Tails was thundering through the plains of Sahana Desert for the Sahana Handicap. Since the race is a handicap, certain drivers have to carry a certain amount of lead in the trunk of their racecars depending on the top speed of their cars. Currently, Tails had about 55 pounds of lead in his trunk. He looked in his rearview mirror, and saw Kiko Canaan fast approaching. Canaan was a native from the desert nation of Emetteccaa. He was a very talented driver, who always kept framed photos of top racers he's beaten.
"You better give up, kid! You and your friend!" he yelled as he pulled up next to Tails. His car was in a very sharp black and silver, with a large 000 on the hood and doors. Sonic was in the race, too. However, he was far up ahead. Tails was trying to make a move up on the cars in front of him. He pushed a cyan car out of his way, and tried to use a maroon as a pick between he and Kiko. Kiko jammed his front bumper under the maroon car, shoving it out of the way and causing it to flip.
"He's angry!" Tails heard the driver of the cyan car yell behind him. He looked over at Kiko, who had rage in his eyes. Tails looked ahead and saw Sonic, driving his bright red Cyclone. Sonic had many cars he would alternate with during races.
"Sonic! Sonic, help me out here Sonic!" he called through the radio. Kiko had begun slamming into the side of Tails' car. Sonic spun the Cyclone around, the same car he won the Dragonic Republic in, and began charging head on towards Kiko. He pulled the emergency brake and spun his car around next to Kiko.
"Hey, hey, hey! Hold on, dog" he told him. Kiko looked over at Sonic. The blue hedgehog began racing the canaan dog hard through the desert. Tails pulled ahead as the two began racing hard. The finish line was in sight. Knuckles crossed the line first by a half a car over Blaine Lackey. Knuckles sat in his car watching the battle for third behind him from just beyond the finish line. Sonic held Kiko off for third.
"You may have beaten me, but I'll get you next time!" Kiko called out as he drove off. Sonic laughed and went over to the podium for the ceremony.
