The Super Ridonculous Race!
Episode 2: Illnois' Got All-Stars!
Part 4: The Chicago Express!

Yeah, not gonna lie, I've got no good way to segway into this other than I will always respect your religion and your sexuality, because basic human decency seems to be lacking these days!

Also, I do not own any of the characters that are used in this fanfiction sans the minor characters that I have described in the challenges AKA all of the characters are owned by SEGA, Nintendo, SNK, Capcom, Disney, Fresh TV, Toei, Teletoon and many other companies that make up the rest of the IPs!

AKA Respect others and yourself not by being pedantic or being pointlessly mean to people who just wanted to ask a question!

Either way, there's still 93 teams out on the field racing and some of them are going to finish it off.


Teams from the first, second and third flights were definitely battling the second leg as they were completely sure that this leg wasn't the hardest leg once again, as there was definitely harder legs, but this was definitely Chicago.

Either way, the leading teams were actually swapping around thanks to some of the most unexpected moves that people could do...as traffic wasn't always crazy.

Also, pizzas.

''So, you're just telling me that there's apparently a third challenge?'' Ralf asked, somehow finishing the challenge.

''Yeah...why else would we go to a pizzeria?'' Ryo asked, going along.

''It could very likely be the Chill Zone...Aside from two or three legs, there's usually only two challenges.'' Clark deducted. ''Either that or we're going to have increase our pace.''

''Possibly...but Ryo's just straight overpowered in the eating department!'' Ralf said.

''You've still got me around!'' Yuri yellled. ''I can eat good too.''

''Well, my mouth's ready for the challenge and so is the colonel's.'' Clark stated, just happy to do some eating.

''Then consider it a challenge! Also...we could be behind.'' Ryo said, just ready for the traffic.

Meanwhile, there was a combination of two duos that were stuck in traffic and they were just the happiest people that you could ever know and they also loved winning.

''Can you guys move!'' Josee yelled.

''Yeah and we don't have our time your parking bull!'' Heather shouted just as loud.

''Yikes, man! I'm just trying to drive.''' the taxi driver shouted at the two girls.

Jacques and Alejandro were just as angry, but they were a bit more silent about their traffic grievances and it was obvious that they didn't want to blame the driver.

''I'm starting to wonder if I want teleportation powers!'' Josee yelled.

''You don't need those powers...you crazy dancer.'' Heather said.

''I don't know! Maybe, you should calm down.''

''...You're right. How are we going to get gold, though?''

''Can't we just find some side roads drive on them?'' Alejandro asked sarcastically.

''Come on, let's do that!'' Jacques shouted at the driver. ''Can you please move us to the side roads...we have a race to win!''

The driver did what the ice dancing man requested and the two teams were definitely speeding off fast towards the location and their smiles were actually growing as they were getting closer and closer to the pizzeria.

Pretty soon, all four teams were actually at the pizzeria at the same exact time and they were all sure that they were the first two teams that have arrived at the location.

''Alejandro, you could've saved us!'' Heather exclaimed.

''See, getting first should be easy.'' Alejandro said.

''Huh, there's already another team here?'' Ryo asked, hearing those words.

''Yeah, it's seems like they're already here.'' Yuri replied, sure that the team started the challenge.

All four teams were actually really looking for the other teams, but they all jumped out at the same exact time, meaning that they could all see each other for the first time.

''Hey, wait a second!'' Heather said to the karate master.

''You two have just arrived?'' Ryo said, ready for some good competition. ''Oh, my team's going to bring it all!''

''Consider it brung...but we're still going to get the gold.'' Josee said with a smile.

''My chica, this challenge shouldn't be hard.'' Alejandro told his girlfriend, who were just looking a bit happier. ''Now, for the Don Box.''

A fifth team managed to get out of there and they were surprised to arrive so quickly, as the police officers jumped out of the car with some attitude and they managed to get the first tip.

''Yeah...I think that's how it's done.'' Judy said.

