Chapter 1 The Pole of Inaccessibility
Furiosa and Valkyrie are picking peaches at the edge of the Green Place when they hear people talking. They see Toe Jam, Vulture, Cannibal, Savage, and Hacker slaughtering a horse. Furiosa tells Valkyrie to stay still until she comes back. Furiosa sneaks to the motorcycles belonging to Toe Jam and the others and starts cutting their fuel lines as Toe Jam directs the other members of his group on how to butcher the horse. Furiosa is caught by Vulture but stabs him in the leg and runs away. She pulls out a whistle and starts blowing it. The Cycling Man and Mary Jabassa hear the whistle, but Toe Jam uses a whip to catch Furiosa before she can get away. Alarms start to go off in the Green Place and Mary jumps on a horse being ridden by Vuvalini General as a few Vuvalini follow behind them. Toe Jam puts Furiosa on his motorcycle and then he and the others ride away. Valkyrie tells Mary and Vuvalini General that Furiosa was taken and as Mary and Vuvalini General start to catch up to Toe Jam and the others, Vuvalini General jumps off the horse and uses a rifle to kill Savage. Cannibal hops off Vulture's motorcycle and gets on Savage's motorcycle but is then quickly killed by Mary. Mary gets on Savage's motorcycle and says goodbye to Vuvalini General and Vuvalini General gives Mary her rifle and some rifle rounds and tells Mary that no one must know about the Green Place. Mary shoots Hacker dead and Vulture yells to Toe Jam that they are being attacked by snipers. Vulture takes the fuel from Hacker's motorcycle while Toe Jam uses binoculars and sees only Mary is following them.
Furiosa manages to chew threw the fuel line in Toe Jam's motorcycle and Mary switches to Hacker's motorcycle and continues to pursue Toe Jam and Vulture. Toe Jam runs out of fuel and Furiosa steals his knife and while Toe Jam and Vulture are arguing, uses it to cut the ropes holding her and tries to run away, but is caught by Toe Jam. As they get close to Dementus' camp, Toe Jam and Vulture start celebrating. Mary shoots Toe Jam's tire and then shoots Vulture dead. Toe Jam makes it to camp and tells Rizzdale Pell that he has news for Dementus. Rizzdale starts to untie Furiosa, but Toe Jam tells him hands off. Rizzdale then tells Snapper and Hungry Eyes to untie Furiosa. Rizzdale asks where Toe Jam found her and Toe Jam starts yelling to Dementus' gang that Furiosa came from a place of abundance. Rizzdale asks Furiosa where she came from, but she refuses to answer. He then asks Toe Jam where Furiosa came from, but Toe Jam tells him he will only tell Dementus himself. As Toe Jam is riding towards Dementus' tent, Furiosa jumps off his motorcycle and sticks his whip in the wheels, causing the whip to strangle and drag Toe Jam. As The History Man is telling Dementus the history of the JRl Cycles Lucky 7, Furiosa is brought into Dementus' tent by Rizzdale. Dementus asks Furiosa what her name is and the Organic Mechanic inspects Furiosa's teeth and hands. He tells Dementus that Furiosa is a healthy, flawless, full blood. Dementus asks Rizzdale how he knows Furiosa is from a land of abundance and Rizzdale tells him that a Roobillie told him. Rizzdale has Snapper and Hungry Eyes bring the dying Toe Jam into Dementus' tent and Rizzdale tells Toe Jam to draw a map or arrow in the sand. Furiosa charges at Toe Jam and starts kicking him and Toe Jam dies.
Dementus whistles and then tells Furiosa he will take her home tomorrow and has Sad Eyes feed Furiosa while Snapper and Hungry Eyes watch over her. Mary takes Vulture's clothes and uses his motorcycle to ride into Dementus' camp as a sandstorm blows towards the camp. As Sad Eyes is dressing Furiosa, she finds the peach Furiosa had picked. The tent flap opens, and Snapper goes to close it and is killed by Mary. Hungry Eyes tastes the peach but is then killed by Mary. Sad Eyes begs for her life and Mary lets her live and then leaves with Furiosa. After Mary and Furiosa leave the tent, Sad Eyes runs to Dementus' tent and tells Mr Harley to shoot Mary. Mr Harley hesitates and Fang takes his rifle from him and shoots at Mary, hitting the extra fuel tank on the back of the motorcycle. Dementus uses Dementus' Dogs to track Mary and Furiosa and after passing through a cliff opening, Mary tells Furiosa to hide herself and if she doesn't return to go back to the Green Place, however long it takes. She gives her the peach pit and tells her to protect the Green Place and plant the pit. Furiosa rides away but stops a short distance up a hill and watches as Mary ambushes and kills several of Dementus' men. Eventually Mary is surrounded and overwhelmed by Dementus' gang and is taken away. Furiosa runs to where Mary is being crucified on a tree and being tortured by The Octoboss. Furiosa runs towards Mary but is grabbed by Dementus and forced to watch as Mary is tortured.
