James Ash stood across from Angela gripping his controller as he was revving the engine of his truck 'Darkside' knowing he had a reason to win. unlike the girl before him. Angela was only in it for the money but James had a much bigger goal. In it end it all comes down to power. James sought power, the greatest power in the world It all came down to his employer. James was part of an organization that dealt with hacking and cyber acts. He thought his group was unstoppable until one day.

James was at his computer hacking into a network as was his usual routine, his goal was to steal files related to a government conspiracy to action off to the highest bidder. James took a sip of his water bottle hacking into the computer. James proceeding digging thru the files to find what he was looking for. his employer gave him specific instruction to transfer all copies of the files to him and delete the originals.

James did not what the files were but it was not his business to know, his employer gave him specific instructions not to open the files, claiming they contained sensitive material and could not risk anyone getting it. James often did what he was told when it came to his services.

James prided himself on being the best hacker in the world, even at one point breaking into the government network without them even noticing. He often sold the info to buyers overseas. James looked thru the files copying the files to his computer.

James was recently contracted to obtain a file from Zootopia city hall, apparently, the previous mayor of the city had shady deals going on with the government. The government was trying it's hardest to bury this. James did not know who his buyer was but he wanted the only copy of the file to keep.

James agreed to take the job, opening his laptop, the network that the city hall used was out of date and James managed to easily hack his way in, looking thru the files, he knew the file was there and he shuffled thru the network.

Ash looked thru the software files managing to find the file. It was almost too easy as James clicked on the file as it locked up his computer as this shocked James. how did this happen? Mr. Ash was the best hacker in the world yet he was stumped as a chat box appeared on his screen as a message began typing itself.

"Sorry, these files belong to someone else," the message said before frying his computer. James was shocked, he was just hacked an entire system was shut down. The shutdown deeply affected the organization's profits, and when they found out that there was a hacker who existed better than Mr. Ash they began to feel threatened. the group looked into the mysterious hacker.

"All they managed to find with his name' Black' and he apparently worked for some fox named Calypso. after doing more digging James found out about the Twisted Metal contest. he spared no expense on the best RC vehicle he could find. Buying a black semi truck. Black began tearing his way through RC contests hoping Calypso would notice an invite him to his contest.

It was another RC Rumble as James was driving his RC Darkside against a tank. the huge vehicles rammed into the side of the truck knocking it slightly back as most of the damage occurred to the Tank. James turned his truck hitting the Tank Head on.

"You're gonna pay for that" The driver a tiger said fiddling with his controller as the tank rolled over cashing again into Darkside which was made to take damage as James turned the truck plowing into the tank, knocking it back. the tank clattered against the curb, landing on its top as the driver cursed.

James Speed up Darkside ramming full throttle into the Suv which crushed from the pressure. The Tank showed no signs of moving, the treads revving against the air as Darkside went in for the killing blow. Darkside rammed the tank as it stopped moving.

"Tiger Tank is unable to continue Darkside is the winner" the referee called out as the crowd cheered. James just shrugged it off the referee approached James handing him an envelope as James opened him seeing the bills.

"Where is Calypso?" James asked the referee as he looked at the ram.

"He's not here, he does not attend every single RC Battle" The referee replied as James crumpled the envelope furious.

"You're kidding me, I waste my time competing in the dinky RC match and the dumb fox can't be bothered to show up" James replied furiously as the referee looked at him.

"Maybe next time," The referee said as James stormed off, picking off Darkside he headed back meaning he had to report his failure to meet Calypso. James returned to his apartment opening the door. James approached the fridge pulling out a glass of milk. Making a Peanut Butter sandwich James sat down on his sofa pulling out his laptop.

James checked his email to message his employer as he received a request to face cam. James looked confused and shocked that a stranger messaged him.

James reached for the keyboard opening the chat as the image of a scared fox appeared on the screen who smiled.

"Good, found you... you are not easy to track down, but I found you, I heard thru word of mouth you were looking for me?" Calypso said holding a wine glass in his hand, sipping the liquid. he was savoring his drink as he smiled at James

"Yeah, went to the stupid RC rumble, and you were a no show" James retorted as Calypso mocked a gasp.

"Oh my dear Mr. Ash, I'm so sorry, I honestly planned to attend but something came up, A very important meeting, preparation of my contest. Black has been working his ass off, but then again you know what he is capable of" Calypso responded as James looked shocked. he knew about him looking for Black.

"Tell you what Jimmy Boy, how about you attend next week's match I will be sure to attend" Calypso offered as James scoffed.

"You better be there" James replied.

It was just after another contest when he finally came face to face with the fox known as Calypso who was clapping at Ash's Victory.

"Well done James, I must say, your match was entertaining to watch" Calypso complimented as James looked at him.

"Look Calypso, skip the formalities, I know who you are and why you're here, you thought my skills would show off in your contest, so just give me the invitation," James said as Calypso sulked.

"So forward, and here I was wanting to talk, but very well, I also know who you are Mr. Ash, the second best hacker in the world, and yes. The object you desire is in my possession. Black does work for me, how else do you think I'm able to broadcast my contest?" Calypso asked as James ground his teeth.

"So, you already know what I want?" James asked As Calypso nodded it was clear to both of them that James wanted to know about Black and how he was so good.

"Don't worry, if you win I'll personally see to it Black leaves you alone" Calypso explained striking a deal as James just scoffed at him not buying it. he looked at Calypso explaining what he meant

"I Don't want him to leave me alone, I want HIM, to work for me, with his skills my organization will be unstoppable" James corrected letting Calypso know that he wanted Black's services as Calypso bit his knuckle. that was a hard bargain to deliver but not impossible.

"That would be difficult, seeing as I need Black to run my equipment" Calypso explained as James shrugged telling Calypso that was his problem. James had no interest in the competition, he only sought Black for his computer skills

"I read about your contest, the rule is and always been the winner gets whatever they want" James countered as Calypso sighed admitting those were the rules as he agreed to the terms, should James Ash win Twisted Metal Calypso would hand Black over to him.

Calypso handed out his paw to shake with James as he did so, the two shook as Calypso smiled thru his teeth looking straight at the Ram

"Welcome, James Ash… To Twisted Metal" Calypso said letting go as The fox turned away walking off into the dark as James stood there holding Darkside

James stood across from Angela gripping the controller of Darkside as the two were about to begin their race. The two stared at each other waiting for the signal to begin as they both gripped their controllers
