Corn and Yoyo skated to the mall on 99th Street. After a few moments of skating around, trying to find the box, Yoyo sat down. "Yo, we ain't gonna find this thing!"
Corn snickered. "You're sitting on it."
Yoyo fell off the box. After brushing himself off, he looked at it. It was a steel crate, with Eggman's logo on it. "Damn, that sure is uh-gu-ly, yo."
A female voice rang out. "Hold it!"
Corn slapped his forehead. "Ahh no…"
Sure enough, it was two members of Rapid 99, the former queens of the turf (Which now was the GG's). "We have rights on that box!" shouted one.
Yoyo was quick to counter. "YOUR box? Hey, this is GG territory now!"
The other Rapid 99 smirked. "I propose a competition. How about… Flag?"
Yoyo and Corn readily agreed. This was going to be better then when Beat went one-on-three playing Flag against three Rapid 99 members!
The first Rapid 99 member smirked. "Five flags. We start below Benten Tower."
The four gathered below the giant tower that made the street so famous. DJ Professor K's voice emanated from the wristradios. "Here we are again, dear listeners! It's another rousing game of FLAG, with the GG's versus Rapid 99! You ready? Three, Two, One, GO!"
All four skaters raced to find the first flag.
A short while later, the GG's had two flags, while Rapid 99 only had one. Racing to find the next flag, Rapid 99 was a full fifteen meters ahead of the GG's. Unless a miracle happened, it would turn into a tie game. Yoyo decided to take initiative, and Boost Dashed to gain distance. Corn was still a distance away, as he knew where the fifth flag was, and wanted a head start.
Yoyo saw the flag ten meters away. He was now practically neck-and-neck with Rapid 99. If Yoyo did get the flag, the game would be over, and they'd win the box. However, if Rapid 99 got it, the game would go to a tiebreaker with the fifth flag.
Eight meters away…
Yoyo crouched down a bit more to become more aerodynamic, and thus more speedier.
Seven meters away…
There was a rail to the right, about a meter away! Yoyo decided to alter his course to get onto the rail.
Six meters away…
Yoyo leaped onto the rail and began to grind.
Five meters away…
Four meters away…
Three meters away…
Yoyo thought that the Rapid 99 members were talking with each other.
Two meters away…
Yoyo began to reach.
One meter away…
Both Rapid 99 girls Boost Dashed.
"Rapid 99 got a flag! One flag left – It's almost over!"
As soon as Corn heard this, he turned around.
Corn took a moment to look over his shoulder. Rapid 99 were closing in fast! He looked forward, and saw the flag a full twenty meters away. Corn decided not to boost dash now, noting that there were rails.
He ignored them.
A few meters closer, he heard the sound of two Boost Dashes. Rapid 99 was now only two meters away! Corn mustered up all his strength and went faster.
The flag got ever closer. All of a sudden, it felt as time slowed down. Rapid 99 were already reaching for the flag! Corn stretched out his hand. It was only a short distance away from the three hands trying to get it…
"Corn got the last flag!"
Rapid 99 conceded the box to the GG's. Yoyo had a smile on his face as he grabbed the crowbar from off the ground.
"This is gonna be so cool…"
He hit the side of the box, which then exploded into smoke and metal fragments. Out of the remnants stumbled out 6 anthropomorphic animals.
Corn was the first to speak. "Oh my god…"
