Prologue:
When I woke up the only thing I could think about was how this reminded me of some old horror movie I probably watched back when I was truly alive. Truly I mean, I am alive now but I...I don't know what the hell I am now. I feel like I'm in some sort of nightmare. I woke up in this lab surrounded by dead bodies in suits and sick, twisted experiments that were put on people. The dead bodies were skinned alive with eyes that were blood red, the whole place was on fire, there were destroyed tanks and a giant hole that led outside only to have a snow storm block the view to the outside world. (It shows total darkness before Crystal waking up from a slab in the morgue with dead bodies strung everywhere with heads exploded and bodies with their skin ripped off with blood red eyes before it cuts to Crystal moving desks and pillars with fire blazing around. It then pans to an open wall surrounded by darkness and snow violently forcing itself into the building with destroyed tanks surrounding the area nearby.)
I exited the area and kept running, and running and running trying to get out. I found a gate with some sort of strange dune buggy and drove out of there. Flashes kept going through my head of a bald man with some sort of black mark around his eye. I couldn't really understand at first who this was, why it kept showing up or even how. That was until I managed to drive to this huge city, a place marked on a nearby sign as Harbor City. That's when I realized what was happening. (It shows quick camera cuts to her running through the snow, with the forest slowly falling behind her and a gate showing up in front of her quickly. It then cuts to a car nearby with flashes of Calypso as she hotwires the car and holds her head as she drives out of the gate, almost crashing on the way out. It then pans over the car to show a bright city closing in on the car with a huge sign nearby that says "Welcome to Harbor City".)
This man that flashed in my mind...he was my father. I had memories of being with him but nothing after that, I just remember a strange memory of my father attempting to raise some other boy, i was nowhere in the picture. Nothing made any damn sense whatsoever, I couldn't make anything of this. Everything became even more clearer however when I saw something in the distance above the city. (It shows random flashes of Calypso admiring a picture of Sebastian Kane while Crystal stares into the tv as it then abruptly cuts again to the present where she holds her head in pain before finally looking back up into the sky)
I saw...I saw the Blimp. Something must've kicked in once I saw that because new memories started popping in about some contest that had cars and destruction...I saw my father as the main figurehead of this competition, and suddenly I had this overwhelming urge to go and join in. This was the only way I could know anything about my past, what happened with my father… (It shows a pan from the city to a giant blimp that appears from the dark clouds with streaks of thunder and lightning striking around it with each strike leading to a flash from the total destruction caused by the competition, with prominent flashes featuring Outlaw and Pit Viper shooting at each other with burning buildings surrounding them before it finally flashes to Calypso's face as he smiles devilishly, with a zoom in to Calypso's eye to show Grasshopper driving off into the city)
Arenas:
Suburban Terror- "It's like he forgot all about me, how could he?"
Junkyard- "Please dad, not like this. Why do you do this?"
Ghetto- "You try to replace me with this little brat in the taxi?! I thought family was important!"
Harbor Shopping Plaza- "So many memories here, all distorted but...memories nonetheless"
Harbor City- "I don't know what happened to make you like this...but whatever it is I want to help"
Rooftops- "Sometimes I wonder if all this is even real...if I drove off of this roof right now would I wake up in the real world? Is this some nightmare? Why do I continue on and not wake up if it is a nightmare?"
Stadium Slaughter- "We're both lost, I can feel this man's pain. I'm so sorry, friend."
Middle:
(Shows the final destruction of Minion, with Crystal looking at the wreckage in the stadium, crows fly over the fire) I am sorry, but I have to finish what I started. (It shows Crystal getting out Grasshopper, going up to Minion and grabbing his hand as he crawls out before she closes her eyes and shoots him, cutting quickly to black, before getting back into her car. It finally cuts back to Crystal hitting the car pedal and driving away into the distance)
This competition, it has killed so many people, it has destroyed so many lives. I just murdered a tortured soul, ruined by this competition and the people in it. It destroyed everyone's life, including me and my father's. I didn't remember all of the details of how he came to be this way, in all honesty it feels like it always was this way. Yet I remember the happy memories, the happy times where me and my dad were a part of a family. Or at least I remember as much as I could. (It shows Crystal driving past burning buildings and dying people being burned alive as she sheds a tear, which the camera pans in on to show a reflection of the blimp before a lightning strike hits and reveals Calypso's face before everything starts going fuzzy before it starts fading in and out on a still image of Crystal hugging Calypso's leg.)
The only memories that really stick were me waking up but after I put Minion out of his misery something else started to pop up more and more. It came like a surge, like I was being drowned slowly and violently with new information. Things started to flash in my head, like doctors operating on my head and chest and a large beeping sound. I remembered the doctors talking about making me into the ultimate weapon against Calypso. They were looking to turn me against my own father, it was fucking disgusting. (It shows Crystal waking up and other flashes of her from the prologue before it cuts to the gunshot that goes into Minion's head, which then flashes to her being experimented on by doctors as blood drips from her head and her chest is opened up. It then shows another shot of a beeping noise with a bright red light before a low voice says "The ultimate weapon against Calypso...his own daughter.)
I woke up from the ground, next to my car and the destroyed remains of both Minion and his car; it was almost like I didn't move at all, like I hallucinated or something. Every emotion rushed me, from anger to sadness, to hopelessness to nothing. I got in my car, all the more confused but ready to confront the future. Did they dig me up just to kill my own father? Why did they have to drudge me up, why did they have to make me suffer just to further their own goals? Is there something more to this I'm not understanding? The only way I can figure any of it out is to either win or die trying and find nothing. (It shows Crystal waking up next to her car with her gun in her hand, Minion's corpse strung nearby as she looks up at the sky for a couple of seconds only to show a superimposed image of fire raging in the sky. It then shows her getting into her car and driving into the distance as it pans from her face to the back of the car before it finally shows her driving off into the city)
Arenas II:
Railyard- "I was raised up just to be some fucking weapon for some assholes who wanted to kill my dad. No wonder he has so many enemies with the way the world looks…"
Death Port and Docks- "The further in I go into the competition the more I have chest pains...I am not letting anything stop me from winning."
