Pursuit four“Ne, where’s Kumi?” Yuria asked.
“Apparently, she’s still in the room.” Churi adjusted her ribbon headband.
“Yuria, where is the exact location of the race event?” Airin checked her polo.
“According to the flyer that we saw in Kyoto, the location is in Tomei Expressway, Shizuoka Prefecture, between Okazaki, Aichi and Tsuzuki, Hamamatsu. The race is 41.2 km sprint race.”
“Really, 41.2 kilometers? That race was only for the mid-ranked teams, and the minimum car’s top speed should be about 200 mph because it takes some time to finish that. Unless there something interesting.” Airin said. Churi went to the refrigerator to get water.
“The reward is 45,000,000 US$.” This made Churi spat her drank water and Airi almost dropped her helmet.
“Forty-five million dollars?” Furuyanagi said at the same time while their eyes are widened.
“Yes, four, five and six zeros dollars. And also.” Yuria went to her sling bag to getting her modified Sony Xperia Tablet Z. Then she went to the gallery and found a photo.
“There is a chance that we will be selected to a race in Aomori Prefecture. There are 16 positions and there’s only one vacant seat left. So all we need to do is win the race and voila, welcome to the tournament.” Yuria explained.
“And once we win on that race.” Furuyanagi said.
“Then our team will rank up two times and gain popularity at the same time gaining more attention to the police and to the top four teams.” Kumi appeared behind Furuyanagi pair, surprising both of them. She’s wearing sleeveless shirt and denim pants. Her red-checkered long sleeve polo was been tied around her waist.
“Hey, is it the time to go there?” Kumi remind them.
“Oh yeah, we almost forgot.” Airin went to her motorcycle and threw the helmet to Churi that she catches it in one hand. Yuria went to the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird motorcycle, which was owned by their Manager, Matsui Rena.
“Guys, you should go there first. I need to check the my car first.” Kumi requested.
“Ok, you should go there before the race ne?” Yuria asked. After Kumi nodded to her, the young girl signals the pairing for allowed going to the race first. After the two motorcycle disappeared from the sight, Kumi opened the hood of her car, revealing the car’s engine bay.
“Hmm… Engines without any leakage, check. Battery must not in short circuit, check. Brake fluid must not have any dirt, check. Power steering must be in maximum, check.” After the checking, Kumi closed the hood then cleans her hands using towel.
“The suspension has not any problems. The electronic stability control is still in good condition. Shock absorbers are in better function. Tires are in good health for better drifting and acceleration. Well looks like everything’s clear.” Kumi went to the front seat and started the engine. Then she saw Rena coming to her.
“Well, I guess this is your first race in this team, so I say good luck.” Rena said.
“Thanks, Rena-san.”
“And be careful, especially when you meet one of the aces of the four teams. I predict that they will going to come to the race to observe the event, especially to the AKB’s aces that always went to the races, Watanabe Mayu, Oshima Yuko and Kashiwagi Yuki.”
“You seem to know about AKB Team, Rena-san.” Kumi was curious.
“It’s because I’m formerly one of them before this team formed.” Kumi was slightly surprised upon Rena’s revelation.
“Why do you have to say this to me?” Kumi asked.
“It’s because I have a hopes that you, along with Yuria, will become the ace of this team. Soon, you two will gonna battle the four team’s ace, although not enough cause you’re dealing with more than two racers. Nevertheless, I believe that there would be a miracle. So, good luck on your race and don’t be caught by the police.” Then Rena went to her room.
“Thanks Rena.” Kumi pressed the accelerate pedal as the car rapidly boomed away to their hideout.
Location: Tomei Expressway, Okazaki, Aichi
Time: April 18, 2040; 10:00 am
Race: Sprint race
Starting line: Owari Ohiracho, Okazaki, Aichi

Total distance: 41.2 kilometers
Police presence: None as of now Several racing teams meet below the flyover of Tomei Expressway. There are currently 10 racing teams are participating on this mid-tier race. Each team checked on their own available arsenals that will be use on the race. They know that this race is highly risky. Aside of the fuel consumption, their worries is this lengthy race will caught the attention of the police, mostly the Special Rapid Response Unit of the National Police Agency.
