Chapter 2:Act 1:Freeze Rally Challenge.
In 2100 Haven City Building...
All the racers just got through from their first race or challenge, with smile on their faces.
"That was to easy. Do they offer anything more challenging?" Lee said.
"I agree with the girl. That DEATHMATCH was kids stuff, and I hate kids," Father said.
"Oh trust me, it will get worse," the cloaked figure said. "I've seen all your races and challenges, and you all did splendidly. Your way better then my former racing team."
"I guess your former racing team were pretty ugly racers," Duchess said, taking a seat in one of the chairs.
"And you, lady, are just plain ugly," Marie said laughing.
"Why you little..." Duchess began to say but was interrupted by the cloaked figure.
"Anyway, I have some interesting news," he said. "It appears that a certain racing tream is trying really hard to win the competition."
"Of course. Every racing team and individuals are trying to win one million dollars here," Mojo said. "And it appears that a lot of people have money on this thing."
"Yes, illegal betting," the cloaked figure said. "With that said, a lot of people are hiring top drivers to race in order to get rid of the competition."
"So are you telling me that this is going to get harder?" Katz said.
The cloak figure nodded.
"So who is this here racin team?" Fuzzy said.
"This particular racing team was hired by a CIA individual," the cloaked figure said. "And it appears he knows of the Paramount Emeralds power, and is also aware of us competing for it."
"So...is that a good thing?" Terrance said dumbly.
"No you fool, it's a bad thing," Father said. "If the CIA are involved with this, then it could mean serious trouble for us. But what I don't understand is why didn't the CIA confiscate the emerald if they know it's powers."
"Because I hired an underground gang to work for the DEATHRACE staff to make some "copyright issues" that not even the CIA can crack," the cloaked figure explain. "So he's decided to hire drivers that all of you know to race and win."
"Wait. People who know us?" Carl asked.
"Yes. He did that because he figured that they would know your weaknesses," the cloaked figure said.
Then that means Johnny's here, that jerk, Carl thought.
"Now that you mention it, we saw our boyfriends at the opening ceremony," Marie said.
"Well this CIA guy must be dumb. There is now way we're losing to our enemies," Fuzzy said.
"Good. That's what I like to hear," the cloaked figure said. "Now rest up for tomorrows challenge."
"Hey, just who are you? And how do you know all this information?" Lobe asked.
"You'll find that out in good time," the cloaked figure said.
With that said everybody left to their rooms and waited for tomorrows challenge. The cloaked figure had an evil smile on his face.
Who am I? Well, you'll just have to wait and see, he thought...
The next day, in 1901 Haven City Building...
Everyone in the comfy room was still talking about their success in yesterdays racing and challenge.
"So Double D, what did you did yesterday?" Eddy asked.
"Just a normal race," Edd said.
"Me to. You should have seen me Double D, all the girls were cheering for me," Eddy said.
"I'm sure they did Eddy," Edd said with no energy.
"Oh you don't believe me? Well then wait till I show you all the digits I got!" Eddy said.
"What was your challenge Ed?" Edd said.
"It was a DEATHMATCH," Ed said. "And I got to tell you Double D, it was hard."
"How so Ed?" Eddy said.
"Well, before the match I had this wedgie, and when the match started I kept trying to dig it out, and..."
"I...I don't want to hear the rest Ed," Eddy interrupted.
Just then Johnny came up to the three Eds.
"Yo Eddy," Johnny said.
"Hey. Have you guys met Johnny. He's cool. He can get all the babes he want," Eddy said.
"Really?" Edd said, looking at the man with a black shirt and sunglasses.
"Of course. Have you seen my biceps?" Johnny said, flexing his muscles in a cartoon fashion.
The three Eds looked at him awkwardly.
"Why do you sound like a cheap imitation of Elvis Presley?" Ed said.
Before Johnny could say anything, Josh came in.
"Great work everyone. It looks like that week of training paid off," he said.
"Yeah well, it was nothin," Numbuh Two said.
"It was fairly easy," Mandy said.
"Yeah, but before the race I had this wedgie that I tried to get out," Billy said.
"That happened to you to?" Ed said.
"Get out of here! That happened to me to!" Freakazoid said.
Everybody but the three who just said they had a wedgie slapped their hands on their foreheads.
"Anyway, the next challenges are starting soon," Josh said.
"Well before we start, I've got a few questions," Mac said. "First of all, a week ago you said that their was some criminal who hired a racing team to use the Paramount Emerald for evil, right?"
"Why, yes I did," Josh said.
"Well then who is this villain?" Bloo said.
"I don't know much about him, only that he stole some documents from the CIA," Josh said.
"What was he looking for?" Numbuh Five said.
"He was looking for information on the emerald. The CIA caught him red handed, but soon after he escaped with the documents," Josh said.
