AN: Surprise Surprise. Welcome to the second installment of arguably one of the best SSX Fan fictions ever. This is a sequel to "SSX Snow Gods: Frozen Hearts" so if you haven't read that, go read it first.
When we last left the SSX roster, Drum had just been framed for sabotaging a race. Allegra threw away her friendship with Viggo for JP, Psymon is stuck between two situations, Eddie is growing more and more jealous of the two men Elise pines after, Nate and Atomika, and Zoe seems to have found a love interest in Drum.
Will everything turn out well as planned? Looks like we are about to find out.
Disclaimer: You have been here long enough, you know what's gonna go here.
SSX Snow Gods: Second Heat - Rated PG-13 for language, violence, partying, rating may go up in later chapters.
Chapter 1: Speculation
"I still can't believe he did it." Mac sighed, sitting on one side of the trolley as it crawled up to Peak 2.
"I refuse to believe he did it." Yuri nodded, not really talking to Mac, just thinking out loud.
"I dunno...he is kinda shady."Griff said with a matter-of-factly tone to it, Kaori just shook her head.
"He is so nice! He wouldn't do something like that? Would he?" Kaori whispered.
Drum had been accused of sabotaging the Snow Gods Challenge between he and Zoe, it was the talk on everyone's lips.
"No way, I mean. The guy is genuine; he really wouldn't need to stoop that low to beat Zoe." Mac defended, "And even then, if he really did do it, wouldn't he of just finished the race and won it for himself?"
They all thought about it, Griff was the first to break the silence.
"Plus, Zoe and him did fuck." Griff said, snickering, Yuri, Mac, and Kaori gave him a good smack across the head.
"What!? They did!" Griff shook, still laughing.
"We don't know that for sure!" Kaori said, blushing like she always does when a subject like this comes about.
"I mean...they MIGHT of...then COULD have...but...we don't know!" Kaori covered her cheeks waiting for anyone to jump in on the conversation.
The trolley rolled to a stop, Allegra, Viggo, and Moby and Eddie were already there.
"Well, besides all of that. We gotta race to do." Mac jumped off, strapping his board on and coasting to the starting line.
Rahzel could be heard over the loud speaker, the audience getting louder by the second.
"Welcome to Ruthless Ridge!" Rahzel yelled,
The riders all took turns waving to the crowd as they popped up on the big screen, and the ready lights began to flash. Even though they were friends off the snow, they knew that on the snow anything was legal, and all that mattered is that they won.
Red.... Yellow.... Green
They were off! Moby took a quick lead, pushing Viggo out of the way.
"Come' on!" Viggo yelled after Moby, pushing himself up.
"No way in hell I am losing another race, not this time!" Viggo leaned into the slope, gaining speed; he passed up Griff, much to his discontent.
"Son of a..." Griff muttered as everyone took the first jump, he could see all of the first leg of the track, Moby had an uncanny lead.
Mac was catching up to Allegra, keeping at her side so she wouldn't blow snow in his face. Eddie wasn't far behind, grinding a log and taking the high route.
"Aaah!" Yuri yelled, tumbling over in the snow, Viggo darting past her.
"Sorry, babe! You were just in my way!" Viggo called back to her, coasting right into another jump.
Moby was all smiles, he took a chance to look behind him and he saw that he had the race won. He turned around and saw something that made his heart stop cold.
Psymon.
Moby coasting his board to the side, hard.
"What in the bloody hell are you doin' on the track!?" Moby yelled at Psymon.
Psymon didn't say a word, Mac just speed past Moby.
"Well, aren't ya gonna get out of the way? "Moby yelled again.
Psymon again, didn't say anything, Eddie blew past him.
"...Whateva!" Moby watched as now Viggo of all people blew past him.
Viggo looked back and Moby, "Why in the hell did he just stop in the middle of the race...and who in the hell is he talking to?" Viggo shrugged, and pushed on.
Moby was just about to coast off, when he heard an ungodly scream from behind him; he turned around just in enough time to see Griff damn near take his head off with a flying punch to the head. Moby landed flat on his back, looking up and Griff skid off, laughing hard.
Moby then realized no one was in the middle of the track, he had been imagining the whole thing. Had he lost his mind?
When the race was all said and done, Moby finished in last place, right behind Yuri. Moby took off his board and was furious. He made a hot streak right for Griff.
"What is your problem, boy!?" Moby pushed Griff hard, causing him to fall over.
Griff got a face full of snow, and stood back up.
"What in the hell are you talking about!?" Griff yelled.
"What in the hell is up with you clockin' me back thea!?" Moby yelled, throwing off his racing helmet.
"That love tap? Pfft. All is fair in snow and ice." Griff gave a smirk.
"I just did to you what all of you did to me last year, and it felt SO good."Griff smiled, he almost looked like Psymon.
Moby grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, damn near lifting him up.
"You eva touch me again and I will rip ya bloody eyes out!" Moby shook him; Griff kicked his feet and got Moby square in the nuts. Moby dropped him like a sack of hammers.
"OI!!...You...son...of...a..." Moby recovered, and ran straight for Griff, Eddie and Mac tackled him to keep him down.
"DUDE! NOT HERE MAN! NOT HERE!" Eddie yelled, straining to keep Moby down.
"If Rahzel finds out someone else is messin' up, we are all gonna be in it deep, dude!" Eddie continued to plea with him, Moby fighting against him.
Griff stood near Kaori and Yuri, taunting Moby.
"Come on! Let him up!" Griff made little boxing imitations.
Moby calmed down, and Eddie and Mac let him stand.
"A'ight little grommet. Ya want to play like that? Fine then. Why dontcha put ya money where ya mouth is?" Moby whispered, almost in a grave tone.
