Prologue
Time: 12:42 AM, Sunday, 22nd August, 2010.
Location: South-bound on SSR7

SSR7 is normally quiet at this time of night. Tonight is no exception. There are a handful of cars on the road, including Kenji Nakamura’s Nissan GT-R. It’s grey paint sparkling in the moon-lit light. Glancing in the rear-view mirror, Kenji notices a pair of headlights rapidly closing in on him. Kenji thinks nothing of it and in a courteous gesture, moves to the left. The single pair of headlights quickly turns into 5 sets of headlights which belong to a series of black Mercedes sedans. They pass the GT-R and stop in front of it, forcing Kenji to stop. Kenji’s wife, Natsuki, panics and screams.

“What the hell!?!”

Kenji gets out in an attempt to find out why he was forced to stop, but quickly realizes what just happened. The Yakuza were here to take him out.
Kenji run’s back to his car and floors it in an attempt to escape. The Mercedes’ take pursuit. With 550 BHP at his disposal, Kenji manages to put distance between him and the Yakuza cars. The tuned GT-R soon reaches the SSR7 interchange, the GT-Rs carbon ceramic brakes slowing the car down from 300kp/h to 70. Kenji turns in and aims for the apex, but the first of the Yakuza cars rams him, causing Kenji to spin. Not even a pro driver like him can correct the spin. The car hits the safety barrier, tearing the front of the car off. Kenji attempts to get out, but the black C63 rams the driver’s side door. The rest of the convoy arrive, and a man in a black suit, smoking a cigar, gets out of the black E55 in the middle of the convoy. He is the head of the local branch of the Yakuza. He walks to the wreckage of what was once a $200,000 Nissan Supercar.

“I don’t think Kenji Nakamura will be a problem anymore… Let’s go before the cops arrive.”

The man turns around and walks towards his car. His name is Suichi Ueno. His name is feared throughout Japan. He has been known to torture anyone who betrays them. He gets into the back seat of his E55 and orders the driver to set off. Within seconds, the 5 black Mercedes cars have left the scene without a trace. 10 minutes later, an old lady in a Daihatsu Move kei car sees the wreck and calls the police.

12 km away, Takuma Nakamura is sitting on the couch in the Nakamura family home. He’s watching the news while he waits for his parents to get home.

Oh, you've finally posted it. It's still as good as back when I had originally read it. Keep on going. 👍
 
The long awaited fanfic by Korza! A nice start! Perhaps I should startup again...
 
Good start my friend, I hope you plan on posting pictures though. Pictures make the story, and I can't follow a story as well without them. However, I could visualize it very well, as vividly as in a professional novel.

I do plan on posting pictures, but unfortunately I couldn't get any for this chapter.

Thanks for the complimments guys, it makes me feel good that I've had such a good response and its only been up for 3 or so hours. 👍
 
It's a good start, but it felt a little bit short TBH.
 
Just to let everyone know, you can expect to see the first chapter tomorrow.
 
Give the guy another 12 hours…though don't expect much, he is Korza after all…he is almost famous for being slow. :lol:

To be honest, somehow, I'm really looking forward how this story gets going…I wonder why? ;) Damn…I might have said too much, sorry mate. :lol:

But yea, come on, you made a promise, you deliver, pictures or not. :p

Sorry for the double post/bad news combo but turns out that I don't have the images needed for the chapter on my laptop so I won't be able to post the chapter for a little while longer. Sorry guys!
 
As promised, here is the first chapter.

Chapter 1

Time: 3:26 PM, Saturday, 21st August, 2010.
Location: Suzuka Circuit

“Don’t do it dad! This guy is bad news….”


A pristine Nissan GT-R pulls out the garage slowly, its Gun Grey Metallic paintjob glistening in the afternoon Suzuka sunlight. That’s Kenji Nakamura. Waiting on the track for him is a red Ferrari Enzo. The driver, Hans van der Venn, challenged Kenji to a race. Takuma has a gut feeling that the guy driving the Enzo is dodgy. Kenji's GT-R is parked next to the Enzo. Takuma run over as it starts to rain.

T: “Don’t race this guy dad!”


K: “You know I never back down from a challenge…”


“Don’t do it dad! This guy is bad news….”

The 2 minute warning alarm is sounded. Everyone scrambles to get off the track. Dark, heavy clouds are moving in, threatening to douse the circuit in rain. 2 minutes later, the starting lights begin to light up.

3…. 2…. 1….

Go!

The Enzo bogs down and gets a poor start. The GT-R takes off at a ferocious speed.

The GT-R reaches the first corner, several car lengths ahead of the Enzo.
Hans isn’t a very good driver, his talents unable to maximize the potential of the Ferrari.

"I was hoping this would be more of a challenge."

By the time Kenji reaches the Degner Curve's, Hans is already 2 seconds down...

...And the gap keeps spreading....

...Until they hit the straight leading to the infamous 130R.

The Enzo is gaining quickly.

Hans tries to overtake on the outside...

...but loses control on the grass verge and spares off the course into the gravel trap.

The Enzo was travelling so fast that it reached the end off the gravel trap before coming to a halt.

"Too easy!
"

The Enzo is fine, but it is stranded in the gravel patch. Kenji wins the race by default and he makes his way back to the pits.

The GT-R pulls into the pit garage and Kenji gets out. Congratulatory hugs and Hi-5’s are exchanged.

“That seemed almost too easy…”


“Yeah it was. I told you everything would be alright…”


“I know… I’m going to head home now. I’ll see you in a few hours.”


“Alright son, I'll see you soon.”


Thanks to Onboy123 for being a pain in the ass the crap driver in the Enzo.
👍
