I do not own any anime or any video games.

Here we go, part 2 of Nuchu's flashback.

Tokyo, Japan

Mt. Akina; 4:46 pm.

With Nuchu….

The cameras were rolling and the interview went underway, as Reina asked me a series of questions concerning the crew and the Midnight Club in general, most of the members of my crew were in the parking lot showing off their customized Toyota Supras.

"So Nuchu-San, about the Midnight Club," Reina asked, "Can you share a little history about this popular organization?"

"Hai, the Midnight Club (originally it's Mid Night Club during the time) was first formed in 1985," I stated, "During this time the Mid Night Club wasn't really an organization, just a regular street racing crew that would race on the Wangan in the middle of the night. These guys were active up until 1999, when a Bōsōzoku gang were waiting for the club to 'play' with them as they were racing down the freeway, it ended with six bikers in the hospital and two innocent motorist one of the motorist and one of the Bosozoku were killed. As was the club policy (To not endanger or injure any other motorist, no matter a racer, nor an innocent bystander), such a happening would cause the club to be disbanded immediately and forever."

"So who brought the Midnight Club back to life?" Reina asked.

"That would be Yamamoto-San," I answered, "Yamamoto-San is the grandfather of one of the Mid Night Club members, Yamamoto decided to turn the Midnight Club into an organization, now some people say that the Midnight Club has been around since the 60's and that's not true. Yamamoto started a car club (American Royalty) and his friend started a biker club (Choppers of America) in the 60's, later on in the late 70's to mid 80's people who came from wealthy families who drove exotic sports cars, decided to start their own car club called By Invitation Only (aka BIO). The import scene grew extremely popular in the early to late 90's giving birth to a car club called the Unbeatable Street Racers, not only that but the sports bike scene was becoming popular also, giving birth to the Original Riders bike club."

"Interesting." Reina said.

"Oh yeah, between 2000 and 2005 trucks and SUV's were popular (they were popular in the 90's also but not much), giving birth to the Big Playas car club, and finally around 2006 through 2007 Luxury sedans were starting to grow popular in the street racing community giving birth to the Luxury Rollers car club."

"I've been hearing rumors that you guys are trying to start a chapter here in the heart of Tokyo." Reina said.

"Yes it is true," I replied, "Back in the USA, we have different chapters in different cities, one in Newark and West Orange, NJ, one in San Diego, one in Los Angeles, and one in Atlanta."

Reina and some of the staff members were quite impressed, "Wow, so you guys have been quite busy huh?" Reina asked, "Now, you guys have different Chapters in the USA, I heard that you guys aren't an official car club just yet is that true?"

I sighed and scratched the back of my head, "Yeah unfortunately it is true, we are not and official car club just yet, we have to go through Yamamoto's initiation in order for SOS (both USA and Tokyo) to be an official car club."

"Well I'm wishing you and your crew members the best of luck," Reina replied, "Now let's talk about your new and improved Toyota Supra."

I gave a nod and opened the hood, the trunk, and both doors so the cameramen and Reina could have a look inside, "Of course this is my 1996 Toyota Supra, it has a wide body kit and spoiler that I managed to get from TRD," I stated, "Inside are two TRD bucket seats, a TRD steering wheel and a navigation system."

Reina and I walked around to the back of the Supra where I showed her the sound system, it had two 15 inch subwoofers (from Alpine) on each side, in the middle were two 17,00 watt amps (also from Alpine), four small TV screens (from Kenwood) and two large nitrous oxide tanks (from Nitrous Express).

We went around the front area where I showed her my brand new engine that I installed inside of the Supra, "This is a twin turbocharged V12 engine that the boys from TRD managed to create for me," I said, "The cold air intake systems are from AEM, the intercooler itself is from HKS, the strut bar is from Greddy and the turbochargers are from TRD."

"So Nuchu-San are you gonna test drive this monstrous, speed machine on the Wangan?" Reina asked.

"Of course, and you can ride shotgun with me if you want." I replied.

Later on that night…

Wangan; 7:52 pm.

With Nuchu…

After spending most of the time showing off my skills in the mountain pass, we eventually went to the Wangan, the cameramen installed two small cameras inside my vehicle. One was pointing towards me and the other at Reina; there were cameramen that were riding shotgun with a few other street racers also.

The cameras began rolling as my lieutenants and I began accelerating down the Wangan at normal speeds, "So Nuchu, how much horsepower does this vehicle have?" Reina asked, as I put the Supra in third gear.

"This car has at least 800 HP." I answered.

"Really?" Reina replied, raising an eyebrow, "You and your crew must've spent a lot of time and energy on this car."

"Swapping the engine out and trying to make this vehicle as aerodynamic as possible yes." I replied.

