Star Rain POV
That was amazing, I didn't know you could race marathons like that. I watched the race just now and it was like a lesson on how to do this race. Honestly, I wasn't expecting this today as my dad and his friends wanted to do one last hurrah of the sport they love. I loved running like any Uma Musume, but I just didn't understand this league. Relays were okay but repetitive, regular Flats are just regular races you could see anywhere, Marathons were boring, and Obstacle races were violent.
None of it was my cup of tea, my mom, siblings, and I only came to say goodbye to the other families one last time. Then the first race began and Agent Ruby dancing around her opponents got everyone's attention. Vice Captain Cobalt then ran so fast she broke the world record, fucking badass, as my older cousins would say. Then Agent Amber ran like a cyborg with perfect form and speed the whole way. Followed by Agent Crimson running so fast she broke the relay world record.
She even cried cause there was no one who could compete with them. Like dang crimson maybe in the next one. Yes, the next one cause I'm hooked and they have shown me the light, and I will watch this team forever. Next was the marathon and I thought it was going to be boring, but then Agent Ivory came and changed how I saw this race. Marathons went from boring to the battleground of Stayers and she is its king.
Her speech spread that statement far and wide, making the race even more competitive in the future with what I'm seeing. This race will never be the same after this. The next race finally came and it was the obstacle race, and worse it was on unforgiving dirt. BB's next racer can and every other racer was already eyeing her. It's what happens when you completely dominate the last two races.
I got a look at her and she looked absolutely beautiful. I was in awe even wearing the mask I could tell she was gorgeous underneath. I looked at the screen and saw her name was Agent Viridian. One of the racers came up to her and I was immediately scared for her. I looked at my dad's friend Sarah and asked her," Auntie Sarah I'm scared for her are they going to hurt her before the race even starts?"
Auntie Sarah spoke saying," No Star they're just intimidating her and talking trash. People might forget but there are actually 20 official rules to this race. Some were there at the start some added later on. Here read them, they hand these pamphlets out at the entrance at each tournament." She handed me a pamphlet and soon I read it.
It read, 'Obstacle Race Rules' 1. No killing or anything that leads to death. 2. No lethal gases, injections, or attacks. 3. No firearms or any kind of lethal explosives. 4. No devices or any kind of technology. 5. No Illegal Enhancements.
It continued saying, 6. Once someone is unconscious, out of bounds, or has surrendered the race they are out and cannot be harmed or mess with the race. 7. No on purpose crippling or permanently injuring. 8. No radioactive chemicals or products. 9. If one is in critical danger the staff can pull you out of the race. 10. Direct communication with teammates outside the race is not allowed.
I kept reading as it read, 11. If one can't cross the finish line at a certain time the race will end and one will be disqualified. 12. Voluntary nudity and showing of private will lead to immediate disqualification. 13. Unexpected malfunctions of any kind will be ignored and the player can voluntarily leave the race to fix. 14. If one goes insane and starts breaking rules they can be disqualified by officials. 15. One cannot invite others or have others bring items in from outside the race for them. This will lead to disqualification.
These were pretty harsh I kept reading as it says, 16. No one from outside the race is allowed to enter and sabotage or assist someone else. 17. No outside race assistance of any kind. 18. No breaking in, to assault anyone. 19. No stopping others from entering the race in any way. 20. No handing things to anyone in the field.
I put down the pamphlet and I handed it back to Auntie Sarah and she said," There are also unspoken rules and morals to stop the sane ones. Now let's watch I think she might surprise us." I nodded and looked at the field. I saw her say something to the others making them all back away from her. Soon all of them got into the racing gates.
Soon the race began, and immediately everyone got their weapons out except Agent Viridian who just ran. Then the violence began it looked like Mario Kart with the karts replaced with high-speed gang fighting. They all ran as I saw every one of them aim for Viridian. Then something amazing happened, she not only danced around everyone, but she also flexibly countered, parried, and evaded every weapon and strike while running. Soon the obstacles came and as the other runners dealt with each other and the obstacles she free ran on them with ease.
She even used the obstacles to block and obstruct her opponents. It was all absolutely beautiful. She ran with the freedom I've never seen in my life. Her technique is ever-changing and flexible. Her ways are not constricted to one style, it was amazing, like a bee flying between flowers, she was flying through this race.
Soon she finished this race as beautifully as she started it. I then heard my friend Snow Cloud say," Wow, I wish I could run like that one day." Me too Snow, me too. I nodded agreeing with her. She posed and everyone was in awe at how beautiful she was.
