Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Brick's POV
We made it to the clearing.
It was a cool evening the sun was almost setting casting a deep red and pink across the deserted plain of road. We where currently under the free way on an untouched race course, and when I say 'we' I mean the DLR. The race track looked tricky and unpredictable, sharp twists, fast straights, heavy hair-pins, and plenty of room for mistake. I sigh trying to keep my temper under control I was absolutely lived I wasn't racing in such a crucial race, because I have a personal vendetta with the people involved. Which was my very downfall.
Because of my strong burning connection I wasn't 'allowed' to race as my concentration and focus wouldn't be up to standard. However the other reason I wouldn't race is so she wouldn't either. My anger at the people concerned in this race did not burn as deep as the feelings I had for my fiery headed beauty Blossom. I was amazed at how captivated I was with this girl after half a year.
She was stood arms crossed in black shorts, knee length flat black boots, a light pink tank top and her DLR leather cropped jacket on, her copper hair that was reflecting the setting sun magnificently it was up in a high pony tail and her bangs fell delicately in front of her face. She had her weight rested back on her back leg and her arms crossed, thinking. She was stood away from us.
Butch and Buttercup where stood in close contact, Butch had a malicious grin on his face and eger excitement glistening in his eyes. They where both wearing leather trousers (or shorts in Buttercup's case) and black tops, however Butch had messily scribbled 'Butch' on his shirt in white writing; saying he wanted his name to be the last 'they' see before they won. I heard a few words from their muffled dialogue. Words such as 'speed' 'bumpers' 'slash tires' all creating a new scenario of scenes in my mind.
I shook it off and switched my attention to my other brother who was conveniently chatting to the one and only Bubbles. Bubbles had pale blue jeans on with a white pattern top and her DRL racing jacket. Boomer had dark jeans on with a dark blue shirt and a navy sweat jacket over the top. My eyes dropped then doubled, Boomer and Bubbles where holding hands. I turned around and let out a low whistle and a quick laugh before turning back round. I was happy for him I guess I mean Bubbles seems okay, she isn't some whore as people have said at school so I knew she wouldn't hurt him, (and leave me to sort out an emotional Boomer! Never again!)
And finally Josh, Leah and Stephen where leaning against Butch's car chatting quietly. There was a soft calm over the group until the sound of a powerful engine brought everyone's gaze to the slip road. Aidan and Tony had arrived.
Blossom didn't move as car after car filed through the entrance to the race track, Tony had a powerful Nissan Skyline GTR R34while Aidan equally had a Corvette ZR1Intense as they where I remained my poker face, Aidan, Tony and a couple of their crew approached us. I realised the girl that Blossom punched in the club that fateful night was their too, hanging all over Aidan like and animal, Katie I think her name was but at this point I really couldn't care less.
"So who's our victims?" Aidan asks in a slimy voice, I grit my teeth and Butch and Buttercup are visibly shaking with rage.
"Where the ones who are going to kill you" Buttercup spat with venom, Tony smirked and I had to use all my will power not to lunge at him. Blossom then walked to join our group.
"Ah so Blossom care not to get your so called 'revenge'? Jade really mean so little to you?" Aidan taunted, Blossom didn't move.
"And Brick? Still on the racing side of life after you almost killed blondie over there? And not even up for a real challenge?" Tony finally spoke, I felt the fire in my eyes and my temper exploded. I kept this all caged in my body, my eyes flicked to Boomer suddenly as he seemed to have had enough and jumped at him.
Bubbles wrapped her arms around his body and about 3 men jumped in front of Tony while Josh, Butch and Stephen calmed Boomer down.
"And what about your father?" Tony lashed again and this time Blossom snapped. Within a spilt second she had a gun poised right between Tony's eyes. I didn't move to stop her why would I? I was itching for her to pull the trigger. The men them pulled their own guns out at her and I instantly had my own out too.
Nobody spoke.
The tension was palpable and the hate was felt by everyone.
"Don't" Was all Blossom said before she retreated back to my side.
"Well then lets begin" Aidan said without a word they got into their cars and the countdown began.
5
"Buttercup I think there's something wrong on the tail of the car, check it because your dead without it" Blossom said.
4
"I don't have time!" Buttercup yelled
"Buttercup I will not have you die over something so foolish!" Blossom said authority in her tone.
3
Buttercup looked exasperated but quickly did as Blossom asked and went to the back of her car.
2
And in that spilt second I saw Blossom make a run for it.
1
She jumped into Buttercups car and hit the gas.
GO!
Her wheels screeched as she raced off with Aidan and Tony grinning right behind her.
"NO!" Everyone screamed, Butch scrambled into his car but I stopped him.
"Move!" I commanded, Butch threw me and evil glare but I ignored it and all but threw him out of the car while he screamed curses at me. I should have seen this coming, it was Aidan and Tony's plan overall to get her so worked up, she was not racing without me and I would not let her die.
Blossom's POV
I was looking straight ahead and I saw the first bend arriving, I quickly flicked my eyes to look in the rear view mirror and saw Tony and Aidan behind me with Aidan having a slight lead. Then another car flashed into view, I expected Butch to have jumped into the race but what I wasn't expecting was blazing red eyes glaring at me. I growled in frustration.
What the hell did he think he was doing? This was not his race (well I guess he had a connection to Tony after what happened with Boomer.)
I couldn't dwell on the situation for any longer than a second as the corner quickly was upon me Islammed on the handbreak and the wheel on an opposite lock. I drifted round the corner with ease, I let a breath I had been holding in escape my lips as the feeling of adrenaline flooded me. This is why I do what I do, the thrill is insane and the chase is always fun.
