Super Ridonculous Race
Episode 5: The Dutch Cycle!
Part 3a: Gouda Moves!
I should know that I probably should be working on some more racing, because this is definitely a race...a ridonculous race, especially since it's my favourite story!
Don't worry, I know I should have also been releasing more chapters this month, especially with all of the extra time that I got from my new part-time job!
Yes, I don't really have that much to say in this precursor note other than there's going to be more plot, more relationships and more of that race that I know how to write!
Anyways, here's the shorter third part!
''Welcome back to the race that usually have three or four flights leading to a location, which is Rotterdam this time. The third flight is the last flight, if you somehow couldn't tell and the karate guys are still having an time.'' Don announced, as Ryo and Yuri were passionately angry.
Yuri was just still punching air, while Ryu might have gotten punched in the process, as he knew the only way to calm down his anger.
''Whoa, whoa, you can't say punching everything solves anything!'' Mickey was just trying to get direct.
''Does it really?'' Yuri was just trying to do some in the cramped space.
''After that slightly poetic statement, I'd have to agree.'' Ryu was just confindent that the Kyokugen duo were acting over-the-top.
Yuri finally calmed down, as she was just trying to chill with his brother, Ryo and the sky waitress and both of them were just happier that she wasn't punching air.
''To be honest, you shouldn't never punch air in a plane, especially in a packed one like this.'' The sky waitress explained to Yuri, who got it. ''Okay then, you shouldn't done it for the last hour.''
''I'm mad!'' Yuri shouted for no apparent reason.
*The Karate Rivals' confessional*
Ken was just painfully smug about something, as Ryu was just feeling the after effects of the smugness.
''Ken, why are you like this and how long are you going to be like this?'' Ryu was just groaning.
''Probably for about a day, when we beat those old creeps for...screwing up our trip.'' Ken's enthusiasm.
''They did intentionally make us lost just for this race.''
''That's why I'm going to overtake them, Elisa!'' Ken's enthusiasm returned with a slightly close up.
*Confessional cut*
There was already a few teams that were just relatively confused about their position in this Ridonculous Race, especially since there was still a long way to the end.
Mickey and Minnie were just sure that this wasn't really the intended result, as Joe and Sylvia was doing a similar in the seats that were just opposite to them.
''Are you guys trying to ask why you came to this race?'' Minnie just looked happier than ever, strangely enough. ''Because I-''
''That's really a big question to just drop on us.'' Sylvia was just all ears.
''Yes, it definitely is a big one, but...I'd like to know.'' Minnie was just blushing at this moment.
Sylvia was just willing to explain it, as Joe was just giving the literal thumbs up on that one.
''Okay, so, even though our lives are relatively good for having two jobs that actually work really well...we do have two different jobs and because of this, we're going away on this race to take a break. Still kinda reminds of the movies.''
Minnie was just chuckling a little bit.
''Wow, mine is kinda similar except it's a little bit simpler.''
Joe was just a little bit interested.
''So, what's your reason?''
Minnie just paused for a little bit before she just started.
''I was just planning to go on some kind of trip around the world with Mickey. I guess somewhere along the way, we both signed up to this race, since we thought that this was going to be fun and we didn't really have that much money.''
Mickey just added on some things.
''I guess we didn't expect to be in the danger zone so early in the game.'' Mickey said with a slightly insincere smile.
''Wow...that's just kinda...incredible.'' Joe wasn't really that shocked, but it was clear that the conversation hit a wall.
''Uh, hey, Rotterdam's pretty good for this time of year, especially with all of the buildings and stuff.''
''Wait, isn't that where they filmed that Dutch superhero epic? The one with the guy punching a building?''
''Nope, never heard of that one.'' Mickey said with a more genuine smile.
Minnie and Sylvia were just in awe of how the conversation was turned, as the boys was just talking about superhero movies.
*The Good Couple's confessional*
Mickey was just looking very saddened, as Minnie was just confused.
''How did I even do that? I just killed something and brought it back to life.'' Mickey was just saying it without thinking.
''...I hope you never do that.'' Minnie just said with an awkward smile.
*Confessional cut to the Dating Heroes' confessional*
Joe and Sylvia were just ready to get things back to normal, as Sylvia was just trying to figure it out and Joe was just stupidly confindent.
''I mean, you definitely did a pretty decent thing, but how does that even happen?'' Sylvia was just trying to figure it out.
''I don't really know, but it did, so we've gotta figure it out.'' Joe was just ready to move on from the situation.
*Confessional cut*
The next challenge was bound to be revealed and this reveal was going to come after the cyclists get rolling for the second challenge and there was about zero teams leaving the Museumpark area, wherever it was Leuvehaven or near Het Park.
