It was about 6 in the morning when Geronimo woke up from his bed. And then he remembered that he was supposed to meet Basil at the PA. As he got to his car, a sweet voice started talking to him.

"Hello, Geronimo Stilton. I am SAI, or Sol Artificial Intelligence."

"What are you doing in my car?" he asked.

"I found out that you have just tuned your Nissan 370Z from 333 horsepower to 600 horsepower. This is too dangerous for your skills in racing in the Wangan."

"This isn't important. Tell me, why are you here?"

"I am here to make your driving experience easier. Now where do you want to go?"

He thought for a while and then said, "Let's go to the Tatsumi No.1 parking area."

"Destination set. Now let's go."

The car started to drive on its own at a set pace. He felt a little bit strange. Who just installed Sol's AI into his car? After all, he didn't know who broke into his house that night. Until he realized that his car's immobilizer isn't working well. He did check his car everyday. How could this even happen. But before long, he is approaching the PA quickly. The car stopped right on the parking spot beside Basil's car.

"Well, if it's not my friend Geronimo this time."

"Kind of. So what are we supposed to do?"

"I have quite some targets to take down right now, and you should know that these are Ratigan's henchmen," he said as he showed a list of driver on pursuit. He looked at the list, and he saw a few drivers who are on Basil's watch. It was Shrewdpaws and Crunchrat.

"You recognize any of them in the list?" Basil asked.

"I know two of these; Shrewdpaws and Crunchrat."

"At least you know two of those."

"So we are going to get them today?"

"It's not guaranteed, but what I can tell you is that they drive Toyota Crown Athlete and Nissan Stagea respectively."

"Alright. So it's go time?"

"Yes. Let's move."

As they move through the Haneda Airport at 110 km/h, they saw a blue Crown Athlete passing them.

"This could be it?" Geronimo asked via the walkie-talkie.

"I think so. Let's get that guy."

The cars accelerated towards the Toyota, which Shrewdpaws, the driver of the car, got a little nervous due to the two cars following him on the back. He is running away with probably a document with him, so maybe that's an attraction. With probably two drivers on the tail, the British-Japanese man took the left lane to the overpass right after the Tsurumi Tsubasa Bashi bridge, leading towards Kawasaki.

"You are not going to get me this time. I might not have any ninjas with me, but I won't let myself being held back with these two guys behind me," he muttered in Japanese.

They got straight through the industrial area, closing the gap slowly but surely. Once they got into the Kawasaki Line, they were head-to-head. But right when Basil was about to PIT the Crown Athlete, an olive Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X bolted right through the other car, leaving Shrewdpaws immobilized. The Lancer Evolution X suffered a good damage as a result of it.

"Dammit!" Spencer shouted with his hands on the wheel.

"Geronimo, go check the other Lancer. I will settle it with Shrewdpaws," Basil told him.

As Stilton approached the Evo X, he saw someone rather familiar. It was Wild Willie, but why is he here?

"Willie, why are you here?" Stilton asked.

"I came here from Minato Mirai just a few minutes ago when I heard someone has been stealing an artifact from National Museum of Japanese History. Feeling that I think I had to act fast to stop that, I got towards Yokohama when I saw a few cars speeding," Willie explained while putting back his cowboy hat on his head.

"And then?"

"I saw the familiar blue Crown Athlete being chased belonging to Shrewdpaws, so I went ahead and hit it."

"Okay. Does it hurts?"

"Just a little bit. Didn't know it was you following the blue sedan together with…," he told Stilton before Basil interrupted the conversation.

"Had enough talking about it? You will have to follow me to the police station right now."

"See you later, Geronimo. Had to follow that guy to the police station even I have done a heroic deed."

Stilton was left with his car on the road while Basil got to the nearest police station together with Willie and Shrewdpaws.

"Looks like that you have been on hot pursuit just now. Handling 600 hp shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" Sol asked him.

"I don't know, but I am not too used to driving at this speed. I really needed some practice for high-speed cornering."

"I can recommend you to go to Mount Haruna for that."

"What?"

"Or also known as Mount Akina in Initial D, which is a manga/anime."

"Sorry, but I can't understand you. By the way, how long is it from home?"

"About 1 to 2 hours."

"This? Maybe I will go there if I felt like it."

"Alright, noted. Where do you want to go next?"

"Let's get back home. I think I am done here."

As they are en route to home, Stilton got a phone call. He is driving, so he couldn't pick up the phone call.

"I will take over. Turning on self-driving system in 3 seconds," Sol told him.

He picked up the phone call, and heard a familiar voice on the phone.

"Yo, pussy, they said you have been gaining some rep today. Showing your…"

"Sally, why are you calling me? Are you going to settle some dispute between us?"

"Yeah, if I ain't gonna solve the hell out of it, why do you think I am going to call you?"

"We can meet up at the C1 tonight. How about it?" Stilton asked.

"Sure, if you think you would do well in this course. Smell ya later, pussycat."

"I am going to schedule this: a street race at 10:00 pm on the C1 course. Are you okay with it?"

"Sure, I had said it. Let's got back home first: I really want to meet my nephew right now."
