The Grand Ridonculous Race
Chapter 1: Everybody's In Calgary
Part 2: Bareback Ridoncos
With all of the teams, the three Either-Or can get itself started and this time, it could really shake up the leaderboard, as the top eight teams are on their way to beating this challenge!
That doesn't mean that the rest didn't really matter, as there's a whole lot of duos racing around and trying to succeed in a challenge like this one!
Either way, let's read this one!
Of course, this is back, but also, the top team was definitely having a little bit of trouble figuring out what was the challenge.
"Wait, so it's Bronc, Jump or Crunch? That's definitely an unusual name for a challenge!" Tails exclaimed with him being sure of the name, as Sonic was just trying to figure it out.
Once again, Don was just here to really introduce the challenge type to everybody that was new to this or had forgotten the previous seasons and the challenge to practically everyone that was just watching the race.
"An Either-Or is an challenge that has multiple tasks that can be chosen only once to be beaten! This time, it's three choices instead of two!" Don was just introducing in the same place that the leading duo was in, except it was probably recorded a few days earlier.
"Of course, there's the classic Calgary Stampede bronc, of which one of the teammates have to stay on a bronc-ing horse for ten seconds and this horse was just made for it..." Don exclaimed, as the brown horse was just jumping around and generally causing a tailspin for the rider that was just being bronc'd around in question.
"...Or jump and attempt to just go around the horse racing course without a horse and complete it in under two minutes! At least these guys will be reading protective gear..." Don was just seeing that the gear was just well worth it, as it was covering up some clothes and it did a good job of protecting the unmuddied clothes from the mud and water.
"...And lastly, the teams can also choose to bump and attempt to impress these Calgary native square dancing couple and bump each other in order to a get tip..." These two were definitely a couple, as they were just working together in order to show the audience how it was done, as the man and the woman were in complete sync.
"...Once the teams successfully complete the challenge, they'll have to travel to Nose Hill Park, which is in the northwestern areas of Calgary to the next Don Box!" Don was just genuinely sure that the Stampede was packed full of hard and fun challenges that were very western in nature.
With the three-way Either-Or revealed and ready for competing in, there was a few teams that weren't as far ahead as Sonic and Tails, but the top five were definitely coming close to getting the tip.
None of them have already read the tip, but all five of them were getting close to doing that and this time, there was also a few that were working their hardest to make their efforts.
"Colonel, we're in 8th place, judging by the other racers that are ahead of us!" Clark could definitely see that the stadium wasn't even that far away.
"Alright, that does sound pretty good." Ralf was definitely aware of his not so great speed, but he was still bridging the gap between the top tiers and the high tier racers.
Of course, Sonic and Tails were finally at the challenge and ready to reveal what kind of challenge that they were doing to the audience that was just watching it in a very different way.
"I've been practicing my jump since last week, so of course I'm going to jump!" Sonic was just as passionate as his two-tailed best friend was just hopping for joy at the selection of the challenge. "Tails, leave this one to me!"
"Of course." Tails had a bit of a confident grin, as he was just high-fiving each other to make sure that their choice was right and their trust was definitely still unbreakable to anyone with eyes.
However, there was still a few teams that were just coming to make their choice, but instead, it was just a quick montage of choices, as the top eight all chose their challenges for the moment.
"Broncing, probably." Leon's smirk was definitely indicating that he was going to find this challenge pretty easy, as Wolf was just giving the approval with a vertical nod to his partner. "Don't worry, this is going to be easy."
"Jumping sounds the easiest to finish, despite its drawbacks! So, I'm gonna jump!" Fox was definitely the type of fox that was able to jump really hard, as Falco gave an affirmative nod to his leader and these two were just really confident about their choices.
"I'm going to jump like it's nobody's business!" Katsuki shouted aggressively, as he was just ready to make some good use of his quirk in this challenge, in order to prove that he didn't need it. Izuku was just a little bit shaken by his rival's very loud voice.
