OK, so... I started writing this a many years ago, so the grammar etc is NOT up to standard... In fact, it's pretty shitty. So, y'no, if you review this, then can you leave out talk of grammar and punctuation etc.

I started to write this when I discovered Wipeout Fusion and developed a huge crush on Feisar's lead pilot, Daniel Johnson. I used to RP as the character Rachel Johnson (His g/f-wife.) and I became quite well known around many Wipeout Communities, including the official one... People seemed to fall in love with the Rachel Johnson character and adopted her as if she was an actual Wipeout Fusion character.

Anywho, without further a-don't... Enjoy. ; (If you can put up with all the 'saids' and terrid grammar... Yes, I actually used the non-word 'terrid' just then.) Think I might re-write this one day... Thoughts?

WipEout of the hero.

A WipEout story…

Chapter 1

The New Race Season.

January, and the new season for F9000 racing had just begun.

AG Systems, due to its failure was taken over and became G-Tech, Feisar had just signed up a new pilot and other teams were raring to go.

It all began with a big ceremony and lots of fireworks.

After that, the teams got into their ships and got ready for the first race of the season.

The only original teams that had managed to survive were Feisar and Auricom, with their good all round ships and great pilots

Feisar's new pilot had caught all of the F9000's fans attention, in some peoples opinion he has been a little over-hyped.

Especially in the opinion of Feisar's Ex leading pilot, he lost his leading position because of him.

The name of the old lead pilot was Carlos Beneto, he had been the lead pilot for fifteen years and the name of the newcomer was Daniel Johnson who had just moved up to F9000 racing.

The first race was about to start and the ships were getting ready along with the pilots.

Carlos and Daniel were side by side on the starting grid and kept staring at each other in a menacing kind of way.

They had fire in their eyes as the count down began.

"GO"!

They zoomed off into the sunset racing each other to see who was the best and firing weapons at anyone who got in the way.

Feisar thought that it would do the team good, because of the rivalry, they would have more successes.

Towards the end of the race they were pretty beat up.

Just as they got to the finishing line someone shot a missile and it hit Daniel straight on causing his ship to explode.

"Dammit", he moaned as he was rescued.

Carlos sailed on to the finish line with a smug look on his face.

In the changing rooms, all the pilots had just had a shower and had got changed into different clothes.

Carlos walked in acting all high and mighty and glared at Daniel in a horrible way, Daniel had just got out the shower and had a towel resting on his shoulder and was wearing nothing but his trousers.

He growled as Carlos walked by, so he grabbed his towel and squeezed it hard nearly ripping it.

Carlos turned round and smirked.

"Ah well, some you win some you loose, eh Danny boi".

Daniel quivered with anger.

"Don't think I'll take it easy on you next race", he growled.

Nami Mishima, Van-Uber's female pilot, walked by staring at them both.

"Teehee, don't get too angry now, we don't want explosions in the changing rooms, save it for the track", she laughed.

They both gave her the evil eye.

"S-sorry", she said running off.

Suddenly the silence was broken by the sound of someone muttering to their selves, but this time it wasn't Daniel.

They both looked towards the showers.

There stood G-Tech's lead pilot, Roberto Sergio, in front of the huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

"Ooh, aren't I gorgeous", he boasted.

"Uhm, if I was a bulldog, I'd say yes", smirked Daniel as he walked by him towards the door.

"Oh, very funny DJ", said Roberto sarcastically.

"Hehe", he laughed back.

Carlos followed towards the door and smacked Roberto across the ear as he walked by.

"Hey!", shouted Roberto, "What was that for?"

"For being you", he replied.

Danni laughed.

Later that day, Daniel had to go and see the Feisar boss about something.

He walked through a big warehouse type place where they had people from as young as 1 to even 60, training them to be pilots.

He stood there and watched them all.

There was a woman with a picture book holding it in front of a little baby.

It had pictures of ships and engine parts as well.

Suddenly he was tapped on the leg.

He looked down and there stood a little boy in a Feisar suit.

"Hi", he said.

He then handed Daniel a little note.

"Hmm", he said as he looked at the note, the kid ran off.

He opened the letter.

It said: To

Daniel Johnson

You ar soo cuul, I wanna b u.

From

Tobi

He smiled as he read it.

Suddenly a girl in a racing suit approached him.

"Hi", she said, "I've always wanted to meet you".

"Oh…", said Daniel who was pretty shocked, "Who are you"?

"Oh, sorry", she said smirking, "I'm Rachel Prince".

"Oh, hi", he said shaking her hand, "nice to meet you".

"Likewise", she said smiling.

"So, what are you then?", he asked.

"Oh, heh, I'm a rookie pilot", she said.

"Really, how good are you?", he asked her.

"Uhm, not good at all, I really want to be Feisars lead pilot, but, I'm not good enough".

"Oh, come on, don't put yourself down so much", Daniel said.

"But it's true", she said back, "uhm, I was wondering though, when you have time, can I have a race with you?"

"Oh, yeah sure", he said, "When do you want to race"?

"Whenever", she said.

"Well, I gotta go talk with the boss bout something, so, when I get back, I have a few minutes spare", he said smiling.

"YAY, thank you thank you thank yoouu", said Rachel jumping around on the spot, she then hugged him all of a sudden.

"Woah", he said stunned.

"Ahem, sorry, I sometimes do that", she said.

