Famous in Paradise

For Viral, the downside to doing everything in Paradise City was that she had nothing left to do. All events completed, every gate, billboard, and jump completed. She had every car in her garage including the limited editionsBig Surf Island cars. She even had taken the time to finish Big Surf Island itself. She had the choice to return to Wing City and run Perfect Shift, but at the same time that was just for fun. No risk of some pony or something taking over Equestria. There were some incidents, the qualifier had gone well until the very end with the crash and subsequent police take down. At the very least she was aware that the next series of events had started. She needed to stay here for the sake of Akula, Twilight, and the others. Even if Danger was constantly wanting to bed her. She could have told him she was a lesbian, even though she was technically bisexual. Viral needed a way to think straight.

She passed by the repair shop that was in Palm Bay Heights and parked in the garage. Akula had straight up left after Fluttershy had been released. Twilight and Applejack were helping her readjust to being herself again. Danger, thankfully, went somewhere completely different from where she had gone. She had some time to herself. She turned on the radio.

My Curse, Killswitch Engage.

She left the garage and stopped at the intersection on Franke and Young. On it was a race to the Wind Farm. Perhaps she did need something to do. She spun her tires, signalling the start of the event. It was DJ-PON3's voice that came through the radio, she missed Atomica.

Race west to the Wind Farm.

As the light turned green Viral surged ahead northeast as two Jansen X12's, a 500GT, and a Touge Sport blasted off ahead of her. She also had a Tempesta and another X12 behind her with a P12 struggling to keep pace. In total, eight cars.The cluster of cars immediately hooked a left onto 7th and launched into the tunnel. one of the X12's slammed the 500GT into a passenger car in front of Viral. She used her expertise to avoid the wreck which collected the silver Tempesta behind her.

"Not sure if I should be thankful or upset that it wasn't Danger's Tempesta." She joked with herself.

The race continued through and out the other side of the tunnel. The Touge Sport lead with both X12's second and third. It was a slight sense of Deja Vu for Viral as this was the exact path she took when she met the others. No time to indulge, she was only fourth. the X12 in front of her was a pearlescent red/green and the one in second a metallic blue. She couldn't quite make out the Touge yet. The pair of X12's had an exchange, the blue one slamming the red/green one into the wall and taking it down. Viral made her move on the remaining X12. She shunted it into the divider on E. Lake Drive. The car crunched up just like the Opus XS had before. It was morbid, but contact was encouraged in Paradise City.

She raced up the road in pursuit of the leader, the Touge Sport. She finaly caught up to it as it cut the parking lot on Cannon Pass, and she mirrored the action. She gained ground as both cars turned left onto Nelson. She finally got a good look at the Touge she was racing. Dark blue with the green and red stripes of a scheme one finish. She managed to close the gap as they entered Uphill Drive side by side. She was on the outside on the first turn and the Touge used her as a moving wall, pinching her slightly as it took the corner. On the next turn she forced her GT Concept forward. Whoever was driving this Touge was very confident about their ride. She managed to clear the other racer going into the final turn. A well executed slide allowed her to maintain the lead. She crested the hill, victorious once again. The Touge finished second, not far behind at all. It was followed by the 500GT then all three X12's and then the Tempesta and P12.

"Another day, another win for the most famous driver of them all." Viral complemented herself, parking her GT Concept along the side of N. Mountain Drive as every other racer passed by carelessly. All except for the Touge, which had parked itself a few meters behind her, on the opposite side of the road. The car was still running, and the occupant made no intentions of exiting the vehicle.

Viral glanced at her mirror intently, something was amiss, she knew it. Then another vehicle stopped in front of her. It was not a car from the previous race, rather it was a stock scheme Pioneer Super Gator. Then also a Silver inferno van.

That was when Viral realized the path ahead of her was blocked, by two vehicles that could crush hers and eat it too. She intended to back away slowly.

The Touge had already filled her mirror.

"So, we're doing this again huh? Suit yourself."

Once again she spun her tires, pulling slightly forward. She then spun the GT Concept around the Touge and punched it back down Uphill. She decided she didn't want another chase for the day and decided to go cliff jumping. She went the full distance and didn't look back. Thankfully none of the three vehicles had decided to follow her down the cliff. She immediately headed for the closest junkyard. The one her small group had set up shop at.
