ULTIMATE! CROSSOVER DEAD HEAT BATTLES

Reason:

Before I went to describe the story, I wanted to tell you that this crossover fic is mainly focused on the arcade racing game called Dead Heat (Maximum Heat in Japanese) by Namco Bandai. Just to remember because this is a fic, so the cars used probably won't found be on real arcade game (yet, some can be found on Japanese, some on US version, but all be found in real life) and it means also some advancement (which also won't be found in Dead Heat, but possibly may be found on another racing arcade game).

Note:

Driver name – Car – Transmission (AT for automatic and MT for manual. If not playing, it'd be called as AI)

Chapter 2: Surprising Comeback! Blue Devil, The Witches's Saviour – Present Day

Without any time to waste, Weda, Maloney and the 501st walked into Timezone. Weda was quite surprised to saw everything was quite changed from the pervious Dead Heat game, save for the place. The new arcade version of Dead Heat was now having eight cabinets, but still contained like the same Dead Heat last time.

"Well, I heard that they still use pin. But that will be for this day only. So let's buy the passport," said the man wore the Nike shirt and grey trouser to his, possibly, girlfriend. Hearing that, Weda walked to the counter with the 501st and asked about the passport's price.

"That's fifty thousand rupiah," said the cashier.

"Fine. At least I use mine," Weda just sighed as he gave the money to the cashier.

"Darn it, we don't have that much money!" the orange-red haired girl, called as Shirley, shouted. She suddenly surprised to see Minna gave the five hundred dollars to the cashier.

"Excuse me, maam. I need to go to the money changer I guess," the cashier said. Every member of 501st, even Maloney, and some foreign people jaw dropped by that, save for Weda, Eila, and Russian white haired girl. She went to the money changer near Margo to get the exchange. After ten minutes, she gave Minna the exchange.

"That's kinda weird," said Eila as she and the Russian white haired girl were sweatdropped by that view.

"Yasalam," was Weda's voice as he facepalmed, giving Eila a curiousity look.

"What's "yasalam"?" Eila asked inncoently to Weda.

"Seriously, all of these 501st members need some adaptation to this slang and this technology," Weda thought as he sweatdropped and gave his quite shocked look. "Oh, yasalam is as well as the same word as geez that commonly used by Shirley or to express some strange things," Weda said.

"I see. Do you ever play Dead Heat? Because I heard you explain some of it to Sanya," Eila asked back.

"Oh, yes. But I'll show it how to play. Yeah, Perrine can play. But seriously she lost because she doesn't expect to play that near her idol, Mio Sakamoto. And for her, it's quite an awkward time," Weda said but he whispered about the Perrine's part to Eila. Eila just giggled, hearing that.

After that, Weda quickly went to very far right from the cabinet and began put the card on card holder which scans automatically. The next thing, Weda steer to the far right to the "transfer identity from pin". He then began to input his pin which resembles his birthday. However, Eila was quite surprised to see that Weda's pin is somewhat made her remember the strongest member of 501st who throw the pot to Trevor Maloney, Gertrud Barkhorn.

"Let's see…" Weda said as he saw Trevor Maloney who sat beside him on the third cabinet. "You pick the place sir," he said calmly as he choiced his infamous blue Corvette ZR1 in Manual Transmission.

"Well, he's quite a gamer. But compared to me, he's nothing," thought Maloney as he saw Weda's very enjoyable face. "Well, I'll pick Dover'44, to beat you all," said Maloney as he chosen Dover'44 as his track.

However, some people who sat on opposite cabinets are choosing their own track.

"Gah, you won't. I'll show you touge," said the blonde and spike harired guy as he choose Lake Akina as his choice.

"I'll pick the same then, Keisuke" said the black and quite brown man who sat beside Keisuke in the left which picked the same like Keisuke.

"Damn Takumi and Keisuke," said the other Japanese.

"Yo, Nakazato!" said Weda as he heard the word that familiar with him.

"Good, I'm…What on earth?" said Takeshi Nakazato as he saw Weda. "Good. It's going to be worse then. Duo Project D and then Weda," he said as he picked Lake Akina as his choice.

While this track choice happened, Shirley and Minna picked Dover'44 as their choice. The other, who is a man in his thirties with his two year old child, picked San Francisco as the choice. Suddenly a message screen appeared on them.

"The track will be decided by the last one who picks the track, if the votes were same for two tracks? Eh, it's kinda fishy," Weda said as commented at the message .He picked London at very last second as his choice.

Soon, the race is about to began with eight drivers (all eight drivers playing the cabinet)

1. Trevor Maloney – White and blue stripped Ford GT – AT

2. Takumi Fujiwara – Two tone panda colored Toyota Sprinter Trueno (AE86) – MT

3. Minna Dietlinde-Wilcke – Yellow RUF CTR – AT

4. Shirley E. Yeager – Blue and white stripped Shelby Mustang GT350 – AT

5. Keisuke Takahashi – Yellow with RE Anemiya bodykit RX-7 (FD3S) – MT

6. Man in his thirties with his two year old child – Orange Mustang GT'10 – AT

7. Takeshi Nakazato – Black Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (BNR32) – MT

8. Weda Krishna – Blue Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged ZR1 – MT

When this is shown, everyone began to gather near Weda. Eila just wondered why everyone gathered near Weda.

