Teacher Steve/ Single Dad Billy AU

Part I

There was only one parent left to speak with after Hargrove left, and Steve had been so damn grateful for that. He'd stumbled over his words, lost his train of thought, and fidgeted way more than normal because he'd been distracted.

By Billy fucking Hargrove.

He hadn't seen the man since he'd made a huge scene and burned rubber getting the hell out of Hawkins nine years ago.

And yeah, it shouldn't be that big of a deal to see an old classmate, especially since he's a teacher in a small town now, and should probably get used to it, but with Billy it's different. Because his other classmates weren't responsible for his major sexual identity crisis at eighteen.

No, that particular award went to the blond, earring having, leather jacket wearing bastard of the past. A bastard that still looked like sin on two legs. That made him glad he was behind a desk, because he had stiffened in his pants just looking at him.

Christ.

He can't believe he's here, and that he's apparently the father of his new student. A student that was already becoming one of his favorites.

God, Nancy has been right about him all these years. Steve is such an idiot.

Rebecca Hargrove.

But like…why would he think of Billy? He'd been the last person he'd picture having a kid. He'd been super loud in the locker room about condom use, so it just…didn't occur to him.

She does have his eyes, though, now that he thinks about it. Her dark hair must be from her mom. Her mom.

He couldn't help but feel bad for the little girl, but he was also incredibly curious, because Billy had made it a point to say that he was never married to her mom. And it seemed like he may not have been around every day, so there was probably a custody agreement in place.

He wonders how he dealt with that. Losing his daughters mom and then being completely responsible for her. Must have been hard because he came back to stay with Max.

And thinking of Max. She hadn't told anyone that her brother was back in town. Well, maybe she had but none of them had told him. What would Steve had done if he ran into the guy at the grocery store or while pumping gas?

It would probably have been just as awkward as this had been, but his brain would have definitely shut the fuck down without having a safe topic to focus on.

He would have made a gigantic fool out of himself.

Shit, he might still make a fool of himself, because he's Becca's dad and Steve is her teacher so he will be interacting with him in the future for sure.

Fuck.

This is not something he can keep to himself.

So he puts his grade book and papers away and turns off the lights. Then he hurriedly locks up his classroom and books it to the other side of the school where the sixth grade band room is. He can see the yellow light through the rectangular window on the door.

Thank god Robin is still there. He needs to talk to someone about this. Like immediately.

He doesn't knock, just opens the door, "Robin! You won't believe-"

"Steve." She hisses, putting up a finger before glaring at him and returning to the phone. "Yes, of course Mrs Grant, I wouldn't mind giving her an extra lesson on Tuesdays. Uh huh. Yes. You too. Bye." She ends her conversation and then turns back to him. "Ok, what was so damn important that you had to bust in here like Batman?"

"You remember the little girl in my class I was worried about?"

"Sure." She replies, swiveling in her chair. "The new transfer, right?"

"Yeah, and you won't believe who her father is."

Robin just gives him an unimpressed look. "This is what was so urgent? Some parent?"

"No, listen. It's not just any old parent." He insists. "Her dad is Billy Hargrove."

Her eyes widen, because she knows. She'd been the sole witness to Steve's am-i-gay-or-not panic of '85. "You're kidding.."

"No, I swear. He was in my classroom a half an hour ago."

"Didn't he like go back to Cali after graduation?"

He nods. "Yeah, he did, and apparently had a kid with someone…" he trails off. "But he said Becca's mom died. That's why they are back here, and why she's been so withdrawn."

"Oh, Damn."

"Right? It's messed up."

"Yeah, it is." She agrees. "But that's not all you came in here to tell me." Sometimes Robin is so perceptive it's scary. "So, what are you going to do about it?"

"What do you mean?" He feigns ignorance, because it's not right. He should not be thinking about how great it would feel to have that body beneath him.

"Don't play dumb, Dingus." She scoffs and throws a paper clip at him, "You know exactly what I mean."

He feels the heat rise to his face. "Don't you think it's really inappropriate to be thinking about that when I just found out his ex died?"

"Last I checked your dick didn't have a brain, therefore it wouldn't care what is socially acceptable."

Jesus.

"Ok. Ok. Fine." He sighs and rubs the back of his neck. "There was…some interest there, but it's pointless to even think about it. He's straight."

"As far as you know."

"No, not as far as I know." He frowns and his hands find his hips. "He has a kid."

She shrugs, "So do a lot of closeted people."

