Me: Hello everyone and welcome to the 20th chapter of my second new Misc. Anime Story!
*The light then turns on to see the Yellow Supra and Yakito in his racing form.*
Yakito *does a Japanese bow*: Hello everyone.
Me: Hello indeed. We are gonna have a different theme in this chapter and will also serve the final chapter of this arc.
Yakito *gasped a bit*: Nani?!
Me: I said arc! Not the story!
Yakito *chuckling*: I know. I was just kidding.
*Yakito then laughed a bit while I sighed.*
Yakito: So what will be the theme this time?
Me: We will know it soon but first I would just like to thank you all so much for supporting us by favoriting and following me as well as my other stories.
Yakito: And since it's a Misc. Anime story, it's a complete OC's story. Therefore he owns the OCs and no one can use them without his permission.
Me: Yep. Now, with that being said, let's get to the 20th chapter of my second ever Misc. Anime story. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Yakito: Yeah. Gentlemen, start your engines!
*And so the roar of the 2JZ engines can be heard as Yakito then turns on the headlights on his Yellow Supra MK4. The headlines are on. Yakito smiles while I sighed.*
Chapter 20: Touge Practicing and Racing.
Zzzzzzz...zzzzz
"Uh Chief?" Someone called him, "Chief!"
"Huh?" Chief asked immediately woke up, "Oh it's you Yakito. Where are we now?"
"After a long drive, we are finally at the capital city, Tokyo." Yakito said.
"Ahhh...The memories. It's good to be back again after a while. I wonder what the others are doing."
"Probable busy with their own stuff?"
"Guess so. Anyway, let me direct you now to my friend's address now."
The Chief yawned a bit before giving the directions to Yakito which led to a pretty big garage where he could see someone waving at him.
"That's the dude." The Chief said as Yakito goes to that garage.
Few minutes later:
"Ah buddy! Long time no see!" The Chief's friend said happily.
"Yeah. Same here." The Chief said as they hugged each other.
"How do you like my garage?"
"Wow! It sure has changed a lot ever since we last met."
"Indeed."
The Chief and his friend then talked a lot about their past till the Chief's friend wife came in.
"Hello." The wife smiled.
"Oh hello there." The Chief said.
"You remember her? You saw her on my wedding with her." The Chief's friend said.
"Ah yes yes."
"Basically, we own this garage."
"I've known that for a long time you know."
The Chief, his friend and the friend's wife shared a bit of laugh while Yakito sweatdropped a bit.
"Lunch will be ready soon." The friend's wife said.
The Chief and his friend nodded as she left. Soon his friend asked:
"So you brought someone with you?"
"Ah yes. Come here boy." The Chief said as Yakito steps forward, "He's my successor, Yakito Taichi."
"How do you do?" Yakito asked as he bows.
"Ohhhh so you are a Street Racer Cop too eh?" The Chief's friend asked in awe before saying, "From Osaka this time."
"Yep."
"So what brings you two here?"
Silence occurred for a moment before the Chief hold his breathe and said:
"He wants to do practice the touge racing we did when we were at his age. I told him that Osaka has some mountain roads but he insisted on coming here so here we are."
"Ah. That's true. You have to master different types of roads if you wanna be the true Street Racer Officer." The Chief's friend said, "And yeah. Many people do come here to race in Tokyo due to our famous mountain races."
"True."
"So you want us to show you how we do touge racing? Ha Ha. I'll be very much happy to help you since you are my friend's successor."
"Arigato." Yakito said as he does a Japanese bow.
"But this race type is very different compare for what you usually do cause it has a lot of techniques and skills to drive."
"I'm well aware of it."
"So what's your vehicle?"
Yakito showed him and when the Chief's friend saw it, his mouth drops in awe and his eyes are filled with love hearts.
"OMG! This is like the second time I've seen such a cool JZA80 baby with my own eyes." The Chief's friend said.
"You mean you saw it before?" The Chief asked.
"We'll get to that later on buddy. Given I've known your Chief for so long, I can assume that your police car is the same as this one right?"
"Yes." Yakito said.
The Chief's friend inspects the car for a moment before saying:
"It's definitely a bit difficult but not impossible. Few days ago, I heard some dude with the Supra A80 was able to beat a Lancer on Mouth Akina."
