"I'm a highway STAR!" Shane warbled as he swerved the car around a tree. Sam's face was bone white, and he was clinging to his seat as if his life depended. Which, it kinda did. "Slow down!" Sam cried as the speedometer inched towards 110 mph. Effie laughed. "We can't slow down, silly. We're in a race, duh!" Sam simply whimpered and held on tighter. "I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die." He chanted quietly, like some kind of mantra. Shane cackle as their monster tric turned up on one wheel as they took a left turn. Sam wailed in fright as he looked to the left and saw the road beneath him. "I want a lllllaaaaawwwyyyeeerrr!!!" Sam screamed, his voice trailing off as Shane sped faster, coming up fast behind Jamie.
"Shoot, you idiot!" Jamie yelled and Cameron as he swerved to avoid balls of psychic energy, which crashed into the road, making small craters in the asphalt. "I'm trying, you jackass!" Cam shot back as he fired a stream of fireballs at the Speed Demon's big tricycle. All of them were blocked by one of Sam's force fields, and Cameron thought he saw Shane press a button, and Effie grinned insanely and fired a volley of dark green pellets at him. When the hit Cameron, they burst, shooting slimy goo every where. Cam bellowed and whipped his eyes, then glared at the other team. "Okay, screw this, we're playing hard ball." He muttered as he opened the hatch which led into his cannon's barrel. He stuck in his hands, and flames started to form around them. "Fire!" Cam yelled, and he released a huge jet of flame from his hands, which shot out the barrel and hit the road in front of the monster tric. "Hey, you missed!" Shane taunted and Cam simply waved as the front wheel caught in the melted asphalt. It caught in the wheel, forcing the vehicle to spin and come to a screeching halt. "Later days, bra!" Jamie called back to them as he and Cam sped off. Sam swore as he jumped down and started to rip off the asphalt with force field tentacles. "Ugh, this shit stinks!" He complained as some dropped on his shirt. "KEEP WORKING!" Effie screamed, and he saluted. "Ma'm, yes ma'm.", then worked faster, scared of what she might do to him.
Jamie and Cameron were driving on, easily going eighty miles per hour, when they saw the next obstacle. A fork in the road. Jamie slowed down, and came to a stop. "Well, which way do we go?" Jamie asked, and Cameron shrugged. "Don't know, they both look so inviting." He said sarcastically. One lead down into a bleak ravine, while the other lead deep into the forest. Jamie turned the wheel towards the forest route. "I say this way." Jamie said, and Cameron looked at him. "Why this way?" Jamie pointed down the path. "I smell the girls. They went this way." Cameron gave him a strange look. "What?" Jamie asked, and Cameron gave him a blank look as he replied. "You smell the girls?" Jamie rolled his eyes. "Oh, for the love of-! What part of, 'animal powers' was unclear to you? I can smell them like a dog can follow a rabbit." A look of comprehension dawned on Cam's face. "Oh, okay. Forest it is then." He said, and Jamie floored the gas as they weaved through the trees.
Meanwhile, the Gear Grind Girls, Kayla and Victoria had arrived at the first mini-challenge. There was a wooden sign hammered into the ground, lopsided, in front of a large, sleeping bear. Kayla walked over to read the sign and read what the challenge was.
This challenge is pretty straight forward. There is a key on a necklace around the bear's neck. You simply have to get it from him. Good luck!
Chris
Kayla and Victoria looked at each other for a moment.
(Confession Cam…Vroom, Vroooommmm!)
Kayla: I think Chris may have been abused as a child. That, or just has issues. Most likely both.
"How are we supposed to do this?" Kayla asked, and Victoria sighed and rolled her eyes. She stepped towards Yogi over there, and stood calmly in front of him when he woke up. The bear blinked sleepily, then stood up on its hind legs. It glared down at Victoria and roared; a muddy sound loud enough to crack concrete. Victoria's red hair blew back over her shoulders, as his hot breath rolled over her. However, she didn't bat an eye. She simply laid her palm down on top of the bear's head, and it blinked a few times, then fell over backwards, landing on the forest floor with a crash, snoring peacefully. She grinned, bent over, and picked up the key. Kayla was staring, open mouthed. "How?" She began and Victoria chuckled. "I tranquilized him." She said as she hopped on her motorcycle, revving the engine. Victoria grinned and said, "Let's go."
(Confession Cam…Yogi scares us)
Cameron is grinning hugely and nods proudly to the camera: "That's my girl."
Well, there you go. A new chapter written during the weekend. Thanks for reading, and please check out my links to pictures of Jamie, Kayal, Cameron, Shane, and Nicki, which are on my profile. REVIEW!!!