"You wanna bump?" Roxas just asked with an very cheeky smile, as he was just bumping his adult friend in the chest and Lea just threw a elbow bump back at him with the same smug look. "I think we're going to achieve some good things."
"We're gonna bump, because I've got the moves to own this one." Rad boasted, complete with a show of one move that he wanted the audience to see, as his finger guns and bent legs showed them off, but Enid was just a little bit nervous about the square dancing, but she was not liking his moves.
"Of course, I've got the jump to make it through." Gordeau gave his friend a hint and with a look that showed he was down with all of the challenge, but Chaos managed to figure that this one was definitely the best choice.
"I'm ready to bronc!" Clark stated with some notable confidence, as if he could just fight a god with his partner, a broncing horse wouldn't be that bad of a problem compared to it. Ralf was just really excited for his long-time friend to just achieve great things.
*The Mercenary Guys' confessional*
Ralf and Clark were both organising something, as Clark actually had a bit of a theory regarding some of the competitors.
"There's no doubt that there's going to be issues with some of these guys, I mean I don't think enemies are exactly going to be friends! So, I doubt that it's going to be easy to break the top ten, Clark." Ralf was just thinking of the more obvious issue with some of the duos that were just running around.
"Some of these contestants are capable of very scary things without even doing that much effort! And that's the ones that we know, so racing carefully is what we're going to do, Colonel!" Clark had the sense to be sure of who he was up against.
"That actually makes a lot of sense, Lieutenant!" Ralf commended his partner, as the two of them were just making good use.
*Confessional cut*
"With the best group of teams getting started, as they're here to basically try and to control a horse that is pretty hard to control!" Don announced pretty simply, as there was some obvious issues with the challenges that were actually at hand and this time, bronc-ing was just going to be hard.
Ralf and Clark were definitely a little intimidated by the bucking that the stallion was doing, as it was definitely a good day to just jump on it and make sure that their backs weren't bumped and broken.
Wolf and Leon were just getting an eye for their competitors, as they were just trying to out-do them in pretty incredible ways by just checking the horse that was just waiting for some new competition to get in there.
Krillin and Yamcha were both a little bit scared, but they were just also the first team that was prepared to just try and keep their grip on the horse, as they were both just getting themselves up to try it out.
"Come on, Krillin, I doubt that there isn't going to be any more dangerous challenges like this one." Yamcha was just ready to get his helmet on, as Krillin was just watching him do something brave. "It probably won't kill me, so you're going to take the later challenge."
"Okay, Yamcha, but be careful, that horse is going hurt a lot if you're on the wrong side of it." Krillin was just sure that this horse was really going to bring the hurt, if Yamcha landed too close to it.
Krillin and Yamcha were seeing two more duos like they were complete badasses, as they both weren't too fitting for this challenge, yet they were doing it anyways, as Kris and Susie weren't both too excited and Richter and Maria were just more curious than anything.
*The Martial Artists' confessional*
Krillin and Yamcha were both ridiculously smug about their stamina, as they were actually pretty strong all things considered and this time, they were prepared for anything crazy.
"It's nice to get out and fight some horse that you've never seen! Trust me, Vegeta, I'm not going to get injured so hard that I get knocked out of the competition!" Yamcha was just being strangely specific about his boast, as he was just ready to prove something to a lot of people.
"Yeah, you've got a lot of stamina, but you don't have to brag about it! Besides, I bet that horse is strong, possibly stronger than you think." Krillin was just still in a good mood, trying to raise it with a quick tease
"You can't tell me because you're not on it." Yamcha looked at his friend with a serious look on his face, as he was just prepared to test the buck horse.
"Really good point." Krillin smiled with a genuine look to it, as he was just sure that the horse could be a little bit weaker than usual.
*The Classmates' confessional*
Kris and Susie were just sure that this was definitely a strange challenge for them to be doing, as they were spooked about something.
"This is total bull, because it's a bull! Urgh, I'm going to take this because you're not strong like me and you'd be thrown miles up." Susie was just sure that the horse that was just spinning arond in ways that were just not too good.
