Need For Speed Super Carbon

Chapter 1 - Prologue

4:00 p.m. After I escaped from Rockport City. I am on as I was on the desert and heading into a path that leads to an unknown city. I pull up to a gas station as I saw it and parked my car near the fuel pump. I took out the pump and puts it on the fuel tank of the M3 to refill gas. I went into the gas station to grab something to eat. I walked to the cashier to ask if he has anything to eat. "Hello there, what can I get for you my friend?" The cashier asked. "May I have a hotdog with a drink on the side. It will be Coca Cola please." I answered. "Okay, anything else for you?" The cashier asked. "Nope, that will be it." I answered. "That will be $5.97 please." The cashier replied. I handed him the cash as he puts it in the register and he hands me a freshly made hotdog with a Coca Cola fountain drinks. "Thank you, have a good one." I said as I grabbed the drinks and walked outside of the store. "You too." The cashier replied. I walked to a table and sat there to eat and finish my food along with my drink. A few minutes later. I was finished with my lunch and I got back in the M3 as I started it up and drove off as I left the gas station. While I was driving on the desert highway, I saw a few cars at side of the road as there are crowds of people on the sand area. I drove slowly to pass through the crowds. "Hey, you! Driver of the M3!" A racer called as I pulled my car to the side of the road and got out as I walked up to him. "Hey, this area is for racers only. You want to cross to the canyons, you gotta race me." The racer said. "Well, sounds like a plan. Why don't we put some cash on this?" I suggested. "Ohh, you wanna bet on this, I see. Well bring it on." The racer replied as we got in our cars to begin the race. It was a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider. I look at the crowd as they were cheering for me and I gave em the thumbs up. The driver of the 360 Spider looked at me with a smile and I smiled at him back. We started off the race on a half mile drag. The 360 Spider had a better start than I did although I was still keeping up with him as I accelerated hard and passed him as we were coming down to half a mile of the finish line. Everyone cheered as I was in first. As we stopped our cars near the crowd, he got out and I got out as the racer handed me the cash and then we gave each other a handshake. I got back in my M3 GTR and took off as I was on my way to the canyon area. 3 hours later. 7:00 p.m. I was driving on the mountain area heading into a tunnel and it leads to a bend as I was driving into a mountain pass. Once I came out of the tunnel, I was going to follow the path that leads to the city area. I saw a sign that says "Palmont City 7 miles". "Palmont City? That's home..." I wondered in my mind as I saw the sign and drove but I was starting to get flashbacks. 4 years ago. Flashback. "Start her up." Nikki said as she walked up to the car and smiled at me. "Don't disappoint." Darius said as he tossed the keys to me and I caught it as it takes me to a blue Toyota Supra. I got in the car. I met up with Nikki about the race Darius set up so she gave me a heads up. Angie, Kenji, and Wolf were already at the starting line and I arrived in a Nick of Time in the Supra. Nikki moved her arms down. We started the race and I was behind but we were coming up to a few corners as I see some traffic on the left as I dodged it. I moved up to 2nd place and I shifted down to 2nd gear as I drifted the corners without crashing. But then the Charger crashed into the corner. During the straightaway I felt some pressure breathing down on my neck and I shifted up to 5th Gear. I looked at my speedometer as I was going very fast and I was at a good pace. "Okay, now I can win this thing." I said in my mind as we were heading towards the finish and I was in first place. When we crossed the finish line, I witnessed some shocks from behind which was revealed to be a stun rifle. It went for Wolf, Kenji and Angie as their cars stopped. I stopped the car and I turned around and saw some cops coming as I didn't get stunned which was a strange feeling. The Supra didn't die on me and I was the only one left. I felt scared and I witnessed the racers trying to escape but instead they got arrested as they were trying to resist from police. I pulled off some burnouts and I performed some donuts. I stopped the car. Nikki ran up to me but couldn't make it so she tossed the bag to me and I drove off to an alley but then a white Chrysler 300C reversed then blocked the exit after he lets me escape. When I looked inside the bag, it contained newspapers instead. "You've got to be kidding me. Maybe the bag got switched?" I wondered in my mind. "Look, between the heat and the crews you need to walk away. Take my car, go get out of here!" Darius said as he told me to go. 20 Minutes later. Home. "Mom, we need to get out of here." I said as I came in. "Why do we have to leave?" Adena asked. "One of the crews have hired some agents to track us down and I am not kidding at all." I answered. "Yeah, you have a point." Adena replied. "Come on, get in the car! We're taking it somewhere nice and discreet so it doesn't get stolen. But first we need to get to the destination and ditch it before we head out." I exclaimed as my mom and I got in the Escalade ESV and we drove off from Palmont to Rockport. Present day. "So I remember now, I was racing here after I was in Bayview when I moved there, I went to Rockport, and I came here to uncover the truth of the past. I must know more about it." I said in my mind as I remembered my memories of going back to Palmont. I took the next corner slowly as I was gripping it and I was heading into the bridge