At the Team Loud Phoenix Storm estate we were watching TV and reading books. We were watching Nature Documentaries.
Me: It's so cool that Gorillas can do all sorts of interesting things.
Lana: Boy you said it J.D.
The doorbell rang.
Me: I'll get that.
I went to the door and answered it and it was Bobbie Fletcher.
Bobbie Fletcher: Hey there J.D.
Me: Hey Bobbie.
Bobbie Fletcher: I have news. There's another race going on and you're going to love where it's at.
Me: Where is it at Bobbie?
Bobbie Fletcher: It's on the planet Mars.
Me: The planet Mars? Awesome! A race through the Martian Landscape will be an awesome and educational experience.
Bobbie Fletcher: Yep. It's a race around the planet like with Venus. And there's a special surprise for the race winner.
Me: Oh you know we'll be there Bobbie.
Bobbie Fletcher: Looking forward to it. See you all on Mars.
Me: Will do.
I went to tell everyone.
Lana: So the next race is on Mars!? Awesome!
Lisa: The planet Mars is an interesting and very exhilarating place of interest in all fields of science.
Me: I know. They say that it used to be much like Earth when the Solar System was still forming.
Bai Tza: I remember that we had to transfer Eustace to the Mars prison after the Queen of the Black Puddle got him out of his first prison.
Lana: I remember that. Eustace is a nasty bitter old crow.
Francesca: Grandpa Eustace may be nasty and bitter, but he's still family.
Courage: Mm-hmm. I agree with you Francesca.
Me: I remember that. But this is gonna be interesting. Mars used to be in every way like Earth millions of years ago and now we have a chance to see the whole planet when we race around the planet.
Muscle Man: You know who else likes to participate in races? My mom!
We laughed.
Me: Muscle Man, you always crack us up. But this is gonna be interesting for us.
Qin: Can I participate in the race too?
Me: Sure Qin. Anyone can join. We won all kinds of awesome races that took place all over the solar system. The first one we did was called the Gotham Royal York 500.
Qin: I saw that one on TV. That was so cool!
Nico: I'll never forget that one. That was an awesome race!
Me: It sure was. Next we raced around Grimsvotn Volcano in Iceland. Lori won that one.
Lori: I sure did. It was the first ever race I literally won.
Laney: Yep it sure was.
Lola: Next was the Offroad Mud Race around the city. I didn't participate in that one.
Laney: I remember that one. Next we had a huge race around the entire Solar System.
Qin: Wow! I remember that one! That was so cool how you guys raced around the planets like that.
Me: Yep we had to slingshot around the sun and go by each of the planets.
Qin: Wow! I saw the race in a cave in Asia and in London.
Me: I'll never forget those races. Next was a race through the Mariana Trench.
Qin: Wow! That is a deep place.
Me: 36,201 feet deep and with pitch black darkness and 16,000 pounds of water pressure at every corner we had to watch ourselves.
Lana: But it sure was an awesome race!
Me: It sure was. Next we raced on the planet Venus and that one was a dangerous one. We had to race through a completely inhospitable world. 900˚ Fahrenheit temperatures, scorching hot landscapes, sulfuric acid rain, dangerous conditions.
Qin: Wow! That is so cool!
Me: It was. Next was a race around Italy.
Nico: I remember that one. That was a dangerous one.
Me: It was. Then our most recent race that we were in was the Global Superrace.
Qin: I remember that one! That was so cool how you raced around the world!
Me: It was a 40,000 mile long race over an 8 hour period.
Nico: But in each race we always beat Dick Dastardly.
Me: We sure do.
Wes: Why haven't you thrown Dastardly in jail again?
Maria: Because he's good comedy relief.
Me: Yep. So what do you think Qin, you want to race?
Qin: Do I ever!? I will gladly join!
Me: Awesome! Carter, do any of you or the Red Power Rangers want to join us?
Carter Grayson: I'll join.
