Chapter 1:Act 1:First Race.
Somewhere that represents a race track.
May was driving what appears to be a yellow car. It was short and had what appears to be a gun on top of it. The race track had a jungle theme. May was driving by a lot of ruined buildings. Their was also three other cars in the back of her with machine guns at the top. They started firing at May.
"This is kids stuff," May said as she pushed a button.
When she did something that represents a shield popped up all around her car and reflected the bullets. May then did the unthinkable. She then deactivated the shield and turned her car around, but was still driving forward! She then pressed a button. Just then the gun changed into what appears to be a rocket. She then pressed the button again and the rocket launched right at one of the black cars. It exploded at impact.
"To easy," May said as she spun her car forward.
One of the black cars exploded and the other two cars went spiraling the other direction. The two cars then exploded upon impact. At the stands, the cloaked figure watched as May zoom toward the finish line. He then looked at his watch.
"Two minutes and 50 seconds. Not bad," he said.
It has been a week since the cloaked figure gathered up his racing team. They've been practicing on the jungle theme track for a week now, and it appears that they have been making progress. May got out of her vehicle and went to the cloaked figure.
"This race is gonna be to easy," May said.
"Trust me, the race is going to be harder then this," the man said.
"Yeah, sure it is," May said.
Just then Terrance went to May.
"That was nice racing May," the boy said.
"Ah well, I try," May said as they both look at each other in the eyes.
"Well, now that we're done training, everyone is ready," the cloak figure said. "The opening is today. I expect everyone to be there."
The cloak figure then walked off.
"He's serious," May said.
"Yeah..." Terrance said...
Somewhere in another racing track.
Edd was driving a red car with black stripes on it. The car was long, but looked kind of weak. Edd was driving in a jungle them track to. Their was two black cars that were moving without a driver. One of them looked tough while the others looked fast. Edd pressed a button.
"Scanning for weak points," a computerized voice said as a screen popped up in his car.
The screen was green and was locking on to the two cars.
"Weakness:The tire in car one is very weak, while the engines on car two are weak," a computerized voice said.
"Okay," Edd said as he pressed another button.
This time a rocket appeared on top of Edd's car. He then pressed another button and the rocket locked on to one of the black cars tire. He then pressed another button and the rocket launched. It hit the target dead on. The tire then exploded and the car swerved like crazy, hitting the wall and exploding on impact.
"One down, one to go," Edd said as he pressed another button and a machine gun appeared on top of Edd's car. Edd then locked on to the back of the engines at the other black car. He then pressed another button and the machine guns started shooting like crazy. Once the bullets hit the back of the engine, the car exploded into debris. Edd then crossed the finish line.
"Nice racing Double D!" Ed said from the stands.
"That was just practice. The first real race is today," Josh said. "And it's going to get tougher then this."
"Well this whole team has been practicing for a week," Eddy said. "I think everyone's ready!"
"Yeah. Everyone on the team made great progress," Josh said.
He then looked at his watch.
"It's almost time for the opening."
Edd then got out of the car and went up to the stands and went to Josh.
"Shall we go to the opening ceremony then?" Edd said.
"Sure," Josh said.
"Man. To think that a week ago we didn't know how to drive. But now were competing in a race to save the world!" Eddy said.
"Yeah. It took me by surprise to Eddy," Edd said.
"Well, let's get going to the opening," Josh said as Ed, Edd, and Eddy went to the opening...
Opening, Haven City Stadium...
"Ladies and Gentleman, are you ready for the racing event of the century?" the announcer said.
The fans roared with excitement. Their were at least a million people in that stadium, ready for the first races to begin. At the stands, Josh's racing team were watching from above.
"Wow! Look at all these people!" Freakazoid said looking at the million's of fans.
"I never thought they would be so many people," leader of the PowerPuff Girls said.
"Well I've done some digging and appears that a lot of people put a lot of money on this competition," Josh said.
"You mean illegal betting?" Edd said.
"Yeah," Josh said.
"This year will be more exciting then the last, as new challengers will come and compete for the DEATHRACE trophy!" the announcer said with energy.
The fans again roared with excitement.
"It's to loud here!" Dee Dee complained.
"Then why did you come here in the first place?" Dexter said.
"Because it sounded fun silly," Dee Dee said.
As the announcer kept talking and the fans kept roaring with excitement, a familiar pact known to the Eds walked up to them.
"Love bumpkins? What are you doing here?" Marie said.
"Kankers!" Eddy said.
"Well, well, well, we meet again," Lee said.
"Why are you girls competing in a dangerous race such as this?" Edd said.
"Because you three are gonna be our kings when we rule the world with the Paramount Emerald," May said.
"You idiot. We weren't supposed to talk about that!" Lee said.
"Their is no need. We already know about the Paramount Emerald," Edd said.
