Kirby and the Legend of Dragoon and Hydra
Chapter 2: Race
**************************************************
VOOOM! Dragoon and Hydra ripped by at an incredible speed. The first few miles of the course ran strait so the Hydra machine had the advantage. It roared off, no trouble. It was traveling an easy 100 mph, while Dragoon, which was meant for air travel, was barely making 60. The Hydra pilot looked over his shoulder and saw that he had gained at least 60 yards on his opponent. He laughed at this. It was going to be an easy win.
The two reached the end of the stretch and now the course was curving. It followed along the bed of a long dried out river. The course was slightly bumpy, which put Hydra down to 90 mph. The Dragoon pilot saw an upcoming dune. Using it as a ramp, he coordinated his alignment perfectly for flight. The ride hit made it. The Dragoon soared above the track, casting down a menacing shadow upon its competition. Now, instead of the slow pace it had on the ground, Dragoon was making 110! Again the racers were neck and neck.
The next area they came to was a steep climb up a mountainside. Dragoon's pilot brought it down to the slope and began ascending. Hydra and Dragoon were evenly accelerating, and both were approaching the finish.
The mountain just kept going. The air became thinner and hard to breathe. Both drivers glared at each other. Up and up he mountain climbed. Finally, the peak was reached. VrrrRRROOOM!!! The drivers took flight. Seeing Dragoon in the lead, the pilot of Hydra decided it was time for a change in pace.
An unseen panel flipped up and unveiled a button marked "caution". The pilot hit it and the whole ride began to shake. Suddenly, the boosters glowed with a blue flame and pushed the Hydra forward into the rear of Dragoon. This caused Dragoon to aim towards the ground and Hydra along with it. Closer and closer, people again were visible in the stands. Both machines began glowing red from the heat of friction when coming down at such a velocity. The ground was less than an acre away. They could see individual rocks along the course. 10 yards left. And then... Impact!
Dirt flew into the air. The rides lay in the crater they had made, pilots stunned. As soon as they regained their senses, both rides again took off. Both were even in the final stretch. It looked as though there would be a tie.
Nobody suspected what happened next...