One girl wearing denim vest over her white shirt is leaning to the hyper-series car, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. She’s currently surveying the scene, despite having a bored face. She saw a short-haired girl wearing black tank tops over her all-button opened, checkered polo and denim pants.
“What’s with that bored face?” The short-haired girl asked.
“Ne, Sayanee. Why you pulled me here? You know this is a goddamn boring race.” This girl said.
“Gomen ne, Ainyan. I know you’re bored. However, I need a companion.” Sayaka said.
“You already know that with all of these junk cars can’t even reach the finish line.” Aina said.
“I know, but to make three of the 16 aces of the AKB team and three of the 7 aces of HKT team appeared on this place, this race makes more interesting. And looks like they have the same feeling as mine.” Sayaka leaned to her own ride.
“You’re right. With the appearing of the three top teams in this place, somehow there’s a miracle will happen.” With the sound of the engine, the two aces of NMB team saw a two bikes coming to the venue. After shutting down the engine, the three riders removed their helmet and setting up the equipment.
“Hey, Sasshi. Is that Kizaki Yuria of the SKE team?” A short-haired girl asked.
“You’re right, Haruppi. It is Kizaki-san. I heard that her car was totalled. Sakuratan, dou?” She asked to the girl sitting on the hood of green Lamborghini Reventon.
“They’re still the participants in the race. Maybe they have a substitute.” Sakura said.
“A substitute eh. I wonder if that person is strong.” Suddenly, they heard a roaring sound coming out of nowhere. Then a blue car appeared behind the overpass and went to SKE Team’s site.
“What the hell? A Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR? That is an exotic-series car!” A girl blurted out.
“Shut up, Yuko-san. So this is the car of the rumoured driver that will substitute Kizaki Yuria.” A twin tail-haired girl with wearing glasses said. She’s sitting on the top of her silver SSC Tuatara
“Ne, Mayuyu. Who is the driver of this Dodge Viper?” A black-haired girl asked leaning on her metallic gray Porsche 9FF GT9R.
“I don’t know, Yukirin. If this driver can finish this race, I think that person has the potential of becoming their ace racer.” Mayu said. The door opened revealing a girl wearing white sleeveless shirt.
“That driver is a girl. What do you think, Sayanee?” Then Aina saw her friend’s eyes grew wide.
“That girl. It can’t be.” Sayaka whispered.
“Sayanee?”
“Am I late?” Kumi asked.
“Nope, you’re just in time.” Yuria answered.
“By the way, your ride have caught many attentions to our fellow racers.” Then Akane put her mouth on her ears.
“Especially to the three top teams that currently present here.” Akane winked.
“Eh?” Kumi airheadedly asked. Then she looked to her surroundings and saw the racers are staring at her.
‘
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Mazda RX-8, Toyota Supra and some Supra Impreza. Almost all are sport-series cars.’ She saw three high-class cars not so far from the meeting.
“Lamborghini Reventon, exotic-series car. On the other side, Porsche 9FF GT9-R, another exotic-series car, SSC Tuatara and SSC Ultimate Aero XT. Two hyper-series cars?” Kumi raised her eyebrow. Then she looked on her left side.
“Lastly is Saleen S7, a hyper-series car.” Kumi’s expression changed to surprise as she recognized the girl leaning to the Saleen S7.
‘
That girl, Yamamoto-san?’ Kumi walked towards the two girls. Sayaka replied by walking also towards Kumi. Then the two girls standing in front of each other.
“I’d never thought that you’re a driver of that Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR.” Sayaka said.
“I’d never thought that you’re the racer like me, Yamamoto-san.” Kumi said.
