Prologue:

I was lucky you know, I was lucky to be blessed by such a wonderful family, blessed to have such a great life. You never know how fast it can change in the blink of an eye, whether it's life or death. I saw both of them together in one day. (It shows Ronnie Parker with his mother and father, outside during a barbeque on a sunny day, eating ribs cooked from the grill and sitting together at a picnic table talking together and having a good time. It then cuts to a dark sky slowly taking over the sunny one, with everyone preparing to get up when it cuts to a headlight in the distance before it cuts back to the family with sounds of explosions and murder. It pans over to show the house next door blow up with the outline of a van and two cars in the distance before it abruptly cuts to black)

We lived back in Midtown all those years ago, living in the suburbs and taking care of our own, trying to live life to the best of our ability. That all changed when the Twisted Metal Competition debuted in our neighborhood. By god! My whole family just died, our house was burnt to the ground, everything changed in an instant. (It cuts to an instant still frame on the family and the nearby destruction before it pans out to show every car in Twisted Metal: Black shooting at each other and blowing each other up, with Junkyard Dog taking down the ferris wheel before it goes back to motion where it shows the Ferris Wheel running through the neighborhood and barely past Ronnie's house)

I saw family members getting ran over, torn in half, riddled with bullets, it was a fucking nightmare! I was the only survivor of the family, and in that instant I wish I would have died. (It shows one large panning shot of Ronnie hiding in the basement and peeking out only to see Sweet Tooth run over the children with Shadow and Yellow Jacket firing missiles and guns, one of which rips apart Ronnie's father before he gets ran over and his body ends up falling near the basement steps, after which Ronnie falls down the stairs and is knocked out)

After that it was the usual nightmare, stuck in foster home after foster home because no one wanted to have me. The only place I was able to find home at was the rundown neighborhood in the nearby Harbor City, in the poorer districts. Every day I had to deal with corrupt cops, rivals and the ongoing threat that the Twisted Metal competition might be back at any minute. (It shows multiple flashes from Ronnie sitting next to an ambulance, going up to his face to him looking in the mirror pumping a shotgun, before it cuts to him shooting down a group of gangsters in orange, blowing one's face apart before it shows the barrel poking out through the dead gangster's face before it finally falls down to show that Ronnie grew a beard before he looks to the left and sees Calypso's blimp arriving into the city.)

That's why I vowed, I vowed that the day they came back I would be ready, I would take over Harbor City's underworld and I would be ready to topple Calypso in my own war. Because no one fucks over Ronnie Parker or his neighborhood. (It shows Ronnie getting into his vehicle, a black Impala and dressed in a white tank top and baggy jeans with the beard trimmed before he hits the pedal and heads towards the Blimp, ready to kill everyone who stands in his way.)

Arenas:

Suburban Terror- "They killed everything in my life back in Midtown, now it the time to pay them all back"

Junkyard- "I made this car with my own blood sweat and tears, built it, furnished it, gave it life."

Ghetto- "My home, of course they'd use my neighborhood as a fucking battleground. Lord knows we already have enough of that here"

Harbor Shopping Plaza- "My niggas know well enough that I run this city, everyone should be paying me. I own this mall, and Calypso seeks to destroy everything I own. It wouldn't be the first time."

Harbor City- "I still have nightmares. My mom, my cousins, nieces and nephews. All dead. I miss them so much, why did it have to be me?"

Rooftops- "There's the eyesore, the giant blimp. It'll fall soon enough, though I wouldn't mind having my own blimp. Maybe that's what I'll wish for"

Stadium Slaughter-"Why does everyone in this competition have to look like a fucking freak?"

Middle:

(Shows the final destruction of Minion, with Ronnie Parker looking at the wreckage in the stadium, crows fly over the fire) Gotta send a message, let them know what I'm all about. (It then shows Ronnie activating his flamethrower, before it cuts to Minion crawling out of his tank. It then shows the tip of the flamethrower on the Lowrider, before it follows the flames and burns Minion to death, showing the skin melting off before a final thud comes from his corpse.)

The minute I killed that man I knew that there was no turning back from this. I have integrated myself so deep into this competition that I knew it was either win it or lose my reputation back in the streets. That's all it's been about in my life since this fucking contest killed everyone I love. Reputation. It's all anything's about anymore. I had to cement it the old fashion way: murder. (It shows Ronnie getting out the car and looking at the charred corpse that was now Minion. It shows him staring into the fire raging on Minion's corpse to show flashes of his own family's death along with the murders he has committed in the ghetto, with flashes of cops, other gangsters and even a flash of a ricochet bullet hitting an innocent bystander in the chest with Ronnie running through alley ways)

I have killed, murdered, maimed, and broken so many people; I have done so many things that I'm not sure if I'm even the person I was anymore. I'm so desensitized to it. I don't fear anything. By the time I killed the heads of all the gang members, I became the top dog. I had any and everything that I could ever want. (It then flashes forward to show Ronnie sitting in a golden throne in his house with his underlings dressed in all black and drinking booze while partying with the camera panning into Ronnie's face, showing him going from stoic to somewhat sad)

