Previously, Spike along with his cousin Gabriel discovered an excavation area where they found what appeared to be minerals. Now they are in a junkyard seeing the different cars crushed and others about to be just sheets of what they were before.
"Repeat me. Why are we here?" Garble looks around the piles of cars as he asks Drake why they are there.
"If we want to get to our cousin, we need something faster than Old Waylon, besides, it's about time we got our own car", he replied as he looked through the piles of cars, searching for the perfect car.
While searching, they coincidentally come across the owner: A 23 years old boy with short dark turquoise hair, moderate bluish-violet eyes, and a brown complexion. He wears a moderate amaranth colored T-shirt over a black jacket, ripped dark blue jeans, cowboy boots and a leather hat. He is Thorax's older brother: Thomas "Pharynx" Jennings.
"Well, look who I have here, none other than 'The Masters Of Madness' hehe", he laughed and then proceeds to greet them with a fist bump. Then he continues: "What brings you here? My humble junkyard?" Asked them.
"We need a car, one that's fast and strong", Garble replied, to which Pharynx thinks and smiles, snapping her fingers, "Say no more, I've got the perfect car".
So he leads them to another part of the place, where they see more cars that can easily be salvaged, but Thomas stops in front of a car covered by a white tarp, pulls it out and they see it: A black 1969 Dodge Charger, lacking a wheel, front bent up and grill a mess.
"It's all yours".
"Really? Without paying?" Garble looked at him in confusion, noting that he didn't ask for any money.
"No, we have to pay you. What do you want?" Spike looked at his friend, who only smiles at the insistence of his best friends. Then he doesn't take long to answer: "I would like to be at the barbecue that they will do for Eliza's return".
"You're invited, just like your brother", they said at the same time. After that, we see them on a trailer, taking the precious car to the place where they will be able to repair it.
The place is nothing more than the mechanical workshop of John "Thorax" Jennings, a few meters from the town, there is a knock on the door and his friend comes out, who sees the car they are driving.
"Looks like Pharynx was generous with you guys, bring that beauty inside", they complied and take the car into the garage, where John starts to look at it and lifts the hood, seeing a dirty and somewhat dirty 7-liter HEMI V8 engine broken.
"Can it be saved?" Spike asked hopefully, something that made Thorax and Garble laugh, but the second orange haired man replied: "Sure, it'll take about a week with your help".
"So what are we waiting for? Let's get to work!" The other orange haired said excitedly, grabbing some tools.
At that time, the 3 begin to repair different parts: Gabriel the back, John the engine and Spike the interior until late at night. At that, a certain cowgirl Apple appears, walking in and coughing to get everyone's attention.
"Oh, Hi Ja- I mean, Applejack", Spike almost says the nickname she doesn't want anyone to know and chuckles.
"Hey Spike, hey guys", Jackeline greeted the others who stopped what they were doing and waved at her.
"What brings you here?" Thorax asked as he wipes his hands on a rag.
"Oh, I just wanted to know where the Duke cousins were, I didn't see them at their house", at that, Garble playfully nudges Spike with his elbow, he knows what he means and pushes him annoyed: "Stop doing that already!"
Everyone laughs at her reaction and Applejack looks at the car, walking around it; seeing the work that the 3 are doing: "I see that you achieved something really good, your brother knows how to keep relics".
"Yes, he likes these things".
After some time together, Jackie leaves and leaves the others to finish off for the night.
The next morning
The Dukes visit John's mechanical workshop, walk by and see them still fixing the car, advancing to another stage, putting the front end back in place, changing the grill, etc.
"Hello nephews", Nick greeted them closely followed by Lynda.
"We brought you something to eat so you don't starve", Velvet smiled and put the box of food aside, watching with her husband the boys' work.
"You know? I had a relic car in my youth, around the 60's", Night Light recalled when he saw the Dodge being repaired.
"And which one did you have?" John asked interested in the car he had.
"He had a 1960 Chevrolet Corvette, in that car we had our first kiss", Lynda was moved when she remembered that moment of her life in the 60's.
After the brief visit they continue to do their thing, entering the third and longest stage: Get and replace the parts that no longer serve the car. This is how a week goes by and the car is almost ready, while Spike has a question: "Hey, Thorax. What did you do with the safe we took out?"
"Oh, I already fixed it, you calm down"
In the excavation
They are Discord and Flash in the office, seeing the broken wall but with the safe in place, full of soot and closed, they open it and see that the 3 tubes are still in place.
"Well, at least they're where they belong", Flash said, pulling out one of the tubes.
"Check them, just in case", Discord had a suspicious face to see that he was blown up and the ones who did this left. Ken opens the first one and sees that the minerals are there, he opens the second one and everything is fine, but when he opens the third one, they see common rocks.
"Official?"
"Let them look for the Duke cousins, there are traces of a truck and something that they dragged" He smiled and leaves, without saying something to his dear assistant: "Oh, come to my garage later, they got a fast car, you have to face them with something fast too".
back with the cousins
They are resting from their hard work, they just need the final touches and it will be ready. The two of them go out for air and go to the same restaurant-pub, where they order the same thing.
"It will be ready soon. And I hope to get the most out of it!" Excited to drive his new vehicle, Spike celebrated and they both clinked glasses.
"Hehe, I hope to know soon what it feels like to be in a Muscle Car".
They eat what they ordered and watch the TV that is hung behind the bar. But suddenly, Flash comes in asking for the Dukes, no one says anything and they sneak out, only to run after seeing more patrols chasing them, after a while they lose them and go quickly to their friend's workshop, where it was also happening Applejack.
Hi, bo- Whoa!" She doesn't finish her sentence as the green haired man grabs her arm and walks her into the garage, proceeding to explain: "Listen, Flash and the police are following us".
"Don't tell me they noticed", a surprised John comes out of the bathroom and walks towards them.
"We have to go find Twi, quickly" the orange-haired man told Thorax, who says: "Come on, it's finished".
They follow him and see the coolest and most beautiful thing their eyes have ever seen: The Dodge Charger now in orange, with an 01 on the doors, with a black bumper, wheels with split rims and the crimson and blue flag.
"I call him General Lee", they try to open the doors, but see that they are sealed, to which John continues: "It's racing", he smiled when he saw Garble enter through the window.
Before Spike walks in, Jackie touches his shoulder and he turns around: "You guys went to that dig? And you're going to find Twilight to prevent something bad?" The cousins and Thorax nod, to which Applejack says: "Let me come with you, please".
Seeing her like this and asking them to let her go with them, they look at each other and then at her, receiving a smile from everyone and inviting her to get on her indomitable steed.
Outside the workshop, are the patrols commanded by Commissioner Coltrane, patiently waiting for them to leave. In that, they see the door open, listening to the furious engine of a car. They then exit, releasing General Lee outside and walking past the policemen.
"Stupid! They didn't have to give them free passage. To them!!" He yelled at them and they immediately got into their patrol cars chasing them while they honk mockingly:
