In the Speedvault, Luke sits on the bed while Accelerate, Hyperdrift, Alina sit and wait for the race.
Luke Harris- (Thinking) "I have an Idea. (Everyone looks at him) What if I did that running through people move Tuhan does?"
Hyperdrift- "First off that's called a phase, it allows you to walk or run through any object."
Luke Harris- "How do I do that?"
Comet- (In the doorway drinking a bottle of alcohol) "You can't, (Everyone looks at her) Only a godlike speedster can do it and so far you're not very godlike."
Luke Harris- "I beat you on my first try didn't I?"
Comet- (Drinking again) "You won by luck if you hadn't thrown your energy at me I would've beat you."
Luke Harris- "Well I need to beat Tuhan somehow."
Comet- "You better figure it out then."
Luke Harris- (Looks at Alina while thinking) "What about the Junkies?"
Accelerate- "You can't be serious Luke, you know that may kill most of them."
Luke Harris- (Standing up fast) "We have no other choice if he wins he will kill everyone in the speed kingdom. (Looks at Alina) Get me the Junkies."
Alina runs out of the building while Accelerate looks at Luke in disappointment. Hyperdrift looks over a book that sat on a table, the pictures were of a man with a group of people around him. The group of people placed their hands on the man as lightning fell from above and hit the man. The next page had the man stand up as a demon fell from the sky and take the man. Hyperdrift looks at the book with worry, she looks at Luke then back at the book only to see a pair of glowing red eyes look at her. She jumps back knocking over a chair. Alina returns with the Junkies.
Alina- "Luke you're going to want to lie down for this."
Luke Harris- (Looks at Comet sitting while drinking a bottle of alcohol) "One moment."
Luke gets up and walks over to Comet and places his hand on her leg.
Comet- (Jerking her leg away) "What are you doing?"
Luke Harris- "I'm able to pass my energy to people."
Comet- "Why are you trying to do it to me?"
Luke Harris- "Because I may need you if this race doesn't end well."
Comet relaxes her leg while Luke places his hand on it. A green bolt of energy shoots down from his arm and into her leg. Luke let's go and stands up.
Luke Harris- (Looking at Comet) "Try running."
Comet looks around the room then disappears from her seat in a split second. She runs in from the hallway with a white burst of energy following her.
Comet- "Thanks."
Luke Harris- "Not a problem."
Accelerate- "Luke! (Luke looks) We don't have time for this."
Luke walks over to the bed and lies down on it while the Junkies place their hands on him.
Hyperdrift- "Easy, good. Now everyone begins vibrating, Luke you too."
Luke and the Junkies begin vibrating at the same time and electrical currents of blues, greens, reds, purples, and yellows leave the bodies of the Junkies and enter Luke. Luke screams in pain as his eyes dilate.
Accelerate- "What's happening? Why is he screaming like that?"
Hyperdrift- (Looking at the monitor) "I don't know, his vitals spiked."
Comet- "He's taking in too much energy at one time."
Alina- (Walks over to the monitor by Hyperdrift) "He was just at Mach 41.5 and now he's coming to Mach 76."
A large explosion goes off of Luke's body, the Junkies, Accelerate, Hyperdrift, Alina, and Comet fly in separate directions. Outside on the other side of the kingdom, Tuhan looks up seeing a bright flash go off, he begins running toward it.
In the speedvault, King Golthan and Francois enter the room as Accelerate, Alina, Hyperdrift, Comet, and some of the Junkies begin standing up while coughing while the dust clears.
King Golthan- (Walks around the room) "In the name of Light, what happened here?"
Comet- "Luke was trying to get faster by absorbing the energy from the Junkies, instead, an explosion went off."
Francois- (Looking at the table not seeing Luke anywhere) "Well where is he then?"
Everyone begins looking around the room not seeing Luke.
Hyperdrift- (Wiping the dust from the monitor screen) "I put a tracker inside of the suit so we can find him faster. Um..."
Alina- "What's wrong?"
Hyperdrift- (Turning to look at the crowd of people) "It says he's still in the room."
Accelerate- "Well how's that possible if we can't see him?"
Francois- "The book."
King Golthan- "What book?"
Francois- "The book states that only the blood of the Speedgod Light could turn light speed."
Alina- "What the hell does that mean?"
Comet- "It means that he's able to turn invisible."
Francois- "Yes yes, now let's try and wake him up."
Francois begins to take a step only to stop as Tuhan runs through him. Francois falls over while Tuhan stands and looks around the room for Luke, He walks over to the monitor as Hyperdrift and Alina freeze in fear. Tuhan sees the vitals move rapidly then flatline.
Tuhan- (Looking at the crowd of people) "Congratulations Luke, you killed yourself. (Grabs the bottom of his mask) The only problem was (Takes the mask off to revel Francois) I was supposed to kill you."
The crowd of people gasps while seeing Francois walk around the room towards the table.
Accelerate- "Luke was right. You are Tuhan."
Tuhan- (Looking at the table) "No, I'm the king of speed. Isn't that right cousin?"
King Golthan- "Cousin?"
Francois- "That's right, Luke here is my long lost cousin."
Alina- "How's that possible?"
Francois- "Easy, You see Luke here is well was the great-grandson to Light whereas I'm the son to Sound."
Accelerate- "You're Death? But how are you still alive? That story was from millions of years ago."
{Beginning of the Speed kingdom}
Francois voice- "After I fed on Instance I wanted more speed in my system so I targeted my own family. First, there was my mother, Velocity. She gave me just enough to run without being detected by Light. Then came my father, next came Life. After I thought I had killed them all I ran to the future and found out there were hundreds of speedsters I could take the energy but then one caught my attention. A small burst of energy from a planet called Earth with a man that beat the sound barrier without trying. Then I heard about the race for the throne and thought if I won I could be a better King than my entire family. I wanted him to get faster so I could have the energy and rule the Speed Kingdom."
{The Speedvault}
Francois- "And now that he's gone I guess I don't need you anymore."
Francois looks at Accelerate and runs at him and kills him, Francois looks at King Golthan and runs at him killing him.
Francois- (Still holding King Golthan) "That's my throne now."
Francois runs out of the speedvault and stands in front of the throne looking out at the crowd of fans that wait for the final race to begin.
Francois- "Your special King Golthan is dead, you'll all kneel to me or die."
The crowd looks around and slowly kneels while Francis sits down on the throne.
