Prologue:

Ten years out in the open, just waiting and plotting my murders. The last time I got caught I was put into an asylum for three months. I haven't been caught since. Now don't get me wrong, I love what I do. I kill to my heart's content, but in a way I miss the thrill of near death. The constant explosions, the empty promises, the screams. I missed the Twisted Metal Competition. It seemed to have ended when I killed Calypso and in a way, I almost regretted killing him then. That was until I drove to nearby Harbor City one day…. (It shows the sign of Blackfield Asylum, only for it to pan over to show it destroyed, piles of dead bodies littered throughout the building before it cuts to Needles stabbing a woman in an abandoned warehouse, laying her out on a table before sitting down at his workshop to show him reminiscing over the Twisted Metal competition with pictures of the dead and his mask hung on the wall. It then cuts to the Ice Cream truck driving down a desert road in the day only for it abruptly to go to nighttime as he gets out and looks in the sky)

I saw him again, his huge eyesore in the skies with huge lights spelling out his name: Calypso. He was back, getting his competition ready, I just knew it. I got excited because I was ready to join back into Twisted Metal. There was one problem though, I didn't get an invite to join. Now granted it could've been me nearly killing him but that was years ago. But at the same time I don't think Calypso would've held that against me, after all these years I knew he was an immortal of sorts. A malevolent figure hellbent on being a destructive force, I guess Midtown got too boring for him after the previous competition. (It shows Calypso's Blimp flying over the city, before cutting down to his hands to show them clenching and getting back in his van. It then shows him driving towards the city again with flashes of him killing Calypso during his ending of Twisted Metal: Black appearing over and over)

In a way though I was still hurt, they bothered to invite my worst enemies but not even their prize? I wanted to kill Calypso there and then. No one hosts a competition without inviting me, I'm the fact of the tournament. No one can kill the face of the tournament, I made sure to set myself apart from the crowd, I've always done that. I'm the best there is, the best at killing, the best at winning, the best at fighting, the best at everything. If there was a mascot to this competition it would be me. (It shows flashes of Axel, Warthog and Yellow Jacket before it flashes to wanted posters with his face on it and crime scene photos of a murdered child. It then shows Needles blowing up Roadkill and punching a police officer in the face as a newspaper clip flashes "Clown Killer murders entire police department" before it cuts to show Needles face once again)

In a way yes, my pride and ego were somewhat hurt by this turn of events, but fuck it. If I can't get an invite to the competition? I'll just kill my way into it and win it by force. I know the reasons why you didn't invite me. I have my ways of knowing, but why play my card to you now when I know you're reading, watching my every thought. Hell you already know don't you? Well then know this, when I win? Maybe this time I'll do me a favor, I'll cut off your whole head instead of just a flesh wound. Now Ladies and Gentlemen...that's a plan I can get behind… (It shows Needles driving into Harbor City, shooting his way through numerous innocent civilians, as it pans behind the vehicle in slow motion, the faces of those trying to run away being gunned down by the machine guns attached to his van before it shows a flash of Calypso being decapitated over Needles face, finally cutting to black as it drives off into the burning city)

Arenas:

Suburban Terror- "Just wait Calypso, I've come back to finish up what we started,"

Junkyard- "The son of a bitch who cursed me has a curse upon himself….how ironic"

Ghetto- "Thanks for the mask Kreel, you really know how to make them special"

Harbor Shopping Plaza- I'd cut these people down faster than prices on Black Friday, but with four times the body count"

Harbor City- "No such thing as normal, in this world everyone has a dirty past waiting to be aired out. I'm not the only sick fuck here"

Rooftops- "Ahhh the fear that I once brought to the world comes back to me, and it feels better every time"

Stadium Slaughter- "This joker knows how this battle between the both of us will end. This is the true ending to the story, though I suppose for others it can be open ended as well…"

Middle:

(Shows the final destruction of Minion, with Christopher Whittlebone looking at the wreckage in the stadium, crows fly over the fire) The only one who could ever crack that code of his is me, everyone else wouldn't give the time of day, and that's how I get ahead. (It shows Needles Kane and Minion getting out of their respective vehicles, with Minion getting on his knees as blood covers him from head to toe. It then shows Needles pulling out his machete, bringing it up high before swiftly bringing it down, as it cuts to a shadow showing Minion's body being sliced in half vertically before crow sounds populate the arena)

I know the truth, I already know these things. But it doesn't make a difference, none of it does. Why would it matter? I guess in the end I'm just curious to know what's ahead of me in life. Do I really want to just stay here and think and make guesses? Or do I want to go out and see what life has to offer me. I guess Calypso and his lapdog here didn't want me to see the truth. But in reality only I know myself and I know what the truth is. (It shows flashes of Needles killing numerous people before smiling at the shadow of the corpse he had just slain in two)

Now I'm even more excited to win this contest, to greet Calypso in his throne room, two egos colliding and crashing with each other as rivals. Or maybe it won't be like that. I don't know. Either way I have a lot to discuss with him on the way there. I guess what they said however is true, maybe it's not the destination but it's the journey itself, all of these bodies piling up. My calling cards speak volumes itself, everyone wants me dead, and the feeling is mutual. Either way for me this is going to be a fun ride… (It shows Needles walking to his ice cream truck, thinking of Calypso and looking beyond the gates out of the arena to show a city on fire, with explosions erupting repeatedly, the screams of people echoing the skies before Needles drives off, but not before it shows a pile of bodies that Needles has left in the arena, with flies swarming to Minion's corpse as it fades to black)

Arenas II:

Railyard- "Now that the roadblock is out of the way, I have my sights set for the beyond. All of the potential….I can't wait!"

Death Port and Docks- "Yeah one can die by falling into the water, but they'll keep coming back. They'll always keep coming back, it's like a personal hell. I happen to enjoy the devil's company however.."

Carnival of Darkness- "My home away from my home, though I'll admit this place doesn't have the same room service as the asylum did…"

SCenter- "Money, is that all that matters to people? What about the thrill? Have they ever had someone's head in their hands, the power to thrust a knife into their head and see what ticks? They're missing out"

Sewer- "Smells like death, what a nice place to dump a good body or two. Feed 'em to the rats, though I was always one for the public"

Prison Yard- "I'm surprised Calypso didn't start new and break some prisoners out of here, although I guess the people we have is what made the contest popular to the audience"

Harbor Military Base- "I don't need missiles, I'm my own weapon of mass destruction, although a few launches here and there wouldn't hurt…"

Harbor City Airport- "I regret nothing...all of the pain I cause? This is my world, who cares about the rest?"

Ending:

"Ah my old friend Calypso...we have so much to talk about since the last time. Although I know you won't welcome my presence." (The menacing sounds of a sinister ice cream truck crash and slowly drive to the area where Calypso and his bodyguards were residing. The guards raise their assault rifles and point it at the truck when it arrives. A couple seconds goes by and there is nothing, Needles then picks up one by the eyes in a surprise attack and squeezes them until blood pops out. The other guard starts firing but Needles seems impervious to the attack. He picks up his machete and brutally dissects the other guards one by one. He then stares at Calypso, who by this point is looking out onto the destruction on the city)

"You had a better chance when you were on your own Calypso, all of these dead bodies to me is just warm up practice for the main event which has frankly already passed. You not inviting me to kill on purpose hurts you know? And I could kill you again, hell I even have an urge to. But I suppose I'd be lying if I said curiosity hasn't gotten the better of me" (It shows Needles throwing his machete on the ground as he walks over slowly to watch the destruction of the city with him, before turning left to look Calypso in the face)

"What is it you want?" Calypso asked

"You know what I want. I cracked the ciphers, I saw the signs, I know this….(Looks at his hands and everything around him) isn't real. As much as I like it here, I want to leave Calypso…I want to see what my future has ahead of me. I know this is all in my head, the darkness, the killings, the murder. Save the tricks though old friend, it's useless against me as I already know what you can do" said Needles (It shows Needles walking over to the hood of his truck and sitting on it, staring into Calypso's eyes)

"I'll give you what you want, but first answer me this. How did you know?" Calypso asked.

