    The next evening, the second leg of the race started. This one would take the racers from Iceland to Germany. Creech and her siblings were finally in their comfort zone. "Man, weaving through those pylons is so easy," Junior said with a chuckle. "It's almost like weaving between the corn silos back at home."

    Creech agreed as she kept one eye on her sailcraft's controls and the other eye on the race ahead. Dusty was staying completely focused on the race as they flew alongside the other racers in the night. Suddenly, they heard a radio call for help. "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! I'm blinded! I can't see!"

    Then, another radio call came in. "Help! Someone please help! Bulldog and my sister Anna are in trouble!"

    Glancing downwards, Creech and the others were shocked at what they saw. One of Bulldog's armlights had gone off, causing him to be blind, and if Creech saw correctly, Anna must've been knocked out-because she could've sworn that she saw a big bump on her head. They all looked around, seeing that no one was noticing Elsa, Anna, and Bulldog in trouble. Since they're not gonna help them, then it looks like we'll have to do it, she thought.

    She looked at the others, who appeared to be thinking the same thing. Bravely, they dove down, Pocahontas standing near the edge to receive an unconscious Anna while Dusty guided Bulldog. What turned into a simple race was now a desperate attempt to get them to the finish line safely. Elsa flew alongside, worried sick for her sister and her fellow racer. She could only hope that they were okay.

    Meanwhile, all the other racers had landed with Ripslinger, Scar, and Zira still in first place when a voice over the loudspeaker shouted, "Actung! We have a mayday! Clear the runway!" Instantly, medics scrambled onto the tarmac.

    Ariel was surprised. "What do you think is going on, Aurora?" she asked her older sibling.

    "I don't know," said Aurora with a concerned look on her face. "All we know for now that it's just some sort of emergency, Ariel. Maybe one of the racers got hurt or something."

    Meanwhile, Matt and Sheree were confused as well, along with Lightning. "I don't know what's going on right now," said Matt, worry in his voice, "but I think it's pretty serious."

    As soon as he said that, they saw the familiar figures of Creech and her siblings guiding Bulldog in as they approached the runway. "Careful," El Chupacabra whispered anxiously.

    "Come on, guys, you can do it. Come on," Matt encouraged.

    Sheree, Bob, and Larry couldn't say anything. All they did was just tremble a little. Butch, however, was so terrified, he ran off, screaming-and passed Tom and Jerry, who were coming by, so fast, Jerry was flung off of Tom's head as the cat spun around like a top. Luckily, Lightning, who was going after Butch at that time, managed to stop him before he got too dizzy. At that time, they heard the familiar sounds of boots touching the runway. "Touchdown!" Dusty said happily. "Nicely done."

    The instant they landed, Pocahontas quickly got Anna over to the medics, who concluded that she got hit in the back of the head with a piece of iron. But how it was thrown without hitting any of the other racers was a mystery for now. In the meantime, Creech anxiously stayed by her until she heard her regaining her conscious. "Wh-what happened?" she asked. "All I could remember was-"

    Her voice seemed to freeze as she saw Creech sitting there, pating her hand. "It's alright, Anna," she soothed. "Me and my siblings saved you and Bulldog from crashing. Elsa was pretty worried about you."

    "Oh, goodness," Anna sighed. "I hope I didn't make her mad, did I?"

    "No," said Creech with a chuckle. "Not really. However, you and Bulldog did end up giving her a scare, though."
