This is Episode 1 of my TAR Fanfic, please see Episode 0, Meeting The Teams thread before viewing! Otherwise, you will not know who these people are! (I will provide a link to it soon.)

The teams pull up in their ferries, and all teams slowly walk towards Beale Street near Phil. They do not know each other, however, the looks on their face show many emotions. As they finally meet up with Phil, surrounding him in a semicircle, Phil begins to speak.

Phil
"In just a few moments, you will embark on an amazing journey. The first clue of the Race is on top of the luggage you brought with you, what you do after that is completely up to you. There are thirteen pit stops in this race, ten of which are elimination points, if you are last at these pitstops, you will be eliminated. However, the first team at the Finish Line at the last leg will win, one million dollars!"

The crowd cheers as this is announced.

Phil
"Are you ready? Get ready, travel safe," Phil raises his hand and says, "Go!" as his hand drops and the team begins a mad dash to their first clue.

As the teams run, the first team grabs their bags a clue and rips it open several seconds before the others.
