AnimeZing Race: Leg 2
Previously in AZR, seven teams set out in Japan and overcame challenges. DN finished each of their puzzles in record time. Ranma and Akane used their skills to finish the daunting task of making 1000 paper cranes fast. While some teams struggled with the puzzles and getting lost at every turn, it was the Hitachiin twins that came in last and were eliminated from the race. Six teams remain, who will be the next to be eliminated?
This is Japan and the first pit stop. The six teams must leave Japan twelve hours after they reached the pit stop for a mandatory rest period. Yuki and Shuichi who first arrived at 11pm will depart at 11am.
"Using the gem, go to Piffle World and look for Kero-chan to fly with the dragonflies." read Yuki. They arrived in a futuristic city with very, very tall buildings, glass roadways connecting groups of building, floating signs and weird-looking cars with 'wings'.
"Wow!!" Shuichi exclaimed as he drank in the view. After a few minutes, Yuki convinced Shuichi to move on and headed to the Information Center he saw upon arrival, muttering, "We're on a race not a tour."
They found that there's two ways to go around Piffle, car or dragonfly. The place they're looking for is a known 'stadium' for dragonfly races. They hired a dragonfly and were flown to the stadium.
DN followed soon after, went to the same building and hired a dragonfly to the stadium. Ranma, disappointed they won't be able to jump over such tall buildings, hailed a flying cab and showed the clue. The driver dropped them off at the stadium after two stops at two other Kero-chans.
Furuba arrived and Yuki2 immediately called for a dragonfly. During the mandatory rest period, Yuki2 found a library and came across a book about Piffle.
Gravitation found Kero-chan and the clue came out of Mokona's mouth. "Roadblock: Who have the need for speed? I'll do it." Yuki said since part of the rule is that teams need to do roadblock alternately.
A roadblock is a task that only one person may perform. In this roadblock, that person needs to finish the dragonfly race course, collect all 3 badges from all 3 checkpoints to receive the next clue.
"Take care," Shuichi called out as Yuki put on some race gear and took the 101 course for operating the dragonfly. In 5 minutes, he can operate it just like his beloved car, and off he went to the first checkpoint, avoiding floating signs and retrieved the first badge as he passed a barrier holding the badges.
DN, arrived and its L's turn, though Light have doubts that L can finish it with L's sitting and holding habit. It proved to be true when Bleach, Ranma1/2 and Furuba arrived and had long since gone to the first checkpoint and L is still at the 101 course.
Bleach still found their shunpo useful and reached Kero-chan in no time. Yachiru took the 101 course, with Ranma1/2 and Yuki2 that arrived a few minutes later.
Loveless arrived last and Ritsuka took the crash course as Ranma and Yuki2 headed out. Yachiru is having fun playing around with her dragonfly while L is struggling to control his. All three of them headed out at the same time just as Yuki came in, finishing the course in record time. He gave the badges to Mokona and received the next clue.
"With your dragonfly, look for Ryuuoh at hid dragonfly garage. Wait here I'll go change."
Shuichi stopped him. "Don't change. You look great in that outfit." With the map from the Information center, they located the garage.
At the race track, Ranma finished the race course as he passed through the third checkpoint, clearing the random geysers, and through the goal held by another Kero-chan. Yuki2 and Yachiru were still in the twisting tube of the second checkpoint. Loveless and DN closely followed after retrieving their first badge.
Gravitation reached the garage and found Ryuuoh tweaking his dragonfly.
"Detour." They both read from the clue.
A detour is a choice between 2 tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this detour, teams must choose between Dress Up or Dress Down. In Dress up, teams need to recreate a dress, deliver it to the Piffle Princess Company and participate in a photo shoot. In Dress down, teams need to wash four dirty dragonflies and deliver them to Piffle Princess Company for a photo shoot. The clue will be handed to you with the photo from the photo shoot.
Considering their lack of talent in creating clothes, just wearing them, Gravitation chose Dress Down.
Ranma1/2 got there as Yuki and Shuichi started on their first dragonfly.
"Dress Up." Ranma said when he saw Dress Down involves getting wet.
Furuba and Bleach arrived almost at the same time. Both chose Dress Down. Bleach easily finished washing four dragonflies thanks to their speed. They delivered their dragonflies the same time as Furuba, Gravitation close behind.
Loveless arrived, followed by DN sometime later.
Soubi chose Dress up since with Ritsuka's height, they'll have problems in cleaning dragonflies.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, L-wise, DN chose Dress Down.
Furuba and Bleach delivered the dragonflies at the Piffle Princess Company rooftop, at the same time. Once the fourth dragonfly was delivered they snapped a quick photo with the models.
"Go to the next pit stop. Find the president of Piffle Princess Company and present the photo. The last team may be eliminated." Yachiru read then they vanished in a flash.
"Shoot they're fast." Kyou said as they run to the stairs. They came in first place.
Gravitation came in second, wet from the unexpected work. "That was fun." Yuki rolled his eyes at Shuichi's exclamation.
Bleach arrived seconds later, after getting lost in all the hallways and corridors.
In the workshop, Ranma1/2 finished first and headed to the company rooftop minutes ahead of Loveless. Loveless caught up with them when Ranma became hysterical, the photo shoot involves a cat. Since pictures are taken on a first-come-first-serve basis, they needed to wait while Akane calmed down crazy-cat behaving Ranma. Once Ranma was curled on Akane's lap, a quick snap and they're off. Akane carried Ranma on her back and quickly found the president's office. With her extra baggage, Loveless caught up and they tied in fourth place.
DN arrived last at the pit stop. "L and Light, you're the last team to arrive⦠I'm pleased to announce that this is a non-elimination leg" Tomoyo said smiling. Light gave L a glare. He's upset because it took unnecessary minutes to fetch a mask before L agreed to have his photo taken.
