Chapter 1
I drifted around a corner and the finish line came into my view. I slammed my foot down, forcing my car to its limits. I raced across the finish line, closely followed by a member of the black panthers in a silver car. I jumped out of my car keeping my helmet on, I then walked towards James, he handed me a huge amount of money. "Thanks" I said casually.
"You earned it, you're doing well only being eighteen" he replied. I nodded quickly and then returned to my car, I heard sirens. I quickly restarted my car and drove off into the night. Two police cars began to chase me. I let a small grin come over my face. I slowed down. The two cars got either side of me. A third car appeared and slowed down boxing me in. I put my foot down forcing the car at the front away. I then forced my car sideways, one car was sent into a wall causing little damage. The final car hit me putting a dent in the side of my car. I pulled the handbrake, the police car went forwards. I raced after him, I then rammed him forcing him forwards. I smashed his car into a wall and then raced off again arriving at the street radicals garage.
I parked my car and looked over the damage. There was a huge dent on the right side of my car preventing the door from opening. Another dent on the front of my car had caused the engine to leak. I slammed my fist into the wall. The engine had been a custom job, my car was completely wrecked, I looked around the garage. The only other car around was Light streak, Chris's car. Something moved nearby, Chris appeared covered in oil. "Hi Zero, did you win" he asked. I nodded quickly and took the bundle of money out of my pocket.
"There was a problem though" I said. Chris cut me off
"you challenged the cops again, come on you've got to just calm down" I nodded slowly knowing that he was right.
"We'll have to get you a new car" he thought for a second and then continued "we need to get you a stronger car" Crystal suddenly arrived in the garage. She got out of her car swinging her long blue hair as she removed her helmet.
"Chris third gears holding for too long" she said angrily,
Chris looked at her car and then quickly replied
"I'll fix it in a sec" Crystal looked over at my car with her ice blue eyes
"you trashed Street fury!" she screeched. I nodded slowly, Chris seemed to still be thinking
"We'll get you a Dodge" Crystals mouth dropped open.
"But I've always wanted a viper, and you said we couldn't afford one" I shook my head and gave a small laugh.
"Chris means a challenger, but I'm sure we can afford a viper as well" Chris looked at the money I had handed him and then nodded slowly.
"We'll get them then" he quickly walked over to his laptop and ordered a Dodge viper and a Dodge Challenger.
"What are you going to do with Spring Rain" I asked Crystal,
"I suppose I'll leave it here" she replied.
"Hey Chris" I said casually "get me a black Charger and don't customise it" Chris looked at me and nodded
"You're going to do it yourself" He replied. I walked back over to Crystal
"Did you win your race" I asked her, she shook her head, then looked up at me with tears in her eyes. I knew what had happened, they had ganged up on her and scared her out of racing
"Which one was it" I said while putting on my racing gloves, she shook her head
"don't do it" she said sadly grabbing hold of my shirt.
"listen they're pushing you around and I care too much about you to let them say or do anything to you. Just tell me who it was, i'm heading up there anyway" She shook her head again and then ran back over to her car.
"Yo Chris can you get hold of Rick" Chris turned quickly,
"you two are going to fight them again" He turned back and grabbed his phone "here you ring him I'm busy" I picked up the phone and dialled Rick's number.
"Hi Chris what's up" he said casually
"Hi Rick its Zero, The Streaks have been pushing Crystal around again" I replied quickly "Are you in" I continued.
"Yep" Rick said, the line then went dead.
"Chris can I borrow your car" I stated, Chris jumped up and grabbed his keys, he threw them to me
"Don't damage it Zero, I've put in too much wrench time" he shouted to me. I walked over to Death Rage, Chris's lightning blue Vauxhall Vectra. I jumped in and drove to the other garage, it was hidden in an alley. Ricks favourite place. I parked outside, moments later Rick appeared in his newly finished car Light Streak, a Dodge Neon completely customized.
We both got ready "Let's go this time I'm not letting them get away" I said an evil tone in my voice. Rick looked over at me
"Let's take them down" He replied. We drove to there garage, I parked outside and hopped out of my car. I walked into the garage closely followed by Rick. One guy saw us
"hey…" I swung at his throat, sending him to the floor gasping before he could finish a sentence. I dropped onto his knees and said quietly "do you remember what I said I'd do if you cheated her again" He didn't reply. I got up off his knees, he tried to get up but I swung my foot snapping his knee
"you won't race for a long time" I said quietly. I turned to see Rick break the leaders nose. I walked into the back, two people ran towards me, I swung my leg catching the one on my left in his stomach. I turned to the one on my right and punched him in the face. They both fell to the floor, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see a fist coming at my face, suddenly the person stopped and flew backwards. Rick had grabbed him and threw him. Rick looked at me and then we went over to there cars and began to tear them apart. After ten minutes we stopped and walked out the team members where all unconscious we left casually and got back in our cars
"is one of them missing" Rick asked, I nodded slowly.
