"...And whoever wins this race will live forever!!" Red Son exclaimed, smirking evilly as he held up the poster for the Great Wall Race. When he looked up, he realized his parents were full on ignoring him.

"Uh—! Are you two even listening?!!" The red-haired demon shouted, angry.

Princess Iron Fan examined her nails. "Uh, something about peaches? Look, your schemes are quaint. But I've never much cared for stone fruit." She turned to look at the Bull Clones at work.

"But... the peaches are powerful." Red Son spluttered.

"Like the weather station was powerful?" His mother shot back, turning her gaze back to him with a frustrated expression. "Why don't you just run along, hmm? Can't you see Mummy and Daddy have important business with an ancient power source? And don't you still need to retrieve your sister from wherever she ran off to? It's been weeks now."

Red Son ignored the last question, angered about his mother's disregard for the prize of this annual citywide race.

"Fine!" He shouted. Unbeknownst to him, this snapped his father out of his trance. "You two stay here in your hole, digging up your 'mYsTeRiOuS' power source. Ugh! I am going to win the race! And when I get that peach, I'm not sharing!!"

Huffing, he stormed out of the room. Suddenly, his phone buzzed. He took it out of his pocket and opened to see a text from Ember.


🔷Ember🔷

🔷Ember🔷: Heyyyyy, Redsy!! 😁😃😄🙃

You: What do you want.

🔷Ember🔷: Sooooo u know the race happening today?

You: Of course I do. What of it?

🔷Ember🔷: Wanna pair up for it? You can drive 🔥🔥🔥


Red Son thought for a moment, before sending his reply, a smirk plastered onto his face.


You: Only if I get the bigger half of the peach.

"Wow! Nice ride, Red! You really outdid yourself!" Ember awed, sitting in the passenger seat of the race car. Red Son was on the wheel, driving towards the starting line.

"Of course I did! Aside from my fire abilities, tinkering is what I truly excel at!! Hey, aren't those your peasant friends?" Red Son's eyes narrowed once he spotted Mei and MK. They seemed to be bickering about something.

"Oh! I totally forgot Mei signed up for the race too! Redsy, you should have seen her practice! She was awesome! She knows every single alley like the back of her hand!" The blue-haired demon gushed, earning a questionable glance from her brother.

"Ember," he blinked. "She is literally one of the obstacles in the way of the peach."

"Oh. Well, uh, I think she's a super cool obstacle." Ember stated. Her brother just sat there for a second at her response, before coming to a conclusion in his head. He sighed, making a mental note to interrogate either girl later.

Finally, MK and Mei's bickering got on Red Son's nerves. "Can you peasants be quiet?!! We're trying to get in the zone!"

"Ember?!! You too?!!" MK yelled. Ember shrugged, grinning.
