[He might rethink that hands raised position once he actually gets a taste of Ibuki's driving. See, she drives a little like she would in a video game and while there's only so much damage she can do, she has a few swerves and near misses as she gets a feel for the steering.]

Noted. Go forth, KZ-chan, and unleash your bump of justice!

[That is not sparkling, thank you very much.

But she can see the guy cornering another driver and for that it's pedal to the metal, full speed ahead until they manage to connect - not as direct a hit as she might have liked, but good enough.]

The great justice team does not tolerate bump-related bullying!

[strawberrypenguin]

[Nagisa had been quick to hold onto the front, knowing that odds are if he didn't he probably could have gone flying because what are wearing seatbelts in these things?

When the bump connected he was happy to cheer slightly.]

Or bullying in general, but today it's for bumper car bullying. Bullying is a big no, no!

[creativedifferences]

Damn right! We're a total after-school special right here!

[Even if they appear to have picked up a grudge-bumper now. Ibuki is quite happy to go into bump-to-bump contact and especially if it means they can't pick on anyone else.

Quite what this after-school special would be is an interesting question...]

[strawberrypenguin]

[He already figured Ibuki said unusual things and usually just let them past, but this one he was curious to know what exactly she was thinking.]

What would the after school special be anyway? Also looks like he is coming back for more.

[creativedifferences]

Bump not lest ye be bumped in turn.

[That's not much of an after school special and nor does it make much sense, but that's never stopped Ibuki before.

Besides. She's going to make damn sure this guy learns a lesson about taking them on.]

That or bullies always get what's coming to them. Which in this case is bumping goodness.

[Or badness, because Ibuki's aiming to pin, just as this guy had pinned someone else.]

[strawberrypenguin]

If we do to him what he does to others, does that make us worse or better than him?

[Which was a question he wondered. If you do the same thing for good purposes did it really make one any better.]

I mean it's for good, but still.

[creativedifferences]

Well. We wouldn't be doing it if he hadn't been so mean. So we don't need to feel guilty about it.

[At least that's how Ibuki's justifying it to herself. Besides, it's all in good fun at least in her opinion.]

[strawberrypenguin]

You bring up a good point. We would have never of done it otherwise.

[At least he'll accept it anyway. it was okay before the next bump. He was making sure to keep steady.]

We've been hit, captain. By some unseen force to the left.

[creativedifferences]

Mrr. We'll just see about that.

[She swings the cart around, trying to make a gap even as the unseen force seems pretty persistent.]

Relent, foul attacker! The wrath of the warriors of justice will not spare you!

[This, now, is war and Ibuki won't fall quietly.]

[strawberrypenguin]

[Nagisa is just ging to grip the front lightly. Sure he is thankfully wearing a seatbelt, but still... bumps can move a person. But he was going to be a good friend and keep an eye out at the same time.]

We shall not surrender. We will fight till the end.

[creativedifferences]

[Ibuki does intend to do just that - and she does. Except that the "end" has more to do with their opponents being flagged to return and let someone else on the ride.

Still, never let it be said that Ibuki will fail to celebrate a victory.]

Aha! Clearly the forces of justice are on our side! As they should be.

[strawberrypenguin]

Heroes always beat the bad guys.

[That was at least a victory in there books, but he wondered how long it would be because they were bumped. Looking behind him, he was making sure they were clear.]

No one seems to be trying to get us from behind, but there are many in front.

[creativedifferences]

Well that's fine! We can just do a victory lap and if anyone tries to stop us, well.

[Well then it's provocation and they can retaliate without feeling guilty.]

[strawberrypenguin]

Do you mean going around in a circle?

[Because doing that is like a lap, right and it keeps people from trying to get them... he thinks.]

[creativedifferences]

More like an oval, wouldn't you say?

[Because Ibuki plans on making a full lap of the arena, bumpage or no bumpage.]

[strawberrypenguin]

Okay, more like a oval. But there isn't too much of a difference in shape.

[There is some difference, however.]
