[Xuliang the Hedgehog]

Xuliang stands alone in the middle of the street watching the screen above her head. Eggman's face appears and she listens closely to what he has to say, "Welcome race fans! I have a special announcement to make! There will be a World Grand Prix held today for those of you who know how to use Extreme Gear! Each team must consist of three racers, and must enter with one Chaos Emerald per team! As you all know, there are no longer seven Chaos Emeralds. There are fourteen, so that means the more the marrier!"

Ooc: I will have a fan-fic some time soon explaining the fourteen emeralds.

"So, it looks like I'll have a chance at getting those emeralds back to the temple. What do you say Scorch?" asks a large jet black wolf. His fur is remarkably soft, yet the red markings on him are coarse and seem to mysteriously glow. His right eye is crystal blue, nothing more, and his left is red. He has headphone on his head, which is blaring hard rock music. His tail sways from side to side and bumps agains his Extreme Gear that he holds with his right arm.

"Your business is none of mine, but it sounds fun anyway!" Scorch, the Iguana, stands next to his furry friend Fang, Extreme Gear held to his right also. His scales are green with golden spikes down his back. His tail lays on the ground and curls a bit around his feet. "Let's get this show on the road!"

"How about it Xuliang?" Fang asks, holding out his hand. "What do you think?"

"..... Let's do this!" Xuliang smiles and flies up into the air, headed down the road. The two boys hop on their boards and follow after her at full speed. "If anyone gets in our way, we'll smoke em'! Ya!"

Ooc:If I don't respond, don't take over my chars. If I don't respond, then just race on. My characters are the best of the best. Try and keep up!

Out in Future City, Razor the Fox is watching television with her friends, Travis and Maria. Suddenly, their program is interupted and Eggman's face appears on the screen.

"Welcome race fans! I have a special announcement to make! There will be a World Grand Prix held today for those of you who know how to use Extreme Gear! Each team must consist of three racers, and must enter with one Chaos Emerald per team! As you all know, there are no longer seven Chaos Emeralds. There are fourteen, so that means the more the merrier!" Then the screen went blank.

"Hey, you think we have a chance at that?" Razor asked from her spot on the floor. "Yeah!" Travis and Maria shouted at the same time. "I haven't used Extreme Gear very much, but I'll manage!" Travis said. "Me, too. And I know where mom and dad keep a Chaos Emerald around here!" Maria piped up. "It was given to them as a wedding gift by some friend of theirs named Tails, or something." "Awesome!" Razor said. "Now let's go blow away the competition!" Travis shouted. After Maria gathered the CHaos Emerald up and they all hade their boards, the left the house and tore off for the race.

(CC and sak121212, you don't have to be on a team with me. If you don't, I have other characters I can use!)

Hey Ill stay on the team!

[Xuliang the Hedgehog]

Ooc: The story is in working progress, but you can read what there is so far if you want to. It's titled 'The World Grand Prix.' Catch ya later! *Rides off on board*

[KJ]

It was the date of the race. Razor, Maria and Travis are nervous with antici[ation. They've been training all week for this, and now they're ready. Eggman stands at the entrance to his Extreme Gear colosseum, holding a bag open for the competitors to put the Chaos Emeralds in. Maria was scared of all the large, tough competitors, so she held onto Travis's hand. Some of the competitors glanced to see the young hedgehog holding onto his hand, and they started laughing and teasing at her. Travis heard this and growled vicously at them. Taht shut them up.

(I'm gonna have to log off now.)

[angelfire]

Razor felt furious as she watched people laugh and tease Maria as she clung onto Travis's hand. She was so little! How could those people tease her like that!? Another racer and his team were laughing hyserically at the sight. Razor whipped her head around and glared at them. But they ignored her. Even angrier, Razor rolled her purple eyes and crossed her arms. Suddenly, her eyes caught a glimpse of a figure with wings and bubblegum pink fur. It was Xuliang.

Razor ran up to Travis and Maria, who were just dropping the Chaos Emerald in the bag Eggman provided. Travis felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around. "Dude, check it out!" Razor said and pointed Xuliang out in the crowd. "Dang, we haven't seen her in a while!" Travis said, amazed. "Wow, I can't believe she's here!" Maria said, then took off running torward her. "Maria no!" Travis and Razor shouted at the same time. They both ran after her and grabbed her arms, holding her back. "What's wrong?" Maria whined, squirming to get out of their grip. "She's competition now to us now." Razor explained. "Just try to steer clear of her!" Travis advised. Sad but understanding, Maria walked back with the other two back to their spot. The race was almost ready to begin.

[KJ]

After seeing Xuliang as competition, Travis then dropped the Chaos Emerald in the bag. Eggman closed the bag and stared at Travis. "I'm sorry, sir. No weapons allowed in my race! You'll have to withdraw." "Well, I hope you know laser surgery, Doc," Travis shot back, angered that Eggman was acting so high and mighty. "'Cause this isn't just some gun hidden up my sleeve. It's my arm, unless you want a one-armed racer, I suggest you BACK OFF!!!"

