The mountain pass at night is never quiet, engines roaring and tires screeching as young, rebellious adults race up and down the dangerous road at high speeds. Risking it all for the satisfaction of hearing burning rubber, redline shifting and speed. One such racer is Alicia Kheng, the fastest in Cyberaya North accompanied by her crew "Top Speed Freaks" they held their ground at the mountain pass there. If one is to challenge her, they are required to defeat her crew members. Jet who may brag a lot but he is a good driver, his Pagani Zonda F is no machine to look down on. Roza the No.2 of the crew and one not to underestimate, her chewing gum makes her focus intensely and many racers have fell for her technique; False Panic. Braking hard randomly when opponents are close behind to exert pressure, leading to lost of control.

When a racer is able to defeat both her right hand men, Alicia herself will face the opponent head on without any signs of hesitation or doubt. Her Lamborghini Gallardo has crushed many goals and dreams. It has gone through thick and thin. However tonight a new opponent has come to challenge her and she would be taken for a ride of her life. A new comer who calls himself Sam, drives an orange Ford GT with white stripes and matte black rims. He boasted beating Alicia would be a walk in a park. The crew didn't take it lightly and he was challenged. After two victories he was confronted by Alicia.

"I own this part of Cyberaya and I don't plan to lose to a showoff punk like you." She says sternly, as her gaze piercing the male. He didn't flinch at all and continued to comb his locks. Then they both got into their respective cars and allign on the road. A crowd gathered on the road sides as Jet stands in the middle of the cars positioned on the center line. He began explaining. "A downhill race, one round only whoever reaches the bottom is the winner." Alicia concetrated on the road with her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

"3!"

Sam revs the engine of his car, exciting the crowd.

"2!"

Alicia shifts into first gear, so did Sam.

"1!"

Handbrake pulled down.

"GO!"

The two cars set off with Alicia taking the lead as her AWD Gallardo has better launch than any RWD car. However she is being followed closely by Sam's Ford GT who's smirking as he changes gears. "Compared to a Ford GT, a Gallardo is nothing but a mere toy and I'll show you soon enough." Says the blonde haired boy while seen still smirking, closely following Alicia's Lambo from behind. Alicia checked her rearview mirror with a scowl. "Hah, you LaPerfect or whatever you morons call yourselves.... I'll defend Cyberaya and it's racers and you shall be buried at the bottom of this mountain!" she exclaimed as she floors the pedal as a burst of flames comes out of her ride's tailpipes, accelerating rapidly ahead. Sam tailed behind. Upcoming is sharp left and with that Alicia hard-braked, clutch and downshifts as did Sam and she turns her car staying close to the walls, easing a bit on the accelerator as she attacks the corner. Sam too does the same but he chose the outside lane, right behind the female racer. Upon exiting Alicia opens it up for full throttle for the straight, leaving a bit of gap between her and Sam. Then another corner comes this time to the right but this time Alicia went full throttle and used grip style through the corner, her heart pumping fast as the adrenaline kicks in. She exits the corner successfully without slowing down while Sam did to take the corner.

"I will not lose this race, not to those who trespass into my home turf with dirty shoes!" Alicia showed her true power as a green aura can be seen emmited from her car, sending chills down the spectators and Sam as the two raced down the mountain pass. Sam then thought his opponent had enough ease so he decides to crank up the heat. "It's time." he muttered under his breath as he floored the gas. Alicia noticed her challenger stepping up their game, going all out as the Ford GT accelerates quickly, attempting to overtake her. She grits her teeth as the orange supercar succeeds, now speeding in front of her. To her surprise the opponent's car started drifting while attacking the corner. "Heh, a drifter eh? It's no more than a performance to excite the crowd. I'll show you what real skills are!" The upcoming corner arrives and Alicia initiated an AWD drift as she barely countersteers to eliminate the oversteer unlike Sam where he countersteers a lot while drifting. This gained surprised gasped from the spectators along the roadside. "Whoa! This is the first time I've seen Alicia drifting!" one said. "She's drifting a Lambo too, no one can do that properly!" another exclaimed, giddy as their hearts beating intensely.

"What the-." is all Sam could say as Alicia overtakes him mid-drifting, no countersteering. At the exit she opens full throttle as her Gallardo's exhaust burst out flames with a loud 'BANG'. Slowly Sam is fading as she drifts all the corners, hairpin or not only the illusioanry trail of her tail lights were seen by Sam and the spectators. She smirked, reaching the bottom in record time. Sam finally arrives, shame was written all over his face. He left without a word. "Good run, Alicia but our territories isn't the only one being targetted, Rudy, Iman and Ali's turfs are also under threat from LaPerfect." Roza said as she gave Alicia a can of soda.

"Welp, we gotta' warn them so they can prepare."
