Couldn't come up with much in this chapter.

Nova let out a long yawn, as she was sitting to the side, really tired but didn't want to sleep until they had won the race.
"What is this place?" Racer Seven asked.
"My garage. It's protected by a Level 999 Stealth Barrier. Were you followed?" said Scott.
"Who would be following me?" Racer Seven asked.
"Those Red Visor guys." said Jay.
"Unagami's been trying to find this place for years." said Scott.
"No, I wasn't followed." Racer Seven and Scott narrow their eyes at each other.
"Pull your car in before someone sees it." said Scott.
Red 29 sees the Jungle Raider enter the garage. "Red 29 to Unagami. I have located the ninja. Repeat, I have located the ninja. Send backup."
*Unagami sends in more Red Visors.*
Inside the garage
"Unagami is actually a man named Milton Dyer, a game programmer. He built Prime Empire. He's using it to trap players inside the game." said Lloyd as he had taken a seat next to Nova, and had her rest her head on his shoulder. Even though she didn't want to fall asleep at the wrong time.
"The only way to stop Dyer is to get the three Key-Tana." said Nya.
"To do that, we need your help. We need to win this race." said Jay.
"If we don't win this fucking, stupid, race, I'll have wasted time and sleep for nothing." Nova growled in a grumpy mood.
"You said I was programmed to lose. But I could break my programming." Lloyd nods. "What if you're wrong?" Racer Seven asked.
"I'm not. You can win. You just have to believe in yourself." said Lloyd.
"If he was wrong, I wouldn't be dating this mossbrain." said Nova in a tired but still teasing tone.
Lloyd rolled his eyes. "Rest, Nova." He gently stroked her head, for once, he wanted her to sleep but of course she was being stubborn.
"What do you say? Will you help us?" Nya asked.
"I'll do it." said Racer Seven.
Nova let out a yawn as she pushed herself away from Lloyd and got up from her chair.
"Nova, you should be resting." said Lloyd, as he tried grabbing her hand until an alarm went off.
*An alarm beeps.*
"Not the best time for that, greenie." said Nova.
"Something tripped the motion sensors." Scott checks the camera and sees the Red Visors heading towards the garage. "Red Visors!"
"What do we do?" Nya asked.
"I'll hold them off. You guys get to the racetrack and win that Key-Tana." said Lloyd.
"Are you crazy? We're not leaving you here. And who is gonna make sure, Nova doesn't fall asleep at the wrong time." said Kai.
"Yeah, no way!" said Cole.
Nova gave Kai and Cole a death glare. "I might be tired, but I'm not deaf."
"We're out of options! The Speedway starts in five minutes and there are too many to-" said Lloyd before being cut off.
"I'll hold them off. I've been hiding in this garage for 30 years, playing it safe. Time to try out that hero thing." said Scott.
"You only have one life left, Scott." said Kai.
"I know, and I want it to count for something. Just promise me you'll beat this game. Find Unagami, and you make him set this right." Scott pulls up his inventory and takes out his gun.
"I promise." said Jay.
Nova bit her lower lip before letting out a sigh. "I promise. Even though that isn't my style."
*The Red Visors start shooting the garage.*
"Go!" shouted Scott.
Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Nya, and Racer Seven get in their respective vehicles.
"Uh..." Cole hops on the back of Kai's Jet.
"If you crash, I'm gonna kill you myself." said Nova, as she got on the back of Lloyd's bike, wrapping her arms around him so she wouldn't fall off.
"With you as my lucky charm, I'm sure we're gonna be alright." said Lloyd.
Scott opens the garage's doors and the Red Visors stop shooting. "Game on, Unagami." He exits the garage and starts shooting the Red Visors, then takes cover and sends a toy car at them.
"Huh?" The toy car explodes, destroying the Red Visors. More Red Visors emerge and head towards Scott.
"Let's go." Racer Seven and the ninja buckle their seat belts and head to the Speedway. The Red Visors start shooting at them, but they miss.
"Hey!" Scott distracts the Visors' by attacking them, but he is shot and cubed.
"No! No." Jay and the others head towards the Speedway Five-Billion.
"We have eliminated the threat known as Scott." said Red 29 to Unagami.
"What about the ninja?" Unagami asked.
"They escaped. They are on their way to the Speedway. We require vehicles." Unagami summons three cars, while an aerial drone picks up Scott's Energy Cube.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Robots and beasts and racers of all kinds! Welcome to the main event, the most dangerous race in all of Prime Empire. The Speedway Five-Billion!" The audience cheers. "And the prize is... That's right. A Key-Tana! But who will take the prize home? Let's meet our contestants. First up, the ever-popular Whack Rats! The Chrome Domes! The Ballistic Missiles! And lastly... Wait, what's this? I'm being told we're one team short. That's right, the Fast Chickens are a no-show."
A chicken wearing a soda guzzler squawks in protest. "What do we think of that, folks?" The audience boos, and they throw their soda bottles at the screen. The Admin Droid flies towards the starting line. "But the Speedway waits for no one! So let's get started. On your mark, get set, go!"
The Admin Droid fires a gun and the racers speed off. "Holy Loot-Box! We've got a last-minute arrival!" The ninja and Racer Seven enter the race track, with Red Visors following. "The Fast Chickens are in the house! And it looks like they've got company. Red Visors in pursuit. I'd say that's against the rules, but it's the Speedway. There are no rules."
"Why did I choose to ride on the back of a jet?!" screamed Cole.
A Whack Rat throws a bomb at a Chrome Dome's Lightning Offroader. The Chrome Dome crashes to a Katana 4x4. Jay and Lloyd dodge the crash.
