JACK
It looked like the Neonspeedster is over there in the sand.

Papses truck stops.

PAPS
Where exactly?
β© Reply
JACK
Over there...
β© Reply
Jack points at the Neonspeedster. Papses truck gets closer to the edge. Paps sees the Neonspeedster and the kids. Dani and Moria see him seeing them.
β© Reply
MORIA
Oh no indeed.

CUT TO:
Papses truck lowers the cargo area down to the kids. We can see on the background other teams trucks are unpacking their cars. RedKiss, DarkShadow, Underground, PoorCharlie and Just3000.

PAPS

Moria and Dani go out the car and...

PAPS
With the Neonspeedster.

MORIA
I'm a kid I gonna break it.
β© Reply
PAPS
You drove it all the way to here without a scratch. Do it.
β© Reply
Moria and Dani sit back into the Neonspeedster and drive into the cargo area.
β© Reply
Paps looking back at Jack.
β© Reply
PAPS
They're in, Jack.
β© Reply
Jack presses something on the tablet in the cabin and the cargo area closes and rises up. Jack drives the truck a bit forward and lowers the cargo down again. Opening it and revealing Neonspeedster with Moria and Dani inside. But this time up on top.
β© Reply
Moria drives out.
β© Reply
PAPS
You've lost, get out.
β© Reply
Moria and Dani are going out of the car and very scared of what going to happen.
β© Reply
DANI
Don't hit me.
β© Reply
PAPS
It's illegal.
β© Reply
MORIA
I just wanted...
β© Reply
PAPS
We gonna talk later. There is no time. Jack...
β© Reply
Jack runs to Neonspeedster.
β© Reply
PAPS
We have 2 minutes. Check the car. Moria, Dani... To the truck. Now!
β© Reply
Moria and Dani are going to the truck.
β© Reply
DANI
I think we didn't need to get out of the car. And we needed to go to the race since we up here already.
β© Reply
MORIA
You could've told me that inside.
β© Reply
Moria is angrily, sadly, pissed off goes to the Truck. She is about to sit on the front, right seat. But she sees something. It's a helmet.
β© Reply
Dani sits in the back and Paps comes to the truck as well. Sitting on the front, left side.
β© Reply
PAPS
Jack will do everything himself.
β© Reply
Paps put the Truck into the first gear and start's driving. Papses truck drives toward the exit.
β© Reply
MORIA
You don't want to be here when he loses right?
β© Reply
PAPS
It's not your business.
β© Reply
Jack runs besides the truck. From the Papses side. He strikes the truck. Truck stops. Paps opens his door.
β© Reply
PAPS
Jack, race!
β© Reply
JACK
I forgot my helmet.
β© Reply
PAPS
You gotta be kidding me.
β© Reply
Paps looks back. And there is no helmet and no Moria. The door is open. Dani sits there with a nasty smile.
β© Reply
Moria runs towards Neonspeedster with the helmet in her hands.
β© Reply
Paps angrily runs after her. But he is too slow to catch up. Moria gets into the Neonspeedster and puts on the helmet on.
β© Reply
PAPS
The race!
β© Reply
Moria drives to the entrance of the race. There are trucks of other teams and other cars.
β© Reply
Beside those trucks. Like an alley, stand other race cars with their drivers ready to get into the cars. They are gearing up and sitting into the cars. It's Tali Stern with Red Kiss, Mike Fast with Dark Shadow, Michael Hay with Underground, Sharon Lively with Poor Charlie and Fredy Funny with Just 3000.
β© Reply
They judgmentally look at her while she scarily passing them and coming first onto the racetrack. They follow her.
β© Reply
Paps doesn't know what to do he takes his phone out.
β© Reply
JACK
Give her a chance.
β© Reply
PAPS
But she is a kid...
β© Reply
JACK
So what?
β© Reply
Papses eyes are getting sad and emotional. He looks at Jack. Paps has a tear. He wipes it off.
β© Reply
PAPS
I know. I can call to the helmet.
β© Reply
Paps dials a number. Jack doesn't know how to react to this. He is confused and slightly scared.
β© Reply
PAPS
