Part D

[Man, tea is the best! Now where was I? Oh yeah!]

Garam got to the graffiti stop and tagged Cube, the new leader. Cube saluted Garam and jolted off the small pipes heading down the winding curves.

Cube hopped on the left pipe and started grinding down. [Cube is going to go through the complete circuit of the Bottom Point. After that, she needs to get to Kibogoaka Hill.]

[The Bottom Point is known for it windy ways. It is not a good place for newbie skaters. For most the winding ways are very nauseating.] Cube felt relaxed as she went down the declining S bend after S bend. She was the only one who could find relaxation from this.

Right away, as Cube got to the bottom, she hopped up to the grating suspended above the half pipes. More turns. Turn after turn after turn until she got to the next half pipe, leading the first square room. She was as quick as lightning she was out of the first room and cruising down the next half pipe. Soon enough she was in her lower sanctum. Her main Poison Jam hideout. The place where the water below was intoxicated and turned purple. There standing in her way, were to Poison Jam members.

"Hey, here she comes!" spotted one of them and they stood up and got in the way of this path. Cube got in front of them.

"Cube! We can't let you do this! Join us again. The GG's are going to lose we know it! Come back to the Poison side!"

Cube stared at them before kicking them both in the groin and jumping over their bodies as they doubled over.

"Yeah, just stand in front her and tell her what to do! She'll believe us, you say! She'll join us again, you say! Moron," stormed one Poison Jammer in the utmost annoyed sarcasm.

Cube entered the area with the pipes and she jumped onto the red one. While grinding on it, she pulled a boost dash and giggle at the funny feeling in her stomach. It wasn't nausea, more like butterflies, but ticklish. Most people would have vomited from this.

Cube got off the pipe and into the half pipe. Then, she was at the next area that was identical to the one she was just at. She did the same routine; grind red rail, boost dash, giggle. After so she reached the third area with the pipes. This one was different from the others and Cube took the blue rail to pick up more spray cans. Soon as she got to the end of the blue rail she had to jump off and land on the red, which led to the loops.

Cube approached the loops. She knew a split second shortcut she could use here. Instead of going around the loops, she would go right through them! Just get on the rail, jump, land on the rail on the other end of the loop, clear the gap, then do the same first steps for the loop on the other side. That was what she did, and it cut only mere seconds off her time. She reached the last half pipe and was back at the main room. She left the Bottom Point of the Sewage Facility, back into the Sewage Facility and made her way to Kibogoaka Hill. At the graffiti stop at Kibogoaka Hill, the pint- sized member of the GG's was waiting there.

Cube gave a pet on the head of the pup, and Potts was off for his run. [Originally, It was supposed to be Rhyth, but she wasn't feeling well that morning so they set Potts to go instead. Rhyth would go some other time. Now anyway, Potts has to go through the circuit of Kibogoaka Hill and then head for the Fortified Residential Zone. Go Potts!]

Potts was already up the stairs and had jumped onto the power line to the left. It is possible for one to go about 3/4s of Kibogoaka Hill in one combo. Potts was going to try that. He made his way through all the power lines of the beginning and was now at the part where in the very large tunnel where the water looked funky. Once Potts missed a line, but go it back after a wallride. This is all you can really note Potts did as he didn't do anything out of normal gameplay.

Soon enough he was at the area with the huge power lines. Potts went to the top ramp and jumped off. He landed on the top right side of the left set of power lines. This would lead him to the top level of the other side. When he got there and went through the gate, he saw the doomsday clock, which was at the current time, spinning. This means that Potts got there in roughly a bit more than two minutes. The rest was easy and Potts was back at the beginning. He headed back into the Sewer and was out a second later but now he's in the Fortified Residential Zone. Waiting there at the graffiti stop was the red-haired freak.

[The Fortified Residential Zone is deep in the ghetto, like Corn once said. It really is too. At the very beginning there are these washing machines sitting out in the open. It's not a great place to live and very few people live there. One this is, the water generator's noise in there drives them insane. Another reason is that many scientists conduct weird experiments there. Anyway, Clutch, who was described by the other narrator, has to grind the metal giant and then head for 99th street.]

Because of two factors; one being that DJ K took so long to explain what was going on; and two being the fact that this fic really needs to move along because the ending is the most important, Clutch was already grinding the metal giant. Realizing that the people listening are getting bored, DJ K speeds up our story.

