#### WAKI RACES ####

The fields were filled by the large, booming engines of all the vicious machines ready to go.

"OK!" Misato roared over the revs into her microphone.

"Heres the rules!"
"The race is from Kagoshima to Wakkani! There are many checkpoints across the way in cities including Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya and Kobe, These and the rest of the checkpoints are marked in all the maps that were given to you just a minute ago. You all will be asinged co-drivers to read these maps for you while driving!"
"To win, your ENTIRE team must get across the finish line. Not till the last member is across, does your placing be set! Once all the team and the vehicles rear tires are across the finish line thats it! The prize is, as you all know, is the EIRTAKU PRESIDENCY! And your pick of the anime babes-*" *HONK HOOOONK*
"or Boshinen....Bosjinhin...Pretty boys!" Misato called over in Alanna's direction. "Its quite surprising! The fact that I speak fluent japanese but can't speak a word of it!"
Kaji hands Misato some papers.
Misato once again booms "All the members have chosen their teams!". She then tears up the papers. "But that would be no fun ^_^ ! Nope! TNT has given all the members their teams already! We'll just be a minute sorting them out!"

"GET ON WITH IT!" Aidan shouted out the window of his black DMC van (With custom red strip and spoiler). "Women!" he snorted. "Watch it buddy!" Alanna called over over the roar of her Lamborgini Countachs engine.
The lamborgini was yellow and covered with names like a professional race car. But actually, they were all of her 69 different nicknames. "We all know women make better drivers!"

"Hey TNT!" Kage called!
"What?"
"Where doth thine Dodge lie?"
"Ahh...It wouldn't fit on the narrow Japanese country roads..."
TNT had been forced to ditch his trademark jetblack Dodge Charger. But he had found a suitable replacement.
A Pontiac Firebird, with its original paint. Blue with 2 white stripes from hood to bonnet.
"I think it'll do!" TNT grinned, giving it's V8 another tickle to show that, while it was smaller, it was no less speedy, if not more so. "What about the Nekode?" TNT asked.
"*sigh* Its fusion engine were forbidden by mans rules. Only internal combustion engines allowed to echo through the valleys!" Kage patted his new, off-white policebike and sidecar. It was a kinda futuristic and angular deign.
"But this, and my AMAZING skills will get me there!" Kage finished. His ego over-riding his poetry.
"As long as theres no digletts on the road..." TNT smirked while saying this private joke.
"Yeah...You'd really love to win those Bosjinhon wouldn't ya!" Kage returned. "FOR THE LAST TIME I'M NOT GAY!!"
...Yeah yeah...Who do you think your fooling..."

"BWA HA HA HA HA HA! The fools! My presidency is safe! Modern is the way to go!" Simon snorted over his cars V10.
The Dodge Viper.
One of the fastest cars on the road.
It was white with 2 blood red stripes down the middle. A trademark of most muscle cars.
A nippy little 52' Shelby Cobra (The original! Not the Mustang varient used in GUNSMITH CATS) pulled up beside him, screehing to a halt. It was all sky-blue. "Oh I wouldn't be so sure..." Rory smirked.

"Ok racers!!!" Misato boomed again. "Here are your teams!". She pointed to 5 booths which had there entrences covered by satin cloth.
"First up! In alphabetical order! AIDANS Team! Team A!"
"The A-Team...?" Aidan whispered. "Wha hoo!
"Misato continued. "INTRODUCING...JESSE AND ASUKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The 2 red haired divas strolled out of the booth already argueing.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was Aidans general response.

"Now! TEAM B!" Misato called out, ignoring the argument that was going on. "Let us in!" Jesse screamed! "Not on the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" Aidan protested, while holding the door shut. "GOTTERDAMNURUNG!" Asuka screamed

"Anyway..." Misato tried to regain her momentum. "Alanna is TEAM B" "Team Dragon!" Alanna roared obsessively "HERE ARE YOUR TEAM MATES! SHINJI AND ATARU!!" "what" Alanna stated flatly. Ataru came bounding out and glomped onto her. "Come on baby! Lets forget the race and just make out!" Alanna did her best Xena impresion and beat the crap out of the lech. Shinji walked out nevously "A-are you s-s-sure about this. It's...um...it could be dangerous?" Shinji whined to Misato. "Look! You could learn something from that guy!" Misato said aside to him, pointing to boy under Alannas foot. "Erm...ok..." he angsted.

"TEAM C! Kage's Team!" "Team Sakura!" Kage squeled. "INTRODUCING THE 3 CERELEAN SISTERS!!!! THE DITZY ONE! THE DITZY ONE! AND THE DITZY ONE!!!!" Kage facefaulted, taking the bike with him. "Oh dark fates! Who doth burden mine journey with these posionous water lillys?". His answer came as he heard TNT banging on his dash board in uncontrolable laughter. "Oh torturous hell hound. You shall heed my wrath and be smited!" Kage growled. The sisters ran over to Kage. "Is this, like, the guy Misty talks about?" "Like whatever! What about my hair?" "Like I'M going to ,like, wear a helmet! Like, whatever!"

"TEAM D belongs to Rory!" "TEAM TNT-doesn't-know-me-well-enough-to-write-me-in-properly-and-apologises-for-any-offences!" Rory cheered. "RYOGA AND MOUSSE will be reading your maps!!" "Thank goddess!" Rory gasped. "Now I'll have some-one to read the maps! I keep getting lost!"

"TEAM E is Simons!" "TEAM RALLY" Simon called out, sweating slightly. "HERE ARE...ASH AND REI!!!" "What?!! Why?! When??!!!"" Simon cried. Actually cried! With tears aand everything!. "Wha hay! Wha hoo! Lets go! Im going to become THE GREATEST MAP READER OF ALL TIME!" "Map reading is pointless...We are all lost the cosmic eternity..." I'll let you guess who said what.

"TEAM F belongs to TNT!" "THE TNT FLYERS!" TNT roared. TNT rub his hands with glee. Misato called out "GARYS CHEERLEADERS!" "Wait Misato!" Kaji chirped into his microphone. "Expecting something like this...Kage already got a team for TNT! INTRODUCING...TRACY AND GENDO!!!!!" TNT's forehead flopped heavily into the steering wheel. "Wow! Look at all these rare cars! I must sketch them" Tracy gasped. "Fools...They don't suspect a thing!" They know nothing!" Gendo muttered. "Soon...Early on in the journey...I shall switch on the device for my own good alone!". He fingered his SPICE GIRLS cassate tape in his pocket! "Then I shall listen to all my favourite hits!" he giggled.

Once everyone had finally gotten all the teams into their cars Misato walked out in front of them. She raised a checkered flag. *BANG* She brought it down signalling the start of the race. All the vehicles barlled past her throwing up leaves and dust.

Misato strolled back to the main commentating box. "Hey Kaji! Where'd you get a starter pistol?" Kaji was busy lying in a pool of his own blood with a bullet hole in his back. "Who keeps _doing_ that?!!"
