Bane stood firmly on a tall hill, observing the group from afar. He noticed Alex departing sooner than the others, but he didn't care much. According to Simon's map, he and any other racer would eventually run into a path of ruination soon enough. He observed Camille and Marq, the former which had just woken up. A wretched grin appeared on his face as he knew that it was finally time for his attack to begin. In that moment, Bane thought. "What a bunch of fools, still staying here after that dream! If I were a human, I'd have hightailed it out of here long ago! Now, what to do....I know! I'll make that guy next to the girl look like a giant spider! Girls are always afraid of bugs, so she'll be utterly terrified! Alright! Time to....Wait, how did a spider look like..." Bane suddenly started scratching his head with his hooves, cold sweat dropping on his neck. ".....I didn't see many spiders around here. Oh c'mon! I of all people should be able to remember such a small critter! C'mon!" He started stomping the ground, enraged by his lack of focus. "I got it! Now this will scare the hell out of her!" He boasted as his Stand appeared behind him: The decapitated corpse of a black goat, blood still pouring from its damaged neck. Various sunflowers were growing on its fur, glowing in strange colors. "Ding-Ding! It's showtime!" Bane started shouting as one of the sunflowers would emit a ray of light that pierced Marq's tent and hit him. Although Marq could see the ray of light, he would simply think that it was the Sun playing a joke on him.
"Good! Now that girl will see his friend as a spider! Time to see how he looks like to her..." Bane thought as he blinked his eyes and started looking at Marq from Camille's point of view and was visibly.....Disappointed. "W-What?! He's just as short and small as a normal spider! Even though he looks hideous!" Bane was surprised at how tiny Marq now looked from Camille's point of view. He made him as disgusting and ugly as a spider could be, but forgot to adjust a few other values. "W-Well....I guess I'll just wait and see what the girl thinks about it. Who knows? Maybe she has such a weak heart she'll be so terrified of a small bug she'll get a heart attack and die! Yes! That's definitely what will happen!" Bane started grinning, clinging to the hope that what he had just thought about would happen.
Meanwhile, Alex, Richy and Reuben would keep driving, only to suddenly find out that the road they were currently on was now leading towards a different direction due to an enormous tropical rainforest that couldn't be cut down, forcing the road's creators to make it take a detour. The three were now faced with a dilemma: Keep using the road, wasting precious time in the process, or go brave through the forest, possibly giving them an advantage in the race?
Meanwhile Paul kept going on the dirt road, attempting to reach Nigeria as soon as possible, albeit for different reasons when compared to most of the other racers: He was done. He didn't want to be in the race anymore. As he drove on however, he would suddenly see a strange glitter in the distance, but far away from the dirt road. The strange light was seemingly headed towards the deeper parts of the forest. Paul took out a pair of binoculars from his pocket and examined the golden light, only to find out that it was the reflection of a golden bike. The one he had seen before! "T-That racer! The one at the start! H-He got past me without me noticing?!? But why is he heading towards that forest?" Paul asked himself dozens of questions, each one more unsure than the last. But eventually, he grit his teeth and straightened his knuckles as he hastily abandoned the dirt road and chased after the golden bike, which was now about to enter the forest. Sure, he was done with the race, but he still wanted to know more about certain subjects in it!

While Alex was coming up to the crossroads, he thought of what which path he should take. He was thinking of taking it easy today, since he was injured the other day fighting that assassin. On the other hand, getting further in the race was really important to him. In the end, he decided to take the route through the jungle. It was risky, but if he got through it he might have a bigger advantage than he would sticking to the road.

While cruising through the jungle, Alex would suddenly notice that numerous mosquitoes were hiding in the forest and had infiltrated his vehicle. They then began to lie on his body, ready to drink some fresh blood off his body. He probably should do something about that, since it might be possible for him to get malaria due to where he was. He also wasn't exactly steady there, due to the uneven terrain and leaves blocking his way, but he managed. However, he suddenly felt his bike abruptly stop before he fell down with it a few meters below, having fallen next to a small swamp.

Camille, already packed up, was looking around for Marq. She could have sworn he was there just a second ago. "Heeeey... hey Marq, where did you go? We gotta get a move on..." She looked forward towards Marq, but in her eyes, she just saw a small spider by her feet. She made a look of visible disgust before turning around. "Guess I'll just go on my own..." She gets onto her Vespa, kicks the ignition and begins to accelerate.

Alex got back up and picked up his bike. He brushed off the dirt and mosquitoes and whatever else was still on him, looking around at his surroundings. From the looks of things, he was in some kind of swamp. He'd have to be more careful of things like that next time he decides to take a shortcut through a jungle. After getting back on his bike, he tried to carefully drive through the swamp and head out of the jungle.

