Alex would drive in the vast swamp hidden within the forest, still frustrated after his encounter with mosquitoes and a snake. After a while however, he would notice that as he continued driving the swamp started getting deeper and deeper. It was possible that he would have to drag his bike on foot after a while, since if the swamp planned on increasing in depth then he would be unable to drive there. However, he also noticed that there were various patches of land mixed with the swamp water and that they strangely formed a path, like stepping stones. If he took his bike there and used that path, he might even be able to make it in record time. Alex however also noticed that some parts of the earth were strange, since they looked all green and spiky. Maybe African soil was just weird.
Camille and Marq would proceed to enter the forest as well and Camille would too notice some tracks on the ground, presumably left by a bike. She would also see Richy in the distance, he too having seen the peculiar tracks. Meanwhile, Bane would pant and cough as he tried his best to reach the duo with the speed of a healthy goat, but managed to catch up to them, even if he was a few minutes late. He took another vantage point from a hill, looking at the two with his watchful eye, ignoring the forest's vegetation and concentrating only on the moving beings inside of it. "Huff....That took a while, but I'm here....That Marq guy is still gonna look like a spider to that girl for now, but it doesn't seem like she cares much about it....." He thought, before he suddenly noticed a snake crawling in the forest: The same one that had attacked Alex before.
In ancient times, goats have been known as "Snake-eaters" due to the old inhabitants of the Earth believing that a goat would mercilessly kill and eat a snake out of hunger. In reality, while goats do have a large appetite, they are completely terrified of snakes. However even modern farmers still believe that goats act as a deterrent for snakes, thinking that it will protect their livestock from snake bites or poisoning. This tactic is still commonly used in Africa due to the lack of options, but is surprisingly effective since snakes will avoid attacking pens with roaming animals in them, such as goats, perhaps explaining why people believed the goat to be a protector of livestock, due to it being a common farm animal.
In that moment, Bane started reliving certain memories about his life!
"I remember now....My dumb owner thought that snakes would be afraid of me, but a big one came and crashed the pen with no survivors. All chickens were killed and eaten, but it became so fat it couldn't leave, so my owner found it and killed it. Guess getting caught wasn't part of his plan." He thought, as a wicked grin appeared on his face. "But this gives me an excellent idea! If you won't be afraid of spiders, maybe a snake will help that?!" Imagine then appeared beside Bane, one of its sunflowers glowing with intensity. "Now! Turn those leaves around her into snakes!" Bane sheepishly yelled as his Stand would target some leaves in the forest with a ray of light, causing Camille to now see the leaves around her as giant snakes. "Yes! They're big too! It worked! Now she'll be completely terrified! Maybe she'll even have a heart attack and die! I am certain! I am winning!" Bane felt an exhilarating feeling inside of him as he started stomping the ground. "Humans inferior! Goats superior!"
Meanwhile, as Reuben was driving on the dirt road, he would notice a strange man lying in the grass a few meters ahead of him. The man was seemingly trying to camouflage himself while looking at something distant, presumably the forest. But why was that man doing such a weird thing in the middle of nowhere? It's not like Reuben had reached an important place or landmark or something.

"A "Stand", huh?" The mysterious man said as Paul would slowly nod. "Yeah, what I just said. If you can see it, you have one too, right?" He asked while pointing at the man, whom looked a bit shocked by the reveal. "....Mmm, yes. I have something like that....That still doesn't change the fact that you might be an assassin." The man glared at Paul, whom would sigh in response. "Like, look man. How the hell am I supposed to convince you that I'm not out for your head? Do I have to pinky swear or something?" Paul said as he raised his pinky finger and started waving it around, mocking the man's paranoia. "....Well, I didn't plan on killing you anyways. That gun you have there isn't a gun for example." He said with a shit-eating grin as he pointed at the gun. Paul looked at it with a strange gaze, before pulling the trigger and seeing a small flame emit from the barrel. It was just a lighter shaped like a gun.
"But you were dumb enough to fall for it. I just planned to extort information from you and then give you to the authorities or knock you out, but it looks like I won't have to do this: Now that I think of it, you don't really seem like the "killer" type." The man then yawned and took out his bike, planning to leave. "Hey, wait! I saw you before though! You're that asshole who shows off his golden bike every single time like you're at the top of the world or something! And what the fuck are those?!" Paul shouted as he pointed at the various graffiti and insignia on the golden bike, saying words like "MIKE IS THE BEST" or "MIKE IS THE BOSS". "What is that disgusting crap?!? Why would you ruin your own bike like that?!?" The man would then look visibly irritated at Paul's comments, grinding his teeth with rage. "Look, I didn't ask for your opinion, dipshit, so shut the fuck up. If you don't like it, don't look at it, that's all. Also, you have a golden car as well, and you call me an attention whore?! Fuck off." He said as he started up the bike and started driving away, leaving Paul behind. "What a piece of shit. Assassin my ass. I can't believe I thought that an idiot like him would try to kill me. Still, the fact that he has a "Stand" troubles me.....Could he be a threat during the race? Also, his words about me ruining my bike, my "Star"....They are so familiar."
Suddenly, the man would be approached by a golden car, driving right next to his bike. "Hey, asshole! Don't you mess with me you piece of shit! I've been fixing cars for a lifetime! If I say that a car is shit, then it is shit! You got that?!" Paul screamed, viewing his opinion on vehicles above others. "Also I'm really tired about calling you a little shit, so I'll just call you by name now. Your name is Mike, right? With all that stuff you wrote on your bike, I imagine it has to be Mike." Paul said, pointing at the words on the person's bike. "...Unless you know some other guy called Mike or something. Maybe you have a boyfriend? You certainly look like the type. Shitty faggot Mike!" Paul grinned as he started insulting and mocking "Mike" like he usually would with someone he didn't like, as Mike stared at him in awe while touching his forehead in pain. "T-This guy....I want to punch his face so much.....C'mon, resist. You've almost reached Nigeria, this guy's gonna die of malaria or something anyways." Mike thought, trying to keep his composure as he ignored Paul. "You better remember my name, Mike! I'm Paul Di Anno, the greatest student of the car mechanic genius, Doug Samson!" And as he said that, Mike's face would suddenly change, as if that name was extremely important to him.
"D-Doug....Did you just say you were Doug's student?" He asked with a shocked face while Paul would remain perplexed, but keep talking anyways. "Yeah, him! I studied under him for years! Heh, guess you finally know my worth now, don't you?" Mike's body started visibly shaking as he closed his eyes for a few seconds, before staring at Paul would unprecedented fury.
"「 T. N. T ! 」This race is only mine!" Mike shouted as he revealed to have a rock in hand and threw it at Paul's car, albeit weakly. So weak it couldn't even pierce the glass. "Huh? What was that about?" Paul asked, before he noticed a strange sticker on the rock: A red and blue sticker with a small, cartoonish description of a bomb on it. Suddenly, several rocks started coming out from the original rock at high speed, severely damaging Paul's car! "W-What the hell?! Where did all of these rocks come from?!?" Paul asked as Mike would soon accelerate and leave him behind, while the rocks would keep hitting the Tooth of Gold, originating from the primary rock, the rock Mike threw. "B-Bastard! I don't know what he did, but right now he has targeted me with his "Stand"! I need to figure out what's going on!"

Alex thought carefully about which path he should take. Normally he'd just choose the quicker one and that would be it, but this forest was pretty dangerous. In the end, he decided to take a little more time walking his bike through the swamp. It wouldn't set him back all that much, so he saw no reason not to be careful about it.

"What is this strange man doing? How do I approach him?" Reuben thought to himself as he was approaching the man. "I don't want him to see my power, so I shall "accidentally" run him over. It's the best solution. If he assaults me, I shall drive off!". Reuben did as he thought.

As Alex would drag the motorbike across the swamp, he would suddenly hear something next to him and feel a lingering sense of fear and danger around him. Upon turning around he would notice that one of the weird paths of land from before was now slowly shaking, before it quickly rose up and started aiming towards Alex, revealing to be a crocodile! The vicious creature started scurrying at a wicked pace, planning to make Alex its next meal.
Meanwhile, as Reuben would attempt to ram the stranger lying on the grass, the man would hear the roar of the engine and instinctively jump away, delving deeper in the large vegetation. The moment Reuben would realize the man's roll, he would also notice that he was now in even deeper grass, camouflaging him perfectly due to his size and clothes. It would take some time to find him now.
"Bastard!" Paul shouted as he struggled to avoid the rocks flying around, which had now pierced his car's windows. "El Dorado!" He said as his Stand appeared behind him and opened the door with incredible speed, allowing Paul to see where the rocks were coming from. "H-Holy shit! These rocks..." He exclaimed as the pebbles kept being generated from the original rock. "...Are all coming from the rock he threw! That must be his "Stand" ability! "Multiplying" things!" El Dorado then proceeded to grab the source of the rocks with its hand, but quickly released it due to the rocks still being generated and flying around, damaging its hand. "Shit! Looks like I can't throw it away like a baseball...." He then carefully got out, avoiding the rocks as El Dorado kicked the rock with lightning speed, sending it flying away. "....Football works though. Now, time to find that asshole and make him pay!" He thought as he retracted his Stand and got back into his car, heading towards Mike's predicted field of movement.

"Dammit!" Alex exclaimed, becoming annoyed by the constant danger in this forest. It was really ridiculous that there were so many things in this forest that were trying to kill him. Alex tried outrunning the crocodile while still holding onto his bike. He thought that maybe if he could get out of the swamp before the croc caught up to him, he could get back onto the motorcycle and continue driving.

"That was a terrible idea! Now I really need to think on my feet. Unless the environment can help me in any way, all I can do is ride away". Reuben paranoidly continued down the route, wind blowing in his face, engine roaring.

Alex would attempt to outrun the vicious reptile's chase, but underestimated the creature's speed in the wet swamp. The crocodile quickly jumped towards his leg and bit it, holding Alex in place and trapping him, like a bear trap. Alex would then feel an intense pain coming from his leg, feeling the croc's humongous jaws exerting pressure on it. Meanwhile, Reuben would suddenly notice on his car's mirror that the mysterious man had suddenly risen from the grass and was pointing a gun towards his vehicle! What should he have done in that case?

"Godammit, I guess there's no way to avoid conflict." Reuben used Black Betty to create an Electromagnetic shield behind him, making any bullet fall. He then sped off on his motorcycle, attempting to run from the pursuer.

Alex felt the immense pain of the crocodile's jaws on his leg, and immediately tried to get it off him by using his free leg to kick the crocodile in its head until it let go. Not the most thought-out plan, but he only wanted to get his leg out of the reptile's mouth as quick as he could. In a situation like this, there wasn't a lot of time to slow down and think rationally.

Camille continued at a high speed down the road, not paying much mind to her surroundings. Today, she was rather focused and motivated, giving her all into the race. For a second, she thought she heard an engine behind her, but before she could look, she noticed huge snakes all across the road.
After the initial surprise, she quickly sought to rationalize it. "Snakes don't usually group up like that from what I've seen..." She thought. "This has to be a nefarious plan... Someone is trying to slow me down by putting snakes in my path! But they underestimate the foolhardiness of Camile Hamilton! The lives of a few snakes mean nothing to me!" For some reason, she thought the intent of the plan was to force her to stop so she wouldn't injure the wildlife. The idea that she should be scared of the snakes didn't even cross her mind. She doubled down and began to go even faster, thinking that she was running over dozens of innocent snakes in the process.

"She's speeding up... and now she's yelling at who-knows-what! That's my thing!" Marq would, in turn, drive even faster than he was before. He doesn't know what's up with Camille at the moment, but Marq is certainly going to get to the bottom of it! "Heeeey! Camiiiiillle!"

As Camille would drive on, believing to be driving through snakes, she would be unable to notice the sudden end of the dirt road within the forest, getting dangerously close to a small cliff and lead to the swamp where Alex had fallen. Meanwhile, Alex attempted to daze the crocodile by kicking it repeatedly in order to loosen its grip. However the beast remained firm, attempting to make Alex fall or drag him into the swamp, where it would be easy to finish him off. No matter how strong Alex was, if he fell in that swamp, it was all over!
"I-Is that girl insane?! Driving through snakes like that, what the hell?!?" Bane thought as he saw Camille vigorously driving past the illusions he had created without a care in the world. A cold sweat then dropped from Bane's hair, whom was a bit worried due to Camille's reactions to his Stand's power. "D-Damn it! She's no ordinary girl, is she? I could understand if she wasn't scared of seeing her friend as a tiny spider. I mean, I saw lot of girls getting scared by small critters, but since she's a racer she must have experienced things like this already. Regardless, I would have understood if she wasn't scared of the spider. But snakes.....She just drove through snakes!" Bane looked worried. His teeth were repeatedly grinding on their own out of frustration, as if the black goat couldn't understand Camille's thoughts. "W-Whatever! At this speed, she'll just fall down into the swamp and her progress will be delayed. Maybe she'll even break a bone or two! That'll help! I'll just munch some grass now in order to calm down...." And with that thought, Bane lightly lowered his head towards the ground, extending his neck a bit. He started eating the delicious grass on the soil, rich with vitamins that were vital for his life. "Ah, the taste of my youth."
Meanwhile, Paul kept driving in the jungle, following Mike's tracks in order to exact revenge on him.

Camille continued her breakneck pace as she continued onwards, still under the impression that she was murdering a ton of helpless snakes. It didn't affect her too much, though. She was mostly worried about her place in the race. "If I lose my first place ranking, will I be able to make the time back?" She pondered this, but her attention quickly snapped back to the road when she noticed the upcoming cliff. She hit the brakes hard, but she was going so fast that she flipped over the handlebars towards the cliff. She rolled several meters and went over the edge, but In a stroke of luck, she was able to grab the very top of the cliff before tumbling down.
"Phew... That was close. But... I can't really pull myself up... Shit." She hung in silence for a moment, pondering her options. Luckily, she saw a familiar motorcycle come up the way. However, she didn't see marq on top of the bike like she expected... still, she called out for help towards the bike.

Marq watches Camille drive so haphazardly, that she manages to tumble and fall down a cliff! "What the...! OH NOOO!" He floors it on Shockwave, and screeches to a halt when he meets the cliff's edge. Thankfully, Camille had managed to grab onto the edge of the cliff, and now all Marq has to do is pick her up! He goes to the very edge of the cliff, where Camille hung, and grabbed her wrist with his hand. "Don't worry! I gotcha!"
