Here we go chapter 2 of 5 in the World Race I own nothing but my story
The screen showed the same rocky landscape as before and backtracked showing what looked like the beginning of the track as the portal opened up as Jaune, Raven, Ren, Nora, and Adam all came through it at the same time leaving behind trails of color from their tires as they soared through the air before they came down onto the track
"Where are we" Jaune said in wonder taking in the breathtaking sights around him
"Ozpin was right, it's another dimension" Adam said having a similar reaction to Jaune and right after he finished saying that Blake and the others came through not very far behind
"How is the track being held up, I can't see anything supporting it." Penny said tilting her head
"It could be some kind anti-gravity technology, the Ozpin of this universe did say that it was built by a highly advanced race compared to remnant and we ourselves already have such capabilities with the usage of dust." Ironwood said stroking his chin
As they came around a turn Nora looked out at the landscape "Check out these rocks."
"Forget the rocks Nora, check out that sky." Jaune said looking up showing the audience a light orange colored planet that took up most screen
"This is just full of surprises isn't it, and it's only the first reality." Said Ozpin
"Does anyone else find it ironic that we're watching a guy from another universe going into a different universe." Qrow said thinking if he got drunk enough he might start seeing himself in this universe
"It's still a track, and that's my world" Raven said before shifting gears and accelerating quickly overtaking Nora, Adam, and then Ren but as she tried to pass Jaune he tried to cut her off only to end up crashing into Adam sending them both off the track
"NO JAUNE!" Pyrrha cried out before realising she said that out loud and went as red as her hair in embarrassment
Jaunes car crashed into a boulder completely smashing the rock as Raven looked back with a wicked smile
"A wipeout like that and I hardly got dined, man these cars can really take punishment."
The screen switched and showed the lead drivers coming around a corner before adjusting towards the right showing the same loop at the beginning of the viewing then Nora passed Adam and Ren before she slowed for a moment to wave at Raven before passing her as well heading straight for the loop
"She doesn't have a clue what she's about to do, she's going to end up like one of those pancakes she likes so much." Cinder thought to herself smiling at the horrified reactions her friends would have
The on screen Nora shot over a small jump before smirking "Now that's what I call a loop"
"Go me!" Nora cheered from her seat before shoving a handful of gummy bears into her mouth
Nora shifted gears and pressed down on the accelerator. "Oh ho yeah I'm gonna make it." She said as her car began climbing up the near ninety degree surface.
"I'm gonna make it." She said again roughly a third of the way up.
"I'm" she stopped abruptly as Ballistik lost traction and started falling backwards
"not gonna make it." Just like when the viewing had started the car started to plummet as Ren and Raven made the same jump Nora had before attempting the ramp
"NO ME!" Nora said horrified as she was about to watch herself die
"Gah." Nora said watching her world spin as she reached for a lever underneath the dashboard which deployed a parachute out from the back of her car
"Oh thank Oum" Nora said looking like she was about to have a panic attack
She landed safely on the track just after Ren and Raven zoomed past where she would have landed but rather than try for the loop they both made a beeline for the ramp.
"I'm going for it" Ren said, confident that he could make it.
Raven continued right alongside Ren before coming to a realization.
"We don't have enough speed for that jump!" She yelled slamming on her brakes along with Ren both managing to stop right before going over the edge of the track and into a river of lava
"Hmm" Jaune hummed to himself studying what he just watched. "They went straight for it, but they weren't fast enough to make it across and the loop is too steep to make it all the way up without losing traction
"Very deductive, I knew there was a good reason you're my favorite." V said smiling
"Why wouldn't they have used that nitrox stuff, with it they probably would have made the jump easily." Velvet said confused
"Just the single boost from before drained them quite a bit and with it being so early in the race it would make sense to conserve it unless it was an absolute necessity." Said Ironwood, being a general forced you to always consider supply and logistics, even when it was for throwing someone a birthday party.
