Endor: episode #7 The Race ends
Anyway,
the Race is 3/4 the way over. Let's
review what has just happened in even greater detail! Id rigged Walker's ship in hopes to win the race. The race started. Walker takes the lead, a very good lead.
Not too long into
the race he says, "What's wrong."
Soon his ship
stops. Now, the Race is setup in a
triangle shape. There is a mid
checkpoint exactly in between the start and finish. The checkpoint is an island.
They had all made it past the checkpoint. Sky, I, Iot, and the rest of the crowd have just taken horses to
the finish by land. A guy had told them
Walker was in the lead. Sky was
pleased. Then, Walker's ship stopped
and was forced out of the race. This
saddened Sky. She didn't care or pay
attention to the rest of the race!
Anyway, a tow man came and asked Walker what was wrong with his
ship. Walker had told him he didn't
know. So he began towing him out of the
race. Id takes the lead and it looks
like he's going to win. The racers are
in view. That is where new info. Will
be given. Who will win the race?
Jed saw that Walker is no longer in the
race. "Where could Walker be?"
Then he saw the
tow ship. He was that far behind. He realized what had happened and also
realized he now had a chance at the race.
Not a very likely one, but a chance.
That was what he needed. He had
enough determination. But could he pull
it off? Suddenly, Jed was going his
hardest. He put so much energy into it
that he didn't notice he had passed all ships...but one. But the crowd did. They knew. The crowd went
wild! Id glanced back and saw Jed on
his tail.
"Oh no. I should have rigged his ship, too!"
But it was too late for that and Id and
everyone else know that. Then, it was
then that Jed realized what had happened.
He had enough willpower to do so, but could he do so? Jed knew that only one remained and it was
within his reach.
Iot says, "Use your water power blaster
controls!"
Id was thinking
the same thing. He pushed it and saw
the waterpower thing was empty!
"Oh no, now I'm
really in trouble.
Id pushed his ship as fast as he could. It was not fast enough. Id and Jed are neck and neck and the finish
line is only 4 feet away. Id was
thinking that if only his water blaster controls worked. (It was a hidden compartment that when the
lever is activated, it sprays out water high so the people around him can't see
for a brief moment and it makes him go faster.
But the starting condition is that it has to have water in it.) Jed pushed with his remaining strength and
took the lead. In a matter of seconds
he crossed the finish line. First! Id was second and the rest followed. The crowd cheered and hugged the
others. Walker and the toe men came
into view. They hugged and celebrated. Except Sky and Walker.
Walker says, "I
just don't understand it. I even
checked the ship last night and there was nothing wrong with it!"
Sky shook her
head and said, "Isn't it about time for the meeting?"
With that last
sentence said then, a bunch of, "Oh yeah," and they all headed for the meeting
hut.
