After the great race in Japan GP, where Akko had an incredible victory, another week goes by, that same week the couple Cavendish Kagari trained with everything since they were about to arrive in the last race of the year.
The WBRC grand final comes the big day of the last race, who stayed in the pole position was Diana who tried her best and ended up with the same time as Akko, but as Cavendish got the pole position first was hers, which is impressive, on the day of the race two people asked to stay on the radio and give orders to both Diana and Akko in the race, Henrietta was even a little reluctant about it but this same person responds with a "Henrietta, it's all or nothing now, Diana needs to be comfortable to get this victory and bring her last title of the team, I will do everything to bring joy to the team and make my Diana be champion today," in which Henrietta even lets Laura stay on the radio in that race.
20th October 2019, a day like any other that the Cavendish Kaga couple... It didn't start as a day like any other cliché, it started with Croix and Laura squeezing to pass the door of the hotel room where Diana and Akko were staying, the two of them of course, were covering their bodies with blankets, since they had just woken up from a night of love.
- Laura fuck you! Let me pass! Your fat ass is not letting me through this door.
Says Croix.
- And that Charlotte belly of yours won't let me go see my daughter!
Says Laura.
- Damn mother! Let Mrs. Croix through, she's pregnant! Give the preference at once!
Says Diana with her hand on her face while Laura gives way to Croix.
- Get up and get cleaned up. Today you are going with us, I will be on the radio for you today Akko, as in the old days of BBRT, already Laura will be with Diana. What a shame for you Diana.
Says Croix laughing as Laura inflated her cheeks.
- You didn't have to go to our room to wake us up in the morning; the race is at night, just to let us know they are on the radio.
Says Akko.
After they announce that they will be on the radio during the race. Then the couple Cavendish Kagari will take a bath and at the moment they change and leave the hotel room, soon they are called by Laura and Croix who take them to the circuit to discuss race strategies even though there is still a long time to start.
Hours later the race was close to happening, the whole world was vibrating, the audience that day was an all-time record, never before have so many people come to watch a broom race, the audience was even bigger than the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Tour GP which is the biggest car racing event in the world. The World Broom Racing Championship Grand Final was with more than half a billion televisions around the world tuned in to watch the great race. In the UK there were 87% of televisions connected to watch the race, in Japan there were 74%, millions and millions of people around the world wanted to know who would be the champion, Akko Kagari or Diana Cavendish.
In the circuit the grandstands were full, 36% of the seats were occupied by Scots who traveled to Australia just to cheer for a victory of Diana, 44% were Japanese who because they lived closer was easier to go watch the crowd, and the other 20% were among locals and people from other countries, it was really a crowd that came for a decision that caught fire.
- Here we are to narrate the gran finale of the 2019 World Broom Racing Championship season! After an amazing season! We are saying goodbye to the two possible champions in this race!
Says Harriet.
- Diana Cavendish, The Flying Scot!
Says Freya.
- Akko Kagari, The Samurai Kagari!
Says Harriet.
- We are seeing something big here, one of the two can become two-time champion, Akko Kagari can be the first Japanese two-time champion and Diana Cavendish is in search of the second title in a row by her.
Says Freya.
- And we have a big surprise for this event, as it has 50% chance of Akko Kagari and Diana Cavendish points to tie; we decided here that it will have an extra point for those who take the fastest lap of the race.
Says Harriet.
After a few minutes comes the time of the race, it was 8 o'clock at night at the Buckland Park circuit, the racers arrive at the track and do the performance lap while playing "The Final Countdown - Europe". It was a light drizzle, which made the runners use rainy weather wings, it was 15C/59F. After the presentation lap the racers line up on the grid in the order 2/25/12/27/21/88/9/33/44/1/66/8/0/98/93/17/42/99/31/55/18/69/91/69/11/48, the lights signal the start.
- And now! The red light comes out! The green light signals the beginning! And lights out and so we start a World Broom Racing Championship race!
Says Harriet.
Diana and Akko have a perfect start and already start to open in relation to the other runners behind, the two were parallel and soon after arriving in the straight after the first curve sparks started to come out of the two brooms for the joy of the public.
Lap 1 of 71, began the first of the laps that were to come, in that same lap both Diana and Akko were parallel, with Cavendish who was leading. To the joy of the Scottish fans who were even more vibrant with the dispute.
If Diana finishes the race in this position and Akko finishes in second the two will tie with 166 points, if the Kagari wins the race she becomes the champion with 169 points, while Cavendish would only get 163 points if she finishes the race behind the Japanese, what the Scot is running after is the extra point per fastest lap, which in case the number 2 finishes winning the race may be the determining factor for the championship of both.
