Hot Wheels Acceleracers 5: The Final Lap

Chapter 5

Next chapter is finally here! I said that I'd finish this story and I'm keeping that promise!

Two days had passed. The Wheel of Power Hologram was finished. The Teku and Metal Maniacs were on their way to Tezla's headquarters.

"You said the Silencerz might have been on the right side of things. But Tezla wanted to use the wheel to help the world. Who do you think is right now?" Karma asked Kurt on the comms.

"I can't say. But with how secretive they've been and how Tezla described them, I can see where he gets the secrecy from." Kurt said. "Unfortunately, what he's doing with the wheel is one of the only things we can go off of to find Vert."

"Hey uh Karma." Monkey said.

"Yeah?"

"I've been meaning to ask, ever since we got out of the Drones' headquarters. How exactly did you know that cannon was about to shoot?" Monkey asked.

Karma took a moment to respond. "I don't know. A hunch I guess."

"We're almost there!" Nolo said.

They drove into a cave and continued going through twists and turns before reaching a secret entrance that sent them underground.

Tezla's 3rd Headquarters: The Ultimate Cube

Lani and Dr. Tezla were already waiting for them.

They all got out of their cars.

"It's done." Tezla said.

"Then what are we waitin' for? Let's go!" Wylde said.

They all got back in their cars and started driving on the track towards the portal. The track had a similar layout to the one found in the Acceledrome. Though there were a few less twists, the height of the track and where the hologram of the wheel was higher. Kurt led the pack, with Nolo trailing close behind. Taro was third, followed by Karma in fourth. Behind her was Tork, Wylde, Porkchop, Monkey, and Shirako, in that order. All the drivers, except Monkey, had determined looks on their faces, prepared to get through whatever was in their way to get Vert.

"We'll keep in touch through the onboard camera and radio." Lani told them all via radio.

"Don't let this be the Drones. Don't let this be the Drones." Monkey repeated as he got closer and closer to the portal.

They all drove through, hitting 300 mph and entering the portal.

Music Stops

"I'm worried about them Tezla." Lani said, being sure that they didn't hear their conversation on the radio.

"They seem determined to get Vert back. I'd say there isn't much to be concerned about." Dr. Tezla said, not meaning this in a cold way. By this, he meant that their determination to find a friend would push them through any obstacles they faced.

"If the drivers go through Hot Wheels City again, who's to say there aren't still drones there? Even with Gelorum being gone, there's no guarantee that they'd just shut down and give up like they're hopeless, right? And the Silencerz headquarters. If they're there... we've seen what the Silencerz can do when it comes to cars and their technology in general. I just don't know if they'll be able to defend themselves enough." Lani said.

Before Tezla could react or respond, one of the drivers spoke. "Lani, you there? We're in." Tork said over the comm. Lani quickly looked back at the drivers' onboard cameras.
