[b]The hatch slammed shut behind him, the gun swiveling down and anchoring into a spot where someone with the willpower to climb the tank, could not fire it.[/b]
[b]The crowd seemed to shuffle outside as Damien slowly moved the vehicle forward, one hand on the wheel, one hand on the stick, slowly pushing up...[/b]
[i]"Can't tell through the gas... But..."[/i]
[b]Then gunfire, bullets rattling against the vehicle as the crowds suddenly became panicked and hostile... Tear gas or not... Damien was going to start pushing forward.[/b]
[b]He began to move faster, the thuds and bangs against the hull coming steadily...[/b]
[i]"I am going to supercharge the batteries and send the shock through the magnetic core of the tank... Essentially a taser wave... But... I've got one shot... Better hold on to something, this may rock the vehicle..."[/i]

[i]Wolfe braced himself against a handrail in the turret.[/i] Go for it. [i]He said, hoping that everyone else had made a move to grab something sturdy nearby.[/i]

[b]A monstrous rumble shook the tank and jerked everyone inside as the sound of electricity ran through the underside of the vehicle as screams erupted outside.[/b] [b]Then in one more motion, the tank revved up and Damien punched the gas, accelerating as fast as he could.[/b]

[i]Wolfe held fast, getting jarred a bit, but being generally ok. Hearing the vehicle speed up, he relaxed slightly as they were hopefully exiting the crowd.[/i]

[i]"Clear!"[/i] [b]Damien shouted back, a sigh crossing the compartment as the tank began to speed up. They were in the clear for now...[/b]

[i]Wolfe remained in the turret, hoping that they were out of the mess for now.[/i]

[b]Some minutes of silence passed before the tank came to a halt, Damien sliding the back door open, his escape from the driving seat silent.[/b] [i]"We're here... Let's get the wounded inside."[/i] [b]He motioned slightly to the large hospital, people already running to help transport the people.[/b]
-
[i]Wolfe slid down from the turret, landing softly on the floor of the vehicle, and waiting for the doctors and medics to escort everyone out of the vehicle.[/i]
-
[b]Didn't take long for the medical staff to move everyone safely to the right places... Damien however, had long since returned to the driver's seat, merely watching them as they transported those on cots to the emergency building.[/b] [i]"Another cold day in hell..."[/i] [b]He mumbled to himself, watching the small girl with black hair disappear through the doors... Yet another... More people to come and go with an oddity about them.[/b] [b]He sighed as he looked towards the lower area where the riots were still taking place. The unrest wouldn't be down for awhile at this rate, but he could always take the long way home...[/b] [i]"Hey, Snipes, you need a ride? I think they are good. You've done your part."[/i]
