'Turn left!'
Cali's 'left' was, in fact, her 'right', so instead of avoiding the silvery creature with horned wings and a tongue that shot out sparks, she ploughed into one of the arena's rubber rails and bounced away. That would be the last advice of any sort I'd offer in this place, for swift decision making did not go hand in hand with maniacal driving skills, mine and theirs.
Asher screamed as his car struck something else, a beefy creature with a rounded shell, and he shot through the air. Then, having lost all concentration, his magic cut out to force his dark, seemingly un-operational car into a steep dive. And if he hadn't teleported at the last instant, he'd have been pinned upside down when it landed on top of one of those rubber rails.
I did my best to slow as I passed, noticing first that Asher was stood to the side and debating running the gauntlet to reach his stricken vehicle. 'Sonic Blast.'
