XXXXX Tecna
Vader: Target spotted, Osama Bin Laden is in sight. Humans of this era of the 21st century have $5 million on his head. Quite a great price, eh? (She turns to the camera lady, Mystic Assassin {Her real name is Tecna)
Tecna: Think about opening a small bureau with that kind of cash. We could have more members!
(Mystic Assassin, carrying a video camera leaps over buildings and follows her friend Vader, Diablo flies overhead, Osama Bin Laden then escapes through the bright light flashing many colors)
Osama Bin Laden: Those girls will never find me here!
Vader: After him! (They leap into the light and the light sizzles for a while and begins to wobble)
( Tecna is a bit slower and she leaps in as it closes, as she does that, the light wobbles some more and closes with a whoosh, the camera shows all the colors then blacks out)
"Ouch!" moans Tecna as she sits up on the ground. Where ever she was, it was somewhere she's never been to before. She sat on sand in the middle of the desert, only things in sight was a road and the shattered camera. The night sky clear with a velvet finish.
"Rats" she muttered, she will have to get another camera and she won't be able to get her video log up to date. She smiled however, that meant she could go back to being a journalist again for Vader. Writing instead of holding a camera that made her arms tired. But, where is Vader? She was nowhere in sight.
She began to take note on what she had with her: A small backpack with her clothes, spare knives, torch, notebook, pens, rope, cloak, spanner, First-aid kit, Speakers, MP3 player, Swiss army knife, swimmers, her case of Medals and 3 different wigs. She was armed with throwing knives and a short sword.
"Well, I guess I'll have to start walking" she started, she suddenly heard some engine rumbling from behind her. Strange, she turned behind her but saw nothing but a boulder behind her. She didn't see where she was going and she tripped and rolled over the side of a small cliff and fell with a thump.
"What is that?" she heard a voice
The ground was hard, hot asphalt from the road. She heard 3 more rumbling noises. Her body ached all over, after that short fall, it still hurt from the burning heat of the road. She got up slowly and faced the right. Stretching, she walked on her way. She could see in the distance a small town. Finally, she thought, civilization! But the motor vehicles sound could still be heard. What the hell? I'm only like 2 meters away, she thought. She kept walking however, she lowered her hand towards the throwing knives on her belt.
"Hey Wingo, let's scare it"
"No way! Let's squish it"
Then there were multiple revving coming from behind her. She began to run, but they were gaining on her. She suddenly heard some sirens, Police! They were after her! She ran even faster. The events for the past few minutes passed through her as she tried to figure out what's happening. Not a trace of a human. She didn't her the crunching of human feet on gravel at all. Wherever she was, there were no humans. But then, what lived there?
She then dared to sneak a glance at what was behind her, and to her shock she saw what pursed her: Cars! But what pursued those shiny and colorful cars was an old black and white police cruiser. She then looked around and WHACK! She ran into the back of a rusty tow truck. She clambered onto the top of it and faced the cars. They weren't ordinary cars, they were laughing. They were alive! Four of them! But so was the Police cruiser! What's going on?
Seeing them turn around and running from the police cruiser (Thus, forgetting her) she withdrew some throwing knives. Aiming carefully, she threw one knife at the rear tire of the cars. Finally, they were caught. She didn't realize that the rusty tow truck also followed the chase.
"Serves them right" she snickered. As they were getting ushered into jail as the tow truck entered the town, she waved with a wicked smile.
"We'll get you for this" was the message in the eyes of one of the cars.
The rusty tow truck went to the scrap yard not too far from the jail and town. As soon as it stopped she looked for a place to hide without being seen. She sighed and slept in a garage, little did she know that the tow also parked in the garage too…..
"AAAAAAHHHH, the ghost light!" she sat up with a shock as she then realized that the rusty tow truck was also was alive. When he screamed, she screamed above him
"Will you cut it out, I'm trying to sleep"
This made it scream some more. Only this time it was looking at her.
"What are you?" he screamed. She held her hands up in surrender and stroked his engine.
"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you" she said in a calm voice.
He began to calm down, her felt the softness of her skin on his engine and the hint of terror behind her gentle chocolate brown eyes. Her hair shone blue in the night.
