Chapter 2: Deadly Drag Race

"It's called... Deadly Drag Race... Of DOOM!" James announced as the title of his story.

More lightning flashed outside, with a roar of thunder accompanying it. Just like before with Jake, everyone started to feel intimidated by this tale. James began his story, "Once upon a night,. A long time ago, there was this racer... but not just any racer... he was a killer."

As he starts to tell the story, we go into the fantasy world as we see this deranged killing racer.

He appeared to have dark, spiky hair . Pale green skin, blood shot crazy eyes, and sharp teeth. Plus he had this insane laughter as he was driving down the road extremely fast.

"If there was one thing the racer loved to do, it was drag race others. And he always won... by killing the other racer."

The killer speeds up to the other driver and viciously rams the driver hard and knocks the car off the road to death.

"He did this to everyone who dared to even challenge him. Until one day... he would be involved in one race... that would be his last..."

The killer was currently racing against another top drag racer during a very dangerous storm, with rain pouring down very hard. He was so into the racing, that he barely paid any attention to the road... at all. Just then, they were approaching a cliff side. But the killer didn't notice it... until the very last minute.

And he screamed upon noticing.

"The killer's car broke through the guard rails, and and he plummeted down off the side of the cliff... and he was never seen again..."

Cubby immediately began to shake his legs with fright already, "Aw coconuts..."

But James continued to tell the story.

"Nobody ever saw the drag racer after that, so they assumed he was truly dead. Little did they know, was that even though he was dead... his spirit... and curse... would live on."

Curse?

That's when we go into the present day, where we see a young boy (Played by James), driving on his little go cart down the street. Of course this was something he made by himself, using some wood he found. "Alright!"

"That's when we come to our main friend. A kid who loved to race with his friends. And he always won, because he was always the fastest."

Right now, he was having so much fun riding in his go kart on such a nice day. In fact, he was practically riding all day long (But don't worry, he stopped for lunch and bathroom breaks). Whether if he was back home in Enchancia, or in the Tooniverse (Where he is at right now) He really enjoyed to race and show off his awesome driving skills and tricks (At least when in the Tooniverse, since in that world, children can be able to drive even if they're not 16)

"By the time the sky became dark, the kid was riding down a scary forest... the same forest where the drag racer met his doom..."

And right now, the kid was having a hard time seeing where he was going. "Gee, I sure wish I had put lights on this cart..."

"Since the kid had a hard time seeing... he did not see the broken guard rails just up ahead."

Indeed it was true as he was heading straight for the same spot the killer fell, and he looked to be end up doing the same. He boy took out a flashlight and turned it on, "Brilliant. Now I can see-WHOA!"

He finally say the broken rails, and tried to slam on the breaks. But... it was too late. He ends up flying the kart and himself off the road and takes a big fall. James screamed all the way down... until his fall was broken by a soft bush. He sighed, he was safe. Though he couldn't say the same for his kart. For it hit the hard ground, and smashed to bits.

"Aw man..."

Now how is he going to get home? It's dark out, his kart's destroyed, and he has no idea where he was. As he looked around, he noticed something hiding within the trees. He looked closer, and saw that it was a car.

"Not just any car... the killers car. But the kid didn't know that, since he was unaware of the killer's existence.

He was amazed, especially with finding a car out in the woods. It looked very old, beat up, and a little damaged. Like as if it hasn't been used in years. He then had an idea... "Hmm... I'm sure nobody would mind if I borrowed this and took it for a ride. Just to get home."

He walks up to the car, and opens the door. He got in the seat and found the keys. Putting the keys into the ignition, he started up the car. Soon enough, he began to drive it. And it worked pretty well, even though it was old. That is, if it hadn't suddenly stalled up immediately after getting onto the road.

"Aw..."

Just his luck.

"The car had only stalled for a few minutes, as the kid tried to get it to work. And... well, he did."

