Let's see... Contracts completed, train gone... Finished the papers, got my stuff, bike's tuned up... Yeah, I'm ready.

Hey, everyone. I'm waiting in front of the college entrance. Bring your D-Wheels or motorcycles. Let's race.

*True to his word, Jin is waiting at the entrance, with a new motorcycle, already turned on. He's looking

*Juudai turns up on his D-Wheel. He stops it beside Jin and takes off his helmet*

Yo! Jin!

[shield_wing]

Hey! Juudai, I'd hoped you would make it.

[i_like_red]

Haha! I haven't gotten to talk to in a while so I thought why not! Sounds like this could be fun too!

[shield_wing]

Yeah, some things came up...

Think the docks are far enough away to be a good finish line?

[i_like_red]

That sounds good to me!

[shield_wing]

Then, the Machine Mirrorer and I will take you on.

*Pats his bike, then maneuvers it to the road to take a starting position.*

[i_like_red]

Machine Mirrorer, huh?

*Juudai smiles and puts his helmet back on, and follows Jin to also take a starting position*

[shield_wing]

Yeah. A good bike needs a good name, doesn't it?

[i_like_red]

Haha! I've never really thought of giving mine a name.

[shield_wing]

Hey, no bike without a name is going to beat the Mirrorer. Are you taking this seriously?

*He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a card.*

[i_like_red]

Of course I'm taking this seriously! I just...never thought of naming it, that's all!

[shield_wing]

Better think quickly. The race starts as soon as the card touches the ground.

*He tosses it straight up.*

[i_like_red]

W-whaa!!
Er...It's...name is... is...
... Machine Elementer!!

[shield_wing]

*... He just starts laughing.*

How like you.

*And then the card touches down. Jin shoots off.*

[i_like_red]

*And Juudai sets off too!*

[shield_wing]

*And then Jin says something quietly, but enough for those little helmet-radios to pick it up and let Juudai hear it.*

You'd better not regret this.

*He jumps his bike, landing on a car. The poor car has the obvious reaction, but Jin uses this as a ramp to leap up onto an overhang of a nearby building, drive along that for a moment, then jump onto the roof the next building.*
