01 — The Story
»The Story«
DASH crash-lands his racer in neon Tokyo, fleeing NODE — the entity that took his home world, Arca 250. The only way back is to rebuild the wrecked ship, and that takes cash. Hunted by NODE's Black Saints and saved by Tele — a NODE experiment turned Tokyo mechanic — DASH hustles the underground for the parts: street races, a set at LIMELYTE, jobs across the city. Tele will fix the ship… if DASH takes him along to settle his own score with NODE.
ACT 01
Crash & Rescue
DASH crash-lands the GRX50001 into Tokyo and EK-0 boots up in his HUD — just as NODE's Black Saints swarm. They run him and EK-0 down through the rain… until Tele steps in, fights them off, and hauls the pair back to his garage.
ACT 02
The Deal
Tele reveals he's from Arca 250 too — one of NODE's experiments, left with a cybernetic arm that gives him mechanical superpowers. On Earth he lays low as a Tokyo mechanic running underground street races. He'll rebuild DASH's ship on one condition: he comes along to get his revenge on NODE. But the parts cost money DASH doesn't have.
ACT 03
Earn & Return
DASH works Tokyo to fund the rebuild — street races, a headline set at LIMELYTE, and jobs across the city. Part by part, Tele rebuilds the GRX50001. When the ship is whole, the crew launches back through the vortex to Arca 250 — to free his mother and end NODE.
