Southern Knights

Last Time Salina had a daughter Kizuna. Kenneth and the other knights were looking into different cars. Kenneth came up with a plan to get rid of Raven and Shadow Striker at the same time.

Chapter 18: Returning to Racing Roots

"What we need to do is get Raven and Shadow Striker in a race against us on a mountain and we all use our driving to send them packing. I remember dealing with shadow striker that they wouldn't hurt my family if I beat them in a race. I won and they haven't even gone near my family." said kenneth before leaving.

Kenneth got into the 22B and headed to E-Cubed.

Kenneth sat at the computer looking for a family car when Richard and Brandon came up.

"Yo Kenneth the cars we were planning on getting got snatched up about 3 days ago so we decided we're just going to run the cars we brought from SC." Said Richard as he looked at the screen.

"So what are you looking at?" said Richard annoyingly.

"I'm trying to get a new car for the pass." Said Kenneth as he scrolled through the listings.

"Well I just thought about it I was thinking I should return to running MR cars." Said Kenneth as he shut down the computer and headed to the Camaro and cranked the newer muscle car.

Kenneth pulled out his cell and called up a friend of a friend Kevin.

"Yo Kevin you called me about that white Lancia 037." Said Kenneth as he began down the highway.

"Yea you want it?" asked Kevin

"Yea I think I'll be returning to my MR roots." Said Kenneth as he hung up and pulled off the highway towards the scrap yard.

Kenneth pulled up and saw Kevin standing next to the lancia 037.

"Yo so what you think?" said Kevin.

"Nice what's it running?"

"Well the last owner blew the motor during a weekend rally so it has no motor as of now. But I'm sure you could fix that." Said Kevin with a smile.

"Thanks man what do I owe you. About $1,500." Said Kevin as he watched Kenneth pulled money out and pay on the spot in cash.

"I'll pick it up later today with the tow truck from E-Cubed." Said Kenneth as he drove away.

Kenneth already had a plan on what he was going to put in the pure white Lancia 037. A 390hp N/A 3.7L Stroker V6 engine From a Mitsubishi 3000GT SL. The light weight body of the lancia with the powerful 3.7L stroker from the 3000GT would be a very potent combination.

The next morning Kenneth entered the shop and looked at the Lancia 037 with its new Super Black II paint job and its revised roofline. The wheels remained stock but where accompanied by new Pirelli high performance tires and Brembo brakes. The Koni suspension lowered the ride height while the new Airforce style tail wing helped keep the lancia planted at high speeds. The side air intakes where painted to match the body while the hood was replaced by a carbon fiber replica and painted to match. The interior of the Lancia now resembled a R34 Skyline GT-R.

Kenneth cranked the Motor and pulled the reborn lancia out of the bay and into the morning air. The Whole car felt smooth but the 3.7L Stroker V6 had a slight shake when you revved high. Kenneth smiled as he pulled out and headed up Akina to Meet Richard and Brandon for an early morning downhill run.

The lancia pulled up in front of the 67 Chevelle Malibu SS and the 67 Camaro RS and shut down. Kenneth exited the Small Midship rear wheel drive coupe and smiled. "It fells good to be in an MR again." Said Kenneth as he leaned against the Lancia.

"So who is Salina and the baby?" asked Brandon

"They are both still asleep." Said Kenneth calmly.

"Wow you seem a lot more collected now. Like you were before back in SC when you ran that yellow GT-R." said Richard with a yawn.

"Yea Kenny was fast but he was also jumpy. I heard after he crashed the R34 he used the insurance to get a 70 Cutlass supreme and made it into a low rider." Said Kenneth with a sigh.

"That's such a waist." Said Richard as he Lisined to the pass and heard three high revving engines running the uphill.

"Well it would seem that the Dark Starz are coming." Said Richard calmly.

Soon the S2000, and FD, and the LanEvo of the Dark Starz pulled up next to the Southern Knights. Kiosuke exited his FD and approached Kenneth and the lancia.

"So I see you got rid of that camaro of your but do you think you can beat us for the perminate title of Akina's #1 team." Said Kiosuke with a smile.

"Well I think you just challenged us." Said Richard.

"You think you're up for it?" asked Brandon

"Name a time." Said Kenneth with a smile.

"Saturday at 10:00 for title of Akina's #1 team. The winner can't be replaced by the loser until the winner of this race looses to another opponent." Said Kiosuke still smiling like a fool.

"Good." Said Kenneth with a smile.

Kiosuke and the other Dark Starz left with a confident felling they would win.

"Well I hope they relies that they are going to be racing a far better team. Now you can show what your real talent is Kenneth the MR Master." Said Richard as he Stood and looked at the three cars.

"Yea I kinda fell sorry for them but oh well." Said Kenneth as he got into the Lancia and started the 390hp V6 with a roar. The Chevelle and the Camaro's engines soon joined the roar as the three cars headed down the pass with Kenneth in the lead helping them gain speed as he slid tight and hard pushing the lancia to the limits and beyond.

"With a car like this I'll takedown both Raven and Shadow Striker." Said Kenneth as he up shifted and exited the pass heading for Myogi to talk with Nik about having a little run on akina sometime.

Kenneth exited the highway and headed towards the summit of mount Myogi. When Kenneth pulled up he saw the Blak Nites getting ready for a morning practice run the Black FC sat next to the white R32 and the dark gray Mark II JZX100 turbo. And then a forth car caught Kenneth's eye it was a silver Tom's Chaser. "Well it would seem that Daylan joined the Blak Nites." Said Kenneth with a sigh as he looked at the Blak Nites sticker in the Chaser's rear window.

There is chapter 18 yea I'm finely getting back into writing this stuff. BlakNites240 tell me what you think of the use of your charracters. Same for you kiosukeX. I would like some input on the story so please review. FYI Outlaw02 sorry about the lancia but i realy like that car too.