"What are you?" he asked again with a calmer voice.
"I'm a human"
"A human?"
"Yes, My name is Tecna and honestly, I'm more scared of you than you are scared of me"
"Well, dadgum," the tow truck calmed down and realized that she meant no harm. ", My name is Mater"
"Nice to meet you Mater"
"Say, are you lost?"
"Well, yes I am. Me and my friend, Vader have been separated during our travels to different universes and I don't know how I can get back to my main world. Can I please stay here for a while?"
"Well, a lost lil' thing like you can sure use another good friend."
She smiled and thanked him. It was going to be a long day tomorrow.
"Goodnight Mater"
THE NEXT MORNING...
Next morning she woke up, Mater was gone. She looked outside and then saw Mater and a few other cars crowding around the door. There were 11 more pairs of eyes staring at her. At this she shrank back into the garage and hid in the darkest corner. The Cruiser and jeep were the most intimidating of all of them.
"Hey, Sarge and the Sheriff won't hurt ya. Come on out Tecna"
Picking up her bag she crept out of the back and ran for her life. She snuck around the metal sheets and was careful to avoid anything that gave her away. But then she tripped over a rod and tumbled into a pile of junk, a loud clatter alerted the other cars and they soon arrived, they saw a small figure trapped under a pile of mess. She climbed out of the mess and straightened her jacket and picked up her bag. She stood up, disoriented and dizzy with that hard knock on the head.
"H-hel-lo" she stammered as she stumbled backwards into the corner. They surrounded her staring at the strange creature before them.
"Hello hun, "Said a green car, "My name is Flo, Mater told us about you"
"My name is Doc, I was also known as the Hudson Hornet" said one of the blue cars. He had an elderly voice.
"My name is Lightning Mcqueen" Said the red race car
After a while of introduction, she began to talk. As she kept on walking towards them, she felt a lot of pain in her arm.
"AAAAH!"
"What's the matter?" asked Sheriff.
"My arm," she turned her arm over and saw a huge gash on her arm. The cars gasped at the sight of a red liquid running down her arm. She cleaned her wound and wrapped her scarf around it. They realized that she is among the gentle types of things, damaged so easily like glass.
"Are you okay?" asked Sally.
"It's okay now, I'm feeling a bit better"
"So how did you get here in the first place?" asked Lightning Mcqueen.
"Well, it's a long story. I was doing a mission in another world. Me and Vader are interuniverse Assassins-" The Cars gasped at the thought of someone like that girl being a political influence. "Well, I follow my friend Vader around, who is an Assassin, I'm learning from her. We target major Criminals and watch over the citizens of the worlds until they are okay be by themselves"
After telling what happened, Flo was the first to speak up.
"Hun, do you want something? I got the best Gas in the county"
"Ah, no thanks Flo, I don't consume gas, I consume things that are more organic" She looked around and found an apple tree with blood red Apples. She leapt over the fence and picked one and took a bite into it. It was so sweet and juicy that she finished it.
She threw the core away and climbed back over the fence. Flo and the other cars escorted her towards Flo's V8 Café. When she arrived she sat down on the ground and Flo continued serving barrels of oil to the others. Suddenly, Flo spotted something and told her to hide somewhere. She ran behind Sarge and kept quiet as more engines could be heard.
"Mr Tex, Strip, Lynda hi, what are all you doing here?"
"Lightning," came a country accent "We just wanted to visit you"
"I wanted to thank you again for helping my husband finish the race" came a female voice.
"How's the crew? Are you going to compete in the next Piston Cup?" came another male voice.
They seemed to chat for hours on end then Sally then had a very strange feeling, she gave that look to Filmore who passed it to Flo. They looked behind Sarge and realized that Tecna was gone. Where was she? Little did they know that she was hiding above the gas station. She made her way along a thin beam above the brown Cadillac Coup de vile, Plymouth Super bird and Chrysler station wagon
Time for some fun, she thought with a cheeky smile. Using her legs, she hung upside down above the brown Cadillac coup de vile called Tex. Mcqueen, Sally, and Mater noticed her pulling faces behind him and stared to stare at him blankly and trying to hold back their laughter. Mater giggled at the prank she was pulling.
