Chapter 1 - After the Escape Through the PortalView OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 1 - After the Escape Through the PortalIt was all quiet in Danger City with a full moon illuminating up to welcome anybody to the neon, futuristic sights of Central Firespark District where the Legion of Speedfreaks HQ is located at 160th Street and 26th Avenue. Then, a portal ring appeared 10 feet above 131st Street which DangerDean, Rainbow Dash, Aria Blaze. Lightning Dust, Blazey and Sparky Lionfire and Midnight Skies emerged from the portal and now as their human counterparts. Danger meanwhile, was really relaxed now since his primeval enemy, Oscura Galaxia is on the other side of the portal where Paradise City is. After Midnight’s Jansen X12 landed on the ground and the portal was closed. “Feels good to be back in Danger City after crusing around Paradise City for about 3 months.” Danger thought to himself as the seven cars went into cruise mode. Danger was still wearing his Washout-style flight-suit even though his human counterpart couldn’t fly (unless his vehicle was a fighter jet). He hope to get change into his normal attire as soon as he got some rest after a long struggle, courtesy of his eternal nemesis, Oscura Galaxia. He also hoped to switch his red Rossolini Tempesta for a choice of his personal supercars: his Ferrari 812 GTS, his Lamborghini Hurácan Performante or his most favourite custom-built hypercar, the DGR15 Excelsior X. His DGR15 Excelsior X was what he described as a ‘Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300 killer’ with the front design influenced from a Lamborghini Veneno and a Lockheed Martin F-35 V-Lightning II. Powered by a custom-built 9 liter, twin-supercharged W16, giving a 2,350 brake horsepower sucker-punch to any car he overtakes. When he tested on the DangerStar Proving Ground, 150 miles south of Danger City in the Pearl Crystal Mountains. He achieved a top speed of 308 miles per hour. Rainbow can’t wait to test her custom-built hypercar: the Rainbow RD1 Pulsar GTX2400R either. Her hypercar was influenced by the Ford Shelby GT500 Supersnake and Pagani Zonda-R at the front. At the rear however, it was styled to look like a Chengdu J-20 ‘Mighty Dragon’ It has a similar engine to what Danger has on his DGR15 Excelsior X but produces 90 less horsepower but it also has 200 horsepower electric motor as her hypercar is mid-engined like Danger’s hypercar. Unlike Danger’s, Rainbow’s hypercar is a hybrid. It also a top speed of 297 mph. Lightning, Aria, Blazey, Sparky, Blazey and Midnight have still yet to build their own cars as they didn’t enough time because of the Battle of Paradise City. But luckily for them, Danger can give them a helping hand. Midnight then found the sign for 160th Street as they were on 25th Avenue. She turned right with her assoicates following her. But she had a question to ask. “Err... Danger, how do you get in the damn base? What are we supposed to do... Park outside?” “Well Midnight,” Danger replied as he lead Midnight down the street, “This building as an underground car park, I just hope to Celestia there’s a space.” “Err... Why’s that, Danger?” Rainbow than asked on the radio. “The amount of cars that are in this damn car park is astronomically stupid, I keep having to create new spaces for the amount of professional masterpieces I’ve created in the past.” Danger claimed. “Do you know how many vehicles I will have by the next morning.” Rainbow had no clue in the slightest as to what Danger was on about. “No, but do go ahead and tell us how many.” She answered thinking that the number is going to be massive. “7,390,287.” Rainbow’s jaw dropped as the eight cars were looking for a space on floor -4 before Danger found eight free spaces and they all parked in unison. After they all got out their cars, They all headed for the elevator which would lead them towards the ground floor above the production area for all of the Legion’s vehicles e.g. Supercars, hypercars, military vehicles, aircraft etc. This was on floor -1 and it’s also where Danger’s car manufactuering center As they headed for the next lift on the ground floor. This would take them to their personal offices and the living quarters. They were met by a girl who was wearing a t-shirt with a symbolism of two blue fireballs in a ‘X’ formation and a lightning bolt in the middle of the formation. She was also wearing light-turquiose leggings and shoes similar to Sunset’s but with turquoise flames. “There you all are!” The girl gleamed in joy. “You must know somebody by the name of Crimsonia Dragonsfire.” “Why?” Danger wondered as he knew that it must be a relative of Crimsonia. “I’m her sister, Azura Dragonsfire.” Azura then announced as she shook hands with Danger. At first, Danger didn’t know that Crimsonia has a sister to begin with. He also hadn’t seen her in the Battle of Paradise City, just Crimsonia. He wondered what the hell was going on as he pressed the button on the elevator to take him to the second floor where his room is while Azura was shaking hands with the rest of Group Nomad. Rainbow then rushed towards Danger and was looking confused with herself and was having the same dilemma that Danger was having 10 seconds eariler, but she didn’t want to talk with him about the dilemma because it may add to the confusion. Also because the Legion of Speedfreak has had enough action for one day, espically Danger, who had been victimized and held at gunpoint by Oscura all in one go. What was worse though it that the traumas were still fresh. He was also shaking off any possible injuries he had when Oscura T-boned his Tempesta back at Paradise. After Danger and Rainbow got out of the elevator. Danger yawned and was ready to doze off because of the action over the last three months. Rainbow saw this and wished Danger a good night sleep. After this, both Danger and Rainbow entered into the quarters and prepared themselves for a long rest. Meanwhile, in Paradise City... “Ugh, my head.” Oscura muttered under her breath as she got up after being shocked by electricity by her former cohort, Midnight Skies after being reformed by DangerDean himself. After about 20 seconds, the remaining members of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness saw Oscura with her leather outfit full of marks from the electric surge and her eyes blood-red with rage. “WHAT HAPPENED!” Oscura demanded as Estrella Dragonheart approached her. “We were outsmarted, they used every single trick they had and what’s worse, is that they knew all along why the 15,000 army...” Estrella explained before being interrupted by a 100psi slap in the face, courtesy of Oscura. “THE ARMY IS GONE, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GUARDING PARADISE AS WE HAVE CLAIMED IT AFTER DANGER AND HIS PATHETIC TEAMMATES... It doesn’t matter, Danger may have won this round, but I will return the destruction he caused to you all a thousandfold! INCLUDING ME!” Oscura snapped as Estrella wanted to slap her back after she rubbed her face with her armoured hoof. But she didn’t but if she did, she would get a bullet from Oscura’s Desert Eagle .50AE into her body. Oscura’s angry eyes spoke a thousand words to Estrella. But before Estrella could speak another word, Shadow Wings then realised something. “Err, Oscura?” She said in her normal voice instead of her Fluttershy’s voice and she is Fluttershy’s enemy. “I do believe that I’m above you now and will from now on... Refer to me as your mistress,” Oscura then annnounced as a interruption. “The same goes Rotten Apple and Anti-Pinks. The exceptions to this new policy are Estrella and Inferno. But what is it you have to say, Shadow Wings?” “Oh, I’m sorry, my mistress,” Shadow Wings apologised, “where’s Midnight Skies?” But before Oscura could reply, Inferno was waiting to tell Shadow Wings why Midnight isn’t not here. “Shadow Wings, I think that Midnight Skies... Had betrayed the Alliance and she had been reformed by DangerDean. The reason I know this is that I saw Danger’s convoy go through a portal to the human world. More specifically, Danger City.” Shadow Wings was surprised but this totally infuriated Oscura and her horn fried a red beam to the sky causing a huge explosion and a cloud with thunder bolts emitting out. “WHY THAT BASTARD OF A PEGASUS!!! SHE INTRODUCED ME TO ESTRELLA, SHE BECAME ONE OF MY ALLIES AND NOW... SHE’S WITH DANGER! I’LL KILL HER AND DANGER FOR THIS!” Oscura shouted in her rage with tears flowing out her eyes. “Er... A word please, Inferno?” Estrella announced to Inferno as Oscura was crying her eyes out. “Is there any way of getting Danger now, since he’s in another world to us, I’m sure Danger City is in the human world but... Why?” “Probably because he wanted safety from us.” Inferno suggested. “Well... We need more than just 7 of us if we’re gonna take on a force of 20 and possibly more. But I know two ponies... Or people if we’re going to the human world.” Estrella then announced. “Who are they, Estrella?” Inferno then asked. “I’ll tell when we get to Oscura City, 100 miles north east of Danger City.” Estrella replied. Estrella then turned her attention to the large tear pool created by Oscura. “We are off to Oscura City now, Oscura!” Estrella called out. “I hope I can plan my revenge on him.” Oscura said, venommously. “You have all the time you’ll need.” Inferno replied. “All right, Oscura City... HERE WE COME!” Oscura then announced as the seven ponies rushed to their cars and headed to a portal that Estrella created and headed for Oscura City.
Chapter 3 - Preparing the Next Move (Part 2 - Raiding the Convoy)View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 3 - Preparing the Next Move (Part 2 - Raiding the Convoy)“Oh, sweet Celestia on a unicycle!” Danger muttered under his breath. “What is it, Danger?” Rainbow asked Danger what it is. “It’s Oscura!” Danger announced. This brought concern between the rest of main 5 members of the Legion: Rainbow, Lightning, Aria and Spitfire. “What’s Oscura Galaxia doing in Danger City?” Aria asked Danger, in a state of confusion. “She’s probably tracking down Midnight Skies, finding me as well is just a bonus.” Danger replied. “Something tells me we need to stop this convoy before it reaches Midnight, the chances are that if we don’t, Midnight’s brain is gonna get corrupted and she will be in the Alliance of Extreme Darkness again.” Lightning suggested as Danger typing on the touch screen on the specification of OSC1 Nemesis that was leading the convoy. “There’s just one thing though.” Aria said, having come to a realisation. Lightning looked at Aria thinking that something was amiss. “Lightning needs a faster car becuase her Jansen XS12 would be left trailing in Oscura’s exhaust pipe.” Aria then explained. “Oscura’s cars are more faster than those we used in Paradise City. Way faster. If she thinks that the XS12 faster than Oscura, your answer would fall quicker than you would expect.” Lightning’s face was written with worry. “But why, Aria?” she asked. “Aria’s right, Lightning.” Danger said as he was still typing on the touch screen. “I did a speed test on the XS12 before I was working on the driveshaft on the Ghostwrath and it clocked at 205 miles an hour so... basically your XS12 wouldn’t have a hope in hell of tailgating the OSC1 Nemesis. You could catch up to the G-Wagons...” Danger was interuptted by Rainbow, who was typing on the touching screen and found out something quite disturbing. “Err... Danger, you might wanna have a look at this!” Rainbow announced in a fearful tone in her voice. Danger looked at the screen and found out that the convoy was more than the G63 6x6s and Oscura’s OSC1 Nemesis. Behind them was another group of vehicles that definitely belonged to the Alliance. 9 of the cars were extremely modified Ford F150 Raptors, known to Oscura as F850 Venators, the F850 Ventaor is basically a F150 Raptor with a 840 horsepower 8.4 liter V10, similar to a Dodge SRT Viper from 7 years ago. They are also equipped with modified 50 calibre machine-guns that the bullets explode on impact with any material after firing. Behind them was Inferno Tempest, driving in her custom built car, the INF207 Flamethrower. The car was a blend of a Ferrari 488 GTB and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ at the front with 5 v-shaped vents. Two on the bonnet and three on the rear engine bay with the INF207 being dual-engined. The front engine was a custom built 5.9 litre naturally aspirated V10 producing 616 horsepower. The back of the car was styled to look like a McLaren Speedtail and her personal modified sixth-generation fighter jet, the BAE Systems Tempest which she nicknamed ‘ Furyflame’. The rear engine was a 14 litre supercharged V12 ICE producing 2,347 horsepower. Meaning the combined power of the INF207 was 2,963. The top speed of the car is 313 miles an hour. Next to Inferno, was Estrella Dragonheart her dark greyish-purple custom car, the EST1 Dragonhunter X. The EST1 was bascially a Bugatti Chiron with a custom-built widebody and the rear of the car had to be extended by 6 feet to acommodate the Le Mans Prototype-style rear spoiler the 20-litre triple-supercharged V12 pumping 3300 horsepower and 7200 torque. With a 315 miles an hour top speed, you would think it’s basically a vehicle equivalent of a nuclear bomb. Danger was baffled by the design of the cars and started to track the convoy by three pieces of criteria: their current location, the current speed of the vehicle and Danger City’s weather conditions. After about three minutes, the convoy were located at 207th Street and on the same avenue as the Legion’s HQ. “Don’t worry, Lightning, I got something to show you.” Danger said. Two minutes later, All of the Legion’s elite rushed towards the underground car park and with Alliance’s convoy at 202nd Street, they needed go there as fast as possible. When they got there, something was waiting for Lightning and it was parked right next to Danger’s DGR15. The car was the LD3 Thunderstorm. The LD3 Thunderstorm is a blend between a Lamborghini Centenario and the Vision Gran Turismo version of the Bugatti Veryon. Because of the 10.5 litre V12 pumping out 2,640 horsepower and 2,056 newton meters of torque, the car had to be fitted with a larger rear spoiler because her previous car, the LD2 Electrofield, had so much power, the front wheels lifted off the ground when the car 188 miles an hour. Even though the LD3 was a more modern equivalent, the top speed was still the same as the LD2, 302 miles per hour. Danger, Rainbow, Lightning and Aria got into their custom supercar while Spitfire went for the Bugatti Chiron SS 300 as she didn’t have enough time to create a Danger-approved masterpiece. As the five cars headed out of the carpark doors, the Alliance convoy was on 179th Street and Danger knew that Oscura is coming, so when they reached 176th Street, he told the rest of the group to form a roadblock on the crossroad on 178th. As Oscura saw the road block in front of her as she was apppraoching 179th Street, she knew Danger was behind this hold up from a mile away. “Pull over please.” Oscura ordered the convoy and within seconds, the convoy came to a stop. Oscura’s car became visible to Danger’s eyes “That’s probably one of the best looking cars I think I’ve ever seen!” Danger said to himself as he saw a closer at the OSC1 Nemesis. Oscura’s human counterpart wore the same full black leather outfit teamed with black leather fingerless gloves on and long leather heeled cyberpunk boots and on her left arm was her armband with the ‘OG’ imprint on it. She was also wearing her black helmet. As Oscura walked towards the roadblock, Danger readied his Scorpion EVO and pointed the laser sight at Oscura. Rainbow told the gun down as she saw Oscura un-armed and thought would be unhumane to hold someone at gunpoint while the victim was un-armed. “Oscura... we meet again!” Danger said, in a sinister tone in his voice. “Well, well, well. If it isn’t the British Speedfreak himself.” Oscura growled. “Oh, it felt like it was yesterday since I saw you, in Paradise City... in the pony world. “It was yesterday.” Danger said. “Now... to the matter at hand.” Oscura then announced, pulling out her Desert Eagle .50AE and pointed at Danger. “I just heard from one of my friends, Estrella Dragonheart, that she saw one of my members, Midnight Skies in fact, followed you here. So tell me, Danger... where is she!” “I’m not doing that, Oscura.” he said folded his arms in defiance. “It would be stupid of me to tell information to the likes of you. “You’re not making this easier for yourself, Danger,” Oscura growled. “The fact she followed you to this city makes me sick! Tell me where Midnight is, or you will lying in pool of your own blood.” “I don’t think you’re serious enough for me to be convinced.” Danger said, sternly. Oscura literally had enough of Danger’s shenanigans, so much in fact that, a tear dropped from her cheek onto the tarmac. “Danger, do you realise how much I like Midnight Skies?” Oscura sobbed in a hopeless way