Musashi hops down off the log and, ahhhh, here they are at last. The home stretch lies before them. No tricks, no obstacles...just whoever can cross it the fastest wins. Lucy is determined to claim that victory as no sooner has Musashi stepped off, then she's gone, rocketing herself forward, and giving herself a speed boost.

Well, time to see what she can really do. Musashi won't do her the disservice of giving this anything other than her all. She breaks into a sprint, her strides covering long distances, even with the speed boost Lucy is getting. Soon, they're in a dead heat, and the finish line is approaching.

"Time to...see what you're...really made of...Lucy-chan." Musashi says, eyes forward, between gulps of air as she pushes herself for one last burst of speed...

And begins to pull just ahead of Lucy...
