"But I'm not…" Astrid trailed off her when she noticed the grins from the three adults.
"I don't think we're going to get away from this," Hiccup whispered to her, his face matching hers.
Everyone was ignoring the passed out couple.
Chapter 21
Scotty and Heather were taken to the hospital in the late afternoon two days ago and it looked like neither of them was well enough to join The Run thus making them disqualified from the tournament, to the other couple's happiness and relief.
It was early in the morning and everything was peace and calm, for the time being. Everything was calm and quiet at Yuki's Companion Café as the cats and kittens stretched to wake up, along with Hiccup and his group joined the felines at the café.
Hiccup and his group were already packing up despite that the next stage will be start in the late afternoon. It was the first time since the tournament that actually started a stage that was quite late. Before, the stages would start in the morning or at noon.
Their next destination was the in the city of the Forest of the Night. Forest of the Night was famous for its spectacular view when late at night and that could be the reason on why the next stage will be start in the late afternoon.
Time seemed to go fast since now the race was about to start.
According to the PDA, it said that the stage will start when the sun disappeared in the mountain. So the racers were waiting at the starting line, looking at sun waiting for it to disappear. Once the last ray of light disappeared the first racer sped off, followed by the others.
Forest of the Night lived up to its name; well… it's a forest and the time was at night… But the main reason it was called Forest of the Night was because the thick forest had no lights at all. Sure there are roads but street lights do not exist there.
Hiccup only counted to fifteen when he heard the first siren coming from the police vehicle. RJ wasn't kidding; the Chasers were Lamborghinis, the fast one too.
Similar like last time, Hiccup and his team split up. Only this time, all of them were on the same road. Another difference was the Chasers; they were much faster and more professional than the last Chasers.
Suddenly, the walkie-talkie went live.
"Rhinos!" one of the five racers warned. Sure enough, the whole road before them was full of approaching Rhinos at high speed. And Hiccup only counted to ninety after the first count. The other racers other than Hiccup and his group began to panic, some of them. They either crashed into a tree or… um… other things that does not involve crashing into trees.
Approximately there were only thirty-three racers left in the race, including Hiccup and the others. And that was just crashing into trees and other thing else.
"Follow me!" Gerard called through the walkie-talkie as the monstrous Ram took the lead. The Rhinos, side by side, still were approaching were only few kilometers away from them when suddenly the monstrous Ram made a hard turn right.
The other four watched in horror as they saw the Ram approached the trees beside the road but trusting his judgment, they followed. The monstrous Ram took down a small tree, revealing a passage of dirt covering alternate road. The road was tight, barely fit enough for the monstrous Ram.
The other four racers stared in surprise that there was a secret road as the monstrous Ram ran over bushes and small trees, flattening them up during the process.
"Well, the road is still intact even after all these years!" Gerard exclaimed through the walkie-talkie, making the other confused.
"You know about this road?" Astrid asked through the walkie-talkie.
"Aye, we've used this road while we were still young," Valka answered her question.
"You forgot to say 'over', over," Toothless piped in.
"This is not the time, Toothless," Hiccup groaned.
The journey was quiet as Gerard leading the group through the forest with Astrid behind him, followed closely by Val. Hiccup was the furthest back behind Toothless. Suddenly, Astrid spoke up.
"Hey guys, I think we should turn off our lights"
"Are you crazy!? That's suicidal"
"Just listen to me first. The PD won't expect us to be in the forest. The only way they will notice us is by Eagles. So if we turn off our lights we're practically be unnoticed even from above," the walkie-talkie was quiet for a moment as they all think of her plan.
"That's a good idea," Hiccup was the first one to spoke up. "Suicidal but crazily good idea," soon enough the other agreed although they were mortified of the crazy plan.
They followed her plan carefully. They slowed down their speed, slower than before. They were closer to one another, keeping their eyes on the vehicle in front of them. It was a difficult task, especially for Hiccup since he barely even saw the screeching black Skyline in front of him.
Astrid's plan worked as that could explain when two Eagles flew right passed them not noticing the five racers below in the forest. The five racers snickered as the helicopters flew passed them.
The journey through the forest was quiet – excluding the mighty roars of the roaring Stingray – and soon enough they exited the forest. They were on a lonely wide stone road with no racers or cops in sight.
They all agreed to still turn off their lights, afraid that they might get caught sight of the Eagles. Although there were no other racers or cops anywhere in sight they still wary about their surrounding so they keep their eyes open.
As the five racers kept drove on and on, the road seemed to be getting wider and wider. Then, they arrived to an abandoned highway, making Gerard and Val confused. The five racers were driving side by side, still with their lights off.
But before any one of them pick up the walkie-talkie, something slammed into the slick GT40, making her faltered in her gear shift. Once Val gained back her balance her hand shot out for the walkie-talkie.
"Something hit me!" Valka spoke frantically, panicked.
"What is it? Is there-" Toothless got cut off when something slammed his vehicle. The screeching Skyline swayed from side to side but Toothless expertly regained control of his vehicle. "Something just hit me!"
Looking through his rear view mirror, Hiccup can barely saw four vehicles. Their lights were shut off, hiding them from the five racers. Just as he was counting the vehicle, he spotted one of the vehicles was about to slam him from behind.
Shifting gear, Hiccup twisted the steering wheel, narrowly dodged the upcoming vehicle as he made a 360 turn. Unfortunately, this caused him to slow down, making him surrounded by the mysterious vehicles. Toothless, Astrid, Val and Gerard watched with horror as the four vehicles boxed Hiccup in.
Hiccup looked around him as the four vehicles surrounding him, each vehicle on every side of his car. He desperately searched for a way out but no avail as the mysterious vehicles came closer and closer.
Making a split second decision, Gerard aligned himself and slammed the brake; making his monstrous Ram fell behind. The vehicle to Hiccup's left doesn't have any time to react as the vehicle crashed into the monstrous Ram.
Quickly, Hiccup steered out from the now remaining three vehicles and shot off. Hiccup slammed the throttle to the max to get away from the mysterious vehicles, unaware that he shot passed Toothless and the others.
The roar of the Stingray was still heard as Gerard regroup back with the others; his vehicle had no scratch at all. He and the others sped up in order to catch up to Hiccup.
"Who the hell are these guys!?" Astrid yelled through the walkie-talkie, now with Hiccup in their sights.
"I don't know. I can't get a clear view on what their vehicles were. It's too dark to see," Hiccup frantically spoke, adrenaline still rushed through his vein. The Stingray now regrouped with the others.
"Who do you think are those guys?" Toothless asked. But the question got ignored when Astrid spotted something in her rear view mirror.
"He's gaining on us!" she warned as one mysterious vehicle came in at high speed. Before any one of them could react, the mysterious vehicle slammed into the slick GT40 with great force. The GT40 spun out of control as Val desperately tried to regain control of her vehicle.
She did not succeed.
Gerard watched in horror through his rear view mirror as the GT40 disappeared from it.
"Valka!" Gerard slammed the brake, crashing into the mysterious vehicle during the process. "Ye three go on ahead. I'll handle Valka!" the monstrous Ram turned around and made a beeline for the slick GT40 that crashed into a tree.
