Twisted Metal: Mad World
06/24/10 at 10:25:02
 
Alright, well this would be my first shot at a Battle fic, so I hope I can make it good. First of all this isn't a prequel, sequel, or remake of any of the games. This is a stand alone story with the same concept and several characters from the series. This story also doesn't play out like a game, though it could be an idea for one, but it plays out like a movie with one ending, so there would be no middles or endings for most of the competitors as by the end of the story most of them will die.

So the basis of this story is that it is set in the year 2157, where most of the world has been destroyed by war. What remained of humanity set out to survive and rebuild civilization until some 150 years later, most of the world is lawless and filled with bandits, raiders, slavers, etc. But one huge chunk of civilization has rose to power over the whole world as becoming the most powerful nation and empire, and this nation is growing stronger and slowly taking over of what is left of the world, dominating all the bandit gangs and resistances. This nation is controlled by a powerful corporation called Calypso Corp., which is leaded by a man of the same name.

Prologue part 1

20 years ago Calypso came to power as a hopeful leader, building a nation of piece and a safe haven for those lost in the wasteland of the world. 11 years ago something tragic had happened to Calypso and his family, people had thought he had died, but one year later he came back a changed man, a ruthless tyrant, a merciless dictator. If you stayed on his good side you wouldn't see his dark side, but if you'd dare to betray him he'd have you killed. But when Mr. Calypso came back, he came back with something that would change mankind forever. He invented a little contest called "Twisted Metal", a demolition derby of 21st century cars and vehicles. He would grant the winner anything from money and fame, to glory or revenge, though some say he has demon powers and can even change reality for the lucky winner, but if you didn't win his contest you would pay... with your life.

10 years and 9 contests later... this next contest is supposed to be bigger and greater than the previous ones. Twisted metal had become a phenomenon in Calypso's Nation. The last 9 contests were televised and broadcast throughout the world, not just Calypso's territory, and had gained popularity especially in the nation's capital, Harbor City (had to put that in somewhere). This Twisted metal had become the Super-bowl of their time, the greatest event of the year that took place on every Christmas Eve. Fans would cheer at the cars charging at each other, guns blazing and rockets, missiles destroying each other, and the people would praise their winner. This year's contest is composed of mercs, assassina, killers, death row inmates, and social misfits... This is where our story starts.

The Twisted Metal logo shows up at an intro of some TV show called Twisted Metal Mania!. This show is what builds up the hype of the twisted metal contest, kind of like a pre-game show.

( A nice montage then plays with some car action and the theme music from twisted metal 2 is played along with it. Its an intro to a TV show as they cut to a camera to see two tv hosts standing)

Host 1: Welcome to Twisted Metal Mania!! Here with all the High Octane action that is Twisted Metal! The compitetion is just a week away and we're here to bring you all the juicy details! (he screams as the studio audience cheers at the excitement.

Host 2: Yup!! Thats right! Twisted Metal is back for its yearly appearence, with all new drivers, new cars, and... rumor has it new battlefields!!

Host 1: All hell yes! And as a special surprise... We have the man, the myth, the legend, and our might leader, who also is the creator of the thing thats is holy of all holyness! Calypso is here and we're going to ask him some questions about the event of the year!

Host 2: But first, now we all remember last years contest.
Host 1: yeah, who wouldn't?
Host 2: It was pretty much the best one yet! And our winner?
Host 1: Oh yeah, Minion the dude in the tanker truck... He dominated that contest!
Host 2: Yeah he did! Here's a montage of last year's winner!

(The montage shows clips of Minion dominating as it crushes other cars with its ramming and flatening cars with its treads, and competley obliterating cars with its missiles. The clip ends and we go back to the show as the first TV host is about to interview Calypso)

TV Host: Now that was immpresive! So Twisted Metal fans here he is... the creator of Twisted Metal Calypso! (The audience cheers as Calypso waves at them) So everyone wants to know? What is the big plan for this one?

Calypso: Well for every Twisted Metal, I like to out do myself. I mean the first one was practically in a stadium with 7 cars, and last years my competition practicallt destroyed Washington D.C and the cities surrounding it. But this year I plan on something of a Global scale. Welcome to Twisted Metal World Tour! (The audience cheers)

Host: That's INSANE!! But I gotta ask? How do you plan on doing this? Moving the cars from one location to another?

Calypso: Easy, teleportation, you see we have been working on teleportation for awhile, and we have figured it out. We have created these Teleportation pods that can teleport matter, such as a car, and send it anywhere in the world.

Host: Whoa! teleportation huh? Sounds like a big deal!

