KITT: Phew!! And speaking of KARR, the whole KARR project was actually abandoned in 2009. But knowing Vincent, he somehow stumbled on the AI unit of KARR. So that's how he managed to convert one of his gang cars into KARR. Thankfully, KARR is gone because the rogue programming of KARR made him an extremely brutal and tough enemy. And of course, (breaking the fourth wall) KARR's voice is identical to Optimus Prime's voice, so it will not be too surprising if in any case, there are a handful of people who think that Optimus Prime got hypnotised, and took a new chassis.

Revision as of 16:13, 9 August 2019

1) Getting rid of all remaining Vivendi artilery with the help of K.I.T.T. and the Halo Squad 2) Destroing the portal switch to ensure that no one can open it again. 3) Taking K.I.T.T to Lexington Park, Philadelphia before the portal closes for good, but got interrupted by Vincent who demands a 1v1 duel. 4) I accept the duel as my final race for my entire lifetime; but I eventually switch from the McLaren 600LT to K.I.T.T and escape to Lexington Park 5) Sending the 600LT crashing into Vincent's Lamborghini Centenario via K.I.T.T's remote control, resulting in Vincent being severely injured, and both cars getting totalled 6) Returning to the castle to discuss on how to send the remaining 3 cars to a UNSC D96 Albatross to be hauled to Lexington Park while waiting for stormy weather to facilitate the escape

The name of the episode is a play of the new game mode Showdown, although the episode will not feature much elements of the game mode, and the fact that the Showdown Update will be the last update in which I will be playing A8, before I quit the racing scene for good without any second thoughts.

(Unlike other episodes, I will wait for P1 Boy to bring in his ideas for this episode. While Kim and I can delete all remaining Vivendi artillery on our own with UNSC-supplied weaponary, the presence of the Halo Squad would spice things up, so I would wish to include P1 Boy and Blue Team, along with many Spartan troops, assisting my monkey-wrenching of Vivendi's remnants. I will also make use of the "tabber" template to reduce the length of the page since all 4 penultimate episodes would be extremely long; same goes for the absolute last episode and probably the epilogue.)

Waiting for UNSC Troops

On one of the bridges leading to San Diego Harbor track, the last known command center of Vivendi following the destruction of the last HQ; 1830 hours; July 28, 2019; Foggy weather

KITT: We're here. I hope I don't have to go against my programming after this.

Me: No worries about that. But if we do not destroy whatever Vivendi is left with, I am concerned that Kim and I won't make it to the getaway plane. As if the incoming attack from the Fiends, Covenant and Forerunners against this place is not bad enough.

KITT: I get your point, though. Are we going to just stay idle right at the remaining Vivendi-controlled district?

Kimberley: I have to say yes. While waiting for the Halo Squad to come so that we can get this party started. After all, your chassis is indestructible, so we do not have to worry about goons coming our way.

Me: Halo Squad would arrive in 25 minutes later. Check your artillery.

The two of us check our Z-750 Binary Rifles, T-58 LAAW Fuel Rod Cannons, Hybrid BR85Ns, M363 RPD Sticky Detonators, M395B DMRs, Z-390 Heartseeker Incineration Cannons, and MLRS-1 HGL Hydra Launchers, as well as the M762, M16A4, AWM and Groza

Kimberley: All UNSC weapons are in working order, with more than enough ammunation for today, same for our signature guns. I have yet to check the Fuel Rod Cannons though, but I can tell that the Z-750s and Z-350s are also fully operational, with no signs of defects present. No jammed parts, no worn out parts, no faulty triggers, none of that.

Me: When the Halo Squad comes, it's showtime. And nope, we are not going to just stay inside KITT and let it do all the work itself. We will let KITT take advantage of its M249s and its indestructible chassis, but things will only be fun if we watch the goons and their artillery and their boats disintegrate into nothing.

Kimberley: I wonder what weapons would Sierra-117, Sierra-104, Sierra-058 and Sierra-087 bring along. By the way, I can also tell that the HGLs are also in full working order.

Me: I am sure that they would bring their usual stuff like Z-390s, M395Bs and SRS-99s. Besides the M363s, I have a whole chunk of M67 Frag Grenades. Enough to disorient the goons while the M363s do their work.

Kimberley: By the way, how many minutes more before we spot some UNSC D79-TC Pelicans, AC-220 Vultures and AV-22 Sparrowhawks, and laugh at all the destruction to the remnants of Vivendi....

KITT: That would be 19 minutes.

Me: 19 minutes before we can dance over Vivendi's grave. By the way, I heard that Margaret and Douglas managed to finish the Continental Championship and are on their way to Lexington Park. Which means we do not have to worry about the Continental GT3 being a whistleblower.

Kimberley: Once we are done, I wanna bring the news to those who were hiding in Boston. Wherever they are hiding at now- only KITT knows, I wish to let them know that our departure is about to reach soon.

Me: That will happen as soon as we make it back to the castle safe and sound. You, look out for Vivendi goons. I will look out for the UNSC gunships.

Arrival of troops and discussing the plan

1855 hours, when a small fleet of UNSC Pelicans, Vultures and Sparrowhawks arrive

Me: You wait here, while Kim and I go and discuss the plan with the Halo Squad. When I give you the signal, it's showtime.

suddenly, an enemy Aeshma Spellspinner appears

Kimberley: What the! What is that!

Kimberley kicks the Aeshma only to realize that he is immune to all physical attacks despite having staggered from her kick

Kimberley: That's just great.

Kimberley throws a Plasma Grenade at the Aeshma and destroys him, causing him to dissipate into pyreflies

Kimberley: Stay down, monster.

John-117: That's one of those fiends that we have mentioned. Anyway, just focus on desstroying their artillery. The fiends, wether allied with UNSC or not, are on their way to deal with the remaining command centers, or for simplicity's sake, HQs.

KITT: Well, I know just the plan. Ssome of you take care of their boats, others take care of the SAM sites and any artillery-related stuff. I will assist the (friendly) fiends, by distracting thee goons.

Kelly-087: By how? Bait?

KITT: Yes, bait. While the fiends had to fight against the goons, all I am going to do is to rely on nothing more than Turbo Boost. Maybe I would look for you guys if any of you is having trouble with VVS goons, but I doubt that they would last.

Me: All weapons loaded? while holstering my M762 and pulling out a Hybrid BR85N Battle Rifle

John-117: Copied, all weapons loaded.

Me: Good. Let's teach this pricks before I isolate my garage from AsphaltLand, and make my plan to leave.

P1 Boy: What about the Ford Capri FE, the Infiniti Q60 and both Koenigseggs?

Me: I will figure about the Capri FE later. As for the other 3 cars, I will hijacck them directly from the VVS and send them to a D96 Albatross, for direct transport to my garage; I will decide what to do with all my cars there next time. Enough chattering, let's rock!!

All of us begin taking our positions within the harbor, and prepare to cause massive carnage to the VVS from 1910 hours

The monkey-wrenching part

Vincent: Where are these monsters coming from?

VVS goon 1: I don't know, sir. Th-

the GEN3 MJOLNIR-armored VVS goon is killed by a Black Elemental that used the Death Arcana spell

VVS goon 2: Kill it!

the 12 VVS goons shoot the Black Elemental, but they can't even put a dent into the elemental fiend. The Black Elemental counters with an Ultima spell, knocking out many of the goons and severely wounding the rest

Vincent: What kind of bastards would bring such monsters here?! AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, LET ALONE WHERE THEY CAME FROM!!

a squadron of Cactuars, Chocobos, and Tonberries raid the VVS garage, and all of the VVS cars are subsequently destroyed save for this Centenario

Vincent: THEY CAME FOR OUR GARAGE TOO?!

VVS goon 11: (weakly) Yeah... they.... did.

the VVS goon 11 succumbs to his wounds

VVS goon 13: What the- HOW MANY OF THESE GUYS ARE HERE? AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM??

The Cactuars storm the commaand center and attack the goons with weapons they borrowed from the Forerunners

VVS goon 15: There goes my new MJONLIR GEN-3 armour!! Dip$#!+$!!!

The goons try to attack the Cactuars with their Plasma Repeaters, Plasma Pistols, Lightrifles and Scattershots but the Cactuars manage to dodge their shots

VVS goons 13 to 24: What the- how the heck??

VVS goon 25: Say bye bye, you alien. While aiming his Scattershot at one of the Cactuar's head

VVS goon 19: WHAT THE F- WE HAVE THAT HOSTILE CAR IN SIGHT!!!

The 25th VVS goon was about to shoot the Cactuar when KITT uses Turbo Boost to barge into the office tower, which distracts the goons, giving the Cactuars time to strike back

VVS goon 22: F*** IT!! IT'S THAT DREADED CAR AGAIN!!!

