Mater soon came to a halt, as McQueen unhooked himself from the hook. Braedey and Mary raced up, and detached from one another, Braedey looking a bit tired from his speedy run. Mary looking on in relief.

"McQueen, Mater. You two alright?" Braedey asked to them.

Holley then landed nearby, Braedey rather surprised by her action. "Mater, we've got to get that bomb off you." Holley took a scan of the bomb, and began to look for a way to disarm the device.

"Bomb?" McQueen finally realised and took a look for himself.

"Yeah. They strapped it to me to kill you as a back-up plan." Mater explained.

"Back-up plan?" McQueen exclaimed in confusion. "Mater, who put a bomb on you?"

At that moment, Zündapp was dumped in front of the group, tired in cables. Zündapp saw Lightning and glared. "You! Why didn't my death ray kill you?!" He demanded, only to be yanked back.

"Death ray?!" Lightning repeated, looking us for an explanation.

"Back off, crazy." Braedey snarled, revving his engine like a Lion.

"Turn off the bomb, Zündapp!" Finn ordered.

"Are you all so dense?" Zündapp droned. "Its voice activated. Everything is voice activated these days."

"Deactivate! Deactivate!" Mater cried hurriedly.

"Voice denied." A male computer spoke. Then, the bomb was now activated where it was only 5 minutes and counting down before it detonates. Mater gasped.

 Mater gasped

"Opps. Did I forget to mention that it can only be disarmed by the one who activated it?" Zündapp finally mentioned with a little laugh.

Holley brought out the taser from her wheel. "Say it." She ordered.

"Deactivate." Zündapp called out calmly.

"Voice denied." The computer spoke then changed its minutes to only 3 minutes 49 seconds. Mater gasped in fear.

"We just lost a minute on the clock." Mary called.

"I'm not the one who activated it. Would anyone else like to try-" Zundapp was tasered by Holley, and he fell limp on the ground, twitching.

"You read my mind." Finn commented with a smile.

"He was getting on my nerves." Holley added, retracting her taser.

"What are we gonna do now?" Braedey asked.

"It's very simple." Victor Hugo replied to Braedey's question. "You blow up."

Then, McQueen, Mater, Mary, Braedey, and the spies were all surrounded from all corners of the intersection, and there seemed to be so many. They found every roadway blocked by the Pacer, Hugo, Trunkov, and Gremlin family heads along with their henchmen. Even Ivan the tow truck along with several human guards.
