"Kyo ho ho ho, of course princess."
Mr.Hatter took the center stage, clearing his throat before he could properly start the race.
He drank a tall glass of water, and with booming voice, he gave the speech.

ONE THAT WILL TEST YOUR SKILLS, DEXTERITY, STAMINA, YOUR VERY WILL!!
THIS IS THE RACE OF DEEESSSTINNNYYYYYYYY!!!
I AM YOUR FANTAAABULOUS HOST, MR.HATTER!!
Now some of you may be asking, 'Mr.Hatter, just what is the Race of Destiny?
WELL I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!
THE RACE OF DESTINY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A LONG AND VIGOROUS RACE,
ACROSS THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF RPM AND THE VERY BORDERS OF SPARKVANIA!!!
RACERS SHALL RIDE WHATEVER THEY CAN
, or in some cases run,
THROUGH OUT 9 DANGEROUS TRACKS.
ALL OF WHICH ARE A DISTANCE OF BETWEEN 250 km (150 miles) TO 10,000 km (930 miles)!
Roughly speaking of course, this includes curves, loops and all such obstacles.
HERE ARE THE RULES RACERS:
All racers must only use the vehicles they have started the race with.
It is COMPLETELY prohibited to change vehicles inbetween the races.
If your vehicle is damaged, you may try to repair it,
but it must be repaired before the first racer reaches the checkpoint.
If you fail to do so, the racer shall receive a demerit.
3 demerits and you are DISQUAAALIFIIEEEED
You cannot steal another racers vehicle, doing so will get you automatically DIIISSSQUAAA;IFIIIEEED!!.
But don't worry, If the last racers are still fine, but are taking to long to pass the finish line.
Our Lakitus shall be kind enough to give you a lift.
However, if this were to happen, this means the racer in question will get a demerit.
3 demerits and it's BYE-BYYYEEEE!!
Attacking other racers is prohibited, but if the racer in question is outside of his vehicle,
the one who has dealt harm to the individual shall be disqualified.
SAYONAAARAAA RACER!!~
Teleporting gets you automatically kicked out of life.
...
NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
Now then, this race runs on a point system.
Racers shall receive points depending on the order of racers that passes the finisg line.
1st place gets you 250 points.
2nd place 150
3rd place 75
4th place 50
5th place get 25 points,
all othes shall get 24-0 in the order of their arrival.
What does this mean,
That even if you didn't get first place in every track,
if you have enough points. You ARE to be the victor.
And to make things more interesting, each track shall have special challenge
which counts as 250 extra points to the total score of whichever racer can acomplish it.
Not only that, but there is a special token in each track that are worth a whopping 500 points!
Of course, the token won't be easy to find, but keep an eye out for 'em,
'cause trust me, they'll be worth the trouble!
I would also like to point out that the bratt-lovely Empress Silan's vassal, Temnota, and her babysi-
Four Fearsome Knights shall referee the whole race. And for your viewing pleasure,
we have some lakitus that shall record all the juicy action in which our audience shall see,
right in the comfort of their own seats on that gigantic HD monitor.
Violence has never been clearer folks!
Now then, are there any questions before we begin?
"Actually I do. Where-"
TOO LATE!
ON YOUR MARKS!!...
GET SET!!...
The tension and excitement rose in the audience, as the racers started their engines and made their final adjustments. After a long delay the race was about to begin.
Are the racers on RPMs side ready to undertake the trials that awaited them? Will Sparkvania finally expand it's land towards the north and create a kingdom ruled by Silan's iron fist?
Is Flame getting a massage in the Nekocafe?
Where is Waldo are the leaders of RPM.
Perhaps the answers lie, in the coming chapters of;
RPM Battle 'N Chase!!
