TMAlliance Shadow Story.

[#HEEL Dark Lord]

Nightshade

Vehicle Name/Type: Nightshade / Convertible
Driver Name: Raven


After getting revenge on the boys who killed Kelly, Raven moved on with her life. using the voodoo dolls she got as part of her prize, she became a hero to the city of Midtown, an urban legend. Some say she drives around in a hearse that is filled with the souls of the dead, killing the bad people of the city who killed them. But her last act of heroism was killing a woman who was terrorizing people. Her hearse was destroyed in the process, and Raven lost contact with the dead that very night. But she will find out why she is forced to do these tasks, and in the process, learn some shocking secrets of Twisted Metal's history.

Special Weapon: Eject Gunner

This Special Weapon shows off Raven's powers, as her seat rises out of the vehicle. Watch out, she has a machine gun, with bullets aiming to dish out damage to anyone she fires them at.

INTRO:

Raven: I may have lost my old vehicle, but I haven't lost my purpose.

(camera pans to a dark graveyard. We see it is in front of the gates. It slams through as Raven speaks again.)

Raven: Ever since that night, I found my true purpose, my way of living.

(camera stops to see Raven kneeling down to a gravestone praying.)

Raven: Good thing the feds think I am nothing more than some urban legend. Why would they try to arrest a person that doesn't exist?

(camera pans close to the gravestone, where it has the name "Kelly" carved on it.)

Raven: Kelly should be at peace now that those jack-offs are dead. But I have wierd feeling.

(camera fades to black.)

Raven: And that was when he came.

(camera shows Calypso behind Raven.)

Calypso: Hello, Raven. So nice to see you.

(Raven turns to see Calypso.)

Raven: Calypso? What do you want!?

Calypso: I am here to help you like I did last time.

Raven: Listen, I don't why I need to be in your stupid game again. Even if I agreed, I can't My hearse was blown into a million pieces after the last creep I took down.

(Calypso looks at her in a sad look.)

Calypso: Raven, I heard about that. Fortunatly, I am glad to say I am providing you with a new vehicle for you to ride this year.

(Camera pans to the gates to see two of Calypso's guards ride in with the convertible, remodeled with some of the parts and weapons from TM:B's Raven.)

Calypso: So, do we have a deal? If you don't know what to wish for, then just think about during the contest.

Raven: Okay, I'm in.

(We see Nightshade speed out of the graveyard.)

Raven: I don't what to wish for, but he did say I could think about it, and that makes sense.


MIDDLE:

(We see Nightshade speeding through a highway.)

Raven: Okay, I made it this far. I just have to survive a few more battles and I will...

?: You'll what, human? Finish your contribution to Calypso this year?

(Camera pans to in front of Nightshade to see the female securitybot from Rouge trip. Her arm is missing and she is all bloodied.

Raven: You again? I thought I killed you the last time we met.

Nightshade: Stupid girl, I am half machine! I won't die that easily! Now, I will have my revenge.

(Soon, a shovel is seen stabbed through Nightshade's chest, black oil spilling through the area. She falls dead, revealing Mortimer as he is from TM2.)

Mortimer: So, you are the perfect canidate for my former job? Perfect.

Raven: Who are you? What do you want, old man?

Mortimer: The name's Mortimer, a former hitman for the dead. I have a connection to the souls who were killed by evil people. Souls like your friend Kelly.

Ravren: My god, how do you know my friend?

(Mortimer grins.)

Mortimer: You used to have a connection to the souls as well. Until this cybernetic bitch destroyed your old hearse. You see, your old vehicle was how the souls came to you.

Raven: But how do I get them back?

Mortimer: Do not worry, my child. They will come back. They have hired you to help get revenge on a person of interest.

Raven: And that is...

Mortimer: Now, if I said that, he would get too suspicious, now would he?

(Mortimer disappears as a portal opens.)

Mortimer's Voice: Do not worry, my child, all will be revealed when you win the contest.

(Nightshade is seen driving into the protal as the camera fades to black.)

ENDING:

(Nightshade speeds through the remains of Washington, D.C. and meets with Calypso at the remains of the White House.)

Calypso: Congratulations, Raven, you have won Twisted Metal and can now claim your prize.

Raven: My prize? Wow... come to think of it, I forgot what I wanted.

Calypso: Forgotten? Why not wish you'd remember?

Raven: No way. That's a waste of a wish.

Calypso: Well, you're a smart one. Don't worry, I'll stay here until you remem..

(Suddenly, the trunk of Nightshade is seen rocking.)

Calypso: What was that?

Raven: What was what?

Calypso: Something just moved inside the back trunk of your vehicle.

(Calypso pulls out a gun and opens the trunk. We see Mortimer stabbing Calypso in the chest.)

