"Here take a piece of this."
[Sirisa]
With the bleeding continuing as Crystals Bariba, Omari was unable to move, the color in his fur began leaving him. She rushed in, trying to do her best to cloth up his neck. Up, down, up, down, his chest began to slowly rise to its max less and less. As she got the last of the cloth around him it seemed as though all of his fur had changed. She made her way to his face in order to see if he was okay. Finally seeing her dear companions eyes fogged over in a glaze. Omari had passed with the last twist of her knot, unknownst to her he had passed already.
"Is he okay?"
[Obitiga]
"No.."
[Crystal - As she balls tears of sadness]
"Are you okay?"
[Twilight]
"He….He passed away."
[Crystal]
"Are you sure we can't save him?"
[Obitiga]
"No it looks like with all the blood loss he passed."
[Crystal]
"What do we do?"
[Sirsia]
"Can we notify the officials?"
[Obitiga]
"We can't do anything like that till we finish the race. Out here we are on our own."
[Crystal]
"So let's finish the race then, we can even find out why Empat did this!"
[Twilight]
The team begins to remount their Riding Animals, with Crystal joining Sirisa on hers. As they made their way towards the next track they checked their position within the race.
*Alert*
"Two Players Have Moved Up. Your Rank has decreased 2 positions."
[Lightsponder]
"Damn, it looks like we've been passed."
[Obitiga]
"It's fine right now, let's worry about getting out of this race."
[Crystal]
"I wonder where Obitiga is."
[Sirisa]
"Maybe he was one of the ones who passed us?"
[Crystal]
"No according to this it was Empat and two other people probably from the collision back in Track C."
[Obitiga]
"He can catch up then! Let's get moving."
[Twilight]
Entering Track D the crowd above begins to cheer. Unbenounced to the group the racers ahead had stopped. It looked like they were waiting for something. Unsure what the issue could be, the others and Twilights came to a stop.
"What do you think they are doing?"
[Sirisa]
"It can't be dangerous right?"
[Gixoh]
Nah, no way, this can't be what's planned for Track D.
[Crystal]
[As the other racers get in formation]
"What are they doing?"
[Twilight]
"They are doing one of our more ancient Luminous Grande formations. It is only really done during or right before a battle."
[Crystal]
"A battle?"
[Sirisa]
"How do they expect us to win without any weapons?"
[Twilight]
"We let are Animals fight, it's how they used to do it back in the days, it looks like they're bringing back again."
[Crystal]
"Isn't it kinda dangerous since we already lost Omari?"
[Sirisa]
"Yeah, but this way I can avenge his death."
[Crystal]
[Approaching the group, the team and Twilight began to prepare for battle.]
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are just waiting for the rest of our places to return and we can begin the battle of a lifetime folks."
[Crowd cheers]
"Let's tell you a few things about this race. It's not just the players that might be new but our Tracks too. With this next Track, Track D, you can enter a Battle Royale style race. Where your creature and you must fight through not just the rough terrain but the opposing team's relentless onslaught."
[The Announcer]
[Crowd cheering loudly]
"Here come folks, the last two stragglers within the race!"
[The Announcer]
[Crowd continues cheering]
"Obitiga!"
[Srisa - screaming as she jolts to Obitiga]
Full of joy she began hounding him with questions. Some about how he was while others about the race behind them. Apparently it was rough, they were now only 2 of them. It seems the explosion took out most of them and on the way here the desert was attacked by creatures as well an onslaught of leaves. It wasn't much but at first I thought it was one of you.
"No, it would be that racer over there."
[Sirisa]
"So then let's hurry this race up and not stand around."
[Obitiga]
"We'd love that but it seems like they are going to be switching to a different type of race. The Battle Race, they explained that it won't be an issue as well however."
[Sirisa]
After explaining everything to Obitiga the Battle commences. With a rider on the right side of our Explosive Rider taking the lead. He made his way towards Obitiga.
"I'd like to face you newbee. I bet you can't even control your creature correctly."
[Strange Rider 1]
"Just for that I'll make sure not to lighten up on you."
[Obitiga]
"By the way the name is Kris."
[Kris]
"Obitiga."
[Obitiga]
"So it looks like our Riders are ready, everyone. How about y'all!?"
[The Announcer]
[Crowd cheers louder than before]
"Sounds like we are ready to go! Let's begin the first round Kris Firestorm vs. Obitiga of Sanshu!"
[The Announcer]
The two raced for each other. Obitiga on Trima, had him curl himself into his shell. Creating a spin motion, something similar to a top. As he hurled his way towards Kris he didn't flinch. With a swing of his wing Kris's Animal stopped Trima dead in his tracks. Well before he was even near. Leaving Obitiga unable to think. With that split second when he was unaware Kris took the opportunity, letting his creature send out a screech, flustering both Trima and Obitiga. As they were blind Kris began moving in for the finishing blow. Unknownst to Obitiga as he got back to his senses, as his eyes begin to widen he sees a silhouette of Kris as his creature's arm begins to approach. Hitting Obitiga it sends him flying off Trima, out into the Track and slamming into the wall of the stadium.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, did you see that? It's going to be hard for Obitiga to return from that one!"
[The Announcer]
[Crowd Cheering]
