----('She Devil' starts playing)----

"5!!"

"4!!"

"3!!"

"2!!"

"1!!"

"GO!!"

Both cars launched off, the tyres of both cars skidded as it left the starting. The JZA80 was leading with the Miata on it's tail. The 'Sudden Death' match had begun.

Prayter up shifted when he revved into the red line. The first corner was ahead.

"Here we go!!!" The red hair exclaimed and did a basic understeer into the curve. However, Xiao Lin behind did an excellent handbrake drift and closed the gap between the Supra.

"Prayter's got guts putting up a fight against us." Huang observed the Supra in front of him. "He pulls a little on the straights but in the corners the guy's got no skill."

The JZA80 did another basic understeer into the curve but the Roadster did smoother drifts as it began to stick on the red hair's bumper.

"He's barely even drifting through these hairpins." Huang was starting to get bored. "What on earth is he thinking?"

The hazelnut hair looked more closely and found out what it was.

"Oh, so he thought of dragging the round huh?" Huang smirked and turned to his sister. "Lin, he's saving his tyre traction, I think you should too if we don't want him pulling away later."

"No~."

"Huh?"

"There's still a lot of tight hairpins before the long straights of this course~. If I start saving up my tyres now we'll just drag this into a second run~. Thus, after the straights there's still more consecutive hairpins coming up~." Xiao Lin coldly said.

"Besides......"

"He sucks at doing corners!" The blonde haired girl's personality began to change. She began to attack the corners more aggressively and with more speed.

The Roadster did a quick understeered through a corner. Coming out of it, Lin swiftly downshifted and braked drifted into a tight hairpin. The MX-5 began pressuring the gray Supra in front.

"What the hell?!" Prayter exclaimed on seeing the Roadster right on his ass.

"Impressive." Huang thought. "She's in her zone this early into the match? Well then, it looks like this battle is gonna end sooner than I thought it will."

"When my sister gets in the zone nothing can stand in her way. Her shy and cute personality changes into a aggressive speed devil as she begans to blur when taking the corners. That's her strength Prayter, especially she hates to be behind any racer and that's where her blood really boils."

"Let see how long you'll last!"

Lin entered the left L-bend corner at high speed before letting her foot of the accelerator and pulling the handbrakes, drifting around the corner. She shifts into third gear and power slids into a right hairpin only by hitting the brakes.

The Miata was so close to the Supra that it could kiss it's bumper.

Prayter began to sweat. The pressure of the headlights behind him was unbearable.

"Damn, she's gaining on me!" Prayter clutched a shifted into fourth. "But I've got a trick under my sleeve."

The next U-bend hairpin came. The red hair smiled uncontrollably as he dived before steering into the turn. He pressed the gas and in a split second, kicking the clutch that sent a shock through the powertrain, upsetting the car's balance and causing the rear wheels to slip. He placed his right foot between the gas and brakes doing a heel to toe as he counter steered out of the hairpin.

The JZA80 manages to pull a little, shocking both Huang and Xiao Lin.

"This is the technique Louis told me to use to replace braking into corners." Prayter maneuvered the same into the next hairpin. Kicking the clutch as he counter steered in the mid drift. "The clutch kick technique!"

Xiao Lin behind downshifted before braking and then flooring the gas. She power drifted with the Supra which made Prayter grunt.

"What how?! That was a perfect drift!!!" Prayter tried his new technique at the next corner but the Miata was still behind him.

"The clutch kick technique should have given me an advantage in the corners and my Supra here should have dominated the straights but why the hell isn't she eating my dust now?!" Prayter got frustrated. "What am I doing wrong?!"

Prayter revved his twin turbo 2JZ engine and he began to do power slides into the hairpins.

"Partner, I can't pull away at the corners!" The JZA80 told his red hair partner. "We need to try something else!"

"I need to concentrate man! I got this!!" Prayter dove into another hairpin. The Roadster parallel drifted flawlessly after him, closing the gap.

(At hairpin no.23......)

The gallery of people spectating the race heard tyres squealing and rubber burning coming closer. Some of the spectators who brought portable stools began to move at the edge of their seats. They got their smartphones ready to record the action.

"That's some serious squealing coming right at us." A staff member said hearing the cars coming closer. "This is gonna be one hell of a battle."