Clutch turned around and instead of going back down the metal giant, he decides to jump off. If you aim just right, you can end up one floor below the grating that the metal giant ends at. That's what he did and although he landed funny, he was on his way. He grinded down the rest of the stairs and got down to the bottom. He skated out of the Fortified Residential Zone and into the Sewer. From the Sewer he went back to Rokkaku- dai heights and took the shortcut path that led back to the GG garage. Clutch yawned. It must be getting late. The sun was setting. By the time he got to 99th street, it was dark out. He grinded down the tail of the dragon and turned around to the back of 99th street to where he found his partner waiting at the graffiti stop. The blonde wearing the helmet had her hands on her hips and was staring at Clutch, waiting for him to get there.

And so, Clutch tagged Gum and she headed off. Better get this over with, she thought. [Gum has to go to the bridge at the left area of 99th Street. After that she has to go to the bridge of the black out section. After that she has to go to the top of Benten Tower and then head to the former future site of Rokkaku Expo Stadium. Did ya know that 99th Street at night was rated the best place to go on a first date. There's a lot of shopping to do around there.]

Gum was already at the first bridge and she turned around and headed off to the next bridge. As she was heading down the path to the black out section, a cold chill went up her spine. This was not only because it was cold there but also the place was creepy. Barely anyone ever went there, it's so abandoned. The main crowd is any couple trying to get away from the crowd where they can make out undisturbed.

Gum reached the bridge and turned around. Gum wanted to get out of the blackout zone as fast as possible. It was just too dark, dank, and creepy.

Gum was out and she made her way to the spiral dragon's tail in which she used to grind all the way to the top. What she always found weird up top is that there were always one or two people up top too. How did they get up there? She disregarded this as she got to the top and jumped back off, making a smooth landing and heading off the future site of Rokkaku Expo Stadium. There awaiting Gum's arrival at the graffiti stop was the white haired girl with a scarf.

Gum tagged Jazz with relief and Jazz started her run. [Nobody knows what was going to happen at the Rokkaku Expo Stadium. I'm not saying I'm angry I didn't find out though. Anyway, Jazz has to run through the Rokkaku Expo Stadium circuit, and then head for Pharaoh Park. There she has to circle the Pharaoh twice and come back to the graffiti stop.]

Jazz did a good job hugging all the turns. This area was Jazz's forte. She tackled all the turns from the first left, to the left again, to the right turn, to the next right, to the left and to the left again to complete the small area. Already she was on her way out through 99th Street.

In the Skyscraper District and Pharaoh Park at the beginning on the road Jazz was grinding the rail. She was grinding until she heard a sort of "Snap" and she had to jump off. "Crikey!" she said to herself. She got into Pharaoh Park and past the black girl wearing a revealing garment standing on the graffiti stop. She waved. [Jazz still had to circle the Pharaoh twice.]

Jazz headed down the walkway and came across the Pharaoh in which she started skating around. She wasn't grinding around, just skating. [What's Jazz doing? Why isn't she grinding?] After the two circles Jazz headed back up the walkway and toward the pyramid. [How's she gonna get up without grinding?] Jazz ran up the side of the pyramid like a ramp and jumped back up to the top. She ran right to Boogie and tagged as fast as possible before she leaned over and tried to catch her breath. Boogie took off.

As Boogie left, one of the race sponsors came up to Jazz.

"Hey you okay?" asked the sponsor.

"Yeah, fine," spat Jazz.

"Are you going to need help getting to Sky Dinosaurian Square?" questioned the sponsor.

"Errr." Jazz struggled, ".Yeah. I guess."

"Alright, follow me. Get in." He directed her to a black minivan with tinted windows. She got in. Instead of there being a middle seat and a back seat, there was one big seat that went along the sides of the car in the back. [Kinda like a limousine's back, but obviously shorter. It wasn't as luxourious either but was pleasurable.] Jazz sat back as she heard one door close and then the other. The engine started and she felt it move.

[Now back to Boogie. She has to grind up to the high observatory and then somehow get back down and go to Highway Zero. The race is almost over. Now, where is Boogie? Hold on, hold on. Ah, there she is! Wouldn't you know it? She's already at the observatory deck! Dang she's fast!]

Boogie grinded up the blue lights to the very top of the observation tower. She stood near the railing and looked at the descent. "It's a long way down," she said out loud. Nobody was around, it didn't matter. Boogie stood near the other railing and stared at the telescope.

"Well, here goes nothing!" she said as she jumped onto the telescope into a grind.

[I'm hungry. Are YOU hungry? Good. I'll go get a snack. I'll tell ya more later.]
