Mojave Desert, Acceledrome 2.0
The Acceleracers had finally gotten their cars built. Taro, Mark Wylde, and Kurt Wylde were in the training room. After Mark had gotten used to his cybernetic alterations he knew he had to start training. Kadeem and the Drones wouldn't stop hunting him or the rest of the Acceleracers. He sent a punch with his robotic arm at Kurt, Kurt jumped to the side and grabbed Mark's arm; spinning him around and throwing him into a wall of mats. Mark slowly pulled himself away from the mats with a smirk. He rubbed his forehead and looked at Kurt "That was a nice move brother but, I'm not done yet. He charged at Kurt and feigned another punch, just as Kurt was going to block he ducked down and performed a perfect sweep of the leg.
Taro walked over and high-fived Mark. They may all be a family now but he still liked seeing Teku humbled every so often. Mark walked over and offered Kurt his hand. Kurt took it and stood up, he gave his brother a fist bump "That was a good fight, bro, I got too cocky and I paid the price. You have gotten a lot better. If we ever have to face those Drones in hand-to-hand combat again, we'll send them back to the scrapyard. Just then the Klaxon alarm started going off indicating the opening of a new Racing Realm. Loni spoke over the speaker "The following drivers, prepare to enter the realm: Vert Wheeler, Kurt Wylde, Mark Wylde, Shirako Takamoto, Nolo Pasaro, Karma Eiss, Taro Kitano, and Tork Maddox. The drivers got their cars revved up and ready to enter the realm. The hologram of the Wheel of Power opened and the drivers took off, they sped in a perfect line until they reached three hundred miles per hour and jumped into the realm.
Unknown Ice Realm
The acceleracers fell onto the track at a steep downhill angle. Kurt, Mark, and Nolo immediately hit the brakes. The road was covered in a thick layer of ice that caused their cars to slide and spin out. They slammed into a few snowbanks before Mark got on the radio and let everyone know that the road was covered in ice and they needed to switch to spikes on their tires. Karma immediately figured out that this was another challenge by the Accelerons and the only way to get to the end on time was to keep control of your car. She got on the radio and said "The purpose of this realm is control, watch your speed, and lightly hit your brakes when needed." Everyone heard her loud and clear, Vert and Taro were about to stop to check on their crashed comrades but they were told to "go on ahead." Kurt got on the radio and said "This is a minor setback, y'all go on ahead and we'll catch up in no time." Vert and Taro acknowledged that and sped on ahead.
After about five minutes the portal opened up again and the Racing Drones entered. Ten RD-S1 drones entered led by an RD-L1, they left the trapped humans alone and sped on down the track. Nolo got on the radio "Guys keep an eye out, we got drones. Eleven entered and they seemed to be hyper-focused. They left us alone and are racing towards y'all." Tork Maddox answered "Thanks for the heads up Nolo, alright everyone listen up. These clankers attacked our home, they are responsible for Gig's death, and they have tried to kill us more times than I can count. Let's turn them back into scrap metal." Tork heard a resounding cry of affirmation from the other drivers as they continued along the track. Kurt, Mark, and Nolo pulled themselves from the snowbank a few minutes later; Kurt got on the radio "We got to make up for lost time, what do you say bro? The last one through the portal has to clean the winner's car for a day?" Mark just smirked at his older brother. After everything they had been through they were able to joke around like they were children again; Mark replied "Make it a week and you got yourself a deal." Nolo smiled at this display of brotherly love "I'll take a piece of that action" he chimed in. All three drivers smirked before they sped off. A Recon Drone saw that the humans had made it out of the snow bank and were racing to catch up with their friends. It immediately sent this footage to RD-Kadeem.
Racing Drone Headquarters
RD-Kadeem saw the footage captured by the Recon Drone and mused to himself "So, those humans are trying to help out their comrades. Unfortunately, there will be nothing of them to save once we get through with them." He cracked a sadistic smile (a grotesque imitation from when he was human). He got on the radio and contacted RD-L1 "The three humans you passed at the beginning of the realm have made it out of the snowbank and are racing to meet up with the others. Send half of your squad to entertain them."
Unknown Ice Realm
RD-L1 growled out a response "Understood." He then signaled for five of his squad to turn around and face off against the humans while he and the remaining squad engaged the humans ahead. RD-ST1 let out a screech and raced off with his four comrades. These humans would not escape.
Mojave Desert, Acceledrome 2.0
Loni and Dr. Tezla were watching the camera footage from the drivers and a warm feeling was running through both of them. They saw how seamlessly the Acceleracers worked together; Dr. Tezla always had trouble admitting when he was wrong but, he saw the strong bond they had forged and how well they complimented each other now. While competition and struggle bred greatness he saw something he never thought of before. Ever since they unified into one family, they were a true force to be reckoned with. The Drones and the Silencers all just followed orders without question but, the Acceleracers had each other. They had something that the Drones and Silencers would never have, complete and total faith in one another.
Unknown Ice Realm
All of a sudden Karma sees RD-L1 and his soldiers gaining on them. At the same time, Nolo sees RD-ST1 and his squad racing towards them. As one Karma and Nolo get on the radio to alert everyone "We've got drones inbound." Mark, Kurt, Tork, and Shirako all smile at the thought of some action before they say "Let's go to work."
Review: Acceleracers was an integral part of my childhood and I recently got the chance to watch those movies again. Those movies were pure nostalgia and years ahead of their time (in my opinion at least). I wanted to try my hand at writing a fanfiction for this underrated series and hopefully bring some more fans into the Realms ;) Are you ready for the race of a lifetime? Let's find out together
