Prologue:

The needle cajoled me with stories of my past, stories that I wish I could've remembered as I stared at it with intent. I could tell by how the liquid looked on the inside that it could help me...it could help me remember a lot. I've had this give-take relationship with needles for a long time here but that wasn't my concern at this very moment. (It shows a blurry image getting brighter and brighter to reveal Madeline Kramer's hands moving as she sees almost nothing except a very crystal clear outline of a needle with clear liquid on the inside, before she looks around more to see the environment getting less and less hazy, only to reveal that everything is basically destroyed before the alarm goes off in a sort of sting like noise)

My memory was kind of hazy at that moment, but I only remembered a little bit about what was going on: a destroyed lab, people's heads blown off, a giant gust of cold wind seeping into my skin. I didn't know how I had actually gotten there, I just remember waking up to find this mess had gone about as if something or someone escaped. (It then shows Madeline walking out of her hospital room and through the main base; only to find more destroyed labs, dead bodies and blood everywhere, with a giant hole near a wall that has snow and cold air coming in and surrounding her)

Not understanding what was going on and now having gone a couple of minutes without the thing that helps me function I injected this needle into my veins. My heart started pounding with my lungs alongside with it as I started to remember bits and pieces of what had happened. The first thing that hit was that what I just injected inside of me was meth, which I had gotten used to as a kid. Other things started to come quick too, bits and pieces of my past which I WISH I had forgotten: that piece of shit Sam Boomer, my family whose only ever forgotten about me and me trying to prove to them that I can be the best. (It shows her running back into that room and smashing the needle into her vein, before the entire world becomes clear and crisp right in front of her with gory details all around. It then shows flashes of Sam Boomer/12 Pak and pictures of her as a young kid with her family violently before she throws up in response)

Fuck them, I already proved to the entire world that I was better than all of them; maybe that's why I woke up in this lab. I guess they wanted to try to do some things to my car too cause when I got into my old ride they had at the lab too it felt...different, like it could go past even my old records, hell even into the past like some sort of sci-fi comedy movie. I looked over to the right side of the window where I found a pamphlet of sorts, one advertising that competition I heard so much about, that terrified almost everyone I knew: Twisted Metal. In exchange for winning this competition I could get one wish that I desired most. The first thing that popped into my mind was killing Sam Boomer but no...there are better rewards in life than those wasted on revenge. I had some ideas but I'd rather wait and see what happened as I got there, as I was determined to win by any means. I already won once, I can prove again that I'm still the reigning champ. (It then shows her looking over nearby the hole to find her old Formula 1, after which she climbs in and turns the keys only for it to violently rev up with the sounds of faint screams in the background. She then turns it off as the snow blows onto the Formula slightly and she stares out to experience flashes of old races before she turns to her right to find a Twisted Metal pamphlet stuck. She then reads a bit before it pans over to her face to show a slow montage of her murdering Sam faintly over her as she smiles wickedly before she puts the pamphlet back. She then revs up the car one last time and zooms out of the base, driving into the city nearby with supersonic speed.)

Arenas:

Suburban Terror- "Oh god my heart is pounding so much right now...I feel...ALIVE"

Junkyard- "Oh I see….it's him. I doubt he even remembers who I am...fuckin prick"

Ghetto- "I'm glad Sam is suffering after the way he treated me, after he treated his number one fan. Fuckin' piece of shit. How was he even allowed to drive his car into the race anyway?!"

Harbor Shopping Plaza- "God...this place brings back memories...I haven't eaten in a long time here...or in general really."

Harbor City- "To all the people in this city that rejected me and left me with nothing, I'm back and faster than ever. Eat shit and die!"

Rooftops- "If only my family could see the monster they created! Maybe that'll teach them from abandoning me when I need help the most"

Stadium Slaughter- "My heart is beating so fast! It feels so good! I fucking love this! Minion is going to get it!"