"Craigs missing but whatever, are you coming back to the other garage or are you finishing off light streak at your garage" Rick seemed to think for a moment and then turned back to me
"I'll have to go to the main garage Chris has some parts for me" We both got in our cars and drove back to the main garage. I parked Chris's car and then passed his keys back to him
"it's running great" I said casually. Chris let out a small laugh, Rick walked over to Chris and began to talk. I however walked over to Crystals parking bay but her supra was missing.
"Chris where's my old car, have you scrapped it yet" I asked casually, Chris continued to talk to Rick but pointed towards the back of the garage.
I went outside, grabbing my old cars keys as I went past. I saw my old car night shade, a black Hemi Cuda. I jumped in and started it up. 'It still runs perfectly' I thought, I drove out of the garage. I headed straight for the coast road, I got there and saw Crystals car parked next to a Red Subaru Impreza. I knew that car it was Craig's. I slowed my car down and parked it behind a rock formation, I silently walked over to the cars and looked in nobody was in them. I then heard a scream, it was Crystal. I ran forwards seeing her on the floor at the edge of the cliff being held down by Craig. I ran forwards and swung my leg without giving chance for a second thought, Craig was thrown backwards. I lifted up Crystal, she clung to me.
"Hey Craig, I've got something for you" I yelled, he got up off the floor and looked at me strangely. "The same amount of pain that your guys are in" I continued. I ran forwards, Crystal released her grip on me. I swung my fist plunging it deep into Craig's stomach, he fell to the floor, coughing violently. His eyes wide open. I turned and walked back to Crystal, she put her arms around me
"thank you" she said softly. I didn't reply but I let a smile cross my face, I helped her into her car.
"Do you need a ride" she said calmly, I continued walking towards Craig's car
"No I've got Night shade over there" I said pointing to my car. I broke the window of Craig's car and then popped the hood. I grabbed hold of the opened hood and pulled extremely hard, I heard the hinges snap. I stumbled backwards but managed to stay standing. I threw the hood over the edge of the cliff. I then walked over to his car again and ripped out the main wiring and threw that over the cliff as well. Crystal watched me strangely,
"why did you do that" she asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
"I warned them the next time they mess with you I'd wreck there cars among other things" I said with no remorse, "I'm sorry if I scared you" I continued allowing a comforting tone to enter my voice. I walked over to night shade and jumped in, We drove back to the garage and parked our cars again. I got out of my car and looked over it casually.
"still runs like a charm" I muttered to myself.
I stood up and walked over to Crystal who had been tampering with her engine. I stood next to her leaning against the wall waiting for her to finish. She turned to me
"Thank you for saving me but why did you get so angry" she said, I looked at her for a second
"I don't want anything to happen to you, to anyone I care about" I stated.
"Let me walk you home" I said calmly, she nodded slowly. We locked our car bays, I then turned to Chris and Rick
"see you guys tomorrow" I said. Rick looked up from his car and nodded slightly and Chris just waved his hand. Crystal didn't say anything she just walked out of the garage, I jogged out and caught up to her and then continued to walk by her side. We didn't talk for a while, until I noticed she was shivering in the cold October night. I put my Black racing jacket over her, she looked up at me again "thank you" She said in her soothing voice, she lent against me and we continued walking until I heard a familiar sound an engine, a rotary engine. Only one team had that type of engine.
"Hide" I said pushing Crystal towards an alley. I turned quickly to see a silver car coming towards me, It had black panther vinyl on the side I turned towards it knowing who it was.
Two people got out of the car, One was an old friend of mine Eric, the leader of the black panthers. The other was James the member who I had beaten only an hour earlier. They both walked towards me.
"Hi Zero" Eric said casually.
"Hi Eric, haven't seen you for a while" I answered. Eric put his hand in his pocket and then handed me a card.
"It's in a month" he said before turning and walking back to his car. "Thanks Eric" I said calmly. James hadn't walked away yet, he was scowling at me.
"If you want to fight me bring it on" I stated with no fear in my voice.
"James come on" Eric yelled, James turned and I smiled at Eric. They then drove straight on.
I turned and carried on walking, they drove past and I stopped and turned to Crystal, she walked back out into the street. I put my arm around her once more and we began to walk again.
"what was that about" she asked seeming slightly worried.
"It's about the ultimate race, it happens in one month" I said slowly. "Route 66" she said quietly. I nodded. After five minutes we arrived at her house. She opened her door and walked in, she turned and handed me my jacket.
"See you tomorrow" I said quietly she seemed hesitant to let me leave,
"bye" she said with a hint of sadness in her voice. I returned to my house, I locked my door behind me and then walked upstairs and into my bedroom, I turned on my PC and began to order parts for my Dodge Challenger. I then lay on my bed and fell almost instantly to sleep.