Wes Collins: Same here.
Andros: Count me in.
Aurico: (Alien Voice) I'll join as well.
Conner McKnight: I'll join too.
Leo Corbett: Same here.
Cole Evans: I'll join too.
Me: Awesome! It's race time guys!
We cheered wildly!
Me: Lets head to the garage and get to the racers!
We did so.
Horsea: Maria, can I ride with you in your race car?
Maria: Sure Horsea.
In the garage, Stacy Bolton was working on her car. She was covered in transmission fluid and filth.
Stacy: Whew! (Sees us) Oh hey guys.
Me: It's race time Stacy. We're going to the planet Mars for the next race.
Stacy: Mars!? That's gonna be so cool!
Nico: It sure is.
Maria: Stacy, when you were stuck as Shredgirl, did you drive any vehicles?
Stacy: I sure did. I drove a motorcycle and a monster truck.
Me: Cool! That's cool!
Lana: It sure is.
We got to work on our new racers.
Qin had an awesome new racer and her car looked like a Dodge Viper that was olive green and it had the scales of a Komodo Dragon on it and the headlights were the eyes of a Komodo Dragon. It was equipped with all kinds of weapons and features that would make all evil racers cringe in fear. It had the number 812 on the side and it said Qin's Komodo Dragon Venomcruiser.
Stacy's car was a pink Ferrari California car with a shark tail on the back, a shark fin on the top, shark teeth in the front on the grill, and it had an awesome super long chainsaw blade that pops out of the front and it's equipped with all kinds of weapons. It had the number 273 on the side and Stacy Bolton's Sawshark Shredder.
Leo Corbett's car was a red fire car that looked like an Aston Martin Vantage and it had fire colors and the red Galactabeast on the side. It had the number 918 on the side and Leo Corbett's Fiery Galactic Lion Roadburner.
Cole Evans car looked like a Toyota Camry and it was red and it had a lion on it. The number 761 was on the side and it had the name Cole Evans Blazing Lion Wildcar.
Aurico's roadster looked like a submarine and it was filled with water so he could race in a water environment. It had the number 555 on it and it said Aurico's Aquitar Tsunami Surfer.
Andros's car looked like a miniature version of the Red Omega Zord and it had the number 288 on it and it said Andros's Stellar Rocket Speeder.
Carter Grayson had an exact duplicate of his Red Pyro Rescue Zord as his racer. It had the number 1 on it and it said Carter Grayson's Fiery Rescue Racer.
Connor McKnight's racer was a Monster Truck with a Tyrannosaurus Head, tail and claws on it and it was red and it had all kinds of awesome weapons. It had the number 734 on it and it said Connor McKnight's Tyranno Gravedigger.
Wes Collins's racer looked like a bullet car. (Superman's Bulleteers Car.) It was red and it had the number 3,000 on it and it said Wes Collins Bullet Through Time.
Muscle Man had his own racer. It was his trailer that he turned into an awesome monster truck.
With that we were ready for another awesome race. Our new transport for racing was now the Lightspeed Rescue Supertrain and it was in a new supercarrier form. It had cars two and three on the sides and number 1 was on the front and cars 6, 7 and 8 were used as wings for flight in space and Max Solarzord was on top.
Carter Grayson: Wow! J.D. you sure know how to build awesome zords.
Me: We watched you guys on TV for years and you tend to learn new things TV doesn't show.
Wes Collins: That is awesome!
Kelsey Winslow: It sure is.
Nico: Mars here we come.
Me: Setting course for Mars.
We were off to the planet Mars.
We were flying in space and it was so cool using the Lightspeed Rescue Zords for space travel.
Laney: Wow! Look at all the stars. There's so many of them.
Me: There's over 100 billion stars in our galaxy Laney. They float up there like diamonds in the sky.
Lola: Wow! It's so awesome!
Lisa: Indeed it is.
Me: Here we are guys. We have arrived.
