Chapter 70: Benny, Race to the Top

          I am going to build a go kart for Lob Star and Nathan. I am not quite sure when this stupid bet started, but I was definitely going to get involved in this. Right now, I was betting my guardian was going to beat Nathan in this race. Unless Nathan's guardian can help him. I kind of doubt it though. He's not too bright.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing? I can get Roller Brawler here" Lob Star offered.

"Of course, I can handle this! I know what to do" I told him as I fixed up some gears on the cart.

I question why he does have need of a cart. He's an odd creature with the ability to create water throwing stars. I know they fight a God of Chaos, but I still think this is somewhat ridiculous. Then again, if we can beat Nathan, then I am fine with this!

"Uh, do we have boosters?" he asked me.

I'm sorry, what? I looked up at him concerned. I don't think we should add magic into this race. That could cause much more damage than we need to deal with.

"You want to add magic into this race?" I asked him curiously.

"Is that not what you do here?" he asked me.

Well, I guess a little magic wouldn't hurt. I know how to add some magic into the vehicle. Again, a little shouldn't hurt. If you add too much, then something will go wrong. I held my wand and cast a bit of magic around the engine.

"Ok, you have a few magic boosters in your engine. Just don't use it all at once" I advised him.

"Of course, I know that! Anyone who doesn't know that is a fool" Lob Star stated annoyed.

"I have to say that. Its' protocol" I explained to him as I rubbed my forehead.

Lob Star started the engine. It gave a loud roar. I patted the hood of the cart in excitement. Eat your heart out Nathan! I am total going to beat you! We made our way to the school's parking lot and saw most of my classmates who cared about this bet here. Actually, Noel was ready to record this event while Joey and Lily were sitting on sun bathing chairs and eating popcorn. Yeah, this was an event everyone either wanted or didn't wanted.

"Alright! Everyone settle down!" Jimmy shouted through a Mega Phone.

Who gave him a Mega Phone? Besides Nina, Jimmy is the last person who should have one. He stood in the street as everyone cheered. He stood next to me as he searched for Nathan.

"He's not here" I whispered to him.

"He'll show. Nathan wouldn't miss something like this" he reassured me with a smile.

Ok, I might be relatively new here, but Jimmy sounding confident Nathan would show up here does not sound good to me. Just then, we heard loud punk music and engine noise coming towards us. Jimmy and I turned around to see Nathan and his guardian, Beat, riding a monster truck with after burners?! Why is this allowed? This shouldn't be allowed. Wait a minute, how on earth did he have access to that?!

Jimmy picked up his Mega Phone as he shouted "Alright! Racers! Get ready!"

He's going to allow this?! Nathan and Beat drove the truck to the starting line. Well, if they are going to allow this then I am going to take part in this race as well! Lob Star drove his cart to the starting line. This cart was only made for one, but I did put a hand bar on the end of the cart. I jumped on the cart and held onto the hand rail.

"Are you sure you want to do this Benny?" Lob Star asked surprised.

"Yeah! We are not going to lose to Nathan!" I stated determinedly.
