Cruiser Chronicles
An Acceleracers Tampered 'Verse Fic by Wolf Kazumaru
Everything is subject to change without notice- I'm evil like that.
Chapter Two: Welcome to the Badlands.
The Cruisers finally arrived in Drumheller, thirsty, hungry... And bored. See, the Badlands is nice the first time you go there. But it starts to lose it's appeal after that. For anyone that hasn't been there, it's basically dry land with hoodoos, a canyon, a city, some campsites, and a bridge or six.
Wolf got out of the van, and stumbled on his unsteady legs... After all, he just spent 5 hours sitting down. After regaining his balance, he looked around. A statue of a dinosaur (Writer's note: I'm PRETTY sure that it was a Brontosaurus...) a grocery store, some houses... A house on fire... Nothing of much interest. Pheonix was sitting on the hood of the Hippie van, and Raioh had fallen asleep earlier in the van. Senretsu walked up to Wolf.
"Hey, bro... Whassup?" Sen said.
"Dude, why did you bring us here? It's the [Bleep] end of nowhere." Wolf replied, shaking his head.
"I don't know... I just had a- Whoa, what the H E Double Hockey Sticks is that!?" Senretsu yelled, pointing ahead on the street, where there was a huge dustcloud coming towards them... At speeds that must be near 400 KM/H!
As the dust cloud came closer, they saw it was a van. The van said "Ordinary Van" on the side... Very unsuspicious. The Van stopped by the Cruisers, and four men jumped out. One grabbed Wolf, another Senretsu, and a third went around the front and ripped Trevor off the hood of the car. The fourth ripped open the back doors of the van, and Raioh awoke with a jolt.
"Hey! What the!?" he yelled, jumping up.
The dark-clad man jumped at Raioh, and Raioh kicked him in the face. "GET AWAY FROM ME, FREAKISH MAN!" he yelled. The rest of the Cruisers laughed a bit.
Two more men jumped out of the "Ordinary" van, and they pulled Raioh into the Van, along with the rest of the Cruisers.
"Hey! Hey you guys in the front! Yeah, you guys! How's about this? I GIVE YOU THE FINGER, AND YOU GIVE ME MY PHONE CALL!" Wolf yelled. One of the men tazered him. Wolf raised an eyebrow at him. "We're in a car. Rubber tires prevent me from being a path to ground, Sucka."
The guy with the tazer then proceeded to Pistol-whip Wolf. Wolf fell unconcious on the seat of the "ordinary" van.
Wolf woke up about five hours later, in a place he knew wasn't home. He was lying in the type of bed that you'd see in a prison, and there were grey walls all around him. Raioh looked in as he
walked by, then took a step back and walked in. "Hey hey dude, you're finally awake."
"Wh- What happened?" Wolf asked, shaking his head, trying to clear his vision of spots.
"Wellll..."
*FLASHBACK*
Sen, Pheonix, and Raioh are sitting around a table, along with some old guy with grey hair.
"Well, hello, Cruisers. We meet at last. My name is Dr. Tezla-"
"You mean, like, Dr. Nikola Tesla? are you him? Preserved Cryogenically!?" Senretsu asked, grinning.
"... No. No I'm not."
"Oh."
"As I was saying, my name is Dr. Tezla. I have gathered-"
"You mean KIDNAPPED!?" cut in Pheonix.
"... Anyway. I have gathered you here today... To race for me."
"Hey, genius. The only vehicle any of us owns is Wolf's hippie van. And that thing will fall apart if a rock hits it." Sen cut in.
"I've already thought of that... So I've built all of you vehicles."
"Does mine have a flame paintjob!?" Raioh cut in.
"... No."
"Not cool..." Raioh sighed.
"Anyway... When Wolf wakes up, I'll show you the vehicles."
*END FLASHBACK*
"Dude. That was a cool flashback!" Wolf said.
"Yeah, well. Now that you're awake, let's go see the Doctor."
"... 'kay then."
*Five Minutes Later, in Tezla's office.*
"... So let me get this straight. You're some kind of mad scientist, who's last name is Tezla, and you don't have a single Tesla Coil in here? What is WRONG with you!?" Wolf said. Quite clearly
outraged.
"... Alright then... Let's just go see the vehicles, shall we?"
So they walked to the Garage... Well, actually, onto the floor. Anyway... They walked up to the vehicles.
"Whoa... Unreal..." Wolf said, looking at the unpainted van in front of him. In fact, none of the cars were painted.
"What IS that...?" Raioh said, looking at an unpainted McLaren F1.
"I don't know... But I like it." Pheonix said, staring at the Austin Martin. Unpainted, of course.
"Wh- Where's my car?" said Senretsu
"You're too young to drive, Clark." Said Dr. Tezla.
"... Dude, that is so not cool!" sighed Sen.
"You said we're racing for you... Street or Circuit?" Asked Wolf, still looking at his new van.
"Neither." replied Dr. Tezla "You'll be racing... in the Realms."
"What's that? Some new racing tournament?" asked Pheonix, turning around.
Tezla grinned slightly "No... It's a whole 'nother universe..."
Wolf and Raioh turned around. "Excuse me, what?" Wolf said.
"You'll see... GIG! TURN ON THE HOLOGRAM!"
In the center of the building- a fairly large building, with a fairly odd looking track that no one had noticed before looping through it... Ending in a jump to nowhere- appeared a large, golden wheel-looking thing.
"That is the Wheel of Power... Well, it's a hologram of it..."
"Hologram-desu?" Wolf said, lapsing into Japenglish. (Japenglish is a mix of Japanese in English. For instance, in Japenglish, Hologram-desu would be 'It's a hologram?')
"Yes. It vibrates on the same frequency of the real wheel.... It acts just like it."
"... Doc, you gonna explain further than that? We don't know anything about this... 'wheel' of yours." Pheonix said.
"Ah, right. Of course... The Wheel allows us to enter the realms... but unfortunately, it has been stolen..."
"By who?" asked Senretsu, finally interested.
"The Drones."
"... The what?" asked Wolf.
"The Drones... the people who did THIS to me..." said Tezla, removing the trenchcoat that I hadn't bothered to mention until now, and revealing his crippled body, held together with some kind of... Bio-suit.
"... Hey, is it too late to back out?" Senretsu asked.
"Yes... You know too much now."
"Ahhh, [Bleep]."
End of chapter two. Sorry I still haven't got to the races!