We arrived at the planet Mars. The 4th Planet from the sun and sitting in our Solar System like an old rusty nail. Covered with red dust full of iron and a major scientific enigma. We landed in Chasma Boreale and it was at the edge of the North Pole of Mars. We unloaded our racers and we got ready for the most amazing race in the Solar System.
Me: This is gonna be so awesome!
Nico: It sure is J.D. I'm just as excited as everyone else.
In Paris, France back on Earth, Marinette, Alya, Alix, Nathanial, Juleka, Chloe, Sabrina, Adrien, Kim, Nino, Mylene, Rose, and Ivan were all in Marinette's place watching the race. Marinette smiled, knowing that for once, Lila wasn't there to manipulate her friends and ruin everything.
Marinette: So, who do you think's going to win the race?
Alya: My money is on J.D. How about we bet to see who wins?
Adrien: I'll bet on J.D. He's gonna help me and my family get back together.
Chloe: Same here.
Juleka: My money is on J.D.
Rose: The Red Power Rangers.
Nino: I'll bet on J.D.
Sabrina: This is gonna be so cool! But my money is on J.D.
Ivan: Same for J.D.
Kim: J.D. is gonna win. I am sure of it.
Mylene: Me too.
Alex: I am rooting for him.
Marinette: Adrien, are you upset that your father is Hawk Moth?
Adrien: I was at first. But I now realize that he's just trying to bring mom back. But I know that J.D. can help me and my family.
Alya: But you know that your dad is gonna have to go to jail after J.D. defeats him right?
Adrien: I know. But I love my dad.
Marinette: I'm gonna call J.D. real quick.
Back on Mars I was getting ready when my phone rang.
Bai Tza saw it and she got it.
Bai Tza: Hey boss, you have a phone call. It's from Paris.
Me: Wonder who's calling from there.
I answered.
Me: Bonjour?
Marinette: Hey J.D. it's Marinette and it's an honor to talk to you.
Me: Hello Marinette. It's a pleasure to talk to you too. Nico told me so much about you.
Marinette: I know. He tells me so much about you every day about you and all your adventures.
Me: I know. He told me so much about you and how you stop Hawk Moth and his Akumatized villains. I know you're thinking that I am going to kill Hawk Moth. But Nico assured me that I would never do that after what we found out about him. I know Hawk Moth is trying to bring back Adrien's family and I think it's good that he's trying to do that because no family should ever be without a mom.
Marinette: I agree with you J.D. Thank you. Adrien will be so happy that he'll have his mom back.
Me: I will be too. And he also cares about Adrien deeply as a loving father. But Marinette you have to be careful around Lila. She has the same insanity that Azula had before Lily and me cured her.
Marienette: I will be careful. Nico gave us a powerful force field generator that prevents Lila from finding us and see what we do.
Me: Good thinking for him. I'm glad he's looking out for you all.
Marinette: I know. But good luck in the race on Mars today. We're all rooting for you all.
Me: Thanks Marinette. Don't let Lila know that we're on to her. We're gonna put her in the Saturn Insane Asylum when we help you out.
Marinette: Okay. Thank you J.D. Have fun in the race.
Me: Will do. Thank you. Bye.
We hung up.
We were ready.
Dick Dastardly appeared and he was ready.
Wildrider: Long time no see, Dastardly!
Dick Dastardly: Wildrider. You are gonna eat my dust.
Me: Like in the other 726 races you failed. Cheaters never prosper.
Dick Dastardly: We'll see about that.
Billy Natson then appeared.
Billy Natson: And welcome to another awesome race and another awesome day for us. Hello I'm Billy Natson and we have an awesome treat for you all today. We are going to be racing around the entirety of the planet Mars and with us we have the world famous Team Loud Phoenix Storm and their awesome racers. Wow! You ready to race J.D.?
Me: You know I am Billy! Lets Burn Rubber Baby!
Horsea (looks at the cameras): Hi, everybody!