of ending the standoff. “I was introduced to Midnight Skies last night, thinking I’d had a glimmer of hope in defeating you.” Danger meanwhile, was not interested in general when talks. “And when the Battle of Paradise ended, you just TOOK THAT HOPE AWAY FROM ME!” Oscura shouted. “There is a Legion of Speedfreaks saying, “If evil has any friends, they won’t stay friends forever.” Danger commented, with a smug look on his face. This made Oscura even more furious, she had her finger on the trigger of her Desert Eagle. “Today... will be your VERY LAST DAY, DANGER!” Oscura boomed and before she could pull the trigger, three of F850 Venators exploded from a single RPG rocket that came from the roof of the Legion’s headquarters. Danger and the rest of his friends took the explosion as a queue to scarper. “Rainbow, I think I got an idea you might like.” Danger announced on his radio. “I know what it is, Danger. You don’t have to remind us.” Rainbow replied with a smile on her face. Danger’s idea was to divert and destroy the convoy before it reaches the Legion’s headquarters. Knowing that the OSC1 Nemesis is faster than his Excelsior X, he had something that the Nemesis doesn’t. On the touchscreen of his Excelsior X, was a menu called ‘Engine Settings’ and if he scrolls down, he would reach to the last mode which he can only in dire circumstances called MegaSport+ or MS+ for short. What it does it makes the superchargers on his engine glow red and produces 5% more horsepower than the normal setting. The traction and stablity controls would be disabled and the car will be 5% faster. The normal top speed is 306 mph, but with the MS+ setting enabled, the top speed is 321 mph. Rainbow and Aria both have the same setting which they enabled before speeding off towards the east. Realising this diversion, Oscura rushed towards her OSC1 and sped off into pursuit of Danger and his friends. Within seconds, the convoy followed Oscura and the first stage of the Battle of Paradise City was about to begin. Danger looked on the map and noticed that he was ten avenues away from the Red Crystal Expressway, a 37 mile long triple-carriageway that connects to Junction 932 of I160A. He hoped to shake them that way, but as he approached 30th Avenue, two G63 AMG 6x6s were about a sixteenth of a mile behind him. “Damnit, there’s two 6x6s gaining on me, I gotta shake them off.” Danger said as he reached for the radio. “Danger, continue heading for the Expressway, there’s medium traffic up above but I think they can’t get a good shot from the machine guns.” Rainbow instructioned Danger on the radio. Rainbow herself was heading for 196th Street/28th Avenue. “But Dashie, the bullets from the guns explode when they come into contact with any material.” Danger said in worry as he was now six avenues away from Junction 503 to the Expressway. “Use the traffic to your advantage, Danger.” Rainbow hinted, “The more vehicles on the Expressway, the better. I believe in you.” Lightning meanwhile, was in a complete tangle with the roads. “Amethyst Broadway’s one-way! Come on!” Lightning complained. But her version of the diversion involved going through alleyways which worked until she got hampered with one-way streets for three minutes. Aria and Spitfire were on 32nd Avenue and approaching 200th Street and being by a F850 Venator and a 6x6 Mercedes. Aria suddenly turned right towards 33rd Avenue where she noticed on her map that there were roadworks and thought that it would be a good idea. The Venator chased in hot pursuit. Aria was weaving thorough the cones and make it through without a dent or scratch. She exhaled in relief but she knew that was the end. The F850 however, was not so lucky. The truck hit one of the cones, causing a puncture to the front-left tyre and the car crashed into a hole and came to a stop. The worse part was that the truck landed on a gas pipe and two seconds later, the pipe burst. Danger, who made it to the Expressway, saw a mushroom cloud appear from 80 feet up. He looked onto the ‘Skirmish Statistics’ and found out the number of F850 Venators ticked down from six to five. He knew that Aria had something to do with it. With the two G63s imprisoned by the traffic, Danger can relax for a little while before the traffic splits off into other directions. But there was a feature on the G63s that Danger didn’t take into account. The G63’s were also armed with a ram plow that can scoop any vehicle in it’s path. Danger facepalmed and he knew that he had to get off the Expressway, otherwise his car would get filped over onto the oncoming lanes. Luckily for Danger, he was only two tenths of a mile away from the intersection to 43rd Avenue and 235th Street. “Danger, looks like I got rid of one of the remaining Venators and I got another one behind me.” Aria said on the radio. Danger wasn’t listening because he was under pressure from the two G63s behind him. “I leave you to it then.” Aria then said, thinking that Danger got it covered. But he hadn’t. Before turning off to 43rd Avenue. A grapling hook was fired and made contact with the back of his Excelsior X. Realising this Danger tried to evasively tried to avoid getting fliped over by the ram plow. In doing he scraped the left side of his Excelsior X on the sound barrier. Danger braced for the impact hoping not to his car turnedover like a pancake. But then... The G63 that had grabbed Danger’s car narrowly missed by a hair. Milliseconds later, it was a hard on the brakes because in front of it was a heavy goods lorry, in the style of DGHTI 7500 Travelmaster with the two trailers full of Saproitine, a metal that is lighter than aluminium and also the same material used for the construction of Danger’s proposed replacement for the Ghostwrath, the DGR17 Vigilante. DGHTI stood for Danger Heavy Transport Industries. The lorry itself was going to New Borealis, 4135 miles north of Danger City. The hook broke off of Danger’s car and was able to head to 43rd Avenue. The G63 however, narrowly avoided comnig into contact with the hauler and before it was able to pick up speed again, a fuel tanker didn’t the slow G63 and crashed to the back of it. The G63 itself crashed head-on into the sound barrier at 87 miles per hour, braking the ram plow, the main engine and the front driveshaft. The tanker itself exploded after an impact from a MPV at the rear. Danger sighed in relief and has he turned right towards 236th Street. The Skirmish Statics revealed that are now five cars left. But a few minutes later, the Skirmish Statics screen switched off. Danger reached for the radio to Rainbow immediately afterwards. “Rainbow, I think the Skirmish menu switched off.” He said, turning off into the nearest alleyway he could find. “See if you can switch back on, if not, try restarting the car.” Rainbow suggested. “OK, will do.” Danger said while turning off the Excelsior. Danger waited about 30 seconds before switching on the engine and 10 seconds later, the Skirmish Menu was syncronising until, the menu loaded back up and displayed a 2 for the number of G63 AMG 6x6s and a 2 for the number of F850 Venators. Danger became confused. “Wasn’t it five for each of the cars, a minute ago?” He thought to himself as he drove out of the alley and back onto 236th Street and headed northbound. But before he could go any further, the two G63s and the two F850 Venator that were remaining formed a road block which caused Danger to slam the brakes hard. The guns were aimed and locked on Danger’s Excelsior. Danger gulped, thinking that the end of the road was near for him. But before the machine guns could fire... ...all four of the cars exploded from one RPG-7 round. Danger ducked as one of F850s sailed over the roof of his Excelsior. When the black smoke settled, an extremely modified Ducati Diavel Dark became visible and a female rider who took off her red and black bike helmet revealing black and red Rainbow-style hair. Danger can tell it was a member of the Legion of Speedfreaks. “Hi, Danger. I saw the roadblock in front of you, so I thought I’d give you a hand.” The girl said with a smile on her face. “Who are you, by any chance?” Danger asked her. “I’m Black Flame, professional racing driver and member of the Legion of Speedfreaks.
Chapter 4 - Meeting Black Flame and New Members of the AllianceView OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 4 - Meeting Black Flame and New Members of the Alliance“Hi, Danger. I saw the roadblock in front of you, so I thought I’d give you a hand.” The girl said with a smile on her face. “Who are you, by any chance?” Danger asked her. “I’m Black Flame, professional racing driver and member of the Legion of Speedfreaks.” She introduced to herself. Danger thought it was Oscura for a minute as she has the same hair colour as Black Flame. The only difference is that Black Flame is a more kind-hearted person, unlike Oscura, who still haunts him to this day. “Black Flame, I...” Danger said, wanted to thank her for assistance, but was interrupted. “Please, there’s no need.” Black Flame said, approaching to Danger. “I was an enemy of Oscura since I first heard that she made your life a complete misery.” Danger became lost for words as to how Black Flame knew Oscura. “Wait, what... HOW?” He exclaimed. “How did you know I was Oscura’s enemy for at least a decade.” “It’s simple, it can be traced back to a race you participated at Appleopolis, at the seven eighth-mile oval track. You were in a late-model stock car race sporting the number 15.” Black Flame explained. ”The race was had nothing special until there was five laps to go. You were leading the field to the green after a two car incident. Oscura was fourth and your best friend, Rainbow Dash was fifth. When the green flag waved, Oscura tried a move to get second place which succeded and on the final lap, she tried to pit maneuver you to snatch the lead off you. Using the bottom lane to your advantage. You gently tapped the front-right of Oscura’s car with the rear and sent her into the wall at 75 mph at turn 3. Rainbow took second as she was in third at the time of the crash, the yellow flag didn’t wave and you cross the line in first with Rainbow right behind you.” Danger was intrigued by the Black Flame’s little story. “And that’s not all!” Black Flame continued. “When you headed to your RV, Oscura was waiting at the parking area, looking very angry with you. When she saw you, she rushed straight towards you and grabbed the collar of your racing suit and was holding onto you for about twenty seconds.” Within seconds, a flashback hit Danger when he was in the parking area of the oval track as to what Black Flame was talking about. But the flashback was cut short by the sound of Oscura. “WHAT WERE YOU DOING, YOU INCOMPENT IDIOT!” She shouted from behind Danger. “Oscura, can you just not shout at my new friend like that, he has feelings you know!” Black Flame snapped back while Danger turned towards her. “Can this be a time for me to ask what the hell you’re talking about?” Danger asked her, totally confused and annoyed at the same. “No, not right now, Dean.” Black Flame responded as she didn’t want to him to sass her. “SHUT UP, YOU!” Oscura boomed asher eyes turned red once again. “WHY DID YOU CAUSE SO MUCH DESTRUCTION CONSISTING OF MY HOPE OF KILLING... THIS SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN AND MY CONVOY OF 14 CARS.” “I hate to see him get hurt, he’s one of my new friends.” Black Flame said, trying to win the agruement, but to no avail. “NEW FRIEND, pfft” Oscura scoffed. “Having more friends isn’t gonna save Danger from his ultimate downfall.” “I don’t know what crap you’re on about, Oscura.” Danger said, in a unconvinced expression. “Because if you destroy me, I will come back ten times stronger... and faster at the same time.” “DON’T GIVE ME YOUR SASSY, STUPID REMARKS TO ME, DANGERDEAN!” Oscura boomed and within seconds, she pulled out Desert Eagle and pointed it square at Danger’s head. “Remember this, Danger. You’ve been my nemesis for a decade now... and I feel like that’s one decade too many!” Danger said nothing, he doesn’t believe what Oscura had said in the last 20 seconds, every single word. “Have I tormented you enough, Danger? Oscura asked Danger in a madwoman-style tone in her voice. Danger had enough and readied his Scorpion EVO and aimed at Oscura’s car “No, but thank you for asking.” Danger said and fired a shot at Oscura’s windshield. Black Flame then readied her RPG-7 and ordered Danger to move to side. Danger had another idea. The idea was to drive off with the Excelsior and he wanted to get out of the way from the RPG round coming from Black Flame. With an aura of bright flames coming from Oscura, Danger used this to his advantage to get into his car and speed through the wrecked pickups that Black Flame left behind five minutes ago. Seeing Danger’s escape, Oscura fired her Desert Eagle five times which amazingly to Danger, all of the bullets missed his car and made contact with the burning pickup trucks. Oscura screamed in rage and she couldn’t be bothered with Danger until she seemed ready to try and kill Danger. The key word being try. She decided to head back to her car, but before she could, Black Flame fired the round from her RPG-7 and Oscura’s car exploded on impact, Black Flame meanwhile, kickstarted her Ducati and sped off, leaving Oscura to cry in rage as flames began to flicker and burn the OSC1 Nemesis into nothingness. In the Legion’s HQ however, Rainbow was getting a bit concerned over Danger and fearing that Danger may have back caught by Oscura. As she looked at her watch which read 13:30. “I hope Danger OK, it’s been about 40 minutes since the convoy got destroyed but he hasn’t returned.” Rainbow sad as she sat on the couch in the penthouse suite. “Don’t worry, Rainbow.” Crimsonia said, putting her right hand on Rainbow’s shoulder. “I just heard from him that he’s with Black Flame.” “Where is he though? That’s the real question.” Rainbow said, looking very worried. “He told me that he’s heading southbound on the Expressway. He told me that he’s going to be here in about fifteen minutes.” Crimsonia replied. “I should hope so.” Meanwhile Alliance of Extreme Darkness Headquarters Oscura City, 18:05 Estrella was having a talk with two new members of the Alliance, Thundershock and Dark Fire. Thundershock was having a dual-mood moment, The first mood is meeting Estrella for the first time. The second was a hatred with her nemesis, Lightning Dust. Dark Fire was the same with Spitfire, being her nemesis and everything. Estrella wasn’t interested in Thundershock’s first mood at all, but was interested in how she became bitter rivals with Lightning. “So... how did you become enemies with Lightning, Thundershock?” Estrella asked while taking a seat on the couch. “It’s very simple.” Thundershock replied. “I was on a road trip about five years ago to Nova Exalos with Dark Fire and as we were heading to I205A, two cars were already on the interstate and I believe they were leading a convoy to Crystalmore 360 miles south of Oscura City.” “OK, so... what were the cars that were on the interstate at the time of the encounter?” Estrella asked with Inferno entering the room. “There were a lime-green Bentley Continental GT Speed and a Ferrari 488 GTB in red.” Thundershock replied. But before the conversion could go any further, Inferno was waiting Estrella’s attention. After Estrella got up and walked towards Inferno. “What is it, Inferno?” Estrella asked as she folded her arms. “We’re having a bit of panic moment.” Inferno replied with sweat running down her leather suit. “Why?” “Because... Anti-Pinks, Rotten Apple and Diamond Rush had a bit of a run-in with a DSR 4500X 'Intimidator' Super GP.” Estrella’s eyes lit up at the word ‘Intimidator’ as she thought of her cars, the INF206 Intimidator R. “Who?” Estrella asked. “It’s... a five letter name that been causing us bother since Oscura became enemies with Danger.” Inferno replied. “Inferno... please don’t tell me it’s not Akula by any chance?” Estrella then announced while stroking her hair. Inferno nodded as Estrella eyes turned bright red. “Is he... friends with Danger by any chance?” She asked in a more hostile tone in her voice. “They met in Paradise City in... I can’t remember the exact date of when but...” Inferno said before being interrupted by Shadow Wings’ modified Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S and an extremely angry Oscura Galaxia. “What’s up with her?” Estrella asked Inferno on why she looks like a bomb at one second to blowing up. “Hmm... possibly... her car blown up and what she doesn’t realise is that..” Inferno said and grabbing an OSC1 Nemesis key. “She does have a spare. Anyway we should leave her to cry out and I hope she doesn’t break anything.” “I should hope so.” Estrella said in dismay and within seconds, the door to Oscura was slammed shut and Oscura herself was on her bed, crying her eyes and wanting to brutally kill Black Flame for blowing up her OSC1. Author's Note Next chapter... the Intimidator will be unleashed!
