Speed.

I need more speed.

I can't lose.

I just can't!

What will she think of me if I lose to them?

Will she think I'm a wimp?

I can't lose!

They're faster…

More experienced…

Stronger…

That doesn't matter!

But I'm just a rookie…

Why did I think that I could even beat them?

But I can!

I must!

She's watching!

What if I slip up?

What if I mess up big time?

No!

I just gotta get in the game!

Nothing can keep me from winning!

But they're so fast!

How can I ever imagine getting up to they're speeds!?

They're undefeated.

No one knows how to get past they're defense.

How can I win?

Last time, they pulverized us.

How will this time be any different?

I've been told that I was born with talent…

But talent can only get you so far.

Why can't I just be faster?

I've got to do this.

I have to make it across that finish line first!

Nothing is holding me back.

Yet I seem slower.

Is that messed up or what?

Gah! Faster!

Faster!

Just a bit more...

Please, just give me the speed I need

To win this race.
