Chapter 7:Act 1:Turbo Dash
2100 Haven City Building...
In the shady, bad atmosphere of 2100 Haven City Building, another meeting was called. This time Katz didn't call it. Instead, it was the Kanker Sisters. The Kanker Sisters were seated at the bottom end of the table, while the cloaked figure, with his mysterious aura, was sitting at the very top of the table, poising himself as the leader of the racing team. He was the first one to speak.
"So, why did you call us here today, Kankers?" the cloaked figure said.
"Because we want to know if this is all real," Lee explained.
"What do you mean by 'real'?" the cloaked figure said.
"What I mean is if this Paramount Emerald thing is real," Lee said, her teeth showing with a little anger. "I mean, we only saw this thing on TV. How do we know if it's power is real?"
"Because it just is," the cloaked figure said.
Lee ignored his comment and gesture at the room.
"All of you, did it ever occur to you that this power is all fake?" Lee asked. Everybody in the room didn't show any expression, what so ever. "You, Father, your one of the main ones that think this is real."
Father looked at the kids, his black silhouette showing only his devious eyes.
"I guess they didn't teach you about this emerald at school," Father said. "Or maybe you weren't paying attention, like all you kids do."
"Do you have proof that this thing is real?" Marie asked.
"Yes, if you would go to the library and read a couple of books about it, you would notice that this emerald is the real deal," Father implied. "But knowing you kids, you won't do it."
"But can you give us solid proof right now?" Lee asked the cloaked figure.
"Yes I can," the cloaked figure responded. "Their are documents I stole from the CIA in my room."
"Well then go get them!" Lee demanded.
The cloaked figure said nothing and got out of his chair and into his room.
"I believe that this meeting was absolutely pointless," Fuzzy implied. "I mean, everyone in this room has heard of the emerald, so some part of it must be real."
"Okay, say if only 'some' of the part is real about the emerald, what if that part isn't the power it posses?" Lee asked. Everyone in the room was silent. "Heh, that's what I thought."
Just then the cloaked figure came back with some fresh documents in his hand. He then sat back down and gave one of the documents to the nearest person in the room.
"Skim through it and pass it around," he said.
And that is what everyone did. Them the documents passed on to the Kanker Sisters, who skimmed through it. After the Kanker sister read it, they were silent as they passed the document back up.
"Now do you believe me?" the cloaked figure asked.
"Well..." Marie started to say.
"Good. Then I guess this meeting id dismissed," the cloaked figure said as he got up.
Everyone else in the room also got up from their sitting chairs.
"This was a waste in my time," the monkey Mojo said.
"We should have known that this meeting would be like this, these are kids after all," Him stated.
"Perhaps they should go back to their sandboxes, where they belong," Father stated.
The whole room laughed and left the room.
"Why I oughta-" Lee said as she pulled up her sleeves, showing her hairy arms.
"Let it go Lee. Their not going to believe us now," Marie implied.
"Hmph. It'll take more then that document to convince me that this thing is real," Lee said.
"We're just gonna have to wait and see. Once this season is over, and we win the emerald, we'll see if this emerald is real," Marie implied.
"Fair enough," Lee said as she rolled her sleeves down.
"Well, see you guys later," May said, who was quiet this whole meeting. "I've got somewhere to be." she said as she rose up from her chair.
"Hold on May, we've got to talk to you," Lee said, stopping her sister.
"What is it Lee?" May asked.
"We need to talk to you," Lee said. "Take a seat."
May gave an annoyed sigh. "Fine, but make it quick."
"Why, so you can go on your date with your new boyfriend?" Marie implied.
May was silent.
"That' right, we know about you and Terrance," Lee said. "What about your other boyfriend?"
"Well..." May began.
"Well? Give us a better explanation then that sister," Lee implied.
"It's just...I don't know who I should go to. My pookey pookey poo Ed, or...Terrance," May said.
