After a bit of killing by 6am, the killers started leaving a Bundle of Recordings with the Robbers, instead of bullets, Their would be more fighting, they deserved to lose, So they would today, Cause tomorrow the new crack robbers dont show, for the first time in 30 years.

Viscous weather hit the mountains when Era left for her mother lodge. After the rematch Era and her Cohorts began packing up for the trip, Most Eras Army and Most of Tabitha's army had decided to go and they left town in a hurried yet orderly fashion. Era being the lodge princess promised food and lodging for as long as they decide to visit. And Television. They almost didn't make it, but Era found herself in Front of a giant lodge in the forest, lit up on the inside.
The Front Door open “Era Game, your gonna catch your death of cold, get in here, and bring your poor friends.” Era heard her mother loud and clear. With a quick two foot drift, the convoy was stuck, luckily at the destination.
_____
By 7am Era and her huge assembly of friends piled into the giant lodge where Era had grown up. By That time the fighting had started up again.
The Killers fended off attacks on three trucks slaughtering half of the robbers before they gave up. At the same time, two crews of killers raced through the street chasing baron ricks crew of shooters, Three Killers died in the fight, but baron ricks crew was dead as a doornail.
Twenty minutes later a dozen autos went up in smoke, But it was the one that blew up in the government distract that caught the attention of the three major news outlets.
—-------------
Police detective Member examined the burning carcass of a destroyed auto. He was out of the house by 5 am and down to the station to find his city engulfed in war. By 9 am the death toll had reached into the hundreds. What was so different now, he could sense something else was coming to light. Something that didn't fill with bombs or bullets.
While he Investigated the Crime Scene, The High Assassins Ran took out three more Robbers, holed up above the fifth floor of a Famous Peaks Motel. The Assassins left the scene with no robber living.
Hearing the Bulletin on the police clicker Detective memer wanted to see this motel, and took off.
“THe Morgues are full today, hanson” Memer said to his partner as the got in a flashy undercover vehicle, black and deep blue. A deep blue than the Killers but still Blue.
“Praise be the Killers from Peak Heights” Hanson offered “Hope we don't catch any of those.
Hanson Smiled. They could get 45, except for the hard to navigate Streets in Peaks. Very few autos could do 45.
______
“I think New Crack saw that one. They must know how we’ve been getting the supplies out of the industrial area.” The Box Stores had the Police, the Box Stores had there own security, and the robbers were sore from it.
“What’s to know, Airplanes? Airports! I wouldn't believe it for awhile.”
The automated airport system loaded the supplies on Cargo Planes the Killers would leave under guard of secrecy.
“I hope the streets will be clear for Era.” Jinx stated.
An earth shaking explosion rock the second store of a central peaks Grocery store were Jinx and his lieutenants held an impromptu strategy. His lieutenant Carvan smiled a broad thing “No Doubt we’ll almost make it before something else saves our ass.”
“I need Era, We need era, we need river Boats and a lot of them. And here friends, she has alot of them.” The men nodded as another explosion rocked the building shaking dust loose.
“When we hit the water front the cops are gonna come gunning for us, till it’s over” Said Frenz, one of Jinx’s favorite soldiers.
The Cult of Cathode watched the exchange, long after Era had left for her parents, nearly taking half the town with them. The stardust emulators that jinx used, and had left for Era to use were both a glow of activity, giving the Eye of Cathode greater range of thoughts.
“The killers need Boats. “ Said George, “Lets get them Boats.”
A voice from a great distance within screamed bloody murder and a angry face appeared in the shared vision. The high killers saw from there pearch, They Saw Childred and the voice “I heard that, Who do you think you are! You Will die if you help the Killers. I will kill you myself.”
The eye blocked Childred out and ended the vision in Silence.
—-------
“My dear child , I’m afraid you and your friends are stuck here with us for a few days.” Her mother processed the roll call of her friends, “Ok I believe everyone that came with you is here with us. Dinner will be served in 20 minutes. You know Era theres something different about you. Do you feel alright.”
