User blog:TransportFan2014/Asphalt Stories: In Hiding

Now in hiding in a temporary area while I try to terminate the portal that connects my garage in Philadelphia to the car park in the Munich Subway track.

(After getting rescued by Azelfland and R8 Tyke)

Me: PHEW!! Glad they came. And Vincent is gonna get mad. Let's get outta here!!

Kimberley: I see a car over there. We are better off using that one.

(Back at my garage)

Me: Alright. I think I have some info regarding what is in that castle. I will get the data first....

(Data download complete)

Me: Alright, we have found a place in that castle to hide. A dungeon.

Kimberley: This would be the first time I get to visit a dungeon!! Not a bad place after all.

Me: One thing to do first. (I open the trunk of my Lancer and shift the safe box into the Chrysler 300) Maybe we can check if everything is still there.

Kimberley: We could do it now, so I don't see why do wee need to check in tthe dungeon.

Me: Remember, this garage is connected to a portal that leads to one of the AsphaltLand tracks. I don't want the VVS to get their hands on our getaway tools.

Kimberley: Ah, now I get it how you could access two different cities at once.

(while driving to the castle)

Kimberley: I heard that the Zenvo R&D is up, as well as the Zeus one. I wonder if you would be attempting any of the events?

Me: I will attempt both, but I will only try to get the Zenvo, on behalf of your request. Regarding the Zeus, I am not gonna bother trying to develop it. Maybe investing only on the basic supplies and stealing the higher end ones. These bullies would probably want to see me shell out my resources on some underwhelming car. Also, who knows they would use that car to target your Zenvo? Plus with the current situation in AsphaltLand, I am not willing to develop any vehicle to perfection, maybe only a select few.

Kimberley: With that out of the way, which dungeon cell would we hide in?

Me: Basically the one near the track.

Kimberley: It is interesting that the castle has everything from the early empire ages.

Me: Yeah. Especially stuff which I can use to trap the bullies.

Kimberley: Even the one who claims she is blackmailed?

Me: I cannot tell if she is genuinely feeling guilty, or if she is attempting to use it as an attempt to escape punishment. In any case, only Lily decides wether she walks free.

Kimberley: Margaret really reminds me of Sarah.

Me: So I bet Lily will let her walk free, but we will see about it.

(At the castle)

Me: I think it would be wiser to hide the car underground. Especially wih all that high-end weapons in the storage box.

Kimberley: There are a lot of dungeon cells in there. I say we pick one with a storage area.

(while checking the cells after I park the getaway car)

Me: What a lot of chains and equipment for punishment in here. When I capture any of the bullies- looking at you, Jennifer, I will keep them hostage in this room.

Kimberley: You can think about that later. Look for one with a storage box or something.

(after finding a room with a hidden chamber)

Kimberley: I say we pick this one!

Me: Ok then. (looking at some built-in handcuffs on the wall) I wonder if you would mind having someone handcuffed in the same cell we are hiding in?

Kimberley: Maybe yes, maybe no, but watching one of the bullies suffer would be pleasing. Anyway, we gotta see wether our weapons ate still around.

Me: Okay. Everything here. By the way, the two R&Ds are on. I think I have found a strategy to get that Zenvo, and abandoning the Zeus.

Kimberley: I will come when you are in the third lab.

Me: Seeing how the event organisers are behaving, I am afraid that the VVS has taken over all the event organising parties. The Sagaris SE and i8 R&D teams do not seem friendly, unlike the C 63 and XDiavel ones.

Kimberley: Give me a call when you have reached the labs.

Me: You gotcha. (as I take the Chrysler 300) If I have to abandon this car, no big deal. There are eight cars parked by the castle drawbridge.

Kimberley: But if you got the Zenvo, you will need another ride here, since you will be sending it to your garage.

Me: I will figure it out later. (as I drive off)

(at the lab)

Me (on the phone): Okay, if I were to use the Zenvo, no big deal due to it having two seats. But the Zeus...

Kimberley (on the phone, from the castle): I will just stay in the castle and look for trouble.

