CHAPTER 33 A FEW MONTHS LATER… Kendall revved his hovercyle over the ruins of New Eaton. He was traveling so fast, the cycle left a trail of light behind it. “Ha ha haaaa, how do you like me now?” he cried. Several hovercycles caught up to him. Brocc. Celerity. Frank. Lara Stella. Geoffrey. “I invented these things, you know!” Geoffrey shouted, edging ahead. “Aww, naw, you ain’t gonna beat me!” Kendall said, taking the lead. “Nice driving, Kendall,” Brocc said. Ahead, Mint and Graeme sat on a hovercycle, floating over a dilapidated factory. They waved a flag. WHOOSH! Brocc passed them first. “Once a winner, always a winner,” Brocc said. Everyone slowed down and circled up. “Okay, but I gotcha next time,” Kendall said. “Better believe that!” He looked down at the rubble.
