Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xack might have quite a shirt attention span, but his reactions are quick. He quickly reached the controls, and pushed a lever like object to his left. Grinning, he smirked, "And people wonder why the Lance Stag needs a lance and a shield on each shoulder..."

Suddenly, Lance went faster and with the extra speed, made a cave through the landslide with his lance. It was like knife through butter, over a a few seconds. The shield helped with pushing away the small rocks and as they left the landside, Xack could hear the cave in.

Xack might be a laid back person, but he did his homework before choosing his zoid. It did cost him quite some money, and he wasn't about to let anyone scratch the his new zoid.

"Let's catch up with the others, kay?" He said with a grin as he played with the controls. Nobody gets away with trying to scratch his zoid.

The Gun Sniper growled in its throat, aware that the Command Wolf was closing and that the Jager and Lance Stag were not far behind it. But where was that other Gun Sniper? Another thrust of the ion boosters had the young Zoid breaking into an all-out sprint, but it was too light to go any faster than its 200 km/h limit. So close...

Abdiel felt more than a little anxiousness pooling in his stomach as the Jager reappeared right behind Zy. The G forces were pushing him back into the seat, but it put none of the stress on his body that a larger Zoid's top speed would. He could focus. This was the critical time, and Blaze could appear out of anywhere. Not to mention that the Jager could easily catch up and tear his Gun Sniper a new one.

Trying not to seem too impressed with the Lance Stag's performance, Abdiel kept his eye on the finish. This race wasn't over yet.

(( Aww.. It's alright! Take what time ya need.. You have enough stress as is. Thanks for posing for us, though. <3 ))


Kyrea hit the communication link buttom, nodding her affirmative and allowing a visual for a short, two-fingered salute. "Got it. You an' Blaze take care 'til we see you again." There was a hint of concern in that expression of hers, though. What would take Nicky out of their game? She waved a hand in front of her face after her visual screen had vanished, dismissive in gesture. "I'll find out later, Jager. It's time to go double-time. ....Understand?" She smirked, reaching above her head to flick a flat switch forward on the cockpit roof, and another backwards. A red warning light flickered on, and began to flash in an annoying pattern. On, off, on, off, on.... well, you get the picture.

The screens all faded, and merged before the Republican pilot, the cockpit having gone into a deep red shade. A visor lowered, and the girl placed it on her face, words racing past in green and yellow lights. "80% of top speed, thirty seconds. Taking top ridge pass, overlapping leader, avoiding Blaze's last fire." She spoke into a mic, pressing her two handles forwards with a rush of power. The boosters on Jager's back lifted, glowing deeply white and suddenly with a burst of blue fire, they were off with incredible speed. He leapt past the Command Wolf, brushing frighteningly close to the Wolf's side to possibly press him off-course in passing with the sheer force his speed exerted around his frame.

Kyrea would wait for the Lance to catch up. No need going backwards and losing the other two to the finish line. This was a race against time, this is what Ky lived for! Danger, speed, excitement. Life didn't get much better than this. There was incredible g-force pressing Kyrea back, but somehow she was able to lean forwards, so used to this now that it was simply part of her system to partake in great speeds.

"Pick it up, Zyali, or that Gun Sniper will leave you in the dust." Ky said over the com-link, responding and taunting all at the same time. That dust she was talking about came from little else than her own Jager's hind metallic claws as she struck the side of the cliff, nearly running at a ninty degree angle to the actual path. Was that possible? It was brief, but it sure -looked- possible.

Her task was to stop everybody, get them piled nearer, if not ontop of, eachother, and have them battle it out from a dead stop to get to the finish. Jager reached Abdiel about the time the smoke of the last shot fired billowed and began to clear. Would he be surprised that once the smoke screen cleared, a Zero Jager Mirage would be staring his Gun Sniper nearly in the face? Indeed, she swung around to get infront of him, catching up and overtaking with longer bursts of her boosters than she had shown off before. Both golden blades were extended now, glimmering faintly in the dusty view.

She said nothing over the com-link either, but it appeared she was simply now using herself and Jager to block the way.

Xack ginned, and took in the excitment. He was a newbie at this, only receiving his zoid this week. Playing with the controls, he increased Lance's speed and connected to the speakers of the other pilots, "Excuse me! Lance Stag coming through!"

Lance gave a loud and low gumbling sound. His war cry echoed through the air, and with it's antlers down, the Lance stag charged forward towards the others madly. Secretly, Lance did really want to stab through any zoid, and hope that Xack won't get overexcited. Metal-zi can be pretty deadly.

Xack felt some invisible force pushing down on him, and although it was really uncomfortable, he realised that it is something he needs to get used to. Grinning, he pitied any zoid that is foolish enough to get in Lance's way.

Zy frowned, amused and apparently unimpressed by Ky's taunting. Responding with a grin, his voice sounded quite oblivious to what was suppose to make him angry, instead responding with a cheerful response. "Pick it up? Oh, that's funny, I never knew I was down. Apparently you haven't been paying too close attension." Veering away from the close force that had been caused by the Jager, the Command Wolf raced after her, watching the demonstration with the avalanche with a calculating eye. It was interesting, to be sure, but somehow Zy couldn't bring himself to even pretend to be impressed by the Jager. Oh, he had tried. And in all honesty, to an extent he was. It was a beautiful Zoid, and Ky piloted it beautifully. What he didn't like was the pilot's attitude. And that really ground on his nerves. But then again, he supposed it was possible the Senior Pilots were just cocky because they were higher ranked. He'd have to try and ignore that.

The black-haired pilot's eyes focused intensely on the two opponents up ahead, Zy was a little surprised to hear another, rather careless sounding voice flicker over the intercom. Zy blinked, looking only a little confused and very much skeptical as the Lance Stag approached, quirking an eyebrow. "Hey, uh... Lance Stag pilot, you may not want to do that. The object is to race, not battle. Ramming us wouldn't help your position." Chuckling, he shook his head, focusing back on the GunSniper and the Jager.

Ooc: Not to make a fuss, but don't you think that's a bit... unfair? Now, I know everyone is pissed at me because apparently I'm annoying like that, but I don't think that's reasonable. My sincerest and utmost apologies to you, but I do feel you can't just say you passed us. *shrugs* If I'm alone in this, please, don't hesitate to yell at me. I don't care, I just want to make sure I'm not just being uptight.

{Well, since you've put it that way...
I've checked the speeds of the zoids in the journal, and I think Lance Stag has the speed to catch up. I'll check again in case I've made a mistake... I'm sorry.

Edit: Lance Stag has the fast speed currently, but if I go too far, please stop me and let me know.
It's not like Xack's a professional or something. xD;}
