Rough Sonic Riders
Episode 2: Green Hills & Caves
Part 2a: The Green Start Line!
'
All three teams were quickly on their way to the starting line, as the Round 1 race was going to start in a hour or so and they all harboured no hard feelings towards each other, despite this round determining which teams would be in which group in Round 2.
Sticks' team had their own seperate agendas, but their main goal was show that Bygone Island did have some talent that could be shown outside of the isle and Sticks was sure that it would be able to happen.
Sonic's team was ready to prove to the other teams that they've definitely improved their skills, since they were both determined to make sure that they were the best racer in this round.
Bark's trio were ready to make a massive comeback, as they've been doing some side stuff for way too long and they're been training for this moment for a long time and they weren't ready to lose this one.
No matter what, they were prepared to show their best skills to make sure that they've tried the best in this round and Green Hill was set for quite a few laps of racing around a track of caves, waterfalls and totem poles and the media crew was already at the racetrack.
''Today, we've got the first group of racers that are ready to hit the track and they look like hard workers!'' Omochao announced, since the teams have been working out and practicing for at least a hour at this point and all three teams were definitely sweating their butts off, but they weren't ready to lose either. ''These three teams are definitely ready to talk about their skills and goals in this GP, because there's no point in having no goals!''
Omochao wanted to talk to the people from a secluded island and they were all sure that their first time exploring the whole wide world was definitely determined to bring some good results and he was basically a robo-interviewer.
''So, Team Bygone, why are you guys here?'' Omochao asked, since Perci was just answering all of the questions that the team were going to take, despite Sticks wanting a turn at the spotlight and she was sure that there was only one reason why they were racing against legends.
''We're here to prove that guys from an unknown island can be good too.'' Perci explained, since the people from that town weren't sure who should go international and starting beating everyone else and Sticks had a better for that question, mostly because of the big question.
''We're actually here to prove that anyone can beat anyone, if they're determined enough to do it!'' Sticks shouted, definitely making a more determined case for the team to be here and these two were sure to win people's hearts and win this race and the badger had a lot more to say, but it wouldn't really work at him.
''And how did you guys become so good?'' Omochao asked, as the two were pretty sure that they both had different answers to the questions that the robotic chao was actually asking and Perci was completely sure that the obvious answer would just bore people.
''We fight enemieson our island!'' Sticks said, ready to fight anyone who wanted to endanger the island. ''It doesn't matter, who's trying to hit us, we're ready to hit this!''
''Yeah, but what do you do to have these skills?'' Omochao asked, still not sure about how Perci and Stick gained their Extreme Gear skills on the island and then Soar came in to give the tiny, aspiring journalist some real answers that actually worked.
''For quite a while, we're been working out in a gym to get their muscles growing!'' Soar explained, actually showing that the team was a little less interesting what the girls said and he had more where that came from. ''Then, we found our gears and found what looked like a good racetrack, so he worked hard there.''
''Wow, sounds...pretty normal.'' Omochao said, kinda not expecting a normal answer from a team that was on a island that was kinda far away from a civilised society, but Perci was determined to make sure that the team made their mark on the world.
''Yeah, hard work pays a lot and it pays a lot more when you're in a worldwide competition!'' Perci shouted, doing it for her own island and she was definitely happy to be on TV, while Soar was just happy to see his cred going up in the world and the eagle was just ready to make sure that the team doesn't seem so crazy.
The badger and the hedgehog were prepared to be a team that worked hard to win and Omochao was actually happy that these two were ready to hit the board and show what to really do in the challenge, but this challenge was sure to be finished to players.
''Wow, the new team's surely pretty awesome!'' Omochao said, as the race was going to start soon and Team Hooligan was up to be interviewed for their reasons and why they're going to be in this awesome Grand Prix.
'
Bark, Bean and Fang were ready to be interview on why they were here and why they have a problem with Sonic and Knuckles, but not Tails, which was it's own problem, but they were going to have some honest answers that showed their personality of the team.
''Team Hooligan, already look like they've been working hard and...that sweat.'' Omochao stated, just taking a look at Bark and his sweaty chest and the bear was ready to get the interview going, as Fang was also here to explaing some things about the mysterious team of guys.
''Yeah, we sweat. What are you gonna do about it?'' Bark asked, since he had been using some rudimentary props as his weights for both his arms and specially his legs, which were definitely looking big as the rest of his body, but Fang was a little more stunned.
''Geez, didn't know you could sweat that much.'' Fang said, in slight digust, as the weasel was sure to bring some of the weaponised action into a race of hoverboards, skates and other vehicles that hover and he was suddenly reminded of that moment.
''Yeah, ever since you've been fighters in that fighting tournament, what have you been guys doing?'' Omochao asked, genuinely respresenting that part of the crowd of what these guys have been up to and it has been a really long time, since they've been actually doing some stuff.
''Trying to make a living, while we're basically surviving.'' Bark said, since the bear was just stuck in some very cold areas of the Arctic and this man was basically trying to do some selling in the shops. ''Yeah, I've been working in some cold city!''
''Seriously? Then where was Bean?'' Omochao asked, starting to be slightly more confused than before, as Bean was definitely here and he had only one reason to be here, but nobody really knew at the moment what it was even was and Bean was completely ready to explain.
''Oh, yeah-'' Bark explained, before the duck was actually sure to bring some explaination that would've helped the aspiring journalist on his way to find out how guys actually formed this time around and Fang was also part of the same team that Bean was in.
''Lemme explain, man!'' Bean shouted, ready to tell some big story that involved the weasel and Fang was actually starting to be a little worried...about something that was important and this thing would explain what was up.
''Uh, so it was just doing some demolition stuff, when I found the weasel just selling some bombs that I made! I just jumped down and told this guy what the heck's up with that and then I just realized...that I knew the guy!''
''That's none of your business!'' Fang yelled, since things were just getting more and more awkward for this team and Bean was starting to explain more and more of it, since the duck was just explaining some things.
''Yup, it definitely was Fang, down hard on his luck! And then I just called you up and we worked our butts to try as hard as we could! I swear, we also battled Team Sonic and just showed them up!''
The team was definitely sure that they've saved a weasel from losing a ton of money through some shady dealings and casino action and that meant that they suddenly valued their friendship a lot more.
''Alright, looks like you really need the money to spruce you guys' life!'' Omochao told the team and he was happy that these were guys from a bit of a problematic situation, but it didn't matter at all wherever they were from a bad background or a good background, as they were still determined to prove it. ''So we interviewed these two new teams and they dare to prove that they're super strong!''
The race clock was now down to about 40 minutes, as the teams were almost ready for the final race and these three were not about to be swapped around to another round and potentially go up against very strong rivals that wanted to kick their butts.
