Kat eventually got herself and Alex to that overpass.

Upon reaching that location, It was pretty easy to see Vanoss and the others being chased by several black and red cars.

"Are those Syndicate cars?" Kat asked Alex, who was reaching back up to the turret on top of the truck.

"I'd think so, that's Lui shooting them." Alex replied.

A look further up the road confirmed his theory, as she saw a monkey firing a machine gun while smoking a cigar.

Definitely Lui.

"Okay, drive up next to Vanoss and tell him to tell Delirious to get his ass on the gunner position!" Alex ordered.

"What about you? What are you gonna do?!" Kat asked.

"Lay some hate." Alex replied, grabbing his battle rifle and leaping from the truck.

Kat figured he would be fine, he had done stupider things in the past, until then, she may as well follow orders.

Alex leapt off the Insurgent and onto another car, a grey sedan. The driver started yelling at him while he was searching for a Syndicate car.

Found one! It was a few cars ahead, the passenger shooting what appeared to be a M1927 Thompson.

Alex leapt from one car to the next, which was rather difficult given he was on a highway, leaping from car to car at 80 mph.

Whilst gripping the top of a car, he shot one of the Syndicate car's tires. The tire didn't explode. Of course they were bulletproof.

What about the windows?

Climbing to the top of a minivan, he aimed his BR in the direction of the driver, and fired one shot, intended to hit the back of his head.

The bullet pierced through the back window and the car skidded to the right, and slammed into a roadblock.

A nearby explosion indicated that Delirious and Lui were making short work of the remaining cars, blowing them up seconds after he killed the driver.

Damn! A Syndicate car smashed directly into the minivan he was riding, and the driver as well as the passenger were shooting at him.

Firing at the engine, he tried to hold them back a little.

One look past and he saw about six more Syndicate cars and possibly a red and black helicopter.

Alex grabbed his cell phone and called Delirious and Lui.

"I don't mean to alarm you, but they have a chopper after us, would you kindly SHOOT IT DOWN BEFORE IT KILLS US ALL?!" Alex yelled, panicking a little.

They both hung up on him.

"Of course, what else was gonna happen?" Alex sighed, annoyed with the cutoff.

Alex resorted to firing grenades at the Syndicate cars, and accidentally blew up a few other cars in the process. And the one he was standing on was currently in flames.

He leaped off, and the minivan exploded a few meters away.

What's worse is that the Syndicate hit-men stopped in front of him, stepped out of their cars, and shot at him.

Alex retaliated by shooting grenades at the cars, blowing them up in a fireworks show of orange and blue, for he still had plenty of grenades from the SCAR.

The hit men still shot at him, and Alex was aware that his bulletproof vest's condition was worsening, and fast.

"Alex! Do you read? I repeat, Alex, do you copy, over!" a voice from his earpiece beckoned.

"Yeah! I'm in a bit of trouble! Syndicate hit men have me cornered!" Alex yelled, calling out to one of his comrades.

"I'm on my way, hang in there, kid!" the voice responded. Alex wasn't sure who it was he was communicating with, his earpiece was that damaged, he should probably have someone repair it.

But that was beside the point.

Alex kept shooting until he ran out of bullets, and when he went to reload, he found that there wasn't a single mag left.

In response, he threw it at his enemies, distracting them while pulling out .44 Scratch, killing as many as he could. As soon as he began reloading, a bullet pierced his left arm, the pain was excruciating.

"AAGH! DAMN IT!" He screamed in pain as he literally took his thumb and pointer finger and dug into his arm, pulling out the bullet and throwing it to the ground.

Alex grasped a Thompson that had been dropped near him and shot back with his right arm only as his left hung limp at his side.

It was around that moment when someone in a bright yellow motorcycle landed between him and his assailants, using an Uzi submachine gun in tandem with very powerful blasts from a gauntlet.

The rider holstered the Uzi and reached out to him, he recognized her immediately.

"Hi, Yang. Thanks for coming." He nodded as he got on the motorcycle.

"Zera told me to, she said I was closest to you. Where are Vanoss and the others?" She asked.

"They should be further up ahead." Alex responded, then he noticed something.

There was no way to ride this thing and not have it feel awkward.

Oh, who cares?

He grasped Electric Fury, converted it into it's rail gun mode, and had it pointed behind him in case Syndicate hit men were to attack from behind, all the while trying to hang on with only his legs.

'Don't think about it, don't think about it.' Alex repeated this mantra in his head, as he would have to throughout this next part of the mission.

Kat was still on the highway, and the view had changed from an urban landscape to a more lush and inviting view, and now it was more or less an arid desert.

