The Crew: A Street Racer's Journey

by Synergy2048

There's no category for "The Crew" So this is the closest one for now. A fan story following events between/after Ubisoft's The Crew follows a young driver, Jake Ryder with a crew of 5 going on a Journey around the United States of America while on a revenge mission to go after a driver from the 5-10 MC.

9. 4th Stage, South (Part 1)

Rewritten: 6/16/18

After capturing and interrogating the V6 there was no wait to head down South. Logan was using the remaining regions for his own gains involving the remaining factions, trying to resume on criminal networks and possibly growing a much larger syndicate than what the motorclub could possibly imagine. Jake, Dwayne and the rest of the Outcasted 5-10s had no idea this was going on, and the new V8 Alex Taylor couldn't do anything about it. It was unclear if they could ever shutdown the contraband in every state realizing this, all that mattered was shutting down most of the corruption within the motorclub at least in Dwayne's case by taking down Logan personally. Half of the country was retaken, but the 5-10 gang war still continues. As for Jake and his crew, their only goal was to climb the ranks in every region independently despite helping the Outcasts. Racing was still a way of settling issues, and it's the only way to seal the deal with their target before he rises more to power in the motorclub possibly becoming V8 himself. They rather drive than deal with more conflict in between the divided factions. They promised after this is done, they won't support anything that had to do with the 5-10s including Dwayne leaving the Outcasts to be on their own, not caring what happens until Logan is dealt with. They don't know what they'll do once they confront him.

For the past few days they traveled down to Florida making Miami their first city to conquer. The 5-10 faction that ruled the South, "The Crocodiles" knew they were coming, along with the 5-10 Outcasts. From day & night, stopping at gas stops and motels and going through more farmlands and humid forests, they eventually cross the state border into Florida. To Alicia as well as Grease it was familiar territory to them. Crossing through Jacksonville brought childhood memories to Grease including the same way he head down when he was younger. Alicia also recognizes certain roads she went through when leaving her state as it was now her turn to lead the crew to Miami. Jake always wanted to visit Miami for the race scene alone and was finally heading there. About 50 miles left till reaching city limits, they take the A1A highway close to the shore seeing the Atlantic Ocean. It seemed like the road went on forever but eventually they made it, taking now the 95 interstate. Alicia knew where she was going as the crew kept asking her, knowing a place they could stop at and a person she knew saying he was family. They reach her and Grease's hometown of Wynwood and found the shop she was looking for. All 5 drive inside as a person comes out to see them. It was Alicia's uncle as he recognized her and Grease's car, surprised to see them again.

Alicia immediately gets out of her car and runs to her uncle giving a big hug with Grease also greeting him. Soon after the Uncle also notices Jake, Dwayne, and Aaron, wondering who they were. Alicia explains saying they were only friends until uncle asked what happened to the other guys, talking about Logan's crew. All Alicia could say was that there were some "Complications" between her and Logan, only for uncle to wonder how she met the other three. Jake introduces himself as well as the others. However, Alicia eventually tells the truth about the old crew only for Dwayne to finish up asking for new upgrades in order to race at a meetup a week from today. Uncle looked disappointed at first to Alicia of what she got involved in; even if she was just his niece he was like a father to her, not wanting anything seriously bad happening to her despite illegal street racing. The crew needed to reach the west coast to settle something they said to the uncle. He then explains how the racing was here in the city including outside. The performance parts they were riding in will be no match for the racers in the areas, even Carson knew as he asked for upgrades as they met. The faction they were now facing were driving cars that ran over 1000HP, and with these upgrades being installed on cars like the crew was driving, they would put exotic cars to shame. For them they were at the right place; Alicia's shop was a street racer's hotspot for what they turn rides into performance spec monsters. Uncle would give them starting kits for free to Jake's crew, but not until he has them do a job for him first.