"Why are you trying to talk me into this? Even if, by some miracle, he's not completely straight, It's unethical. He's a parent of a student in my class."

"That you've had the hots for since high school."

"So? Still doesn't make it right."

"Well, according to folks around here, what we are isn't right either." She keeps eye contact with him. "And ignoring your attraction isn't going to make it go away."

And that…"Yeah, you have a point." He hates it, but she does have a point. "But I'm still not doing anything about it."

"Fine, but when you come crawling to me a couple months from now, begging me to help you, I'm going to smile and tell you to fuck off."

"You're cruel, Robin."

Again she shrugs. "Maybe, but how else are you going to learn that I'm always right?"

He rolls his eyes. "Why am I friends with you again?"

"I know all your secrets? I'm the only other person that's come out to you? You'd be absolutely lost without me?" She smiles brightly. "Take your pick."

"I hate you." He tells her and opens the door to retreat.

"No you don't!" She calls after him, laughter in her voice.

And no. He doesn't. He could never hate her.

Especially because she's right.

There's no fucking way he'll be able to ignore his attraction.

Steve is so screwed.

Little-K1ng: “like. did the water change color? bubble strangely? make fucked up ender noises at you??”

Maxwell: “i got a scrape on my arm when I was pacing outside waiting for fetch and I dipped a paper towel in it and put it on the wound”

Little-K1ng: “god maybe i am emotionally exhausted”

Maxwell: “it almost fully closed instantly”

Marcus: “...I kinda hope it made ender noises that would be funny”

[Maxwell: “it almost fully closed instantly”]

Little-K1ng: “hUH”

Maxwell: “it healed the wound faster than normal

Little-K1ng: “oh you better hope you dont do that too much and find out once your laurel wilts the wounds just open wtf”

Little-K1ng: “thats like. supremely fucked dude??? thats weird.”

Maxwell: “.....”

Marcus: “...interesting”

Little-K1ng: “if you only used one did you??? just use the one i cut?”

Maxwell: “i wanted to help fetch

Maxwell: “also the bud hasnt wilted despite being cut off a day ago...

Marcus: “....”

Maxwell: “i tried to take em off when it was on my head but it felt like I was pulling out my hair so i stopped and just....”

Maxwell: “i didnt yell”

Marcus: “...”

Maxwell: “i numbed it with ice and grabbed the scissors

Little-K1ng: “well of course not”

Maxwell: “jack saw it as an experiment”

Marcus: “...you talked to fetch?

Little-K1ng: “you told him???”

Maxwell: “no he was messaging her”

Little-K1ng: “i dont even tell him when i hide a pill in some cheese for him

Kim Possible: The Extremely Secret Files-Part 13

Meanwhile, the thug leader was chatting on the phone. Thug Leader: "Thug-4-Less. Pay for 6 hits and the seventh is free."

He listened to what the person on the other end. Thug Leader: "You want us to what?"

He continued listening. Thug Leader: "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. That'd be an unethical contrast of interest."

The person on the other end talked some more. Thug Leader: "What kind of scum do you think we are?"

The other person talked to him again as he held the phone out away from himself. Thug Leader: "Say, that is a lot of bolts. Well, since you put it that way, I suppose we could…uh…undo our previous obligation."

The person on the other end talked to him one more time. Thug Leader: "Excellent, sir. Thank you for choosing…(switching over to the other end of the phone) Thugs-4-Less." Drakken: "Oh, no, the pleasure is all mine."

Elsewhere, Ratchet and the others arrived on the next planet: Joba. They got out as soon as they landed. Kim then looked out at the scenery. Ratchet looked towards her then walked up to her side. Ron and Clank looked out at them from where they stood. Kim: "Wow, this planet sure is beautiful." Ratchet: "Yeah…I agree. Everything here does look quite lovely." Kim: "You know, as we fly to these many different planets, I have become fascinated with the scenery of these alien worlds as well as outer space and so many other things involving them. It's…all of it is so amazing. To travel through space, visit many planets, take in all of this in; it's a huge reminder of how much we have been missing out on from living on just 1 planet. And now, I can't believe I actually have the chance to experience all of this; something that I never thought I would do." Ratchet: "Yeah, you did tell me once that stuff like this has always been like a dream to your kind. Perhaps you would like to come back here after we have finished with taking care of everything, just the two of us. We can spend a lot of that time just staring out at the stars or taking in all of this scenery or anything else you would love to do." Kim: "You know what? That will definitely be on my list of places I want to revisit. I would love to come back here with you as well as go to so many other places. It would be so…um…well…"