Calypso: Yes a very big deal! In fact this year's contest revolves around this. See let me break it down, Twisted Metal has always been about Survivng and outlasting your opponents, and dominating the rest and come out as the last one standing. Now for this year's contest we have 16 contestants, and there will be a total of 3 rounds, in the first round we pick 4 locations around the world and send 4 drivers and their cars to each one, this is where the teleportation pods come into play. The contestants don't necessarily have to kill anyone right away, because in these locations their is one Teleportation pod hidden somewhere, get to the pod and you advance to the next round and so fourth, but here is the catch, each pod only has enough power to transport two cars and then it is useless. This is where we will see the fighting. Fight for the pod.

Host: Wow thats amazing! So what you're saying is that in the third round their should be 4 competitors left?

Calypso: Possibly, it could be 4 or just 1 or maybe even 6. You see the goal is to get to Harbor City by New Year's Eve, now you could get there without using the teleportation pods, unless you are not on the same continent, then you'd better have a boat or you are screwed. Once they get to My Stadium in Habor City, their cars will be repaired and ammo refilled and prepared for the final round where their is only one winner. Now before that these participants are on their own, they have to keep their own car repaied and fueled up and they shouldn't try to use up all their ammo to. Oh and here is the best part, Raiders and bandits, if you are watching this then I encourage you to attack our contestants, because not only do they have to combat themselves, they have to worry about outside dangers as well.

Host: Sounds pretty sweet! Well thats all the time we have for today! A big thanks to Calypso (Gives Calypso a handshake) Now tune in tommorrow for our top 5 deaths... And remember... Will you drive?
(The show's credits starts to roll as the camera zooms out to reveal it was showing on a TV somewhere)

Somewhere in Nevada, there is a bar filled with Bandits and normal wastelanders. On the same TV screen Twisted Metal Mania had just went off, a man walks by it heading toward the back of the bar, he sees a shady looking charcter sittin at a table alone and in the dark. The man walks over and sits right across from him.

Man: Are... are you Mr. Kane?

Marcus: Yeah that'd be me. (as he downs the rest of his drink, sets the mug down) but call me Marcus.

Man: Oh good I've been looking for someone like you, for your services.

Marcus: What kind mister? Do you need someone killed like everybody else who gives a damn to talk to me?

Man: Uh... Its a little more complicated then that. You ever here of that Twisted Metal Contest?

Marcus: Oh... yeah what of it?

Man: Well I need someone to enter it and end it.

Marcus: (starts to chuckle) Mister your asking the wrong guy... I'm just some wastelander thug, who kills and steals for money.

Man: But Mr. Kan... uh I mean Marcus... I really need help with this and I've heard stories about your talents and I believe you can end it.

Marcus: No thanks... Not interested. (stands up grabs coat and starts to walk away)

Man: But sir I'll pay you anything... I'm richer than you think, money, women, power whatever you want. (Marcus stops and thinks and turns around)

Marcus: Even if I did do it, I'm not even in the contest.

Man: Oh don't worry about that I have that planned already all I need is you. (Walks up to Marcus and extends for a hand shake)

Marcus: (Stares at the man's hand thinking about it) Well... Ok, but just because I'm a sucker for bribes. (Shakes the man's hand) Who are you anyway?

Man: Me... I'm a man that has lost everything... Thanks to that hellish contest... But you... You will change that and the lives of all the people in this wasteland once you win this.

Marcus: Yeah sure I will... (Puts on coat and walks away)

Man: I'll contact you later about it... (as Marcus leaves)

End of Part 1. Part 2 will be up soon

Well I hope atleast some of you liked it. Some feedback would be appreciated. Also this might get kind of long so I'll try to make it the best I can.

Prologue part 2

The intro to TMM plays. The studio audience cheers as the host is standing on stage.

Host: Welcome back to TMM! Twisted Metal is only a day away! (He points to the countdown wall be hind him as it reads 24:37... 24:36) But in the mean time we have interviews with some of this year's contestants. We sent our coorrespondent Stacy Storm!

The audience cheers again as a montage is shown.

Darkside
Stacy stands with a camera crew at the site of a garage. They walk up to a black semi-truck, where Mister Ash, a man wearing jeans and a long-sleeved blue button up shirt drenched in dry blood, can be seen working on it.

Stacy: Good evening Mr. Ash, we are TMM and we would like to ask you some questions about Twisted Metal?
(Mr. Ash stops working on it and turns to face the camera)

Mr. Ash: yeah what about it?!... (he says angerily)

Stacy: Well we were wanting to know why you are competing for in this ye...

Mr. Ash: I'm competin for something stolen from me by your precious king Calypso... and when I get it there will be no more Twisted Metal! Now leave I still got some work to do!

Stacy: Oh well... Ok. (signals to the camera to stop rolling)

Spectre and Pit Viper
Stacy:I'm Standing here with two of the three girls of Twisted Metal! So tell us how does it feel to be in a contest usually dominated by men?

