The Accelerated World of Gumball Racing!
Operation: Rescue the Fish
All the racers stopped their cars at a designated point in the desert. They exited, and convened in a semi-huddle, near a cluster of desert rocks and boulders.
Gabriel: Alright everyone, it's no secret why I called you all here.
Tork: We know. We all just saw.
Gumball: As I'm sure Gabriel is trying to say, we have to rescue Darwin.
Monkey Mclurg: Are you serious? He was captured by the drones! How are we supposed to even find him?
Dan: For once, I agree with Monkey.
Gabriel smiled, and everyone semi-understood.
Gabriel: First, let me explain. In order for a racer, to go back to their HQ from a racing realm, they must be in their certain vehicle, the portal analyzes them, and sends them back to their portal.
Porkchop Riggs: Well, yes. But, still, even if we somehow got a drone vehicle, how would all of us be transported to their HQ?
Gumball: We steal-
Gabe: A Sweeper.
Several gasps were heard in the audience, and a few racers erupted into smiles.
Taro: How the hell are we supposed to steal a Sweeper?
Sweepers are giant truck-like vehicles, that the Racing Drones sometimes use in the realms, to capture cars and their drivers, and to deploy some drones to distract the opposition.
For about 2 hours, the Racers formulated a plan to rescue Darwin. The plan would take precision, patience, skill, team-work, and intelligence. After rehearsing the plan, everyone knew their role, and someone had an idea.
Vert Wheeler: Wait, maybe, if we're rescuing Darwin, we could try to take down the drones, once and for all!
Nolo: I'm not so sure.
Gabe: Alright, we can try to take down the Drones, but our main priority, is rescuing Darwin. Does everyone understand?
Markie: Why are we listening to this guy again?
Kurt: Because, LITTLE BROTHER, he is actually displaying intelligence, and has came up with a good plan.
Markie: No one asked you, Kurt!
Kurt: You just did.
Nolo came in-between the angry brothers, and held them apart.
Nolo: Why are you two always fighting! You're brothers, for God's sake!
Markie: This scumbag isn't my brother!
Kurt: The feeling is mutual. You should have rotted in prison. I'm glad I left you there!
At that instant, anger exploded inside Markie, and it took the strength of Nolo, Vert, and Taro to hold him back from kurt.
Markie: You asshole! I swear to God, when I'm free from their grasp, you're dead!
After Markie was calmed down, all the racers drove back to the Acceledrome, and back to the Sleeping Quarters.
Carrie: Gabe, I just want to thank you, for bringing us all together, and coming up with this plan, to rescue Darwin.
Gumball: We can't thank you enough!
Gabe was hugged by the other 3 Elmorians, and spoke.
Gabe: Thanks guys. I promise, we will become whole again. The drones deserve to suffer for all they have done.
The Elmorians drifted off to sleep, but, Kurt and Nolo were still fully awake, silently sneaking towards the Metal Maniac side of the Acceledrome.
Everything was covered in complete darkness, except the Wheel of Power.
Suddenly, a light switch was flipped on, and Kurt and Nolo were shown, crouched, holding wrenches and spray-paint, and were confronted by Karma Eiss (Pronounced as Karma Ice)
Karma: What are you two knuckle-heads doing?
Nolo and Kurt stood up, embarassed that they were just caught by Karma.
Kurt: How did you know we were here?
Karma: Call it, instincts. Or, female intuition. Now, explain yourselves to me.
*places hands on her hips*
Kurt: We were just going to play a harmless prank on the metal maniacs.
Nolo: Yeah. Harmless.
*Karma facepalms*
Karma Eiss: Guys, we're supposed to work with the Maniacs, whether we want to or not. We can't have this fighting between us, at this point. Especially with our plan to rescue Darwin. Besides, they are not all bad. Now, let's go sit over their, and talk *points*
The two followed Karma, sat down on stacks of tires, and discussed.
Karma: Nolo, I am dissapointed in you. You're supposed to be the leader of the Teku, not some child-delinquent.
And Kurt, I'm dissapointed in you even more. How could you do this-
Kurt: Karma, you don't know the half of it.
Karma: Alright, I am going to be your therapist, for a few minutes. Nolo, tell me your story with Tork.
