Rosa growled at Cesare and Emily and stood her ground. Her spikes were out. "Think you can take me on?" she said in a challenging tone, "Let's see you try."
Emily glared at the scarlet Probe with menace.

Cesare eyed Rosa's clicking spikes. Here was a girl who was not to be taken lightly, big talk or no. He circled her slowly, casually tossing his whip-fall. "I deal with street trash like you every day in New York... and it always ends the same way... with the trash taken out!"
Kain roared and swerved again, air horn blasting, aiming to stick Kamui, or at least gore her.
Sanchez limped out of the picture, swearing revenge in gutter Spanish. Ondine and Tex held their guns on him beneath Tempest's shield.
"Thanks." Mike grinned to the Enzo woman.
Strip maintained a station beside Sapphire's trailer. He hoped he wouldn't have to ask her to move to the better-protected clinic.

"Try me," challenged Rosa, narrowing her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tempest nods, "You are welcome. But I suspect that we will not see that last of him."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sapphire was awakened by the airhorn and was wondering what was going on. She tried to look out her window to see.

"Best stay away from the glass, darlin'." Strip called out to his daughter. "We got some serious no-good's out there now."
Sanchez was hiding again, and reloading. He was far from through! Saffiya helped him change his busted tire while she plotted some action of her own.
"He's not the kind that would give up that easy." Ondine concurred.
"He's th' worst kinda crazy." Tex muttered. "He don't care if he lives or dies."
"Come on, senor plowface!" another insult stung Kain's ears like a gadfly's bite. He steered hard right, spinning into a position to attempt to nail Kamui as she passed again. Then, he charged.

Sapphire coughs and edges away from her window. "What's going on, Dad...?" she asks in a scratchy voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tempest lowered her shield, but was ready to bring it back up again.
"Then I suggest that we be prepared if he does come back with friends."

Elke nodded. "Alright then..." She was still a bit skeptical, as it seemed that Lynda was offering to take her to the diner more than neccessary lately, but... whatever she said, Elke would go by.

Cesare made a feinting move as he circled Rosa, then charged, with the monofilament strands of his whip fall flashing in an attempt to score her side.
"Buncha crazies are attacking us. They were out for Robb's hood, but any one of ours will do." Strip called back.
With Irene covering them, Lynda led Elke to the diner. There were other cars there, and trailers on either side to provide a barrier.

Rosa turned the aim of her roof spikes at Cesare, backed up, and fired them. The spikes hit the ground in front of her attacker.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I hope they're being taken care of..." rasped Sapphire, laying down on her chassis to rest.

Kamui managed to dodge at the nick of time. She was far smaller and nimbler than Kain.
"HEH HEH HEH! WHAT'S A MATTER? CAN'T CATCH A SHOOTING STAR?" Kamui taunted.
She dodged again and followed up with a series of lightening balls.
"WOOJAH!" she shouted.

Kain instinctively shut his eyes against the lightning balls, and took a bad turn into a soft patch of sand. He found himself spinning his wheels in the pit.
Cesare leaped back with a curse coming out from between his gritted teeth. One of Rosa's spikes had grazed his fender, and he stared at her with a murderous intensity. "No one marks me like that and lives." He pivoted and tried to nail her at the rear.
Sanchez had his spare on, and was reloaded. Saffiya handed him a shotgun in a scabbard, which was secured to his frame. She bared the blade at the end of her antenna and off they went, back to engage the patrollers the buggy had encountered before.
<<< Hope you don't mind the spot I put Kain in while you were out, Zed!>>>

Robb watches Cesare attacking Rosa and he growls, "I've had it. This has gone too far!" his armor folds into place, except for the damaged ones, and he leaves Clara behind as he takes a fast wide turn and barrels straight at Cesare as he's distracted, "PREPARE TO MEET YOUR MAKER!" He bellows through his armor's voice modifier.
---
Kain growls as he crawls out of the sand pit, "Just itching to taste my spikes aren't you?"
---
Sanchez realizes that he's making no headway against this bunch so he makes a wide turn around them at almost top speed to keep them from being able to hit him and heads towards town again.
Slaytor. at the vantage point growls, "I can't believe it, it's him!" He leaves Sonya behind as he charges toward Sanchez, grill guard raised.
(Ok I'm caught up.)

Rosa was caught off-guard as she was struck. Now there was a gash across her rear window. It hurt. She yelped and spun around to face Cesare, her spikes fully out, and tried a running attack.
She halts when Robb comes barrelling in. Backing up to a safe distance, Rosa watches for awhile then turns her attention on Emily.

Zed, who's been guarding the clinic, lines up a shot on Emily and hits her with one of the goop balls on her rear quarter, including her tire, "Perfect!" The goop ball begins to grow and as Emily tries to move it gets further stuck in her fender and wheel well.
---
Sanchez spots a familiar throwback Mustang and changes his course, shouting an insult.
"Oh I'm not a rookie any more! You need proof?" Slaytor adjusts his direction too, as Sanchez slides around and lines up a shot on him.

Ondine, Tex and Mike stayed behind Tempest's barrier as they watched Slaytor pursue Sanchez.
"Let's get him caught between us." Mike suggested. "Like a pincer movement."
Cesare lunged out of the way as Robb came for him, lashing his shockwhip strands violently in the hearse's direction. He might have given Rosa a hard time, but both of them on him would be too much.

Robb doesnt even notice as the filaments strike sparks off his side armor panels, He swings his wide rear around in a drift and charges at Cesare again. "You forget you're dealing with a grinder?"
Diane is out of Zed's garage and has been watching the fight between Cesare and the rest as soon as the first airhorn sounded. She waits for now, next to a cursing, fuming Wellington, who looks juat as ready to join in.
---
Sanchez's eyes go wide as Slaytor charges directly for him, He aims for Slaytors front tires in the hopes that he would send the mustang into a rollover crash, he fires, but hits nothing but dirt as Slaytor leaps into the air on his hydros and comes down tires first on Sanchez and his shotgun, Sanches curses as the impact caves in much of his front rollcage and breaks the mouting bolt on one of his shocks. The shotgun is sundered into two pieces and is tossed aside
Slaytor caroms to the side and lands on two side tires, teetering before he regains his balance.