Chapter 2 Lessons from the Wasteland
Dementus and his horde are chasing another group who end up cornered at a cliff. Their leader is chained up to five motorcycles and Dementus tells the rival groups surviving members that there are twenty of them, but only five motorcycles and they must fight to see who shall join his horde. Dementus throws a bunch of weapons on the ground and the survivors are forced to fight to make it onto one of the five motorcycles. Mr Norton goes for a weapon but is kicked in the face and then hit in the face with a hammer. She gets back up and takes Mr Davidson's gun and shoots the member of the group that had attacked her and sits on the motorcycle he had claimed. Dementus tells Furiosa she doesn't have to watch and then gives her the teddy bear that belonged to his children. Dementus then has the five survivors quarter their former leader and Furiosa drops the teddy bear. During the evening, Organic Mechanic serves Dementus lizard mince and human blood sausage. The History Man asks Furiosa if she can write and tells her that he can teach her and that someday she may become a history man. He suggests that she make herself invaluable and Dementus will look after her. During the night, Furiosa steals The History Man's tattooing kit and tattoos a star map on her left arm. As Dementus' horde is moving, Smeg points out to Dementus red smoke in the sky. Big Jilly asks Dementus if they are curious and Dementus has his horde head towards the smoke. They come across Lone War Boy with a dart stuck in his foreheard who asks them if he is in Halvalla and then correctly calls it Valhalla. The History Man explains to Dementus what Valhalla is and Dementus tells Lone War Boy that they are looking for a place of abundance which Lone War Boy assumes him to mean the Citadel. As Dementus is talking with the Lone War Boy, the Organic Mechanic assessing the Lone War Boy, while Big Jilly takes the Lone War Boy's flare gun. Big Jilly then fires a red smoke grenade into the ground, covering everything nearby in red paint. The horde travels to the Citadel causing the Wretched to run for cover in their underground warrens. Dementus and his horde arrive in the center of the Citadel and loudly rev their engines. The History Man introduces Dementus, who now calls himself The Red Dementus. Dementus tells the inhabitants of the Citadel to throw down their leaders and they will rule together in the splendor of a new wasteland. Immortan Joe walks out from an opening of a cliff along with The People Eater, Rictus Erectus, Scrotus, The Prime Imperator, and Shotgun Praetorian. Dementus introduces members of his horde and afterwards The People Eater picks up a microphone and tells Dementus to choose one warrior from his horde. He then tells Dementus to choose a War Boy. Dementus has Smeg choose a War Boy and Smeg points to a group of War Boys. At first First Pick War Boy steps forward, but Smeg says he chose Chosen War Boy. Chosen War Boy sprays himself in the mouth with silver spray paint and Immortan Joe tells him he is awaited. Chosen War Boy then takes two explosive spears and leaps to his death, causing a large explosion when he lands. The People Eater then says that anyone of Immortan's Joe's War Boys will do the same and calls Dementus and his horde fools. Scrotus and Rictus then take the microphone, introduce themselves and tell the horde they are going to kill them. The War Boys then start attacking the Horde who start to drive away. A Wretched grabs Furiosa and tries to drag her to Corpse Minder, but Dementus manages to pull her away and they escape. Later, Dementus and his horde wait as a war rig arrives at Gastown from the Citadel. The next day, as the war rig leaves Gastown, Smeg runs and signals to members of the horde that are waiting to ambush it. The war rig is overtaken and Rizzdale tells Dementus that they have fuel for months. Dementus tells Mortiflyer Matt to remove his helmet and jacket and then tells Mortiflyer Matt to cover himself in white clay. Dementus then tells The Octoboss to cover more oh his men in white clay. Gastown Gate Watchman sees the war rig returning while being attacked and calls Guardian of Gastown and asks him if they should open the gate. The Guardian of Gastown at first doesn't fall for the trick and Dementus has his horde start to kill the disguised Mortifiers and Mortiflyer Matt is killed. Guardian of Gastown orders the gates to be open and the war rig makes it inside Gastown. Mr Norton, Mr Davidson, Fang, Big Jilly, Mr Harley and Squint then sneak out of the war rig and force Gastown Gate Openers to open the gates. Big Jilly and Smeg ride to the Citadel and hands a box with the finger of Guardian of Gastown to Winchman. Immortan Joe agrees to a meeting and during the meeting is guarded by Watch Tower Praetorian Guards while Praetorian Pup hands out food. Rizzdale walks in first and tells Immortan Joe that if they are not back to Gastown by sunset then Gastown will be blown up. Dementus follows behind carrying a contraption with a harpoon pointed to the back of Guardian of Gastown's head. Dementus lists his demands and releases the device when Rictus grabs for the bomb code input and Guardian of Gastown is killed. Immortan Joe notices Furiosa, who is standing in the back and Dementus says Furiosa is his daughter, Little D. Immortan Joe calls Furiosa pale and the Organic Mechanic tells him that she is pale, because the Organic Mechanic takes her blood to make blood sausage for Dementus. Immortan Joe asks Furiosa if she wants to stay with him and eventually become one of his wives. The History Man tells Dementus that they will be bonded by blood. Immortan agrees to make a deal in exchange for Furiosa and the Organic Mechanic. Before leaving the meeting Dementus takes back the teddy bear from Furiosa and declares that he shall now be known as The Great Dementus. Furiosa is then brought to the chamber of Immortan's Harem. Later, while Furiosa is standing with the rest of Immortan's Harem as Pregnant Wife gives birth, Rictus starts playing with Furiosa's hair. Pregnant Wife gives birth to a deformed baby and is then removed from Immortan's Harem. Furiosa shaves off her hair and makes a wig from her hair. One night Rictus grabs Furiosa and brings her into his room. He removes her chastity belt and then as Rictus is playing with her hair, Furiosa escapes. Sometime later, during a storm, while Scrotus is trying to secure a vehicle, he tells The Dogman to secure the loose cable to the vehicle. The Dogman slips and falls, but manages to hang on to the excavator bucket on the back of the vehicle. Scrotus tells Brake Man to secure the vehicle, but Brake Man suggests someone small go. Scrotus tells Chumbucket to go, but then tells Furiosa to go instead.