''Alright, this should be good. Botch-or-Watch and pizzas...this is actually kinda hard.'' Nick said, still being relatively casual.

The rest of the arriving teams managed to get a tip and most of them were actually scared of what would happen, not least Ryo, who wasn't sure of his sister's eating abilities.

But Clark did some explaining

''Okay, it is a botch-or-watch. Pizza Break? So, one of the team members have to basically eat small, but strongly flavoured pizza and then once the staff to give the tip they have...''

'

Don continued the mercenary's explaination.

''...run to the Chill Zone, which will be on Oak Street Beach, where I'm currently enjoying the early sunset and the last two teams to arrive will be cut from the race!'' He said, as he was just sitting in an beach chair.

Meanwhile, once again, back on the second challenge.

''As some teams get eating...''

Yuri was just looking at her pizza and just taking one bite of the pineapple covered pizza and she was just okay with it.

''...others get picturing, wherever they get slashed or not.''

Mario, Luigi and hilariously enough, Cappy, was just trying to get one more picture of some ducks that were just sleeping and Luigi was just sure that this was an lost

Chet and Lorenzo were just trying to stay back as far as they could to not interrupt some grizzly bear's daily routine.

''Getting closer would be stupid.'' Lorenzo whispered to his stepbrother.

''But it would get us outta here earlier.'' Chet told him quietly.

''But it could get us killed or something.'' Lorenzo said, as the protection that he had wasn't that strong. ''Beside, we've already got two...we just need one more.''

''Got it.'' Chet said, not putting the flash and taking a bear picture.

The Stepbrothers were actually just trying their way towards the door, as they were just treading carefully to get outta here, as they were expecting to get outta of the door pretty soon.

Then the bear heard an unrelated branch and the duo were just frantically closing the door ASAP and it was very loud and Chet locked it instantly.

Ron and Kim were just ready to go to something a little bit more simple and Kim was just a little unsure of how they managed to do it, but...

''We've got smaller fry to deal with.'' Kim said, pretty sure that they were dangerous.

''How are otters dangerous?'' Ron asked, a little bit confindent that these guys were only cute.

''Don't be so sure about otters.''

''KP, you're worrying WAY too much...'cause we can handle those otters.''

''Yeah!'' Rufus exclaimed from Ron's pocket.

''I don't know...I mean sure they are otters, but they can be tough.''

Other teams were a lot more sure that they were prepared for whatever was actually ahead for them, since they were just looking a little bit happier than before.

''At least that's over.'' Rad said. ''It was all thanks to me.''

The alien immediately fell down, as Enid just came to his side.

''Whoa, are you REALLY okay?'' The ninja girl asked

''Yeah, of course...just got a little leg trouble.'' The green alien answered.

''Uh, how bad is it?'' Enid asked and immediately regretted it.

''Yeah...uh...I can barely stand! At least my everything else is in-''

Enid just kinda threw Rad on her shoulder and she was just walking kinda slowly.

She did manage to get the camera back and it looked pretty much the same and the photos were definitely intact.

''There you go, guard girl! I would give you my number, but I-'' Rad explained, just handing the camera to the lady.

''Just get the tip!'' The zoo girl shouted at Rad, who was a little perplexed.

The next two teams were a little bit...burnt out to say the least thanks to some stupid moves by one of the team's members.

''Wow, I did a great one.'' Jyushimatsu said, as he didn't noticed his burnt out brother.

''Hey, lady girl! Can you please give us the tips to the next Don Box...please.'' Karamatsu request nicely, just trying to charm the animal handler into giving her the tip.

''Woo, we're moving on!'' Jyushimatsu shouted, actually noticing the animal handler's almost blank expression. ''Whoa, are you alive?!''

"Don't worry, it's just me and my brother."

The other group of teams was just a little stunned at the events that were currently transpiring, as they were sure that's now how someone did CPR and both them and the arriving team were stunned at Jyushimatsu's over the top acts to get to the taxi.

*The Nature Lovers' confessional*

''Whoa, he went full on in whatever he was doing...I kinda forgot what he did, though.'' Jeff said, stoned as always.

