Finally, here is the fourth episode of this not-so-epic saga.
{EPISODE FOUR: Retro Warrior's Power / Strange Encounter}
"Nearing the end of the race, I'll need to pull my trump card if I want to end this race soon."
"Will you be able to keep up with me until then?"
"Damn. I already ran through both my nitrous tanks, and I'm not any closer to him."
"Hey, it's Jaxon! And he's leading that Accord by quite a margin."
"I swear, if you lose this match, even by sheer luck...nah, what am I saying? He's got this."
"I don't know if you've seen this in action. If you didn't, prepare to be amazed."
"Alright. Here. We. GO!"
"Wha- he just suddenly sped up! A-and his engine! It's...revving higher than before, a lot higher!"
"Is that it? Is that the trick he's been keeping up his sleeve?"
"People often assume that the V8 I have in my RW is one of those older low-revving ones. However, that's not the case!"
"This baby can rev to over 9000 RPM! However, I always shift at around 5000 RPM unless I really need the extra power."
"It was a good fight you put up until then, but this is the end."
"Damn, I've lost him now. The fight didn't even last that much longer after he started revving higher. So this is the power of an elite racer."
"So you won."
"That's correct!"
"So how was it? Was it difficult?"
"Honestly, it wasn't that difficult, but he put up enough of a fight to make me use the higher RPM's.
"Really? Well, good that you wrapped it up quickly. Yeah. Bye."
"Hm? Who's this? He's coming in hot."
"Now I haven't seen that car around here before. Those lights do look a bit familiar, though. He isn't making any indications, but he's tailing me at 160 km/h."
"Alright, my guy. Let's see what you think about 200 km/h.
"He's still within the same distance behind me. Seems like he accepted my challenge! Now show me what you've got!"
"We're in the tunnel now. He's matched my pace so far, but I think he's holding back..."
"He's observing me. If that's the case, I'll make sure to smoke him in the next section."
"The straight is right up ahead. However, I can't shake off the feeling that I've seen him before...somewhere."
"Could it be...!? Is that why he's tailing me?"
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, I've gotta lose him now. 260 and climbing. Hope that he isn't able to continue this much further."
"Hmm. Something's changed. He's really trying to lose me now."
"A race at this time? More importantly, who's tailing Terry? Is that..?"
"Chris! Chris! I just saw something really important!"
"W-w-what..."
"W-were you having a little nap at the wheel?"
"Yes, I was. This better be important, Francis."
"It's breaking news! I saw Terry being tailed by the Harbinger at high speed! This is the flashiest show he's put up so far, that Laurel."
"WHAT?! Harbinger?! Where?!"
"They just flew past the long right-hander before the first overpass."
"Gotcha. I'll meet up with them at the second overpass."
"Gaaaaah, this guy is still on my ass! I don't know why, but I feel like I'd really have to lose him, like it's a life or death situation!"

Stay tuned for the next episode, {EPISODE FIVE: Serious Chase}, whenever that will be.
