Chapter 2: The rest of the Cannonballers
A 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser with yellow paint, zen symbol on hood and 35 inch tires with 18 inch chrome rims drove down the highway. Inside were three people. One wore a samurai gi and a pair of glasses, one wore a red shirt and blue shorts with sandels and the third was a teenage girl in a purple kimono. The girl sat in the back while the guy with glasses drove. Th third person sat in the passenger seat. Their names are Jin, Mugen and Fuu.
"So what is this called again?" Mugen asked as he moved the seat back to lay down.
"I call it the Shogun." Jin said.
"Shogun meet the Cannonball Run. Cannonball Run meet the Shogun."

Dim pulled the tarp off of the object it was covering. He gasped when he saw a 1987 Honda CRX with front and rear bumpers, side skirts, wing on back and painted cinnamon pearl. He checked inside and found that it has a internal computer.
"Wow Dan. This is great for the Cannonball Run." Dim said. "Let me guess...e-Bay?"
Dan wore his corporate suckup clothing. As he had on all e-Bay number one clothes, including a foam finger and a balloon. "Yeah."
"I think I like this internal computer is going to work out great." JT said as he sat in the back playing around with the internal computer.
"JT, don't mess with it." Dim warned. "We still have to..."
JT accidently set off the car alarm. Causing all three to plug their ears with their fingers. In the end, JT turned the alarm off and accidently launched a flare from the front of the car. It shot out and bounced all over the garage before going out the open window.
"OHMYGODI'MONFIRE!" cried Tom as he was set a blaze by the flare.
"Sorry Tom!" JT said. "My fault!"
"Well we better call a ambulance and the fire department before we leave then." Dan said.
They didn't know they were being watched, but they were and from a crystal ball no less. The owners of the top three gaming companies in the world. These men are the Head of Square Enix, Head of Capcom and Head of Konami. You can tell who is the owner of Konami as he's wearing a Solid Snaka bandana around his head.
"Did I just hear correctly?" Square Enix said. "Are they entering the Cannonball Run?"
"I think so." Capcom said. "Shall we enter it?"
"Nah. Even if our racing skills are good or we've practiced on various racing games. Our skills won't be enough to win." Square Enix said.
"Why don't we steal the money?" Konami said. Square Enix and Capcom looked up at him.
"Thats exactly what we'll do." Square Enix said. "Then when we have the money. We can create a Cannonball Run game with us as the winners and main characters."
Then he started to laugh maniacally and thunder was heard outside. "Okay who plugged back in the Dolby Surround Sound 4.0: Evil Edition?"
"No one." Capcom said. "It said on the news that we're supposed to get a thunder storm."
"Lets hope that the..." Just as Square Enix was about to finish his sentence, the power went out. "Great!"

"Devil Never Cry..." Dante said as he listened to the person on the other end. "About time you called Kratos. Where are you? I'm waiting for you and X to get here so we can go to the Cannonball Run starting line."
Just then there is a honk outside. So Dante hung up and looked out the window.

"Nice name." Dante said.

"Well okay sorry. Now do you three have your permission slips?"
"Ah Coach, its summer. Why do we even need permission slips anyway?" Jason asked.
"Well Jason, its because I'm taking you around the world for the Cannonball Run. I need these permission slips in case something happens to you. But I won't let anything happen to you. Now get in the damn car so we can stop and get something to eat; before we head to Los Angeles."

"WHO IS HE CALLING A BLONDE HAIRED MIDGET?" came the muffled voice in the back. Roy pulled the Philospher's Car to a complete stop by the side of the road and grinned.
"Why are you smiling Roy?" Maes asked. "Don't tell me you were planning on the Elric brothers on being in the back?"

