Twisted Metal - The first Tournament

[Kid Game]

Here is my first fanfiction on here. It is a story on the twisted metal games.

[Kid Game]

Kid was a nice man. He was always happy and was rarely mad at anything. Even when he was mad he got over it quickly and usually ignored whatever bothered him. Usually he was a quiet person keeping to himself not bothering to talk much unless it was necessary.

He had lots of friends and he usually talked to them in his spare time or when he had a day off from work. He enjoyed playing video games of all sorts but particularly like shooters and violent games. When mad he always played violent games to relieve stress. Instead of hurting people in real life he hurt computer opponents in games. It was just harmless fun. One game he liked was the Twisted Metal series. It was one of his favorite game series where you chose a car and battled other cars with the objective of destroying them all and meeting calypso to gain a wish. Kid always won the game. Little did he know that the twisted metal tournament was actually real.

His co-workers usually teased kid a lot and picked on him since he always was talking and thinking about games even on the job. He got yelled at by his boss a few times even though his boss liked games too. Everyone said he was addicted to games but kid didn't care. So what if he liked games a lot it didn't bother him. A few times some of his co-workers even beat up kid and kicked the shit out of him. Kid got pissed off when they did that. He had always wanted revenge and was always thinking of how he would do it.

That day it was pretty hot out and was in the high 80's. Kid had just got off of work. He stopped at his favorite burger join and as soon as he walked in one of the waitresses saw kid and came over to him.

Jane- Hey kid. I take it you want your usual again?
Kid- Yep. That bacon cheeseburger medium well. French fries and coleslaw. This place has some of the best burgers in the world. Oh and a sprite too please.
Jane- Sure thing kid.

Jane smiled as she went in the back and got kid his burger and a glass of sprite. Kid ate the burger and fries rather quickly and drank down the sprite as well as it was his favorite drink and was very refreshing. Jane gave kid his bill which was the usual $6.25. Kid paid the bill and left a tip and walked out to his car, a sleek bright red ferrari. He got in and drove home which was only a mile away.

As he got home he parked the car and then walked outside to check the mail. There was quite a bit of stuff in there. He scanned the letters seing who the sender was to see if it was important.

Kid- Lets see what do we have today. Hmmm a bill, bill, another bill, a few video game magazines, a cooking magazine, oooh that music cd I ordered is here, another bill and....hey what the heck is this?

Kid looked at an odd letter in a plain white envelope. It was the kind used as a special notice yet it said nothing of payment now due or anything like that. It was weird but kid thought the letter was strange. There was no return address which made it much more weirder. Kid walked back inside his house and set the mail on the table and sat down and opened the strange letter. Inside was a message which kid began to read.

" Dear Kidgame,
I have been watching you. I know all about you. I know that you are a quiet man that tends to keep things to yourself. I know that your co-workers at work always tease and pick on you and ebat the shit out of you because you like video games. There is no reason for them to do that. I know you want revenge but you don't know how to get revenge. I can give you the opportunity for revenge but you'll need to do something else first. That is win. Win my competition. I, Calypso, cordially invite you to join this years Twisted Metal Competition. You and your ferrari should be worthy conteders. I'll give your ferrari a special attack as well as some weapons to start. I will tell you the locations of the arenas as the time to battle comes closer. Of course the arenas will be littered with weapons and health pickups as to which you'll need both. You will battle to the death with a lot of fellow competitors in a "friendly" competition. You simply have to destroy all the other cars with your weapons. What do you get for winning? A wish. The winner and there can only be one, gets a single wish anything that they desire. As for the losers, well death shall be their only reward. I know you are tempted to join this competition for revenge. So why don't you join? It's just a friendly little game. So what do you say? Will you join the Twisted Metal Tournament? I will be contacted you and you will join.
Sincerely,
Calypso."

The letter was weird and disturbing. It sounded like something right out of a video game. Was it actually real or just someone playing a prank on him? And if it was real how did this guy know about kid and what happened at work? Twisted metal was kids favorite game but he wondered what kind of twisted joke this was. He was tempted to join and win but if he lost he was dead. Dead in real life or just in the game and be ressurected after the game? Kid was always one to take risks but he disregarded the letter and tossed it in the trash.

Of course the letter was real and Calypso would be contacting kid again by phone and email and perhaps another letter.

Of course calypso himself was at a local car dealer looking at some cars. He was thinking of which ones to buy or take so that they could be used in the tournament. Of course everyone looked at him weird since he was missing his left eye and his face was a little bloody. Someone asked what was wrong but calypso replied by shooting them with a Glock. Calypso took around 25 vehicles for now and used his magic powers to teleport them to his garage for modifying.