Uncle had a special job for them involving a delivery miles across town. He was almost due on the deadline and didn't have drivers to deliver them on time until now. Trusting that they have the driving experience to get the vehicles across town on time, he offers 2 of them to drive the 2 cars. They ask about what they were delivering as uncle walks towards two cars under sheets to reveal them as the crew was stunned of what they were. Both cars were retro Chevy Corvette Stingrays, a red C2 and a blue C3, completely modified in perf spec upgrades just waiting to be driven by their customer. For once in the crew, Dwayne had a big smile while looking at the classic cars, eyeing the C3 in excitement. For the C2 however, Jake volunteers to drive it, thinking he could now handle American Muscle already use to his Camaro, only this was retro and possibly a little harder to handle. The keys were given to them, but to Jake he was almost nervous to drive one of them. It was clear that Uncle does not want a single scratch on any of them for the customer, allowing D/J to drive them over with his trust in them. Grease and Aaron would come along to escort, while Alicia stays behind to aid her uncle for awhile, not seeing him for months. They start up the cars with the engine roars echoing around the shop while Dwayne continues to show joy sitting in the C3, something he hardly does around the crew until now. They speed out of the garage and head for the destination miles across the city.

This was no different to the delivery jobs back in the Midwest; the crew speeds down Miami roads almost taking a tour of the city in general. Jake tries to adapt to the handling of the C2, feeling more heavier than his Camaro when taking turns trying to initiate drifts on intersections. They try to avoid Miami police as much as they can but can't help to push the perf spec Corvettes to their limits. Their destination leads them across the Biscanye Bay and the beaches of the A1A highway until reaching their location in Golden Beach. There was definitely a tropical vibe going through the residential area surrounded by nice looking houses and palm trees that even Aaron would like to live at rather than the full urban jungle of New York City. They find the home where the customer was at, driving in the Corvettes through the gate and on the property. The customer was a street racer unsurprisingly, but had the wealth to own cars such as these. Jake/Dwayne made it without one scratch on both cars with the customer feeling happy of how they turned out. They received the check on the way out, calling Alicia through phone of their successful delivery and were heading back before sunset. Alicia made sure Uncle got the news and waited to reward them. The crew was now able to modify their cars to the next spec as Jake/Dwayne ride in Grease/Aaron's cars back, spend the rest of the week modding/tweaking in the shop and test driving around the Dodge Island Docks before the meetup.

As they came back, they received their starting kits for each car. Both exterior and performance upgrades were offered in the kits with other options for the crew to have in the shop but needed to buy them. With the money they had they bought extra pieces of components for the time being, only to possibly receive upgrades on jobs later on. The first day was just picking parts, as for the rest of the week they all get their hands dirty for each of their cars installing them. They take a certain time of day to head to Port Dodge to test their cars including makeshift time trial routes in the area. After completing a number of runs, they head back to the shop for tweaks with Jake and Grease doing most of the tweaking work requested by the rest for their cars. Day after day before the deadline they test/tweak with certain moment taking breaks by visiting downtown Miami and hanging out. On the last day they made the final fixes and last few runs back at the docks until all 5 were satisfied of the results for their rides. The Outcome, all their cars received a massive overhaul. Equipped with more functioning body kits, spoilers, racing tires and weight reduction, all their cars ((JR)Camaro 2015, (AS)370z, (DC)GT500 1967, (D"G"M)Focus RS 2014, (AC)Aventador) were finally perf spec machines. The amount of upgrades under their hoods made their cars barely street legal, not even an exotic car had this many upgrades. Both Alicia and Grease had engine overhauls now riding with 8 cylinders rather than 4 or 6. If it came to cops there was no catching up to them whatsoever. It was now race war day; 5-10 drivers including Outcasts were expected to meet at the Docks. Everyone was bringing their perf spec rides to the meetup, and Jake's crew was now ready for anything. They head down as the sun sets.

