OK last time the race between Kenneth in his newly rebuilt R31 and raven was about to start. Richard and the others are waiting at different places for the race to start.

Chap 15: the turth behind the 914.

"3…2…" the count down was cut off by the sound of the RB30DETT sputtering and dieing.

"Well it looks like that GT-R of yours just isn't up to racing." Said Raven with an evil grin.

"Don't worry I was going to race my 914 in the first place." Said Kenneth with a smile as he walked up to Salina and the 914. The members of both teams helped push the R31 off the line while Kenneth pulled the 914 up to the line.

The man restarted the countdown.

When the race started the ventrui easily pulled away for the 914. The ventrui was about three times as powerful as the small 914. As they entered the first turn Kenneth already reviled why he was known as the low country's 914. The unbeatable 914. The 914 slid through the turn at 120 kph hitting the perfect line.

"No way! How could he close the gap in a car like that 914!" yelled Raven as he saw the 914 close the gap again. Every turn the 914 would be on the bumper of the Ventrui 260LM but on the straits the 914 was nothing compared to the 600hp 260LM.

As they entered the first S-turn the 914 pushed through without using the brake but the ventrui was forced to brake hard. The Raven slowed the ventrui to 60kph when he saw the 914 fly by at upwards of 125kph.

Kenneth was infront but the strait was the enemy it was were the 914 stood no chance.

Kenneth tried to block raven's Ventrui but Raven simply rammed the classic Porsche.

Kenneth suddenly changed not into his pure racing of his demon forms but simply a hardened from full of power and hatred. The Sudden change was evident when the 914 entered the high-speed turn sending the 914 upwards of 250kph exiting as smooth as if he was on a guided path.

The series up ahead was a place for Kenneth to use the 914 to its full advantage. "We'll you stand no chance now raven." Said Kenneth in a voice that seemed like a fighter not the normal racer Kenneth was.

The high speed strait was an amazing sight to see. "So Akito do you think that this will be Kenneth's last race?" said Aoyama.

"It better not be. I still need to beat…." Akito was cut off as the 914 slid sideways past him with the 260LM about to hit the side of the classic 914.

The two hard right-handers were just a simple but difficult series to attack. But not for the 914 and Kenneth. As the small car did things the shocked even Bunta who was in the crowd.

The 914 hit the first turn perfectly but that was the easy part the way the 914 reversed his drift and hit the next turn perfectly was what made it amazing.

The 5-point hairpins were the next hurtle. The 914 used its lightweight to slid through without using the groove drift confusing most but Sagara understood. "He is pushing the Porsche to the limit not over the limit and if he uses the groove drift then his drift is beyond control." Said Sagara as he watched the small black frame disappear around the next hairpin.

Upon exiting the final hairpin the 914 used a groove drift #2 to exit at a higher rate of speed onto the strait. The 260LM was still holding tight. The 914 was headed into the next turn when the ventrui powered by and used the groove drift against the 914.

The strait was an obvious advantage to the ventrui but the 914 was right on the ventrui's tail and not letting up. The 260LM entered the turn to fast but the 914 didn't pass. "Not yet you will understand the beast you have awakened soon enough." Said Kenneth.

As they entered the next turn Kenneth looked at his speedometer drop from 385 kph to 385 kph. The 914 slid outside and taunted the 260LM with such ease it was scary. Abyss by Open Mike play from the 914 so loud it could be heard over the two screaming engines.

The next turn was a 45 Degree left-hander the Porsches territory. The Ventrui slid to the inside and the 914 went wide. Raven looked over to see the black and blue hardened eyes of Kenneth looking in upon his soul. "WHAT IS THIS!" yelled raven as he panicked.

And as if in an answer he heard the song suddenly change ever so slightly and the voice of a hardened being like the one following him. "This is the hardened soul of the hunted fighting back…" the voice faded away and the song returned to normal.

The next sharp right the 914 dove in and pushed the 260LM faster during the drift. The 914 was attacking the 260LM but it was not to hinder it was to make Raven faster this hardened Kenneth the one that was hunted for years because of the demon that his body harbored. He wanted to beat Raven after he showed him what real speed was and proved he was not the little happy person who everyone saw.

