"What the fuck?! He's already climbed up the rocks!" Johnny yelled as he saw the figure hold the same pace, catching up to us quickly.
"Wait, I know him," Gyro spoke, "You're right, he's not one of the Boom Booms.... Why would he chase us through the night?"
"That speed, it's abnormal! Mountain Tim! What do we do now?!"
I answered his question, looking down at my hands, staring at the crimson red nails that matched my lipstick perfectly, "It's most important how we do it. We gotta get rid of him somehow, lose him from our trail."
Gyro nodded, agreeing with what I had said, "We can't let anybody get close to us in this desert stage! Nobody would be following us at night without some fucked-up reason."
We all saw that Mountain Tim was now right behind our tails, inching closer to us as the second went by. "Man! What the hell kind of speed is that?!" Gyro screamed, "He's already climbing the next set of rocks! It's supposed to be uphill. How is he accelerating?!"
'Accelerating uphill?'
Johnny seemed to catch onto what was happening, because he then opened his mouth, going a few seconds without saying anything till he finally let out the sound, "No, Gyro... I'm starting to understand. The situation isn't what we were thinking!"
"Could it be..." I whispered, which catches the attention of Gyro, asking just what I was thinking, but Johnny proceeded to answer for me after I stayed quiet, "He is accelerating, but that's not all! We couldn't tell because we were running, but that's not all!"
Then, we saw the medal of the paraplegic boy's horse rein star sinking deep into the flesh of his cheek, dangerously close to his eye. "I'm being pulled! My body, it's being pulled from behind!"
The metal of his hardness then flew towards him, and I started to feel light headed, feeling my heart racing quickly without an explanation. I couldn't see anything due to the sock and rush running through my veins, but Johnny had just been pulled off his horse, and Gyro and I started floating in the air as well, metal sinking into our skin as we hissed in pain and displeasure.
I saw out of the corner of my eyes that both Slow Dancer and Valkyrie ran away after sensing the danger. Thunder Realm turned to look at me with a knowingly look, and received an approving yet painful nod from me. She quickly followed both horses, and paid attention back to the situation in hand. We landed on the rock with a loud 'thud', the shorter male speaking up first, "My body too! Since when am I a magnet too?!"
"Johnny, [Y/N]!" Gyro yelled, mostly to Johnny since I was nearer to him, just holding onto a huge rock that lay motionless on the sand, "when did they touch you two?! They must have!"
"They didn't touch me, didn't even got anywhere near me!" I said as I felt pressure running through my system.
"No bloody idea!" Johnny yelled back, "But wait, it— it could've been the bullet! When Benjamin Boom Boom shot that bullet! There could have been something on it!"
