Chapter 3:

________________________________________________

"DIDDY WATCH OUT", screamed Dixie from behind me. As my vision came back to normal, I saw a cliff which I dodged but, in the process, I ran into Dixie's plane, taking her down with me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I heard Dixie scream as both of our planes went plummeting in the volcano floor. I tried my best to land our planes safely but they wouldn't respond to my steering. I braced for impacted as my plane hit the molten floor.

CRASH!!

As I opened my eyes, I saw the same destruction I saw the very day my papa died; planes all destroyed in a heaping metal mess; only real difference from the two crashes, no bodies, especially not my papa's. The only one that appeared comatose was Dixie, who lied on the other side of the destruction, unconscious beneath a propeller. In ran to her side and pushed the propeller off of her, her body scrapped up from the crash.

"Dixie", I yelled. "Wake up".

But she didn't. She was out cold. I figured the only way to help her was to get her off the ground and to safety.

I picked her up and slung her on my back and over my shoulders. I walked a little until there was no more rock to walk on.

By that time, the race was over but Taj was looking over the race track for us. When he flew by, I called to him.

"Taj", I called. "We're down here".

But the smoke drowned out my shouting.

All of a sudden, the lava started to rise. I ran to the highest part of the rocky floor and screamed again.

"TAJ", I screamed one lat time.

That time I was lucky. Taj came flying by and dropped down by us. I quickly dropped Dixie on the carpet and climbed on. As we flew away from the wreckage of the crash, I cried.

"What have I done"?

I don't own any of the Diddy Kong Racing characters. Buuut I'm still waiting for that permit to own Dixie. DARNIT NINTENDO!! SELL HER TO ME!!! LOL Please review! ^^
