"The Oasis, a cybernetic utopia that is known for having almost every kind of pop culture was a place for everyone to join in and play with anyone they want. It was a home to all fans around the entire planet to meet others as well play amazing games with them, it was like a giant haven for geeks and gamers alike. It was all good, until the day that James Halliday, the creator of the game passed away. It was a sad day for all of us, but he did left us something when he left, a competition for the greatest prize of all time. The Easter egg hunt, the goal was to find three keys across the Oasis and to unlock three gates. Upon the final key, they would obtain the control of the entire game along with a whole bunch of money to set anyone on easy street for life. Though it was really difficult, the competitors who wanted win was a corporation called IOI, they wanted to make everyone pay for it as well control it due to it being popular across the entire world, though I wasn't going to let them take it over. My name is Wade Watts, but my avatar name is Parzival, meaning the knight that found the holy grail, so me along with my friends the High Five. Were able to beat them and win the challenge, though that didn't mean it was all good happy endings. Sorrento, the guy who ran the company used a powerful bomb that destroyed everyone especially his own men in a effort for no one to win the challenge. Although it didn't stop me, it did however awoken a dark secret in the depths of planet Doom, a powerful and dangerous AI boss that was named the Ultimate. The only way he was to be free if he was given the lives of thousands of gunters along that were good and evil, in which his chains would be removed and he would be able to return to the Oasis and reclaim his powers. Luckily he was able to spread his powers to some bosses which we now have to take them down, now me along with my friends, as well a newcomer named Lozer who has a hobby of fighting boss battles will now have to find these artifacts of Ultimate and stop him from becoming all powerful. So I guess it's game on again, for the fate of the Oasis."
Right on a race track, in the middle of the racing track was a custom DeLorean as it was Parzival racing against some other racers to unlock a new item. A rocket pack booster for his engines as he was racing against a motorcycle rider and a Halo warthog jeep. He was getting bumped left to right as he was getting a call. He sighs as he answers the call as he looks at who it was.
Parzival: "What's going up?"
"Hey Z!"
Shouted a familiar voice as it was none other than his best friend Aech, he could tell how excited he sounded as the white haired driver kept focused on the race.
Aech: "Hope I didn't disrupt your small race, but I think we got a lead on where we can find the next artifact."
Parzival: "The one that Ultimate is after?"
He asked as he did a hard turn making the jeep goes off course as he was trying to catch up to get in lead place. Right now who was in lead place was Ecto one from the Ghostbusters as it was heading towards the finish line fast.
Aech: "Very same, Lozer confirmed it when he was looking up the bosses he was going after. Half of them are guys you might know and some you might not."
Parzival: "Well who's the boss we got to fight then?"
Aech: "Sweet tooth, from Twisted metal."
Telling him as Z soon got enough coins as he engages the turbo as he soon pulls the lever making his DeLorean rocket pass the car as he was able to make it, though by mistake he notice someone else catching up to him as it was a familiar bike. It was Kaneda's bike from Akira as he realized who it was, he stops his car and see's who the rider was. It was a female who had on a black and dark pink spiked biker suit, wearing a helmet she soon removes it revealing none other than Art3mis, the huntress of the High five as well girlfriend to Parzival. Z looks as he notices a item dropping into her hand as it was the rocket pack tool.
Art3mis: "Nice."
Telling herself as she puts it into her inventory as she looks noticing Parzival, he gets out as he stores his car back into his inventory as he walks over to check on her.
Parzival: "So that's why you didn't message me, wanted to do some early racing?"
Art3mis: "Well yeah, I do have other things to do than be a simple girlfriend. Such as gearing up for the next mission, plus. I am a pretty good racer."
Telling him in a prideful manner patting him on the shoulder as Parzival merely shakes his head as the two went to a near by portal to head to the others back at Aech's garage. They began to walkover to the garage and opens the doors seeing some stuff going on, Aech was right now working on some tools as the others doing their own business. Daito, the red samurai as well was practicing some sword skills with Sho, a yellow reptile like ninja which they were practicing for almost anything. Lozer, the new member of the group was right now looking at the bosses he went up against as well watching looking at the cars he wanted to ride.
Lozer: "Hey Aech, would it be alright If I took Axel's ride? I like the type of cars that are very unique."
Aech: "Sure little buddy, all I need is a strong car able to tear apart through walls and armored trucks."
Replying to him as Parzival and Art3mis went over as the others notice their return, the four soon walk over as they were curious about what they would say.
