A challenger? This was certainly a nice break from all of the boredom that finals and mountains of homework had in store for him. At the very least, it would be one hell of a story to tell Orihime and Nia later on...as if he didn't already have enough.

It took him no time to get to the appointed meeting place, recklessly speeding through the streets as usual with the fire of adrenaline running through his body. He didn't know how good tis guy would be, or what to expect but he was at least hoping that whoever it was would offer some good sport.

Upon arriving, Kamina's bike screeched to a halt not to far from where the masked challenger waited. He really couldn't recognize this guy from school or from anyone he had raced before, but that didn't matter much. He came here to race, not play guessing games after all.

"So you're that guy eh? Dunno who the hell you are but you're gonna have one hell of a hard time beetin' Kamina of the Great Gurren Brigade!"

The Masked Rider was silent, afraid that saying anything would let Kamina figure out who he was too soon. Instead, he pointed to the traffic lights and settled into a riding position. The light was red straight ahead and green on the crossroad. After a moment it changed to amber, then red.

The moment the other light changed from red to green he was off, not checking to see if Kamina had gotten the message.

The road eventually led to another set of traffic lights some distance away - the obvious end of the race. For now though, the first part of the road was straight, and the Masked Rider used it to build up some speed.

((OOC: Feel free to make up whatever turns and features you want. It's not a particularly tough run, especially for someone as experienced as Kamina, but it's not too boring either.))

"Heh, straight to the point eh?" Kamina smirked while quickly slipping his helmet on. It didn't take much to figure out what was going to happen next, so he spin his back tire to get his bike into a ready position.

As soon as the light turned green, it was on. Gurren's engine roared as it speed through the intersection to start the race. Of course he was off to a good start since his bike was pretty well tuned, leaning into the first curve with ease while maintaining a decent momentum.

The Masked Rider had a bit more trouble with the first curve than Kamina and fell slightly behind. There were no cars in sight, so he tried to regain the advantage by crossing to the opposite lane and taking the next curve on the shorter edge before moving back into the right-hand lane.

He felt a thrill in doing something so clearly illegal and wondered if a certain influence was responsible. He pushed the thought out of his mind; he needed to focus on the race.

As far as Kamina could tell, this guy wasn't so bad, and it looked like the night might turn out interesting after all! Though this race was far from over and he had no intention of letting some unknown get the better of him.

Coming out of the turn, he increased his speed to tighten the gap on the upcoming straight away, making it a battle of all out performance between the two vehicles at that point.

It was looking more and more like Kamina's bike had the advantage in pure speed and power. He had to try and make up the difference somehow.

Next was a hill, and the Masked Rider quickly fell farther behind. He sped up as he reached the top, adding the power of his engine to his momentum coming down. It'd be hard to maintain control at this speed, but he hoped it would be enough to get a good lead on Kamina.

IT'S NOT OVER YET crimsonignition July 3 2010, 07:44:43 UTC

Yeah, this guy had some guts alright. Kamina could tell the specs on his bike weren't exactly up to his own, but he was still giving it everything he had, and he wasn't about to hold back out of pity or anything. He had a reputation to keep after all!

Though what he wasn't expecting was that car coming up in his lane.

That was the last thing he needed, to be laid up in the hospital for god knows how long and having to endure that horrible food again, oh hell no. So his instincts kicked in as the car honked at him, causing both him and the oncoming vehicle to swerve to avoid each other. It was enough to cause him to slow down considerably, but it wouldn't take too long for him to recover.

...Who're you again? dig2heaven July 3 2010, 09:33:53 UTC

The Masked Rider hadn't expected to see a car either, and spared a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure Kamina was still in one piece. He didn't know what he'd do if he were somehow responsible for Kamina getting hurt. He felt himself begin to drift and had to look forward again before he went off the road.

He caught a glimpse of traffic lights in the distance - the finish line at the end of a straight. There was still some road between him and that straight though, and he needed to gain every inch he could now if he hoped to even tie Kamina.
