The roar of the crowd was huge as Adder stepped out.
Somebody was calling the names and models of each racer out, but the noise and the nerves blocked it from Adder.
She got into her speeder and ran her hands over the controls a few times.
Somebody yelled for the racers to start their speeders and Adder turned the key and flipped the switch.
Raw power flowed through her as the speeder powered up.
And then, somehow, the starter gun was fired.
Adder pushed hard on the gas pedal and pushed the steering wheel forward, making the speeder shot forward.
There were about a dozen other speeders, which Adder could sense around her, racing at different paces and place.
She knew that all she needed to do was stay in the air for as long as the race, not trying to win or anything.
Gloom’s voice crackled in her ear. “Adder, the moment Fawn’s speeder crashes, the race will be called off. Land and stay there and transform as planned. We’ll meet you outside.”
“Got it.” Adder gasped back.
Racing blind was a lot harder then Scary had made it seem. The confusion was enough to make Adder feel like she was being put in a blender.
“Ten seconds Adder! Move!”
“Why?”
“Fawn’s speeder is too close!”
Adder gasped as she heard Gloom’s words.
She cast her senses as far as she could, but it was she couldn’t tell speeder from speeder and that made it impossible in itself.
“Five seconds Adder!”
“WHICH WAY DO I MOVE?!?”
“To the right!”
Adder tried to move, but another speeder was too close, and she couldn’t risk it.
“ADDER!!!”
KABOOM!!!
The heat was almost more then Adder could bear, burning her face and body as the exploded speeder spun through the air.
She heard her name being screamed one more time, then the heat engulfed me and Adder was spinning through the air…

We were watching Adder on the screen, and giving her intrusions through our mikes.
The bomb was almost about to go off when we noticed the flaw in our plan.
Adder couldn’t tell the speeders apart, she had no way of knowing where to go.
“Five seconds Adder!” hissed Gloom into her mike.
“WHICH WAY DO I MOVE?!?” Yelled Adder.
“To the right!” Hissed Scary into his own mike.
Adder tried to move, but another speeder was too close, she didn’t have enough room to move.
“ADDER!!!” We yelled together.
Then Fawn’s engine on her speeder exploded.
KABOOM!!!
One end of it was engulfed in flames, and the Wisher was trying to keep it in control.
It swerved, almost hit one speeder and then smashed into Adder’s.
Two parts of the speeders had locked together, making it impossible to break them apart.
Scary and Gloom watched in horror as their plan backfired, bring down not only one Wisher, but two.
Adder’s speeder seemed to help keep both speeders from bursting into flames, because they didn’t once they hit the ground.
Skidding about fifty feet, they came to a stop, smoke gushing from the engine.
Scary and Gloom stood frozen, as their stared at the two speeders that held their friend.
Then they unfroze very fast.
“Move!” Yelled Scary, pushing a few people as they tried to get down to Adder as fast as possible.
They were halted at the entrance though.
“I’m sorry you two, you can’t go down there.” Said the person at the gate, whose nametag said “Glimmer LeafHeart”.
“You’ve got to let us through!” Snapped Gloom. “That’s our friend down there!”
I’m sorry, only the med cats are being aloud in at the moment.” Said Glimmer.
For a moment, Gloom looked like she was going to kill Glimmer, but Scary tugged her and arm whispered in her ear.
“This is not the time, Gloom. Let us return to base and get… supplies. We’ll meet Adder at the hospital. She’ll be better off with some medical help then none.”
Gloom thought it over, then nodded and followed Scary out.

Somehow, Adder was aware of what had happened. Maybe… I had had enough pain already, so that the burns didn’t hurt as much.
Or maybe… I was dead.
No, I wasn’t dead, there was too pain for that.
Adder felt her body being lifted, then a strange whirling, screaming noise.
Somewhere through all of it, Adder was aware of a voice.
“Don’t worry… you’ll be okay, they’re only burns…”
She can’t remember when she fell back into the darkness.

“To the right!”
Adder tried to move, but another speeder was too close, and she couldn’t risk it.
“ADDER!!!”
KABOOM!!!
The heat was almost more then Adder could bear, burning her face and body as the exploded speeder spun through the air.