- And what an incredible dispute these two will have ahead!
Says Harriet.
- Look Diana gives it all today, don't worry about Akko behind you pressing you, just run against yourself, carefree and without pressure.
Says Laura very seriously on the radio.
- Just put to fuck girl! Just like the old Akko days! So let's be champions today.
Says Croix on the radio.
- And apparently we have familiar voices on the radio, with Laura McLaren being Diana Cavendish's racing engineer and Croix Meridies with Akko Kagari, we have here five WBRC titles in two teams, fighting for the sixth.
Says Harriet.
Lap 3 of 71, Akko and Diana continue parallel, but this time Kagari decides to hold on a little longer while Diana was ahead, which made Laura much more apprehensive and tense.
- (It will wait until the perfect moment for the attack... Shit... I need to think of something... I know, if I make Diana put to fuck now Akko can be isolated on Monday and try the fastest lap... That may take Diana's championship even if she wins the race, but it is the only strategy that is more viable for this race).
- Diana... Go with everything girl, this race is only yours, take advantage that Akko will stay behind and shoot, give it all!
Says Laura on the radio.
- Understood!
Says Diana on the radio.
- From what it seems the Flying Scot is going to fly low right at the start of the race.
Says Harriet.
Lap 5 of 71, in that Laura warned Diana to tighten a little more the rhythm and go with everything, Akko was already noticing a slight distance that Cavendish was giving and in that starts to be a little more attentive, until she receives a message from Croix.
- Akko, don't force too much, just keep a strong rhythm, if even so Diana distances herself, don't worry, finishing in the second position is still standing, what you need is the fastest extra point back.
Says Croix on the radio.
- Understood Croix, I will try my best!
Says Akko on the radio.
Lap 10 of 71, Little by little Diana was already opening a distance from Akko, while Kagari was just following a strong rhythm, the difference from Cavendish to Japanese was 7 seconds at that moment, as well as until then the Scot who was with the fastest lap of the race, ensuring the extra point. While the public was going crazy, even more the Scottish fans, as the screen constantly showed that Diana was with 167 points over Akko's 166.
- It's going very well Diana, keep it up girl.
Says Laura on the radio.
- Not yet Akko, keep going at the same pace, soon you take this faster lap.
Says Croix.
Lap 13 of 71, while Diana and Akko continued to lead the race, an accident happens in the back and ends up calling a yellow flag followed by safety broom and in that as time had stopped raining, both Kagari and Cavendish take the opportunity to switch to dry weather wings.
- Woah! Mei Takacrash keeps on crashing, but that one always changes the course of the race!
Says Harriet.
- Box, Box, Box. Greater grip, let's try the best lap.
Says Croix on the radio.
- Box, Box. Greater grip, we have to try the best lap, before it rains again.
Says Laura on the radio.
Lap 15 of 71, that safety broom was on the track Diana and Akko still did not lose the lead, but were close again, while all the runners opted for wings of long duration, both Kagari and Cavendish opted for wings of greater grip, in this the two come out almost equal in the race, distancing themselves from all the rest of the racers.
- Wings with higher grip, these two are practically racing alone, as if they didn't have 23 other racers, this is incredible!
Says Harriet.
- Go with everything Diana, don't wait for Akko to go with everything!
Says Laura on the radio.
- Understood.
Says Diana on the radio.
- Wait until the 20 Akko lap, but do not try to lose sight of Diana, so you will have the wings more prepared to try this faster lap.
Says Croix on the radio.
- Right!
Says Akko on the radio.
- And yet these two want to follow different strategies for the race, Akko Kagari does not even wish a last victory.
Says Harriet.
Lap 20 of 71, Diana was on fire taking a fast lap after the other, it was impressive how she managed to each lap decrease by tenths of a second the time of the race, the purple clock of best lap of the race appeared all the time for her, in this she opened 10 seconds in relation to Akko who decided to hold on a little.
- Now!
Says Croix on the radio.
Lap 21 of 71, Akko starts to go with everything after receiving the orders from Croix, while the public gets even more euphoric and attentive to the time of return of each one, starting there a battle for faster turns.
Laps which Akko takes the fastest lap: 21, 22, 23, 27, 29, 31, 33.
Laps which Diana takes the fastest lap: 24, 25, 26, 28, 32, 34.
Lap 35 of 71, in which the two are constantly battling for the fastest lap of the race, and constantly were going one lap better than the other, the public was jumping with emotion, the score on the screen changed all the time, it was a huge tension in finding out which of the two could become champion.