Suddenly I got a call from one of my lieutenants through the walkie-talkie, "Yo Nuchu," Andrew said, "Heads up bro, there's a car coming your way, man this driver is flying!"

Both Reina and I glanced at each other, we were both thinking that it was Akio driving in his S30Z, that is until we both saw the vehicle speed right by us.

*VROOOOOOOOOOOM*

Even though the vehicle went flying by us, both Reina and I managed to catch a good glimpse at the vehicle, it wasn't Akio and his S30Z but instead a 1996 Toyota Supra. The vehicle had sort of a bronze/gold-like paintjob, a wide body kit, stock spoiler, custom taillights, a large bore exhaust, dark tinted windows and custom bronze/gold colored rims the vehicle also had the words "Top Secret Performance" on both sides.

"That Supra," Reina muttered, "Was that….."

"Yeah it was," I answered, before she could finish her question, "Say Reina-Chan, you don't mind if I challenge the driver to a race do you?"

"No not at all."

That's all I needed to hear, "Put your seatbelt on," I told her, as I put the Supra in fourth gear and pressed my foot further down on the accelerator, "This is gonna be a hell of a ride."

I picked up the walkie-talkie and told the rest of my crew to stand down; I wanted this race to be between me and my opponent, I've been trying to look for this guy for about a week and now he finally wants to show when I'm in the middle of an interview.

I sped up until I was close enough behind my opponent and started to flash my headlights signaling or a challenge, the gold colored Supra started to speed up even more giving the hint that he's accepted my challenge, I put the car in fifth gear going down the freeway at almost 175 MPH.

"I haven't forgot about that night," I thought, "The night that you completely left me in the dust, since then me and the boys spent nearly a month customizing this ride to tooth and nail, this ride has got it all: the perfect exhaust system, the perfect engine and the perfect aerodynamic body kit. This time my engine isn't gonna get overheated and blow, yours however, might."

Meanwhile…..

With Andrew…..

Me, Matoko, and the rest of the crew were still driving somewhat casually down the Wangan, at a distance we could see Nuchu and his opponent just a little bit, until both taillights faded away.

"Good luck Nuchu, you're gonna need it." I thought.

"You think Nuchu will win?" the cameraman asked me.

"I have faith, we all think he'll win," I answered, "That Supra has been tuned to race on the freeway and in the mountain passes."

Suddenly my walkie-talkie started to beep, "Uhhh Andrew, we got a GT-R car club coming through," Matoko said.

Both the cameraman and I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a group of Nissan Skylines (R32 to R34's) closing in behind us fast, leading the crew were two vehicles that I recognized, one of them was a Nissan GT-R R35 and the other one was a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34.

The GT-R crew went flying by at breakneck speeds, "Oh boy, I better warn Nuchu," I muttered, "He is not gonna be pleased."

With Nuchu and Reina….

My opponent and I maneuvered around giant trucks and swerved past other types of vehicles on the freeway, the sheer and raw power that this Supra had alone was unbelievable, I don't really need to use nitrous oxide to try to overtake my opponent.

When I reached over 200 MPH it seems like everything around me slows down, every time there was a little bit of heavy traffic I would go through it unscathed, "Is this it?" I thought, "Is this the type of feeling that Ping-Sensei was talking about?"

I started to think back to what both him and my mother told me: "Listen Nuchu, racing on the freeway can be both a fun but yet frightening experience, when you're going down the road at top speeds your heart rate starts to increase rapidly. When this happens, your adrenaline starts to flow through your veins at a rate that everything around you starts to slow down, I call it 'Zone Vision,' 'Tunnel Vision,' or just 'Zone.'"

On a small but lenient curve, the car would stay glued to the road, it felt like I was controlling the car like it was my own hands and feet.

"There's no more traffic from this point on," Reina stated, "Now's your opportunity to pass him."

I pressed my foot down on the gas accelerating even more, I sped up until both my opponent and I were aligned side by side, I put the Supra in fifth gear and managed to fully overtake the Supra, "Now I got the lead," I thought, "It's over, you won't have another chance to overtake me."

As I approached the tunnel I got a call on the walkie-talkie, "Nuchu, you got company coming your way and they're coming fast." Matoko said.

Reina and I looked in the rearview mirror, behind my opponent were two vehicles: one was a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, it had a wide body kit from NISMO and was colored yellow with a black racing stripe going from the hood to the trunk. The other vehicle was a solid black Nissan GT-R R35, it was stock on the outside and had dark black tinted windows, the headlights were colored light blue.

"Ah man you got to be kidding me!" I said, groaning internally.

"Nuchu-San, who are they?" Reina asked.

"They're people that I know."

Next chapter coming up and part 3 of Nuchu's flashback.
