Tak climbed into his car. It was a white Toyota Trueno. He fastened the racing harness and revved the engine. His competition was going to be tough. A black Toyota Celica with a mysterious driver that nobody seemed to know. The siren sounded and Tak hit the accelerator.
The car's tyres started rotating at a huge speed. Smoke was coming from them. Finally the car lurched forward and started moving. The engine made a huge roar and Tak's car moved parallel to his opponent's. Tak switched quickly to second gear and His car moved to the lead. He sped down Akina Mountain towards the finish line.
Akina was known for its sharp turns. His opponent moved to the front and then slowed down rapidly. Tak was forced to stop using his handbrake. He sped around the corner and moved to the lead again. The Celica was sticking tight to his tail. He tried to shake it off but it was too fast.
The next corner was approaching and he hit the hand break again. He could see the finish line now and all his friends waiting and cheering. The Celica sped past him at crazy speeds. However at that speed there was no way it could make the last corner. The car slowed town and span out of control. Tak dodged the spinning car and made the turn.
He activated the hand break and the car stoped. All his friends moved around the car cheering and he got out. He looked back only to see the black Celica was gone. Who was the mysterious driver?
Later that day Tak was hanging out with his friends in the car park. "You whipped that guy's butt Tak," said Iggy. "We won't be seeing him around here anymore". "Did you guys see where he went after the race?" asked Tak. "Nope," responded Iggy. "He ran off before we got another glimpse of him". "Damn, I didn't catch his name".
All of a sudden they heard he roar of an engine echoing in the garage. They turned around to see whet was happening. "ROAR," they heard the car again. Then they heard the screech of tyres on the cement paving. All they saw were the beams of light emitting from a black Celica. It was him...
Everyone scrambled to their cars and screeching was heard from their many tyres trying to get out of the way. Tak jumped into his Trueno and fastened his racing harness.
He started the car and went at full speed towards the Celica. The two cars were heading towards each other at amazing speeds. At the last moment Tak veered to his left and did an 1800 spin the Celica turned to it's left as well but kept going for the exit ramp.
Tak gave pursuit of the mysterious black car. The Celica turned onto a main road during traffic congestion. There was little room to move but just enough space to weave in between various cars and drive with one wheel on the sidewalk. The sharp turns at Akina Mountain had been good practice for conditions like this.
The moment the mysterious driver got to the next intersection, he put his foot down and headed for the highway. "At this hour the highway would have been extremely dangerous," thought Tak to himself. He had to stop before someone got hurt. He pulled the hand break and the car stoped to a halt. The mysterious driver drove off onto the highway and left Tak on the ramp.
Moments later the black Celica stopped a few meters way from Tak's car. The driver got out. It was a mysterious youth with jet-black hair. He wore a black coat & sunglasses. He looked back at Tak who was still in his car. He gave him a nod of acknowledgment and a slight wave. Tak was amazed and perplexed at the same time.
A person who drove like the mysterious driver must be being hunted by the police. However, he still had the time to congratulate an opponent for a good race. "That man must have a long line of honour of racing to do something like that," said Tak to himself.
The driver got back into his car and drove off. Tak got the feeling that he would be seeing a lot more of this driver.
