This was what Sonic had been waiting for ever since he got here. It had been way too long since he'd raced just for fun and he was really looking forward to this one. Hopefully this Larxene person would be as fast as she'd promised.

Although Lara'd told him that she was also a pretty bad egg. He wasn't going to back down - no way, no how - but he'd keep an eye on her in case she pulled anything funny.

It took him until he reached the gate - a gate - what gate was it anyways? - to realize that not only did he not know which gate was the Niflheim gate, but he also had no idea what this Larxene person looked like. Her picture wasn't on the journals - it always showed up as a big heart or something. Oops.

Well, he'd just wing it. That always worked, right?

He blew past the gate guard, glancing around. There - someone was out of the line, leaning against the dome, looking bored. That had to be it. He'd gotten pretty lucky for a first try.

He skidded to a stop beside her. "You must be Larxene. Ready to run?" He sure was.

Well, there was certainly no missing Sonic--mutant hedgehogs were rare beasts, even in a place as peculiar as Paixao. She smiled at him with her usual sugary cheer.

"I am, and I've been ready~," she purred. "How does once around the domes sound? It'll be a nice, quick race."

One that she wasn't prepared to lose. If she couldn't outrun him she could certainly throw in a bit of teleportation. After all, that was one of her talents, and what was a race if all of ones talent wasn't put into the attempt to win?

Well all right! So far Sonic was two for two, and he intended to make it three for three real soon. "Sounds great!" he grinned, moving a little ways away from the domes - there was no point in running through the lines of people, after all - and getting ready. This was gonna be awesome. "Ready when you are!"

She smiled and took her place beside Sonic. She would play fair for now--if only to see what he was capable of. And Larxene knew she was fast. So maybe cheating wouldn't be required at all.

"Oka~y, ready, set, go!"

And she took off running.

Soon as he saw what direction Larxene was going, Sonic bolted after her, easily catching up and keeping stride. She was fast, he'd give her that, but he knew he could go much faster and he was betting she could too. He figured he'd just match pace with her for now and really start putting on speed once they hit the next gate.

Larxene wasn't going top speed, true, but she could tell she was using more energy than he was already, and she didn't like it. She couldn't stand to lose to this thing. As they passed the next gate she picked up speed with an audible crackle as she added lightning to increase her speed even more.

And there was the next gate...already. Man, this race was going to be way too short if they were only going around once. Why hadn't he suggested multiple laps?

Oh well, Sonic decided, he'd make the best of it. No harm in a little showing off in the meantime. He veered off towards the gate, easily running up the side of the dome and over the gate in a neat arc before coming back towards Larxene, never missing a step. It wasn't as good as the loop-the-loops he was used to, but it'd work.

That was when he heard the crackle and veered sharply away from Larxene, leaving a good two feet between them. "Man, warn a guy when ya do that!" he called to her. He couldn't help but grin a bit despite the obvious danger - she'd stepped it up, and it was time for him to do the same. He began to pull ahead of her, not enough to leave a large gap but enough so she could see he was in the lead.

Larxene's eyes narrowed as she saw him pull out ahead of her. The mutant hedgehog really was fast. But she wasn't in the mood to lose, and if teleportation was in her bag of tricks, well, why not use it?

She disappeared from sight, only to reappear a split second later beside Sonic, and then again a bit ahead of him.

And then she kept going, half running, half warping past the second gate.

itshowiroll September 3 2008, 03:23:46 UTC

Sonic could only stare as Larxene pulled ahead of him - how did she do that? And what was that weird noise? It'd only just started happening, and-

Wait. She wasn't cheating, was she? Oh, lame.

Whether she was cheating or not, Sonic wasn't about to lose. He poured on the speed, catching up with her as they rounded the second gate and bothering with fancy tricks this time. Once again he pulled ahead of her, figuring he'd keep a close eye on her to see how she kept getting in front of him. If she was cheating...well, they'd just see.

Larxene was alive with electricity, humming as she moved, and she tossed out a pointless crackle of electricity as she slipped through another portal. She didn't want to make her tactics too obvious, after all, but Paixao was only so wide, and this race wouldn't take much longer.

Maybe she should have asked for two or three laps.
