Captain Possible and The Centurion Legacy

Joss Possible put the skyscooter into a steep dive as she neared the edge of the Grand Canyon, and was showered with bits of rock as an explosion broke away rubble behind them. Streaks of blue energy whipped by as she banked the cycle left and right and continued on a vertical descent. "He's gaining!" Wade shouted into his battle suit's comm.

Wade's arms were wrapped tightly around Joss's waist, and would probably have been far too tight if not for her own battlesuit. They had thought that they had gotten lucky in managing to find a stockpile of information in a base's computer system. It wasn't long after transferring it all to a data disk that Erik had shown up. Now, with the skyscooter running on a low fuel alarm and the synthomech bearing down on them, Joss and Wade had managed to turn a simple reconnaissance mission into a run for their lives. "We're not going to outrun him on this thing!" she shouted back.

"Shouldn't you be pulling up now?!" Wade asked as the floor of the canyon continued to get closer.

"Just let me drive!" Joss stood, pulling back on the controls of the skyscooter. Wade's screams of panic could be heard through his comm and he clenched his hands around Joss's thighs, pressing his visor against her backside. The skyscooters stabilizers extended out to either side, throwing a cloud of dust up as they strained to keep the cycle from crashing. "Baby..." Joss smirked, sitting back down on the seat. The stabilizers rotated back to full flight mode and the skyscooter rocketed ahead again.

Her visor was picking up a lot of metal on the canyon floor and Joss wove in and around destroyed military tanks and pieces of Diablos that had found their way down the cliff sides. Erik was continuing to fire bursts of energy at them, causing the metal husks and rocky outcroppings around them to explode. "Have we come up with a plan yet?" Wade asked, turning to look behind them.

"Hold on!" Joss gunned the afterburners, the fuel warning blazing brightly in her field of view. Her rear view scanner was showing Erik accelerating as well and she neared a tall rocky pillar. She banked to the side and leaned, the skyscooter drifting sideways before curving around it. There was a thunderous crash as Erik struck the rock and Joss heaved back on the controls, climbing the quickly approaching face of the canyon wall. Erik's impact shattered the pillar of jagged rock, and he fired both of his arm cannons as he exited the other side and the rest of the pillar collapsed on top of him.

Wade turned away from the resulting blast that struck the skyscooter's stabilizer. "We're hit!" he shouted. The skyscooter sank into a barrel roll as the pair cleared the edge of the cliff.

"Better grab onto something, Wade!" she ordered and Wade's armored gloves clasped onto her breast plate. "Hey!"

The skyscooter circled for a moment, one stabilizer still pushing it forward until the engine finally failed. Joss did her best to steer the jet bike toward a clearing surrounded by rocky terrain and the skyscooter skimmed across the formation, pitching its riders forward before coming to a destructive end in a ball of flaming scrap. Joss hit the ground on her chest, sliding several feet to a stop in an impressive gouge in the hard packed sand before her battlesuit vanished in a low pitched hum of energy. Wade was pitched over head and struck the rocky wall upside down with a bone crunching thud before falling to the ground beside Joss.

"Erik?!" Drakken asked into the air of his throne room. "Erik!" He turned to the young man that had come to deliver a report on the Icarus phase of his Project New Order, complete with orbital estimates and spatial mapping, and dismissed him with an absent wave of his gloved hand. "Hephaestus! Locate Erik!" he commanded.

The deep whispering voice of the artificial intelligence filled the throne room. "Erik has been incapacitated, Lord Drakken. Estimate four hours for full regeneration."