Luffy AKA the Rubber Boy, swordsman Zolo, navigator Nami, sharpshooter with a sling shot Usopp and finally the Strawhat pirates crew Sanji. Sanji just so happens to make stir fry from a wok on the fire.
"Beef Stir Fry will be done in a minute." Sanji said.
"Great because I'm hungry." Luffy cried.
"Luffy of out of all the names you could name our vehicle." Zolo said. "You just had to name it after our ship, the Merry Go."
"I couldn't think of any good names BESIDES Merry Go." Luffy retorted.
"Stop fighting you guys." Nami said.
"Nami's right." Usopp entered into the fray. "We should be thankful we have a vehicle to enter the Cannonball Run."
Just then a spaceship flew overhead and landed in a open field nearby.
"What the hell was that?" Zolo asked. Usopp, Luffy and Zolo went to go check it out. They saw three human figures walk off the ship. One male with blue hair, a female with blue hair and a man with gauntlets on his arms and blonde hair. The blond haired man pulled out a futuristic communicator.
"Okay Mirage. Bring it out." the blonde haired man said.
"Roger Cliff." Mirage replied. A 1984 Nissan Maxima Station Wagon, painted yellow with shredder graphics and chrome rims, drives out of the ship and out of that comes a blonde haired woman. Luffy turns to his fellow pirates.
"They're aliens!" Luffy shouted.
"We're actually from the far future." Cliff said from behind the three. All three turned around and screamed bloody murder.
"Who're you guys!" Zolo shouted.
"My name is Cliff Fittir." The blonde haired man said. "This here is Fayt Leingod, Maria Traydor and Mirage Koas."
Then he points to their vehicle.
"That right there is our entry for the Cannonball Run. We call it the Thunder Arrow."
"Hey you guys! Stir fry is ready!" Sanji yelled from the campfire.
"We have plenty of food if you care to join us." Luffy said.
"Sure, sounds good." Cliff said as he followed the three pirates.

Driving is survivalist and gun lover Burt Gummer. Navigating to Los Angeles is tour guide Tyler Reed.
"It could be a lot worse Burt." Tyler said. "It could've painted completely pink."
Burt was not happy that his entry for the first ever worldwide Cannonball Run had pink on it. He should've let Nancy and Mindy paint the El Blanco.
"When we get to L.A. We find a paint shop and paint it white." Burt said. "It's called the El Blanco, not the El Pinko."
Tyler couldn't help but laugh.

One side tangerine candy and the other side candy blue with graphics across the car. There are also 18" Volk rims and Goodyear run flat tires on the car too. The car is called the Bandit.
"Lupin old buddy." Jigen said. "Shouldn't we get to the Los Angeles Convention Center?"
Lupin checked his watch. "Yeah we better get there Jigen. The other racers should be arriving any minute now. Goemon could you go pay for our drinks?"
Lupin handed Goemon the money for their drinks and once the bill was paid. The three thieves were on their way to the convention center in the Bandit. They arrived at the Bandit, only to find that there was another event there or at least it was pretty much over.
"You've got to be kidding me." Jigen said. "Lupin, are you sure the Cannonball was supposed to be this week?"
"Yeah, there was a convention here over the weekend and ended today. So they're going to pack everything up from this convention, when we leave the starting line."
"Perfect timing for this kind of convention to end. Now most people won't be bored talking to the other racers."
Author's Comment: Well here is the long awaited second chapter. What convention would they be referring too? You'll find out in chapter three. You can take a stab at it, but please don't post it in your review. If you're correct, then we don't want you to spoil the surprise. Now coming chapter four, I'll give you all specific instructions to vote for the winning vehicle for the Cannonball Run. The only thing I can tell you is that you're NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE REVIEW SYSTEM TO CAST YOUR VOTE! One reason is that has banned the use of the review system as a message board. Actually you know what. I'll tell you right now. Voting WILL BE DONE THROUGH E-MAIL! Here is what I ask of you when you send me you're e-mail:
E-mail Address: My e-mail address is on my bio. If you're not registered, then please do so. Because I'm not posting my e-mail address on here for everyone to see.
Subject: Cannonball Run Carmageddon
Body of E-mail: Give me your vote from chapter 4 to the chapter before the post race party. For chapters 2 and 3, just give me a guess on who you think will place in the top three.
It's that simple. I just want to make sure this fic stays up and follows guidelines and rules. Just follow the example above and everything will be fine. This voting system will be the same for Cannonball Run 6: Full Throttle. I won't write the post race chapter for CR6 until I have all of the chapters for CR6 up. So you've got a good deal of waiting for CR6. It won't be out for a while.