Parzival: "So L, you know where Sweet Tooth is at?"
Asking in which the recruit pulls out a map showing most of the planets across the Oasis, he pulls out the racing planets in which showed some of the dangerous tracks in the game. The planet that came up was a desert world called "Sacrabraxis five", a dangerous racing world roaming with dangerous like bugs from multiple genres as well racers that were either violent or dangerous. Presuming one of the most savage drivers was Sweet Tooth, he was confirmed to be a world boss as they knew he would have the artifact.
Daito: "I have did some races on this world, I was close to zero out when I was being attack by the horde."
Sho: "Same, last time I almost got cocooned by a giant spider. I didn't know which it was from, I thought it was Shelob from lord of the rings."
Art3mis: "Well still we should at least get ready for the ride, which is why I won us this little beauty."
Pulling out the rocket pack booster as she placed it in the middle of them, they all looked at it as Aech activates his cybernetic monocle scanning the item as it could only be equipped with one engine.
Aech: "Hey, I don't need to be a buzz kill, but this can only work for one car."
Parzival: "Mhm, well I got a idea for that."
Suggesting as he goes in his inventory and pulls out an acme based laser gun. He shoots at the booster pack as it soon multiples the pack into six parts, the six look at it as the pack looked the same.
Sho: "Is there a catch to this? Because I don't think they'll be able to support all of us."
Parzival: "Well, they all might not be the same. It was able to split up the speed energy in the pack, so we all have half of the pack."
Explaining to them as they soon went to select their cars for the trip, Z was checking out his inventory as he had to select a car that was able to handle the outskirts of the track as well take on any other enemy cars. He looks in his inventory and finds a car that could help, he pulls out Road Blade, a standard card from Jak X Combat Racing, it was dark blue and hade silver lines across the sides in it's color motif as he places the pack in it. The car shines showing it getting a upgrade as he puts his inventory list away. He looks at the others seeing if they were ready for the ride, as the others looked like they had the right kind of cars for them to race on the planet. Art3mis, was right now looking for a good look to be racing in as it was between Dollface's spiked armor and Lilith's clothing from Borderlands.
Art3mis: "Hard choices to make, do I want to be ready or burn away the competition?"
Aech: "Id go with the burning away."
The cyber orc giving her a answer while he was modifying his monster truck Bigfoot as he was ready, they looked prepared as the six soon walked out of the garage as they then head over to the portal station. Where each portal would lead to a different planet or area in the Oasis for avatars to go and play or visit, the high five soon went into the desert world as they soon went instantly through the gateway heading to the planet. Meanwhile right near the corner was a cloaked figure as it was Mordred, he takes out a helmet which was Blood Falcons. He places it on as he soon generates a costume for him as he was fully disguised like the enemy from F-Zero. He then walks over to the portal where he would out race the avatars and get back his powers from the boss on Sacrabraxis and restore his powerful state.
The six avatars arrived on the planet where they merely see a wasteland as well a post apocalyptic world filled with mad max like drivers as well cars. There were buildings half destroyed along with everything else as the six looked at the dark orange and red sky.
Sho: "This is, neat."
Daito: "Reminds me of the outskirts of Uncharted."
He spoke as they soon see a Nathan Drake avatar walking by as that ruined the mood as they look around and see some of the racers getting ready at the starting line. The six walk over as they begin to pull out their cars out, Parzival got out his road blade while he suited himself up with Mad Max's nineteen eight's police clothing as he gets in, Art3mis suits up in her Lilith clothing and hopes into her own Outrunner that was from the game which as covered in hot pink as well spikes. Aech got out his monster truck as the he notices the others taste in vehicles. Daito and Sho pulled out two cars which came from Twisted metal, Daito had the Spectre as it was colored to dark red and black as well had a dragon riding on the sides. Sho was in Roadkill as it's colors was yellow and black showing signs of a dragon as well but had swords around it's back.
Lozer: "Cool, really cool."
Being amazed as he gets out his vehicle, he pulls out a kart which was from Crash Bandicoot. The kart was from team Crash's as it was painted dark green as well had features such as it being looking like a monster as well had a mace like tail. He drives by the five looking ready as they looked at the newcomer not trying to chuckle at his selection of vehicle.
Lozer: "What? Just watch me tear apart this track."
Art3mis: "Yeah, will see Ototo."
Telling him in Japanese as Daito looked at the pink skin avatar with a look raising a curious expression to her.
