Rough Sonic Riders
Episode 5: Mushroom Wood Chase!
Part 2b: Chase Forest Road!


The race was finally getting down and started, as there was fifteen racers on the ground and they were more determined to get their point in different ways that would mark them as either villains or heroes and their skills were the one thing that would seperate them, their friends, their opponents and their rivals, as the woods were prepared for the race.

''Alright, so we've got about 10 seconds and seconds count down very quickly, so...''

The Chaotix were looking mean enough to be able to prove that they were here to run super hard, as they were finally walking back very slowly and finally prepared to run foward, but Charmy was a little too eager.

''Five...''

Mighty was just walking backwards for a meter to prepare for some special running, Ray was just quite litterally running backwards to get the best distance for his board and Tiara was basically staying in the same place.

''Four...''

Zeena had the meanest pout out of anyone racer here, as she was ready to come into with an postitive attitude that would show the obvious thing about this young Zeti girl, while Charlie and Belinda was just looking very mean.

''Three...''

Mighty and Breezie were actually prepared to do some more glaring, even as some of the riders were just preparing their best run, as Ray was just starting up his momentum doing a slow walk.

''Two...''

Ray and Charmy were actually starting their run, as they were kind of far from the starting line and figured that they could get a good time that would propel them into the top positions of the damn race.

''One!''

Charmy was still running hard, as he was just confindent that the timing would be good and Charlie just ended up being confused by his wife's shouting and they were both running for the laser and they were ending up a little too close for comfort.

The horn sounded itself out to turn off the laster, because of technology and Charmy and Charlie was caught out by the laser, but Espio, Mighty and Vector managed to get an perfect start with a high amount of speed.

''And most of them are off!'' Omochao shouted, as Dave's whole team had a great start in the race and they would have a chance of being the top team in the competition so far, while the Chaotix and Old Friends were both willing were make a good catch up and the New Villains were completely off to an questionable start. ''Some are kind of stuck.''


The first section of the wooded racetrack contained some of the best new riders on this side of the river, as they were just dealing with the quick chicanes of this part of the course, especially with the fifteen riders that were really good at riding somehow.

''Okay, so everyone's got a chance in this race, as only Vector returns and he's not as good!'' Omochao announced, as Vector managed to get down to fifth place, because he wasn't really that fast of a rider compared to Espio, Mighty and suprisingly, Dave in their respective places.

''Come on, I've actually served costumers!'' Dave whined, despite riding safely and well in the top three riders and this amazing course was actually done with the chicane, but Espio was having a strong first place ride, as this guy controlled his board like it was a part of him.

Espio and Mighty were both fighting for the top spot, as they were actually coming up to a ramp that had some water going in the opposite direction, so it would've slowed down some people that weren't that fast, as the ninja did a double backflip, while the armadillo did an 1080.

They landed on an fake tree trunk with an hollow section for any water to go down, but there was definitely a top section, as Dave landed on it and managed to boost himself foward and so did Belinda, as the villains were winning out in this trunk ride.

''Why do I feel like evil just passed us?'' Mighty asked, just having that gut feeling inside of him, as Charmy was able to do some fly jumping with his own Air Ride.

''Because you guys are slowed down!'' Charmy told the both of them, as he was just able to get out of this trunk and catch up to the two evil riders that were basically trying to extend their leads and the young bee had an statement of declarement.

''OKAY, I'M READY TO STING YOU BOTH TO SOMEWHERE!''

''I can't believe you're trying to pick a fight with me.'' Belinda proclaimed, as this girl was just willing to throw some smoke in the bee's way, but Charmy had some good dodging with the smoke bombs, as this guy had goggles and a reason to dodge.

''You're going to be under arrest...I think!'' Charmy declared, as this young bee was really trying to prove his own point, while Espio was just grinding on the rail above the evil people and the bee, as the race was getting a little bit hotter than before.

''Charmy proves that being fourth is pretty good, while Espio made a small come back into the lead...again!'' Omochao announced, as this young robot chao was just seeing Espio basically dodge his way back into the top position, with Dave now taking second place once again and Belinda managed to be back in third place with an mean attitude to boot.


The rest of them were doing pretty good in terms of the course, as the Lightning Bolts were looking like a team that were in really good sync, as they were taking up sixth, seventh and eighth place at the same time and Vector was struggling to deal with these guys in ninth place, as this guy was surprised that they were powering through this one.

''As the Lightning Bolts become the second best overall team so far, Vector is trying an way to stop that team!''

Vector was actually behind Willy in terms of the shortcut, as these two obstacle breaking riders were really willing to use their boost and own the rest of them and these two were just doing some classic bumping to go through a short underwater section again.

The simple bumps were enough to get some small air-time, as it was hard to control a hover bike or a hover wheel when it was under the surface of the water and they were just being led to a small pond that the leaders just had gone through.

''Espio and Belinda are still leading in first and second, but Vector and Willy are really taking their places up a notch with fifth and sixth place!''

Vector was actually really happy that he was able to bring his best and it got him fifth place and Willy wasn't really that happy, as the hard bump was enough to make Vector lose some momentum in this 180 degree corner and end up in sixth place

''Dave, we're easily going to rock this race!'' Wayne shouted over some kind of walkie-talkie that was actually attached to their own ears and Dave was just looking very smug about this race, being third place and all.

''Keep on doing what you're doing and we're gonna win!'' Dave told the rest of team through the hidden walkie-talkie and the team was really more motivated to do the same thing.

''Walkie talkies aren't really banned, when it's with your own team, so the Bolts have a slight advantage.'' Omochao announced, as the four other teams were a little bit mad that the Bolts were actually getting away with this damn thing and the riders included Breezie, who was doing okay with ninth place. ''Besides that, last place belongs to Ray, so he has to step up!''


To be continued in Part 2c, where the race really gets grooving and the main contestants were ready to prove their best moves.
