Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to the new chapter of Race Of A Lifetime.
So the last place we left off was where Naruto was faced with a time trial. But after pushing his Sprinter into an overdriven state, results in the Sprinter to once more need repairs. Shizuka will not be happy about this at all.
But that isn't all that happened. Oh no.
While being interviewed by the swarm of reporters and journalists, Titania, Queen of the Fae made herself known and filled in a few information gaps some of them had. But this wasn't the only thing the Queen did.
After voicing her words to the media and public, she kisses Naruto while the whole thing is being broadcasted on live TV.
What will happen to the poor teen now?
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 9: Capture.
"...So, Titania. Would you mind sharing with us the reason why you kissed Chain 'The Crimson Devil' Amamiya?" asked the host on the one talk show on TV.
"It's quite simple actually." started Titania adjusting herself in her seat. "We Fae value quality above all things. There must be a distinct feature in our mate that attracts us. Before the Gates opened, we only had a few other lesser races that we knew of thanks to our technology and spaceflights. But ever since the Gates opened, our choices became more and more broad. I was only brought into power 45 years ago. And I was told to find myself a man to secure the royal bloodline. But it couldn't be any man. It had to be a man that was cunning, fearless, and above all. Extremely determined. Willing to throw his life away at any given moment. When I watched a race with Chain in the mix, I found the ideal man I wish to have as my husband. He is willing to do the impossible to get what he wants. I liked that. So I set out to claim him as my own-"
Naruto switched off the TV in his room as he sighed while staring at the black screen before him.
It had been 3 days since that moment where Titania kissed him out of the blue. Social media was still blowing up about it. It was crazy with the amount of letters that flooded his phone. Deleting them was harder to do as everytime he deleted one, 40 or more would come through.
Not to mention, but also the fan-mail he got as well was out of the world. Several were from girls that watched him race. Some professing their love to him and asking him to go out with him. Then there was the hate-mail from the women who were extremely possessive.
Not only that, but according to Titania herself, she was 76 years old. In the age of a Fae against a human's, that was fucking long. A Fae will live long enough to be the great grandmother to a human. But on the other side, a 76 year old Fae was the equivilant to a 24 year old human.
How long must he endure this torment?
Ring ring. Ring ring.
It was the phone. Turning to the machine, he got up and pressed a button on the console. A holo screen showed up with his mother's face showing up on it.
"Chain, get your ass down to the track. They're beginning the next trial." she said.
"Remind me what position we're at now?" asked Naruto.
"We're currently sitting 25th in the list." said Kushina.
"So we just need to gain more points in order to advance up the list." said Naruto.
"You're not as dumb as you look. Yes, the more points we have the better. Now move it." she hissed cutting the feed.
"Sheesh, this is not right." said Naruto grabbing his jacket and throwing it over his shoulders and putting it on. "Why won't she realize that I am her son? But it is my fault for not telling her."
"Maybe when I've won the cup, I'll tell her." said Naruto heading out the door.
Heading down to the garages, Naruto found his Sprinter waiting for him. The hood open with Shizuka bent over working on the engine. Seeing her plump rear on display like made Naruto slightly uncomfortable. The relationship between Shizuka had grown considerably, but due to Titania kissing him like that, the relationship became slightly strained. As well as the relationship he had with Samui.
Shizuka was okay with sharing Naruto with Samui, but for Titania to step into the bunch added fuel to this strained relationship.
Walking over to the female mechanic, Naruto gave her ass a playful slap. This caused Shizuka to turn around and stare at him. But after a few seconds, she delivered a slap to his face.
"What was that for?" asked Naruto holding his cheek.
"Just because." hissed Shizuka. "You and that bloody woman. How could you?"
"I told you. I don't even know her at all. She just kissed me out of the blue." stated Naruto standing by his statement.
"But you could've pushed her away." retorted Shizuka.
Naruto was at a lose of words. Shizuka had him there. He didn't know what to do when Titania kissed him. His mind froze and shut down. But if he told Shizuka that, it would only strain the relationship more. In time, hopefully they would get this mess sorted out.
"Your Sprinter is ready." said Shizuka coldly as she slammed the hood closed and pushed the keys into Naruto's chest.
"Thanks." said Naruto sheepishly as he got inside and started it up.
Pulling the Sprinter onto the track, Naruto got ready as 5 other Sprinters made their way onto the track as well.
"Welcome race fans and racers. This next trial is going to be something different. Let me go over the rules." said the announcer/host as he grabbed some papers. "Boosts and fast driving is the object of this game, while also keeping your wits about you. The destination you'll be racing in is a dessert area. The objective is to capture as many Power Cells as you can and return them to your base before time runs out. When someone has picked up a Power Cell, your weapons will come online. You have to shoot the other team's Sprinter that has the Power Cell. The one who has the Power Cell will have to be protected by their teammates. In addition, a shield will be placed on all your Sprinters. When you've been shot 20 times, your Sprinter's engine will cut out for a 30 second time penalty. You'll be split into two teams. Team Red and Team Blue. You have 30 minutes to get as many points as you can. They are the following: Standard Power is worth 1 point. Plasma Power is worth 5 points. And the Quantum Power Cell is worth a wopping 20 points. We will now begin spinning to see who is on whose team."
Soon a bunch of spinning wheels were seen. Three on each team. When they stopped, it showed Naruto being on a team with Mirage and Blake. This was going to get interesting.
"There you have the teams. Drones will now begin changing your Sprinter's color scheme to match which team you're on. Don't worry, the color will only stay active for this trial. Good luck. And race as if your life depended on it." said the announcer with the teams making their way into the Gate once the drones were done and setting themselves up to be by their base which was a massive Pylon that sparked a few times.
"Teams ready?" asked the announcer.
The roar of the engines filled the area as the teams got ready to begin the trial.
"Listen up guy and girl." said Mirage coming online on their SatNav screens. "We are here to win. Stay close together. 10 meter spread. Keep your eyes peeled for the Power Cell where ever it may be. We're taking this one."
"Got it." said Naruto.
"Let's do this." said Blake.
"GO!" said the announcer.
Instantly, all six Sprinters roared forward and sped to the center of the map. Ready to begin this trial and bring back the points needed to advance. Nothing was going to stop them from winning.
But as soon as his Sprinter surged forth, Naruto's eyes changed to become red with slits in them. But what was strange, was that as he was driving, he began to hear a strange voice in his head along with a strange red hue in the corners of his vision.
"Butterfly across the field. Rose of blood red color. The color of blood. Oh how wonderous the sight of such tranquilizing feeling." said the voice.
"What the fuck?" was all Naruto could say.
"Something wrong, rookie?" asked Mirage coming online as Naruto's eyes changed back to normal.
"I'm good." was all Naruto said.
"Keep up new blood." said Blake as she took point.
And scene.
So the media is still blowing up about the fact that a Monarch has kissed Naruto on Live TV. How Titania has chosen Naruto to be her husband.
But this also strains the relationship Naruto has with Samui and Shizuka. Will this ever be fixed? Only time will tell.
But with a new challenge being made. Being a game of capture the flag in a sense, Naruto is placed on a team with Mirage "The Sonic Boom" and Blake "Purrfect" Belladonna. Both veterans in the racing industry.
But as soon as they begin the race, Naruto hears a rather strange voice speak into his head. Who is this strange voice within his head? And why did his eyes suddenly change to become what they are?
