Brightfire had picked up some speed and with hit he used his boost talent to shoot forward for a few seconds before going back to his max speed, that put him forward by seven places "Alright!" he thought to himself "a couple more of those and I'll be in the top ten!" during the race he took a look to his right to see the land beyond canterlot it was an amazing sight to see, he then put his focus back on the race as he approached a sign that told pegasus ponies to begin running and not flying... Nemesis looked over and zoomed in to see that the racers were fast approaching his location, his eyes glowed a brilliant red as he turned to the crack on the speedway and hit it one last time which caused the section of the track to rumble and the crack grew bigger.
