Hikaru leaned forward gleefully, a tiny fist pounding eagerly on the dashboard. "Justice!" she cheered. "For mocking a young girl!"
"Just desserts!" Minako declared, ignoring the pod people that dove for safety to make way for the CTTfPPANDGB. The vehicle growled angrily, as the speedometer edged its way up... 70 kilometers per hour... 75... 80... then:
"FREE!" Jadeite exhalted, standing in the middle of the street, staring to the heavens thankfully. His arms raised in a beautifically benevolent and pleased gesture, and he had just enough time to look down.
----
His gaze was rewarded with the gleaming expanse of hood and grill from the engine bearing down on him, spattered and grimy with blood, but seeming less messy, and more like a proud savage wearing its war paint with pride. The headlights flickered menacingly as the engine growled louder, suddenly offset by a blearing horn and the most frightening image of all.
Minako... was... angry.
Jadeite could see the metal surface of the steering wheel dimple beneath the girl's grip, saw the smoke emerging from the muffled of the savage vehicle, and taste his own fear rising in his throat. "Mommy," he whimpered.
----
Time slowed down. The needle crept upwards, like the cat was some hunting beast, making the final ferocious lunge at prey that had waited too long to flee. Jadeite's lips moved with ridiculous slowness, and his pupils dialated. Michiru was positive she could see the whites of his eyes, even from the back seat.
He began to twist, as though to turn and run... but it was far too late to escape, now. With a satisfying *splutch* the general folded neatly across the hood, eyes widening impossibly.
Time resumed its normal speed, just as Jadeite got tugged beneath the car, it bounced slightly, and Minako began to laugh gleefully. "That's what you get!" she yelled out the window.
"Let me guess," Michiru groaned. "Carmageddon again?"
"Vice City," Minako answered, grinning.
Michiru glanced behind her, ready to see Jadeite's ruined form. And ruined it was, though not yet dead. Broken, bleeding, and bruised, he was not yet dead, and had the strength....
"He stole the license plates?" she asked incredulously.
Minako turned to look in the rearview mirror, and smacked the dashboard angrily. "Bastard!" she yelled. Before she could wheel the car around again, however, the glove compartment popped open, several rolled up pieces of paper bouncing into Hikaru's lap.
Hikaru picked the papers up and eyed them interestedly. "Either of you know a Setsuna?" she asked curiously.
"Ooh! Let me have that!" Haruka called, wanting some control over the situation. Hikaru obligingly handed the sheet over. "Yeah, she owned the car. Kind of. Let's see... Last Will and Testament. I.... sound mind body... yadda yadda yadda... anime collection goes to Hotaru... eh... car goes to Minako." She blinked, frowning, then shook her head and continued. "Well, there's... oh, here we go. 'In the event that I die/am vanished forever, here are instructions on how to proceed.... Chapter One: If I Am Turned Into Some Sex-Crazed Half-Human/Half-Animal. Appendicies: I. (with no self control) II. (enslaved to specific male(consult Appendices CL through CC for correct listings)) III. (and decide to start having sex with you for no readily apparent reason... yes, I mean you, Haruka.)'..." Haruka blinked a second time. "Riiiight.... Ah, here we go. If I Am Cloned By Some Pod-Person And You Are Forced To Kill Said Clone: see chapter 6, section 7, part 7, annex 5, page 5."
"Why? AAAUGH!" *SCREEEEECH.* "Nevermind."
