The Final Extreme Prix (Closed)

[()Snake Eyes()]

"Try not to yourself!" Alex called teasingly as he left. She grabbed her board and put on her goggles that she wore when racing. She smiled. "Ready!" she said to herself.

Blade looked over at Rouge. "yep, here we are." He said. "But shouldn't you be getting ready for the race?" Blade looked at Echoes. "The same goes for you ya know."
"I'm all set." Echoes said. "But when is anyone ready for whatever it is Thaderus put into that death scheme they call a tarck?" Echoes and Blade looked over at Thaderus. Thaderus stuck out his thumb and dragged it across his neck making the 'you're dead' gesture. "Oh yeah. I'm not looking foreward to this race."
'Well at least you only have to finish amoung the top three. And looking at your compitition, Rouge not included; I'd say you have a fair chance of moving ahead. Mind you I'll be up against Wave, Jet, or Shadow so my chances are a bit more grim."
"Assuming I survive, what kind of odds are we looking at for winning the finals?"
"Why should I care? Victory in the races wasn't my goal coming into this. Stopping whatever it was the Rouges were up to was. Now that objective has shifted to stopping the destructionof this ship and the people aboard. Winning these races is a secondary bonus. Besides, we're part of government and privatly funded orginazations, we don't need the money for anything, therefore, winning would be just like a rich guy robbing a charity booth."

"Shouldn't we iterogate it somehow?" Knuckles asked following Ried. "For all we know, it could be trying to steal something valuble from the ship."

Reid looked at the echidna "i know for a fact that the only things with value on this ship are the racers, there gears, and some of the ships self defence weapons." He said shrugging his shoulders. "And well my captain the other two of my group members....and probably a number of other mobians and babylonians..." He said coming up to the doors of Lazers office. He waved as the guards as he opened the door. "But i guess it would be good to know exactly what it was after."

Alex walked over, getting ready for the race. She did a few stretches and waited. She could not wait for her first big race to start. She was SO excited she could scream!

(Me too.)

Echoes got down to the starting line. "I wager that half the racers will be out or dead by the end of the first lap if Thaderus did indeed design this.." He said quietly to himself.
"Not quite the positive thinking there." Blade said.
"I'm rational, not an optomist."

"Race should be starting soon Tails." Sonic said tapping his foot. "You better hurry up."

"It was after something." Knuckles said. "I should know; I'm a master at gaurding things. I've seen this kind of behavior in people before."

[ashley12]

Reid nodded to Knuckles. "Well do you know how to interigate a blob?" He asked a bit sarcastically as he put the box down on the table.

Phoenix felt the jerking movement as the box was put down on the table and jolted awake. She assessed the box and tried to push herself out of it to no avail.

Tails waved his hand grabbing his board. "Yeah yeah i'm coming. Hold your horses." He said sarcastically.

[blade the hedgehog]

Blade opened a link into Wave's mind. "You don't know what you are missing out on." Blade said. "The race track for this race is going to prove to be quite interesting. You should watch, Echoes is thinks half the racers that go in are going to come out in stretchers."

Knuckles rubbed his head. "Well you can't pound a blob into mush, so that won't help."

Sonic started to tap his foot fater.

Shadow walked into the G.U.N. boothand sat down at a chair. "I wonder what kind of suprises that pychopath installed into the course." He thought.

[ashley12]

Wave nodded "yeah we should get going now...come on guys, Blade says this is going to be a good race."
"Ok then, lets go and find your boyfriend." Jet said joking.
"Hey! I enjoy having an intelligent conversation with someone...and its not like i can have one with you lot."
"Whatever, come on then."

Once Onyx was positive that Mitch was alright he grabbed his board. "I have to get in this race ok buddy?" He said pulling him along behind him.
"Will you wait till Sypris gets back?"
"I have to get down there now, Liz will look after you." He said as the A.I. skipped behind them.
"Yeah, no sweat. I wont let anything else happen to you."
"Ok"

Tails nodded jumping on his board. "Ok sonic , lets go." He said zipping out of the roof

Reid chuckled as he noticed the blob trying to get out. "Maybe if we let it out and it can take a form...then we can beat the crud out of it." He said shaking the box a bit. "I'm a big fan of the direct approach as well."

[blade the hedgehog]

"Tell Jet to stop being jealous." Blade said. "And that he needs better insults."

Echoes tapped his feet against the ground. He saw Alex on the starting line. "They put her in the lower bracket?" He thought to himself. "No mater, focus. The people I'm going to have to watch out for are Rouge, Tails, And Onyx as they have the same gear type as my own. I'll also have to be caustious of wahtever traps thaderus has in store. No doubt he's giggling up in the booth like a child with a new toy. And knowing him, all the suprises will be triggered remotely and autonomously. While he's an explosive expert, I'm not so sure that these traps will be limited to only explosions. Smokescreens, blinding flashes, tripwire, the list of tools in his arsanel go on. I can predict this somewhat so I should be okay as long as I stay caustious. But the others might have a tough time with these traps."

Thaderus was reclined back in his chair in the booth sipping on some water. "I'll let them off easy on the first lap." he thought. "It will build up Echoes' paranioa and the others will be too carefree. Just when they least expect it, they'll be hit by something they don't expect. Echoes will be fun to play with cause he can imgine what's in store, but that might be a problem if he figures out too many of my traps."

Sonic didn't gave Tails any time. He tied Tails to the bored and lifted it over his head like a suffer does when running at the water. He then dashed holding Tails and the gear over his head. He ran to the starting line and plaved Tails and his gear on the ground. He untied Tails and ran into the stands.

"But if we do that, it might transform into something hard for us to pumble." Knuckles said. "Perhaps if we kept shaking the box to make it dizzy first and then let it come out."

[ashley12]

Wave laughed a bit but decided to keep it to herself for now. "Storm will you scratch my back?"
"No! I wont scratch your back! Do it yourself!"
"Your a jerk..."
"Hey you two, calm down." Jet said flicking Wave in the shoulder.

Onyx made his way down to the start line and started stretching. He spotted Echoes an he looked behind him at his tail feathers. He coughed a bit stroking the cold metal, he was a bit sad the metal had grown back, but he had gotten usef to it. It would be wierd to walk around not without them.

Tails stuck his tongue out at Sonic as he struggled against the rope. "Sonic! This isn't funny!"

Rouge grabbed her board and headed towards the track, she spotted Echoes and pulled on his quills. "So hedgehog, you ready to eat my dust?"

Reid handed Knuckles the box. "Would you care to do the honors?"
