"So it's nearly here" Yoshida said
"What's that?" Nagisa asked
"The inter-school Bike race, it's a motorcycle contest where various school compete against one another" Yoshida explained
"And of course Class-E isn't allowed to compete in it" Nakamura said
"The opposite, Class-E is the only one who can compete in it, since we're a bunch of slackers they'll think we'll never be up to anything else. And they're usually right but when Misa won it Class-E was held in a bit higher regard. Unfortunately the student council has decided that if don' enter ourselves then we can't race. And that means we don't have access to a bike" Yoshida said
"And we tried to help, but they refused, saying that this year funding has been lowered for some reason" Kataoak said
"But they get funding to keep Korosensei a secret, so where is that funding going?" Isogai asked
"Anyway we can't enter this year" Kataoka said
"Which sucks" Yoshida said
"So anyway for us to compete?" Nagisa asked
"You know where to get a bike from, because that is the only thing we need" Yoshida said
"I might know where to get one" Nagisa smirked
"No way" Arcee said
"What come on, this is the one thing that our school acknowledges us for and you're going to help out" Nagisa exclaimed
"Nagisa, if I enter that race, not only would it be an abuse of my duties but cheating by the laws of the race. I'm sorry but you'll have to find some other way" Arcee said
"I understand" Nagisa said
"Arcee, while in the past I have not permitted you to race, I am willing to make an exception here" Optimus said
"Optimus?" Arcee said
"I believe it is an important event and thus Class E should participate in it" Optimus said
"Really Optimus?" Arcee asked
"Yes, besides. Even you need to cut loose every now and again" Optimus said
"I thought you told us no more racing back in Jasper" Arcee said
"I did, but this is a part of their schooling, thus it could be important" Optimus stated
"Okay then" Arcee said "But I'm not helping at all" Arcee said
"That's fine" Nagisa said
Down on the race track that was going to be used for the school race, Misa was practicing on her magenta and white Sportsbike, meanwhile near the track watching her with a stopwatch in hand was a girl with long caramel blonde hair and half rimmed glasses.
"How am I doing Nat?" Misa asked
"Not too bad" Nat said looking at the watch "But just promise me tomorrow's outfit won't be that bad"
"You know I'm not the one who organises those Nat" Misa said as she pulled into the pits
"I know, but they are seriously embarrassing; why do they have to make us wear them?" Nat said
"I have no idea, anyway we better get ready, its tomorrow right?" Misa asked
"Yeah" Nat said "So I better get the new suit ready, is at least conformable?" Nat asked
"I have no idea, you'll be the judge of that when you find out" Misa smirked before becoming serious
"Hey, you know they'll be here and if we're lucky he'll be the one racing" Nat said resting a hand on her friend's shoulder
"I know, but...part of me dreads they don't" Misa said
"What will the school do ban them? We both know as former Kunugigaoka Junior High School Class 3-E alumni, that this is the only event they're exclusively allowed to do" Nat said
"I agree" Misa smiled as she revved up her bike before
"Okay, so we'll act as the pit crew, Nagisa will be the rider and Arcee will help us out" Yoshida said
"You still need a Race Queen" Ritsu said
"What?" the two guys said
"Seriously, you didn't know about that part?" Ritsu asked "it's there in the team roster: Driver, mechanic, mechanic support and finally the Race Queen to provide support and to look pretty"
"And who would be our team's Race Queen?" Yoshida asked
"Who else" Nagisa said as the pair looked at Yada who was talking with Kurahashi and Kataoka about something "Ritsu?"