Nora remained stationary, angry at herself for not realizing she couldn't make the loop but she was snapped from her thoughts as a blue car shot out from behind her but she was shocked as the driver went to the loop just as she had and she tried to warn him.
"You think you can take that loop? You better think again!"
"What's the matter Nora? Didn't you ever grind a halfpipe." Jaune said undeterred
"The hell did he just say." This came from Emerald who was wondering if this Jaune guy was a total moron and just as insane as Tyrian
"Guess the guy took some plunges without a helmet." The snarky reply came from Mercury
Jaune went straight up the ramp just as Nora had but instead of making an attempt to go all the way up he pulled on the emergency brake causing his rear wheels to lock up as he spun the steering wheel around making his car do a one hundred eighty degree spin, then after disengaging the brake he accelerated towards the other side of the loop repeating the process again
"He's doing it to pick up speed!" Ren shouted as he leaned out the window of his car, realizing what Jaune was doing.
"Nobody beats Raven Branwen." Raven said as she and Ren both backed away from the edge and quickly made their way towards the loop as Jaune began to make another climb on the same side of the loop he started on as the screen showed as close up of Jaunes face as he put the pedal to the floor while his car became perpendicular to the ground below, having managed to get up quite a bit higher than Nora was able to
"You can do it Jaune." Pyrrha prayed silently clasping her hands together as she bit her lip while most of the other occupants in the room leaned in a bit as they anxiously watched barely taking a breath to see if the Jaune they were watching would make it or end up like the driver from the start of the viewing
Jaune waited until nearly the last second to press a button on his steering wheel that engaged the boosters on the underside of his car, the same backwards fall that Nora experienced working in Jaunes favor as it kept the underside of his car facing the track while the boosters shot him across to the other side causing all the other drivers to stop and watch in amazement as Jaune flew through the air with his car landing perfectly on the other side of the loop
"HE DID IT!" Jaunes friends and family cheered
"He's not out of the woods yet." Cardin said looking at the screen apprehensively
With a smile of triumph Jaune accelerated down the loop gaining every bit of speed he could while speeding towards the ramp and within a split second he was airborne again but as he began to descend he looked worried because from his perspective it didn't look like he would make it. "C'mon, c'mon" Jaune said as he got closer and closer to the other side
Nora, Pyrrha, and Ruby were chewing at their fingernails as they shared at the screen without blinking fearing that if they did the next sight would be Jaune in a river of lava
Jaunes car just barely made it across, hitting the ramp before going into the air momentarily like a skipping stone. "YES!" Jaune yelled, throwing his arms up once he was in the clear.
"Eat. My. Dust" Jaune said putting emphasis on each word as Ren and the others copied what Jaune did with each of them making it across
The occupants in the room all, at least those that knew Jaune, let out a breath they were holding.
"Dear Oum this is the beginning of the first universe and stuff like this is what we're supposed to watch without having a nervous heart attack!" Yang said slumping down in her seat
With his higher level of driving experience Ren had caught up with Jaune. "No skateboard tricks now kid, just driving." Ren shifted gears and got right up next to Jaune making sparks fly as the two cars ground against each other
"Who are you calling kid!" Jaune said before ramming his Deora 2 into the side of Rens car, Ren did the same to Jaune and they continued to trade blows even as they went through a corkscrew, Jaune attempted to drift as they came out of the corkscrew but ended up forcing himself and Ren off the track and without more than a second passing Jaune saw some of the other drivers fly past them and with a simple grunt Jaune chased after them once more followed by Ren, the difference being that they no longer held the lead positions because of Jaunes mistake.