It was all over that nights news. Every channel said that calypso had been sighted at the local car dealer looking at cars. He murdered someone and took 25 cars. It was frightening. Everyone seemed scared yet kid didn't understand why.

The next mornings newspapers all talked about the previous days events. They all said that commando was at the car dealer and killed a few people and took 25 cars for his contest. The headlines in the paper were "Twisted Metal: It begins again".

[Kid Game]

His alarm clock went off at 6:00 am. He got out of bed and went into the bathroom and started up the shower. Kid enjoyed a nice hot shower in the morning since it woke him up. It was relaxing but suddenly the phone rang. It always annoyed kid- the phone always seemed to ring when he was busy. Kid didn't worry about it. If it was an important call the person would leave a message or call back later.

After getting a shower and getting dressed kid went downstairs. He checked his messages but found none were left. He checked the caller ID and surprisingly it said noone had called yet today. The last call was received yesterday around 5pm. Kid ignored it even though it was strange. He went over to the coffee pot and pot some regular coffee beans in the pot and then walked outside to get the mornings newspapers.

The headline was "Twisted Metal- It begins again." Kid gasped and then walked inside and read the article. It mentioned someone named calypso and a picture was also shown. The article continued onwards saying that the man was at the local car dealership in town and had stolen at least 25 cars using his magic ring of power. One of the witnesses was Agent Stone- he was a member of the police force and had known calypso since after all he was in the tournament once according to what the newspaper said. By then the coffee was ready so kid poured a nice big cup of coffee and put in some cream and sugar.

Kid was shocked. Agent Stone knew calypso. Stone had been a good friend of kid's for the past few years. Whenever kid had trouble with someone agent stone took care of it. They had always been good friends but why hadn't stone mentioned calypso or twisted metal before? Kid would have to see agent stone later and ask him about it. Suddenly the phone rang again. Kid walked over to it and picked it up.

Man- "Hello. Is this kidgame? This is important."

Kid- "Yes this is kid game. Now who are you and what do you want and more importantly how did you get my number. I never give out my phone number.

Man- "How I got your number is not important but everything else is. I am calypso. I run the twisted metal tournament. You received my letter in the mail correct?"

Kid- "What? What the hell kind of sick joke is this? Twisted metal is just a video game. It isn't real. I don't know you your trying to fool but is certainly isn't me."

Calypso- "But Kid I am not trying to fool anyone. Twisted metal is completely real. I am the real calypso I hold a tournament each year. If you don't believe me ask agent stone. He's that cop on the police force. He knows all about it."

Kid- "Well I was going to see him later today. But how do you know about agent stone?"

Calypso- "Isn't it obvious? He was in some of my other tournaments. He was one of the lucky ones. He didn't die but he was a good competitor despite his loss. So are you going to join my little tournament?"

Kid- "I don't know. First off I don't have any weapons. Second, I don't even know where this crazy tournament is even at."

Calypso- "I told you in the letter that I would supply you with some weapons and that I would tell you where the battles are held."

Kid- "Well seing as how my life isn't full of excitement I say what the hell. I may as well join. But I'll need weapons and I need to know where the tournament starts."

Calypso- "Very well then. I knew you'd join. Remember that if you win you get a wish. You can have anything such as revenge on your co-workers from the shit they do to you. Don't worry about the weapons. You have more then one vehicle correct? Leave your ferrari home today. Take your Ford Pickup to work today. While your gone some of my friends will stop by and fit your ferrari with some armor, machine guns, and some weapons and missiles."

Kid- "Well as long as you don't damage my ferrari then go ahead put some armor on it and 2 hood machine guns and a bunch of weapons. Don't scratch it though. I don't want to use a damaged vehicle."

At that calypso said goodbye and hung up the phone. Kid was shocked. He still didn't believe it. Was twisted metal actually real or was someone trying to trick him. Kid wanted answers so he called in to work and said he was sick and couldn't come in. Luckily though he had the day off anyways.

Kid got the keys to his Ford pickup and got in and started it up. He took off to the Town & Country Diner. It had some of the best breakfast around and it was also very popular. Agent Stone also ate breakfast there early in the morning and should be arriving there around now. Kid got there at around 7:15 am and got lucky finding a parking spot next to the entrance. Sure enough Agent Stones squad car was also parked up front. It was easy to tell it was his since the license plate read "Stone".