''While there is a lot of speed coming from many teams, only two
So far, there was only two that got even close to finishing this one off and they were the obvious picks, yet they were so surprised.
''Tails, how the hell are you so fast?!'' Sonic shouted in frustration.
''I learned from the best.'' Tails just kept his 'cool' smile.
They were definitely with their partners to finish this challenge off, as they were about to make sure that their cameras were up to par.
''Alright, let's just move onto the next challenge and we can do that instead!'' Knuckles suggested, just trying to be chill.
''Good suggestion.'' Zoey was just ready to be a bicycling fox.
The two leading teams were definitely the fastest out of the all-star cast, as they were just the best runners, even if they had no reason to be.
The ice dancers, the mercenaries, the bad scitentists and the kid heroes were somehow the next four duos to be closest to moving, as they were heading in the same route back to their bikes, along with the leading two duos.
Basically, somewhere near Leuvehaven, the sun was still shining at 4pm at the sun was just getting into some teams' faces and the competition was still burning for more.
''Come on, Josee, we've got some winning to do!'' Jacques was just trying to overtake Clark.
Clark was just keeping his steely nerves, as he kept up his speed with Ralf providing the heat with the slightly faster run.
Though, the ice dancers, being typical ice dancers managed to get the lead with their light steps and brisk pace and these two did care about doing it legitmately dirty...which is pretty much not breaking the rules, but just making everybody's race worse.
''Well, you can at least that they are determined to make sure that the situation's theirs.'' Clark noted, as Jacques and Josee got it.
*The Mercenaries' confessional*
Clark was just sure that things were going to crash and burn.
''Honestly, I don't think those two are going to cheat for however long the competition goes on for...mostly because they're enjoying it a lot more. But, I do think they're going to try and find that grey area.'' Clark commented, as he was just talking about the race. ''Though, those old men should watch for penalties coming their way.''
*Confessional cut*
However, they weren't the first teams to hit the second Don Box, as the fastest two duos were actually able to just hit the Don Box, which had a warning on it.
''Pro tip: Complete the first challenge first. Man, we definitely did that!'' Knuckles was just fist-bumping Sonic.
''Alright.'' Tails was just really happy to hit that button in instant. ''Knuckles, you do the honours.''
But Knuckles bumped out three Ridonculous tips for obvious reasons, getting two of them to their teams and the third was actuallly taken by Jacques and Josee like the best.
''What's an honour?'' Knuckles asked, as he caught up with the ice dancers on bike.
''Something that you can't compherend.'' Jacques was just ready to condescend hard.
Jacques and Knuckles read at the same time or in the case of the latter, tried to.
''Good enough for me? It's an All-In, Sonic.'' Knuckles read, as Jacques was just ready to take the spotlight.
''Whoever want to finish this leg has to get at least one of the following cheeses, Edam and Gouda...'' Jacques continued, as Ralf arrived to finish the sentence.
''After which you should be getting to the Chill Zone and make sure that you don't drop the cheese and keep the camera on the neck.'' Ralf finished, as he was just more motivated to grab some Gouda.
But Don was just the guy that could only finish the tip, as he was the host with the French toast, as he was definitely at a place that would take a while by cycle.
The place's name was Vlaardingen, as it was a place that could only be accessed by bike or bus right now and this guy was just in a very suburban plaza.
''Also, you should really recheck your cameras, because while you are able to go back and correct yourself in the previous two challenges, if you're slow enough to be in the bottom two, you're gone for gouda!'' Don had a bit of that Gouda cheese on his own hand and he just took a quick bite out of it. ''How was that?''
*The Street Fighters' confessional*
''Heh, this challenge is going to be real good and I bet I know what's going to go in some of those club sandwiches.'' Terry said, trying to find out what's happening.
''I'm guessing you haven't heard how much it's used.'' Mary just chucked before saying that.
''Come on, you're joking, right?''
*Confessional cut*
Don was just ready to take it up, as there was a lot more race that was just ready to be packed in, especially with a potential to find some good cheese in the markets in Rotterdam.
With some of the fastest riders being in this reality show, the race was bound to have several surprises that may include some back burners.
''While the best of the best just take at a immeasurable speed, like, wow...''
The flight landed pretty damn perfectly, as the last of them.
''...As the last flight included two teams that I probably disappointed and the rest...is now on the ground and these guys are lagging not that far behind, surprisingly.''
Don was just talking about Ryo, Yuri, Ryu and Ken, as they were the four that were just really putting in the effort and the four that were part of the breakaway group that was just leading the fourth flight charge to victory.
''Talk about keeping up the pace. I wasn't even expect you four to be that fast, considering...that.'' Joe was just really feeling the surprise.
