Ch. 6: Kyūshū-ken part 1

The scene shifts to Kagoshima where the participants left the starting line, and there the vehicles are now entering the highway where the race commences as the Hope's Peak Academy students are bracing themselves as they intend to win the race and collect the 500 million Yen prize money which they find it too enticing to pass up and this led to them customizing their vehicles and enter their names to have themselves join the race, and since the race is said to be part if a reality show that Boom Shaka-Laka claimed, they think that it is going to be okay as the sheik showed that he secured the necessary papers and thus it is okay.

However, some of the participants joined and participates in the race for a reason, as they intend to win and claim the prize money as if their own lives depend on it, and it shows why they are determined to win the race with their very own efforts. The students with a reason the win are:

Sakura Ohgami - she wants to win and claim the prize money so that she can use the money in funding the heart transplant operation of her lover, Kenichiro;

The scene shifts inside the customized car where Ohgami is in, with Aoi Asahina as her teammate with Nekomaru Midai as driver, and the car cruises the road towards the highway, and there Asahina notices her classmate being silent and tries to talk to her in which Ohgami questions if joining the race is the right thing for her to do, which Asahina assured to her that it is the right things as Ohgami did not resort to crime just to find a way to raise money to finance Kenichiro's heart transplant.

"Cheer up, Sakura-chan..."

"..."

"What we're doing is a legitimate one...not a crime-based activity..."

"I see..."

"When we win...you can get the money and pay your boyfriend's operation...at least when he wakes up, he will be pleased that you got the money through legal means..."

"You're right..."

"So so cheer up..."

"..."

Nekomaru interjected and said that the race is in a way legitimate and that this is simply a race so there is no need to have doubts and told Ohgami that all she need to do now is focus on winning the race if she wants to win the prize money, and Asahina nodded saying that this is her one-way ticket in saving Kenichiro, and Ohgami sighed seeing that there is no other recourse but to have faith in what she will do from this point on.

The scene shifts to another vehicle which houses the Royal Racers, which comprises its members of another team, and one of its members has a reason for wanting to win the race and the prize money, and that person is:

Yasuhuro Hagakure - he has EVERY reason to win the race no matter what, as he needed the money in order to pay off the debt he incurred from Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, as well as to have enough money to sustain himself and his mother financially;

Hagakure is focusing o winning the race as he knows that this is the only way to solve his financial debts and to escape possible death at the hands of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, and hr seemed to have found worthy teammates in the form of Sonia Nevermind and Gundam Tanaka, and while he us considering in offering a fortune reading to Sonia, he opted to wait until the race is over should his team fail to win, seeing that Sonia is wealthy, but then he had to contend with a lot of breeding animals that were stacked inside the vehicle and asks Gundam why he had to bring a lot of breeding animals inside the vehicle.

"Geez, Tanaka-chi...why did you have to bring your pets here...?"

"They are my companions...loyal subjects...and my disciples..."

"Looks to me you're raising a farm..."

"I AM NOT!"

"..."

"They will play a pivotal role in helping us win the race...including my four Devas!"

"..."

"All for the glory of my Devas!"

Surprisingly, the breeding animals seemed to be getting along with Sonia due to her elegance and graceful upbringing and she too is fascinated as this is the first time she participated in a real race and liked the idea if racing against ordinary people and is looking forward to the challenges that would come in her team's way, and is curious about Hagakure, having heard that he us said to be an accurate fortune teller, and is considering in having her fortune read once the race is over.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the RV van that is cruising the road along with the other competitors, and it houses the Togami Team, and one of its members is slightly irritated that he had to ride in a COMMONER'S vehicle, and the scene focuses on that person, and that person is:

Byakuya Togami - though money is not an issue, what is at stake is the reputation of the Togami family, and if he wins the race then he can show off how powerful his family is and it would add more to his family reputation and not ridicule from critics;

Togami is not pleased at how things turn out, no thanks in part to his younger twin brother Byakuya II, as he feels like he is stepping on the level of a commoner and not on the level of the elite, but had to put up to his sibling's antics due to the vehicle's engine coming from a famous race car and its horse power would give the team an edge over the others, but then he saw his sibling having a feast consisting of a bucket of fried chicken and began berating him for the scene he made.

"STOP THAT!"

"Huh?"

"You're making a mess!"

"We have a trash bin here..."

"I can't believe I'd let you do this!"

"Relax, aniki...we will win..."

"Grr..."

"Munch-munch-munch...want some fried chicken...?"

Togami is even more pissed seeing that Teruteru is acting as the team's chef and questioned him if he could really contribute which Teruteru saud he can, stating that with his cooking skills, they won't have to stop by a diner and thus hey can continue cruising without stopping and thus maintaining their lead and having an edge over the other competitors, in which Togami sighed in annoyance and hoped that things would go in his team's favor and had no choice but to put up with his team's antics.

The scene shifts to another team, in which it consists of two persons, in which they are riding a customized motorcycle with a strong horsepower, and the scene shifts to one of them showing that he us riding the motorcycle and that person driving is:

Mondo Ohwada - aside from his biker gang's reputation, the prize money he intend to win would help in financing his biker gang's operation as well as to recruit more members to the gang, and thus would be a good thing for him.

