Rat Race. . . Anime Style

Chapter 10

The Final Lap!

I have been itching to continue this for a while now. But I wanted to do a different fanfic. Right now I have a bit of writers block for the big fight scene, how to organize it out. Anyway, enjoy this chapter.

Back the hotel, Waylen Smithers was looking at the map of the 'racers' with Pegasus. "Here they come", said Smithers, "They're almost in 50 yards!" "See it's the final lap", said Pegasus. He then called Kroquet. "Croquet, the airport is now back online, so I want you to take the Lear jet, head to Silver City, and give us a play by play from the 'finish line'. Croquet nodded and left. All the while, the other hand, Pegasus' guests were betting to see which of the maids hanging from the curtains would hang on the longest. After the second to last one fell, there was a cheer from some of them.


Vash had somehow managed to lose those Lucys, after hiding in a grassy ditch to get away from them. He then sat up, and saw a sign. It said, SILVER CITY 15 MILES. Vash gasped at how close he was. Then he started wondering how the heck he was going to get there. Then he noticed a farm right near the ditch. It had a horse and nearby was a scarecrow with his type of clothes (courtesy of myself of course!).


Homer looked over his now sleeping family, excluding Bart. "Wow, excellent plan Homer", said Bart. "Well let's go back to Vegas, heh, heh", said Homer.

However, his brief moment of cheerfulness was shattered when Bart said, "Um, Home-boy, I hate to rain on your parade but, we have Neo-Acrossians in the parking lot, and they are looking over the car." "Aaaah", screamed Homer, "What are we going to do, theyaregoingtogetmeandwithmyentirefamilysleepingandlosingtherace IN ONE BLOW!" "Actually Homer, I do have an idea", said Bart.


Soon, Bart and Homer had the now sleeping Marge and Lisa ushered into a nearby cab of a rig (you know one of those cab trucks that haul huge loads). The rig driver looked at his passengers and said, "Um, I don't think I have that much room." "Don't worry", said Homer bringing up Maggie, "This one is little." "By the way thanks for letting us ride", said Bart. "No problem for a fellow truck driver" (A little reference to one Simpsons episode).


Piro and Largo were busy driving alone. Suddenly Piro saw a sign that said, Silver City 28 Miles. "LARGO, look", shouted Piro. "Silver City, 1337! D4 1/1011j i$ 0UR$", shouted Largo. The two high fived each other and headed on towards their destination.

As they drove along, another car pulled up along side them. The person driving it was a female robot called Ropponmatsu, and in the passenger seat, was woman called Misaki Mitsuya. Unfortunatly though, Largo noticed Misaki. "Hey good looking! Wanna ride with D4 1337 master", said Largo. "What's that supposed to mean", asked Misaki. "Something wrong miss", asked Ropponmatsu. "Nothing, just a idiotic geek, keep driving", said Misaki. Then she pulled out a small gun no bigger than a squirt gun (as seen in Excel Saga Episode # 6, The Cold is Winter). "Good thing I brought this in case we met any moochers." With that she pointed it at one of Largo's tires and fired. "Gyaaah", yelled Largo as the car shot into the air with a super blast of an explosion. "What did you do now", asked Piro. "I was just ogling a girl with a laser pistol", yelled Largo. "Once this is over, I will always have you tied up in the trunk", said Piro. Seraphim suddenly appeared and said to Piro, "I think you should be more concerned about where you are landing." She was pointing downwards.

The car landed with a thud in a arena, IN A LINE OF CARS ABOUT TO BE SMASHED BY A BIGFOOT! Piro noticed the Bigfoot starting up. "Uh, Largo, I suggest we panic and fumble our way out of the car right now", he said. "Why", asked Largo. Piro pointed to the Bigfoot speeding up the ramp and said, "That's why." They both screamed as the Bigfoot was in the air. They began scrambling to get out of the car, on the same door, the passenger side door.

After struggling with each other a bit they got out, just in time before the Bigfoot smashed on top of it. A few minutes later, the driver and a few pit crew members came running out to the now smashed car, yelling about the two people in it. However, when they got to it, Piro and Largo were gone. "Where did they go", asked the driver. His question was answered when he saw Piro and Largo make off with his truck. Largo drove right out through the stadium wall, and over most of the cars in the parking lot. While Largo was laughing, Piro said, "This has lawsuit written all over it."


The train was zooming along the tracks. Inside, Excel was just looking at all the telephone poles flashing by her window. She soon settled back into her seat. Suddenly she heard the announcer say, "Silver City. Next stop, Silver City." "Silver City did he say." Then leaping up with the key in hand she yelled, "Soon Illpalazzo, I, Excel will soon win, and provide plenty of funds for both myself and the good will of ACROSS' city domination plan! With this key, and this train approaching the city at high speeds which is unknown to Excel, but who cares, Excel will soon have the $2 million dollars! HAIL ILLPALAZZO!" With she did her salute which unfortunately flung over her head and on to some random persons head, waking that person up. "Uggh", said the guy, "Did I miss my stop?" The key slipped into his shirt pocket. He soon turned to see a rampaging Excel. "HEY YOU GIVE ME THAT KEY YOU LOATHING PIECE OF THE IGNORANT MASSES!" "I don't know what you are talking about", shouted the guy. "Oh yes you do", he said grabbing the guy. "NOW HAND IT OVER. . ."

As the train heads off towards it's next destination, with the commotion on board, it passes by a certain man-sized mantis, and a certain cow, hanging from a certain balloon. "Wait, come back", yelled the mantis, as the train passed by, "Don't leave me!" Below the cow just mooed.

Sorry it took so long folks, but I have been busy with another fanfic, and I was having trouble with that scene with Piro and Largo (I have been trying to find the right girl for that scene). Also, I was busy finishing up the semester. Don't worry though the next chapter is up here too. SO HIT NEXT!
