Oh, come on, lighten up a little.
You look like we're gonna kill you and hide your body.
You're kidnapping me.
That's just as bad.
No, we're not. Think of it as...
temporarily borrowing your body for research.
Um, wait, hang on a second. That sounds worse.
Look, we're not going to hurt you, okay?
We just wanna find out what makes you tick.
Is that supposed to make me feel better?
How about we open up and drill into your arm
and see how YOU like it.
You don't think I've suffered to get to where I am now?
Let me put it this way.
An arm is the LEAST painful thing
for a Meta Runner to give up!
You don't know how many friends I've seen that have
given EVERYTHING for this.
But that was under your own will.
You agreed to do all of that.
People have been pulling me around
since the moment I got to this city.
Ugh, save me the guilt trip.
Listen. You can't remember anything, right?
Live in this world for a couple of days,
and you'll be crawling back on our doorstep -
begging to be a part of TAS Corp.
I find that really hard to believe.
What else are you going to do, babe?
In this society, video games are all that matter.
And if you don't win, you don't matter.
Yo, Frank!
I fell off my motorbike yesterday.
Almost broke 3 bones.
I got a personal best of 33:18
at Dragon Kart just this morning.
You see? So just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Lucks is gonna do his thing,
you'll get a fat stack of TAS-coin,
and you'll be free to go.
Everybody wins!
What about Theo?
What happens to him?
That kid... is a completely different story.
I have no idea what Lucks has planned for him.
He doesn't deserve any of this.
He's just a child!
Oh, don't be so melodramatic--
Hey! Tari!
What? *Cough* Theo?!
BELLE! Is the girl alright?
Y-you!
Quick, Tari! Get in the car!
Son of a--!
Get in, Belle! You're driving!
What about the whole "being in public" thing?
Tinted windows.
Get. In.
Alright, alright. Chill out, man.
Uhh, Lucks? Where's the controller?
I ain't using this analog crap.
Oh, right.
Theo, are you okay?
What's going on?
Who are you?
Damn, that's an interestin' way to
say thank you to someone who
just saved your ass.
This is Lamar!
He's here to help us!
Is... is that a body pillow in the back?
Huh? Yeah, that's Nova-chan.
Don't worry, she's chill.
I like her!
Do me a favor and put that hoodie on by your feet.
What? Why?
We saw you back in the arena.
Big boss Lucks put a tracking chip in your arm.
He likes to keep tabs of his... "opportunities".
The material on your jumper should block the signal.
Oh! Theo, that's how they found we were in that streaming pod!
Can we go back there later?
I think my fans miss me...
Take that vehicle out, but be sure to use the electro mags.
We need them alive.
Ew. Where do you find these people, Lucks?
Do NOT lose them, Belle.
C'mon now, Lucks. Look who you're talking to.
A RIFLE? They have a RIFLE?
Calm down, girl. I got this.
Oh god, that was so close.
Crackajack! That was awesome!
Hey! Seatbelt!
yes sir...
Oh, this is gonna be fun...
Uh Lucks? The cops?
Chief of Police. This is Lucks.
Yes, that's us.
Call your officers off.
We're handling the situation.
Hold on, guys!
Ah man, I just had those done!
Okay. NOW I'm pissed.
We are OWNING this baby!
Watch out!
Woops.
We're oming up on 27th and 3rd now.
Put up the barrier.
That was awesome!
You alright baby?
Yeah, uh. I, uh. I think I'm fine.
Oh uh. Not you. I was talkin' to Nova-chan.
Oh.
Hey, guys. The road disappeared.
Oh hell no. This ain't good.
I don't see a way around.
Should we stop the car?
Crap. Looks like I'm gonna have to.
I'm sorry guys. I screwed up big time.
Hey! What are you doing?
What the hell?
Theo! Through that lid at
that billboard up there!
Throwing? Oh, I'm good at that!
What? Tari?
What... the... f--
BELLE, LOOK OUT!
Oh, yo! That was sick!
Yeah! Tari!
We alive! Gimme a hi-5 for bein' alive little man!
DAMN. I knew I was right about you.
Where'd you learn that?
Tari's a super genius!
Well, you're driving on the wrong side of the road now,
super genius, can I have the controller back?
Oh, shoot! Yeah, here you go.
Haha, man. You two alright.
Where are we going now?
To a place where you'll be safe
from that corporate scrub.
Ooh, the cow level?
Uh, sure.
GOD. DAMN IT!
Where the hell did she learn to do that?!
I don't understand!
Change of plan.
WHAT?
I no longer just want her abilities for TAS Corp.
I want... her.
Lucks... you are so creepy right now.
Ooh, dinner? I'm starving.
I don't think we're here for food, Theo...
Lamar. Why did you take us to a ramen restaurant?
Lamar?
Masa my man!
They're here!
Hiya!
Oh my gosh! You're here!
You're finally here!
I'm so glad to see the three of you in one piece.
Great driving work, Lamar!
And Tari! You need to tell me
all about those abilities of yours.
What I witnessed earlier absolutely blew my mind.
