8 positions and 7 racers remain in the DEATH RACE.
"AND WE'RE BACK! WE NOW HAVE •BURNING RAINBOW• IN 6TH PLACE BEHIND •PIXYCLE• REPAIRING ITSELF WITH IT'S FLAMES AS IT ZOOMS THROUGH THE DESERT".
"FOLLOWING RIGHT BEHIND THOSE TWO IN 7TH PLACE IS •STAR BURST•, WHICH LOOKS TO BE CHANGING IT'S SHAPE INTO A NEEDLE. WHAT IS STAR PLANNING TO DO? IS SHE GOING FOR SPEED ALONE OR IS THAT A FORM FOR PIERCING THROUGH ANYTHING?".
"AND IN THE 8TH AND LAST PLACE SITS •BLUE SENDER•, WILL HE ONCE AGAIN SEND HIMSELF TO THE FRONT LINES OR IS HE TOO DAMAGED TO PERFORM A SEND?"
"THE DEATH RACE CONTINUES WITH GUN HEAD AND HIS •MACHINE GUN• NOW ELIMINATED. WHO WILL BE NEXT TO DIE OFF IN THE DEATH RACE? WE'LL BE FINDING OUT SOON IN THE 4TH LAP".
DAP01 maintains his insane speed, leaving the other racers in his dust.
At every 5 second interval he shoots a laser beam ahead of his ride, quickly driving past it. He places •DARK AVENGER• directly in front of the beam, damaging himself with his secondary weapon. Though not as powerful as STAR'S lasers, the hundred times multiplier of BOUNCE BACK was sure to come in handy.
He continues doing this as an insurance, preparing for •BLUE SENDER• or •PIXYCLE• suddenly appearing in his front like last time.
He keeps on accumulating damages for a whole minute. Unfortunately and fortunately for him he reached the ending mark of the 3rd lap without any other racer coming close to him.
He wondered why they didn't bother using their primary weapons, but concluded they were probably too damaged to use it. After all, he was now in 1st place and was done with the 3rd lap.
Now having two laps to his name, he smiles as his •DARK AVENGER• comes to a halt after he crossed the mark.
A breath of relief mixed with a smile of fulfilment. Finally, he returned to leading not only the race but also in DEATH POINTS.
Points given to DEATH RACERS who finish a lap in 1st place, enabling them to respawn back in the race if they were killed at the same point they were killed.
DAP01 who was a veteran in the DEATH RACE knew how valuable this was, a big reason behind his rage for not being first at the end of the second lap and worst of all, overtaken by. •BURNING RAINBOW• at the end mark.
Stopping at the end mark of the 3rd lap with a chill was ASTRID 2 minutes after DAP01 had stopped.
In DEATH RACE, at the end of every 3 laps, depending on how many laps exist in the race, a break is held. A break which is held at the half mark of the first half of the race.
In this case the end mark of the 3rd lap and the next break at the end of the 8th lap. If there are any racers left by then.
The COLLOSALS follow in 3rd and 4th place 40 seconds after ASTRID. AMÉ riding his •PIXYCLE• in a nonchalant way, as if making fun of those who finished ahead of him, comes in...
"BWOOM".
"NO FREAKING WAY! DID YOU ALL SEE THAT?"
"•BLUE SENDER•, •STAR BURST• and •BURNING RAINBOW• ALL TEARING THROUGH SPACE ITSELF AT SPEEDS NEVER SEEN IN THE DEATH RACE. WITH ALL THREE OF THEM PASSING THE. •PIXYCLE• AND COMING IN 5TH PLACE AT THE VERY END OF THE 3RD LAP!"
"WHAT HAPPENED AT THE FAR BACK, HOW DID THEY DO IT? THIS IS BEYOND INTERESTING. JUST WHEN THE HOST THOUGHT HE HAD WON HIMSELF THE 5TH PLACE, HE GETS OVERTAKEN BY NOT ONE BUT 3 RACERS ALL AT THE SAME TIME".
"WELL, FROM THE REPLAY WE CAN SEE STAR CHANGING THE STRUCTURE OF HER HAIR WHICH FIRMS THE •STAR BURST• INTO A NEEDLE, WHICH SLOWED HER DOWN AND DROPPED HER IN LAST PLACE. SHE MUST HAVE REALLY WANTED TO PERFECT THE NEW FORM OF •STAR BURST•". The assistant commentator says.
"VERY TRUE INDEED AND WE CAN ALSO SEE •BURNING RAINBOW• GETTING COMPLETELY TURNED INTO THE VERY FLAMES THAT COME OUT FROM IT'S EXHAUST AS HE RUSHED FORWARD IN 6TH PLACE. WHILE •BLUE SENDER•... UHN? WHAT'S THIS PARTNER?"
"WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE AN ABILITY OF THE •BLUE SENDER• WHICH WAS OMITTED IN THE ENTRY FORM". He replied.
