The Accelerated World of Gumball Racing!
Chapter 9: The Ultimate Race
After the meeting, all the racers went about their normal business. For several days, they trained, worked on their vehicles, came up with coordinated plans, and ate. They talked about their hopes, dreams, fears, and more. Old, bitter rivalries were softened, new oppurtunities opened, and everyone was prepared to say their final goodbye's, just in-case.
Nolo: Tork, I want to apologize. I'm sorry for blaming Tone's death on you. I miss and love Tone, but it was his own fault. Please forgive me.
Tork: Nolo, it's o.k. If I was in your position, I would feel the same way. It's o.k.
*Nolo and Tork brofist*
**************
Taro: Lani, I'm sorry I wasn't the right man for you. If we die, at least we died for a good cause.
Lani: Thank you Taro. I'm joining all of you.
**************
Nolo: Karma, if we get out of this alive, I'll be your man.
Karma: I look forward to that, Nolo. *Repetitive kissing and making out*
"Vert outside the door"
Vert: Hey guys, can you get out of the bathroom now? I need to take a piss.
**************
Gumball: Everyone, it's been an honor serving with you.
*All the Elmorians high-five*
Suddenly, the next portal opened. All the racers piled into their cars, and accelerated into the portal. Even Lani and Tesla joined the their racers.
Lani drove the white and red Medical Station Wagon, while Tesla drove his white/purple Silencer-looking vehicle.
The portal opened into Outer Space. Planets were scattered everywhere, along with millions of stars in the distance. Comets and asteroids flew through the dimension, and the signature orange track curved and twisted through space.
When the racers touched down on the track, some of them were launched back into the air.
Nolo: Woah!
Vert: Oh no!
Gumball: Guys, the skill for this realm, is to carefully drive, without making sudden movements.
All the cars touched the track again, and sped down it.
Further along the track, were several Sweepers, and a few Silencers.
Dr. Tesla: Drones, dead ahead!
A Silencer vehicle materialized beside Dr. Tesla, and slammed into his vehicle. Dr. Tesla's car floated off the track, and was approaching a near-by black hole.
Lani: Tesla!
Gumball: Don't worry, I've got Tesla!
Gumball stopped his vehicle, turned it around, and zoomed through the other racers. Gabriel stuck a hand out of his car, and handed Gumball an Accelecharger.
Gumball used the Nitrous to boost into the air, then used the Swamp Realm Accelecharger to create a road of vines.
The vines failed to materialize, and both Tesla and Gumball were sucked into the Black Hole.
3 Sweepers were approaching the Racers, followed by a dozen drones.
Darwin: Everyone, stick to the plan!
Nolo: We've got this!
Tork: Maniacs, let's move some metal.
A black Hole opened up, above the track, between the Racers and their enemies. Gumball and Tesla came out of the black hole, using Hyperpods left by the Accelerons.
They quickly detached from them, and the Hyperpods were launched towards the Sweepers, sending them and most of the drones flying off the track, and into Space.
After about 20 minutes of racing, the teams finally approached the end portal, which was near a planet that looked like Saturn.
Near the portal, were a trio of Silencers.
Dan: Someone has to stop them.
Shirako: I've got this.
Shirako used his Nitrous 2 to boost him to 300 mph, then used jump jets, and steered his car on it's side, zooming through the air. At the same time, he used his vehicle's speakers, to project his music as a weapon of sound, knocking the Silencers, and sending them spiraling behind everyone.
Shirako and everyone else arrived back in the Acceledrome, with Shirako recieving the Cosmic Realm Accelecharger.
Shirako: What exactly does this do, again?
Tesla: It allows your car, to travel at the speed of light. This is far beyond any technology that anyone has today. How the Accelerons are so God-like, is unknown.
Kurt Wylde: Okay Tesla, what's next?
Tesla: We have to give all of our Accelechargers, to our best drivers. What is next, is, "The Ultimate Race".
Gumball: What is that?
Tesla: We must convene in the Meeting Room.
Tesla: Now, the Ultimate Race is a special event. When all the realms have been conquered, the Wheel of Power sort of, "resets the realms", for the Ultimate Race. All the best drivers from the teams, must race through the realms, all over again. Except, the winner, gets to go to the Acceleron Homeworld. I must now hand out the Accelechargers to our best drivers.