Chapter 5 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 1 - The Intimidator Awakens)View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 5 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 1 - The Intimidator Awakens)Legion of Speedfreaks HQ Danger City 18:35 While the Alliance was preparing another attempt to bring the Legion of Speedfreaks down to the ground. Lightning Dust was with Spitfire in the ground floor corridor heading towards the elevator for the penthouse suite. “I didn’t know that you and Danger had a history, Lightning.” Spitfire said, looking surprised.” “Yes, ever since my departure from the Wonderbolts, I was feeling bored with myself and anything I do would literally be of no interest to me.” Lightning Dust replied. “I actually formed the Washouts before I became friends with Danger.” Spitfire raised a eyebrow at Lightning, thinking that she was completely insane of her to join the Legion of Speedfreaks two years ago. Spitfire could’ve asked Danger why she joined, but he would say that he can become friends with anyone who has as much recklessness as Lightning does. Moreover, Danger knows Lightning Dust doesn’t get along with Rainbow Dash, even though he told her to put her ‘grudge’ against Rainbow aside for the duration of the ‘Vehicle War’ which started back at Paradise City. “What? I’m just trying to prove a point.” Lightning said, while her eyes rolled upwards in disgust. “I don’t think you’ve ever proved a point ever since your departure.” Spitfire’s face turned to annoyance as she folded her arms. Then, the conversation went to tepid in terms of heat, but before either of them could speak, Twilight Sparkle, who was also heading for the penthouse in order to speak to the Dragonsfire sisters, saw that Lightning and Spitfire was close to having a grudge match. “Hey, Lightning.” Twilight said, trying to divert Lightning from Spitfire. “Look, I understand you getting kicked out of the Wonderbolts wasn’t your finest hour. But listen to me, you’re a Speedfreak Legionnare now. So is Spitfire for that matter. You need stop picking fights with her. What has Spitfire ever done to you to make your life a living hell?” “But I-“ Lightning said before being interrupted by Twilight again. “Lightning, listen!” Twilight said. “Do you remember what Danger said to you about your rivalry with Rainbow.” Then, two seconds later, a flashback consisting of her and Danger, who was try to eliviate the situation from going into hell. After the flashback elapsed, Lightning came to the conclusion that she did have to put her dispute with Rainbow Dash aside and apologised to Spitfire. “So that’s sorted then?” Twilight then announced. Lightning didn’t want to say anything as she said enough, according to Twilight. Meanwhile, in Command Station 3B, Danger was doing some more research into the Alliance of Extreme Darkness and after a number of Oscura’s firewalls got deleted, courtesy of his insane hacking skills. You would think he would probably get sent to a court in Canterlot City and locked away for a few decades, but the Legion of Speedfreaks is still at war with the Alliance so it was perfectly fine. After 20 minutes of continuous typing and scanning the map, two alerts came to Danger’s monitor. One was that the BSRU found an abandoned Alliance manufacturing plant 40 miles west of the HQ. He noticed that the route to it passes the Akula Autodrom which he knew that one of his long-time friends, Akula would be there, preferably setting really fast laps in his Intimidator if Danger knew something about it previously. The other was that Akula was trying to contact Danger through speed dial, which he didn’t realise until now. The last time somebody speed dialed Danger was Rainbow, five months before the Battle of Paradise City. Danger accepted the message and put his headphones on a second later. “DangerDean, here.” He can tell that Akula had something important to say to him. “Oh hey, Dean, how it’s it going and what have you been doing since last I spoke to you?” Akula greeted. “It’s been going swimming I’ve just been extinguishing every single one of Oscura’s firewalls, putting in the coordinates of an abandoned Alliance manufacturing base 40 miles from the HQ and creating masterpieces of vehicles which will be used to teach Oscura a lesson. The lesson being: to never mess with Legion of Speedfreaks.” Danger replied while typing at the same time. “Oscura’s giving you trouble, I presume.” Akula then asked him. Danger’s face turned to a ‘don’t even bother to ask’ expression but he didn’t want to end the conversation at this early stage. “Yes, she held me a gunpoint about a couple of times, crashed into my car in Paradise City a few times and I had to resort to crashing her car as well.” Danger replied while let out a big sigh. “You just get away from her, don’t you.” Akula said with deep concern from him. “Akula, it’s not that easy.” Danger leaned on the table with his arms folded and his head on his arms. “Oscura is literally everywhere, in the center of Danger City, in the outskirts, in the room, even in the penthouse where Twilight, the Lionsfire and Dragonsfire sisters are. Worse stilll, is I keep dreaming of her, worrying that I might succumb to her deeds.” “I see, I have an idea that might cheer you up.” Akula said, trying to stop Danger from being morbid, which he doesn’t. “What is it.” Danger shrugged, thinking he might end on the wrong side of the deal, as his pony counterpart had made deals with changelings before and was always on the recieving end of them all. But this time, he trusts Akula so it will never happen. “Why don’t you come to the Akula Autodrom and I will challenge you do a hot-lap shootout?” Akula offered. Danger let a grin on the face as Akula may have found a solution. “You know what? That’s a good idea!” Danger announced as he got up on the chair. “I have another idea, Danger. Why not ask Rainbow if she will be interested.” Akula offered again. “I will.” Danger responded. After that, Danger was ready to finish off the conversion. “Right, I’ll see you in about a hour. Oh and by the way, if you see black and red Oscura Supercars OSC1 Nemesis appear, be warned, she may be looking a lot angrier than she normally does.” Danger warned Akula and had accepted his challenge “Ok I’ll be vigilant.” Akula replied and ended the call. Meanwhile, Legion of Speedfreaks HQ, Penthouse Suite, 19:00 While Danger was finishing with messing with Oscura’s hardware. Twilight, Blazey, Sparky, Crimsonia and Black Flame were having a nice conversion with the sunset slowy starting to appear from view of the penthouse window with the five girls relaxing before they each get some rest Black Flame had changed outfits from her black leather bike suit which has no relation to Oscura’s leather suit to a black t-shirt with a black red-outlined flame artwork, denim shorts and black tights with red trainers similar to Danger’s but with black flames. “So tell me, Black Flame.” Twilight said, putting her arms on the back of her head. “Why did became Danger’s friend all of a sudden. Personally I think anyone with the name ‘Black Flame sounds like an ally to Oscura.” “Twilight.” Black Flame replied. “Me and Danger have a common enemy, she’s been tearing his emotions like ripping a thousand books in half.” “Wow.” Crimsonia’s eyebrows suddenly raised. “Crimsonia, can you not?” Black Flame got a bit anoyed with Crimsonia’s comment a few seconds eariler. “Anyways, Danger texted me before he left the building because he had some business to attend to.” Sparky tilted her head towards Black Flame. “Probably something to do with this ‘Akula’ he keeps talking about.” She repiled. “I never met him but, according to Danger he seems quite friendly.” Twilight facepalmed and she wasn’t the only one that thought Danger was making a deal with the ‘Lords of Chaos’... again. “Why does Danger do this to himself?” Twilight thought, taking a big sigh. “I know he has friends everywhere but this is getting out of hand. The next thing you’ll know is that he’ll reform another member of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness. I keep thinking about Midnight Skies though.” “Why, Twilight, I may ask?” Sparky was looking confused with Twilight being concerned over Midnight Skies, who was a part of the Alliance before her betrayal which Oscura never recovered from. “Because, Sparky,” Twilight replied with touch of angry which Blazey, Black Flame and Crimsonia failed to see. “Ever since her reformation, she’s been acting... strange over the past couple of hours.” “Wouldn’t surprised since she was having flashbacks of Oscura’s acts since the last time I saw her like... six hours ago” Black Flame turned to Twilight while using her phone. I let her control her thoughts before they get too vile and dark. Worse still is that she’s like... going on about Rainbow Dash for something.” Twilight got up from the couch and was taking deep breaths for 10 seconds because her anger was gradually increasing. “Why’s that, Black Flame?” “Twilight, let me get this straight.” Black Flame cleared her throat. “You were in a vehicular skirmish in Paradise City last night and you were part of Group Shuriken. How long did you know that Oscura’s hate for Danger is rising?” Twilight shrugged. Her words could be overruled by Black Flame. “I’ll tell you, for the past year, after you defeated the Legion of Doom back in Equestria. The reason I know this is because two weeks after they were turned to stone, Danger and Rainbow were in a race with Midnight Skies, which Rainbow won and Midnight hated the fact that she lost to a pegasus of her own kind. She then turned to Oscura in an attempted to seek revenge on her newly-formed nemesis, which of course, is Rainbow Dash.” “How do you know all this?” Sparky became confused as to what Black Flame was on about. “Well, Sparky.” Black Flame replied, “Just because my pony counterpart resides in Cloudsdale, doesn’t mean that I share the same amount of knowledge as he does.” Twilight, who had calmed down after her ‘anger splash’ as she calls it, was shocked about it. “Danger’s from Cloudsdale!” She exclaimed. “Yes, I think so. I may check with him when he gets back from his drive to the Akula Autodrom.” Akula Autodrom, 28 miles from the HQ, 19:58 While Black Flame was still explaining to the girls about Midnight Skies. The Akula Autodrom was awaiting the arrival of the DGR15 Excelsior X which was driven by the British Speedfreak himself, DangerDean. But before he switch off the engine, he recieved a call from... Oscura. Danger faceplanted on the steering wheel. “Does she ever learn anything?” Danger thought to himself as pressed the button to display the call. He can tell Oscura was mad about something, “What do you want now?” Danger was clearly annoyed because she gets calls from Oscura, every day. “Danger, why have you BLOWN UP MY BEAUTIFUL CAR UP AGAIN! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE MORE OF A IDIOT THAT WOULD NOT DO SUCH A THING! WHY DID YOU DO THAT, YOU BASTARD?!” Oscura snapped, thinking that Danger exploded her car when clearly, it was Black Flame. “It wasn’t me.” Danger said, trying to unpin the blame. “I wasn’t anywhere near your car, apart from when I put a hole through your windshield.” “DON’T LIE TO ME, DANGER!” Oscura spat out. “I KNEW IT WAS YOU! YOU JUST HAD THE NERVE TO BLOW ONE OF MY MASTERPIECES! IF I SEE YOU DESTROY YOU ONE OF MY CARS AGAIN, AS SOMBRA AS MY WITNESS, I WILL MAKE YOU TASTE BARREL OF A GRENADE LAUNCHER, YOU HEAR ME?! THE BARREL OF MY GRENADE LAUNCHER!" Danger became tired with her and cut her off in the simillar fashion he did back at Paradise City. After he switched off the engine he stepped out from the Excelsior, the Intimidator was within sight and a human with black skin, red eyes and a flat, straight Flash Sentry-esque red hairstyle. Standing next to the Intimidator was none other than Akula, wearing a sleeveless flak jacket with a red star which covered a majority of the jacket. Teamed with it are red millitary gloves on his hands. He was also sprting black and red camo pattern milltary cargo pants with black sneakers. “I heard someone was shouting.” Akula said as he held an AK-47 for safety. “I thought I might investigate.” “No, I cut her off ten seconds ago.” Danger replied. “She’s pretty pissed off with me after she thought I blew up her OSC1 Nemesis a few hours ago. Which I didn’t have any part of at all. Apart from shooting her windscreen.” “I’m not surprised considering she is your nemesis and everything, bit like my hatred towards one of your members for the Shuriken Group.” Akula folded his arms. “You mean... Starlight Glimmer, by any chance, I wasn’t really fond of her before she was reformed.” Danger conceded, stroking his hair. “I know, Danger.” Akula replied. “I know.” “So, about that challenge. Are you ready?” Danger reminded Akula that they had a challenge right now. After Danger and Akula shook hands, Akula turned to his Intimidator and fired up the V10. Danger was excited to hear a V10-powered formula and he turned to this DGR15 and revved up the W16. Their challenge was about to begin. Author's Note Well, the Imtidator has awakened. Oh and big thanks to Akula966 for sharing me his EQG counterpart if you want to see more vehicular madness, you might want to check out Burnout Equestrian Paradise and F1 Equestria Duels of the Century.
Chapter 5.5 - Excelsior vs IntimidatorView OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 5.5 - Excelsior vs IntimidatorAkula turned towards the start-finish with his Intimidator and pressed all the necessary buttons on his steering wheel for the modes ‘stopwatch’, ‘set track location’, ‘start stopwatch when brake is deactivated’ and ‘stop stopwatch when crossing the finish line’. “Right.” Akula thought to himself as he looked at Danger, waiting for him to give the countdown in order to for him to set off on his lap. “Ok, Akula, may the best win.” Danger shouted, “3... 2... 1... Go!” After that, the roar of the V10 engine of the Intimidator echoed across the track and within 5 seconds, Akula was already at the right-handed chicane and was heading for Turn 3. With Akula having fitted new tyres on the Intimidator before he offered Danger the duel, the car attacked the corner at full speed through the turn which amazed Danger has he looked on Akula’s on-board camera on his phone. 10 seconds later, after exited turn 3, Akula was the second section of the track, which is known to other cars that have raced on the track as hell, but with Akula’s experience, it shouldn’t really bother the Intimidator too much. After traversing through Sector 2, the Intimidator was heading for Turn 10, a quick left-hander towards the next straightaway towards Turn 11 and the banked section of the track which is Sector 3. As Akula picked speed up through Turn 12 towards the banking, he activated the full burst of the V10 and was reaching 360kph on his speedometer. Finally, after clocking 390kph, the Intimidator blew past the start/finish line, sending shock to Danger and he knew he was next. The stopwatch on Akula’s steering wheel stopped at... 3:33.693. 3 seconds later, Akula returned to the pits and saw that Danger was in for a surprise. “So, what’s the target, Akula?” Danger asked. “3:33.693.” Akula replied. “OK, then... I have two concerns, firstly, it’s not the cornering I’m worrying about, it’s the gearbox, being an 8-speed automatic DSG. Secondly... my car does 308mph and I have a W16 engine and two superchargers.” Danger confessed, getting into the Excelsior. “Don’t worry, Danger.” Akula said, trying to relieve the pressure off of him. “You’ll be fine.” “OK, I trust you.” Danger announced. After confronting with is moral dilemmas, Danger lined up the Excelsior on the start-finish straight, hoping to beat Akula’s Intimidator. He also didn’t need a countdown of Akula, because he programed the Excelsior to begin a countdown after he set the engine to MS+. After about 30 seconds of thought unraveling, Danger pressed ‘START’ on the countdown and begin to rev up the W16. After the countdown elapsed, the digital speedometer was raised slightly to make room for the stopwatch. While Danger himself had already passed the chicane in the span of eight seconds and was already on Turn 3. Danger had a serious face on as he reached 200mph on his speedometer and was approaching towards the sector that Danger knew he would have problems, but only time will tell. He held his breath and began traversing through the tight corners. Akula meanwhile, could see that Danger was concentrating on the more technical part of the racetrack. Having nearly tank-slaped twice, Danger was now on Sector 3, of which he would be more comfortable with. He knew that need to make up time on Turn 12 and the start-finish straight so when he approached towards the banking, Danger knew that was time to unleashed the full power of the Excelsior. When he reached 260mph through Turn 12, the text of his speedometer turned red as he was nearing the three minute thirty second mark. When the cross the line, he looked at the stopwatch which stopped at... 3:35.235, one and a half seconds slower than Akula, but did take into account that he nearly spun out twice on Sector 2. He headed back to the pit lane to bring the news to Akula.
