Lady Lisa vs The Mole
Part 03 (The City Of London) - The chase is on-
Another BIG thankyou to Gary Pranzo and GTS Zone Studios for the use of vidcaps from Beginning Of The End-
Chapter 01 (The Pursuit Begins)
The Phantom Knight skillfully banked the airship around and flew off toward the stadium car park, the lovely Michelle forced along for the ride. As Alex expected, there was a single car exiting the car park at a fast pace-
"I see him!" Alex called through his microphone as he accelerated the silver airship to a speed where it could keep pace with the fleeing car. "Wait a moment- this thing isn't as nimble as my T-65- He's heading into the city."
"Stay with him!" The lovely Lisa turned to follow the tiny balloon floating before her. "I'm coming!" She barely noticed Liz Hurley's voice calling out of its speakers. What was she going on about? Sean Connery won't come out of the toilets-?
Alex could barely keep pace with the silver motorcar as it raced through the empty streets of London. Perhaps- He tried to concentrate on the car below-
"Heh, heh, heh-" laughed the unseen figure driving the car. "Your mind powers will not work on me, boy." And he accelerated away still faster.
"Oh! Goodness!" cried several hundred feet of blonde fury as she carefully tried to navigate London's narrow streets. "Why do they have to build these roads so narrow? I can hardly put my feet down- Oh, that poor car- I bet Kylia doesn't have this problem. There's so much more room in the States."
Lisa was incredibly angry with 'that Mole Man,' but she had no wish to wreck London finding him - something which would be only too easy for her to do if she wasn't very careful. Fortunately the streets were still deserted, and she was able to make her way cautiously forward - flattening only the occasional empty car or bus with her immense feet.
But the going was painfully slow as Lisa watched her every step with care - one eye on the airship and one on the ground before her. She made better time when she found some train tracks leading down toward Willsden Junction, and almost caught her quarry when he disappeared into the narrow streets of Kensington & Chelsea.
"Ah!" Lisa cried when she saw the wide open spaces of a park before her. "That's more like it!"
Chapter 02 (At The Park)
boom-
"It this allowed?" asked Bob.
"Is wot allowed?" answered Bob, his superior.
Boom-
"Er- taking Nellie 'ere for walks-" offered the first Bob. "Outside the zoo."
"Oh, yer-" the second replied. "Very important to elephants is yer walks-"
Boom-
"Don't she, like, get a bit worried?" The first Bob ventured. "You know. Strange places. That sort of fing-?"
"Listen mate," Bob looked at his junior with a patient but pained expression. " Nelly 'ere is your gen-u-ine African Elephant - the biggest land animal in the world. And he ain't scared o'nuffin, see, 'ceptin anuvver elephant wiv bigger tusks. An' the zoo's only just across the park, anyway. Right?"
Boom-
"Right Bob," Bob considered himself told, but couldn't stop himself asking what he hoped wasn't another stupid question. "Only if Nellie 'ere ain't scared, why's she, sorry he, just run off down that 'ill?"
Bob (Senior in case you've lost track at this point-) looked behind him at the rapidly retreating elephant. "Wot the-#$!% ?"
Boom-
Both Bobs were thrown violently into the air as a plane, meteor or maybe even the Moon thundered into the earth about twenty feet away.
They hit the ground again with a bump, and as quickly as they could got to their feet to look at the pink skyscraper that had suddenly embedded itself in the middle of Regent's Park. "What the #$!% ?" Bob Senior repeated, colourfully.
Then their gazes slowly travelled up the huge structure until they met the huge pretty face that beamed down at them.
"Oops! Sorry." The face looked embarrassed. "Didn't see you little guys down there until the last moment. "Will your little elephant be all right?"
"Arrgghhhh!" Both Bobs cried simultaneously, turned, and ran for their very lives.
"Well, really!" Lisa huffed. "How rude!"
Lisa felt guilty about leaving the poor elephant stampeding through the park, so despite her hurry she took a moment to find it by the boating lake and pick it up gently between her thumb and forefinger. Lifting it up into the sky, she used her other hand to shield the frightened creature's eyes as she carried it back a few steps to London Zoo. There, she reached down and deposited it in an enclosure.
Moments later, Lisa was taking strides that were measured in fractions of a mile southeast toward the Thames. 'Damn!' she thought. 'He's getting further away.'
When the Bobs finally stopped running they stopped and turned around to view the scene before them. There were several huge footprint-shaped depressions in the earth around the park. One, near the zoo, was rapidly filling with water from a burst pipe.
"Well, there's one good fing come out o' all this," the younger Bob stared blankly.
The older Bob gave him one of those 'you're gonna get a fick ear in a minute' expressions he reserved for when the younger Bob said something particularly stupid.
"At least we've got that new pool for the penguins now-" Bob Junior said looking at the rapidly flooding ditch.
Bob Senior gave him the thick ear he thought Bob Junior so richly deserved.
Chapter 03 (A Little Self-Indulgence)
Looking ahead, Lisa could still see the tiny airship some way in front of her, but it was slowing down. 'Something must be delaying the Mole's escape,' she thought. 'The river! He must be trying to find a place to cross the Thames!'
"Hah!" Lisa cried with joy. "Now I've got you!"
But as Lisa made her way to the riverbank, she saw Alex pilot the blimp across it. 'Damn!' she thought. 'He's across!'