“I feel great mother.” Era popped over and kissed the mark who was helping stow their troops' baggage. Each and everyone would sleep in a bunk tonight. Outside the snow was nearly three feet.
“The road will be clear as soon as the snow stops, or a little before. We're expecting three days, then your father and I will be taking three big trucks full of Venison to a distribution center.
For the hungry people of peaks.”
“The’re gonna love that.”
“Were gonna do some shopping!” Said Her Mother
“Shopping” Said Charlie, overhearing that detail.
“Oh No, Charlie can shop.” Era quipped
“Well, I just have to see about that. And none of your hijinx were in the boxstore.” Eras mother commanded. “ You know what I figured out whats so different about you Era, I do believe you are pregnant.”
______
The water front was home to a thousands vendors and other peddlers. But it was also the hangout for a hundred robbers. No one believed the killers would hit the area with violence, but they would today.
In a couple hours, assassin would seek out the most violents robbers, and kill them on sight. From the most violent to the least, few would escape the melee.
Down 15 killers, they would be remembered tomorrow, when they didn’t show up.
“Your gonna pay you worthless excuse.” Said The high killer who jumped the bar and chased down the man, threatening the bartender into serving free drinks to his friends. He stormed up the bar knocking everything asunder, and closed in penetrating the robber puke with his long blade, lost in savage passion the Killers continue to stab the man without remorse.
The killers Homies shot the rest of the roobbers in cold blood as the tried to leave the bar.
—--------------
“I Can't be…pregnant. Oh wait, yes I can. Oops.” Eras mother Alice, grabbed Era by the shoulders.
“I didn’t mean to startle you Era, Of course you can get pregnant, of course you can, be in love!” She looked over to Where adam was starting to approach. He had heard the word pregnant and was on his way to hold Era,
“Um…” Era said as mark wrapped his arms around Era Game and beamed to her
“Did I hear that right.” Mark said and laughed “I was sticking around because youre worthit, I didnt expect the other night to happen, not after all this time,
Through the Stardust emulator that wa running in the library they all saw the Childred threaten George Game, with his snarling tone.”
“That was chillred! Threatening to kill us.” Era grabbed mark.
“Your father must have heard that, these Emulators are pretty good eh.”
Gilbys husband bristoled at the message and imagine snapping this children in half with his mighty hands.
Then with a whisper. “Dear Era! I hope you can hear me, its Jinx.” Everyone giggled and Era smiled. Her mother left the great Hall. “I need you again girl. I know your snowed in by now I caught the weather report, But in four days we will have three big cargo planes leaving south peaks and I need you on that flight, I need you to teach some of my people how to fly in these things. Its the best way to get the industrial supply route out of peaks without getting attacked.”
“Ok.” Eras friends looked at her as if she was a god, not just a queen.
“Your the only one, I know of that has flown in these things. Im sorry I didnt tell you exactly what were up to, but I know you will understand, as many needy familys need this cargo. Sick Children.”
“But Im Pregnant.”
______________
“Did I just hear that right?” Said Frenz.
“Yes.” said another lieutenant “She said she pregnant! “
Jinx laughed as another boom shook the building this one from the street. Gun fire chatter out in the morning sun and jinx dropped everything. “Time to scoot.”
They all hustle out of the building and entered a dozen autos and left.
Pregnant. With Marks baby he assumed. Good for her. He instantly thought of Tabitha’s and the message Era had left him, which the stardust emulator confirmed but linking with a fidgeting Tabitha who was warmly tucked into the .
Tomorrow would be different, he could feel, but the born robbers would still infest his city, and he hoped after Era took flight, the war would be over, probably not.
_______
“You know, if you two are peak heights killers as you say.” Said Gilbys Husband “Which I don't doubt you are.” he continued “By the looks of you, there might as well be 4 men standing there. I think considering, that I want to meet your brothers.”
Bravo smiled. “Good, they want to meet Gilberts Giant!”
