WOOO! WOOO! WOOO! WOOO!
It had been a while since Ben and his friends escaped from Cross and the cops and had Mr. Diamonds' help in transporting Ben's stuff. Ben was becoming better and stronger, now Cross and all of his cops were having a hard time catching him.
WOOO! WOOO!
"Dammit! He got away again! Every second that Ben is out there, many people's lives are put at risk! We need some big help ASAP."
"Wh-What are you planning sir?"
"It's obvious that the normal police force can't handle this anymore. I don't know how, but Ben's ride got some massive upgrades."
"So… what are you going to do sir?"
"I'm askin' help from anyone who can take down Ben legally. We can't go about this willy-nilly, we could get into legal trouble. I already had a hard time requesting other authorities that I install these mods on the police cars so that we'd be able to actually catch people like Ben. But it's not enough, let's get someone who can match Ben. Possibly even a racing-related superhero. Or just anyone who can take him down in general."
A Few Days Later…
And that help soon came, -in the form of a superhero racer. He was the famous Speed Racer, he drove a car called the "Mach 5". It was an unusual white car with some red designs and the number 5 on its side. Just like Ben's Corvette, it had some gadgets and equipment as well. Buzzsaw blades, auto jacks and oxygen tanks. The Mach 5 practically had it all. Now Ben would soon meet his match.
Some Time Later…
Ben was just cruising along the road. Suddenly, the Mach 5 came up behind him. It took a while for Ben to notice it. But when he saw it, he realized what it was. Maybe Speed Racer didn't know him yet? He would have to see.
CHAKK-CHAKK!
Nope, Speed Racer definitely knew him. He made two big guns come out of the front of the Mach 5, Ben then started making a break for it by hitting the NOS. However, Speed Racer could keep up with him.
FWOOOSSSHHH!
VROOOMMM!
Ben activated the Corvette's guns, before making them face backwards. Then, he started firing them at Speed Racer's car. However, the Mach 5 proved to be very durable making Ben even more anxious. Why was Speed Racer here and how did he know who he was? Wait, did Cross send him?
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-
Although the Mach 5 was durable, it wasn't indestructible. At least against everything Ben could throw at it. Ben wasn't as skilled as Speed Racer, but he wasn't a slouch either. He could drive.
SCREEECCCHHH!
As Ben kept on driving, he went past the Bellwood Police Station. He smashed through its tower, making it fall.
BEEP! BEEP!
"Suspect's driving through the Bellwood Police Station, he just made the tower collapse."
"Hey! Stop your car! Or I'll have to stop you myself!" yelled Speed Racer. However, Ben ignored him and tried ramming him. However, Speed braked hard and just managed to avoid Ben. "Damn, this guy's got some moves!" Ben thought, before he kept using the Corvette's guns against Speed.
Just then, Speed pressed the "A" button on his steering wheel. It activated the "Auto Jacks". Speed ended up making his car jump high into the air. Then, he used the Auto Jacks again while in mid-air to try and crush Ben's car. However, what he didn't know was that Ben's car was tough as well. His grandfather modified it to be that way. When the Auto Jacks tried crushing Ben's car, they failed. Speed was forced to let the Mach 5 land on the ground again. This time, he tried to stop Ben by braking in front of him. However, Ben saw this tactic get used by police once. He braked hard as well before swerving into the way that lead to the donut shop.
VROOOMMM!
CRASH!
Ben made the front of the donut shop fall again, Speed Racer used his Auto Jacks once more to avoid getting hit by the front sign.
FWOOSH!
While Ben was on the road, he accidentally hit a bunch of traffic cars. But he didn't care and drove on. He smashed through the bus station before going into Rockport.
SMASH!
SMASH!
SCREEECCCHHH!
VROOOMMM!
After getting back into the streets of Rockport, Ben tried smashing into an unfinished construction project. However, Speed Racer managed to dodge it and keep chasing him. Just then…
BEEP! BEEP!
"We have blocked off the road ahead, see if you can herd him down to the left. Watch your speed."
The police have placed a roadblock with a spike strip. As Ben was going around the bend, he saw it. He braked hard, but his car was going too fast. Just then…
SMASH!
POP!
SCREEECCCHHH!
Ben accidentally hit an undercover federal cruiser, his left front tire accidentally went over the spike strip causing it to pop. Luckily, Ben's car had enough power to keep going even when its left front tire was popped. He just had to keep pushing.
"Suspect's front left tire popped! We're movin' in!"
SLAM!
"Agh!"
Speed Racer and the other police units pinned Ben into a wall. They pinned him so tight that his car couldn't get out anymore. Ben was trapped.
"Stop the car! Stop the car!"
"Dammit…"
Ben was frustrated. He tried calling for help, but before he could do that Cross rushed up to his car. The other police units let him through so that he could get to Ben. When Ben saw Cross, he tried to make another run for it. However, Cross managed to get to him first. Then, Cross grabbed Ben by his shirt before punching him and throwing him to the ground.