Angela: Look it doesn't matter who we go against in this contest, man, women, hell even death himself, we are going to dominate this game and leave this cruddy town with riches!
(Mary puts her arm around Angela)
Mary: Yeah and we'll kick alot of men ass! (Looks straight into the camera) So men bring it on because we are coming out on top!

Stacy: Interesting, well you two do realize that there can be only one winner in this contest right?

Mary: Well there just going to make an exception for this year's contest... (they walk away)

Stacy: Ok well there went Spectre and Pit Viper... Best of luck to them.

Hammerhead
Stacy: I'm standing next to Catfish and his vehicle of choice (The camera man zooms out to show a giant monster truck with Stacy and Catshs are standing at the bootom of it) This huge Monster truck called "Hammerhead"!

Catfish: (Chugs the rest of his beer and then belches)... Yeah how you doin sweetheart?

Stacy: Uh... Yeah hi... So tell us? You claim to be the best Twisted Metal competitor ever? Ho do you come to that conclusion?

Catfish: Well lady, You see I'm just a natural born competitor. I love the thrill of a competition... and I love it more to beat the losers. So I know I was born to win this (Crumbles the beer can in his hand and throws it down, then grabs the camera as to speak to the people watching) Oh and if any of the other so-called Competitors are watching this, then you'd best be the best or I'm Going to CRUSH YOU!!  (pushes camera away and then leaves)

Stacy: Alright that was Hammerhead... Ready to crush the competition! (Laughs at her own pun then signals the camera to stop)

Axel
Stacy: I'm standing here with this android contestant Mr. Axel and his vehicle (shows two gigantic wheels with a platform in the middle and and a compartment that looks like it can hold a person inside) So tell us Mr. Axel? How does this vehicle of yours work?

Axel: Sure... (he says as he walks on to the platform, it brings him up and he sticks his arms in to the sockets going to the wheels, The contraption turns on and a metal plates move and cove his body)

Stacy: Wow! Now that we know what protects you from bullets, but what about missiles?

Axel: Well I do have this sonic force field installed that protects me from explosions, but it only works for a shot while.

Stacy: Impressive! Well with you being scientist, creating your cybernetic limbs, and this vehicle of yours. What could you possibly compete for?

Axel: Well I have this need to be normal, when I lost my limbs I was fired and my life went downhill... So when I win I'm going to get my limbs and life back.

Stacy: Well best of luck to you Axel!...(looks at camera) This year's contest will be the best yet!

We are back at the studio.

Host: Well those were some good interviews Stacy! But to you folks at home we have one more interview with the most controversal contestant ever in Twisted Metal history!! Needls Kane!... Thats right the clown serial killer. Here's Stacy wit a live interview.

Sweet Tooth
Stacy: (Whispering as her and one camera man walk in Blackfiel Asylum to the Lock down area where they are holding Needles) We are in Blackfield Asylum right now. The warden has agreed to let us interview him before the contest tommorrow.
(They walk in to the lockdown room, and we see the room has four guards in each corner of the room and Needles is chained and shackled down in the middle of a room with a table and a chair on the other side for Stacy to sit in)
Stacy:...Uh... Mr. Kane.. uh.

Needles: (leans in closer to Stacy, with his masked face and head on fire) Whats a matter... Do I frighten you?

Stacy: Uh... No not at all (she begins to sweat nervously) So uh... tell us why do you do the things you do?

Needles: What kill? (Stacy nods) Well... hmm.. You know I haven't really thought about it. I guess I do it because its fun.

Stacy: Fun... But you kill people... innocent people.

Needles: Yeah but you see its a profession of mine and I made a career out of it . I mean you see garbage men take out garbage of firemen put out fires but they don't get arrested for ir.

Stacy: But you are killing people innocent...

Needles: You see theres that word again "Innocent". Tell me, do you like this Twisted Metal. This demolition derby where thousands of people watch people kill each other and they cheer when someone dies in a huge fireball. answer me that? Do you?

Stacy: Well yeah but...

Needles: I mean I'll admit that I can be a Sadistic Bastard at times. But this Death Contest brings sadistic to a whole new level. Men, women, and children watching as people slaughter one another, but don't get me wrong I'am going to enjoy being in this contest, but this just comes to show you that these innocent aren't so innocent are they? Where I come from (leans in closer and his tone changes to a serious and more threatening tone) Nobody is Innocent!

Stacy: (Left speechless, just moves on to the next question) Um... so your father Charlie Kane, was the winner of the first Twisted Metal competing as Yellow Jacket and he competed in the second...

