1
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,250
Aquila looked fierce but his eyes were kind.

2
00:00:11,251 --> 00:00:15,224
"Septimus told me of your help," he said.

3
00:00:15,225 --> 00:00:18,674
"My victory will be in your honor."

4
00:00:18,675 --> 00:00:23,019
"Aquila!" Another man came over to them.

5
00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:26,066
His smile wasn't kind.

6
00:00:26,067 --> 00:00:29,334
"How are your horses?" he said.

7
00:00:29,335 --> 00:00:31,687
Aquila smiled too.

8
00:00:31,688 --> 00:00:34,047
"They are ready to race, Brutus.

9
00:00:34,048 --> 00:00:37,475
Melus brought them fresh water from his well."

10
00:00:37,476 --> 00:00:40,302
Brutus' face grew red.

11
00:00:40,303 --> 00:00:42,607
"What about the water I sent?"

12
00:00:42,608 --> 00:00:52,010
"It was unfortunate," Aquila said coldly, "but Melus accidentally spilled it on the stable floor."

13
00:00:52,011 --> 00:00:55,884
Brutus moved angrily toward Aquila.

14
00:00:55,885 --> 00:00:59,078
The two men seemed ready to fight.

15
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:00,957
"Take your places!

16
00:01:00,958 --> 00:01:03,463
The race is about to begin!"

17
00:01:03,464 --> 00:01:07,782
cried Master Antonius, stepping between the men.

18
00:01:07,783 --> 00:01:11,223
Varius held Aquila back too.

19
00:01:11,224 --> 00:01:13,786
"I will have my revenge,"

20
00:01:13,787 --> 00:01:16,938
said Brutus, walking away.

21
00:01:16,939 --> 00:01:22,012
"Enjoy the race, children," said Aquila, and left.

22
00:01:22,013 --> 00:01:26,223
"Are you okay?" Varius said to the children.

23
00:01:26,224 --> 00:01:29,611
Vinnie and Mandy nodded nervously.

24
00:01:29,612 --> 00:01:35,540
They all found seats and watched Master Antonius walk onto the stage.

25
00:01:35,541 --> 00:01:40,011
He raised his arms and the audience grew quiet.

26
00:01:40,012 --> 00:01:43,342
"Are you ready to start the race?"

27
00:01:43,343 --> 00:01:46,128
he asked the huge crowd.

28
00:01:46,129 --> 00:01:51,112
The people cheered wildly.

29
00:01:51,113 --> 00:01:57,000
Master Antonius pointed to the twelve gates at the end of the arena.

30
00:01:57,001 --> 00:02:03,603
Suddenly a horn blew loudly, and Antonius dropped a white cloth.

31
00:02:03,604 --> 00:02:08,616
The gates opened and the chariots came speeding out.

32
00:02:08,617 --> 00:02:14,093
"There's Aquila!" said Varius, pointing to a golden chariot.

33
00:02:14,094 --> 00:02:19,605
Aquila lashed his horses as he raced around the track.

34
00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:23,480
"And Brutus!" yelled Vinnie.

35
00:02:23,481 --> 00:02:26,880
Brutus was close behind Aquila.

36
00:02:26,881 --> 00:02:30,256
His chariot was red and green.

37
00:02:30,257 --> 00:02:34,983
It had a spike sticking out from the middle of each wheel.

38
00:02:34,984 --> 00:02:38,632
They raced once around the track.

39
00:02:38,633 --> 00:02:42,273
Men on the stage turned one dolphin up.

40
00:02:42,274 --> 00:02:45,357
Mandy noticed it right away.

41
00:02:45,358 --> 00:02:48,879
"One lap!" she yelled.

42
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,882
"Go, Aquila!" Vinnie was yelling.

43
00:02:52,883 --> 00:02:57,801
"Vinnie! Let me see the photo!" Mandy shouted.

44
00:02:57,802 --> 00:03:00,210
He handed her the photo.

45
00:03:00,211 --> 00:03:04,761
"We're getting closer to home!" she said.

46
00:03:04,762 --> 00:03:08,742
"Aquila! Watch out!" cried Vinnie.

47
00:03:08,743 --> 00:03:13,202
Brutus was trying to crash into Aquila's chariot.

48
00:03:13,203 --> 00:03:20,288
"If Brutus' spike hits Aquila's wheel, Aquila's chariot could flip over," said Varius.

49
00:03:20,289 --> 00:03:24,408
"Then Aquila will be crushed under the horses' feet!"

50
00:03:24,409 --> 00:03:27,071
"Oh, I can't look!"

51
00:03:27,072 --> 00:03:30,005
Mandy covered her eyes.

52
00:03:30,006 --> 00:03:33,414
Aquila moved away just in time.

53
00:03:33,415 --> 00:03:39,831
Another dolphin was flipped to show a second lap was completed.

54
00:03:39,832 --> 00:03:45,012
"Varius!" Mandy touched his arm. "Thank you!"

55
00:03:45,013 --> 00:03:51,000
The two dolphins in the photo were glowing red as Aquila pulled ahead.

56
00:03:51,001 --> 00:03:55,416
Vinnie was cheering loudly.

57
00:03:55,417 --> 00:03:58,226
Mandy grabbed Vinnie's hand.

58
00:03:58,227 --> 00:04:03,014
"Go, Aqu . . . " Vinnie began to shout.

59
00:04:03,015 --> 00:04:09,994
Then the children fell down the dark tunnel.