"C'mere you!"
"AAAHHH!"
FWOOSH!
BAM!
"Agh!"
FWOOSH!
BAM!
"Oomph!"
After Ben was on the ground, Cross put handcuffs on him. Then, he was taken to Rockport Police Station again.
Some Time Later…
"This is the end of the road for you, boy!"
Cross finally captured Ben again. However, Ben wasn't going to stay captured for long.
VROOOMMM!
SMASH!
SCREEECCCHHH!
"AAAHHH!"
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-
Max came to the rescue! With the Rustbucket, he'd be able to break Ben out of the police station easily. "Get in." he said as he rolled down his window, Ben quickly got up from his seat and went inside the Rustbucket. Then, Max drove off. "Don't worry 'bout your ride, I took care of that." Max said, "Yeah, now let's get outta here." replied Ben.
VROOOMMM!
SCREEECCCHHH!
Max drove as fast as he could, police were after him again. Luckily, he managed to evade them quickly this time. And soon, he and Ben were out of their sights.
A Few Hours Later…
Max and Ben managed to get to the Camden safehouse. Inside was Ben's ride looking like brand new and that nothing had happened. "Hey, glad ya could make it back. There's your ride by the way." Rog said after Ben jumped off the Rustbucket. "Yeah, thanks. Now, can someone please get these handcuffs off me?" asked Ben.
A Few Minutes Later…
"So, ya thought of a name for your ride cuz?"
"Yeah, I'll just name it the Rustbucket X."
"Hehe, seriously?"
"Well, it's a name that hasn't been taken by grandpa. And X is the Roman numeral for 10 so…"
"Nice, like it!"
"Sweet name dude!"
"Yeah, pretty cool."
"Thanks, I'm good at comin' up with names."
"Hehehe."
"Haha!"
Ben named his Corvette the "Rustbucket X", obviously named after the Rustbucket. Max had called plenty of the rides he made "Rustbuckets", so it was only a matter of time before Ben started naming one of his vehicles this.
Meanwhile…
WOOO! WOOO!
SCREEECCCHHH!
Razor was prowling on the streets with his lackeys Bull and Ronnie, Razor managed to get Bull out of jail. And it turns out Ben wasn't the only one who modified a vehicle. Razor had some new tricks up his wheels as well. They were almost the same as Ben's, only twice as powerful.
VROOOMMM!
SLASH!
BAM!
"Hahahahaha!"
Razor had managed to imitate the modifications Ben had to his car recently, now the BMW had weapons and other equipment as well. Razor terrorized the streets with Bull and Ronnie, instilling fear into the citizens of Bellwood, Camden and Rockport. Some of the cops didn't know that Razor was now driving the BMW and not Ben, but it wouldn't matter to them. Both Razor and Ben were illegal street racers, and both of them were super dangerous.
BEEP! BEEP!
"Attention pursuit divison, we have a report of multiple vehicles racing. Descriptions match dangerous wanted drivers."
"Can you give us some more info on that?"
"Suspects are driving a blue and white BMW, a black Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and a yellow and green Aston Martin DB9."
"I'll take that call, I'm headin' over there now."
"Aight, time ta rattle the police boys."
"Hehehe!"
"Hehehe!"
CRASH!
As Razor and his lackeys continued to wreak havoc, reports of them doing dangerous things were piling up. And not all of them were related to illegal street racing. This placed more heat and hate on Ben from the citizens of Bellwood, Camden and Rockport. Some people even thought that Ben was leading Bull and Ronnie, but that wasn't the truth.
A Few Hours Later…
There was a contest on who could escape a minimum of a heat 5 pursuit in a stock car. Many illegal street racers thought it was impossible. But one took on the challenge.
VROOM! VROOM! VROOM-VROOM-VROOM-VROOM-VROOM-VROOM!
Someone arrived in a white stock Lexus IS 300, -it was Ben! He was looking for something to test his skills as a driver, and this was one of the perfect ways to do it. He cracked his knuckles, before preparing to take on the challenge. Suddenly, a girl came in front of his car. Then, she lowered down a piece of red cloth.
VROOOMMM!
Ben then sped off, ready to try and do the challenge. The reward was a huge load of money, so Ben wouldn't pass this up.
A Few Minutes Later…
BEEP! BEEP!
"Attention pursuit units, we have a report of a reckless driver. Please head up over there."
"Can you give us some more info on that vehicle?"
"Suspect is driving a white Lexus."
"I'm heading over there now."
A Few Seconds Later…
BEEP! BEEP!
"Caught up with that driver. H-He's not stoppin'. Yeah, it's confirmed. Code 3 we've got a chase here."
"Attention pursuit units, we have a code 6 driver trying to evade police. Suspect is driving a white Lexus."
