my next entry in my Twisted Metal: Small Brawl Series, and this one was really fun. I wanted to use Darkside's driver concept art that was never used and based the story on that. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Contestant #6: Darkside

Type: Semi-Truck

Class: Heavy

Special: Turbo-Ram - When pulled out, a dark aura surrounds the car, with the cabin windows glowing red, red smoke emanating from the bottom of the truck, and blood red exhaust coming from the Plastic Exhaust pipes. When activated, the car shoots forward with an unholy force, capable of mowing down any car in its path.

Driver: Jimmy Ash

Bio: If you ask anyone anything about Jimmy Ash, you will get the same answer.... nothing. Jimmy is a tall, almost lanky boy with a demon mask that he never removes. He never says a word to anyone and never seems to participate in anything. Most kids haven't even seen him class, it's almost like he's not there half the time. He doesn't seem to care about the other students, usually just ignoring them most of the time. People who do attempt to talk him are simply stared with a deadpan look until they leave, often with some kind of fear in their eyes. When asked about it, the kids reply that there was something off about him, something evil...inhuman. Many kids even reported having nightmares and horrifying visions after being stated by him.
Recently however, one thing about has seemed to come up.....he seems to constantly watch Calypso. Whenever Calypso is doing his bullying, pulling pranks, or even just eating, Jimmy is there. Just watching. Never saying a word, never making a move, just sitting and staring. There is something about Calypso that always has his attention.
When Calypso announced his game, Jimmy seemed to show some interest, and the next day he showed up with....that thing. A massive blue Semi-Truck. Nobody knew anything about it, hell no one even knew its name until a kid saw Jimmy write down its name on a piece of paper......DARKSIDE, a truck just as mysterious as it's driver . When curious competitors asked about the trucks power source and weapons, he gave that same stare until the driver left. Just like Jimmy, there was something unnatural about the truck. While most cars were powered by gas or batteries, Darkside's power source seemed unknown. Hell, when driving he doesn't seem to driving it. It's almost like truck itself is alive. No one knows how he does it. All that is known is that in battle, Darkside is merciless, and it seems Jimmy wants to win at any cost.

Ending: Calypso is sitting on his tire throne as the gates open. Calypso perks up and stands. "Congratulations, you won my game. What can I get yo...."
He stops dead in his tracks when he sees Darkside roll in, with Jimmy in tow.
"Hey, you're that creepy kid who's always stalking me! You won!?" Calypso had a hint of shock and fear in his voice when he spoke
Jimmy simply stared at him.
Calypso, regaining his composure, spoke. "Well, you won my game. So, what the Hell do you want?"
Jimmy raised his left hand, pointing at Calypso's hand, specifically the wish granting ring on it.
"The ring? That's what you wanted this whole time?"
Jimmy gave a single slow nod.
"Well, TOUGH! Finders keepers creep. The ring is staying with me"
As Calypso said this, Jimmy walked forward, for the first time showing some kind of emotion with a slight squint in his eyes. He held his hand out once again, his open palm facing upward wanting the ring in his hand
"I told you NO! This ring is mine you freak! Now make another wish or get the HELL out of here".
As Calypso said this, Jimmy slowly raised his hand toward his face. As he did, a slight red aura seemed to form around Jimmy, and his eyes seemed to glow a bright red. Calypso for the first time seemed scared, wondering what the hell was going on. As Jimmy formed his hand into a finger snap position, a horrible, low, inhuman sound emanated from his body, and for the first time ever.....Jimmy spoke.
"so be it...."
**SNAP**
As Jimmy snapped his fingers, a bright light shined beneath Calypso. When Calypso could see again, he could see what appeared to be a red circle form around him. It was at this moment that Darkside came to life and drove into the circle, using its massive tires to form a pentagram before driving back to Jimmy's side. The bright light immediately turned into a bright purple and blood red aura, as a portal formed beneath Calypso's feet. Calypso tried tried to run, but some force prevented him from leaving. As he panicked for his life, large purple hands, seemingly made out of some unholy energy, burst from the ground and grabbed Calypso and dragged him into the air.
"OKOKOK YOU CAN HAVE THE STUPID RING, JUST PUT ME DOWN PLEASE GOD SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!"
Jimmy simply gave a low chuckle as Calypso begged for his life, before the hands began to drag him down into the portal. As Calypso's horrifying scream echoed throughout the sky, Jimmy looked at Darkside, as the truck turned its wheels without controller input, as if looking back at Jimmy.
"We got what we came for Black, it's time to go home".
The truck gave a quick beep in response, as if responding to its masters words.
Calypso horrifying screams continued as Jimmy and Darkside entered the portal, disappearing into its light. With a final flash of light and a final echo of Calypso's cries, the portal was gone, with only a puff of smoke remaining. The junkyard was quiet, as if nothing happened.
No one saw what transpired that night, and neither Calypso nor Jimmy were ever heard from again. To this day, what happened to them remains a mystery.