[Kid Game]

Kid walked inside the diner and looked around. He saw agent stone sitting at a table reading the days newspaper. He had a cup of coffee and was waiting for breakfast which was probably his favorite and kid's too- Egg's Benedict. Kid walked over to the table and sat on the opposite side of agent stone at the same table.

Kid- Good morning agent stone. And how are you this lovely morning? Getting the eggs benedict again?

Stone- Oh hey there kid. Didn't see you come in. I was reading the paper and drinking coffee. Yeah I'm getting eggs benedict. Aren't you supposed to be at work by now? You'r never late.

Kid- Well I went to call in sick but apparently I had the day off. Anyways we need to talk. You see yesterday I got this weird letter in the mail and today I got a weird phone call. I dont know how I mean I never give out my address or phone number.

Stone- Well you know how people are. They enjoy getting laughs out of pulling pranks on everyone. So what was weird about them? You can tell me who knows I might know who sent it.

Kid- I'm certain you do know who it is. You know how one of my favorite video games is Twisted Metal, correct? Well in the mail yesterday was a letter and it basically said I am invited to join this years twisted metal tournament and that Id get all the weapons I need. It was written from calypso.

Agent Stone had a look of fear in his eyes. He knew that bastard calypso and calypso was nothing but trouble. His crazy tournaments usually wound up destroying the cities and nearly destroyed earth once.

Kid (continuing)- And this morning I got a phone call from calypso. He wanted to know if I was joining the tournament. He said to take my Ford pickup to work today so that his men could stop by and put armor and weapons on my ferrari. I thought it was weird since twisted metal is just a game. I mean its not real is it?

Stone- He called you? Don't associate with calypso. He is nothing but trouble. That piece of shit scumbag nearly destroyed the earth once. I've been in his crazy tournaments before. Most people who lose the game die but I was lucky enough to live. Twisted metal is very much real it's more then just a game. Don't join it. Your just going to wind up dead. He always has some of the most dangerous criminals in the game. Even if you beat them you'll never beat the boss vehicles.

Kid- Stone what are you talking about? I'm an accurate marksmen and if the tournament levels are like they are in the game then I already know the loactions of weapons and power ups. I already told him what the hell I'll join. I have my ford. Left the ferrari home today.

Stone- Big mistake. But then again I've been in the tournaments before. But then again what's one more game to play? Seing as how the crime rate is at an all time low I may as well contact calypso and tell him I'll join too. Trust me kid the real tournament is tough and dangerous. You won't last long without me thats why we will sign up for the tag match twisted metal rounds. We can look out for each other. But please be careful I don't want to lose another friend. Twisted Metal was already taken the lives of many of my friends I don't want to lose anyone else to the game.

Kid- Well if you say so. It would be nice to have a friend helping me. But if this tournament is as dangerous as you say it is then I'm going to need all the help that I can get. But is the tournament real or are you trying to prank me.

Stone- Kid I already told you that Twisted Metal is totally real. It's not some video game so don't act like it is when you join. Just be very careful. Calypso will try anything to make sure people die and he will easily pull the tricks on us too.

Stone (looking at watch)- It is getting awfully late now. I need to go to work now in the office. I'd better finish the case I'm working on so I don't have work to do during the tournament. Just be careful today calypso could send assassins to kill you. He's tried that trick before so just watch your back kid. When I get off work tonight I'll contact calypso and get in the tournament then I'll call you. Later.

Kid- Later.

Agent Stone walked out of the door and got in his squad car and drove off. Seconds later kid walked out of the diner as well and got in his ford pickup and left. Since he had the day off and had nothing better to do until agent stone called him later that day kid decided to go do some shopping.

[Kid Game]

(Damn, it's been a while. I suppose I'll make the fanfic area more lively. Time for a little update on the twisted metal fanfic. It's probably gonna be a little short since its late. I'll probably do another chapter tomorrow. Maybe start a new fanfic. Having more to read is good.)



Kid looked at his watch. It was noontime. He had several hours to waste before going home, so he continued with his plan of going shopping. He headed off to the Shoprite which had a big sale of pretty much everything in the store.

As he pulled into the parking lot he saw that the lot was pretty full. He expected it anyways since the sales always attracted tons of people. He saw an open spot next to the door. An old station wagon was going for it. Not wanting to waste time kid floored it, and flew right into the spot before the station wagon knew what happened. Of course kid had hit the brakes and stopped himself from hitting a wall.