SCREEECCCHHH!
SLAM!
CRASH!
"Oh yeah!"
Ben was showing a lot of skill. Even in a stock Lexus, he could do some damage and drive. Just then…
VROOOMMM!
SMASH!
"Suspect just went through the drive-in!"
SMASH!
As the Code 1 units chased after Ben, Ben kept on driving. He would let his heat get up to level 5 before trying to evade.
Many Hours Later…
"Attention pursuit units, pursuit has been escalated to Condition 3. Repeat, Condition 3."
SCREEECCCHHH!
BAM!
"Suspect's tryna take me out!"
"Suspect's tryna run me off the road!"
Ben was causing a ruckus between him and the Code 3 units. It would only be a matter of time before his heat increased.
A Few Hours Later…
"Attention pursuit units, pursuit has escalated to Condition 4. Repeat, Condition 4."
SLAM!
"Suspect 10-42 with the rig!"
SCREEECCCHHH!
"Oh yeah, let's burn some rubber!" said Ben, as he pressed on the gas pedal harder. "WOOOHOOO!" he shouted as he went through a high part of the road in Rockport and ended up jumping.
SLAM!
Some More Hours Later…
"Attention pursuit units, pursuit has increased to Condition 5. Repeat, Condition 5."
"It's showtime."
Ben smirked, before he saw one of the federal police units. Then, he slammed into the back of one of them.
SMASH!
"D-Dismatch! S-Suspect just hit me!"
"Alright, on my order we'll roll him into a box!"
A few minutes later, Ben saw a roadblock with a spike strip on it. He drifted hard, before managing to go through it by smashing one of the cop cars with the side of his car. Then, he drifted again to straighten his car and roll away.
"Suspect pushed through the block!"
"Heads up, we're gonna knock him out."
Just then, the police chopper decided to try and flip Ben over. However, it was unsuccessful as Ben's car just flipped back on its wheels. "Whew." Ben sighed in relief, before he continued to drive. Just then…
VROOOMMM!
BOOM!
"Suspect just went through the gas station!"
Ben just went through a gas station, making the gas pumps explode and taking out several federal police units. Just then…
VROOOMMM!
SMASH!
BAM!
Ben went through the donut shop sign again, making it fall down. The chopper flew up in the air just in time to avoid getting hit by it.
"Alright, we're gonna need some rhino units here. We can't stop the suspect."
"They're 20 minutes away, hang on."
SCREEECCCHHH!
Soon, Ben reached the roads to Bellwood Stadium. He swerved hard, before he went in there. Just then, he smashed through the sign.
BAM!
BAM!
"He just went through the stadium!"
After Ben made the stadium's sign fall on the cops that were chasing him, he quickly spun around and went back the way he came. Since the cops were buried in big chunks of the sign, they couldn't see Ben. Just then…
VROOOMMM!
"We lost visual, anybody know where he is?"
VROOOMMM!
Ben just managed to evade a Code 5 pursuit in a white stock Lexus. When he got back to the docks where the bet was held, almost everyone cheered for him. Of course, some of the illegal street racers were jealous. But you can't please everyone.
Some Time Later…
Ben received the cash prize. It was huge, and it was worth it. When he got back to the safehouse with Max in the Rustbucket, his friends cheered for him.
"Bro! You're the man!"
"Yeah, didn't know ya had it in ya!"
"I love a challenge sometimes."
"Dude, you are bomb!"
"You really have become the go-to driver."
Ben split the cash prize he received with Gwen, Max and his friends. "C'mon, let's all go eat out." said Ben, "Yeah dude!" agreed Kenneth. Then, everyone went to eat outside.
Some More Time Later…
Soon, Ben was alone in his safehouse. Then, he got a call from Gwen.
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!
BEEP!
"Hey, I heard Razor upgraded the BMW again."
"Yeah, I saw it on the news a while ago."
"He's been rattlin' a lot o' people in Rockport. And not just Rockport, everywhere else too!"
"I know. I really need to get that BMW back."
"Just hang in there, you're close. We just gotta find him."
"It's been a while and we still haven't found him yet. But I'm not givin' up. I'm not gonna let Razor get away with what he did, and I'm gonna get that BMW back. And I want it back even more now that it's been upgraded."
"Well, we'll find him soon. Don't worry."
BEEP!
A Few Minutes Later…
Ben was driving outside in his Corvette, when suddenly…
VROOM! VROOM-VROOM-VROOM-VROOM-VROOM!
WOOO! WOOO!
"Shit! Cops!"
VROOOMMM! SCREEECCCHHH!
Some non-blacklist street racers were busted before they could even start the race. They had to split up and go separate ways. Just then, Ben got a text from Razor.
"Hey. You know who this is. Seems like the races are gettin' busted before they start. I mean, the cops are all over the place. Let's just say I'm not the only one who's noticed. You better watch your back."