The Cactuars shoot the goons with their borrowed Scattershots, Lightrifles, Heartseekers, Binary Rifles and Boltshots, eliminating them in mere seconds while the goons were distracted by KITT's repeated Turbo Boosting into their command center

Chocobos: Kweh Kweh, Kweeh!! (This place is clear of goons. Let's regroup with our squad by the entrance!!)

Cactuars: (Yeah, we did you all a favor to take out the command centers.)

Chocobos: Kweh!! (Help is appreciated. Let's regroup.)

At the car park below the ruins of the command center

KITT: I hope these goons are neutralised before they could do anything to impair TF2014's escape plan. Either way, I am getting back to the entrance, and see if TF2014 is done. (sending transmission to me) KITT to TF2014. Have you finished what you are doing?

My transmission: Not yet, but almost. Two boats left, but there are a lot of goons.

KITT: 10-4. I am heading to where the Halo Squad is at.

Me: Copied. As soon as the allied fiends and the Halo Squad leave, it's time to close my garage doors.

KITT: I gotcha. I will be plotting a waypoint to your ruined garage in the meantime. KITT out, till we regroup.

Me: TF2014 out.

KITT heads for the harbor entrance once it ended the transmission; at the same time the Chocobo-Cactuar-Tonberry squads have just finished clearing all command centers

KITT: That's a lot of goons!! I better help the Halo Squad deal with these guys.

KITT suffered a direct hit of a Heartseeker charge while heading for the Halo Squad, but remains undamaged, and the charge deflects towards another VVS goon

P1 Boy: I wonder how did KITT withstand a direct hit, but that's amazing!!

Fred-104: KITT's hull is able to withstand any kind of impact, that's a bonus!!

KITT: You take care of these goons. I will distract them for you.

KITT stops in front of the entrance to the harbor, thus blocking the goons from proceeding to the Halo Squad

VVS goon 30: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO ENCOUNTER THAT CAR??!! IT'S LIKE CANCER TO US!!

P1 Boy: Yeah, cancer. And we are here to accelerate your demise.

A massive pile up of VVS 9FFs, AF10s and Centenarios occurs at the entrance which is blocked by KITT, with the Halo Squad destroying the cars after they collided

KITT: Can anyone check if TF2014 and his girl are okay?

Linda-058: (using her Nornfang's scope to monitor a sinking ship) I am watching... as far as I know, I heard the sound of a Groza, BR85, Z-750, M395B, M363, TAR-21, Z-390, PLasma Pistol, Plasma Repeater, M45D, M762 and ARC-920 from the boats. I cannot tell if they are okay.

P1 Boy: As long as you hear the BR85, M762, ARC-920 and Groza, you know they are okay.

John-117: Yeah, the VVS has no BR85s and ARC-920s in their possession. The M762 is TF2014's favourite rifle, and his girl tends to use a Groza if she could not reload her BR85 and Binary Rifle in time. So yeah, the minute you hear a BR85 and ARC-920, you know they are okay.

KITT: Focus on the entrance, I need to bring TF2014 and Kim out of that boat. There are too many goons surrounding that sinking ship.

Buck: We got this. Do what you need to do.

KITT was about to leave his position to find Kim and I when another D79-TC Pelican crashes, though the Halo Squad are able to see its occupants ejecting

KITT: Ouch!! Another Pelican down. I better get to TF2014 and his friend before they sink to the bottom.

By the time the ship was hit

KITT: TF2014 Hang on. I'm coming. Just stay alive, and get out of the bridge ASAP!!

Me: Roger!! Kim, we gotta go, now!!

By the time the ship is tilting towards the port side, KITT uses grappling hook to secure itself onto the sinking ship

KITT: I hope I am not too late! Get in!

Both of us enter KITT before the aircraft carrier tilts to a 45 degree angle and KITT jumps back onto the docks just in time

Me: Stay where you are, KITT. I wanna shred these goons.

KITT: Not this again. Let me switch to attack mode first.

After KITT switches to attack mode, Kim and I use KITT's M249s to eliminate all the goons that were surrounding the sinking carrier

Me: Don't even think about harming my friend here, mofos!! (As KITT switches back to normal mode as soon as we have eliminated all the goons

KITT: We gotta get back to the Halo Squad and see how they are doing.

(KITT arrives as soon as Linda finished her sentence and a VVS F-15 crashes into a destroyed hangar)

Spartans in Pelican #402: Okay, we are in position. We better look out for VVS goons. They are not going to be happy about us screwing up the last command center.

Spartans in Sparrowhawk #883: They are definitely not pleased, especially after the 8th generation KITT demolished their last HQ. Any idea what aircraft they would be using?

(For simplicity sake, I will only mention the type of UNSC gunship, omitting the occupants)

Pelican #445: They are not so much of our concern, since those fiends would take care pf them, hostile or not. But just look out for Mig-21s, Mi-24s, F-15s, UH1Y-Venoms and Type-29 Vampires.

Sparrowhawk #212: Type-29s? I thought the only Covenant forces that are left following the demise of Cortana are non-hostile?

Sparrowhawk #553: That is because these Type 29s were stolen about a week ago. So far the Sangheilis have confirmed the theft of at least 70 of their ships.

Pelican #422: No wonder why Covenant forces are trying to ruin AspahltLand to the point not a single particle of it is left. And I got to mention that the VVS stole 82 of them. No idea how, but they were successful, and the elite Covenant forces are pissed about this.

Vulture #912: So far Covenant forces have not determined a suitable date to glass this whole city, but they will. As far as we know, the VVS is one of them most evil organisations, but I never expected such a heinous organisation to contain a bunch of idiots who even think of pulling off such an act.

Vulture #656: I know right? Stealing a Covenant ship would go down as one of the most moronic acts ever done by tyrants like the VVS.

Pelican #493: And can we keep the conversations for next time? I sense a lot of readings on my radar.

Sparrowhawk #553. I hear you. I am sensing reading on my six.

Pelican #402: Let me rotate and see.... of course it is the VVS. Not sure when will we have to shoot down the stolen Type-29 Vampires, but right now we have UH1Y Venoms and Mig-21s coming. Get ready!!

Sparrowhawk #553: Not just the Migs and the Venoms it seems. Watch out for Type-29, F-15s and Mi-24s!!

Pelican #493: All Pelican units, deal with the Mi-24s and UH1Y-Venoms!! Let the Sparrowhawks and Vultures target the faster VVS units!!

Vulture #591: Copy that!! Keep these guys out of the harbor while our allies do their work!!

Pelican #468: Taste my GAU-53, nub!! while fighting against a UH1Y Venom

Sparrowhawk #098: Having trouble here!! These F-15s are ganging up on me!!

Sparrowhawk #883: (attacking two VVS F-15s with its M6 Spartan Lasers) I'll cover you!!

Vulture #656: Come here, thieves!! (While chasing down two of the stolen Type-29 Vampires)

Sparrowhawk #345: Pelican #468!! ACTIVATE EVASIVE MANUOVERS NOW!!

Pelican #468: Say again? Sparrow #345??

Sparrowhawk #345: Sparrow #345 to Pelican #468, activate evasive manuovers now!!

Pelican #468: 10-4. (While evading a missile fired by a VVS Mi-24 by a few millimeters) That was close!!

Pelican #422: Try eating this, crackhead!! (While firing GAU-53s towards the Mi-24 that nearly hit Pelican #468)

Vulture #912: Those VVS choppers don't stand a chance. But beware of the Type-29 Vampires, Mig-21s and F-15s!!

A Type-29 Vampire shot down Pelican #402, before being shot down by Vulture #110

Pelican #402: Pelican #402 is declaring Pan Pan Pan, we have suffered moderate damage due to the Vampire!!

Vulture #110: We saw that. Can you stay airborne??

Pelican #402: Heavy damage to the port side, but we can ro- one of its engines got hit by another stolen Type-29 Vampire Mayday, Mayday!! We need to eject!!

Pelican #468: Copied, #402 is going down!! Keep these scumbags away from #402 as they eject!!

Two Sparrowhawks shoot down some UH1Y Venoms and F-15s that are targeting the crippled Pelican #402, buying time for the occupants to eject, with the crippled Pelican crashing onto two VVS AF10s on the ground below

Vulture #591: Pelican #402's occupants successfully ejected!! Resume dogfight!!

Pelican #445 shoots down more Mi-24s and UH1Y Venoms when 9 Type-29 Vampires are chasing down Vulture #110

Vulture #110: Mayday!! Mayday!! Vulture #110 is having 9 Vampires behind!!

Pelican #422: We'll cover you!!