The crew makes it on time for the qualifier, but were surprise to see who the faction leader was. The V4 was one of Logan's drivers Jake faced back in LA, the Pagani Huayra driver, Vince Shaw. It appeared now that Logan wasn't the only one seeking to control a region, the rest of his crew had their own, minus Alicia not knowing about this either. As Vince began talking to the crowd of racers, he then notices Jake and everyone else. He was actually stunned seeing how Jake was not in jail, and now Jake was out to race him for the South. By now Jake's crew would get noticed which would now get them noticed by Logan himself. However, they wanted Logan to know they were coming for him at this point, confident they'll beat his drivers once again. Vince starts the qualifier anyway, hoping other 5-10 crews will beat them out of Miami.

A course was set around Dodge Island; once again the crew with the most wins for their faction gets to move on all over the south racing the 5-10 Crocs in the region. The racing proved faster to Jake and the rest going up against other perf spec drivers in the lineup. Even certain sections on a makeshift track were long straights, tempting racers to push their limits reaching below 200mph. It was so dangerous to push it that some drivers would wreck their vehicles unable to break on time on the turns. One driver manages to drive off the docks and into the bay with the driver swimming out. It was a tense race battle with once again Jake's crew becoming the victors of the qualifier, paying off their practice runs in the area. Vince wasn't worried of their win however. By now he threatens them of what comes ahead, stating the challenges/races are more difficult than what they faced in the East and Midwest. He expects them to fail around Florida as he soon drives off with crews from his faction leaving the other faction crews behind. The 5-10 Outcasts were off to enter the challenges in the city and outside, but it was Jake's crew to be the ones to race the first V2 controlling Miami, at least with their leader Dwayne riding along.

Progression: South

Southern Florida had a lot of challenges and races. The majority of them were favored for performance spec cars; races were all about top speed and setting the quickest times with specific routes just tempting drivers to drive fast and experiencing more risks that could end in disaster resulting in driving error. Most of the challenges were outside of the city, heading on highways into the everglades, marshes, and flatwoods. Dirt racing was also an option, but that meant for Jake's crew to now borrow dirt spec cars, unable to revert back to their last specs. The 5-10 Outcasts would provide them Dirt specs as well as Raid, but that was mostly used for sabotaging the drug runs organized by Logan's traffickers. With other crews helping out to chase down the traffickers and their drop-offs, they were an easy task for Jake's crew when called for in parts of Florida. They continue on to clear a number of challenges against the home faction in the state.

Most if the 5-10 Crocs had nothing to do with the drug trafficking in territories which was good news for Jake and the rest, but like the other regions there were some crews getting involved. Unsurprisingly, their target Vince was a part of the trafficking trade, and there was one moment where they did came across him on jobs. Jake & crew continue to not reveal themselves by wearing masks on jobs which could compromise their chances if Logan found out they were the ones sabotaging his business, refusing to race and rather have them all blacklisted by involved 5-10s. Vince would escape, but racing/beating him would be a sweeter goal and must if they wanted the Outcasts to take the region. As for the required challenges/races taking days to complete, they win enough to challenge the V2 back in Miami, heading back in the city limits.

The race against the V2 and his crew would take place crossing the Florida Keys starting from Homestead and finishing in Key West. It was the longest race Jake's crew had faced racing a V2 going on for less than 130 miles of road out in the ocean. In perf specs this could be a quick race than expected, taking half of the afternoon to finish. Both crews meet up in the center of town with a long straight highway leading out for miles to the ocean. On a green light they launch out on an intersection reaching over 200mph down the Southern Glades. Hardly there was traffic down the road giving the crews freedom to speed down and draft each other until reaching the ocean. Aaron leads having the fastest top speed and surprisingly gets ahead of the V2's crew while continue slipstreaming, taking advantage of the nitrous until redlining around 260mph. It was the fastest/dangerous top speed Jake's crew had gone, swerving by civilian cars like a jet doing a flyby pass. Surprisingly, they were hardly putting any stress on their cars but try to not push so much fearing one of them will blow an engine. However, Alicia felt something strange while redlining the engine hearing a small pop, only to ignore it but trying not to push it anymore. Eventually, they reach the ocean and drive down the highway to the keys. They slow down heading through the narrow bridges.

