“Hi, Danger. I saw the roadblock in front of you, so I thought I’d give you a hand.” The girl said with a smile on her face.
“Who are you, by any chance?” Danger asked her.
“I’m Black Flame, professional racing driver and member of the Legion of Speedfreaks.” She introduced to herself.
Danger thought it was Oscura for a minute as she has the same hair colour as Black Flame. The only difference is that Black Flame is a more kind-hearted person, unlike Oscura, who still haunts him to this day.
“Black Flame, I...” Danger said, wanted to thank her for assistance, but was interrupted.
“Please, there’s no need.” Black Flame said, approaching to Danger. “I was an enemy of Oscura since I first heard that she made your life a complete misery.”
Danger became lost for words as to how Black Flame knew Oscura.
“Wait, what... HOW?” He exclaimed. “How did you know I was Oscura’s enemy for at least a decade.”
“It’s simple, it can be traced back to a race you participated at Appleopolis, at the seven eighth-mile oval track. You were in a late-model stock car race sporting the number 15.” Black Flame explained. ”The race was had nothing special until there was five laps to go. You were leading the field to the green after a two car incident. Oscura was fourth and your best friend, Rainbow Dash was fifth. When the green flag waved, Oscura tried a move to get second place which succeded and on the final lap, she tried to pit maneuver you to snatch the lead off you. Using the bottom lane to your advantage. You gently tapped the front-right of Oscura’s car with the rear and sent her into the wall at 75 mph at turn 3. Rainbow took second as she was in third at the time of the crash, the yellow flag didn’t wave and you cross the line in first with Rainbow right behind you.”
Danger was intrigued by the Black Flame’s little story.
“And that’s not all!” Black Flame continued. “When you headed to your RV, Oscura was waiting at the parking area, looking very angry with you. When she saw you, she rushed straight towards you and grabbed the collar of your racing suit and was holding onto you for about twenty seconds.”
Within seconds, a flashback hit Danger when he was in the parking area of the oval track as to what Black Flame was talking about. But the flashback was cut short by the sound of Oscura.
“WHAT WERE YOU DOING, YOU INCOMPENT IDIOT!” She shouted from behind Danger.
“Oscura, can you just not shout at my new friend like that, he has feelings you know!” Black Flame snapped back while Danger turned towards her.
“Can this be a time for me to ask what the hell you’re talking about?” Danger asked her, totally confused and annoyed at the same.
“No, not right now, Dean.” Black Flame responded as she didn’t want to him to sass her.
“SHUT UP, YOU!” Oscura boomed as her eyes turned red once again. “WHY DID YOU CAUSE SO MUCH DESTRUCTION CONSISTING OF MY HOPE OF KILLING... THIS SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN AND MY CONVOY OF 14 CARS.”
“I hate to see him get hurt, he’s one of my new friends.” Black Flame said, trying to win the agruement, but to no avail.
“NEW FRIEND, pfft” Oscura scoffed. “Having more friends isn’t gonna save Danger from his ultimate downfall.”
“I don’t know what crap you’re on about, Oscura.” Danger said, in a unconvinced expression. “Because if you destroy me, I will come back ten times stronger... and faster at the same time.”
“DON’T GIVE ME YOUR SASSY, STUPID REMARKS TO ME, DANGERDEAN!” Oscura boomed and within seconds, she pulled out Desert Eagle and pointed it square at Danger’s head. “Remember this, Danger. You’ve been my nemesis for a decade now... and I feel like that’s one decade too many!”
Danger said nothing, he doesn’t believe what Oscura had said in the last 20 seconds, every single word.
“Have I tormented you enough, Danger? Oscura asked Danger in a madwoman-style tone in her voice.
Danger had enough and readied his Scorpion EVO and aimed at Oscura’s car
“No, but thank you for asking.” Danger said and fired a shot at Oscura’s windshield.
Black Flame then readied her RPG-7 and ordered Danger to move to side. Danger had another idea. The idea was to drive off with the Excelsior and he wanted to get out of the way from the RPG round coming from Black Flame. With an aura of bright flames coming from Oscura, Danger used this to his advantage to get into his car and speed through the wrecked pickups that Black Flame left behind five minutes ago.