"May, this guy got you blinded or something, your real boyfriend is Ed," Lee said.
"He...is?" May said, almost answering her own question.
"Why of course, can't you remember the good times you've had with him?" Lee said. "He would probably cry right now of sadness if he knew you chose some other bimbo."
"He would cry all right, but not out of sadness, but of happiness to be away from your ugliness," Marie said, laughing.
"Put a sock in it Marie!" Lee said. "We're trying to teach our sister something!"
"Your right guys, Ed is the only boyfriend I need!" May said as she got up from her chair.
"Where you going?" Lee asked.
"I'm going to tell Terrance that I got a boyfriend," May said as she walked out of the building.
"Our little sister's growing up, huh Lee?" Marie asked.
"Yeah, they grow up so fast," Lee said...
A restaurant in Haven City...
Terrance was in front of a very expensive restaurant, waiting for his date to show up. Duchess was on the side of him.
"Just who are you waiting for Terrance?" Duchess asked.
"This girl, May, who I think is hot," Terrance replied.
"Oh. Well, I'm going to go shopping," Duchess said as she walked off.
After waiting for a few minutes, Terrance saw May walking up to her.
"Hey May," Terrance said.
"Hey Terrance, I've got something to tell you," May said.
"I know what your going to say," Terrance implied.
"I've...you do?" May asked.
"Yeah, you don't want to go on a date with me, you only said yes so you don't hurt my feelings, right?" Terrance asked.
"Well...not really," May implied.
"No no, your expression says everything. I understand," Terrance said sadly.
May then looked at Terrance face. It looked sweet and harmony.
How can I possibly turn away from a face like that? May thought.
"Well, I guess I'll be on my way," Terrance said as he started to walk away.
"Wait Terrance, that's not what I wanted to say," May implied.
Terrance turned and looked at her. "Really? What did you wanted to say to me?"
"Um...I've was jut wondering if we're eating here," May said, coming up with an excuse.
"Oh. Sorry about that. No, this place is to expensive," Terrance said.
"Oh. Well, what do you want to do?" May asked.
"Well, whatever you want to do," Terrance said.
"Um...wanna walk on the boardwalk?" May suggested.
"Sure," Terrance said as she approached May. "Let's go."
May and Terrance started walking towards the boardwalk, with May in thought.
I wonder if I'm making the right decision? May thought...
1901 Haven City Building...
Edd was in deep thought about yesterday at the library. Ever since that day, Edd's been silent, wondering if what had happened at the library was a dream, or real. He had trouble deciding. On the comfy couch in front of the TV, Edd had the letter in his hand, probably reading it for the 5th time, wondering if he keeps reading it a white light might engulf him again. It never happened.
Maybe I was just dreaming, Edd thought, finally coming to a conclusion.
"Hey Double D!" an obnoxious voice said that surprised Edd.
It was Freakazoid.
"Whatcha doin? It looks like your lost in another planet or something," Freakazoid implied.
"Oh, I'm fine," Edd said. "Just thinking about something."
"Well, whenever I'm in deep thought, I run around like crazy!" Freakazoid said as he started to run around the room like crazy, knocking over Eddy in the process.
"Hey, watch where you going!" Eddy said as he got up.
"Sorry, just tryin to teach your friend here a lesson," Freakazoid said, pointing to Edd.
"Really?" Eddy walked to Edd. "What's up Double D?" he asked.
"Oh, I've just been thinking about something," Edd said.
"You've been in deep thought ever since we went to the library," Eddy implied. "Did someone messed with you?"
"No, of course not. It's nothing now," Edd implied. Although I would like to go back to the library and see if they have any more of these letters by this Casimiro Baldomero. Maybe he wrote some more stuff about the emerald, Edd thought. "I'm going to the library." he said as he got up, carrying the letter in his hand.
"Why? We've just been to the library yesterday," Eddy said.
"I know, but I want to check one more thing," Edd implied. "Coming Eddy?"
