//------------------------------// // Welcome To The Apocalypse // Story: R.A.C.E // by Spike DrakeStar9 //------------------------------// Alright, let's start with this: Long ago, civilization lived in complete peace and harmony, Equestrians and Dragons coexisted, putting aside their differences. But the war would come a few years later, the differences between the two races arose again, leading everything to ruin, leaving half the world in dunes and deserts, since then the years became eternal, resources were scarce and more and more they began to separate more. So bands were created there: small groups of people trying to survive the world they were thrown into. But one day, someone did not want his life to be miserable, to have no emotion after the war. listen while reading A road is seen next to an abandoned, useless power grid, until a modified car passes by at top speed, taking with it the sand and some discarded billboards. Written by: Spike DrakeStar9 Someone did not want life to be boring and repetitive, this person, or rather, this Unicorn, would create a powerful empire. Soon more modified cars are seen chasing the first, including a truck. The car from the beginning turns off the road and continues onto a dirt road, the driver activates a button, which activates a turret that starts shooting at the other cars. One of them loses control and capsizes, smashing itself as it spins over and over. Inspired by the movies: Dead Race 2000 and Mad Max. This unknown Unicorn began bringing together adrenaline junkies, creating a place where everyone could risk everything and win or lose, drawing people into something that was more than just a fire challenge. The driver continues trying to get rid of his pursuers, who also start activating their weapons and going faster to catch up with him, starting a pitched battle between racers, trying to find out who can last the longest before one of them loses. He had created something that would end the endless, lonely years of the new world, creating something new, something better for all those who sought freedom from the repetitive and boring life. He was praised by some who saw him as... A King, the King of extreme adrenaline. We return to the fighters who do not surrender to their unreachable prey, the runner goes through some rock formations, throwing bombs at them and causing landslides, until he throws a bomb at the truck, destroying it and eliminating everyone. This person created the craziest races of all time: R.A.C.E The driver returns to the road and continues on his way until day turns to night and the sun sets, giving way to a full moon. He stops shortly after in a ruined, sand-covered city, where several lights can be seen, following them until he meets several cars at a starting line. "... Good evening, runners, welcome to a qualifier to see who is eligible to enter R.A.C.E", yes, since what the presenter named was created, these qualifiers were made to see who enters and who dies trying: "Alright, this is simple, you have to do 3 complete turns, the turns are marked and you can only use your weapons when you consider it necessary". They all get into position, waiting for him to signal for the start, then he pulls out a revolver and fires, giving the signal and getting everyone forward, rounding the first corner and crashing to victory, some jumping over the sand mounds and others are already turning on their weapons, shooting at the others. Our protagonist of the moment manages to pass almost everyone, taking care of the weapons that point against his tires. They turn the last 3 corners and entering the second lap, where everyone gets more aggressive, although some walls also go up, surprising everyone. "Did I forget to mention that each lap gets harder? Better prepare yourselves". They keep running while dodging the rising walls and continuing to take each other out, the protagonist shoots into the wheel of one of his opponents, causing him to lose control and crash into another runner, killing both of them in the process. They round the last bend and one of them, who is in a large truck, crashes into another and sends it flying until it collides with a bridge pillar, exploding. Now there are 5 competitors left and they reach the third lap, where everything starts to explode, buildings fall and spiked bars appear, making the track impossible. "This qualifying is not easy, to enter the big races it is necessary to see who is fit to survive in this new empire that has been created. Welcome to the apocalypse". Of the 5 participants, 4 remained, of the 4, 3 participants still survive, the protagonist is still standing after all, resisting the impossible race he is living. In that, a building collapses and he goes through it, dodging the columns and falling rubble until he breaks a window on the other side. Both 3 try to reach the third corner, but another building collapses, causing them to turn left to try to go around it, which they do well, but the third driver overturns and flips, leaving the wheels up, leaving only 2 drivers on the track, who start to crash to get the other out. They see the last corner, but a collision between the two makes them both lose control, they quickly start and turn, seeing the finish line in front of them. "Nah, maybe they weren't ready. Time to go back", said and done, he walks behind a house, seeing his car and starting, leaving the place towards the great and vast desert where everyone lives now. Although soon more adventures will be lived on the roads and dunes of the new world, someone who is capable of surviving the most dangerous and crazy of these races, only a boy will be able to win the races that now all participate, that everyone plays for a prize that anyone could dream of who did not want the world to go to the desert apocalypse.