The four Pelicans are chasing down the 9 Type-29 Vampires when a few Type-31 Seraphs shoot down 6 of the Vampires

Vulture #591: Looks like some allied Covenant forces have arrived!!

Sparrowhawk #098: Vulture #591!! Vulture #591!! BEHIND YOU!!!

Vulture #591 was hit by the other three Type-29 Vampires with their Plasma Cannons, severely damaging one of its engines

Vulture #591: Not good, not looking good...

Vulture #206 and Vulture #110 eliminate some approaching Mig-21s while the Seraphs eliminate the three Vampires that downed Vulture #591

Pelican #445: Vulture #591, say your status??

Vulture #591: We have just lost an engine and we need an emergency landing!!

Pelican #445: Just make sure you do not land near the VVS command centers and you should be fine!!

Just as Pelican #445 finished sending its transmission, Pelican #422 lost both engines after a Mig-21 shot out both engines

Pelican #422: Are you kidding me?? How did we lost to a effing Mig??

Seraph #S48V: (Pelican #422, eject!! EJECT!!)

Pelican #422's occupants ejected before their Pelican crashes onto a VVS battleship, disabling its weapons and starting a massive fire on board the battleship

Seraph #S82B: (How many more enemies left?)

Seraph #S36E: (3 more stolen Vampire ships, 5 more F-15s, 2 more Mig-21s. All UH1Ys and Mi-24s are down.)

Seraph #S48V: (Copied. We will search for them remaining stolen ships when this party's over.)

Pelican #468: 10-4.

All hostile aircraft were eliminated by the remaining Pelicans, Vultures, Sparrowhawks and the 6 Seraphs by 1928 hours

Sparrowhawk #212: Any news regarding the crew of the downed Pelicans and Vulture?

Pelican #445: All troops on board the crippled ships ejected to safety, but the three ships were written off.

Vulture #110: This is the first time we ever lost a few ships since our truce with the Covenants and Forerunners. At least, Vincent lost a lot more aircraft.

The Seraphs depart from the ruins of the harbor to search for all stolen Type-29s that were not used during the dogfight

John-117: Looks like there are a lot of fiends within this harbor. I never thought we would ever return to AsphaltLand, but banging up VVS equipment would be an interesting way to celebrate the demise of Cortana.

P1 Boy: Definitely some good news here. This will be the final time I would be going back to AsphaltLand, but I agree, watching the VVS go broke is awesome.

John-117: This will definitely be the last time, even after the whole VVS is terminated. This whole place would eventually go down.

P1 Boy: I do agree, but is there a reason this whole city is going to be reduced to nothing?

Fred-104: All thanks to the VVS having the guts to steal Covenant gunships, and Covenant troops are planning to glass AsphaltLand. Also, some fiends from the Fiend World are about to infest AsphaltLand.

Linda-058: Well, we better hope that TF2014, Azelfland and R8 Tyke get to evacuate to safety.

Fred-104: I am not sure about Azelfland, but TF2014 and R8 Tyke would likely be leaving within a month or two. Ironically, the latter two need the assistance of Ford GTs to make their way to their getaway vehicles.

P1 Boy: Fords? I thought TF2014 chartered a Northwest Airlines A330? For R8 Tyke, I do understand.

John-117: Both Fords were modified vehicles. For R8 Tyke, his Ford GT has been modified to a Ford FIA GT1, which is almost done with helping R8 Tyke finish his McLaren Senna. As for TF2014, you did see him and his girl in a 2017 Ford GT, right?

P1 Boy: Yes, but what is the significance of that car?

Fred-104: The Ford GT that TF2014 is using is not a regular Ford. That is actually a Knight Industries vehicle.

P1 Boy: Knight Industries.... I get it. Did KITT suddenly decided to use a Ford GT for its hull?

Kelly-087: KITT did that to slip through AsphaltLand.

Fred-104: And with KITT, TF2014 can finally close his garage door from AsphaltLand. He is still trying to retrieve both Koenigseggs and the Infiniti though.

P1 Boy: (pulling out an Incendiary Gun and an M739 SAW) At least I know that TF2014 is now about to clear this maze of death. All conversations aside, I am getting readings on my radar.

John-117: (pulling out his Hybrid BR85N and MA5D) Of course we are getting readings. With TF2014, Kim and KITT, along with the allied fiends- the Chocobos, Cactuars and Tonberries monkey-wrenching this harbor, which is the only surviving command unit of the VVS, the VVS won't just turn a blind eye.

Fred-104: (checking his M6H2 Magnum, M395B DMR and ARC-920) Expect some goons in AF10s, Centenarios and 9FF VMAXes soon. At the moment, the arriving goons are using Mi-24s, UH1Y Venoms, Mig-21s, McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagles and stolen Type-29 Vampires. Make sure we check our weaponary before they come.

Linda-058: (loading her Nornfang SRS99-S5) Unfortunately Fred, the VVS gang cars are not too far behind the air units. Get lock and loaded!!

Kelly-087: (loading her Z-750 Binary Rifle, M45 Shotgun and MA5D) Incoming 9FFs. I hope you are all ready.

Edward Buck: (loading his MA5D while Linda and Fred look for vantage points) Ever since we took P1 Boy back to the Infinity, we always hear Vivendi getting screwed. But WATCHING them getting screwed up close would mean more fun.

P1 Boy: 5 9FF VMAXes coming. Get ready.

P1 Boy and the Halo Squad aim their crosshairs at the incoming 9FFs

John-117: Prepare to engage!!

All 5 9FFs were destroyed by the ammunation from the Incendiary Gun, Nornfang, MA5D, M395B and M45 that were repeatedly fired at them

Linda-058: We are not clear yet. More 9FFs.

Linda and Fred start firing at the occupants of the incoming 9FFs

Fred-104: Looks like these goons are not going to retreat.

Some VVS 9FFs stop by the entrance to the harbor, with the goons exiting their vehicles and pull out their Plasma Repeaters, Lightrifles, KRISS Vectors, TAR-21s and MA5K Carbines

Kelly-087: They know we are here.

P1 Boy: Not too much of a problem for me.

P1 Boy, Kelly-087 and Buck destroy the 9FFs and kill the goons with their M739, Z-750 and MA5D respectively just as some AF10s start pulling into the harbor, with the AF10 occupants stopping to deal with the Halo Squad while the 9FFs proceed to stop Kim and myself, who are busy wrecking the boats docked at the harbor

Fred-104: (shooting the 9FFs) Looks like they are heading for TF2014 and Kim.

John-117: They have stuff like T-58s, HGL Hydra Launchers, Z-750s, BR85s and some M395Bs, right? Should not be a problem.

P1 Boy: (while incinerating some VVS goons who were using AF10s) Not a problem, but TF2014 would prefer his M762 assault rifle, when given the chance.

Fred-104: Not surprising to me. He WILL put UNSC-supplied weapons to use, but his M762 performs similarly to the MA5 series of assault rifles, so he should be fine. (Breaking the fourth wall) Looks like he is too comfortable with weapons featured in PUBG, it seems.

John-117: Yeah, but he knows when to prioritise UNSC weapons. (At this point, some BR85 and Z-750 gunshots were heard from one of the ships)

Fred-104: Not surprising because he is still adapting to UNSC weapons, but yeah. I hear ya- (seeing Pelican #402 crash onto two VVS AF10s) Bad news guys, we lost a UNSC gunship.

Linda-058: (after killing 8 goons by headshots with her Nornfang) Say again?

Fred-104: Linda, we lost a Pelican!!

Kelly-087: (seeing the flaming wrecks of Pelican #402 and the two AF10s) Never thought we would ever lose a UNSC ship since we had a truce with the Forerunners and Covenants!!

P1 Boy: (while attacking some goons with his M739 SAW) Careful now!! Heavily armed goons in Centenarios are coming!!

Linda-058: We can only hope they don't reach TF2014.

Vulture #591 crashes into a hangar where some unused F-15s are parked in as soon as Linda has finished speaking

Buck: Oh no, not another UNSC gunship!! (With some downed Mi-24s and Type-29 Vampires falling to their doom during his speech)

John-117: I doubt that they would reach him in large numbers. The other two entrances are destroyed by Tonberries that are looking after TF2014 and his girl- (Sees a VVS goon shoot KITT with a Heartseeker, which deflects off KITT's hull and hits an incoming VVS Centenario) VVS suffering indirect friendly fire!!

P1 Boy: I wonder how did KITT withstand a direct hit, but that's amazing!!

Fred-104: KITT's hull is able to withstand any kind of impact, that's a bonus!!

KITT: You take care of these goons. I will distract them for you.