"Lightning," Tex asked with a bit of annoyance ", what are you staring at?" He turned around but saw nothing. Tecna pulled herself up in time. He turned around again. They kept going on with the conversation and when Lynda had her turn to speak, Tecna became a lot more daring. She tapped her on the back and pulled herself up again.
"Honey," she asked her husband.
"Hmm?"
"I just felt something tap me, do you feel something?"
As if in a quick answer, Tecna smacked his roof and quickly flipped up and gave the cars that are looking at her a wicked smile.
"N-yes, I did feel something"
Mater couldn't help it and burst out laughing. This was hard, because Tecna was about to burst out laughing too.
"Okay," Strip was getting a bit edgy ",Whatever is goin here, it isn't funny anymore"
Tecna had another idea. She jumped down and held onto Strip's huge spoiler. She did a few flips on the spoiler (to her, it's a gymnastics bar), hung upside down and did a few tricks. Mater and the other cars that were facing him stared with eyes wide open. Amazing, thought Mater. Strip's eyes were beginning to narrow. Whatever is going on here, he thought, is really getting to me now.
Suddenly Lynda screamed "Honey, there's something on your rear"
Tecna pulled a face. Lynda pointed with her tire at his spoiler. Tex then looked and saw her there and tried to get her off. Strip, now in panic was driving all over the road trying to get her off.
Woo, Tecna thought, A rodeo! "Yeeee Haaa" she exclaimed with a smile.
"Oh my god! It talks" exclaimed Lynda.
Mater drove up to the wide eyed veteran. "Don't worry sir, I'll get her off" He tied his cable around her waist and she let go, laughing. Mater went hysterical.
"Dadgum, you are funny! Doing pranks as a human must be fun"
"Yeah it is, I'm usually the distraction when my friend does her thing"
"It's the oldest trick in the books" they said together and laughed.
The new cars stared wide eyed at that strange thing Mater caught. It's smaller than them, thinner and, just….strange. However, it doesn't seem to be the type that'll do much damage to anyone.
Seeing them with that look of 89% annoyance and a bit of curiosity, Tecna ran behind Lightning blushing with a bit of shame and a bit of fear. Those weren't her targets anyway, so maybe her reason of doing so is for the sake of fun and to keep the morale up. What will they do to her? Oh god, she thought, they were going to kill me!
"What is that?" all three of them asked.
"Well, she is my new bestest friend, well, lightning is, she's second. Her name is Tecna, she's a human"
"Well, can we see her?" asked Tex.
"It's alright Tecna, they won't hurt you"
Now, they weren't annoyed or enraged, but now curious at this new thing. Tecna slowly crept out from behind lightning. She hung her head down in shame, but also in a bit of homesickness. She really wanted to be with Vader, She always covered her backside when she was in trouble and knows what to do, but is happy that mater had become her new friend and covered her too. Okay, she thought, here it goes. She looked at them with a bit of a puppy dog look.
"Hello Tecna, my name is Tex," said the Cadillac "This is Strip and his wife Lynda" he said as he pointed to them with his tire. They all said hello.
"Hi, my name is Tecna. I'm a 15 years old and from the country of Australia, well, in my world anyway" She recounted her story to them in a sad tone.
"And now, I just need to find a way home. Can you help me?"
Tex nodded, so did all the other cars.
"Hey, can you tell me more about yourself, you are the most interesting thing since the Piston cup incident last year"
"Yes, tell us" asked Lynda.
"I was wondering, what is this Piston Cup?" Tecna asked.
"It's a very prestigious race. Everyone watches it" said Strip "I was a 7 time champion"
"I won 3 in a single season" said Doc.
"Wow, that sounds kinda fun" said Tecna. "I won 3 V8 supercar races in Sydney a few years ago, I've been in motor cycle races and came 2nd in all 12 of them. I'm a dancer and climber. I've been in the Olympic games, succeeding 3rd place in Gymnastics, Taekwondo, Judo, swimming, Iceskating, Shooting, Weightlifting and Archery" she took out her case of Medals and laid them on the hoods of the three cars. All of them were still shiny.