"You're definitely righter than me." Kris was just giving a serious thumbs up, as his expression didn't really change at all and his scars on his arm were shown.
"Nice scars, you idiot." Susie just pointed out in the small scars that were just
*Confessional cut*
With those confessionals over, the first one was Yamcha, who was prepared to get himself hurt from the first challenge, as he got his boots on for the real deal and Krillin was just looking at his partner with some serious worry.
"The square dancers are ready to dance like they're in a square! Though, they've got something to get over first."
The four that selected this challenge to beat along with Chet and Lorenzo just joining the battle were not expecting to try and copy the moves in the best way that they could, which was just going to throw all of them off, as it was strangely precise and yet oddly loose.
"Dude, I think we can copy that, but I think we'll need someone to go first to just blow it." Chet said, trying to check out what the dance actually was again, as Lorenzo was just ready to go in. "I kinda don't want to embarrass myself, bro!"
Lorenzo's look of incredulous disbelief was just saying that he wanted to do the challenge, but there was already a team that was just literally jumping in to take the opportunity without really checking it properly.
"Dudes, prepared to get squared by us!" Rad was just enthusiastic about the dance that he was about to do, as Enid was just ready to attempt to make this work. "Yeah, you know!"
"I already know, Rad..." Lea was just trying to not roll his eyes, as he was just ready to try and do the thing, as Roxas was just actually ready to see the first attempt. "Man, I hope those two do succeed."
"Are you kidding? I hope that the opposite happens!" Chet was just throwing out a thumbs down at Rad only, as Lea was just giving a quick thumbs up to the guys.
The first attempt was made, as Enid and Rad were both trying to work with each other, but from the start, it wasn't apparent that this wasn't going to be the best attempt to square dance.
Some steps were actually awkward enough that they managed to throw each other off-rhythm and they couldn't really recover well enough to not get themselves rejected.
"Uhhhh...I doubt that was good." Enid was just slightly embrassed by the screwed up dance, as Isabelle, Digby, Mario and Luigi arrived at the location with an embarassed look. "You guys probably saw it."
Of course, the bodega workers managed to get thumbed down by the young Calgary guy and gal who weren't impressed.
Lea and Roxas were up next and their sweat suddenly increased from the pressure from the onlooking teams that were just down to dance in squares and unsurprisingly, they started off pretty boldly, as they were just doing moves that were just a little too odd for an square dance and Roxas managed to get kicked.
"Come on, Lea!" Roxas was just a little unerved by the sudden kick that caused him to be off-beat.
"Sorry about it." Lea just stopped to ensure that his friend were okay, as he both knew they wouldn't get a tip anyways and the couple backed this up with an thumbs down. "Roxas, this is probably a hard challenge."
"Dude, tell me! At least it makes sense for this to be a first challenge." Roxas was just relaxing to ensure that he wasn't all tensed up or anything.
Isabelle and Digby were actually up next, as there was definitely some expectations that no-one was just going to pass on their first try and Mario and Luigi were just watching to see what they could potentially do.
"Come on, no-one's gonna pass it on their first try!" Luigi confidently said, as their friends were just coming up onto the place where the challenge officially takes place. "Isabelle, you can do it!"
Chet and Lorenzo were just taking a glare at Luigi for a second, before focusing on the two animals that were just coming into the competition.
"Luigi's right, probably, because...they...suck?" Lorenzo might not have been asking an question, but it turned into a question, when the brother and sister dogs were just nailing it. "Luigi's wrong, because they're cute and awesome!"
Chet was just throwing some shade at this brother, when Isabelle and Digby were dancing like they were actually at a farm, as the couple were just genuinely confused at what they were seeing.
With the steps and the moves and the swings, Isabelle and Digby managed to get their tip with the two of them ready to thank everyone.
"Thank you for this opportunity!" Digby just bowed like an gentleman, as Isabelle did so too, as a few more new teams just came in.
"Alright, what's new?" Dark Pit crossed his arms, as Pit came in with him and Kim and Jhun were just seeing that the siblings got a tip. "Oh, look, one of the top-tier teams won already."