KITT stops in front of the entrance to the harbor, thus blocking the goons from proceeding to the Halo Squad

VVS goon 30: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO ENCOUNTER THAT CAR??!! IT'S LIKE CANCER TO US!!

P1 Boy: Yeah, cancer. And we are here to accelerate your demise.

A massive pile up of VVS 9FFs, AF10s and Centenarios occurs at the entrance which is blocked by KITT, with the Halo Squad destroying the cars after they collided

KITT: Can anyone check if TF2014 and his girl are okay?

Linda-058: (using her Nornfang's scope to monitor a sinking ship) I am watching... as far as I know, I heard the sound of a Groza, BR85, Z-750, M395B, M363, TAR-21, Z-390, PLasma Pistol, Plasma Repeater, M45D, M762 and ARC-920 from the boats. I cannot tell if they are okay.

P1 Boy: As long as you hear the BR85, M762, ARC-920 and Groza, you know they are okay.

John-117: Yeah, the VVS has no BR85s and ARC-920s in their possession. The M762 is TF2014's favourite rifle, and his girl tends to use a Groza if she could not reload her BR85 and Binary Rifle in time. So yeah, the minute you hear a BR85 and ARC-920, you know they are okay.

KITT: Focus on the entrance, I need to bring TF2014 and Kim out of that boat. There are too many goons surrounding that sinking ship.

Buck: We got this. Do what you need to do.

KITT was about to leave his position to find Kim and I when another D79-TC Pelican crashes, though the Halo Squad are able to see its occupants ejecting

P1 Boy: May I know how could our advanced Pelican lose to a Mig-21?

John-117: P1 Boy? Say again?

P1 Boy: I saw one of our Pelicans getting shot down by a VVS-owned Mig-21. I am not sure about the other two downed ships, but I can confirm that Pelican #422's occupants ejected safely.

John-117: That's a little ridiculous. At least we know they are fine.

Fred-104: Too bad KITT had to leave for TF2014. Now we are having swarms of 9FFs and Centenarios.

The Halo Squad eliminate the goons before they could stop; at this point, the occupants of Pelican #402 are seen swimming to shore; about the same time, KITT took Kim and myself out of the sinking battleship

Kelly-087: Pelican #402's troops are safe and sound.

Linda-058: What about the troops of the downed Vulture?? (With a VVS F-15 crashing into the same spot where AC-220 Vulture crashed, which only increased the size of the fire in that hangar; KITT arrives at this point)

KITT: I can tell that they also ejected safely, but I need to find their whereabouts.

P1 Boy: Thankfully TF2014 and Kim managed to escape from that boat!!

Me: Yeah, that was a close call. Looks like those goons are fully intent to make sure I drown, without caring about their lives- (I see a VVS AF10 about to storm into the harbor) STAND BACK!! (whie loading my Z-750 Binary Rifle)

Linda-058: I HEAR YA!! (As she fires her Normfang towards the driver of the AF10, which hits the driver in the head at approximately the same time I shot the tyre of the AF10, causing it to skid into the water)

Me: Anymore coming??

P1 Boy: I think that is the last of them for now.

KITT: Coast clear, for now. Also, the occupants of the downed AC-220 Vulture survived. (With Pelican #445 picking up the occupants of the downed Vulture from the water)

Kimberley: Luckily the UNSC troops of the downed ships survived!! And of course, Vincent is not happy about thi- (seeing Vincent fleeing the harbor in his Centenario) GET BACK HERE YOU VILLAIN!! (While firing ARC-920 projectiles towards Vincent's car after attaching an ELCAN Specter 1.5-6x Scope to it)

P1 Boy: Wait. Are you using the railgun as a sniper rifle?

Fred-104: The Misriah Armory has a conversion kit to convert existing ARC-920s into DMRs since late 2018.

P1 Boy: That's wild.

Kimberley: I still prefer my Accuracy Intl. AWM, but I don't mind using a Railgun as a DMR if I am out of M395B rounds or Binary Rifle projectiles...

Me: Kim just enjoys using sniper rifles, so don't be surprised to find a lot of them in her cupboard, including her AWM, the Z-750 Binary Rifle, the Barret M82 and etc.

P1 Boy: Well, when you guys return home, please show me the collection of sniper rifles your girl has.

John-117: I hope Vincent hits a dead end, since we won't be able to catch him for today.

Buck: His time would soon come.

Me: We're here. The place where new vehicles are stored after being imported before being released via events.

Kimberley: This place would stop swallowing cars as soon as AsphaltLand crumbles to nothing, but we are going to accelerate the demise of this place.

Me: I am thinking so. Screw this place, for ruining cars with some dreaded upgrade costs that a lot of people despise. KITT's dignity would have been tarnished badly if they brought in Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams into here. Glad KITT decided to improvise.

Kimberley: Once we are done, should we monkey-wrench their aircraft carriers and battleships?

Me: Yes, and put surface-to-air missiles on our demolition list. You get working on all the equipment in here, I will look out for goons.

Kimberley: What about these monsters?

Me: Some non-hostile Fiends, such as Chocobos, Cactuars and Tonberries would watch our backs, so only the VVS goons are the real concern. Enough chatting, let's put Abelion Cooperation and Vivendi out of business!

6 minutes later

Kimberley: Well, bad news. All F-15s have left the harbor.

Me: Screw these jets. The UNSC will take care of them with Pelican, Vulture and Sparrowhawk gunships. We just need to take care of the boats.

Kimberley: Let's go!!

Both of us take a two minute walk to one of the aircraft carriers as soon as the vehicle import area crumbles inward

Me: That ship is not anywhere within our reach. Got those M363s ready??

Kimberley: Yeah, but I would try drilling holes onto its hull with the ARC-920. You get working with the M363.

Me: Copied.

The aircraft carrier close to the destroyed vehicle import area sinks after getting bombarded by explosives and projectiles

Me: This boat is out!! How many more?

Kimberley: 3 more ships to take out, one with SAM sites- (as a Mig-21 crashes onto the mounted weapons of one of the battleships, disabling them) actually, make it two. (When a Pelican dodged a shot from a Vampire, which hit the ship, causing it to sink)

Me: Looks like we got to go up close and personal. (As some 9FFs approach us) Time to make things go ugly!!

KITT: KITT to TF2014. Have you finished what you are doing?

Me: Not yet, but almost. Two boats left, but there are a lot of goons.

KITT: 10-4. I am heading to where the Halo Squad is at.

Me: Copied. As soon as the allied fiends and the Halo Squad leave, it's time to close my garage doors.

KITT: I gotcha. I will be plotting a waypoint to your ruined garage in the meantime. KITT out, till we regroup.

Me: TF2014 out.

We destroy any VVS gang cars that approach us with the use of our T-58 LAAWs, while alternating to Hybrid BR85Ns to deal with goons that survive the blast

Me: Bunch of nincompoops. Which ship should we deal with first??

Kimberley: Deal with the other battleship first, they could wreck UNSC gunships if they know what they are doing!

Me: They cannot shoot down those gunships since they aim like Stormtroopers, or worse. But yeah, we better take the ship down.

Suddenly, some VVS Centenarios surround the two of us, who are forced to enter the other aircraft carrier

Me: Not looking good, we better get going from inside out.

VVS goons: STOP THERE YOU TRESSPASSERS!!!

Me: The ship seems to be occupied, but GO!!

The two of us use our BR85s, ARC-920s, Z-750 Binary Rifles, T-58 LAAWs, M395Bs, M762 and Groza to fend ourselves from the VVS goons who were either inside the aircraft carrier or approached the carrier

Kimberley: How many of them are here??

Me: I have no idea, but there would be a lot of them!! You handle the goons who used the cars, while I settle the goons who were on the boat!!

Kimberley: On it!!

I try to shoot one of the goons with my Binary Rifle but he missed the shot, with the projectiles hitting the battleship directly behind it, tearing a hole on the port side, close to the starboard

Me: That's too many of them!! You try to get to the other ship!!

Kimberley: Say again??

Me: You know what, forget it. Fend off these goons for me!!

Kimberley: You mean??

Me: I have intentions to blow the other ship from here!! (While pulling out some M67 Frag Grenades and my M363 RPD Sticky Detonator)

Kimberley: It's getting heavy here!!

Me: Just get to the control deck!!

I toss some frag grenades towards the goons

Me: Fall back, Kim!! I dumped a nade!!

Kimberley: Fall back? (Just as she sees a frag grenade land in the middle of the goons) 10-4!!

Kim manages to get behind me as the goons get killed by the grenade blast

Me: Get to the control deck, quick!!

Kimberley: Control deck??

Me: Just so we can get a vantage point to kill anyone on the battleship.

