Ch.4

And the Winner is…

Sorry for the wait! He's the final chapter of this fic! Who will win the race and the prize money? Read and find out! Please R&R.

The nine racers sped down the racetrack. Surprisingly, Jimmy was in the lead.

"Look at me! I'm a regular speedster!" exclaimed Jimmy. "Eat my dust suckers!" After a few seconds, however, he went from a cocky grin, to a wail of panic.

"Too fast, too fast!" he wailed as he threw his arms in the air. Without his hands on the wheel, his go-cart swerved out of control, sending him into a nearby tree. The force of the crash totaled his go-cart, removing him from the race.

"Owie" he mumbled before losing conscience.

Sarah had witnessed her friend's crash. She wanted to go help him, but she wasn't about to lose. The whole situation angered her, so she decided to do what she usually does when she was mad: take out her anger on her brother.

Ed was only a few feet in front of her, making him a perfect target for her weapon. She pressed the button that read "Jaws" on her car. As she did, a mechanical cat's head with large, mechanical fangs came out of the hood of her go-cart. Using its large fangs, it dug into the back of Ed's go-cart.

"Get it off! Get it off!" cried Ed as he tried to remove the jaws by swerving. The fangs, however, had dug deep into Ed's cart, refusing to let go.

Meanwhile, Double D looked at his dashboard after hearing a beeping noise. The dashboard read "Charge complete".

"Looks like my weapon's ready to go!" he exclaimed. "Now then, who will be my first target?" After surveying the area, he decided that since he had the clearest shot at him, Jonny would be his target.

"Sorry about this Jonny" Double D mumbled to himself as he pressed the button that read "Rust ray". A laser came out of the hood of Double D's car and shot an amber colored ray at Jonny's wheels.

"What the heck's goin' on?" asked a confused Jonny. After the amber-coloer ray disappeared, Jonny's wheels were completely rusted, causing a wave of sparks to fly from behind him.

"Oh,no! I-I can't turn!" he cried as he turned his steering wheel from side to side. After about ten seconds, he finally came to a stop. Without properly working wheels, he was out of the race.

"Please forgive me Jonny!" shouted Double D as he pasted the unlucky kid. "At least I know it works now. It's a shame it takes so long to charge."

Meanwhile, Sarah had finally released the jaws from Ed's go-cart. "Let's see If I can latch on to his head!" she exclaimed as she began to aim the jaws.

Ed turned his head around. "Sarah, quit it!" he shouted. As he turned around in his seat, his elbow hit the button on his car marked "Gravy".

A compartment at the bottom part of his go-cart opened up, releasing a large puddle of gravy. Sarah had no time to dodge the gravy.

Her car swerved uncontrollably, sending her off the track and out of the race.

"Ed! You're gonna get it!" shouted Sarah as she shook her fist.

Ed turned back around in his seat. "Uh, don't tell Mom, okay?" As he said that, the competitors exited the hill's path and headed into town.

Eddy and Kevin were at each others throats, both of them trying to claim first place.

"Back of, bazooka chin!" spat Eddy as he rammed his opponent. "I'm winnin' that prize money!"

"For a shrimp like you, you've got a big mouth!" Kevin sneered as he pressed the button on his go-cart marked "Football". "Allow me to shut it for ya!"

A cannon came out of the hood of Kevin's go-cart and shot a barrage of footballs at his adversary. Many of the footballs merely bounced off Eddy's cart, but three met their target. One lodged itself in Eddy's mouth, another nailed him in the gut, which caused him to spit out the football in his mouth, and the last one got him in the jaw.

"Ha! Now that's what I call a jawbreaker!" Kevin snickered.

The footballs, however, weren't enough to take Eddy out of the race. He quickly recovered and continued to ram into Kevin.

"Is that all you've got Kevin?" Eddy sneered.

"Geez! Just crash already!" shouted Kevin.

Rolf pulled up alongside Kevin. "I shall assist you Kevin!" He pressed the button on his wagon that read "Chicken." A bucket of live chickens popped up from the back of the wagon. Grabbing the bucket of chickens, Rolf threw out its contents at Eddy.

"Rolf's using chickens as weapons?" shouted Double D.

"PETA's going to be all over him for that one!" exclaimed Nazz.