The track later was shown with the letter London on capital.

"Damn it!" Minna and other cursed at Weda's track choice. While Nakazato just sighed and the man just letting his child to hold the steering wheel.

"Let's see if I can get the title "On Her Majesty's Service"," Weda thought as he saw everyone did a burnout before the race. He didn't do that though (Note: Nakazato, Takumi, and Keisuke just revved to get the maximum start, though it's also called as burnout).

"READY…SET…GO!"

[BGM: Namco Bandai – London (Dead Heat Version (Techno-Rock); in author's POV)]

The race had begun, with the AE86 and FD3S launched forward. The Ford GT and BNR32 followed close behind. Weda, who drove ZR1, despite getting blocked by the man's Mustang at the start, managed to overtake Minna and Shirley, as well as overtake the man's Mustang thanks to his apex drifting.

On the second corner, the AE86 drift very close to the guard rail as well as the FD3S. However, this made them ended too wide due to the game nature itself. This opportunity was taken by the Ford GT and BNR32 to overtake the lead from the AE86 and FD3S.

Ford GT and BNR32 also did the same on fourth corner. But they were having less wider line than the previous drift by AE86 and FD3S. Yet, this opportunity was taken by Weda to overtake all in single high speed near perfect apex-drifting and hitting Maloney's Ford GT in process of getting first.

"You?! How dare are you hitting me?" Maloney glared at Weda with anger. But he forgot that he is still holding his steer to the far left, which resulting him in hitting the walls. This made Takeshi and other five drivers behind him managed to overtake him using nitro.

"Take that, you Maloney fool," Minna smiled as her RUF CTR managed to overtook Maloney's Ford GT.

"Think so, huh? Watch this," said Maloney as he hit the nitrous button on the small yet quite long straight to overtake all the six racers in front of him. "You and your squad'll be disbanded, fools," he smiled back at Minna. Minna and Shirley growled back at him.

"What an idiot," Weda thought as he shook his head, seeing Maloney's reaction after being overtaken.

Takeshi managed to overtake Keisuke thanks to Keisuke's wider line. He managed to get fourth behind Takumi. However, Shirley suddenly did a wheelie and overtook almost them of all, save for Weda and Maloney.

"Watch it Maloney, we haven't done yet!" Shirley shouted in anger.

"Go smoke'em Shirley!" Lucchini said in supporter mode, which greatly made the remaining 501st members sweatdropped, except Minna, Sanya, and Eila.

"Looks like we got some competition then," Weda said as he smiled at Shirley's Mustang. "And I just wonder how do you get that cheerleader costume at a sudden Lucchini?" Weda thought as he looked at Lucchini.

As all racers entered the last lap, Weda suddenly noticed that the man was still on the fifth corner in very slow speed and just swerving from right to left, left to right and hitting the entire wall on the track.

"This isn't good. I've to plan it carefully. Or his action will ruined the whole race," Weda thought as he saw the man.

"Hey, watch this, punk!" was Maloney's word as he hit the nitrous to break away from Weda and the other. Shirley and Minna did the same to keep up with Maloney in one long stretch after the second turn. Takumi and Keisuke used the second nitro to try to overtake Takeshi. It worked but Takeshi had something else up mind.

"Let's see if I can do Weda's trick," Takeshi thought as he did a single high speed near perfect apex-drifting to overtake Takumi and Keisuke as well as catch up with Minna, Shirley, Maloney, and Weda. Takeshi even managed to overtake Minna after exiting the corner.

"Smart trick, Takeshi Nakazato," was Weda's comment as he overtook Shirley and Maloney using the very far right lane.

The situation was very same in for the small bridge with Weda, Shirley, and Maloney switched for first position in every chance. Takumi, Keisuke, Minna, and Takeshi also did first position for a moment. Some cheered at the 86, some at FD3S, some at BNR32 Skyline, some at Ford GT, and the witches at both CTR and Mustang as they have lead. However, no one cheered while ZR1 was on the lead.

"Just like the old times," Weda said as he saw no reaction from the audience, made him sweatdropped.

Just after the second to last corner, Weda hit the nitrous button to avoid himself to hit the man's Mustang.

"He just used the first nitro?!" Minna asked in shock.

Takeshi also did the same and managed to avoid it. Maloney barely escaped the Mustang without nitrous by swerved very hard to the left and surprisingly regained the lead. The others who hit the nitrous other than Weda and Takeshi aren't so lucky, they hit the Mustang.