Chapter 6 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 2a - A New Weapon Is Revealed)View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 6 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 2a - A New Weapon Is Revealed)“So, how did you do, Danger?” Akula asked Danger as he walked towards Danger’s Excelsior. Danger cleared his throat before he gave the result. “3:35.235.” Akula was in shock when Danger said that his Excelsior is slower than his Intimidator. “Do you know why my Excelsior is slower on this track than your F1-spec car?” Danger asked. Akula didn’t have a clue as to why. “It’s because I tank-slaped on two of the corners. I may need to come back here in the future just to learn the corners on Sector 2.” Danger repesonded. “Danger, you don’t need to ask if you want to learn Sector 2 again, you can come any time you fancy.” Akula put his hand on Danger’s shoulder. “Can I ask, why did you make a mess on two of the corners?” Danger scratched his head. “I didn’t take into account of how many torque the Excelsior had and if I did that previously, I would have been close to the track record, or shaved a couple of seconds off.” He confessed. “How much torque do you have that... stunning masterpiece of a hypercar of yours?” Akula had a glimpse of the Excelsior. “3,800.” Danger said after a sudden flashback of him testing the Excelsior at the DangerStar Proving Grounds. Akula was in shock again. “Why, Danger?” Akula asked him. “Akula, they’re built for two purposes.” Danger replied. “One, to ensure everyone in my team, the Legion of Speedfreaks, gets to enjoy immaculate supercars for as long they live. And two...” Danger’s voice suddenly turned to the main topic on his mind. “...I’m sort of in an arms race with Oscura.” “I wouldn’t think that’s true, Danger.” Akula wasn’t one hundred percent convinced. Danger’s brain went crazy after hearing this. “It’s true, Akula! Everytime she creates a car, no matter if it’s a supercar, a hypercar or anything that has a top speed of half the speed of sound, me, Rainbow, Aria, Lightning and Spitfire build a faster car to compete with her. It’s just...” Danger was having a mind-breaker as Oscura was becoming to be an insolvable problem. “It’s just crazy that the fact she hasn’t given up yet.” “Hey, Danger, an hour ago, you remember this: I contacted you and something you mentioned in that conversion about Oscura just occured to me.” Akula then said as he had an idea. “What’s that.” “Well, I remember that you sent the BSRU to locate anything Oscura related, which it did. About 12 miles away is a factory that’s been abandoned for a unknown reason known to humanity.” Akula replied. “I think I should get some more blueprints for some reason.” Danger said, folding his arms in the process. “Danger, the superstructure is severely unstable and could go at any time.” Akula warned him, thinking that he didn’t make a wise decision. “Doesn’t stop me though!” Danger’s overconfidence was concerning Akula, but he followed him out of the Akula Autodrome entrance and back onto I144A to the abandoned factory that formerly belonged to the Alliance of Extreme Darkness. Meanwhile... Central Oscura City Oscura City, 21:07 While Danger and Akula headed towards the Alliance’s unwanted property, Estrella was travelling through the streets of Oscura City in her hypercar, the Dragonhunter X, feeling calm which is what some of the members aren’t which makes Estrella a more unique member. But before she headed back towards the headquarters, she saw Adagio waiting for a lift as she had been out of the HQ for about a few hours. The reason is because she kept hearing Oscura’s voice everytime she walks along the corridors of the second floor. Estrella knew that since she became Aria’s nemesis, even though Aria isn’t a doppelganger of Adagio, but she had enough of her being with Danger for the past six years. Adagio, meanwhile, was wearing a similar outfit to Oscura’s but her boots are longer. As she walked towards the Dragonhunter, she waved to Estrella which she waved back. Estrella knew that Adagio was ok being with the Alliance of Extreme Darkness since she was nice to her before the chaos in Paradise City, enough she was warned by Oscura, but she put that to one side for the duration of the upcoming Battle of Danger City. “Hi, Estrella.” Adagio said, getting into the Dragonhunter. “I just err... needed some time away from Oscura, like you know... shouting constantly.” “I know you not a huge fan of Oscura like I am, but you’ll have to put up with it, being a Alliance of Extreme Darkness member and everything relating to Oscura hating Danger.” Estrella said, restarting her Dragonhunter. Adagio sighed all of a sudden, mostly because wanted to capture Aria for being with her best friend, DangerDean. “What’s the matter, Adagio?” Estrella became understandably concerned over Adagio. “I don’t know Estrella.” Adagio muttered under her own breath. “It’s just that... I was thinking of needing a faster car as of late.” She put her elbow on the door and a tear began to fall down her cheek. “Because, my Rossolini LM Classic that I used in the Battle of Paradise City is now an absoulte shit-tip and I can’t figure out to repair it. So... I have an offer for you.” This suddenly caught Estrella’s interest. “Go, on. I’m listening.” “Well.” Adagio began. “Could I build my hopeful ‘half-supercar, half-luxury car project’ while the Rossolini LM Classic gets repaired. I haven’t tested the vehicle manufacuring base as of recently, so I thought I might get a test-run, you what I mean.” Adagio rapid-fire blinked, trying to control her decision. “Of course, Adagio.” Estrella accepted the deal. “Anything to help our members with what they require. But can you not do the ‘blink-to-submission’ tactic on me. It’s a dead move here in Oscura City.” “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist.” Adagio apologised. “Anyways,” Estrella said, moving onto a new topic. “Oscura asked me to share new latest creation that she hopes to destroy the Legion of Speedfreaks. Adagio became intrigued with Estrella had to say. “What is it?” “Oh, it’s err... the replacement for her OSC1 Nemesis. It’s the called... the OSC2 Valkyria.” Adagio whisted at the name. “What does it look like.” “It’s basically the same as the OSC1, but it has a bigger rear-spolier and more horsepower, 6200 horsepower to be exact, 11500 torque and... 335mph top speed.” Estrella replied. Adagio was in awe with what Estrella. “I can’t wait to see it.” She went to excitement mode. “I let you see it because she finished about 20 minutes ago.” Estrella replied. Author's Note Just let you know, this is a three-parter, this is only part one.
Chapter 7 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 2b - Searching Through Abandoned Property)View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 7 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 2b - Searching Through Abandoned Property)Alliance of Extreme Darkness HQ Oscura City, 21:23 While Estrella and Adagio were en-route to the headquarters, Inferno was talking to an old friends of hers in the main office. She first met her after the Friendship Games five years ago and was a former principal of Crystal Prep, Abacus Cinch. “You know, Abacus.” Inferno said, “Do you know what the goal of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness is?” Abacus sighed. “Yes, I think I do.” Abacus replied. “The goal of this team. is that you and your associates to capture the Legion of Speedfreak’s founder, DangerDean. But I must warn you, Inferno, what he may come up with in the foreseeable future, is something you may not like.” “I don’t think we are worried about Danger anymore since we have the technology, cars and anything related into dealing with the Legion.” Inferno was on a tablet and was processing some car-related files. Abacus adjusted her glasses slightly. “You know, Inferno.” Abacus said. “I’m more interested in the command section for this group. As I have no reason for me to risk myself getting killed by Danger, I much prefer too...” She was interrupted by Oscura who had been finishing off her OSC2 Valkyria and was heading outside for some fresh air. “Hey, Oscura, I think I found someone who might help with your Danger-related problem.” Inferno said, trying to get Oscura’s attention. “What is the problem exactly, Inferno?” Abacus asked her. This led to a facepalm from Oscura. “Never go down that route with me, Abacus!” Oscura said coldly, “He’s already blown my OSC1 Nemesis and I had to built a faster one than the previous car which he destroyed, which WAS in fact, the OSC1 NEMESIS!” “Calm down, Oscura.” Abacus tried to simmer down Oscura’s anger. “You’ll catch him someday.” Oscura then had a proper look at Abacus. “Do you know who you remind me of?” Oscura asked her. “No, who?” Abacus was looking puzzled with Oscura. Inferno meanwhile, sighed and headed for her quarters for some rest, knowing this conversation could drag on. “My mother.” Oscura replied. “You just have feeling that you might have been someone who cared for me in the past. Not like the dogs of the Legion of Speedfreaks who kept jeopardising my life and make want to kill them, especially Danger.” “Who is your mother, Oscura?” “Rosa Estrella Galaxia.” Oscura replied to Abacus’ question. “She had a nemesis of her own before I was even born and on the day she left me...” Oscura paused because her heartbeat was accelarating. “... I didn’t even get speak to her when I first encountered Danger ten years ago, saying that I picked on the wrong person to mess with.” Abacus was moved by Oscura’s story. “I was heartbroken when she decided that when Danger became my nemesis she said that enough was enough and she decided to leave me to my own devices.” Oscura continued. “But the best part about it is that I don’t have listen to voice that is always strict about everything. But I’m a strict person myself, but not that type of strict. After my dismal loss at the Battle of Paradise City however, I decided that I make Rotten Apple, Shadow Wings, Anti-Pinks and Diamond Rush below my rank which is... Queen of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness. I prefer them to call me 'mistress'. Estrella Dragonheart and Inferno Tempest on the other hand... they are my friends and will anything in my power to protect them.” Abacus was wondering where Oscura is going. “Even though I got rid of my mother’s voices, my brain has always been plague by the sound...” Oscura’s eyes turned bright red. “... OF DANGER’S STUPID VOICE THAT I KEEP HAVING TO HEAR... FOR TEN LONG YEARS!" Abacus saw that Oscura was having one of her many rants about the British Speedfreak. She quickly headed to her own quarters but before she could. “HALT!” Oscura shouted at the top of her voice. Abacus was getting a bit annoyed with her because with her sudden rant eariler. “You said enough now, Oscura. Get some rest and you’ll be ready to get him tommorrow, yeah.” Abacus said and closed the door. “I’m the Queen of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness...” Oscura said to herself. “... and I don’t take it kindly to when I’ve been ordered to do anything. She will now who she’s dealing with her... and that person” Oscura’s voice went deeper and more evil “... is me!” An abandoned Alliance of Extreme Darkness Car Factory 12 miles from the Akula Autodrom, 21:40 While Oscura was displaying a newly formed rage out of nowhere, Danger and Akula had arrived at the abadoned car factory that the BSRU located. When they got out of their cars, they noticed that the building was burnt on the outside but the superstructure is still standing, but only by a thread. They both knew that they have to be extremely careful. “You said to me that there is blueprints in this building, but there isn’t any!” Akula said in a hostile tone. “Chill, Akula!“ Danger responded. “According to my phone, the blueprints are in the main control room. You were thinking they were outside.” “Yeah, sorry Danger, I didn’t mean to upset you or something” Akula apologised. “I wasn’t upset or anything, I ws just not convinced.” Danger concluded. “All right, let’s go.” Within seconds, Danger and Akula were inside the factory. Danger was checking on his phone for any life signs and heard a beep about three seconds. “If one of the Alliance members if gonna meet us, he or she will be dining on AK-47 rounds.” Akula readied his AK-47. “Do you think it’s a bad time to tell you this?” Danger said, rather worryingly. “Tell me what?” “We can’t use any weapons, for psychological reason only.” Danger replied “Look the BSRU said that the building is so unstable that even a loud noise could cause the superstructure to disintergrate.” “OK, Danger, thanks for the heads-up.” Akula replied as he and Danger continued their search for the blueprints. After about three minutes of searching, they found the main assembly line which Danger hoped there would be some blue prints. Danger meanwhile, was checking on the tables for anything useful which he didn’t most of the time. But that changed when he found boxes consisting of memory sticks. Memory sticks that contained all of the future projects that the Alliance of the Extreme Darkness could have brought to life. Danger didn’t realise that there was some writing on the boxes which read: ‘PROPERTY OF THE ALLIANCE, OTHER ORGANISATIONS BEWARE!” He knew that Oscura could have written that just to toy with him. He did realised though the there was thrity plus boxes of those memory sticks. “Err... Akula, I think I may have a hit the jackpot.” Danger announced quitely. Akula walked towards the stockpile of boxes containing what Danger needed. “That’s like... so many boxes. Did Oscura ever use these file because look, there’s like another 20 boxes containing 1 terrabyte hard drives, full to the brim. I have a question, Danger.” Akula said as Danger fished out a penknife from his shorts pocket and tried cutting open the boxes. “What’s that?” “Do you think Oscura had all the tools she need to take out the Legion of Speedfreaks? Because I can see sticks which say “Hypercars Folders 240001 to 250001.” Danger opened up the box he used the penknife for and opened it and closed in the span of ten seconds. “Well Akula.” Danger announced, putting his penknife away. “It appears that Oscura did in fact have the right cars to track down any car the Legion could build. I also think that she packaged them so well that she didn’t want them to fall into the wrong hands.” “Why’s that, Danger?” “This factory alone, throughout the course of ten years, built about 20.4 million vehicles, half of them alone were military vehicles like army personnel carriers, scout tanks, main battle tanks, et cetera. The two biggest things I realised is that the Alliance builds vehicles so awesome in their power, that they have to convoy escorted to avoid being detected by Legion of Speedfreaks. The other is that... I have no idea how I gonna get all of these back to HQ.” Danger replied while he was looking around. “Do you think you try, Danger?” Akula suggested. “That’s not possible.” Danger put his knuckles on his jaw. “The space in the Excelsior X can fit one of these if the size is six by six by two. The memory stick boxes are 12x12x8 and the hard drive ones are 20x20x12.” Akula was defeated in thought. “But I do have a plan, I’ve got a pickup truck back at Danger City and I might ask my friend Black Flame if she could lend a hand.” Danger said in confidence. “What sort of pickup have you got, Danger?” Akula was interested into what Danger had in mind. “A modified Ford Raptor made by Hennessey called the... VelociRaptor 6x6 in red.” “Wow.” Akula said in shock. “I’m calling Black Flame now, Akula.” Danger said he tried to ring Black Flame on his phone.
