A/N: Sup everybody, thought I'd do a fic of a pretty well known game show series, I know most my fics are oriented on Ryu Hayabusa, so I'd thought it would be good to add some diversity. Of course as the title says, gonna be a DOA spin-off of the Amazing Race, it will have the same rules as the up to date American version, with all the rules and regulations. Of course sadly though there can only be 11 teams so there won't be some characters, and the characters that will be paired up of course will have some kind of relationship. Also, the only difference is I'm not going to be writing it in past tense so the fic will not have the flashback interviews during the race and only this chapter. Please tell me what you think and hope you enjoy. :)

Dead or Alive: The Amazing Race

Chapter 1: Ready, Set, Wait...

Announcer: 22 contestants paired up in teams of two, consisting of previous and former fighters of the Dead or Alive Tournement, will compete here in the sunshine state of California journeying in a race around the world for a prize of 5 million dollars.

I'm your host Hei23 follow me as we watch these eleven teams compete for 5 million dollars, many of the teams will eliminated on the journey, but, the team to cross the finish line first will win the Amazing race.

The eleven teams are...

Hitomi and Lei Fang, best friends and training partners.

" I'm really happy to be traveling with Hitomi, we've been to so many cool places before, hopefully we can prove that our girl power is not to be underestimated." Lei Fang said as the two giggled.

" Watch, cause we are gonna win the 5 million." Hitomi said determined.

" Hitomi and Lei Fang power up!" The duo said in unison.

Eliot and Gen Fu, Martial Arts master and student.

" I just hope these old bones can keep up with all these young bloods." Gen Fu said laughing.

" The relationship that my master and I share will carry us to the finish line." Eliot said tightening his gloves.

Tina Armstrong and Mila, former professional wrestler and MMA Fighter.

" I've always wanted to travel the world, hopefully I can show some of my moves to the other competitors." Mila said clenching her fist.

" I just want the 5 million so I can go on a huge shopping spree!"

Jacky and Sarah Bryant, brother and sister.

" Pssh, amazing race, I've been in the Indy 500, I'm gonna run circles around these chumps." Jacky said as his nostrils flared.

" My relationship with my older brother is very strong we've both been through a lot so, I don't think that this race will be difficult at all."

Helena and Kokoro, half-sisters and good friends.

" I only figured out Helena was my older sister after the 5th Dead or Alive tournament, I know for sure the race will help us come closer together."

" Of course it will, and along the way we're gonna win the 5 million." Helena said comforting Kokoro.

Ayane and Momiji, ninja allies and best friends.

" It's kinda funny how we met, my sensei Ryu is best friends with Ayane's half-brother Hayate, I guess it was just meant to be." Momiji said smiling.

" As much as I love my older brother Hayate and Ryu, you both are going down, we're gonna win and prove that we're the best."

Leon and Bayman, ex-mercenaries.

" Looking at the competition it's not going to be much of a race, Leon and I hustle and get down and dirty a lot in our line of work, I doubt the other contestants can do what we do." Bayman said scoffing after.

" Being a former mercenary, the job let's you travel around the world, so wherever we go I'll be ready. Plus I'm the strongest man on earth, I have nothing to worry about." Leon remarked confidently.

Ryu Hayabusa and Hayate, ninjas and childhood friends.

" We actually thought of a name to distinguish us from our female ninja counterparts, we're not only ninjas, but we're also beasts, thus, we're the ninja-animals, the ninjanimals." Hayate said with no regret.

" Please don't ever say that again." Ryu said palming his hand to his face while shaking his head.

Bass and Rig, former oil platform workers and good friends.

" Eh, traveling around the world is cool and all, but, the things I could do with that 5 mil." Rig said unenthusiastic.

" I want to win but I have to protect my TINAAAAAA!" Bass shouted like the concerned parent he is.

Lisa and Christie, co-workers from DOATEC.

" As long as she doesn't slow me down, we can outrun all these idiots." Christie said in a very pessimistic matter.

" Here we go again, at least we get to travel and see the world." Lisa said optimistically.

and Finally, Jann Lee and Zack, former rivals and competitors of previous Dead or Alive Tournaments.

" Yeahhhh, going around the world, I wonder if my Helena sweetheart is on this race too. Ahh..." Zack said in a charismatic matter.

" Why must he be my partner, my god, anybody else, please, I'll take anyone." Jann Lee said palming his hand in his face in desperation.

Ten of the eleven teams arrived ready to only for the announcer and host Hei23 to show up.

Welcome contestants to The Start of The Amazing race, unfortunately one member from one of our teams is not here...

To Be Continued

E/N: Tell me what you think of the teams, I really want feedback on this before I continue, it is a huge work in progress, and I think reviews are crucial in order for me to continue. Also, a shout-out to who can ever figure out what Team Ryu and Hayate are based off from this current season of the Amazing Race. :)
