"What could be the problem?" Sheriff whispered to himself before heading over to help. But as he approached his headlights reflected a Mitsubishi Eclipse. "Boost!" He mistook the Eclipse for the leader of the Delinquents. But he just chased him off in the opposite direction. He took a closer look and saw that it was someone else and was in great need of help. The paint was scratched off the sides, hood, and roof. There was a big dent on the right side of the front bumper and the rest looked like it rolled at least once and skid a bit. The front right tire was bent awkwardly compared to the rest of the chassis alignment.
Sheriff turned and sped off to fetch Mater.
Axel opened his eyes slowly. His body ached from front body to rear end. His right axle connecting to the wheel felt sore and bent a bit. He looked about with unfocused eyes. He could make out a white wall. That's all. After a while he heard drilling and other sounds. Then he heard voices coming from beside him. As he tried to recognize what he was saying his nerves for pain kicked in. All the sore parts turned to searing pain.
"Ah!"
The Hudson paused and looked at his patient. "Don't worry, son." He said encouragingly. "You'll be fine. The anesthetic should come into effect slowly. For now just relax."
The Eclipse fell back into a comforting sleep.
His eyes flew open. He saw the Hudson in front of him, accompanied by a bluish silver metallic Porsche 911 and a fiery red Race car. He looked at each one with questioning eyes.
"You're gonna be alright." The red race car spoke up. "The Doc fixed you pretty well."
"Welcome to Radiator Springs!" The Porshe spoke. "I'm Sally."
"Lightning McQueen." The red race car said.
"Doc Hudson." The Hudson replied.
The Eclipse nodded and said weakly. "I'm Axel."
"Nice to meet you." Lightning replied. "You'll need a new paint job, but man you look cool. For a Tuner."
"I do?" Axel said as he looked at himself. The paint was gone here and there but his body was repaired with its streamlined design. He rolled slowly following Lightning and Sally out.
Lightning spoke to Axel as they rolled along. "You look like someone." He looked at Axel's body, though battered, the make of the model could be easily figured out. "An Eclipse?" Axel nodded in reply. "Do you know Boost? He looks like—You okay?" At the mention of the name Boost, Axel stopped in his tracks.
"I'm… fine." He stuttered as a memory flooded his mind.
He was a young kid car cruising along a street orphaned after his parents were taken by a car crash. There he meets Boost who befriended him because of their similar looks and traits. He was adopted by Boost's family.
They were friends for a long time. Boost didn't have the large spoiler nor did he have those neon lights glowing underneath him. But one day a group of tuners came and befriended them. Once they came Boost went bad. He started breaking rules and doing illegal drag races. Axel tried to keep from being tied to Boost but neither did he want to lose his friend. One day Boost got pissed at Axel and caused a great accident that looked similar to what Axel's parents have been in and caused a kid to lose his parents too. Ever since that day Axel always hated Boost and even despises him. Though actually, the thing he knows, and what Boost doesn't know is that he is Boost's…
"Hello?" Lightning waved his front tire in front of Axel to catch his attention. Axel shook his head back into reality.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little sore from the bumps." Axel slowly rolls along the road. They led him to the gas diner, Flo's V8 Café. He was given a serving of pure unleaded gasoline, which he requested, and a warm welcome to Radiator Springs.
"Do you mind me asking," Lightning started as he finished his order, "Do you know Boost? Leader of the Delinquent Road Hazards?" Lightning saw the look in Axel's eyes knowing that he may have hit a nerve, or a gear, and was about to change the topic when Axel spoke up.
"I do know him." He looked into Lightning and Sally's eyes. "He's my step brother, and I'm… his adopted brother." he said going in circles trying to humor himself. "Well, I wish he wasn't now."
"So…" Sally said skeptically to the young innocent car. "You have a grudge?"
"Not really… Well I don't call it a grudge." He said as he took another sip. "I don't really hate people. I just, don't like them for something they have done." He turned to look at the body art shop. "Is that where we're heading to next?"
"Yeah!" Lightning said. "You ready for a touch-up. Your silver-metallic paint job, or what was left of it, was nice. I could just imagine it…" He held up his wheels to emphasize his imagination as if Axel were in a frame.
"Lightning. You're not an artist." Sally joked, "You're a racecar." She pointed out, chuckling,before leading Axel to the Body Art Shop. Lightning stood there taken aback.
"I can dream can't I?" Lightning said as he followed.
"What more do you have to dream?" Axel asked laughing. "You're a famous racecar!"
"Right!" Lightning nudged Axel playfully with his right wheel.
"Ow." Axel flinched as it hit his injured axle.
"Oh, sorry." They all laughed.
I know it isn't too action-packed as I would have hoped but please review. Thanks for those who reviewed :)