''I dunno who that man is, but I like how he always keeps the...the enthusiasm.'' Hayley said, less stoned and relaxed.

''Hey, baby...you wanna say something?''

*The Karate Masters' confessional*

''Hey, Ryu, sometimes I wonder...how do guys like that be brothers?'' Ken asked, just wanting to ask a question.

''Sometimes, unexpected circumstances come up, such Jyushimatsu and Karamatsu. Apparently, those two were...a little different before they came on here.'' Ryu answered.

''That's not much of a surprise.'' Ken said. ''What's a real surprise is how much power that guy's got.''

''...Are you sure you're weren't looking at someone else?''

''Uh, never mind.''

*The Idiot Brothers' confessional*

''Karamatsu, is she okay?'' Jyushimatsu asked, just a little worried.

''Nah, my Jyushimatsu. Sometimes, it's okay to win as hard as you can.'' Karamatsu exclaimed.

The 20-year old was just checked out for a second and he came back excited with..

''...I guess she's fine. We gotta win without hurting anyone!''

''Sounds easy.'' Karamatsu said with a lot of confidence.

*Confessional by no-one*


Once again, it was down to whoever ate the pizza in the shortest amount of time and one of them were just straight up storming through the pizza like it was no man's land.

As more teams were jumping into the pizza takedown, the best one was a young woman, as she was just loving the heat and the fight.

''Woohoo! Take it up with the chef!'' Yuri yelled, just yelling out the heat.

''How does that even work?'' Cammy asked, completely unsure of how the karate girl was just chowing it down. ''Well, I guess there's no answer.''

Yuri and Alejandro were actually in a very close competition of who could eat the hottest pizza the fastest, as they were just swallowing the cayenne peppers that were on there.

Jacques wasn't really winning, as Knuckles was eating it faster, as he was just practically suffering from some questionable ingredients.

''I swear, who put chocolate into the pizza? It's super hard and super...sweet!'' he yelled, ridiculously confused about the flavour and the hardness. ''Jacques, you don't look so good.''

''It's...nothing...terrible.'' Jacques said, in between small bites of a lemon pizza.

Cammy and Sanders were both doing okay with the pizzas, the latter being completely sure that they were ready to take it, while Enid and Sam were in some kind of personal competition.

''Cut the chiz out.'' Sam said, stuffing the pizza with an unknown ingredient.

''And?'' Enid said, just going for the sour option.

The battles were actually pretty quick and they were pretty solid, as all eight of the eaters were definitely hard at working, chowing down some questionable pizzas.

There was always going to be a winner, even if the person didn't want to admit it, as it between Yuri, Alejandro and oddly enough, Knuckles and they were just stomaching the craziness that was put on their dough.

Knuckles' face was going green, as he managed to eat the last slice.

Yuri and Alejandro actually enjoyed the taste of the two pizzas, as they ate their last slice and Yuri the karate girl celebrated with the Kyokugen pose...just crossing her arms and then uncrossing them with strength.

The waiter needed some time to give the teams their tips and in that period, Sam was just rushing to get the slices down her throat, as she ate a whole one in one go.

''Yep...that's done.'' Sam said, feeling woozy. ''I could sleep right now!''

''Well, it is dusk.'' Clark commented. ''But, that shouldn't stop you.''

''Hey, I have a chance of getting first place...yeah.''

''Well, at least you're still standing.''

The delinquent babysitter was just keep herself up, as she was just walking slowly towards Cat, who just attempted to carry her friend to the Chill Zone, who were actually walking down the path.

Soon, the top four were slowly going down the path towards Oak Street Beach and one of the top four was just struggling to run due to her friend's heavy weight.

''Urgh, is eating this illegal?'' Sam asked. ''I swear this is what they make prisoners eat when they want to stop them from hurt parole officers.''

''...How bad did it get?'' Cat said, just wanting to know what's up.

''I dunno, but I'm confused.''