While still technically driving on land passing Key Largo and other keys, they were now out on the ocean still leading the opposing crew. There were still mostly straight roads ahead only to take turns here and there. Passing the Seven Mile Bridge was a great sight surrounded by clear waters just wondering when they'll reach the next island key. It was an hour in crossing Big Pine Key continuing on until reaching Key West. As they look back it seemed the other crew was way behind, remaining focus and keeping pace together. Nothing stops them from reaching the finish; it was an easy win to Jake and the rest taking Miami for the 5-10 Outcasts. They circle around the West Key and back out only to see the opposing crew in an upset as they head back to the mainland. They stop for gas including for food taking another 2 hours back to the shop. By this time it was almost sunset, painting a view for the crew of the beautiful tropical sun reflecting the sea only for them to stop at one of the key islands to watch the sun go down. They continue on a moment later, but something unfortunate happens along the way.

Alicia blows something down the road while pushing her car again to its limits, forcing the crew to stop and check what happened on the side of the road. Her car was smoking as she lifts the hood with smoke spewing on her face. Grease then comes to check the damage; some of the piston rings got overheated and one had burst, causing her to stop. While they couldn't confirm it, Grease had a feeling, even telling Alicia if she felt anything before, mentioning the pop while redlining down the Southern Glades. As expected, she cracked one of the piston rings, doing it again just now to where it had finally broke off, finishing it off by blowing a gasket and having oil leak in the cylinders. That was what Grease thought giving his prognosis, even seeing some damage done to one of the cylinder heads using a flashlight. Alicia gave too much stress to the new engine, though it was clear she had not redlined her car before not knowing the risks. Grease calls her uncle back at the shop for a towing, only for the other crew they beat to pass by and laugh at them. Jake's crew needed to keep moving, only for Alicia to ride along with Jake while Grease stays behind to look over the damage. It would take hours for him to wait for Uncle's tow truck, while the rest stay awhile at the shop and eventually stay at a motel waiting till the next day to check on the car.

Alicia's 370z Fairlady makes it back to the shop for inspection on the blown engine. The crew comes by for the news before heading off out of state to Louisiana, already planned out which two cities to conquer. They needed Alicia on the Journey but not without a vehicle; as they find out that the cylinder block had exploded proving Grease right, it would take a few days to order a new engine block which the crew didn't have time for. Alicia apologizes about the destroyed engine, but unfortunately for her she had no car to drive, leaving only her crew to finish up the South. There was nothing for her Uncle to do at this point, but Dwayne believed he had an Idea that would take them a few weeks to do it. The 5-10 Outcast had a stash of vehicles back in the East Coast that were once for the 5-10 Eagles in their captured HQ. Like the vehicle specs given to Jake's crew on the jobs, Dwayne would have one be delivered back to the shop to be upgraded, having the Outcasts pay for the upgrades. Thinking about Alicia though, it will be a car that'll suit her perfectly while still being fast and easy to control. Alicia still goes with them riding along with Jake, already forming a good relationship with him. Uncle expects the car to be delivered in less than a week, until now he gets back to work while saying another goodbye to his niece and former employee going out of state once again.

