Platinum Sky II - Chapter 2: Unpredictable - Episode 3

Amid the air turbulence, Nicholas begins to pick up speed. Cathy, seeing that his large vessel is so much more resistant to wind than hers, latches on with a grappling hook. The first gauntlet of the race nears its end with Meteon, Maddie, Fehr, and (Captain) each trying to pass each other at the front.

Commentator: Okay, let me get back in the saddle here...

Commentator: We'll be moving from wildlands to rocky ground real soon, everyone!

Commentator: And coming out of the sandstorm now is... Gigante Saucer!

Nicholas: It was a slow start after all... I guess ramping up speed's not easy with a ship of this mass.

Nicholas: But now that it's properly warmed up, I can stop playing catch-up! System standby!

Commentator: Would you believe it's not even flinching in the midst of all that turbulence!

Cathy: Well, well... I suppose a bit of wind wouldn't bother you when you're that big.

Cathy: Mm, I like a strong ship. Care to keep me company for a while?

Commentator: My, my, my! What did we just witness!

Sierokarte: Smokin' Cathy latched onto Gigante Saucer with a grappling hook.

Cathy: Haha, let's make this date a fun one.

Commentator: I've never seen anything like it, but it's one clever way to get through punishing air currents! Now that's sssmokin'!

Sierokarte: Machine control becomes that much harder in this area.

Sierokarte: Having the stable Gigante Saucer do all the work for you is a pretty smart move.

Commentator: Does Gigante Saucer's pilot even realize that another ship's tagging along for the ride?

Nicholas: Hm? Is the ship slightly off-kilter? The tech's still a work in progress, so a few minor adjustments ought to do the trick...

Nicholas: There! Much better! Good to know my adventures in buoyancy and locomotion weren't wasted!

Nicholas: To be more specific, the repulsion field generator on the ship's underbelly allows the vessel to stay afloat, while any surplus energy works to counteract wind resistance.

Nicholas: Simple enough, right? Hahaha! I bet we've got the best functionality in the house, Doc!

Commentator: Nope! He doesn't notice a thing!

Vyrn: Phew! This turbulence gets me every time!

Lyria: But at least we're doing better than yesterday!

Vyrn: That's for sure! Let's just take this nice and easy!

Commentator: Now back to the front-runners!

Commentator: Blue Orbit still has the lead, with Beokaiser hot on its heels.

Commentator: Further behind them are Lightning Violet and Nightcypher!

Commentator: Every machine on the track looks to be keeping up the pace.

Commentator: The air currents around this rocky stretch are supposed to be really rough...

Commentator: But the racers sure aren't showing it!

Sierokarte: They each have a unique way of handling it. Meteon gets by with his extraordinary piloting skills.

Sierokarte: Maddie uses the weight and power of his machine to just cruise through it all.

Sierokarte: Our resident skyfarer, (Captain), has an uncanny knack for overcoming the most impossible of odds.

Sierokarte: Fehr manages by staying remarkably calm and collected—despite this being his first race.

Meteon: I can't believe Maddie's still picking up the pace under these conditions!

Maddie: I know exactly how you fly, pretty boy. And I'm gonna enjoy edging you off the course!

Meteon: Hah, good luck trying!

Meteon: Though honestly, I'm too focused on just getting through this turbulence right now to give a damn about you.

Commentator: They're still in their first and second positions, but Beokaiser keeps up the pressure!

Commentator: And it looks like there's a new development behind them!

Fehr: Urgh... I can't shake them off!

Vyrn: Nice work, (Captain)!

Lyria: Now we just have to keep it up!

Commentator: Slowly but surely, Nightcypher is inching into third place!

Djeeta is the Main Character

Fehr: I have no intention of losing to someone who's not even a racer.

Commentator: Or maybe not! Because Lightning Violet's not gonna have it!

Fehr: ...!

Nicholas: (Captain)! I finally caught up!

Vyrn: Whoa! It's Mecha-Nick with his ginormous machine!

Lyria: S-since when?

Commentator: Gigante Saucer takes us all by surprise, getting ready to join the leading pack!

Nicholas: Once I've accelerated, there's no stopping me! You'll see!

Lyria: Eep!

Fehr: Wha!

Commentator: Cheese and crackers! It just zoomed past both ships!

Vyrn: Rgh! Whoa! The shaking's getting worse!

Fehr: Darn it!

Commentator: Nightcypher and Lightning Violet are left in the dust...

Commentator: And now both machines are trembling violently!

Sierokarte: Gigante Saucer passing through must have really disrupted the air currents.

Commentator: Boy is that one heck of a saucer! It didn't just overtake them—it's widening the gap!

Nicholas: I'm going for the grand prize!

Maddie: Huh? This might actually be some decent competition.

Commentator: Beokaiser's slowing down. Wait... Is it getting ready to attack Gigante Saucer?

Maddie: Speed alone's not gonna get you very far!

Maddie: Hah hah!

Nicholas: Ngh!

Commentator: Beokaiser goes in hard on Gigante Saucer with a tackle! Mad Maddie does it again!

Commentator: That saucer might be "gigante" all right, but it's nothing that good ol' heavyweight Maddie can't handle!

Sierokarte: Even without his man-machine fusion system, his strength and maneuvering really shows.

Nicholas: Haha... That guy's a real juggernaut... I thought I did my research, but apparently I've still got lots to learn!

Nicholas: But any good engineer learns to expect the unexpected! That's why I've got the perfect backup plan in place!

Nicholas: Gigante Saucer, transform!

Commentator: Holy smokeronie! What are we seeing!

Commentator: The Gigante Saucer's taking the shape of a man!

Maddie: Hahahaha! That's more like it! Try to keep up, yeah?

Nicholas: I learned a thing or two from seeing how you race, Maddie! Hraaagh!

Commentator: I can't believe my eyes! I don't think I've ever seen a speedship battle this intense!

Commentator: I'm so excited I can barely hold on to the edge of my seat!

Sierokarte: Haha. Yeah, that really is something. Looks like fun.

Commentator: Why, aren't you awfully calm!

Commentator: Where's your sense of adventure, Sierokarte!

Commentator: Then again, I'd be pretty surprised if you suddenly jumped on the table and started cheering the racers on.