"Nani? You serious?!" The Chief asked as he is in awe as well as Yakito.
"Yeah it's possible. As long as you understand the car and the road, you will do well no matter how much it weights."
"He knows that car far better than any other Supra drivers."
"On high speed racing. Not touge racing."
Silence occurred for a split second before the Chief said:
"Fair point."
"Just to let you know sir. My car's lighter than the original ones." Yakito said.
"Ah. That's good to hear. Makes my job easier but now it's time to present you the real challenge and the first thing to help you with touge racing." The Chief's friend said.
"Okay."
"And this answers your Chief's question."
The Chief's friend soon pointed at a grey Supra. The Chief and Yakito are in awe.
"This Supra has 350 BHP, enough for touge racing since it depends on skills. The challenge you will be facing now is how to drift this one cause its weight is the same as the original one." The Chief's friend said.
"The original one that's heavier than my one?" Yakito asked in which the Chief's hand nodded.
"Yep and if you can master that, then you will have absolutely no problem with your one."
"I understand. I accept."
The Chief's friend jumped happily and asked:
"Great! All is set! How about we have lunch together before we hit the road?"
"Yeah. We left early in the morning just to get in here." The Chief said.
"Then it's lunch time boys." The Chief's friend wife said.
"Wow!" Yakito said as they all shared a little laughter.
Later on
Evening
Mount Akina:
"Dang it!" Yakito growled as the Supra hits the guardrail, causing the car go spin.
"Don't stop there! Keep trying!" The Chief's friend voice shouted, "Don't worry about the damage! This ain't your Supra that you are driving."
Yakito sighs as he reverses the car before attempting to start again.
Yakito actually began his training after they finished lunch. The Chief and his friend then took him to the famous Mt. Akina in which Yakito is in awe upon seeing the road. The Chief's friend decided to show Yakito first. Riding on his Subaru Impreza, he manages to wow Yakito by showing off his impressive drift despite his age. Even the Chief is impressed.
"Man! You still got the skills to drive despite our younger forms being way past due and I haven't even raced here for a while." The Chief said.
"Ah no worries. It ain't high speed racing that could make someone shiver a bit if they don't have the courage to do so." His friend said, "Alright Yakito. Your turn, let's see how you do at the start."
So here he is. Yakito starting for the 10th time already. Basically, he is doing okay but the garage Supra is on its original weight which means it's heavier than his one. Because of that, Yakito seems to struggle a bit when making a drift corner. Well he did but on the S-shaped route is where he kinda struggled a bit. And it again happened when he tried to drift left and then right quickly only to spun around later on.
The Chief and his friend noticed that and sighed.
"He's kinda getting use to it but the S-shaped curve is where he is struggling a bit." The Chief said.
"Yeah. He seems to be more worried about the car weight than his tires and skills." His friend said, "Wait! I have an idea."
The Chief's friend then decided to go to Yakito, who returned to his starting line. The Chief's friend knocks the door. Yakito opens it.
"Mind would I join you?" The Chief's friend asked.
"Yes please!" Yakito said, feeling revealed.
The Chief's friend then hops in. Yakito is about to start his engine but then the Chief's friend stopped him and said:
"Wait. Let me tell you something first."
"Okay." Yakito said as he is curious.
The Chief's friend took a breathe and said:
"There is one guy who comes by the name Kozo Hoshino. He drives a freaking BNR34, which is also a heavy vehicle but he is known by the name of "God Foot" due to his extraordinary acceleration control and his ability to drift the BNR34 with the ATTESA E-TS 4WD system activated.
"Impossible!" Yakito gasped.
"Listen. That guy raced Keisuke's lighter FD3S and was being chased by it in the 1st run though it barely won but 2nd run his car had some loss of traction due to the tyres. Even so, he managed to cross the finish line. The 3rd one never happened though."
"That sound kinda like the demotivational story though."
"Kinda at the end yes."
"But to do that in a R34 GTR is really awesome."
"See what I mean? The car weight doesn't matter. The main thing on these mountain races are tyres and skills. That's the two you need to focus on."
"Got it."
"Now with that said, let's start again. This time you follow my word and then after that, you do it yourself okay?"
"Hai."
"Okay my boi. Start the 2JZ engine baby!"
"Yeah!"
And so Yakito starts the engine and off they go.
