"Yeesh. This is a long tournament..." Ace had a short attention span. After having so much fun, she was getting a little tired of the game. Though, that all changed when she heard the Announcer change their course. "Going through the city? That sounds fun."

"Oh that's new. We've never gone out so far before. Things shall get very interesting quite soon." He glanced downward seeing all the people crawling off the net to get patched up, or go sit in the stands. "Looks like we'll both be learning in this lap of the tournament. I hope Ri doesn't get into too much trouble." He blinked and noticed the attack coming straight for them. "Oh dear, Ace catch!"

She looked over, noticing the blue beam and caught Lavi's hat. "Ah! .... Hey your hat froze." She held it up, only to toss it when he gestured it away. "Thanks! You saved my butt." Lavi was about to tip his hat, but it was no longer on his head. He sighed, but nodded and smiled. "Don't worry, we'll knock that one off her board. Then she'll owe you a new hat!" He smirked a little and followed as she lead the way into the city. 

"Oh, Ace? Dear, the Announcer said to collect keys. And it's a little dangerous to be hoverboarding through the streets." Lavi looked around already having to fly lower to avoid being hit by the sudden cars. He stayed near Ace, planning to help when she needed it, which was more than once when she flew to low and nearly ran into a tree, or too high and got hit by a car. 

"That's not our plan Lavi!" He escorted the confusing redhead to the pit stop. "Come on, come on...Let's go!" 

"You must tell me this plan!" Lavi stepped on his board, following after her. She was surely a ball of energy. Surprisingly enough, she slowed down when she realized she was too far ahead. "You know, we're passing the appropriate places for keys?" He was truly confused at this point. 

"No, no Lavi. We're going to steal them! It's much faster, and so much easier. You on the other hand would probably do fine." Ace coasted against the breeze but the paused for a moment. This was around the time Ri passed as well. Ace puffed up, wanting something to through at the girl. Man she was annoying. Ace was about to speed toward her until Lavi found a key in range. "Good job Lavi!" She watched as he went on distracting the two that raced towards the key. Ace grinned and grabbed the key. Lavi paused his tale and waved a goodbye to them before following Ace. "Here, you hold onto the key." She handed them to Lavi, and he nodded, putting them in his inside jacket pocket. Ace only grinned deviously and the two continued flying to the next part of the race. 

"Actually... that'll be too easy. And I'm kind of bored now.... Hey, Lavi you go through the mazes all you like, but...I never cared about winning anyway." She laughed. "I just want the board." 

A shocked expression overcame the gentleman. Once again the fiery redhead had surprised him. After all that hard work she was just going to bow out? The shock turned into a small smile. "You're quite impressive Ace. I am truly honored to have witnessed it."

"No big deal really. Just cruising along and causing trouble- though not as much as the duo. Anyway, you go on. You still have a chance to win you know. I can always steal keys for you if you want. Pickpocketing is a piece of cake for me." She laughed a bit and waited for his decision. 

"I'm nowhere near as competitive as Ri.... And it's such a nice day. I think I'll cruise along with you. Heh, besides, I won last year. She'd hate to know that I let her win. But I'll hang on to the key we have. And if it works, then it works." Ace chuckled and nodded. The two went straight towards the mazes being quite casual. 

[Quote=Announcer]"What's this? Is one of our champions planning a new strategy with the redhead!? It appears they're slowing down! But the redhead newcomer nabbed a key and handed it Lavi! Well folks, we'll just have to wait and see!" [/quote]

"There's a couple of naughty competitors coming up. Hopefully they don't try to do anything foolish." 

"Ah we can take them. I don't mind knocking a few off there- heh, well what do you know. A mystery box before I go to the maze." She grabbed it and watched the icons spun.

He had left Toby some time ago and gotten ahead. His fans continued to cheer him on and he flashed a smile to the camera. Of course it caused the fan girls to squeal in delight, some still next to Japhet. He had snagged a key tucked off on a billboard and was easily making his way to the front. 

[Quote=Announcer]"Jay has found a key! That's another key! Who will take the last ones?! Things are getting quite intense with the competitors! " [/quote]

"W-Whoa!" He narrowly dodged the sudden pie that hurled towards him. Instead, it two of the guys following after Ace and Lavi. "Watch it there." He laughed and nodded to both Lavi and Ace. He then grinned. "Nice seeing you again redhead. You and your friends are causing a lot of trouble. But, I'll catch you guys later!" 

Ace merely watched the guy go and shrugged. "Come Lavi, we still have to get through the maze." He nodded and the two continued their now casual journey to the maze.