"I thought that the Ozpin of this world wanted to recruit the best drivers in the world, not some fool who can barely keep his vehicle on the track." Adam said in a snarky voice
"Hey man it's only just starting, give the guy more credit he just got his license but he knew how to handle an obstacle like that with barely having to think about it!" Sun said in Jaunes defence, he didn't know the guy very well but Jaune was a leader just like he is so he knew that Jaune had to be capable to hold such a position
"As if humans actually think about things before doing as they please." Adam said returning his attention to the screen
The screen displayed the track spiraling down into a volcano which was spewing thick black smoke but that didn't deter the driver of a certain purple car who drove as though the smoke was nothing to her but soon she became impossible to see and the view showed Nora and Adam now side by side not very far behind
"Whoa, Adam when you've ridden motor cross through the mountains of mistral like me, this is nothing." Nora said confidently as the two entered the black haze
"WHOA! CAN'T SEE!" Nora said in full panic
"When you've driven in a sandstorm in the middle of the menagerie deserts, this is nothing."
The Adam in the theatre as well as Blake both perked up at this
"The deserts of menagerie!? Those are impossible to survive in because of the Grimm." Came from Blake
"No grimm remember." V's voice came from the speakers as there was a small moment of quiet as the screen transitioned again
For Blake and Adam no matter how different their views may be could both agree the idea of having access to their homes full region, and not just the small overcrowded city, was nothing short of incredible
A car emerged from the smoke, it had the same appearance of Ravens car but it wasn't purple with green windows, no this car had a much more menacing look to it being jetblack as the smoke from the volcano and windows red as blood
Heads turned towards Raven who just shrugged not having a single fuck to give
The window of the car rolled down and a hand holding a canister of nitrox 2 emerged pressing a white button on the canister and tossing it onto the volcanic rock before taking off just as Adam and Nora made it out from the dense smoke but as soon as they drove past the canister it exploded destroying the track and a layer of rock that had been holding back a flood of lava just as Jaune escaped the smoke as well
"I swear to Oum if Jaune gets hurt I'm going to kill you even if he's not our Jaune!" Yang screamed as her eyes flare red
"Don't tell me you actually care for him, if he dies then that means he's weak and if he's weak he deserves to die." Raven said nearly causing Yang to go mental before a bucket of water was dumped onto Yang while Qrow narrowed his eyes at his sister in contempt
Jaune looked at the lava in shock for a moment before smiling as he pressed the button to activate the boosters on the underside of his car lifting him up into the air and for Oum knew why decided to surf the wave of lava.
"Shot the curl!" He said as he landed back onto the track out of the lavas reach
"I'm finding it difficult to decide if this boy is just stupid and lucky or if he's an incredibly decisive and clever person." Arthur said intrigued by Jaunes very unusual methods to dealing with these obstacles
"Once would deem it as luck but twice is more than simple coincidence." Hazel spoke for the first time.
The next ones to face the lava were Ren and Blake, the former overtaking Blake and being the first one to see the lava which now had boulder sized chunks of volcanic rock in it
"Ozpin said this car can handle volcanos." Ren said before pushing the far right button on his console deploying his lava plow as well as the metal plating which protected his tires, Ren floored it and went straight at the lava unfettered and with his cars equipment passed through the lava as though it was nothing but water
"If he can do it I can." Blake said before plunging right into the lava
"Go Blake!" Ruby shouted
Blake was stopped almost instantly by the lava
"Losing it." Blake grunted trying to fight against the flow of the lava but was failing as her car was being pulled towards the edge and would soon fall off the cliffside
"Oh no." Ruby said quietly thinking she jinxed it
The screen showed Nora drift around a turn followed by Jaune and then Ren
"I can still win this race." Jaune said before Blake's voice came over the radio while the screens flashed red
"Can anybody hear me? I need help. If you can hear me I'm at the." Blake's voice cut out but without a moment's hesitation Ren braked and spun his around heading back towards Blake while Jaune kept going and was now neck and neck with Nora as the made a huge jump before going into a tunnel where Jaune passed Nora as Ren's voice came from the radio
"Blake this is Ren I'm coming to help you"
"Yeah Ren will help her...but...what if he can't."
