((I'm sorry I've been away for so long T_T Rough life and no time to do everything I want to do. Now that I'm on summer break, I think we can kick this story back into gear )) Riza pursed her lips and glared at Roy. "Sure you love a good pod race. I'm sure you love entering little slave boys into the race too, huh?" she asked, thankful that Ed wasn't anywhere nearby to hear her 'little' remark. "You do realize the danger he's in, don't you?? What were you thinking, Mustang?" she said, her voice calm, but her eyes blazing. ~~~ Ed glared at both racers on each side of him, closing him in between them like a sandwich. 'Dammit! These guys are so annoying!' he thought, trying to pull ahead of them so he could get out of the trap. Unfortunately they were both matching his speed and not letting up. 'Maybe if I ram one of them, then I could pull ahead...'

[The Stands] Roy tensed, the cut of Riza's accusations, finally seemed to get to him. Tilting his head in her direction he answered in a controlled, low voice, "I was thinking that it might be worth betting my life on the little shrimp." He glanced at another screen flickering with hundreds of statistics and continued, more to himself, "It might even be the first time anyone ever placed a little faith in the kid."
- - - - - - [The Latter part of the Hutt Flats] It was as if by psychic communication that the two Alleena's flanking Elric began to sandwich him in. In seconds the three pods would be trading paint and to top it all off-- --------- [The Stands] "<What a display! The human contender is being set up for a one way ticket THROUGH a rock pillar! The Dongo Bros. have united to take down an opponent once again race fans! This is a rare once in a lifetime happening!!>" Roy lost his composure and suddenly took two steps towards the screen. "Dammit Ed! Hit the Brakes! You're smarter than those two dirt Maggots!" He growled, though the cries of the crowd quickly drowned out his commands.

Riza took Roy's words into consideration and looked up at the screen, gasping in a panic. Ed was in danger. "Edward get out of there!" she screamed slamming her hands on the railing behind Roy's head.
~~~
Ed cursed loudly, seeing the rock pillar fast approaching and blocked in by these two ding heads. "Guess I have no choice..." he said and slammed on the breaks, his pod falling back as the two brothers raced ahead of him. He the accelerated again, veering his pod to the left and barely missing the piller that seemed very eager to take his life.

( Uhm... where are they? Are we going to go through the whole thing? Or just... kinda skip to VICTORY~! n.n;... ) Elric's sudden evasive action caught Dan by surprise and he instinctively twitched his Podracer to the right. A fatal mistake, Dan realised all too late. He shrieked and threw up his tiny hands as the Mark IVs impacted the collumn. Din was barely able to flip his pod onto it's right side, shielding him and his engines from the fiery explosion. One Engine managed to shoot past, its control cables whipping about as it began to tumble and ricochet across the sand.
[Stands] "<I don't believe it!! Ridiculous, I tell you! Elric's survived!! AGAIN!!>"
Roy uncharacteristically allowed himself to clench his fests and grin, uttering a silent, "Yes" that could almost be mistaken for a hiss. He closed his eyes and tried to recenter himself. 'Just a little longer Elric, You have this in the bag... and then... freedom.' He gave Riza a sidelong glance, and tried to crush the thought of ever having to apologize to her about this.

(Uhm...well, they're only on the first lap ^^; Who's still left in the race?)
Riza sighed, nearly slumping to the ground as she used the railing for support. She swore to herself that she was going to clobber Mustang good after this. Whether it was for a good cause or not, he put Ed's life on the line, and she couldn't forgive him for letting this happen. She then decided that she was done hanging around Mustang for now and muttered something to the man that she was going to check on Alphonse before finally leaving to find the younger Elric.
~~~
Ed dodged the flying debris from the pods as his own pod raced out onto the Hutt flats. Up ahead he could see the checkpoint to the second lap. He smiled although his heart was racing in his chest. He couldn't help but gulp, thinking that that last incident was going to end his life for sure.

(( Ark died, dan died. Demungo Shintula, and din are left along with two other racers... who I am going to make up and not kill... maybe. n.n;; )) [The stands] "<Here they come and... THERE THEY GO! It's Lap two and Demungo leads the pack! But the human boy is still hot on his trail...!>" That was all Demungo caught of the announcer's cries as he blazed on by. With a defiant look in his eye, the Glymphid pressed his pod on faster, boosting out once again towards the winding canyon. His fingers gripped the control arms as he rounded the turns, suction cups pressed flat against the handles. Through the headset, though the lenses were ever so slightly tinged to guard against the sun, his beady red eyes shone with his anticipation of victory. No human would rob him of the victory that was so rightfully his! Especially not that damned Elric Bantha Fodder....
------
[Back at the stands... again.] Roy raised his arms to shield himself from the racers' wake, the powerful winds causing his cape to whip about violently.
Higher up Alphonse couldn't help but leap to his feet once again. "GO ED!" He crowed, "YOU SHOW'EM!" Without thinking he left his place to search for Riza. She'd already missed the first lap that was strange. . . unless... His keen eyes scanned the staggered seats, making his way closer to the track.

Ed thrusted the gears forward, pressing his pod faster to catch up with Demungo. He slightly glanced at the stands, seeing the blur of black hair from that bastard, Mustang. He wondered where his brother was in the stands, but shook his head. Now's not the time to think about that. He furrowed his eyebrows, looking up at the leaders. 'What kind of traps are they planning?' he wondered as he pulled closer to the other racers as they entered the bendy curves.
~~~
Riza moved closer to her seat when she noticed a certain dark blond boy missing from the seat next to her. "Where did that boy go?" she wondered and looked around, catching a glimpse of him heading toward the track. She then shrugged and sighed. "I just came from there..." she muttered.

The fleet of pods tore through the second lap with the same ferocity as the first. The once proud swarm of fifteen had fallen to ten in but a single lap. The roar of the engines and the rage of the racers hardly seemed to falter, instead it grew in intensity and fury.
Demungo was making plans to get rid of the the Human. Taking a page from history he recalled an all too conveniently placed service ramp in beggar's canyon. With an evil glint in his eye he eased up ever so slightly on the accelerators, sliding to the left to create an opening to his right...

Edward saw Demungo move to the left and slow down a bit. Either that or he was moving faster to catch up with the alien. Ed pulled up along side the leader, glaring at him from the corner of his goggles. He wondered why the Glymphid was giving him room to pass until he realized it. There was not much room to pass as they entered into Begger's Canyon. Ed cursed to himself out loud as another racer came up on his rear, making it impossible to slow down and let Demungo take the lead again.