- Diana! Stop going with everything! That way your wings will explode!
Says Laura on the radio.
- Akko! Slow down your wings may explode!
Says Croix on the radio.
The two practically ignore the orders of the radio and in this they continue to go with everything to try the fastest lap, since Akko did not want to let Diana take the fastest lap and neither Cavendish wanted Kagari to continue with the fastest lap.
Lap 36 of 71, Akko and Diana continue to pull with everything, the two were on fire until sparks came out of the wings of the two brooms, being the Cavendish's that was further ahead the one that ends up exploding, in this the Scottish is taking the broom to the pits, at the same time the Japanese also suffers with an explosion in the wing and takes to the pits. Both Croix and Laura hit their hands on the face. The public was going crazy hoping that the two would get to the pits on time.
- Woah! But that's spectacular! The Flying Scot and the Samurai Kagari went so far that the wings couldn't take it!
Says Harriet.
- Box, Box, wings of greater grip and I warned you girl.
Says Laura on the radio.
- Box, Box, Box, wings of greater grip, listen to me when I speak to slow down Akko, this is a decisive race for us.
Says Croix on the radio.
Lap 37 of 71, even after this unforeseen they did not lose their positions and still remained in the lead of the race so dominant that they were, as they had changed wings started another fierce battle for fast laps in a row. The public jumped with emotion when they saw purple clocks appearing all the time, even reaching in certain laps to become golden. This time it wasn't so easy anymore to take each second of a faster lap, even if the difference of both is 10 seconds to each other and the track is clean only with a few retards that took turns of the couple.
Laps which Akko takes the fastest lap: 38, 40, 43, 44, 45, 49, 51, 54, 55, 58.
Laps which Diana takes the fastest lap: 39, 42, 46, 50, 53, 56.
Lap 59 of 71, Akko and Diana were on fire to get the fastest lap of the race, so much so that they were taking 1:11 and breaking the track record that was Laura McLaren's, the two fought fiercely for that fastest lap. Diana is the one who ends up being the one who takes the best lap with 1:11:432, almost 2 tenths ahead of Akko's last fastest lap. The public was delirious; the Scots were already running out of fireworks as they were shooting every time Cavendish took a faster lap.
- We are seeing something unique today! Diana Cavendish and Akko Kagari broke the track record that was Laura McLaren's in 1993, these two racers are amazing!
Says Harriet.
- Excellent lap Diana! Keep it up!
Says Laura on the radio.
Lap 60 of 71, without wasting time Akko was also going very strong in that lap and with a perfect line, without making a mistake, going meticulously in each sector; it was an incredible sequence of purple sectors, until Kagari finishes that lap with 1:11:298. The Japanese go crazy celebrating with that faster lap, even more with something that happened in the front with Diana's broom having problems and again the wings of Cavendish's broom exploding.
- Woah! For the second time in this race with the same runner we are seeing wings exploding! That's adrenaline!
Says Harriet.
- Manual mode! That's all! Manual mode!
Says Laura on the radio.
- Understood.
Says Diana on the radio.
- And we will have a race finish in manual mode! How amazing!
Says Harriet.
- Manual mode! Akko activate manual mode! 11 laps to go give it your best and try the fastest lap.
Says Croix on the radio.
- Understood.
Says Akko on the radio.
Lap 61 of 71, the two starts flying on the track in the manual broom mode for 10 laps, Laura even closes her eyes so she can feel the magic of her daughter and know whether or not she could go with everything. The public was shouting both for Diana and Akko, it was being one of the biggest parties in both countries, a great affliction also took care of the two places, since one of them could go out losing.
Lap 64 of 71, Laura notes that Diana was with enough magic to finish the race at that pace and still try a faster lap while Akko still had magic to burn, since it did not seem to force so much what leaves McLaren a little tense.
- Mom! We are almost at the end of the race! I can't hold on here, I have to try the fastest lap!
Says Diana on the radio.
- Not yet sweetheart, when it comes back I'll let you know.
Says Laura radio.
Lap 69 of 71, Akko was on fire, on that same lap the Japanese woman manages to lower the time and take the fastest lap of the race again with a time of 1:11:222. The Japanese fans were crying with emotion, it was a tremendous euphoria to see Kagari one step away from being champion.
- Diana! Its all or nothing girl, you have enough magic to try this last fastest lap and then finish the race... Go with everything and win this race for us!
Says Laura on the radio.