The both of us head for the control deck of the aircraft carrier, killing the goons in the bridge of the aircraft carrier

Me: No jets here?? Enough time to focus on that ship. Fire in the hole!!

I toss an M67 Frag Grenade from the bridge of the aircraft carrier onto the deck of the battleship, killing the goons on the deck and damaging that portion of the boat

VVS goons on the battleship: WE HAVE INTRUDERS!! I REPEAT, WE HAVE INTRUDERS ON THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER!!

Me: You deal with the other ship, while I kill the goons who aare coming over!!

Kimberley: I gotcha!!!

Me: STEP BACK OR DIE, LOSERS!!

I use my M762 to kill any goons that are going to the deck to shoot the bridge of the aircraft carrier, while Kim uses her M363 to blow the hull of the battleship to sink it

Kimberley: TASTE MAGNETIC BOMBS, SUCKERS!!!

Me: Once we are done with the other ship, we get rid of this one-

Kimberley: Uh oh. We're surrounded!!

Me: (seeing some goons surrounding the aircraft carrier) Are you done with sinking the battleship yet?

Kimberley: Almost-

A Type-29 Vampire tears a large hole on the side of the aircraft carrier, causing it to sink fast

Kimberley: That's it, we're done.

Me: Not so. You focus on the goons escaping from the battleship, while I get in touch with KITT.

Kimberley: I got- (screams as she saw a Heartseeker charge barreling into the bridge and ducks in time) Never mind, we plan our escape.

KITT: TF2014 Hang on. I'm coming. Just stay alive, and get out of the bridge ASAP!!

Me: Roger!! Kim, we gotta go, now!!

Kimberley: (holstering her M363 and pulling out her Groza) I got this!!

Both of us managed to leave the bridge just as it gets bombarded by Heartseeker charges fired by VVS goons

Me: Just get to the starboard, this thing is tilting to the port side!!

Kimberley: But there are too many goons!!

Me: And there's KITT to the rescue!! (As KITT uses its grappling hook to secure itself to the sinking aircraft carrier)

KITT: I hope I am not too late! Get in!

Both of us enter KITT before the aircraft carrier tilts to a 45 degree angle and KITT jumps back onto the docks just in time

Me: Stay where you are, KITT. I wanna shred these goons.

KITT: Not this again. Let me switch to attack mode first.

After KITT switches to attack mode, Kim and I use KITT's M249s to eliminate all the goons that were surrounding the sinking carrier

Me: Don't even think about harming my friend here, mofos!! (As KITT switches back to normal mode as soon as we have eliminated all the goons

KITT: We gotta get back to the Halo Squad and see how they are doing.

(KITT arrives as soon as Linda finished her sentence and a VVS F-15 crashes into a destroyed hangar)

KITT: I can tell that they also ejected safely, but I need to find their whereabouts.

P1 Boy: Thankfully TF2014 and Kim managed to escape from that boat!!

Me: Yeah, that was a close call. Looks like those goons are fully intent to make sure I drown, without caring about their lives- (I see a VVS AF10 about to storm into the harbor) STAND BACK!! (whie loading my Z-750 Binary Rifle)

Linda-058: I HEAR YA!! (As she fires her Normfang towards the driver of the AF10, which hits the driver in the head at approximately the same time I shot the tyre of the AF10, causing it to skid into the water)

Me: Anymore coming??

P1 Boy: I think that is the last of them for now.

KITT: Coast clear, for now. Also, the occupants of the downed AC-220 Vulture survived. (With Pelican #445 picking up the occupants of the downed Vulture from the water)

Kimberley: Luckily the UNSC troops of the downed ships survived!! And of course, Vincent is not happy about thi- (seeing Vincent fleeing the harbor in his Centenario) GET BACK HERE YOU VILLAIN!! (While firing ARC-920 projectiles towards Vincent's car after attaching an ELCAN Specter 1.5-6x Scope to it)

P1 Boy: Wait. Are you using the railgun as a sniper rifle?

Fred-104: The Misriah Armory has a conversion kit to convert existing ARC-920s into DMRs since late 2018.

P1 Boy: That's wild.

P1 Boy: Well, when you guys return home, please show me the collection of sniper rifles your girl has.

John-117: I hope Vincent hits a dead end, since we won't be able to catch him for today.

Buck: His time would soon come.

Meeting being dispersed after the harbor is in total ruins

Just by the entrance, when the harbor is left in ruins, 1930 hours

The Cactuar-Chocobo-Tonberry squadron leaves the VVS HQ and visits me; I just so happen to finish wrecking some VVS stuff and was about to head for the ruins of my Barcelona garage to close the portal

Chocobo: Kweh! (The VVS will fall apart today! We offered our helping hands.)

Cactuar: (A gift from the UNSC. Take this.)

The Cactuar gives me a white/red Type-53 PBL Plasma Caster named "White Scar"

Cactuar: (It fires modified plasma bolts with Subanese crystal in them. Charging them up can also allow you to set up an 8-second booby trap.)

Tonberry: (We came here and destroyed the VVS garage save for Vincent's Lambo.)

Me: Oh, nice. And thank you for the new weapon. Now, if you would kindly let me discuss my plans.

virtually all of AsphaltLand is now infested with fiends from all over Spira and the Fiend World, including Elder Drakes, Insect Matriarchs, Critical Bugs, Mega Tonberries, Black Elementals, Tindalos Lupines, and the Eos daemon Melusine

Chocobo: Kweh, kweh! (There are so many fiends here now.)

Cactuar: (The Fiend World must have linked itself to this universe and the other one. Also, the Koenigsegg Regera R&D is coming up and it's not going to be fun at all. The car is blocked off by 160 Advanced Tech cards. Anyways, we'll go.)

Me: That's just fantastic.

the Cactuar, Chocobo, and Tonberry leave via a slipspace portal to Sanghelios

Me: Till we meet again. Your help in monkey-wrenching these A-holes would be remembered.

P1 Boy: Vincent's syndicate won't last long, after our monkey-wrenching towards their remaining command center.

Fred-104: Yet, Vincent seemed to have pulled off their usual tricks with the Regeras. It is rumored that the Regeras are blocked off with absurd Advanced Tech requirements. And just like what the non-hostile Fiends said, we are leaving now.

Me: I got this. With Vincent's last command center down, I should be able to isolate my garage from AsphaltLand when I find the switch.

John-117: Good luck with that. And how many cars left on your wishlist before you permanently mark the end of your operations in the racing scene??

Me: Four cars left. Both Koenigseggs, the Infiniti and a Mosler.

P1 Boy, the Halo Squad and the UNSC troops leave the dilapidated harbor with the surviving gunships, while Kim and myself enter KITT for the journey to the destroyed garage

KITT: I never thought I would have to head for some ruins. But since I have did that with the other Knight Industries chassises, let's go.

Me: I'll drive this time.

KITT: Whatever. Do you want me to select Pursuit Mode??

Me: Nah, Normal Mode would suffice. Pursuit Mode looks exactly like Attack Mode, albeit without the guns, so Pursuit Mode would be a whistleblower.

KITT: (switching to normal mode) Maybe, but you do realise that the Vivendi goons can check my license plate and wheel ornaments to distinguish between me and a normal Ford GT?

Me: Yeah, but in normal mode we would not have so much whistleblowers if we keep a low profile.

I take control of KITT and head to the destroyed garage, with Kim looking out for more goons

The trip to the ruins of my original garage

2024 hours; Grand Height Expressway

KITT: I seriously don't recommend using the Grand Height Expressway. Look at all these buildings, some of them have been burning for more than 6 days. Who knows this road can collapse.

Me: Well, maybe you are right. I have no idea why I thought your ability to Turbo Boost over these gaps would counter the collapsing roads.

KITT: Well, I don't think that misusing my Turbo Boost ability is a good idea after all. Just try to find a way off this highway, or any road that goes through buildings, for that matter.

Kimberley: Dude, KITT's right. Even with Turbo Boost, I doubt that we can clear gaps that are more than three city blocks long.

Me: Yeah, yeah. I will find a way down.

KITT: So far the whole coast is clear. That is a good sign for now. The bad news is the VVS are probably doing their rigging of the Regera R&D.

Me: They can rig the Regera R&D for all I care. I am not going though those heinous tests, but rather, I am going to the storage area and seize the car.

Kimberley: You better bring your resources over, in case the VVS chases you down. Try running from fully upgraded Centenarios with a stock Regera, that is absolutely not fun at all.

Me: Fair enough. Anyway, how long more do we reach the fork road that takes us away from the Grand Height Expressway? I mean in terms of minutes, since the fork is 50 miles from my current location, based on the GPS.

KITT: About 15 minutes, seeing how the highway is nearly clear of traffic, not including wrecked cars.

