Platinum Sky II - Chapter 1: Reboot - Episode 1

(Captain) struggles but manages to keep up with Meteon during a practice run for the upcoming race on Nimmus Island. The two find a pit area to rest up in and talk about how great it is that Nimmus is open to the public again after such a long hiatus.

---

Vyrn: Whew! These are some crazy winds!

Lyria: The ship won't stop shaking!

(Captain), taking the controls of the Nightcypher, carefully navigates through rocky terrain, battling punishing air turbulence.

Vyrn: Watch it! Giant boulder coming up on the right side!

(Captain) pulls the control stick to one side, narrowly dodging the encroaching obstacle.

Lyria: You did it, (Captain)!

Vyrn: Geez, we can't let our guard down for a sec. Racer Champ's already way ahead of us.

Lyria: Meteon goes so fast even when the wind's really strong. See, he's not in view anymore.

Vyrn: We'll catch up in a jiffy! Let's show him what us skyfarers are made of!

Lyria: Uh-huh! We've flown through all sorts of weather conditions in our travels through the skies! We can do this!

Vyrn: Phew! Finally got through that craggy rockland!

Lyria: Great piloting, (Captain)!

Vyrn: Huh? Isn't that Blue Orbit over there?

Lyria: I guess that means Meteon was waiting for us?

Meteon: ...

Meteon gestures toward the outer perimeter of the racetrack.

Vyrn: He wants us to stop?

Lyria: On the other side of that flag is... the pit area, maybe?

(Captain) steers Nightcypher into the pit lane, pulling up right behind Blue Orbit.

Meteon: Good work.

Meteon comes out of Blue Orbit with a smile.

Meteon: You got past the air turbulence like a pro. I knew you could do it, (Captain)!

Vyrn: Hehe, it wasn't too bad!

Lyria: But the shaking was enough to make my head spin!

Meteon: Haha! Looks like no setback is enough to keep you guys down!

Meteon: Not to mention your speedship doesn't have a single scratch on it. Bravo, (Captain). Bravo.

Vyrn: You're more worried about our ship than us?

Meteon: I mean, you guys are tough as nails.

Vyrn: C'mon now...

Vyrn: But it's good we followed your advice and came to take a look beforehand though. Wasn't expecting the racetrack to have rough spots like this.

Meteon: What surprises me most is that you guys didn't even know about practice runs.

Lyria: Well, it was the first we'd heard of being able to try out the course before the actual race.

(Captain) nods at Lyria's remark, to which Meteon simply shrugs.

Meteon: Just when I think (Captain) can't surprise me any more...

Meteon: Anyhow, no matter how accustomed you get to the track during practice runs, it's no guarantee that the race itself will go well.

Meteon: It's not like the air currents are going to suddenly calm down tomorrow.

Meteon: But even then, it's still better going in there with an idea of how things might pan out.

Vyrn: True that. If we'd showed up for the race tomorrow clueless, we might've been blown right off the island.

Lyria: I guess it helps long-time racers like you too?

Meteon: Definitely. Even on tracks I'm used to, I always make sure to do practice runs.

Meteon: Part of it is also to check on the condition of my ship.

Lyria: How was Blue Orbit today?

Meteon: Not bad. I'm starting to get comfortable with the new setup.

Meteon: But for the upcoming competition, that's not enough.

Meteon: This is the legendary Nimmus Course after all!
