//------------------------------// // Home sweet home and void stuff // Story: Asphalt wars // by Hoax1337 //------------------------------// After going through the forest for a couple of kilometers, I finally managed to reach my home, which in only 2 years has suffered many changes, althrough they are not visible from outside, because I was going underground. I reached the garage door and I used my phone to open it, and I was greeted by a ramp that took me to an underground garage. After reaching the bottom I parked my car in one of the various parking spots I had, and if you thought that I only had one car, then you are for a surprise, because I actually had more than one. First, I had a Tesla model S, an electric car that looked as a regular car, so If I wanted to enter a city for any reason in incognito, this was a good car to use. Thanks to it's fixed gear, I can accelerate really fast to the 100 kilometers, and with a top speed of a bit more than 200 kilometers per hour it was a car that was also suitable for racing. Second in the list I had a Subaru Impereza Wrx Sti, and this was the first car I used to practice the manual transmission. When I managed to dominate it, It became the second most used car by me, as in the void they really like quarter mile (400 meters) drag races with manual transmission, making the art of shifting gears a determinant skill to win those races. I also had the Pagani Zonda R, which had a special space in my heart because when I was only a child I managed to buy it in the phone version need for speed undercover, being the most expensive car in that game, and I remembered my exitement when I drove it for the first time. I used it in friendly regular races across the multiverse, in real earth circuits and also in fantasy ones, such as sector 8. Seriously, if you think of the track, it surely exists somewhere in the multiverse. Of course, when there was an interdimensional tournament I would use the Koenigsegg, so I could try to end in the best position and win good prizes for my position. I actually managed to be between the top 20 of one thousand in one of those competitions. After shutting down the engine I went to the door that led to the rest of my home, and when I opened it, I knew I would have to make some cleaning. I went to the service closet and took everything I needed to clean, and started with the tedious task. >---------< After what it seemed to be hours, my house turned from a dusty ruin into an (almost) brand new house. The four bedrooms of my family clean, the kitchen shined, the sitting room as new, toilets unclogged and the underground swimming pool with clean water. After so much effort, I decided to sleep like a rock. >---------< I woke up the next morning before the sun came up, and I decided to check on my interdimensional bank account, so I could see how many speedpoints I gained from the pursuit. When I first found out of the currency being speedpoints, I thought that it was a joke, but I learned later that due to racing being a dangerous carreer needed to balance harmony and chaos in the different universes and at the same time being a fun activity that you needed to be extremely lucky to be a racer, speedpoints were a really valuable currency, to the extreme of 1 speedpoint being the equivalent to 10 dollars. I opened the bank account and I found out that the recent pursuit that I had gave me 2000 speedpoints. That was above the usual, as I generally recieved less than a thousand speedpoints per task acomplished, but taking into account that the pursuit had a high impact on the media, I supposed that It was ok. I checked the total balance of my account and I found that I had in total more than three million points. That's right. Three. Million. I might be a millionarie, but for being a racer it was under average, but I didn't care that much, because it was more than enough for retiring for more than 10 years. But of course I wasn't going to retire, racing is life and I didn't intend to change it. After that I contacted the interdimensional property services, and I recontracted the water and electricity services, as they were cut off after I was imprisoned and I was running on the emergency reserves, which sooner or later would run out. Due to the void being the void, all the sevices were restablished as soon as I ended the call, I went to my good old computer to upload the pursuit I escaped. I connected my dashcam to the computer, I did some basic editing such as cutting off unnecessary parts and the video was ready. I opened a web browser and proceeded to create accounts in various sites, such as a video sharing site called MyVideo, which I supposed it was an equestrian version of Youtube. At least the site names did not have horse puns. While the video uploaded, I decided to check all the news webpages to get up to date. I first opened the canterlot times, and an aerial photo of my car escaping was the the first thing I saw. I did not expect that, as I was released at the same time as discord. I found out that the royal guard had a very clean record, and most of the pursuits ended with an arrest, so the media found it surprising that I managed to escape them, almost causing a crisis in the royal guard. I can't believe they are so intolerant to failing. Errors exist to learn from them, not to simply give up. Inspirational quotes apart, I found out that the street racers of equestria had a forum, and I read many comments on how exited they were that 'the first racer of equestria' was back, and that they were waiting for me to appear in one of their many nocturnal meetings to challenge me, so I decided to take the initiative, and I wrote an invitation: "Tomorrow at 9:00 pm, at the outskirts of ponyville. -Zephyr Ps: I will come in a different car." And at the same time that I sent the invitation, I got notified that the video finished uploading. This gonna be good.