Me: 15 minutes. Then 2 minutes to get down to ground level, and at least 20 minutes before we reach the ruins of my Barcelona garage, and initiate the beginning of my non-motorsport life. Motorsports seem to make me stressed more than giving enjoyment.

KITT: I am not trying to get you back down that path, but I got to point out that there may be a time when motorsport goes back on its original lane.

Me: By that time, my schedule would be so packed up, leaving me no time to resume motorsport. F*** all those disciplies regarding a career that I am going to dump into the coast of Delaware, like the Redbirds' final moments.

Kimberley: Relax, relax. I know how scarred you feel when you found out that the reality of your career when you were trying to fend off those bullies a decade ago, but relax.

KITT: She's right. Just do what you need to do. You also have to stop looking back.

Me: Maybe, but I really cannot relax until I have taken off. I just hope it starts raining as soon as possible.

KITT: Well, you will hope it starts raining before early September, then. The current weather forecast indicates that there will be no rain anytime soon.

Me: Even more so when N801NW will not be able to pick us up until early September, and all other aircraft are not going near AsphaltLand's airspace. That would give my friends the negative perception that I was trash talking all this while.

KITT: I will handle the situation. That way, you can rescue the Mosler MT900 Super GT, Koenigsegg Regera, Infiniti Q60 Project Black-S and Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita from getting destroyed as soon as AsphaltLand is in its final moments, without any flak from your friends. There are too many fiends as well within AsphaltLand, so basically the whole place is getting damaged further. I don't think that the fiends would destroy AsphaltLand for the time being, since the Cactuars, Chocobos and Tonberries have communicated with the UNSC, and are thus trying to make sure your plane can reach AsphaltLand and wait for you.

Kimberley: It's fascinating how some of these monsters are willing to team up with guardians!

KITT: There are some non-hostile fiends as well apart from these three, and they are making sure that the hostile Fiends do not reach AsphaltLand until all civilians have left. That is ample time for TF2014 to rescue the remaining four cars after the isolation of his garage. The rescue of the four cars are also vital to ensure that Vivendi does not get to make any money from these cars, which prevents the syndicate from purchasing upgrades to their existing fleet and equipment.

Me: Looks like I can isolate my garage, rescue the remaining four cars, AND escape from AsphaltLand, if it all goes well. One stone, three birds.

Kimberley: Four birds, if you include the fact that your friends don't mind you going for the last four cars, and if KITT successfully convinces them.

Me: Maybe. Now we better look out for goons that diverted from seizing the Regeras and put KITT within their crosshairs.

Kimberley: Who knows there will be, but I am not surprised if that happens.

Me: I won't be surprised either, especially after the San Diego Harbor track, aka the track where Vincent's income comes from, has been wrecked in every corner.

KITT: I do not see any VVS gang cars either, but you better be on guard.

Me: The minute we discover the portal switch, you work on it, Kim. I will deal with the new weapon that was given by a Cactuar on behalf of the UNSC.

Kimberley: Maybe, but who knows if you can handle the switch better. But yeah, the new weapon is kind of valuable. What is it again?

Me: A Type-53 Plasma Caster, or PBL for easy reference. Due to its livery and the fact that it is an improved version over most PBLs, this weapon is nicknamed the "White Scar". And nope, don't confuse it with my FN SCAR-L, both weapons have nothing in common apart from the white, gray and red paintjob both weapons have. Definitely valuable if I wanna save my nades for situations where throwables are critical.

Gunfighting at the garage and triggering the switch

The ruins of my Barcelona garage, 2203 hours

KITT: Definitely a strategic location to place your garage, it seems. Too bad it was torched in the first run.

Me: And even worse, I wished the torched garage would be a message to me that the reality of motorsport in AsphaltLand totally contradicts the expectations.

KITT: Just get working on what you need to do. I'll cover you.

Kim and I exit KITT while wielding the Type-53 PBL, Hybrid BR85N, OTs-14 Groza, Z-750 Binary Rifle, Z-390 Heartseeker Incineration Cannon, M762 and a H&K MP5K, while KITT switches to attack mode and aims both M249 LMGs towards the entrance of the ruined garage to eliminate any goons that arrive

Kimberley: By the way, do you have a copy of the blueprint of the former PETA bunker before this place was converted into a garage?

Me: Saved in my phone while we were waiting for Margaret and Douglas to rescue the Continental GT3 from going down with this whole city.

Kimberley: By the way, speaking of rescuing cars, did your other friends get the message of your last step before you can leave for good?

KITT: I have sent the transmission to your other classmates, and fortunately for you, half of them do agree to allow you to obtain the remaining four cars, as long as you leave AsphaltLand for real.

Me: Thank you so much, KITT. And I will try to keep my promise to them. And before the goons come, can you scan the garage ruins for any hidden passages that have been blocked off when this place has been converted?

KITT: There are four basements within this place, but two have been blocked off. The lowest one has been blocked when some Gameloft officials converted this place into your garage, and the second lowest one hass been blocked off by debris when this place was torched by Vivendi.

Me: Well.... time to put the Z-390 and PBL to good use. Let's go!!

KITT: While I will stay up here and cover you. Just beware of claustrophobia when entering the narrow, enclosed compartment where the switch is at.

Kimberley: Got any flashlights available?

Me: Nope, we have to rely on the laser pointer on the Binary Rifles to see where we are going.

Kimberley: Probably a good idea. Too bad we cannot bring KITT down here to illuminate this ruined place.

Me: There are just too many wrecked cars, and a lot of debris here. KITT would be unable to navigate the wreckage without having to move awkwardly. Not to mention that KITT would have to alert us regarding any incoming goons.

Kimberley: We better not waste anymore time, and get cracking.

The two of us use the spiral staircase to reach the portal switch, but have to make an alternative plan since Basements 3 and 4 have been blocked off

Kimberley: It's so dark down here.

Me: Of course it is. Don't expect anything in this garage to remain intact.

Kimberley: Maybe. Any idea how to get down there fast?

Me: Stand back. (while charging my 'White Scar' to create a hole on the ground)

Kimberley: You cannot be serious...

Me: I have to be serious. Now TAKE COVER!!! (the charged shot detonates at this point)

Kimberley: What's going on?

Me: Just taking advantage of the 'White Scar's' timed plasma charge to access the lower floors. We have a ramp heading to the third basement now.

Kimberley: Yeah.... definitely a smart move. I wonder if there are any goons coming here?

Me: You better contact KITT to find out.

The both of us enter the third basement via the ramp created by the detonation of the timed plasma charge, and attempt to find a way down to the fourth basement

Me: Well, we have searched the whole basement, and yet we could not find the stairs to the fourth basement.

Kimberley: That is because the fourth basement has been blocked off. I won't be surprised that the entire staircase has been demolished as well.

Me: Another round of blowing things up, then. Wait by the ramp.

I use a Z-390 Heartseeker Incineration Cannon to blow up sections of the basement walls, with the northeast corner of the wall revealing the sealed flight of stairs to the lowest basement

Kimberley: Never knew the stairs to the lowest basement is still there.

Me: The strangest part is the lowest basement still has light coming out of it. I thought the destruction of the entire garage would disable the lighting down here?

KITT: Are you done with disabling the portal and destroying the switch?

Me: Not yet, since we have just blasted our way into the lowest basement, which somehow has a faint light coming from it.

KITT: That would likely be the portal switch lighting, based on my scanning of the basement. And make sure you disable it now, so that we can get out of here without any firefight.

Me: Without any firefight... F it. Can you prevent these idiots from coming down here??

KITT: I have managed to block the VVS cars, but I don't think they are stopping. Switch off the portal, destroy the switch, and leave the garage ASAP.

Kimberley: Oh, just great.

Me: You get working on the switch, while I watch your back. We have no idea what the goons are thinking of. (while loading my M762 and BR85N)

Kimberley: I got this. You watch my back while I get rid of that stuff.

Some goons reached the second basement of the garage; I was hiding under the ramp in the third basement at that time, when I started hearing the firing sound of the M249s

Me: Come to papa, morons.

Vivendi goon 49: Search this whole place. TrashF****r left his car here, so he and his tasteless whore should not be far.

Both goons descended via the ramp and are able to head to the fourth basement when I killed them with my M762 as soon as they are about to use the stairs

Me: Don't even think about foiling my plans!! How long more, Kim?

Kimberley: I have just got started!!

Me: I wonder how did they manage to rig a large number of Regeras with absurd pro kits this fast?? Looks like I have to do a bit of fishing. (while looting the goons for 7.62mm bullets, along with some Plasma charges and ionised tanks, as well as night vision goggles)

Kimberley: Almost there, almost there....