“I’d forgot to give a proper introduction. Yamamoto Sayaka desu. I’m one of the aces of NMB Team. That Saleen S7 that you saw is my ride.”
“Oh, an NMB ace. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Yagami Kumi desu, I’m recently joined in SKE Team. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.” Kumi offered her hand.
“Yoroshiku ne.” Sayaka replied with a hand shake. Then the two girls went apart to their respective team.
“You know that girl?” Aina asked.
“Last time. When we bumped to each other. She gave me a chill there.” Sayaka said.
“A chill eh. It means that girl will soon to be your rival?” Aina grins.
“Well, if she wins.” Sayaka said.
Meanwhile, an exotic-series car parked beside Sakura’s Lamborghini Reventon. Then the door opened, revealing a long-haired girl wearing black jacket over head white crop top shirt and black skirt.
“Natsu, what are you doing here?” Sakura asked to one of the seven HKT aces, Matsuoka Natsumi.
“I just happened to saw you guys here after warming up my ride.” Natsumi coldly said, referring to her black Ferrari 488 Spider.
“You mean destroying police vehicles, right? What a way of warming up.” Sakura rolled her eyes in annoyance.
“Oh Natsu! Good timing, this race will be more interesting to watch.” Rino said.
“Hehhhh.” Natsumi in uninterested tone.
“Unless you saw someone riding an exotic-series car, that tone of yours will be changed into interested one.” Haruka pointed out on blue car parking beside SKE Team.
“Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR? And I thought that lower-than-rat team can’t afford that kind of car.” Natsumi mockingly said.
“Well, the one that you said lower-than-rat team, has a recently joined member that owned that car.” Haruka said. They saw Kumi entering to the blue car and close its door, then started the engine.
“According to the recent update of SKE Team’s database, her name is Yagami Kumi. She’s the owner of blue Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR. Aside of that, nothing to know much about her.” Rino explained while holding a laptop.
“Yagami Kumi ehhh. Interesting.” Natsumi’s expression showing her curiosity.
While Kumi finished adjusting the fingerless gloves on her hand, Yuria approached her.
“Ne, Yagami-san. You have to be careful. Like I said last time, aside of this lengthy race, you will attract the cops. So in case if you see them, try to shake them off. And watch out if you see any exotic-series or hyper-series cars with police design or appearance, it could be the rumour elite police group in National Police Agency. Especially if you saw a storm-like design.” Yuria warned.
“Eh? Storm-like design?” Kumi asked.
“Eh? You didn’t know?” Yuria reacted at Kumi’s reaction.
“No. I only stayed in United States for ten years, so I didn’t know much anything.” Kumi replied.
“Oh. Well, that storm-like design is the insignia of the highest elite traffic enforcement group in National Police Agency. They are known as Special Traffic Operations and Rapid Manoeuvre Unit or S.T.O.R.M. Unit. They possessed state-of-the-art cars, which is highly durable. So not trying to fight them.” Yuria warned.
“Hm… Understood. I take that warning as advice.” Kumi went inside to her car.
“Eh? Advice? Wait, you’re not trying to fight them, right?” Yuria exclaimed.
“More likely I’ll be forced to fight them. I’ll just shake them off. Well, see yah!” Kumi said in American accent.
“Kumi!” Kumi didn’t hear Yuria’s call as she drove the car to the starting line, where the other cars lined up.
“Mou! That girl.” Yuria pouted while she’s walking to their camp. Akane put on the headset then opened the large briefcase, reveals its main function: holographic terminal. It has holographic touchscreen display with holographic keyboard. The screen displayed two separated GPS, one for Kumi’s location and one for their location. On the central screen is the status display, contains the current condition of Kumi’s car. Finally, a two video-feed displays which show the live-feed of the race, one showing Kumi and one on the road.
“
Kumi, can you hear us from here, over?” Akane said.
“Yup, loud and clear.” From the live stream, Kumi showed a thumbs up.
“
Ok. I know that you’re a seasonal driver, so we don’t have to tell you about the details of the race. Just watch out from the cops and try to survive or not being busted even after the race. Got it?”
