The Accelerated World of Gumball Racing
This fan-fiction takes place in a parallel universe, different than my other stories. BEFORE Satan was defeated. BEFORE Gabriel met the Elmorians, for the first time. Before any of my other fan-fictions, happened.

Background: This fan-fiction takes place in a parallel universe, where Humans, and Elmorian species, live-side by side, and have equal rights and fair treatment. Most of the main characters are in their Junior year of high school. They are about 16-17. All the main characters are SOMEWHAT different than their actual counterparts. I will explain why, in the story. Read along:
Chapter 1: Ignition
Gumball, Darwin, Penny, Carrie, and Gabriel, were all, "friends", who go to high school together.
Gumball came from a mother of 3 total children. His mother never had a lot of time for him, and he didn't always get what he wanted. In his 17 years of growing up, he learned things most people didn't know, and was a very selfless person. He became cynical of most people, and things in the world. He was a little slow to trust, and always thought of the worst outcome when it came to everything.
Darwin was a similar story, except that he was once Gumball's pet fish, now his brother. He was a little more trustful and optimistic than Gumball.
Penny was Gumball's girlfriend. She is 16, and was a cheery, outgoing, and partially optimistic girl.
Carrie, on the other hand, was Darwin's girlfriend, and was more similar to Gumball, which still wasn't that similar. Her parents never paid a lot of attention to her, nor anyone, for that matter. She was emo/goth, intelligent, cynical, slow to trust, and mostly a loner.
Gabriel,17 years old, was the self-proclaimed leader of their group. He was arguably one of the smartest, if not the smartest, and most selfless people in the school. He had confidence issues, and wasn't proud of his appearance. But, he lived his life, trying to be a good person. He had dozens of friends/aquantinces, but he had around 10 main friends.
While they all had their disagreements and differences, they all agreed on several things: They loved science, action, adventure, technology, and fighting against evil and stupidity.
The group was slowly walking out of the school. 7th period was over, and everyone was preparing to walk home, to their respective houses. It was a crisp, cold day, with people chattering, the wind blowing across the neighborhood, and an eery feeling in the air.
"Carrie flicks her hair" Look at all these brain-washed zombies.
Gumball: I know exactly how you feel.
Gabriel: They're Illuminati slaves.
Penny: What are you guys talking about?
Darwin: Yeah, what?
Gabriel: When we have a few hours, we'll explain it to you guys. I'm suprised you don't understand. It's so obvious!
The teens were in the parking lot, walking toward their cars, ready for the day to be over. That is, until Darwin said something:
Darwin: Guys, I heard something pretty interesting.
Gumball: Well, spill it.
Gabe: Please tell us, Darwin.
Darwin: There is going to be street race, out on the edge of the city.
Carrie floated in the air, motionless, blinked her ghostly eyes, and flicked her hair.
Carrie: So? What else is new? Some idiots are going to kill someone in a street race, and get captured by the cops.
Penny: Darwin, are you thinking of doing, what I think you want to?
Gabe: Darwin, the answer is, no!
Darwin: Guys, they aren't just regular street racers!
Gumball: That's a load of bullshit. This ISN'T the Fast and the Furious, Darwin.
Gumball turned to his car, inserting his key.
Darwin: What if I told you, it was?
Gabriel: I highly doubt that, Darwin. I would say, about 90 percent of street racers aren't very nice or intelligent people, that are taking up a heroic cause.
Penny: Guys, at least listen to him.
Darwin: I've been hearing rumors. These guys are professionals. They aren't just racing for fun. They race for a reason!
Darwin stared at the others, with a cold, serious glare.
Darwin: They race, to save the world.
Gumball snickered, rolled his eyes, and said "yeah, and I play video games to save the world"
Darwin: You guys HAVE to believe me! Please! I've heard this from a reliable source!
Gumball: Darwin, we can't just believe you. Besides, even if we do go, we could kill someone, get in trouble, or we could get killed. These guys a gangsters, for all we know-
Darwin: They're not! They're heroes!
Gabe: Guys, I have an idea.
The "team" members glanced in Gabriel's direction. Whenever he spoke, they know he was going to say something meaningful. Silence filled the air, as they listened.
Gabe: I say, we go over there, and validate Darwin's claims. It's worth a damn try! We could get killed, but only if we're not careful. If Darwin's wrong, then we can call the cops, and deliver justice. If not, then we can become a part of something bigger than ourselves! This is our chance! Aren't you guys sick and tired of school, and actually want to DO something, with your lives?! We can stand here debating this, for hours, but I prefer actually DOING, this!
The others nodded, and formulated a plan. They called their parents, and said, they wanted to spend the night, with their friends. They weren't lying.
The main characters all got into their respective cars, and started their engines.
Gumball got into his blue Mustang. Darwin got inside an orange Nissan. Carrie drove a black corvette, and Penny drove a pink convertible. And finally, Gabriel got inside his light-blue Tesla Roadster. It was a hell of a pain for all of them to buy and save up, for their cars. But, in the end, it was worth it. The cars were qupped with new, next generation entertainment and protection technology, for several situations. The satisfying part, was turning the key, hearing their vehicle roar to life, engine working, then slamming the door, putting on a seatbelt, and putting the pedal to the medal. They all loved their cars, like family.
After about an hour, the group arrived at a cliffside, by the beach, past the edge of town. The waves washed against a high cliff, the Sun setting behind the waves, and the chirping of seaguls. The cliffside area was flat-out black.
The Elmorians found a large, open area, on the cliffside. There, they saw around 2 dozen parked cars, in different positions. People and species were standing, quitely chatting, with almost complete silence. The Elmorians drove into the open area, then calmly got out of their cars. Nearly all 2 dozen people were watching them. Some looked angry, suspicious, happy, or random combinations of both. A tense feeling filled the air. There were racers of several backgrounds, in varied clothing.
A mexcian-looking racer approached the group of 5. He had relavitely long, black hair, orange clothing, and black eyes.
Nolo:Who the fuck are you?
Gabriel: Is that seriously how you greet spectators?
Darwin: "shaking finger" Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Nolo: Whoever the hell you guys are, you leave, NOW! This isn't for kids.
Carrie floated directly in-front of Nolo's face, repeatedly poked his chest as she talked, and talked down to him.
Carrie: In-case you haven't noticed, you dumbass, around half of the people here are teenagers. And, you don't look much older, than us, hypocrite!
Nolo: I apologize. But, get out, this is serious business!
Penny: Just how serious?
Nolo: I can't tell you-
Next, a tall, African-American man, with spiky black hair, large fists, and a red-shirt, walked towards the group.
Tork: Hey, Nolo! Let the kids watch, AT LEAST!
Nolo: Tork, we can't!
Gabriel: Everyone, shut the fuck up! We're watching you, whether you like it or not!
Tork: I like this kid's attitude.
Another racer approached the group. He had white skin, blonde hair, a blue racing jacket, and black sunglasses.
"Allow me to introduce myself", he smiled. My name is Dan.
A feeling of mystery was introduced, into the air, and everyone felt it. Mostly, Gumball and Gabriel.
He offered his hand to Gumball, who then shook it.
Gumball: Pleased to meet you. Forgive me, but I don't exactly trust you.
Dan: That's understandable. Tell you what, if you guys, "finger quotes" behave, and maybe race us, we'll tell you what's going on.
Nolo: Dan, you can't be serious!
Tork: Nolo, let Dan do his thing.
Dan: I see potential in you people. Now sit back, relax, and prepare to watch.
Nolo stormed off to his car, in anger, after shoving Tork.
Nolo: Kurt Wylde, take my place! I'm too pissed, to race!
Kurt: Will do, Nolo!
That is the end of Chapter 1. Stay tuned, for Chapter 2! Please follow, favorite, and review.
