The
convoy is halted by some men working on the road. Oh and the cartoon mountains
disappear when we cut back to them. Whoops! Asha asks Mirza what's going on, to
which he replies he doesn't know. He tells her to stay comfortable and he'll go
check it out. In the lead truck of the main convoy, Chander glances in the
rearview mirror to see a tractor being driven across the road, and stopping
behind the last truck. He gets a suspicious look on his face, and rightly so!
One of the workers pulls out an odd looking machine gun and orders the
passengers of Mirza's car out onto the road. He keeps them covered as a dozen
more gunmen appear on the side of the road (to the tunes of still more Star Wars
music) and storm the trucks.
The men yank open the doors and pull all of the soldiers out. Chander gives
his little escort guy a dirty look, but cooperates. The soldiers all form up
into lines and are marched forward down the road, away from the trucks. Up in
Mirza's car, Asha urges Edward to start the car and make a break for freedom.
Edward thinks their odds are less than good, but she insists. Upon turning the
key in the ignition, the hijacker nearest the car pulls open the driver's door
and pulls him out. He then smashes his head through the window, but it's more in
the comedic way instead of the cranial trauma way.
Asha
gets out of the backseat of the car and grapples with the hijacker, calling him
such vicious names as "rascal." Chander uses this distraction to start kicking
ass. He randomly flails around and quickly takes a few of the hijackers out.
However he is restrained as Asha climbs up into the driver's seat and pulls the
car away (although it's a bit slowly). One of the men opens fire on the car as
Asha leisurely drives off, occasionally ducking and yelping. Eventually she
loses control of the car and it somehow flips over into a ditch. Chander once
again attacks the hijackers, and does some impressive disco-fu on them.
After dodging some bullets, Chander finds himself next to a tool compartment
on one of the trucks, and he flips open the lid. He kills the next three bad
guys with the following: a lightly tossed screwdriver, a tire iron (also happily
tossed) and a crescent wrench (or spanner, for some of you out there).
Things break down to a general melee at this point, with the soldiers
fighting back and slowly taking the lead. We look up onto a hill and see Ninja
looking over the scene with a "what are you guys doing?" expression on
his face. For those of you worried about her, Asha is also shown crawling unhurt
from her wrecked car. She is accosted by one of the hijackers who pulls a gun on
her and leads her away. Chander orders someone to get into one of the delivery
trucks, and it heads off away from trouble. One of the hijackers gets in another
one, and starts driving towards Chander as he beats up a few more people.
Chander
notices the truck just as it is bearing down on him. He throws himself to the
ground and the truck passes over him, leaving him unscathed. This begins a
rather Indiana Jones-esque truck fight, with Chander crawling all over the truck
trying to get the driver out.
He eventually takes one of the chains that are securing the back door of the
truck and whips it through the windshield, hooking it on the steering wheel.
He then yanks it to one side, causing the truck to veer off the road. He dives
off before the truck collides with a tree (again, rather gently) finally
bringing it to a halt. Chander calls one of the soldiers over (didn't we just
drive at least a mile?) to take the truck away, which he does. Good thing the
tree wasn't hit too hard! The truck operates just fine!
Back
at the main battleground, Ninja is still standing around looking irritated. We
see a few of the anonymous black-suited ninja troopers limbering up, and he
gives them a hand signal to "get involved people, we're not here for our
health." We watch as three ninjas do some admittedly well-timed flips and leaps
to land in the battle. They start poking people with sharp objects and generally
making themselves useful.
Ninja tugs on his red mask and leaps to the top of a truck in slow motion,
with a great "YEEEEEeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah!" for emphasis. Two more black-suits flip
over to join him, landing with what I swear is a "yoink!"
Man, I love ninjas.