Over the past few days, day and night, Yakito learns and improves his skills on drifting the heavy Supra, with a guidance of the Chief's friend, who at one point, brought the BNR34 to drive with so that he can show him.
The Chief regularly calls the Assistant Chief to check how everything's going. Based on what his assistant said, so far so good but there is one case which will catch Yakito's attention later on.
Anyback, back to the training session, Yakito drifts the normal Supra on the corner.
"You're doing good boi." The Chief's friend said.
"Thanks." Yakito smiled.
Some days later:
"Well done blue haired boi." The Chief's friend said, "It seems that you are ready enough for a small test."
"Small test?" Yakito asked curiously.
"Yes. The Ghost Time Attack."
"The Ghost Time Attack?"
"Yep. It is the usual time attack but imagine there's a invisible ghost of someone's car behind you or up front, no pressure, just do a usual run."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Imagine you are in your cop car, trying to chase some bad guy in a Lancer Evo."
"I see."
"Yeah."
"So what I need to do is match the time stamp of yours?"
"Not needed, getting a faster time is enough but you need to practice this more, it improves a driver's skill, line and analysis on what tactics you're going to use."
"Oh Cool."
"We are gonna have two tries. One imagines that you are chasing a bad guy and another one is you imagine racing me when I was young."
"I accept the challenge."
"Oh and I forgot that it can improve your high speed racing skills as well as a bonus." *Winks*
"That's very cool."
"Yep. Now get in the car. It's Ghost Attack Time boi. It's the run in two courses - both Akina and the Iroha slopes."
Yakito nodded and started his first run, imagining him chasing a bad guy's car on the mountain road. At first it was a bit hard for him but he decides to continue for improving himself.
After the first run:
"Not bad at all." The Chief's friend said, "Not 1st but definitely part of the Top 5 fastest times. Good start."
"Here's some water." The Chief said as he gave Yakito to drink, "You're gonna need it."
"Thanks." Yakito said as he drank it.
"Alright then. Ready for the 2nd try?" The Chief's friend asked.
"5 minutes please!"
"Alright but I'll tell you anyway. After your break is done, I'll let you watch some of my races when I was young like you so that you can analyze upon what to do next."
"Okay."
6 minutes later:
"Whoa!" Yakito is in awe as he sees some of the Chief's friend races on the mountain road.
"Yeah. Got it transferred to my tablet so that you can see it clearly." The Chief's friend said before asking, "Reminds us of our good old times eh?"
"It sure is." The Chief smiled.
Another 6 minutes later:
"Alright then! Good luck!" The Chief's friend said as he gave the 'Go' signal.
Soon Yakito started his engine and off he went. While completing against the time, he could imagine the Chief's friend Impreza at the roaring state.
"Dang. He was one of those fastest racers when he was young like Chief. It will be hard for me to get pass him but I gotta keep trying." Yaklto thought as he pursues the ghost Impreza.
After the second run:
"You were a bit behind still but the margin of distance was so small that it could have been anyone's race." The Chief's friend said, "So well done."
"Gonna be really handy for police chase situations." Yakito said, "I would like to see the shock of their faces when they see what I'm capable of doing."
"Indeed." The Chief said as they shared a small laughter.
"Alright then. We are done for today. It will soon be time for the final test." The Chief's friend said.
"What's that?" Yakito asked curiously.
Silence occurred for a moment before the Chief's friend said:
"Tomorrow at night at Saitama...Race Me."
The next night
Saitama:
"Are you both ready for this?!" The Chief called as he prepares to start the count down.
"Ah! Feels good to be back inside my Impreza." The Chief's friend said before calling at Yakito, "Remember! It's only 2 runs but a long one. Let's see if you can keep up with me or even pass me."
"Okay." Yakito said.
"Let it began in 3...2...1 and GO!" The Chief counted down and signaled the go sign as the two cars roared the engine before taking off.
So the Impreza is the cat and the Supra is the mouse. They soon drift a small left corner. No problem at all.
"This is the heavy Supra I'm driving compare to my yellow light one so I gotta use what I learned from practice and ones I witnessed with my eyes, and use it for the race." Yakito thought.
"So far so good." The Chief's friend said when he looks at the mirror to see the Supra behind him, "Plus it's nice that I haven't lost touch of my skills so it should be a good one."
The two cars then drifted on the right turn.