Griff looked at him oddly, "I don't have any money." Griff said.
"Aye, of course you don't. But I have this." Moby pulled out his Snow God pass.
"Ya think ya ready to play with the big boys, why dontcha try to take this from me?" Moby give a sinister grin.
Everyone sat silent; a challenge had just been put down. Griff didn't know what to say.
JP ran into the lobby, speaking rapid-fire French into his M-comm.
Elise and Nate looked at each other with dumbstruck faces, Atomika sitting on the other side of the room.
JP hung up his M-comm.
"Allo! Looks like we have anudder Snow Gods challenge" JP looked at the lot of them.
"Another one? Who is it this time?" Atomika sat up.
"Allegra tells me zat Griff has challenged Moby for his Snow God pass" JP plopped down on the couch. Elise made a whistle.
"Griff vs. Moby? Mr. Puberty has no idea what he just got himself into. Moby is gonna rip him to shreds." Elise took a cheap chance to rest her head on Nate's lap. Nate, oblivious to Elise's movements, had just sat up, sending Elise's head crashing into the couch.
Atomika let out a loud snort, and then covered it up with a sneeze.
"Not necessarily," Atomika started, "JP, did she tell you who challenged who? Like who came up with the idea?"
JP nodded, "It was Moby's idea."
Atomika snapped, "Damn. If Griff would have put up the challenge, then he would have gotten to choose what type of race it will be."
Elise shrugged, "Moby would smoke him either way."
Atomika looked up, "Nah, I got confidence in my man Griff."
Elise looked back at him, "Come on, really now. Little puny Griff? No way."
Atomika smirked, looking to see if Nate's attention was away from them.
"Okay then, how about we put a little bet on this?" Atomika sat down next to her.
Elise thought about it. "What's the bet?"
"If Griff wins, you snowboard in a bikini." Atomika set the bait...
Elise laughed, "Just a bikini? Sure. You're on. But if Moby wins, me and you head into town for a day." Elise took the bait, and fell right into his trap.
Atomika faked being shocked, "Me...you...a date?...Oh...geez...well...sure, I guess." Atomika held out his hand, Elise took it, and then shook on it.
JP looked on, "I am ze witness! I shall make sure that you two keep your word." JP nodded.
Atomika got up, and began to walk away. "Welp, gotta slopestyle to get to. Taking Drum's place. Oh...and Elise?"
Elise looked up.
"Make sure to wear a thong." Atomika grinned, walking away.
Zoe was in the weight room, lifting some dumbbells with her arms, hard rock music playing in the background.
"Yo!" Psymon yelled, she didn't hear him.
"YO!" Psymon yelled again, and then kicked the stereo over.
Zoe looked up, "What the hell is wrong with you?" she dropped the dumbbell, cracking her knuckles. She looked up to see Psymon.
"Oh, you." Zoe returned to lifting her weights. "What do you want?" Zoe grumbled.
"What? I guy can't check on his ridin' partner?" Psymon plopped down on a weight bench, and began bench pressing. "You feelin' okay?"
Zoe hesitated, and then dropped the dumbbell. "What in the hell do you think?" Zoe stood up, grabbing her crutch.
Psymon looked over, "Don't you walk away. You haven't been talking to anyone since you and Moby fell out, now you ARE gonna talk to me." Psymon didn't even sit up; he knew Zoe wasn't going to go anywhere.
"So, what's eating you? Drum?" Psymon grinned; he meant the line to be perverted as possible. Zoe looked at him with a bit of anger, then plopped back down.
"Actually, yeah." She said, causing Psymon to drop the bar right onto his chest.
"AH!" Psymon pushed the bar off "You mean you two actually!?"
"That's none of your damn business! I am just saying...well...I don't know if he really did it or not..." Zoe sighed, lifting her weight.
"So, you like him, dontcha?" Psymon rubbed his chest.
"I guess...but again, it's none of your business." Zoe gives a small flash of a smile.
"Ey, I know its none of my business, but I gotta look out for ya." Psymon cracked his neck.
"I dunno...if he did do it...I might not be able to trust any of you around here anymore." Zoe grunted, lifting the weight.
Psymon hesitated, "What would you do to the person that did do it?"
Zoe thought about it, and lifted the weight even higher.
"I would snap his fuckin' neck." Zoe said it with a somewhat demonic undertone.
Psymon looked a bit odd, and then followed up.
"What if you knew someone else knew about it, and they didn't tell you?"
Zoe threw the weight across the room, smashing the already kicked over stereo.
"I would do even worse to him." Zoë muttered.
Psymon grinned. Zoe looked at him, and cocked her head to the side.
"What do you know, Stark?"
"Me? Nothin'." Psymon liked perfectly.
"...You sure?" Zoe asked, sensing something was up.
"Positive. Seeya. Gotta race to do." Psymon jumped up, and headed out of the room.
Zoe sighed, looked around, and went back to lifting her weights.
Drum sat down on a hard couch, fiddling with his M-comm.
"Come on..." His M-comm wasn't getting any signal.
"Son of a...." Drum threw it against the wall, shattering it.
Rahzel opened the door, looked at the broken M-comm, then back at Drum.
"You know, you are going to have to pay for that." Rahzel sighed.
"You know I didn't do it, Rahzel." Drum cut right to chase.
"Hey, I don't know anything. But Pete said he saw you, so we have to take that into account." Rahzel sat next to him on the hard couch.
"Well, its time for you to go in front of the Council. You are going to be in for a lot of questioning. You up for it?" Rahzel looked at him.
"Innocent until proven guilty, right?" Drum stood up. "What do I have to lose?" Drum opened the door, and walked out.
Rahzel stood up, "Your SSX Contract, that's what."