Me: Well.... screw Vincent for bringing in a one-seater. And note that if I get the Zenvo, you would have to wait for 5 months before you can use it- to avoid VVS detection while the garage is in the isolation process.

Kimberley: 5 months.... unless?

Me: Unless the VVS gets disbanded. I would keep Vincent's wife alive even if the VVS is gone for good, since Lily enjoys spraying water on her. By the way, are you gonna remain in the castle, or come over to the labs, when I am about to get the TS1?

Kimberley: Wait till the Zeus R&D expires, and I will come.

Me: Fine. I thought of sending the Zenvo to my garage first, before coming back to you. Whatever you say....

(After ending the call, I proceed to participate in both R&Ds, with the intention of abandoning the Zeus 12 while keeping the Zenvo for myself)

R&D technicians (VVS goons in disguise): Welcome to the labs, Racer 8. We have two cars that our boss wants to distribute. What you need to do, just drive for us while we gatherr the data.

Me: Same boring thing.... fine.

R&D technician: And.... make sure you develop them fully. No tricks. Vincent is not happy about you, Azelf**** and R8 **** dumping his projects.

Me: There goes my money....

R&D technicians: Either get to work, or play with some children's toys.

Me: Fine.

(but as I enter the Zeus)

Me: These idiots tthink I am going to do their dirty work. One sure thing, I am dumping the Zeus project. And I am keeping the Zenvo for myself. The Zenvo is Kim's car btw, not Vincent's.

(as I finish some tests of the Zeus and I head for the Zenvo)

My Zenvo: TF2014? You back?

Me: Yes. Don't worry, I have enough supplies to get you out of here.

My Zenvo: Glad to hear that I am not going to be abandoned again.

Me: Not this time. I vowed to get you if I have enough supplies. I will keep my promise. Also, I am trying to reach 200 cars, and you are the candidate for my 200th car.

TS1: Phew!! Thank you.

Me: Plus, my girl wanted to own you. Count yourself lucky that you are not going to be left for scrap.

TS1: How lucky, indeed. Problem is they increased the pro kit requirements-

Me: Suck on that. I have just enough resources to finish your development. And I am not going to let the VVS offshore you.

TS1: But, there is a Zeus R&D in tandem-

Me: ...which is a project I am going to dispose of. I will take whatever part that R&D supplies, and pass them to you, and my LS-218.

TS1: And regarding the riots, I wonder how my development will progress. Btw, how well has your garage been going?

Me: I will make sure I get you out of the Asphalt labs. This whole city is making a fatal turn. My garage progress has been slowing down, and I intend to shut down my AsphaltLand operations soon. Not without finishing your R&D, of course.

TS1: Whatever. Let's do this!!

Me: I bet this will be one of the last R&Ds which I will attempt to win the car. Maybe the Ferrari F60 will also be one. And hopefully, the 2017 Ford GT will be the last one.

TS1: Look, don't force yourself. Just leave if you need to.

Me: There are just some memories left in my garage that I need to secure. I cannot remove them from my garage. So I have to to wait a little longer, and isolate it from AsphaltLand.

TS1: Damn.... in that case, do what you need to do.

(after completing Lab 3; at some point in the middle Kim followed me to the labs to look out for trouble)

Me: Okay. Time to go home. Kim? (I receive a message from Gordon)

Gordon's message: Looks like you never learn, kid. Keep on messing with the VVS and your girl is a goner. You were told to develop the Zeus, yet you abandoned the car. And Vincent's allies are all killed thanks to your snobby friends. Either submit to us or your girl is history. (shows a picture of Kimberley being tied up in the trunk of a Nissan Grand Livina MPV)

Me: F*** YOU. >:( WHEN I GET YOU, I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND LEAVE IT HANGING ON MY WALL. (as I see the Livina parked nearby) I need my girl back. Or....

Carver: I don't know what are you talking about, TF. Your girl is still at home.

Me: Now we all know that is not true.

Gordon: F*** you, you cabbage-eating prick. Who says it weren't you that made off with 'em? That's what I'm telling you.

Jennifer: The game's up, boys. We're outta here! (Gordon attempts to escape with his Grand Livina while I chase him with the Chrysler 300)

Me: No one f***s with my family.

