ACT 6 – 6000RPM 'Fu Huo and Minako'
The
car park was dry and silent, the black armor-like body of the
Evolution V sat like a sleeping beast. In a dead instant, the dark
lion made a soft roar…
The fog lights lit up like the beast
opening its eyes, along with the red pulse neon.
The windows close
up, and the music began… 'Real Emotion' – Koda Kumi
'What can I do for you?'
The bass jammed and echoed along the parking lot, as the Evo slowly backed out…
'What can I do for you? (Yeah heh) What can I do for you?
In an instant, the Lancer accelerated outta there, like a hunter with an objective.
'What can I do for you? I can hear you.'
Minako had just finished her work, but had decided, she had nothing left to do. She was basically free for the rest of the day, so she decided to go for a little walk on her own. Her sister had taken the car again, so Minako decided to spend her time in the city for a while…
'Ano
hi kokoro no kanata ni egaiteta basho ni iru
tohou ni kuretetari
suru keredo mou modorenai'
A short moment later,
Minako's phone started to beep, receiving an SMS:
'Meet D1
bridge. Bout 5 minutez'
A smile graced Minako's face. She continued to walk on, making her way to where her heart told her she had to go…
'yume ni mita katachi to wa
nanimokamo
ga chigau'
The Evo V bolted across the streets, avoiding the traffic, cut through the lights and sped away.
'genjitsu ni wa... memai sae suru'
The Evo revved up, engine roared, and wheels spun. The car sent itself flying sideways along the route D1 downhill.
'riaru na
sekai ni yureteru kanjyou maketakunai
mou tada hashiru shikanai
kono mune ni
kikoetekuru
kimi wa hitori jyanai'
Minako walked slowly, big smile on her face, but yet she still felt a bit worried. Soon did she realize, this was not a moment to be worrying. It was a time to let go of all her fears of the future and regrets of the past.
'What can I do for you? What can I do for you? I can hear you'
The driver of the Lancer made no hesitations. Bass pumped along the interior as he revved higher. He opened his windows, and threw pieces of bandages and a sling out the window.
'kesshite furimuki wa shinai anata ni wa
toyoranai
nanika ga areba kanarazu suguni kite kureru kara'
Minako carried her bag on her shoulder, and gripped her phone tightly in excitement.
'ima boku ni dekiru
koto
sore wa shinjiru koto...'
Valves hissed, and engine roared, again, the Lancer kept its pace, while skillfully avoiding the mild traffic.
'shinjitsu nara kono mune ni aru'
Minako took her wallet out of her bag. She looked on at her photos, cherished them, but closed them away with no more regrets. Her hair blew softly through the wind as she walked on, heart beating fast.
'riaru na sekai ni yureteru
kanjyou
sasaeru no wa
sou anata ga oshietekureta subete
ima
no watashi
daraka, hitori jyanai'
At the end of Route D1, the Lancer slowed down its pace, bass still pumping, making its way through the intersections, music echoing along the sidewalks, as paper bags and confetti were flung across as the car flew past.
'What can I do for you? What can I do for you? I can hear you.'
The D1 first bridge, Minako leaned against the rails, waiting as she gazed at the sunset, heart beating faster.
'What can I do for you? What can I do for you?'
Out the corner, the Evolution V made its presence known
as it came roaring down the street. It slowed right down, but
accidentally drove right past Minako.
The Lancer stopped, and then
backed out in reverse, positioning itself beside Minako.
The
windows rolled down. Fu Huo flicked his head sideways, his fringe
rocking to the right, as he motioned Minako to get in the car.
'What can I do for you? What can I do for you? I can hear you'
Minako jumped in the car, no questions asked. Doors shut, windows opened, bass jamming through the chassis.
'riaru na sekai ni
yureteru kanjyou
kanjitemo
anata ga me o tojita nara soko ni
iru
kizuna ga aru
dakara, hitori jyanai'
The Evo
accelerated and zoomed across the freeway, red neons scanning the
road, the other cars and scenery were just little blurs to them.
'riaru na sekai ni yureteru kanjyou
maketakunai
mou
tada hashiru shikanai kono mune ni
kikoete kuru
kimi wa hitori
jyanai'
The Evo reached top speed, and soared like a
dragon, and growled like a beast. Entering Route D1, the car didn't
slow down for anything, until the first hairpin curve. Gears down,
revs high, the Lancer Evolution shot itself sideways and disappeared
from view, along just like the sun…
'What can I do for you?
(Yeah heh)
What can I do for you? (Ooh baby)
I can hear you'
