(Author's note)
As you can see, Chapter 3 will have 2 parts to it.
Chapter 3: Dodging the Indoraga Mano? Pt.2
(Summary)
With Team YMS looking at the video clips of Team Cascada's past few races, they have to start thinking if dodging the Indoraga Mano is possible. John is focused on the video clips, trying to see if it was just a glitch. Charlotte and Jasmine wonder what's wrong with John. So, here we go.
(YMS Garage)
" All systems go," Mike yelled to the three pilots.
John, Charlotte, and Jasmine each walked out of the garage. The YMS Hornet mechs were all set and ready to go.
" Good Evening folks, and welcome to the Rematch against Team YMS and Team Cascada. I will be reporting to you live above the track, giving you an in-depth detail on every aspect of this race. Will Team Cascada defeat the Indoraga Mano and win? Or will Team YMS take the checkered flag! Find out, as I report in the Eye above the track!" Benjamin Bright yelled.
Below, the mechs were lined up one by one.
" John, do you think Team Cascada can dodge the Indoraga Mano?" Jasmine asked softly.
No answer…
" I think that's a no…" Charlotte replied to Jasmine.
John was deep into his thoughts, thinking hardly. It was Impossible! No one has ever dodged the Indoraga Mano. But, if what Mike said was true, and then what would he do.
Meanwhile…
" Alright girls! Let's do it!" Sarah called.
" Roger that!"
" And here's the countdown!"

GO!
Team YMS and Team Cascada advanced away from the starting line, the mechs howling with victory.
It was the first corner, and Team YMS had already taken the lead. Team Cascada gained towards the howling Hornet mechs.
Team YMS suddenly formatted into a triangle, switching positions around every glimpse of the track. The triangle would move around in a circle, John would be in the front, then the left corner, and then the right, and all over again.
Sarah quickly sped up, entering the triangle. She caught herself surrounded.
The two other mechs just stood, catching the slipstream.
" Sarah! What the hell are you doing!" Erin yelled.
She didn't answer. All she saw was the Three Hornet mechs still doing the formation.
" Sarah Reimer is in the middle if the Hornet triangle! What will happen next!" Benjamin yelled.
The mechs suddenly glided across the checkpoint, advancing into lap 2.
The three YMS Hornet mechs suddenly disappeared into a thick cloud of smoke, leaving Sarah stranded with her teammates. They looked and looked around, but all they saw was smoke.
Flash!
Charlotte and Jasmine flashed by Sarah and tackled the other 2 Cascada mechs.
" What the…" Sarah gasped, only noticing a flash emitting from the sky.
" AAAAAAAAAAHG!" John yelled, grappling Sarah's mech and tossing it throughout the track.
Sarah quickly got up and started pile driving the Hornet mech.
" Girls, can you here me?" Sarah called out.
No answer…
" This is Cascada Forward speaking. I repeat, can you here me?"
Nothing. Zip. Nada. Squat. Only static covered the transmission…
" This is not good…"
Smoke still surrounded the forward mech, leaving it vulnerable to any attack.
Then…suddenly…
The lead YMS mech appeared in the air, along with the other 2.
" You think you can dodge 1 Indoraga Mano? Well dodge this!" John yelled.
Three tiny orbs appeared nestled into the arms of the YMS mechs.
"Triple-threat Indoraga Mano!" the crew yelled, releasing the tiny orbs.
The tiny orbs suddenly emerged into 3 gigantic twisters.
" Damn!" Sarah yelled. The Cascada mech suddenly emerged into the middle, spinning around in the surrounding hell.
" John!" Charlotte and jasmine yelled, their mechs being pulled into the twister by the Cascada mechs. " We need help-" then the line went blank.
John stood in front of all the suspense. He had just lost contact with his other 2 pilots. What would he do?
John looked around, but the only thing he noticed was this eerie light coming from the center of the twister.
Smack-dab right in the middle was Sarah! She had been floating in the twister the entire time.
A wave of a hand, and john was off.
The YMS Hornet mech barged into the living hell, hovering in front of the Cascada mech.
" Come and get me…" Sarah said softly. She was off.
John went after her, avoiding any flying shrapnel in the air.
There, in the corner of the tornado, Sarah waited.
" AAAAAAAAAAAHG!" John yelled, speeding towards the Cascada mech.
Dodge.
Kick.
Slice!
Sarah dodged the incoming attacks, and then while John was doing a spinning kick, she grabbed the leg.
" What!" john yelled?
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhg!" The Cascada mech spun around, releasing the hornet mech. John glided in all of the suspense, landing outside of the twister.
Sarah then flew out of the twister, making a run for the checkered flag.
John got up and sped towards the mech, leaving the twister behind him.
The two mechs switched to speed mode.
John drafted behind Sarah, gaining the slipstream.
Then it all came down to a neck-in-neck showdown.
ZOOOOOOM!
Both mechs crossed the finish line, John winning by an inch.
" John Mac wins!"
Well, that's it.