"So that's what you want to do with it? Rule the world and for us to become your king? Never!" Eddy said.
"Oh it's gonna happen once we win this competition," Lee said evilly.
"I can't wait Double D. Your gonna make a good king," Marie said.
"Well you won't be saying that when we win this competition!" Eddy exclaimed.
"We'll see. Just get ready to bow by your queens," Lee said as the Kanker sisters walked off laughing.
"I hate those Kankers," Eddy said.
"We must not let them get away with this!" Edd said.
"And we won't," Josh said.
"Man, those girls are more evil then Mandy!" Numbuh One said. "And that's evil!"
After the opening Josh's team went back to 1901 Haven City Building in that comfy room, waiting for the first race to be announced.
"Isn't this exciting Mandy? We're actually going to save the world again!" Billy exclaimed.
"What else is new?" Mandy said.
Don't be scared Billy. Now is the time to tell Mandy how you feel, Billy thought.
"Um, Mandy-" Billy began when he turned around t o face Mandy. But she was gone.
"Mandy?" Billy said looking around for her.
She was with Numbuh One.
"Look here Mandy, we should put our past behind us and work together, for the sake of the world," Numbuh One said.
"No. Once this whole business is finished, I'll take over the KND again," Mandy said evilly as she walked away.
"Well that went well," Numbuh Two said sarcastically.
Samurai Jack was looking at Josh again.
Okay, he thought.
He went up to Josh.
"Excuse me Josh-" he began.
"I know what your going to say," Josh said. "But you can't stay here. Your going to go back."
"But isn't their a way?" Jack said.
"No, I'm sorry," Josh said sadly.
Jack then walked sadly to one of the chairs. The Eds were watching TV. The channel was on the sports channel with the DEATHRACE logo. The announcer was talking about what happened last season.
"It looks like things are serious," Dexter said. "With this whole Paramount Emerald thing."
"And that's why we have to get it," Edd said.
"Yes. You are right comrade," Dexter said.
Dexter and Edd formed a friendship during the past week. Just then the door opened and the announcer came in.
"I've heard we've got a new racing team this year, and by the looks of it..." Everyone's attention was on the announcer,"...your all going to die," he said simply.
"What are you talking about bub?" Buttercup said.
"You guys don't look so tough. It looks we'll be having more body bags if we have rookies like you," the announcer said laughing.
Everyone else in the room was not.
"That was a joke," the announcer said.
"Well it wasn't funny," Blossom said.
"I came here to tell you guys that the first races will start soon. Who's your leader?" the announcer said,
"I am," Josh said. "I already know where the starting gates are."
"Good. Well, see you their in body bags," the announcer said as he began to walk.
"Wait. I thought you were supposed to interview us?" Josh said.
"Yeah, but what's the point if your gonna die anyway?" the announcer said as he walked of laughing.
"I don't like that guy," Freakazoid said.
"Me neither," Cosgrove said with no energy.
"All right everyone, let me tell you how this is gonna work. There are separate tracks and separate races. I assigned everyone a race," Josh said as he pointed to a board on the wall with numbers and names. "Those numbers are gate numbers and the track that your gonna race on."
Everyone in the room looked at the wall and remembered their destinations.
"So is everyone ready?" Josh said.
Everyone in the room nodded...
In 2100 Haven City Building...
Everyone in the room was ready for their race. They were assigned races and gate numbers.
"I can't wait to squash anyone who gets in my way!" Terrance said.
"Yes this should prove easy since it's the first race," Lobe said.
"Alright then everyone, go to your gate number," the cloaked figure said.
The villains went out the door and to their designed race track. The cloaked figure smiled.
Things are going to be different this year," the cloaked figure thought...
Gate and Track Number 23...
Edd was at gate number 23, ready for the first race of his season.
No pressure Edd, he thought.
"Ladies and gentleman, get ready for one of the first races of the season!" another announcer said.
Edd could hear the crowd roar with excitement.
I guess that's my cue, Edd thought as he drove to the starting line.
When he did he saw a camera panned around the track. There were other drivers too, about five more of them. Edd looked at the race track in front of him. The race track had a lot of ruined buildings, as Ed could see in front of him. The road also had sand. The track looked pretty much like a ruined city. Edd also got a look at the other five drivers. Two of them were robot droids.
Those must be the robot droids that Jack was talking about, Edd thought.
"Alright racers, are you ready?" the announcer said with energy.
In response, everyone rev their engines. Then a red light shined in front of the racers...
The light hit yellow. The racers rev their engines more...
Then the light hit green, and the racers were on the go. The stands were somewhere beyond the track, and the fans started to cheer...
