Underground Network Plains, 15:35
A car, one that might not think designed for offroad cruising suddenly blazes through an underground tunnel. It speeds at around 90 mph, a very concerning speed for something that out of place and in place that small. But even so, the driver inside has skillfully managed to dodge all sort of curves and obstacles (although honestly, whoever is inside probably will be screaming for their life as this is, by no means, a safe way to drive).
"Look at the rear view mirror for me," Yuuki told Hikaru. "Approximate distance between us and that damn thing?"
"Object in the mirror are closer than they appears." the king glanced at his side of the mirror, pretty much reading the words there.
"Haha, funny, I'm not asking for that though. Try again."
"Uhhh, about fifteen meters I guess if judging from the mirror."
"Hmn, I guess we really should lose it in some way."
"Don't this car have any weapons...?"
"They said a weapon for the king's car is unthinkable, so they didn't put any."
"Oh homeostasis damn it."
"You sounded quite calm though... have you made peace with my action?" Yuuki asked as he once again drifted the car to a new curve.
"More like I'm fucked anyway. You see, I'm in a speeding car, at 144 km/h... this abandoned railway tunnel, you see.... It feels like I'm within inch of my death... like, if you accidentally slipped or something... but if we go any slower that..." he pointed with his paw, as sarcastically calm as he could... "Will immediately go at us, you know... car and all."
A hissing sound echoes around the place, obviously coming from the shit behind them.
"Well aren't you glad that I'm a speed demon?"
"You can say it again."
Unfortunately for the reader and participant of this thread, the "culprit" of this chase will still be blurred. However, they should take solace in the fact that... this fricked up thing is still not yet described, considering you know, ExD. They must have been friced up to hell and back. Anyway, what happened so that these two ended up in this situation? It might be better to rewind the time, a little bit before this...
"...So you're saying, a cave in lately happened?" Yuuki asked a miner in network plains. Said miner is a Golemon, who currently tending to several of his subordinates, like Gottsumon and Junkmon.
"Indeed, you might heard that before the network plains got damaged in a huge battle years ago and all that, right? But... it's not all bad considering well.... we found some mother lode of all kind of metals. We figured out that it might be nice to mine it, but..."
"Freak incident, is it?"
"Yeah... the miners reported some gas buildups, and sometimes some freak cave-ins... even though we swore that we have reinforced the tunnels... It's as if..."
"There's something behind this, you mean?"
"Mining is not really a clean business, you see. Rivalry happened now and then... but to actually kill another? That's.. I feel that's ineffective and at the same time, just what kind of reckless action do they hope to accomplish doing this?"
"That makes sense. It's probably much better to just injure the worker instead," Hikaru mused. "....Still, have there been any pattern of the attack?"
"Pattern eh... It often happen to afternoon shift workers. Afternoon shift does not have that much worker compared to day or night. Night workers work on smelting the ores of any metal found, day worker basically excavate and on the afternoon we usually started transporting things... So we suspect that it might have been some organized crime syndicate, but..."
The Golemmon looked at the pile of ore.
"...It's untouched?"
"Bingo... so whoever is doing it, they're... purposely aiming the worker."
The two looked each other, fearing for another... incident.