"I didn't tell them about this but...I watched Initial D when I was in middle school and couldn't stop watching." Yakito thought, "It doesn't matter if I am on a different car. I should be able to use my experience with the Supra and from the show."
"Not bad." The Chief's friend thought, "But watch this!"
Soon he shocks Yakito how fast the Impreza is unlike before.
"Hmm I see. Looks like he has gone back to his younger self the moment he hoped in the Impreza." Yakito thought before shifting gears, "But I won't go down that easily."
A few corners later and the Chief's friend notices that grey Supra is gaining on his tail and giving his all, leaving no distance change.
"Wow. You really have learned a lot quicker than I have expected." The Chief's friend thought before shifting gears, "Alright. Time to be a bit more serious."
The Impreza accelerates a bit.
"Yosh. Bring it on." Yakito thought as he steps on the accelerator.
From then on, it's a real battle.
The Chief's friend uses any technique he can but Yakito mimics them as if it was nothing - Yakito now has learned to copy his opponent's fastest speed and line then use it against them, just like what the Chief's friend learned during his days while racing in the circuit and on the street and by himself.
"Using my copying technique eh? How cheeky of you." The Chief's friend thought and chucked.
"Should be useful for me during those high speed races and chases." Yakito thought.
The race goes on and its putting pressure on the Chief's friend, ending the first run and taking a water break.
"I'm really proud of you. You have learned a lot over those days of your stay in here." The Chief's friend said.
"Thanks." Yakito said, "But there's still the 2nd run."
"I know."
The 2nd run is on and Yakito mashes the gas while observing what the Chief's friend would do. On the 1st and 2nd section of the course, Yakito pulls away but the Chief's friend catches up and passes him.
"Really? How come?" Yakito appeared a bit confused.
"Well done but I ain't gonna go down that easily." The Chief's friend thought.
No hope is lost as Yakito puts to good use of Takumi Fujiwara's gutter run to catch up and then pulling the Chief's friend into his trap - getting passed with the infamous "Blind" attack. The Chief's friend is at a pinch and Yakito is about to pass him again...
But then he lightly hit the Impreza's rear bump...
After the race:
Yakito sighed as he got out from his Supra while the Chief's friend got out from the Impreza. He seems really happy.
"Looks like you are really happy." The Chief said.
"Yeah." The Chief's friend said as he walked towards Yakito and handshakes him, "Well down Taichi. You sure gave me a scare there."
"So that means...?" Yakito asked as he gasped.
"Yep. Congrats on finally being able to learn the art of touge racing but I must give you one advice."
"And that is?"
The Chief's friend took a breathe before saying:
"Don't bump on the leader's rear! It will be an instant loss from what I've heard! Like not suddenly but like you will never be able to recover from it as it will speed away."
"Understood. I'll be careful next time." Yakito said.
"With that said, let's give him the celebration!"
"Hip Hip Hooray!" The Chief jumped happily as he hugged Yakito.
"Eek!" Yakito shrieked a bit.
"Oh sorry. Too hard I guess."
"And now to celebrate this moment, we'll have a big dinner at my place!" The Chief's friend said.
Someone's stomach rumbled.
"Yeah. Looks like I'm gonna need it." Yakito groaned as his stomach rumbled in which the Chief and his friend shared a little laugh.
The next night
Chief's friend home:
"You two. I want to show you something." The Chief's friend said.
The Chief and Yakito, being curious, followed the Chief's friend to the garage where the Chief's friend soon turned on the lights to see the Yellow Supra along with the bunch of tools and a toolbox lying on the ground.
"So. What did you do?" The Chief asked.
"I manage to improve the handling of the Supra without any loss of speed. The fact that it's lighter than the normal one made the job easier. Now you can shut the mouths of the people who say that the Supra sucks at cornering. From what I've observed during the training and racing, the Supra won't suck at anything as long as you are behind the wheels." The Chief's friend explained.
"You...You didn't really have to do that." Yakito said in awe.
"Well you can consider this as my farewell gift cause I believe that you definitely have what it takes to be the Street Racer Officer. Now with your Supra upgraded, you can go gunning against the big boys in Osaka."
"I already am."
"Ah cool."
"Yeah. It would have been better if we could have brought the Police Supra too so that you can upgrade it." The Chief said in which Yakito realized and sighed, "But oh well. Whatever happened had happened."