They turned their eyes away from each other for a few moments as they both has some feelings of uncertainty towards each other then looked back towards each other and smiled. Ron: "You know exactly what they're thinking right now, don't you?" Clank: "There is no doubt in my mind of what it is that is running through their heads right now. It seems as though they are somewhat in denial and are making many strides to hold back any signs of this notion but they are taking some recognition towards their feelings for each other." Ron: "You know what? I thought of this as very strange at first but I'm really beginning to see how close they are to each other and I've grown use to that. Why can't they just come out and let their feelings out already? They know they want to." Clank: "These kinds of things can be…complex. To express what is in one's own heart, there is no telling what the outcome could be, even if we do believe we know how things will turn out. Give them some time, Ron; they will openly express what they feel for each other." Ratchet: "Come on, Kimberly. Let's start looking for where that shuttle piece could be." Kim: "I'm with you."

They walked back towards Ron and Clank. They then walked along the entrance to the area. Soon enough, the Kimmunicator went off again. Kim pulled it out. Kim: "What's the sitch, Wade?" Wade: "Kim, I've been looking into the shuttle piece on that planet and I have found that there is a complex system set up to reaching it." Kim: "What do you mean?" Wade: "I mean…"

He pressed 2 keys on his keyboard, displaying one image after another of the different areas of the planet as he continued talking. Wade: "That shuttle piece is locked behind an impenetrable, titanium enforced steel door. No weapon in the universe that has been made so far would be able to penetrate it. No firearms, no explosives, nothing." Ratchet: "So, how are we going to be able to retrieve that shuttle piece from behind that door?" Wade: "The only way to open it is with 2 keys and, get this; each one is featured as a prize for 2 events being held on that planet: the arena battles and the bikers' races. You'll need to win both events in order to get that door open." Kim: "So, then we to just enter the arena battles and the biker races, win both keys from both games and then find and open that fortified door? Sounds easy enough." Wade: "There's just one problem: I can't find the door." Ratchet: "What? You can't find where this door is?" Clank: "Is there a specific reason as to why you are unable to locate it, Wade? Did you try locating it via the signal from the shuttle piece?" Wade: "I've tried that, but no such luck. There seems to be some sort of jamming signal from that shuttle piece. I am able to track it on the planet, but I can't seem to pinpoint its exact location. But from what I have found out, it didn't come to me as a surprise." Ratchet: "What do you mean?" Wade: "Well, according to this intel that I have been looking into, locating that door is part of the challenge. They have that jamming single there to disrupt any attempts to track it down with any technological devices. They obviously did that to make everyone participating in this challenge to look for it themselves. Sorry, guys, I would love to help you out with this, but you're on your own with finding exactly where that door is." Ratchet: "That's OK, Wade, what you have provided for us was more than helpful. We should be able to figure out the rest by ourselves just fine."

Kim hung up the Kimmunicator. Kim: "OK, then, Clank, Ratchet and I will head over and take on these challenges. Ron, you go look for that door and here, take this with you."

She handed the Kimmunicator back over to Ron. Kim: "You may need Wade's help more than we do." Ron: "Be careful, KP; there's no telling what will happen to you guys." Ratchet: "I would be more worried about you." Clank: "Best of luck to you, Ron." Ron: "Thanks. Same to you guys."

Ron ran off from the group while Kim, Ratchet and Clank rushed off in another direction.

Kim, Ratchet and Clank found themselves fighting their way through many fierce native marauders and their beasts. It was one very tough fight after another and things just kept getting tougher for them with every step. Kim: "I sure hope Ron has better luck with finding that door."

Just then, Wade's vendor appeared again. A holographic screen appeared above it, displaying an image of Wade, himself. The group was greatly surprised by this. Kim: "Wade?" Wade: "Kim, I didn't know you handed the Kimmunicator over to Ron until just now. Good thing I built this COM link into my vendor." Ratchet: "Uh, hey, Wade. What's the…sitch…?" Wade: "I just built a new gadget for Kim; thought I might transport it to you guys now."

