===The Mission===
Tommy enters the Kaufman Cab and gets told by Doris that a [[Mercedes Cortez|Miss Cortez]] asked for a taxi. Believing it to be Mercedes, Tommy drives over to [[Viceport]], enters the marked area, and sounds the horn. Tommy notes that there is no sign of Mercedes, and then realizes he was set up, as six [[Vice City Cabs]] drivers enter the area and attack Tommy with their [[Taxi|vehicle]]s, seeking revenge for the three cars Tommy destroyed during the [[Friendly Rivalry|previous mission]].  
To start the mission, get on the marked cab at the central, then Tommy will be told that [[Mercedes Cortez|Mercedes]] asked for a pick up. Drive over to [[Viceport]] and get in the marked open empty area which has [[8-Ball]]'s bomb shop in it. Sound the horn. Now, there is no sign of Mercedes, however, there is sign of something else...six [[Taxi|VC Cabs vehicles]] with drivers seeking revenge for destroying the three rival VC Cabs during the previous mission, [[Friendly Rivalry]].


The quest here, avoiding to get Tommy's cab destroyed by the cabs for one minute. The player will have to drive around the open area until the one minute timer goes down to zero. When it reaches zero, the cabs will self-destruct/disappear and the boss cab will arrive. A [[Zebra Cab]] will enter the area with the owner of VC Cabs in it. Tommy will now have to kill the owner, either by ramming his car into destruction, or more easily, wait for him to be in Tommy's firing range, get out of Tommy's cab and gun his cab to the exploding point. (Shooting through the windshield and into the driver works too.)
Tommy manages to survive their onslaught for one minute, at which point the owner of VC Cabs arrives in a [[Zebra Cab]] (also wielding a [[katana]]) and the other drivers disappear from the area. Tommy kills him to pass the mission.
 
When the owner is killed, and his car is exploded, the mission is over. Upon completing this mission, [[Kaufman Cabs]] will be paying Protection Money, and all Kaufman Cabs will have two-way radios installed with [[Delores]] talking to the drivers, replacing the radio station music. As a reward the player will unlock the [[Zebra Cab]], waiting for Tommy at the cab depot.

== Trivia ==
* The name of this mission is a portmanteau of "cab" and "armageddon".
** The "armageddon" part of the name is a clear reference to the fall of the Vice City Cabs.
* The player can choose to destroy the rival taxis. However, they may receive a [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era#Two stars|2-star wanted level]] for mass murder.
* If a [[VCPD in GTA III Era|police officer]] is near the player as they reach the compound in Viceport and sound the horn, the police officer will run away.
* This mission is coincidentally similar to the mission [[Cash in Kazuki's Chips]] for [[Toshiko Kasen]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[The Da Nang Thang]] for [[Wu Zi Mu]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] as the targets of all three missions (in this mission's case, the Vice City Cabs owner. In The Da Nang Thang's case, [[The Snakehead]]. In Cash in Kazuki's Chips's case, [[Kazuki Kasen]]) use [[katana]]s.
** All three missions also involve the fall/decline in power of a rival organization.
