Hellcat was enduring an epic clash against Kara Shindo, the Japanese drift champion making things very difficult for her as she searches for a way past, Kara noticing how much better she was performing wouldn't give an inch.
"I'm glad I chose the Mazda, Kara is so difficult to pass" Hellcat threw her car around several corners but couldn't find an opening.
Kara, very stoic, doesn't give any weaknesses to anyone, it's any wonder she's an emperor.
Their duel was coming to an end when Hellcat nailed an outside drift on Kara winning by only inches, Hellcat was glad to win but felt that Kara was holding back.
Kara indicated to go to the car park as she wanted to talk.
After grabbing a coke the two met, Hellcat demanded some answers.
"What gives Dragon Lady? Am I not good enough to go all out against?" Hellcat looking pissed off.
Kara just snatches Hellcat's jacket off her then feels around her scarred shoulder, Hellcat was surprised not to feel pain.
"You've changed, whatever you've been doing, you are clearly better now, is this because of Joel leaving or are you done running?" Says Kara in an intimidating yet sexy voice.
Hellcat just blushes as she puts her jacket back on, "you still haven't answered me?"
"I do not care for a tournament arranged by a childish gamer, but if you need a reason, the balance of the Highway is at risk" Kara getting to the point.
"I'm not good enough to be ranked Emperor so why is it my problem?" Hellcat asked.
"Lisa is a traitor and Dave Dreamer just defeated one of my teammates with an unusual electric car" Kara showing the social media post.
Hellcat looked pissed off looking at the footage.
"I have no proof of Lisa being a traitor, her car taste is suspicious, so it's likely she's being funded from the outside, we both know that's not illegal, as for Dave Dreamer, he's doing advertisement for that toy store in Gracies, also not illegal" Hellcat demanding more proof.
"We suspect that Dave Dreamer is in possession of a car that never needs refuelling or recharging, as for Lisa we suspect that the Ramirez syndicate is funding her" Kara finishes her drink while Hellcat crushed her can.
"That car was built by a toy maker, you really think that Alice McCoy is that good of an engineer to create the first fuel less car? Knowing Dave he'll get bored of that car after a week and pack it away like the thirty other cars he owns! Lisa, I'll leave it up to the tournament to sort out, if she gets knocked out by an Emperor she'll be exposed, failing that, I'll deal with her myself" couldn't tell who Hellcat is more pissed off at.
Kara finished her cigarette "I'll try and keep the other Emperors calm, especially Warhammer, but time is short, if you don't deal with this, a civil war will start, and it'll be bloody" Kara leaves Hellcat at the carpark.
Hellcat got back into her own car, she winced when she felt her scar open again, she looked over a few phone numbers and clicked on Steve.
"Steve, I'm ready for that treatment"