Transporting from the vendor were 2 hand guard-like items. Kim grabbed both them and looked at them more closely. Wade: "I call them Combat Gloves. They're suppose to help with increasing your strength, thereby aiding you with combating enemies better. In addition to that, they contain a highly advanced, extremely durable cushion, so they're also impact resistant." Kim: "So thing is built to deter all forms of pain and soreness within both of my hands and arms?" Wade: "Including tennis elbow." Kim: "Way to go, Wade. You still rock." Wade: "Well…you partially have Ratchet to thank for that." Ratchet: "Me? How come?" Wade: "Some of the inspiration used for building those gloves came from your old wrench. Had you not let me take it, this project would have taken a lot longer to complete, if not at all." Ratchet: "Uh, glad I was able to…help." Kim: "Well, regardless, you rock, Wade. You too, Ratchet."

He smiled at her. Clank: "Um, should we not be attaining towards reaching those challenges?" Kim: "Oh, right, break time's over, boys. Let's keep moving."

Kim rushed off. Ratchet stood beside Clank, looking out towards Kim in admiration while smiling with his hands on his hip. Ratchet: "I tell you something, Clank. I sometimes amaze myself with how much I have made her happy." Clank: "Hm…I find absolutely no misconceptions to that notion, although, I have reason to believe that…um…"

Ratchet looked over to Clank in a confused manner. Ratchet: "Yes, Clank?" Clank: "Uh…no…it is nothing. Do not show any concerns for it. It is something that I believe you and Miss Possible need to figure out on your own. Shall we be going?"

Clank rushed off. Ratchet still stood by, confused. Ratchet: "Uh…what…what were you talking about, Clank? Clank? Hey wait! Clank!"

He rushed after Clank. Ratchet: "Clank, what were you just about to say? Clank!"

They continued on the trail and fought through more tough enemies, which was much, much easier for Kim to deal with now that she has received her new gadgets. They kept on the train until they arrived at a balcony and what appeared to be a dead end. Ratchet: "Great. So now what?" Kim: "Wade, are you still there?"

Wade's vendor reappeared, displaying his image again. Wade: "Yeah, Kim. What's up?" Kim: "We seemed to have reached a dead end. Can you at least give us any info. on how much further we are to one of the challenges?"

Wade checked on his computer for a brief moment. Wade: "Not too far. Just one quick flight South East of your current location and you should be at the Battle Arena." Kim: "Check, we'll head over there now."

Kim then activated her jet-pack, which greatly surprised both Ratchet and Clank. Ratchet: "Whoa! You have a jet-pack!?" Kim: "Yep, comes with wings and the works."

The jet pack then placed a helmet on Kim's head. Ratchet: "It even puts your helmet on you automatically." Kim: "Yep, pretty neat, huh?" Ratchet: "Kimberly, you're magnificent; absolutely magnificent." Kim: "Uh, no big, Ratchet. Let's fly."

She grabbed on to Ratchet as Clank jumped on to her back and they flew off. As they were flying, the jet-pack suddenly begins to malfunction. They were about to lose altitude. Ratchet: "Wha-what's going on!?" Kim: "I don't know! There seems to be something wrong with the jet-pack. Sorry, boys, I'm going to have to make an emergency landing."

She landed on top of a nearby structure and let go of Ratchet as Clank detached himself from her jumped off. Kim: "Wade!"

The vendor reappeared with Wade's image. Wade: "Yeah, Kim?" Kim: "There's something wrong with the jet-pack. I was breaking down as we were attempting to fly to the arena." Wade: "Hm…that's strange. That shouldn't have happened. I'll run a full diagnostic on it." Kim: "Thanks, Wade."

The vendor deactivated. Kim: "Sorry, guys, this must be a huge disappointment to both of you." Ratchet: "Don't worry about it, Kimberly. I'm sure we'll be able to figure out what went wrong." Clank: "But we still need to get to that arena." Ratchet: "I know that. We're just…going to need to find another way up there."

Just then, a shady lizard man appeared before them on a hovering vehicle. Shady Guy: "Hey, yous guys going to the games?" Ratchet: "Yeah, what's it to ya?" Shady Guy: "Whoa! Take it easy there, chief! I ain't lookin for no trouble, just an honest man lookin to make an honest buck." Clank: "I sincerely doubt that." Kim: "Uh, who is this creep?" Ratchet: "Just some guy Clank and I ran into during our previous adventure. I'm not even going to bother wasting my time on introductions with this guy." Shady Guy: "Hey, I ain't the one tryin to get into a sold out arena."

He pulled out a set of large wings from behind his back and showed it to them. Shady Guy: "You're going to need this Levitator to get in there. What say you? Will ya spare a few bolts for it?" Kim: "What do you think? Should we trust him?" Ratchet: "I don't think we have a choice in the matter."

