The race continued. Storm and his team
Made it to the middle of all the racers. The track went up curves and a mountain. It was gonna be tough! Storm and McQueen proved to work together Alright. But then it started to get tight. Racers nose to nose. A few aggressively tried to brakes the chain link between Storm and McQueen's cars. Cruz kept most of them away. About 2 hours left.
They were up the mountain pretty high. It started raining. Racers slid here and there a bit. Storm did Alright pulling McQueen though it. Then Storm got trapped between two of the Italian team members!
"Cruz!" Storm yelled. But Cruz was already struggling with the third team member Aria.. she kept Cruz away from the other two. "Get out of there Storm!" Lightning ordered. Storm couldn't shake them off. A tight curb came up and the racer on the outside gave way. The other pushed Storm toward the cliff rails. Storm didn't have a chance to react to much. "Storm!" Cruz yelled. As she watched Storm's car hit the rails and going completely through and begin to slide down the cliff. Lightning hit his brakes hard from the srtart where Storm drifted toward the railing edge. Storm closed his eyes. Preparing for what he assumed his death. Lightning closed his eyes for the same reasons. Praying he'd make it home! The car screached to a stop...Silence.. the dust cleared.
Cruz yelled and stopped her car. "What do we do!!"
Lightning opened his eyes. His car was holding Storms. Dangling off the edge!.. Lightning kept his feet on the brake as hard as he could. His car wouldn't run.. he was shocked and didn't know what to do!
Cruz got out and ran to McQueens window. Cruz took off her helmet. "What should I do!?" She yelled. Lightning took a few heavy breaths.. More less still in shock. If he let go of the brake he and Storm would fall to most likely death.
Storm held his eyes closed tightly mummering to himself, "Please don't be dead, please don't be dead..." he gritted his teeth and opened one eye. Than the other as he screamed a bit! Lightning spoke up "Stay calm! We gotta figure this out!" Storm panicked "Don't tell me to stay calm! I'm literally staring downward at nothing but land and trees and dirt and we are going to die!" Lightning was trying to think.. "Cruz, hook your wrench to my tail and pull me back. Watch out for any other racers!" Cruz nodded and ran to her car. Parking it nose to Lightning's tail. Cruz was unwinding the cable. Lightning was still trying to get Storm to calm down! "Storm stay with me! You there?" Storm was freaking out and yelled, "Where do you think I'm going!? The only other option is down! We are so dead!?" Suddenly Storms car made some creaking sounds and moved downward further very slowly. "MCQUEEN! Whatever your doing! Stop!!!" Lightning realized. He looked around his car was slowly being pulled. He pumped the e brake on and yelled "Hurry Cruz!" Cruz wrapped the cable around McQueen's car. Trying her best to hurry. She tightened the cable. McQueen's car was still Slowly sliding toward the edge. Storm yelled "WE ARE GONNA DIE!?!!" Lightning called out "Come on Cruz!" Cruz gunned her car in reverse. Peeling out for a few minutes. It stopped McQueen's car from sliding. But it didn't pull the two vehicles still. Cruz yelled at herself "Come on!.. come one Cruz!" She hit her steering wheel. The car stared swerving. "I don't think I can!" The car went back and fourth violently. This was to much for the car. But at least it stopped them from falling. Lightning heard creaking sound and metal smashing .. he looked in the mirror and his eyes widened.. "Cruz stop!" He yelled. He realized Cruz wrapped the cable on a weak spot. The cable tightended hard and snapped bringing a piece of metal right toward Cruz's windshield. Cruz screamed and hit her brakes. THe huge piece of metal hit Cruz's hood hard. He car stalled. "Oh no. No! No! Come on!!" She tried to start it. Lightnings car started to slide closer to the edge!