Tesla handed out the Accelechargers, to Nolo, Vert, Gumball, Darwin, Penny, Carrie, Gabe, Taro, and Tork, based on their skills.
Everyone cheered and high-fived, in celebration.
Tesla: The fate of the world rests on your shoulders. All of my Racers are talented, but you are the best. I salute you.
*Returned salutes*
Dan: Not so fast.
Dan quickly stood up, and pulled out a Shotgun.
Dan: Everyone, shut the hell up. For every outburst, I fire a shot. And I won't miss. Don't speak, unless I talk to you. Now, hand me the Accelchargers. All of you. Put your hands in the air.
Tesla: Dan, what in God's name are you doing?!
Dan: I'm not one of you, and I never will be. I'm-
A Silencer. I was undercover. I told them all of your secrets, mission plans, location, weapons, Nitrous 2, EVERYTHING. I was the one who tried to kill Kadeem in the storm realm! The Silencers are on their way over here. The Silencers have won. You cannot stop us!
Nolo: You traitor! I trusted you! We all trusted you-
Dan turned, and shot Nolo in the chest, causing him to collapse on the floor, unconscious.
Karma: You sick bastard!
Dan turned, and prepared to fire again, but a racer took action.
Gabriel ran towards Dan, and Sparta kicked him in the back, causing him to fall face-first on the floor, dropping the Shotgun. Gabriel then jumped on top of Dan, turned him over, and grabbed his throat, while Lani and Karma rushed to grab a Med-Kit to save Nolo.
Gabe: Listen, you little bitch. You're going to tell us exactly what and how the Silencers are planning. Their history, origins, technology, their connections, EVERYTHING. Nothing is left out! If you do, we MIGHT let you live. If you even THINK about lying to us, and we find out, oh, boy, you better hope the Silencers get to you, before I DO!
Dan: Yes, of course! I'll tell you everything!
After several hours of grueling interrogation, the Racers knew what the Silencers were planning, and how to shut them down.
Everyone was holding their breath for Nolo's fate. Remarkably, he turned out okay, because of his bullet-resistant armor under his jacket.
Nolo awoke on a hospital bed, in the Infirmary, with a kiss from Karma.
Karma: You're in no condition to fight. We will handle everything. Just rest.
Nolo: What about Dan?
Karma: Gabe dealt with him. We won't need to worry about him, anymore.
Nolo: Can I still race?
Karma: Of course! You're Nolo Pasaro! *Kiss*
Nolo smiled, then closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
*****************
Dan: Okay, I've told you guys, EVERYTHING. Can you please let me go?
Gabe: *sarcastic voice* Gee, Tesla, what do you think?
Tesla: I don't know Gabriel. I don't think we should trust him.
Carrie: I hear ya.
Gumball: Maybe we should, exterminate him.
Dan: What?! NO! We had a deal! Please, no! I swear, I won't say anything! Just don't hurt me!
Gabe: Normally, I would give have sympathy for you. But, after what you did, and who you are, I can't.
Gabe pulled out Dan's shotgun, and shot Dan in the head, killing him.
Tesla: I think we should clean-up the mess.
The Silencers arrived hours later, and were met by all the racers, and mechanics, holding guns.
The Silencers exited their vehicles, with their hands up. A familiar face was recognized.
Vert: Dad!? You're a member of the Illuminati?! How could you?
Tesla: All of you, off to the interrogation room, now!
The Illuminati leaders, soldiers, and pop-stars were interrogated, and exposed to the world.
Tesla: By the time the Ultimate Race begins, we will be considered heroes!
The Illuminati members, soldiers, and pop-stars were shot and killed by the Racers, ending their reign of evil on the world.
But that was not all: It was discovered, that the Silencers had actually kidnapped several racers, that were thought to be dead.
Banjee Castillo, Dan Dresden the First, Alec "Hud" Wood, and Markie Wylde were united with their friends and fellow racers.
Markie: KURT!
Kurt: Markie!
The two brothers hugged each other, and began apologizing.
Markie: Kurt, I'm so sorry for how I've been acting. Words can't describe how stupid I feel.
Kurt: It's okay, little brother. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.
The two brothers started sobbing, happy they were re-united, and had an understanding.
Banjee: Kadeem! Vert! Alec! *high-fives*
Kurt: Hello their, Dan. I'm glad your okay.
Dan: It's been a long time, Kurt.
