Chapter 14: Overcharged of Velocity-9

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The Flash ran, ran as fast as he could away from the ZPD. away from the city, away from those that could be hurt by Godspeed.

As the world turned into an endless blur of colours and light, Barry mentally hoped this plan would work. Godspeed was one of his most dangerous foes, and this parallel was no pushover. However, there were some key differences between him and the original, something Barry knew he could exploit, he just had to push the predator far enough. Glancing back, he made sure the cheetah was still chasing
him, sure enough, the dark speedster was there, rapidly closing the gap. Godspeed growled as he saw Barry accelerate, he wasn't going to be outrun so easily. As the two speedsters rocketed through the rolling hills and plains of Bunnyburrow, the
predator picked up speed and his Tachyon Enhancers responded, agitating the V9 in his system so he could run even faster. Boosting himself forwards, the predator managed to come alongside Barry and roughly shoved him. The Flash veered widely off course, narrowly avoiding a forest of trees as he corrected his footing. As he closed the gap with Godspeed, Barry decided that turnabout was fair play and span his left arm to generate a mini-tornado, blowing the dark speedster sideways into a parked truck. Godspeed saw stars as he impacted the vehicle with a clang. Dropping to his knees, the cheetah shook his head to try and clear his vision, just as Barry skidded to a stop before him.

"I see you've gotten faster," he growled.

"What can I say? I work hard." Barry said.

"It still won't be enough Flash," said Godspeed, stalking towards Barry.

"Once I break you, I will break everyone around you, starting with that bunny and her boy-toy fox! I will turn the ZPD into a charnel house and leave a trail of
bodies all over Zootopia and beyond!"

"Godspeed stop!" snapped Barry. "Don't you see? It's the V9 in your system, it's twisting your mind. I've seen the damage it does, it destroys good people, turns them into something awful. You said life wasn't easy for you, but this is just destroying any hope you have of a brighter future."

"August, please. Let it go," he offered the cheetah a hand, one last plea for him to stop what he was doing and change for the better.

However, his plea went unheeded.

"My NAME is Godspeed!" roared the predator. "I will NEVER give up Flash, not until I am the fastest mammal in the world, not until I live in infamy and my name is feared by all!"

He went to drive his fist into Barry's chest, but the
metahuman dodged the attack and kicked Godspeed in the gut.

"Fine," replied Barry, grimly. "But if you want to be the fastest, you'll have to catch me first."
With that The Flash took off in a streak of golden lightning. As Godspeed watched Barry leave, he pulled out another Epipen and jammed it into his jugular. As blue and white lightning coursed over his body, the dark speedster released a furious bellow before he charged after Barry.

The Flash risked a glance over his shoulder and saw Godspeed rapidly catching up. Pushing himself to run faster, Barry felt his own Tachyon Enhancer respond and new energy surged through his veins. The effect was like removing a weight from his body and the scarlet speedster shattered the sound barrier with a deafening boom.

Godspeed snarled.

Increasing his own speed, he felt the machinery in his legs respond but he was still just behind The Flash as they sped out to sea, their sheer velocity
allowing them to run on the water's surface. Water borne mammals and sailors alike were stupefied by
the two speedsters as they shot along the ocean's surface, their wakes causing powerful waves that nearly upturned several smaller vessels. Hitting land once more, the added traction caused the pair to speed up once again as they rocketed through lush jungle and stepped pyramid cities. The tropical mammals ducking and diving to avoid the two as Godspeed struggled to catch up with his nemesis.
Injecting himself with another dose of V9, the cheetah immediately began to close the distance with Barry. As they left the continent and ran out over the ocean once more, he finally managed to come up beside The Flash. He generated a tornado to try and knock Barry over, at their speeds hitting the water would be fatal. However, Barry was familiar with this trick and fell back to avoid it.
As they hit land, running through open desert and brush land, Barry came up alongside Godspeed before overtaking him once again. The cheetah let out a frustrated roar before injecting himself with all the remaining V9.

As they hit land, running through open desert and brush land, Barry came up alongside Godspeed before overtaking him once again. The cheetah let out a frustrated roar before injecting himself with all the remaining V9. The results were instantaneous, he accelerated significantly and the world seemed to peel back around him, the only clear image he had was of The Flash as he rapidly caught up with him. Blue lightning sparked and flashed across the
predator's body as he once again drew level with his
nemesis.

"You can't outrun me Flash, no matter how fast you are!" Godspeed roared.

"I don't need to outrun you Godspeed, just outthink you," replied Barry, as the pair neared Zootopia.

Godspeed growled as he went to drive a fist through Barry heart, but he paused. Something felt different, something felt....off. The cheetah looked as his vibrating hand, sparks were coursing all over it, but that wasn't all. He looked on in slowly dawning horror as it began to disintegrate, blue dust peeling off in the wind as he ran faster and faster.

"What's happening to me? What did you do?!" he roared.

"I didn't do anything Godspeed, you did!" replied Barry. "You might be fast, but you're not a speedster, your power isn't natural, it's artificial! I wasn't lying when I said I'd seen what V9 does to people, the addiction, the madness. It's just like any other drug, and that includes what happens when you overdose!"

Godspeed couldn't stop running, he could feel the V9 in his system, forcing him onwards, forcing him to keep accelerating until he overtook The Flash entirely. As his body began to break down, disintegrating into nothing, he let out a cry of pain and terror, until finally, there was nothing left.
Barry skidded to a stop, they had made it back to Zootopia and Godspeeds' final run had stopped just short of the city centre. He walked up to where the dark speedster had vanished. All that was left was a pile of ash, the shreds of his costume, and his leg implants, which sparked and popped on the concrete. Aware of how dangerous even the remains of Zoom could be, he gathered up the tattered costume and ruined implants. Racing back to the ZPD, he left them in Honey's lab before speeding back towards the warehouse battle, hoping that nothing terrible had happened in his absence.
