Ride the Lightning

And.
Go! We're fast on the take-off guys Better employ the brakes, please! Right! Man, brakes would totally defeat the purpose of my ultra-speed, aerodynamic nose-cone! Nosecone deployed.
Brakes! BRAKES! Hey! Shift weight on the turns ! We're unstable! Wrong! We gotta power THROUGH the turns! Listen up.
Chuck, ease on the brakes.
Dutch, retract the nose-cone Julie, lean AGAINST the turn and Texas, stop pushing! and 3, 2, 1let's go! Killerjump guys! Yeah! We totally conquered that hydrochute! Now I'm gonna punch it's face! So cold! Is it me, or did the sun just go out.
Look! Everyone, out of the water! I thought it was July.
Can someone please hand Texas a towel.
Hoho, it's gonna be a cold one today in Motorcity I've send in a team of friendly KaneCo.
representatives down to your wretched sinkhole to offer you a new life up here with me, Abraham Kane.
Join me, won't you? Or, freeze to death.
The choice is yours Big surprise, it's Kane.
But how is he doing it? That is an excellent question for Chuck You need to drink your anti-freeze Roth.
It's for your own good.
Chuck? Chuck! Yeah uh, uuuh, I don't know! Uhm, uhm, I'm working on it! Hehe Let's set out guys.
We need to find the source of this cold-front before it freezes all of Motorcity! Oh, Claire, uuh, looks like I can't drive you home right now, Weell I've never been down here alone! And it kinda smells.
That's the steakhorn casserole I've made this morning! You and I are going to have a heck of a lunch Missy! Wait a second, I've just realized something Chuck.
I need you stay here at HQ.
You do? Well, yeah.
Don't you need to stay behind and track the storm? Well actually I could probably just do No I'm afraid I need you stay behind and work from the.
.
uuh the big computer dial! Aah, uuh, the BCD, yeeah I uh, I have to use that, don't I? I don't get it.
Why can't he do his nerd-thing from the car? So why do you wanna freeze rats Mister Kane? For the last time.
The rats are the people in Motorcity.
People like Mike Chilton.
Oh THOSE rats! Yees.
My team of specialists will be collecting these miscreants and bring them up here to Deluxe, where I'll force them to spend every waking hour slaving away in my factories.
Not only do I get complete control over Motorcity, but I get free labor.
But why would you want rats in the factories, they're terrible workers Tooley! Why don't you just Ready to move out Mister Kane.
Good.
Report here first.
I've got just the man to carry your bags.
How's it looking at nine o'clock Dutch? Man, I can't see anything in this stuff.
Jules? Nothing back here.
Texas.
Texas hasn't hit anything yet! Mike, I've tracked the coldfront to the western quadrant, just a few blocks from you! Head north-west.
Nice Chuck, keep an eye on it.
Yeah! Oh these are just some simple compression algorithms I mean I can tell you all about it.
Hehehe if you like algorithms.
So is this what you guys do around here for fun? I collect unique motoroil for fun.
I think you will find this an extremely rewarding hobby.
What do you do with it? Oh all sorts of exciting things! You can look at it and uh Well you just look at them, mostly.
Supercool.
Uhm, hey I'm gonna go check things out over there.
Ease up guys, snow's getting heavy.
We must be close.
Roth.
Little help? Oh, what the heck is that? Talk to me Chuckles.
Uh, looks like it sending super-charged cold particles all over the atmosphere.
It's turning the whole city into a giant freezer! Alright team.
Hang back, I'll go in for a look.
Alright Burners, let's hang back while Mike goes in for a look.
Oh, it can fly.
Not good.
Talk with me guys.
We've got you covered! Floored! Burners, I Mike! Come again, we can't hear you! Tryingstick down He's going to try to wear it down! You said "bring it down"? Guys, we're losing him! Don't worry, I'll handle it.
Stop stop stop! Texas, Dutch, stop! He's.
gone.
Mike? Mike! Do you read me? I got nothing! No read on Mike OR the machine! I can't track its signal with all this interference! Of course we wouldn't have lost it if SOMEBODY wasn't driving like a jerk.
Don't blame yourself Julie.
She wasn't.
She was blaming you! Save your wind fellas, man, we're gonna need that energy! Yeah.
And we have to focus on the ONE guy down here who can lead us out of danger.
Me! Texas.
Now! Let's go find Mike.
Burners.
Do you read me? Come in! Burners.
Hey! You guys didn't follow me! There's a perfectly good reason for that.
Nobody WANTS to follow you.
Okay smart-guy, let's hear your big idea for finding Mike.
Alright.
Let's say this is Motorcity.
This is the Climator? And these are civilians.
If we're gonna save them and find Mike, we need to use some sort of heat magnifier to clear some of the snow! Otherwise Otherwise bluh! Your plan is stupid and everybody gets burried alive! Wow easy fellas! Come on now I've got an idea everyone will like! We're gonna find the Climator and Mike, using simple everyday mathematical triangulation! That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
Yeah it's a little convoluted.
Why won't you let me talk? Why why why Why are you always You're stupid you don't even know Hey hey hey! Texas punches good.
Oh no, not Texas! Hey, hey! Everyone, check it out! I'd say he went that way! Woah, warm, that's more like it.
Hello.
Hellooo? Hey.
Freezing stranded guy out here.
I need help.
Hold it right there! Oh man! The trail ends here.
Where do we go now? Okey-dokey.
We've tried everything else, now we're gonna listen to Texas' gut.
I call him Mister Six-Pack.
Mister Six-Pack says we're going that way! For the last time, I am not following you OR your gut! Frankly, I'd rather find Mike by myself! Oh, you're freakin right! ?Fall in line? Dutch! Both of you, stop! Guys, this isn't the time for a power-struggle! Mike is out here somewhere! Yeah, and he wants me to lead us to him! What?! Oh ??? Texas, Dutch, just listen to.