“Got it!” Kumi lined her car alongside the other cars.
“
You already know about the S.T.O.R.M. Units so be careful if you ever have a chance to meet them. Over and out.” Akane’s last advice before disconnecting the video call.
‘
Hmmmm, S.T.O.R.M. Units ehh. Accordingly, they are the most fearful elite special police units, known for their usage of aggressive force to end high-speed chases and pursuits. What if they used that ‘thing’ to shutdown high-speed vehicles? If my suspicion is right, then I think I will use mine too.’ Kumi’s eyes now focused on the road.
“Let’s go.” Initially, Kumi stepped the gas and clutch pedal at the same time released the brake pedal and pushing down the handbrake, which causing the tires to skid and burnout before moving forward. The other cars followed the suit, which starts the race. All of the cars zoomed at high speed while trying to overtake each other.
On the main camp, several people started to cheer the racers. Yuria, Akane and Airi watch live image of the race. They saw Kumi’s car avoid civilian vehicles despite moving at high-speed.
“She’s good, Churi. Her driving techniques may be unique, but she’s slightly similar to Yuria when comes to fast shifts.” Airi commented.
“I can’t disagree with that. I may have greater experience at driving, but Yuria’s level is too far to reach.” Akane sighed.
“Oi! It’s not like I’m that good~! I’m not actually that good, you know.” Yuria complaint.
‘
Poor Yuria. She didn’t realize that her skills are far greater than ours. You really didn’t know that you possessed a unique talent. All the ace racers of AKB, NMB and HKT possessed that talent. Who knows, Kumi-san might have that talent too.’ Airi thought.
On the road, the Dodge Viper overtook two racing cars, turning the rank for her team in to first position. They still have 25 km away to the finish line. However, some of the participants gave up due that their car can’t handle the distance as well shortage of fuel.
“Time to maintain the rank until the finish line.” Kumi said. Until…
“
Dispatch, we have receive a call regards of the street race appeared near to them.”
“
Location and status, over?”
“
Racers have been spotted on Tomei Expressway in Toyokawa, Aichi. We’re trying to pull them out. Permission to initiate pursuit, over.”
“
Affirmative, you are authorized to initiate pursuit.”
“And this is where the fun starts.” Kumi saw two police-designed Nissan GT-R SpecV from her rear mirror.
“
Kumi, be careful! You’ve been chased by GT-R SpecV.” Akane said from Kumi’s two-way radio.
“I know, and this will be a very rough ride.” Kumi said.
“This is Aichi Prefectural Police Department! Pull over!” Despite the police’s warning, the racers still didn’t stop.
“
All units, you have authorized to use force to take down the suspects.”
“
10-4 (Understood)” The two police started to ram the racer’s cars.
“Oh really?” When one of the police cars ready to sideslam Kumi’s car, Kumi pressed both clutch and brake pedals simultaneously, causing the car decelerated avoiding the sideslam. Unfortunate for the officer, he slams through the railings causing the car to crash towards the wall.
“Not me, dude. Not me.” Kumi smirked.
The top teams watch the pursuit via their own satellite. The big three possessed state-of-the-art satellite system that it could be used for surveying the area, analysing the roads they take and locating police forces.
“She’s good, Sasshi.” Sakura said while watching from her laptop.
“I can see it. Maybe she’s better than you, Haruppi?” Rino teased Haruka.
“Shut up.” Haruka glared at Rino. The older girl saw Natsumi smirked.
“I can see that you’re in a good mood, Natsu.” Rino smiled.
“I can be sure that she’s there.” Natsumi said.
“Who?” Rino asked.
“That girl, the one that Natsumi stalked.” Sakura said.
“Oh, that elite police officer?”
“I really wonder why you are stalking her.” Haruka said.
“
Dispatch, I need someone chase this driver. My car has been totally damage.”