*Nolo sighs*
Nolo: I hate him. He killed my brother, Tone. I still remember that day, and it still haunts me. I want revenge for what he did.
Karma: Nolo, have you ever stopped and thought, it wasn't his fault, or he did didn't mean to do it?
Nolo: I KNOW he meant to! I just do!
Karma: Why? Just because he is on a different team than you? That's stupid and judgemental. I'm also sure Tork doesn't hate you. Besides, Tone wasn't as good a person, as you remember-
Nolo: You shut your mouth! How dare you speak about him that way!
Karma: Nolo, I'm being honest. You don't have to scream at me. You know it's true. You are kind of acting like a child.
*Nolo angrily grunts*
Karma: Calm down.
Nolo: I'm sorry. You might be right. But I still don't trust him.
Karma: We're making progress. Now, Kurt, tell me, why do you hate Markie?
Kurt: About a year ago, one year after the World Race, Markie and I became involved in a shady business deal. He got involved with some very bad people, and became a street racer. But not the good, honorable kind. He also joined the Metal Maniacs, because of it. I told him, I would have his back, no matter what, and I would never leave him behind, that there was no way it could go back to him. I was wrong. He was arrested, and was put in prison, for some time. I had evidence, that would bail him out, but, it would place the blame on me, so I kept my mouth shut. He was released from prison, and now, he hates me.
Karma: Kurt, you have to apologize to him. You have to make peace with him, and let him know you are sorry, and you are still brothers.
Kurt: I've fucking tried! Do you realize just how much I want my brother back?! I want my peppy, hyper, irrational, funny, caring and outgoing brother back. Not a sadistic, evil, and stupid Jersey-Shore asshole of a brother.
Karma: Well, if you two ever need more help or advice from me, I'm here for you both *hugs them*
Kurt went back to his room, and Nolo stayed.
Little did they know, Markie was hiding in the shadows, and heard every word that Kurt said. He felt a little remorse and sadness at Kurt's words. But, he was still angry.
Nolo placed his hand softly on Karma's right cheek, and, suddenly kissed her, on the lips, for a few seconds straight, as a thank you. She then blushed. Footsteps were heard, and a shadow emerged.
Tork: You two love birds having some alone time? I respect that.
Nolo: Tork, it's not what it looks like.
Tork: I heard every word you said. I didn't kill your brother, Nolo.
Nolo: Fucking prove it!
Karma gently placed her hand on his right shoulder, and Nolo softened up.
Nolo: I don't know what to say.
Tork: You don't have to say anything. You're still young, and angry at the world. And so am I.
Tork walked to the Mess Hall, for a midnight snack, as Nolo and Karma walked to their seperate rooms, blushing.
*About 10 hours later*
Everyone was up and about in the Acceledrome. They were either getting breakfast, showering, tuning their cars, or talking with friends.
What happened next, was expected. A realm began to open, and Tesla called the names of drivers to go into the realm.
This time, ALL the drivers piled into their cars, and accelerated through the portal.
Tesla: What the hell is going on? Why are all of you going? I didn't choose all of you! Answer me!
All 2 dozen drivers emerged on the other side of the portal, into the City Realm.
The portal opened into an underpass/tunnel, with hundreds of automated cars, driving in different directions. It was absolute chaos.
Nolo: LOOK OUT!
All the drivers were busy trying to dodge cars, not get hit, and stay in the race.
After a few seconds of dodging cars, all the drivers made it out of the tunnel, on the red track, and saw a feast for the eyes:
A giant city, floating in the middle of an orange abyss, with the red track connecting it to the tunnel.
Shirako Takamoto automatically started playing a song on his speakers
("Action"-Hot Wheels Acceleracers)
Dan started bobbing his head to the beat of the song, beside Shirako's car.
Gumball: Alright,everyone, disable communications, NOW!
All the drivers obeyed, and disabled all the cameras, trackers, and diagnostics on their cars. Back at the Acceledrome, the camera feeds were gone, and no information from the realm was recieved.
Lani: What are they doing?
Tesla: They're- trying to rescue Darwin.
Lani: How are they all supposed to go to the Drone's HQ?
Tesla: A Sweeper!
Carrie: Remember everyone, we have to stay together, to find a Sweeper.
Nolo: What about the Accelecharger?
Kurt: We don't need the Acclechargers, IF, we stick to the plan!