Carnival of Darkness- "This man...there's something about him that I can't put a finger on, other than the fact he's a demented serial killer I mean"
SCenter- "Similar flashes like back at the shopping mall…I apparently used to come here a lot with my father...I wonder how much of these flashes are fake and how much are real at times"
Sewer- "The fact that someone spent a fortune to build a sewer system like this is frankly amazing...I mean Jesus it's so big and expansive"
Prison Yard- "Their eyes….there is something about their eyes just looking at me...it's so fucking creepy"
Harbor Military Base- "Great...more weapons of mass destruction. If these are launched and the world is destroyed, I might not even be able to confront my father"
Harbor City Airport- "I'm coming for you dad, you'll be proud of me! Look at all of these people I killed! I'm playing this sick game of yours"
Ending:
I drove through the city, horrified at the destruction my father and his competition brought. Everything was a shell of its former self, his blimp lighting up the red sky with neon lights proclaiming the existence of this competition. As I drove up to his blimp, everything started racing through my mind, the more the questions the higher the speed to which I drove up. I eventually drove up so fast that I ramped off of a destroyed billboard and shot through the ramp, crashing straight into his throne room. (It shows Crystal driving through the now destroyed and nearly lifeless ruins of Harbor City populated only by huge pockets of fire, Calypso's blimp flashing above the fiery ruins with neon lights. It then shows Crystal driving up a destroyed billboard and shooting through the ramp leading into Calypso's blimp, with Crystal's car drifting as Calypso's shadow lay behind the smoke, staring into space)
I approached my father, he still looked the same way as he did all those years ago when I was young. I couldn't hold back the tears, or the questions. I couldn't hold back on anything, I wasn't even sure if he remembered me. I asked him, "What happened to me?", "Why are you the way you are?", "Why did you try to replace me with some little boy?', amongst other things. He did remember me alright, and he answered every question I had, but what he ended up saying wasn't what I thought my father would be. (It shows Crystal getting out of the vehicle and shouting at Calypso repeatedly as he just stares blankly and uncaring at her.)
He told me about how he had tried to find an heir to the Twisted Metal throne, how I was unworthy because I was an annoying little girl when he needed a male to further the legacy. He told me that he wasn't my father, that he hadn't planned for me at all that I was a pawn like I always was, that he doesn't even know who I truly am anyways as I was just put on his doorstep. (It flashes to the picture of Sebastian Kane before it pans out to Calypso's face with Crystal in front of the TV, which he then looks over at Crystal with a disappointed look on his face. It then cuts back to the present with Calypso looking blankly into Crystal's face as her face turns bright red and tears start floating from her face down before it flashes to her waking up in the lab again, but this time everything is bright with mysterious men looking over her, with a specific look at the man on the right, a man with his face burnt and long hair)
I was so heartbroken by everything, I told him what I wanted. I told him I wanted to go back to when we were a family, I wanted my old dad back, the nice dad. No more pain, no more suffering. He just stared at me with a blank face, uncaring about everything I was feeling. He told me my wish was granted and started laughing maniacally as if something was funny. I told him that I wanted my goddamn wish but he said he already granted it. He continued laughing which is then I realized what had happened: he had either refused to grant me the wish and lied or he did...but there was no old him, there was only him. In this world there was only this Calypso. My whole life has been a confusing lie that I can't even understand the making of... (It shows her tearing up as she screams at Calypso before hitting the ground and sobbing on her knees with her fist clenched up as Calypso continues to stare blankly, before ultimately laughing at her and tearing up himself. She continues to look upon him, staring at him with remorse and ultimately defeat)
He just laughed and laughed and told me to get out of his site, that I should just kill myself because I was a nobody, not the heir he truly wanted. All this time, all of these years...I don't understand how I could've had good thoughts of this man in my head only for him to be so...cruel. Fuck it, if he wants me to go away then I will...anything is better than being stuck with a piece of shit like him. I yelled at him to look back as I yelled at him through all my tears that he is not my father as I used the knife I picked up from Minion to cut open my chest to show him my heart. This is the heart that he destroyed, the child he threw away. And he would live to regret it. (It shows Calypso laughing repeatedly as Crystal looked on and a tear falls from her eyes down her cheeks and onto the floor before it shows flashes of the happy memories she thought they had. It super imposes Calypso's face on the flashback face before it cuts to the present of him smiling and laughing before it pans over to Crystal cutting open her whole torso before it falls to the floor to pan in on her heart with machines pumping blood into her heart while there's a machine covering the exterior before it pans in one more time to show a loud, blinking light. It then pans to her cutting her own throat before she falls on the floor with Calypso looking in shock before it pans one more time to the machine in her chest before a distinct ping goes off, with one final shot of the whole city being engulfed in one giant explosion as Calypso screams in the background as it finally cuts to black)
Note: Sorry for disappearing for a while, started a full time job so I'll be sporadic. Also to Akarenger, I just put down the M rating for whatever is considered mature, I can't really put this story down as K-T cause it's definitely darker though I get what you're saying. Also I was sort of working on this on and off so if it's not the best let me know what I could do to edit and fix it up and I'll do it as soon as possible.