Needles: You must know alot about me? Heh sking me questions about my father and my early life, like how did I get this way! Well if you know so much abot me... then you will know that I'm very resourceful... (All the chains and shackles immediatly fall off of him as he is now free)

Quickly from the right of Needles the guard comes at him with a stun baton but Needles grabs his arm and pulls him toward the table and slams his head hard on the surface, the guard falls to the ground bleeding, meanwhile the guard from the left attacks Needles with the stun baton, but all it does is agitate Needles as all he does is turn around and grabs the guard using him as a meatshield, he goes for the guard's gun and pulls it out of the holster and points at the other two guards.

The guards also pull their guns out, but then look at each other and throw their guns on the floor, "Pushovers" ,Needles says, as he shoots both the guards in the head, then lets go of the guard he was holding but grabs a hold of the neck and snaps it. Needles walks toward the table and looks at the guard that had fell to the floor and he shoots him. Needles's flame then grows as he grabs his head in pain and keeps himself up by leaning on the table.

"Stacy we really need to get the he..." says the camera man, but is interrupted by a gunshot to the throat by Needles, he then pushes the table out of the way between him and Stacy. Stacy then looks at Needles then tries to run but Needles grabs her by the neck. He brings he up, feet no longer touching the ground, and he begins to choke her but then he looks at the camera, he then throws Stacy on the ground, who is gasping for air.

Needles grabs the camera and looks straight into it. "People of Habor City, as you can see I'm free now and when I win this game of yours... Nobody will be safe!" He begins to laugh as he drops the camera and cruches it with his foot. He turns his attention back to Satcy, who is trying to grab one of the guard's guns. "I wouldn't do that if I were you.", he says as he kicks the gun away. Stacy screams as Needles picks her up and uses her as a meatshield. Two guards then run into the room only to be shot dead by Needles.

"Let me go you FREAK!!" she screams while struggling in Needle's arms. They get halfway down the hallway when Stacy begins to hit him. "Calm the Fuck DOWN!" Needles says. He hits her with the bottom of the gun and she starts to bleed. "Oh come on don't die on me now!".

Needles makes it to the next room which is filled with guards, who have all their guns pointed at him and Stacy. "Well aren't I just tardy to the party!" He exclaims. "Its over Needles just let the girl go!", says one of the guards. "But then you guys won't get to see my surprise..." The guards look at each other confused. Needles grabs Stacy's arm to look at her watch. "Sweet... perfect timing it'll be here in 3... 2..." The guards the here a honk coming from outside as Needles backs up and Boom! A missile shoots through the wall and kills all of the guards.

Needles then walks out of the missile made whole, with Stacy. "All Remote conteolled cars... don't you love them?" Needles walks to the back of Sweet Tooth opens the doors and throws her in. "I'm going to give you a chance to get to know me better, me and you... We're gonna have a hell of a time!" He laughes as he closes the doors, locks them and drives away.

Battle Preview

Calypso is sitting in a hospitable room next to some kind of special pod that is providing life support for the person inside. He is talking to the person inside lightly, when his assistant Jackson, walks in.

Calypso: What is it Jackson?! (He says while still facing the pod)

Jackson: Its Needles sir, he has escaped Blackfield... Should I send...

Calypso: No don't worry about it... We got to prepare for the show. (as he looks at his watch)

Jackson: But sir he's killed over 20...

Calypso: I said not to worry about it!... Trust me he'll be at Twisted Metal... Now go and prepare for the show.

Jackson: Yes sir. (He leaves the room)

Calypso: Well honey... I gotta go, its showtime! (he kisses the girl in the pod on the forehead and then leaves)

As Calypso leaves, the door to the pod closes and there is an engraving on it that reads K. Sparks

Calypso's stadium is filled millions of people chanting Twisted Metal! There's a big jumbo screen in the middle of the stadium for all of the audience to see. A platform in the middle opens up and it raises with Calypso standing on it.

Calypso: Ladies and Gentlemen... Welcome to Twisted Metal!!! (The audience cheers with excitement) Now lets get right to the point here, right to the High Octane action. All of our contestants are accounted for... yes even the clown. As most of you know by now the goal of the game is to find the teleportation pod by any means necceassary, for the first round we are sending four contestants and their cars to four differant locations, which are chosen by random. But there is one problem... The pods only allow two cars to make the teleportation, which should make it quite exciting. So without further ado lets pick our location.(he points at the Jumbo screen)

The screen then flashes 6 differant locations real quickly and then stops on one. L. A.

Calypso: L.A.! A place filled with gangs and raiders... perfect for Twisted Metal. This place is definatly going to be hard to navigate through especially if you lose the teleportation pods. Now lets pick our contestants for this Battleground.

The Jumbo screen then flashes all 16 contestants and stops on the first: Mr. Grimm, second: Darkside, third: Peacemaker, fourth: Sweet Tooth. The audience cheers.

Calypso: Wow! This is going to be one hell of a battle, and we'll be catching every minute of it with our Twistd Cam, which our these flying pods that fly aroud the battlefield and catch all the great action courtesy of Calypso Corp. No lets be gin Twisted Metal!

