Platinum Sky - Chapter 3: The Race Is On - Episode 2

Beatrix activates the Embrasque Sword installed in her speedship's engine for a speed boost but crashes when the control stick snaps off. Meanwhile Meteon is in tip-top shape, never losing his place at the front of the track.

Commentator: We're back with the Albatro, which has Crimson Spear in its sights now, looking to take Zeta down like it took down Pinky Blah-Blah!

Commentator: Yes, Albatro is trying to make Crimson Spear follow Pinky Blah-Blah into the dust, but...

Commentator: Fantastic! Amazing evasive maneuvering there from Crimson Spear!

Race Pilot: C'mon! Quit ducking and diving!

Zeta: Okay, that's it! Now I'm pissed!

Zeta: See how you like...

Zeta: This!

Beatrix: Grrr... It's not over! Not yet!

Beatrix: Embrasque Sword! Devour the surging karma before me and carve open the path to victory!

Zeta: See you later, loser!

Race Pilot: What the—

Commentator: Wow! Just look at Crimson Spear go! What acceleration! It's ripping through that sky like a blazing spear now!

Commentator: The flames from that afterburner are sure giving Albatro something to think about!

Commentator: But wait! Who's this hurtling up from behind at an unbelievable pace?

Zeta: There she is!

Commentator: Incredible! It's Pinky Bear-Along Blah-Blah again, back from the dead!

Beatrix: Haha! Eat my dust, guys! Coming through, Zeta!

Zeta: I'd like to see you try!

Beatrix: Embrasque Sword!

Zeta: Spear of Arvess!

Commentator: What the heck is going on? I've never seen anything like this before! These levels of acceleration are unprecedented!

Sierokarte: I think they must have fitted their ships with specially tailored weapons.

Sierokarte: They're harnessing their own unique powers to boost their thrust.

Commentator: I see... So it's mystery powers at play, huh? I've seen it all now!

Commentator: Using weapons to increase their own speed instead of attacking other racers. Only this crazy duo could have thought of that!

Zeta: Well, well, nice flying!

Beatrix: Haha, see? I told you I wasn't going to let you win!

Commentator: See the sparks flying out there, ladies and gentlemen! I can tell you: it's getting hard to breathe even here in the commentary box!

Commentator: So it's neck and neck... Or is it? No, I think Crimson Spear is just edging out in front.

Beatrix: No! Not again! No! Come on, I need more speed!

Commentator: And after closing the gap so convincingly before! What is happening to Pinky Blah-Blah?

Sierokarte: Hm, it's the same model speedship as Zeta's, so I think it must just be a difference in weight.

Commentator: Weight? Are you sure? I mean, I know weight does affect a speedship's performance, but...

Sierokarte: Well, yes. You see, Beatrix's ship does have that elaborate paint job. I think that's the difference we're seeing here.

Commentator: Are you serious? She's shot herself in the foot with a paint job?

Commentator: Well, I said she was nuts. Perhaps it's the paint fumes!

Beatrix: Come on...keep going... More speed... More... Uuugh...

Commentator: But is she pushing too hard? Come on, Pinky Princess, know your limits! You're starting to belch smoke!

Zeta: Bea! What are you doing?

Beatrix: Butt out, Zeta! Just concentrate on flying your own ship. You'll be watching my tail lights before long!

Beatrix: Aaargh!

Beatrix: Huh? What? Oh no, my control stick's broken!

Commentator: Look at this! Pinky Blah-Blah's suddenly lost control again!

Sierokarte: Oh dear!

Beatrix: Agh! Oh crap—I, I pulled the damn thing off! It won't go back on!

Zeta: What? What are you playing at, Bea?

Beatrix: Oh no! Ahhh!

Commentator: She's spinning like crazy, look!

Beatrix: Why meee?

Commentator: P-Pinky Blah-Blah... Your memory will be cherished!

Zeta: Gee, Bea, what are you doing?

Zeta: Humph! No! I can't let that distract me!

Commentator: Well, Pinky Blah-Blah may be out of the running, but this race isn't over yet!

Commentator: Of course, no prizes for guessing who's dominating the pack at the front.

Commentator: That's right, ladies and gentlemen, you've got it. And he's definitely got it! Iiit's Meteon in Blue Orbit!

Commentator: In second place is Crimson Spear.

Commentator: Nightcypher is running a close third.

Commentator: In fourth comes Mad Clown II.

Commentator: And zooming in fifth is Kaiser Herrschaft.

Commentator: So the lucky and crazy rookies are having a great race so far!

Commentator: Maddie with his Kaiser Herrschaft in fifth is giving a solid performance, but it's nothing to write home about.

Commentator: Oh, I have to tell you as well, ladies and gents, that the final bets have been taken now on the heats. No more bets, people.

Zeta: If I can just keep up this speed... I'll overtake him for sure.

Meteon: ...

Zeta: Argh, I'm not making any impression on him at all! What gives?

Lyria: Wow, look at Zeta zooming!

Vyrn: Yeah, we've got our work cut out just trying to stick with her.

Commentator: Crimson Spear in second place and Nightcypher in third maintain a phenomenal speed!

Commentator: But the gap between them and the first-place runner Blue Orbit isn't shrinking at all!

Zeta: How does he do it?

Commentator: There's nothing they can do. Blue Orbit is just too fast. Nothing stands in the Cobalt Comet's way!

Spectator 1: Meteon's got it in the bag!

Spectator 2: Go, Meteon! You're the best!

Commentator: So have we seen the last of the upsets? Will Blue Orbit sail home in first to win the heats?

Maddie: It's time...