Margaret: Give up, and comply to us if you want to keep your girl.

Me: You picked the wrong guy!!

Gordon: We will see who is laughing later!!

(The Livina crashes into a mansion and all five bullies leave the MPV, with Carver attempting to bring Kim into the mansion but I crash into him while he is opening the trunk, killing him)

Me: Don't even think of taking my girl, doofus!! (as I exit the Chrysler and smash the trunk lid open to release Kim later)

Jennifer: Looks like Vincent is even more pissed!! We lost one guy!!

Margaret: I think we gotta go and get that nut before he releases that hooker!!

Parker: Make him pay!!

(I see the last four bullies going downstairs, and I aim the Beryl M762 at the main entrance)

Jennifer: You two, front entrance!! Marg and I will use the back door, and surprise the boyfriend.

(Parker and Gordon open the main door)

Gordon: Time to die, idiot!!

Me: Omae wa, mo shindeiru. (I pull the trigger and spray the bullets at the door, killing Parker instantly)

Gordon: NANI?? O_O (gets sprayed by me and dies as well)

(I proceed to release Kim before Margaret and Jennifer reach the car)

Kimberley: (waking up) Where am I? (sees her hands bound) WHAT?? HOW ON EARTH??

Me: Just hang on for a while. Those bullies jumped on you. I will get you out of there.

(shortly after releasing Kim)

Kimberley: Glad you came for me. :3

Me: Conversations later. Get in my car. Now!!

(Kim enters my Chrysler as Jennifer and Margaret try to knock Kim by surprise but had to retreat when I cover-fire)

Me: Get near my girl, and you will be f****d!!

Jennifer: YOU WILL REGRET FOR THIS!! >:( (sprays bullets from her Plasma Repeater while I cover-fire with my M762)

Me: KIM!! DUCK!!

(Kimberley goes prone on the floor at the backseat, screaming, as I enter my Chrysler and pull out my Uzi to continue performing cover-fire since my M762 is nearly out of bullets)

Me: Don't worry about this. I will make these @$$#0|€$ pay. (I start the engine of my Chrysler and leave the mansion to get a clear view of the remaining bullies)

Jennifer: Looks like we gotta get outta here!! Either we get killed by our boss, or we get killed by that psycho!!

(Margaret and Jennifer attempt to escape in the Livina, while I pursue them in the Chrysler)

Me: Not too fast!! Wait till I get you!!

Kimberley: Any guns you got??

Me: Uzi, M762, SCAR-L and Railgun. Using the M762 is not advised, since I am nearly running out of bulllets when I got rid of Gordon and Parker with it.

Kimberley: You killed them? I don't know if I should say thanks, because we are going to get all the heat closing in-

Me: We will definitely have, but not so much. Vincent's empire is going down. Most of his allies are either murdered or sent to their original dimensions.

Kimberley: Mind if I use the Railgun?

Me: Go ahead. Don't kill Jennifer and Margaret though, I tthink they might be having some clues that will aid our getaway. Spare their lives for now.

Kimberley: Not to mention that Margaret seems to be blackmailed. Maybe she is playing the victim, but we will see.

(Kim shoots one of the Livina's tyres)

Margaret: OH NO!!! THEY GOT US!! O_O

Jennifer: We better swap cars soon. I DON'T THINK I CAN CONTROL THIS CAR ANY FURTHER!!

(Second shot, hits one of the side mirrors, with debris hitting Jennifer)

Jennifer: OWWW!!! X_X I'M HIT!! YOU TAKE THE WHEEL!!

(Third shot, hits the fuel tank, causing fuel to leak)

Margaret: Say your prayers. They got us.

(The car is about to skid into a garage when Kimberley fires a 4th shot, causing the car to flip multiple times and hit some abandoned and smoking Class S and Class A vehicles, knocking them unconscious)

Me: Alright. We got them. Time to get all the info we need to leave this $#!+hole. (as I leave the Chrysler and drag Jennifer and Margaret out of the Grand Livina, and stuff them in the back of my Chrysler)

Me: Fancy having some people tied behind your back??