Chapter 8 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 2c - Retrieval Mission)View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 8 - The Calm Before the Storm (Part 2c - Retrieval Mission)Meanwhile, Danger City Legion of Speedfreaks HQ, Corridor towards Main Control Room, 21:48 Black Flame was heading towards the main control room where she was planning to meet Rainbow Dash in order to discuss something with her. Primarily about plans to create a new hypercar since having heard from Azura Dragonsfire that Oscura was planning to release OSC2 Valkyria into Oscura City, but if the Legion is not careful, it could be seen in Danger City. Before she could open the door, her phone rang and as she reached for it, she noticed is was coming from DangerDean. “Hi, Danger.” She said as she pressed the recieve button. “Hi, Black Flame.” Danger began. “I think I found something that might be benefical to the Legion.” Black Flame was getting intrigued by what Danger found. “What’s that, Danger.” “I may have found a big stash of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness memory sticks and hard drives. In total, I found a total of 55 boxes full of memory. I also realised that my car can’t carry all but one of the boxes.” Danger continued. “So, what are you suggesting, Danger?” Black Flame asked. “I think I may need your assistance. Is that alright?” Danger offered. “Danger, you don’t need to ask. Of course I’ll help you with what you need.” Black Flame said, agreeing to Danger’s offer. “So what vehicle do I need?” “Head over to the level -2 in the car park and the tenth vehicle to your right is a red Hennessey Velociraptor 6x6 and I wouldn’t recommend driving like 80 miles.” Danger said. “Why, Danger?” “Before I went to the Akula Autodrom, I installed a vehicle teleportation device for all of the cars in the car park. So that means when choose any vehicle, you select your destination and the teleporter would do all of the work for you.” Danger replied. “Do think it’s safe for humans though?” Black Flame became concerned. “Of course.” Danger said. “It’s not like Oscura’s as her’s in not callibrated for human tissue, there is also a twenty percent chance that the user would turn inside out when they re-materialise. That is also for Oscura’s teleporter though. What I’m doing right now, is that getting the boxes out of the main sector of the factory and put them next to my Excelsior and Akula’s Intimidator.” “OK, then. I shall see you in about a couple of minutes.” Black Flame announced as within seconds, she opened the door to the main control room where Rainbow was waiting for her arrival. Rainbow herself was typing on a keyboard as she found out that the Alliance of Extreme Darkness, thinking that the first round was a fluke, was planning a second wave of vehicles in order to capture Danger. Rainbow knew this would be another test of the Alliance’s capability to wield a vehicular army. The Vehicle War was beginning to become a test of two purposes: For Oscura and the Alliance, it was a matter of numbers. For Danger and the Legion of Speedfreaks however, it was a matter of cunning and evasion. Black Flame grabbed a chair and sat down next to Rainbow and grabbed a keyboard and began typing. “Err... Rainbow. I just had a weird feeling about Oscura, you know.” Black Flame sighed as she had two things on her mind. One being Oscura and the second was Midnight Skies as things got worse for her over the past couple of hours. Danger noticed that when he got up in the morning that Midnight was worried and scared that Oscura may find her and she will kill her for treachery. “What’s that, Black Flame?” “I don’t know, Rainbow. It’s just that the amount that Oscura despises Danger is starting to affect us all. She’s trying to put as much blood, sweat, tears, rage to eradicate Danger and convert the entire population of Danger City, which is 253.267 million, to join the Alliance. And those who fail to accept the terms of Oscura... is extremely punished. So punished in fact that some... would never see the next sunrise on the horizon.” Black Flame replied to Rainbow’s eariler question. “Geez, Black Flame.” Rainbow became shocked by what came out of Black Flame’s mouth. “How do you know this?” “12 years ago, I met a girl who had a similar personality as you, Dashie, but only a bit younger than you. She was called Tenerbrisa Galaxia, I used to go to Danger’s favourite ice-cream parlour with her and she loved also Danger City from every square mile of the City.” Black Flame began. “What happened afterwards?” “2 months later, after she told me that she got her dream job at Sparkopolis and loved every second of it, I looked into the database and noticed something on her surname. Her surname was Galaxia, which means one thing... she may have been one of Oscura’s relatives.” Black Flame continued. “I didn’t know that at first, but a few hours later, I heard that she was kidnapped by the former leader of the Alliance of Extreme Darkness, Chandra Cinderblade, where they took her to the Alliance of Extreme Darkness HQ at Maledicta City. She was interrogated for about three hours by four AED soldiers until they left because Oscura’s mother, Rosa Estrella Galaxia, who was supposed to be the new leader of the Alliance. But Lolestra Cassiopoeia Maledicta who was Oscura’s youngest cousin, nominated Oscura as the new Queen of Darkness if anything happens to Chandra Cinderblade.” She sighed. “What did happen to Chandra Cinderblade was displaying a unusual behaviour towards Oscura, similar to how she ended up becoming Danger’s primeval nemesis. She started attacking Oscura and she said she is not able to become the title that Lolestra told her previously. Then Chandra noticed something that, inevitably, brought her to her demise. She accidently opened up a portal to lead to Tartarus. Seeing this as the potential moment, Oscura pushed her into the portal and Chandra rolled down the stairway to the bottom of Tartarus, she was still alive but was heavily injured and the Tartarus guard took her to the medication area.” Rainbow was amazed by the amount of knowledge Black Flame possessed. “Back in Equestria, about seven months before the Battle of Paradise City, Twilight Sparkle noticed on her bookshelf that was written by Oscura.” Black Flame became a little bit emotinonal in the tone of her voice. “As she read through the pages, she noticed that Oscura was a evil doppelganger of herself and warned Celestia that she may come in the future. Celestia didn’t believe her first, but a few minutes later, Oscura appeared and criticised her in a hostile tone, saying that she’s unfit to rule and that there needs to be a dramatic change in Equestria. Thinking that she had gone insane, Celestia sent Twilight to Ponyville to warn her freinds that Oscura is on Equestrian soil and will do anything in her power to spark her downfall.” Rainbow became a bit suprised as to how Oscura turned up into Equestria in the first place and in her pony form. A few seconds later, Black Flame’s phone rang. “That might be Danger, Black Flame.” Rainbow guessed. And it was. “Danger, what is it?” Black Flame asked Danger. “Black Flame, I managed to get all of the boxes out of the abandoned factory without the superstructure of the building disintergrating. Me and Akula are awaiting your arrival.” Danger replied on his phone. “No problems, Danger. I’ll be there.” Black Flame announced and ended the call. Rainbow knew that Danger was waiting for Black Flame any second. “You can tell me tomorrow can’t you?” Rainbow asked. “I suppose so.” Black Flame sighed. “But I will tell you this, Oscura is more than an enemy to the Legion of Speedfreaks... she is an enemy to Canterlot City as well.” “OK. I’ll be aware of this.” Rainbow understood Black Flame’s warning thoroughly. “In the meantime, I’ll tell Danger that I’ve picked up another possible squad of vehicles to hunt us.” Meanwhile An abandoned Alliance of Extreme Darkness Car Factory 12 miles from the Akula Autodrom, 22:05 While Black Flame was en-route to the underground car park, Danger was having another look at the multitude of memory sticks and was as indisicive as ever. Akula on the other hand, was a bit puzzled as to why Oscura and the Alliance of Extreme Darkness was planning something major, or something that could lead to anything that the Legion of Speedfreak couldn’t handle. He could tell Danger but he was too occupied with the current matter on his hand. Two seconds later, Danger heard his phone go off and put one of the memory sticks he was holding back into the box and reached for his phone which Rainbow found some more of Oscura’s warriors. “Rainbow, how it’s going.” Danger greeted, but was not aware that Rainbow might throw something Oscura related. “Pretty fine, Danger. But I think Oscura is planning another skirmish tomorrow.” Rainbow replied. Something was not right. Oscura failed the first time because of the amount of cunning he and Aria had. “Err... vehicles specificatons?” “12 F-850 Venators and four Oscura Assualt Vehicles OAV6 Impalers.” Rainbow gave out the information she found when she was talking to Black Flame. “Also, just to let you know, Black Flame is on her way.” “Thanks, Dashie. See you later then, Bye.” Danger ended the call. Akula then faced Danger as he heard the words ‘Oscura’ and ‘skirmish’. “Is your nemesis planning what I think she is?” Akula asked. Danger nodded. “Exactly, the vehicles the Alliance are using are F-850 Venators and OAV6 Impalers.” Danger said, looking on his phone for more details on Oscura’s invasion force. “What are OAV6 Impalers, Danger?” “They look like a mix between a F-150 Raptor, Lamborghini Urus and a Rolls-Royce Phantom with two 8.4 liter V10 engines producing 2570 horsepower and do 335 mph, more than my Excelsior. They also have custom 60-calibre machine guns mounted on the roof of them.” Danger explained. “Remember, Danger, they will lunching on Demon Lord fumes from my Intimidator, you know.” Akula said, confidently but Danger wasn’t convinced. “Akula, I don’t think your Intimidator is strong enough to withstand the sheer number of Oscura’s forces.” Danger said. “Why.” “Because... as the Intimidator is a Formula-spec car, there will be a lot of weak points and the chances are that the car might not see another mile if the Alliance has anything do with. But I got an idea.” Danger replied. He noticed beforehand that all the non-millitary vehicles were in the memory sticks and the hard-drives contained the rest. Akula was interested in what Danger had in mind. “Do you want me to create a vehicle that is stronger than the OAV6 Impalers and faster... and more powerful.” He offered. “Sure, why not. But make sure that it has the words ‘Demon Lord Assault Vehicle’ on it.” Akula replied with Danger completely forgetting the fact that Akula is called the ‘Demon Lord’. With the echo of an approaching Velociraptor, Akula then looked at the time, being 22:07. “Danger, I think Chrysalis might be wanting my presence soon. Is it OK if I depart? Normally because I think you’ll need some rest before the next stage of the Battle of Danger City.” Akula asked Danger. “Sure, go ahead, my friend.” Danger replied and Akula went back into the Intimidator, turned on the engine and drove into an eastly direction with Black Flame parking the Velociraptor right next to his Excelsior. Black Flame got out of the Velociraptor and faced Danger. “Hey, Danger. I see you’ve been busy with all these boxes. What’s in them?” Black Flame asked him. “The shorter boxes contains memory sticks and the longer boxes contains the hard drives.” Danger replied. “Let’s get these bad boys back to the HQ and tomorrow...” Black Flame announced while rubbing her hands. “we will be ready for whatever Oscura throws at us.” After about 3 minutes of loading the boxes into the bed of the Velociraptor, Black Flame and Danger went back into their cars and headed back to Danger City where they need to prepare for the next stage of the Battle of Danger City.
Chapter 9 - Meeting the 'Countess of Eternal Speed' + The Second Skirmish Part 1View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 9 - Meeting the 'Countess of Eternal Speed' + The Second Skirmish Part 1The next day, Oscura City Alliance of Extreme Darkness HQ, 10:15 Things were going smoothly for the Legion of Speedfreaks as they recieve the large shipment full of the Alliance’s files which Danger brought in last night. There were originally going to be used for the destruction of Danger’s team but it fell into the hands of the Legion. Since the files that were abandoned had no meaning to them now, it must have been a front to attract anyone or anything to use it for their own deeds. Meanwhile, Adagio Dazzle was in the Alliance’s car manufacturing plant which looked identical to the plant that the Legion of Speedfreaks uses. She was in the process of finishing off her newest creation as her Rossolini LM Classic was obliterated during the Battle of Paradise City. Her creation was a hypercar desgined to look like half Ford GT and half Ferrari 330 P4 with a 7.7 liter twin-supercharged V8 producing 2160 horsepower and 1631 torque. She called it the DZLE1 Adorer. As she finished with the engine bay. Estrella Dragonheart opened the door to the room where Adagio was working. “I say, nice wheels there, Adagio.” Estrella said taking a glimpse at the Adorer. “Why, thanks so much, Estrella.” Adagio put her hand on her heart at how good that compliement Estrella made. “I was making this yesterday but I need to check under the car for any gas leakages.” “Why, Miss Dazzle?” Estrella asked. “I have a habit of not checking the gas tank.” Adagio replied, while underneath the chassis of the car and hoping not to get any fluid on her full-body leather outfit. She treasured the outfit ever since she joined the Alliance of Extreme Darkness and she became good friends with Estrella. Not so much Oscura as she had a flashback to when Oscura pointed her Desert Eagle at her back at Paradise City. “Anyways, Oscura told me to remind you that she’s planning a second wave.” Estrella informed Adagio as she saw her get up from underneath the DZLE1. “When are we setting off. ‘Cause, A, I’m nearly finished with the car and B... it’s a 100 miles from here to Danger City and it’s not a small city.” “Err...” Estrella looked at her phone displaying the time: 10:17. “We’ll give you as long as you need. After that, we will set off at 1100 hours on the dot as Oscura planned. Then... we will show Danger and his allies what we are made off!” She then explained the course of the plan. Later, Adagio had a thought about something. Something related to Oscura. “What’s Oscura doing, I dare ask?” She said, deadpanned. “She’s talking to her sister. Primarily about Danger, knowing her.” Estrella replied, feeling her pain somewhat. “Who?” “Anastasia Galaxia.” Estrella said. “Oh.” Adagio realised who Estrella meant. “Who’s Anatasia?” She then asked. Estrella facepalmed at how dumb Adagio was when she made that comment. Meanwhile, Danger City Legion of Speedfreaks HQ, Top Floor Corridor, 10:20 Applejack was on her phone talking to one of her old friends, Ra-Ra, known as the ‘Countess of Eternal Speed’ and as Countess Coloratura. Spitfire, Danger and Rainbow noticed her doing like this as they were walking across the corridor. “Hey, Danger.” Spitfire looked at Danger being a bit supicious as to what is coming out of Applejack’s mouth. “Applejack’s been talking to her for about half an hour. What will become the outcome of this?” “Could be a bait or something, this is getting a bit suspicious.” Rainbow thought as she folded her arms. “Actually, Dashie.” Danger interjected. “Ra-Ra’s a good friend of AJ and I think there may be an offer she can’t resist.” “What’s that, Danger?” Spitfire asked.” “An offer for her to become a Speedfreak Legionnare.” Danger replied. Spitfire and Rainbow’s eyebrows were raised at Danger comment and they eyes were fixated at him. “What put that idea in your mind!” Rainbow exclaimed. She hoped that Applejack didn’t hear her voice. But she didn’t. “Rainbow, when is Danger ever wrong? All right, he may have a brain shaped like an explicibly popular fishing float. But he does operate from a system of total logic and we would fools to ignore his sage council.” 2 seconds later, Spitfire, Danger and Rainbow decided to leave Applejack to it. “I just can’t get the staff these days, do I?” Danger said to himself as his ego was still not as perfect as it was before having been damaged since Oscura first held him at gunpoint back at Paradise City. “Anyways, I have an idea for you, Spitfire.” “What’s that?” “Do you fancy a faster car?” Danger offered. Spitfire wasn’t too sure about what’s going through Danger’s mind at that moment. “What you mean by that, Danger?” “Well, Rainbow told me last night, while I was with Akula at the abandoned factory, that Oscura was planning an attack on us with 12 Venators and six OAV6 Impalers. She also told me this morning that she’s setting of at 11. So...” Danger said. “Danger’s right, Spitfire.” Rainbow reinforced Danger’s idea. “Every day that passes, Oscura’s vehicles are getting faster and the Alliance is getting more members to compete with us. Danger City is counting on us. “I know that basically the whole world is counting on us, Dash.” Spitfire interjected. “But Dean gave me a good question that I can’t decide on.” “It’s not like I’m trying to liviate the pressure off of us... and the rest of the Legion.” Rainbow continued. “But what I’m saying... is the truth. The amount of hatred Oscura has with Danger is astronomical. It’s vice versa with how much Danger hates Oscura. But you do need a faster car than the modified Bugatti Chiron you used previously.” “OK, Rainbow, you got me.” Spitfire announced. “Danger, I accept.” Danger was pleased and told her to follow him to the car manufacturing base. Meanwhile, Applejack was still on her phone, she didn’t hear Rainbow’s voice as she was in the middle of a conversion with Ra-Ra. As she was talking, the three of the five main assets of the Legion of Speedfreaks, were heading towards the car base, or as Danger calls it, the crucible of his masterpieces. “Ah think that I might heard somethin’ ‘bout his team, me thinks.” Applejack said. “Who, Applejack?” “Danger, he keeps on buildin’ crazy vehicles to combat this Oscura.” Applejack replied. “You mean Oscura Galaxia?” Ra-Ra concluded. Applejack nodded. “Yeah, she gives me shivers.” “It sounds like he needs some assistance. AJ. Building vehicular masterpieces is like creating music. Do you think I should send him a dial to discuss with him?” Ra-Ra offered. “Do what ya gotta do, Ra-Ra. Ah’ will see ya later, then.” “Sure thing, AJ. Bye.” After Applejack ended the call, she isn’t liking on going with Danger and Oscura. Even though she is in the right team, the Legion of Speedfreaks. She was fearing her own evil version of herself, Rotten Apple. “Ah’m not likin’ this one bit.” Applejack said to herself. “If Danger’s still in a freak contest with her. Ah’ can only predict that there will be no winners.” After that, Applejack headed to the vehicle base so she build a muscle car that’s in the calibre. What