"No kidding, the sound of those engine's revs already gives me goosebumps."

Two headlights appeared. Both cars coming at full speed. MX-5 Roadster behind and Toyota Supra still in the lead.

"HERE THEY COME!!!"

Xiao Lin and Prayter downshifted and slammed the brakes. The Supra did a insane fast turbo drift with the Roadster parallel drifting behind it, matching it's speed.

*EEEEEEE!!*

Both cars taillights flashed before disappearing into the night.

(At the summit.....)

"*static* The JZA80 did a crazy fast drift into the hairpin were at! But the Roadster is no where far behind it as they both parallel drifted into the curve at the same speed! *static*" The walkie-talkie babbled in mandarin. Louis understood every word of it and grunted.

"Damn it, he's wearing his tyres already? It's gonna cause us the race!" Joel wailed.

Louis watched the battle from above leaning on the guardrail over the edge of a cliff. "Come on Prayter, don't screw this up!!"

Elemental Drifters: The Second Stage
_________________________________________
(13:00hrs, Nürburgring, Germany)

The Elemental Drifters next meet up was at a racing circuit at Nürburgring. Airi had been granted permission to be able to use the track freely for the day.

Both Rachel and Airi were having a chat while grabbing a bite in a small cafeteria near the race track.

"Really?" Airi asked almost laughing. "He would train his muscles swinging on monkey bars?"

"Yeah, it's crazy you know." Rachel took a bit of her tuna sandwich and swallowed. "He was just another guy who only dreams big and took very little action. But he soon became the fastest racer on the planet next to the Drift King!"

"Well, that's the Louis we know." Both girls laughed. The bill soon arrived and Airi paid for it.

"Hey wanna try out this awesome track?" Rachel took out the keys to her S30 Nissan Fairlady Z.

"Bring it on." Airi took out the keys to her R32 Skyline GT-R and both girls left the table.

As they got into the car park. Rachel soon found out that her partner was blocked by another car parking horizontally.

"Crap, who doubled parked next to my Fairlady?" Rachel started to get angry a little.

"Hey, calm down. At least the car is pretty sweat!" Airi admired the car double parking. It was a modified matte blue RX-7 FD.

"I wonder if it's an element." Rachel said softly. "It would have been much easier."

Suddenly, the FD spoke. "Whoa, hey am I blocking your partner here?"

"Ya think?!" Rachel's Fairlady yelled.

"You do talk." Airi calmly said. "Do you know where your partner is right now?"

"Oh Katie, she's that impatient type who never learns. She wanted to use the restroom but with the parking lot full she couldn't wait any longer so she had to park me here."

Then, a blue haired girl came running towards them. "Oh sorry! I needed to use the restroom urgently. I'm so sorry about this." Katie apologized repeatedly.

"Hang on," Rachel recognized the blue hair as she tried to remember the events of the previous year.

"The time for us to take this planet is near! So we'll soon have the ultimate battle between the Dark and Light element!"

"Wait a minute, aren't you Katie Black the former Dark Water Element." Rachel asked the blue hair who stood shocked.

"Oh crap, here comes more insults." Katie thought. "Yes.... I was a Dark Element."

"I think that's pretty cool." Airi said out of the blue.

Katie: "What?"

"I observed your diving technique and it was amazing. Apart from your rival, JL, you seemed to be the only racer I know that has no fear of the downhill."

"You drift at amazing speeds and pretty skilled for a FD driver."

"Thank you." Katie said. "I never met anyone who'd praise my like that."

"It's ok." Rachel joined in. "Say how about we test out this awesome track together. Just the three of us."

"Sounds great." Katie smiled.
_________________________________________
(Tianmen Mountains, going downhill......)

Prayter downshifted and braked into the right bend curve. Doing a quick oversteer around it and putting more pressure into the tyres.

Xiao Lin didn't even break a sweat entering the tight U hairpin after the Supra. She was closing in, and fast!!

"Nothing's working!" The red hair exclaimed frustrated. "In the straights I can pull away a bit but she catches up on the corners."

"And on top of all, she can do as many power overs as she want due to her Roadster's light weight!"

"Even if I do wide the gap during the long straights. The next consecutive hairpins after that are gonna bite me right in the ass."

"The Roadster is just too good in the corners!!"

Then something clicked in Prayter's head. "Wait that's it!!"