Billy Natson: You're all ready to race. Love that racing spirit guys. During the race there's a special contest. We have a briefcase hidden out there in the Martian landscape somewhere and it is full of $10 Novemdecillion in a huge check and if you find it in any part of the race route, it's gonna be yours.
Me: Wow! That's a lot of money!
Nico: Whoa!
A Novemdecillion is 10^60. That's 1 with 60 zeroes.
Lori: That is literally a lot of money!
Lana: No kidding!
Billy Natson: It sure is a lot. And you can give it to anyone or keep it.
Me: Nice!
Billy Natson: Are you all ready?
We cheered.
Krista came out with the green flag ready.
Me: Here we go.
Krista: Racers on your marks!
We were ready.
Krista: Get set...
We were revving our cars up.
Krista: Rev up and GOOOOOO!
We gunned it and we were off!
Billy Natson: AND THEY'RE OFF!
We were racing through Vastitas Borealis and it was a flat landscape.
Laney: Wow! It's so dry and deserted here.
Me: Mars is an endless desert. Its been like this for billions of years.
We passed by Milankovič Crater.
Milankovič is a crater in the Diacria quadrangle of Mars, having a diameter of 118.4 km. It is located at 54.7° north latitude and 146.7° west longitude. The crater is easy to see on Mars photographs because it lies north of Olympus Mons and sits by itself in the flat plain of Vastitas Borealis. It is named after Milutin Milanković (1879–1958), a Serbian geophysicist and astrophysicist.
Next we drove into Utopia Planitia and we saw the sight where the Viking Spacecrafts landed back in the 1970's.
Me: This is the very sight where the Viking Spacecrafts landed back in the 1970's.
Nico: I remember reading about that in history class. That was so cool.
Lana: That is really cool!
Lola: Viking is one of my favorite Space Missions.
Lisa: Indeed it is Lola. The Viking Satellites landed on Mars back on July 20th, 1976 and it took photographs of the surface of Mars.
Me: That's right.
Viking 1 was the first of two spacecraft (along with Viking 2) sent to Mars as part of NASA's Viking program.[2] On July 20, 1976, it became the second spacecraft to soft-land on Mars, and the first to successfully perform its mission. (The first spacecraft to soft-land on Mars was the Soviet Union's Mars 3 on December 2, 1971, which stopped transmitting after 14.5 seconds.) Viking 1 held the record for the longest Mars surface mission of 2307 days (over 6 1⁄4 years) or 2245 Martian solar days, until that record was broken by Opportunity on May 19, 2010.
We saw the Viking Lander still here on Mars.
Me: And there it is 43 years later.
Nico: That's the Viking Lander all right. I can't believe that it's still here even after 43 Earth years have passed.
Lori: I know. How long is the orbit of Mars?
Me: 687 Earth Days or 1.88 years.
Lily: So just short of two years.
Lisa: That is exactly right.
We were then driving through Arabia Terra and it was a vast cratered terrain area on Mars. We drove on and we came across the largest volcano on Mars and the tallest mountain in the whole Solar System. It was OLYMPUS MONS!
Olympus Mons ( /əˌlɪmpəs ˈmɒnz, oʊ-, -ˈmɒns/; Latin for Mount Olympus) is a very large shield volcano on the planet Mars. The volcano has a height of nearly 22 km (13.6 mi or 72,000 ft) as measured by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). Olympus Mons is about two and a half times Mount Everest's height above sea level. It is the largest volcano, the tallest planetary mountain, and the second tallest mountain currently discovered in the Solar System, comparable to Rheasilvia on Vesta. In terms of surface area, Olympus Mons is the second-largest volcano in the solar system, second only to Earth's Tamu Massif. Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars, having formed during Mars's Hesperian Period. It had been known to astronomers since the late 19th century as the albedo feature Nix Olympica (Latin for "Olympic Snow"). Its mountainous nature was suspected well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain.