But is this truly me? Is it truly something I wanted to do? I don't really know anymore. I don't know anything. I don't know. That's what fucking sucks, I wish I did know. What would my family think about how I became? It was only a while ago that my parents showed up at my science fair in Middle School and now I'm a killer. I felt like I just became another statistic, a killer who needs to either kill to survive or be killed for another's survival. Are we all just hypocrites? We enter to get revenge on someone or stop a tragedy and yet...we kill so many people and start up other tragedies. What a cycle, that's another thing I don't know. Why we feed into the cycle. (It first cuts to him putting his shotgun underneath his pillow before he dreams about his family dying, then the charred corpses surrounding him in a black chamber, with the lights barely showing the charred remains before he wakes up in a cold sweat and starts tearing up. It then shows flashes of him looking at the nearby Outlaw, seeing him open fire on Manslaughter before he wakes up and stares at the mirror again as it shatters before the camera zooms in on the black wall where the mirror once was)

The only thing I do know anymore is that the ghetto is my home now, they're my family. They are everything I have, even if I'm wary of their motives. They are my responsibility, I must not let Calypso destroy my home like he did once before. Never again motherfucker, never again. (It cuts back to show Ronnie getting back into his car and driving off into the distance, with the fire raging both inside of him and in Harbor City raging on)

Arenas II:

Railyard- "Those nightmares, the corpses. They keep coming back, why the fuck do they keep coming back?"

Death Port and Docks- "Three cops? Too many if you ask me"

Carnival of Darkness- "The driver who ran over my Niece lives here now. I'll show him what it's like to lose what you have"

SCenter- "They stick their nose down at us, use us to fill their pockets. I have something else in mind"

Sewer- "Smells like the prison locker room...not something I was interested in smelling again"

Prison Yard- "Fuck the police and everyone that loves them, they've spent years keeping us down. Nobody will be keeping us down anymore."

Harbor Military Base- "NO ONE will stop ME, I've made it this far and I won't die to the government of all things"

Harbor City Airport- "I hope my neighborhood knows the extent I'll protect them; I am their protector, no one else's."

Ending:

I went through the gauntlet and I've killed so many people that I populated the morgue twice over. I won, I finally won; I understood in that moment is the feeling of winning and the feeling of being about to make your dreams come true finally stood in front of me. (It shows Ronnie walking up to Agent Stone as he stumbles out of his vehicle, pleading for Ronnie to spare him before it cuts to an abrupt shotgun shell to the face, with Ronnie finally smirking a bit as he looks up to the blimp that flies above the city.)

I drove my car through the streets of the now destroyed Harbor City in order to finally meet up with Calypso. Being in front of the man who organized the competition that destroyed my family, destroyed my home, and ruined everything I ever came in contact with only continued to boil the rage that was inside of me. (It shows Ronnie in his lowrider, driving slowly as he stares into the distance; ignoring all of the dead bodies and destroyed buildings, with one of them falling down and collapsing behind him before it shows him driving up and entering the blimp, getting out extremely fast with his shotgun in hand as he stares down at Calypso, who stares back and smiles before it cuts back to Ronnie, whose face gets progressively more and more angry.)

I could wish for anything at this point but I know he would just flip it around. If I wished for my family back he would give me their corpses; if I wished for the Twisted Metal Competition to end he would just create another competition in its place. So I decided to do the only thing that made sense to me, I just killed them. (It shows flashes of coffins being delivered to Ronnie's door followed by a blimp flying by with the lettering "WELCOME TO THE HIGH OCTANE COMPETITION", before it just cuts back to Ronnie who pulls up his shotgun and pulls the trigger before it cuts to black and a shotgun shell is heard falling to the ground)

I killed them all and took my seat on his throne. I may have killed them and stopped the Twisted Metal competition but I didn't feel any different, I didn't feel like I protected anyone, like I got true revenge. I looked out the window and didn't even know where my old neighborhood was from here. That's when I realized that I should consolidate my power and just make the ruins a city of my own design. But I realized it was too late. (It shows numerous shotgun sounds as dead bodies litter the place, with Calypso being shot in the chest and slumped over. It shows Ronnie dropping the shotgun to the ground and looking at Calypso before dropping the sunglasses he had and taking the ring from Calypso's finger, putting it on while looking over the city.)

When I consolidated my power, took Calypso's ring and sat upon his throne; not only did I lose everything that made me human, but I realized the truth of everything and why he was what he was. I was in constant pain from everything, internally and externally. I became privy to truths that drove me insane, and started to feel pain in various areas of my body. I became, in effect, another Calypso to fill the void. I turned into the monster I fucking despised. I became forced to take over the competition, there always has to be a Calypso, without a Calypso there is nothing. (It shows Ronnie sitting on the throne and transforming as all of the hair he had began to fall off, with his left eye sinking into itself and turning black with blood forming out of the cracks near it. It shows flashes of some of the revealed truths from Needle's ending as Ronnie's head starts to bleed out of the top before it all finally stops as he falls down. It pans over to Ronnie's body to show him looking up, only to look like Calypso once had.)