Mr. Grimm, Darkside, Peacemaker, and Sweet Tooth all drive to the teleportation station and get read for The Battle of L.A.
End

Next up obviously The Battle Of Los Angeles

Nice, i like your fresh take on the contest. It seems a little hastily written at times, that's my only criticism. I like the way you personified your Catfish and Needles characters.

The Battle over L.A. part 1

Los Angeles, a city once filled with men and women and children. A city where Hollywood stars would flock about there movies and TV series. This is no longer that same city. What was formerly L.A. is now a war-torn city, a gang war to be exact. Differant groups of raiders and gangs hold differant parts of the city, as territory signs can be seen all over buildings and walls. But on this day, December 24th of 2157 Twisted Metal starts its world tour in the City of Angels.

In a back alley somewhere downtown, a bright light flashes and what appears to be out of nowhere, an ice cream truck appears appropiatly named Sweet Tooth. The truck emerges from the alley and drives around downtown, where the driver sees people walking on the sidewalks, people dressed in leather armor and leather masks holding guns. The driver figures they must be a gang. He comes to a road block of former 21st centry cars piled up, and several dozen armed men walk out of the shadows to confront him. "I think your lost partner." Says there leader. "Do you know where you are Mr. Ice cream man?... Your in raider territory, and we don't take to kindly to intruders in our territory!" The men then begin to surround the truck. "oh yeah... this is going to be fun." smirks Needles as he activates his machine guns. the men get closer and Needles pulls the triggers and the bullets rip through the men like a hot knife through butter. The air is filled with Needle's laughter.

Elseware on a free way another bright light flashes, and a black semi-truck emerges immediatly driving down the free way. Not much is known about the driver, only that he seeks something stolen from him. The truth is this driver, Mr. Ash, is after the Necronomicon, or the Book of the dead, rumor is Calypso uses this to grant wishes for the winners of Twisted Metal, but at dire consequences.

Darkside continues on down the freeway, Mr. Ash keeps looking at the GPS in his cab for the teleportation pod. He looks at his rearview mirrow and notices a car following him, but its none of the Twisted Metal contestants. The car gets closer, He recongnizes it it as a slaver car, the people in the vehicle behind him begin to open fire on the semi truck. Ash then notices a van coming up in front of him coming from an exit. "Its an ambush." Ash thought to himself. The van the stops with it being 100 feet in front of him and the car right behind him, he notices the van has a grenade launcher mounted on top and it begins shooting at him, the first few hits make contact with the grill of Darkside.

"You guys wanna play huh?" He says as he presses a button which makles the spikes on the grill enlarge, and he speeds up. The side door of the van opens up and a man with an RPG aims and fires. Darkside merely moves out of the way and the rocket propelled grenade hits the car behind him sending it flying off the freeway. "Ah stupid, stupid Slavers..." He says, while he presses the turbo and competely demolishes the van leaving it in pieces. Darkside continues to drive along the freeway.

Sorry guys but thats all the time I have for this one. I'm afaid I won't be near my computer again for atleast a week, so this will be my last post for atleast a week, when I have time. So I quickly wrote this up because I didn't want to just leave with out leaving anything for you guys to read. Well I'll be back in a week.

I just have on question: If its 2157, why is everyone still using cars that are presumably from the 21st century? Wouldn't they be incredibly obsolete? shouldn't there be hover cars that drive themselves now? Or I guess the destroyed state of the world has led to few technological innovations? I suppose that's plausible

Ok guys I'm back!

Reebok - Yes Darkside's driver and backstory is a total reference to Ash and the Evil Dead series, so feel free to make a joke.

Maxamillionaire - Well I did think of them being hover cars instead of plain old 21st century cars, but i thought it would be to different and complicated to explain. The world in this story has mostly been torn apart from war, which would leave people to busy rebuilding civilization instead of making hovercars, though Calypso did invent teleportation pods, which could make a plot hole like how can they have teleportation but not hovercars, but Calypso gained that power through a unknown force. Just think of this world being similar to the Half-life world, where they have some advance technology, like the gravity gun, but they still drive cars around. Also the drivers added some futuristic upgrades to their cars, like car bodies that can with stand several missile hits, where as today you could probably destroy an ice cream truck with just an RPG. Eh I hope that answers your question.

Part 2
Somewhere in the suburbs, a car is driving down a street. The car is filled with four men belonging to a gang. The man riding shot gun notices something eerie going on behind a long-abandoned grocerey store, a bright light flashes. "Hey guys! Theres something over there!", says the man instucting the driver to check it out. The car turns toward the strange flashes, as they get closer all four men hear the sound of a motorcycle. A man on a motorcycle goes speeding by the car, cutting them off and going uphill on a road, with the car following it. "Looks like we got some company boys!" says the driver. "Now please aim for the driver this time... It's the bike we are after!", the driver demands, the three passengers ready their arms, with sub machine guns and rifles.