KITT: The switch requires a password to authorize disengagement. But don't worry about that, I have just hacked the security system of the switch. Just focus on switching it off, and-

Kimberley: And what??

KITT: ... wait for 3 minutes, then get rid of it.

Me: Just great. 3 minutes in this dark hole before we can gett out of here. That would mean, Vincent has sufficient time to capture us while we are trying to weasel our way out.

KITT: I got your back. Just stay near your girl, in case things get sour.

Me: Copied.

Kimberley: I have managed to deactivate the switch. Now we just have to stay down here for 3 minutes....

Me: Get ready. I don't know how the goons managed to bypass KITT.

Kimberley: But I am sure there would be a deathbound parade up there.

Me: I have just looted these from the goons. We definitely need these if we are leaving.

Kimberley: Yeah, we need them. (while taking one of the two pairs of night vision goggles that I took from the dead goons)

However, the goons did not come for the first two minutes

Me: Strange. I wonder if KITT successfully blocked them-

KITT: They were waiting for Vincent to come himself. Also, I saw TF2014's project manager in his Hummer H1, and some goons are bringing TF2014's rigged McLaren 600LT here. No idea how they discovered the car, but I sense a lot of bad news coming here.

Me: But it's gonna be good news if I can turn the tables around.

Kimberley: 10 seconds left. (while launching one magnetic detonator from the M363 towards the switch) I have stuffed a 15 second time bomb on the switch, so we have to get out now.

Me: 10-4. Let's get the hell out of here.

The bomb from the M363 destroys the portal switch 5 seconds after the 3 minute timer of the switch expires

Kimberley: What now?

KITT: What next? All you need to do is to head to TF2014's garage in 45 minutes before the portal gets disabled.

Me: 45 minutes to get KITT to my garage. Let's go!!

At the entrance

Me: My gosh. Time for Plan B.

Kimberley: What?

Me: You get in KITT, while I deal with them. I will regroup later.

Vincent: Still trying to protect that useless, tasteless ****e of yours, huh? You ain't taking her away until we settle this.

Me: You sure of that? KITT!!

Kimberley: What about you?

Me: I'll be fine. Now go with KITT. I will catch up later.

KITT: But TF2014-

Me: Just go, KITT!! I will keep up later!!

KITT leaves the ruined garage as I confront Vincent and his goons

Vincent: Even when you are screwed, you still think about your hopeless girlfriend, along with those idiots you studied with back during schooling age. Nice try to make sure I don't get even after Anais' death, huh?

Me: Let's be honest. You contemplated to kill my childhood friend, my classmate and their sisters. I only captured your wife to settle the score. And somehow... Anais died.

Vincent: ARE YOU TRYING TO LIE YOUR WAY OUT??!!

Me: Ah, no. I was not. And Anais was not meant to be killed, but her death should be a reminder to you, NOT TO TOUCH MY FRIENDS, you pathetic tyrant.

Vincent: Right now, let's end it here!! You race your abandoned car against me. You win, you get to go free. You lose, you have to submit to us.

Me: Whatever. I accept your challenge. When I win, it means I do not have any connection with the racing scene.

Vincent: If you think that will save your scrapegoat classmates, I tell you, the duel will NOT shield them from our radar.

Me: I knew you were going to say that. And I will not let you get anywhere near them, you twat.

Vincent: We will see about that at the finish line. Now-

Diego arrives in his Hummer H2

Vincent: Diego, what are you doing here?

Diego: I am here to handle this contract-breaking, double-crossing immigrant $#!+.

Me: Ah, here comes the project managing doofus who thinks he can blackmail me with his contracts.

Diego: I hear you, TrashF****r. You have broken countless agreements we had on that contract.

Me: Suck on that. Don't think that I don't know you arranged that contract after the destruction of the Barcelona garage, just so you could pull me further down this rabbit hole.

Diego: Trying to bring up BS, just so you could get away with it??

Me: I don't need to bring up BS when I knew you, Pholia and Jennifer were conspiring to manipulate me to further sever my relationship with my former classmates. And I am not surprised that you had the guts to manipulate me, since you did the same with R8 Tyke and P1 Boy.

Diego: YOU DESPICABLE TWAT!! WHERE ARE MY DAUGHTER AND MY WIFE??!!

Me: That is none of your business. Your f*****g syndicate had kidnapped my friends a large number of times, and even attempted to kill them. I was just trying to break even.

Vincent: This mule will only know when to clam up when we teach him manners. Guards!!

two Vivendi goons shove me into the driver's seat of my (abandoned) McLaren 600LT and tweak the doors to ensure I cannot leave the car

Vincent: Don't you think I don't know what you were up to when you dumped all my projects. You cost me a large fortune.

Me: Oh yeah?? Is that the best you got??

Diego: Boss, are you serious?? You have failed to catch this nut and his dogs countless of times!!

Vincent: Shut up, Diego. You are ranked lower than me.

Diego: Boss!! I know you are ranked higher, but do you realise that we have done the same cliches over and over, and failed?? We need newer plans!!

Vincent: I SAID, I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING!!

Diego: No, you are not. WITH ALL THE FAILS YOU HAD, VIVENDI IS ONLY GOING DOWN!!!

Vincent: ARE YOU TRYING TO TAKE LEADERSHIP AWAY FROM ME??!! YOU ARE JUST AS UNGRATEFUL AS THAT SCUM!!!

Diego: DO I LOOK LIKE I WANT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR LEADERSHIP??!! DO YOU EVEN REALISE THE BUNCH OF FAILURES WE HAD??!! DO YOU REALISED THAT THIS DOG HAS REALISED THE TRICKS OF THEIR OWNERS??!! BOSS, IF YOU CARE ABOUT VIVENDI, YOU WOULD BE MAKING NEW PLANS, RATHER THAN USING THE SAME, USELESS TRICKS!!!!

Vivendi: Just another bunch of pathetic excuses. (Turning to me) As for you, the race is simple. First one to reach the starting point of Iceland Reverse track, wins, and my aforementioned conditions apply.

Diego: If you insist on doing that same plan, then I really don't know how would Vivendi survive. We might as well let a bunch of buffoons with no experience of managing companies-

Vincent: Say all you want. I will prove you wrong.

Vincent and I set off in our respective cars

Final duel against Vincent and the destruction of both cars

The beginning of the race, 2210 hours

Me: So...... It's down to you and me, Vincent Bollore.

Vincent: You've seen the kind of tech we have in our cars. You don't stand a chance.

Me: Heh. Cheat all you want. We'll still win.

Vincent: End of the line, TrashF****r. With the tech in this car, I'll control every outcome of every race in AsphaltLand. Everyone tried to break me............ now it's my turn!

Me: Not if I can do anything about it!

Vincent: Puh-lease. Even your useless classmates know what is coming towards them. Actually, I should say that Fail-One Bot, R8 F*** and Azelfc*** had the same fate with your scrapegoats. All of your dogs just chose the wrong side of history.

Me: So much for that tech of yours Vincent. You're losing. On a side note, you would wish to retract your statement regarding my classmates.

Vincent: Not for long!

Me: You know, even during the glory days of AsphaltLand, you were an @$$#0|€ till the very end. Thanks to you being the tyrant, AsphatLand is totally screwed to the point beyond recovery. But I would say that you indirectly caused me to make choices wisely. And you have no skill to win ANY race whatsoever.

Vincent: The game was always rigged against people like you and me. Even in the racing scene, it is either you gain or you pay. I wasn't gonna let myself be some low life jerk they can own. I chose to join the winners.

Me: And i choose to fight.

Vincent: THIS is why I demolished your initial garage, TF2014. You were my ticket out of the club of losers.

Me: And now you're finally gonna pay for it!

Vincent: Getting to this race was impressive, but you never stood a chance. You are nothing more than a poor ol' ant trying to find its way to its target without any directional indications, and you have a large number of bumps before you reach the finish line.

Me: We'll see about that at the finish line.

Diego: Vincent, you told me you'd handle this. Yet here we are.

Vincent: I AM handling this!

Diego: No. I'll take care of this myself!

Vincent: What do you mean?

Diego: Congratulations, TF2014. You're on your way to beating my boss.

Me: Looks like it.

Diego: TF2014. I could use a talent like yours in Vivendi. You'll be the top racer in the world, and rich beyond your craziest imaginations.

Me: But there's a catch, right?

Diego: Ah, just a small one. You have to lose the race.

Vincent: YOU CAN'T REPLACE ME! I GAVE YOU ASPHALTLAND!

Diego: And you're gonna lose me the whole thing because of your damn vendetta!

Me: Thanks for the offer, but i'll pass. Plus, I have decided to stay out of the racing scene forever, so please find another offer.

