The day of the race came as reached before Dom and many eyes were on him,it had been like this since Kage defeated Dom,he soon spotted Brian in the crowd as he thought"Is he really trying to race Dom of all people?"
Kage felt the kid was trying too hard to get Dom's attention,he had seen guys like that who wanted to take down the town's alpha and all.But Kage felt something about him was not right.
Brian seeing Kage questioned Hector"Who is that?"Hector seeing who he is pointing at smiled and replied"That my friend is Alexander Kage, the only racer to ever beat Dominic Torretto in a race,it is said he holds the drift and Street King title in Japan."
Brian was shocked and asked, "He is that good?"Hector nodded and answered, "Yes, he came a year ago, he is best friends with Dom after beating him in a race."
Dom and his gang soon arrived, Dom was driving a Nissan Skyline GT-R after losing his Mazda RX-7.Their arrival signaled the fact the race was going to start soon,as everyone gathered. Dom got of his car gave Kage a bro hug, while asking"So what's today's play?"
Kage grinned and replied"One race.$2,000 buy-in. The winner takes all."
Dom's hands the pink slip to Hector. Edwin casts a confident glance at his Chevelle gives his over. Then Kage gives his up. Brian has joined them. and said, "Hey, wait. Hold up.I don't have any cash. But I do have the pink slip to my car."The crowd is watching Brian.
Vince and Leon are ready to jump Brian as some glared at him. Dom glared at Brian, unaccustomed to disrespect like this. Edwin gives Brian a disdainful glance.
Jesse said, "You just can't climb in the ring with Ali, 'cause you think you box."
Brian smiles pointing at Vince and replies "He knows I can box. Check it out. It's like this.I lose, the winner takes my car. Clean and clear. But if I win, I take the cash, and I take the respect."
Dom questioned"Respect."Kage explained, "To some people, that's more important."Dom nodded he was thoughtfully questioned pointing at Brian's car, "That's your car?"Brian nodded as they go popped the hood as Jesse studies it and whistles appreciatively and said"I see a cool air intake. It's got a NOS fogger system and a T4 turbo, Dominic. I see an AIC controller.It has direct port nitrous injection. Yeah. And a stand-alone fuel management system.Not a bad way to spend $10,000."
Brian with slight shock asked, "You see that sh*t?"
Kage studying the car muttered"He's got enough NOS in there to blow himself up. Period.If he is a newbie and goes Nos happy then he will blow the welds on the intake and piston rings will be fried."Dom who heard all this agreed with Kage.
Brian looking smug asked"So, what do you say? Am I worthy?"Dom raised an eyebrow and keeping a stoic face replied" We don't know yet. But you're in. Let's go."
Dominic leads the way followed by Kages Ford GT, Edwin's Chevelle, and Brian's Eclipse. Brian looks back coolly. And guns it. Pulls ahead and gets on Dominic's tail. Who turns onto a boulevard. The caravan follows. Dom suddenly stops in front of the starting line,as did Kage who stops, aligning his bumpers with Dom's. Edwin does too. Brian stops too late as he quickly backs up to the others.
All the four racers started prepping up their nitros as Brian He looks over his gauges and starts punching buttons as his turbo controller beeps He starts the racing program on the dash computer.
Hector slowly raises both arms. The four racers all make the same moves as step-on clutches and their right feet light on the gas.2000RPM.Hector's arms drop. The engines scream as the four-floor it as their exhaust starts shooting flame and their cars surge forward and take off.
Brian almost loses control of the car, but somehow was able to take control of it. Dom and Kage in the lead with sometimes Kage taking the lead or sometimes Dom. Edwin is close behind.Brian gaining, his exhaust shooting flame, while Dom and Kage were on toe-to-toe nosing ahead of Edwin is a couple of lengths behind. Brian is last as he looks at his computer seeing it stage one complete he slams it into 5th. His computer lights off stage three nitrous as the car shudders at 135MPH. Brian crushes the wheel in his hands. The speedometer climbed as he passed by Edwin. Brian nose to nose with Dom and Kage. But Kage noticed Brian's car was tearing itself to pieces.
All three if them could see the finish line. Brian, Kage, and Dominic are dead even as all see the speedometer cross 140MPH as Brian's computer shows a warning "Danger to Manifold", Brian ignores it and continues to hit the Nos. But soon bolts pop off the floor plating hitting the roof and by Brian's head. He keeps going and gets the lead as Dom and Kage are shocked at his amateur move.
But Dom and Kage were waiting for the correct moment as they hit the nitrous and it was a smooth sailing as they waltz past Brian's car taking the lead again. They both cross the finish line with Dom and Kage and the race is a tie. Brian lags by a few thousandths of a second. Several car lengths behind, Edwin crosses the line a split second later. Brians car then shudders violently as he loses control and his car swerves and stops with smoke coming of the engine.Brian
just sits their is disbelief at the fact he lost.
