Zooming out of the Teleporter, Sonic noticed the place they were in seemed like an old temple of sorts. He tore down a hill, seeing Sun ahead of him about to make a big jump. Looking around, Sonic noticed two walls off to the side, and while jumping, he again activated his ring, shooting towards it. The only problem was the debris along this path. Dodging and weaving his way through, he saw the Sand Glider ahead of him, turning into another jump.

Nailing another landing, Sonic had to use the Gravity turn once more, again tied with the Sand Glider. Then, the whole Temple looked like it started collapsing.

"Now or never." Sonic stated, looking at the Sand Glider and saluting, before activating the ring. He fell behind slightly, then shot forward like he went through a canon. "YAHOO!" Sonic yelled as he bounced off statues, gaining a massive amount of speed, the energy dying out as he made a jump for it. His landing wasn't exactly spectacular, but it would work. He made another corner, seeing the Ring Rider Sun was on hit the teleporter. Sonic sped up, going into it and when he came out, a giant stretch was ahead of him. There was no way he'd catch up in time. Even the Gravity Dive might not cut it, but one thing would. Him.

"No one has tried it, so no rules were drawn out for it." Sonic remembered what Weiss had said.

"Well, it wouldn't hurt to try, right?" Sonic thought, hopping off his board and hitting the ground running, accelerating faster than anyone thought something could go.

.

"HAHAHA! Sorry Sonic, but no way you could beat me now." Sun said, the finish line in his sights. Then, he heard something behind him. When Sonic caught up to Sun, he couldn't believe his eyes when just beside him, things seemed to take a pause, before Sonic shot forward even faster, emitting a loud bang.

"A SONIC BOOM?! HE'S MOVING FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND!" Sun yelled, watching Sonic speed off into the distance.

.

"WOOHOO HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Sonic yelled as he tore past Sun, seeing the Finish line just ahead. He crossed, skidding to a halt, turning into a backflip while putting his fist into the air as the crowd went wild.

"WE HAVE A WINNER! SONIC THE HEDGEHOG OF BEACON!" The announcer said, Sonic putting his hands on the ground and legs in the air, twisting himself around before launching himself a few inches, landing on his feet with his thumbs up pose.

Sun crossed a few minutes later, running over to Sonic. The two high fived.

"Dude, that was incredible! I didn't think your board could go that fast!" Sun exclaimed.

"It didn't. I passed you on my feet." Sonic bragged, pointing to himself. Sun's face dropped, his hands on the side of his face.

"No way...Just how fast are you?" Sun asked, amazed.

"Let's just say, I'm fast enough." Sonic answered.

"So...you don't actually know?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Sonic answered, the two sharing a laugh and a fist bump as the Sand Glider crossed.

"How did you do that, it was AMAZING! One second you were falling behind and the next you're so far in front of me I couldn't see you!" The pilot said.

"This thing my buddy rigged up." Sonic stated, pointing to his Gravity Ring. "It distorts my immediate gravity or something. I don't know, you'd have to ask him. But I advise against it."

"And why's that?"

"He'll talk your ear off about science and words you couldn't even pronounce." Sonic said jokingly.

"You think that's cool, you should've seen how he passed me. He did a Sonic Boom, without his gear." Sun stated, and the pilot dropped his jaw, Sonic and Sun sharing a laugh. The Atlas vehicle showed up a few minutes later, and Sonic knew Ironwood wouldn't be all that pleased about him running. But hey, no rules were drawn against it.

.

The awards ceremony was a little awkward, but overall relaxed. Everyone cheered for Sonic, well, almost everyone. Ironwood tried getting him disqualified for not using his vehicle, but Sonic and even Ozpin pointed out that there weren't any rules against it. The judges agreed with the two, much to the displeasure of the General. As he walked away, Ironwood turned around and Sonic noticed, sticking his tongue out and making fun of him. Ironwood walked away from it all.

.

On the way back to Beacon, Ozpin put his hands on Sonic's shoulder.

"While I do applaud your victory today, I must ask that you take it easy on the General." Ozpin said calmly.

"What does he have against me anyway's? What did I ever do to him?" Sonic asked, slightly confused.

"James is...a complicated person. And for good reason. He's just weary of what he doesn't understand, so please. Don't take it personally. Give him some time."

"Fine." Sonic said, sighing. "But I really will fight him if that comes down to it."

"He wouldn't treat you to badly." Ozpin said, defending his friend. "He would probably have you and Tails in a room, a real room, where you'd do DNA tests. Sample's here, a test there, but nothing inhumane. He's not your enemy, though I do understand you're hastiness on such matters." Ozpin said, Sonic nodding. "That said, I am proud of you. I'm glad you get to have something of a normal life, and I'm glad that I'm the headmaster of the school you attend."

"Thank you for giving Miles a safe place to stay, a home." Sonic said, a smile on his face as he saw Beacon ahead of them.

A/N: Well, that's what I could do with the race. Probably not my best work, but I wanted to improve on how the race went in the main story. Speaking of improvement, let me here your thoughts. I want to know what makes people happy and what just irritates you in these stories I write. Or if you have a general question, ask away. I'll answer it best I can without spoiling any plans I have for the future. I will say, I am working on a few Halloween chapters for this, though it's still very early in development. Thanks for reading, thus far as it really does mean a lot, and take care.