"Only two more turns and I'll win" said Raven nervously. The 914 was sent powerfully passed the 260LM on the outside. Around the turn. "No your not going to loose yet." Said Kenneth with a wicked smile on his face.

As they approached the final turn the 260LM drifted hard and wide while the 914 drifted wide and then dived in and used groove Drift #2 passing the 260LM on the exit and then free clutching and letting the momentum carry him to the win at near 375 kph.

"RAVEN LOST! The 914 beat Raven by almost 3 seconds and smashed the course record by 30 seconds!"

Sagara and the others were shocked. "Kenneth only had 205hp and he beat the ventrui it's imposable!" said Aikawa.

"Behind the wheel of that 914 nothing is impossible."

" He beat my Yamaha R! When I had 550hp."

"And my 1027hp viper."

"We were friends but he was the leader because we can't keep up with him when he drives the 914."

"Hell he used to have to run that 914 as fast as possible for the purpose of survival. And then he meant me and he said that it changed him and it seemed true until he was being chased. Before I meant Kenneth he was hunted because he harbors the demon Zephern Cost inside. He was hardened an animal that knew only 2 things how to run and how to kill." Said Salina as she looked out at the mountain.

"So what your saying is behind the wheel of that 914 isn't the Kenneth we meant it's something that shouldn't have ever been created but it was from necessity?" said Sagara.

"Yes because the demon Zephern Cost is within him he has to watch his back to survive." Said Richard.

Suddenly Aoyama remembered something that had happened back before she arrived at the academy. When she slaughtered a group that had attacked her there was one man who yelled and gave away his position. "That man yelled something about a attack on Zephern Cost!"

"What!" said Salina as she looked at Aoyama.

"A man was yelling something about a postponed attack on a Zephern Cost before I came to the academy." Said Aoyama with her head hung.

"It makes sense the reason they haven't attacked in these 3 years is they were prepping to the attack!" said Salina as she got into the skyline but couldn't get the car to start.

The message went out. And soon the racers of Wangan and Gunma were on their way to stop an attack that would no doubt take place on the wangan.

Wangan highway…

The 914 slid between cars as he felt the presents of his attackers closing. Suddenly a pair of pitch black R34 Skylines and supras appeared baring down on the 914.

Kenneth punched it sending the 914 forward but the Skylines and Supras were too much for the little 914 to outrun.

There was the sound of the Tokyo battalions barring down on Wangan in the air but they wouldn't make it in time.

The Skylines stared forcing the 914 into deadly situations sending him inches away from a semi trailer.

The 914 would squeeze out but if help didn't arrive soon then Kenneth would be killed.

There was a sudden sound of turbo blow off values. Familiar N/A tuned engines and turbos barring down upon the 914 and the black skylines and supras.

A pair of quad headlights appeared in the rear view mirrors of the Skylines. A familiar 454-corvette special edition motor roared as it charged the four cars.

A bright yellow Spirra appeared in front of the Skylines. Along with this came a bright red Civic RS. Mustangs and camaros were barring down on the group which was soon reinforced when 10 more powerful JDM cars slid in between the 914 and the largest group they had ever seen.

Out of the group in back a dark green 1986 Saab 900 turbo aero appeared and jetted towards the supra at the back of the black pack.

"Well you have released the beast." Said Kenneth as he brought the 914 hard against the skyline next to him and force it into an off ramp K rail.

The racers of the Wangan and gunma joined the tones of cars. Black helicopters joined and began firing upon the group of racers.

"Inside a white CRX sat Josh. "family fights together and no one gets the bullet without a fight!"

Kenneth summoned forth his USP from his ghost welder powers and began firing at the attackers.

Evil cliffy I told you this would get big. Very big. Sorry if this confuses anyone. The legend of the 914 is one of the greatest things among the racers in the low country. (In the story) and this is the defender and last barrier should something like the take over happen again.

Till next time…