The man on the motorcycle goes by the name "Mr. Grimm" and is perhaps the most mysterious of all the contestants. This man's appearance and identity is competely covered by a leather jacket, pants, boots, and he wears a helment that covers his whole head and face. The man also has a long chain wrapped around his body like a bandolier of sorts, one end wraps around his right arm and the other has a blade of a scythe at the end of it, and a bag, filled with grenades and different kinds of explosives, on his back.

The car behind Grimm begins to speed up, the man riding shot gun leans outside the window and takes the first shots, the bullets make contact and go right through the man's chest, but it doesn't seem to effect him. Grimm just looks down at his chest and see's three bullet holes in his jacket, looks behind him to see the car speeding up with all the men leaning out of it guns in hand. Grimm pulls on his brakes and quickly makes 180degree turn. Now speeding toward the car, Grimm reaches for something in his bag. All the men in the car begin to fire at him, but he quickly swerves to the right and throws something toward the car, while doing so. The object he threw goes right throught the cars windshield and impales one of the men in the backseat, the men look at the object out of curiousity, and the end point of it starts to beep and blink. As quickly as the object made it's way inside the car, an explosion came from it taking out everyone in the car, including the car itself.

Mr. Grimm just drove on, not taking a single look at the flaming car behind him. Grimm makes his way to the next block, when he notices a pick up truck ahead of him. The truck has two men in it, both belonging to the same gang as there murdered bretheren, the two men speed up towards Grimm, with the passenger holding a shot gun and aiming right at Grimm's bike. Grimm quickly pulls his scythe out and throws it with the chain attached to it. The blade finds its way into the drivers chest and Grimm pulls the man out the truck, causing it to flip over upside-down. The driver's body gets thrown some 20-30 feet away, and Grimm stops his bike and pulls out a Uzi from his bag and begins shooting at the flipped-over truck until it explodes. Grimm retracts his scythe and drives away.

Meanwhile a bright light flashes in the center of a parking lot somewhere, its a car by the name of Peacemaker, and the driver, who calls himself the Judge and swears to protect the innocent and defeat the evil. Peace maker drives around the area for a few minutes. He notices that this part of the city is just a mere ghost town, but then suddenly he hears some gun fire coming from a distance, he stops the car and waits and watches. It sounded like a gun fight happening behind a building half a mile away, then an explosion can be seen in the distance, The Judge prepares for action. He looks closer to see a vehicle driving away from the building, it doesn't take him too long to realize that the car is Sweet Tooth.

"This is it..", the Judge thinks to himself while making his way toward the ice cream truck. "Its my chance to take out this monster!", he targets Sweet Tooth with his javelin missiles, he gets closer and fires. Needles notices the Peacemaker behind him,"Finally some competition!", he exclaims. Needles realizes he has been targeted and there are missiles heading for him at this moment, quickly he pushes the flares button and missile flares scatter from the clown head on top of Sweet Tooth. The flares successfully stop two of the three missiles, but the third hits the left side of Sweet Tooth causing the door to bend inward forcing Needles to swerve and nearly crash into some wreckage on the road. Needles, a little irriatated, hits the door and kicks it off the car and on to the street. The Judge, siezing the moment, fires a power missile toward the Truck, but Needles barely dodges it, turning left at the intersection, the missile goes on and hits a broken down car, competely destroying it.

"Alright... lets step it up mister hero!", Needles pushes a button that opens the back doors to the Truck and he grabs a box and throws it out in front of the path of Peacemaker and pulls a detonator switch. Peacemaker only had a split second to move away from the box before it exploded, the explosion almost sent the car flipping but the Judge had remained in control. Sweet Tooth closes it's back doors as Peacemaker begins to send a hail of bullets toward Sweet Tooth. Needles, swerving left and right trying to avoid the bullets as much as possible, see's that the street he is on leads up to a broken freeway ramping off onto a rooftop of a building, which was probably caused by an earthquake. Sweet Tooth speeds up and ramps off onto the roof top, with Peacemake following closely behind.

Both cars land on the rooftop, Sweet Tooth drives to the other side and fortunately there was a ramp leading to another roof top and so on. Needles looks in his rearview mirror and just can't seem to shake off the Judge. Sweet Tooth shoots a power missile ahead of him at the base of a tower, which causes it to fall to another rooftop to create a bridge between the two. Sweet Tooth gets half way across the former tower turned bridge and plants another bomb and waits for Peacemaker to cross, Peace maker gets half way across, when Needles detonates the bomb causing the bridge to break in half and fall to the streets, but Peacemaker, at turbo speed, ramps from the falling bridge and lands on the same roof as Sweet Tooth. Needles, slightly more irriatated, chages at Peacemaker guns blazing. Peacemaker quickly moves out of the way nearly sending Sweet Tooth off the rooftop and down 15 stories.

