Wall of Gambino More a great big pile of bricks than a wall, this is the one section of Gambino's Tower that was never cleaned up after it's collapse several years ago. Now a monument to human arrogance, the wall has been left to its own device, which consist mainly of blocking the way for those travelling the road. In recent months, the Zurg Gate has been set up near the Wall, a large metallic hoop that supposedly allows instantaneous interplanetary travel. No one really knows how to work it, unfortunately...

Anji scarcely glanced up at the wall as he moved past its bulk, still heading west. It was strange, but he was starting to feel very happy and upbeat again. He would do it...

The Ferrari moved across the road passing through the wall. He took a glance to Gambino Wall as they passed it, sighing and shaking his head at the sight. As he drove the car at a leisurely pace across the dirt road, however, he caught something out of the corner of his eye. Turning to face it, he saw a large metallic hoop set in the ground just a few yards from the wall. The Zurg Gate, he thought as he marveled in it's beauty, still driving on...then he remembered the control...
Bringing the Ferrari to an abrupt stop, he stepped out of the car and faced the Gate. He looked to Aiolos and shouted out. "Aiolos! Wake up 'nd toss me that controller we got!"

Aiolos woke up again to see the giant metal hoop. Wow. Looks cool. He was still tired as he got out to take a closer look. When Adam told him to give him the remote. He hugged the button and pressed it himself. It was his button. His button is his.
"So why did we come here?"

The great stone circle began to spin, and a blue surface materialized in its center: it looked almost like a rippling pond put up on its side. A single marble flew out the center, before the surface disentigrated. The remote would not work again. Quote: StonewallColor: Dark Blue Get +5 Defense. The Defense bonus goes away when you take this off, so if you only have 5 Defense left, I'd advise leaving it on.

The Audi's engine whined at it raced toward the wall, the already tortured breaks causing the wheels to nearly lock in position as the car rockets forward.

Adam caught the marble in the air as it shot out of the center of the gate. He looked down at it and smiled. "Sweet, we've got a stonewall..." feeling the urge to place it in his own mark, he sighed as he did a calculation in his head. Sure, the marble made him feel better, but no guarantee he'd survive. With the marble in Aiolos' possession, however, it seemed obvious that he'd be able to put up a wicker basket and protect both himself and Adam....He tossed the marble over to Aiolos before hoping back into the Ferarri. "Make good use 'a that, bud."

The wheel tilted slightly to the right then the left. The audi's nose following the deviant path outside and then right back into its collision course with the battered Ferrari. ******** safety and ******** the Italians. Iten aimed the front of his vehicle to smash into the passenger side of the sports car. Hard steel would meet frail fiberglass at well over the 60MPH safety limit on the material. The Audi was already a close match for the Ferrari but unlike the Ferrari it wouldn't fold like a card table under impact. Well, at these speeds it certainly could, but that was inconsequential next to the thought of what would happen to the Ferrari. 1-60 in three seconds. 1-100 in two. It didn't matter. The Audi was kicking up flames and its driver was single-mindedly piloting it toward a gruesome goal. He'd learned to drive quite well during his years. Could do so calmly in a hail of gunfire. This was childs play.
Paybacks a b***h.

Aiolos stared at the marble for a moment, then at his button.
Marble again. Button again.
He shoved the damn marble in his forehead. And he felt better. Lots better, all the strength was coming back to him, he was ready to kick a**.

As Adam drove the car calmly across the field, he turned his head to look out the window....and saw the same Audie they had almost destroyed yesterday headed for a collision course for them. That was the last draw.
Slamming down hard on the gas, he held down the E-brake as the tires spun. Using all of his strength, he quickly grabbed at one of Aiolos' knifes and his roll of duct tape, then reached down and grabbed at one of his grenades, quickly, he rolled the tape around the grenade and knife together ten times, and tossed it right for the knocked out windshield of the battered Audie. He then reached down and pulled up the e-brake, allowing the tires loose as he sped off and away from the Audie.
((evens, gets away. Odds, Audie clips the back of the Ferrari, knocking it out of control.))
((edit))
As the Ferrari sped off out of the path of the Audie, it was too late. The audie sped into the back of the Ferrari, knocking it off of it's path. Cursing himself in his mind, Adam jumped up and out of the car, considering he was better off bruised than dead.

((alright, let Aiolos' post his move. Just as a suggestion, though, I suggest you do the same with my grenade as I did with getting hit by the Audie. Except evens, it doesn't hit in the windshield, odds, it lands inside the car.))

"Hey!" Aiolos yelled as Adam took one of his knives from his wristband. "What are you-"
Another grenade. Another knife. Another piece of duct tape. Hey, that was his idea! When Adam hurled the knife, Aiolos was confused, but he took his conductor's whistle and shot it straight with a staccato anyway, no time for adjustments apparently.
"What's trying to-" SQUEEEEEEEAK!!! Squealed the Ferrari as it got clipped by another car. Aiolos looked back. It was that Audi! Broken windshield and all. ********, that thing exploded, didn't it? The Ferrari spun out of control, and Aiolos bailed out of the car. He rolled out, got up, and ran, towards the wall. If all else failed, he could get out of the way of the car and let the wall do the rest. He did take out his C flute, he wanted this car to DIE.

Tokai slumped forward gorgaly, all he could remember was fire, shrapnel and staring death in the face. He was scorched and bleeding, but still alive some how. He knew his body couldn't take much more. The thing that woke him up was the knife now sticking in his ******** this thing had a grenade attached to it...reacting quickly to the danger sitting in between his legs he grab it with his right hand and threw it still duct taped to the knife out the left window closes to him. Having just averted certain death a second time he looked around taking stock of his new situation.