Middle:

(Shows the final destruction of Minion, with Madeline Kramer looking at the wreckage in the stadium, crows fly over the fire) I guess I'm too quick witted for some people (Madeline proceeds to pull out a huge needle and shoots up her arm, track marks showing and all before she gets back into the Formula and proceeds to race around the track, running Minion over numerous times almost comically before stopping only to have a severed leg caught in the windshield)

Racing around the track reminds me of when I used to be big...I used to drive with the best! Sam Boomer, Jack Krolovsky, Unger Gerhart, you name it I was there next to them racing my ass off. I even managed to make it to the big leagues, Formula racing! But no one remembered me, no one would even bat a fucking eye towards me. I was better than them yet all everyone talked about was fucking Sam. Sam Boomer this, Sam Boomer that, that piece of shit was a cheater anyways! Not even my own family would acknowledge my accomplishments, to them I always cheated or I was juicing or I was a nobody. It's like I didn't even exist to them, the ignored middle child that no one cared about. I even beat him once at a race but all I got was a trophy, not even a "congrats" or a "You did great Maddy". Fuck them then, fuck the fans and fuck my family and fuck everyone! After that I said fuck it and I abandoned them entirely, not like they batted an eye anyways. (It shows a transition from her racing around the abandoned arena to racing on an actual arena back when she was just in a sports car; it then fades to show Madeline, Sam and a bunch of other drivers on the track when they all race out on the track when Sam accidentally bumps into someone else who knocks her into second place. It then fades to Sam accepting awards with fans around him and Madeline alone just walking out of the area and back into a car and drives away, which fades into a formula car. It then cuts to texts from her father telling her that she's nothing before she throws the phone into the nearby trash can and speeds off)

One thing led to another and I started shooting up after scoring some to help boost my performance on the track, to help get to that top level; at that rate I just wanted to break the sound barrier, to win the records I deserved! I didn't even eat! All I did was focus on my goals. This only led to my downfall and then people started paying attention to me; more specifically my shell starting to crack. I was the laughing stock, I had proved my family right and they officially disowned me years after not talking to them. I lost everything, my position, my money, and soon I was on the streets looking for scores. A while passed before I was approached by a guy who said he was looking to give me a job for some quick cash if it meant doing some experiments. I didn't exactly like the idea but I didn't care cause I needed my fix. (It then cuts to needle tracks in her arms in a dirty bathroom, with a mixture of white and blood slowly oozing out to race before it cuts to newspaper with a headline describing Madeline's fall from grace before it cuts to her buying another needle from a seedy dealer, after which a man shrouded in darkness and a suit walks up to her and holds out an envelope of cash which slowly reflects off of her eyes before it cuts to her getting into a car)

The only thing I remember after that was just nightmares and flashes of my family's neglectfulness: my dad's love for racing sidelined all of us and made us compete for his affection. My mother, not saying a word as she slaved away in the kitchen to this vile piece of shit. Being thrown under the bus by my sisters….after that there were a couple more flashes and then I just woke up on that table. Since then I've felt more alive than I ever have on that track and honestly? I'm glad. Wherever all of these people are, they're suffering and I won't complain; I only have my personal goals to reach. (It flashes to her family in a dirty apartment, her deadbeat dad with a polo on screaming at the TV as her mother was cooking away in the kitchen with bags under her eyes not even paying attention. It then cuts to her sisters kicking Madeline while she's down before it cuts to the mysterious man saying "Break the sound barrier…" while his words echo before it finally cuts to the shot of her hands and waking up. It then cuts back to Madeline's hands on the wheel of the Formula as she drives out of the arena and towards the blimp out in the distance before it cuts to black)

Arenas II:

Railyard- "I'm back better than ever! I'm going to push the limits the best I can and show Sam who the real champion is!"

Death Port and Docks- "These people...these people are nothing to me...these people wish they could be me, but they won't ever get fucking close"

Carnival of Darkness- "This is kind of like the speed parties I used to go to back in the day to be honest...feels homely"

SCenter- "This should be me! I should have all this but it was taken away from me by those who are jealous of me! But I will show them! I'll show them all!"