"Actually I was thinking me and my wife are planning to visit Osaka for a while."
"Oh really?" Yakito asked in awe before saying, "Looking forward to seeing you then."
"Yeah and when we come, I would love to see your Police Supra and also take me to that high speed Hanshin Circular Line."
"Maybe I'll do the Wangan Line when I visit here again."
"Ah. That will be awesome. Here's the final piece of advice from me."
"Sure."
"When you have time like you don't have anything to do or you feel bored, try going to one of Osaka mountains and practice there. Remember what I have taught you and remember your own skills as well in order to succeed in touge racing."
"Thank you for the last piece of advice."
Yakito then does the Japanese bow. Everybody smiled as silence occurred for a moment.
"I think we need to start packing our things now for our early road trip back home." The Chief said in which Yakito nodded.
Next early morning:
Everything is set and packed. Just the farewells are left.
"It's really good to see you after a long while." The Chief's friend said, "Sometimes I wonder how do you do."
"Ah don't worry. I'll be fine." The Chief said, "And by the way, you should start a touge racing school for the upcoming racers."
"Hmmm...looks like I can give that a shot given how I was able to successfully teach Taichi the art of touge racing. I'll think about it."
"Yeah. Looking forward to it."
"Here's some food for you two on your way journey home." The Chief's friend wife said, "Also for your homes."
"Wow. Thank you very much. Taichi. Some food for us!"
"Arigato ma'am!" Yakito called out as he does a Japanese bow.
"Ah no worries. It's good to meet some of my husband's friends." The Chief's friend wife smiled.
"He He." The Chief's friend chuckled a bit.
"Very well then. We're heading off." The Chief said as he and Yakito got inside the Yellow Supra.
And so the goodbyes happen.
"Bon Voyage!" The Chief's friend said as he waves his hand.
"Have a safe trip home you two." The Chief friend's wife said as she waves her hand.
"Come to Osaka!" Yakito called out.
"Yeah! We'll be waiting!" The Chief said as he waves his hand.
"Don't forget to text!" The Chief's friend called.
"I will! I'll let you know when we reach home safely!"
"Okay!"
"Goodbye!" The four of them said together as Yakito started his 2JZ engine which roars.
Eventually, the Supra starts to move and they continued to wave goodbye at each other till they no longer can see each other.
"So he was your friend for a long time?" The Chief's friend wife asked curiously.
"Yep. Back from our good ol' racing and drifting days." The Chief's friend smiled in which his wife is in awe.
And so the Supra is cruising on the road, heading towards their home on a long journey.
"Hey Chief." Yakito said.
"Yeah?" The Chief asked.
Yakito took a deep breathe before saying:
"Thanks for everything. Telling me about your racing past and helping me learn about the art of touge racing. Thank you for everything again."
"Ah. It's no problem. To be honest, I should also thank you. You wanting to learn about it has made me meet my buddy again and helped us share our good old racing days of us." The Chief smiled.
"Then you're welcome."
"Now let's go back to Osaka and kick some bad guys butts!"
"Yeah!"
And with that Yakito stepped on the accelerator and the Supra accelerated. The Chief's eyes looks at Yakito and the Chief thought:
"Now with your high speed and touge racing knowledge, you will be able to create a legacy far bigger and better than my one. You have more than what it takes to be the true Street Racer Cop."
Me: And with that ends the 20th chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Yakito: Also with that ends the arc. I guess it makes sense given from what we learned about the Chief's past that he's been doing this type of race his whole racing life compare to me.
Me: Yeah. Now with that arc done, it's time to begin a great new arc
*Silence occurred for a moment as I smiled.*
Yakito: And what will that arc be?
Me *smiling*: You will have to find out that yourself.
Yakito *sighing*: Oh Well...
*Both of us smiled afterwards.*
Me: Well that wraps up this chapter and the arc. The next chapter and a new arc is coming up within a week or a week and half so stay tune for it...
Yakito *happily*: For a new arc!
Me: I've already said it.
Yakito: Oh dang it! Anyway, until then, please review and like this and his other stories as well as following and favouriting him.
Me: That's right. Till the next chapter comes, see you soon so...
Yakito: Sayonara.
Me *smiling*: Farewell.
*The Supra's engines then roars again as we wave our hands.*