Edd was driving fast, but not as fast as the robot droids. They were up ahead, in first and second place, while another driver with red hair was in third. Edd so far was in fourth. The drivers started driving towards a wall that separated two paths. Edd and the robot droids took the first one, while the other drivers took the second.
"Droid number 210, release the oil slick," one of the robot droids said.
The robot named droid number 210 pressed a button. Then at the back of his car a hole opened and oil came out.
Oh dear! Edd thought as he turned swerved his car out of the way of the oil slick, nearly hitting the wall. Thanks to this when the drivers got through zipping through the wall separating two paths, Edd was now in fifth.
Shoot! Edd thought.
"It looks like one of the drivers released oil slick in the back of his car, causing the driver behind him to take a shot at fifth place!" the announcer said.
The drivers then continued racing through ancient ruins. Then a cave came up.
"The racers are now entering the cave!" the announcer said.
A cave? Edd thought.
The drivers then started zipping inside a cave. Edd got a good look at the robot droids car. They were both the same. They were black, long, and looked tough. Their were machine guns on top of them.
Luckily my car can look at weak points, Edd thought as he pressed a button.
"Scanning for weak points," a computerized voice said. A green screen on Edd's car was then scanning weak points to a driver with a red car in front of him. "Weak points:The hood on the car is made of sensible glass, can easily break."
Edd then pressed another button and a machine gun popped on top of his car. He then pressed and hold another button and started firing at the hooded glass.
I regret violence, but I have no choice, Edd thought.
After a few bullets the glass broke, causing the driver to get distracted and swerved to the right, barely hitting the wall in the cave. Edd then passed the driver up. He was now in fourth.
"Wow! It looks like the rookie made a stunning move, distracting the driver, for a shot at fourth!" the announcer said.
The crowd was surprised. A rookie wouldn't make a move like that. Back at the track the drivers zoomed out of the cave and into a ramp.
A ramp? Looks like I've got no other choice but to jump it! Edd thought as he jumped the ramp. He was in the air for a few minutes and landed back on the ground.
"That kid just doesn't know when to give up, doesn't he?" droid number 210 said. "Well I've got something for him."
The robot then pressed a button and and hole opened in the back of it's car again. Then an electrical orb shot out from it!
"What this? I've never seen anything like that!" the announcer said.
The electrical orb then zoomed to one of the other drivers.
"What the he-" he didn't have time to finish his sentence as the orb impacted right on the drivers car and exploded.
"Ooh! He's coming home in a body bag!" the announcer stated.
The orb then zoomed to Edd's car.
Oh my! Edd thought.
He tried to turn and get out of the way, but it was hopeless. He then got an idea. Before the orb impacted at Edd's car, he pressed a button and a rocket appeared on top of his car. He then pressed another button and the rocket zoomed towards the orb and impacted. The result was a massive explosion. Edd barely got out of it alive.
"Amazing ladies and gentleman. It appears that the rookie made another surprising move!" the announcer said.
The fans started to cheer. The drivers then zoomed to what appears to be a beach scenery. On it Edd was now in third place, with the robot droids in front of him.
"Time to scan for a weak point," Edd said as he pressed a button.
"Scanning weak points," a computerized voice said.
The green screen appeared again, scanning for weak points.
"That kid is starting to get on my nerves," droid number 210 said.
"You don't have nerves. Your a robot," the other droid said.
"Shut up number 560," 210 said. "Time to get the big guns."
"Weak points:the exhaustion pipe on the back of the car is very weak to fire ," the computerized voice said.
"I don't have any weapons with fire. And I already used my rocket!" Edd said.
Just then the drivers zoomed past the beach scenery and into a part where the fans were watching from the stands. The fans were cheering like crazy. When the drivers zoomed past that, they were heading into another cave, but this time the cave had glass on the inner walls.
"Time to unleash the big gun," number 210 said.
And he was right. He pushed a button and a big gun popped on top of his car.
"What in the world is that?" Edd said.
Edd then pressed a button and the computer scanned the big gun.
"Target:the gun is a laser, that can shoot out a big laser in a 50 km radius," the computerized voice said.
"That's not good," Edd said. "I won't be able to avoid that! What can I do?"
Edd then slammed his fist on one of his buttons that he didn't know he had, and a video popped up on the screen.
"Huh?" Edd said.
On the video, Dexter appeared.
"Double D, because we're friends I decided to add an extra upgrade to your car. I call it the "Upper Wheels." If you press the button again your wheels will go up. With this upgrade, you can avoid anything that comes in front of you or in back of you. Although you can only use it one time, because it's not complete. Good luck!" Dexter said as the video ended.
I could use this to avoid the laser! Edd thought.
"Fire!" 210 said as he pressed a button.
The gun on top of his car fired a huge laser that looks impossible to avoid.
"With this, we can eliminate anything from behind us," the robot said.
"Now!" Edd said as he pushed the same button again.
