SORRY FOR BEING LATE! T-T I had so much work to do. It might be a little bit shorter than usual, but that's cuz they weren't doing much, really. Thnx for your patience! ^^

The NetMobile Grand Pix

A lull that foreruns the storm. That's what it was…

The whole thing started like this: the kids were eating in our restaurant and were having a chat. Yai, the whiny rich girl announced that her company was developing cars for Navis. Cool, you'd say. Then add that they were arranging a race too. Supercool. The other kids got excited. So did our NetOps. That's when…

. We're racing too! – said three familiar voice in unison from the entrance: the NetAgents.

- Don't you NetAgents have better things to do? – snapped Count Zap.

- Like saving the world and stuff? – added Mr. Match.

Black Rose and Misteriyu started a template speech about us and Grave. Commander Beef added that he wanted to win this thing. Yai accepted all of us, Lan psyched out but Yai said "business is business". So the band got together.

Then the girl showed the vehicles through her PET. Our NetOps went off to clean up, cuz we were closing, only Yahoot stayed to choose one. You won't believe what he picked. A train. A freakin' steam train. Okay, that had enough room for all of us but still… eh, I knew we would lose.

The day of the race finally came. The Ayano-tech created a very cool racecourse, I had to admit. The announcer was a maid (?), the auditorium was full, everything's okay.

She started like "what a beautiful day we have". Dude, what did she expect in the cyberworld? Maybe she meant the human world, heck knows. Protoman jumped into the course with a cool motorbike, being show-off again and said he'd be the winner. So the maid introduced the vehicles. That's when our NetOps realized we were sitting in a train. We were Number 6.

- Hey! Tell me why we're riding in a steam train when we're supposed to be in a car race? – commented Maddy.

- Even though a sports car might have been faster, I've always been a fan of steam-trains – explained Yahoot. – It's so much fun to blow the horn.

It seemed he wasn't taking it seriously either. I wanted to head something but I didn't want to look like an idiot in front of everyone.

- Who cares about the horn? – growled Mr. Match.

- We're supposed to win this race for World Tree! – added Jack.

Protoman and Gutsman with his tank (!) passed Megaman's racing car. To hell with physics, I say. (:P) He fell into line with Numberman, who closed up behind. So Gutsman sent him flying with a GutsHammer. Wackoman commented he should be a fortune-teller, cuz he knew Numberman would be the first to log out. We started laughing.

Next up was a tunnel. Iceman, who was with Glide, climbed onto the top of their bus and froze the road. We weren't affected cuz our tires simply tore through the ice and when it got too thick, Heatman created a heat barrier around us and opened the way.

Gutsman's tank slipped and started spinning around. There goes the famous caterpillar. He almost crushed into Roll but in the last second she put on the brakes and turned the wheel, so she slipped right next to the tank and span around with him. That's when I spotted out that cyberdog, Rush who was chained to the bonnet. He broke free and climbed into the car. What the heck he was doing there, I don't know. Gutsman got too dizzy and blasted his own tank, making himself to log out. We burst out in laughing. This race was cool.

Megaman tried to keep control with spinning his wheels. That's when Magicman ram into him from the back. Megaman lost control, but – too bad – Lan reacted fast and downloaded a Spiketire chip that aligned Megaman so he even was driving on the ceiling for a minute.

We cleared the iceroad and everyone changed tires. A familiar voice came from the announcing room: Mr. Higsby, Numberman's NetOp. We almost shouted to kick him out of there but that wouldn't have helped anyway. In front of us was a drawbridge. That was opening up. We got scared for a minute that we wouldn't be able to make it but Wackoman (!) made a plan. We were the last ones. Everyone got through except the NetAgents. Their vehicle, a four-wheeled submarine, was too heavy to make it to other end and fell into the water. That would have been our fate to if it weren't for Wackoman who shot his ball and broke the legs of the two ends. The bridge collapsed, and stayed like that for the rest of the race. So we went through a flat road to Lap 2.

The maid started cheering for Yai and Glide. Jack downloaded the chip that converted our train into an electric type. Cool. So I gathered all my power and transmitted it to the antennas. The train speeded up and the others started cheering like we were on a roller coaster. The only disadvantage of it was that I lost my power too quickly and couldn't regenerate it in time. That meant I had to divide up my energy.

We passed everyone. The others let it go to their heads, though there were two more laps to clear. Heatman and Wackoman started attacking the others. The pyromaniac summoned Firetowers that forced the others to get out of the way, while Wackoman shot his ball that crushed into Glides and Iceman's bus and made it explode. I seriously started fearing that thing.

- It's a whole new race and it belongs to World Three! – he laughed.

That's when Chaud downloaded a faster engine, followed by everyone else. They passed us, but we couldn't speed up because of my power-limit.

Suddenly I saw something from the corner of my eye. Something was emerging from the water: the NetAgents' submarine. I should have known they won't be stopped by water. I thought they would get back in the race but instead of that they cut in our train and stopped. Magicman screamed at them to get out of the way and I cut the connection but it was too late. We impacted at full speed and sent flying. Me and Wackoman crashed against the fence and logged out.

Every fell out NetRacer were sent to a kind of infirmary where they checked them and if they were okay, they could g back to the PET. Well, we started a scuffle there.

Heatman, covered in fire, was chasing Woodman who Skullman tried to save with two Boomerangbones but his attack was blocked by Wackoman and Magicman. That left Sharkman to me. He may be fast and agile but being water type means his weakness was electricity. We destroyed the entire "room" while our NetOps were having a battle of words. In the end the security guys had to hold down us, making this fight a drawn. Too bad, I was winning. Jack always loved the fried fish, thought I would prepare one for him. (:3)

We were quite a match for the NetAgents. When we got back we saw our NetOps rolling on the floor, laughing their butts off. When we asked what happened, Jack told us that the race was won by Rush, who, after an explosion, flew through the finish line, winning with only 10 centimeters.

Our day couldn't get any better. We were roaring with laughter.

We needed it. Cuz after tat there weren't much laughing at all…

R&R plz!