“
Affirmative, officer.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere from the gasoline station in Aichi, a girl went out from the convenient store bringing a paper bag of foods and drinks as she walked towards her ride that was currently being filled with fuel.
“
Any patrol units in Aichi respond, over.” The girl picked the radio.
“This is Moriyasu Madoka from S.T.O.R.M. Unit. I’m currently in Aichi right now. What’s the situation, over?” The girl said.
“
Ah, Ma’am Moriyasu. There’s a race coming from the Tomei Expressway. Right now, one of our units have totally damage and we need a backup to deal with them.”
“Ok, I’ll call the others. Get ready for everything as soon as possible. Over and out.” After that, Madoka pulled her phone and tried to call them.
“Hello, anyone who’s in Toyokawa, Aichi right now? Aside from me.” Madoka asked.
“
Well, I’m in Aichi. Currently having a break here. What happened?”
“Oh, Milky-san. Apparently there’s a race in the Tomei Expressway, not too far from my location.” Madoka said.
“
Oh really? Then two of us is enough. Unless Chiizu beside me will come too.” Miyuki said.
“
Nah, I’m still not done on my tuna sandwich here.” Umemoto Izumi, another S.T.O.R.M. Unit Interceptor, said from the background.
“Ja, later!” Then Madoka went to her police modified Audi R8 GT.
“Those lawbreakers. I’ll make sure you won’t race ever again.” Madoka angrily said. With a single press to the gas pedal, her car zoomed out at high speed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“One down, one to go.” Kumi said. She’s currently reached the 200 mph while avoiding the civilian cars.
“Nissan GT-R SpecV may be fast.” She saw another police car behind her car. The police officer attempted to ram the rear of her car. She responded by pushing further the gas pedal, allowing to her car to accelerate.
“But not fast enough, man.” Kumi smirked.
“My turn.” Kumi shifts the gear to 5th, causing her car to slightly slowed down, allowing the police car to overtook her.
“
Dispatch, the suspect slowed down his vehicle. I think he will surrender.”
“You think?” Right after she’s been overtook, Kumi instantly pressed the gas gear to make her car accelerate. Then, she activate the nitrous oxide boost to increase her car’s acceleration. With enough boost, Kumi rammed the police car, causing the latter to swerve sharply to the right. Then the police car suddenly crashed to the incoming civilian vehicle.
“Now it’s clear.” Suddenly, she heard another police sirens not far from her. “Or we don’t.” She saw a navy blue police car coming from right interchange in front of her, moving at the high speed. Kumi increased her car’s acceleration until the top speed to get away. Unfortunately, the police car appeared beside her.
“What the hell? Wait a second.” She inspected the police car. “Audi R8? And that stormy-like decal.” Suddenly, Akane appeared from her monitor.
“Kumi, what’s happening?”
“I managed to disable two police cars. However, another cop appeared in front of me. This thing is totally different from the others.” Kumi explained.
“Eh?”
“My car is on the top speed, and this cop managed to overtake me. By the way, I saw a stormy-like decal on the left side.”
“Stormy-like decal. Kumi, be careful! That’s the S.T.O.R.M. Unit Interceptor we’re talking about! They are totally different from the other cops you’ve met before.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
A police-modified blue Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce raged out on the road at high-speed. When she saw 24 cars moving past to the required speed limit, she flipped the on switch to the siren.
“Ne, Madoka. I saw 24 cars moving at high speed. What’s your status?” The girl asked.
“
Apparently, I’m currently chasing the racers.”
“Ok, I’ll take care the others here.”
“
Be careful, Milky.” Madoka said.
“No worries, they’re nothing like an ant to me.” Miyuki increased her car speed allowing to catch up with the racers.
“Showtime.” Miyuki rammed the rear side of the racer’s car, causing it to uncontrollably swerve and crashed to the metal fence. One of the racers tried to side slam her.
“Oh no, you don’t.” Miyuki then respond with a side slam, which the car recoiled away and crashed to the fence.