They all laughed
“I've seen him carry two elks but the Antlers. Laughed Gilby.
“Is that what those were. Scrawny little things.”
“They were huge.” Gilby added.
“I bet.”, said Dillinger, still angry from the message the children had sent, and warmed by Jinx's message to Era, who had left after her mother. Mark floated around until he ended up on there little group,
“I’m gonna be a father!”
“Watch out!” Said charlie, causing Gilby to double over, careful to hand her hot cocoa to her husband as she ended up on the floor in a riotous laugh.”
“Your a perfect for the role friend!” Said Bravo.
“Ya!” He said stunned. Charlie winked at the guy sparkling.
“Where for christmas,”
“South Peaks!” Said Tabitha relaxing on a sofa next to two other girls from The Wheel Mob.
“Righteous.” Adam shouted.
Gilby and her two children sat in front of the television, The News Was on, it was mid day. The Screen was bright in black and white, and the announcer looked like a nerd, probably a nerd.
“Fighting grips peaks metro this morning.” The announcer said. “Claiming One hundred and fifty lives, when the violent gangs of the city carried on a brutal symphony leaving dead in their wake.”
“Oh God, that's horrible.” Tabitha let out and stood close to the television.
“Attack of the Hot Gunfire! This just in, multiple attacks on the Waterfront store front. Store Fronts return fire.”:
“Holy Shit!” Squealed Tabithas
“Busy day.” said Adam heading to the Dining Room.
“Two AutoBombs erupted Killing three….” The news faded as tabitha followed Adam, everyone milling to enter the dining hall with enough room for everyone. About Forty in all.
“You don't understand, that's my man doing that, I gotta do something about this.” Tabitha said
_______
Nearly decapitated, the first man fell from the bridge into the dirty water of river Joe. The next to fall took a giant slug to the chest, and the third to fall scream the whole, he hit the water and began swimming, bought the river joe was more deadly than the killers and it pulled the man under.
Up on the Bridge Two Killers wrestled the fourth man, they sought over the rail. One killer has a noose around the man's neck and pulls tight, his body flops over the railing about ten feet till his neck snaps on the noose. They let him go and he disappeared into the muddy river.

Lil blue Sate squatted on 4 wheels and Era Game was in The Back sweat taking care of her baby, while Mark took the wheel.
“I'm telling you I will stay home with my child, this is lunacy!” We can't take our baby on missions!”
“Missions? Were going to the port for cigarettes, I havent smoked in ten months, and its time for a cigarette. And something refreshing.”
“I have smokes.”
“Gimme one. Pull over so I can smoke it.”
Lil Blue pull over at a lil rest stop, pretty much an extra lane dashed away from the main rd.
Era hopped out of lil blue and the baby started crying. Just a lil. “Poor kid. With a mother like that. A kid should have everything.”
Mark soothed the child and era smoked.
“Ok you stay home with the child and Ill jack Airplane rides and teach Jinxs people to do it.”
“Whoa! Thats heavy shit. “
“Ive been pregnant so …..long I cant stand it. But I gotta take the baby.”
“You gotta stay home.”
“Listen, my mother left me outside with the bears before I knew what a bear was!” Era Exclaimed
“I doubt it. She at least waited till you could run fast enough.” Mark corrected.
“Listen, I was fast at a young age.”
.
“You were probably a fat lil looker.” said mark.
“Oh Ill kill you!” Era said, throwing her smoke. SHe open the front pilots hatch and jump in, grabbing mark “I was not.”
They cuddle for a little bit.
“Our Baby is so beautiful!” Mark finally said, They kiss each other and got back on the road. After a few miles era looked up from the baby and took a look at the road.
“Your right! Turn around. Turn around now and go back home, Theres no trouble but I dont want there to be any.” So mark easily turned lil blue back towards home and sped off.