We are going to help her. She is not a professional.
β© Reply
JACK
Oh.. Okay
β© Reply
MEANWHILE:
Moria is on the Racetrack. Taking her position on the starting line. Other cars take their positions.
β© Reply
PAPS
( voice )
β© Reply
Moria, Moria can you hear me?
β© Reply
Moria is confused a little. But then she painfully realizes that it's in the helmet.
β© Reply
MORIA
How do I turn it off?
β© Reply
PAPS
Moria, no need to turn it off.
β© Reply
MORIA
Alright I guess or you gonna shut up or I'm going to race with no helmet. You will not stop me.
β© Reply
PAPS
I'm not trying, Moria...
β© Reply
There is a light on the start of the track. With 3 dots. One of dots just turned on. Everybody revving their engines.
β© Reply
PAPS
... those are some insane people you are competing with. We want to help.
β© Reply
MORIA
You were going from the race.
β© Reply
PAPS
Now that we have somebody better then Jack, I'm not imbarased to stay. Jack don't take this...
β© Reply
JACK
It's fine...
β© Reply
Moria smiles. Second light turns on.
β© Reply
PAPS
And if you loose we can always say that you are just 11.
β© Reply
MORIA
It's kind a scary actually.
β© Reply
PAPS
You've got till here, on a racecar, with not a single scratch. You can do this.
β© Reply
The third light turns on.
β© Reply
MORIA
I love you, Paps.
β© Reply
Everybody starts racing.
β© Reply
In front of them is a U-turn with a small bridge on top. There is a holographic thing that shows the turn. The racetrack is on the water. If you try to short cut it, you would fall into the water. Everybody is making this turn perfectly.
β© Reply
Next turn is a U-turn again but to the other side. There is a trap hole with palms for those who try to short cut. Everybody is still fine except of Freddy. He falls into the hole and hits the palm.
β© Reply
MORIA
Oh god!
β© Reply
PAPS
It's fine, Moria. Focus.
β© Reply
Paps, Jack and Dani are on a observation tower looking down at the race.
β© Reply
Moria gets to a turn with no borders. If she doesn't make the turn, she falls into the water.
β© Reply
PAPS
Water trap!
β© Reply
MORIA
I see.
β© Reply
Mike hits her slightly with his back. Moria is edging the fall...
β© Reply
DANI
Oh no.
β© Reply
Moria is trying to steer her way back up to the track. She looses positions.
β© Reply
PAPS
Come on.
β© Reply
Moria makes it back. Though last place.
β© Reply
MORIA
Easy.
β© Reply
After a couple of normal turns. There is a section of a narrow closed part of the track. Everybody is driving this part slower. But when they get out, they are accelerating very quickly.
β© Reply
Moria is out too. Moria is trying to overtake Michael that's right in front of her. There are a few turns where she attempts an overtake. But she can't. Michael is positioning himself in-front so she could not overtake.
β© Reply
MORIA
Move!
β© Reply
PAPS
Don't worry, you can try overtaking in the tube. There is a lot more space to do it.
β© Reply
After the next turn. There is a huge, glass pipe going underwater. It's a very pretty image.
β© Reply
In the tube while having more space and daring to ride on the top part of the tube she overtakes Michael and Mike. There are only 2 left in front. Sharon Lively and Tali Stern.
β© Reply
Moria gets out the tube and her view fills up with a huge loop that's in front of them.
β© Reply
PAPS
Ah... Moria... A loop...
β© Reply
MORIA
I see it.
β© Reply
PAPS
Maybe...
β© Reply
MORIA
I gonna go full speed on this one.
β© Reply
PAPS
Oh no!
β© Reply
Moria is switching gears just perfectly to get maximum acceleration.
β© Reply
MORIA
Not fast enough. I know....
β© Reply
Moria switches for a moment to a lower gear. Revving the engine to it's maxed out. And then switches back to the highest gear. Getting a little boost from it.
β© Reply
