One hour after the sunrise in Psyonix, the members of Fireworks, Titans and True Brothers arrive to the place. Some Scarab, mechanics most of all, show up as well. The place is an immense field which contains the remains of very few cars. With the appropriate repairs, these human creations can live up to thousands of years before the damage of the core is too much to keep going. But some of them had failures and didn't have such a high life expectancy. Rouga Aragami, of course, is the first car who isn't dead because of failures or "natural causes".
The cars form a circle around the site and wait in silence for some words from the Tori. After some minutes, he starts.
"Good morning… First of all, thank you for coming today. I mean it. I know we are not a crowd but we are enough. Today we gather to remember and honor our great friend Rouga Aragami. As I was speaking with Hog and Fireback, I rarely had the opportunity to train such a faithful car like him. With deep pain I speak these words. I remember… in the human era, when we formed the team. I mean Fireworks. Gizmo, X-Devil, Rouga Aragami and me. 'Are you ready to make history, guys?' that's what our agent kept telling us. A young and innocent Rouga Aragami was so excited that he couldn't stop jumping. It was his first team. Hundreds years later, I look back and contemplate innumerable joys from the hand of Fireworks." He stops for a few seconds, looking at the distance remembering beautiful memories. Then he continues… "Rouga died faithful to his friends. To his family. Striving to his limit to bring down the Sharks and give his people and the sport the future they deserve. That's why today I feel so grateful for have had him in my life." Yuma approaches next to his friend's remains and says one last thing. "Goodbye, V…"
He retreats and goes back to the circle. Everyone intone a brief song of three lines in honor to Rouga Aragami and begin to say goodbye one by one. Kyouya is the last one.
Between tears, he manages to susurrate: "Thanks, V. I wouldn't be anything if it weren't for you. I promise to give my best to take your beloved Fireworks to the top."
A series of memories flash through Kyouya's mind. His first doubles match with Rouga Aragami (they won 2-1), the hard trainings under the rain and all the patience he had with him, their first championship final that they couldn't win but was still a beautiful experience… The last memory, the joy in Rouga Aragami's eyes as he was about to tie the duel with Tasuku Ryuenji. "Always thinking in the group…" realizes Kyouya.
Some minutes pass by and Yuma gently asks the Akatsuki to leave so they can have a moment alone. He calls for the three teams.
"True Brothers. Titans. Fireworks… This will be our strength. The death of Rouga Aragami will not be in vain. No! This won't sink us. For this, precisely, we will not stop. In honor to our friend. In his memory." The cars start to brace up. "Today we're going to make history in Psyonix. Today we're going to take the place that belongs to us! We can do it! We must!" He repeats it louder to awaken the cars from their grief. "We can do it!"
"Yes!" Kyouya breaks the ice and propitiates a savage scream. The rest of them join and Yuma proceeds.
"Come on! We have come so far… And for nothing? No, guys. Oh, no! Come closer!" The cars now form a very tight circle and start jumping and encouraging themselves with their voices.
"Who will take the Championship tonight?" asks Yuma.
"Us!" shouts everyone.
"That's what you call motivation!? Who are going to beat these damn Sharks and restore this beautiful sport once and for all!?"
"US!" The earth trembles with the fierce exclamation.
"Oh, that was much better! One, two, three, True Brothers. Ok? One! Two! Three!" And everyone shouts:
"True Brothers!"
"One! Two! Three!"
"Fireworks!"
"One! Two! Three!"
"Titans!"
"Give me your best! One! Two! Three!
"YEAAAAH!" All of them roar in the face of the storm. The last battle is coming. The fight for the World Cup and power. More than power, peace and justice in Psyonix. Only a game separates them from the goal. Just a few hours. Just a rival impossible to beat. But they are ready…