"Naw, I promise to hang with Johnny and Freakazoo here," Eddy said.
"That's Freakazoid," Freakazoid said.
"Okay," Edd said as he walked out of the room...
Haven City, Library...
Their weren't that many people at the library today, probably only a few. Edd went to the front desk, hoping Mrs. Gale was their. She was.
"Hello Mrs. Gale?" Edd asked.
Mrs. Gale turned stopped what she was doing and turned around to face Edd.
"Yes?" she said with that same warm smile. "What can I do for you?"
"Well, I was wondering if their were more letters like this?" Edd said, showing the letter to Gale.
Gale shook her head. "No I'm afraid. Casimiro did write more letters to his friend, mentioning the emerald, but they were all destroyed," she said.
"Why?" Edd asked.
"I don't know all the events, but some say some of the Mayan people killed him because he hid the truth that he knew where his runaway friend was," Gale explained. "And that the Mayan people burned the rest of his letters."
"Oh my," Edd said. Edd then stood in silent for a few minutes. "Well, that's all I wanted to know."
"Is their anything else you need," she asked politely.
"No thank you," Edd said as he started to walk away.
"Wait. May I ask your name?" Gale asked.
"Oh, my name is Eddward, Edd for short, but people call me Double D," Edd said.
"Well Double D, may I ask why are you interested in the Paramount Emerald?" Gale asked.
"Well, you see, I'm part of the competition, called DEATHRACE, and the prize is the Paramount Emerald. I was hired by a..." Edd trailed off. I can't say that I've been hired by the CIA in order to save the world by a bunch of villains who plan to take the emerald and use it for villainous reasons! Edd thought.
"You don't need to say anymore. I've seen you on TV," Gale said.
"You did?" Edd asked.
"Yes, you were very amazing on your first race," Gale said.
"Why thank you," Edd said.
"Back to my question, why do you want to know so much about the emerald?" Gale asked.
"Well, I'm just curious and eager to learn," Edd said, coming up with an excuse. "Why?"
"Just asking," Gale said as Edd began to walk away again. "Oh, and Double D, you'll find the answers soon."
Edd turned around to the head librarian, confused of what she just said. He was about to say something, when Sarah, Kevin, and Nazz walked up to him.
"Yo Double D," Nazz said.
"Hello Nazz, Kevin, Sarah. What are you doing here?" Edd asked.
"Josh told us to find you. Your next challenge is starting soon," Kevin implied.
"Okay," Edd said as he walked out of the library. Back to the way to 1901 Haven City Building, Edd couldn't help but think about what the librarian said. Does she know that a mysterious white light engulfed me? Perhaps I should have asked her, Edd thought...
1901 Haven City Building...
"So what's my challenge today Josh?" Freakazoid asked Josh.
"It's a Turbo Dash replied. When asked what a Turbo Dash was, Josh replied saying, "A Turbo Dash is a challenge that takes place in a racing track. On the racing track their will be these things called 'boost balls'. Once you get a boost ball, it will be in the back of your car. After that you have to charge it up by just driving. Once it's charged up, your car will get a little added boost. Whoever gets the most boosts wins." Josh explained. "A note to the drivers that they can not use any weapons in this challenge."
"That's it? That's easy!" Freakazoid said.
"But theirs a catch," Josh explained. "After you charge a boost ball and get the turbo dash, the boost ball will plunge forward to the nearest driver. Once it hits the driver, the driver's car will take damage. Oh, and by the way, you can't use weapons in this challenge. The only weapon that you will use is the boost ball after it gets done charging."
"Okay," Freakazoid simply stated.
"Also, Cosgrove will be joining you on this challenge," Josh said as Cosgrove came up to Freakazoid.
"Yeah," Cosgrove said with no energy.
"Alright let's boogy! What's our gate number?" Freakazoid said.
"Gate number 9," Josh explained.
"All right then, let's go Cosgrove!" Freakazoid said as he got in a running position.
