On the war path

[Jav]

The three had quickly left the busy streets of Station square behind with no shortage of fancy driving techniques from Jav. They were now cruising the open highway at 110mph on their way to the north.

"where're we goin in such a hurry man?" Danny wheezed out through terrified breaths. This driving was wild...even for James. "Never lake lil' man!" James responded quickly as he dodged around a big rig.
"woooooo yea...forgot how GEWD that felt...YEEEEHHAAWW" James cheered as he once again mashed the gas pedal to the floor packin the speed back on. Many would call this kind of driving wreckless but James knew his limits and was completely in control.

"....so...was this just a passing fancy to go to the lake or is there some reason we need to be there?" Carrie asked her claws dug solidly into her seat.

"ohhhhhohoho there's a reason all right...trust me on that" James responded with a fair bit of emphasis on the 'trust me on that'.

[Nail Strafer]

Meanwhile, Nail was driving down the highway at a much more sedate pace in his Jeep Wrangler. The cruise control was engaged at a nice and steady 72 MPH.

In the backseat behind him sat his trusty Arctic Warfare Police sniper rifle, in addition to his equally trusty USP .45, a kevlar vest, and plenty of ammo to go around. He still thought the person who wrote it was joking about this "saving the world" business, so he felt no need to hurry.

But it was indeed good money, hence why he was here.

[Jav]

The Javelin engine howled and it's tires screamed as it thundered along at a constant speed between 105 and 110.

"anything in specific we're goin after?" Carrie asked from the back seat.

"not..a..clue" Jav responded.

The two racoons shot Jav an odd look.

"HANG ON LIL DUDES!" he yelled slamming on his brakes.

The Jav's tires screamed as they slid down the highway. "YEEEEEEEHAWWWW" He howled has he reapplied the gas to the floor and turned onto an offramp that lead to a massive bridge that stretched across a vast body of water all the way to the horizon. They zoomed by a green sign plastered across the front of the bridge: "Check fuel long bridge. Radical city 155 Mi. Never Lake 25 Mi. Use caution bridge is subject to unexpected dense fog".

The four had left ten or so hours ago, the sun was now high overhead. Jav had serious eyes focused on the horizon ahead as he sat on the bow of the boat as it crashed into wave after wave spraying his legs, that dangled off the front of the boat, with seawater. Danny sat to his side mimicing his idol's tense gaze on the horizon but for entirely different reasons. Carrie chose to stay in the pilot house with her father, she didn't seem to take to the sea as James and Danny did.

"This is gonna be intense....ya know that...right James?" Danny asked over the flapping of the massive canvas sails and the roar of the sea as the vessel charged ahead at a steady ten or eleven knots. "yeah...I'm aware of what's probably gonna happen." James responded knowingly. He'd encountered these folks before, he knew what they were willing to do to win the game. "do ya think ya can win?" Danny asked. "If you mean humiliate F4 infront of the whole planet for my time and trouble..then yes..I fully intend to" James said with a smile.
"Tell captain Crunch back there that we're almost there. About another hour and we'll be within visual range of the ship" James said gestering a handheld GPS he had sat next to him. "Hey Skip..Jav says we're almost there" Danny yelled back to the pilothouse. "ARRRRR WE'LL BE WREAKIN SOME HAVOC IN NO TIME ME MATIES HAR HARRRRR" Jordan responded with his newfound pirate impersonation.

James turned around "alright captain furrybeard..ya get too festive and I'll put the boy in charge" he said patting Danny on the head. Jordan gave James an odd look as the rest of the boat's crew laughed merrily. The vessel charged onward towards it's destination.