section. I was going down the hill and I was heading into a another tunnel that leads to a left hairpin. A mysterious car was coming down the hill and I was heading past the bush area as I was coming down to another left slope after I past the right bend. The mysterious car comes out of the bushes and catches up to me. It was a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coming up to me as it bumped my car as it caused it to lose control but I managed to regain it back on the corner. "Hey, guess who's back." The mysterious person said as he was behind my back and I accelerated hard to pull away from him. We were going down the hill as we were heading into a construction zone. "Crap, can't see!" I said in my mind as I am hitting through some poles. The mysterious driver stopped his car and then I was about to crash into a semi truck. I slammed on the brakes and turned around when it touched the truck. I tried to pull out but the mysterious driver got in front of me and stopped me as there were pipes crushing the car causing it become immobile. "Not good." I said my mind. I tried to get out of the car but then I noticed the mysterious person was across. He runs up to my car and closes the door as he was about to detain me. "Sit down!" Cross exclaimed as he closed the door. I put my hands up as I was about to surrender. "How you've been? It's time to settle a little score from Rockport, you think?" Cross asked. "Yeah, I guess so. But you still owe me for apprehending the blacklist racers and including Razor." I answered as we witnessed an Audi Le Mans Quattro driving up to us. "I don't remember asking for your help, Crog. What makes you think you can bounty hunt in Silverton without my approval?" Darius asked. "It's Cross, and this guy is from out of town." Nathan answered. "Been a long time, kid. What's his bounty?" Darius asked. "A hundred and fifty k." Nathan replied. I got out of car and I looked at my M3. "My car. It's the machine my mom and I used to work on when I got into street racing. *sighs*" I said in my mind as I gave a sigh and a tiny drop of tears started to drip a little before I started to cry because I broke a car that was part of the family and my heart. However I wiped it away. Darius, Nathan and I witnessed a Ford GT coming down the pass. "Huh, Nikki. This should be interesting." Darius said. Nikki got out of car and walked in rage to attack me. "How dare you show your face here!" Nikki exclaimed as she was about to attack me but then Darius stopped her. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Control yourself." Darius said as he grabbed Nikki and carried her. "Let go of me!" Nikki replied. Cross reverses to pull out as he turns and accidentally bumped into my car. "Hey, my car! Really?!" I exclaimed as my car got more damage as it was bumped. "Oh, whoa! Damn, my bad Romeo. Haha." Cross said as he chuckled and closed his window as he drove away. "I'm pretty sure you still remember me but I've noticed you've changed a bit." I said in my mind as I gave a weird look. "That was a weird night you took off, but I know you're into some serious cash. Nikki, why don't you show your old friend the rules." Darius suggested. "You've gotta be joking right?" Nikki asked. "You have a better idea? Then let's get him started." Darius answered as he gave a kiss on the forehead to Nikki. "Don't disappoint. Not again." Darius said as he went to back to his car and Nikki crosses her arms as she looks at me as I'm strangely confused. A few hours later. San Juan. Nikki drives me to a parking lot that where the new cars are."Hey uh... who's the third wheel?" Neville asked. "Darius set up a few cars for you to choose. Pick one, whichever one you like." Nikki answered. "Hey, if there's three do I get one? I mean I don't care which one, although I am partial to the one with the sweet rims." Neville asked again. "Why don't you make sure the gas tanks are filled." Nikki suggested. "That's great... I'm the monkey!" Neville answered. "Pick one, let's get this over with." Nikki replied as she got in her car. "Hm... I am gonna go with a Brera. It's an Italian sports car so I don't care." I said in my mind. We were in a sprint race as I was about to begin my test drive and I noticed a few racers that came to me. I noticed that was Ellie, and a girl in a Yellow Camaro. Nikki texted me as I looked at my phone and read the message. I started it up as we were about to race. I opened my window as I saw Ellie's RX-8 next to mine. "Branden! It's good to see you again! Nikki told me about your coordinates so we figured we'd see you here. Let's race once again, shall we?" Ellie asked as she opened her window. We were about to start the race as we revved our engines and launched off the start fast. Ellie had the better start than I did because her car was an FR and mine is an FF. We were coming into the first corner as we gripped it hard. I was catching up to Ellie as she was managing to pull away but I am keeping up with her. "This is San Juan, I see. I was expecting it to be like Mexico or something." I said in my mind as I was cruising around the area and trying to keep up with Ellie. We were about to hit the final corner. Ellie takes the corner but loses control as she slides and makes a mistake while I saw an opening on the inside and took it. I was now in the lead as she tries to keep up with me but I pulled away and crossed the finish line first as I won the race. Ellie pulled up to my car as she opened her window. "Good race, Branden. I'll see you back in town, later." Ellie said as she closes her window and drives off. Minutes later. Salazar Street. "Neville, come on! I got no time for this." Nikki said as she saw Neville making a spin and reverse when taking