The screen changed and showed Blake's car as it fell over the cliff and plummeted to the ground
"NO BLAKE!" Ruby cried out as her eyes began to flood with tears
"Right here Ruby." Blake said massaging her head from what could be one of Ruby's first outburst while they are here
"Oh right, sorry." Ruby said blushing in embarrassment forgetting her teammate was still next to her
The camera panned over and revealed Blake to be standing on one of the rocks that wasn't moving while still wearing her helmet
"Well this is an interesting problem." Blake said before the rock she was standing on shook a bit just as Ren pulled his car to the edge of the track above Blake
"Heads up Blake." Ren shouted from above as the rock Blake stood on shook more violently threatening to follow the car down the cliff but Ren fired his grappling hook and attached it to the rock before reversing to stop the rock from going over but he was pulled back towards the edge.
"It's too heavy." Just in the nick of time Jaune pulled up to the right side of Ren and fired his own hook which helped but wasn't enough to be a permanent solution
"Blake grab the grappling line, on the count of three me and Ren will let go of our lines, the boulder goes over and I'll pull you up."
"That sounds completely insane, she could get flung over the other side from the tension!" Weiss stated while thinking of every other possible flaw in this Jaunes plan
"You're crazy kid." Said Ren
"Finally someone in this world has some sense." Arthur added
"Do it Ren!" Blake said gripping the line
"It may be under the duress of a life or death situation but the Blake of this world is willingly to trust Jaunes plan." Said Jaunes sister Coral
"Oh Oum please don't die." Jaune prayed hoping with every fiber of his being that Blake didn't die, it may not actually be his plan but if Blake died then he'd have that guilt weighing down on him
"One, Two, THREE!" As Jaune spoke the final number Ren released the line while Jaune used his boosters and pulled Blake up to safety and with her faunus reflexes she managed to land on her feet slightly crouched before standing tall and walking to Rens car, glancing at him then to Jaune
"That was pretty good driving, for a kid." Ren said giving Jaune a genuine smile as a sign of respect
"You'd make a pretty good surfrat yourself." Jaune replied causing Rens smile to grow
"I don't know if I can take this." Weiss groaned, rubbing her head, nearly watching people die again and again sure took a lot out of you, that and physics didn't seem to entirely apply to this universe.
The scene changed again showing the track coming out of another volcano and the one to come out of it was Raven who had a clear look at the portal that would take her home
"There's the portal, FINISHLINE!" She said ecstatic but the excitement faded as she realized something.
"How do I" she started before to gigantic lightning dust crystals, embedded into the rock on the sides of the track right before the final jump started to glow and created a large electric current between them which Raven drove right into causing her car to be slingshotted right through the portal as she screamed in what sounded like a mix of thrill and terror as she came through the other side which appeared to be a lush forest similar to the emerald forest right next to beacon
"What happened? Did I win?" Raven questioned as she rolled down her window just in time for Adam to come through the portal and drive through a large pit of mud causing it to splash up into Raven car completely covering her as Ozpin spoke through the radio
"Welcome back, this is not the end of the world race, it is only the beginning."
Raven was pissed as she snapped her fingers
"Is that your way of telling someone off?" Vernal leaned in and whispered towards Raven, a bit confused by the gesture but she only got silence in return as Qrow could be heard chuckling
The screen revealed another cube, similar to the one in the desert but this one was situated in the middle of the forest and soon the screen showed the inside and Ozpin was once more speaking to everyone through his rotating screen
"From now on you will race as teams, as the winner of the first leg of the race, Raven Branwen will have the first choice of six new drivers for her street breed team." Ozpin said as Raven stepped forward
"Grimm or no grimm teams are always better than an individual." Ozpin spoke backing his counterparts use of a team system
"The other teams will be led by Adam Taurus, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, and Jaune Arc." As Ozpin listed the leaders each of them nodded with the exception of Jaune who shook his head disliking the thought of having a team.