"The code was a simple, if not boring code. You should've gone with a more elaborate one. Minion himself revealed this was all in my head, as he was an alternate personality waiting to get out. Everything makes sense if you think about it. The ways you maneuver yourself to create these contestants is especially obvious, whether it was "Dr. Olypsac" during surgery or manipulating the little shit into being your heir. The driver of the taxi cab could try to put an end to the bloodline however much they want..but what they didn't realize is I can't die. Even if I could I wouldn't let them. The little kid and dear old dad learned their lesson, as well as everyone else" (It shows flashes of Minion's code from Twisted Metal: Black deciphered before it shows flashes of Calypso and Sebastian Kane's mom kissing, Calypso performing surgery on Banshee and putting Sam Boomer's head into 12-Pak before it cuts to Sebastian Kane and his father dying in their car as Needles drives away smiling)

"Don't forget you manipulating tragedies to make for more contestants." (It shows Calypso appearing as a cult member in Outlaw's ending and a squad member in Pit Viper's ending, before it cuts to him running into the middle of 12-Pak's race)

"Or The way you build your worlds." (It shows Calypso shaking hands with both Mr. Kreel and Simon Whittlebone, how Blackfield Asylum looks different in both the cutscenes and the arena, before it shows the face the Preacher saw in the clouds to be an outline of Needles himself.)

To the way everyone comes back for seconds even though they were full when done with dinner. There's so many telltale signs it's just hard to explain them all, you'd have to find them all for yourself. (It shows Calypso resurrecting each of the competitors with his magic on a slab in a morgue, rising them up yet again before cutting back to Needle's face)

"The only question I have is why the driver in the huge tanker truck was sent to kill you and who that Calypso is." Needles says, finishing his reveal. (It pans over to Calypso)

"I don't know, whether it was to keep you trapped or give you an early release is up to him. All I know is it took me a long time to recover from the damage you did to me, that the last Twisted Metal did. I tried to keep you in this prison as designed but that didn't work. Oh hell, what do I care? I've been wanting to pack it in for a while anyways. You want your wish to leave this world? You got it. Just be prepared for what it is, because it might not be what you expect." Calypso said (It shows Calypso sigh as he rubs his hand over his throat, before staring at Needles and putting his hand on his head, chanting some words before everything fades to black, with Sweet Tooth's head being the last to go as the fire on his head is blown out)

"I look forward to it" (It shows Black before it abruptly cuts to an animated looking purple sky, slowly looking down to show another chaotic city with fire and screams everywhere)

(It shows an animated ice cream van going down a road that's heavily destroyed with a banner that says "Welcome to the Twisted Metal: World Tour Competition!" before it switches to the driver to show a cartoon Sweet Tooth, more specifically his second incarnation)

"Must be, must be, must be free. Little Garden, paradise I...Ice Cream, they don't know!" he giggled loudly. "I told them I would escape the institute! I already lost one competition but Sweet Tooth will ALWAYS come out on top somehow! HAHAHAHA! (It shows him laughing as the fire rages on his head, drooling at the mouth with the white ruffles around his neck floating up and down)

(It then shows him driving up ramps and onto a rooftop; where a man with a burnt face and long, red hair stands looking out on the chaos, waiting and smiling devilishly as he drives up)

This'll be great! I can't wa...wait...something doesn't feel goooooood….(It flashes to Sweet Tooth giggling happy before it flashes between his cartoonish Head-On appearance and his normal appearance now)

"Oh I feel so good right now" Sweet Tooth said, in that much darker and deeper tone he took to before.

(It then shows the burnt man looking to Sweet Tooth and smiling before the truck suddenly screeches to a halt, nearly hitting him)

"HELLO DRIVER!" the Burnt Man said abruptly. "I AM CALYPSO, WHAT IS YOUR WISH?!" (It shows Calypso throwing his hands in the air, happy to serve out an evil demise delivered to someone in form of a present)

(It then shows Needles smiling devilishly before looking in the mirror to see himself from Black before it finally fades to black)
