"Well if I didn't save you, they'd definitely come after me as well. In fact, I'm sure they'd come after me. I get the feeling they don't like us humans all that much." Ace laughed and followed him through the barrier. 

She looked back as all the disappointed faces flew back to the stands in defeat. "Aw, too bad. They tried. I'm pretty shocked I even made it this far." The redhead laughed. "I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing."

Lavi gave a look of confusion as they soared through the skies. "What do you mean??" For the entire race, she had manage to survive with little help from him. She had to know what she was doing! No beginner was ever this good- or this casual when it was their first time hoverboarding. Even her friends were panicking and causing dismay! 

Ace drifted in a zigzag motion on purpose as she spoke. "I mean, I'm sort of winging it right now. Go with the flow and hope for the best." She grinned and continued their flight. 

That girl was truly a wonder. Lavi looked ahead and couldn't help but smirk a little. With the shortened amount of competitors, the two were catching up close to the front. If he wasn't mistaken, Ri want too far ahead. "Even though you say you've basically quit, it's now a straight shot to our destination. I think we should make it count. For the fans."

"Yeeeaaah, there's no turning back now. Might as well see through it till the end." She shrugged, stretching her hands over her head. "Man this helmet is squishing my head..." She tapped it and then took it off her head. The wind instantly swept her hair back causing her to laugh. "This is awesome!" Lavi looked a little concerned, but decided to let her be. Ace was doing fine so far, no reason to bother her now. Things were going to easy though... This was the final stretch and the racers were practically going straight through. Something wasn't right- "Lavi! Watch out!"

"Hm- Oh!" Lavi dived downward as a [url= http://images4.fanpop.com/image/quiz/571000/571086_1302260479541_300_415.jpg] large boomerang [/url] flew towards him. "That was close." He was careful to dodge it as it made a U-turn towards him again. "Thank you Ace. I might have been knocked out of the competition." 

Ace saluted. "Wouldn't want a veteran getting knocked out by a cheap shot would we?" They nodded and sped forward. The crowd continued to cheer, and when the camera zoomed in on her she waved to the fans. Ace was still holding on to the helmet as they sped through, only to look back. "Another one! Heads up!" As she warned Lavi another, the obstacles got a little more complex and harder to notice. Darts were being shot at them. It did nothing to the person, but one hit to the board and it would be sent spiraling out of control. Ace and Lavi were dodging this obstacle at the time. "This. This is getting-" The slight moment she broke concentration, her board was hit. "No! This isn't how I wanted to end..." 

Lavi prepared to go to her aid, but she stopped him. "No! Win the race! Beat Ri! I'll be fine!" She startled to spiral downward. "Man... I liked this board..." They weren't in the city anymore and the net was- well Ace wasn't sure if the net was still there, but she spotted a tree and that was good enough for her. Ace braced herself for the crash landing. "Gyah- oof!" There was a dramatic gasp from the crowd as her board fell from the tree, but she didn't. But, a small floating camera floated through the branches to see Ace draped over one of them like a blanket. She put a thumbs up and [url= https://31.media.tumblr.com/ebad0ca7fe20cc370ed38f6a5989e5ea/tumblr_inline_ncbozevw1I1s4nhb9.gif] giggled. [/url] 

[Quote=Announcer]"She's alright folks! Out of the race, but she's alright! A mere rookie and she made it this far! What an amazing race! She's put up a good fight! Now let's see how Lavi handles his loss of a partner!"[/quote]

"Well, that was fun while it lasted..."
