Welcome Back to Paradise

Paradise City, Big Surf Island, Grange Hill, Unknown Time and Date

It was a peaceful night on the futuristic streets of Big Surf Island with a multitude of colours illuminating the island and no cars on the streets. This was because Big Surf Island is now considered a testing ground for cars built by the most fastest group of driver was never, ever, ever leave a inch to anyone that dares to be in their way.

The Legion of Speedfreaks.

One second passes and a portal gate appears and was stepped out of it were five of the best drivers to come to Big Surf Island. Danger Dean, Aria Blaze, Rainbow Dash, Lightning Dust and Spitfire. Danger breathed in the coastal air and exhale as if he enjoyed it.

“It feels good to be back. Back into the Paradise City.” Danger said.

“Yeah, it feels like only yesterday we were here but… looking into the mainland it feels… different. And futuristic.” Rainbow said.

“Danger, did Twilight set the time for the present day? Or did something go wrong the time setting?” Lightning asked.

“I don’t know.” Danger replied. “I left my BSRU back at Danger City because I thought it was going to be a long and endless road to freedom from here.”

“That’s debatable.” Spitfire said, sarcastically.

“Why’s that, Spitfire?” Aria asked.

“You know with Danger and well… everyone’s least favourite driver.” Spitfire replied.

“You mean...?” Aria asked again.

“Exactly.” Spitfire replied

“Well, let’s hope that the grandious collection of arse shavings that is Il Douchebag doesn’t turn anywhere in this… Paradise City that more colourful and… 200 years into the future.” Danger said, refering to Oscura Galaxia.

The five speedfreaks didn’t need to worry about Oscura because before the vacation, Danger hacked into their portal and switched off the Paradise City option on their console and in this very moment, she haven’t fixed it. For the speedfreaks, cars that they created can be teleported into their base they called the second home, Grange Hill.

And luckily enough, five cars were waiting to be driven, parked on the entrance

“Woah, these cars looked better than the ones we used before. God I miss the Tempesta.” Danger said.

“Yeah. And my Jansen P12, Lightning’s XS12, Aria’s Hunter Spur and Spitfire’s Carson GT Flame.” Rainbow said.

“So, what do we have here?” Aria began. “Who has the dark emerald green one?”

“Well, that’s yours, Aria. Behold… the Aria Motors Blaze 660R.” Danger announced.

The Blaze 660R had resemblance to a Lamborghini Huracan STO and an Aventador on the sidepods, teamed with a Performate rear-wing and a 658 horsepower 5.2 liter V10. With a 209 miles per hour top speed, Aria thinks it’s fast for it’s amount of power that the 660R has.

“What can I say, Danger. It’s better than the Hunter Spur. Like… way better.” Aria announced to Danger. “So, what’s Dashie’s ride.”

“This.” Danger replied, showing both Aria and Rainbow, “The Jansen P12-700i”

The Jansen P12-700i was based on the design of the new Lamborghini Countach and that Danger knew that the Jansen P12 Rainbow used previously, he wanted to reflect on the character. Even though the electric 697 horsepower was 100 less the Countach LPI800, it doesn’t mean it’s slow. Rainbow could go 212 miles per hour if she wanted to.

“You know something, Danger, I was expecting it to have at least 100 more than the orginial P12, but nearly 700? I think that’s a good idea.”

“If you wanted, you could have the P12-750i, 800i GT or even a 900 GTR.” Danger suggested.

“I’ll consider it, while we go through Lightning’s Jansen XS1200.” Rainbow replied.”

Lightning’s Jansen XS1200 was a more radical (to Danger’s eyes at least) XS12 and featured Koenigsegg Agera RS and Ferrari LaFerrari asthetic. Powering Lightning’s angrier XS1200 was a 1,162 horsepower 6 liter V8 capable of going 218 miles per hour before a set of red light hampered any chance of a speed record.

“That is amazing! You do have a encyclopedia of car ideas for these 200mph+ cars, Danger!” Lightning exclaimed.

“Glad you like it, Lightning.” Danger said, now focusing his attention on Spitfire. “Now Spitfire, you’re vehicle is this: A Second Generation Carson GT Inferno. I hope you’ll salivate on the ground before into this V8 growler.”