"Well, I gotta go see the boss now, so I'll meet you here after and we can go racing ok?", he said.

"Ok", said Rachel smiling.

He walked off towards the staircase that leaded to the boss's office.

Rachel had a stunned look on her face and her mouth was wide open as well as smiling.

A bunch of kids crowded round her.

"WOAAAH", shouted one kid.

"WOW", exclaimed Rachel.

In the Feisar boss's office, Daniel had just started talking.

"Yeah, its really weird, I got to my ship today, and it had been sabotaged, someone's got it in for me", he explained.

The boss rubbed his chin and stared back at Daniel making him feel uncomfortable.

"Just keep your eyes peeled and always check your ship before racing, if we find who did it we will arrest them", he said.

"Ok", agreed Daniel.

He got up and walked out the office.

"Man, even a carpet maker would give me that advice, I'm no better off now", he thought.

He walked towards where he was supposed to meet this Rachel character.

He glanced in front of him and there she was, but she was giving some kids dancing lessons.

He looked puzzled at her and said hello.

"Oh, hi", she said, "sorry, I was just helping out some friends of mine".

"Oh, no problem", he smiled, "you ready?"

"Yep, lemmie just get my helmet", she said.

So they went to a little practice track out the back of the warehouse.

"Hmm", said Daniel, "this brings back memories, but, it's too small".

"What do you mean?" asked Rachel Puzzled.

"Its tiny, I mean, look at it", he pointed to it, "hardly any bends whatsoever and its not big enough to actually race".

He grabbed her arm and dragged her towards a proper race course.

"Eep", she shouted looking at the foreboding track, "I can't, I'm not experienced enough".

"Come on, it'll be fun", he said smiling at her.

"Ok, I'll try it", she said putting her helmet on.

"Here", said Daniel handing her an ear piece, "then I can talk to you as we go round the track".

"Thanks", she said taking the earpiece.

"Also, clip this microphone to your suit, then you can talk to me too", he said.

"Ok", she said clipping it to her suit.

So they got into their ships.

Over the earpiece came Daniel's voice.

"Are you ok?", he asked her looking into her cockpit.

"Uhm, yes, just a little nervous that's all", she replied.

"Hey, don't worry, you'll do just fine, I know it, heh, helloooo, hi, I can see you", he smirked.

Rachel slowly frowned as if to say WHAT is he on about?.

"Uhm…ok", she said.

"Look to your left, if you think I'm crazy", he laughed.

So she looked to the left.

"GASP", she gasped in surprise, "you almost gave me a heart attack".

"Hey, don't be so jumpy", he said.

"Sorry", I'm nervous", she started crying.

"Hey, look, its gonna be great, you'll probably beat me, would it be better if we had no weapons", he asked.

"Yeah, it would help", she sniffled, "I don't think I could fire at you".

"Ok, just dry your tears and we will start ok", he said.

"Yeah", she said wiping her eyes.

Some people who had over heard them back in the building had decided to come and watch.

They had even hooked up some loud speakers so they could hear what they were saying in their ships.

"Ok", lets start the count down", he said.

He waved to his buddy in the tower, he started the count down.

"GO"!

They both blasted off.

They drifted round the corners and round loops and corkscrews perfectly.

"Nice", said Daniel to Rachel.

She did surprisingly well for a beginner.

At the end they slowed down and got out their ships.

They met on the side of the track.

"I DID IT I DIIIID IIIIT", shouted Rachel leaping around, "I WOOONNN".

"Yes, you won", exclaimed Daniel smiling at her.

"WOOHOO", she shouted, she then grabbed him again and hugged him tightly, "YAAAAY"!

"WELL DONE", he said hugging her back.

"Ahem", they both grunted as they realized that they were hugging.

"I thought you were amazing back there, in fact, I thought you were that good, I think I'm gonna recommend you to the boss", he smiled.

"W-woah, really", she exclaimed.

"Yes", he replied.

He walked off and she followed.

"So", she said, "How old are you are you married, if so, how many kids"?

"Age…", he said, "Not telling, single and I want kids, there that's me".

"Oh cool", she said trying to keep up because he was walking fast.

"How bout you", he asked her.

"Uhm, heehee, age, not tellin, single and want kids" , she answered.

"Oh", he said, "cool".

"Hey, I gotta get back to the warehouse now, so, I'll see you around ok", she said stopping.

He turned around and looked at her.

"Uhh, yeah, ok, no problem", he said.

There was a short pause after he finished his sentence.

"Ok", she whispered smiling.

"Yup", he said quietly.

"I'll see you around", she said.

"Uh huh, see you around", he said back.

"Yes", she said shuffling around a bit.

"I agree, yes", he said back.

There was another pause as they looked back at each other and smiled.

"Ok…", said Daniel.

"Yeah ok", she replied.

"Well, see you then", she smiled softly.

"Yep, see ya", he said giving her a little wave.

"Bye", she said quietly.

"Adios", he said.

"Bye", she replied.

"Bye", he said.

"Uh huh, ok", she said.

"Why aren't you going, I thought you had to go back", he said.

"I have, but you're the one who's standing around", she said.

"Huh", he said puzzled, "Oh…".

"Hmm, see ya", she said turning and slowly walking off.

"Bye", he said walking away slowly as well.

They walked back towards each other.

"You know what, its this way", they both said looking at each other and swapping courses.
