A police car drove away from the wreckage of a totaled ice cream truck. Said ice cream truck was on fire and in at least five pieces.

"Hopefully, that psychotic clown will STAY down this time." The male officer, Carl Roberts, driving the police car said before turning to the female officer, his sister. "Just a couple more fights and we'll have won again, Jamie."

The female officer, Jamie Roberts, simply flashed a thumbs-up. She would have given a verbal response, but she was currently without a mouth.

Carl and Jamie were no strangers to the Twisted Metal contest and knew the founder, Calypso, really well. Twisted Metal was a competition of vehicular destruction where the winner would get one wish as a reward. Unfortunately, Calypso was just as sick and twisted as the contest, and often twisted the words of the winner's wish to give himself a good laugh.

In the first contest, Carl entered solo and won. He wished for a world without crime, and Calypso granted the wish by sending both Carl and his car into outer space. Jamie entered the year after and also won, demanding that she see her brother. Calypso granted her wish by sending her into space as well. Thankfully, Jamie had come prepared for Calypso's treachery and managed to get both siblings back to Earth.

However, in the most recent tournament, the two siblings entered together. Jamie was going to wish for the tournament to stop altogether, but Carl was entering to kill Calypso in revenge for what he had done to them. After the two had won, Carl had pulled his gun on Calypso, but Jamie interfered, telling her brother that Calypso needed to be sent to prison for what he had done. This started a heated argument between the two, and it ended when Carl blurted out 'I wish you'd just shut up!'. Naturally, Calypso granted his wish, even though it really wasn't his wish. Calypso sealed Jamie's mouth, and she had been like that ever since.

Now the two had entered Twisted Metal again. Both siblings knew that Calypso was anticipating their wish to be Jamie's mouth unsealed, but unknown to the evil founder, the two police officers were doing a little scheming of their own.

Eventually, the tournament was over. Carl and Jamie had just defeated their final opponent and were approaching Calypso's lair on foot. However, before they got there, they turned to someone hiding in the shadows.

"I kept my end of the bargain and helped you win." A deep voice said from the shadows. "Remember to keep up yours."

"Don't worry. Once Calypso grants our wish, he's all yours." Carl assured.

"I've always thought humans were pathetic, but you two are different." The voice said. "For some reason, I feel compelled to trust you."

Carl and Jamie entered Calypso's lair and saw the long-haired founder of Twisted Metal standing on a platform, waiting for them. He clapped slowly a couple of times.

"I must say that I'm impressed, officers." Calypso said with a smirk. "I don't even think Needles Kane has won as many times as you two."

"We're determined." Carl replied simply. Jamie narrowed her eyes at Calypso, unable to say anything. Calypso saw her predicament and smirked.

"Ah, yes. I remember your last wish." He said with a smirk.

"That wasn't my wish and you know it, Calypso." Carl spat.

"Well, let's forget the past. What's important is the current time." Calypso said. "You two are once again the winners. What is your wish? I take it you want me to give your sister her mouth back?"

Carl smirked back at the evil man. "No."

This wasn't the response Calypso was expecting, as his eyes widened slightly. "No? Then, what is it?" He asked.

"Calypso, I wish for you to give Jamie and I your powers." Carl replied.

Calypso's eyes widened even more. "You can't be serious." He said.

"I'm serious, Calypso." Carl replied. Jamie gave a nod in agreement.

Calypso looked back and forth between the two officers and finally gave in. "Granted." He said as he lifted his hands into the air, sending a blast of energy into each of the Roberts siblings.

When the energy subsided, Carl stood to his feet and clenched his fist. "Alright! I feel so much stronger, now!" He said before looking into the shadows. "He's all yours!"

With that, a huge, inhuman creature with horns jumped onto the scene. Calypso stepped back in horror.

"M-Minion!" Calypso shrieked.

"We made a deal with him, Calypso." Carl explained. "We'd help him get you if he helped us win."

"I can't go!!" Calypso screamed as Minion approached him and started gathering flames in his hands. "If I go, Twisted Metal will cease to exist!!"

"Don't you worry about that, Calypso." Jamie, having used her newfound powers on herself and giving herself her mouth back. "Carl and I are going to take over. We just need to make a few adjustments to the rules."

"First off, we're only going to invite people whom DESERVE the wish." Carl said. "None of those homicidal maniacs you like to invite."

"Next, NO ONE is going to die." Jamie continued. "When a car explodes, we'll get the driver to safety."

"Finally, no words will be twisted in the winner's wish." Carl finished. "We're not going to edit someone's wish just so we can get a cheap laugh, Calypso. We're better than that."

Calypso wasn't exactly paying attention, because Minion had already grabbed him and was lifting him off the ground. The huge creature looked at the Roberts siblings and gave a smile.

"Have fun with the tournament." Minion said. "I'm sure you can run it better than Calypso."

With that, a pillar of fire exploded from the ground beneath Minion, engulfing both him and Calypso. When the fire subsided, both were gone, leaving only the Roberts siblings in Calypso's lair, although it could technically be called theirs now.

"Well, I guess this means that we're the owners of Twisted Metal, now." Jamie shrugged. "What should we do first?"

"Let's do some research and try to find some people worthy of the wish." Carl suggested.

"Okay. Remember that Needles Kane isn't allowed in, now."

"Don't worry. Haven't forgotten. We don't need HIM running around rampant."

Carl and Jamie spent a good while trying to find enough people worthy enough of a wish. After what seemed like a lifetime, they finally had their contestants.

"Shall we send out the invitations, then?" Jamie asked with a smirk.

"Let's do that." Carl nodded.

(Intro to Game)

(Clips of several invitations being delivered are seen. Contestants such as Edgeworth, Tiny, Mona and Sam are seen opening their invitations and reading them.)

"Greeting, contestants. You may not know of us, but we're Carla and Jamie Roberts, owners of a little contest called Twisted Metal." Carl explained.

(Landis is seen reading an invitation in the forest.)

"This is a contest of vehicular destruction, but don't worry. We will see to it that no one shall be killed." Jamie explained.

(The ghost of Mike Dawson is seen reading an invitation in a realm of deceased souls. Bidding farewell to Ben Parker and Aeris, Mike departs.)

"There are sixteen of you, but only one will win the grand prize at the end. A wish. Whatever the winner desires, it will be given to them."

(Sergei is seen reading an invitation in the Rabbid Stadium. His eyes light up.)

"You supply the vehicle ad we'll supply the weapons."

(The next shot shows a stadium, where Outlaw, Mr. Slam, Grasshopper and Firestarter are seen in the four corners of the arena, preparing to start the battle.)

"We wish you good luck in the tournament."

(Grasshopper flies over Outlaw. Sam leans out the window as he drives and shoots a couple of bullets from his handgun into the framework of Sakura's car, but it does little to slow her down. Sam ducks back into his car and swerves to the side to avoid a wrecking ball from Sergei in Mr. Slam.)

"Really. You're all going to need it."

(Driving Firestarter around and turning it so that it faces all three of his opponents, Scorch grins maniacally as he presses a button, firing a huge wave of fire at the opponents.)