Mortimer: Ah, thought you could cheat death now, did you?

Calypso: What the..... how....

Mortimer: Me and the girl are connected. It was easy for me to track you down and finish the job.

Calypso No... this..is. imposs...

(Calypso falls dead as Raven looks down at him.)

Raven: God... why? Why did he have to die?

Mortimer: Because the souls of the dead wanted it. The souls were once good people, who never did anything wrong.

(camera pans to the vehicles of Twisted Metal 1 running them down.)

Mortimer: But when Calypso came, the drivers of his Twisted Metal competition ran them down.

(camera cuts to Mortimer.)

Mortimer; But with your help, I finally finished this mission.

Raven: And what about me? What do I get?

Mortimer: Do not fret, Calypso may not be able to give you a prize, but I can give you a prize myself.

(Mortimer opens a portal.)

Mortimer: I have seen your works avenging the dead of Midtown. Now you can have my job.

(Raven enters the portal to see Kelly decked in gear.)

Raven: Kelly? Is that really you?

Kelly: You bet. Mortimer gave me this kick-ass job where I killed these evil people.

(Raven and Kelly hugged each other.)

Mortimer: Ah, what a happy reunion. They will do a good job.

PROLOGUE: ::::As the camera fades in from black, a very dirty street is
shown. It appears to be dusk. The sun is shown setting a a reddish purple glow
fills the evening sky. The camera pans down to the sidewalk where a wind is
seen lightly blowing trash and garbage around. A soft and feminine voice is
heard speaking.::::

VOICE: They say time heals all wounds.

::::Suddenly a large black bird appears to fly down to the street where the
trash and garbage is lightly being tossed around the wind. The bird then puts
one of it's claws on a piece of torn paper, to stop it from moving. The
camera shows a close-up of the birds face. It's head tilts slightly as it's
big eyes blink several times, and it's mouth slightly opens, then closes.::::

VOICE: I wish I could meet the person who said that corny crap!

::::The bird quickly takes flight in the air with the piece of paper in it's
claws. The camera follows it. The bird soars thru the sky gracefully. It
flies thru what looks like several building under construction. Several look
many,many stories high. The bird starts to circle an old run down clock
tower.::::

VOICE: To ask him if he's ever lost anybody he cared about!

::::The bird then flies into a small crack near one of the numbers on the
face of the clock. It gently flutters to a small perch inside a very
dim-light room. The camera pans around the room very slowly. The room is
light with several candle-obras light. Their are all sorts of strange
markings and language on the walls. On one of the walls hangs a picture of
two young women, one has short snow white hair, the other has long jet black
hair. Both seem to be smiling at the camera. Underneath the picture the words
"Best Friends Forever". written on the picture frame while two white candles
burn on each side. Underneath the picture on a small shelf are two crudely
made dolls. Both have lot's of pins sticking out of them, but one is covered
in a red liquid and laying down and the other has a large nail sticking out
of it's head.:::::

VOICE: Ask that asshole if time heals losing your best Friend.

::::The bird lands on a small perch near the middle of the room. It then
starts flapping it's wings in place very rapidly making a lot of noise. The
camers then pans to a few feet in front of the perch. A tall figure dressed
in a long black flowing gown is seen turning around. Her face and skin is
very pale, yet she is very beautiful. her eyes are dark, and a golden ankh
with a red gem encrusted in the head is seen hanging from her petite neck.
She smiles very warmly upon looking at the bird. She gracefully reaches for
the paper the bird is holding.::::

RAVEN: Well, hello Pathos. I had forgotten that you had left my Friend. My,
my, my what is it you've brought back my old Friend? Something to help build
your nest, hmmmm?

::::She gently takes the paper from the bird then she unfolds it. her eyes go
wide with shock and surprise. Then a wide smile comes across her lovely
features as she almost starts to giggle. She looks at the bird with the look
of an excited school girl.:::::

RAVEN: Thank You! Thank you so much my old Friend. I should have known you of
all beings would help me find the means to help me with my quest! All I now
have to do is win a game and she will be back with us again Pathos!

::::The bird starts to flap it's wings again and caw very loudly, then stops
and bows it's head toward Raven as she walks past dropping the piece of torn
news paper to the ground as she walks out of the room. The camera then pans
to a close-up of the paper that reads in bold print "CAYLPSO'S CONTEST DRAWS
NEAR AGAIN!" The camera cuts to outside the clock tower. A large boarded up
hole starts to fade to reveal darkness as two headlights suddenly flicker to
life as a heavily modified Toyota spider rolls out with Raven behind the
wheel.::::

RAVEN: This time I'll see we're reunited, no matter what.