Daito: "Little brother?"
Art3mis: "Well, he does act like one. Besides, who said he would win this?"
Asking the samurai as he simply placed on his war mask as the six avatars soon notice the Blood hawk, the vehicle of Blood falcon as the driver moved up to the side of Parzival as the rider's helmet covered his head as he looked at the road blade rider.
Aech: "Hey Z, you think that guy is our guy?"
Parzival: "If the sword of omen fits, also that he's giving me a evil glare. Everyone, were not here to fight him. we're here to find Sweet tooth. Zero him out and get out of here. Copy?"
Asking the others as they checked in, they soon notice a ncp walking over to the finishing line as it waved a red flag. The drivers got ready as they revved up their engines, turned on their motors and pressed their pedals waiting to race right pass everyone. The anticipation was killing everyone as the player soon drops the red flag as the drivers soon speed passed the player as the race had begun. The racers were going across a track of dangerous obstacles which involved landmines and traps as everyone was moving left to right avoiding the traps. Parzival notice on the tracks their were some weapon like symbols as it enabled them to unlock the drivers weaponry, Z drove pass the icon as his submachine guns activated.
Parzival: "Alright, let's do this!"
He said to himself as he notices some enemy cars ramming against Z as he breaks the car shooting at the back of them as the cars fly off the track in smoke and flames. He passes by them as he notices Aech, driving right in front chewing up some of the cars as they apparently looked like IOI cars.
Parzival: "Are those sixer cars?"
Aech: "I guess so, after the corporation fell. I guess those cars went up for sale, should have geared up much better."
Lozer: "Well all I can tell is that these guys are being taken, but the other drivers are trying to squish me. I got Christine and the car from Death Proof trying to run me off the road."
Telling them through the coms as he was avoiding the two cars as he wanted to try and arm himself but the cars drove him off course from him able to get any weapons. Sho was coming up and was able to get his weapons, he locks on to both of the cars and soon presses a button. Two missiles come out from the hood flying directly at the two as Lozer notices, he hits the breaks hard steering out of control as the two missiles hit the cars.
Sho: "Your welcome!"
He acknowledge him as Lozer was about to drive off course as at the edge of the course was a deep drop, it was a sand like field as their were worm like creatures about to bite him. Daito driving behind fires one of his car's signature ghost missiles as they soon fly off, he kept them intangible so they didn't hit Lozer on impact as they attack the worms. Lozer looked shocked as he got back in the race driving by Daito's side, he shows a thumbs up as the red samurai merely nodded as they continued the race. Art3mis, who was at third place was noticing the Blood Hawk driving by her side as it was ramming her.
Art3mis: "No wonder Halliday locked you up, no manners!"
Commenting herself as she rams back into the blood hawk as the F-zero rider was soon in third place, he drives up from behind her as the driver merely chuckles at her. He passes by a teeth like icon as he soon summons a small swarm of locusts as they change into bullets as he fires them at her. She felt the bump as she notices her car not moving fast as half of her car was being chewed up.
Art3mis: "If anyone is hearing me, I'm getting eaten over here!"
Lozer and Parzival: "I'm on it!"
The two said as Z went by the Blood hawk as he pushes him away from Art3mis to make sure he stop attacking her, Lozer was driving my her side as he fires a small tornado as it blows away the locus. He then looks in his inventory and finds a Wumpa fruit in his inventory as he throws it to her car, the juice soon slowly was able to repair her car but slowly as he drove by her side to protect her. Right now Parzival was battling the Blood hawk as he soon notices he's commlink being hacked as someone was going to talk to him.
"Trying to be chivalrous I see? How amusing."
As the familiar voice was Mordred, Parzival didn't let his words get to him as he focused on driving as well shooting him. Mordred merely dodges as he was able to drive backwards while looking right at him as he stops the car and lets him hit the front of Z's car. The two locked hood to hood as they were pushing against each other, right now the two didn't stop as they soon notice something. Right in front of Parzival was a giant like carnival fortress. The massive moving fortress was none other than Sweet tooth's carnival of carnage, though it was miniature sized as the massive clown like head crane roared at them. It was lite on fire shooting all kinds of weaponry at them and Parzival got out of Mordred's hold as he avoids getting shot at. The others soon catch up and see the massive monstrosity firing at them, Aech as well the others dodged while they saw other drivers being torn apart.
Aech: "Damn! this thing will not show any mercy on our backsides!"
