The small group of lightly-armed buggies didn't last long under the combined assault. Every member of the group quickly laid into them, unleashing a barrage of attacks. The two surviving cars fled soon after, driving off into the distance. Franklin and Michael moved near the front of the convoy, stopping their bikes for a moment to watch as the two survivors drove off. Franklin lifted up the plasma pistol, watching as it cooled down from the charged shot. [color=39b54a]"Looks like it has an EMP effect. It totally shut down their car."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"I saw. That'll be helpful, if..."[/color] Michael paused, looking into the distance. [color=00aeef]"...shit, get ready. They brought backup."[/color]

As soon as the words left Michael's mouth, something flew over their heads, detonating over them with a blast of heat and fire. After shielding themselves from the heat, the two looked up to see enemy reinforcements heading their way. They were an odd group, but certainly more intimidating than the buggies from before- an armored ice cream truck, another buggy, and a giant monster truck. Their faces both went pale as the array of weapons on the enemy vehicles became clear. [color=00aeef]"Shit, we gotta move!"[/color]

The two revved up their engines, moving off in opposite directions- Michael heading left, and Franklin heading right. Fortunately, the initial barrage of gunfire wasn't aimed at either of them, and they were able to maneuver away in time. Michael, unable to do anything about the giant monster truck currently, decided to focus on the two surviving cars and the new buggy. He moved up near the two survivors, strafing them with his Uzi, attempting to take out either the drivers or the tires. From his side, he could hear Ratchet shouting to not kill the drivers of the buggy, saying that they were great heroes and would be helpful. [color=00aeef][i]Well, I won't say no to some more help...[/i][/color] Seeing Gene jump on the buggy in an attempt to disable it, Michael sped up behind it and began to fire at the back wheels, also trying to disable it.

Meanwhile, Franklin had sped off to the other side, already charging his plasma pistol. He decided to trail the ice cream truck from a distance, waiting for his plasma pistol to charge up. He wasn't sure what target needed to be disabled more- the monster truck or the ice cream truck, but he had to keep moving. While he rode, he saw Donnie come up beside the ice cream truck, and the kid with the weird hat try to push it over. Looking back, he saw the monster truck and Bowser locked in a battle, the monster truck firing its miniguns at him. As the plasma pistol's charge was full, he made his decision. While the ice cream truck was a big threat, he would have to trust the others to deal with it. The monster truck, on the other hand, might be able to overpower Bowser with its weaponry, something that he couldn't allow. Turning away from the ice cream truck, he drove towards where Bowser and the monster truck were fighting, coming up behind the massive vehicle. Lifting up the glowing plasma pistol, he released the trigger, unleashing a fully charged bolt towards the monster truck.
