Hey everybody! I told ya'll I would update on Thursday! Anyways here it is Chapter 2!Thanks for the reveiws!
The Star Racers fell down to Oban. No matter how many times you do this you still hate it. It scares me to death every time. I always feel like we are going to crash and die. Jordan thought. He felt Molly hit the thrusters just in time. He we go.
Molly sat up in the cockpit. Although she didn't act like it, she was extremely nervous. Okay, Eva, you have to win this for your team. Get your head in the game. She thought. "Koji, any sign of the gates?" she asked though the communicator.
"Looks like six altogether. But be careful. The first three look really close together." Koji answered back.
"Okay, got it," she said. She scanned the area for the first gate. Then, Molly saw a floating ring ahead of her. "I see them!" she said. She began to press on the gas a little more. The Whizzing Arrow III went through the first ring fifth. Molly noticed red lights up ahead. Who the heck is firing up there? She wondered.
The ship jolted forward interrupting her thoughts. Muir had rammed them off course momentarily and ended up going through the next ring first.
Molly sped up as she tried to get Jordan in range. "I got'em, Molly," he said. He began firing at Muir who was an easy target being so big. See you later, jackass! Jordan laughed in his mind.
Okay we're in fourth place now. All we need to do is get rid of these two in front, and we can score some points! Molly sped up. Her opponents veered to the right into a bunch of limbs and branches. "Hang on, Jordan, we've got speed bumps!" Molly yelled through the communicator. She dodged each one, but just when she thought she was clear, a huge rock appeared right in front of her. The Whizzing Arrow III ran straight into it, scraping the paint off the sides. When Molly ran into the rock, a group of blue blobs seemed to float off from the surrounding branches.
"What are those things? They're really cute! I want one!" Jordan said as he saw the odd flying creatures.
"Hey, what was that?" said an alien in a strange language.
"The racers are here to race again!" said another.
"Let's go snuggle with them!" said the first. It jumped off its perch and on to a star racer. "Hey! There's a human inside!" It said to its comrades. "Come out here and give me a hug!" The strange alien said gleefully. It sat there trying to get past the barrier that separated it and its 'snuggle-buddy'. After a few more of its friends jumped on, the star racers seemed to turn and wobble. "Weee!" The alien flew off of the racers vehicle.
"Those humans are getting a bit clingy," said Skun.
"Well, they do have a female pilot," said Ning.
"That doesn't make her one of us, does it?"
"No."
"I think it's time we introduced ourselves."
Ning chuckled at the thought.
The two ships in front of the Whizzing Arrow III disappeared into the forest. "Where are they going?" Molly wondered out loud. The star racer began to jolt and get out of balance. "Ahh! There they are!" Molly screamed as the women began shooting lasers at her. Jordan began to fire at the one of the ships. He switched sides to get a better shot. Skun slowly maneuvered her ship to the Whizzing Arrow III and began to tear a hole with her claw-like finger nails.
Jordan who was still firing at the other ship and did not notice the alien boarding the Whizzing Arrow III. "What the-" he began to say but was interrupted by a claw breaking throw the bullet-proof glass.
"Jordan!" Molly yelled as she heard a strange noise below. What is going on down there? She wondered. Suddenly, a claw cut through the floor. GET AWAY! WHATEVER YOU ARE! Molly began stomping on the claw that was protruding from the floor.
Down below, Jordan laid on the floor beaten and bruised. "Molly…" he said. I won't let that that thing hurt you. He began to heave himself off the floor. Jordan grabbed the fire extinguisher and ran forward. "BACK OFF, PHYSCO ALIEN!" he yelled. She caught the extinguisher just as he was about to hit her.
"You should be more worried about yourself," she threatened. Skun pushed him to the ground and attempted to slice him up with her deadly nails. Jordan moved to the side just in time. He opened the cap and sprayed it in her eye. She screamed and stumbled out on to her own ship.
"Jordan? Are you okay?" Molly called out.
Jordan came into view through the hole in the floor. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. We're in third place, now. Just concentrate on the race."
Molly once again turned her attention to the race. She cruised on toward the finish line.
"Let's regroup," Skun said to Ning. Ning positioned her ship directly on top of Skun's. Their ships combined to make one ship. Skun began to target the Whizzing Arrow III. "An eye for an eye won't be enough this time."
The final gate was nearing. "Good job, Molly, you're almost to the finish line," Don Wei said through the communicator. The red light in the Whizzing Arrow III began flashing. What's going on? Have those crazy aliens climbed back on board again? Molly looked out the side windows frantically. "Koji, Stan, What's going on?"
"It's a plasma missile! And it's heat seeking! Molly! Bank away!" Koji yelled though the communicator.
"I can make it!" she said stubbornly.
Jordan came on the communicator. "Molly, what good are points if we are blown to bits?" he argued.
"Sir, do something!" Stan said to Don Wei.
Don Wei looked at the screen. He watched the plasma missiles closing in on the star racer. "Are you sure they can't make it?" he asked.
"Sir!" Is that man crazy!
Molly was nearly to the final gate when she realized she wasn't going to make it. "Here goes nothing!" She steered the star racer directly towards the sky and then turned back into a loop and began barrel rolling backwards. The plasma missiles weaved around the engines missing them by inches. Molly turned the Whizzing Arrow III to the ground and made a nose-dive. Right at the last minute, she pulled up and the missiles hit the ground. The shockwave still hit the star racer and it wrecked.
Prince Aikka heard a sudden crash behind him. He looked back to see the two gothic aliens fly through the gate instead of Molly. Behind them he saw smoke. He became very worried. I hope they didn't hurt Molly. We are not allowed to kill other players, but still… On the bright side, maybe they gave that gunner a good beating. He rode on.
Molly woke up and looked around. The glass was broken and the Whizzing Arrow III was lying on its side. "Oww," she moaned. The screen came on the communicator.
"Molly report. Are you okay?" Don Wei asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. But I don't know about Jordan. Is he okay?"
"I'm fine, Molly." Jordan appeared. He looked a little beaten up, but he was not seriously hurt.
Ok! Well there's the next chapter! Hope ya'll like it! I know the thing about the little blue blobs was probably weird. But they looked like they were trying to snuggle! Yes, I'm a dork… I know but oh well! And Aikka will be in the next chapter! I'll probably update tomorrow and this weekend. Anyways….. R&R!