Eddy sped up at the last moment, dodging all the chickens, but the chickens had an effect on one of the Ed's.

"Chicken!" exclaimed Ed as he raced after them in his go-cart. Unfortunately, the chickens led him straight into a brick wall, totaling his cart and taking him out of the race.

Ed looked up at the wall to see that the wall had a billboard on it, which read: Galactic Space Pirates DVD! In stores now!

"D…V…D" groaned Ed as a chicken began to peck his leg.

Kevin was back on the offensive, ramming his go-cart into Eddy's. All the ramming was starting to ruin the paint job on Eddy's go-cart.

"Watch the paint job!" shouted Eddy after Kevin rammed into him another time. "That's it! You're gonna get it!" Eddy pressed the button marked "Boom box". As he did, a boom box came out of the hood of his cart.

"Let's turn things up a bit!" said Eddy. The boom box turned on, blasting music at an ear-shattering volume. The loud music sent Victor into a frenzy, causing Rolf to lose control of his wagon and crash into some nearby trash cans and eliminating him from the race.

"And I thought music soothed the savage beast!" said Nazz as she tried to cover her ears while she drove.

Kevin couldn't take it anymore. He had to do something to stop that music. He turned his steering wheel as hard as he could, which caused him to ram into Eddy. The boom box toppled over and smashed to pieces on the asphalt below.

Double D looked back at his dashboard to find it read "Charge complete". Double D took aim at Kevin, who was giving Eddy a relentless onslaught of rams. "You've bullied us for too long now! Take this!"

As Double D hit the button, Kevin, unaware of what Double D was planning, turned to ram Eddy once more, dodging the amber-colored ray. The rust ray did hit a cart, however.

Nazz, who was in front of Kevin at the time, looked down at her wheels as they were enveloped by the laser. "What's going on?"

A panicked look spread across Double D's face. "Oh dear! I wasn't supposed to hit Nazz!"

The laser did its work, causing Nazz to come to a screeching holt as sparks flew from under her go-cart. Without working wheels, she was out of the race.

"I'm sorry Nazz!" shouted Double D as he passed her. "I wasn't aiming for you!"

Kevin, finally noticing Nazz's elimination, went for a new target. "You're gonna get it Double dork!"

He rammed Double D with all his might, sending the unfortunate Ed into the path of a street sign. Double D had no time to react. He hit the street sign at full force, eliminating him from the race. Fortunately, Double D was smart enough to add an airbag in his go-cart, which cushioned the blow.

Eddy and Kevin could see the finish line, which was only a few blocks away. "It's just you and me now, dork!" said Kevin. "Ready to lose?"

"As if!" answered Eddy. "I've still got one more trick up my sleeve!" He pressed the button mark "Boost" on his cart. Flames shot out from the back of Eddy's cart as he went twice the speed he was going at.

"No way!" shouted Kevin. "I can't believe he's gonna win!"

Eat my dust, Kev!" shouted Eddy. His celebration was short lived, however. Since his cart was made out of wood, the flames ate at it, until nothing of the cart remained. Eddy fell to the ground, skidding across the asphalt.

Eddy slowly regained consciousness, seeing his two friends standing over him. Ed was petting one of Rolf's chickens.

"Did I win?' asked Eddy.

"See for yourself" answered Double D as he pointed to his left.

Eddy looked to see the finish line only a few feet away. Kevin, who was holding a large trophy in one hand and a huge check in the other, was surrounded by the other kids.

"What?" Kevin won?" Eddy shouted angrily.

"I'm afraid so" answered Double D.

"But you did really good Eddy!" said Ed as he helped Eddy up.

"So all that work I put into my go-cart was for nothin'?" asked Eddy.

"Don't worry Eddy" said Double D. "You'll look back on this day when you're older and laugh.

"What are you talkin' about?" spat Eddy. "I got beat by Kevin for the millionth time, Sarah's probably gonna get Ed grounded, and Nazz probably hates you for knocking her out of the race! I'm outta here!"

"Eddy, shouldn't you let a docter check you out?" asked Double D. "Your crash gave you a nasty skid mark!"

"No time Double D!" answered Eddy as he walked off. "I've gotta think of a way we can scam Kevin outta that prize money!"

That's the end of this fic! I hope you enjoyed it! Sorry to those who wanted someone else to win. Please R&R!