.
Zip it Miss Deluxe.
Oooh you did not just call me that.
Uuh, I think I did! Deluxe!! Stop cutting me off! You know, this is exactly what I was talking about.
Shhshsh! What's that? Uh, guys? Is that what it sounds like? Yeah, and no sign of Mike! Oh you're telling me, that thing ATE Mike?! Texas wants revenge! Let's go kick this giant refrigator's butt! So, Mike Chilton, Deluxe's most wanted criminal.
Where are your friends? They went to Grandma's for the weekend.
Where are the rest of the Burners?! Help me search the perimeter.
Who's staying behind and watch him? Get the new guy to do it.
That guy? He's a complete half-wit.
Eh new guy! Keep an eye on that prisoner while we have a look-around.
Oooh boy, a prisoner! And DON'T talk to him.
I will not let KaneCo.
down! He's Mister Kane's right-hand man.
How dumb could it be? Okay Dutch.
I need you to access the menu and face of the Climator.
I don't see any sort of manual override.
The handbook says it's gotta have a manual override feature.
Well, maybe you and the handbook could come down here and show it to me.
That is if it's okay with your girlfriend, Claire! Uh, Texas!! Dude, do you mind? I'm trying to remove the netlocks! They could help us locate Mike! You shouldn't be moving ANY locks while I'm trying to smash this machine.
Now help me and get out of my way! You mean this wire? No! That didn't work! Forget this! Take that! Texaaas! I've got it! It's still weather-izing! Get to the rides, now! Climator has been breached.
Defense system have been activated.
Oh? Precipitation is now: "Giant, ten-foot icicles".
Burners.
Are you actually making it worse? It's like you're doing my work FOR me! Incoming! Roth! Someone ordered a tow-truck? Jacob! I've never been so happy to see your old wrinkly face!! Uuuh, thanks.
We lost Mike.
And we've put all of Motorcity in danger.
It gets worse.
While we were arguing, Mike send us this message.
Burners, do you read me? Come in.
That's all there is.
How are we supposed to find him with that? How did things go so wrong?! Okay here's the thing: it's like you guys are trying to dress somebody, BU you're all picking out different types of clothes that don't match.
You're totes not coordinating.
That's actually pretty spot-on.
Now, we can sit here and feel sorry for ourselves or we can get out there and find our friend! I know where he is.
Tooley! The greatest god in the world!! I gotta admit, you are doing a bang-up job.
You really got some muscle on ya.
Thanks for noticing.
It's a shame those other KaneCo.
guys don't respect you.
You should hear what they say behind your back! What did they say, hey you know I'm not supposed to talk to you! Anyone can see your talents are wasted on those people.
Shut your mouth! We know Mike passed Michigan and 12th we can start tracking him from there! You know, I may not make it back.
Wait what, you're leaving?! Again?! I said, I may not Look, you can't leave me here again, okay? I'll die of weirdness! Okay, I'm gonna go now.
I bet Kane doesn't appreciate you! Don't you EVER speak Mr.
Kane's name again! Does Kane even talk to you outside of work? You know.
.
youQUIT THA All I'm saying is, you're obviously Get him! the strongest of the bunch juuust not the brightest.
Ah, don't mind if I do.
Mike! You're okay? Get me to Mutt.
Ah, Mister Kane, guess what? I've been produckve! That's nice Tooley.
We built the campfire, made snowangels, had a fistfight, caught Mike Chilton, climbed up You WHAT?! I climbed up a tree? You caught Mike Chilton?! Yeah, but he got away.
Couldn't gone far though! Get me control over that Climator! Hello, girl! You missed me? Oh no, it's back.
Everyone help me dig out Mutt! Creating warmfront.
Huh.
That feels like Warm air!! Mike! I think Kane is causing two different air pressure systems to collide so he can make TORNADOES!!! After it guys! Creating "Tornado".
Creating "Tornado".
Creating "Tornado".
I'm safely on the ground, I'm safely on the ground.
Julie, use your accelerator jets to get above Mutt! Oh please tell me you're not thinking what I think you're thinking.
Creating "Horrifying eletrical storm".
I have to time this juust right.
Hold it steady Julie! Follow my lead! Mike! We can do that.
No problem! The lightning is the best punch this thing has.
Any way to make it work for us? We can try to harvest the lightning with our cars! Only if we wanna completely fry ourselves! Any way to make it NOT fry us? We can use some of those antennas as lightningrods! But, there's still a 50% chance that we'll be cooked alive! Love those odds! Julie, you run your holograms and get Texas within striking distance, it's time to show this honking thing who runs things around here! Got the lightning! Holos ready! Texas ready! Not enough for ya huh? Hold it steady Dutch! Got it! Now Texas! Whuzzah Texas!! Dutch! Chilton Good call on the lightningrods.
Good call on the snag-and-fry.
Nice take-down! You did good too Cindy.
It's Julie.
I'm so glad you're back Mike.
You have NO idea what it was like without you.
Thanks Dutch.
I missed you too.
Yeah, speaking of which, maybe it's time we made this whole second-command-thing official.
You know just so people know who's in charge if you ever go missing again.
Hhm, we will talk about that.
Yeah! We're gonna talk about it! Well, it's been real hanging out down here, can I get back to civilization now? Oh let me guess, Chuck went on about algorithms again, didn't he? Chuck?! Yeah, Chuck is the LEAST weird thing about this place.
I think you're making progress.
Alright listen up Burners, now that I've got my team firing on all cylinders again, we've got one last piece of unfinished business.
Seriously?! And Go!!! Let's get this baby moving! Faster! You got it! Guys But not too fast! Texas! We're tipping! Guys
