A/N: This be a fanfic incorporating characters from such animes as Attack on Titan, RWBY, Hetalia, and a few others I may sprinkle in from time to time. As the title implies, this also be based on the Need for Speed video game series/movie by Electronic Arts/DreamWorks, SKG. This also be centered A LOT on one Eren Jaeger from AoT. Don't likey? Don't ready.

Eren Jaeger wasn't always a suicidal meathead. A meathead, sure. Who isn't? But his variety was of a kind most boys tend to have.
Yep, he had a need for speed.
Fortunately, Detroit provided everything he needed to satisfy that need, from the long straightaway streets like Woodward Avenue, Gratiot Avenue, and 8 Mile all the way to the turquoise-with-black-striped 1970 Dodge Challenger--his dad's own car--bestowed to him on his 15th birthday. Unfortunately, not every good thing lasts.
He returned home with his brainiac mechanic friend Armin Arlert one night to find his house ablaze and his foster sister, Mikasa Ackerman, standing in front of the ruins, looking rather numb. It's only later that Eren finds out what precisely the hell happened: a mysterious Russian mobster, known only as the Pickaxe Killer, and his gang had murdered everyone in the house--and, worse, abused Mikasa. Thus incised, he kills the one person the state needed to have testify against his boss: a Lithuanian named Milos Laurinaitis, who was the one who'd machine-gunned Eren's parents. Now a wanted criminal, Eren has no choice but to flee certain arrest in Michigan with the people he's closest to, in the very same Challenger he won street races in. It's in Texas that he hears about the Most Wanted Tournament for the first time.
Every year, hundreds of street racers from around the world meet up in Vancouver for a pan-American race to decide which of them will be called that year's "Most Wanted Driver." Fail, and the end results can get messy. Very messy.
But this year there's a particularly interesting twist. The Pickaxe Killer himself is fielding a four-car team in the attempt to maintain his iron grip on the crown. And in the past he's proven he can go to extreme lows in order to see his domination continue.
What he doesn't know is that he's picked the wrong year to be especially nefarious. And he doesn't know that a certain Eren Jaeger's about to go wrecking ball on him...