Lap 70 of 71, Diana starts her fast lap, it was amazing how she was taking several purple sectors, going on the edge of the track, almost leaning against the wall, it seemed that the broom was even on a track so perfect and aggressive that it was at that lap, until reaching the last corner the Cavendish goes a little too fast and brakes with everything that causes a slight skid at the exit, at the moment she finishes the lap the time was 1:11:234. Observing the return of her daughter, Laura was very emotional, but at the end, only a great silence followed by tears took care of McLaren, Bernadette was around and watched her wife crying. The Scottish public was very excited about the flying Scot lap, but at the end, many were frustrated, while the Japanese jumped for joy, shouting for Akko.
- Woah! This Diana's lap was amazing! But that mistake in the end was what cost her championship, unless in this last lap she finishes with everything.
- Ahhh! Damn! Fuck! Shit! So how was that lap? I'm sure I didn't make it... Mom?
Says Diana on the radio.
- This is Mother Bernadette... Unfortunately you didn't, my love, you lost for only 12 thousandths, now take the broom to the end and consecrate your last victory, you ran like nobody else today ...
Says Bernadette while Laura cried on her wife's chest.
- Got it...
Says Diana already starting to cry.
- It seems that after this message we are sure that Akko can be the champion.
Says Harriet.
Lap 71 of 71, Diana finishes the lap and wins the Australian GP, but without becoming champion a few meters after crossing the finish line to Cavendish is with the magic exhausted and stands crying a little.
- And Diana Cavendish! The Flying Scot! Wins the 2019 Australian GP! What an exciting race! As much as she doesn't consecrate herself to the champion, she ran like one!
Says Harriet.
- Fantastic race, baby... We tried what we gave, but hey, at least your beloved succeeded. P1 Diana, P1...
Says Laura crying on the radio.
Akko was arriving at the finish line to cross in the second position and receive the title of two-time champion in that she arrives and crosses the finish line, while she obeyed Diana running to the same signaling for her to stop.
- And here she comes! Akko Kagari! The champion of the 2019 World Broom Racing Championship season! For the second time in her career! The Samurai Kagari! Finishing in second position!
Says Harriet.
- Ahhh! I am champion! We got Croix!
Says Akko crying with emotion on the radio.
- That's it! That's how you race with brooms, girl! What a spectacular race! P2! And breaking your second title in the World Broom Racing Championship!
Says Croix on the radio.
In that Diana sends Akko to stop the broom the Cavendish goes to the bleachers division and takes a fan's Japanese flag, at the same time showing all the sports spirit for her girlfriend, the Scottish woman rides the broom of Kagari and signals her to take that lap, while the number 2 raised the Japanese flag for the whole public around the track.
- What a beautiful moment! Even losing the championship, Diana Cavendish shows that she has enough sporting spirit.
Says Harriet.
- Are you crying love?
Says Akko crying while listening to Diana cry.
- You are too. Or you'll say its sweat in your eyes.
Says Diana trying to laugh while Akko cried with happiness.

After the podium ceremony, the post-race interview starts right there on the track, which Akko takes the microphone and thanks for winning another championship, as well as motivates even more the witches of human origin not to give up their dreams. After that the final party starts where the broomsticks of the racers take a walk around the circuit doing maneuvers and fireworks were fired. What was one of the biggest events in history regarding sports, the record attendance that day was incredible, the hotels in Adelaide, which was the closest big city, were full and sold out.
After the whole party is over, the two girls go back to the paddock where they meet a Laura still very crying hugging Diana and Bernadette, while Akko hugged Croix thanking them for their help, after that Cavendish goes to Kagari putting her hand on her shoulder.
- Bellatrix, our daughter would be called Bellatrix Cavendish Kagari.
Says Diana.
- Bellatrix? What a beautiful name my love... I thought of the name of one of the nine witches for our daughter, I don't know if you'll like it...
Says Akko.
- Of course I will like it, my lady.
Says Diana smiling.
- Marianne Kagari Cavendish, which will be the name of our future daughter.
Says Akko.
- I didn't like it... I loved it.
Says Diana embracing Akko.
After this moment of the couple, the girls use Laura's transportation magic to quickly return to the Cavendish family residence and in this they soon encounter Chelsea and Saori who saw the race on television running towards Akko and embracing her, after another title won, Just like little Hellene who hugs Diana saying "I saw you crying on TV and almost was crying, no more sis, so I cry too, you also mom Laura," McLaren was still very emotional, but after a while and many caresses she is even proud to see her daughter-in-law being champion.
See you, Kagari Champion...
