In his desire to get faster than he'd ever been before, he was able to tap into a power hidden deep in his body—in his very DNA.
Speed was supposed to come from the legs. It was supposed to be a factor in how much force he pushed the ground with his legs.
But somehow, as he had his hand outstretched towards Lizzie's pouncing position, his body started accelerating at an even faster rate than before. Yet, both of his legs were off the ground. This was supposed to be impossible.
He felt a force from behind him push him forward.
He felt the world turn slower. The blur he saw from before was now crystal clear.
He could see Lizzie's changing expression from a sly smile to a shocked expression. He could see her whiskers vibrate as she realized that he was getting fast enough to catch her before she could even pounce toward him. He could see the red tail behind her start to spin, allowing her to have a burst of momentum that pushed her backward.