Cruz got out. Nearly getting hit by a racer! "Cruz be careful!" Storm closed his eyes. He could hear the metal bending and creaking and the car sliding. He waited for that sudden weightless feeling of falling down to the bottom. Lightning's car slid closer. Cruz tied the cable around another place and got back into her car. The cable stretched across the track. She just prayed no other racers came. It could cause so much damage to so many people! She hit her brakes while trying to start her car. "Come on!" Then it finally stared. She pulled hard. Lightning started to worry the cables holding Storm would snap.. he made sure the brake was stuck. He stuck his helmet between the dash and brake in case the e brake failed. Lightning opened his door barely and got out. He looked down at Storm. Dangling. He layed down into his stomach and reached. Storm noticed. "What are you gonna do!? Pull the car up!?" Storm yelled sarcastically. Lightning got up and ran to Cruz's car, Storm yelled "Wait don't leave me!?" Mcqueen got in the passenger side. "What are you doing!?" Lightning frantically searched through the gear they had. "I got stuck at Willy's butte once and Mater couldn't pull the car up. I couldn't climb up the base it was to Steep. Doc got me out using some rope and..This!" Lightning lifted up a tire iron and ran out the car. "What!?" Cruz yelled. Lightning ran over and slid onto his knees. He tied the rope right around the x. Then tied the rope around parts of the existing rail. He made sure it was tight. "STORM!" Storm yelled back "oh you're back!?"
Mcqueen threw down the bar. "What's this!?" Storm yelled. The car creaked. Lightning knew it wouldn't hold long. "Listen to me! I want you to grab onto the bar and hold on!? I'm gonna pull you up!?" Storm looked down. "Nope! I'm good here!" Lightning got frustrated. "Now Storm!?" Storm sighed. Lightning could hear other racers coming. "Crap.. Now!" Storm hesitated. He opened his door. He could feel wind.. "Oh please don't fall. .". He reached for the bar a few times. "I can't!" He yelled. Lightning yelled back, "Than I have to cut you loose?!" Storms eyes widened "What!?" "Grab it and wrap your arm around and hold on now!" Storm did as he said. He swollowed hard and let his weight on the bar and rope. The car swung a bit. Lightning slowly pulled him up. "Come on!..." he growled at himself.
He heard the cars coming. He finally had Storm pulled up to the ledge. Storm pulled himself the way up. Lightning ran to Cruz's car and kicked the wrench! "Move Storm!" Storm realized Lightning was gonna snap the cable. It could hit him. Storm ran to the side. Lightning Kicked it again. Storm yelled "The racers!" And pointed. Lightning kicked it again and the cable snapped from Cruz's car. It flung and hit the railing. Lightning's car was pulled by the weight of Storms car! And both went down the hill. The racers ran by them. Lightning fell to his knees and layed flat on his back. Relieved. The racers past.
Safely.
Storm sat across the track. Cruz got out and checked on Lightning. He was fine. Just breathing heavy. His adrenaline pumping. Cruz ran to Storm. "I thought I was gonna lose you!" Storm threw his helmet off and kissed Cruz passionately. A helicopter came above them. They heard through a speaker, "Is everyone okay!?" Lightning threw a thumbs up sideway for the person to see. Than let his arm fall back down. He took a deep breath... Storm grabbed his helmet and ran toward Cruz's car. "Come on Guys! We are gonna finish this!" Cruz gave a weird stare and followed "Storm we lost two the cars? The rules say both driver and car have to make it?" Storm helped McQueen up. And replied "We are gonna pass the finish line. Win or loose." Cruz smiled. Lightning sighed "Let's do this." Lightning sat in he passenger side. Cruz the smallest of them sat with the gear. Storm drove.
They caught up to the racers. They were making good time. They caught up to the middle again. Storm wasn't gonna even try and get revenge. He gunned it. He just wanted to finish the race. Finally they made it to the last stretch. The Italian team was in the lead. Storm drove with caution around them. Side by side. Lined up.
It's Team Storm tied with Team Russo who will win!?
Team Storm past the finish line first! The crowd around the finish line cheered. Still not knowing what exactly happened back there.
Race officials didn't announce team Storm as the winners. They were down two cars. But Lightning took the officials aside and explained what Team Russo had done to them. And the helicopter showed some the video footage they had. The footage went viral! You can imagine Sally and sky and all the people in radiator springs when hey saw it!!!!? One day. One more day and they'd all be home. And truly they were all ready to be!
So what do you say fans!?
Should Ruby Koedel give the win to Team Storm by fault. Team Russo raced really dirty and endangered Two peoples lives!? Team Russo would be disqualified!
Yes team Storm Wins.
Or...
That's racing. Team Russo won fair and square!