Throughout that whole race, she was unstoppable. Now she stood as the interviewers came. They gave her water and a towel, and she drank that water looking fine. Once everyone finally got to the end the interview began. The interviewer spoke saying," Ms. Viridian that was amazing can you give us a comment about it?"
Instead of talking Viridian humphed, smirked, and went close to the female interviewer. She then wiped the water off her lips with her index finger and put that index finger on the interviewer's lips in a shushing motion. Everyone was speechless, but soon the interviewer went red, had steam explode out of her, and passed out. Everyone then began screaming kyaaa, including me. She then blew a kiss to the camera and walked away without saying a word.
That caused many people to pass out in the audience. Everyone was completely charmed by her. She soon left smirking making everyone want her and every young Uma Musume wants to be her. I look at Snow and then Viridian. Snow was right I also wish I could run like her.
Arthur Crownly POV:
I had just watched the first two races and both had opened my eyes in different ways. The first race was the relay and when I first created the race, this world had never seen anything like it. I created it to honor my team who had helped me throughout these years. All helping me destroy and dismantle the Gold Family Mafia. I wanted a race where you had to have 4 runners running one lap each to win.
This represented teamwork, responsibility, and dependability. Those 4 working in tandem to break the world record to pieces showed me the core values I put into that race are still there. Next was the marathon a long race I created inspired by military training of running long distances with different terrains. One of my staff thought of the idea as she used to be in the military herself. She thought it would be great to make it into a race.
She was also a history nerd and named it after a historical event with the same circumstances. Now after introducing it, we could only call the race a mess. Teams had trouble running and strategizing around it as well as many other problems. We fixed a lot of the issues over time and still people complain about it. We even tried to ask the military how they would run this.
Still, they couldn't answer cause they ran this distance to train not compete in it. It was hopeless and we thought we'd have to remove one of the races that differentiated us from the NRL. Then Ivory happened, and she raced gloriously. She ran showing the truth of this race it was built for pacing, endurance, technique, and discipline. She managed her pace and timing perfectly and endured the race by proper breathing and form.
She then spoke and now the marathon became a boring race to the battleground of stayers. According to my assistant looking at the reactions online. Ivory even crowned herself as the king and the ruler of her kingdom. My assistant even told me that everyone wants to kick her off her throne and is now taking this race seriously. What a miracle.
Soon that ended and the Obstacle race finally arrived. My most violent creation, with me creating it to balance with the flat races. Both races represented my life. Flat's representing my peaceful childhood, and Obstacle represents my life after being shot off that cliff. We did have to add more rules after multiple incidents, but at least it's a bit safer now.
I then watch as the racer from the Bloody Broncos arrived, and damn honey I love you, but damn. I then felt my assistant glare at me as she sensed what I was thinking. She then spoke saying," Sir I know she's hot, but this is very inappropriate." "Ha so you admit she's hot," I responded immediately. She then turned red and responded stuttering," I...I know she's hot cause there is no denying that, sir."
She turned away as I began laughing out loud. The race soon began, and immediately they tried to corner and attack Agent Viridian. That's when she flexibly avoided every strike and attack. Everyone was speechless before cheering. The commentators were going insane as she ran.
They described every move and action. Craziest thing she was technically late surging the whole time. They tried to surround her, but she got out easily and began messing with anyone who got close. Either charming them or toying with them. Soon she confused everyone to the point that she got the others to attack people for her. The next great part is the free running parkour she was doing to deal with the terrain and object obstacles.
The audience began wooing and were in awe of each move of her parkour. She looked like a gymnast, dancer, and ninja all at once moving through people and obstacles. She also knew how they'd move, and how to manipulate them into her tactics. Soon she was at the front not by choice but by result. It was seriously amazing how she made this violent race into a thing of beauty.
Others try to stop her by taking her down, but she just spins around knocking one to the ground with a spin kick, and elbows the last one knocking her back. She soon stops as she lands and walks to the finish line. Everyone was speechless once again. Until they exploded, cheering her name, I knew I was one of them. My goodness, she was a star.
Now it was her turn to speak. The other two were interesting to say the least, the first one drove players to become greater and the second changed the game. That's when I saw her interview, she did not speak, she acted. She introduced herself without saying a word and kept all the mystery. We saw her and she left all of us wanting to know more.