Once it was working again, the car was positioned on the road. With the headlights shining straight down, as for James. He had a huge grin on his face as he slammed on the gas pedal and drove down the road, and hopefully out of the dark forest. But I'm sure you're wondering how he was able to reach the pedals? Well it wasn't by tying his feet to extra box for reach, since he didn't have any of that. Instead, the pedals were high enough for him to reach since the car was so old, they were bent out of shape, but in a good way.

Suddenly, James with the use of the headlights saw some u turns, and sharp bits of the road up ahead. This gave him a devilish idea. He slammed on the gas pedal and sped up.

"The kid decided that he was gonna have some fun before he returned home... some dangerous fun, but he knew what he was doing."

He was approaching the first sharp u turn fast, but kept going fast. Waiting for the right moment to make a move, once he was close enough, he made a sharp U turn. Soon he was approaching another one, only sharper than the last one. That's when he immediately slams on the break, then adjusts his right foot so his heel is pushing the gas at the same time. Upon pushing the clutch down, he shifts gears and makes a sharp right u turn.

"He was definitely having a lot of fun, even though he tried to be careful."

And so, James continued down the road, driving like a real drag racer could, because he was so good at it. If he could drive so well with a normal go cart, who knows how even better he can do on a real car."

Well since he was in a real car, he was getting a chance to find out how good he can really be.

"The kid continued to drive... and drive... and drive... until he had gotten tired. He decided to throw in the hat for the day, and was about to go home... until..."

He heard the sound of another engine, he turns around to see another car driving fast. Coming right towards the boy. James attempted to move out of his way, But instead, it drove up besides James. What could the driver want?

"Um... hi." James greeted.

"Yo kid. You got sweet driving skills, what's say you and I have a little race."

The prince had gotten excited about that, "A race! That sounds brilliant! Okay, you're on!"

"Perfect. Up ahead is our race course."

James looks ahead to see to his shock, a violently and dangerous looking area full of sharp, twisted, and broken up roads, dead trees, skeletons, and a lightning storm. At first, he was a little nervous about doing this. Which the driver noticed, "Oh what's the matter?! Someone feeling a little chicken? Bawk bawk bawk!"

"What? No! Of course not!" James defended. "I just think that might be a bit too dangerous."

The driver continued to make the mocking sounds of a chicken towards James.

"The kid didn't want to show this driver that he was afraid, because he wasn't. He wanted to show this guy that he could brave this forest... and dangerous road."

"Okay! You are on!" James exclaimed, revving up the engine. Boy was James mad now, but the driver just smirked, "This won't take long at all."

And so... the race began, as the driver immediately blind strikes James in the car, nearly rocking him off course. But James kept his balance as he was in the lead.

"But suddenly... it wouldn't be long... until the curse kicked in..."

As James drove faster and faster, he heard a sudden insane laughter in the air. "Huh?" Suddenly, he noticed that the car was beginning to glow, not only that, but he also heard a menacing voice, "At last, the day I have waited so long for has come."

"Who said that?" James asked timidly.

Suddenly, the car made a sudden hault... and then sped up again... as if... something was controlling it.

"And that curse finally kicked in, taking complete control of the car."

As for James, he was both confused and afraid, "What is going on?"

He had no idea what was happening, but he knew what he had to do right now.

"Gain control of the car, is what he thought he had to do."

Immediately wasting no time, he took hold of the steering wheel, and attempted to 'wrestle' with the car. He tried his hardest to gain control, while at the same time, ignore the sinister voice he was hearing. That's when he noticed the car was going so fast, it was making some pretty heavy bumps and swift turns, this now prompted James to also...

"Tighten his grip on the wheel, is what he did to try and get control, but it was proven to be very difficult... and it had gotten more scary..."

"Stupid child! You trying to stop the fun is starting to get really annoying!"

"Leave me alone!" James exclaimed.

James then began to repeatedly slam down on the breaks, but the car would just not stop at all. But he didn't care as he kept stomping while telling the spirit, "You won't control me that easily! Why don't you just go back to the spirit world where you belong?!"

"Boy, was he gonna regret saying that..."