"Do you have the courage to continue the world race, into a world that's totally unknown?" Ozpin asked testing the resolve of each driver
"I'm in." Ren spoke first
"Yeah, me too." Said Nora
"Do we still win five million lien?" Adam asked
Ozpin nodded "Five million, for every member of the winning team."
"How loaded is this guy!? That's thirty-five million lien in total!" Roman exploded at the thought of so much money, he spent every day as a hard working criminal mastermind and he'd never seen anything close to that.
"And the knowledge you're the fastest driver in the world." The last bit of Ozpin's speech made Jaune think again about dropping from the race as the others looked at him awaiting his answer.
"Yeah I'll lead one of your teams, if that's what it takes to win the race." Jaune said looking at the others as Ren gave him a nod before they all looked towards the screen
"Good." only for Ozpin to appear from nowhere and grab Jaunes shoulder, giving all but Raven a small scare. "Now that you've decided to continue I can really tell you what waits at the end of highway 35."
"Stepping out from the shadows and revealing your true intent only when you have a confirmation of loyalty, something I'd expect from Salem." Said Raven
The screen changed back to the volcano leg of the race and surprised a few people when Nora was at the front of three cars but the other two were unfamiliar since they weren't in the first leg, but the drivers identities were made clear as the three cars made a jump with the car farthest back hitting the ramp before bouncing into the air
"Whoa, this highway 35's insane." Said a nervous Dove
"That's why you need a practice run Dove, nobody's gonna stop the road beast from winning the world race!" Nora said with confidence as the last driver was revealed as she pulled up next to Nora
"You said it Nora." Emerald said, sounding like a bit of a kiss ass.
"Of all the people she could have had as teammates she picked that guy from CRDL and you?" Mercury asked mad that Emerald got a pretty sweet ride
"Hmph like you're a better choice skate punk." Emerald teased
"OMO I'M A LEADER!" Nora squealed in excitement
"On second thoughts nevermind." Emerald added
"Hey Dove, Emerald, the last one through the portal buys the pancakes." Nora said before pulling away from the others quickly putting distance between her and her new team as Emerald got side by side with Dove
"Hey Dove, I like my pancakes from IKOP." She said following her leader while Dove narrowed his eyes, if that was even possible.
"In your dreams." Speaking every word with intent Dove had almost instantly caught up with Emerald
The scene switched again now showing Ozpin standing in the middle of a cleared area as Penny floated towards him
"They're coming." She said stopping at his side
"I know." At those words the portal opened and Nora came out first, grinding to a halt as the side of her car nearly hit Ozpin who stepped back a bit
"YES! Better than Raven Branwen's time." Nora congratulated herself as Ozpin took a few steps towards her.
"Whoops." The real Nora said
"Oz chastising someone? I've only ever seen Goodwitch do any disciplining." Qrow said munching on a her-schnees chocolate bar
"Care to explain yourself Nora." He said sternly, glaring at her from behind his glasses
"I was just getting my team some practice." Nora said as Dove came through just ahead of Emerald
"You mean you were risking your cars on a section of highway 35 that's already been explored."
"The risk is sending new drivers into a race without practice." Nora defended
"No one enters highway 35 unless I approve, those are the rules."
"Yeah but doc, rules are meant to be broken." Nora said taking off before the dispute could go any further
"Not my rules." Ozpin said as Dove and Emerald left with Nora
"It's as though this Ozpin is a whole different person, with all the secrets and what not." Said Pyrrha
"If only you knew child." Salem muttered barely above a whisper
Many cars were shown outside the complex lined up in a circular formation, a car with the scorchers logo drove past on the screen before zooming in on Blake who was fine tuning a brand new version of the car she lost in the volcano leg
"Damn wonder if this Ozpin just has extras of all the cars?" Yang said taking a sip of soda
"With how insane that first race was I wouldn't doubt if he has extra drivers ready." Said Coco
Blake looked up above the dashboard of her car and noticed Jaune walking towards her with Mercury at his side
"Hell yeah I get to race." Mercury said glad he wasn't left to being a skater in this world
The two of them walked around to the open door of Blake's car as she got out and crossed her arms looking Mercury up and down before turning to Jaune
"I take it this is one of our new recruits."