Seeing Danger’s escape, Oscura fired her Desert Eagle five times which amazingly to Danger, all of the bullets missed his car and made contact with the burning pickup trucks. Oscura screamed in rage and she couldn’t be bothered with Danger until she seemed ready to try and kill Danger. The key word being try. She decided to head back to her car, but before she could, Black Flame fired the round from her RPG-7 and Oscura’s car exploded on impact, Black Flame meanwhile, kickstarted her Ducati and sped off, leaving Oscura to cry in rage as flames began to flicker and burn the OSC1 Nemesis into nothingness.
In the Legion’s HQ however, Rainbow was getting a bit concerned over Danger and fearing that Danger may have back caught by Oscura. As she looked at her watch which read 13:30.
“I hope Danger OK, it’s been about 40 minutes since the convoy got destroyed but he hasn’t returned.” Rainbow sad as she sat on the couch in the penthouse suite.
“Don’t worry, Rainbow.” Crimsonia said, putting her right hand on Rainbow’s shoulder. “I just heard from him that he’s with Black Flame.”
“Where is he though? That’s the real question.” Rainbow said, looking very worried.
“He told me that he’s heading southbound on the Expressway. He told me that he’s going to be here in about fifteen minutes.” Crimsonia replied.
“I should hope so.”
Meanwhile
Alliance of Extreme Darkness Headquarters
Oscura City, 18:05
Estrella was having a talk with two new members of the Alliance, Thundershock and Dark Fire. Thundershock was having a dual-mood moment, The first mood is meeting Estrella for the first time. The second was a hatred with her nemesis, Lightning Dust. Dark Fire was the same with Spitfire, being her nemesis and everything. Estrella wasn’t interested in Thundershock’s first mood at all, but was interested in how she became bitter rivals with Lightning.
“So... how did you become enemies with Lightning, Thundershock?” Estrella asked while taking a seat on the couch.
“It’s very simple.” Thundershock replied. “I was on a road trip about five years ago to Nova Exalos with Dark Fire and as we were heading to I205A, two cars were already on the interstate and I believe they were leading a convoy to Crystalmore 360 miles south of Oscura City.”
“OK, so... what were the cars that were on the interstate at the time of the encounter?” Estrella asked with Inferno entering the room.
“There were a lime-green Bentley Continental GT Speed and a Ferrari 488 GTB in red.” Thundershock replied.
But before the conversion could go any further, Inferno was waiting Estrella’s attention. After Estrella got up and walked towards Inferno.
“What is it, Inferno?” Estrella asked as she folded her arms.
“We’re having a bit of panic moment.” Inferno replied with sweat running down her leather suit.
“Why?”
“Because... Anti-Pinks, Rotten Apple and Diamond Rush had a bit of a run-in with a DSR 4500X 'Intimidator' Super GP.”
Estrella’s eyes lit up at the word ‘Intimidator’ as she thought of her cars, the INF206 Intimidator R.
“Who?” Estrella asked.
“It’s... a five letter name that been causing us bother since Oscura became enemies with Danger.” Inferno replied.
“Inferno... please don’t tell me it’s not Akula by any chance?” Estrella then announced while stroking her hair.
Inferno nodded as Estrella eyes turned bright red. “Is he... friends with Danger by any chance?” She asked in a more hostile tone in her voice.
“They met in Paradise City in... I can’t remember the exact date of when but...” Inferno said before being interrupted by Shadow Wings’ modified Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S and an extremely angry Oscura Galaxia.
“What’s up with her?” Estrella asked Inferno on why she looks like a bomb at one second to blowing up.
“Hmm... possibly... her car blown up and what she doesn’t realise is that..” Inferno said and grabbing an OSC1 Nemesis key. “She does have a spare. Anyway we should leave her to cry out and I hope she doesn’t break anything.”
“I should hope so.” Estrella said in dismay and within seconds, the door to Oscura was slammed shut and Oscura herself was on her bed, crying her eyes and wanting to brutally kill Black Flame for blowing up her OSC1.