long to start. "Nikki's good. Just... listen to her. And I'll stick around and I'll help out and make sure she's not too hard on ya." Neville suggested. "Haha, I know she wouldn't do that. Let's do this." I said as we were about to drive off and begin with the crew member tutorials. We were all putting on our communication headsets to keep track of the lesson. "Ok, come on, let's get this over with." Nikki replied. We were starting off slow as Neville pulls ahead of us as he's in the lead. "So, crews are a big part of building a rep in the city. You can bring a wingman into a lot of the races and believe me, you're gonna want to. There's basically 3 different skills you're gonna' see. Some drivers are Blockers, others are Drafters and there's Scouts. Right now I'll be your wingman just to show ya. Neville's gonna help out, be your competition for a few laps." Nikki explained. "Sweet. This'll be interesting." I replied. "First, you need to know how to tell your wingman when it's time to work. They'll just race until you tell them to do more. Try it now." Nikki said. I gave a signal to activate the crew member to do the job. "That's it, you got it! Remember, it works the same for Blockers and Drafters, but Scouts are working for you pretty much all the time." Nikki said. "Okay, I see what you mean now. I can give the signal." I replied. "Ok! Blockers are like cruise missiles on the road. They don't mind to smash their rides to knock your competition off the track. Let me show you. Alright, let me know when you want me to block Neville." Nikki explained. "Block him now." I commanded. Nikki accelerates hard and nudges Neville as he starts to lose control. "Hey! Mind my paint!" Neville exclaimed. "That's it! See how that block worked?" Nikki asked. "Ah, now I see how the block works. So what are drafters?" I asked. "Drafters? They're speed demons. Two cars traveling in a line go faster than one. So you gotta get behind them and stay there for a few seconds. You'll get a boost of speed and when you pull out of the draft, you'll slingshot up ahead. Okay. Just say when and we'll draft." Nikki explained. "Let's go now." I replied. Nikki pulls ahead of me and slows down to wait for me to catch up and I pulled up behind her as I was about to head into a slipstream at full speed to test out the draft. "Okay, we're good now." I said. "That's it." Nikki replied as she stopped the draft. "The last of the three types are Scouts. And Scouts are like having eyes everywhere. As soon as the race starts, they will find every back alley, side street or any kind of route that saves you time. Let's give it a try. See if you can keep up." Nikki explained as she heads into a shortcut and I followed her. "You wanna keep in mind that your wingman will only work for a limited time. Once they're drained, they'll stop helping out, but they will stay with you and build back up until they're ready to do their thing again. And wingmen are like NOS. Use them too early in the race, they won't be ready when you need them most. Okay! Now you got the basics, now take it out on the streets!" Nikki explained. "There! That's all you need to get started. I'm done wasting my time on you. Later, Neville." Nikki said as she drove off. "Well, guess it's just you and me. Let's go find some trouble." Neville said as I nodded at him and we drove off from San Juan to to Highway 142. Minutes later. Highway 142. "So you've been gone a while... You're got in Rockport, huh? Man, a lot has changed since you took off. There are tons of crews in this town, everywhere man, crazy!" Neville said as we saw a police car on the left side of the highway and u turned in our lane and started chasing us. "Dispatch, mountain 21. I'm 10-20 with a code 6 driver. Uh. this guys not gonna stop, standby." The policeman said. "Look out, cops!" Neville exclaimed. "We've got a real situation over here. Request more units ASAP." The policewoman commanded. "Watch this!" Neville exclaimed as he slammed on the brakes and sideswiped the cop cars and disabled them. "Woah! This guy's nuts!" I exclaimed. "Who's the coffee grinder baby? Haha haha!" Neville said as he heads into the exit of the highway as I was staying on the main road. "I got your back. I'll lose the heat. Stay on the pedal." Neville said. "Now I've got the 5-0 on me and I've definitely gotta step on it." I said in my mind as I shifted from 3rd to 4th gear. "Attention Mountain District, we got a Code 6 suspect trying to get away from police, uhh now moving East, repeat Eastbound. On Highway 142. Primary Unit has radio priorities... Uh, suspect's driving a blue sports car, make.. hang on, hang on while we try to get more details." The dispatcher called. "Damn, these guys are good!" I exclaimed in my mind as I braked and went side by side with the cruisers to take em out. "No good, no good. Vehicle's dying on me here, I'm slowing down." The policeman said as his car was disabled and it crashed on the highway. I was ahead of the cops as I managed to pull away from them and I successfully evaded the police. My phone ringed a notification as I got a voice message from Neville. "Hey, uh, we need to meet up. I've given you coordinates to a Safe House. Meet me there." Neville said as the message was playing. I used the GPS to track the safe house Neville gave me the coordinates to. I drove there as I saw Neville's car parked at the Safehouse. Neville pulls up to my car and opens his window. "Darius gave you this safe house. You can use it to fix your car or chill out when the heat's on. You need a wingman and it looks like I'm in. Let me show you inside." Neville said as he assisted me to the safehouse. He opened the garage and we drove inside. I saw my crew inside the Safehouse waiting for me.