"He put a faunus on his team?" Adam muttered wondering why a human would be so trusting of one of his kind
"Blake Belladonna, meet Mercury Black." Jaune said gesturing to his friend as Blake extended her hand to Mercury
"Wheels or waves I'm the best." Mercury said before low fiving Blake rather than shake her hand
"The humble type huh, I know this is basic math Jaune but we're still one driver short." Blake said shaking her hand to get rid of the slight sting
"Hey I just turned 16, half the people I know can't drive yet." Jaune said before slingshot suddenly shot into the background doing a multitude of quick turns and donuts
"I like this Jaunes style, his quips are almost as good as mine." Yang chuckled, she'd definitely be using some of the lines she heard later on.
"Who's the tool?" Mercury said looking at the purple car
"Raven Branwen, she won one the first leg of the world race." Blake said disgusted by the showboating
"Ravens a major chafe..but that's not her driving." Jaune said with a small smile and as though on cue Raven pushed her way past Nora and Russell, who was wearing a dune ratz suit with a black leather jacket over it.
"At this point things couldn't be more bat shit crazy, first off there's a beacon student on the same team as a terrorist, the pancake addict as a leader, and my sister racing instead of pillaging." Qrow thought sipping the last bit of alcohol from his glass
"Who's driving my car!" Raven screamed as she and the others could hear whoever was inside of slingshot cheering
"Whoever it is, he's sure having fun." Nora said plainly placing her hands on her hips as Raven stepped forward just as the car came to a halt
"Get out of my car NOW!" The driver compiled and opened the car revealing someone that nobody expected. "You?!"
"What...the...fuck." All at the same time was spoken by most of the room, even Ruby
"What the hell's in this stuff." Qrow said looking at his glass
"Hey sis nice wheels." A young, very young, Qrow said while Raven stood there dumbfounded until Jaune walked up to her
"Who is this guy?"
"My kid brother." Raven said
"My names Qrow and I'm not a kid." He said as he got out of the car
"He's a punk, like some others around here." Raven said targeting that last bit to Jaune as she got into Slingshot
"So uh Roman Torchwick told me you were uh recruiting drivers for a race." Qrow said, stepping away from the car.
"How did you get here?" Raven said settling into her seat
"Uh that's not important but uh what is important is-is I wanna be on your team." Qrow said with a bit of a stutter.
"Forget it Qrow." Raven said lowering the top of slingshot
"I'm a good driver Raven." Qrow said pleading while Raven shook her head
"My team's full." She said turning on the ignition
"All I want is a chance! Let me prove what I can do!" Qrow said in one last attempt while Raven pretended not to hear him before taking off leaving Qrow in the dust
"No matter the reality you can always find a way to push away family Raven." Qrow said as he was lowered another bottle of alcohol, but he wasn't in a fun mood
"You had some pretty nice moves in that car." Jaune said lifting Qrows spirit a bit. "And I still need one more driver for my team." This made Qrow start to smile like a child given the keys to a candy store. "Welcome to the wave rippers."
"I'm liking this kid more by the minute, he just met that version of me and is giving him an opportunity when your doppelganger wouldn't give her own family the time of day." Qrow said becoming angry drunk finally setting Raven off
"Maybe that me is the same and doesn't consider him to be family!" Raven yelled causing an awkward silence in the room. Even Vernal thought it was a bit over the top.
Back inside the building every team had nearly filled it's ranks and now Ozpin was speaking to them all from his rotating jumbotron but also from a small platform just below the screen
"The accelerons built the track we call highway 35 because they loved racing, I believe that only challenge and spirit of competition can take a driver through to the end, but why is it important to reach the end of the track?" A different image appeared on the screen resembling a hieroglyph.