Applejack doesn’t know that Legion of Speedfreaks is handling former Alliance of Extreme Darkness technology, hence why Danger and Black Flame launched a retrival mission to collect the abandoned memory sticks and hard drives, which suceeded. What she also doesn’t know, is that aside from being Danger City Legion of Speedfreaks HQ, Main Vehicle Production Base, 10:23 In the vehicle base, Lightning Dust, Aria Blaze, Twilight Sparkle, Black Flame and Crimsonia Dragonsfire were hard at work finishing off their latest creations. Because they each heard from Rainbow Dash that Oscura was planning a second wave. They were also accompanied with Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Azura Dragonsfire, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Lightning was working on a variant of the LD3 Thunderstorm with 3500 horsepower but with the same amount of torque as the original version. She thinks that the LD3 Thunderstorm 3500 (as she calls it) is faster than the original. Aria, Black Flame, Crimsonia and Twilight were working on a new supercar for Starlight, called STR056 Starhunter. Before they created it, they looked into the new repository of cars that Danger transfered over to the main hard drive which took all of last night to download. Even though the car files were transfered, the army vehicles took all the hard drives. Danger insisted that the remaining files would be transfered while they are doing things in the background. The STR056 Starhunter had resemblance to a Lamborghini Veneno and a 992-series Porsche, powered by the same engine used in the DGR15 Excelsior R, which has 170 horsepower less than the Excelsior X. Starlight tested the Dragonhunter 5 days before the Battle of Paradise City. The top speed was 314 miles per hour. Sunset Shimmer had finished working on the SUN001 Sunchaser which, like Starlight, used one of the new files Danger synchronised to the main drive. The SUN001 Sunchaser is powered by a custom built 8.75 twin-turbo V12 producing 2,265 horsepower, Sunset was last to know that Oscura was on the offensive, the reason is because she was originally busy comforting Midnight Skies who had recovered from the voices of Oscura. She was told by both she and Danger. that she doesn’t have to worry about her any longer. Danger, Rainbow and Spitfire entered the room and Danger headed towards the DGR16 Ghostwrath and he was planning to tune the suspension for when he changes the driving mode to MegaSport+, mostly because he installed the mode before all the Alliance of Extreme Darkness vehicle files (the non-millitary ones) were callibrated on the repository. Danger was going to do that later and wanted to auto-build an Alliance of Extreme Darkness vehicle for Spitfire. But before he could do this. He noticed that lots of text was going upwards on the screen. “Rainbow, the boards have gone literally loco-boco.” Danger said, having noticed a tsunami of files on the touch screen. “I did a memory clone on the supercar files, this morning, Danger. I started it after breakfast and err... there’s about 28 million files all together. Luckily, the technology we use means that it copies 600,000 files in a span of an hour. So if you do the math that’s...” “Just shy of two days?” Danger guessed. And he was correct. “But I put four clone adapters to make it copy 2.4 million files in an hour which means it only takes 12 hours, So at 10:25 this evening, we can use the copied files to our advantage.” Rainbow said as she tapped on the previous menu, letting the file cloning carry on regardless as whether it would be switched on or off. She then pressed a file named ‘OSC09445’. She noticed that the car name was a OHC Project 1 Halcyon Destroyer. Next, she created a duplicate of the file and named ‘SPI00004’ She named the car ‘Spitfire Racing Cars SPI1 Flamechaser.’ The file then was sent to auto-build and within seconds, a bright-orange hypercar, resembling a Ferrari LaFerrari and a Raesr Tachyon became visible to Rainbow’s eyes. “Do you think we will still use the files before you cloned them, Rainbow?” Danger then asked, because he just had an idea. “Definitely, I transfered all the pre-made files before we went into sleep mode, which took the whole of last night,” Rainbow responded. Sunset Shimmer walked towards Danger and Rainbow as she heard the conversion in the background. Sunset was wearing a full sleeved shirt with her cutie mark in the center with two symbols on each side. The symbols consisted of two S’s interlocked like a keychain. She was also wearing tight-fitting jeans and the same boots she wore during the Friendship Games. “What are you talking about, Rainbow?” Sunset asked, “It’s just what Danger and Black Flame brought in last night. About... 28 million files, no less.” Rainbow replied, facing Sunset in the process. “You know that’s Oscura’s files though, right?” Sunset then thought as Rainbow and Danger at each other. “There was one thing that was bothering as of recently, Dean. You’ve been with this ‘Demon Lord’ and you stole this many files from Oscura?” Sunset was on the verge on being angry. Starlight heard the words ‘Demon Lord' and walked towards Sunset. “Danger, has your brain gone 404? Why did you transfer rogue files onto our drive?” Starlight demanded. But before he could speak, his phone rang. Danger looked at it was... Akula. “One moment, girls. Rainbow, please keep them talking.” Danger asked, facing Rainbow. Danger walked out of the room to get a break from the conversion which is current getting mildly tepid. “Hi, Akula.” Danger greeted. “Oh, hi Danger, I’ve heard from Chrysalis that you do have more important matters in your own hands. She said that wants to help you in your fight against Oscura.” Akula said over the phone. “That’s brilliant, Akula. But there was something I didn’t say to you last night. During the retrival mission.” Danger complimented, but his face was showing concern. “What’s that, Dean?” “During the Battle of Paradise City. Chrysalis pulled a sneaky on the Legion and sent four Hunter Civillians to take us out.” Danger replied, sighing afterwards. “When was this, Danger?” Akula then asked. “Err... about three days ago.” “OK, I tell Chrysalis about that, she may have mistaken you as Oscura.” Akula then announced. “Really?” Danger was shocked by this. He knew that Akula speaks the word of truth. “I received the email containing the file for the 1Q30, by the way. Thanks for sending to me.” Akula then said. “Your welcome, Akula!” Danger was pleased that the millitary vehicle he sent to him arrived. “When are you coming to Danger City?” “1100 hours, when the Alliance is setting off.” “OK, then. See you later then, bye.” Danger ended the call and headed back into the main vehicle base. But before he could open the door. His phone rang again. This time it was... his nemesis. Oscura Galaxia. “Why do I have Oscura on my contacts?” Danger said to himself and answered it. He knew he would be digging his own grave by doing this. “What you do want?” He sighed, having becoming bored of her, ever since the Battle of Paradise City. “I want to tell you this, Danger. We will be setting of in 35 minutes. At normal road conditions, we will arrive on the outskirts of Danger City in about 50 minutes. I hope you will be expecting our arrival soon.” Oscura said. “I will capture you and handcuff you to a column and I, personally will interogate you... and you will answer all of my questions I will ask you. Failure to do this... will result... in your agonising death.” Danger was not interested. “Do you understand, Danger? Or am I going to say it again?” Oscura then demanded. Still not being interested, he ended the call, pissing off Oscura in tandem. Seconds later, his phone rang a third time. This it was... Ra-Ra. Which brought Danger’s attention. “Danger, here.” “Oh hello, Danger. It’s me, Ra-Ra. I heard from Applejack that someone is making your life hell. I’m wondering if I could assist you with this.” Ra-Ra said. Danger was intrigued. “I’m listening.” “Actually, I have an idea.” Ra-Ra then announced. “Meet me at the Arrow Point Club west of the Central Firespark District, they willl let you in as you have special permission off me and I will tell you everything.” “How far is it?” Danger asked, “About 5 miles.” “OK, then. I’ll make my way there then,” Danger ended the call and made his way to the underground car park. Starlight meanwhile, wasn’t in the best of moods for two reasons: One, the fact that Black Flame, Rainbow and Danger put Alliance of Extreme Darkness files into their Legion’s mane drive. And two, Danger allying himself with Akula made her anger levels rise. Into ‘proto-Oscura’ levels. Black Flame meanwhile, knew that Akula hates Starlight as much as Oscura hates Danger. She was about to lash on Rainbow for what she had done. But Twilight talked her out of it. Aria then headed towards Rainbow, who was feeling down-hearted after her argument with Starlight and Sunset. “Rainbow, don’t feel bad about this. She’s just having one of her rivalry moments again.” Aria tried to comfort her. “OK, Aria. I believe you.” Rainbow replied. Meanwhile, Oscura City Alliance of Extreme Darkness HQ, 10:30 While Danger headed towards the heart of Danger. Oscura was still talking to Anastasia and five minutes ago, Tenebrisa Galaxia, who was the girl and Black Flame met 12 years ago, joined in the conversion five minutes eariler. “Remember Oscura.” Anastasia said. “I’m your sister... and I know you want grab Danger by the neck and strangle him to death. But you have to realise... that Danger has a IQ of like... 400.” Oscura understood what Anastasia said, but her mentioning Danger’s name makes her heart sink. “Anastasia, I understand how much I hate Danger, which quite frankly, it’s beyond the scale. But you don’t have to mention the fact he’s quite skilled at everything he does.” Oscura said, putting her left hand on her left cheek as she sat down on the couch. “I’ve been a victim of Danger’s activities less than you have, sis.” Tenebrisa implied, poking on the fact that Oscura and Danger has been fierce enemies forever. “So I have a reason to argue on this.” “You never will!” Oscura shouted. “For the past ten years, I been planning my damn revenge on him. My inner demons told me that it never work.” “I don’t know why you bother sometimes.” Tenebrisa teased. This angered Anastasia a bit. “Can you not, Tenebrisa.” “Sorry.” Tenebrisa apologised. “But it’s true.” Anastasia facepalmed. “Oh, please Sombra, help me.” Oscura muttered under her breath, while lying down on the couch with her hands on her hand. She wanted the Battle of Danger City to end after her fleet of Venators and Impalers sparked Danger’s downfall.

Chapter 10 - Meeting the 'Countess of Eternal Speed' + The Second Skirmish Part 2View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 10 - Meeting the 'Countess of Eternal Speed' + The Second Skirmish Part 2“What are you implying, Tenebrisa.” Anastasia said, much to her ire. “You know that we can’t just like give in to the Legion. They will probably reform us like what happened to Midnight Skies.” “I know, Anastasia!” Oscura sighed in anger having what. “You don’t have to remind us that, not even to me right now!” “Yeah, Tenebrisa!” Anastasia agreed. “You can’t just like predict the inevitable just like that. Danger is waiting for our arrvial like the smart bastard he is.” Tenebrisa was nodding her head in annoyance, thinking that she doesn’t want to be in the conversation any more. “I’m going to see Adagio. I just can’t be bothered to listen to your moaning, Oscura.” Tenebrisa said after hearing Oscura sighing her heart out eariler. Oscura sat up on the couch after Tenebrisa left the room, feeling a bit sorry for herself, which to most, is a one-in-a-month opportunity. “What’s up with her?” Oscura said. “Don’t know in the slightest. Besides, there’s more to our family than there was before, I just realised that when you were battling Danger in your motorsport career.” Anastasia said after Tenebrisa closed the door. “Why’s that?” “If I explain it to you right now, you’ll probably pin me towards a wall. Like you always do!” Anastasia replied to Oscura’s question, knowing the dangers of Oscura’s rage levels. Two seconds later, a knock came from the door and Anastasia quickly answered, revealing Estrella Dragonheart. “What news do you bring to us, Estrella?” Anastasia asked her. “I have news for Oscura.” Estrella replied. “Uh oh?” Anastasia muttered under her breath, thinking she might hear an rage explosion from her sister, the one who has a decade-long grudge with the British Speedfreak, DangerDean. “What is it?” “I just recieved word that one of our abandoned factories... has been looted by the Legion of Speedfreaks.” Estrella said, which led to silence. Then, the silence was broken by Oscura. “WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!” Oscura was in her rage form with her eyes turning blood red again. Seeing this, Anastasia quickly left the room, fearing that Oscura may lash out on her own sister. “I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INACCESSABLE SINCE WE ABANDONED IT, A FEW YEARS AGO! HOW THE ABSOULTE FUCK DID DANGER LOOT IT?! HE MUST HAVE THE BRAIN OF A SCALPED CRASH TEST DUMMY TO BE ABLE TO PILLAGE ABANDONED PROPERITY OF THE ALLIANCE! WHICH HE DOES! I WILL KILL HIM FOR THIS! I... WILL... KILL HIM!” Esterlla knew from the beginning that Oscura wouldn’t take it kindly. Meanwhile. Danger City Arrow Point Club, Central Firespark District, 10:40 While Oscura was literally imploding, Ra-Ra was waiting outside the entrance of Arrow Point where the sound of Danger’s Excelsior X can be heard inside the building. Ra-Ra quickly waved ‘Hello’ to Danger as he parked outside the club’s entrance. After Danger got out, he made his way towards the club where Ra-Ra was waiting. Danger noticed that Ra-Ra was wearing her stage outfit when she goes by her stage name, Countess Coloratura. But what Danger didn’t know about her, is that she also known as the Countess of Eternal Speed and her vehicle, the RA01 LaColoratura, which was parked behind Danger’s Excelsior, reflected that. “Danger, I think you know I that called you eariler this morning.” Ra-Ra started. “Now before you speak, I know what you’re going say. Firstly, I will join the Legion of Speedfreaks. Mostly because I don’t want to see Svengallop any more. He’s like not the person you want to dine with.” “I wasn’t planning to. Svengallop’s the sort of person that any of the Legion wouldn’t want to go in public with.” Danger said, agreeing to what Ra-Ra said about Svengallop. “I’m glad you agree with me on this.” Ra-Ra complimented Danger before hearing footsteps. “What’s that?” Danger heard something familiar that was walking around the floor above them. “It’s Svengallop. He’s coming to chat with me about something. And...” Ra-Ra then went a little sad with herself. “And what?” Danger asked. “He doesn’t want to see you.” Danger then realised and headed back to his Excelsior as a hint to Ra-Ra to go with him. Quickly, Ra-Ra followed suit and got in her LaColoratura and followed Danger as he sped off a few seconds later. Meanwhile, Danger City Legion of Speedfreaks HQ, Main Vehicle Production Base, 10:45 While Danger and Ra-Ra headed back to the headquarters as time is not on their side, Black Flame was talking to Starlight who was still pissed off with Danger after what he did with Oscura’s vehicle files. “Starlight, listen to me. We’re not going to win this battle if just our own files get used. Because Danger told me last night that we need a bit of more of a... how should I put this? Variety.” “I see where you’re getting at, Black Flame.” Starlight sighed. “And I understand that we have bigger matters at hand, but Danger needs to tell you in advance. Because... I’m no computer expert, but it could be a one-way ticket to a virus.” Black Flame turned her attention to Rainbow. “Rainbow, were there any viruses when you transfered the files to the main drive.” Black Flame then asked. “Err... no. Because I did a virus-check to inspect and see if there is a virus code in each of the memory sticks.” Rainbow replied. “Did it work?” “Yes.” Rainbow concluded. “All of the memory sticks didn’t have any viruses. I think Danger deleted the virus activation code. I don’t know how he managed it. But... it’s impressive.” Meanwhile, Applejack was talking to Twilight, probably over Danger meeting Ra-Ra which Twilight was shocked about. “Danger has Ra-Ra on his contacts?” “Yeah, why?” Applejack. “Wait till the others here about this.” Twilight announced. Few seconds later, Twilight changed her mind. “Actually, I’m not gonna tell him.” Applejack was surprised. “I have to do right thing here, Applejack. Which is keep is secret for now, then blackmail him later when I need something.” Twilight said. “All right, Twi.” Applejack said and returned to her muscle car which resembles a Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Viper. The car was called AJ2000GT. Rainbow meanwhile, was wondering on what vehicle to use for the upcoming storm, the upcoming skirmish with Oscura. Her choices were the Pulsar GT2400X or the GT2800X. After about two minutes of pondering, she decided on the GT2800X and she didn’t regret her decision afterwards. Meanwhile, Oscura City Alliance of Extreme Darkness HQ, Main Hall, 10:58 While the Legion of Speedfreaks prepared their forces to withstand the brunt of whatever the Alliance of Extreme Darkness may throw at them, Adagio was finishing off cleaning her DZLE1 Adorer which she decided to use for the skirmish. A few seconds later, she noticed Oscura was walking towards her OSC2 Valkyria, looking extremely rough. Probably having heard of their abandoned properity being looted by Danger and Black Flame. Adagio doesn’t want to say anything. Basically, she wanted to avoid being on the recieving end of a punch from Oscura. She also noticed that Anastasia, who left the room where Oscura was because, knowing that she and Danger are fierce enemies and the fact Adagio heard Oscura’s voice eariler. Inferno Tempest knew from the start that Oscura wants Danger to be gone from this planet, but everytime she does this, it fails miserably for Oscura. Always. Then Adagio had a thought which involved Danger City and something that rest of the Alliance didn’t think of using. The portal. After Estrella entered the vehicle hangar, Adagio rushed towards with the idea in her mind. “Hey, Estrella. I have an idea.” She said trying to convince her. “What is it.” “Why don’t... we use the teleporter. It would take us nano-seconds to reach Danger City.” “That’s not a bad idea.” She said as she turned her attention towards Anastasia and Oscura. “Activate the portal, please.” Oscura didn’t think of using teleporter beforehand, she understood that it would take no time at all to reach the Legion of Speedfreaks. In the span of two minutes, the 12 F-850 Venators and four OAV6 Impalers, Oscura’s OSC2 Valkyria, Anastasia’s ASC1 NightReaper, Tenebrisa’s THC1 Valhalla X, Estrella’s EST1 Dragonhunter X and Inferno’s INF207 Flamethrower were at the outskirts of Danger City, heading towards the heart of the city, The Legion of Speedfreaks HQ.
