Two zooms can be heard as two blurs raced across the empty long road that led to another city.
Following those two blurs, we can see that it's… Ethan and John!! But… they're on cars?? Why???
Ethan was on a yellow, glowing and low sports car that had two lightning shapes on the back that both faced sideways, and the end was opposite to where Ethan was speeding towards.
John was on a red, glowing monster truck, the monster truck had REAL fire on the ceiling, but it was still fast, the pipe on the back was literally spitting fire.
They both passed a sign that had "new York city, 50 km" written on it.
Ethan and John: "DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE BUT I STILL SPEED, SEVER YEARS ARE ALL I NEED!!"
They were singing the latest meme song which was about a "accidentally" man running over a deer.
Ethan got too excited and sped up even more and the car outsped John's truck
John yelled to Ethan but Ethan didn't hear him over the air running past. It was then that Ethan looked to his sides that he realized that he outsped John.
So he stopped the car and waited for John to catch up. After half a minute, John's truck rushed past Ethan, and Ethan then drove the car, it sped up to John's truck.
Ethan: "Slow poke!"
John: "You have superspeed, that's unfair!"
Ethan: "You do know that fire is literally accelerated atoms!"
John fell silent… thinking about it… He's right! The faster an atom vibrates, the hotter it is! Which means that he can literally have superspeed!(if he knew how)
John just made the flames on the back of his truck bigger, the truck moved past Ethan's car, Ethan smirked and made the car go to the same speed and John's truck.
A random car that was just nearby swerved into a halt as the car and truck passed it, the sounds that came from it were a swoosh and a boom.
They left the desert and entered the Forest, Ethan slowed down, and sent a hand like tentacle to catch John and also slow him down.
Ethan: "Dude… turn down the flames, it's a forest…"
John: "Do I have to?"
Ethan: "If you don't, I will drag you along the floor, While I speed in my car."
John sighed and made the fire turn off, they were going at approximately 400 kilometers per hour. Even Ethan was going this slow… they were at 1000 kmph before they slowed down(this is fiction, I don't know how they didn't lose control).
John slowed down on turned and serves while Ethan drifted, sometimes hitting a tree or wall, he wasn't a good driver at all.
There was a sharp turn that they had to go down, Ethan tried to slow or at least drift into it and slid away into the empty abandoned path that was blocked by signs saying "closed road, 2019".
The signs exploded as Ethan crashed into them, the car drifting across the dirt road, spinning uncontrollably.
He sent out a hand like tentacle and used it to grab onto the ground and let friction do it's thing.
The car finally stopped after approximately 100 meters of uncontrollable drifting.
Ethan walked out of the car as it disappeared, he shook his head, the world slightly spinning, good thing that his superspeed made his balance things in his ear stronger…
John drove to Ethan and stopped, laughing at him, he was about to fall down before he accidentally made his truck disappear, he fell to the ground as he didn't even get chance to go down before it disappeared.
Ethan laughed as John got up and rubbed his back, Ethan was about fall down but he was able to hold himself.
John: "Yeah I deserved it, hahaha!"
Ethan: "Karma, dude… Karma."
Ethan sighed with amusement as he looked around, they were in an empty dirt path, and around them was forest and more forest.
Ethan took out his phone and checked it… weird… the GPS says that there is a way through this abandoned path…
Ethan: "Guess we are now horror protagonists!"
John: "Nah bruh, pretty sure we are The antagonists, because ain't no way a killer will look at us and say, 'hey those guys are scared cats.'"
Ethan nodded as he hopped a few times in place before zipping, John stood there before using his flames to fly and catch up to Ethan.
The trees flew past, air shifting, he was able to barely catch up Ethan, he saw that Ethan was wearing his black suit. When did he get the chance to wear it?? Never mind…
John: "You really love that suit huh?"
Ethan: "Yeah! It's cool! I mean, isn't it??"
John: "What?!"
The air rushing past was too loud for John to be able to hear Ethan, it was probably a sarcastic question. Guess it's lucky that Ethan was able to get super hearing from his power set.
They passed an abandoned house… it was the usual creepy house that might have a psychopath hiding in it.