The volcano is located in Mars's western hemisphere at approximately 18.65°N 226.2°E, just off the northwestern edge of the Tharsis bulge. The western portion of the volcano lies in the Amazonis quadrangle (MC-8) and the central and eastern portions in the adjoining Tharsis quadrangle (MC-9).
Two impact craters on Olympus Mons have been assigned provisional names by the International Astronomical Union. They are the 15.6 km (9.7 mi)-diameter Karzok crater (18°25′N 131°55′W) and the 10.4 km (6.5 mi)-diameter Pangboche crater (17°10′N 133°35′W). The craters are notable for being two of several suspected source areas for shergottites, the most abundant class of Martian meteorites.
Me: Wow! There it is guys! Olympus Mons.
Nico: Unbelievable! So that's Olympus Mons.
Lori: Look how huge it is!
Nicole: Olympus Mons is over 72,000 feet high and it has a base as big as the whole country of France.
Lisa: Olympus Mons covers an area of 120,000 square miles and its area at the base would cover most of France.
Marinette and her friends were watching us slingshot around Olympus Mons at blazing speed.
Marinette: Wow! Olympus Mons is huge!
Adrien: I never knew it was that big.
Alya: Amazing!
Juleka: This is the coolest part of the planet Mars that we've ever seen.
Alya: They're about to head into that canyon.
We weren't heading into any old canyon. We were heading into the longest and deepest canyon in the whole Solar System: The Valles Marineris
Valles Marineris (Latin for Mariner Valleys, named after the Mariner 9 Mars orbiter of 1971–72 which discovered it) is a system of canyons that runs along the Martian surface east of the Tharsis region. At more than 4,000 km (2,500 mi) long, 200 km (120 mi) wide and up to 7 km (23,000 ft) deep, Valles Marineris is one of the largest canyons of the Solar System, surpassed in length only by the rift valleys of Earth.
Valles Marineris is located along the equator of Mars, on the east side of the Tharsis Bulge, and stretches for nearly a quarter of the planet's circumference. The canyon system starts in the west with Noctis Labyrinthus; proceeding to the east are Tithonium and Ius chasmata, then Melas, Candor and Ophir chasmata, then Coprates Chasma, then Ganges, Capri and Eos chasmata; finally it empties into an outflow channel region containing chaotic terrain that ends in the basin of Chryse Planitia.
It has been recently suggested that Valles Marineris is a large tectonic "crack" in the Martian crust. Most researchers agree that this formed as the crust thickened in the Tharsis region to the west, and was subsequently widened by erosion.[citation needed] Near the eastern flanks of the rift, there appear to be channels that may have been formed by water or carbon dioxide. It has also been proposed that Valles Marineris is a large channel formed by the erosion of lava flowing from the flank of Pavonis Mons.
Nico: Wow! This canyon is huge!
Me: This is the Valles Marineris canyon. It's the longest and deepest canyon in the Solar System. It's 2,500 miles long and 23,000 feet deep and it would cover an area of 2 thirds of the continental United States.
Everyone: WOW!
Luna: Dude, that is so amazing!
Luan: It sure is Gorge-ous! (Laughs to Rimshot) Get it?
Me: (Laughs) That was a good one Luan!
Nico: That was funny.
Lana: This canyon is so cool!
Lola: If Mars was like Earth, would this whole place be filled with water?
Me: It would Lola. This whole place was filled with water millions of years ago.
Lily: Wow.
Then I saw something shining up ahead buried in the red dust. It was the briefcase containing the money!
Me: It's the Briefcase with the money inside!
Dick Dastardly: That money is mine!
Me: I don't think so Dastardly!
I accelerated.
Muscle Man: You know who else likes ramming cheaters off of race tracks? My... Mom! (rams Dastardly's car)
Dick Dastardly crashed into the canyon wall.
CRASH!
Dick Dastardly: DRAT! DRAT! DRAT AND TRIPLE DRAT!
