Southern Legends: GT-R Goddess

Last time Kizuna, Marlene, and Amy restarted the Southern Knights with Marlene running her 1985 ford RS200 capable of 0-60 in 2.1seconds. Amy in her custom 1992 Honda CR-X Del Sol SiR V-tech with a 50/50 split AWD system. Kizuna continued driving her 1995 Skyline GT-R N1 R33with a naturally aspirated RB26 and an optional Attessa AWD. Kizuna has set a race with team Sti Supremacy in less than a week on akina pass.

Chapter 5: disaster strikes!

Kizuna had told her friends about the race and was taking a final run for the day on akina's downhill before she would head home. It was 11:30pm as the white R33 slid through the turns.

Kizuna was trying to get as close to the inside of right turns as possible. When a pair of headlights rounded the corner. Kizuna instinctively slammed the brakes and swerved. The R33 clipped the delivery truck and spun into the rail.

The posts stopped the R33 from going over but it shot out the shocks on the front left and the body sustained major damage. Kizuna was knocked unconsous by the hard hit.

5 minutes later kizuna woke her ears twitching looking for anything out of the norm. Then she pushed the airbag away and exited her R33 to inspect the damage.

"DAMN IT!" yelled Kizuna as she kicked the tire. She pulls out a switchblade and cut away the airbag. She tried to start the R33, which roared to life in pain. She put the car in reverse and got back out onto the pass and head home slowly with the tire rubbing every time she turned right or stopped.

Kizuna pulled the crippled R33 into the firestation to see her mother standing there with a worried look. "Kizuna are you ok?" said Salina very worried. "I'm fine mom. I just had a little incident on the mountain." Said Kizuna with a sigh.

"Well then what's wrong?" asked Salina. Kizuna looked at her mother and said, "well I have a race this Saturday and now I know I wont be able to pull through."

"Salina thought for a moment and then said, "Kizuna follow me I would like to show you something." Salina lead Kizuna to a corner of the firestation that was dark and filled by three cars.

"You don't expect me to drive the BTR or the Camaro right?" said Kizuna a little worried.

"No but I think your father would have wanted you to have this." Said Salina as she brought kizuna to a dust covered car cover over what appeared to be a coupe of some kind.

"Kizuna helped her mother remove the cover to reveal a bright blue Subaru impreza. She circled the car and looked at the rear seeing know WRX sign she got confused until she noticed the 22B Sti version badge in the bottom left corner of the trunk lid. "A 22B…"

"Yes your dad built it for running Usui but never got to use it. But I think he would wont you to have it." Said Salina with a smile as her daughter hugged her.

Thanks so much mom." Said Kizuna with a smile as she opened the 22B and started the twin turbo 2287cc boxer motor. But she felt something more. Kizuna popped the hood to see a very small supercharger with just enough power to eliminate turbo lag. The four 96' dodge viper wheels sat waiting for their chance to hit the streets.

Kizuna ran her hands over the steering wheel and griped the leather shifter. She breathed in felling the car ease with the presence of a driver.

The 2287cc boxer seemed to run super smoothly and the tiny supercharger acted as an antilag system. She pushed in the clutch. It felt firm and the accelerator was very responsive. Kizuna was tense so she headed out onto the highway at 3:00 in the morning.

This 22B slide between cars as it headed to Usui pass. In the 22B Nelly/Heart of a Champion played as Kizuna sat focused as she began her uphill run. Kizuna was clearing her mind when a blue Sil-Eighty flew by her on the downhill followed by a red Supra RZ.

"That was Zephern's Supra! Said Kizuna in surprised. AS she finished her uphill run she saw the blue Sil-Eighty followed by the red supra. The two cars pulled up and began another run. Kizuna was tired of waiting so she took off after the two.

AS she rounded the first turn she could fell the response as the rear slid out and the front griped the turn showing the true power of the 22B as it exited the turn the acceleration put Kizuna right on the Sil-Eighty's tail.

Kizuna used the next turn to push the Subaru's AWD to the limit. She then saw small droplets cover her windshield. Soon the small drizzle had become a pouring tyrant as the Sil-Eighty sped forward after the Supra. Kizuna sped down after the Sil-Eighty around turn after turn.

The Supra was holding on but only barely. Kizuna suddenly noticed the C 121 sign blow by.

In the Sil-eighty. "Maya C121 get ready."

The Supra slid out and was startled to see the Sil-Eighty blow by him but more so when Zephern saw the 22B and it's driver he slammed his brakes.

"Well Maya it seems that someone wants to run with us." Said Simone as she watched the 22B accele5rate out of C121.

"Well let's give him what he wants." Said Maya

The Sil-Eighty hit the next few turns hard with the 22B on its tail.

"So this is the famous blue impact of Usui pass." Said Kizuna as she held tight to the Sil-Eightys bumper.

The two cars were soon headed to the final turn. The 22B suddenly used an out-out-in style drift and pulled along side of the Sil-Eighty, which soon jetted forward.

Maya brought the Sil-Eighty to a stop in a small parking lot. The 22B followed them in and parked in front of them.

Maya slowly stepped out of the Sil-Eighty followed by Simone. "I wonder who he is?" said Simone.

Kizuna shut down the 22B and exited the powerful 22B. "Hello…" said Kizuna with a slight bow.

"Oh you're a girl. Said Maya as she approached Kizuna.

"But what's with the cat ears." Said Simone as she touched one of kizuna's ears, which twitched.

"Ah there real!" said Simone in shock.

"So what's your name?" asked Maya.

"It's Kizuna Ethridge of the Southern Knights." Said Kizuna calmly.

"Oh you're the daughter of that Kenneth fellow." Said Maya.

"Yea he was fast from what I saw that one race. I wonder what happened to him?" said Simone

"Kizuna's ears drooped as she answered Simone's question. "My dad died."

"Oh I'm so sorry." Said Simone quickly.

"Anyways so I heard about the Southern Knights being resurrected but from what I read on the local street racers listings you drive a Skyline GT-R N1 R33 without turbos or attessa." said Maya

"Yea and your other members drive a RS200 and a CR-X Del Sol SiR V-Tech. But here you are driving a 22B what's with that?' said Simone

"Well I crashed the GT-R practicing on akina when a truck came around the corner so while my skylines getting serviced I'm driving my dads old 22B that he never got to race.

"Well Kizuna hope to see you soon." Said Maya as she watched kizuna get back into the 22B.

"Well we have a racethis Saturday on akina if you want to come." Said Kizuna as she started the 22B and pulled back out and headed home.

Kizuna was happy with the 22B but couldn't wait to get her skyline back from the Nissan dealership. She simply drove home and fell asleep awaiting the morning so she could get to work to get parts for her GT-R.

Ok they is chapter 5. Kizuna is driving a 22B impreza instead of the GT-R for a little while. But trust me when she gets the GT-R back it will be better than ever. Kizuna is used to people wondering about her ears so Simone's comment didn't bother her.

Till next time…