"My, my your cocky. It's a no holds barred, so anything goes. Just try and stay alive." Eggman walks away from Travis.

"Hey... He looks familiar..." Xuliang looks to Travis and cocks her head to her right a bit, and then she looks at Fang. He sniffs the air and then he hops on his board, slowly approaching the starting line.

"Racers, please approach the starting line!" says Omachoa. Its hot air balloon slowly hovers over the starting line. "One entrant from each team must compete! There will be a series of events following the race to see which teams will move on."

"Nice..." Scorch looks at Fang, and Fang looks at him. They then look around. "Where's Xuliang?"

"Sorry Fang, but this one's mine!" Xuliang says, waving. Fang becomes furious and begins to walk over, but she's already, in her starting position. He backs off. "You can have the next one!"

"It's all going according to plan," Eggman says under his breath. He watches from afar, his robots also at the starting line. The make up some of the teams. "Soon there will be few left."

Fang looks around, and then he walks to the seats, Scorch behind him. "I don't like this one bit... Xuliang, be careful!!"

"I will!" Xuliang smiles, and then she looks to see who dares to step up. Will it be Travis? Or maybe Maria?

[KJ]

The trio see Xuliang step up to the plate, but now they couldn't decide who should race her. "Maybe I should race her." Travis said in a confident voice, "After all, I do have the most experience!" He grined defiantly, but Razor shot back. "No you're not, you can't even do a flip the right way!" "HEY! It's not my fault I have a hunk of metal for an arm!" he yelled back, anger rising a little. Maria has never seen Razor and Travis argue like this before, in fact, they never argued at all! Maria got a little curious and asked, "Do you guys like, LIKE each other?" They stopped suddenly, and Travis started kicking at the dirt blushing a little bit.


(I don't mean to take this on some romantic path, but Maria wanted to find a way to make them stop arguing LOL)

[Xuliang the Hedgehog]

Xuliang gets on her board and sees the empty spot beside her. She sighs and waits for them to decide. Fang seems to be staring out into the distance, and he begins to grow. Xuliang picks it up with her radar like ears and looks, unable to see anything. "What's he growlin at?"

"It looks like that wolf overheard our conversation... When the race begins, bring him hear and we'll keep him quiet." Eggman grins and Fang stands up, looking at Xuliang. He leaps down and runs toward her, but she isn't paying attention, and he and Scorch are drug off. She finally looks only to think they're getting something to eat. "Make sure that hedgebat doesn't find out."

[Cutechaos]

"Travis.... we are on the same team right?" She asked. She stared at the two fighting eachother until..... "Hey look at the dumb baby!!"some guy shouted. "Hey why don't you go back to your daddy?!" another racer shouted. That last comment really hurt her badly..... let go of Travis' hand as her saphire eyes started to tear a bit.

[KJ]

Travis stopped fighting with Razor long enough to hear that last comment and Maria start to cry. On the outside, he showed no expression, but on the inside, he was enraged, so mad he could bend a hunk of diamond if he wanted to. He stormed off towards the guys who made fun of Maria and started beating the shit out of them. Maria started to hear them cry, and one of them cried for his mom. (LOL I couldn't resist this!)

[Cutechaos]

Maria turned around to 2 beaten up Racers on no shape to race. She started to wipe her sasphire now purple eyes from crying. "Thank you..." she said softly as she gave him a hug. "I miss him..." Maria whispered hoping Razor & Travis could not hear her.

Who's "him"? There's a lot of "him"'s.

[Cutechaos]

"um... nobody!" Maria lied, She hated to lie but she did'nt want to tell anyone...

(She hugged Travis, she later talked about something else...)

[KJ]

"So... how are we gonna decide who gts to race?" Razor asked when she calmed down, "How about rock-paper-scissors?" Maria asked, hoping they would agree with her idea. "Hey, good idea, let's do that." Travis agreed, " *Sigh* Fine." Razor sighed. They played several rounds, and Maria won the game. "Yeah! I get to race!"

[Cutechaos]

"Yay! I win!!" she jumps on to her board. and then she goes next to Xuliang. "hey there Xuliang!" She said smiling happily.

[KJ]

When Maria showed up in her racing position, Eggman came up to the starting line with a flare gun. "It's about time Team Future City came up with someone..." he muttered under his breath. " *Ahem!* Welcome to the World Grand Prix, everyone!" he shouted deeply. "Today, we want a clean race, no combat what-so-ever! If caught doing so, you will be disqualified from the whole competition! So make sure not to do anything tricky, you hear?" Eggman finished his speech, and then stared at a young, mischievous racer. "Ready..." Eggman began, and the racers leaned on their boards. "Get set...." Eggman backed away from the starting line, then fired a flare. "GO!!!!!"

[Cutechaos]

Maria started moving off in 300 miles of speed trying to give Razor & Travis a lead. She picked up more speed.

[KJ]

Travis and Razor were told to wait in the bleachers and watch the race. Strangely, they found two spots with a sign saying "Reserved for Travis and Razor" on it. They sat down there, and watched the race from there. They saw Maria in third place, and cheered her on.