She goes onto the loop right after Sharon. Dani, Paps and Jack are looking at it in fear and excitement.
β© Reply
Moria makes the loop. But there is another loop.
β© Reply
PAPS
Moria... Second loop!
β© Reply
MORIA
I know, relax.
β© Reply
Moria does the trick with the gears again. Boosting again. And going on the second loop after Sharon.
β© Reply
Sharon wasn't fast enough so she slightly looses grip to the track and slights.
β© Reply
PAPS
Oh... Oh...
β© Reply
Sharon lands, but stars spinning. Moria passes just in time for her to have space beside Sharon. But Mike and Michael crash right into Sharon.
β© Reply
Michael is in the water, Mike is upside down. So is Sharon.
β© Reply
MORIA
Are they okay?
β© Reply
PAPS
Stop caring. Focus.
β© Reply
MORIA
Are they?
β© Reply
Paps looks at the incident. Everybody is fine. Michael is swimming in the water, Mike is standing there helping Sharon to get out.
β© Reply
PAPS
Seems fine.
β© Reply
MORIA
How far away is Tali?
β© Reply
PAPS
She is doing the tower-spin. Moria. Stop. Only Tali can manage the tower-spin.
β© Reply
MORIA
I'll give it a shot.
β© Reply
PAPS
There is no structural thing that keeps you on the track. If you fall, it's a very serious change of death, Moria.
β© Reply
MORIA
Do you want me to try making it without the helmet?
β© Reply
Tali is going up the tower-spin. A huge upward road that ends very high in the air with U-turn. And then a huge road back down.
β© Reply
Tali climbs up and makes the turn. She is very good at this. She smiles. But then she looses grip on the way back. She is not smiling anymore. The back of the car is getting way too heavy and turns the car upside down as she falls.
β© Reply
The curvature of the ending catches the front of the car and gives it a bump. Tali slides upside down across the road up to the turn in the end. Then her car due to friction rotates back to normal. And lands on the wall of the track. So her wheels do not touch the ground. She is trapped.
β© Reply
PAPS
Oh my god, Moria. Stop!
β© Reply
MORIA
No...
β© Reply
Moria climbs the tower-spin. Paps, Jack and Dani are on the edge. Flashes of photographs are everywhere. Moria is on the top. She turns scraping the edge of the turn. She looses grip as well.
β© Reply
Everybody is scared. Moria is scared.
β© Reply
On the curve on the bottom Moria gets the grip back and lands perfectly.
β© Reply
MORIA
Wow!!!
β© Reply
Paps, Jack and Dani are super happy.
β© Reply
Moria stops near Tali's car. Tali sees her. She looks angry at first. But then she realizes that Moria just did the tower-spin. Tali looks back at Moria with a more accepted face and gives her a thumbs up.
β© Reply
Moria slowly reverses to bump Tali's car out of the trap. Tali is ready to race now.
β© Reply
Paps, Jack and Dani look at each other.
β© Reply
Moria gestures Tali to go. Tali gestures Moria to go. Moria raises a finger 'I have an idea'. Tali looks carefully. Moria starts a countdown with her fingers. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... GO....
β© Reply
Race starts again. Moria and Tali are having the same exact position for a very big chunk of the road. A turn. Tali goes ahead. Moria is not about to give up.
β© Reply
The finish line is around a corner. Moria is scared to lose. Paps, Dani and Jack are looking at it with faces of tension.
β© Reply
Last turn. Moria is close. Tali is deep in her thoughts. Moria overtakes her barely on the last turn. And goes just a little ahead at the finish line. Moria wins.
β© Reply
Neonspeedster and RedKiss stop. Tali opens her hatch and gets out the car. Moria sits in the Neonspeedster unable to comprehend what just happened.
β© Reply
A lot of camera flashes. Light comes on Moria's face from all direction.
β© Reply
MORIA
Dani?
β© Reply
DANI
Yes?
β© Reply
MORIA
Told you...