Ethan drifted to a stop before running back to the front of the house, he stared at it, John flew back in the scene and floated down to the ground.
John: "Haunted house?"
Ethan: "Haunted house…"
They looked at each other and smirked, they walked to the front door and knocked, the door shifted open with a creak…
They walked in, the floors creaking with every step… the house was tidy, a stark contrast to the outside.
Ethan: "Hello?! Any cannibalistic serial killer in this house?!"
John: "A ghost would be good enough!"
Ethan and John looked at each other before deciding to split up, Ethan walked to the kitchen where there is a strange rotten smell.
Ethan: "Ew…"
Flies where everywhere, from the wooden ground to the wooden sink which was slowly dripping water…
Drip, drip, drip… Ethan just lightly smacked the sink handle and it stopped. He sighed as he turned and walked out the kitchen, there wasn't much technology, except the fridge that looked like it came from the 80s.
Ethan: "this house is so abandoned… they could've at least shut off the water."
Ethan got curious and opened the fridge, only to find it empty, nothing… EVEN THE FRIDGE DOOR CREAKED?! The person living here must be very irresponsible…
Meanwhile, John was walking around the second floor, checking out the bedrooms,and they were either very dusty or empty.
The bathroom was a standard one but it had become a sickly yellow from how much it wasn't taken care of, and also how old it was.
John: "I bet Ethan would love this bathroom. Hahaha!"
John walked down the stairs and back at the front door. Ethan was already waiting there, tapping his foot onto the ground.
Ethan: "Found anything?"
John just shook his head, a door next to them creaked open, they looked at each other and went into the room and went down the stairs.
It was a standard basement, but with dirt all over the ground, John saw a small shining string and pulled it, and at that moment a light lit up the basement.
Ethan and John looked around and saw a man holding a knife, he looked in his 60s.
Old man: "New food at last!"
He turned to them to reveal his smiling face which had yellow and black teeth, eyes bloodshot, hair sticking out in all directions, a scar across his face.
Lightning struck nearby, adding the intensity, but Ethan chuckled and laughed.
Ethan: "How was that?"
John: "You could've added it a little bit earlier, would've been more suspenseful."
Ethan nodded before they both continued snickering.
Old man: "You two are still laughing? I have my own dignity so I will kill you two before you two make more fun of me."
The man ran to them and attempted to slash them with the knife. They both took a step back, John caught his hand as he tried to do another slash.
John: "Bro thinks he can hurt me."
Old man: "let go!"
Ethan took out his phone and showed it to the old man
Ethan: "You know what this is?? This is a PHOOONE. Say it with me a PHOOONE."
John: "Dude… What are you doing?"
Ethan: "Rage baiting."
John chuckled before pulling the old man aside, he stumbled to the side but caught himself on a wall.
He once again tried to run to John with his knife towards him before Ethan appeared between them, the knife dropping from the man's hand as it made contact with his suit.
It clanked a few times before stopping, the old man took a few steps back before taking a few steps back and running up the stairs.
He ran full speed, past the front door and to and old car that looked like it was also from the 80s.
He tried to start the car but it wouldn't making that sound where the engine works overtime to start but not actually starting.
John came out slowly walking towards the car, the old man panicked even more, just as John almost reached the car, it started and the old man FLOORED it.
It screeched as it drove and sped away, Ethan appeared beside John, chuckling.
Ethan: "angry max style chase?"
John nodded, he walked to the dirt road and the flaming monster truck burned into existence, John got into it, driving towards the old man.
Ethan caught up and got onto the roof, creating an electric drum and banging it.
Then both John and Ethan began yell-singing.
John and Ethan: "DRIVING IN MY TRUCK, RIGHT AFTER A JOKE, HEY THAT BUMP IS SHAPED LIKE A CAR…"
And so on as they sped towards the slow old car that was barely maintaining itself. I'd pee myself if I was that old man…
(writers note: this is my longest chapter yet… 1.6k words, new milestone! Here is a song to celebrate: "driving in my car, right after a beer, hey that bump is shaped like a deer, dui? Why don't you just die?")