Just then the wheels started to go up(If you ever seen Seed Racer this is the same move that the Mach 5 does) and the laser went right through the legs of Edd's car. The other driver behind him wasn't so lucky. It took the full impact and exploded.
"Another body bag for the count!" the announcer said. "And it looks like the rookie has done it yet again!"
The fans started to cheer like crazy. Edd pressed the button again and his wheel were back to normal.
That was close, Edd thought.
The drivers then zoomed out of the glass cave. Now two drivers were eliminated, and Edd was still in third, behind the two robot droids.
"I can't believe this kid!" 210 said angry. "He just doesn't quit!"
The drivers were now on a bridge.
"I've got to get rid of those two robots in front of me, but how?" Edd said.
"Hey 210! It looks like the kid in the back of us can only use that move once with the wheels!" 560 said.
"Good. Then when the laser recharges, it will definitely hit him this time!" the robot said.
"Computer, scan the black car again," Edd said to the computer.
"Scanning," the computerized voice said. "Danger! Danger! The car's laser is recharging!"
"Oh no! Dexter said I could only use the Upper Wheels once!" Edd said.
Once the driver got through crossing the bridge, they were now driving in ancient ruins again.
"The finish line is close ladies and gentleman! And it looks like the first three cars are speeding up!" the announcer said.
The three drivers, Edd and the two robot droids, kept driving at fast speeds. The announcer was right. The finish line is close, as Edd could see it.
"Yes! The lasers done recharging! Now to blow that kid all the way to hell!" 210 said as he pressed a button and the big gun popped up on top of the car.
"I must scan for a weak point at the laser, and fast!" Edd said as he pressed a button.
"Scanning for weak points," the computerized voice said. After a while it said, "If the hole in the gun is clogged up, then the gun will explode."
"Then I must plug up the gun! But the only way I can do that if is I had a rocket, and I already used it!" Edd said. "What can I do?"
Just when Edd thought all hope was lost, another video popped up in his screen. Dexter was on it.
"Oh Edd, before I forget, I've also installed what I call a diversion. With it you can create a hologram that looks exactly like your car. But unlike a regular hologram, it can touch anything solid. Good luck!" Dexter said as the video stopped.
"I can use this to my advantage!" Edd said, popping up an idea.
Edd then looked around for a button that might say hologram, and their was. He pressed it. Then the unthinkable happened. Edd's car split into two! Only the other half looked exactly like Edd's real car.
"I can't believe that something like this can be built!" Edd said.
Edd then started putting the pedal to the metal. The other car followed to.
"Hologram, I want you to stay behind the car with the big gun on top," Edd commanded.
The hologram did just that.
"What the...theirs two of them?" 210 said. "Just what kind of trick is this?"
The robot saw that the hologram was behind them, while the real car was in between both cars.
"560, use the rocket and aim at the car in between us, while I use the laser on the one behind me," 210 said.
560 agreed and pressed a button that made a rocket pop up.
"Fire!" 560 said as it unleashed a rocket.
Now, Edd thought.
Edd then put his foot on the brakes and began to slow down, while the rocket was right in front of him.
"Fire!" 210 said as he pressed the button to his laser.
Before the laser could fire, the hologram move out of the way. The real Edd was now behind the laser. Edd looked back.
"Good, the rocket is still following me," Edd said as he got up more to the laser gun. "Just a little more...NOW!"
Edd then steered the steering wheel like crazy to the left, and was not behind the laser anymore.
"Just what in the...Oh my goodness!," 210 said finally figuring it out.
Before the laser could fire, the rocket that was following Edd went straight inside the hole of the laser gun.
"Success!" Edd said. "I knew the rocket would keep following me, trying to reach it's target. If I timed it right, the rocket would keep following me. So I drove up to the laser cannon and lead the rocket their."
Edd then pressed a button and the hologram merged back into Edd's car.
"Also using my hologram as a diversion," Edd said.
The laser cannon then started to go haywire, until it exploded. The other car beside of it shared the impact as well. Both of the cars exploded, and Edd was now in first place. The finish line was right in front of him. He then zoomed crossed it.
"I can't believe what I am seeing. The rookie won!" the announcer said.
Some of the fans were in awe that a rookie won the race, while some fans cheered like crazy. Edd then got out of the car.
"Whew," he said. "Made it by an inch."
As the fans kept cheering, the announcer approached Edd.
"That was big flashy win. You even surprised me lad! What's your name?" he said.
"Edd, but people call me Double D," Edd said.
The fans then started to cheer: "Double D! Double D! Double D!"
Edd blushed...
In 2100 Haven City Building...
The cloaked figure was watching a bunch of races on a TV monitor. One race in particular was a boy named Edd, winning his first race. The figure smiled evilly...
