With the world now succumbed to the power of the Crimson Sun, Danger wasn’t that bothered about it because he thinks that machine Oscura could be manually deactivated. He sipped his coffee and gazed into the distances as the Crimson Sun gave an ominous glare. Few months later, he sat down on the couch and wanted to check what was on the news. He switched on the custom 64 inch flat-screen TV at the right time because it showed parts of the Army of Eternal Darkness. Shots of OSC5 Imperator Elixirs, OAV8 Maledictas, Leopard 2A7s with dragon head-shaped turrets and flamethrowers which Oscura named ‘Drachenpanzers’, a multitude of Oscuraguards which were heavy robots capable of firing red lasers and the main guardian of Oscura City, the Oscura Monitor.

“What the…” Danger said to himself in shock.

He paused the news broadcast to gather any thoughts he may have about what he saw.

Oh my goddess, Oscura. You really are flexing your war machine muscles a lot here. Danger thought to himself.

Then Rusalka entered the room and she felt symphathy towards Danger as he had been the victim of Oscura’s acts. Her vision was fixated on the Oscura Monitor that was on the TV screen.

“What the… Danger, you know about this?” Rusalka said in the same amount of shock that Danger was in.

“Yeah, too much, Rusalka,” Danger groaned. “I really think we’re not gonna get out of this nightmare in one piece… now that the Oscura Monitor is now operational.”

“What do you mean, Danger?” Rusalka asked.

“Rusalka, Oscura is permenantly hellbent on killing me so that they can enslave us like what she did Sonata Dusk.” Danger replied.

“Sonata? Why didn’t you tell us before the second assualt, Danger!?” Rusalka demanded.

“She told me last week she had flashback to Adagio and she isn’t the nicest of the Dazzlings, unlike Aria and herself. She was on the return journey when she got ambushed by the Allaince of Extreme Darkness and… do what they did to her?” Danger replied. “They swapped her mindset and she was now loyal to her mistress… which is Oscura.”

“When have you heard that?” Rusalka asked.

“Sonic told me.” Danger replied. “He also told me last night that I meet this ‘Egg Legion’ business which I thought to be a hoax and that Sonic was clearly intoxicated… on stupidity.”

“He told me it’s genuine before I need the news of-“ Rusalka said before being interrupted by the arrival of Aria.

“Danger, I think someone is trying to contact you for the past thirty minutes.” Aria said,

“Who?”

“Who do you think?”

Danger went silent for a moment.

“Not her is it?” Danger asked.

“Afraid so. She wants to speak to you, one to one, in a park at an unknown location, 243 miles from here.” Aria replied.

“I will give her the taste of my medicine one day, Aria.” Danger said. “Believe me I will.”

“I know you will, Danger.” Rusalka said, putting her hand on Danger’s shoulder.

While Danger was getting ready for a possible bullet to the chest (according to Danger’s thoughts), Aria, Beatrice and Rainbow were going over the some of the cars that Beatrice built.

Beatrice Radiance was wearing a simiar outfit to Viral’s but in light blue, yellow and orange and on her shoes had her emblem with consists of a mirrored ‘B’ and a ‘R’. Her hairstyle was similar to Cloudchasers but in blue and yellow. She is also long-time friends with Rusalka Swordlight.

Beatrice first showed Aria and Rainbow her mid-engine project Porsche 911 GT2 RS she created back in 2018. The modifications Beatrice put on the Porsche was a Duke Dynamics widebody kit, a custom rear wing, a 1,040 horsepower 4.7 liter V8 and an eight speed racing gearbox. Flat out, her Porsche 911 GT2 RS can achieve a top speed of 220 miles per hour.

“I remember you building this, Beatrice. The pure genius is something that Danger could achieve.” Aria said.

“What’s your secret to this?” Rainbow asked.

“Well, Dash. The idea is to make sure your anti-roll bars on your cars aren’t stiff because you will understeer. That’s something that you wouldn’t want when you are being chased by Oscura.” Beatrice replied.

“You know about Oscura? When?” Aria was shocked by this.

“Rusalka told me, I knew that would be in serious trouble if I didn’t come here.” Beatrice said. “Now Aria, if you thought the 1,040 horsepower wasn’t enough for you. You can try the Beatrice Motors BR002.”

“What is that?” Aria asked.

“The cars beside the what I call the BR001.” Beatrice replied. “It’s a Porsche 911 GT2 RS again, same engine as before but it has 1,165 hp. It also have Chevrolet Corvette C7 and Lamborghini Aventador influences including the same widebody kit.”