*The Taekwondo Masters' confessional*
Kim and Jhun weren't really sceptical of the two assistants' goodness, though they were really questioning something else that was just as important.
"If we just let our guard down, they're just going to pass us by accident and probably help us up! But I don't really know them, yet and they're far from evil." Kim sensed all of the good inside both of the animal assistants.
"Honestly, they could just not help us because it would be dangerous or something like that." Jhun was just shrugging, trying to think of an situation where it
*Confessional cut*

"Who made this jumping challenge? Someone else did and now, these brave duos are going to have to brave the ridiculous jumps that were ahead of them!"
Sonic, Gordeau, Falco and the new arrivals Terry and Izuku were about to try and get past this course with their questionable abilities, as the sun was just beaming down on them with the bushes being well-cut to ensure that the teams couldn't just jump over them easily and to also, make sure that things weren't too disrupted for the real races.
"Dude, it's going to so open and shut, that the doors are just gonna be stuck because of how good Sonic is going to do!" Joe was just saying the obvious and enjoying it anyways. "Seriously, though, you go, Terry!"
There was actually a guy that was timing it up at the booth, as he was just ready to check wherever the runners manage to complete within a certain time limit, especially with a crew like this.
"Goddamn, Deku, don't do something stupid!" Bakugo's lack of faith was just extremely apparent, as this was a course with bushes that horses would just normally jump over.
"Don't worry, Kacchan, I won't!" Izuku was just as determined to make things count, as he was just prepared to make the jump as high as he could, as Terry was just side by side trying to do some things. "Your name's Terry Bogard, right?"
"Yep and I'm guessing your name is Izuku, right?" Terry asked back, as the young guy nodded with a grin that was just looking for some good fun. "That's a pretty nice name, my dude."
Izuku and Terry were just willing to keep it short, as the rest of the runners along with an very surprised Shaggy, who was just trying to see if this was real.
"Yep, that's like a whole foot of bushes!" Shaggy was definitely not in a simulation, as he was just feeling how high the bushes actually are.
"Yeah!" Scooby was just not shocking everyone, as there was definitely some more talking animals that were actually just on two feet joining the game, wherever they were physical or metaphorical. "Go on, Shaggy!"
*The Investigating Foodies' confessional*
Shaggy and Scooby were both a little bit shaken by the fact that this challenge existed and was something that people could actually pass with a good enough jump.
"How did they do this, because this is crazy!" Scooby protested, barely understanding the somewhat absurd challenge that was just ahead of Shaggy.
"I don't know, but I'm going to jump it anyways and I'll think I'll get on the second try." Shaggy's confident words sorta betrayed how scared he was about the challenge, but he still had a challenge to do. "Maybe the third try, but I'll be outta here quick."
"Uh, yeah." Scooby was still a little bit intimidated by the bushes that were actually ahead of him.
*Confessional cut*
The race finally got itself started with one big loud horn that was just annoying the crowd-goers that consisted of teams that were a little bit too late to the punch or just people that were watching their friends to attempt to fight with some fake bushes.
"Uh, why are there fake ones?" Yuri was actually the first one to notice, as she was just watching Shaggy attempt to jump over a bush to some avail.
"Because they don't really need to mess up the ecological stuff or something like that." Xander was actually surprisingly there, as he was just giving it some time.
"Oh, okay." Yuri was just trying to look at the runners that were succeeding such as Sonic and Fox, who were just down for winning. "So you wanna go and fight?"
"...Uh, seriously. I'm a camp councillor, I have to do a serious job and I've got no reason to fight!" Xander was a little bit stunned, as Sonic and Fox were actually just clearly the bushes both intentionally for the former and unintentionally for the latter.
"Man, look at him go. Tails, you wanna bet?" Falco asked, just trying to see if the fox would get in on it.
"Not really, it's like the first round, but Sonic's faster anyways." Tails proclaimed, as he crossed his arms to say some facts.