After he got in a running position, he then stretched his arms out and started "flying" to the garage, with Cosgrove behind.
What kind of superhero is he? Josh thought...
2100 Haven City Building...
The Lobe looked at the board where his challenge was supposed to take place. Looking by his name, it was a Turbo Dash challenge, and his gate number was 10.
"All right, let's get this over with," The Lobe said as he went to the garage.
Gate number 9...
"This should be a pretty easy challenge, eh Cosgrove?" Freakazoid asked.
"Yeah pretty much," Cosgrove said.
"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the Turbo Dash challenge!" the announcer said with energy. "Here the drivers must get the most speed boosts using the boost balls. Whoever gets the most boosts wins! Also note that the drivers can't use any weapons. The time limit is 3:00:00!"
The fans started to cheer.
"Let's go Cosgrove!" Freakazoid said as the gate opened.
Freakazoid and Cosgrove drove out of it. The track that Freeakazoid and Cosgrove were on was the metal track, the same track that May was driving on. Freakazoid's car was the Freakmobile, only upgraded with a machine gun on top of it. It was blue and short.
"No other car can beat the Freakmobile!" Freakazoid said.
Cosgrove's car was blue, with yellow stripes on it, was short, and had a basic machine gun on top of it.
"Yeah, except that one," Cosgrove said, pointing to a monster truck that was pink with yellow stripes on it, and flames.
"What kind of doofus would use a monster truck?" Freakazoid said.
"That would be me, old friend!" a familiar voice with a huge brain as a head. It was The Lobe.
"Oh, that kind of doofus," Freakazoid said.
"Why you-!" The Lobe began to say when the starting light began to shine red.
The drivers began to rev their engines.
"Your going to regret those words Freakazoid!" The Lobe said.
"We'll see about that!" Freakazoid said.
The light then turned yellow...
And when the light turned green the racers were off, hearing the fans cheering. Once they were off they were driving through metal.
"All right, where are those balls?" Freakazoid said, looking around the track.
"Yo Freakazoid, are those them?" Cosgrove said, pointing to lined up floating balls. They had a white aura around them.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out!" Freakazoid said as he accelerated his speed. Cosgrove did the same.
As soon as Freakazoid and Cosgrove touched one of the balls, the balls went in the back of their cars, following them.
"Now what do we do?" Cosgrove asked.
"Josh said we got to keep driving to charge the balls!" Freakazoid stated.
In front of Freakazoid and Cosgrove was the ramp that leads to the zigzagging part of the metal track. Freakazoid and Cosgrove jumped it, along with some other drivers, and in a few minted landed safely back on the metal ground. Then the boosts ball behind Freakazoid and Cosgrove started glowing, until they both shot up, leading to Freakazoid's and Cosgrove's car to get a little added boosts.
"So that's how it works?" Freakazoid said. "This is gonna be easy!"
"Nothing will be easy as long as I'm around Freakazoid!" The Lobe said, who was right at the side of Freakazoid's Freakmobile. "I may not be able to use weapons, but I will still destroy you Freakazoid! Take this!" he said as he bumped into Freakazoid, causing him to swerve right into Cosgrove.
"Ouch," Cosgrove said as Freakazoid bumped into him.
"See you at the finish line losers!" The Lobe said as he dashes in front of Freakazoid.
"He's gonna regret that!" Freakazoid said as he started to speed up. Cosgrove did the same.
Just then they started heading to the zigzagging part of the track. Their were some boost balls on the path of the zigzag.
"Oh no!" The Lobe said. His monster truck was to big, so The Lobe had trouble turning, usually bumping into the metallic walls.
This lead to Freakazoid and Cosgrove passing him up with ease, getting another one of the boost balls.
"See you brainiac!" Freakazoid said as he and Cosgrove drove out of the zigzagging part.
"Why did I have to make a monster truck?" The Lobe shouted.