"And how do you know if he's gonna use the emerald for evil?" Freakazoid said.
"Because I was given a job from the boss to find out what he was up to. I managed to find him after a lot of time searching. I then found out that he wants to use the emerald for some kind of weapon," Josh said.
"What kind of weapon?" Cosgrove asked.
"I don't know. The way I see it, this guy must be a terrorist," Josh said.
"What's his name," Jack asked.
"I don't know. I don't even know what the guy looks like," Josh said. "He wears a cloak around his body."
Just then the same announcer that was teasing the racing team yesterday walked through the door.
"Well hello everybody!" he said as he looked around the room. "What a surprise. None of you are dead yet."
"Of course not!" Buttercup said. "It was easy!"
"Oh, that was just the beginning. It gets a lot worse from here," the announcer said. "By the way, the name's Blitz."
"Well then Blitz, what can we do for you?" Josh said.
"I came here to interview a certain racer among your group, which happenes to be the kid with the sock on his head," Blitz said.
"Me?" Edd said.
"Yes, you. Unlike all these rookies in here, you've got some talent kid. Even I was impressed," Blitz said.
Everyone's eyes were on Edd.
"You were that good Double D?" Dexter said.
"Yes, thanks to your extra upgrades to my car," Edd said.
"Well, looks like the camera's coming in," Blitz said as the camera man came in.
"And we're live in five, four ,three..."
Just then a red light shined on the camera.
"Good evening ladies and gentleman. Boy it's only the start of the season and the body bags are just piling up like crazy! As I said ladies and gentleman, their would be a whole lot new surprises and new thrills! Speaking of surprises a new rookie pulled of moves that even I was surprise! Ladies and gentleman, here is Edd!" Blitz said as the camera pointed to Edd.
Edd blushed. He was obliviously camera shy.
"Um...hi," Edd said nervously.
"So young man, what was it like on your first race. Were you scared?" Blitz said in a mocking tone.
Edd just blushed some more. Eddy then stepped in.
"Hey, give the guy a break!" Eddy said.
"I'll just take that as a no or no comment," Blitz said. "So tell me man, how old are you?"
"14," Edd said said.
"Well, how in the world someone who doesn't even have a driver's license pulled off those awesome moves you did yesterday?" Blitz asked.
"Well, it took a lot of practice. And it really wasn't that hard," Edd explained.
"Oh trust me, the competition's just getting started! Any final words before the next challenge?" Blitz said.
"Yes well, I just hope that everyone does their best and-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now let's take it down the greaser in pit row!" Blitz said as the camera turned off.
"Hey, that was rude!" Edd said.
"Oh well, couldn't have you bore the fans out their. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some real interviews to do," Blitz said as he walked off.
"That guy is really rude!" Edd said.
"Yeah! Just wait till I got my hand on that little..." Eddy said interrupted.
"Anyway, the next challenge is starting soon, I've already assigned your gate numbers on the board over their," Josh said, pointing to the same board as yesterday.
"Just how soon?" Eddy said, anxious.
"In three minutes," Josh said.
"Oh, well then I gotta hurry," the short Ed said as he went to the board.
Everyone else did the same.
"Alright! Gate number 23, my lucky number!" Johnny said.
"Good luck everyone," Josh said as everybody prepared for their challenges...
At Gate Number 23...
Johnny Bravo's challenge was simple:to race around the track and cross the finish line before the allotted time. Also on the track will be things called "Freeze Buttons." While Johnny is driving their will be buttons on the track, and when Johnny drives to it, the time will stop for a certain amount of time.
This is gonna be cakewalk. I can't wait till the babes see me driving as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog, Johnny thought.
"Ladies and gentleman, today we will test one's speed and see if he can make it in the allotted time!" an announcer said.
Johnny could hear the fans scream.
I guess that's my cue, Johnny thought as the gate opened.
He drove to the starting line. Once he got their the girls started to cheer for Johnny like crazy.
"Thank you, thank you very much," Johnny said in his usual Elvis tone.
"Today's driver will be, Johnny Bravo!" the announcer said with energy.
The fans, especially the girls, started to cheer for him. Johnny's car looked pretty basic. The colors was black with yellow stripes, medium sized, and had a strong looking engined. Also Johnny doesn't have any frontal weapons on his car. Instead, he had rear weapons that goes out in the back. Either way, Johnny didn't need any weapons for this challenge. Also, the track was the same track Edd was on.
"Alright racer, are you ready?" the announcer said with lots of energy.
"Of course!" Johnny said.
Just then a light in front of Johnny's car turned red. Just then Johnny looked out into the audience and had a surprised look on his face. In the crowd, he could see his nerdy friend, Carl, in the stands.
What's that nerd doing here? Johnny thought.
