"...WAIT A MINUTE... IS THAT A BICYCLE?"
...
A COUPLE MOMENTS BACK, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RACE STARTED.
As everyone zoomed off from the starting line, with the BLACK BOX keeping track of the racers by following directly above them.
No one noticed AMÉ and his bicycle, with dust from the other racers completely covering him as they rushed ahead to take the lead.
He stood there waiting patiently for them to get to the first turn of the first lap. As the dust around him died down, he mounted his ride, •PIXYCLE• and began riding behind them.
With everything happening in the front and center of the race, the BLACK BOX didn't even realize a racer was far behind.
Riding slowly and increasing his riding speed slowly, he began covering ground at an immense speed using the ability of •PIXYCLE•.
He covered the original straight path before the first turn, which was 20 Million FRIS away from the starting line at the same speed DAP01 used to cover the distance.
As the other racers crossed into the second lap and began arranging themselves in a straight line.
He continued following behind, at the same speed DAP01 used in the first lap, while using the special ability of his ride.
He began the second lap at the same moment NARROW PATH began it's first track shrink. Slowly but steadily he began closing in on •BURNING RAINBOW• and just then the GUN head incident happened.
...
With •PIXYCLE• now showing on the map of every other racer and the BLACK BOX, the race intensifies, as everyone wondered how a bicycle was capable of keeping up with them.
"He really is having fun, well I better get ready for him". SAGE says smiling, as he looked at the map on his dashboard display. He once again opens the glass case and...
"BOOM".
He shoots way ahead of everyone, leaving •STAR BURST• in his shadow.
STAR gets angry by the fact that just when she was finally closing in on him he had to use it.
She notices •DARK AVENGER• in. it's new form coming at her at insane speeds. Immediately she began spraying her laser beams, shooting all of it back wards, acting as an attack and a burst of speed to boost her ahead and cover a large portion of the distance SAGE was now giving her and everyone else.
As her beams shot everything behind her without aiming particularly on any racer, DAP01 transformed his •DARK AVENGER• for the second time into a ball like shape which spun in one spot, attracting all the laser beams to his ride.
The ball having a barrier around it that prevented the existence erasure effect from reach him, while converting it into energy.
He transforms his ride back into it's speed form and launches himself ahead with double his original speed, using the energy he had got from the existence erasure conversion. But had taken multiple damages from the normal laser power, which were still strong enough to destroy star rocks.
Lumps of rocks from her home town on the DEATH RACE layer that are formed from the merging of 50 super novas. This was how powerful STAR is, the very reason she is one of the most feared racers within DEATH RACE.
Even after all the bombarding from multiple of this powerful laser beam, •DARK AVENGER• only had it's bonnet turn black. Meaning the damage was reduced by a lot. And this was thanks to the spinning of the ball form of his ride.
Still, STAR knew it best not to let. DAP01 anywhere close to. her with just that little damage, because even she wasn't sure har hair which forms the body of. •STAR BURST• could take Hundred times the power of the many laser beams she shot, even though the power had been reduced.
Hence she switched her ride into her vertical form, which gave her better boost and maneuvering ability, preparing herself as DAP01 drew closer to her on the crooked tracks of NARROW PATH.
Meanwhile at the center and back of the race were, the COLLOSALS in 3rd and 4th place still, now riding on the center two wheels of their •LEVIATHAN•.
The wheels were big enough to occupy the whole track and have parts of it extend off the track. A very risky move indeed, especially with • BURNING RAINBOW• right behind them and ready to burn their tyres to crisps, with ASTRID and GUN HEAD following right behind.
It had it's advantage of preventing those behind them from easily overtaking them without breaking the only 3 rules of DEATH RACE, but a great disadvantage, due to them currently being on NARROW PATH.
"DOOM... DOOM..."
NARROW PATH began shrinking for the second time. And this time it shrink to the size of •BURNING RAINBOW• a 50 FRIS wide car, perfectly fitting it's four wheels on the track.
The collapse moved so fast from the start of the second lap, passing each racer one after the other, causing them to switch the transformation of their rides to fit the new track, which slowed them down for less than a fraction of a second.
And just in that time as the collapse drew near to the COLLOSALS, AMÉ easily passes •MACHINE GUN• and •STALLION• placing himself in 6th.
"DID YOU ALL SEE THAT? JUST AS NARROW PATH GOT TO THOSE EXTREMELY LARGE •LEVIATHAN•, WHICH WERE SURE TO FALL INTO THE BLUE SEA OF MAGMA. AMÉ. AND HIS •PIXYCLE• EASILY OVERTOOK •MACHINE GUN• AND •STALLION• LANDING DIRECTLY IN SIXTH PLACE..."
"THAT'S RIGHT, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. HE LANDED IN SIXTH AND. NOT SEVEN. THE RACERS ARE BACK TO BEING EIGHT. WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE MONSTER TRUCKS? DID THEY FALL INTO THE BLUE SEA OF MAGMA. WE NEED TO REPLAY THIS RIGHT NOW... WE WERE SO CAUGHT UP IN •PIXYCLE• THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE THOSE TWO DISAPPEARING..." Said the commentator from within the BLACK BOX..
"BUT THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT. IF THEY FELL SHOULD'NT HE BE FIFTH?" Asked a second voice.
"YOU'RE 100% RIGHT PARTNER. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED".
