What a better to end the story then with a race and some AC/DC. The lyrics were taken from the AC/DC Live cd so they're not the same as the originals.
So without further ado here's the last ch.
The Final Race
The day came and went so fast that it was hard to tell what time it really was. Dom, Jeremy, and Todd spent the day at TJ's fixing up Jeremy's Escalade. Ulrich spent the day trying to make sure his car was ready for the race. He ended up calling Odd every ten minutes because he didn't know what he was doing. Eventually Odd had to wheel his way down to Yumi's apartment to help Ulrich out. The time came for the two teams to arrive at the intersection and get ready to race.
"Ok this is how it's going to be we race until we get to the finish line. A special thanks to TJ for setting up my after party without my consent," said Caleb as he eyed Dom.
"Let's just get this over with," said Ulrich.
"Tough words for a wannabe," said Caleb.
"You better take those words seriously when he passes you," said Todd.
"Wait he's racing with you," said Caleb completely surprised.
"Sure is," said Todd.
"Well where's your car hot shot?" asked Lee.
Todd nodded to Dom and he walked over to the parked pickups trailer and pulled off the tarp on Todd's 2005 Mustang.
"Wow, that has great detail I just hope it can keep up," said Caleb.
"You should just worry about keeping up with my exhaust fumes," said Todd.
"Very funny, let's do this," said Lee.
Lee and Caleb got into their cars. Lee was driving his 350 Z and Caleb was driving his black '05 Pontiac GTO. Ulrich got into his Eclipse and Todd brought the Mustang off of the trailer. As the Mustang pulled up to the line you could hear the body vibrating from the engines power. Nikki got out of the Mustang and gave Todd a good luck kiss. She turned and waved to Ulrich, who gave her a head nod. Dom came over to Todd's car.
"Go kick his ass bro," said Dom as he and Todd bumped fists. Dom then turned to Ulrich. "Stay sharp and don't watch the rear view mirror. Let him try to catch you."
AC/DC Bonnie and Highway to Hell
(Collectors edition Live CD)
Bonnie
I'll take the high road
Nikki walked in front of the four cars and raised her arms.
and you'll take the low road
All four cars revved their engines.
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
She then looked at each driver.
But me and my true love
Will never meet again
On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond
She dropped her arms and the four cars shot off the line.
Highway to Hell
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride.
Caleb and Lee take an early lead over Ulrich and Todd.
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
"Don't turn it on just yet," Todd said to Ulrich over his walkie-talkie.
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Caleb and Lee stretched their lead to ten car lengths.
Going down, for the time
My friends are gonna be there too
"NOW!" Todd radioed to Ulrich.
I'm on a highway to hell
Highway to hell
Todd and Ulrich both hit the switch to turn on their hidden blowers.
I'm on a highway to hell
Todd's Mustang accelerated much faster than Ulrich's Eclipse. Ulrich was getting worried about loosing him.
I'm on a highway to hell
"Don't worry about loosing sight of me just pass Caleb and Lee," said Todd.
No stop signs, speed limit
Caleb heard the Mustang get louder and looked in his rearview mirror to see it coming up on him really fast. He looked at his speedometer to see that he was only going 160.
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Todd flew past Caleb and he came so close to Caleb's car that the wind picked up its rear end causing the GTO to spinout.
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
"Chew on that sucker!" shouted Todd.
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin' my dues
Caleb watched as Ulrich passed him and was going for Lee.
"Lee what ever you do don't let him pass, I'll be right there to help make sure the win is a tie," said Caleb into his walkie-talkie.
Playing in a rocking band
Ooh Momma, just look at me
I'm on my way to the Promised Land
Lee looked in his rear view mirror to see Ulrich coming up on him really fast. 'There's no way that thing has that much power,' thought Lee.
I'm on the highway to hell
Ulrich came up to Lee but Lee managed to move into his way causing Ulrich to slow down.Lee did a pretty good job of not letting Ulrich pass him. But the race was more than half way done. If Lee wanted to take Ulrich out now was the time.
Highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell, yeah
Ulrich got past Lee and started to increase the distance between them. Lee hit the nitrous button and started to close in on Ulrich's rear bumper. He pressed another button and two metal rods came out of his front bumper. Ulrich couldn't help but look in his rear view mirror and he caught sight of the two rods.
Don't stop me! Yeah, Yeah, YEAH!
He frantically looked around and then he saw a street sign. It read Providence Ave. Ulrich knew that the race was nearly over. He looked in his rear view mirror to not only see the Z getting closer but he could make out the head lights of Caleb's car. Then Ulrich remembered Jeremy. Ulrich laid on the horn hoping Jeremy would hear it.
I'm on a highway to hell
Ulrich didn't see the Escalade but he did get a bump in the rear from the Z. He then looked at his speedometer; which read 150mph. It should have red more he then noticed that his rpm's were at max and the light for the Triton was off but the switch was still set to on.
I'm on a highway to hell
"Shit," muttered Ulrich. He then saw Caleb pass him, Ulrich knew that Caleb was using nitrous. Then Ulrich noticed that the Z was trying to push him onto the sidewalk.