"Huh, figures that he's holding back." Falco was happy with just talking about Sonic's surprisingly stylish low jumps and Fox's strangely acrobatic backflips that made him lose momentum,
"Well, he'd tear the bushes otherwise." Tails was just keeping himself relaxed. "It's actually good that Fox is here or else Sonic would just outrunning everybody!"
Tails and Falco were just sure that the two's fast partners were just able to get the fastest times on the course, as Joe Higashi was just cheering his partner on with his own words.
"Remember, Terry, those bushes aren't that tall! They're just kinda tall!" Joe Higash motivated his partner in the best way that he could muster up in a short time.
"As the best of the best are done with the challenge with the stragglers having parts of the fakest bushes in their legs..."
Sonic and Fox were just clearing the bushes like they were nothing, as they cleared the height of the prop shrubs and then just flipping to reduce their height, while Terry tripped over one of the fake bushes and just got stuck in it.
"...Some other teams are definitely doing some dirty broncing, complete with the horse just making some teams fall by accident..."
With some teams actually completing the challenge, wherever by just breaking some records in their challenge, being really good at what they did or just getting lucky, it was time for them to just get out of there and leave the challenge-picking to the backburners.
As in, there was several teams that were just getting their bronc on and one of them was actually a little bit further than before, albeit with a bit of a catch.
There was also a lot more duos that were just making sure that they were on equal ground, such as Tygra and Cheetara, as the game was starting to get a little more serious than usual.
As in Zangief was actually riding a horse and the weight of was just throwing the horse off its game and some of the teams were not exactly liking it.
"That has to qualify under animal cruelty with Zangief just riding on it like an fool would! At least we're definitely in the upper echelons in the race." Franziska was just both relieved and really scared, as R. Mika was just cheering her partner on.
"Yeah, Zangief, that's how it's done!" Mika was just loud enough to seriously get the attention to the person that was just taking care of the horse. "But it won't be easy catching up with the lead!"
Zangief and Mika were just leaving off the horse, which was actually a little bit weary at the current moment, as they had an reason to get this tip, especially with where they were going.
"Go to Nose Hill Park to find your next challenge? Wait, is that actually the name, because that sounds kinda badass." R. Mika proclaimed, as she was just ready to hop into another taxi with Zangief quickly in tow.
"What kind of park is that?" Zangief yelled, as the whole line was just looking at him like he was crazy
There was also quite a few teams that were actually impatient enough to notice that not only did the wrestlers just ran through to the exit, but said horse was still slightly lagging from all of Zangief's weight.
"Holy damn, that horse needs a rest, but I'm guessing it won't have one." Cleveland wasn't really all that worried, as he was just really ready to hop onto that horse and ensure that his team wasn't down for the count. "Joe?"
"I can't say that the horse suffered much." Joe looked for any signs that showed some injuries.
"How hard was it even bucked? I doubt it was too hard." Wolf told them, as the horse managed to get back up with an look of fiery determination.
"Yeah, the wolf man's right." Joe didn't even notice that Wolf had just go on ahead, but he did notice now. "Hey, what do you think you're doing!"
"Finishing the challenge, you idiot." Wolf told him, clear as day with an angered tone, as the flying mercenaries were both ready to make an exit from the general challenge.
"Am I really surprised that we passed?" Leon was just clicking his own fingers at the family guys that were actually a little bit behind in the game.
"Wow, they're annoying! I bet think he thinks he's cool with an attitude like that." Tygra was just a little bit angry at the two of them, but he didn't really let it get to his head, as he was just getting onto the horse. "Wish me luck?"
"I don't think you really need me to ask that." Cheetara's faith in Tygra was still going very strong, as the two of them had been on many adventures together as an solid team.
"Yeah, this horse is no joke." Tygra was just on top of it, as he was still stunned by the differences between his species and the others.
The two of them were just giving the signal to start the crazy ride, as Tygra was just ready to hold on for dear life with his rivals just watching him try and stay on it, as he managed to get thrown around, but fell off due to the center of balance being screwed.
