Here's part two! Enjoy!

March 5th

Today was Monday, but it was a special Monday: it was the first day of the Grand Prix. Everyone that signed up for the event was Gear-happy and ready to race, but the first race want until the end of the week. The Freedom Fighters, Babylon Rogues and other contestants were signed into the races. In the morning announcements they said that there would be an opening ceremony at the end of the day in the front lobby and one of the rules was that the parties had to have three people in them. School finally ended and those participated in the Prix went to the front lobby. The lobby was set up with a microphone with Omochao at the top of it.

"Welcome racers," she said with that announcer joy in her voice. "I'm Omochao and it's time for the Annual Grand Prix! The winning group will not only get a spiffy trophy but also bragging rights for the rest of the year! Is everyone ready to get started?" Everyone cheered.

"Then let's name who's gonna race this month! The groups are: Team Heroes, Team Dark Rose, Team Future," Omochao named a couple of more groups. "And finally the Babylon Rogues, our three-consecutive years winners!"

Team Heroes had Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. Team Dark Rose had Shadow, Starr and Amy. Team Future had Silver, Blaze and Rogue.

"Now the first race is this Friday right after school so don't be late and come ready!" Everyone left to leave for home.

March 9th

Race Day was here! After school came slowly but surely. Groups were at the portal where they would travel to; they all would travel across the globe using Transportation since the school track was too small and not capable of holding Extreme Gear races. Friendly "good lucks" were given throughout the field before travelling happened.

Everyone was wearing their typical racing outfits: goggles, track pants, sports bras, etc. Starr had a tightish, orange jumpsuit, it had two straps on her shoulders, the neckline was a deep U shape, two blue stripes were on he side of her torso and the pant cut were shorts that ended above her knees (they fit snug around her legs). She changed her footwear similar to her shoes except they were proper, flat running shoes.

First up was the simple Metal City. All the groups got to the start, their Gears were anxiously ready to take off. The timer started: "4...3...2...1...GO!"

The race had started! Racers passed each other, making jumps and performing tricks. Knocking other riders off their guard and trying to win the three laps in time was the main goal in everyone's head. The rule was that everyone from your group had to cross to make a place in the semi-finals. The Babylon Rogues were secretly playing dirty, as usual, using their skills to beat other players who were ahead of them. Sonic and Jet were neck and neck during the final lap. Staring down Sonic Jet was determined to win the first race, even if it meant that his other teammates didn't cross in time; he was determined to beat Sonic.

Jet was being too distracted by Sonic that he didn't see Starr sneak up beside him. Sonic, however, saw Starr and gave her time to get beside Jet completely. Sonic gave Jet a two-finger salute and smiled. Jet was confused but turned his head to his right side to see the black and blue hedgehog right beside him! He was taken off balance to see a new racer at his status. Starr kick dashed and headed for the goal that was right up ahead. Jet saw her cross the finish line then Sonic. He kick dashed to catch up to the hedgehogs but Starr had come in first. Others started coming across the finish line and the semi-finalists were named: Teams Heroes, Dark Rose, Future and the Babylon Rogues. Everyone was transported back to the school to go home and practice for next week's race. The Freedom Fighters were congratulating each other, especially Starr who beat Jet in the first race, while Jet was getting irate about his 'loss'.

"How could she have beat me?!" Jet went on and on. "I'm the fastest in the air!"

"Jet," Wave said trying to calm him down. "It was the first race. It was probably luck but we have skill and experience. We're gonna win this thing Jet. Don't worry about it."

"Want me to teach her a lesson, Boss?" Storm asked slapping his fist in his hand.

"No need Storm," Jet answered. "Let her have her glory for this week. We'll get ours back."

March 16th

The next race was in the Grand Canyon. The day was hot and dusty, windy without a cloud to see for miles. The four teams prepared themselves for the race, tuning their Gears and stretching their limbs out. Starr was talking to her teammates when the Babylon Rogues came up to them.

"That last race was luck," Jet said to Starr. "This one won't be so easy."

Starr smiled sweetly, with no anger or bad competition in her at all. She held her hand out for a handshake and said to Jet, "may the best team win."

Jet looked at Starr's hand in disgust and said, "we plan to." They walked away.

"They're just trying to intimidate us," Shadow reminded his female companions.

"We'll that's not about to happen," Amy said crossing her arms. Suddenly Omochao's voice could be heard.

"The race is about to start. Participants please make your way to the start."

"That's us," Starr told her team. "Let's go."

The twelve racers were at the start, eager for the timer to start and set them off. Everyone mounted their Gears as they started to float above the ground. Starr inhaled deeply and concentrated on the race ahead.

"5...4...3...2...1...GO!"

The riders started to ride! Whizzing through the air, passing one another the race was hot and fast-paced. Starr and Shadow were racing next to each other most of the race; she used her water abilities and he used his chaos spears to knock others out of their way.

"Amy and Wave are trying to fight their way to the finish!" the voice said on the PA system. Starr looked behind and saw Amy and Wave were trying to bump each other off the track, trying to win the final lap. Amy lost her balance and started to fall behind. She grabbed Wave's wrist, for support, and they both started to tumble on their Gears, headed to a cliff. Starr's heart was pounding more than it already was.

"Shadow go on ahead!" Starr said as she booted her one foot on the ground making the Gear lift above the ground in a circle in order to turn around. Shadow had no chance to try and talk her out of it so he continued to the finish line.

"Wait everybody! What's this? Starr's going back to get her fallen teammate!" Starr ended up upright again, a little behind the two female racers. Amy and Wave were falling off the cliff, ready to fall to a painful crash. Starr reacher her hands out and grabbed the girls' wrists to pull them back up. Everything happening super fast, Starr managed to save both the riders. In the moment, Wave kick dashed her way past the two female hedgehogs and made it to the finish before them. Amy and Starr were last to cross the finish with Shadow, and the other teams, already there waiting for them. They felt failure finishing last, but Starr reminded herself that it was either winning the race or losing a friend.

"Thanks Starr," Amy said out of breath. "I thought I was a goner." Shadow came running over to them.

"Are you guys okay?" He asked frantically.

"Yeah we're fine. I thought Amy was a goner and I wouldn't get to her in time."

"I'm just glad you're okay."

"Attention everyone!" Omochao said. "The winners of this race is: the Babylon Rogues! The judges were discussing the events of this race and have made a decision. Seeing that Starr the Hedgehog went back to save not only her teammate but a rival, we've agreed to award Team Dark Rose with second place for having a strong sense of moral fibre!"

Team Dark Rose congratulated their 'moral fibre' teammate. Even though Team Future was booted out of the next round, they still were happy for the other team. The nine friends were hugging and giving their congrats to each other while the Babylon Rogues just stood there, staring at the group.

"Are you okay Wave?" Storm asked.

"I'm fine," Wave said brushing the area Starr grabbed to save her.

"She just saved you. You should thank her at least."

Wave hesitated as she slowly walked over to the group. She cleared her throat to get their attention. They turned to see Wave digging her toes in the dirt.

"Hey I..." She stumbled to say. "I just wanted to... say... thanks. I thought I was done for." Her head was down, she never had to thank a rival for saving her. Starr twisted her head so she was looking at Wave's face.

"You're welcome," Starr said honestly. Wave walked away to get out her embarrassed state. Wave and her team walked away.