''Honestly, when you're cycling, it doesn't really matter that someone wronged you.'' Ryo was just more motivated to exercise than ever.
Ryo and Joe were definitely leading the way, as their partners were behind by a single meter, while the Karate Rivals were actually getting farther away by about a inch a second.
That didn't mean that there wasn't any strong contenders in the backburning group, as there was quite a few and some of them had this weird feeling inside of them, as these duos were just ready to work it back up to get to the top.
''Er, we're still in this thing, no matter how far back we get sent!'' Max was just more motivated to just keep things going. ''Sami, let's show them something.''
''Show what?''
''Show our team-building skills!''
''We're both on a tandem, so...''
Sami was just genuinely confused what he meant, but Max just had an very awkward smile that sealed his lower mid-tier position, as Joe and Sylvia were just taking a quick look at him.
Ryo and Yuri were just not that angry, but that anger managed to stir and turn into an near unstoppable determination and Ryu basically felt the same way, except he was determined all of the time.
Ken was still a very angry man, as his bike riding technique was just becoming more of a clumsy ride and Ryu was just trying to deal with his dour mood.
''Are you going to still going to be like this?'' Ryu asked, as he was just cycling.
''No...I just want to punch those evil elders in the face for getting lost in dangerous territory!'' Ken explained.
Ken and Ryu was just very willing to bring some of the best energy that they could do.
''Can you at least not make the bike sway?'' Ryu was just concessing to move things foward.
Ken just shrugged his shoulders and kept his anger in check, as the two karate teams were just still outpacing nearly every other team, but there was still some other serious players.
The High-School Runners and the High-Speed Drifters were definitely in 66th and 67th, as they were just cycling their hardest to get to many places that they definitely knew where they was.
These guys were just plain directly glaring at each other, as while Kagura and Itsuki were really bearing a little bit of ill will, Takumi and Tomo were actually kinda confused by each other's actions.
''Eh?'' Takumi just had this spooked look.
''Yeah, listen, I can drift like you can!'' Tomo boasted, as she was just ready to prove on the spot.
''Really?'' Itsuki was just accidentla
Tomo wasn't even remotely sure how to do it, before she was sure that Takumi wasn't able to do that tandem drift.
Needless to say, the situation was a little bit crazy.
Takumi and Itsuki both co-operated to just not go along with Tomo's plans, as the hyperactive high schooler was just really getting into the drift of things with a misuse of the brake.
''Are you dumb as-?'' Kagura didn't even get to finish the question, before her team's bike was just sliding on the ground. ''-as a brick.''
''Of course I'm not dumb as a brick!'' Tomo replied, as her shins weren't exactly doing too hot.
''Hey, acting like a dumb brick isn't going to convince anyone!'' Kagura was just ready to just get back up.
''Well, let's just not drift, then.'' Tomo's smile was just pretty much gone, but her tenacity wasn't.
The high-school runners were definitely just getting back on track, as they were just making sure that they were back in with the psuedo-peleton that were just ready to survive.
''Wow, Dexter, this place looks a lot...old school.'' Dee Dee was just taking in all of the picture-esque architecture that was just gathered in the city. ''But it also looks very new-school.''
''We should be focused on the race that we are currently losing!'' Dexter shouted, as he wasn't in the mood to lose. ''Besides, there's all kind of buildings from many ages.''
Dee Dee just didn't really get it, as she was just cycling along.
''Hey, didn't those two go very fast?'' Dee Dee saw that Tomo and Kagura were not too hot. ''Hey, girls-''
''No interacting with the competition!'' Dexer was obviously not in the mood.
''I just wanted to remind them to get up.''
''Dee Dee, they already know.''
The race was definitely starting to feel like it could in a lot of directions, as there was a lot of teams that were just working their way towards the first challenge, especially with the thin wheels colliding with the relatively rough pavement.
As for Don, there was definitely a lot of hosting that he had to do, as he some kind of transition to do, as his face was cleaned of all traces of Gouda.
''Whose fates are going to be good enough for this round? Who's mental dam is going to crumble? And most important, who's going to be the first team to eat the cheese and show up at the Chill Zone!'' Don announced, as he had a wheel of Gouda as the main decoration of the carpet. ''Maybe it was me, maybe it wasn't, but keep all of your eyes focused on...''
Don's face was just really zoomed in and focused in, as it was actually kinda clean.
''...The Super Ridonculous Race!'' Don finished, as his teeth just flashed the screen to a black screen.
To be continued in Part 3b, which is actually coming out either later this week or next week, because all of those questions are going to be answered in a longer chapter, wherever it is three hundred words more or three thousand words more than this one, because expect to see some teams show off at the Chill Zone!
