the shoveler is at the wheel. the raja sits in the passenger seat. the others are in the back. on furious and the others in the back. bullets are heard pinging off the herk as through the windshield just ahead we see the long stairway heading up to the front door of the art center. our heroes get bounced all over the place. as our heroes encourage the herk. the bullets sound like hailstones bouncing off the armor of the herk as our heroes grimly prepare themselves for battle. the sphinxs puts on his mask. the bowler unzips her bag. doc heller cocks his air cannon. spleen and invisible boy load a bag with canned tornadoes. while mister furious watches anxiously.