Kimberley: Just do what you wanna do, and we find our way out.

(I handcuff Margaret and Jennifer, as well as tying them to the backs of the front seats of the car)

Me: Ok. Now we might have some new informants. We better go now...

(as I drive away, some people who are rioting toss grenades all over the place, with some of them hittting the vehicle pileup, destroying all the piled-up cars, including the Grand Livina)

(back at the castle, after locking Margaret and Jennifer using handcuffs attached to the dungeon walls and tying their legs)

Kimberley: Glad to be back. I really don't wanna be with these people who bullied us back in the high school era.

Me: They will definitely be coming back. I know it is my fault for all that happened to you and your friends. I wanna fix things now, and the number one thing I gotta do is to get out of there. But I have to close the garage. Especially with Vincent's wife in there, glued to the ground. Vincent is gonna implode soon, but Lily won't be happy to see Anais dead.

Kimberley: Dead people are not fun to play with, it seems.

Me: Looks like we need an escape route. And plan. And the location of the portal switch. We gotta find some documents, I expect that they are somewhere in the city's database. You know, the one that tracks all activity within AsphaltLand.

Kimberley: Once we get all the data, that would be our key to freedom.

Me: I obviously want that freedom. I wanna return to NYC. Living in AsphaltLand is hell these days.

Kimberley: Well, maybe you can intimidate those R&D scientists to revealing the key?

Me: Not till we extract information from our captives.

Kimberley: Speaking of which, we better look for another dungeon cell to hide in. Our cell is too close to the cell where we locked them in.

(Margaret wakes up at this point)

Margaret: Looks like I am captured.... and Jennifer is asleep. Before she wakes up.... Hey Kim. Kim? I know I did wrong to you, but can we talk?

Kimberley: I hope you are not playing the victim, but yeah, go ahead.

Margaret: Look, I know that I have been mistreating you. I was blackmailed. You see, back in the high school era, I wanted to look for new friends. But my other four accomplices- you know who, forced me to antagonise everyone else. I really had a miserable life. I wanted to make new friends, but I had a barrier....

Me: And?

Margaret: ...they kept spamming threats to me, saying that I must not go against their orders. They had a vendetta against my family and relatives. Although.... even if I did what they said, they would still do some bad stuff to my relatives. I have no idea what is going on to them now.... now that I was isolated.

(Margaret tells more her backstory to Kim and I, while I receive a tip off from the Halo Squad)

Kimberley: Ok. I have no idea if you are playing the victim, but for now, if you cooperate with us, we will let you walk free- if Lily says so. If Lily does not allow us to let you walk free, you will remain as our prisoner, but you will not get any abuse, at least from TF2014 and I. I will try to convince Lily to not punish you, though.

Margaret: I know. I deserve it. I know.

Me: Just help us get out of AsphaltLand and you will be fine.

Kimberley: And.... if Jennifer is awake, you pretend to be loyal to her. Make sure she reveals any info she has.

Me: Are you insane, Kim? You want her to-

Kimberley: Dude. I know, but if letting Margaret toss all the insults at me makes Jennifer reveal some clues that Margaret may not have, I'm on. Don't bother about anything else for now, just focus on leaving.

Me: Fine, then. And I hope that Zenvo you wanted contains some data-

Margaret: You say that Zenvo? I think Vincent has stuffed some data in the car. I am not sure, but Vincent clearly wants to use the Zenvo to lure you and Kim out of your camping spot. I aam not sure if it has any data, but it is worth checking out.

Me: Wait. So you are saying that the car I intend to give Kim contains some clues? I hope that is true-

Margaret: I said I was speculating.

Kimberley: I hope that data is not causing us to go on a wild goose chase....

Me: The fourth lab is about to come btw. Wanna stay here or come along? The last thing I want to see is you getting abducted again.

Kimberley: I will still go. Plus I want to confirm Margaret's myth. Also I heard that some of Azelfland's crew are infiltrating a building near the labs, where most of the VVS goons are hiding it. If I am lucky to find one.... time to feed them some Magnum...

Me: I bet you are not referring to that ice cream or lottery ticket....

Kimberley: .300 Magnum to be exact.
