Rough Sonic Riders!
Episode 11: Extreme Grass Gear!
Part 1b: It Ain't About Fate!

Yes, it's not about fate, as this is still the Extreme Gear World Grand Prix after all and the teams were still strong competitors in their own right!


Three teams that were about to get on each other's nerves as the race starts, as this was the winners' finals that everybody wanted to have, but wasn't expecting to have Team Chaotix in there.

That being said, it wasn't like it was all bad for everyone, as every single team was ready to have a fun, hard and awesome competition of racing around an seemingly simple oval.

"Uh, that has to hurt. Imagine being up against us." Jet made a simple remark, as the hawk was in a winning mood. "And Sonic's team aren't going to be merciful."

"Yeah, those detectives are going to have do some impossible comeback to even beat Sonic's rusty team, let along us!" Wave proclaimed.

"Wave, they can't make that comeback!"

"They can do it, they have the potential. I don't know if they can take advantage of it, though."

"Potentially I could lose and as you know..." Jet was just pointing towards himself.

"Jet never loses!" Storm just basically stomped on the tarmac, with the modern background being very apparent. "And so does our team-"

"-Most of the time. You can't just go around and act like you're the best at everything, because you're really good at Extreme Gear." Wave just tried to calm down Storm, because the albatross was in the mood.

"I don't you see achieving crazy things, though!" Storm shouted, as the albatross wasn't too bothered.

Wave and Storm were both groaning their butts off at each other, as Jet was plain rolling his eyes at the cattiness, despite the fact that this trio was one of the most domiant characters.

This time, they were not about to keep things loose, as the Babylon Rogues weren't in the mood to lose once with Jet somehow holding it together.

"Come off it, we're a team! A winning team, at that!" Jet proclaimed, as the green hawk had a smug smile. "Wave, you've got the tech to bring some kick-ass moves!"

"I can't believe you said kick-ass." Wave just had a joking smirk, still working on the Extreme Gears.

"Storm, you've got some strong punches and probably can ride a bike pretty good, actually!" Jet continued on, as Storm was just flexing his arms and kicking legs. "We're the Babylon Rogues!"

"We know what we are, it'd be kinda weird if we forget!" Storm yelled with some obvious confidence.

"Yeah, it will actually be weird if we did forget." Wave just said with a seriously dismissive attitude. "At least the paparazzi are heading for somewhere else."

"Maybe Sonic's there and if it's anything like last time, people are gonna be going for him!" Jet was just running towards the track for obvious reasons.

The Babylon Rogues were already having a good time with their racetrack riding and this time, they were pretty much in the clear to do some risky tricks on the racetrack.

They were more than ready to take on the other teams, as Jet, Wave and Storm were just speeding off on their Extreme Gear and respecting the road for no apparent reason.

Besides Jet, who didn't want to not speed through the streets that really wanted him to make on a whole lot of teams that were probably on a list of potential fan-favourites from the regional GPs.

Wave and Storm were actually waving to their overconfident fans to representing a whole lot of a teams.


With the whole situation that was the winners' finals, there was three different teams that were more than willing to bring on their best and Team Sonic was more than willing to do all of that.

They were also exploring the city and the metropolis that housed the winners' final of the World Grand Prix, but that definitely mattered to them because of all of the pictures.

"Er, yo, pictures need to stop." Knuckles just commented, trying to get away from the paparazzi. "I'm doing a serious thing right here!"

"Dude, you're not actually doing that thing right here right now." Sonic made his honest comment. "These guys are annoying!"

"Yeah, no way." Knuckles was just saying it to the fans, who were just waiting paitently for the actual picture.

Sonic and Knuckles were not the happiest about the random photos, as these two were really sheilding their faces from the many cameraman, as Tails was just flying over on the roofs.

Why was the fox actually flying on the roofts to look at exactly nothing, the reason became a little bit more obvious once he looked down at the people that were trying to take pictures.

Pictures that were pretty much made from swamping his friends down there, as there was some people crowding around the hedgehog and echidna.

"Listen, I'm trying to make sure that I'm going to the racetrack and some of you people aren't respecting people's personal space for no reason at all." Sonic was pretty angry at the photographers. "If you want to take pictures, don't do it here!"

"Yeah, what he said for sure." Knuckles wasn't too bothered about the pictures actually.

These two were not very confused about what their situation was, as they sped out of the general area with their fast feet in tow with the photographers left in the dust.

Wherever that dust was clean or not, wasn't going to a good question, as the streets were clean as all heck and the people were as vibrant as everyone for their two favourite guys.

"Let's go, Knux, we've got a fox to catch-Hey, Tails!" Sonic said without missing a beat.

"Yeah, Sonic, just trying to check for certain organisations that shouldn't be here." Tails just said with a serious smile. "Seriously, this thing is just getting creeps out of their beds."

"Honestly, they'll have a hard time finding that Emerald because we're all ready to kick some questionable butts." Sonic was just now riding his boards, having a private conversation.

"Hopefully, they do!" Knuckles shouted. "Otherwise, I'm going to break some knuckles."

"Whoa, there. They could be innocent people caught in a weird situation!" Tails was just keeping it quiet.

"It's going to be real hard distinguishing them and the crooks!" Knuckles wasn't the calmest guy in a situation like this one.


The Chaotix was just pretty much down to not cause some serious problems with each other, as the trio had a few things to do along the way like attempt to make the odds a little bit less stacked which was not happening any time soon.

And also, try to figure why the Master Emerald was stolen and more importantly, how it even got up as an prize somehow and finally, try to stop Eggman from doing some dumb stuff again.

And considering what was happening on the daily, the second one was really the only one that really could be worked on properly.

"You wanna bet that there's a big idiot stopping us? Seriously, you mind doing your own job or something?" Vector asked Charmy, who was playing games.

"I'm trying to do some of the sickest tricks around and make sure that we have a fighting chance in the lead!" Charmy just proclaimed. "Seriously, we need to kick butt!"

"There was going to be a lot of butt kicking anyways." Vector wanted to bring his voice into the place. "We kinda need to find out these guys."

"Listen, you stop needing to eating the subway sandwich." Charmy said. "It ain't gonna make you smell good and also, it's not cool."

"...You done judging me for my food choices? We've got a guy that can help us out." Vector said.

Where was the crocodile at, more importantly, what he was doing at the current moment and this time, there was a whole lot of lunch that he had to eat.

Actually close to Charmy, but for some odd reason, Espio was just missing in action, but he did have a good reason for it related to what Vector said.

Espio was trying to sneak around certain areas without being seen, as the other two were somehow trying to make the gear work pretty well.


To be continued in Part 1c, which is coming pretty later, as there was a whole lot of interactions between all three teams!