Nolo: I mean, the Accelecharger for this realm!
Gabe: If we can get a Sweeper, and come in first, we can get it.
Taro: Understood.
The Racers accelerated into the City, and all of them drove onto the high-way that was several stories above most of the buildings.
Gabe: I have a hunch the portal is on the highway.
The High-way was jam-packed with cars being driven by A.I., driving at different speeds, with different moral levels. Dodging and driving around them was a menagerie.
That was, until racing drones were seen on the horizon, followed by a set of two Sweepers.
The Sweepers and Racing Drones steamrolled the A.I. cars, and were heading toward the racers.
Nolo: Alright guys, is everyone ready?
Vert: Yeah!
Kurt: All clear!
Tork: Let's get this over with!
The cars drove in-between each other, in an epic spectacle of grace and accuracy, and charged toward the Sweepers.
The Sweepers were appraoching faster, and closer.
Gabe: Everyone, get ready!
The Sweepers were several hundred feet away, and everyone iniated the plan:
Gabe: Now!
Quickly, all the cars formed a single-file line, and the line moved in-between the Sweepers, causing the Sweepers to slip, go around Tesla's racers, and knock their own drones off the track.
As the Sweepers slipped by, Taro and Kurt used their grappling hooks/spikes to attach themselves to the Sweepers, climb them, and jump inside.
With relative ease, they managed to destroy the robots driving the Sweepers, and took control of them. They pressed buttons, opening parts of the Sweepers, allowing all the Racers to pile their cars inside them.
Since they now had control of monstrous 20-foot Sweepers, nothing stood in their way. Several minutes later, they reached the portal, recieved the Acclecharger, and were transported to the Drones HQ.
The Drones HQ was Hot Wheels City, except everything was black and green, with a green sky, and an evil feeling in the air.
The Sweepers stopped, the cars exited, and began looking for Darwin. Several drivers drove towards the large tower in the middle of the city. Everyone was in for a suprise, because flying drone planes, cars, and Sweepers chased the Drivers.
Nolo: We have to find Darwin, and get out of here. There are too many of these Drones!
Nolo, Vert, and the Elmorians drove up the track in the middle of the city, and reached the tall skyscraper. They reached the main room, where Darwin and Kadeem were found unconscious, in chains.
Vert: We found them!
The drivers disabled the locks, put Kadeem and Darwin in their cars, and were ready to leave. But, they saw their plans. The racing drones were planning to turn Darwin and Kadeem into Drones,also.
The team, used their cars to destroy the machinery, and drove back down to the street level.
Shirako: Gabriel, we can't just leave! We have to destroy the racing drone factories! We need to deliver a crippling blow to them!
Gabe: Alright guys, you all heard Shirako! Destroy the factories!
The drivers used their cars, grappling hooks, a few guns, Drone's accuracy, and their Accelchargers, to wage all out war with the Drones. Drones were destroyed, buildings exploded, and the Racers cheered in victory.
Karma: All their factories are destroyed, now! We need to escape!
Vert Wheeler: Alright guys, everyone, use your EDR's!
The 2 drivers of the Sweepers stopped the Sweepers, and jumped into the cars of their friends, while at the same time, being pelted with a swarm of energy shots and blasts, in-between the smoke and fire from the burning buildings, and remnants of destroyed robots.
Everyone used their EDR, and were transported back to the Acceledrome, with their Accelchargers.
Tesla and Lani came rushing to the main area of the base, with all the drivers back, including Darwin and Kadeem.
Tesla: I demand a goddamn explanation for this!
Kurt: Shut your mouth, Tesla. We will explain later.
The two unconscious heroes awoke, and were happily greeted by their friends and family, in tears of joy and happiness.
The Elmorians embraced each other, and cried tears of happiness.
The rest of the other drivers hugged Kadeem, or high-fived him.
Kadeem: Thank so much for saving me!
Darwin: Thank you!
Vert: Kadeem, how are you still alive?
Kadeem: Just before my car exploded, one of the Racing Drones teleported me back to their HQ, and I survived. Only my car was destroyed.
Everyone began working on re-building their cars, or creating new ones, for the next realm.
That is the end of Chapter 6. Thank you for reading. Please stay tuned for Chapter 7, and follow, favorite, and review.
