//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 - The Search for Allies Part II (The First Wave Begins) // Story: The Battle of Paradise City - A Burnout Paradise Story // by DangerDean //------------------------------// After Danger’s second success of the ‘How to piss off Oscura’ saga, the convoy continues their search for more of their friends. Danger felt more relaxed this time as he already made Oscura’s life a living hell, twice. So with Rainbow leading the convoy consisting of her friends: Danger, Starlight and Aria who recently joined. Danger saw two familar car parked on the side of road outside the Wild Cats Baseball stadium: A white Carson Marais and a pink Montgomery Hyperion. Rainbow decided to park behind the Hyperion, Danger and the rest parked on the same street and when she got out of the P12... Pinkie, being the most craziest racer of Burnout Paradise, was her usual self when one of her friends turns up. “DASHIE!!!!” Pinkie exclaimed as she turned and tightly hugged Rainbow. Danger, having witnessed this, was a bit surprised. “If I got hugged by Pinkie right now, I’d be asking for oxygen from Nurse Redheart in the first second.” Danger sighed as he was having a solioquy of Pinkie. “Pinkie just will neveeer change, will she?”. Rarity was quite responsive to Pinkie hugging Rainbow to death. “Pinkie?” She asked Pinkie, thinking that’s quite enough. “Don’t overdo it, darling. You don’t want to Rainbow to be cramped the next day, do we.” She lightly pulled Pinkie away from Rainbow, but she was having none of Rarity’s advice to Pinkie. “Relax, girls. I’ll heal easily. As I’m dangerous.” But then heard Danger shouting because he had his window down. “THAT’S MY NAME YOU KNOW, DASH!” Rarity heard his comment and raised her eyebrows in a ‘why did he do that’ expression. “Don’t mind him, Rarity. He always like that, with his nemesis, Oscura.” Rainbow stated as she wanted Rarity to know this, but that comment just ticked off Danger slightly. “CAN I MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I CAN STILL HEAR YA?!” he exclaimed in his own style of a Royal Canterlot Voice. Aria heard Danger comment as well, despite being the last one parked. “Danger, Danger never changes, does he?” She thought as Starlight hoofpalmed. Rainbow then decided to return to the topic at hand. “So girls, do you want to help Danger with his Oscura problems, we need all the help we can get.” She asked Rarity and Pinkie. “OK!” Pinkie accepted instantly. Rarity took a little longer, as you would expect from somepony who has a fashion business. “Sure, why not!” Rarity also accepted. A few seconds later, Pinkie shotgunned back to her car after Rainbow and Rarity shook hooves. After they got into their cars, Aria led the convoy towards the Observatory for some preparations if Oscura does strike. A couple of minutes later, on a junction just north of the Naval Yard, Danger decided to lead the convoy, upon doing so, the Überschall was cruising towards Lone Stallion Ranch. But then... Danger didn’t see the Überschall coming and his Tempesta sideswiped Oscura into parked cars, again. Danger’s Tempesta had taken a battering from the crash but he was alright and his Tempesta was still driveable. “Won’t be doing that move again in the future,” he thought to himself having Rainbow Dash overtaken him after the crash. Meanwhile, Oscura was totally, totally, angry by this. Tears of rage was flowing down her cheeks. “WHAT ARE THE ODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDS! EVERY TIME! EVERY TIME I HAVE A NICE DRIVE ON PARADISE CITY, I GET MY CAR WRECKED BY DANGER! WHY!!!!!!! YOU STUPID PEGASI! I GONNA KILL YOU, THEN I’LL RESURRECT YOU THEN I’LL KILL YOU AGAIN. THEN, I’LL SUMMON THE LEGION OF DOOM, WISH YOU BACK AND KILL YOU THRICE. THEN I’LL FIND YOUR SOUL IN THE AFTERLIFE, KILL IT AND COMEBACK TO DANCE ON THE ASHES OF YOUR CREMATION! BY NUKE, FOLLOWED BY A PLANET CRASHING TO EARTH, THEN TO FINISH IT OFF, A LASER THAT WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING IN THIS DAMN PLANET! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Afterwards, Danger found a repair shop drivethrough and was back to having a fully repaired car again. Rainbow was a bit concerned over the crash Danger had with Oscura. She pulled over on the one of the shortcuts of the Naval Yard. The rest were all concerned over Danger so they joined Rainbow and stopped their cars. Rainbow open her door and headed towards Danger’s Tempesta, looking quite concerned because she wouldn’t see her favourite pegasi in the universe, wounded or even worse, dead, which is what Oscura would have wanted. “Danger?” Rainbow asked him while he wiped his brow. “Yeah, what is it?” he replied as Rainbow sighed. She could tell that Danger was OK. “That Überschall completely came out of left field. I mean, what in Celestia’s name would she...” But before Danger could finish, he heard the roar of a light green Hunter Civilian, Rainbow quickly reconized the driver of the Civilan. “It’s CHRYSALIS.” Danger looked and his mouth went agape. The Civilan locked up and slid in a 180˚ turn and parked about three feet away from Aria’s Hunter Spur. Chrysalis had a facial expression akin to Oscura on the first time Danger and Rainbow encounted her back in Lone Stallion Ranch. “YOU...” “YOU...” Danger thought to himself. “Is she going to say what I think she is?” A few seconds later, Danger was correct. “TOTAL IMBECILE OF A PEGASI!” Chrysalis bellowed out.