Delirious knocked twice on the ceiling, demanding her attention.

"Drive up to this overpass and make a left!" Delirious said.

Kat did as Delirious instructed, only to find more desert. From what she knew, there was a small town just up ahead, as well as the prison.

"Vanoss and Lui are pulling into the airport, let's stop here." Delirious calmly said, relieved that most of the Hit-men were dead.

Kat pulled up next to Vanoss's Insurgent, put the large truck in park, and exited the car, Delirious had also gotten out of the car and was not far off.

"Hey, Kat. You ok?" Vanoss asked.

"Don't worry about it, what's the plan?" Kat asked.

"I just thought of something a while ago." Vanoss said.

"What?" Kat asked, curiosity getting the better of her.

"You know about the Humane Labs raid, right?" Lui asked her.

"Oh, yeah. Nogla told me about that."

"You know how we used an EMP to shut down all their stuff, right?" Delirious continued.

"Yeah, why?"

"We figured we should probably get ourselves one of those, put it in Alex's weird ass pocket thing." Vanoss said.

"Where are we going to get one?" Kat asked.

"Same place we got the last one, on a navy boat, from a jet." Lui answered.

"How would you even know where to find an EMP?"

"We asked Zera. She said there were about two that were somewhere on the map, the first option was the navy boat, and the other one is the one we used, which is in the FIB building, hidden in a vault." Vanoss responded.

"Well, I'd ask everyone if I were you." Kat recommended.

"We'll bring it up in the next meeting." Delirious shrugged.

"No need." A voice said behind them all.

Kat looked back, and saw Alex and Yang.

"Oh, hey man, where ya been? Secret mission?" Lui asked.

"No, I had to save Alex for, like, the second time already." Yang answered.

Kat noticed something kinda funny, Alex was blushing a little bit.

"You okay, Alex? You're looking a little red." Kat smirked.

Alex then muttered something about 'stupid puberty' and sat down on the hood of one of the Insurgents.

Kat looked over in that general direction, where a yellow motorcycle had been neatly parked next to the trucks, and suddenly everything made sense.

"Oooooh. I get it!" Kat couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

"Shut up." Alex sighed, embarrassed.

"Oh! I see what she's thinkin'!" Delirious could barely finish the sentence before laughing rather hard.

"Shut up, Delirious, I saw your 'GTA V Gay Adventures' video!" Vanoss taunted.

That sentence alone had thrown pretty much everyone into a laughing fit, except Delirious and Alex, for obvious reasons.

"Calm down, man! We're all friends here!" Yang comforted, still laughing.

"Ha ha. Not in the mood." Alex rolled his eyes.

"I have a plan." Vanoss said, tossing a C4 at Delirious's feet, and blew him about 10 meters up in the air.

"NOOOOO!" Delirious screamed at the top of his lungs.

Vanoss and Lui had started laughing again, not before another C4 had been thrown at Vanoss's feet and detonated.

Alex began laughing, holding a detonator in his right hand.

"NO! DELIRIOUS!!!" Vanoss immediately blamed.

"That was Alex!" Lui corrected, laughing.

"So what happened, anyway?" Kat asked.

"So I drove up to Alex, and picked him up."

"I had to sit behind her."

"I told him to hold on."

"When they say 'keep your hands north of the equator', they never clearly state how far north you go." Alex said, blushing again.

"He thought he went too far up and just froze." Yang continued.

"I fell off the motorcycle." Alex admitted.

"Oooooh! I thought he did something else!" Delirious realized.

"Why, what did you think- oh, wait, don't tell me." Yang stopped herself just in time.

"Dude! I'm fifteen!" Alex scolded.

"And that deserves a-" Vanoss said before shooting Delirious in the head with a marksman pistol.

"GOD DAMMIT VANOSS!!!!" Delirious yelled.

"So, we're clear, like, the plan?" Alex asked.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, everyone drive home, I'm walking." Alex said.

Yang grabbed him by the back of his shirt.

"Nah! You're coming with me, don't fall off this time, okay?" Yang teased.

"Don't remind me." Alex replied, annoyed.

Author's Notes:

Zip Zop Zoobity chapter.

The next chapter should be out soon.

And, yes, this is actually important to the story.

No, I'm too lazy to add a Romance tag, so unless I change my mind, this is as far as it's going.

Yes, I learned from my time in the fandom that there will be ships, even though I'm sure that this story won't gain enough publicity for fan art, but ships are bound to happen at some point.

Will I have cover art?
That remains to be seen, but I can't pay for it with actual money, why?

Reasons.