“Wow!” Rainbow exclaimed.

“And beside that is the Radiant 750. It basically a heavily modified Porsche Macan with 750 horsepower 4.7 liter V8. There’s also an extreme offroad version two floors up.” Beatrice said pointing to the car.

“If Danger could see this I think he would’ve have took that thing for a spin.” Rainbow stated before realising something. “Speaking of… where is he?”

“Danger’s probably having an argument with Oscura over dumb shit again.” Beatrice replied.

“In fact, Beatrice… He’s doing that as we speak. I told him to take the teleporter to around 100 meters withtin the location I put in.” Aria said.

While Beatrice going over her projects, Oscura was gazing into the crimson horizon while the rain was pouring down. She was in an oriental-style arch with a roof over her head in order for her leather outfit to not get wet.

“Well, the point of no return is coming, Danger. There’s no time for me to waste on your stupid acts.” Oscura said to herself, out loud.

This was enough for the drenched Danger to hear.

“What stupid acts, Oscura?”

Oscura gasped and her anger was flowing.

“Like being when 10 meters away from me, making me sick… like you always do?” Oscura replied.

“There is a reason for this, Oscura.” Danger interjected. “You’ve been mind-controling Legion of Speedfreak member and turning their mindsets into yours. Ruthless, barbaric, destructive, hatred of me. Doesn’t that ring any bells to you?”

Oscura growled at this.

“Sonata Dusk was one of them. You had to urge to send two of own members to hunt down her down and make become one of your own.” Danger continued. “You even interrogated the shit out of her to get as much info as possible for your own gain. What led to this perpetual cycle of madness anyway?”

“Stop it, Danger! You’re not making it any better me!” Oscura shouted at him.

“Let me tell you.” Danger said, beginning his story. “You never liked your mother do you?”

“Stop!” Oscura screamed in a crying fashion.

“If you hadn’t have slapped the wall, by my doing of course, in that oval stock race over a decade ago… I would’ve congratulated your victory and we would become friends.” Danger continued.

“You ruined my race, Danger!” Oscura sobbed. “You caused my mother to leave me for good. YOU’RE THE CAUSE OF IT!”

“But wasn’t that what you wanted, Oscura?!” Danger voice became slightly more hostile. “I wanted to win that race as much you did. But you had to block me at the one opportunity I had at overtaking you.”

Oscura wept more because of what Danger said.

“Here you are now, not sheltered from the rain, tears flowing your cheeks and I’m relishing the moment to see you on your knees.” Danger joked.

Then a second later, he turned into his hostile tone of voice with Oscura sobbing

“You live a sad life, you realise that. You rely on your own sisters and relatives from different families to keep you cozy. Well, me and Rainbow are planning to have kids one day… and I’ll be damned if I have to raise them in a hellscape such as Oscura City. You’re getting sick, Oscura. Sick and tried of being tortured by someone who you despise for years. But… like I said before… I enjoy doing it.”

“Get away from me, please!” Oscura sobbed.”

“What’s that Oscura, wanting to discuss to inevitable surrender?” Danger teased. “I’m all ears on that.”

Oscura quickly grabbed Danger and both of them fell to the floor.

“I’ve had enough of the false charade of your shit, Danger. I will kill you this, belive me I will.” Oscura venomously spat out, with tears still falling her cheeks.

“But who are you going to enact your evil rhetoric on if you-“ Danger asked before being punched in the face. Seven times and twice on the chest

“I will find a way.” Oscura said before grabbing Danger’s chin. “Now listen here. You are forbidden to enter Oscura City and if I catch you within a foot of the entrance, Oscura City will be the last city you visit because you’ll be dead.

While Oscura was holding him, Danger grabbed Oscura’s Desert Eagle and shot her on the arm she grabbed his neck.

“ARRGGHHHH!” Oscura screamed, clench her arm.

“We’re even now!”

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN, DANGER! I PUNCHED YOU IN THE FACE AND YOU SHOT ME, HOW ARE WE EVEN! YOU BASTARD, I’LL KILL YOU!” Oscura screamed.

As Oscura got up, Danger punched her head as some payback to when she punched him back in Danger City, knocking her out cold.

“Well, I guess that’s makes up for it, Oscura . But let me tell you this, I’m slightly ahead of you.” Danger stated while squating down.

10 seconds later, he activated the portal and headed back to the Penthouse Suite.