MIDDLE: ::::The camera shows a police paddy wagon and the spider
fighting it out. Both have taken considerable damage. The spider's hood opens
a little and a card with some sort of drawing on it is seen spinning toward the
wagon it hit and is implanted on the hood with loud a CHING noise. The wagon
stops and puts a targeting laser on the spydas as the police call out.::::

POLICE: YOU! YOUNG LADY! KILL THE ENGINE AND SLOWLY WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR
WITH YOU HANDS UP!

RAVEN: This is for pretending Kelly's death was just an "accident".

::::Raven raises her hands above her head and then starts softly chanting.
Her eyes take on an eerie red glow and so does the jewel on the ankh wrapped
around her neck. The camera cuts to show a close-up of the card that's stuck
in the wagon. A large skeleton holding a very large sickle is shown. The word
"DEATH" is shown written in Gothic letters. It's eyes start to glow red.
Suddenly the camera pans out to show the "card" explode into red flames and
smoke. suddenly the skeletal figure is seen standing on the hood of the
wagon. It raises the scythe back as the police scream.::::

POLICE: WHAT THE?

::::The skeleton swings the sickle forward and cleaves the wagon in two. The
police scream as the wagon explodes. KAAAA-BOOOOOOOOM!!! A piece of it flies
thru the air and hits the spider and knocks Raven out cold.:::::

RAVEN: When I was out I couldn't help but to think about why I re-entered
this stupid contest.

::::The camera fades to show the scar on Raven's arm. Then it fades again to
show Raven stooped over a large book. She seems to be thumbing thru the pages
franticly. Their is a bright flash of light, Kelly is shown peacefully laying in a coffin. Then another flash of light shows Raven's face with tears running down her cheek. Her mascara is starting to leave black lines down her face as she cries.::::

RAVEN: I had hoped to bring Kelly back to life thru a spell or ritual.

::::Camera shows Raven standing in a circle of candles with the ankh cutting
Kelly's name into her arm again. She seems to be chanting and re-opening the
old wound. The candles flame began to get higher but soon die back down.As Raven falls to the ground crying and pounding the ground with her fist out of frustration::::

RAVEN: My powers weren't strong enough. So I decided I would try calypso's
game again. If I couldn't bring Kelly back, maybe he could. But I can't help
but to wonder what that kooky old man Mortimer wanted when he supposedly
warned me about using calypso.

::::The camera fades to show the previous fight. Raven driving the spider
explosions and gunfire are seen all around her. Suddenly the camera cuts to
the inside of the car where the radio starts to glow a faint green, as
Mortimer's voice is calling out,:::::

MORTIMER: He's not going to give you what you want child. He just used you
and the others last year. He has no use for you know. You should not trust
him. Leave him to us child. We will deal with him.

::::A scowl comes across Raven's features as she looks down at the radio.::::

RAVEN: I don't know what powers are tricks you're up to old man, but I killed
your partner in the blue car earlier and now it's your turn, POPS! Don't be
trying to sweet talk me out winning either. You have no idea what it's like,
Besides, I just got rid of my real father and I don't need someone trying to take his place.


::::The camera shows the hearse drive past the spider as Raven quickly pushes
a button and a tarot card is shown flying thru the air and hitting the
hearse sticking into it. The hearse stops, as Raven is seen raising her hands
and chanting The hearse's window slides down as Mortimer looks at Raven and
calls out,::::

MORTIMER: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR CHILD!

::::As the card explodes and the skeleton appears, Mortimer is shown
smiling.:::

MORTIMER: Maybe next year.

::::The skeleton swings the sickle and the hearse explodes. As it does the
camera quickly cuts back to the present ere Raven is shown waking up behind
the wheel with a startle.:::::

RAVEN: I wonder what the creepy old man meant? Surely Calypso won't dare
twist what I really wanted, would he?

::::The camera shows the spider speeding off.::::



EPILOGUE: ::::The camera shows Raven standing in the theater in front of Calypso's throne.::::

RAVEN: I had done what I set out to do. Now it was time for a reunion.

CALYPSO: Congratulations Raven, now I take it you would like for me to bring your Friend Kelly back from the grave perhaps?

RAVEN: No.

CALYPSO: ::::surprised look coming across his features:::: What? When you contacted me about re-entering this year you specifically said you wanted me to bring Kelly back. A task I can accomplish I can assure you of.

RAVEN: It's not that I don't want Kelly back Calypso, it's just I want to be the one to bring her back.

::::A wicked sneer rips across calypso's features as he starts laughing out loud.::::

CALYPSO: You act like you suddenly don't trust me Raven, has someone told you something?

RAVEN: Let's just say I want to absolutely make sure nothing goes wrong Calypso, you can take whatever you will from that, I personally don't care.

CALYPSO: So tell me then, what is it you desire?