She's going to kill you and then delete me" Ritsu said before she looked through different patterns for an outfit
"Wish me luck" Yoshida said
"Luck" Nagisa said before Yoshida walked off only to hear a slapping noise before a huff. "Crap"
"You guys want me to do what?" Yada asked
"Can you help us out tomorrow by being our school's Race Queen...Please?" Nagisa asked
"Only because you said please" Yada growled
"Thanks, Ritsu's got some designs for you" Nagisa said
"Okay, just as long as they are not the same colours as that stupid acorn mascot" Yada said
"You got it" Ritsu said
The next day everyone that was there was the race had lined up and was waiting to start. Most of the teams had a pretty decent mix of mechanics, back up drivers, main drivers and of course the Race Queens were out the front holding an umbrella
"I can't believe this is the outfit I'm wearing this year" Nat said as she was wearing a metallic magneta and red coloured bra like top with a magenta skirt with red trim and a pair of knee high white high heeled boots. She also carried an umbrella to keep herself out of the sun
"You look great in it" Misa said
"Still no sign of them?"
"No" Misa said before a red big rig pulled up and backed up to the section for Kunugigaoka's team. "I stand corrected"
"So who is on the team?" Nat asked
"Not sure" Misa said
"Easy, easy" Yoshida said as their equipment was pulled out of Optimus' trailer whil Nagisa rode Arcee up
"Getting her warmed up I see" Hara said as she joined the boys to help out Nagisa
"Yeah" Nagisa said as he gave Arcee the final look over
"Any cons?" Hara asked
"I don't see any" Arcee said
"Right, don't forget to sync up with my helmet" Nags said
"Already on it" Arcee said
"You guys, is this seriously okay?" Yada asked walking out of the main cab. The guys looked up to see Yada wearing her race queen outfit, which was a white and silver midriff tube top, a white jacket and a cheerleaders skirt which white with silver and black accents, she finished her look with knee high boots that had a bit of a wedge to them and a v cut out the front as well as a silver choker. She was blushing due to the outfit
"You look good, I'll welling to bet Kimura wants to see you in it a lot" Nagisa said
"Thanks" Yada said playing with her now wavy hair, she had some light make up on which didn't do anything to hide her blushing cheeks while she put up an umbrella to cover up a bit
"We got 5 minutes to line up" Yoshida said
"Okay, come on Arcee" Nagisa said before he rolled her to their place on the starting grid with Yada following behind them holding her umbrella over there head. Next to him Misa rolled up with Nat holding her umbrella over Misa.
"Thanks" Misa said
"Talk to him" Nat said
"I will" Misa said
"Interesting" Knock Out said
"What?" Brawl asked
"There's a race going down and look who's decided to join" Knock Out said
"You mean their warrior" Brawl said seeing Arcee
"Yeah, Arcee and her human pet" Knock Out said
"I see, our victory the other day with getting the antigrav device means our ship will soon be mobile, but the Autobots will cause more problems, but if we lessen their numbers we will have a greater tactical advantage" Brawl said
"So shall we?" Knock Out said
"Go" Brawl ordered the doctor
"Very well" Knock Out said leaving via ground bridge
"Arcee, you will not continue to function for long" Brawl said
"You sure about this?" Yada asked
"Hopefully" Nagisa said as he tapped his helmet's visor bringing up its HUD including a speedometer and compass.
"You ready for this?" Arcee asked
"You got it" Nagisa said revving up as Yada stood next to him as did the rest of the race queens next to their racers. Suddenly a countdown started before the girls moved off the grid when the race started, Misa quickly got first place
"GO MISA!" Nat shouted making Yada look at her. "Sorry" she blushed. Nagisa weaved through the other races until he got into second place behind Misa, making the first place race glance over her shoulder making her smirk. Nagisa was racing as hard he could when a warning flashed up on his helmet.
"Terrain change?" Nagisa asked "We're going off road" he said as the tarmac suddenly became dirt. He had to hang on
"You okay back there?" Arcee asked as she banked around the corner, kicking up dirt and stones.