He got out and proceeded to enter the store. The old man driving yelled out the window but kid ignored him. Kid would soon find out that was a bad idea.

"Looks like our little friend took the bait. Kid beat me to the spot as planned. He ignored me too. He's entering the store wearing an 8 ball shirt and a pair of shorts. He has a big red hat on too. Boys, teach him a lesson in the store. I don't care what it is, just do it!" The man spoke into a portable CB radio, apparently talking to someone inside the store.

Inside, kid was in the produce aisle grabbing some fruits and vegetables. He grabbed some apples and oranges, and a bag of grapes too. Watermelons were on sale so he took one of those too. Vegetable wise he took some lima beans, corn, eggplant, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

He went over to the deli section next. There he went and got a few slices of ham, some turkey, bologna, liverwurst, cheddar chess, and a pound of provolone chess (which was his favorite).

He glanced at the fish and seafood section and saw a package of fried flounder and decided to try that out. Scallops were on sale and they were his favorite kind so he took a package of those too.

He had an odd feeling and looked behind him. He saw a man dressed in black staring at him. The man saw kid and quickly looked the other way. Kid just ignored him and went to get some cereal. He got what he wanted and noticed the man was following him down the aisle. Again kid ignored him and he went down the aisle with all the cans of soup. He grabbed some Chicken noodle, vegetable, cream of broccoli and cream of mushroom.

As he finished putting the cans of soup in his cart he noticed 2 men in black. One at the front of the soup aisle and one at the end. They threw some cans of soup at him but kid dodged. He then knew something was up. He ran forward to the end of the aisle and rammed the guy there. The man in black was sent flying right into the nearby pool of lobsters and crabs. Kid laughed as all the lobsters and crabs began pinching the man.

He went over to the dairy section next and got a box of eggs, some milk, and some orange juice. This time a glass bottle of tomato sauce flew by his head and hit an old lady, knocking her down.

"F***ING HOOLIGANS! God damn you!" The old lady yelled out. She was obviously in pain.

Kid quickly ran down the dessert aisle. Another man was there but kid had a pan he grabbed earlier. He smacked the man on the head with it. The guy promptly fell over. Kid continued down the aisle, only stopping to grab a small container of ice cream out of a cooler. As he put it in the cart, several bottles flew by him. They hit another old lady, an old man, and a store clerk who was stocking ice cream in one of the freezers.

All the people yelled out. Kid ignored them and ran to the registers. He saw an open line which he ran in. He didn't wait for the slow employee to ring everything up so he took the items and tossed them over the scanner. The cashier just watched as all the items were tossed, scanned and bagged in under a minute. Kid swiped his credit card, grabbed the receipt, and took off running out the door.

Before he got there gunshots starting to ring out. They sounded like small handguns but kid heard the telltale sound of a sawn of shotgun. He ducked and watched as several windows shattered. One employee was hit in the arm and he soon yelled in pain loudly as blood sprayed on the counter. The manager of the store up front and he saw the thugs shooting at kid. Without further thought he ran to the courtesy desk and slammed his fist onto the alarm button.

Immediately red lights flashed everywheres. Shoprite security guards rushed out. The men after kid fired a few more rounds at kid, who dodged. The shots hit more windows and a male employee who was currently bagging items. Kid took off running as to get out. Hopefully the security would hold off the goons long enough for kid to escape. As he ran out though there was another man outside who hit kid with a baseball bat in the gut.

Kid screeched as he fell down. Before he was down he did a leg sweep and knocked the goon down. The attack didn't hurt kid much so he got back up. Kid took the baseball bat and hit the downed goon a few times. He then picked up the man in black and tossed him into a nearby trash can. He then ran to his car and threw everything inside. He then quicklt started up the car and floored it out of the parking lot. He quickly headed home.

He knew that if he stayed out much longer that more thugs would be after him. He figured he would be safe at home. He drove as fast as he could. He soon found out he was being followed. He would have to lose the tail before going home.

[Kid Game]

After getting in his car he headed home. It was a fine drive at first but soon he noticed he was being followed by a black cadillac. He tried to lose it by taking several side streets and a few sharp turns. At one point he thought he lost it but he saw the cadillac round the corner and continue the chase.

Kid tried to speed up but he noticed that the cadillac was doing the same. He saw traffic up ahead so he decided he had to play cat and mouse with the traffic and the cadillac. Kid swerved in front of an old porsche and then passed and got in front of a red mitsubishi 3000GT. He then got ahead of a school bus and decided to slow it down a bit.