RAVEN: Calypso, as my prize I demand you increase my wiccan powers tenfold!

CALYPSO: An excellent choice Raven, an excellent choice.

::::Calypso spreads his arms and red lightning sparks and snaps between them then the screen flashes very bright white. When the light fades it shows Raven standing in an old cemetery in front of a mausoleum. Their are several candles on the ground. She is standing in the middle of some arcane symbol. She raises her hands in the air and starts to chant when a familiar voice calls out from behind.::::

VOICE: I see you didn't take my advice child.

::::Raven whirls around to see who is behind her. A look of shock and terror comes across her face as the camera pans over her shoulder to reveal Mortimer standing a few feet behind her. He is holding a long silvered cane of sorts with all sorts of strange writing on it. Their is also a large crow that seems very battered and bleeding perched on his shoulder. The crow hisses and caws at Raven.::::

RAVEN: This can't be! You're dead! I watched you die myself!

MORTIMER: ::::shakes head:::: You mortals think in such two dimensions child. You have much to learn.

RAVEN: So, you come back to finish what we started on the battlefield, old man?

MORTIMER: No child, we are above petty vendetta's. ::::looks at the crow:::: At least most of us. We shall have that which we seek, ::::looks at ominous blank spot on the cane:::: all in due time.

RAVEN: So why are you here then?

MORTIMER: To offer help child. You seem to have much potential, if you don't let your foolish pride be your undoing child.

RAVEN: LOOK OLD MAN! I've had it with your riddles and your lame attempts at pick up lines. You had better just get out of here and let me be or I'll make sure you won't be able to come back, No matter how "two dimensional" you claim I think!

MORTIMER: ::::shakes head:::: Then by all means proceed child. I can assure you we will meet again in another time and place.

::::Mortimer slowly is shown walking away. As soon as he is out of sight Raven then pulls out a book of matches and lights the candles on the ground. She then raises her hands above her head and starts chanting. The ankh around her neck breaks free from its chain and starts spinning as the flames from the candles start to rise and get bigger. Raven's chanting picks up it's pace as her eye start to glow an eerie green color and the candles start producing a green fog. The ankh spins faster and faster as ravens chanting goes faster and faster, until the green fog covers the entire cemetery floor. Then suddenly the ankh explodes and the candles go out as Raven is quickly knocked to the ground. The fog quickly dissipates as Raven then slowly climbs back to her feet. In front of her the mausoleum door slowly creeks open. Raven looks with fear and excitement mixed across her face. Suddenly a beautiful woman with short blond hair wearing a gown is seen slowly stumbling out. Raven quickly rushes to her.::::

RAVEN: KELLY!?!? IS IT REALLY YOU?

::::The figure looks at Raven then slowly speaks.::::

KELLY: R...Ra...Raven? where am I? how long was I asleep?

RAVEN: Thank god! it really is you! ::::tears of joy start welling in ravens eyes.:::: No time to explain. I had better get you back.

KELLY: The dock, the dock, the last thing I remember was you and I on the dock.

RAVEN: That's right! Those bastards pushed you off and you drowned. Now I brought you back.

KELLY: Brought me back?!? How?!?!

::::Suddenly a scuffling noise is heard to the girls right. They turn to see a shadow slowly move out of sight. They pick up their pace walking.::::

RAVEN: I used Calypso to boost my spell casting powers and then cast a spell to bring YOU back.

::::The scuffling noise is heard again this time much closer.::::

KELLY: What was that?

RAVEN: I know what it is. YOU CAN COME OUT MORTIMER! DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO WHAT I TOLD YOU EARLIER?!?!

::::Mortimer again steps out from behind an over sized grave. He looks at the two women and smiles.::::

MORTIMER: I could ask the same of you child. Calypso did increase your powers didn't he?

RAVEN: ::::Takes a very defensive stance in front of Kelly:::: Yes he did, and your about to see how powerful he made me!

::::Suddenly two figures are shown lurching from the shadows toward the women. Kelly looks and then screams. Raven soon follows.::::

MORTIMER: Yes child, perhaps a little too powerful!!!!

::::The camera quickly cuts to show the two figures that are lurching toward the women. Both appear to be young clean cut men in nice suits, except both their eyes have been apparently sewn shut as they cry.:::::

BOYS: M...MU...ST K...KILL T...HHE WI...WI..TCHES!!!!

::::The boys quickly overtake Raven and Kelly as Raven is seen frantically starting to chant, the screen goes black and Calypso's laugh is heard. The camera quickly cuts to the TWISTED METAL BLACK 2: Guilty As Charged title screen appears. Then it cuts to show a Montague of clips from all the fanfics here from TMA as the credits roll and Kittie's "Charlotte" plays.::::


THE END??