Nico: Dick Dastardly you have failed this race!
I pressed a button and out came a robot grabber. I grabbed the briefcase with it and it pulled it in. Out of a compartment was the Briefcase and it was covered in Red Dust.
Me: I'll have to wash that off when we get back.
We were driving on and we were driving through Hellas Planitia and we saw huge Dust Devils.
Lori: Wow! Those dust devils are literally huge!
Me: Mars has the biggest dust devils in the whole Solar System. They can grow up to 5 miles tall.
Lori: Wow! That is huge!
Me: They are much bigger than the tornadoes on Earth and they are just as powerful as a Category 1 hurricane.
Lily: That's incredible!
Nico: It sure is.
Me: And also Mars has the most violent dust storms of any planet in the Solar System. Look.
Up ahead we saw a massive swirling dust storm and it was powerful. It looked like a powerful wall of red dust blowing at incredible speed.
Nico: Wow! That is a powerful dust storm.
Lori: It sure looks powerful!
Me: It is. One time here back in 2018 there was a massive global dust storm that covered one fourth of the whole planet and it brought our exploration of the planet to a halt.
Lincoln: I remember reading about that!
Lucy Loud: That was terrifying. But I can never understand that stuff.
We saw up ahead and we were looking at the Mars South Pole and in front of it was the Finish Line.
Nico: There's the finish line!
Me: Lets go!
We put the pedal to the metal and gunned for it!
We were really racing hard and we were really going for it. It was going to be a deadly fight!
Billy Natson: And here comes the first racer to cross the finish line! It's J.D. KNUDSON!
Everyone on Earth and everyone watching the race cheered wildly!
Lincoln and Nico came in 2nd and Lori and Carter Grayson came in 3rd.
We went to the winners circle and I was given an awesome red Swarovski Crystal Trophy in the shape of the planet Mars with a car racing around it and it was a beautiful trophy.
Lincoln: Way to go J.D.!
Me: Thanks buddy. This was so awesome racing around Mars.
Nico: It sure was! Way to go on winning the Mars Race.
Me: Thanks man. I can't wait to see where the next race will be.
We went back to Earth and we celebrated by going to Wing Kingdom. It was great race and an awesome fun time.
Mordecai: Congratulations on winning that race J.D.
Me: Thanks Mordecai. It was so awesome seeing all of the planet Mars and learning about what was there.
Rigby: I can tell. But congratulations dude.
Mordecai: How did it feel being in an awesome race like that Muscle Man?
Muscle Man: It was really cool! I loved every second of it!
Nico: We all did.
Me: Yep. And we're not in it for the fame and fortune. We're in it for the fun.
Lana: Yep. It's awesome.
Me: And besides, it was so cool taking our cars inside the Lightspeed Rescue Supertrain Megazord modified by us.
Nico: It sure was.
Carter Grayson: But it was so awesome racing in our first race.
Me: First times for everything Carter. (To the viewers) And remember folks, if you love watching racing on TV, be sure to watch for your favorite race car driver to win. It's not about winning, it's about fun.
Laney: You said it J.D.
Me: Yep.
Qin: It was so awesome being in my first race. I can't wait to see what the next race will hold.
Me: It's gonna be fun wherever it will be.
We had a great dinner. I decided to give the money I got during the race to Marinette and her friends to have them move to America after we defeat Hawk Moth.
THE END
Another Fanfiction Complete and another Awesome Race in the books.
A Race Around the planet Mars appeared out of the blue for me and I thought it would be so cool to go around the planet Mars. For decades we've explored around Mars with satellites and unmanned ships. It's so cool at what we saw there. NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this one. Thanks man. And nbwatts, this story is for you dude. Let me know what you all think. Next up is a chapter for the Goosebumps book Revenge of The Lawn Gnomes and we're going to smash some lawn gnomes that give all gnomes everywhere a really bad name!
See you all next time.