The Carson GT Inferno resembled a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and a Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye and even had the same used to power both the Charger and Challenger Redeyes, a 6.2 liter V8 supercharged LS3 which extracts 797 horsepower. There was more to the 213 miles per hour than Spitfire knew about. Danger had to lower the final drive on the Inferno’s gearbox to get the top speed to what he wanted. He also think it could go 219 miles per hour if the car was a decline on the road.

“Danger, I’m speechless. You basically turned the Carson GT Flame I used before into a more powerful beast.” Spitfire was shocked at the levels Danger’s genius.

But before Aria or Rainbow could ask, Danger showed his creation, sitting in a Rosso Scuderia paint, the Rossolini Tifone.

The Rossolini Tifone was basically the son of the Tempesta, but a bit faster. With the design coming from a Ferrari F413 concept and Danger’s personal Ferrari, the SF90 Stradale, it screamed speed and both Aria and Rainbow knew it. Churning 880 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 6.2 liter V8, it also screamed a top speed of 224 miles power. This showed why Danger’s imaginative mind should never be underestimated.

“Observe, the genius of the British Speedfreak.” Danger announced.

This led to both Rainbow and Aria salivating over the beauty of the Tifone. Even Lightning was struggling to speak because of it.

“Danger… y-y-y-y-you made… possibly the most beautiful car I’ve seen in my life.” Aria said, shocked at the sight of Danger’s masterpiece.

“Yeah, wait till Twilight sees this, her entire skull would probably melt.” Danger replied.

“Isn’t that a bad thing?” Rainbow asked.

“Could be both, ‘cause I know Twilight loves my cars as much she loves her own. Even Jasmine Spark’s and Rusalka Swordlight’s.

“Right then, shall we take these beautiful cars for a spin?” Aria asked everyone.

“You read my mind.” Danger replied, getting into the Tifone.

Cruising Around the City and a Familiar Encounter

View Online

The five cars started a symphony of nearly 4200 Danger City horses and the echo can be heard for miles. Danger lowered the driver’s window into order to fully hear to 880 Italian stalions inside the Tifone. Rainbow did the same with her P12-700i, even Lightning with her XS1200. They started to blast their way to Paradise Keys bridge which, to Danger eyes, hadn’t changed since the last time they were there.

“That bridge hasn’t changed since last time we were here.” Danger stated on the radio.

“You would think that it had been different considering that the high-rise building are… cyberpunk like.” Aria said.

“Can I say this?” Danger asked.

“Go ahead, Danger.”

“I’ve asked Twilight if she would come to Paradise City before we went through the portal and she’s still working on her brilliant car. I’ve taken the liberty of giving her some designs of the car we used… I forgot when.” Danger explained before forgetting something.

“Was it like… two days ago, Danger?” Spitfire asked on the radio.

Danger made a puzzled face.

“How the hell did you know that?” Danger said, shocked.

“You had a conversation with her, remember?” Spitfire reminded him.

“Ok, Spitfire.” Danger said, putting an arm on the door.

The five headed off the bridge and onto the Waterfront where the five speedfreaks noticed all of the cars looking like something Danger would create if he was feeling up to it. A couple of seconds pass and they found an LMP car that looked way different the Krieger Überschall Clearview that Danger’s mortal enemy, Oscura Galaxia drove last time she was in Paradise City. But the car was more modern and more powerful. The car… was a Krieger Überschall 8 EVO X Strassenversion.

The Überschall 8 EVO X Strassenversion had a modern design than the Bentley Speed 8 which was what the original Überschall 8 was based off of. Using the design of the Porsche 963 Hybrid and Radical SR10 at the front, the Lamborghini Diamante at the sides and the Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion at the rear. Powered by a 1,851 horsepower 3.4 liter turbocharged V8 hybrid engine. It can unleash a top speed of 264 miles per hour which is something that Danger may be having to play second fiddle to… if the car ever challenged Danger to a race.

“Who would driving this masterpiece of engineering?” Aria asked.

“Probably you, Danger… but you have the Tifone.” Spitfire said, looking at Danger’s Tifone.