As he started driving again however, he would feel his bike suddenly bumping as he noticed a snake stuck in the bike's front wheel, its mouth dangerously close to Alex's leg!
Meanwhile, Paul saw the golden bike disappear in the thick forest ahead of him. He grinned with determination, since he had been through worse during the entire journey and was ready to pass through it without hesitation. After all, he didn't have a race to win anymore. As he entered the large area covered with gigantic trees and flora, he noticed that the motorbike had left some tracks behind on the leaves, allowing him to determine the racer's position. Though it might not even be a racer, since Paul already knew that someone was targeting him and the people close to him and perhaps the person he was following was another assassin sent to kill him. Anyways, while he left his car and started examining the tracks, he suddenly noticed that after a few meters the tracks just vanished due to the leaves being tossed around. It was like someone kicked the leaves in order to hide their tracks.
"Don't move." A strong, confident voice said as Paul would turn behind him and see a short man standing next to him, a gun in his hand that was aimed towards Paul's head. "So, you were the one following me. I don't think it was smart of you to follow someone with a golden car." He said, taunting Paul as he started lightly knocking on the Tooth of Gold. "...Says the one who drives a golden motorbike." Paul remarked with a shit eating grin on his face, presumably confident in the fact that he was in no real danger. "Tch! So you saw me driving it, huh? My best creation..." The mysterious man said as he started touching a nearby tree, before dragging out a bike's handle and revealing that he had hidden his vehicle behind the gigantic tree. "Well, you must know who I am then. Someone sent you, didn't they? They told you to take care of the guy with the golden bike, right?" The man asked, smiling while doing so. "Well guess what? Your plan fell to pieces." And as he said that, Paul would remain visibly confused, scratching his head as he replied to the strange racer. "Uh, no-one hired me to get you, dumbass. I don't even know your name...."
"What do you think I am, an idiot?! Only a retard would believe that!" The assailant said as he strengthened his grip on the handgun. "You could just pretend to forget the name! Tell me one good reason I shoot your brains out right now!" He asked, as Paul would yawn and grab the stranger's gun before he could even blink with El Dorado's arm. "Maybe because you can't shoot me, dumbass." Paul said, as the mysterious man would suddenly step backwards and seemingly remain shocked at Paul's action. "Y-You....Your arm....You have a "spirit" too?" He asked, while Paul would scratch his head for a moment, before realizing what he meant. "Yeah....I call it a "Stand"."

Richy stops at the crossroads. There's a detour which should lead him to the next town, but that's the route everyone else will take. The road will be crowded, and surely it'll take longer than just driving through the brush. Richy liked his car, but he wouldn't mind getting it dirty, might even help him out. The forest though...could pose several obstacles, some even making the detour seem worth it. Richy probably would have stuck with the detour...if he hadn't napped longer than he hoped. He needed to make up time and the risk was necessary.
Richy pulled up Motherlode past the detour signs and headed forth into the forest.

Once he saw the snake in his wheel, Alex tried to get it off, though not very carefully. He tried kicking the snake off his wheel and further away from his motorcycle so he wouldn't be in any danger of getting bit.

Alex kicked off the snake, which would then proceed to hiss towards him, angered by his actions. Regardless of that, it decided to leave and Alex was free to cross the swamp again. Meanwhile Richy would enter the forest and notice fresh tracks on the ground, presumably left by some kind of motorbike. The tracks lead north, only to abruptly end, due to the steppe leading to a swamp where the driver's tracks would be covered. It was now up to him to decide what to do with this new information.
Meanwhile, Camille would reach the crossroads as well and would have to decide: The forest or the longer, dirt road?

Alex was relieved to have the snake off his bike, but he thought he should be more careful going through this forest. It may be the shorter path, but it was also slightly more dangerous. Alex was ready to accept the risks, though. He revved up his motorcycle and started to drive out of the forest.

Marq would turn his head, still in his meditative position. Camille looks around, calling for him. Huh? I'm right here, though... Maybe she's just hazy-eyed from sleeping? Whatever it was, Marq merely brushes it off as nothing important. However, when Camille looks down on Marq and gives him a nasty look, he begins to wonder if she's not seeing things right? Or worse, this is some kind of sick joke to mess with Marq! The point is really driven home when she just gets on her Vespa and starts to leave.
"H-hey! Where are ya goin'? Hold on!" He yells out to Camille in hopes that she can at least his already-loud-as-hell voice!

"Wuh...ugh."
CJ peeled himself off of the ground, using a small tree as leverage. As soon as he stood up, he snapped to attention, remembering the imminent threat of a stand attack. He looked up at the sky and realized that it wasn't even nighttime anymore. "Ugh...goddamn stand attack...". CJ got back into his car and drove off, worrying about the effects being unconscious for that long could have on your brain.

Camille was actually rather hasty, as she felt like she had been wasting time. She quickly rushes ahead on the path, not looking behind her. For a second, she felt like she heard a voice... but she didn't give much more thought to it. She went down the dirt road, nearly running over a turtle in her speed.

"Whaaaaat?! Come oooon!" Marq raises his fist in the air, almost not being able to believe what was happening! Camille was totally ignoring Marq! Well, this won't stand for long! He spots his Shockwave, and dashes onto it, starting it up. A loud screech is followed by Shockwave's engine singing the sweet song of speed, and he follows after Camille!

"I reckon going the way not obscured by forest was the bloody obvious choice. I believe I'm fast enough, and no way in hell was I gonna go through that forest. I may have powers, but who knows what other freaks are out there? I will only resort to danger if need be or if I need to help someone, but till then, i think I'll run on!" Reuben thought to himself. He sped down the path of the road believing he can win. "I can't see many on this route; I can't believe they'd take the forest, they must be confident of their powers, or might not even have powers at all, might just be idiots. Oh well, I never got to know them well so I feel indifferent. That forest looked darn sinister to me!"