''...I think I'm going to give it to my brother. He was one of those guys.''


''As we all figure who Cat's brother is, some great teams are here to make themselves not losers and they're also from the second and third flights!'' Don exclaimed.

Once again, some teams on the second and third flights were definitely on top of their own game, as they were in the mood to make their moves awesome and they were pretty sure that their hands were helping them.

''Yeah, that's the power of Shen Woo.'' the fighter boasted, just punching the air and not realizing his hotness. ''Man...what's with all of your faces?''

Eliza and Ty were completely amazed at this guy's body, while Kai was just amazed by his bad dancing and Shen just got thrown a tip by Eliza.

''What the hell just happened?'' Shen asked. ''Eh, sure...''

''Meh...should be alright.'' Sig said, just being chilled out.

''Come on, he litterally just...took his shirt off!'' Brian shouted, being the opposite of chilled out.

''So?''

''He just made a girl and a guy swoon because of his looks...and he didn't even know.''

''Yeah! I wish that worked with me!'' Maguro exclaimed sadly.

Other teams were just straight up making up the effort to dance their heart out, even if they didn't have an real one, as Bender was just doing some robotic moves and passed, Dawn just floated to do some impressing by accident and whatever Edd's waltz was doing, it was doing it right.

''Double D, we've got the tip!'' Eddy shouted.

''What, really?'' Edd said, in total surprise.

''Yeah, really! I'm gonna teach you to do some real dance moves later, ya klutz!''

''I just hope it wasn't as bad as that waltz.''

''Come on, Ed boy!'' Rolf commanded, as Ed was just on the floor. ''Dance like the people back at my home country!''

Ed did what he could, as he was just making his legs dance around each other and they were just going in very awkward positions, but he still kept on balancing good.

''Mama would be proud of what I have done with this boy.'' Rolf remarked.

He knew that he actually did right, when the not-so-smart guy managed to get a tip with his Russian dance.

''Yeah, I did it!'' Ed shouted.

The duo were also out and so were the next two teams, as Austin was just doing some pretty good footwork, but then he does his own dance, but what wasn't really expected was Kensou's continuous backlips combined with some simple poses and he actually managed to not mess up.

''Yeah!'' Kensou yelled, before he went on his own merry way. ''Athena, the race isn't over yet.''

''Right, Kensou-san!'' Athena said, just happy that her friend passed. ''To the taxi!"

"We're not going in the same taxi!" Kensou's dazed state was just causing him to realise things a lot later than he really should.

"Kensou, are you okay?" Athena was just helping her friend out.

Kensou looked a little dazed, but he quickly snapped out of it and the two were soon on their way to the second challenge.


More challengers were just done with the second and they were moving onto the third, as it was pretty easy, since Mario and Luigi were experts at eating pizza and Cappy was just struggling to deal with it.

Cammy was just definitely remembering those times to just make her ignore the fact that lemons aren't supposed to be on pizzas, making her eating speed being high.

Ken's training paid him off in a way that he never expected, as he was just going through the wasabi-covered slice easily.

''I don't know if this is related or not, but you're eating that heat.'' Ryu said, just happy to his friend enjoy it.

''Come on, they need to turn up the heat!'' Ken exclaimed loud and clear.

There was a lot of teams that were just started their uncomfortable journey or that they just arrived at this location or both in the case for one team.

''Rick, I think this challenge is gonna be hard.'' Morty said, feeling a little uncomfortable about eating it.

''Yeah, once the fear subsides, you just gotta chow it down like...like some cannibal.''

''What the heck, Rick?'' Morty was just making his appetite shielded.

''Yeah, what the heck, you friggin' nihilist!'' Eggman shouted loudly.

''Oh, I should take notes from an obsessive scientist with an hatred of an blue hedgehog that goes really fast!'' Rick shouted back.

''Come on, does a scitentist that broke time and has possibly been to hell, heaven and way too many place in between and doesn't care anymore...have worth anything to share!''

''Oh and...''

