Broom!

Author: Ravox

Yesterday afternoon the 21st Grand Broomrace took place in the Federation. 2 citizens of each country were chosen. They took on the challenge of flying over all countries of the Federation, trying to finish first. Virtua sent in Samurai02 and Ronaldse. They flew the Virtuan V3, a new model, crafted out of very rare wood, that is only found in the Jungle of Nasdaqar. The Cyberian team consisted of Centaura and Bonanza. Geeky as Cyberians are they flew the CybD-9 which featured a fully developed engine working on ion technology. The Digitalians only arrived at the start just in time, with big rough brooms of no specific brand. Their team featured Sugarfree and Y2K.

Everyone wished each other good luck, then a flare lit up the sky and off they were. They started in Nasdaqar and were racing in the direction of Digitalia. As they were getting closer to land, Sugarfree suddenly made a steep dive, and appeared back in the race with a bag in his hands. Everyone knew what this meant; Sugarfree took the shotgun out of his bag and aimed for Samurai02. But he – what’s in a name – took his sword, and with a *zoof!* swift as the wind he reflected the bullet. The bullet hit the tail of Sugarfree’s broom, and the branches lit up. Soon he had to make a crash-landing in the ocean because it was becoming too hot under his bottom.

In all this chaos, Centaura had kept his eyes open, and being the natural born thief that he is, he closed in on Samurai02 and stole his sword. But it wasn’t just a sword. It carried a magical spell and *flash!*, Centaura turned into a fluffy cow. But he was looking so funny, and he was mooing in such a silly way that Samurai02 started laughing so hard he fell off his broom, into the sea.
As the shores of Roebelarendsveen were coming closer there were only 3 candidates left. Again a member of the Digitalian team suddenly dived underneath the clouds. But Y2K just made a pit stop because he was in need of fuel. But he forgot that he was in Cyberia. Cheap and crappy as their gas is, his broom refused to take off again. He then decided to just use his broom as a plank and beat up the shop owner.

Now the race became a heads up battle between Ronaldse and Bonanza. They ascended and descended; spiraled down and up again, a whilst bombarding each other with potiongrenades. At the last moment, Bonanza was able to avoid the heavy fire from trained pilot Ronaldse which was faster on his Nasdaqarian broom, and had more experience too. But that made him ascend very high above ground.

Right when they were flying over the place were once Bathoevedorp was, Bonanza – high up in the sky- had a lack of oxygen and he started hallucinating. But in fact he took a hit from a potiongrenade which made him see what he longed for in his dreams. He was convinced he saw Bathoevedorp and flew off. Turned out it was just El Dorado.
Ronaldse was too far away already, and he flew over the finish in Centropolis as the first and only pilot. Once again the Virtuan V3 team achieved a great victory for the glorious Virtua.

Luckily no one got hurt during the performance. At least not seriously. Sugarfree went home with a burned bottom. The shopkeeper that was beaten up by Y2K had to be taken to the hospital and Y2K got fined and ended up in prison. Bonanza became mad after he found out about the existence of a city consisting more gold than Bathoevedorp. Centaura still looks a little fluffy, but that saved him and Samurai02 because the fluffiness kept them afloat after they crashed into the sea. But other than that no one got hurt. Congratulations to the Virtuan team!