"These ancient inscriptions describe a wheel of power that will be found at the end of highway 35." As Jaune was looking at Ozpin he noticed from the corner of his eye that Raven was staring him down but before he did anything Raven turned her head smuggly back towards Ozpin as he continued.
"I believe it will be the greatest source of energy the world has ever known, work with your teams and win the world race, prove you are the best drivers in the world and bring me the wheel of power." Ozpin finished raising his right arm up and clutching his hand into a fist
"A source of energy greater than dust, impossible if there were such a thing that held so much power someone would have discovered it by now." Said Weiss
"Well it should be impossible to cross dimensions by going 300 miles per hour and these guys are doing it like it's nothing, I'm saving myself the headache by abandoning my sense of logic as long as we're here." Sun crossed his arms above his head, over thinking this was gonna give him a headache..
It was dark out all the other drivers asleep as the black and red version of Ravens car rolled up to the edge of a cliff overlooking the complex the drivers were resting in, then the cars top lifted up and a feminine figure dressed in a skin tight black bodysuit with silver shoulder pads stepped out from the car wearing a black helmet with a darkened visor but some of the men in the theatre didn't notice as the suit did nothing to hide the person's "assets". The figure then looked around them before pulling out a small circular device pressing one of the buttons on it, tossing it on the ground in front of them, the device opened up and projected a hologram of a white haired woman dressed in all black, but the hologram made several people lose their breath
"I knew she couldn't be defeated, Salem is far too mighty to be defeated by a lowly human." Tyrian struggled to keep his composure as his inner fanboy started to show, he was already starting to miss the Salem shrine he had built in his room.
"Ozpin's told the new drivers about the wheel of power, we start racing again tomorrow." The figure spoke with the aid of a voice modulator making it impossible to identify
"Will it be at the end of the next track?" Salem asked
"I don't know, perhaps Ozpin doesn't even know." The figure replied
"Perhaps Zed-36 he isn't telling you all he knows."
"I know you say he can't be trusted." The figure went to say more but was stopped
"No one can be trusted with the wheel of power, that's why I'm paying you to drive in this race."
"And to spy." The figure added
"To follow orders." Salem corrected while slightly raising her voice.
"If you can't get us the wheel we'll find someone who can." And with that the holographic projection was terminated.
"And I was foolish enough this world could be at peace, will your existence stain every world Salem." Ozpin asked taking a sip of coffee
The next morning the drivers lined up in five rows each five cars long and the screen focus to show Russell driving some kind of pickup truck as well as Sky winking at Emerald from his car muscle tone and in response she gave him a disgusted look before looking ahead then it showed Ozpin sitting in a control room moving between large computers
"All drivers check safety harnesses." Automatic belts then fastened themselves across the waist of the drivers, the screen then showed Qrow sitting in Corvette stingray and Mercury in a low riding truck
"At least my rides got style." Emerald said slightly pissing off Mercury who was a bit sour because he didn't get something flashy in this reality
"Ren check your dashcam there seems to be a malfunction." Ozpin said looking at Adam, Blake, and Nora as well through the cameras but Rens was blurry so Ren's response was to punch the camera and the blur ended.
"That's got it." Ozpin said, finishing his pre-race check. "Activating starting drone." Hitting a red button from his control room the same christmas tree starting light began its countdown.
"Good luck racers." With that the green light lit up and the drivers were off again, this time Raven taking a large lead ahead of the rest but Nora managed to stay close
"Yee-HA! I never get tired of this!" Nora cheered using her nitrox overtaking Raven and the lead position, soon everyone was using nitrox the pick up speed and once the first car hit 300 miles per hour the portal opened leaving the newer drivers like Mercury and Qrow stunned as the went head first into the next leg