Looking back I see all three cars drift the corner and straighten up, the road began to climb as we went up hill to gain an advantage I hit Buttercups NOS as my car shot in front. I was pushed back into the seat and let a thrill scream escape my lips. However my exhilaration was short lived as I saw the nose of Aidan's car come right at the side of me I glanced over to see him smirking at me.
My concentration faltered.
A deadly mistake.
Aidan smashed his 2 ton car into mine and sent me veering to the wall edge. We where racing over a bridge with a 30ft drop beneath us, I straightened up and narrowed my eyes anger raging I slam my car into Aidan's who barely moves. He grins maliciously and moves out ready to strike me the final blow sending me over the edge. However he underestimated my smarts so I ever so slightly slowed down.
Tony's car was behind and Brick had gained a lead on him and I prayed he knew how to fit into my plan. Aidan then twisted the wheel flying straight into my side just then I added the extra speed I had saved and by the skin of my teeth clipped out of the way sending Aidan colliding with the wall. My eyes where glued to the rear view mirror as I see Brick on my wavelength perfectly. He adds the extra power needed to silence Aidan once and for all ploughing Aidan's car straight through the wall and to the cement below.
The explosion doesn't faze me. One down one to go. Focus layered everything as the next turn approached I began my drift Brick behind me and Tony behind him. We all drifted the corner with expertise and powered on, the third corner looked complicated so I moved to the wall to get extra room. I prepared to begin my drift when 2 sounds shattered every thought of concentration and left my blood running cold.
Bang Bang
I sloppily get round scratching the entire back of the car, in the back of my mind knowing Buttercup would go mad. After the corner I scan all my mirrors and can't find any cars following me my heart hammers faster. Then a car flashes into view.
Tony is behind me and Brick is no where in sight.
I begin to breath heavily my 'cool' facade dropping completely. Pure fear and worry are exposed across my face and I rake my fingers through my hair. No! Brick- No! He can't- this all my fault! Before I lose it completely Tony's car appears at the side of me, he's holding a gun and grinning like the devil. The finish line looks extremely far away but the race means nothing to me now all that matters is this bastard is gone. Forever.
I quickly pull a gun from the car and aim it at him, he breaks sharply and ends up behind me, exactly where I don't want him. He fires his gun blowing the back window through I put my hands over my head and steer right sharply applying the breaks so we where even again. He slams his car into mine throwing my body in turn into the door, he does it again and this time I drop the gun. Before he has a chance to do it a third time I hit the gas hard and jump in front of him, in the seconds I had I reached down and grabbed the gun.
Looking to my left Tony was right by my side again he spoke in a menacing voice.
"Bang Bang"
"Your DEAD!" I screamed.
I fired my gun hitting him right between the eyes, his car swerved swinging right round to collide with the front of mine, the bonnet of my car crumbled and the nose shot down flicking my car straight over. Upside down the roof of my car skidded along the road until darkness took over.
Brick POV
That damn bastard. His bullets had enough force to send my car into a spin.
"FUCK!" I screamed I hit the gas too hard and the car jumped and came to a holt.
"No! I cannot stall right now!" I yelled, I then heard a crunching noise then the most spine chilling sound I have come to loath. Two gun shots. I start the car making it fly around the corner onto the last bend, the sight was enough to knock the wind out of me, feel as if I had been punched my a prized boxer, make me want to explode.
Blossom's car was a meshed up ball that flew over the finishing line on it's roof, sparks flying from the back as the two destroyed cars came to a stop. I screeched over the line and hit the break before dashing out of the car, tears collecting in my eyes. I saw the rest of the group sprinting over Butch and Buttercup in front with the rest extremely close behind.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" Bubbles panted, Tony's car was inflamed and the stench of gas filled the air.
I ran to Blossom and jumped onto my knees peering through the window. My breath hitched into my throat.
Blossom was upside down and unconscious her beautiful pink eyes hidden from the world, blood was pouring from a cut somewhere on her head and was covering half her face. Her head and neck where taking the weight of her body while it was hanging from the seat buckle.
"Brick the fire!" Boomer screeched, Buttercup was kneeling at the side of me now looking at Blossom.
"Blossom!" She screamed.
"We need to get her out! Tony's car's going to explode!" I command
"I've called 911" Bubbles yells, tears streaming from her eyes Boomer physically having to hold her up from collapsing.
A sharp explosion makes us all flinch making us work faster.
"Guys!" I yell to Butch, Boomer, Josh and Stephen.
Butch and Josh use all of their strength to pull the door open that had been smashed into the rest of the car. Once that was over I crawled inside and let go of the seat belt freeing Blossom's body, It fell at once putting her spine in an unnatural position. I quickly checked for a pulse.
Nothing.
I freeze and look at her unable to function all sounds from everyone fading away.
"BRICK!" Butch yells and I come back to reality.
Gritting my teeth refusing to give up with the sicken smell of gas getting stronger I had no choice but to drag her body, scratching it all over the rough surface. I get out and once half of her body was out the guys pulled her up and I scooped her into my arms.
"RUN!" Buttercup screams as the sparks get stronger from Tony's car as the flames finally reach the open gas.
We run before the car explodes, causing Blossom's to explode too due to the force and impact. We turn back to look at the two burning scraps of metal the flames licking at the cars knowing we have just ridden the world of two of the most evil men on earth.
And having paid the most brutal price for it.
The Final Chapter is just one click away!
