Ok last time the Southern Knights defended their title against the Dark Starz but the RS camaro to a beating and needs to be rebuilt. A new team has shown up at the opportunity to take the southern knights in a wounded state.
Chap. 5: Healing
"Kenneth when do you think we could get the parts?" said Brandon looking at his wounded 67 RS Camaro.
"They will be coming in Wednesday." Said Kenneth as he walked up to his friend.
"So 4 days." "GREAT!" sighed Brandon.
"Brandon here drive the SS." Said Kenneth as he tossed his friend the keys to the SS camaro.
"But Kenneth what will you drive?" said Brandon as Sara entered the Shop.
"Hey Kenneth I got something for you." Said Sara as she handed Kenneth a letter.
Kenneth sat down and read the letter aloud.
"This is an official challenge from the akina Demonic Nights for a race Tuesday on Akina.
Signed Demonic Nights"
"WHAT!" yelled Richard.
"Kenneth what are we going to do?" said Brandon calmly.
"Brandon last time I let you drive the Camaro SS did you fell comfortable with it?" said Kenneth as he stood.
"Yea but why?" said Brandon apprehensively
"Sara do you know what these Demonic Knight drive and their numbers?" said Kenneth as he looked at her.
"Yea they have a 550hp Sil-Eighty , a 725hp Supra RZ, and a 450hp Yamaha R1." Said Sara.
"ok then Brandon you'll run the SS Camaro on the downhill against the Sil-Eighty, Richard you'll take the Chevelle on the uphill against the Supra, and I'll take the R1 on the downhill." Said Kenneth with a smile on his face.
"Kenneth what are you going to drive?" said Brandon.
"The Demon BTR it has a similar power to weight ratio is near the same and the handling should be even." Said Kenneth with a sigh.
"You'll get yourself killed in that thing!" said Richard.
"It's not up for debate." Said Kenneth as he approached the BTR.
All the BTRs damage from the attack on the GT2 was fixed and covered in a fresh coat of silver. With that the three headed up to mount Akina to run the downhill in the new configuration.
Everything was a bit shaky but Kenneth was able to drive the BTR downhill but controlling it was a different story.
Soon it was Tuesday and the Southern Knights waited at the summit the pass was packed with spectators waiting to see how the injured Southern Knight would far against this new team.
"Daylan what do you think will happen?" asked Al
"I'm not sure but I know that Kenneth, Richard, and Brandon are some of the best racers I've ever meant. But if they pull this one out the bag then it will be something more." Said Daylan as he stood next to Nik, Al, and Mei.
Suddenly the Demonic Nights passed. The R1 in front followed bye the Supra and finally the Sil-Eighty. Daylans Eyes bulged as he realized who the first two were.
"What are they doing in JAPAN!" yelled Daylan.
"What are you so worked up about?" asked Mei.
The R1 is JR from back in SC he was known as The Drift Diver. The supra was Moah known as The Snake Charmer back in SC when he drove a 1027hp dodge viper." Said Daylan as he hung his head.
"Why are you so worried?" asked Al
"Because they were the original Knights until the left to lonewolf the streets. The only reason that they couldn't get the mountains was because of Kenneth in the 914." Said Daylan.
At the top the three Knights heard a familiar exhaust note coming up the hill.
"Could that be?" said Brandon
His question was answered when a blue and white Yamaha R1 came around the corner followed by a phantom black Supra RZ and a hunter green Sil-Eighty.
As the three drivers pulled up Kenneth, Richard, and Brandon were shocked to see JR, Moah and Sara made up the team.
"I thought you two were lonewolfing it…" said the irate Richard
"Well that didn't work so we made our own team and got the best driver we could find for our third." Said the always cocky JR.
"So you were acting as a mole." Said Kenneth to Sara.
"Well somewhat I didn't give them all the info just that you accepted the race and everyone knew about the RS being out of commission.
"Well that doesn't change the fact that we are here to race." Said Kenneth.
The SS Camaro pulled up to the line followed by the Sil-Eighty.
"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…GO!"
The two cars tore off the line and began the downhill run the SS Camaro in front. Until the first turn were Brandon lost the lead due to his lack of experience with the SS camaro.
Around every turn the Ss lost ground but on the straits it was an easy winner.
At the 5-point hairpins Brandon was forced to take them slower than ever before. Bye the time it was over Brandon was 2 seconds behind Sara and the Sil-Eighty.
"Damn Brandon lost" said Richard really irate.
"Well Richard you need to win the uphill if we won't a chance at winning this thing." Said Kenneth over the radio.
"Ok well let's get it started." Said Richard as he set blackeyed peas: Let's get it started! Playing.
The two 700+hp cars tore off up the mountain with impressive force.
At the first corner Richard initiated his block drift and slid through the first turn with the Supra on his tail. And so it went until the first real straightaway. The Chevelle pulled away with ease and slid through the next set of turns without incident.
AS they approached the 5-point hairpins Moah sped in with the supra faked wide and dived under the Chevelle taking the lead but just barley.
"Damn if I had my Viper you would be history Richard!" cursed Moah.
The order remain Richard out infront until the final turn were the supra pushed by. The Chevelle powered by the Supra on the strait and won by .5seconds.
"Ok the final race will decide the winner." Announced Sara.
"Well JR we will see what is greater my drift and the BTR or your grip and the R1." Said Kenneth coldly.
Kenneth cranked the beast with a haunting roar. Down at last-ditch turn Sagara could already hear the monster coming alive.
"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…GO!"
The two racers shot off the line the BTR taking an early lead. As the approached their first turn the BTR began a drift when the R1 dived underneath it and slid into first only to be caught exiting the turn by the powerful BTR as it roared down the mountain a suicidal speeds.
Around the next 5 turns the dive and drift was repeated until the BTR swung into a drift inside the R1s line of attack. The R1 was griping the road and pushing all the power strait to the ground.
The S turn was next and this is were the BTR would pull away. Kenneth entered the turn heal toe downshifted and sent the car into a drift which was reversed in an instant.
On the strait the BTR tore away from the R1 and entered the high-speed turn at 3 times the speed of the R1. Kenneth was controlling the beast but just barley.
Every turn was a battleground a war between 4 wheels and 2 between Super bike or Super car. The 5-point hairpins were taken at upwards of 150mhp. The groove drifting was Kenneth's savior in this race.
The final turn was were things got interesting it as groove drift against groove ride. The 2 racers entered at an extreme speed but he BTR never slowed while the slick surface forced the R1 to brake and loose momentum.
After the Race the Southern Knights headed home to get rest before the rebuild project the next day.
The BTR pulled into the E3 shop were Kenneth swapped the car for the shop MR-2 GT-S and drove that home.
"Well next time maybe I'll end up racing the Blak Nites or the Tokyo battalions, or Project D, maybe even that Project S... I'll just have to hope for the best." Said Kenneth as he sat inside the MR-2 looking at the custom gauges.
OK I know this chapter was shorter than the others but I just didn't have the will to go on right now so I figured I would give you the race and end it their until I get back in the groove.
Reviews would help I need peoples honest thoughts on the story. Please help thanks bye!