Morty and Boxman were just looking on like they were just witnessing the stupidest fight ever.

''You know, I'm probably going to lose to you.'' Morty said, just shrugging.

''You know, this is just getting a little too pathetic.'' Boxman replied in dissapointment.. "We were going to beat you! I don't take kindly to pity."

Morty was just shrugging at the end of it.

Then Tori just looked on like she almost died, as she was just fighting the pizza that was just sour as heck.

Meanwhile, Wolverine was just choosing the pizza like he didn't care what was up against and Gambit was just looking for a good time to do some talking.

*The Mutant's confessional, taking place at a pizzeria*

Gambit was just messing around with a card.

''I swear this waiter guy is too slow. What's his problem?'' Wolverine asked, but he managed to get his answer. ''Oh, yeah. Friggin' scientists and things that nobody cares about.''

''Actually...it's more of arguement that nobody cares about.'' Gambit said.

*To be confessed*

As teams like Trina and Tori were working their way through a lemon pizza that shouldn't exist, more villains and more heroes were definitely prepared for the challenge and two of them couldn't care less.

''Well, at least Mario's out. That HAS to be good, right?'' Tails asked, a little nervous.

''I dunno, but that's a lot of toppings.'' Zooey said.

''No spice, no problem!''

''Yeah, I guess your appetite isn't that bad.''

The girl fox was just looking worriedly on her menu, as what was right next to her was someone pretty digusting.

''Fox bitch, get outta my seat!'' Stromboli yelled for no apparent reason.

''But you're...never mind.'' Zooey proclaimed. ''You're not really the most...chill guy.''

''At least, you're definitely right! I ain't that insane, but I ain't saine, you bitch.''

''Thanks?'' Zooey asked, stunned by the idiotic answer.

There was many teams that were just doing this challenge for good reasons, as Frylock couldn't handle the heat for obvious reasons, Vega's appetite were genuinely ready to bring it to a close and Frank wasn't too excitied.

"Urgh, what the hell is this?" Frank was just feeling pretty sick.

"It's…a random pizza." Chuck just shrugged it off, as Frank was just genuinely mad. "It's not gonna kill you and you can probably beat it."

"Thanks for the support." Frank was just ready to take a big bite, as he was seeing Vega just regret his life decisions. "At least, I'm not you."

"Tell me about it, it's a small pizza and it's not even the spicy one!" Balrog was just ready to chew out his friend.

"You never know the pain of building up a physique and tearing it down." Vega was just threw it down.

"I know, but you're still doing nothin'. Do somethin', pretty boy." Balrog was just pushing Vega closer to the table.

Vega was just genuinely stunned, as Balrog was just getting angrier.

*The Harsh Fighters' confessional*

Vega was just throwing it up, just to keep his physique, as Balrog was just seriously considering his choices.

"Do I regret this race? Only this ugly challenge." Vega stated, as he was just being smug. "And teaming up with this brute of a teammate."

"There's skinny boys and men just eatin' it! You wanna care it." Balrog was just really ready to bring it on.

*Confessional cut*


However, the last flight that had teams on it was now on the ground and from there, Don was ready to inspire them and they were just moving ridiculously fast to get out of there.

''The last flight has now just landed on the ground and these guys may be losers...according to me, but only two of them will be cut from the race!'' he announced, as there quite a lot of teams that were just raring to get taxis.

''Come on, I've got no time and I'm a squirrel!'' Surly shouted with some serious attitude.

''Taxi! What the heck is with the pent-up anger?'' Andie asked.

''I don't trust these guys! Except for those two!'' Surly exclaimed, somehow pointing to Alya and Nino.

''Geez, can you chill out?'' Nino suggested, being a little bit freaked out.

The two somehow got into the same taxi and the next team were ready to speed up considerably.

''Jasmine, we may have sucked badly, but we can make that comeback!'' Shawn said to her in the taxi, as though she didn't know that.

''Thanks, Shawn.'' Jasmine said, not too pleased. "Er, seriously, it looks like everybody's passing the challenge."

