Chapter 11 Team Titan
(Nightmares POV)
Me, maverick and shala had been called to the commander office for a mission, we entered and the commander was there in a chair holding a file.
"sir!" maverick said with a salute
"listen we want you three to enter the extreme gear grand prix"
"you what?" shala asked confused
"apparently there are some very big players backing the this year's grand prix, we want you three to enter the Grand prix"
"i'm game"
"maverick?"
"if it's for the safety of soleanna i'll do it"
"guess i'm in too"
"excellent nightmare?"
I nodded
We left the office and went straight to the vehicle bay, aldo had taught me how to ride a extreme gear a long time ago. Maverick entered and started typing into a computer he turned to us and pulled out a PDA.
"we need a speed, flight and power boards"
"well i'm strength and you can fly maverick"
Maverick was a hawk like jet only his feathers were red, they then turned to me and smiled.
"guess that means your speed nightmare"
Me and shala got on a computer as well and started to make our boards, considering i was going to be the speed rider i chose the lightest metals i could see not to mention i got maverick and shala's idea's on how to make the thing lighter and faster. That's when i got an idea after my board was complete i went back to my room and got my belt, shala and maverick watched as i took the belt apart exposing the cybernetics inside. I adapted the cybernetics to merge with the board with a slot for the ring when needed, maverick was pretty pleased with his a red and yellow board with two wings at the back for added cornering ability and air time. Shala went with a bock standard frame but added the extra armour and the power booster, her board was gold and green and mine was black and purple.
That's when we sat down and took some things into consideration.
"we need a name we can't use GUN cause then they'll suspect something"
"true but what can we use?"
What about titan?
"titan?"
"i like it"
"right then titan it is"
"what about uniforms?"
"do we need them?"
Yep
"i got an idea give me a minute"
Maverick went to the computer again and loaded a different system, for his uniform he was going with a Babylonian flight suit, which made it easier to glide through the air. Shala went for something from her roots a tribal combat suit from her home consisted of a leather outfit coated in a tribal decal design, me i chose a fabric version of my armour with a few added things. For one i removed the metal mask and added a half facemask with a hood, and with some purple tint we made put uniforms.
All three of us were pretty pleased with them so we hung them in our room and maverick got us signed up for the prix, we kept our boards in our rooms but as i finished getting changed maverick asked to see me and shala in his room. Entering he seemed a little concerned.
"they want to interview us"
"what!"
"easy shala it's routine for new racers"
Well let's get it done then
"nightmare you can't speak so wont that give you away?"
I pulled off the ring and it cloned itself into a collar as well with the same gem in the centre, i placed the collar round my neck and it allowed me to speak.
"okay problem solved let's go"
We got our boards and headed for the studio where the interview was held, we got to the studio and sat down with the interviewer omnichao.
"good evening soleanna today we have the newest team to join the grand prix, now you three are virtually unheard of so why join the grand prix"
"i'm here just to have fun" i said
"he'll try anything once" maverick said
"now first question i have is for maverick, who is the team captain?"
"that would be Zear here"
Zear?
"so zear you are the team captain?"
I had to trust maverick "yep i am"
"right next question is for zear how do you feel going up against some of the biggest teams like team sonic, dark and the Babylon rogues?"
"to be honest i havent even heard of team sonic or the Babylon rogues but shadow is a fast opponent and rouge can fly pretty well"
"wait, wait you've never heard of team sonic or the Babylon rogues?"
He seemed shocked by what i said "not really, it was maverick's idea to join the prix i just went along with it"
"anyway moving on maverick that do you think is going to be your main rival?"
"well for me it's the rogues but for shala defiantly omega from team dark and zear well I'd say sonic and shadow are his rivals"
"i see"
I was starting to get bored but the next race was tomorrow so might as well get this over with.
"shala a lot of fans wanted to know, where do you come from?"
"aha well i come from ancient sands, it's a large desert on the other side of the world"
"interesting zear same question for you?"
"i was raised here is soleanna by my adoptive father but i don't remember where i am from"
"and maverick?"
"Babylon"
"BABYLON!"
I had a feeling that would get that result.
"yes i am from Babylon i grew up with jet, wave, storm and predator"
I saw maverick clench his fists when he said the rogues, was his childhood not a good one?
"well one last question do you think you can win?"
"yep"
"sure"
"zear?"
"we'll have to see wont we?"
"yes we will well that's all for today"
We left the studio and returned to the HQ where i had a question for maverick.
Zear? Really?
"i couldn't use nightmare because they would of known you were an assassin"
"he's right"
Fine but only use zear when we are in public
"done"
We all retired to our rooms and got an early night, for tomorrow but i had a feeling maverick was doing this for more than just the mission.
