Richie Rich: The Outlands Disaster

Can a post-apocalypse road-cop (Max Satan) outshine the newest 'super-villain' of the wasteland(s) and bring more sanity?

Signing off with a fanfiction of iconic Mad Max. Enjoy!

The Old World was destroyed by the World War, and the vanity of man creating forms of tech-arrogance and machinery of hypnosis had served as a crystal-ball for the holocaust of manmade self-destruction, and perhaps all the 'toys' reflected this future of doom anyways.

Now, the world was composed of barren wastelands and clans and nomads wandering, huddling, pillaging, and eating. There was gasoline, the only last resource of barter-value, for it fueled the repaired engines of repaired cars that drove on unrepaired roads, and it bound the nonexistent nation-states together in this New World.

In this hellmouth of survival-IQ rose the Old World car-cop survivor Max Satan ('MS') who drove around in a mask and one-lens sunglasses, perfectly satisfying for him. He was a man of means and method, and he was simply mad. His friends were killed during the World War, and he was the rare 'cop' on the road, driving around with a crossbow and arm-plates as semi-armor to ricochet bullets off himself. He'd been a mercenary these days, and he was about to prepare for something other-worldly.

MAX SATAN: When I bring bread and gasoline and songs to the nomad-survivor villages of kids in New Earth, I feel like a cop!

Max Satan ('MS') drove a repaired and customized super-car as his police-mobile in this New World (or 'New Earth') and started to become 'known' somehow as the wild policeman or 'Mad Max' having already deposed/dethroned the likes of New World wasteland warlords/warlocks/wastrels such as Humungus, Night-Rider, the Black Fingers Clan, and Siren. His police-mobile became a sacred vehicle of justice in his own mind.

RICHIE RICH: I shall uncover this 'Mad Max' and dethrone him as the 'final dead cop' and establish myself as King of Earth!

This new super-villain of the New Earth, 'Richie Rich' (a self-named demon with a musketeer-like grin and a taste for the 'finery' of piracy, bloody murder, goon-organization, and rape) was worse in some ways than the other mayhem-artists Max Satan ('MS') dealt with in the past as the lone cop of the wasteland(s). Richie Rich was a man of flair but no empathy and a dastardly evildoer in this survivor-IQ Earth, and he recruited/organized a legion of masked bad-guys he called his 'knights' of hell.

MAX SATAN: All I have on this planet now is my police-mobile, the friends I 'make' in my rides, and my Old World keyboard.

Max ('Mad Max') or 'MS' (Max Satan) befriended a lone woman in this wasteland of New Earth named Iso, a punk-rocker and survivor of the World War who intrigued Max's cop-sensibility about discovering peace and sanity with wrought vigilance and even humorous courage. Max/Iso suddenly became a 'Romeo-and-Juliet' of this wasteland and he used her as his car-hood strapped 'hostage-decoy' to lure in all of Richie Rich's road-goons as well as their evil 'captain-musketeer' himself and had them dive off a cliff in a chicken-run. When Iso got off Max's cop-car hood, she kissed him and stared at him and said, "I'm certain you'll depart now and continue in your 'cop-wandering(s)' on New Earth, Max."

This was a true story, albeit one of 'tall-tale' proportion. This is the new world of Mad Max, a cop-wanderer and road-master of furies. He'd always remember Iso, however, despite his future wanderings...and hopefully more heroics.