Sho: "It might have the same weaknesses from the game, check underneath the belly of the beast."
Telling everyone as they all drive towards it and thought they would see a head, but only saw gun turrets shooting at them as they all dodged from the hail of bullets. Art3mis, now healed up looks at the giant head as she moves left to right while shooting at the face. She had on a road rage face letting out a war cry as well firing bullets at the giant clown as everyone watched her.
Daito: "The machine must have a weakness. The top of the head, that red spot!"
He pointed out as they looked at the head's read spot as they still kept focused trying to not get blown up. As they kept driving, the group noticed the road changed it a rough like road having rocks as they began bouncing as it got difficult.
Parzival: "Yeah, we need a helicopter to drop something in. But we all don't have one, noir something to throw it in."
Lozer: "We could use me as the object. I can place some nitro bombs as well TNT to blow it up."
Aech: "How exactly are you going to get up there? We don't exactly got wings."
Suggesting as Z notices how the ground was jagged with rocks as they could be used for their advantage. He had enough bullets as he begins shooting at the ground as everyone looks at what he was doing.
Art3mis: "Were making a ramp for the kid, start shooting!"
In which everyone does the same as they aimed at the front of the road, they kept continuing to fire until Mordred. Who was driving dead fast from behind begins ramming at Daito and Sho making them stop as Z notices the boss, he spins the wheel and unload the remaining bullets on Mordred as Lozer looked at the rock formed ramp that was made, it wasn't going to be enough as he wouldn't make it.
Lozer: "Ugh guys? I don't think I'll be able to reach it. I need a boost."
Parzival: "Not a problem, everyone! Throw them at L!"
Telling the group as the five drivers throwed their rocket packs to the rookie as L uses his fuse glove to combine them together, he places it on the top of his kart and activates it making him rocket upwards to the clown head. Taking the right moment he leaps off the kart as Aech fires off his robotic hand to him and grabs his chest and brings him to the hood of Bigfoot. The drivers see the kart go into the clown's head as it soon began to glow green like. It began to shake violently as it soon began to crack, it then grows brighter until it explodes as the rest of the car begins to drive uncontrollable and begins to flip.
Art3mis: "Look out!"
Shouting at everyone as they all drove away from the wreckage of the fortress as it began to flip apart as well fall apart beginning to explodes as the pieces began falling all around them. Mordred was going to try one last attempt and crash into Z but was soon flatten by a missile, the five drivers tried to look for anything that looked like a artifact as Lozers yellow eyes widen seeing a object in the center of the fortress as that had to be it.
Lozer: "Parzival! That's the artifact!"
Telling him loud like as the white hair rider notices it and hits the pedal hard as he makes it right to the object and grabs it, as soon as Parzival grabs it. A portal opened as it was a way to escape, they all drive through it making their way out. Right with everything destroyed and the carnival wrecked, it seemed like Mordred was destroyed, though the missile that feel on Mordred flies off him as well coming out of the ship was the Ultimate angered as well looked upset. He saw the destruction that was made as he groaned at his power being taken away, though he does hear some noise coming from behind him was other drivers as he smiled at them.
Mordred: "Huh, something to ease the loss."
As the avatars looked at Mordred to see if he did the damage as the boss raises his right hand upwards and extends his razor sharp claws in a frightful manner as he was going to have a little fun before retreating in his defeat.
In Halliday's Journals, where most of the creators memories and everything else was stored, the high five was in a secret room where the Curator saw them coming from their first hunt.
Curator: "Ah, I see that you all survived the first boss fight. Though I can tell you smell like burnt rubber and metal."
Sho: "Well we did just came from a dangerous race, so there's that."
Answering him as Parzival walked up to him showing the first artifact of their mission, it glowed bright as it soon changed into a fiery like ice cream cone. it burned brightly as it looked evil. The curator placed it in the vault where it was by the ice wraith's wand.
Daito: "He was after a snack?"
Curator: "The cone of chaos is no mere snack, it could allow him to ignite in hellfire as well bun through any kind of containment."
Lozer: "Cool."
He said stunned at him as he was going to touch it until the robotic butler slaps his hand making him stop as he gave a disapproval look.
Parzival: "Well, thank you for keeping it safe. Will make sure to tell you anything that happens."
Curator: "Due so, as well try to not bring anything that might dirty the floor."
Telling them as he then showed them the way out as the six made their way out of the building as they began to walk back together to the garage to celebrate their first win and how they were able to avoid Mordred from getting his power back.
