〘CHAPTER 1〙

The roar of the crowd was deafening, a tidal wave of energy surging through the air as the racers neared the finish line. 

The stadium pulsed with anticipation.

Fans stood on their feet, their cheers growing into an electrified symphony of excitement, their voices merging into one as they urged their favorites forward.

"They're nearly at the end - this is it, the final stretch!" The MC's voice boomed through the speakers, barely cutting through the chaos of the screaming crowd "The Hummingbird Crew is in the lead, but the others are hot on their heels! This is absolutely wild!!".

Tension coiled in the air, dense and suffocating - as if even time had paused to see what would happen next.

Every eye was locked on the track, every heartbeat synced with the rhythm of the cyclists pedaling.

Dom gritted his teeth, his breath coming out in ragged pants "Come on, guys! Push harder!" He yelled, his voice nearly drowned by the deafening cheers.

His legs burned, muscles screaming in protest but he refused to slow down.

Jay Jo clenched his jaw, sweat dripping down his face. His body ached, every muscle stretched to its limit but the fire in his eyes burned fiercely. 

This was it - their moment.

With an almost desperate determination, he forced his legs to move faster, his vision narrowing to a single point - the finish line.

It was right there, just a little more.

June and Vinny flanked him, their unwavering support fueling him forward.

They were a unit - a Crew - a family. They moved as one, their wheels slicing through the pavement with deadly precision.

"NOW!!" June shouted, his voice sharp - commanding.

With one final burst of energy, they surged ahead. The wind howled in their ears, the finish line a blur in their sights.

And then - they crossed it.

They had won!!

The stadium erupted in a frenzied explosion of cheers, Fans leaping from their seats, arms raised high in triumph.

The sheer volume was overwhelming, a tidal wave of joy and excitement washing over the racers.

"THE HUMMING BIRD CREW HAS DONE IT AGAIN! THEY HAVE WON!!" The MC roared, his voice full of admiration and disbelief "WHAT A RACE! WHAT A FINISH!!".

Panting, their bodies exhausted yet thrumming with adrenaline, the Crew coasted to a stop.

Their limbs ached, their chests rose and fell heavily but the sweet, intoxicating taste of victory overpowered every bit of pain.

They had won and in this moment, nothing else mattered.

Reporters surged forward, their cameras flashing like starlight, their voices overlapping as they shoved microphones in their faces while they took off their helmets.

"Jay Jo! Another win for The Humming Bird Crew, what's going through your mind right now?" A reporter asked, breathless with excitement.

Jay wiped a hand over his damp face, catching his breath before answering.

"It feels unreal" He admitted, his voice hoarse "This race pushed us to our limits - but we believed in each other and that's why we came out on top".

June - ever composed, answered the bulk of the questions while Dom and Vinny engaged with the crowd, signing autographs, laughing and embracing the moment.