"No wonder" said Tex with a smile.
"I was also sponsored by Dinoco in my world" Tecna took out her V8 and motorcyclist jumpsuit. Plastered on the front and back of the suit was the Dinoco symbol.
"I did these sports before I became an Assassin"
All of them gaped at that. After packing her things away and telling them everything, she was exhausted. The afternoon sun burned down on her back. The Cars were talking about her, they all wondered what was it like to be a human and be in other worlds. They suddenly heard her snoring, she was curled near Lynda's left and Strip's right tire.
"Oh dear, it seems we tired her out" said Flo
"I can offer her a cone" said Sally.
Strip nudged her gently. "How many times do I have to tell you mum, I'm tired, give me a few more minutes" Tecna mumbled and turned the other way.
"Guido, can you pick her up and take her to Cone 4?" asked Sally. Guido carefully picked up the sleeping figure and quickly drove to her Cone. It almost looked like those drama movies where the guy is carrying a dead or dying girl to safety. But this time it was different, it was a little blue forklift.
THE NEXT MORNING...
Tecna dreamed that she was back in Australia on the race course.
"You can do it Tecna" said her mother, also the owner of Dinoco, rubbing her shoulders. She slipped on her helmet and slipped on "Baby", a blue and purple motorcycle. Riding onto the track, the crowd cheered.
"Well here she is, the legend herself. Tecna, the world's youngest Motorcyclist on the track this year" the announcer announced. At that time, she was only 13 and competing the adults. She was the face of Dinoco in that world. She rode in front of the rest of the riders and smiled. Her home was the race track…..
XXXXXXX
She woke up with the sun in her eyes. She remembered what happened the day before and yawned. She slipped out in her racer jumpsuit and began to look around. All the residents were still in bed, next door she could hear Lynda and her husband snoring softly. She crept around, suddenly, behind her cone, she found her motorcycle and helmet parked behind it. She looked at it and sure enough it wasn't alive. Thank god!
She rode her bike down to Willie's Bute and started her engine. Yes, she could feel the rumbling of it under her backside. Starting to zoom towards the sloped wall she felt the wind hitting her face. Pulling the protective screen down, she drove on the slope. She tipped at the top and did a 360 and a hang-ten. She rode down again and sped up, turning each corner with precision. Dirt flew past her and it almost looked like a sports model photo. She did another, this time hanging off the side of the bike looking backward, jumping off her bike at the bumps in the road and doing a headstand on her bike. She finished 3 rounds and sighed.
"It's good to have you back" she said as she patted her bike. She then heard some applauding. Turning, she saw her friends from yesterday arrive. She took off her helmet and her blue hair blew in the dusty wind.
"That's incredible"
"Awesome"
"How did you do that?"
She took a bow and smiled and took off her gloves and showed her hands. "Real hands, get yourself some and I'll show you". She rode her way back to the town without her helmet, she missed her old racing days.
"Chick at 9' o clock" said Lightning. The cars drove on the left of her in a straight line. She got off her bike and went around the back of the buildings towards the motel. She saw down the road that the race cars were arguing with a green car. She didn't want to hear or see it, it reminded her of her parents arguing before they got a divorce. It's a feeling that began to fade away slowly: Sadness. It wasn't so bad, but there were painful memories in it. She went into her room and took a nap…..
XXXXXXXX
"Last lap, who will make it?" the announcer said over the PA system. Tecna was rounding the corner, nearly at the finish. It's all mine, she thought. Just 150 meters away and counting. Suddenly, there was a screeching sound coming from behind her. The yellow Shell race car was swerving all over the road along with other cars that tailed her. She saw that the tires burst and all the other cars were hit by the yellow were also swerving all over the road.
"The only way out, is forward" she said. Stepping further on the pedal, she tried outrun it, but a tire that fell off a car rolled out in front and she bumped into it and her car tumbled and crashed along with all the other cars into the centre of the Coarse. It was the biggest crash in racing history. All the competitors were caught in the crash. She was in a coma for a year with a permanent scar on her back. 3 others were in a coma, 5 died and the rest were seriously injured. The doctors believed that she wouldn't survive….