______________________________
The Dream she had with mark and the baby, was deep, like with any good dream, she thought she was there, until she woke up. No she was in her bunk, next to mark and she could see the snow had nearly covered the window to the bunkroom she shared with here friends instead of going into her old room and bringing it back to life. Besides her old bedroom was on the other side of the lodge and she wanted to be with her friends.
They had been sleeping to long anyways, and Era woke up, got out of bed and pushed herself into help her mother and staff, clean and order the lodge for the coming day.
“Good morning my daughter, you look even more pregnant than yesterday.” Alice had said upon seeing era.
“You know what, Im sick to my stomach a little.” said era “Is that normal.” Era had accepted her new fate, in lock step to it.
“Thats normal dear. I used to get so sick with you and your sister.” Said Alice.
“My sister!! Where is she i wonder?.” era said hefty a heavy blanket into the anteroom.
“Away on a romantic adventure, just like you.” Her mother answered.
“Ya but the evil version.” Ha ha she laughed.
“The evil version of Era Game, kind of like a normal person isn’t it.” Said Eras father from the anteroom entry. Era finished spreading the blanket out over a log rail to dry completely before stowing it. She smiled big and bounced to her Father who scooped her up into his big hunters arms.
“Daddy!” Era Squealed. They hugged and then her father dropped her to the floor. She stayed looking at her Giant Pa.
“Your mother already told me Era.” Her father wrapped his arm around his wife] “ A grandchild!”
Her father aproaved and that was all she need to explode and wake up mark.
She dragged mark across the lodge and pull him into the room were her parents still embraced, she grabbed mark by the waist firmly. “This is him, he did it.”
“Oh My, He’s even bigger than Gilbys HUsband.” Mark said, Her father smiled.
“Same size I think really.” Era corrected
Mark was a good looking man with a pleasant demeanor. He got on great with her parents all the way through Breakfast. Then Eras father took Gilbys Husband along with Bravo and Dillinger out to the Barn to discuss a grave matter. Era assumed they were talking about Childred.
The snow was even letting up a little by the end of the second day, and her mother promised on the morning of the third day they would begin to prepare for the Shopping Trip to peaks. But tonight The Big Spinner, a rerun, would be on and then More Minutes Than News More News than Minutes would be on and they had a piece on an orphanage in Dieter Metro Parks that house 10,000 children easy, with room for more if they needed it.
Anyways the snow had piled high, and it would be a chore to remove, they would all get up early and help Her Parents and the crew to clear the snow to drive the trucks out, packed with Venison from the mountain range. They had stockpiled an enormous amount and this wouldn’t be the only delivery.
Era wanted to hold her baby. Era collapsed from the daydream she was having and smiled. With a tear. “I kinda hate the Snow.”
Tabitha sat next to her. “You know I dont know why Im telliung you this but…” Tabithas smiled “If I hadnt met jinx that night and spent all morning with him, I woulda made a beeline for you. If I wanted anyone baby, it’s you.”
“Whoa.” Era said. “But you met Jinx.:
“”I met Jinx.” Tabithas crying “He asked me to marry him Era.”
“I like you too.” Era cold breaking nature paused for a moment.

The First Robber down was beat down by Six thugs, and they took everything he was guardian. They shot two more on the way out of the area.
The Casualties would break this fever, but the robbers where gonna break before anemone. The Skill in making this string of illegals actions,a winner was to hold oll the ground they they had taken and keep the other off balance and they didnt see a robber in sight. What about the cops. Homicide and Gang taskforce was hot on the attacks, they were collecting evidence and post up in and near the main suspected gangbangers in the wave.
Jinx was there, he was at the beat down and the main was dispatched with boots to the faces and skull. They emptied the stash and leveled 50 slugs to get two on the way out. Two guys…. It was heavy and Jinx didn't think to crack, but someone did and they got to thinking. Meanwhile the recordings were being listened too and there were a lot orf them, the born robbers were lost on it, but the New Crack were from peaks, they live here too and they know these musicians, and this music is from the ghetto, its their childhood.
“I cannot Wait to see this girl Tabitha.”