"Asshole!" shouted Nova from the back of Lloyd's bike.
"Nova, shouting at them is only gonna make it worse!" said Lloyd while driving.
Nova mumbled in annoyance as she let out a yawn.
"Whoa!" A Ballistic Missile shoots a Quad Bike with his missiles. The Quad Bike gets destroyed. The Ballistic Missile crashes into a wall. Jay gets close to Ritchie.
"Ninja!" said Ritchie.
"Ritchie!" said Jay.
"That's Mister Ritchie to you!" He throws a bomb at Jay. Jay dodges it, and it hits a Lightning Offroader instead. The Lightning Offroader crashes into two of the Katana 4x4.
"There's another vehicle down and out, as we pass the second-mile marker, with the Whack Rats in first, and the Fast Chickens in last." said the Announcer.
Three Red Visors attempt to sandwich Nya until she brakes, causing them to crash into each other. She then accelerates and knocks two Red Visors off the track, and laughs.
"Ah, loot box! Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!" Ritchie's vehicle gains a wrecking ball, and he causes a racer to crash.
"Look out, Cole! Wrecking ball!" shouted Kai.
Cole leaps to avoid it, but ends up grabbing onto the chain. "Aah! Help!" He lands on Ritchie's car and throws him out, taking it for himself. "Loot box. Loot box!"
"I've got it. I've got it!" Kai obtains it. "Nothing happened. What kind of loot box is - whoa!" His mech jet turns into a mech. "Woo hoo!" He sweeps a racer off the track.
"Nice move from the red mech!" said the Announcer.
"Look out!" Racer Seven, Nova and Lloyd dodge several bombs, which stick to a Chrome Dome's car and explode, catapulting him into the air as he screams.
"That's one more out of the race. The Whack Rats are still in the lead, Chrome Dome's in second, and surprisingly, Fast Chickens moving into third!" said the Announcer.
"This is like fucking Mario Karts!" shouted Nova, as she tighten her grip on Lloyd.
"What kind of game is Mario Karts?" Lloyd asked.
"Something like this, but a lot more raging." said Nova, yawning as she rested her head on his back. "It's worse if you're in first place and someone gets a blue shell."
"What happens if someone gets a blue shell?" Lloyd asked as he felt her resting against his back.
"It's a homing missile that targets the person in first place." said Nova, closing her eyes. "If you're in last place, there is a bigger chance for you to get a rocket, that helps you to catch up with the rest and get a better place on the board."
"That sounds very crazy." said Lloyd as he kept driving. "You better not fell asleep back there, Ocea."
"I'm not gonna fall asleep, not until this race is over." said Nova.
Some Whack Rats attempt to sandwich Nya. "They're boxing me in!" A Rat releases spikes, which Nya dodges by levitating her vehicle, and the spikes take out another racer. Another Rat then causes her car to catch on fire. "Guys, I need help!"
"Nya, hang on!" Racer Seven extinguishes the fire.
"Thanks, Seven!" shouted Nya.
Four Red Visors repeatedly smash into Jay. "Um, guys? I could use a little help!"
"Hang on, buddy!" shouted Kai.
"Ugh, if I could just get this guy off my tail!" said Jay.
Cole and Kai nod at each other. "Good luck, Jay." They take out the Visors. "Not today!"
"Hold on!" Kai and Cole crash, and an explosion ensues. They lose their last lives and are cubed.
"No!" shouted Jay.
"Kai!" shouted Nya.
"Cole!" shouted Jay.
"Fast Chickens moving into second place, neck and neck with the Whack Rats! And we're crossing the fourth mile marker." said the Announcer.
Racer Seven has a flashback "Fourth mile marker. You said I was programmed to lose, but that I could break my programming. What if you're wrong?"
"You have to believe in yourself." said past Lloyd, in the flashback.
*Racer Seven accelerates and successfully crosses the fourth mile marker.*
"Woo hoo! Racer Seven takes the lead! You heard that right, Racer Seven takes the lead and steals first position!" shouted the Announcer.
"Yes!" said Nya.
"She's past the fourth mile marker, making Speedway history here, folks!" said the Announcer.
"Ugh, get her!" shouted Whack Rat.
"Those rats are trying to take her out!" said Jay.
"We gotta help her." said Nya.
"Hang on, Seven. We're coming!" shouted Lloyd.
"We can't let her lose." said Nova, looking over Lloyd's shoulder.
"Racer Seven's teammates are trying to clear the road for her, but can she make it? We're in the homestretch, and it looks like a nail-biter." Racer Seven crosses the finish line. "It's Racer Seven! Racer Seven and the Fast Chickens!" The audience cheers. In other parts of Terra Technica, Okino smiles to himself, and the League of Jay cheers. A crowd lifts Racer Seven up.
"Haha!" Racer Seven laughs.
Racer Seven receives the Yellow Key-Tana and gives it to Jay.
"We can fix this. We're gonna find Unagami and make him bring them all back. I promise." said Jay.
Racer Seven notices Red Visors arriving. "You'd better go."
"What about you?" Nya asked.
"I'll go my own way, thanks to you." said Racer Seven.
"Thank you." Lloyd, Nova, Jay, and Nya leaves.
"Looks like I'm not gonna get any sleep until this is over." said Nova, as she opened her menu and grabbed a drink in her inventory that could keep her stay awake for a while longer.
"You could have done that this whole time!?" Lloyd glanced at her.
"Hey, I was tired, so I forgot I had something that could help until now!" shouted Nova.
"Looks like they are back to fighting again." said Jay, while they were all running into hiding.
"Idiots, I'm surrounded by idiots." Nya facepalmed.