Yukimaru is rooting for his boss and acts as his partner, and tells his boss to have more faith in himself, reminding him that he is the leader of the Crazy Diamond Gang and that he shouldn't let his gang down, which Ohwada took it seriously knowing that his biker gang's reputation is at stake here aside from the prize money.

"Cheer up, boss..."

"..."

"We will win...believe me..."

"..."

"For the Crazy diamond Gang!"

"Alright, alright...I'll give my all..."

"That's the spirit, boss!"

"..."

Ohwada nodded and increases the speed of his motorcycle as he and Yukimaru started to get ahead from the other racers, causing the other racers to follow suit. The scene shifts to another vehicle which is a shiny black porsche that resembled Knight Rider, and the scene shifts inside the cat where two persons are inside, and one of them is:

Kazuichi Soda - the Super High School-level Mechanic, as he himself designed the car and added a lot of features in it, and his co-pilot, Chiaki Nanami, is busy playing Need For Speed, in which she carries a portable Playstation 4 with her and Kazuichi told her to focus on the road and not on the console, though she claims that this is in a way, educational as it would help her learn to drive better which he contested it seeing that it offers nothing that would contribute in the race.

"Geez, Chiaki..."

"What?"

"Why not focus on observing the route we take instead of playing that video game..."

"It's part of my plan..."

"Say what?"

"It'll sharpen my driving skills..."

"Knock it off!"

"Ha-ha.."

The team bickered with each other until they noticed that they are lagging behind, and there Kazuichi pressed a button which turns out to be the nitro rocket, and this caused the rocket boosters to ignite and the porsche began to speed up and slowly gets past the other cars and slowly takes the lead, causing the cars to speed up in order to maintain the lead and the advantage over the other racers, and the scene shifts to a customized car which consist of another team, which turns out to be Hope's Angels, and the scene shifts to one of its members and that person turns out to be Kyoko Kirigiri, as she has a reason for wanting to win the race though it is not the prize money she is after, but to make someone pay for making a pass at her, and Yui is somewhat concerned seeing Kirigiri acting like she is not her usual self.

"Kyoko..."

"What?"

"You're not your usual self..."

"..."

"Be calm...and we will win..."

"I hope so...and make Yuto-kun pay..."

"Easy..."

"..."

As Yui tries to make Kirigiri regain her composure and poise, it is shown that Chihiro Fujisaki is manning the computer which shows the map of Japan and he is making sure he calculates which place to take in order to find the fastest route so that they can get an edge and a lead over the others, but tension mounts as a luxurious car passed by and it belonged to the team of Yuto Kamishiro and Hiyoko Saionji, in which Yuto opened the window and began to flirt with Kirigiri, who is driving the car.

"Kyoko-baby!"

"..."

"I'll win this race and make you my date!"

"..."

"Don't give me the cold shoulders..."

"..."

"We'll become a super couple!"

"..."

Although Kirigiri managed to ignore his flirting speeches, Yuto provoked her by stealing a kiss on her cheek before driving away, and Kirigiri loses her temper and stepped on the pedal going after Yuto's car and intend to ram him off, and this caused Yui and Fujisaki to panic and grappled onto Kirigiri and they tried to calm her down as they reminded her what is at stake here and to be careful while driving the road in which they are in the presence of other cars.

"Kyoko!"

"Kirigiri-san!"

"..."

"Calm down!"

"We'll crash if you keep this up!"

"..."

"Get a grip on yourself!"

"Kirigiri-san!"

"..."

Not far, you can see another car is cruising and that car belonged to the team of the Hopeful Lucksters, and there it consists of Makoto Naegi, Nagito Komaeda, and Hajime Hinata, and there they saw what transpired between Hope's Angels and Spies R'Us, and Naegi is worried about Kirigiri fearing that she might end up crashing, while Nagito finds it LUCKY to stumble to such a lively scene, and said this is a good thing see the clear side to Kirigiri while Naegi questioned if this is a good idea in joining the race which Nagito said that it is.

"Relax, Naegi...it'll be fine..."

"That's what I'm worried..."

"You worry too much...where's your usual optimism?"

"But..."

"We'll win this race...and split the prize money..."

"That's..."

"You can take Maizono on a date..."

"Hey!"

Naegi sighed at Nagito's response and glanced at the window as he hoped that things would go well and not get themselves into trouble, and while at it, Hajime is keeping a close eye on the road as his team and the other team ate slowly entering the highway in which speed is starting to become a major factor as this is the chance that everyone wanted - to take the lead and have a huge advantage over the rest of the competition.

The scene shows that they are halfway towards exiting Kagoshima and are soon heading towards the border of Miyazaki, as the competitors are still within the Kyushu prefecture, and the GPS cameras connected to their cars ate recording the scenes of the competitors and are being transmitted towards Aomori, where Boom Shaka-Laka is there, recording the scenes on his laptop as his plans of making a racing-themed reality show is slowly coming to fruition and he expects that once his planned show is completed and aired at his native country, it would garner high TV ratings.

To Be Continued... .

Okay...the race is on...and it shows that the DR crew are at the Kyushu Prefecture and so far Kirigiri and Yuto's team showed aggressiveness in a comedic way...more of that in the coming chapters...

Preview:

The next chapter still focuses on Kyushu...and things will heat up once cops spotted them racing beyond the speed limit...