Sewer- "You can't make progress without putting in the sweat needed...regardless of the smell..."

Prison Yard- "The first fans I've ever seen in a long time….it actually brings a tear to my eye."

Harbor Military Base- "If I could just get my hands on whatever makes these secret jets tick I'll be unstoppable!"

Harbor City Airport- "Only one more...only one more time until I prove to everyone that I'm better then they will ever be...again!"

Ending:

I finally did it! I proved every single each and every one of those fucking people who told me that I would never amount to shit, and I proved them wrong. I proved EVERYONE wrong. I'm not just some dumb junkie, this dumb junkie got to places they would never get to. Winning the Twisted Metal competition felt like a trance, I had beaten all the opponents and now I'm just racing myself to become better and better. In a sense I was, I was racing myself to get to Calypso's blimp and demand my prize; but I still had to practice. There was no way I couldn't, I had to continue to push forward. (It shows Madeline smiling and hopping all over the place inside the car while going really fast, before it shows over to her finally sitting down again and smiling. It then shows marks on her arms before she looks up to see the destroyed view of the city, on fire and with screams in the background. It then shows her whizzing by multiple different arenas in five seconds before it cuts to her driving on the rooftops of Harbor City, Calypso's Blimp in clear view.)

I drove into Calypso's blimp so fast that the only thing he saw were my tread marks staining his floor. I looked into his eyes, cold and dark, and I knew that behind those eyes were a devil that would help me get what I truly want. I knew what I was doing. I told him what I wanted: I wanted to continue to set new records, I wanted to be the fastest in the world. I wanted the speed to beat what everyone else thought they couldn't, and especially thought I couldn't. (It shows Madeline ramping up the side of a building before it cuts to Calypso looking before him on his throne, mysterious track marks appearing on his floor before a formula racing car with Madeline inside shifts out of thin air into existence. It pans over to Calypso's face, which looks unamused before it cuts to his eyes, which doesn't move a single iota. It then shows Madeline's face, satisfied at her victory before she hops out through her window and goes up to him ranting frantically while Calypso stares at her with no emotion)

Calypso proceeded to do his magic, and told me to get into my car and drive. In the backseat he left me a gift, a syringe of something that was left at the lab. He told me he knew how hard it was to procure it now that everyone's dead so he told me he'd help me out, as he knew it helped me concentrate on my goals. He said it was a special serum that would almost give me something akin to superpowers and told me to try it, that I didn't even need my car as it could never keep up to what I have now. I did just that, and after hitting myself up with one last dose I proceeded to speed up. (It shows Calypso laying his hand on her forehead, his eyes turning bright red which almost looks like it seeps out with lightning striking the ground, followed by pure black. It then shows her opening her eyes to see nothing has changed. It then shows Calypso pointing at her car, which shows a giant needle in the back seat. It then shows her injecting this liquid into her veins, a blue liquid leaking out of the holes that were in her arm before it shows her dashing out of Calypso's throne room, with a sneaky smile in the background)

I kept going faster and faster and for a while it felt exhilarating, that is until the only thing I started to see was black. That's all I saw….and that's all I kept seeing. There was nothing, it's been miles but blackness just overwhelmed me. I don't understand what's going on but I think I'm pushing the void. Maybe here is where I'll find my escape. (It shows her running out of Calypso's Blimp and out of the city into the desert, with her accelerating really fast before everything just flies behind her only for there to be total blackness. It then cuts to a first person point of view only showing her hands, which slowly has blackness covering her face, outlining the face of a clown before it flashes quickly to Madeline's skin melting off fast at an extreme rate of speed, with a fade to black as it cuts back to Calypso's blimp. It then slowly pans down to show Madeline running off of Calypso's blimp while shaking uncontrollably only for her to lose consciousness, fall and crack open her skull on a destroyed ice cream truck. It then shows her body twitching as she slowly loses blood and the camera floats above her, cutting to black)