"Control you?! Why not!" The spirit's green glow slowly appeared and shoots straight up James' nose. The boy coughed and yelled out.

"Now... he was possessed by the killer."

The boy looked slightly different, for his skin had turned a glowing green, and his face now had the eyes and look of the killer driver.

"Finally! I've got a body again!" He said, which was actually the killer's voice. "Time for me to pick up where I left off years ago!"

And pick up where he left off he did, as he sped down the road even faster, Catching up with the other drag racer who immediately spots him.

"Oh, so you're back for more punishment eh?"

"The killer smirked at the driver, knowing that this was going to be super easy for him."

With a tight grip on the wheel, and a wicked smirk on his face, he began to ram into the other driver, "Woah, hey! What do you think your doing?!"

The killer smirked at him, and that's when the racer realized that something was wrong, "Hold on?! That green glow, those bloodshot eyes, the wicked grin..." He gasped. "Oh no! Please tell me you're not who I think you are?!"

"The racer immediately knew who this was just by his looks..."

Meanwhile, within the possessed boy's mind, James had no idea what just happened. He then noticed he was surrounded in a ghoulish fog, within a dim lit area. He slowly rose to his feet and says to himself, "Where the heck am I?"

"You're in your mind you little brat."

"What? What did you do to me?"

"I decided that since you were trying to ruin my fun after so long. I've taken over both your mind and body, now you can only watch as I once again continue what I do best, kill others in drag races."

James was shocked, "But you can't do that! This is my body, I need it more than you do!"

"Not anymore."

James then looked up to see what looked like a screen. He then realized he was looking through the eyes of... himself. He was seeing everything the killer was seeing. And what he was seeing right now horrified him to no end. The killer was ramming into the other racer hard and brutally.

It looked like that killer was going to make the kill. James had to put a stop to this before it was too later... but how?

Suddenly, he had an idea...

"Mind control!"

He learned this sort of trick during magic class in school. "Mindus... Controllues!" He exclaimed.

He pretended to take control of the car... but he ended up really doing it... it worked! Now all he had to do was get rid of the spirit taking over his body. But even though he has control of the car, the killer spirit still has control of James' body. Something has to give...

That's when the boy noticed... the broken rails up ahead... what if he...?

That's when he had the idea of a lifetime.

"The kid knew it would be risky, but he knew it would be enough to save himself... and stop this deranged killer in the process."

He took a deep breath, and took hold of the imaginary steering wheel. As soon as he had gotten close to the rail, he made a sharp turn straight towards it, confusing the killer.

"What in the?"

But it was too late... for the killer that is. For James controlled the car to leap off of the cliff side... to the killer's doom once again. "NO! NOT AGAIN!"

"Oh yeah! Boom goes the cannon!" James cheered.

But that's when he remembered the killer spirit was still possessing James' body. Or... well, he was. For when the car crashed to the bottom, the spirit was forced to leave James' body as it was rather battered and bruised.

Thankfully by the time James was back in control, he was able to survive the fall. And he was relieved as well, this whole nightmare was over.

"The kid was relieved. He was hurt, but he survived. The killer was once again gone... and all was well. The racer from before thanked the kid for saving his life. And the kid promised to never drive so fast again... and he just decided to walk home..."

With that, the story ends as we go back into the real world. James smiled proudly for himself. He thought he told a very interesting and scary story. Everyone smiled, for they thought it was indeed scary, "Well, James, you sure made racing a lot scarier than it seems." Jake couldn't help but say.

James grinned, "Thanks, Jake."

Shawn had to agree, "Yeah. I thought it was a real good one. Right Cubby?" That's when he noticed Cubby wasn't around, "Uh.. Cubby?"

The small pirate boy came from under the couch, "I'm right here... that was a really scary story, James."

"Thanks, little buddy." James replied.

"Alright then, two stories down, who's next?" Peter asked.

Izzy raised her hand and spoke up, "Me! I have a story that will definitely be spook-tacular!"

Oooh...

Yeah, and next chapter, we'll get Izzy's story.

MC: That's right, let's see what she'll have in store.