Diego: Come on, TF2014. What do you want? Fame? Fortune? Vincent's head on a platter? Name it and it's yours.

Me: I want you to give me everything you've got. So when you lose, I'll know it's because i was better. Also, don't you ever get anywhere near my friends.

Diego: This........ is NOT over!!

Me: Yes, this is not over.... until I get to f*** you and Vincent up. (I hang up the call at this point)

5 minutes later after I wheeshed part Vincent, when he tries to slow down my car but I escaped his PIT manuover in time, causing him to skid

Me: KITT, you there?

KITT: I was trying to contact you, but you never answered.

Me: I could not answer you call when my line was occupied by two mofos in one same syndicate.

Kimberley: So glad you're okay!! Do you have any plans to get out of that car?

Me: There is a weak spot on the rear window of the car. All KITT needs to do is shatter that window.

KITT: You know that Vincent would make sure you cannot leave that car, so how do you know that weak spot is still there??

Me: I don't need to guess. When I asked the Halo Squad to rig the 600LT, they have inserted some chemicals obtained from Sangheilios into the rear window frame of the car, which will mess up ANYTHING that is attached to that window. Vincent likely ensured that the windows were bulletproof, but the chemicals would likely mess up the molecules of that window.

KITT: Somehow these chemicals don't affect me in any way. I'll see you at the finish line.

Kimberley: Yeah, dude. I'll be there with KITT.

Me: Copied. And I will make sure Vincent gets a taste of my fiery wrath.

KITT: You better get over here fast, because the Asphalt Police have dispatched their units after you and Vincent.

Me: For what reason??

KITT: You and Vincent have been racing in locations that were not meant for racing. And just because AsphaltLand is mainly a place where top drivers race their best, does not mean that racing EVERYWHERE is legal. There are designated racing spots all over AsphaltLand, but the duel you are having against Vincent is not within any of these designated spots.

Me: And speaking of the Asphalt Police, I thought that according to Azelfland and his crew, they are allied with the VVS?

KITT: Their alliance with Vivendi is no longer valid since the 15th of July.

Me: You know what, just head over to the finish line.

At the finish line in the Iceland track

Me: I'm here, and I have beaten Vincent. But where are you, KITT?

KITT arrives behind my rigged 600LT

KITT: I have just sent some Vivendi goons into an ambush created by non-hostile fiends, and I hope I am not too late. Now duck.

KITT uses its M249s to shatter the rear window, allowing me to exit the car

Kimberley: You okay, dude?

Me: Of course I am. That money-minded @$$#0!€ thinks by using dirty tactics, he can win this race. I know I am hypocritical for plotting to wreck his car, but I am not going to let him get away with it. (After entering KITT) KITT, you ready?

KITT: All systems go. If this plan of yours fails, you better make sure I am safe aboard the D96-TCE Albatross ship.

Me: Of course you are going to make it. I am sending my McLaren crashing into his Lambo, while you cruise to my garage with maximum speed at all costs.

KITT leaves the finish line in auto-cruise mode whle I use the remote control to crash my 600LT into Vincent's car

Vincent: The mimute I reach the finish line, I wanna see what illegal mods did that punk put in his car....

My 600LT shows up in front of Vincent's car, charging towards it at full speed

Vincent: What the-

With the use of KITT's remote control system, I send my McLaren 600LT crashing into Vincent's Centenario, which 1) causes Vincent to be ejected from his car, 2) severely injures Vincent as soon as he hits the ground, 3) results in both cars exploding on impact, and 4) burning to the point nothing from both cars are salvagable

Vincent: (watching both cars burn to ashes, leaving nothing but charred and twisted metal behind) YOU DIRTY FREAKING CHEATER!! YOU HEAR THAT, TRASHF****R??!!! JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE YOUR DAY, THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT WORKING FOR FAIL-ONE-BOY, R8 F***, AND AZELFC*** WAS THE WRONG CHOICE!! YOU HEAR THAT??!!

Vincent sends out an SOS signal to his goons while KITT takes Kim and I to the Munich Subway track, where the portal to my Lexington Park garage is at, before it closes

Me: How much time left to cover the remaining distance before the portal disappears forever??

KITT: We can arrive in the nick of time. We would be able to reach your garage in 30 minutes, 5 minutes shorter than the time required for the portal to disintegrate completely.

Me: Good. It is too bad that I still have another four more cars to save before I can finally just focus on going back to New York City and live the life I always wanted.

Kimberley: And I am sure that Lily has been missing you a lot.

Me: She definitely will. Among my classmates who await my return, Lily was the one that was affected the most. Thanks to my stupidity, Naomi nearly lost Lily, when Lily ended up working for someone who made her do all the dirty work, and then that scumbag nearly got Lily killed when she tried to retaliate. Naomi did rescue her, but I wished I was there for her. And then, piece of junk Vincent took her away. Thankfully I was able to rescue her, but really, things started going to $#!+ while I continued operating in AsphaltLand. I wished I had just stayed at home, in Pelham Bay.

KITT: Just don't look back, TF2014. Just don't.

Me: How am I supposed to not look back when I have not left this rabbit hole?? I cannot relax until I have cleaned up all the mess I have made! If only I knew that the racing scene would cause me to lose my morality even faster than the insults Gordon and his f*****s, excluding Margaret, then I would rather remain with my friends and share their pain, rather than trying to chase wealth in favor for the same purpose.

Kimberley: Just relax, bro. Just relax.

Me: The only time I can relax is the time I can reunite with my friends before anything happens to them. The last thing I want to hear is hearing them getting harmed in any way. I cannot let what happened to Lily while I was not there for her, happen to anyone else. I need to end all this before it is too late.

KITT: You have just enough time to get everything set. But yeah, you have limited contact with them in case the VVS ever discovers their current location, so I know what are you trying to say. But at least, the isolation of your garage from AsphaltLand would likely limit the chances of Vincent detecting your friends.

Me: Yeah, I hope that is the case. There were teleporters connecting my garage to Azelf's, R8 Tyke's and my friends' former hideout, which have been removed now since Anais' death. At least they would never be able to discover details of my friends... but I just hope the portal disintegrates ASAP.

KITT: 23 minutes left for the portal to disintegrate, and I am just 18 minutes away. All you could hope is the lack of tresspassers entering your garage before the timer expires.

Me: There is definitely a lot I could do nothing but hope for.

Kimberley: I understand, and I am sure those former classmates of yours who agreed to give you a second chance would agree as well.

Me: Thanks, Kim. And let me bring up this worst case scenario...

Kimberley: What worst case scenario?

Me: Remember when I said that Lily was affected the most earlier? Let's say that we managed to reunite, but her emotions have not yet fully recovered, would you agree if we suspend our romancee for a period of time until I get to calm Lily down?? Look, don't get me wrong-

Kimberley: Look, you have just went against that oath. I know that, and I know that Lily would be affected a lot. Mistreated during schooling age, forced to work for some numbskull and nearly got killed, captured multiple times, never had much time to spend with you as normal friends... go ahead. I understand. Do what you need to do. Our relationship won't end. Thanks for telling me.

Me: I hope you don't get me wrong-

Kimberley: Trust me, I am not shocked. I know you just wanted to finish all the priorities you left undone. We will maintain our relationship, and I won't mind pausing it. But let me ask, what made you think you needed to give Lily more attention?

Me: Like what I said earlier, she was affected the most among all, I mean, ALL my former classmates. And you mentioned nearly ALL the problems Lily went through, some of which happened while I was not there for her.

Kimberley: I understand. Just remember she had forgiven you for all you have done, so she would be waiting for your return.

Me: I hope so. And to add the fact that we were once captured by KARR, if she ever finds out....

KITT: Wait. Did you just mention KARR??

Me: Yeah, I just did. But KARR disintegrated into pieces, so you don't have to worry about turbo boosting into him.

KITT: Phew!! And speaking of KARR, the whole KARR project was actually abandoned in 2009. But knowing Vincent, he somehow stumbled on the AI unit of KARR. So that's how he managed to convert one of his gang cars into KARR. Thankfully, KARR is gone because the rogue programming of KARR made him an extremely brutal and tough enemy. And of course, (breaking the fourth wall) KARR's voice is identical to Optimus Prime's voice, so it will not be too surprising if in any case, there are a handful of people who think that Optimus Prime got hypnotised, and took a new chassis.

Kimberley: What a wacky world this is.

KITT: Yes, wacky indeed.

Me: I do agree that it is crazy, though not as crazy that Flat Earthers still exist to this day.

KITT: Whoah!! Whoah. Flat Earthers? That is another one there.

Me: Yes. The world's most idiotic group of people of the 21st century.
