Previously on Chasing You,
Very hesitantly, Hiccup wrapped his arms around Astrid, making her sighed as they closed their eyes. They both had content smiles on their face, completely oblivious to the muffled mirth as a phone was recording the scenery.
"This is going to be good," Toothless whispered as he recorded the moment where the couple shared a passionate kiss before going to sleep.
Chapter 23
Only thirteen racers left in The Run. It was both good and a bad thing…
It was good because there are much lesser stages to come; which means that the final race is getting closer and closer.
It was bad because at some point eventually, they will lose. And the cops are getting stronger. Also, Bewilderbeast and Red Death were still in The Run, decreasing everyone's hope in winning the race.
Hiccup felt better today and even more prepare for the race than the night before. All thirteen racers were there at the starting line. All of them were eager for the race to start. Hiccup noticed that the vehicles remaining were all exotic vehicles. Toothless and Astrid were the only vehicles that are tuners while Hiccup was the only one with muscle car.
He didn't remove the braid behind his right ear Astrid made last night, and she made another one this morning. Toothless mysteriously didn't question about them but he did smile mysteriously at him.
Hiccup was leaning back against his Stingray while Toothless and Astrid chatted idly, waiting for the next stage to start. He noticed that Drago and Alice were walking around, talking with the other racers.
Hiccup kept his eyes on them the whole time, feeling very suspicious of their action. They talked with every racer left in the race except for him, Toothless and Astrid. Once in a while, Drago or Alice would glance at him as they talked with the racers with a hush tone.
The PDAs went on, telling the racers that the next stage was starting.
Hiccup was putting on his fingerless gloves as he sat in his Stingray, waiting at the back of the line when the walkie-talkie went alive.
"Bro?" Toothless spoke.
"Yeah, Toothless?"
"Mom and Dad just called me; they said good luck," Toothless told, making him smiled.
"Let's speed our way to the finishing line, shall we?"
"Affirmative!"
"Roger that!"
The next finishing line was behind the Witch Mountain. The road to Witch Mountain was wide opened, making it easier for Eagles to spot them. The road had a lot of twists and sharp turns, and placed at the very edge of cliffs. The road will be wet since it was always moist up at the mountain.
The road going up the Witch Mountain was dangerous enough. Going down the mountain was much worse especially using the road at the back of the mountain.
It was a Race To Witch Mountain.
No, wait… that's the movie…
It was a Race Crossing the Witch Mountain.
Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless agreed that they will not be in the straight line formation. They will race freely without any formation; they will be own their own.
It was not what RJ would want, but he didn't say that they must not use this option. He did confess that not all of the things he recommended always went well.
Hiccup took this opportunity to use his roaring Stingray in its full potential. In the previous stages he had to slow down in order for the other to catch up. But now that they will be on their own, Hiccup will show the true power of his Stingray.
Too bad Astrid and Toothless will left far behind, but they assured him that they will be fine. And he will trust them.
Hiccup took his sweet time at the starting line, letting his Stingray roared loudly, shaking with power and warming up. The start was very strong the front wheels of the Stingray lifted a foot from the ground for two seconds.
He went full speed ahead; the speed and power he had restrained himself for the past stages had been unleashed. The Chasers only appeared for a brief second before they disappeared from his rearview mirror, completely forgotten.
Even the Eagles having a hard time plotting his location since the Stingray shot there and here nonstop. To them, it looked like the Stingray was everywhere.
A hidden cop with a speed radar could take his eyes off from the reading when the roaring Stingray shot by, blowing away his full box of doughnuts during the process.
It recorded 275 miles per hour.
The only warning the other racers received before the Stingray shot passed them was the deafening roar of the mighty Stingray. After they heard the roar, they were certain that they will never catch up to him.
Hiccup already shot passed eight racers with ease half way from the Witch Mountain. The only two racers left were Drago Bludvist and Annie Gigantus, the Bewilderbeast and the Red Death.
Hiccup was climbing up the mountain when the Stingray suddenly skit during a turn. Panicked, Hiccup tried to right his vehicle but suddenly he took a deep breath.