Already conquering a city in the Florida state, cities like Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville were not an option. The available cities to choose now from the South were Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, and Dallas. While New Orleans wasn't much a major city in the south it was a major territory for the 5-10 Crocs in Louisiana, and was where Jake's crew was heading for next. They stuck on the 75 & 10 interstate on the way west. It took them 2 days to get all the way over there, passing through more thick trees & fields as well as an orange field. Going cross northwest of Florida they finally see some of the infamous cotton fields only then to cross more thick trees and small towns until crossing the state border. The journey wasn't too exiting for the crew this time after seeing everything around Florida, they got so bored of driving to a point where they all play road games or stop for breaks with only a little to see. To Alicia it wasn't much fun without a car, yet still amused herself talking to Jake sitting aside, even chances to nap until reaching another gas stop for food or better sleep at a motel. After 800 miles and crossing the south tips of Alabama and Mississippi, they finally reach the border of Louisiana and right away drive into New Orleans, only to take a break from the day and check out the city. They wait the next day to start on the races/challenges around the state.

As always, they get down to business racing drivers around the state and take on speed records down the marsh and forest roads. In the city they raced their perf spec vehicles as well as outside. Dirt racing was also an option north of New Orleans like Bogue Chitto Park and forest areas across the Old Pearl River. The 5-10 Outcasts would lend dirt specs to Jake's crew and was one of the few times Alicia drove again using another vehicle. Duty calls also come from the Outcasts in the southern Bayous involving a raid on a meth lab deep in the swamplands ran by Logan's 5-10 traffickers. They use raid specs once again only they were ordered to chase after any escaping drug runners down the foggy swamps while other crews destroy the lab. Any runners Jake's crew stop and wreck were left to be dealt with by the Outcasts as they head back to racing in their own vehicles. Somehow Louisiana police found out about the raid as they also chase out Jake's crew from the bayou driving in off-road trucks. They escape down the road and into a nearby town as they leave the raid cars in a hiding spot and come out without getting attention by search patrols passing through. They get back to their cars moments later. Less than a day later they reach the number of races/challenges required and meet the New Orleans V2. The race they get into would be different than the races they ran against the other V2s from before.

This would almost become a relay race but with switching cars. For this crew race, the two crews will be driving provided vehicles going a lap around Lake Pontchartrain. They start out with street specs going around the city, heading to Big Branch Marsh to switch to dirt spec cars driving the dirt trails as well as paved. On the third half they will now switch to perf spec, going down the 55 Interstate or Old US 51 through Akers and Ruddock, heading back to New Orleans to where they started in French Quarter. This was a unique organized race to Jake's crew, testing their skills on the different specs in just one race. The interesting part was when the race starts they have to run to the cars they want to drive with the key inside, otherwise another driver could take one they wanted, forcing to switch to another. This goes the same with other specs down the road depending on which crew gets there first. Alicia would still stay with Jake on passenger seat as this was a 4 man crew race. On the start of go they run for the cars with Jake's side grabbing half the cars they wanted to race around the first half out of the city. After going through checkpoints in the city they finally race out of New Orleans and go 1/3 around the lake.

The V2's crew was ahead on the first half as they take the first 4 dirt spec cars waiting on the second half near Yester Oaks. Jake's crew quickly gets into the last 4 and rush themselves on the dirt roads and paved. It also didn't help that cops give chase on them again but took an advantage on the dirt as cops didn't have the right vehicles to take it and couldn't keep up enough to call in offroad units. They manage to catch up with the V2's crew as they begin to fight eachother to take front position. During the struggle, they were only a few miles away from the next setup, but as they continued to knock one another on the dirt, one of each spins out. Grease gets spun out by one of the opposing racers only for the racer to spin out as well. Both crews keep on going, hoping their drivers will catch up. They reach the perf spec vehicles on a dirt lot with half being exotics up for the taking. Jake's side lose out on some of the exotics but manage to get one taken by Jake & Alicia leaving one exotic and sport behind. Grease manages to get ahead of the driver who screwed him and was able to take the last exotic out and onto the highway of the last half of the race.

