Thundercloud responded to the attack, which seemed to wake him up and get him excited. As he barked orders to his underling, Sarah’s avatar peeked around the desk to watch and listen. [i][color=ec008c]’The truck! That must be the getaway vehicle. If I can stop that, Thundercloud’s plans are toast.’[/color][/i]

She identified the truck as the underling approached it. She crawled out further and began to focus, hoping to make it hers. But her heart stopped as she realized that the big man had also caught a glimpse of her. The two locked eyes for an instant as Thundercloud started charging and firing off his electric blasts. A large one sped towards Nobody, threatening to overwhelm and destroy her.

A [b][color=ec008c]“No!”[/color][/b] rang out in a scared, girlish voice from the vicinity of the mannequin. Just before she was destroyed, a barrier of light went up and protected her. On impact the shield crackled and eventually shattered in a small explosion.

[b][color=ec008c]“Thank… you…”[/color][/b] the puppet said in shock. But she came back to and started focusing again. She had been given enough time to work, and she wasn’t going to waste it. The mannequin fell limp on the ground. 

Across the lobby, a thug had just started the truck and was mashing the gas, but to no avail. [b]“Damn thing doesn’t wanna work.”[/b] The thug leaned out the door and said [b]“Hey boss the truck is acting weird.”[/b] Just then, the vehicle lurched, knocking him from inside. The door seemed to close on its own. It locked itself and the truck went into reverse, jerking backwards and accelerating unexpectedly. [i]THUMP. THUMP. [/i] Two of the thugs had just been hit and rolled over by the huge machine.

The truck came to a stop, and Sarah threw her new toy into drive. It started moving again, this time back towards the others and the front exit. She hoped she would be able to hit Thundercloud on the way out, but even if she was only able to get the car out of the building, it would ruin the villain’s plan. 

The truck squealed as it gained speed, it’s headlights blaring towards its target: the big man in the grey suit. Sarah thought it was a good move. If he destroyed the truck with a lightning burst, it would have a good chance of destroying the money as well. If he didn’t evade well enough, he might be at the mercy of her fellow heroes. [i][color=ec008c]‘ “Fellow heroes”, huh?[/color][/i] Sarah liked the sound of that. She might have smiled, if she had a mouth.
