Southern Knights

OK last time raven took Salina hostage to get Kenneth to agree on a race against him.

Kenneth saved Salina after agreeing to the race the next Saturday. FYI Salina is going to have the baby soon so I think I'll end the story with that happening.

Chap. 13: Rally Partners!

"Kenneth are you sure about this?" asked Richard as he looked at Kenneth readying the gunmetal black 1970 Porsche 914-4.

"Yes I'm sure I'll show Raven true speed." Said Kenneth coldly.

"We're running with you." Said Brandon.

"No! Your not!" said Kenneth.

"Kenneth this time you aren't getting us out." Said Richard as he walked up to the gold 1967 Chevelle Malibu SS.

"This time it will be the True Southern knights racing." Said JR as he walked in.

"What do you mean?" asked Brandon as he leaned against his black 1967 RS Camaro with silver racing stripes.

A low mean Rumble was heard as Mua pulled his 1996 Dodge Viper V12 into the garage. Next to the Blue and White R1.

"So you guys want to run with us like when it all started." Said Kenneth.

"Yes return to the beginning." Said Mua.

"Fine this will be a race not only a team downhill but also a city and highway sprint." Said Kenneth as he stood.

"I'm coming I want that guy know not to mess with me." Said Salina as she entered and walked up to Kenneth.

"No! That's were I draw the line."

"You're not going to win against me." Said Salina with a smile.

"Fine but if this keeps up it will be very dangerous do you think you could still follow?" asked Kenneth.

"I'll do fine."

That week was spent readying for the race. The roads were set the barriers so the roads would be clear. The Cars were set and Raven was contacted about the type of race it would be.

Back at the shop the day before the race.

"Kenneth I was always wondering why you chose Akina as a place to race when you first arrived." Said Itekani.

"Cause Akina is a lot like the Course that I learned on back in South Carolina." Said Kenneth as he spoke to the members of the Speed Stars.

"Now I understand." Said Takumi

"That's why you were able to attack it like you did. Because I was similar to your home course."

"right." Said Kenneth.

Mount Myogi…

"Your what I don't want the TR-7 it only has 250hp I need more than that…What! You guys hid the power but why… I wouldn't have pushed it… Ok maybe I would have… fine." Said Daylan as he hung up his phone.

"So the TR-7 has 517hp in that rally car body I guess I would be better but I think once I get it I'll still run the X540 but for Highway instead. The TR-7 is more for the mountain but I could do Wangan." Said Daylan as he drove to work.

The X540 was powerful but could it be competitive with to cars on Wangan. Daylan was unsure I finally decided the X540 would be back up and a daily driver.

After his shift was over Daylan sat inside his X540 for a few minutes just staring off into space. There was a knock on his passenger window. Daylan looked over to See Maka standing there. Daylan unlocked the door and motioned for her to take a seat.

After doing so she asked, "what's wrong you aren't your normal happy self lately?"

"Well I found out that for a long time my family thought I wasn't good enough and I final thought they had changed when I started driving the TR-7 back home."

"And why is that bothering you?" asked Maka.

"Well I found out they thought I still wasn't any good the hid my own power and now they are asking if I need help or want to come back. They keep treating me like a kid that is everyone except Kenneth. And he barely acknowledges my existence."

"Ah I see you want to BE respected right?"

"Yea that's about it."

"Well yo9u need to make people respect you not just wait until the chose to."

"Your right but I don't know what I can do."

Maka exited the car and went back inside as Miki ran out to Al's Mark II.

"That's it! I'll race the Blak Nites when I get the TR-7 back." Said Daylan as he pulled out onto the Highway and sped for Akina. He needed to talk to Kenneth about this.

When Daylan arrived No one was there. He headed up the mountain to see a large crowd and Kenneth sitting against the wrecked BTR.

Daylan pulled the X540 in and slid to a stop. "Kenneth! What happened!"

"There was a 205 rally car that forced me into a spin."

"Don't worry I'll be fine but I want you to watch your back there is no doubt that they will come for you." Said Kenneth as he stood.

"Let them come I'm getting the TR-7 back tomorrow in its true form the 517hp form." Said Daylan showing the true hatred he harbored. And with that the X540 peeled out and down the mountain with a rally RS200 following him.

As Daylan rounded the final turn and exited off the pass he noticed the RS200 was following him. Just like the 240RS had when Daylan first got the X540. "So you want to play follow the leader follow this!" said Daylan as he floored the accelerator and Slid through the tight steers towards the Highway.

