Behind the wheel of the red 18-wheeler that was mangling the rear treads of the tank, Contessa Helena de San Finzione looked up from the deflating air bag and stepped on the gas, pushing the tank closer toward the roadblock down the hill and away the front half of Maria's car that was coming to a stop. The four-point safety harnesses she'd had installed kept Helen and Mander from lurching out of their seats. Helen spit out her mouthguard, grabbed the CB microphone, and turned on the PA.
"CON-VOY!!" Helen shouted, driving past Maria and blasting the air horn a second time to her.
"Ok, I got two questions." Mander shouted after removing his own mouthguard; which they'd been wearing so that neither lost teeth in the collision, over the sound of rending metal so that Helen could hear him now that her ringing was gone. He picked up the weapons from between the seats now that they wouldn't be needed. "I know the back armor's weaker than the other sides, so rammin' from behind's the way to go; but how'd we not wreck doing that? Also, when'd you learn to drive one of these things?"
Helen looked at the tank trying to swivel its main gun round to fire on her, however, she was too close for it now, continuing to press her front and the tank's rear ends into a single metal mass. With parts of her bumper now jamming up the rear treads, the big rig was pushing the Panzer faster than it had been designed to be able to move. Smoke and squealing noises were starting to come from the tank.
"In reverse order; I got to drive one the night before I got stabbed and decided I wanted one of my own. As for why we're pushing the tank instead of being all smashed up ourselves; that thing was built BEFORE airbags, crumple zones, high-impact bumpers, and four-point harnesses." Helen thumped one of the straps of her harness. "Mine was built after all those things. I got all the options and then some. If you get tired and feel like you need a nap after this, there's bunk beds in the back."
Helen pushed the hapless behemoth toward an open intersection cleared of traffic. She looked up and pointed out to Mander the seven Apache helicopters flying toward them from Fort Ernesto. Helen grabbed the e-brake and heard metals rending in the other direction as she stopped pushing the tank and allowed it to break free and screech to a halt in the intersection.
She put the big rig in reverse and quickly backed away. The gunner, now seeing his opportunity, tried to turn the cannon back around and possibly hit Maria now that the barrel no longer had Helen's truck in the way. The gunner saw Maria getting out of her car. He grinned as he got her in his crosshairs and began to...
Up above them, the seven helicopters opened fire with their forward machine guns. The men inside were shredded by thousands of .30 bullets now making their metal tomb into swiss cheese like themselves. One of the remaining shells left inside was struck, causing it to explode and the other three remaining to chain-react until the tank went up in a fireball.
Maria was running up to Helen as she and Mander staggered out of the truck. With a look of shock, Helen walked toward her and let her great-granddaughter run into her arms.
"Are you ok, Dearest One?" Helen asked Maria.
"Si, I am. Are you?"
"Mostly." Helen turned and looked at the burning vehicle with the burning Nazis inside. "Although we WERE renting that tank, so I'm gonna have to BUY it from those guys now!"
Ultimados ran from concealed positions to surround and cover La Contessa and the Princess as they hugged. Because Mander was known to the Ultimados, they let him into the human shield they were forming around the two.
Overhead, the attack choppers fanned out to repel news copters until La Contessa and Lady Maria had been taken to safety. An APC arrived a moment later, which they entered to be driven back to the castle while medics inside saw to them.
