Platinum Sky - Chapter 2: Meeting the Competition - Episode 4

(Captain) gets off to a slow start, but quickly catches up with the other racers. When Sturm and Drang pick up Nightcypher with their machine's claw arm, (Captain) somehow turns the situation around and zooms past them.



At the starter's signal, all the speedships zoom off at once. Except...
Lyria: Cough! Wow, so much dust!
Vyrn: Urgh, this isn't good. Come on, (Captain), they're getting away from us!
Unaccustomed to skyracing, (Captain) and company are flustered by the roar of engines and the clouds of dust. They miss their start.
Commentator: What's this? It's Nightcypher! Nightcypher has failed to start, and the gap grows bigger by the second!
Sierokarte: This is Nightcypher's very first skyrace. What an unfortunate start!
Commentator: Yes, this really is a trial by fire!
Lyria: Come on, we can do this! Let's go, (Captain)!
With an affirmative nod, (Captain) grabs the control stick again.
Commentator: Oh look, they've made it away! Nightcypher rockets ahead now, desperately trying to catch up to the rest of the pack!
Vyrn: Okay, now we're cooking! Don't give up, guys! We've still got a chance at this!
Nightcypher flies steadily, gradually picking up speed and closing the gap with the other ships.
Sturm: Here they come.
Drang: Look at that speed...
Commentator: Nightcypher is already closing in on Mad Clown II.
Lyria: We've nearly caught Sturm and Drang!
Drang: Heh heh, now you'll see what true skill looks like!
Commentator: Nightcypher's alongside Mad Clown II, vying for position!
Vyrn: Go on, (Captain)! Just punch right past!
After a brief neck and neck tussle, Nightcypher creeps out ahead of Mad Clown II.
Drang: You guys are good!
Drang: Hey, Sturm, ready for me to bust out the you-know-what?
Sturm: Go for it.
Lyria: Nearly there! We're nearly past them!
(Captain) grips the control stick even harder for a final burst of speed...
Drang: Not so fast, pal!
Commentator: Oh yes, there it is! Mad Clown's trademark party trick, the Mad Claw!
Vyrn: What the—
The claw arm that has emerged from the underside of Mad Clown II reaches out toward Nightcypher.
Vyrn: Get out of its way!
Commentator: Nice job! Nightcypher evades the attack! Impressive flying there from the newbies.
Lyria: Eek! It's coming in again!
Drang: Huh? They keep giving me the slip.
Sturm: Hey, quit playing games back there!
Drang: Okay, okay!
Lyria: Eep!
Commentator: Uh-oh! Mad Clown's claw has managed to grab hold of Nightcypher at last!
Vyrn: Whoooaaa!
Commentator: What the—
What's going on? Nightcypher is suddenly accelerating wildly!
Lyria: Aaagh!
Vyrn: Lyria! Hold on tight! To the ship, and more importantly, to me!
Sierokarte: I think the ship's crew are as surprised as the rest of us. It looks like the claw activated some kind of speed boost or something!
Commentator: Well, talk about lucky!
Commentator: I don't know how it happened, but Nightcypher is blazing ahead now, closing the gap with the front runners.
Drang: Hey, what just happened?
Sturm: You just wait till this race is over, Drang!
Drang: Don't be mad at me, Sturm. It was an accident, okay? An accident!
Sturm: Just shut up and let me fly.