Chapter 11 - The End of the First Stage (The Second Skirmish Part 3)View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 11 - The End of the First Stage (The Second Skirmish Part 3)With the Alliance heading for the Legion of Speedfreaks HQ. Rainbow who was finishing up setting up the console on her GTX2800R, heard a ‘red alert’ siren. She quickly headed towards the lift for the penthouse where the rest of her friends were. Rainbow thought to herself of the danger of what the Alliance has. Has Oscura reached her maximum breaking point with Danger? Only time will tell. She knows that only 17 vehicles were heading for the HQ. The 12 F850 Venators, the four OAV6 Impalers and Oscura. But could she bring more reinforcements? Rainbow was not looking to confident but knows that Danger could have some tricks. Even with the help from Akula. Danger meanwhile, was talking to Blazey about her hypercar she created half an hour ago, the LionBlade V3175GT, which is a 323 mile an hour rocket, as she claims. The LionBlade resembles a Ferrari 430 Scuderia at the rear, Lamborghini Veneno at the top and a Aston Martin DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo at the front. Blazey was also talking to Danger about his hypercar plans, such as his car for next year, the DGR18 Shuriken, named after one of the two groups in the Battle of Paradise City, a car which Danger plans to give to Rainbow Dash as next year’s birthday present. He was going to call it the RBD Vision Pulsar X. Two seconds later, Rainbow burst into the room. “Danger, they’ve arrived on the outskirts of Danger City... in less than three seconds and they are heading southbound as we speak.” Rainbow announced. Danger quickly got up from the couch and slammed the button to sound the alarm to warn the rest of the Legion that Oscura is coming with a vengeance. While the Legion scrambled, Anti-Pinks was wondering if she would intervene if anything happens to the squad. But she thought of her nemesis, Pinkie Pie, how she became disgusted of her persistent happiness.. and how much she wanted to strangle, or even worse, kill her. She turned towards her friends, Rotten Apple, Diamond Rush and Shadow Wings. “Do you think that the Legion will be able to beat us?” Shadow Wings asked Anti-Pinks. “I don’t know, Shadow Wings. I just hope the rest are OK. If not... we will join the battle.” But Rotten Apple had her own opinion. “But Anti-Pinks. You may remember what to happened to us in Paradise City. We got our cars destroyed.” “We’ll build new ones then.” Pinkie was being too over-confident, even though the horrors of Paradise City tried to get the better of her. “Darling, Mistress Galaxia has left the door to vehicle base locked. We can’t get in without permission.” Diamond Rush said. Anti-Pinks was at her breaking point. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN!” She bellowed as Oscura-style anger flowed through her. “WE NEED TO JOIN THE BATTLE... so I can teach Pinkie Pie a lesson or two!” This got Rotten Apple interested but Diamond Rush was trying to talk out of Anti-Pinks’ stupid idea but to no avail. “How are you going to do this?” Rotten Apple asked. “We hack our way to the main garage, there should be at least four F850’s spare we can use, then we use the teleporter to send us to the outskirts of Danger City.” Anti-Pinks had displayed a Oscura-esque hatred towards Pinkie Pie. Meanwhile, a convoy of hypercars led by the Excelsior X of Danger and the Pulsar GTX2800R of Rainbow Dash appeared out of the garage doors that slid apart. The rest of the convoy consisted of Aria’s AB1 Furyblaze, Spitfire’s SPI1 Flamechaser, Lightning’s LD3 Thunderstorm 3500, Crimsonia’s CRD1 Crimsonblaze Azura’s ARD1 Sapphire, Black Flame’s modified version of Danger’s Excelsior which is called the DGR15 Excelsior Dark Inferno Edition, Blazey’s LionBlade V3175GT, Sparky’s CougarBlaze V2975R, Applejack’s AJ2000GT and Twilight’s new hypercar, the TWI4 Andromeda with Starlight’s STR056 Starhunter and Sunset’s SUN001 Sunchaser bring up the rear end. As the group passed 186th Street, Danger looked on his GPS and found out that Oscura is on 240th Street and is on the move. Then Applejack came on Danger’s CB. “You think that’s all they’re bringin’, sugarcube?” “Beats me AJ, they are on 225th and only 39 streets way from us so...” Danger replied. “Ya tellin’ me that like ya afraid of her.” Applejack said, poking on the fact that Danger has a decade of history between him and Oscura. “Can you hang on a minute while I speak to Akula?” Danger asked her. Starlight heard the name ‘Akula’ again. “Not him!” She thought to herself. Luckily for Danger, the streets in Danger City were 450 meters separating from each other so he had plenty of time to contact Akula. “AK, this is Speedfreak, Oscura’s forces are heading southbound on 26th Avenue.” Danger said on the CB. “Copy, Speedfreak. Where is your group at the moment? 26th Avenue?” Akula then asked Danger. “Affirmative, AK, the group is still on the same avenue. Where are you right now?” “Well I didn’t know that Oscura would arrive in Danger City in like... three seconds. Give me about two minutes so I can use the teleporter. Where do you want me to put the location to Danger?” Akula said. “174th would be a safe choice, Akula. Anyways, I have visual on Oscura’s forces.” Danger then announced as he saw the OSC2 Valkyria coming for him.” “OK, Good luck. You’re gonna need it.” Akula said, ending the transmission. Two seconds later, Rainbow and Danger head westbound towards the city center. Danger thought there will be lot of traffic. But last time, he didn’t account of the G63’s that Oscura used two days ago, the ram plows. The OAV6 Impalers also have ram plows, much to Danger’s delusion. Meanwhile, Oscura saw the Legion’s elite heading west and was ready to give her orders. “OK, girls and boys of the DangerDean Extermination Force. You have waited long and hard for this moment to come...the day the Legion of Speedfreaks CRUMBLES TO ASHES AND DUST! You may attack when ready.” Oscura’s OSC2 Valkyria picked up speed and within seconds, all 21 vehicles were on the charge, to eliminate the Legion of Speedfreaks. Rainbow looked on her mirrors and saw the 12 F-850 Venators. All of them. “Err. Danger. We have company.” Rainbow worryingly said. “Nothing we can’t handle, Dashie-girl.” Danger said. “Remember, Dash, we have thrashed them before... we can do it again.” Spitfire said, trying to increase Rainbow’s confidence. “I agree with what Spitfire said, Dash.” Aria said over the radio. “We can do this, Dashie.” Black Flame said. “We may be outnumbered, but we will never, EVER, go down without a fight.” “Oh thanks.” Dash was speechless and with a tear of happiness flowed, she was ready to plant the gas pedal down and within seconds, an echo of fourty thousand horsepower can be heard throughout Danger City. Back in Oscura City, Anti-Pinks entered the vehicle production room by doing the following: overriding the code to enter and deleting the password required to enter the room. Anti-Pinks thought this might piss off Oscura slightly. “All right, girls. Choose what vehicles you want. Shadow Wings, you’ve already got your Porsche all set up. It’s just me, Rotten Apple and Diamond Rush. We WILL join that before-” Anti-Pinks said before being interrupted by Thundershock and Dark Fire. “Hey girls. I heard you need assistance in the battle with Danger and his cohorts.” Thundershock said. “Well I...” “Don’t worry, it will be easy to get you a vehicle that can outrun a Legion of Speedfreak nobody in the time it takes for you to say ‘Never trust a Speedfreak’. If only Midnight Skies could say the same thing.” Thundershock said before looking sad. “She’s not dead, you dullard.” Dark Fire faced Thundershock in a Spitfire-esque death glare. “I know but...” “Enough complaining.” Diamond Dust announced. “You two completely forgot that three of us need cars. “Oh yeah. Forgot about... that.” Thundershock’s mood turned from sad to sudden realisation. “Anyway, let’s build our machine of extreme speed... and ultimate chaos and destruction. Back in Danger City, Rainbow was being chased by a F850 Ventaor on 224th Street,19th Avenue, close to the city centre. Rainbow told the squad beforehand to split up in different directions with half going southbound towards the Amethyst Business Distrct. Two seconds later, the F850 Venator that was chasing her deciding the ram the RBD1 Pulsar’s rear. This rear shunt caused Dash to jump and be a bit furious, to put it mildly. Considering she spent 5 hours to triple-layer paint the car made more angry. “WHAT AM I WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE! I THINK NEITHER!” Rainbow spat out and decided to steer to the left to avoid a second shunt. The F850 Venator followed her to try again to ram her again, but it was cut short as the Venator plowed into an oncoming white Porsche Cayman and was launch about 30 meters off the ground. It then landed on top of Cupra Formentor and rolled four times taking out Ford Mustang and Audi SQ5 in the pile-up. Rainbow saw the mess the Venator left behind. But as she was going at 125mph, she didn’t see the cloud of black smoke as the Venator exploded after the crash. “HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT!” She shouted as the number of F850 Venators reduced to 11. Aria saw the number tick down and was ready to give another Venator a destructive ending. Before she could do that, a drone was flying above and it’s armament was pointing at the F850 Venator. “Err... Danger, there’s a drone above my car and I don’t who it belongs to.” Aria said, looking concerned. “That’s probably an F52 drone fighter Akula was talking to me eariler.” Danger said over the radio. “Hold the bill there for a moment, sir. But did Akula send a drone fighter without telling me? WHY!” Aria exclaimed. Before Danger could explain, the Venator that she was going to destroy, blew up instantly. Aria quickly swerved to the left to avoid the burning Venator. With two Venators down, Anastasia Galaxia decided to chase after one of the cars, specificly, Spitfire’s Flamechaser. Having turned off 26th Avenue heading south, Spitfire noticed Anastasia’s Nightreaper. And within seconds, the two cars blasted through traffic at 150mph with Spitfire and Anastasia weaving in and out of traffic. Spitfire then decided to turn left towards 22nd Avenue and that move caused Anastasia to follow her ever closer. Her Nightreaper even had the right side’s wheels go off the road. But Anastasia didn’t see the oncoming Mercedes V-Class and her Nightreaper plowed right into the V-Class and rolled on her roof and scraped for about 2 seconds. Anastasia was beyond pissed. “Why did you do this to me, Spitfire?! You’re no better than Danger, you know. The Alliance will get you for this! THEY WILL!” Her eyes turned red with rage which she gets from Oscura. 2 seconds later, Oscura was on Anastasia’s radio. “Status update, Anastasia?” “SPITFIRE JUST CAUSED ME TO FOLLOW HER RIGHT TO MY CAR’S DEMISE!” Anastasia boomed. This led to shock from Oscura. “WHAT! WHERE ARE YOU!” “ON MY ROOF ON 22nd AVENUE, WHERE ELSE?” Anastasia snapped. “Ugh, just wait for someone to pick you up to HQ, I’ll deal with Spitfire... after I dealt with Danger, personally.” Oscura instructioned her. Meanwhile, Akula’s armoured car, the1Q30 DHAAV, is on hot pursuit of four Venator on 23rd Avenue, with Danger being chased by Estrella, it was up to Akula to eliminate the G63s before they destroy his assault car. His 1Q30 Demon Lord Heavy Armoured Assualt Vehicle was basically a modified G63 AMG with 1.4 inch armoured plating shielding the engine, transmission etc. Also shielding Akula is 90mm thick bulletproof plexiglass The trailer compound is basically a windowless armoured bed cover with two spare wheels at the back. Including a modified Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station or CROWS for short with a 2A38 autocannon attached it, similar to one being used in a 2K22 Tunguska. The 2A38 was also equipped with a stealth belt. His F-52 drone, which he nicknamed Chrysalis' Wrath was searching across Danger City, trying to pick up any vehicles that may belong to the Alliance of Extreme Darkness. The drivers of the four Venatos, being Oscura’s newcomers, didn’t realise that Akula is right on the tail of them all and within two seconds, Akula rammed them all of them off the street. Two of the Venator hit parked cars while the other two crashed into oncoming traffic all but one exploded and Akula had a quick celebration. Danger didn’t see that the counter had go down from 10 to 6. But with Estrella closing in on him and a F850 Venator, he needed to outrun them both quickly and sharpish. He then turned right onto 234th Street heading north, with the EST1 Dragonheart and the Venator close by. But then, two OAV6 Impalers, two more Venators and Tenebrisa’s THC Vallhalla X were the same road as Danger. Estrella tried to avoid an upcoming collision, but it was too late. All seven cars collided into each other with Tenebrisa and Estrella taking the least of the impact. But the three Venators and two Impalers exploded after the crash. Estrella and Tenebrisa meanwhile, couldn’t move because both of their driveshafts broke, so both cars were immobilized. Danger looked behind and saw the mess that had been made. Well, that’s them gone. He thought and before Akula was on his CB. “Speedfreak, this is AK. Have you seen Oscura yet?” Akula said. “Err... negative, AK. I don’t have any visual.” Danger replied. “Don’t worry, Danger. You’ll find her eventually.” But as Akula finished speaking, a indigo-blue and light blue hypercar burst passed Danger. The car appeared to be a IND1 Strikestorm with resemblance to a Lamborghini Egoista and a Sesto Elemento. Danger knew it belongs to the Legion of Speedfreaks and that before the second skirmish stated, he contacted five of the Shadowbolts and they agreed to help out in Danger’s struggle against Oscura. Two minutes later, both numbers on Danger’s Skirmish Screen displayed 0 which confused Danger immensely. Rainbow was on Danger’s radio which might ease