Sweet Tooth and Peacemaker were now driving side by side on the roof tops, both ramming and bumping into each other on the sides, trying to send eachother falling to the streets below. Finally Sweet Tooth manages to push Peacemaker onto another rooftop, separating the two cars. This gives Needles time to grab a grenade launcher from the back. It doesn't take too long for Peacemaker to get back with Sweet Tooth, but this time Sweet Tooth had a surprise. As Peacemaker got closer, Needles shot two grenades at the car, the first hitting the passenger side , nearly killing the Judge, and the second hit the right wheel causing the car to turn into a three-wheeler.

Peacemaker slows down, as sparks fly from its missing wheel. The Judge tries to keep up with Sweet Tooth but can't. Out of desparation, Peacemaker begins to fire it's missiles at Sweet Tooth, but the first grenade damaged his targeting. The missiles going left and right hitting nothing and explosions around the whole area. Sweet Tooth takes advantage over this momentand throws a couple thermite grenades outside in front of the spark making car that was Peacemaker. The grenades go off, setting Peacemaker a blaze. Sweet Tooth stops at the current rooftop that leads to nothing but the streets way below. Needles watches as the now flaming Peacemaker, speeding up and not slowing down, ramp off the side of the building, and right at the moment when the car that was peacemaker is high up in the sky, Sweet Tooth launches a homing missile that makes perfect contact and Peacemaker explodes. Needles chuckles and drives off and looks at his radar... The pod is close by.

Part 3
Mr. Grimm is riding through the streets of L.A., seeking the teleportation pod. He looks back and sees a couple of Calypso's camera drones, they've been following him for quite a while, ever since he destroyed those other two cars. He looks away at the street ahead of him, ignoring the drones behind him. He notices something in the sky, another camera drone, but this one is coming from a different direction. Grimm stops for a moment and realizes the drone is coming right toward him, but it seems its following something... Suddenly a semi-truck abruptly plows through a building wall from the other side and is heading right for Grimm. Grimm however, evades the spikes charging at him from the grill of the truck. The truck now going the opposite direction as Grimm, steps on the brakes and does a 180, now facing Grimm, it is Darkside and he is ready for a fight.

Both Grimm and Ash sit on/in their vehicles, glaring at each other. Both of these men have unknown motives for competing in this mad contest, but both want something that Calypso has, that much is clear. Grimm stares at the driver in the cab of the truck, who's eyes begin to glow bright red and hands grasp the steering wheel, Grimm acts as he has met this driver before. Mr. Ash stares back at the biker, who's face remains hidden by a motorcycle helmet, the biker seems determined to win this one, but Ash has dealt with death before, and he will again right now. Ash then pulls the horn letting out the sound and some supernatural wave that causes Grimm's senses to become distorted, Darkside then charges at the motorcycle. Grimm quickly turns his bike around and takes off, but his distorted senses cause him to swerve all over the road trying to keep balance, with Darkside right behind him. Darkside then shoots a white laser beam at Grimm, who barely dodges it again, and again. The beams, creating big potholes, shoot ahead of Grimm, attempting to wreck the motorcycle. Right, left, right, Grimm swerves the now jagged street thanks to Darkside's beams. Grimm's vision still distorted, though it doesn't keep him from defending himself. He grabs his blade from the end of the chain and begins to drag the blade along the pavement, creating a line of fire following right behind him. Darkside thinks nothing of it as he just drives through the fire, but the line of fire acts as a line of mines working like domino effect. The explosions cause Darkside to slow down and nearly spin out of control, allowing Grimm to slip further ahead.

Grimm looks ahead at this building, leaning toward the street he is driving on, he looks back at Darkside, who is further away, but is gaining on him. Grimm decides to act and fires a power missile at the base of the leaning building, which causes the building to start collapsing across the street and landing on Grimm if he weren't on a motorcycle. Darkside falls for Grimm's trap following right behind him. Grimm, being 100 feet ahead, stops and looks at Ash and gives him a nod and points up. Ash, kind of puzzled at that, looks up to see that a building is collapsing right on top of him. Darkside is not quick enough to escape the falling building, so the it falls on top of the semi truck, seemingly crushing it. Grimm now looks at the rubble spreading across the street rather victoriously, but then he hears something coming from the rubble. Grimm looks more closely at a certain spot in the rubble, and sees something moving, then he hears that familiar horn sound. Grimm, slightly irritated, drives away as the semi-truck known as Darksied emerges from the rubble, with only but a few scratches on it.