Lisa arrived at the bank of the Thames beside Westminster Bridge and the Houses Of Parliament. She was just about to cross the river, when out of the corner of her eye she saw two Jaguars parked in the House Of Commons car park. She knew she shouldn't, but couldn't stop herself-
She reached out with her left foot toward the two cars and slowly pressed it down upon them. The cars were dwarfed by the size of Lisa's foot, hidden completely from view. First the roofs caved in, glass from the windows shattering suddenly. The tyres compressed and burst as the car bonnets bent and buckled. Finally the cars were no more than tinfoil below the unimaginable weight of Lisa's foot.
"Hah!" Lisa laughed. "Now you can suffer public transport like the rest of us!"
(A little bit of politics there, ladies & gentlemen! If you're not familiar with British politics you won't get the joke, but don't worry- it wasn't funny)
Not wanting to lose any more time, Lisa stepped off the embankment into the Thames. Seeing Alex turn the airship south, she turned and waded upstream and stepped over Lambeth Bridge before crossing to the south bank.
Chapter 04 (Crash!)
"Lisa's never going to catch this guy all the time she's held up in the city," Alex Starfighter called back to the amazonian Michelle Norkett who sat behind him, hanging on for dear life to the back of his seat. "Damn, he's fast! We've got to stop him before Lisa accidentally does some real damage-"
"You're kidding!" called Michelle. "We can't do anything."
"We have to!" Alex was determined. "If Lisa trips over, she could wipe out a whole neighbourhood. Anyway, I have an idea!"
"Oh, no-" Michelle was heard to moan.
The Phantom Knight waited for his moment. While the Mole's car had to swerve round several corners, Alex flew straight over any obstructions before losing height to settle down in front of him.
The Mole was pretty shocked when he turned a corner to find an airship blocking the end of the road. There didn't appear to be any side turnings and going back was unthinkable. There was no telling what Lisa might do to him. He could only go on-
"Climb! Climb!" called Michelle as the car hurtled toward them.
But instead, Alex accelerated the airship forwards, the sides of the airbag dangerously close to the walls of the surrounding buildings. At one point Alex thought he felt a bump and it made him very nervous. What was he thinking? There was no way he could do this! He was just about to pull up and let the car pass below when a familiar voice passed through his mind as if in a dream. It spoke with in a most reassuring tone of voice, completely calm.
"Use the Force, Alex," it said. "Let go-"
With renewed resolve, Alex closed his eyes and pushed the airship onwards, relying on the mystical Force to guide him. Moments later he was thrown forward into his seatbelt from the force of the collision.
Fear of Lisa stopped the Mole from backing off from the inevitable collision and his car crashed into the control section of the airship at an angle, bounced off it, went up the pavement and finally rammed into a building. The bonnet absorbed most of the impact, but the engine was ruined.
The airship fared little better. Its control section was wrecked down the left hand side, fortunately doing no damage to its two passengers. It wouldn't fly again, but it had done its job. It had stopped the Mole. Lisa would catch him now.
Chapter 05 ("Now, I've Got You!")
Slightly stunned, the Mole climbed out of his car-
boom-
Boom-
Oh Lord! That could only be Lisa. Where could he run to? Where could he possibly be safe? Then it came to him! A good mole will always try to seek shelter underground in time of danger- the London Underground. He'd just passed The Oval cricket ground and its underground station!
Boom-
Boom-
He turned back toward the station and stopped dead. Now out of the car, the Mole saw the enormous Lisa for the first time. "My God!" he cried aloud. "I- I don't believe it!"
Lisa towered over the houses. She towered over the offices. She towered over the very skyscrapers themselves. She towered over everything! He'd never seen anything so big in all his life.
It took every ounce of his courage but the Mole actually turned and ran toward the enormous booming footsteps- Toward what he hoped was sanctuary-
There it was! Oval Underground Station! 'What a lovely, lovely building!' the Mole thought to himself as he ran the last hundred yards.
Boom-
The Mole stopped just short of the station and looked up, paralysed from the waist down with fear. 'No- NO! She couldn't be-' If Lisa had looked big before, now she looked- words failed him.
Lisa stood behind the station, looking down at him. A huge triumphant grin spread across her face as she saw he quarry far, far below her. She couldn't make out much. The little rat was far too small to make out properly. 'Well, that's him,' Lisa thought to herself. 'That's the little rodent that's caused all this trouble. Well, no more-'
The Mole still couldn't move. His mind just couldn't cope with what he saw above him. She just couldn't be that big. Whatever persuaded him to challenge her in the first place? Why had he done it?
Then Lisa began to reach down for him. "Oh, you're going to regret this," she called down to him. The Mole's knees began to buckle. Sheer terror swept through him.
But then some deep-rooted survival instinct kicked-in and he began to run. He ran like a man possessed, faster than he'd ever run before. Somehow he passed beneath Lisa's fingers and entered the Underground station.
But he didn't stop there. The Mole leapt over the unmanned barrier and ran down to the safety of the platform area.
But there were no trains running. Everything had stopped in honour of the fight- his fight. He almost laughed. The one he'd been so sure he'd win. Why hadn't anyone told him that Lisa could increase her size.
The Mole sat down and held his head in his hands. "What shall I do now?" he asked himself.