Then the light turned yellow. Johnny started to rev his engine, focusing back on the challenge...
And then the light turned green, and Johnny was on the go. The fans started to cheer. The allotted time was 2:20:00. After Johnny crossed the starting line, Carl was smiling evilly. He's race hasn't started yet.
While I wait for my race to start, I'll make sure Johnny doesn't win this challenge, he thought.
Johnny zoomed to the wall that separated two paths. Johnny went to the first, as he saw a button on the path. He then zoomed past it and the clock stopped for five seconds. He then saw another button on the path and zoomed past that one. The clock then stopped for two more seconds. The fans started to cheer.
This is to easy! They could have come up with something more challenging, Johnny thought.
The clock then started again. While Johnny was racing out of the path, Carl went to the other side of the stands, where a cave was close. He was carrying a bucket of sticky substance. Once he got to the entrance to the cave, Carl dumped all the sticky to the entrance and got away from the entrance to the cave. Once Johnny got to the entrance to the cave, he saw the sticky substance.
What's that stuff? Johnny thought in his head.
When he zoomed towards the entrance to the cave, his wheel wouldn't move! He pressed on the gas pedal as hard as he can, but was still stuck.
"What's this ladies and gentleman? It appears that Johnny has got himself in a sticky situation!" the announcer said.
The fans were silent. Johnny looked at the clock on the big screen where everyone can see it. The time was now 1:80:02. He kept on pressing on the gas pedal, but was still stuck. The fans were still silent.
"How in the world will Johnny get out of this?"
How in the world will I get out of this? Johnny thought.
He was stuck for five minutes. The clock was now 1:75:34, and still counting.
Think Johnny think! Johnny thought in his head.
He then thought of an idea. Johnny had rear weapons that would go through the back. One of the rear weapons was a burst of fire that would get rid of everything in the back. It was also powerful. He pressed a button and a burst of flames came from the back of his car. The burst was so powerful that Johnny escaped from the sticky substance and went into the cave. The fans started to cheer.
"It looks like Johnny managed to escape, and is driving faster then ever!" the announcer said.
Of course I'm driving faster, that sticky stuff wasted some of my time! Johnny thought as he zoomed in the cave like crazy.
The time was now 1:65:00. Once he zoomed out of the cave he saw a button on the track. He zoomed past it and the clock stopped for 10 seconds. The fans started to cheer, except for one person, which was Carl.
So he managed to get away from the sticky stuff ey? Well, I've got something else for him, Carl thought.
Meanwhile the clock started up again, as Johnny jumped at the ramp and was now at the beach scenery, driving as fast as he can. He looked at the clock. It was now 1:60:00.
I need to find another button, and fast! Johnny thought.
Johnny then zoomed out of the beach scenery. He was now headed into the part where the fans were watching from the stands. The fans were cheering for Johnny, especially the girls. This made Carl mad.
How come Johnny gets all the attention that no good... Carl thought.
On Carl's back he was carrying a back pack. He was digging in it and found a bunch of spikes.
I'll use this to teach that jerk a lesson.
Johnny then zoomed out of the stands and went to the cave with glass on the inner walls. Johnny then saw a button and zoomed past it. The clock stopped for another 10 seconds. The fans cheered again. While the fans were cheering, Carl went to the other side of the crowd and with sharp spikes in his hand.
Let's see how you drive fancy without your tires! Carl though as he tossed the shiny spikes on the track.
When Johnny zoomed out of the cave, he saw spikes on the track.
Holy moly! Johnny thought as he stepped on the brakes.
But it was to late as the car zoomed right past the spikes, and a big bang could be heard. All of Johnny's tires caught a flat.
Oh no! Johnny thought.
His tires stopped rolling as Johnny's car jolted to a stop. The fans were now silent.
"Oh no! It appears that Johnny's tires have caught a flat! And there is no way to stop the clock from stopping, as the only way to stop it is to press the button!" the announcer said.
Johnny looked at the clock. It was now 1:50:00. Johnny didn't know what to do now.
"It seems it's hopeless for Johnny ladies and gentleman," the announcer said.
Carl had an evil smile on his face.
Now there is no way Johnny's going to win this challenge, and the girls will see him as a big loser! The nerdy teenager thought.
Johnny looked at the clock again. It was now 1:40:00.
This is not good! Johnny thought.
Another 10 seconds have passed. And then another. Followed by a few more as Johnny tries to think of a way to get him out of this situation. The clock was now at 1:00:00.
Only one minute left. Dangit, what can I do? Johnny thought as he slammed his hand and accidently pressed a button.
When Johnny pressed it he heard some noises from the bottom of his car. For some reason Johnny could feel the wheels of his car pumping air to themselves!
Am I going crazy? He thought.
The fans were in awe.