"Remember your training, Hiccup," he began to calm down and calmly righted his Stingray. He remembered the time when he panicked during his training with RJ and ended nearly a disaster if RJ didn't twist the steering wheel. He got scolded by RJ that day for being too much panicked.
Soon enough, the Stingray stabilized and continued sped up the mountain. Hiccup drove slower this time, since currently he was more worried about his live than anything. And he would fall down the cliff he was not careful.
He hoped that there won't be a cliffhanger.

Surely not.
Just as he was about to drive down on the other side of the mountain, he barely spotted the two racers. The Hennessey Venom GT and the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport sure disappeared fast. But Hiccup was determined to catch up.
The road down the Witch Mountain got more twist and sharper turns that the road before. It made turning difficult but it doesn't stop Hiccup. He got trained by a professional racer and he will not waste that training for nothing.
He drifted around corners and turns with only a mild difficulty that can barely noticed. He caught up with the duo soon enough, and battled for the first place.
Drago and Alice were confused when they heard a loud roar approaching. And they were of course, very shocked when the black Stingray that belonged to the younger Night Fury Brothers showed up between them.
They bribed the other racers to take down Hiccup and his gang, especially Hiccup. But somehow he managed to escape. But they both noticed that Hiccup was alone; the black screeching Skyline and the blue hissing 370Z were nowhere to be found.
But even with the other two weren't around Hiccup showed a lot of confidence since the Stingray was driving between them, matching their speed. Even through the corners and sharp turns, the Stingray stayed between them, mocking them.
Drago was incredibly shocked that a seventeen year old schoolboy was very skillful in racing. He once tried to slam into the Stingray but the black muscle fell back before the Venom GT could hit it. Drago nearly hit Alice and the Stingray went back between them when Drago moved away.
So the rumor was true after all. A runt with a marine animal had beaten a bodybuilder with a venomous reptile by an hour.
His mind was so focused on the Stingray he didn't realize that they were approaching the finishing line until the Stingray sped up, leaving him and Alice behind.
For the first time in Drago's life, he had finished second. He now knew that Hiccup will prove a very challenging racer.
Hiccup on the other hand, was whooping in his Stingray, fist pumping the roof with victory. He hadn't felt that speed and excitements in awhile and it drove him super excited. Now, all he had to do was wait for Toothless and Astrid.
Hiccup didn't know that there was a small town behind the Witch Mountain called Stubbornoxious, a place of peace despite the weird name. The atmosphere there was absolutely perfect. It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too cold. It made the waiting comfortable.
After a very long time waiting, a blue and a black were spotted, approaching the finishing line. But Hiccup spotted something. The vehicles were quite wrecked, like some vehicles were slamming them multiple times, and they were slower than usual.
Worried, Hiccup grabbed his walkie-talkie at spoke tried to contact them, hopefully that they were close enough for connection.
"Toothless, Astrid; are you two okay?" Hiccup spoke. Sure enough, he received a respond.
"Yeah… we… kay… just… ek… and all…" the speech got cut off over and over by statics.
"Where're the other racers?" Hiccup asked again.
"All either got wrecked or… by the PD," Astrid answered, a little bit clearer now since they were closer. Then, something hit him.
"Wait, if you two are the only ones left, that means that only one of you are going to stay in the race," Hiccup said with horrid.
"Heh, that's why Astrid and I… competing for that… spot," Toothless chuckled. Hiccup couldn't do anything to make sure that both can enter the race but he had to accept the fate that only one will.
Suddenly, out of the blue, a black Porsche 911 Turbo appeared between the skyline and 370Z. The 911 Turbo was wrecked, but not wreck enough to slam hard into the Skyline.
The Porsche stopped dead in its track; probably because the vehicle had taken to much abuse. But that was not what made Hiccup horrified. He watched in horror as the Skyline lost control and flipped upside down after got that hit.
"HANK!" Hiccup yelled his name, not even using the walkie-talkie. The blue 370Z stopped and turned to make a beeline for the upside down Skyline.
Hiccup stood there, frozen, as reality struck him when the blue 370Z that carried his injured brother driven by his friend crossed the finishing line.
"Vehicle Nissan 370Z, arriving at fourth place, is eliminated"
Hiccup was now alone in the race.
