"This is terrible!" said Mayor Bloom.
"The Ultra Car is destroying the city!"
"My poor Ruby!" cried Mrs. Cash.
"My poor car!" cried the inventor.
"My poor city!" cried Mayor Bloom.
"Rocket Girl!" said Detective Smith.
"You must . . . Rocket Girl?"
Zoom! Roxy shot through the air.
She flew toward downtown as fast as she could.
Up ahead, she saw black smoke fill the sky.
"Something's burning!" thought Roxy.
She used her super vision to see through the smoke.
Cars were burning in the street.
A building was on fire too.
A fruit cart lay on its side.
Several store windows had been smashed.
A sleek car rocketed down West Street.
It had wings and rockets.
"That must be the Ultra Car!" thought Roxy.
Whoosh! She flew toward it.
Crash! The car smashed a donut stand.
Donuts flew everywhere.
"Ugh!" cried the donut maker.
"It took me all morning to make those donuts!"
Roxy used her super vision again.
She peered into the Ultra Car and saw a young girl.
The girl wore diamond sunglasses.
"That's Ruby Cash," thought Roxy.
The car swerved all over the street. Ruby laughed.
Roxy flew alongside the car.
"Ruby, stop the car!" she cried.
"No way!" cried Ruby. "This is fun!"
Smash!
The Ultra Car crashed through a fountain.
Startled pigeons flew everywhere.
"Woo-hoo!" shouted Ruby as the car zoomed forward.
Screech! The Ultra Car skidded back onto the street.
It almost hit a woman carrying a cat.
"Crazy driver!" the woman shouted.
"Watch where you're going!"
"Meow!" yelped the cat.
"Don't yell at me!" Ruby shouted.
"I have to stop that car before someone gets hurt!" said Roxy.
She flew ahead of the Ultra Car and landed in the street.
She held up her hands as the car raced toward her.
Zap! Zap! Laser beams shot from the car's headlights and blasted Roxy.
She tumbled backward and crashed into a mailbox.
"This car is totally fabulous," said Ruby.
"I'll tell Mother to buy it for me. I don't care how much it costs—oh no!"
Roxy jumped to her feet.
The Ultra Car was racing straight toward a bus.
Roxy could see Terrell, Jack, and Mara on the bus.
"Rocket Girl, help!" cried Ruby. "I can't stop this car!"
Roxy gulped. "Ruby's going to crash into my friends!"
