The Ultimate Race

Chapter 6

By Trio Maxwell

*South Pole*

Second Station

"HURRY!!" Trieze ordered the Guard. "They're catching up."

The miserable Guard was trying to stuff the ice into his mouth as fast as possible. "You could at least help." he grumbled to himself.

Heero was steadily but slooo~~wly eating his ice.

Kuwabara arrived.

"Oh! Ice! My favourite!" the three stared as Kuwabara shoved all the ice into his stomach in three gulps, and left.

Heero was seething, "Now that guy is in the lead?!" he grimly continued to eat his ice.

Dr. J took a bite.

"YEEE~~OOUUCHH!!!"

Contestant #7-- Dr. J. Pulled out of race because of *cough* toothache problems.

(We thought we saw Heero smirked, but we could not be sure.)

***

By the time Heero and Trieze (or rather, his Guard) finished their ice, everyone was ahead of them. (Except Duo)

(The others had problems with the ice too, but not as much.)

They took off racing against each other again.

***

"Victory is mine!" Kuwabara grinned as he neared the edge of South Pole.

"GOOD!! HERE, YOU'LL HAVE TO ASK THEM TO TAKE YOU OVER!!"

"Them?" his confusion was answered when bubbles appeared on the water's surface, followed by whales.

"NEXT STOP-- AMAZON RAINFOREST!!"

Kuwabara leaped on a whale. "Let's GO!"

Relena saw the whole proceedure. "What? Ride on whales?"

Nevertheless, she boarded another whale.

After a few minutes...

"I'll never catch up at this rate~~" she complained, peering anxiously at the cars/whales before her.

Her face firmed, she had reached a decision.

She leaned down and placed a kiss on top of the whale's head. "Please go faster. Please?"

"Wow! Relena is now in the lead!"

"Gah!" Kuwabara cried in surprise.

"How does it feel, using your sex appeal to get what you want, Relena?" SD Petal flew low beside Relena, holding out the microphone.

"What sex appeal! I was just..."

***

"Curent positions: Relena, Kuwabara, Pu, Heero, Trieze. Two contestants pulled out of the race... that makes seven... eh? Did I forget someone?"

*South Pole*

"Eh?" Yukina looked up when something blew past her at hyper-speed.

Second Station

Only one bowl of ice left on the table... going... gone!

"It's contestant #3-- Duo Maxwell!! Racing at top, top speed!!" (Go, Duo! ^_~)

"So cold." he thought as he swallowed the ice in ONE gulp, tears slipping out.

"Very soon, he's behind Trieze!!"

Trieze looked back. "Mou!"

"..." this time, Heero definitely did smirked.

"Every contestant had alighted in South America!! Just who will win the race?!"

*Amazon Forest*

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing. Trio was on the edge of her seat.

Trieze reached the T-junction of the route of the race. One was where Trio's arrow pointed, and the other had a "Danger. Cliff Ahead." signboard.

Trieze smiled and switched the direction where Trio's arrow pointed. "He'll be doomed." the Guard said gleefully. "Mwahahahaha!"

As they drove off, they did not notice Pu staring after them.

... to be continued.

Author's Notes: O_O Yep, Ultimate Race is finally endin--

Duo: YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ME DRIVE OFF A CLIFF?!?!?! TRIO!!!!
Petal: *to herself* Not likely.
Trio: *blinking innocently* I let Pu stayed to help you.

Screen focused on Pu.
Pu: Puu? Puu puu~~.
Duo: *hysteric* HEEEEE~~RO~~~~~!!!!!