XXXXXXXXXX
Tecna shot up in a cold sweat and screamed. This alerted Sally, Lynda, Strip, Tex and Lightning. They drove in front of the Cone.
"What's wrong?" asked Sally
Tecna cried with her face buried in front of her legs. It was a horrible memory, her life flashed before her eyes. She was lucky to be alive. Multiple times during her coma, she died. Thanks to the doctors, she hung on.
"I don't want to die" she cried
"There, there, what's wrong?" asked Tex in a calm fatherly voice
"Well, I was doing a race in the V8 supercars race a long time ago before I won, and then one of the cars started to swerve behind the others and knocked them off, I tried to escape but….*Sniff* I got hit too! All of us, all of us were involved in the crash. I-I- I nearly died. 5 racers died, I was among the few that were knocked into a coma, I lost the race and-and-" She cried some more.
Sally rummaged through her bag and found a scrapbook, in it were all the newspaper clippings and things about her and then she found an article
"BREAKING NEWS: Racer Tecna and other racers are involved in a mass collision, Tecna, the youngest is in a very unstable condition"
The Next Headline read: "Tecna is in a coma with 3 others, 5 others died and the rest are in a serious condition"
The next headline was a year later: "Tecna's mother, owner of Dinoco decides to cut life support to her daughter"
The next headline read minutes from the other: "Tecna miraculously awakens after a year in an unstable coma, where she died 7 times. The doctors were about to cut the life support but she awakened in time. Fans are rejoicing with her long fight with death. She is starting her rehabilitation next week after such a trauma"
Next headline read a few months later: "Tecna is races again and came in first in the V8 race. The country is amazed at how she got up again. "Wow, this girl can kick back. Go gal!" says punk singer P!nk who is a singer at the V8 supercars"
"Oh my god!" said sally. She showed the clippings to the other cars. They gasped at the horror that nearly befell her. Strip drove up to her and nudged her gently.
"Hey, I know how you feel. I nearly died in a crash in the Piston Cup"
Tecna looked up, her eyes are red from crying. "You do?" she murmured.
"Yes, I was finishing the final lap and then Chick Hicks pushed me and I crashed too. I took a long time to recover from the mental Trauma"
"Yes, but this was with a brush with death. Once a human is too battered up, they can die. There are no replacements. You guys can get a new engine, body or something, but human parts cannot be replaced. Some people just can't get over the mental trauma" She unzipped her jumpsuit and lifted up her shirt. She showed them the scar from the crash.
"That's horrible," said Lynda ",You can sleep with us for the night"
"I- I don't know how to thank you" Tecna stammered as she tried to stop crying.
"That's alright, I had to comfort my husband when he was recovering from that crash"
She lead the tired girl into her cone and Tecna was curled up behind them.
"Poor thing, she was nearly killed in an accident" said Lynda to Strip.
"I know, how does she cope? I mean, she does a lot of life threatening sports. I guess it just keeps her distracted for a while"
"Not only that, she had a really rough life, she nearly died in a crash, doing jobs that have a political influence, and now stuck without a family or friend to help her"
"What can we do to help her?"
"I really don't know, She'll have to pull through"
As Lynda said that, Strip and Lynda felt something on their back tires. Tecna held their tires and smiled before slipping into sleep.
"Thanks for letting me stay here, I love you" she mumbled as she fell into a peaceful sleep.
That's how I found my new foster family, they also come with me on missions sometimes. They are the best family I could think of. My mother died of Cancer, so that's was when my older brother inherited Dinoco of my world. I ran away with Vader, who I met on one of my races. She offered me a position and when I felt like it, I could come with her. I kinda had a crush on Tex. I mean, he's kinda cute, so is Mater, I like him too. I dunno who to like the most...
Please Review! I love feedback, without it, I've wouldn't have made it this far in my illustrious career as an Assassin!
We don't own the characters from Cars, I don't own the idea of Assassin's creed. But I do own Vader, Diablo and myself!