Through the stardust, they had heard him. and jinx heard “Were Snowed in.” He saw their smiles . We will be in peaks tomorrow” Jinx offered a sligh look and shuffled his Card Deck Face. This adjustment felt so good , Jinx was in Love with both of them, Love on a gangster was murder and it was O.K.
“We got to hit so many spots by tomorrow.” The Fierce fighting continued through the night and by morning Jinx was laid with Tax and well The Taxman was someone to know.
Then Jinx heard the era say. “I am pregnant.” and “Yes She is, I just wanna eat her up.” He heard Tabitha say through the emulator's deep mystical features.
“O.K.” Smiled Jinx “Me Too.”
—----------------
It was Brute Force and alot of it that got the snow off the roads public and private, but the snow was letting up and was clear right before dawn. And Cold, Deeply cold chilled. The Trucks were warming up and Era had a Time De Icing Lil Blue. the hot water help, but was a chore. Lil Blue started up and got Caresin hot real quick.
She knew now after so long with the emulator that Jinx was expecting them early, It would be by nine before they were on the high near the drop off for the Venison. After that, Shopping! And lots of it. All the Girls had lists and were getting stuff to take home, all on her parents box credit accounts.
There would be a massive amount of clothes to deliver to the orphans relief donations centers.
Era Felt her belly with her hand. “Your evil aunt is gonna love you so much my lil baby. She's gonna want you so bad, and she's gonna do evil, wicked things to get you.”
“Era!” Era’s mother shouted out from across “Make sure everyone is ready to go,”
Era made her rounds helping each of her friends make final preparations. When she got around to Tabitha's ride an excitement take over her. She busily helped Tabitha and smiled wide at her.
“I love you tabby.” Said era and she was off to climb into lil blue where mark was sipping coffee from a mug. She heard Tabitha shout out. “I love You too.”
—------
THe Robber from New Crack ran hard for two miles, He had seen them get cut out with giant blades, two of his men who wouldn't ever show up again. He ran like a flying dart, jumping over obstacles. Weaving his way through an urban east peaks.neighborhood. The killers where fast on there feet too,
The Robber ran hard and jumped across a gap and went swift around a building on the other side. He nearly couldn't make it through between two buildings, but did and sprinted down hill.
The killers let him go. He was fast and something was different. The New Crack Robber lost his crew but not his life. It was almost time to get off the streets and get ready to move a huge convoy of trucks. So the Killers left the seen with a new car. And didnt return.
The Robber From new crack hid out now. Was that snow? Probably the peaks erea went from summer to Winter Conditions never letting up till spring.
Later The New Crack Robber would return to his poke out.
—------------------------------------
“My sister!! Where is she? I wonder?.”
—---------------------------------
Unfortunately the house burned to the ground. There were bodies away and unharmed by the fire. But dead nonetheless.. The Detectives stood like giants casting a shadow on everything.
The peculiar evidence kept popping up crime scene after crime. And it led to an industrial complex on the south Peaks City limits, a mountain plateau offering sprawling flat spaces. Something about an airplane. According to the colorful magazines that show a stranglooking auto with giant wings attached to it.
The fighting was over, no new attacks for 20 mins now. That was good news, and before sunset they would be in the south peaks checking it for anything related, Of course they have been finding this material, but it did not make any sense, they hadn't found an airplane or any people for that matter.
They had almost abandoned the whole idea of an airplane in South Peaks, when a few detectives saw an airplane in the sky above. Sos the Case pushed on and when it started to get thick with chatter about the airplanes they decided to camp out in South Peaks near the location and try and spot one of these airplanes
____________________
They worked behind a giant snow plow ,down the mountain towards the Peaks metro Highway. It was slow and tedious and they would stop along the way enjoying the drizzle of snow flakes.
When they stop because the plow pilot needed to pee, Dillinger appeared.
“My sister? She in the Convoy?”
“I think you too really do look the same. Someone said you were riding with some girls from the wheel mob, and I thought that didnt sound right.”