"I'm fine just keep on riding" Nagisa said
"Ah what a splendid day for a race" Knock Out said arriving and transforming into his robot mode and waited in the woods as the racers when pass him. He frowned when he saw Arcee heading for him. Deploying his buzzsaw he started it up and was about to cut into a tree when he was thrown further into the woods. "WHO DARES?" Knock Out said
"Knock Out, you should not be here' Optimus said
"Optimus Prime, what are you doing here" Knock Out asked before he was blasted back "Not again" Knock Out asked transforming and driving off
"Ratchet, Knock Out is here, they might be trying to stop the race" Optimus said
"Or to take out Arcee and Nagisa, don't worry we have someone watching out for them" Ratchet said via radio
"Good, I'll be here as well" Optimus said
"Here we go guys" Yoshida said as Nagisa pulled in and got off. Yada quickly handed him a drink before he looked out at the next section which was a round track
"Ten laps of this and then we switch to a sprint" Nagisa said
"You got that" Yoshida said as he refuelled Arcee
"Premium, geez Yoshida, you make a girl feel special" Arcee said
"You're still behind Misa though, she's good" Yoshida said
"Too good if you ask me" Terasaka said
"Well we didn't" Hara said
"You're done, GO!" Yoshida said making Nagisa take off before Misa was done meaning he was first onto the second part
"He's good" Misa said watching this before taking off. Soon the rest of the racers started to trickle out of the pits. Itona turned to a computer he used to keep track of the race, only to see it flicker
"That's not good" Itona said
"What?" Yoshida said
"THAT!" Hara said as Nagisa and Misa were suddenly diverted off of the track by the divider sending them into the motorcross section while the rest of the bikes seemingly stopped
"CONS!" they shouted
"This isn't right" Misa said as she continued down the track when a red supercar came racing up behind them
"Out of the way meatbag" Knock Out said as he drove past Misa and transformed, Nagisa saw this and got off of Arcee allowing
"What am I seeing right now?" Misa asked shocked stopping her bike.
"Crap, Nagisa get her out of here" Arcee said
"You got it" Nagisa said
"What's going on?" Misa asked as Nagisa got on her biked
"I'll tell you later, just drive" Nagisa said as Arcee kicked Knock Out back before flipping onto her feet and activated here blasters and started firing until she got in close enough to kick him in the face, which Knock Out responded by grabbing Arcee's leg and throwing her to the ground
"You my dear, could use some bodywork" Knock Out chuckled, only to hear Arcee's armblade deploy "And what is that going to do?" he smirked only to see Arcee drag it across his chest "My paint! you Fragging Glitch!" he snarled as he activated his saw and started to move it closer to her. The reason he stopped was the fact Optimus had shown up and threw Knock Out across the woods and into an open Bridge portal
"Good riddance" Arcee said before she transformed and drove off. Soon she found the two racers just leaning on Misa's bike. "Come on the race is going to start back up" she said
"I have so many questions" Misa said
"You'll get your answers soon" Nagisa said
Once the race was back on after the weird incident it showed that Nagisa and Misa was once again in the lead. The crews of the two were on their feet as they neared the checkered flag.
"Come on, come on" Nat said
"You can win this Nagisa" Yada said before the two crossed the finishing line. Nat turned to Yada and held out her hand
"Good race, it may have been weird, but it was still good"
"This year's winner is returning champion Misa Shiota, and coming in second place is Kunugigaoka's Nagisa Shiota" the announcer said
"Wait, Misa Shiota?" Yada asked
"I don't know" Yoshida said. Once the two racers came to a stop Nagisa got off of Arcee before removing his helmet while Misa did the same thing before turning to Nagisa.
"Nice to meet you Nagisa, my name is Misa Shiota and I'm your older sister" Misa said
G'day Guys Grizz here, so this chapter was an interesting one since I was using the race as a backdrop to see Nagisa and Arcee race, but alot of the racing had to be cut for the stuff with Knock Out, but the major thing I wanted to do was introduce who Misa truly was in this chapter and that is as Nagisa's older sister. Now her back story will be filled out next chapter. Plus the character Nat is visually inspired by the character Miyu Shinohara from SAO Alt Gun Gale Online who will be an important character to help with Misa and Nagisa's ongoing relationship
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside.