He thought it was a good idea until he saw the black cadillac pull up to kid and maintain speed. How the hell that cadillac was keeping up with kids enzo ferrari was beyond kid. At full power his Enzo Ferrari had over 1200 horsepower and could go over 300+ MPH. The cadillac had little trouble keeping pace. Suddenly the passenger side windows on the cadillac rolled down and out came several hands which were brandishing sub machine guns.

Kid saw them and swerved to the right and put the brakes on. The bus got alongside of him and just in time as it got riddle full of bullets. He noticed the kids on the bus were screaming and crying that they were shot at. The bus driver honked the horn and began yelling obscenities out the window at the cadillac. It turned out to be a bad idea as the men in the cadillac reloaded and then riddled the bus with more bullets.

Luckily a cop car cruising the other way saw the cadillac firing at the bus and immediately put the sirens on. He quickly spun around and chased after the cadillac. He called in for reinforcements and about a mile ahead 2 more cop cars joined in. One went and rammed the cadillac head on, doing damage to the cadillac and to the cop car itself. The cops immediately got out of their cars and tossed tear gas grenades into the open windows of the cadillac. They then tossed a flashbang in and then proceeded to deal with the driver and passengers which were now knocked out.

One cop noticed the bus had pulled over so he went over to the bus driver and got the details from her. The bus driver didn't say a word about the enzo ferrari. He did say that this black cadillac came out of nowheres and cut him off, and then fired bullets at the bus. The cop looked and saw the bullet holes in the bus. Luckily the kids were safe but were scared at the incident.

Kid hadn't bothered to stop since he was in a hurry. He kept going forward until he came to the road leading to his house. He turned onto his road and then casually drove down into he got to his house. He turned into his house and to his surprise he found Agent Stones Swat SUV parked and waiting for him. He pulled up next to it. Agent stone got out and helped kid unload his groceries. Kid told stone about what happened in the store and about him being followed home. After that Stone told him that the Twisted metal tournament was about to start. In fact, it was the very next morning.

[Kid Game]

Agent Stone had decided to stay over night at kids place. Since he was a cop, kid could not say no to him. He was best friends with the officer so it was fine with him anyways. Stone had a busy day having caught several crooks and being caught in an intense firefight. He sat in the living room watching tv, drinking coffee and eating a box of fresh donuts. Meanwhile, kid was making a nice meal.

After an hour or so it was ready so they sat down and ate. Stone offered to clean up so he did. Afterwards the two went and played video games for several hours. They were both skilled and kid won about half of the games, stone won about half too.

It was late at night and both were tired. Officer stone slept on the couch while kid slept in his comfortable luxury bed.

Come 7 in the morning both were up at the smell of the coffee pot making fresh coffee. Both were so thirsty that they had a whole pot each before they were done. Of course during this time they each ate half a box of donuts.

Afterwards stone said "It's time. Twisted metal begins in about an hour. If we leave now we can get to the first arena and be ready for the first round to start. I suggest we go now, bad things happen to those that are late."

Kid had no objections to this. He got in his Enzo Ferrari (which was totally different). Yesterday he drove it and it had no weapons or machine guns. This morning it had 2 hood machine guns, a special weapon, armor plating, a stock of missiles and other weapons and more stuff.

"Looks like Calypso's men paid you a visit last night." Stone said upon seing kid's souped up Enzo ferrari.

"That they did. I guess I'll be needing all these missiles and stuff." kid replied.

Kid put on his seatbelt and started the enzo ferrari which roared to life. Agent stone got into his swat SUV. The sound of its engine starting was nothing compared to kid's ferrari. Since kid had no clue where to go he let stones SUV take the lead.

He followed behind watching stones every movement. It was a rather straightforward trip. They took few turns at all. After about an hour they pulled up into the entrance to an old Junkyard. There were guards stationed at front and they approached the van and ferrari. One immediately recognized stone and let him in. He then come to the ferrari and said "Who are you?"
Kid replied "I'm kidgame. Im the newcomer to this tournament."

"Ah yes, kidgame. We modified your vehicle just last night. I hope our modifications meet your standards. Enjoy the free missiles, machine guns and special." the guard said as he let kid enter the junkyard.

Kid drove in and pulled next to agent stone. For such a rumored to be huge tournament the turnout for round 1 seemed small. Not counting himself or agent stone, there were only 6 cars. Including himself and stone, there were 8. Everyones engines were silent. Everyone was watching straight ahead at a big tv screen. It was blank but suddenly it flickered on. Calypso appeared on screen and began to speak.

