Well, I've just been following the tunnel as the wall went along, Glimmer explained, I haven't really gone in any other direction since, though I did have to switch the tire I used once. Either way it's a simple matter of backtracking if I hit a dead end.

If I come to a dead end, I'll just go back to that intersection and try again, okay? It was then that Glimmer's mouth suddenly kissed bedrock. He cringed and spat a bit, and quickly felt his surroundings.
Well...figures. Guess I'll go back then.

(OOC: When was he going to get lost? I'm running outta material! ^^;; )
El Bandito groaned and sighed.
<<Uhhiii.... den wher'z ba'k, lad?>> said El Bandito.

This tunnel's wide enough...I'll just turn around and head- Glimmer's thoughts were interrupted when he kissed wall once again. Hang on...this isn't right... He tried not to get tense as he felt the wall and turned again. Maybe if I- Bump.
Oh no...

It was almost as if there was a voice in the back of Kamui's sleepy mind telling her to wake up.
"Five more....minutes...." she muttered.
That mental voice became stronger until she finally woke up.
"Alright... let's move on...." she said with a yawn.
She hadn't shaken out the sleepy fuzz out of her system when she heard the sound of dead silence.
"Glimmer....?" said Kamui calmly.
She was now a little more alert. She glanced around before she came to the grand conclusion that he was gone.
"That IDIOT! What the hell's he thinking?!" Kamui growled.

Okay Jens...don't panic. Think. You came from... Bump again. No...this isn't right! I came from- Bump. Verdammt! I could've...no...not that way...it was... Bump yet again, and Glimmer was actually starting to sob.
"NOOOOO!" he screamed, hoping in vain that Kamui would hear him. But he was already hyperventilating. Glimmer was trapped in darkness in close quarters. He couldn't see a thing, even when his eyes "adjusted" to the low light. "I'm not lost....I'm just a bit disoriented! I just have to relax, I'll get out of this! I'll win! Yes!"

<<Mkay.... yeh kin get through dis. Uh.... whot do yeh normalleh do ta be calm in a pani'c?>> said El Bandito.
This was going about as well as a lead balloon.
_____________________________________________________
Kamui was starting to follow the odd wobbling path created by Glimmer's tire tracks.
"Don't do anything stupid, I said but NUUUOOooo! He doesn't listen! Just how many times do I have to save him?" Kamui muttered.
Then she heard a frantic scream comming from a direction ahead of her.
"Now how many times was that? I lost count," Kamui muttered under her breath as she went towards the sound.

((Whatever happened to the chase? XD)) "I just...I just...I don't know...I think...think of..." Suddenly, Glimmer was in a brightly-lit field, the breeze blowing across the reeds. As Elysian as it looked, Glimmer knew he wasn't dead. Yet, anyway. A bright-red figure emerged from the reeds next to him, and snuggled up to him. Creepily enough, he started to relax in the loving embrace of the one car that had given him solace, if only in memory. "Light...ning..." ((Space Age Love Song just started playing on iTunes streaming 80s. XD;;;;;; )

(OOC: Chase comes later. ^^;; )
Meanwhile, El Bandito observed Glimmer.
Did the lad just pass out in a panic? El Bandito wondered.
_____________________________________________
Kamui continued forward in her search. She finally opted to call out his name.
"Yo! Glimmer! Jens? Glimmowatt bulb! At least say something back so you can save me the trouble of comming up with funny nicknames! Yo Glimmmmmerrrrr!" Kamui called out.

"Lightning..." Glimmer said, clearly in his unconscious trance. "Jens...how have you been?" Lightning replied, his normal yet slightly dorky accent having a disturbingly serenading effect on the Merc. "I've been fine...and you?" "Just gettin' by...haven't been working my magic during races as much as last season." "You could do better than me..." Glimmer looked very forlorn. "Aww, don't say that..." Lightning reached out a tire to pat Glimmer's wheelarches.
The touch sent a shock down his axles.
Or maybe it was Kamui's namecalling, though it certainly didn't wake him up.
((Time for some interference by El Bandito? XD))

El Bandito's shouting, timed with the shock, worked like a charm in causing Glimmer to wake up with a heavy gasp. Just not like a good luck charm in Glimmer's view. Thanks for helping me relax, he groaned sarcastically.
He squinted though, and he realized that he was seeing light. A small light growing bigger. "Okay...I know I'm not dead..."
((Steele's men?))

<<Well... yeh were goin' unconciouz. I tellz yeh, bein' scar'd ta dea'th iz ah 'orrible whey ta die. Dey pi'k on yeh fer dat! I had ta be doin' sumthin'. >> said El Bandito.

"Glimador the barbarian! Where are you? Aw come on! I'm running out of some of my best material! Speak up already!" Kamui called out.
It was only a few minutes longer before she came across a huddled figure near a dead end. She recognized who it was. It would have seemed that Glimmer had been.... sobbing previously?
Aw great. Now this.... is awkward. Let's hope he's not the clingy type. I don't think I could handle that! Kamui thought.
She was half tempted to shout at him for dashing off like he did, but she bit her tongue and tried another approach.
"Yo.... uh.... are you alright? You don't look so good right now," said Kamui trying to be sympathetic.
Yes..... VERY awkward....