And with that, Ratchet accepted the offer and received the full package. Shady Guy: "Nice doin business with you again. Time for me to…uh…relocate."

The shady guy went off, Ratchet read a pamphlet that came with the wings. Ratchet: "Hm…the instructions are in Blargian…"

He continued reading. Kim: "Oh, no, I hope this wasn't a mistake." Clank: "Uh, goodbye."

Clank tried to run off, but Ratchet stopped him as he continued reading. Just then, he tossed the pamphlet aside and immediately started working on Clank. Kim watched in amazement as Ratchet assembled the newly acquired Levitator on to him. With all of the modifications complete, Clank now had a new set of wings. Clank: "You do have skill." Ratchet: "You know it." Kim: "Uh, forget what you said about me. You're magnificent, Ratchet." Ratchet: "No need to give back the compliment, Kimberly, but I do appreciate that. Now let's fly."

He grabbed on to Kim and flew up towards the arena with a Levitator-modified Clank.

They soon arrived at the arena. Ratchet let go of Kim. Kim: "Alright, we're here, now let's go get that key." Clank: "Hm…I wonder if Ron has managed to find that door." Ratchet: "We'll worry about that later. Right now, we just need to focus on fighting through the battles within the arena until we get that first key." Kim: "OK, then, let's do it."

They rushed into the entrance to the arena. There, they were greeted by an announcer who knew about Kim and Ratchet, even knew their names, but didn't know Clank very well, or at all for that matter. As he announced for the games to begin, Kim and Ratchet were both primed for battle.

It was one fierce battle after another. Enemies came at them at ever corner relentlessly to which seemed as though there was no end to their persistence. Kim was able to hold her own in the battles a lot better than before with her new Combat Gloves.

After the first set of battles was won, Ratchet was able to obtain a new set of shoes known as the Gravity Boots, which would enable him to latch on to and walk on walls. Wade: "Kim, Ratchet, Clank. I need to speak with you guys. Would it be possible for you to take an intermission from each of your battles?" Kim: "Certainly. We can totally take 5 before going back into the fights."

They stepped out of the arena and spoke to Wade via his vendor. Kim: "What is it, Wade? Do you have any more intel to provide us?" Wade: "That and so much more. First off, I just finished looking into the issues involving the jet-pack. Turns out there was a weight capacity issue." Ratchet: "Uh…weight capacity?" Wade: "Yeah, apparently all 3 of you were too heavy for the jet-pack to hold up, so it just broke down." Kim: "Hm…I never actually thought that this would be an issue." Wade: "Actually, it wasn't supposed to be. That jet-pack should be able to hold up a lot more than that. Maybe it just needs some maintenance work. I'll need to look into it some more. In the meantime, I need to get you ready for the next set of battles and it involves something that I've been wanting to give you for quite some time. It's nearly complete, but I just need one more component to this and I should be able to get that from those boots that Ratchet just won." Ratchet: "What? These? Sure, take all the time you need." Wade: "Thanks, this should be too long."

Wade spent a very short period of time examining the Gravity Boot then a little more. After that, he began working on his project. Wade: "OK, done, I'm sending my latest project to you right now."

Transported from the vendor was an interesting pair of attachments for Kim's shoes. Wade: "These are specialized attachments to your feet that are the footwear equivalence of your Combat Gloves. I call them Combat Kicks. They should also include the same functions as the Gravity Boots. You can now take part in those cage matches with Ratchet." Kim: "Oh, Wade, you continue to rock. Oh! And same with you, Ratchet. You are just amazing."

Ratchet smiled at her again.

They returned into the arena and sure enough, they took on a cage match, which was a massive circular wall high above them within the arena. With the help of Ratchet's new Gravity Boots and Kim's new Combat Kicks, they were able to latch on to the massive circular wall. The battles within the cage match were very tough with one battle after another. The enemies had shown to be fierce, relentless and nasty but the duo was able to handle them. The sets of battles were indeed very tough, with each one more difficult than the last, but they were shown to be very enduring, even more so than their enemies and they eventually won.

They returned to the ground. Shortly afterwards, they just stood by as nothing was happening. Kim: "Uh… weren't we suppose to be winning something right about now?"

Ratchet looked around for a bit. Ratchet: "Hm…something doesn't feel right. What is going on?" Shego: "Oh, I'll tell you what's going on."

