Platinum Sky II - Chapter 2: Unpredictable - Episode 4

Nicholas battles it out with Maddie. The shockwaves from the clashing of two large speedships sends ripples throughout the track, which Cathy takes advantage of to put up a smoke screen. Nicholas loses control after taking a lightning bolt head-on, dragging Fehr along for the fall.

---

Vyrn: Hey, whaddya think they're doin' over there?

Lyria: Yikes! Even I can feel the shockwaves from all the way here!

Commentator: The epic battle between Beokaiser and Gigante Saucer continues!

Commentator: In fact, it's so epic that the other racers can feel every clash!

Fehr: Tch... The turbulence is already bad enough, but now I have to worry about this?

Fehr: I definitely wasn't expecting this!

Fehr: Can't fly... straight...

Vyrn: Hey, this could be our chance! Those two are so busy duking it out that they won't even notice us passing through!

Lyria: Even though the air current's changed, we should be able to do this if we wait for the right moment!

Commentator: A bold move from Nightcypher, taking advantage of the confusion to pull ahead!

Commentator: Just where does this intrepid skyfarer get all that gusto from!

Maddie: Hell no! There's no damn way I'm letting you get ahead!

Vyrn: Ack! Man-Machine's coming fast!

Commentator: Could this be the start of a battle royale?

Cathy: Impressive as always, (Captain). As for me...

Cathy: Good day, everyone.

Nicholas: Rgh! The heck?

Maddie: A smoke screen?

Commentator: I'd bet a million rupies that was Smokin' Cathy living up to its name!

Fehr: Ugh, what now!

Lyria: Cough, cough... I can't see ahead!

Commentator: I'm counting... five ships caught in the smoke screen, including Smokin' Cathy.

Commentator: But if I'm going to be honest, even I can't see clearly through all that haze! Apologies in advance if I'm off the mark!

Meteon: What's happening behind me! A smoke screen?

Meteon: I can't afford to be caught up in that! I'm pushing through no matter what!

Commentator: Meanwhile, Blue Orbit's revving up to increase its lead!

Meteon: If I can help it, I'd rather not use my second nitro boost yet.

Meteon: Hang in there, Blue Orbit!

Commentator: Get a load of that reckless piloting! But hey, at least it's going faster! Now that's something you don't see from Meteon very often.

Sierokarte: Fair point. Meteon always flies with such perfect form.

Commentator: You think maybe he's got a... tummy ache or something?

Sierokarte: I suppose it could be a feint. Either way, I think this is the best move he has right now.

Sierokarte: Ideally, he'd want to leave a nitro boost for the latter half of the match.

Sierokarte: But at the same time, he doesn't want to get caught in the smoke screen.

Commentator: So even if it meant forcing his way through the turbulence, he just had to get ahead, huh...

Commentator: This is a side of Meteon we've never seen before.

Commentator: As good as the multi-time champion is, he's still young in his years...

Commentator: Hoo boy, this is shaping up to be one heck of a race!

Meteon: I'm almost out of this rocky stretch!

Meteon: Huh? Is that rain?

Commentator: Hm... Looks like the weather could change any second now.

Sierokarte: Yep, it's raining.

Commentator: Goodness gracious, I wasn't expecting it to rain cats and dogs! How does this even happen out of the blue!

Sierokarte: Luckily for the racers, that should clear the smoke screen real fast.

Nicholas: Finally, I can see where I'm going! Now's my chance—

Nicholas: Ergh, I don't like the sound of that...

Fehr: Great, now we have a thunderstorm! Out of the frying pan, and into the fire...

Nicholas: Ack!

Nicholas: Crud!

Commentator: Whoa! Did a lightning bolt just strike Gigante Saucer head-on?

Sierokarte: Oh, that can't be good! Unlike the other machines, Gigante Saucer's made entirely of metal.

Nicholas: Phooey! I need to reset the repulsion field generator!

Maddie: Hah! Looks like I came out on top after all!

Lyria: Oh no! Watch out!

Commentator: I smell an accident waiting to happen as Gigante Saucer loses control!

Commentator: Beokaiser and Nightcypher managed to slip past it, but...

Fehr: Good grief! What is it this time?

Fehr: Ngh!

Commentator: Lightning Violet, on the other hand, gets caught in the mess!

Nicholas: Gah! Hey, I'm so sorry for dragging you into this!

Nicholas: It's not working! Doc, I messed up... Damn it!

Nicholas: We should've outfitted Gigante with some sort of lightning resistance!

Commentator: Welp! Looks like the thunderstorm put Gigante Saucer out of commission!
