The MASK of Miracle City
Chapter 01: The Mean City Streets
All WAS Quiet In the City Streets Of Miracle City.
And By "WAS", I Mean: All Was Quiet...Until The MASKMOBILE Starting Tearing Through Town.
The Green Car Raced Through The Nightly Streets As Maniacal As It's CRAZED DRIVER.
It Didn't Take Long For Several Police Squad Cars To Start Chasing Him...Led By CHIEF SUAREZ.
The Mask Was Driving With The Top Down, Letting The Strong Winds Blow In his Ginger Orange Hair He Was Wearing Shades And Was Grinning His Usual Wide Smile While Singing To Himself
"CAMP TOWN RACERS SING THIS SONG: DOO-DA! DOO-DA!
GONNA GO RACING ALL NIGHT LONG: OH, THE DOO-DA DAY!
I'M GONNA RUN ALL NIGHT!, I'M GONNA RUN ALL DAY!, I'M GONNA RUN, HOO-RAY!
Mask's Singing Was Cut Short As Gunshots Rang Out.
Mask Looked Into His Rearview Mirror To See Chief Suarez Chasing Him.
"MASK!
SURRENDER AT ONCE, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!
"OOOOH!
THE COPS WANNA RACE!
Mask Presses a Button, Causing Giant Turbos To Appears On The Rear Of The Car.
Mask Then Spins Around, Changing Into a Yellow NASCAR Uniform.
"Heads Up, People...
This Car Has Only TWO SPEEDS: Fast And "WOO!, WHAT WAS THAT!"
The Tubos Revved Up Like a Spaceship.
"ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET...
ONE FOR THE MONEY, TWO FOR THE SHOW, THREE TO GET-THE-HECK-OUTTA-HERE...
And, HERE...WE...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Turbos Start, Shooting Flames From The Funnels Frying The Squad Cars And Permitting The Mask To Escape.
Chief Suarez Growls In ANger As The Maskmobile Speeds Away.
"I REALLY Hate That Hombre.
