As opposed to the chapter where Mousse leaves the house without
realizing he had no clothes on....

Argh! Even in a teaser you can find a pun.


One of the bank tellers nearest to the car stood and spoke up. "Sir, I'm
afraid the drive-thru is located on the other side of the bank."

Heh. I suggest writing out 'through,' though. It's not THAT much more
typing. :)

Actually, that's the way the things are really spelled. Just look at any
fast food joint.

Stuntmaster looked on in shock at the two stowaways. "Spridal! Chim Chim!
What the hell are you doing here?"

I think his name is spelled 'Spridle,' though I could be wrong.

Finally looked it up. You were a lot closer than me (Spritle)


"Can I have your autograph, Mr. Racer?"  the security guard asked, pen
and
a piece of bank stationary in hand.

stationery (the word you wrote means 'not moving;' which is probably
true, but....)

Argh! The dangers of homonyms.



A billy club met his helmet in the second time. "My name is Daredevil!
Daredevil!"

Now Speed's going to be addressing him as 'Daredevil Daredevil.'

You have no idea of how sorely tempted I was to do that, but I think the
misnaming gag had pretty much run its course by that time.


The touch of a different button caused twin buzzsaws to extend from their
concealed positions in the front of the car. The Mach 5 only slowed down
slightly as the saws tore through the police cars like they were composed
of paper meche. Stuntmaster laughed hard as he sped past the scene of

That's papier mache, I believe.

Oops. Yep.


Funny comic relief scene. Rather more silly than this series has been so
far. I certainly don't mind, but I hope the series doesn't lose its
serious side.

Nah, it won't. I just wanted to keep up the humor in this thing. It gets
more serious after the introduction of Mousse's mentor. Besides, not every
anime character that wants to be a supervillain is cut out for the job, and
when was the last time you got to see Speed Racer in a fanfic? ^_^

Also hope to see more of this. :)

Hopefully I can have the chapter finished up by next week. This one has
actually been pretty hectic. This was just a quick write up of some
handwritten pages I had in a folder from a few weeks back.

Thanks for the C+C.

P.S.: If you were on the list to preread Avenging, let me know. I lost the
file with it when I reformatted my hard drive and seem to have lost my hard
copy with the list of people.