On the last half, each crew took different roads with the V2 having his drivers take the 55 interstate, while Jake's took the Old US 51 road alongside. Both roads lead back taking the 10 interstate back to New Orleans. Despite wanting to push, they needed their fallen back drivers to catch up, communicating with them on which road they took and to just floor it. Grease had an advantage taking an exotic (Ford GT 2005 perf) with a fast top speed and for the first time was driving an exotic car down a long road. He catches up with Jake and the rest while the other drivers on the opposite road pass the trees was few meters behind. Jake/Alicia who got into a Saleen S7 Twin Turbo perf spec now get together with the rest, drafting behind him doing the same thing they did back at the Keys race in Florida by slipstreaming. They had no idea if they were up front as the crew on the right side was doing the same tactic. They swerve around traffic like a snake, even flying by a parked cop using a speedometer as he gets knocked back by the force of the slipstreaming cars, even registering their speed going under 260mph. At a quick time they reach the 10 interstate going back to New Orleans and ahead of the V2's crew. They had the advantage from here on.

The V2 and the rest of his drivers begin to catch up but not enough to take a pass on all four as they reach French Quarter with Jake & crew winning the race once again. The opposing crew was left bitter as they were defeated by their own relay race with no choice but to give up Louisiana. The 5-10 Outcasts still dealt with drug trafficking of their own motorclub in the state and it was only getting more hands full down in Texas shipping product across the border to Mexico. One thing is certain yet again is that this would not go away anytime soon once the Outcasts takes over all of the US including the takedown on Logan in the West by Jake & crew. As for them there was still one more city to conquer until meeting with one of Logan's drivers on The Rush for the South, taking them back to Miami. They head to where the 5-10 Outcasts needed to go and that was Texas. There target city was Dallas, taking about two days of driving to reach their destination.

Jake's crew gets back to their cars and head further out west to the Lone Star State. With over 500 miles of driving it was at least 300 miles shorter this time than their journey out of Miami. Taking the 49 Interstate, somewhere down the line they face heavy traffic for once going through Alexandria with construction going on up ahead. Already it got dark as they left right after the crew race. Not wanting to deal with the jam, they get off to find rest at another motel including a bite at a restaurant this time instead of gas station food. As they had time now for conversation, they go over how they could take on the race challenges much quicker to get boosted attention of the Dallas V2 and eventually the V4, Vince. Using an app designed by the 5-10s, they choose the events right before hand with blips scattered around different counties close to Dallas and avoiding farther out races considering the size of the state. Meanwhile, they also check in on Alicia's replacement car back in Miami, talking to her uncle. The car was already there and still being customized, not telling her what car they got as her uncle wanted to surprise her until the crew heads back, hopefully after winning The Rush against Vince and the defeated V2s. After eats, they get some sleep at a nearby motel soon after.

The crew heads out on morning during foggy weather as traffic congestion eases going back on the interstate and passing the construction zone. The haze turns to sun a few hours down still passing by trees and now farms. The drive felt relaxing somehow to the crew with very little traffic, almost open road like they were alone together. Rather than just pushing, they just cruise along and enjoy the drive. They spark up a conversation on how this is what they want to do after everything is over with, just to drive freely anywhere in the country and exploring the landmarks. "The road will be our home" Jake says. Alicia responds sitting next to him, "We'll just drive forever, right? Perhaps we'll go to Europe someday or Asia like Japan, drive around there. Maybe a moment with just the two of us? Both look at each other. Jake responds with a smile, "We'll see."

Being this far on the journey driving for a couple of months, Jake & Alicia develop chemistry. Both love driving and share their struggles; while Jake had been through worst, he doesn't completely tell his story to her. Still, since their drive to the East Coast they hung out the most together out of there crew, even more than Grease who was Jake's new best friend and who apparently had an interest on Alicia before him. Alicia still rejects Grease and continues to stay only friends. As for Jake, while feeling like they're more than just partners/friends, they don't feel ready to tell how they feel about each other, hinting with one another. Moments later, they stop to rest after crossing the state border into Texas filling up their cars and their stomachs, stopping at Waskom.