Meanwhile the boosts balls behind Freakazoid and Cosgrove shot out ans went in front of them, gaining another boost.
"That's two!" Freakazoid said.
Just then two drivers drove up in front of Freakazoid and Cosgrove.
"Sorry, but your not getting any more of them!" one of the drivers said.
In front of the drivers three boosts balls were in front of them. The grabbed them with ease, leading Freakazoid to get the other one.
"Didn't Josh said that once you charge the boost ball it'll do some damage to the car in front of them?" Freakazoid recalled.
"Yeah, Josh did say something like that," Cosgrove said.
"Well then let's test it out!" Frekazoid said as he, Cosgrove, and the other two drivers were headed for another ramp.
They jumped it and landed back on the metal ground. After that the two drivers boost balls shot up and gave the two drivers a little boost. The same thing happened to Freakazoid, only this time when the ball shot up, it hit one of the drivers head on. This caused the driver to swerve and hit one of the metallic walls, causing his car to explode.
"Nice shot Freakazoid," Cosgrove said.
"Aw, it was no-" Freakazoid didn't finish his sentence as a boost ball shot up and hit Cosgrove right in the back, causing him to swerve in the back of Freakazoid.
"Oh no!" Freakazoid said.
Just then the other driver in front of Freakazoid got on the side of him.
"You'll pay for what you did to my partner!" the driver said as he bumped right into Freakazoid.
Meanwhile Cosgrove gained back his control over his car, as he was behind Freakazoid.
"I've got to catch up to Freakazoid and-wait a minute," Cosgrove said as he looked in his rear view mirror.
Another boost ball was coming at him full speed. Cosgrove barely managed to dodge it as he turned, the speed ball going past him. Just then another driver drove at the side of him.
"You would have been better to let that ball hit you old man!" the driver said as he bumped into Cosgrove and swerved a little.
"Old man? I'm only 56," Cosgrove said as he accelerated his speed to the driver, but the driver was faster.
Cosgrove then saw a boost ball in the side of him and got it. When it got through charging, the boost ball shot up and gave Cosgrove a little boost, then the boost ball impacted on the driver in front of him, causing him to swerve and hit a metallic wall. The results was an explosion.
"I should have just said cut it out and he would have stopped. Oh well," Cosgrove said as he continued driving.
Meanwhile after turning left and right in a metallic path, Freakazoid and the driver in front of him drove to a staircase, and after crossing it they were headed to a metal cave. When inside the cave, Freakazoid and the driver saw one boost ball in front of them.
"That's mine!" the driver said as he accelerated his speed.
Freakazoid did the same, but wasn't fast enough as the driver got the ball first. He then drove behind Freakazoid.
"Once this ball gets through charging, your toast!" the driver said.
Just before the ball got through charging, another boost ball impacted behind the driver, causing the driver to swerve and hit the metallic wall, causing him to explode. After that Cosgrove drew at the side of Freakazoid.
"Cosgrove, was that you?" Freakazoid asked.
"Yep, I used a boost ball to get him of your tail," Cosgrove implied.
"Thanks Cosgrove!" Freakazoid said as he and Cosgrove exited the cave and continued on a metal path.
"Thought you seen the last of me, did you?" a familiar voice said. It was The Lobe.
"Oh great, if it isn't the braniac," Freakazoid said.
"You'll regret those words Freakazoid, for my ultimate weapon in my monster truck will...OH MY-" The Lobe didn't finish his sentence as he hit the brakes.
"What was-" before Freakazoid could say anything, Cosgrove said, "Look out Freakazoid, moving trains!"
Freakazoid looked in the front of him and saw a moving train that he was about to collide with if it wasn't for Cosgrove. Freakazoid turned his car, barely missing the moving train.
"What kind of idiot would put moving trains on a racing track?" Freakazoid said.
"Probably the writer of this fanfic," Cosgrove said.