"BUT SHOULDN'T THIS BE CONSIDERED FLYING? HE LITERALLY JUST TRANSFORMED INTO A PAPER PLANE AFTER MERGING WITH EVERY TINY PAPER PLANE SURROUNDING THE •BLUE SENDER•".
"WELL, HE HASN'T BEEN SENT BACK TO THE STARTING OF THE RACE. SO WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT HE DIDN'T FLY. AFTER ALL, ON A CLOSER LOOK IT SEEMS LIKE THE PLANE NEVER TOOK OFF. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO IMAGINE JUST HOW FAST THAT THOSE TYRES HAD LEFT THE GROUND, HE MIGHT JUST HAVE THORN THROUGH THE FORCE STOP WALL ON THE END OF THE 3RD LAP".
"Did that cheat just partially use his GATE's plane? Smart of him to put wheels on it. Hmph... That PASSIVE of his really is making this interesting". AMÉ said to himself after SAGE overtook him.
"I SEE, VERY INTERESTING INDEED. SO HE BECAME ONE OF HIS PAPER PLANES, LITERALLY BECOMING AS FAST AS THEY ARE, INSTEAD OF SENDING THEM AHEAD AND THEN JOINING THEM. A BETTER VERSION OF SEND. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CALLED SENT".
"YES INDEED IT SHOULD. AFTER ALL, HE DIDN'T SEND THE TINY PAPER PLANES BUT HIMSELF. AND WITH THAT, WE CAN SEE BOTH. THE •BLUE SENDER• AND •BURNING RAINBOW• MOVING AT THE SAME SPEED WITH EACH OTHER".
"THE MOMENT •BLUE SENDER• GOT ON THE SAME LINE WITH •BURNING RAINBOW• IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSFORMATION INTO THE RAINBOW FLAMES COMPLETED, HELPING HI NOT TO GET OVERTAKEN BY •BLUE SENDER•" The assistant commentator adds.
"VERY TRUE. BUT, THIS IS WHERE THE VERY SPEED RECORD OF DEATH RACE GOT BROKEN. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST SHE BECAME JUST BY TRANSFORMING INTO A NEEDLE".
"INDEED. A. VERY SURPRISING FEAT. JUST AS •BLUE SENDER• AND •BURNING RAINBOW• OVERTOOK AMÉ'S PIXEL AND WHERE BOTH ABOUT TO CROSS THE END MARK OF THE 3RD LAP, A PINK FLASH TORE THROUGH SPACE ITSELF CROSSING THE MARK AT THE SAME TIME WITH THEM. COMPLETELY MIND BLOWING"
"MIND BLOWING INDEED. SETTING A NEW SPEED RECORD IN THE DEATH RACE WHILE COVERING A DISTANCE OF OVER 50 BILLION FRIS IN LESS THAN A SECOND. HONESTLY SPEAKING, THAT IS NO SPEED FEAT ALONE. JUST IMAGINE IF THAT HAD CLASHED WITH ANOTHER RACER?" The head commentator says with a look of despair as he shrugged at the thought of it.
"WELL, CONSIDERING HER LASER SURROUNDED THE BODY OF •STAR BURST• IT'S AN EASY RESULT... COMPLETE DESTRUCTION AND ERASURE FROM EXISTENCE, I DOUBT EVEN THE STRONGEST OF STAR STONES CAN SURVIVE THAT".
Now at the ending mark of the 3rd lap were the 6 of the registered racers.
The moment the last position and 7th racer, AMÉ crossed the end mark of the 3rd lap the break ended.
And a very large wall that stood in-between them and the 4th lap began lifting off the ground.
The FORCE STOP WALL. A wall so long both of it's ends extended beyond the whole 3rd lap. And reached heights as heigh as the whole 3rd lap. With a thickness of 1 Billion FRIS.
STAR had torn through this wall after crossing the end mark of the 3rd lap with SAGE and THE GOD OF... Each stopping at 50 Million, 30 Million and 10 Million FRIS respectively.
The wall regenerated, pushing them out of the holes they created.
Their rides were able to repair from the damage, few seconds before AMÉ crossed the end mark.
With the FORCE STOP WALL now fully raised above 3 Million FRIS off the ground. The racers, start their engines driving slowly through the wall as they headed for the starting mark of the 4th lap.
With everyone at the starting point of the 4th lap, now fully repaired and set to move.
"BEAM". A GREEN LIGHT strikes the dark empty space lighting it up.
"AND THE FOURTH LAP BEGINS, A LAP WHICH WILL LEAD INTO A STRAIGHT FIVE LAPS BEFORE THE NEXT BREAK. HOW MANY RACERS WILL BE LEFT AT THE END OF THE NEXT FIVE LAPS...". The head. commentator says as the racers began riding into the plane grey lands of the 4th lap.
"MAKE SURE TO PLACE YOUR BETS AND GET READY TO.... WOW WOW. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?"
"DID •BLUE SENDER• JUST GET CRUSHED AND ELIMINATED..?