As soon as the X540 reached the onramp Daylan saw the 240RS up ahead. "Move Bitch!" yelled Daylan as he realized the 240RS was going to block him. Daylan swerved and sent the X540 into the air over the top of the 240RS landing in front of it with the X540 spraying up sparks as the undercarriage hit the ground.

Akito was patrolling with Aoyama in the BMW when they saw the X540 hit the ground and take off.

Akito turned on his lights and took off after the Chaser not knowing that Daylan was behind the wheel. Seeing the lights Daylan changes he is the true runner as Daylan floors the Accelerator and slides through traffic with the skill of a former rally expert and the Speed of a Bootlegger.

"Come on. For cops you guys aren't what I expected." Said Daylan until he looked in his mirror again to see the BMW closing at a high aggressive rate of speed. Daylan poured on the power but it was not enough the BMW slammed into the rear of the Chaser.

"Fucker!" yelled Daylan as he felt the Chaser begin to destabilize. Daylan yanked the E-brake sending the Chaser into the front of the BMW then forced the X540 to the limit and slid through the turn barely missing a semi truck.

The Chaser then started a spin but regained control until the BMW again rammed the Chaser this time Daylan couldn't keep control and he slid into the barriers but thanks to his experience in SC and Rally he was able to avoid totaling the Chaser but he wouldn't be able to drive it for a while.

Daylan reached for his Luger 22 but before he could Akito and Aoyama had their weapons trained on him.

"Get out of the car!" yelled Akito. Daylan knew when he was beat.

Daylan slowly exited the car and Akito took him into custody. He called the Academy to pick up the car.

"Why were you going so fast?" asked Aoyama on the way to the station.

"My bro told me that someone w might try to target me and when I noticed a RS200 following me I took off." Said Daylan as he looked at Aoyama.

"Ok I can understand taking off with the RS200 behind you but why did you get the airtime?"

"Well there was a 240RS that has been appearing ever sense I moved here from SC and I think that they were planning to take me hostage or kill me."

"SC do you mean South Carolina?" asked Akito as he looked back at Daylan.

"Yea I moved here so I could try my hand at Mountain racing after all I used to run my TR-7 in rally."

"TR-7! SC! Your Kenneth little brother Daylan!" said Aoyama with surprise.

"Yea and what difference does that make."

"We'll help you get your car back to running condition and better." Said Akito

"Why the sudden kindness?" asked Daylan confused now.

"Well Kenneth and his Friends and Family have been under attack lately." Said Aoyama

"And we had formed and Alliance with him." Finished Akito

"Well if you could help me get the X540 on the road that's all I need I'm not going to be racing it anymore." Said Daylan as he gave a small grin.

"What are you going to race then?" asked a confused Akito

"My 1970 TR-7 rally car with 517hp and 465ft.lbs of torque." Said Daylan as he watched a lancia Stratos Rally car speed by and dive off towards the Academy.

The BMW parked and Daylan was let go but was aloud to meet everyone before he left.

"So your Daylan nice to meet you finally." Said Sagara as he Shook Daylan's hand and then looked as the Chaser was brought into the shop.

"What's with the Chaser guys?" asked Sagara as he looked toward Akito.

"It's mine." Said Daylan.

"Oh… we'll help you fix it and get it ready to race if you end up meeting those rally guys anytime soon." Said Chief

"Its ok I can get it back to its old level soon and I'm getting the back my 1970 Triumph TR-7 rally car…" Daylan was cut off along with his windpipe as Takako gave him a big hug.

"Takako… Air need me." Said Daylan turning blue.

"Oops." Said Takako giggling.

"Wait you two know each other?" said Sagara with the most hilarious look of confusion on his face.

"Yea of course we do we used to race Rally. I drove the Stratos and Daylan Drove the TR-7." Said Takako with a smile.

"Yea we partners." Said Daylan with a smile.

"On or off the track Asked Sagara suspiciously.

Takako Chimed in, "both" she said with a happy smile.

Then the radio came to life. "Sagara! Kenneth Crashed after a 205-rally car hit him. He was in the BTR! And now he can't race against Raven. Unless he plans on using the 914 he brought back from SC."

Ok there is chapter 13 I was going to end it there but I got a new idea in my head if you can see were this is going then you can tell this will be some interesting ways of crossing characters. Look in my reviews for a description of some of the other characters used in this story I should be easier this way.

Yes Outlaw it will be pairings between one of your characters and one of mine. I'm really starting to get into writing this again.

Till next time…