"Come on, I bet those challenges weren't made to be hard. How else are you going to deal with 90 teams taking the battle?"

Other duos were taking a different approach to trying to motivate their teammate into doing something.

''Come on, Nerd, please tell me that you're not gonna be like that time that a game tortured you!'' Nostalgia Critic yelled in the taxi.

''Shut your damn face, Critic.'' Angry Video Game Nerd said weirdly calm.

''But, we're sucking balls in a way that's making us lose!"

''Listen...stop...trying...to...convince...me…to…do...stupid shit.''

The Nostalgia Critic was just shut up by it, as he couldn't really do anything.

''Thank you...I've already done too much of that damn crap.''

The two went back just being angry buddies in this very nice taxi that was going surprisingly fast, but there was still some more issues going with the a few teams.

And there was still a good chunk of the teams that were left behind thanks to some kind of taxi travelling problem.

''Oh, what, they ran out of taxis?'' Terry asked, a little angry. ''But, damn, they're fast!''

''You're right!'' Mary exclaimed, as she was just seeing the taxis just speed off from Lincoln Park. "At least they're not like speed demons."

''How do you know that?'' Velma asked a legitimate question. "That probably wouldn't be legal anywhere."

''Back at Southtown, the taxis that I actually hit up were some of the fastest that I have ridden...most of the time I just walk.'' Terry explained simply, as this dude was just keeping it chilled.

''It's weird how the production team managed to get so many teams for so many different place to just come together to be in some race.'' Velma realized, as she was just trying to look into the thing.

''Yeah...it's a ridonculously ridonculous mystery.'' Daphne said, just trying to light up the mood. ''Anyways, are you two-''

''Nah, we're just friends that just happened to be on the same team.'' Mary told the investigators.

"Yep and this time, we're here to win some money!" Terry was just stating what Daphne already knew.

Others were a little more rowdy about the wait between the speeding taxis, especially since some of them were known to have their really odd habits.

''Dudley, stop.'' Kitty declared, as the dog agent was just barking up a fire hydrant. ''There's a lot around the world.''

''But this fire hydrant is awesome!'' Dudley shouted, since it wasn't red.

Kitty just rolled her eyes, as Dudley was just sitting right next to it.


Whoever was going to be the winners of the round were going to be revealed right now, as stamina was the only thing that mattered this time around and there was duos that already had that and some speed.

''Who is going to be the second team to arrive at the Chill Zone? It's up to the former cadets, the mercenaries, the ice dancers or the bad couple to win this leg of the race!'' Don announced, very excited to see the results.

''Ready to see us get our second gold?'' Josee asked smugly.

''Yeah, but I'd rather win this one.'' Sanders told the ice dancing queen.

''That'll be a problem.'' Jacques told the officer.

''Alright, no problemo!'' MacArthur boasted.

The two major teams were sure that they were on their way to winning, when all of a sudden, a sudden burst of speed coming from another team made them question that thought.

''Sorry, but this is a race after all!'' Clark told both teams, who were sure that they were passed.

Heather and Alejandro weren't doing too badly in fourth place, as they were sure that their legs were good enough for a gold or a sliver.

''We'll just have to keep it up and get a win or whatever!'' Heather shouted, being a little careless.

Ryo and Yuri wasn't that far away in fifth place and they were just keepin' it up.

''Hey, Kyokugen always keeps up.'' Ryo stated to Heather.

''I don't care.'' Heather said loud and clear.

Either way, someone had to win it and it was actually a close one, as there was two teams that were practically neck and neck, but...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...it was the mercenaries that snatched the non-existant gold.

''Congrats, Ralf and Clark, you get first! Jacques and Josee, you get second and MacArthur and Sanders, you get third!'' Don announced, before Josee gave him a death-glare. ''Glad you're more stable.''

As the top three were celebrated their victories or they just protested silently, there was two more teams that were just coming up and they were determined to make their point.

Thanks to a fast hop, the team who won was...

''Karate Siblings, you're in fourth!''