I'm on a highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
Seconds later there was a loud screech of tires and a bang. Ulrich's car shook and then started to move faster. The light for the triton went back on. Ulrich looked into his rearview mirror to see Jeremy's beefed up Escalade slammed into the Z.
Highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
Ulrich floored his Eclipse and hit the nitrous.
I'm on a highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
Caleb was closing in on Todd but he knew that Todd didn't have the car floored. Caleb knew Todd would win. He could hear the faint sound of music and he knew the end was near. With his nitrous exhausted Caleb made sure that Ulrich wasn't behind him.
And I'm going down to hell; yeah; all the way down
He looked into his rear view mirror to see a surprise.
I'm on a highway to hell yeah!
"HELL NO!" cried Caleb as he saw Ulrich's car close in on his back bumper.
Ulrich slid to the left and Caleb tried to follow. But Ulrich still had nitrous left and he used it to make the pass. Ulrich gave Caleb the middle finger salute as he passed him. Caleb was enraged and slammed his fist on the steering wheel. The crowd could now be heard cheering loudly as Todd and Ulrich both crossed the finish line. The people in the crowd pulled the two drivers from their cars and started giving them pats on the backs, high fives, some even hugged. Next their girlfriends tackled them both.
After the crowd backed off the rest of the gang walked over to them.
"You did it," said Mandy.
"That was the roughest race I have ever driven and I don't want to do that again," said Ulrich.
"Well you did it, I'm just surprised Caleb didn't do anything too major," said Dom.
"Hey look at my rear end, it has two holes in it," said Ulrich.
"Actually it's gone," said Aelita.
"Gone what do you mean gone?" asked Ulrich as he walked to the rear of his car. "MOTHER Fummm!"
"He dude, I'll take care of that for you," said TJ.
"HEY YOU CHEATERS! I NEED TO TALK WITH YOU!" Caleb screamed as he walked over to them.
"Well, well, well, you're late," said Dom.
"SHUTUP!" yelled Caleb.
"Now, now there's no need to get all worked up over a race," said Todd.
"Yeah you lost so get lost," said Yumi.
"Ha! You cheated and you know it," said Caleb.
"I don't know what you are talking about," said Todd.
There was a loud roar and then a crunching noise. Caleb turned around to see his car pushed to the side and a midnight black Escalade with a metal rod front bumper casing. Jeremy stepped out and walked over.
"Uhh, sorry about the car dude, that thing is so tall I couldn't see it," Jeremy lied.
"YOU LITTLE ASS! I'M GOING TO RING YOU DRY!" cried Caleb.
Jeremy stood next to his truck and waited for Caleb to come to him. When Caleb was close enough he went for a punch. Jeremy dodged the punch and then grabbed his head and slammed it into the metal front bumper casing. Caleb fell to the ground knocked out cold.
"Where did you learn that Einstein?" asked Odd.
"It comes natural," said Jeremy.
Todd looked over at Dom who was smiling.
"You taught him to fight dirty," said Todd.
"Do you really think I would do something like that," said Dom sounding innocent.
Everyone just laughed.
"So Todd how fast did she go?" asked Odd.
"She broke 330," said Todd.
"So then how did he catch up to you?" asked Odd.
"I was only traveling at 120 for last quarter of the track," said Todd.
"Yeah and he was using nitrous," said Ulrich. "Oh that reminds me, the Triton shut off on me during the race."
"Hmm, pop the hood," said Todd.
Ulrich did and then Todd took a look at it.
"Where you messing with the car?" asked Todd.
"I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong before the race," said Ulrich.
"Well you knocked the transponder cord loose," said Todd.
"Oh, that was my bad," said Odd.
"Odd you know you're not supposed to do work on cars when you're in a wheel chair," said Mandy.
"That's what you get for crappy service," Todd joked.
Odd just glared at Todd.
"I'm just kidding bro," said Todd.
The rest of the night ended with a giant party. TJ and some of his buddies tied Caleb to a stoplight pole and put a sign on him that said 'Pick me up I'm drunk.' He was later found by the cops and taken into jail because he was wanted to scandalizing big time sponsors for racing events. He got seven years in jail for that and then another charge was placed on him for attempted murder when Odd quit Illegal Street racing and told the police about that night he got into an accident; Caleb got life for that.
One year after the big race Odd was finally able to get out of his wheelchair; his temporary paralysis had been cured and he learned to walk again. He then attended a racing school until he was twenty-two. Then he married Mandy and they ended up having two children aside of keeping Aaron. One boy and one girl, their names were Amy and Charlie. Odd now races with his brother in the 24-hour races. Todd and Nikki got married and had a son named Tyler. Ulrich and Yumi ended up having a double wedding with Jeremy and Aelita. Ulrich ended up helping Yumi out with her music career and they had a daughter named Rina.
Jeremy and Aelita had three kids. Two girls and one boy; the girls were named Crystal and Amber. But Aelita couldn't resist naming their son Odd. She still has that soft spot for him. Dom ended up moving out to California and started tearing up the streets out there. TJ is now the owner of T and D performance; he also employed Jeremy and Aelita to help. T and D performance now helps fix cars and improve the CPU's in the computer to help the cars get more gas mileage. But every once and a while they all get back together at 53rd and 3rd to race; and yes the cops had fun trying to catch their cars but until this day have proven unsuccessful.