“Are there any variants of your car that could rival this Überschall, Danger?” Rainbow asked him.

Danger scratched his head.

“The GT version only does 225mph so this Überschall would leave that thing for dead. There is also a GTR version, but that thing only does 236 mph and that has 1,120 ponies and this has 700 more than that. It’s also got nearly 1000 horsepower more than the regular Tifone, for Pete’s sake.” Danger explained.

As Danger was talking about his Tifone, two cars went passed the five speedfreaks who were grouped around the Überschall EVO. A Nakamura Ikusa S2 GT, and a Rossolini Avance.

Danger scratched his head again.

“No seriously, who would drive this and I bet my SF90 Stradale that it may be one of us-“ Danger stated before looking southwards and finding a familiar face.

Danger told everyone else to scarper and all five cars were heading northbound, presumably following the S2 Ikusa and the Avance.

Approaching the Überschall was none other than…

Oscura Galaxia.

She noticed that the five speedfreaks had been around her Überschall and her face was written with anger.

“That moron should have known by now that the last time he encountered one of my cars, my gun was on this brain. It will happen to you, Dean. Believe me.” Oscura said to herself in her usual hateful tone of voice.


Meanwhile, Danger and his friends had caught with both the Ikusa S2 and the Avance and suddenly they stopped after they reached the Waterfront Plaza.

This gave the speedfreaks time to see who was driving the two modern cars.

The Nakamura Ikusa S2 GT was basically a heavily modified Nissan GT-R R35 as the original Ikusa, by Danger’s knowledge, was based off of the R34 Skyline. Powered by a 4 liter twin-turbo charged V6 producing 800 horsepower, it doesn’t scream out that it’s underpowered. The aggressive stance of the Ikusa S2 was needed for its 213 miles per top speed.

The Rossolini Avance, meanwhile was a sight to behold, to the eyes of both Danger and Aria. With styling taken from a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, a Devel Sixteen and the Lamborghini Diamante, the Avance was enough to make Danger’s mouth salivate on how breath-taking the Avance is. The 1.6 liter turbo-charged V6 hybrid making 1,160 horsepower and Danger originally thought that the engine wouldn’t move. But the top speed of the Avance is similar to Danger’s Tifone due to it’s F1-style technology. With a top speed 215 miles per hour, it was a car that Danger didn’t have to play second fiddle with.

What climbed out of the both cars brought a sigh of relief from Danger. It was his Triumvirate buddies, Akula and Viral Velocity but before either Speed Triumvirate member could speak a word, the Überschall Danger and his friends saw a few moments ago parked in front of Danger’s Tifone. Akula decided to let Danger do the talking as he had a history with Oscura.

A painful, brutal and difficult struggle at that.

Oscura climbed out and headed towards the group and stopped at the rear of Rainbow P12-700i.

“Oh look who just showed to give me another thrashing.” Danger commented in total sarcasm.

“We can make this quick you know, Dean.” Oscura said. “So tell me, why did you look at my Überschal?.”

“You mean the Überschall Clearview that met its maker by the fastest speedfreak alive?” Danger asked.

“I THOUGHT I WAS!” Rainbow shouted.

“Second fastest speedfreak.” Danger corrected after hearing Rainbow. “But you get what I mean.”

“Not the Überschall Clearview, you moron. The new Überschall EVO X.” Oscura said. “Such power, such passion, such glory. That Überschall will be my key… the reclaim this god-forsaken city that is 200 years into the future.”

“That might explain why the skyscrapers are so tall.” Aria said to herself.

“What do you mean by 200 years?” Danger asked.

“You are in Paradise City which you already by reading the fucking signs all over the place. But… the year is 2222. Remember this, Danger. No matter what year you are in, whatever city you’re in… you are always destined to across… the most powerful woman in the multiverse.” Oscura explained before heading back to her Überschall and blasted into the horizon.

This left Spitfire confused.

“She said we are 200 years into the future, what does that mean?” Akula asked Danger.

“It means that when me, Aria, Rainbow, Lightning and Spitfire came out of portal to the Big Surf Island, we originally thought that it would be in 2022 back at Danger City. My guess is that we may have time traveled into the future by pure accident.