“You sisters here?” Mark Said.
Charlie Laughed, “Ive never met her.” and she jumped out of little blue and ran back to the cars where Dillinger had pointed.
“No Wait!” Era Said.
Itll only be a minute”
“Well I’m not sure if I haven't been talking to her this whole time. You have the same voice.”
“Evil Twin sister alert!” Said Era. “Shes not really evil in the classic sense, its shell do things I wont do. The ramifications of the are widespread my friend.”
Charlie jumped into lil blue and laughed. “Oh no Era she looks just like you. You dress the same.”
“She’s copying me.
“She’s a good looking coffee, thats whats different you sister is stacked.
“O.K! Lets get this show on the road!” Era said
“I think Jinx would want us to guard you both, so were gonna be half as effective.” Said Dillinger, they heard Bravo give a great big loud Ho!!
“Thats at least ten time more effective than we need.” Dillinger smiled and took off.
“Lets go.”
________
Jinx sat in the back of a large van. Still on three wheels but big and slow. Though they were stopped, so it didn't matter to jinx where They watched the donation center hustle with incoming and outgoing trucks.
Era and her parents would be there within a couple of hours. Jinx wanted to be there but he left two more men to fill Era In.when she got there, and escort her and her guard to south peaks. So they took off leaving two autos, each with a pilot
_________
They made it free of the mountain snow storm affected area and the plow. And were barrelling down the mountain towards north west peaks.
“Well be at depot in an hour and 15 mins, I can't wait to go shopping!” Yelled era, she was talking to Tabitha out the window.
“Me Too!” Said Tabitha.
“Whats an airplane?” MarAdam asked from the backseat.
“You’ll see!” said era. She almost wanted to hit the depot and skip shopping, but she knew by instinct they would be too early if she did, so she tried to throw herself into the shopping state of mind.
When they hit the Depot an hour and a half later she finally saw her Sister Romoana, Evil looking as ever, with tnose curves. she smiled, not by choice. They were out of their autos stretching their legs and help unload the truck.
The two men that jinx had left to guide Era to the airport and the airpplanes. Had made there presence known. Bravo spotted them first , and his grin was good news.
“Well We gotta go shopping with my parents and then we can go see this airport.” Tabitha was perplexed by the notion to skip the shopping trip, which was not like her at all, not by a long shot. “Dont worry, there not ready yet.”
“Well I bet your right well go to the box with you,” Said one of the men,
“Then well go to the airport.”
“Theyll be a few people waiting for us.” Said the other man from the heights.
“And Ill show them how to board the plaines I dream about it deeply when I sleep.”
After all the talk with these two men they all forgot to mention Era had a twin sister. Which explains why the two men had abruptly disappeared and so had her sister.
“She said she was going to the south peaks to find an airport.” Said Alice when era asked where her sister was. “What's an Airport?”
“It's where airplanes take off from.” Era assured her.
“And Land!” Exclaimed mark dusting his hands done with the task.
“What's an Airplane?”
“A giant metal bird.”
“Are you still going shopping?” Asked her mother. “Were gonna be at the lodge tonight in north peaks. Havin a party, In Your Honor., You better make it there girl. And you bring your sister back “
“Yes Mam.”
The trucks emptied and Eras mother held her baby girl so tight. “I wanna see you tonight, I don’t like what I see, you're pregnant, you need to come home.”
“Uncle George said We could stay at the estate.” Said Era.
“Its Good place but you need me and I want a grandchild.” Eras Mother said.
“I just gotta show these people how to board the planes so they can teach others, I expect a fight is gonna take us 6 hours round trip. If we don't have to wait, I think we will be going down there too early.”
“I'm comin!” Yelled tabitha. “I don't know what I'm thinking of passing up a shopping trip with the Games.”
“I'll tell you what , make it back by morning and we'll go shopping before we head back here to drop off the clothing, then we'll see where you're off to.”
“Deal!” They all said in chorus.
“Well throw a party when you get there.
Era sped off with the jalopy and tabitha's Auto in pace formation heading into peaks to catch the highway through the middle of peaks all the way to the area were She assumed she would find the airport.
The highway was fast, but broken down autos littered the side of the road, with many people living in the dangerous area where high speed autos passed throught the middle of the city.
At That monet a human looking eye, barely opened, and Era Saw herself Kissing Tabitha passionately. And Tabitha saw it too. They were on a plane in the air.
“Oh No!” Era snapped to herself, and tabitha sped up along side eras auto and honk, when era glanced over she saw Tabitha wink at her.
It must be the baby cause era instantly thought of taking a nap.
__________
One last shot, and the war was over for now, since the killers had done what they set out to do. Now they would focus on getting those boats.
Jinx wouldn't be able to see the era take off in the plane. They were watching the Robbers body die on its feet before crumbling to the ground.
He hoped to see era later, and of course Tabitha.
__________
When Era Jumped out of Lil Blue they were all parked near the entrance of a suspicious looking place, as soon as they got close to the property Era could hear the motors on two airplanes. Tabitha's race into the property leaving the rest at the entrance. But before she did she stopped near Era and Said out the pilot side window of her pink Hot Rod auto.
“You know I cant tell the difference between you and your sister”. And it all became clear yet again why era was doomed to see her only sister that she loved so much as evil.
“You know thats gotta be the story of my life.” Era cried a little to herself. And Tabiotha tore off into the airport. They caught up to her to see her and Her sister board a large cargo planes hand in hand, like lovers.
“Oh my God You!!!” Era collapsed into marks embrace, he kissed her cheak. “Did you see that?”
“I heard.” Mark said. “Whats up with that anyway.”
“I think shes in Love with me.” Era said and pulled away from Mark and jumped in lil blue, “Come on.” Mark jumped into lil blue and they sped up and drove into the airport.
They were barrelling down the long entrance driveway. And both era and bravo had to dodge a giant truck leaving. Must have been one of the trucks loading the Cargo planes.
__________
The peaks metro Police Homicide detectives had seen Era Game and her Friends enter the property and the truck leave. So they decided to rush the Airport in force. 15 officers with fully automatic rifles.
In 10 vehicles they turned there Flashing Police lights on.
—-------------------
Well it didnt take them very long to notice this girl wasn't like the other girl. Then Tabitha showed up, grabbed Romoana and sped off to the hanger to make the flight. But that didn't even matter since the real mccoy was on a heat down the road towards them, They knew the car, only seeing it once, they knew it was era.
ERa came to a skidding halt just as they saw the cops,On top of all that, an airplane took offf from the runway and flew right over the cops as they were almost.
“Uh Oh.”
“It'll Be fine we haven't done anything.1” mark said. Era appreciated that. The guy ran and disappeared over a grassy hill into the trees. Except mark and adam. That planes was huge overhead and the cops could be seen smiling as they skidded to a halt , jumping out of their vehicles , rifles aimed and cocked
“Freeze everybody.!” said the detectives.
“That must have been Tabitha and Romoana..My Sister.” Era yelled. “Ohhh.”
Two more planes took off and cast a shadow over the seen as they passed.
“Whoa!!!!”
“And You are?” THe detective asked era.
“Era Game!!”
“Ohhh.. this was unexpected,. The detectives shook their heads at each other.” Your queen of your army Fire on the Mountain
“THe one and only.” She thought about her sister and smiled.
“You're a Brilliant tactician.” THey said together.
Era sensed a path through this. Unexpectedly, but, “Go Fish.” She Said.
“Era Game You are so famous.” The Detective said. “I have one question for you. Was that an Airplane, were those airplanes.”
“Yes!” Era cracked a tear. “Im afraid so.”
“”Oh No, This is not normal.” The detective laugh. “Era Game we knew you would be in town. We to escort you and your friends to a safer place, you are important to the future of Roller Derby. Its too important , its dangerous out here.”
“You sound like my mother.” Era said.