Tesla remotely destroyed the Silencer's HQ, using his hacking Skills, Gig's technology, and their Nitrous 2 tanks.
Gig: That was easy.
Suddenly, the next realm opened.
Tesla: Alright, racers,go! It's time, for, "The Ultimate Race"!
The best drivers accelerated through the portal, and sped through the Racing Realms, racing against Gelorum and her racing drones.
Gelorum: DESTROY THEM!
Vert: Motivational music time!
*Vert started playing, "Let it Rock", by Kevin Rudolf, on his car's speakers.*
All of Tesla's drivers watched the action in the Communications room.
As they raced through the realms, the drivers used their Accelechargers, skills, and team-work, to destroy the drones, until Gelorum was the only one left.
Gumball: It's 9 vs 1!
Gelorum: That hardly seems fair... for you HUMANS!
Gelorum used the Nitrous 2, and accelerated to 300 mph, as they quickly re-conquered realms in minutes-time.
Nolo: Let's see if this Nitrous 3 Afterburner really works!
All the racers used the new Nitrous Tesla invented, and sped down the tracks, alongside Gelorum.
In every single-realm, Gelorum used Accelechargers, almost not relying on her skills. The Racers were just the opposite.
They finally reached the end of the Cosmic Realm, and accelerated into the portal.
The portal opened, into a white abyss, with a gray track.
Tesla: They've done it! They've reached The Sphere!
Lani: What exactly is the Sphere?
Tesla: The portal to the Acceleron Homeworld!
Gelorum: You fools! I deserve the right to be an Acceleracer!
Gelorum and the racers stopped their cars outside of the portal, and began fighting.
Nolo ran, and tried to falcon-kick Gelorum, but Gelorum grabbed his leg, and threw him into Tork and Taro.
Gumball and Darwin charged, and delivered a few punches and kicks, but Gelorum smashed their heads together.
Unexpectedly, the racers stopped, and felt a presence staring at them.
A being, in a white/blue racing jacket, floated out of the portal, with orange visors, symbols on his racing suit, of the racing realms, and had a heavenly/alien-ish voice.
Being: I am an Acceleron.
Gelorum: Yes! You are here. I deserve to race you. I beat these filthy humans.
Acceleron: But, you used the Accelechargers too much. The other drivers are the real winners. They deserve to be Acceleracers.
Gelorum: NO!
The Acceleron levitated into the air, and used his levitation powers to pick-up Gelorum, levitate her into the air, and made a crushing motion with his hand, destroying her. Next, he pointed at the 9 heroes, and followed by a flash of light, were wearing similar racing jackets and helmets.
The 9 heroes were introduced to the beautiful Utopian beauty of the Acceleron homeworld. Floating buildings, cities, racing tracks/realms, and more. Everyone was happy. The Accelerons did everything differently than the humans, which is why they were successful.
The humans were transported back to the Acceledrome, where they were reunited with their drivers, and introduced to the Acceleron leaders.
The Acceleracers destroyed Gelorum's racing drone Headquarters, and were made world famous, and re-knowned as heroes. Scientists made technology leaps, thanks to the racers and Accelerons. The Accelerons had diplomatic talks with the Nations of the world, and established a Utopia of peace, prosperity, love, racing, and advanced, God-like technology, and much longer human lives. Everyone was happy and satisfied. Or, at least, almost everyone. Not even the Accelerons had gotten rid of ALL EVIL...
All the Acceleracers stayed in contact, but had new and exciting lives together, along with Elmorians and Accelerons, all sharing two home planets.
Vert Wheeler became a racing instructor.
Nolo and Karma married, and stayed profressional Street Racers.
Taro and Lani re-conciled, and became mechanics.
Monkey McKlurg and Sparky became assistants of Taro and Lani.
Shirako became a DJ/Rapper, and Eminem's new partner.
Tork and Porkchop opened a car Dealership, together.
Tesla retired, alongside Gig,and was content to relax, for the rest of his life.
Kurt and Markie became best friends again, and got to know each other, like real brothers.
Alec became one of Vert's assistants.
Banjee and Dresden became pranksters on a tv show.
The 5 main Elmorians stayed adventurers and best friends.
All of the racers mourned the brave heroes before them, who fought to get them this far. The rest of the High-Way 35 racers deserved to rest in peace, knowing that their work wasn't in vain.