"I don't know how he did it folks, but it appears that Johnny's tire has pumped air into itself!" the announcer said.
Carl's jaw dropped.
"No way!" he shouted.
I don't know how this happened, but it's my only chance! Johnny thought as he stepped on the gas pedal hard.
The car started zooming fast again. The fans started to cheer.
"Their is now way!" Carl said again.
The clock was now at 00:50:00.
I've got to juice! Johnny thought as he put the pedal to the medal.
He was now coming across the bridge, where another freeze button was on the ground. Johnny zoomed past it and the clock stopped for 10 seconds. The finish line was close.
I've got one more trick up my sleeve! Carl thought as he headed towards the finish line in the stands.
When he got their he pulled out what appears to be a toy car.
This toy car is rigged with an explosive. Once I press this button, it will explode knocking out the bridge! Carl thought as he dropped the toy car onto the bridge near the finish line. Now!
He then pressed a button on his back pack and the car exploded, making half the bridge falling down.
Let's see how Johnny gets out of this!
Carl then went back to the main stands before anybody saw him. When Johnny was close at the finish line he saw that the bridge connected to the finish line collapsed.
What? Are you kidding me? Johnny thought.
"What's this ladies and gentleman? It appears that the bridge connected to the finish line collapsed!" the announcer said.
The clock was now at 00:20:00.
I only got 20 seconds left! I've got to think of something, and fast! Johnny thought.
An idea popped in his head.
I could use one of my rear weapons to zoom right past the collapsed bridge! I just got to time it right...
"It appears that Johnny is still driving even though the bridge is collapsed!" the announcer said.
Just what is Johnny up to? Carl thought.
When Johnny got up to the part of the bridge that collapsed, he pressed a button.
Now! Johnny thought.
On the back of Johnny's car a burst of flames like last time was in the back of Johnny's car. Due to that, Johnny's car sped up more, going at about 150 MPH!
All right, here we go! Johnny thought as his car was now in front of the collapsed part of the bridge.
Thanks to the added speed of Johnny's car, the vehicle manged to jump the collapsed part of the bridge! Carl's jaw dropped again.
"I can't believe this!" he shouted angrily as Johnny crossed the finish line.
The fans started to cheer like crazy.
"Woah! Johnny managed to make it in the nick of time!" the announcer said with enrgy.
Johnny got out of the car and looked at the clock. It was 00:06:00.
He's right, Johnny thought when a bunch of girls came from down the stands and went to Johnny with paper and pencil asking for an autograph.
"Why of course ladies! I'll take your phone numbers to if you don't mid," Johnny said smoothly.
Carl, on the other hand, had an angry look on his face.
"I still can't believe that jerk still won, and is more popular with the girls!" Carl said angrily. "Just wait, that jerk will get his!" he said as he walked away angrily out of the stands...
Back in 1901 Haven City Building...
"I'm back!" Johnny said as he entered the comfy room.
"Hey Johnny. So what did you do today?" Eddy asked.
"Oh nothing special, just a Freeze Rally," Johnny said.
Just then Suzie came up to Johnny.
"What's that?" Suzie asked.
"Just some challenge. You have to cross the finish line in a certain amount of time while going through traps," Johnny said. "Speaking of traps, a pressed a button on my car and tires pumped air into themselves, which was weird."
"Your tires have caught a flat Johnny?" Edd asked.
"Yeah, it was one of the traps," Johnny said.
"Oh, you like the new upgrade I put on your car?" Suzie asked.
"That was you?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah. I made a healer upgrade which can heal any part of your vehicle Johnny, but it only works once," Suzie said. "What do we say?"
"Thanks," Johnny said with no energy.
Just then Josh came up to Johnny.
"Hold on, there are no traps in a Freeze Rally," Josh said.
"Then how do you explain how my tires caught a flat, or that sticky stuff was on the road, or how the bridge collapsed?" Johnny said.
"If you ask me, then I say that someone else did that, and not the DEATHRACE staff," Josh said.
"Now did you mention it, I did saw that nerd Carl on the stands," Johnny said.
"Carl's here?" Suzie said.
"Yeah, I saw him watching me in the stands," Johnny said. "He had a mad look on his face. Oh well." Johnny said as he shrugged it off and went to the mini bar.
"Like I said last story, this is a fanfiction, anything can happen," Ed said.
"Ed's right, about anything can happen, not about the fanfiction part. It looks like our enemies are trying everything to win," Josh said.
"Don't worry Joshy boy, that one million dollars and emerald will be as good as ours," Eddy said.
"I hope so," Josh said...
Author notes: That ends this chapter. Anyway, I've got an announcement. If anyone wants to make a guess appearance in my story, just PM me. Tell me how you want to look, your vehicle, weapons, etc... Until next time! R&R!