Damn, she was one hell of a woman. She left and the next race was about to be set up. It was an obstacle/flat mixed relay race on dirt. We made the first half obstacle rules and terrain and the second half all about pure speed. I introduced these mixed races to not only fuck with gambling halls made by the Gold Family Mafia, but also bring more variety and intrigue into the league. People have been arguing for years about who was the best in each race.
Now it's mixed together so you can watch racers who would have never raced against one another face off in the same races. That's when my assistant's phone began ringing. She answered it while in disguise and soon her tone became serious. She went to a private area to talk and soon the phone call ended. She came to me and whispered in my ear," Sir the appointment with the president of Dark Wear Fashion and the Bloody Broncos team has been set."
I nodded and asked," I know the time we scheduled, but what time did you both decide?" She answered," Tonight at 8:00 PM." I nodded saying," Perfect." She then stepped away as we continued watching the tournament. This was the last race before the requested concert after all.
Another Newbie Player POV
Today was insane as I watched all of our teams get decimated two races in a row by the same team. Still now it was time for my favorite race, the obstacle race. Where anything outside the twenty rules is allowed. I'm excited to crack some skulls and I know who I'm aiming for. Now Bloody Broncos can send anyone and I'll gladly make the live up to their name.
I arrived at the starting line and I saw her and I froze. She was absolutely beautiful and I'm not the only one who thought so as I looked around. Sadly, I have to break apart such a beautiful thing. We soon got close to her as someone says to her," Oh how pretty I can't wait to make you ugly." Another one followed up by saying," Being beautiful is only an advantage in the entertainment industry not racing."
I then finished it by saying," The previous race is the last race your team is winning." She then giggled at me before smirking and looking directly at me replying," How adorable." She soon walked out of our encirclement with ease. Before any of us could say anything the call to get into the gates began. We all got in as she was assigned the farthest gate from so I probably won't get my lick in.
The gun fired and the gates opened immediately. Soon everyone came to Viridian, but she exploded out so fast she burst out the gate and through the people coming for her. She even danced around the people behind them. She was immediately in the lead, but she wasn't rushing as fast as she could for some reason. Everyone soon took out their weapons and began chasing after her.
While chasing many fast runners caught up, she dodged all the strikes and weapons coming at her. Someone yelled," Get her all at once she can't counter all of us and we can trap her." They did so thinking they could capture her, but she just ran towards a stone obstacle. Then as everyone was confident they would catch her she did the unthinkable and ran on the slanted boulder and ran upwards like it was a ramp. She was soon airborne and did some flips becoming impossible to hit from a distance.
She soon began free running over the obstacles as we all desperately chased her. Some again tried a different strategy in passing her doing blocking strategies or outrunning her as she was slowed down by the blockers. While the others chased her trying to hit her. Still she countered, dodged, and avoided everything. Even dancing around the blockers and exploded with her explosive final kick to catch them.
I knew I had to do something as we were at the last stretch and she was in the lead. I sped up and tried to tackle her down to the ground. I wasn't the only one as someone else had the same idea as me. We got close to her using our own final kicks, that's when she spun and soon a spin kick hit the other person. I was so shocked at seeing that I didn't see the elbow coming at my face.
She was absolutely beautiful as she did that. She winked at me as I passed out. Soon I awoke and saw I was at the infirmary. I saw my teammate High Soup by the bedside. I asked," Hey Soup what happened?" She replied," Hey Tiger Friend you're awake, yeah you got knocked the fuck out."
Goddesses damn it, I then asked Soup," Hey for how long?" She told me," Not long the last race is only about to start so around half an hour." I then ask," What did Viridian say after she won the race?" Soup replied," Nothing at all actually, just watch what she did though." She played the online replay and damn, I wanna fuck her.
She then told me," Yup girl I know what you're thinking. Yes everyone with a pulse wants to fuck her. Even the straight women and asexuals wish they could fuck her." I then laughed at that and asked Soup," Can you turn on the TV, I wanna watch the next game?" She nodded and I watched as the next game immediately began.
I was watching, but that's when," Oh my god what the fuck!?" I screamed as Soup yelled," Holy Shit!!" We couldn't believe what we were watching. This made the run I just had look tame as fuck. I didn't know you could do that to a person.
Norn Viking POV
I awoke seeing Suzu sleeping beside me. We've been secretly dating for a while now and I am happy. I finally got her to bite when I started flirting with other guys and girls on staff. She tried to scold me for hitting her staff until she realized she was trapped herself in a room alone with me. Soon we talked and we got together.
