"This is a money thing, right?" Xane asked. "Why else would you be so happy to work for people whose methods aren't always...in the best interest of the citizens they're supposed to protect."
"It's not cool," Xane frowned. " 'Cause he wants us o do the U.P.A's dirty work."
"Guess we should head there now," Xane said, starting to walk outside.
"So, where do we head to?" Xane asked.
"I guess we could do that," Xane grunted.
"We fought those guys because they were either threatening the world they were occupying or trying to kill us," Xane explained. "I haven't even killed many enemy soldiers, so I'm the wrong guy for the job. Nulix or Xardius, maybe.
OOC: Let him go?
"Take him out? Xane asked. "That's not really what we do. We aren't assassins." EDIT: OOC: Gotta go.
Xane narrowed his eyes and glanced at Nulix and back at Lexx. "What exactly do you want us to do?" he asked.
"What?" Xane groaned. "I'm hungry! I'm pretty sure whatever you're about to ask, I won't like."
OOC: I was hoping that the U.P.A would question him... BIC: "Lexx is right," Xane yawned, "I'm pretty tired. I think I'll head to the lunch buffet to see if they have anything left, first."
Mellodia was about to reply, before realizing who she was talking to. The normally cam Lexx was frustrated. This didn't bode well. Nodding, Mellodia walked off. *** Xane kicked Nulix to get him up off of the ground. "Get up. We won," Xane said. "Since Xardius ran off, the reporters are probably going to interview you."
OOC: I was actually hoping you'd rescue him. Well, I was actually expecting the U.P.A to... At least now, I don't have to pm you to do so.
Xane ran to the finish line to congratulate his friends. Other racers who had abandoned their vehicles also ran to congratulate their fellow drivers on a good race. Well, almost all of the other drivers. The Brotherhood driver was slowly being dragged into the black sand... *** Mellodia wandered up the stands to where Lexx was sitting. "Lexx..Uh, Sir! The authorities still haven't figured out who it was that released the black sand..." she whispered.
Fortunately for Nulix, Pharell's vehicle conveniently caught a flame. Probably since his left door had been leading over, scraping the road since his encounter with the black sand.
Various drivers attempted to assist assisted Nulix when the black sand attempted to grab him, excluding the Brotherhood driver, who whizzed on ahead, launching a group of scattered missiles at the oter racers. Venture Jr, Xane, and the reappearing Pharell Titan all sped up to the black sand and charged their vehicles into it, releasing Nulix. Venture's vehicle was sent flying, though he managed to escape it. Xane's vehicle became damaged beyond repair. Pharell escaped, relatively unharmed. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood member's cruel smirk faded when he turned around to see the black sand latching on to his vehicle. Soon only Nulix and Pharell remained in the lead.
The Brotherhood driver smiled in his seat. He retreated back behind the other gummi, and began the process of trying to bump them into the giant hand. Pharell Titan was nowhere to be found...
OOC: Just make it simething rather important to the U.P.A plot... BIC: The next obstacle was about to appear...
Leaping above the other drivers with his boosters was Pharell Titan. He had sprung back up from fifth place and was now driving vigorously. "I'd be wary if I were you all," he said, speaking through the comm-link. "Our newest obstacle is about to activate." "Obstacle?" Xane muttered to himself. "There's another one?"
OOC: How is it my fault that you read it wrong? BIC: Xane sped his vehicle up trying to take the lead. The Brotherhood pilot had taken to trying to bump Nulix off of the canyon walls. The U.P.A's big surprise obstacle was supposedly coming up. Xane wondered what it would be...