"That was actually pretty close." Cheetara did notice that the timer said 8 seconds and 520 milliseconds, as Tygra picked himself back up.
These two were finally ready to make sure that their next turn was the best, as Tygra had a bit of a cheeky grin, while Cheetara was just looking confidently to the future.
"Step aside, Cleveland's going in!" Joe vouched for his friend really loudly, as the police officer was just willing to let the family man go and take a ride on this horse. "Cleveland, just hang on!"
"Will do, Joe." Cleveland already felt the shakiness of the horse that was just making his spin, as he tried to keep his balance straight and his butt firmly on the saddle.
Strangely enough, the black man with a yellow shirt held on for the full ten seconds, as he just swung in and out out of good balancing and at the end, he was just fine.
*The Family Men's confessional*
Cleveland and Joe were definitely in a really good mood, as they were just ready to keep up their performance.
"That was really rough. Could've hurt really bad, but it didn't." Cleveland's relaxed demeanour was still as strong as ever, despite just barely staying on for the full duration. "Anyways, I bet that the next challenge is going to be kinda crazy."
"Yep..." Joe might have realised what his friend had said, as he was just not scared of any crazy challenges that were ahead. "...my wife and my son are definitely gonna motivate us two to win! Yeah!"
*The Canine Warriors' confessional*
Tygra and Cheetara were both looking at each other like they were down with each other, as the two were ready to work with each other.
"Trust me, Cheetara, it's just going to be a little bit harder than usual." Tygra was just smirking to be sure, as there was a whole lot of that going around. "I don't know what the rest is going to be all about, but we're going to conquer it."
"Conquer it suggests that we're going to win a lot. Let's just survive this one, because I think we're up against some brutal foes, who we're going to introduce to some brutal techniques." Cheetara sounded a little more serious than her partner, as there was some serious competition in the game.
"Uh, yeah, but it's not going to break any bones, just break the competition." Tygra clarified, ready to take the world and the racers on.
*Confessional cut*
However, there was still a whole bunch of duos attempting to complete a challenge and this time, they weren't ready for it, which is probably normal for a good chunk of the teams.
Sonic and Fox were far and away the most successful duo in the bush running, as they came past the finish line with no issues on the leafy side, as they were making their mark known in this race with one minute and 30 seconds spent on the course.
Izuku's high jump may have given him a little bit of an advantage, but he wasn't really that fast compared to his contemporaries and both of them combined still didn't stop him from completing it in a minute and 53 seconds.
Terry may have struggled in the beginning, but by the end, he was truly getting the hang of the really high jump, as he was just jumping over the somewhat high bushes with some ease, barely clearing it and finishing it off in one minute and 58 seconds.
"Oh shoot, I think we've got some new competition in the ring!" Joe exclaimed, as Falco and Tails were just looking at him like he was very passionate and very unstable at the same time. "Falco, Tails, get yourselves ready!"
"Man, you're probably all talk." Falco stated, having his fair share of talkative guys that were not experts by any means.
"Hey, Joe can talk, but he can also throw some deadly kicks!" Terry was just backing up his partner, as he was just putting his arms around his partner's shoulders.
"That doesn't even make sense, but I doubt those kicks are just for show." Fox noticed, as even in his more casual outfit, Joe was still looking ready for a battle ahead.
"I'll be the judge of that." Falco crossed his arms with a lot of confidence, as Sonic and Tails were off and Joe and Terry were about to leave.
"Okay, you're going to regret that kind of move!" Joe proclaimed, as he was just leaving the challenge with his partner in tow and rival
All three teams would be joining the other small bunch of teams that were just able to overcome the Either-Or challenges in special and not so special ways, as there was nine front-running teams in total, all of them using their best skills to not waste their energy
Even then, Shaggy and Scooby may have failed, but they weren't really alone either, as there was a whole lot of new duos willing to make the run look easy, as Pit, Dark Pit and several other duos were just joining the battle, as Nana and Popo were actually coming up to the two detective to have a bit of a talk.