They both became very surprised to see Shego standing before them. Kim: "Shego?" Shego: "Well, hello, Kimmie and Ratchet. Don't you 2 look positively adorable?" Ratchet: "What are you doing here, Shego?" Shego: "Shouldn't it be obvious? You want to win a key to open some door containing a piece of Dr. Possible's space shuttle. I'm here to prevent you from collecting all of those pieces. So, in short, I came here to make sure you don't win that key." Kim: "If you think that you are going to stop us that easily, then you have clearly undervalued us as well as overemphasized on yourself. Have you not forgotten who holds the record for the most wins?" Shego: "Of course not; the scars on my pride remind me of that constantly, but I assure you that I will even that all up quite nicely." Kim: "We'll see about that, Shego." Ratchet: "Bring it on, she-witch! Kimberly and I won't lose to you!"

They began their fierce fight against Shego. She has shown to be a very fierce opponent to the both of them. Every now and again, she would give off a lot of smack talk to the both of them. The fight went on for quite some time as Shego was shown to be very difficult to take down this time. They were eventually able to defeat her bring her to her knees.

From that win, Kim noticed the first of 2 key gently float down into her hand. Shego got herself back up. Shego: "Go ahead! Take that key! Take back your daddy's space station! It won't matter once this is all over. I'm pretty sure I've provided Drakken all the time he needs to complete his plans."

She then gave off a very nasty sneer. Shego: "And this galaxy has edged it way closer to the worst disaster these people will ever experience. Let's see if you will be able to put an end to both catastrophes."

She ran off. Kim stood by idly as they tried to take in what Shego just told them. Kim: "Does she know something about this terrible danger that could happen to this galaxy?" Ratchet: "Don't let her get to you. Whatever is bound to happen here, we will put a stop to it, and the same goes for what Drakken and Shego are planning to do with your dad's space station. We're going to stop them. We can do it, Kimberly. We will put an end to all of this. I promise you."

They exited the arena with the first key in their possession. Ratchet: "Alright, that's one key down. Now need just need to go for the other." Kim: "I wonder how Ron is doing right now."

At that moment, Wade's vendor reappeared and projected his image again. Wade: "Kim!" Kim: "Hey, Wade, what's the sitch?" Wade: "Uh, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is Ron has found the door." Kim: "Really? That's great!" Ratchet: "But what's the bad news?" Wade: "The bad news is he had a run in with some trouble." Ratchet: "Oh, of course. That's seems very typical of him." Wade: "Um, if it's any consolation, at least his pants are still holding up well this time." Ratchet: "Yeah, let's see how long that lasts." Clank: "Does he need us to go over and help him?" Wade: "Well, at the moment, he needs you to collect those keys. He said not to worry about him and that he can handle this." Kim: "Huh, I've heard that before." Ratchet: "Come on, let's hurry over to the next challenge."

They rushed off as fast as they could. They eventually arrived at the hover bike race. There, they met with another member of the Desert Riders. Kim: "Um…hello…uh…DR biker…we were…uh, wondering…" DR Biker: "Hey!"

He grabbed Clank by the small antenna on the top of his head, lifted him off the ground and examined him more closely. DR Biker: "Nice finish on that chrome. You buff this thing out yourself?" Clank: "I handle my own buffing, sir."

The biker then put him back on the ground. DR Biker: "Oh! Sorry, little man. I thought you were a crankshaft."

He then pulled out a pair of pink, girlish glasses from his jacket. DR Biker: "Can't see my own hand in front of me without these."

He put them on. Kim: "Uh…no big." Ratchet: "So, anyway, how do I enter the big race?" DR Biker: "Well, you got the helmet, right? You're in. Easy peasy. The prize is some kinda key to some special door. I bet there are some riches behind that door." Kim: "OK, Ratchet, you go enter the race, I'll go find and back up Ron." Ratchet: "Be careful, Kimberly." Kim: "You, too."

She rushed off while Ratchet entered the race. The race itself was much tougher than the previous one. There were more dangers and much, more nasty surprises. The bikers were especially much more fierce and relentless as well as more nasty than possibly their bad breaths. Despite everything around that could intimidate anyone, Ratchet handled the race. There were a few close calls; much, much more than last time as to be expected, but he was able to out best his competition and win the race without flinching even once.

He arrived back and met up with the biker, who was hold the last key. DR Biker: "Dang! I wanted to win this key; I would have loved to have what's behind that door. Aw, well."

He tossed the key over to Ratchet. DR Biker: "You've earned it fair and square." Ratchet: "We've got the second key, now let's go find Kimberly and Ron."

He ran off with Clank.