"I am calypso. Welcome everyone to twisted metal. The winner of the tournament gets 1 wish. Anything their heart desires. The losers? Death shall be their reward. Ah, Kidgame, I see you are out there in your little Enzo Ferrari. I hope you enjoy the special mods my men put on your car. I've been watching you. I expect to see great things from you. Im sure your wondering why a big tournament like mine only has 8 people in round one. Well there are more contestants. There are other rounds taking place elsewheres right now. You'll meet the other people later. Now enough idle chit chat, let's see some action. Go! Start your engines I want to see explosions!"

At that the tv turned off. All 8 people started their engines and their vehicles were surrounded in a white light. They were then all randomly teleported to 8 different areas of the junkyard.

Kid saw he was in a warehouse filled with weapon pickups so he drove through them collecting more ammo for his arsenal. He contacted Officer stone on the radio and asked where he was. Stone replied back saying he was in an open field. Stone didn't like being out in the open and was driving for cover. He turned into a building and there he met kid.

Kid and Officer stone teamed up and had to somehow take out the other 6 cars. Suddenly a missile burst through one entrance. In came a pink lowrider. Kids radar beeped and indicated that the cars name was Thumper. Another enemy burst in from the side entrance and kid saw that it was a Blue sports car with white stripes down the middle. This one was labeled as spectre. Spectre fired his machine guns at kid, while Thumper went after Stone.

They were in the warehouse when Specter and Thumper burst in. Kid decided to go after Specters car, while Agent stone kept the lowrider busy.

Kids Ferrari had taken minor damage from the machine gun bullets, but it was nothing spectacular. Apparently specter had weak bullets or something. Kid returned fire with his own machine guns and also tossed in a homing missile for good measure. Specter returned the favor with his own missile, but his car was jolted and tossed back when it got hit in the side with a power missile.

The power missile had really done some damage to Specters weak armor. Specter must have had no ammo left as he shot a freeze missile at kid, then ran off to look for health while kid was frozen.

Meanwhile, Outlaw has chased thumper out to a small area towards the left of the warehouse. There was a small platform with energy flowing in the middle of this area. From what he heard this was a health platform that would heal a vehicle to full life when they used it but it would only work twice per vehicle. The area also had several crates which were soon smashed, revealing homing and fire missile pick ups.

Agent Stone was chasing after Thumper, pelting it with machine gun bullets and firing homing missiles at it. For some reason the low rider didn't seem interested in fighting him, but did fire the occasional homing missile to try and deter outlaw.

Unknown to Outlaw however, Thumper was trying to lead Outlaw to a car crushing machine in hopes that it would smash outlaws car and destroy him. If that failed, Thumper would lead outlaw to other cars and catch him in a crossfire of missiles.

Eventually the car crusher was in sight and thumper had timed it just right- he had time to drive under it without being hit, but if Outlaw followed then he would be crushed. Thumper used a turbo and zoomed past the car crusher (which had started to drop). Stone thought the lowrider was crazy but soon caught on to what was up and stopped just in time as the car crusher harmlessly impacted onto the ground.

While he was trying to find the lowrider again, someone else had found him first. It appeared to be an old beatup pickup truck and it had fired a spiked ball at outlaw and when it got close, the ball slammed into the side of outlaws car, exploded and causing damage. Checking the onboard computer, agent stone saw that this was Junkyard Dog.

So agent stone turned to face the Junkyard Dog and attempted to ram the vehicle. He managed to see that the driver was all mutated and looked like a mutant. He only rammed the side of the truck, and it barely did any damage. So outlaw turned around and fired his own special, a salvo of special "High Impact" bullets from the chaingun on the roof of his vehicle. These bullets did a number on the pickup, as the windshield and windows all shattered, plus the rear left tire burst, causing the truck to lose control a bit. A moment later though Thumper appeared again and fired a fire missile at outlaw.

Meanwhile, kid had finally become unfrozen and had driven around looking for a target to attack. Luckily he found none yet. This must have ment that they were simply hiding from him, or they were already in combat. Anyways this was good for kid who took the time of silence and collected some missile pickups and a gas can.


(Note: Number on left is current health, number on right is the maximum health of that vehicle. Also, unknown means that the vehicle in that spot has not been spotted so nobody knows who else is in this arena. So far it is kid and outlaw, plus thumper and specter and the junkyard dog. There will be 3 more vehicles and will make an appearance shortly.)
