Here's Chapter 2.
By the way, I lied. This isn't a twoshot, it's a lot more. My mind thinks a lot with out my permission. So sit back relax and enjoy.
That night, Molly's nightmare took full swing. Rick and Jordan were racing when they suddenly crashed. That brought memories and nightmares of when her mother was killed in a wreck in a star racer. Dream Eva was on Daddy's shoulder's watching her mom race. She was in the lead by a little when her opponent, and black bird of some kind, went past it, causing it to explode just before the finish line. Eva's mother never came out.
Molly opened her eyes to find it was well past dawn. She got dressed and when down the hall when she heard Jordan snoring. She pounded on his door and shouted, "Come on Jordan wake up! You have a race today."
She ran down the stairs as Jordan sleepily opened the door. Rick, Don, Stan, and Koji were already downstairs, doing last minute repairs and additions to the Arrow. Watching them, she remembered her nightmare. She went outside with out a word, and found Prince Aikka down the road. She ran up to him.
"Prince Aikka! Hey, how are you?" She asked blushing.
"Very well, and you?"
"I'm fine." She's blushing harder now. And he notices. (Kinda hard to miss don't cha think?)
"Why are you blushing so much Molly?" He asked smiling.
"Oh, well, uh….-"
"Molly!" Jordan, again. Oh, no, she thought, he followed me. And he hates Aikka. This can't go well.
"What is it Jordan?" she asked impatiently.
"Why are with him again? He's with the Crogs, do you get that?" Aikka glared at him, bowed stiffly to Molly, and walked away, back ridged.
"Jordan, why do you have to be so rude to him? He's a nice guy and you have to insult him?" She pushed past him to the hanger. Creep.
"Hey, Stan, how's the Arrow doing?" Molly asked as she saw them working.
"She only needs a few minor repairs and she's good to fly."
"We have all the help we need in here, Molly. Why don't you go get a good seat for the race?" Koji said holding his clipboard. Molly nodded and went up to her room and out her window to watch Rick and Jordan race.
They were racing, Rick in the lead, with Jordan shooting at Groor, their opponent. Suddenly, the Arrow malfunctioned and crashed through the winners' gate. Molly watched horrified as Jordan got out Ok but Rick was taken out on a stretcher. She saw Don Wei talking to him on the stretcher, and was suddenly scared. Rick can't race and she knew it.
The next morning Don Wei called a meeting and told them the bad news "Rick is out of action for at least a week. We have been granted a rematch today and we need a replacement pilot. Any volunteers?" The room got very quiet.
Molly got brave, "Maybe I could-" Don Wei cut her off.
"Jordan, until further notice you have been promoted to temporary pilot for the earth team." Jordan looked less than ecstatic about the prospect.
He got in the Arrow 2 and pushed the wrong button, left the hanger pushing buttons and the pedals. He zoomed around the lake, almost ran over Molly, and then went straight up into a stall, crashing butt first the two reactors landing on either side of Molly. He was upside down in the pilot's seat.
"Sorry guys. I'm a gunner, I break things, it's what I do."
"Don't worry about it. It was a good first try." Koji said trying to cheer him up.
"But now we need someone else." He looked at the mechanics and held out his hands. "Stan, Koji…"
"Oh, no. We're simple mechanics, we weren't meant to fly." Stan said backing up. Koji hid behind his clipboard.
"I guess that only leaves me!" Molly exclaimed. "Let me fly it, I'm a great pilot honest. Though I've never been behind the stick of a real star racer before but a machine is a machine is a machine. Right guys?"
The other looked doubtful. "Molly I appreciate your loyalty. But I cannot let an outside, let alone a girl pilot the Arrow 2 if there's a chance you could die." Don Wei was firm on this.
"At least try me out. You won't be disappointed."
"No, the only chance we have is to go to the council and ask for a reprieve."
He and the others left Molly to 'watch the ship'. Yeah, right. She went outside to lie down. Setis, the avatar's helper, came up to her.
"What's your problem little Molly."
"I came here to find my father only to find he's changed."
"Whose problems are we talking about, yours or your father's?"
"Go away!" She yelled turning around with full intent on hitting the diminutive alien only to find him gone. She went into the hanger to see if he's there. She stopped when she spotted the star-racer, practically calling her. She got in and sat in the seat to find it too big for her, she couldn't reach the pedals.
"This could be a problem."
She climbed out and spotted her rocket seat in the corner. An evil grin came to her face and she jumped down.
Don Wei and the others came back to the hanger. He was in a helmet and flying scarf muttering about the council being a bunch of spineless worms. The others were trying to dissuade him from piloting the Arrow himself. And him retorting about duty and the future of the planet when the Arrow 2 started up. They saw Molly in the pilot's seat waving at them.
"Molly! Get down from there this instant! Jordan, stop her!" Don Wei was shouting.
Jordan ran up the stairs and jumped over the railing landing on the dome that covered the pilot.
"Molly get out of there now!"
"No Jordan, we can still win this. Now are you with me or are you with me?"
Jordan nodded and went to the gunner's seat. Molly got the Arrow up and flying past Don, who was shouting at her, and told him they'd be home early, and rather shakily went to the entrance hanger almost crashing in front of the judges. She popped open the top and saluted the judges, saying, "Pilot Molly, reporting for the Earth team."
"There's no Molly listed here."
"But she looks quiet human."
"That settles it. Racers, take you places."
Molly got it up, but she also rammed it into Groor's craft.
"Why is that ship so unstable?" Don Wei asked.
"It appears that a rocket seat was installed sir." Stan said.
"Molly listen to me, you are not the earth team's pilot!"
She wasn't listening. The race just started and she was out of control the thing was rolling all over the place.
"Molly, if you can hear me, boost the side thrusters, which should increase stability." Koji said to her.
"Koji, you're a genius!" She cried to him as his advice worked.
"I'm just a humble mechanic."
:I really don't wanna have to detail the whole race but I will do the end. I'm sure everyone has seen the race.:
She's out of power on the beach, Groor's coming up fast shooting at them, Don is telling them to abandon the Arrow 2, and she turns the ship to give Jordan a shot at the ship.
"Jordan, aim for the joints!"
"Roger!"
Jordan shot at the joint as it was getting closer and closer. The last joint broke, and so did the ship.
"Yes! Well done partner!" Jordan said.
Molly the turned the Arrow 2 and rolled the ship over the gate to win. When they got back to the hanger, Don Wei said.
"You 2 should be proud of yourselves" He said and they grinned at each other. "Because that was the worst race I've ever seen! We came here as ambassadors and now we're the laughing stock of the whole race! Everyone get packed. We're leaving in the morning."
"But we won the race! We won!"
She kicked a tool box against the wall, spilling everything.
"I'm so outta here." She said running out of the pit.
"Molly! Girls, why do they have to be so sensitive?" Jordan asked. He looked up to see Don watching and he turned away.
To be continued. My next Chapter will have my OC and will not be based on an episode. This is mine.
