During the events of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) played by Tom Burke
On Fury Road, Lookout Warboy uses a spyglass and tells Ace Warboy that he's spotted Mortifiers. Ace Warboy tells Jack who says that the Mortifiers have gone rogue. Ace Warboy tells Lookout Warboy contact front and Lookout Warboy spreads the message along the ranks. The War Rig is almost immediately attacked from the rear and the War Rig is quickly surrounded. Two sets of Mortiflyers paraglide and kill or wound all the War Boys riding the tanker of the War Rig. The War Boys escorting the War Rig manage to eliminate one set of paragliding Mortiflyers while Witness Warboy and Lookout Warboy sacrifice themselves in order to eliminate the other set of paragliding Mortiflyers. The line feeding one of the War Rig's engines gets cut and Black Thumb goes to repair it. The War Rig's ranks are replenished from a convoy vehicle and a new set of Mortiflyers start their attack this time using paramotors. The paramotor Mortiflyers start whittling down the War Boys and when a paramotor Mortiflyer throws a gas grenade at Ace Warboy, the explosion also injures Black Thumb, causing him to slide under the truck. Pissboy is covered in flames by a gas grenade and pours his piss bottle on himself to try and put out the flames. Mortiflyer Bomb Setter rides next to the War Rig and places dynamite on the bottom of the War Rig and then lights its fuse.
As Mortiflyer Bomb Setter is trying to grab Furiosa, she kicks him away and Pissboy uses the crane claw to destroy the sidehack motorcycle the Mortiflyer Bomb Setter was riding in. War Pup asks Bommyknocker Warboy if he should turn on the Bommyknocker, but Bommyknocker Warboy tells him not yet. Furiosa repairs the hose, but a radiator cover is dislodged by the dead body of a Mortiflyer. Pissboy grabs the lit dynamite from Furiosa and sacrifices himself to kill a group of Mortiflyers. The Mortiflyers manage to kill all the remaining War Boys except War Pup. Furiosa manages to replace the radiator cover but also reveals herself to Jack. The War Rig is attacked by Mortiflyers using a hand glider rigged with a flame thrower, but Furiosa uses the crane claw to destroy it. The Octoboss using a paramotor attacks the War Rig, but Furiosa fires a harpoon which impales The Octoboss in the leg. Furiosa tells War Pup to turn on the Bommyknocker and The Octoboss shoots and kills War Pup, but is in turn shredded by the bommyknocker. Furiosa pulls a gun on Jack and orders him to pull over, but he manages to throw her out of the War Rig. He starts to drive away, but then stops. He makes an offer to Furiosa that if she joins his crew, he will train her in how to survive road warfare and if she survives, she can eventually go on her way.
Time passes and Furiosa joins Jack as his driver in the War Rig. They arrive at The Bullet Farm to the chants of Immortan Joe. As they drop off food and Mother's Milk to The Bullet Farm, they replenish their weapons in return. Bullet Farm Senior War Boy tells The Bullet Farmer that everything is accounted for, and The Bullet Farmer tells Jack that Dementus is running Gastown into the ground and he wants to have a meeting with Immortan Joe then hands Jack a shotgun and ammo. Jack hands Furiosa the shotgun and tells her that her time with him is done and it is time for her to go on her travels. The War Rig's next stop is to Gastown and a disheveled Mr Davidson leads them inside. As they enter, a riot breaks out and when they arrive the War Rig War Boys quickly start transferring the Mother's Milk. Dementus drives through the crowd and tells them that he is going to make everything right. He then demands a meeting of the warlords at high noon at the Citadel in three days. The riot starts to intensify and Dementus tells Jack he better leave. After Jack tells Dementus he is not leaving without his tanker full of gas, explosions break out and the crowd including Gastown Rioter start pushing their way towards the War Rig. Dementus tells Jack if they want to leave, they better follow him and as they are escaping a rioter jumps on the War Rig and stabs Furiosa in the shoulder.
When Jack and Furiosa return, Immortan Joe, Scrotus, The People Eater, The Bullet Farmer and Rictus Erectus hold a meeting. Scrotus wants to attack Dementus, but The People Eater is afraid Dementus will blow up Gastown. Immortan Joe tells The Prime Imperator to turn off all the generators and all vehicles, then tells Jack and Furiosa to leave for The Bullet Farm in the morning and to collect every round of ammunition they can carry in the War Rig. Jack stitches up Furiosa's wound and asks Furiosa where the map on her arm leads to. Furiosa pulls her arm away and Jack tells her about his parents and offers to help Furiosa find the Green Place. Furiosa shows him the peach pit she has been keeping all these years and asks him to join her. As they are driving the War Rig to The Bullet Farm, Furiosa pulls over and Jack tells the new Ace Warboy to put two motorcycles in the back of the pursuit vehicle and to load it with food and water. He then tells Valiant Lancer that he has been promoted to rear defense and Furiosa is to drive the pursuit vehicle. Hazz The Valiant is then made the new driver of the War Rig. They drive through the front gates of The Bullet Farm, but this time there is no one chanting Immortan Joe's name or even a crowd. Jack sees one of Dementus' Dogs carrying a human foot in its mouth and realizes it is a trap. Hazz The Valiant is almost immediately shot dead along with all of the other War Boys including the ones in the other pursuit vehicle, but Furiosa makes it out before the gate is closed. Jack starts making his way to the gate while killing members of Dementus' Horde, while Furiosa does the same. Jack reverses the War Rig into the gate, but it doesn't break. Furiosa runs to the pursuit vehicle and honks the horn for Jack to join her, but he fires a flare telling her to leave and drives towards the incoming vehicles coming their way. Furiosa starts to drive away but then reverses the vehicle and runs back inside The Bullet Farm. She starts to snipe Dementus' men, and Dementus sacrifices two of his men to locate Furiosa, but manages to fire an RPG at her. Jack drives the War Rig into the structure Dementus is standing on, causing it to partially collapse. The War Rig is pulled into a pit, but Furiosa manages to save Jack, and they escape The Bullet Farm and drive away in the pursuit vehicle.
Dementus uses his monster truck to break the front gate down and goes in pursuit of Furiosa and Jack. Furiosa and Jack hear Dementus' vehicle and see him pursuing them and Jack uses the rifle to shoot and kill Squint. Dementus catches up with Furiosa and Jack and Furiosa shoots Fang with her shotgun, but Jack is shot by Dementus who also crushes Furiosa's arm with the side of his vehicle. Dementus then rams their vehicle, causing it to crash. Mr Davidson and Mr Harley drag Furiosa and Jack out of the vehicle. Dementus starts wailing about how he could have ruled the wasteland if not for them and separates them when they try to comfort each other and tells them that they make him the Dark Dementus. Dementus has Furiosa strung up by her injured arm while Jack is pulled behind a motorcycle driven by Big Jilly. Mr Norton releases Dementus' Dogs who chase after Jack as he is dragged by the motorcycle and Jack eventually dies.