And by several other, it meant that was a whole crowd of pairs just ready to wait for the next pass, as Shaggy finished in about four minutes and there was such limited space that only eight runners could be on the course at one single time.
"Hey, wanna race? We're prepared for it!" Nana told the two food lovers, who were taking a quick look at the over-sized garb that she was wearing for some reason. "I mean, you can-"
"It's the middle of May, what the heck are you and your husband doing in two big coats?" Shaggy's confusion was mainly stemming from the obvious body heat that these two were struggling with.
"We just usually just wear these in any situation and it kinda doubles as armour." Nana explained the whole situation, not really giving an good reason to not be confused.
"It's a big friggin' coat!" Scooby exclamed, almost ready to go on the battlefield and accuse Nana of something crazy, as the race was just getting itself started.
*The Mountain Climbers' confessional*
Nana and Popo were slightly offended at the slightly aggressive comments that were made by the food loving detectives.
"Why would someone talk about our coats like that! It's kinda really rude and really stupid to do something like that!" Nana was just a lot more fired up than usual and then almost immediately being sweet. "To be fair, it is really sweaty, but I'll work through it."
Popo was just gesturing both of his arms towards his wife, as he was just showing the audience the strange nature of Nana's anger and also didn't have many words to say about the situation.
*Confessional cut*
There was a whole lot of racing to be done, but there was even more announcing, as Don hadn't really been doing his own thing for a while in TV show terms, especially with some more absurd running teams taking the precious airtime.
"After everybody arrives to take a shot at the first big challenge, as there's not enough space for those teams to be competitive to beat the best...
The eight runners were definitely trying to make their jump a little more extreme, as horse bushes weren't exactly made to be jumped over without an horse.
"...As the best teams are running towards the taxi ranks in certain areas to make sure that they're not losing the moment!"
With this many teams choosing their challenges and attempting to not embarrass themselves, it wasn't exactly a novel thought that there was a whole lot of competiting within the teams.
Even out of the challenges, the competition was just getting harder and harder, as some of the duos were just being left in the dust by some bad travelling habits that caused some teams to lag pretty hard.
The fastest were way past 12th Avenue Southeast, as Sonic and Tails were just making the best use of their overdone speed to ensure that the competition couldn't really slip through.
"Come on, Tails, we've got a park to hit up and then an airport to get to!" Sonic was just keeping his feet right on the ground once again, as Tails was just neck and neck with him.
"I'll be right with you in a second!" Tails exclaimed, as the second place team was ferocuiously running towards them at an unexpected pace. "At this rate, we'll hit the taxi rank within a minute or two!"
Kim and Jhun were actually close to the taxi rank, but was definitely going at a slower pace than the fast-paced friends, as they were warriors of the leg day and arm days as well.
"Kaphwan, I doubt that we didn't train for this, even if it was by accident." Jhun's perspective on this race wasn't really that rare, but it was the first time that things had been like this.
"I agree! I went through an rigorous training regime that might have been messed up, but it was all worth it." Kim stopped to take a breather, as his mood was just stable, but he didn't really know where the taxi rank was.
"I think my one was just as rigorous as yours, because I can keep up with you." Jhun also stopped, just to keep the team spirit going on downtown.
"Huh, I thought for a second that you'd be lazy, but then that would just out of character for you." Kim noted, as the two of them were just laughing it up, as Wolf was just ready to throw a quick rock at the two of them.
Jhun just stopped it with his hand, clearly not letting his arms getting unused for the sake of showing his own art, as the two taekwondo masters were a little miffed.
"After breaking a rock, the taekwondo masters along with a lot of the other top teams are on their way to Nose Hill Park! What does the biggest park in Calgary have in store for them? Find out in the Grand Ridonculous Race!"
To be continued in Part 3, where the second challenge gets some knots tied in an another western-styled challenge, complete with some hats to boot!
Also, Nose Hill Park is definitely a weird name for a park, but then Concussion Valley also exists in the same country, so it's just probably Canada!