"You can't get rid of me that easily!", exclaims Mr. Ash as he speeds off after Grimm. Driving around street corners and navigating through a streets of dead cars, Grimm is speeding in to the heart of L.A. With Darkside following right behind, bashing and plowing through dead cars and debris. Grimm can't seem to catch a break, as he rides further along the street. Darkside begins to catch up and is arming his missiles, he fires one, but misses the biker. He begins to fire another one, but Grimm makes a quick move to the left into a 10 foot high narrow ditch created by an earthquake. Darkside follows close behind.

Grimm begins to realize that this was a bad move, because he is now stuck in this tunnel like ditch with a big semi-truck right behind him, going non-stop, and the ditch is too narrow for Grimm to turn around and pass the truck, and the walls are too high to turn and jump to get away from the truck. Looks like there is only one way to go for Grimm, and that is straight ahead, With Darkside just one ram away.

Seeing as how narrow this path is, Darkside speeds up and begins firing its machine guns. Grimm, going left, then right, can’t seem to get out of the path of the bullets, a normal man would have been killed by all these bullets, but this man on the motorcycle wasn’t normal. The bullets could not kill Grimm, but they did slow him down. Darkside speeds up and parallels Grimm from the right of him, side-by-side the truck begins to move toward the bike and grinding it to the wall. Grimm, stuck between the ditch wall and the truck, looks down at his legs getting crushed and mangled and his own bike sending sparks everywhere from the friction of the concrete wall and the side of his bike, not to mention his leg catch fire from the friction. Quickly Grimm reaches in his bag and pulls out a double-barrel, sawed-off  shot gun, turns around and looks straight into the red glowing eyes of Mr. Ash, and sends two shells, point blank, into the face of the truck driver. Darkside then pulls away from the bike, letting Grimm free as he speeds up. Grimm looks back at the driver only to see that he his still alive, even with a chunk of his head missing. It is as Grimm had thought, the driver of the truck is not alive, but a body possessed by a demon known as Black, who is the guardian of the Necronomicon.

Ash, whose brains are leaking from the side of his head, angrily speeds up and prepares another weapon, a ricochet. “Lets see if you can escape this!”, he yells out, launching the ricochet. The mobile bomb bounces from wall to wall, making it nearly-impossible to evade it. Grimm, looking back and counting on his timing to evade the bomb,  quickly pulls on his breaks and performs a wheelie, the ricochet zooms right underneath the front wheel of the bike. Grimm almost bit the dust as his front wheel goes back down and the ricochet continues on down the ditch, but letting his guard down, Darkside engages his spikes and speeds up on Grimm. Grimm looks back and then quickly speeds up, after nearly getting impaled from the spikes.

Mr. Grimm continues on down the ditch, with Darkside following right behind. . Grimm takes a quick glance back at the truck and sees it preparing to shoot several missiles, he looks ahead, only to see in his amazement, that the Ricochet missile is coming right back in there direction. Ash seems to notice it to as he starts to fire his machine guns, in a attempt to make Grimm fall right into the ricochets path, but it fails as Grimm moves out of the path and Darkside’s own weapon comes back against him. The ricochet hit’s the front of the truck, taking out both the front wheels.

“NOO!!” screams Mr. Ash, now in a vehicle that can’t turn, nonetheless Ash now pulls to full speed right for Grimm. Darkside, though going at ramming speed, slows down and Grimm begins to put quite a distance between him and the spiked grill of that truck. Finally Grimm sees the ending to this ditch, that leads to an open area, which he will take full advantage over. However Ash quickly ends that thought as he fires his two power missiles forward straight toward Grimm, who again evades them by sliding his bike completely on the ground and the missiles going right over him. But the missiles didn’t work in complete vain as the missiles hit the bashes of two buildings near the end of the ditch, causing them to fall and block the path for Grimm. Grimm stopped at the now blocked path, there was no way he could get passed it, he looked back at the semi-truck speeding towards him. Grimm grabbed his scythe blade and sped straight on a head-on collision coarse with the semi-truck, with one-last plan in mind.

This was perfect for Ash, all he had to do was keep on the gas pedal and he would completely crush the motorcycle and plow through the barricade he created. Grimm however, had a plan in mind, as he began spinning the chain above his head, and the scythe caught fire through some supernatural force. Grimm and Darkside were now getting closer to an head on collision. Ash began laughing as he sounded his horn and pressed turbo. The two were now just seconds away, when Grimm took this moment and threw his blade straight at the truck. The blade then cut through the truck, splitting Darkside in half and setting it a blaze at the same time. As the truck split apart, Grimm just drove through the space he created with his blade, driving through the two parts of the same truck. Grimm stopped and looked back after he drove through his former opponent , the two sides of Darkside split apart and rammed straight into the barricade only to both explode as they came in contact with the wall. Grimm look straight ahead and rides away, leaving the smoldering remains of Darkside at the end of the ditch.
