"AAAAH!" Marq pops out from the back seat of Paul's ride, and slams his hands on Paul's seat!
"Get after that guy!" He points at the man. "That freak's gotta be one of the assassins, popping in out of nowhere like that!"

"What the fuck are you doing in my car?! Get the fuck out!" Paul shouted as he started punching Marq with one arm and started driving with the other, limiting his output in pure speed. Meanwhile, Simon sprinted through the path and noticed the two following him, before he saw a young girl just a few meters away from him, observing him. "....Two of the Stand users are behind me.....The third one is just looking at me. This isn't good. They probably think I look suspicious. I need support." And as he thought that, he suddenly noticed that something was off. He paused for a second as he stopped running and stared at the sky. Clouds surrounded the area, and the rays of the Sun were gradually replaced by thin shadows. He jumped on a nearby rock to inspect the sky more, but then smiled and sat on the same rock, remaining silent.

"... Hmph." Camille, noticing the runner back down, turns to face the road again. "That's what I like to see. It's called respect."

Simon merely scoffed at Camille's remark, shaking his head while he did so. He then silently altered the intensity of the chip inside his throat, allowing his voice to be heard by most people nearby, mainly Paul, Marq and Camille. Despite this, the racers did not notice the device. "I did not stop to show my respect to someone, especially to someone as small and insignificant as you. I merely stopped to rest, for that I'll have to run as fast as I can in the next ten minutes." He said as he started looking at the sky. "This is my home. The continent where I belong to. I have lived here for most of my life, before I entered this race. In this route, I have an absolute advantage. However, my victory has finally been confirmed by Mother Nature itself. Look at the sky. What do you see?" He asked, as he gave another look at the sky while smiling. "It is summer and the hot African Sun has roasted my flesh and bone during the start of the race....But now....Now the tide changes..." "...Now it will rain." |

Marq takes a hit to the top of his head, and starts blocking the rest. "A-C'mon...! Seriously?! You're gonna lose that asshole, asshole!"
He catches a glimpse of the man, who is now sitting down on a stone. "Guh... Is that him there?"

It took Alex a while to go around the herd of buffalo, but now he was on the other side of it. Unfortunately for him, it took some time and he was pretty behind at the moment. But on the bright side, it looked like he managed to lose Arete, or at least that's what it looked like. Alex sped up to try and catch up with the others who already crossed the buffalo before him.

"Yeah whatever." Camille speeds off.

As soon as Camille departed, the clouds in the sky would slowly become more and more prominent, obscuring the entire area with their shade. Soon, small droplets of water started to rain down on the ground, albeit slowly. "...It has begun. While it may look weak at first, this rain shall increase in intensity as time passes, before becoming a thunderstorm in the next, few minutes. Once the storm has begun, your vehicles will be dead weight. No machine could ever drive in my home country during such a gigantic storm. The driver would instead lose control of the vehicle in a few seconds, perhaps even causing him to crash, and maybe even take his life in the process. Heed my warning: If you care for your life, do not drive your vehicle in the next few minutes." Simon said as he slowly stood up from his rock and looked at Marq and Paul. "You're probably wondering why I told you this. Fact stands that while the rain might affect machines, it doesn't affect the power of a human's spirit. There is no way for you to catch up to me now."
"And now, I shall leave." Simon said as he jumped off the rock and started running towards the racers's destination. "Enjoy your stay in my home country."

Chris was grumbling about the rain...he hated it a lot. However, he kept on riding, trusting his bike to keep on going, even in the rain. He was quite upset at the fact that this would also bring down the power of LiT, since the strength of the color determined it's effectiveness. He sighed. "Rain always brings me down..."

"Shit... this is dumb." Camille wasn't much in the mood for dealing with rain. She slowed down a bit and looked up towards the sky. "I suppose if it comes to the worst, I can carry my scooter, it's not the heavy. Or push it. But I really don't wanna do that..." She decided to move at a slow speed for the moment and see how bad the rain got.

Alex looked around to see that the rain was coming down pretty hard. Rain didn't normally bother him, but in this case, it might have some effect on his performance in the race. Since he was already caught up with the others, he thought it would be alright to slow down and maybe take it easy for a bit until the rain goes away.

"Rrrrrrgh..." Marq begins to lose his patience. Surely this man is out to get Camille first, since she's isolated and ahead of everyone else! Even is he isn't an assassin, Marq can't let Simon get away like that! So, Marq jumps from the car, and begins running after Simon himself! "Get back here! If you wanna leave so much, I'll send you off in a stretcher!"
Marq's running becomes inhibited when he reaches to grab his Shockwave, dragging it by the wheel with the same maddening sprint as before. But then, his speed picks up a bit... "Dridridridridridridridri...!"

Simon would keep running, before he heard loud steps behind and saw one of the racers madly sprinting towards him like a raging bull, carrying a bike with him. "Hmm. Foolish." Simon would think, knowing that the hot-blooded racer was merely wasting his time. He would however not let him waste his time. He would quickly sprint towards a forest full of nimble, tall trees and run past them in such small corners that it would be impossible to fit a bike through it.

Meanwhile, a bit away, was Ruben. "Ach, this rain is so annoying! I'm not used to this, it was pretty damn hot where I come from! But, when in Rome, get used to the crap the Romans put up with, I guess..." He had dismounted his motorcycle and started walking. "I guess it's a good thing I enjoy hikes now and then."

The rain started growing stronger and stronger with each passing second, before the sky was completely covered in clouds and the surrounding area started looking gray and devoid of life, an opposite of what it was before. It was only morning, and yet it looked as if the Sun was about to set. Thunder started resonating in the distance, giving off a sense of dread and tension at the same time. Even though Africa was supposedly a hot and arid land, it sure wasn't now. "Damn." Paul thought as he noticed the wheels of his car. They were completely drenched in rainwater and driving now would have been too risky in these conditions. He silently stepped off the car as he covered his head with his arm, hoping to keep his hair from getting wet. "Just my luck."