"No time to break the fourth wall Cosgrove, their are two boost balls right in front of us," Freakazoid said as they headed to two boost balls.
Both Cosgrove and Freakazoid got it as they kept dodging trains. When they were done with that, Freakazoid and Cosgrove's boost balls shot up and got a little boost in their cars.
"Do you know how many boosts we've got Freakazioid? We only got 1:50:00 left," Cosgrove implied.
"I don't know, I lost count," Freakazoid said.
"Hey look Freakazoid, theirs another boost ball in front of us" Cosgrove said as he pointed to the boost ball in front of them.
"Your right Cosgrove!" freakazoid said.
"All we just got to do is-" before Cosgrove could finish his sentence, a familiar monster truck bumped in the back of him, causing him to swerve and hit one of the metallic walls, causing his car to explode.
Freakazoid gasped when he saw this. "Cosgrove!" Freakazoid shouted.
"Haha! So much for your partner Freakazoid!" The Lobe said as he pressed a button. "Now I'm going to deal with you!"
Just then a giant metal hammer appeared on top of The Lobe's truck. "Get ready to get smashed Freakazoid!" he said as he drew closer to Freakazoid.
In front of Freakazoid the last boost ball was in front of him, as well as the ramp to cross the finish line.
All I gotta do is get that boost ball and... Freakazoid said as he accelerated his speed.
"It's hopeless Freakazoid! You'll never get away from me!" The Lobe said as he drew closer to Freakazoid.
Freakazoid then accelerated his speed, getting closer to the ball. Just a little closer...BAM.
The Lobe smashed down his hammer.
"Yes, YES! Finally, the bad guys win!" The Lobe said.
"I would think twice about the that braniac!" a familiar voice said from behind The Lobe.
"No...it can't be!" The Lobe said.
But it was. Freakazoid obtanied the boost ball and was right behind The Lobe.
"But...how did..." The Lobe said.
"This is a fanfic, anything can happen! Like my old friend said, until you killed him! Now your gonna pay!" Freakazoid said as the boost ball finished charging and shot up to the monster truck.
"No...NOOO..." The Lobe said as the boost ball impacted on the monster truck, causing it to swerve and hit a metallic wall and exploded into debris. As for The Lobe, he somehow managed to escape via a parachute. As he was floating in the air, he said, "I'll get you yet Freakazoid, I swear!"
"Yeah yeah, all the bad guys say that in TV shows," Freakazoid said as he hit the ramp in front of him.
After being in the air for a few minutes, ha landed back on the metallic ground and hit the finish line. The fans started to cheer his name.
"Wait a minute ladies and gentleman, first we have to see if Freakazoid has the most speed boosts," the announcer said as a big screen in the track flashed on.
On it, it was tallying the amount of boost Freakazoid had, which was five. Then the screen flashed to the other drivers and started tallying their boosts, which all were lower then Freakazoids.
"I don't know how this is possible ladies and gentleman, but Freakazoid somehow manged to win with a low number! Freakazoid wins!" the announcer said.
The fans then cheered his name, but Freakazoid didn't pay them no mind.
"My friend, my best friend, is dead! I don't know how I could live on, or how can I eat or sleep, or how can I-"
"You can eat and sleep easily my friend," a familiar voice said behind him. It was Cosgrove!
"Cosgrove! Your alive!" Freakazoid said, bouncing to his friend like a child.
"Of course I'm alive, I bailed out of the car as soon as it was about to hit the wall," Cosgrove said. "And it looks like you won."
"No my friend, WE won," Freakazoid said, putting an arm around his best friend...
2100 Haven City Building...
The Lobe opened the door to the villains room with a mad look in his face.
"HOW COULD I LOSE! IT JUST-"
"Hey shut it, can't you see we're tryin to watch TV?" Lee, the leader of the Kankers, said.
"NO ONE TELLS ME-"
"SHUT UP!" the Kanker Sisters said all together.
"Sorry," The Lobe said with a wimpy voice...