Danger’s confusion. “Danger, I’ve got some good news.” Rainbow said. That shocked Danger a lot. “What’s that, Dashie.” “I heard from Crimsonia that Oscura’s armada is in retreat. It’s seems that they don’t to mess with your friend Akula it seems. Also Oscura’s car is located on 27th Avenue, 264th Street, don’t know why though. Oh and the Shadowbolt Squadron has now plotted their course for HQ.” Rainbow replied. “I shall talk some sense into Oscura. After I had some lunch.” Danger announced, turning onto 27th Avenue. “You do that.” Rainbow agreed. Meanwhile 264th Street, 27th Avenue Danger City 11:59 “Ugh, why do my friends do stupid things.” Oscura complained as her head rested on the steering wheel of her OSC2 Valkyria, which had a driveshaft breakage due to a crash with Twilight Sparkle and Azura Dragonsfire. Oscura began to sob and she heard the engine of a car she knew very well. Danger’s Excelsior X. Oscura quickly got out of her car and rushed towards Danger who got out at the same time. “WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?” Oscura boomed as she grabbed Danger’s t-shirt collar. “Oscura, I told my friends a hundred times, what you plan will not work. Oscura threw Danger to the tarmac. “THE WAY YOU DESTROY MY MASTERPIECES MAKE ME WANT TO STICK YOUR STUPID FUCKING HEAD INTO A NUCLEAR BOMB! THAT IS WHY i HATE YOU SO MUCH, DANGERDEAN!” Danger tried to get up but got knocked out by a punch from Oscura. “YOU ARE STUPID, DANGER. SO STUPID IN FACT THAT I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING I REALLY SHOULD HAVE DONE, TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO!” Oscura boomed as she went to get a pair of handcuffs from her Valkyria. But Danger, who was still out cold, still heard Oscura’s hateful monologue. Rainbow saw Danger’s car and himself lying on the ground. She quickly got out of her RBD1 Pulsar and tried to drag Danger back to her car. She was shocked to see her best friend out cold. She put Danger back into her car and got out a towing rope to drag Danger’s Excelsior back to the HQ Meanwhile, Oscura was still searching for the handcuffs which were found 20 seconds after Rainbow retrieved Danger. She turned towards where Danger should have been, but threw her handcuffs to the floor in rage and sat down on the ground and sobbed intensely. Legion of Speedfreaks HQ Danger City, 18:59 Danger regained conciousness after a long rest in his quarters from the skirmish and woke to the sight of Rainbow Dash. “How long have I been out?” Danger said feeling his head still beating after the punch. “About six hours. We were really worried about you, including Akula, who stayed here until you woke up. Also, someone would like to meet you tomorrow about our victory in that skirmish.” “Who?” “Celestia?” Danger knew that Equestria was relying on Danger, ever since the Battle of Paradise City. “OK, thanks for letting me know.” Danger said. Rainbow and Danger both hugged for about ten seconds. “It’s good to be alive and seeing you, Rainbow” Danger said. “The feeling’s mutual. Danger. Why don’t you relax for a bit and not think about Oscura until she strikes back. Rainbow proceeded to walk out of the room before Danger interrupted her. “I just realised, it’s our Forza tournament this weekend.” “Well we aren’t starting without you, Danger.” Rainbow said as Danger walked towards the door. “Not going out in the semi-finals, two years in a row, remember.” Danger announced as he was joined by Crimsonia, Black Flame and Blazey. “You OK Danger?” Blazey asked him. “Sure, thanks Blazey.” Danger hugged Blazey for as long as Rainbow did, while Rainbow, Crimsonia and Black Flame walked along the corridor. After Danger and Blazey parted, they joined the other girls and walked towards the penthouse.
Chapter 2 - Preparing the Next Move (Part 1 - Midnight's Dilemma)View OnlineThe Battle of Danger City Part One - A New DawnChapter 2 - Preparing the Next Move (Part 1 - Midnight's Dilemma)The next day, after the Alliance of Extreme Darkness set off for Oscura City, Sparky Lionfire was having a dilemma on what sort of engine she would put into her new supercar creation, the Lionstorm. The Lionstorm was based on a meld between a Ford GT and a Pagani Huayra BC. the She decided to look at the existing engine templates and used the same engine Danger used for his tenth hypercar project, the DGR10 Hydra, which was a custom-built 10-litre twin turbo V12, producing 1,970 brake horsepower. Since Danger gave unrestricted access to the underground car manufacturing complex, next door to the Legion’s headquarters, only Danger and Rainbow have created their own cars and the weirdest thing is that Danger is way ahead of Rainbow in vehicle production since Rainbow’s only focus is supercars, hypercars and muscle cars for Applejack and herself to drive. She has made in total 803,786 cars, excluding the Jansen P12 she used in the Battle of Paradise City. Danger meanwhile, focuses similar to Rainbow preferences but he also produces sport utility vehicles, multi-passenger vehicles and luxury cars as well. The MPVs and the luxury cars are only for Rarity, Diamond Blazer. In total, Danger has made 2,709,687 cars which are all in the underground car park, excluding his Rossolini Tempesta. While Sparky’s engine was undergoing the build procedure which takes around four hours to build, but since she used an existing template, the time was reduced by half an hour. Sparky headed the elevator for the top-floor balcony and she looked on her watch which read 11:29. Sparky knew that her engine would be finished by about 16:00 as she set a reminder on her phone. Meanwhile, at the top floor, Blazey was having a conversation with Crimsonia Dragonsfire and Midnight Skies on a couch. Blazey was wearing a leather jacket and a purple shirt consisting of 5 fireballs forming a 5-pointed star, tight-denim jeans and red trainers. Crimsonia’s outfit was similar to what Sunset wore during the Battle of the Bands, which Danger never mentioned to Aria for six years. The colour of her outfit was crimson-red with red and pink chevrons and on her boots had red dragon symbolisms. Midnight was wearing a grey and blue t-shirt with a white of whirlpool and tight-denim jeans and dark blue trainers. Sparky was wearing a similar outfit to Crimsonia but her skirt had a white eagle symbolism on it “Did you know that Sparky has no, like 3D vision?” Blazey asked the other two girls, which led to a shrug from Midnight. “Only found that out this morning.” Blazey stated, answering her own question. “What are you on about, Blazey?” Midnight deadpanned. “When I woke up this morning, I noticed Sparky was already up and there was a note next to my alarm clock which said she is going to create her own supercar which may take a lot of time to create.” “She’s a bit like Danger sometimes. I’ve seen a lot of the cars he created and they look awesome.” Crimsonia stated as she straightened her sleeveless jacket. But after she did this, she looked around the room “Speaking of which, where is he?” “Danger’s with Rainbow and Aria, probably working his sixteenth hypercar project.” Midnight replied in a bored tone of voice. Blazey became concerned over Midnight. Ever since she withdrawn from the Alliance of Extreme Darkness, she was acting like Aria before she became friends with Danger and was with Adagio Dazzle and Sonata Dusk. “Are you OK, Midnight?” Blazey asked her. “Hmm, I don’t know, Blazey.” Midnight sighed. “I’m just having a moral dilemma over a few things.” “Is being with Oscura messing your brain a bit?” Crimsonia said, putting her hand on Midnight’s right shoulder. “Something like that. Ever since I joined the Legion of Speedfreak, Oscura’s voice echoes in my head.” Midnight said. Blazey looked at her watch and raised her eyebrows. “I better see what Danger’s up to.” Blazey announced. But has she got up, Sparky entered the room from the elevator. “Hi, Sparky, can you be a big help for your sister and cheer up Midnight?” Blazey then asked. “Might as well, I got a few hours to kill.” Sparky replied, patting Blazey’s back as she entered the elevator. Meanwhile, in the underground manufacturing facilty. DangerDean, Rainbow Dash and Aria Blaze were spending a lot of time with car-related jobs. Danger was focusing on the underside of his new prototype hypercar, the DGR16 Ghostwrath. Even though the Ghostwrath was similar to the Excelsior X. But on the front were two W-shaped grills. On the rear was a rear wing similar to the one the Zenvo TSR-S uses that tilts left or right depending on the cornering. Powered by the same engine used in the Excelsior X but Danger added two 250 brake horsepower electric motors onto the sides of the 9 litre quad-turbo W16, creating a 2,850 horsepower lightspeed button. Danger will still use the Excelsior X because the Ghostwrath isn’t finished yet. Rainbow was tuning her upgraded duplicate of the RD1 Pulsar GTX2400R, the RD1 Pulsar GTX2800R. The car was an exact copy of the GTX2400R but the engine and the electric were modified to produce 2,809 horsepower, 41 less than Danger’s Ghostwrath. Rainbow thinks that the GTX2800R is 20% faster than the GTX2400R. Aria meanwhile, was finishing off her new hypercar, the AB1 Furyblaze. The AB1 Furyblaze’s style was a blend of the Porsche 992 Carerra S at the bottom half and the top half of a Boeing 747. Powering the Furyblaze is a 8.75 litre turbocharged V8 punching out 1,488 horsepower. Four months ago, Aria tested the Furyblaze at the DangerStar Proving Ground and achieved a top speed of 265 miles per hour. “Danger, I’ve finished my creation.” Aria announced to Danger. “What your AB1 Furyblaze?” Danger said as he got up from the underside of his Ghostwrath and was wiping his face. “Yeah, I’ve finished the body, engine, transmittion, driveshaft, suspension and everything else, it just the paint job I need to do.” Aria replied “And... I may need to change my shirt.” “Why?” Danger asked. “Because I had two gas leaks in the span of about twenty minutes, two hours ago. I replaced the tank about a hour later and I haven’t had any new leaks since.” Aria replied again. “Do what you have to Aria. I’ll take a quick shower before I insert the gas tank inside the Ghostwrath.” Danger was wearing a red t-shirt with three white chevrons in the bottom half facing downwards with his cutie mark (or emblem since it’s the human world) in the centre. He was also wearing black and red diagonally striped shorts and red socks with white and black stripes. He we also wearing white trainers with a black chevron in the pattern. He was also sporting a wristwatch on his right arm and a red wristband with a white lightning bolt on his left arm. “Oh Danger,” Rainbow then announced as she closed the bonnet of her GTX2800R. “Your phone buzzed 20 minutes ago.” Danger then rushed to his phone and found a picture of Formula-spec car someone sent to him. “I don’t remember seeing that car. I’ll do a run-down on what’s been sent to me later.” Danger said, putting his phone in his pocket. Back on the top floor, Midnight was still having a crisis over her own existence. “I am OK, but I just need some time to get thorough these images in my brain I keep mesmerising over.” Midnight then said with a tear falling down on her lap. “Go for it, Midnight, no one’s stopping you.” Sparky said with positivity. “Thanks Sparky, you are the best.” Midnight said while giving Sparky a hug. After Midnight got up from the couch and headed for the elevator for her room, Crimsonia was not convinced at all. “I think the effects of being with Oscura since the Battle of Paradise last night is starting to come to her,” she said, moving closer to Sparky. “Ever since Danger reformed her, she’s been acting... well... strange this morning,” “I wouldn’t be surprised since she recently joined.” Sparky said, putting her arm over the couch. “What you don’t know about I heal really quickly, ever since that crash I had with Oscura, the trauma is still pretty fresh.” “I thought you were dead, Sparky!” Crimsonia said having a flashback of Blazey being badly injured after the crash. “That was a worse case scenario, but according to Danger, I’m a fighter. I can survive literally anything,” Crimsonia was convinced enough that she can trust Sparky as both of them are Speedfreak Legionnares. After about a minute, Crimsonia got up from the couch and headed for a drive around the streets of Danger City. Meanwhile, in Danger’s room, Danger did a run-down on the car that was sent to him on his phone, before he took a shower. The car appeared to be a DSR 4500X 'Intimidator' Super GP and Danger whistled at how gorgeous the car looked, He also thought it look something he would create. The car was located at the Akula Autodrom 28 miles west of the HQ, just off I144A. After Danger finished putting his clothes back on, Lightning Dust and Spitfire entered. “Hey Danger, I think I may have found something I didn’t wanna see.” Lightning said. Danger felt confused as to what to it could be, either new possible members for the Legion of Speedfreaks or worse, an attack from Oscura. “What’s is it, Lightning?” Danger questioned. “Come and see for yourself.” Lightning replied. As Danger, Lightning and Spitfire rushed towards Command Station 3B, Rainbow and Aria noticed that they on red alert and joined them. When they entered the hologramatic model of a convoy consisting of eight carbon-black Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 with a machine gun mounted on the bed and leading the convoy, was a car which is blend of the Bulgarian hypercar, the Alieno Arcanium and the Dodge SRT Tomahawk in black and red. The car was an OSC1 Nemesis and it was powered by 15-litre twin-supercharged V12 delivering 5742 hp and nearly 10,000 torque. The car is also faster than Danger’s Excelsior X, 318 miles per hour to be precise. Danger knew that Oscura was probably tracking down Midnight. Finding him would be a bonus. “Oh, sweet Celestia on a unicycle!” Danger muttered under his breath. “What is it, Danger?” Rainbow asked Danger what it is. “It’s Oscura!” Danger announced. Author's Note I left chapter on cliffhanger again!