Now we both awoke and soon we realized today was game day. We got dressed and soon after making myself look beautiful I got on the bus. I wore my mask and uniform that I redesigned to make me look absolutely stunning. We soon got to the stadium as we got off. After all the speech and game plan nonsense we finally got to go on the field.
First race was a blowout and other than celebrating my teammates' success in their mission it wasn't that exciting. The audience who was seeing this for the first time seemed to be excited at least. They liked Rose's dancing, Mama's speed, GW's consistency, and Lily's dominance. The speech was entertaining too as Lily just cried about not getting any good competitors. Hilarious.
Next Spice did her thing, but she wanted this to be an introduction and a lesson. Seeing as what they did in marathons in this world was so uggies. I hated it, they like totally spit in the face of all marathon runners. That's why as Spice ran the audience started to get more and more interested in the show. Right on girl, now what'll she do next?"
She soon burst to the finish line and had one of the best introductions I've seen. It was so inspirational I can see that this changed their lives forever. She came back and invited the rest for a bathroom break and soon it was my turn to run. I got up and the coach nodded at me and I knew I just had to run like I wanted to.
I soon stepped onto the racing ground like a total girl boss. I know I got it going on as all eyes were already on me. That's even before the performance has arrived. I am amazing. Now I do my strut walking that's when a bunch of nobodies came attracted to me like a bunch of moths to a very hot flame.
They tried to threaten and talk trash, but the hearts in their eyes made it hard to take them seriously. Ladies I already have your hearts I know you will never attempt to surpass your limits to hurt me. You will also never try your true best, but you will try to beat me. I have you and you're mine, whether I play with you is a different story however my cute new toys. That's when someone said something that has my attention.
They said," The previous race is the last race your team is winning." It was so cute~. She actually thinks she can decide that aww~. I told her," How adorable." I wanted to squeeze her cheeks so hard, but I couldn't and that's so sad.
I then left the surrounding girls to their own thoughts and began walking away. I also felt them try to chase after me, uhh stalkers, but that's when the bell to get into the gates rang. I went to my assigned gate and soon the gates opened. I ran past the people coming towards me and danced around the dummies behind them. Did these sillies forget this was a race?
I ran and the front runners and pace chasers passed me as I was running late surger today. Why cause I wanted to. I knew they were coming for this pretty thang when the pace chasers tried to do blocking tactics. I also heard weapons and saw the brutes try to attack me. Girls I know martial arts, so let's see how you like this.
I soon parried the first strikes to the pace chasers blocking my way knocking them out each out. I then dodged the weapons and items coming at me using the strikers and obstacles as shields removing them from the field as I ran forward. That's when they began to try to surround me. Good thing your girl knows parkour. I soon used a tilted rock as a ramp and jumped using my flexibility and acrobatics to dodge the weapons shot and thrown at me.
I then used my parkour to get farther away as the front runners were left along with the end closers who didn't try anything yet. I soon knew I was close enough to the finish to use my finishing burst and final kick. That's why I did so and passed all the ones in front of me. I was near the finish when I felt two presences behind me. I knew they were trying to tackle me down.
I dealt with them like the brutes who tried that in my past life. I did my signature pirouette spin. It first lands a spin kick at the first brute. Which shocks the other one with them not seeing the elbow strike coming. They were going to be fine both will probably awaken in half an hour.
Good for them as they'll probably get to watch the last race in the tournament. I see the front-runners coming so I turn around and walk past the finish line. Soon I was guided to the interview area by the nice staff who were all looking at me like hungry dogs. We watched as the others finally finished the race. Still before that I was given a towel and a bottle of water.
I took a drink, but soon the interview began. She asked me a question but I didn't know what to say. I soon felt a drop of water dripping on my lips so I wiped it off using my finger. Still, I couldn't think of anything so before she could say anything I shushed her. That's when all of a sudden she passed out, how strange and adorable. I smiled at how adorable she was, but soon everyone was shrieking for some reason.
I strutted away how can I not do a fabulous exit? There waiting was my team with all different reactions. Some were laughing, others hiding their aggravation, and one of them was my girlfriend she was looking at me with absolute rage. She was smiling, but I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to burn me with them. Honey I won the race, what did I do wrong?
She turned around saying," Hmph!" She soon pouted and began walking away. I yelled," Hon..Suzu wait, please use your words, what's wrong?" I ran after her to the back. When we got to the back, I followed her to a supply closet. She soon turned towards me and then she grabbed me into a make-out session.
