Adam & Eva (Oban Star Racers, Eva/Molly x Male OC) [On Hiatus]

Silent like Spirit/The Will to Win

*Narrating*

Adam: "The start of Play-off didn't go as well as we thought. First, Eva's loss against Toros in which Arrow II got cut in half. Later, my loss against Aikka, which was totally not my fault, resulted in losing his trust and me and Jordan said some rather uncensorable words to each other. After that, we decided to not pilot ever again, at least not for Don Wei. But thanks to Rick Thunderbolt and his coaching we agree to give in and try our best to win. And let me tell you, it put us back on top. Eva dealt with Satis in his stupid 'Super-racer' persona, while I defeated Rush, a gentle giant from planet Byrus. I owe him one for saving Eva in those ruins. Right now Earth Team is tied for second place with Satis and Aikka right behind Toros. But... Eva is racing against Spirit... I hate to let her go, but she must do it alone. Please... don't try anything stupid..."

*Adam POV*

I'm on the balcony above the pit with Don and Rick, observing Koji and Stan doing the final tuneups for Wheezing Arrow II.

'I have a feeling I will regret letting her go against that monster... Eva, don't be stupid, killing him won't bring Maya back'

Eva starts the Arrow II and flies out of the hangar towards the arena. Stan and Koji wave at them, while I look worried at the cockpit. Eva turns around and gives me a thumbs up, but it's not make my worries smaller, quite the opposite, I got me worried beyond everything

Adam: "Be safe there, Star..." I murmur under my nose. Then I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up to see Rick.

Rick: "Worried about Little Mouse, are we, Adam?"

Adam: "Spirit... I saw his race against Nourasians. He's brutal and doesn't care about his opponent. I just hope she'll be careful" Don turns to me and Rick

Don: "You'd think I'd be more relaxed by now. But it's just the opposite. The higher we climb, the more I fear our fall"

Adam: "It's more painful to fall from the first floor than the first step of a ladder. Boss, it's time for the race to start"

Don: "Very well. Let's go" We get to the control room and everyone takes their position. I open up the typical stats for Arrow II, with Eva's stats on the corner

'If anything, I can always grab our rocket seat and go help her. You won't take her away, Spirit. You already took her mother' I grind my teeth

Judge: "For the fifth round of the Alwas Playoffs I call forth, the Earth Team!" Eva lands Arrow II in the center of an arena.

Judge #2: "Next we call forth Spirit, ambassador of the Phils!" Camera turns to the entrance, but no one came out

Jordan: "Looks like our reputation precedes us. He didn't even bother to show up" a wind picks up, and after a moment a black humanoid figure walks into the arena, a long, silver coat billows around its legs

Eva: "No..."

I clench my left fist as it starts shaking

Adam: "It's all over again..."

*Flashback, ten years ago*

Adam: "Auntie, when Maya wins, can we go get ice cream?"

Ophelia: "Of course sweetheart"

Two racers turn the last corner. One of them is Spirit and the other one is Maya Wei in a ship looking like Arrow II

Adam: "Maya! She is winning!" then, THAT happened. Just as she was gonna cross the finish line... her star racer exploded "Maya..."

Ophelia: "Oh my God... Adam, don't look!" she quickly grabbed my hand and got me out. In the way I catch a look at a girl around my age. Later I get to know it was Eva