Ben went off before the cops could have a chance to see him. But just then…
VROOOMMM!
SMASH!
"Agh!"
"Hey."
"Wh-What?! K-Kaze?!"
"Hahaha! Bonjour Ben Tennyson!"
"Wh-What- -L-LaGrange?!"
"We meet again, Tennyson!"
"Wh-What- -A-Animo?!"
Ben remembered what Razor said about people wanting to make him pay. Looks like these would be one of those cases. Ben got ready, before he activated his car's rear tow cable.
CHAKK!
SMASH!
"Shit!"
SCREEECCCHHH!
"So the rumors are true! Ben has some new tricks up his wheels!"
"Yeah, and I ain't afraid ta use 'em. Ya'll want me? Come get me!"
Ben taunted his enemies after he destroyed LaGrange's front window using his rear tow cable. Then, he activated the rear buzzsaw blades.
CHAKK-CHAKK!
SLASH! SLASH!
"Agh!"
LaGrange was surprised as the front of his car was damaged a bit by Ben's rear buzzsaws, "I got him." said Kaze with a wicked smirk as she kept on slamming towards Ben. Animo then tried to make Ben spin, but Ben was tougher than before. So that was hard to do. Just then…
CHAKK-CHAKK!
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-
"WHOA!"
"He's not the only one with firepower!"
LaGrange pressed a button on his car. Then, a big flamethrower came out. It tried incinerating Ben's car, but Ben swerved out of the way and hit the NOS. Just then, Kaze started putting slashes on Ben's car using her own buzzsaws. Ever since an accident happened with a delivery that was supposed to be for LaGrange, Ben was no longer the only guy that had crazy modifications to his car. The parts that were supposed to be delivered to LaGrange ended up scattering all over Bellwood, Camden and Rockport. And soon, various racers managed to get ahold of them. -Even non-blacklist ones. Now combat had been introduced in the illegal street racing scene around here. Technically, combat was already there in the illegal street racing scene in the form of crashing and bashing. But what happened with the delivery that was supposed to be for LaGrange took it up to the next level.
Animo and Kaze both tried squishing Ben's car using theirs. Ben was finding it hard to get out of their grips, so he used NOS again. Fortunately it worked. However, Ben ended up crashing into a tollbooth slowing him down a bit.
SMASH!
"Agh! Shit!"
SLAM!
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!
"AGH! GODDAMMIT! TAKE THIS!"
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-
Ben and LaGrange used their cars' guns against each other. However, LaGrange also had something else. He fired two small missiles towards Ben. "AAAHHH!" Ben shouted as he tried avoiding them using more NOS. But the missiles barely missed him and made a part of his car fall off. "Shit!" said Ben, before he kept on driving.
Soon, Ben was crashing LaGrange. But LaGrange was tougher than before, and he was able to make Ben spin into a wall.
SMASH!
SCREEECCCHHH!
While Ben was spinning, Animo and Kaze hit his car and pinned it to another wall with theirs.
SCREEECCCHHH!
SLAM!
SLAM!
"Agh!"
SLAM!
"Hahaha! We've got him now!"
SCREEECCCHHH!
After Ben's car was pinned to the wall, LaGrange, Kaze and Animo came out. They then readied their new weapons which were laser guns and got ready to fire at Ben. But Ben wasn't going to let them get him, he took out his gun and started firing.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW!
The laser guns could do more damage than a real gun, some of their lasers hit Ben's car and put some bad damage on it. "HEY!" Ben shouted, before continuing to fire. Soon, people heard gunshots and reported what was happening to the police.
A few seconds later, Ben took cover behind his car. Then, he took the opportunity to drive it out of the scene while his enemies were out of theirs. "Don't let him get away!" yelled LaGrange, before he, Animo and Kaze went back in their cars and chased after Ben again.
FWOOOSSSHHH!
Ben used more nitrous and took the chance to get away from his enemies, he took down the sign of the donut shop again to stop them. And sure enough, it worked. "Oh no! Not again!" the owner of the donut shop said. The owner of the donut shop was Mr. Baumann, he hated street racers because they would use the sign of his donut shop as a "pursuit breaker". But he hated Ben the most because he would keep taking the sign down. "Goddammit Ben Tennyson! One of these days!" he yelled, but it was no use. Ben was gone.
Ben used this window of time that LaGrange, Kaze and Animo were temporarily stopped to find a place to hide. Sure enough, he did. Inside a resort. LaGrange, Kaze and Animo soon passed him. Once the coast was clear, Ben quickly drove off and used NOS again to get as far away from his enemies as possible.
VROOOMMM!
FWOOOSSSHHH!
A Few Minutes Later…
Ben was back in his safehouse again, and with that he decided to take a rest. He had really, really long days ahead of him.
