Chapter 7
They leave us in the dust. Just kidding I'm letting them have a head start. Now that I think about it, I should leave. If I remember correctly, Maximums was the fastest of our group. I turn the engine on and let warm up before I can leave. Before I left the Director asked, "Why are you just standing there?"
"We didn't want them to get in the way." answered Maximums.
"Can we take other route?" I asked.
"Yes. This scene is about who gets there first." answered the Director.
"Carmen will be filming us as we go, right?" asked Maximums.
"Yes. Rena, I must say that you did great. You could have easily won but instead slowed down," said the Director. "Why did you slow down?"
"It won't be fun if there isn't any competition" I smirked.
The three of us talk for a while but not too long since there's a race. "We should go or we won't be able to catch up with them," interrupts Maximums.
"You can go first." I replied.
"No after you." answers Maximums.
"I insist you go first" I gestured.
We continue to argue with each other over this simple matter with each other, but for us it will be to show how skilled we are.
"We'll go first." said Blaze. With that, the twins leave us behind. Next Maximums went, and then I did. I'm behind Maximums and we stay like this for a while but soon we go our separate ways. I know this town very well and know all the short cuts. I know I will soon catch up with Taylor, Jaz and Amara.
"Incoming call from Selena, accept or end?" asked a robotic voice which interrupts the peaceful silence.
"Accept." I replied while keeping my eyes trained on the road.
"Rena, I just saw Amara, Taylor and Jaz pass by!" said Selena.
"Thank you." I said as I carefully turn around a sharp corner
"Please be careful." said Selena before she hung up.
I better hurry up if I want to catch up with them. Where can Maximums and the twins be?
"Incoming call from (XXX)-XXX-XXX, accept or end?" asked the robotic voice.
That number sounds very familiar. Who could it be? There's only one way to find out.
"Accept." I replied.
"Blondie, you're losing your touch. You better hurry up or the twins will beat you." Maximums taunted.
"How did you get my number?" I asked curiously.
"A little birdy told me…" Maximums and I know that he said it with a smirk.
"End" I commanded to the robot voice and sped up to catch up with the twins.
I have to catch up with them. Maximums wasn't even talk to me while drive like he use to do. I decide to let him beat me. Very soon I'm going about 110 mph and the rest of the racers should be going faster than me at about 130 mph or more. They might be going up to 200 mph since the cars and motorcycles were chosen so that we could race very fast. After a while, I get back to the main road. I had to turn very fast and very sharp since Blaze was only a couple of feet away from me. I almost crashed into the building, but thankfully I didn't. I stopped the bike and tried to calm myself. Until now, I never realized just how dangerous this is. All the years I have driven motorcycle, I have never crashed into something.
Now I know how Jaz must have felt when her motorcycle flipped. It has been the only time I have almost died without it being related to Sailor Scout business. It still scared the crap out of me. Once my heart rate is close to normal I take off and try to catch up with Blaze. I carefully turn and make sure that nobody is near me. I soon catch up with Blaze and I can see that his twin and Maximums are with him. They're so close by each other and there's no way I can pass them going through the main road. I can see that Maximums is in front of the twins.
It seems to me that the twins aren't enough trying to win. Why is that? Could it be that Maximums is going to race like the last time when I was him? If so, I wasn't be able to beat him that time. What to do?
I decide that I will detour and speed up enough more. When I look at the mirrors I can see the twins and the car side by side. Is he mad about something? Is it because I quit even though I took an oath that I will never quit. Or is it because of what happened to Ryder two years ago? I know that he's getting better. Maybe I'm justoverreacting. I'll just have to stay in the front. I speed up just a bit more. No matter how fast I go, they keepcatching up with me. Soon I see Amara, Jaz and Taylor.
"Incoming call from Jess." said the robotic voice.
"Accept." I said responded.
"You're at the half way point. Please be careful. I might not know much about racing but the three people behind you are going too fast. I don't think they're planning on slowing down." said Jess.
"Thank you, don't you worry, I'll be okay. Bye," I answered as I glanced in my mirrors.
"Call Jaz." I ordered after I hang up on Jess.
"Rena, what do you what?" asked Jaz.
"Maximums and the twins are going way too fast." I replied.
"I noticed" replied Jaz.
"It reminds me about the way they got rid of our rivals." I said thoughtfully as I did another check in mirrors.
"You're starting to scare me but you might be right." Jaz says worriedly.
"The director told me that we can take a different route to the finish line." I informed Jaz.
"On the next turn I will go. Bye," said Jaz and the call ends.
"Call Taylor!" I ordered.
"Calling Taylor." said the robotic voice.
"Blondie, what do you want?" asked Taylor.
"I'm scared. They're going too fast." I replied.
"Relax, nothing will happen. He's just trying to make this look like a real race. It's not like what happened years ago." replied Taylor.
I know that he's trying to comfort me but I still think that Maximums is angry about what happened. He couldjust use the movie as an excuse to harm one of us.
That is why he was the second in command of the Lunar Army during the Sliver Millennium. He was like the dad I never had since my dad died in a war two weeks before I was born. Once I remembered who he was, I became very depressed. I didn't know if he could remember our life during the Silver Millennium. I couldn't take it anyone. It hurts every time when I see him because I know that he doesn't remember our old life. When I remembered who he was, I knew that his personality hasn't changed at all.
"Rena, are you still there?" asked Taylor.
"Sorry. Please be careful and take a different route. I don't want you to get hurt. I already told Jaz." I replied.
"Will it make you feel safer?" asked Taylor.
"Yes, now be careful. Bye." I replied and ended the call.
Now it will only be Amara and I with Maximums and the twins behind us. I get in front of Amara and she moves to the left and I block her moves until she decides to go a different way. As I drove the twins are always trying to get in front of me and sometimes they would suddenly get in front of me. The image of me nearly crashing into the building earlier keeps flashing through my mind. I must stop thinking about it or I will not be able to win, and not just that I will be too scared to be able to race and ride my motorcycle ever again. I speed up to the highest speed that the motorcycle would go. I had to be careful with the turns and soon the buildings look like the ones by the finish line.
I'm the first one to cross the finish line and with Maximums behind me. I was paying more attention behind thanl in front. When I look up I see that Blaze is in front and his motorcycle is parked. I slow down then Aiden gets in my way and I turn to the left. When I turned my motorcycle I could feel it going out of control and I knew that I wouldn't be able to stop it. I can see that people are running and getting out of my way. Soon I feel like I'm flying through the air and then land very hard on the asphalt with parts of the motorcycle hitting me.