"Damn it!" Shirley yelled, followed by Minna and Keisuke. The witches also looked at fear of their squadron being disbanded. Takumi, however, still tried to catch up with Weda, Takeshi, and Maloney despite his action was futile.

"Ha, witches! Face it; you'll be disbanded with my victory on my home…" Maloney's word was cut as Weda and Takeshi hit the nitro on the final corner. "You don't ever try to interupt mine!" he growled in anger and hit the nitro button.

The race now was the battle of the first position between BNR32, Ford GT, and Corvette ZR1. The Ford GT and BNR32 were managed to build some ground on the Corvette ZR1. 500 metres from finish line, Maloney's GT stopped gained speed and made Takeshi managed to overtake Maloney.

"Banzai!" was Takeshi's yell after he took the lead from Maloney.

"No *censored* way!" was Maloney's growl after being overtaken by Takeshi's BNR32 Skyline and Weda's ZR1 at the same time.

420 metres to finish line, Weda hit his nitrous to try his last chance of overtaking Takeshi's BNR32.

"Come on, baby. Come on," Weda whispered to the steering wheel as he saw his ZR1 get closer to Takeshi's BNR32. Takeshi who didn't notice that manouver was overtaken by Weda just at 10 metres before finish line.

"Nani?" Takeshi responded after see that he was in second instead of first place. He then saw Weda who is just talking to himself in victorius tone.

"That's mother*censered* close. The conclusion is, if you race against a Skyline, no matter what model it is, don't ever try to losing each of your own or you'll eat that dust, even if you drove a Veyron," Weda said as he clenched his fist, signing that he won the race. Takeshi just sighed yet relieved hearing that. He then began move to Weda's cabinet.

"Weda Krishna, the owner of the Corvette "Blue Devil" ZR1, is back. No wonder if I get second behind you," Takeshi responded at Weda's word.

"Ah, Takeshi Nakazato of Myogi Night Kids. You're giving me a real dead heat," Weda responded back and did a hi-five with Takeshi.

"What? This guy is the infamous Blue Devil on the Dead Heat beta test!" Eila thought in shock as she heard Takeshi's words.

"And as for you, Trevor Maloney, since I jumped into your conversation and challenged me indirectly and I won the race," Weda said, emphasizing on word "challenged" and "indirectly","Don't…ever…try…to disband the 501st JFW or I'll have the queen to bust your ass up," he continued as he choose the title "On Her Majesty's Service" and stared at Maloney in warning tone. The witches looked at Weda in surprised tone, not knowing that Weda was on their side.

"No *censored* way! I even don't know that…" Maloney said before he was grabbed by Weda.

"And now Maloney, GET OUTTA MY WAY!" Weda shouted as he throw Maloney at extreme speed as well as his passport. Maloney then dissapeared in a second with a blinked white screen and yelled in Twisted Metal 4 death style.

"Weda, isn't that a bit harsh to throw him at such speed?" Takeshi asked as Weda sighed. Gertrud jaw dropped watching such a brute force.

"Who cares, even if he was a general, he won't dare when I showed this," Weda said in confidence as he shown his passport. Takeshi was amazed at that word On Her Majesty's Service which was written on the title of Weda's passport.

"Ah, so you're the one who have the exactly, same pin like the undefeated AI on our beta test," said the CEO suddenly to Weda. Weda just pretended to be dumbfounded eventhough he know that he had the same pin. "Well, to shorten time, let's move to your own…real and driveable Corvette," he added.

"I don't know that such a…wait, a real CORVETTE?!" Weda thought in shock. He then moved to the ground floor with Takeshi and the 501st.

[BGM: Namco Bandai – London (Dead Heat Version (Techno-Rock); in author's POV)]

"Well, Weda Krishna, as your friend said your name. This car is now officially yours," the CEO said as he gave the key and the pink slip to Weda. Weda then shook hands with the CEO, followed by lots of applause and photo.

"Hey handsome, can I have some thrill on that ride? I'll drive for yours as for saving us," Shirley teased Weda as she was amazed by the aggressive style of the Corvette ZR1.

"Shirley, your manners, don't you know that we've been photoed by these photografers? Besides, that Weda had saved us from being disbanded, can you gave him some thankful expression?" Mio asked in cold voice.

"It's fine Mio. Besides, it's a long time since I did a drift in a Veyron Super Sport," Weda replied. Takeshi just shocked by hearing that. "Well, it's after you all bought some clothes. But first, is anybody want crepes?" he asked at the 501st.

"What is a crepe?" Minna asked in a curious voice as she heard the entire 501st's stomachs were growled, including her.

"A type of pancake, but it's thinner than the pancake itself. And its origins from France or Gallia, as you know," Weda replied as he saw the meaning from his phone. "Don't worry, I'll pay. Besides, it was my pay day, so it won't hurt yours. But Takeshi, you've to pay at your own, except if you want to pay for me," he added as he walked to the crepe stall on third floor.

"Hey, watch your mouth man," Takeshi responded but laughed as he joined the 501st to the stall.
