Chapter 11: Sinking Ship
Rahzell shook his head in disappointment as he looked at the morning report. Griff's leg had been re-injured at the hands of Jurgan, and Allegra and Marisol would need a few days to recover from their injuries from their attacks. The only ray of light in the report for Rahzell was that Jurgan was badly injured during the backfired attack he made on Allegra, and that he was not only hurting, but was being fined heavily. Allegra walked into Rahzell's office and sat in a chair across from him. She was sporting a dark blackeye and had many bruises up her arms as well as a few small bumps and cuts in miscellaneous places.
"Rahzell, the XCL women just threw down a challenge to the SSX women for a three on three race tonight." Rahzell shook his head.
"No Allegra, you're hurt." Allegra sat back in her chair.
"Rahzell, please, I need to do this. I want some payback for what they did to me and Marisol." Rahzell sighed, he knew he couldn't get out of this. XCL obviously wanted a three on three women's race because of the condition Allegra and Marisol were in, and if SSX declined they would lose fan support. "Marisol is in no shape to race, she can hardly walk right now with all her back pain, but I'm still good to go, and Kaori's in the shape of her life. Rahzell please let us do this, we can call in one of the rookie girls." Razhell sighed and nodded, shooing Allegra out of his office.

Allegra hopped up and down while the gondola carried them up to the summit of peak two, keeping herself limber. She was pumped up and lusting for some revenge. Kaori was more relaxed, looking out the window as the setting sun stretched the shadows of the trees up the peak. She eyed their rookie and smiled with approval. The rookie's name was Sarah, one of the new kids in the SSX amateur circuit. Sarah stood just a little over five feet tall and was only sixteen years of age, but her amateur races were very impressive, and she looked very focused as she prepared for her first pro race."Nervous?" Kaori asked sweetly. Sarah shook her head and tried to look calm.
"Nah, I've been ready for this all my life. After tonight they're gonna know who's the future of SSX." Allegra smirked, she liked Sarah's confidence and attitude, it reminded her a lot of herself when she was a teen.
"So here's the plan, kiddo." Allegra started. "I'm going to tangle up with those tramps and keep them as busy as I can, you and Kaori just focus on crossing that finish line." Sarah nodded while pulled her toque onto her head.
"That's fine, but I'm gonna tell ya now, if you can't handle those bitches I won't hesitate to take a few down for ya." Allegra laughed and nodded.
"Alright, I'm gonna like you."

The gondola reached the summit and the ladies stepped out of their lift. Just as they were about to exit the station, the XCL women had arrived at the start gate and awaited the arrival of the SSX women. Elise was greeted by thunderous chants of "you sold out" and "slut", the latter chant was regarding a rumour going around that Elise joined Moby because there were more than professional relations going on, but that had not been proven yet. Sarah went to walk out of the tunnel of the station, but Allegra stopped her.
"I'm gonna allow this." Allegra said smugly as the chants grew louder every moment. Elise was getting visibly angry now at the chants and Kaori made her way past the ladies.
"Alright let's go, we've got a race to win." Sarah and Allegra followed Kaori out, Sarah looked at Allegra.
"That was awesome." she giggled, Allegra raised her eyebrows and smirked. The fans now roared with approval as the SSX ladies rode their boards to the starting line. Sarah was very nervous now, doing amateur runs she maybe had a crowd of a hundred on a good day, this was the first time she'd ever ridden before thousands of spectators. She panned her eyes across the crowd, the SSX fans drowned out the XCL fans, which gave her an extra boost of confidence. The women lined up and the countdown began. As soon as the gates opened the women pushed off, Sarah fell behind the pack as the XCL women seemed to totally ignore her. Immediately Sandra and Allegra toppled over one another and they crashed into the snow. Sarah passed them and put her focus on Jess. She got down low to make herself more aerodynamic and eventually she managed to catch up. Sarah grabbed Jess' hood and yanked back, bringing the blonde down to the snow. She tried to keep up with Elise and Kaori but they were long gone. As she flew down the mountainside she saw a pair of bodies tumbling way down ahead of her. Kaori and Elise had tangled up and both wiped out. Sarah thought about stopping to keep Elise busy but Kaori waved her by.
"Keep going!" she shouted, Sarah nodded and gained more speed. She didn't see another XCL woman for the rest of the race and soon she slid across the finish line in first. She jumped off her board and ran up onto the winner's platform. She jumped up with her fist in the air to show the roaring crowd how excited she was. She trembled, she'd won her first pro race and definitely had gained the interest of the officials.

Sarah sat with the other SSX boarders in one of the chalets on peak one, she was still excited by her win. Atomika came in with a letter in his hands."Bad news gang, during the race Allegra re-injured herself taking out Sandra and Jess. She won't be out for long but it's still a big hit to us." The crew was silent. "Now that I've shared that lovely news with you, I need to make a phone call. People, please, try not to add any more names to the injury list." The silence was maddening in the chalet as the news sank in. at this rate XCL would injure SSX out of business.
"Ya know." Eddie started. "Just ONCE I'd like someone to come to us with GOOD news, wouldn't that be great?"
"This is bad." Kaori said finally. "Allegra was the only woman tough enough to take on the XCL women without trouble." Psymon nodded, he stood up and put on his hoodie.
"I've got to make a phone call."

Psymon kicked off his board as he still slid to his lodge. He ran up the stairs and into his lodge. He grabbed the phone and dialed quickly."Come on Zoe, pick up the phone." After a ring an automated voice came on.
"The number you are trying to reach is not in service, please hang up and try again." Psymon looked confused, he didn't think he'd dialed wrong, but he hung up and re-dialed. "The number you are trying to reach is not in service-" Psymon hung up and tried again. "The number-"
"Damn it!" Psymon shouted as he slammed down the phone. He paced and tried to think of any other way to get in touch with her. She handed in her M-Comm when she left SSX, so that was no longer an option, and her phoneline wasn't working or had been disconnected. "Come on Zoe where are you? You can take these chicks down." He kept pacing and thinking, but he couldn't come up with any way to contact Zoe. He thought more and rummaged through a list of phone numbers. "Brody's cell." he thought. He located the number and dialed.
"Hey this is Brody you've gotten my cell but you don't have me. Leave a message." Psymon growled and hung up. He calmed down and called again, again getting the answering service.
"Brody, it's Psymon. I need Zoe to call me immediately, please tell her I called, thanks." He hung up and thought more to himself. He hoped they weren't having trouble, if they couldn't afford to pay their phone bills then they must not be in good shape. Psymon's worry now shifted from the situation with XCL to Zoe and her well-being. "Come on Zoe if you need help just ask for it, damn it where are you?"

Psymon just can't leave well-enough alone can he? Heh yeah us brothers are pains in the butts. The new girl seems to be fitting in just fine, can things finally be looking up for SSX?
