A race!

*He would remain on the ground. That was his focus; as long as there was no obstacles, he’d make his way on the surest path he could see, and even if Sonic was going to use mechanisms to speed himself along or cut his route a little shorter, he would still try to win. He’d just have to push himself harder.

He put on another burst of speed, hustling hard. Come on… come ooooon…*

*And for the first time in this race, besides earlier when Sonic went to a higher route, Turbo managed to pass him! It surprised Sonic for a little while, but then he figured… maybe this Turbo guy wanted a challenge?

Well, he wasn’t giving him enough of one! This is what he was saving that ring energy for; a remarkable finish. Time to break out that Sonic Speed in a last minute sprint to the finish!

The hedgehog slowed down just slightly, and then…just two seconds after, he broke out in a burst of super fast speed…. Breaking the sound barrier without breaking a sweat. In a spectacular blue streak; Sonic quickly regained his lead…. and made sure it stayed there by a landslide with the loop completely in view and just a jog, in his eyes, away from winning! It’s at this point, he slows down. Keeping the pace just a bit slower to see if the guy had what it takes to keep up with that. If it was a challenge he wanted, a challenge he’d get!*

*He’d underestimated this one, he really had. Watching him slow down like that, he honestly considered that he’d run himself out of energy, and was going to offer him some tips after the race about eating habits and keeping a pace, assuming that this one wasn’t neaaarly as used to running at the same measures as he was. A costly mistake. He’d even slowed down a little to keep from absolutely wiping out at the end — now he wouldn’t have another chance.

Genuine wonderment, pleasure, and even a little self-derision appeared on his face as he watched the other book it past him. Alright. Last few feet. It would be close. He pressed on quick and furious himself, delighted. Best! Best race ever!*