With few more hours of driving transitioning from trees to tallgrass prairies, they reach Dallas Texas before sundown. But almost before heading into the city, they get a run in on a group of drivers with one leading in a familiar Pagani supercar. It was Vince, attempting to deter/threaten Jake and his crew from taking Texas as well as the South. To make them more uneasy, he even states that Logan was here in the region, leading elite drivers to protect the businesses being sabotage by the Outcasts bringing in firepower. Vince knew the 5-10 Outcasts were responsible, suspecting Jake as well as Dwayne being involved in jobs as well. He would have Logan to kill Jake and his friends and the rest of the Outcasts if he wanted, as well as overthrowing the V8 who let the Outcasts to part take on the faction war becoming a civil war to 5-10 crews supporting the trafficking businesses. Dwayne takes responsibility ordering the Outcasts anyway despite Logan knowing already. With no power to blacklist them, all Vince could do is hope for them to fail in races, driving off with others following behind him. It was clear to Jake that Vince is beginning to run scared coming this close to take the South. Logan was also being threatened as Outcasts continue to destroy his trade in the region, blaming Dwayne and eventually Jake for leading them despite other leaders (There own V6s) within the 5-10 Outcasts now calling the shots, making Dwayne just an Icon to them. For the next week they get down to racing in the area.

Being the biggest state of the South, there were hundreds of challenges that the crew could take. While mostly focusing in the city, they take on challenges out of city limits in the prairies also involving dirt. Going out there also brought attention from the crews of the 5-10 Outcasts once again for assistance by stopping 5-10 drug runners heading out to export while leaving out crates in the area for pickup. The time to strike was before sunrise; they get into raid specs once again and wait to pounce under darkness. Keeping lights off they spot the runners also in raids and drive out of the bushes to give chase. Other Outcasts crews were there to hunt as they stop the runners including interrogating them of their dropped off products. Sunlight was barely lighting the sky as Jake and his crew now using headlights went out to destroy the crates. Unfortunately, while doing so they also get hunted by hired drivers to protect the crates including buyers. They destroy most of the crates by running them over as they make their escape before the sun appears heading on the empty roads and fleeing the scene.

The racing, time trials, and challenges continue in the city of Dallas, while also dealing with more cops driving in Dodge Chargers going after them in every intersection. That was the risk the crew had to take going for a quicker path to race the Dallas V2. By this point they were use to being chased by police, even able to outrun in perf specs to where not even their chargers could keep up. Despite also dealing with police choppers and spike strip roadblocks, it was no match. This would give them more reputation on both sides of the 5-10s and are able to complete enough races/challenges faster than the other cities. As they prepare to meet the V2, something unexpected happens. Vince, the V4 of the south wanted to race them right away, bypassing a crew race against the V2. Vince couldn't stand them winning every race including battling the cops in the city at the same time. Logan's drug businesses in the southern states were also being shut down by the Outcasts as Logan himself wanted to stop them here, counting on Vince to end it by racing Jake's crew and crushing them on The Rush. The Rush for the South would be the longest race they'll run so far, starting tomorrow noon.

Vince and the defeated V2s aside from Dallas prepare to race Jake & crew including Dwayne on what was a 1300 mile race back to Miami, possibly a 3 to 4 day race including sleep and gas stops on the way. The V2s were given the best possible supercars to race while Vince still races his Huayra perf spec. 5-10 crews get around near an intersection somewhere in Downtown for the start of the race with this time the two crews starting on opposite sides while going down the same street on a green light. While holding up traffic, they immediately start before cops all over the city start showing up. Staring face to face with Jake and the rest in front of him on the other side, Vince vows that he'll reach his crew first to Miami for Logan, even if he has to push his crew over night without rest and be hundreds of miles ahead. Jake and his side will make sure that will not happen. The light turns green as both crews bump each other out of the intersection and down the same street heading out of Dallas. The Rush for the South begins.