“Don’t underestimate us, you bastard cops!” One of the racers said. Suddenly, her car detected something.
“EMP lock-on signal? So these cars possessed some offensive technologies eh. However, you don’t have this aren’t you?” Miyuki pressed a red button beside the monitor.
“Aegis System, activate.” The monitor displays the Aegis in acronym as a start-up, then it displays eight icons, beside the GPS, containing the weapons. Then a Head-up Display appeared on her windshield.
“
Aegis Tech System, initialized.” An A.I. said from her car. Miyuki positioned her car right in front of the racer’s car, one that locked the EMP to her. Then she tapped the second icon.
“
Spike Strip deployed.” In an instant, a small case appeared below the rear of her car then expanded horizontally into a 100 cm metal barbs, sliding on the road. The racer saw the spike strip and tried to avoid it. However, it was too late as it expanded rapidly and already caught the tires, causing to deflate. Due to the sudden deflation of the tires, the car rotated many times and crashed.
“Really? That lock-on was so slow. Let me show you my EMP.” Miyuki tapped the first icon. Then a lock-on target, in shape of square, targeted the racer’s car, while it compressed and rotated at high speed. After locking-on, the racer’s car suddenly generated an electric discharge from the body that followed by uncontrollable swerve then crashed to the fence.
“Three-second lock-on, bastards.” Miyuki smirked.
-------------------------------------------------------------
“I can’t believe it. That cop in Lamborghini Murcielago, took down 24 racers easily.” Yuria said with shock face.
“This is the power of S.T.O.R.M. Units. This means Kumi is in great danger.” Akane frantically said.
“Mayuyu, that Murcielago. That cop used Aegis System.”
“She has the same surname as mine, Yuko-san.” Mayu said.
“Watanabe Miyuki, one of the S.T.O.R.M. Units, she drives a police-modified Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce.”
“Then Yagami Kumi is in real danger now.” Yuki said.
“Tsk. All boring. And I thought that Yagami is really strong.” Natsumi said.
“The probability of surviving from that pursuit is 1%.” Sakura said.
“That low probability? It means she still have no chance of escaping.” Haruka said.
“Ne, Sayanee. I don’t think that girl will not survive. Twenty police cops plus two S.T.O.R.M. interceptors are chasing to her.”
“Don’t underestimate her. I know that Yagami-san has a triumph card. I can feel it.” Sayaka said.
“Oh you’re kidding me. Right?” Twenty police cars appeared behind her while an Audi R8 still following her.
“That car already disabled 7 racing cars. Just how skilful are they.” Akane appeared on the monitor.
“
Kumi, you’re in highly great danger. You have to get out of there now!”
“Ne, Churi-san. I saw that Audi R8 released a spike strip.”
“
That’s part of their Aegis System.”
“Aegis System?” Kumi tilted her head.
“
Auxiliary Enforcement Ground Integrating Simulated Technological System, shortened for A.E.G.I.S. Tech System, or just Aegis System. It’s a set of cutting-edge auxiliary technologies that can be used as offensive weapons. Due to the complexity and large cost of this system, only S.T.O.R.M. Units and AKB, NMB, HKT and KKS team are capable of possessing those things. And when in the hands of professionals like those I’ve mentioned, this will be turned into a dangerous weapon. And that’s the reason why you need to get of there now.”
‘
As I thought, they really possessed that thing.’
“Ne, Churi. Do we have that Aegis System?” Kumi asked.
“
None. We can’t afford that technology. It’s three times more expensive than Maserati Quattroporte.”
“Then I think you already have one.” Kumi smirked.
“Eh?” This made Yuria, Akane and Airi looked at the monitor.
“Aegis System, activate.” A head-up display appeared on Dodge Viper’s windshield.
“
Aegis Tech System, initialized.” An A.I. from her car announced. Then the monitor displays eight icons beside the GPS.
“EHHHHHHHHHH?!?! KUMI HAS AEGIS SYSTEM?!?!”