''Don, it's great to be on this race.'' Yuri told the host, who was blushing, before the next team came in.

''Heather and Alejandro, you're in fifth!''

The two were dissapointed at their relatively great result, especially since a certain team hasn't arrived yet.

Actually that team was having some trouble with their ability to run thanks to one of the members having some kind of strange ailment that definitely didn't have anything to do with the chocolate.

''Knuckles, I'm going to the Chill Zone and I'm going to get you a doctor.'' Sonic told himself.

Sonic wasn't nearly as fast as he actually was, meaning that certain characters actually had a chance.

''Rad and Enid, you're in sixth! Sam & Cat, seventh and finally, Sonic & Knuckles, you're in eighth place!'' Don announced seperately.

Knuckles looked pretty solemn, while Sonic was just estatic to stay for another day and get his friend some help.

''I think that pizza gave me an stomach ache and something worse.'' Knuckles groaned, barely surviving.

TBH, I don't really like the idea of pineapple on a pizza, but it's not really horrible.

1st: The Mercenaries (Ralf & Clark)
2nd: Ice Dancers (Jacques and Josee)
3rd: Former Cadets (MacArthur & Sanders)
4th: The Karate Siblings (Ryo & Yuri)
5th: Bad Couple (Heather & Alejandro)
6th: Bodega Workers (Rad & Enid)
7th: Babysitters (Sam & Cat)
8th: Fast Friends (Sonic & Knuckles)

Weirdly enough, the next three teams somehow came simulteanously, despite one of them having some spice issues over the food for obvious reasons.

''Karamatsu and Jyushimatsu, you're 9th and somehow doing good!'' Don exclaimed, as the latter spat out a jalapeno.

''Where's the milk! My brother's suffering from a heat stroke right here!'' Karamatsu yelled.

''I...don't have any.''

''Thank me later!'' Chun-Li said, just throwing Jyushimatsu some water.

''Thank you right now!'' the brother shouted on the ground, still having some issues.

Jyushimatsu and Karamatsu went on their ways, but another team came and they were good at doing some karate.

''This heat hurts.'' Jyushimatsu told Don.

''Well, are we finished?'' Ryu asked, just happy to let bygones be bygones.

''I guess so.'' Ken said.

''10th goes to Ryu and Ken and 11th goes to Chun-Li and Cammy, making up the top 12 and a half percent...of the leaderboard!'' Don announced, just excited to get it right.

Since, Chun-Li was just checking up on Jyushimatsu, Ryu and Ken sprinted to the finish with determination and both teams get their places.

The two teams weren't really that miffed at the results, as once again, they were the last teams in the top eleven or the best 12.5% of the leaders and the beach gave them time to do some talking.

Low-key tactics

9th: Idiot Brothers (Jyushimatsu & Karamatsu)
10th: Karate Rivals (Ryu & Ken)
11th: Women Warriors (Chun-Li & Cammy)

*Chun-Li, Ryu, Ken and Cammy's confessional on Oak Street Beach*

''You know, it's weird.'' Chun-Li said.

Ryu looked on awkwardly.

''...Out of all of the places that I have gone, fighting against shady organisations, helping my friends, trying to be role models and doing all of the things that I have done...Never thought I would being doing some diplomacy just by being on a reality show.'' she continued.

''Huh, sometimes weird concindences just happen by the fact that people don't know what the heck they're getting into.'' Ken replied, a little confindent.

''Somehow that's the truest words said in this race.'' Cammy said, not surprised.

''Geez, there's gotta be better words.''

''Honestly, considering the genre, there could be way worse words.''

''Sometimes, you just have to cut off a confessional to make sure that you don't...screw...yourself badly.'' Ryu tried to explain, but-

''Er...let's just forget that happened.'' Ken told him.

The four of them were completely sure that this could've been a lot better.

*Yay for huge confessionals*


To be continued with Part 5, where more teams finish the race and more teams complete the third challenge and the teams from the fourth flight get their own spotlight!
