Platinum Sky II - Chapter 3: Upset - Episode 2
Meteon takes the win, with Maddie and (Captain) coming in second and third. Maddie offers Fehr, the son of his former rival Quark, some harsh words before walking off.
Commentator: After a breathtaking dead heat, the results of the top three are in!
Commentator: Coming in third, Nightcypher!
Commentator: Coming in second, Beokaiser!
Commentator: Annnd in first place... Blue Orbit!
Vyrn: Shucks! I guess we couldn't catch up to them after all.
Lyria: We were so close!
Vyrn: Racer Champ's the champ again. No surprise there...
Vyrn: And Man-Machine's still a force to reckon with even without docking into his ship.
Lyria: Yeah. He's too strong for us to handle. And also...
Lyria: It's not just power, but he also really understands races in general.
Maddie: Heh. Nice to know you kids are finally starting to see what a race is all about.
Maddie: Except you're still such goody two-shoes that I can't stand watching you.
Vyrn: Maybe you just see it that way because we have a different approach to racing? Ever consider that?
Maddie: Ugh! You really know how to get under my skin, don't you, filthy lizard!
Vyrn: Gah! I ain't no filthy lizard!
Maddie: Regardless, I've finally gotten my revenge on you. Meteon's next...
Meteon: Thanks for another win.
Maddie: So you like to talk big now, I see. The spirit of competition must be worming its way into you.
Meteon: You wish. But to borrow a line from Vyrn, you and I have a different approach to racing.
Maddie: You little squirts all the say the same thing...
Vyrn: You know, Machine Man, I was actually on pins and needles wondering if you might go on a total rampage again after losing.
Maddie: Eh?
Vyrn: Urk! I mean... You remember what happened at the PSC, right?
Maddie: The bitterness from a loss is supposed to help you grow... It's not something you use as an excuse to just blow up on people.
Maddie: In all my years as a racer, how many losses do you think I had to take to get to where I am today?
Maddie: Even before this guy came into the picture.
Meteon: ...
Maddie: No matter how many times I got knocked down, no matter how depressing it was...
Maddie: I'd get right back up and train twice as hard for the next race, ready to grip the control stick again.
Maddie: That's what a pro racer does.
Meteon: Yep. I'm starting to see that myself.
Maddie: Hah! Maybe you'll get some practice when I finally get to crush you.
Maddie: Hey, you there...
Fehr: Huh? Me?
Maddie: You're not even a racer, just a damn brat. Why are you even here? To see the sights?
Fehr: ...
Fehr: I apologize if I've offended you. I knew this coming in, but it's even more apparent to me now that I still have a lot to learn from everyone.
Maddie: Oh, shut your face already! Your brownnosing makes me sick!
Fehr: ...!
Maddie: You gave up the race in the end. Did you think people wouldn't notice?
Maddie: Psh, I bet you never even planned on winning.
Fehr: I...
Maddie: They say you're Quark's kid, but boy, are you one heck of a letdown.
Maddie: Why don't you just pack up your trashy speedship and piss off already!
With that caustic remark, Maddie squares his shoulders and walks away.
Vyrn: Geez... Machine-Man can be a real meanie.
Vyrn: You okay, buddy? Don't let him get to you, okay?
Fehr: I'm fine... Thanks for caring.
Vyrn: And off he goes... Things are still really tense even though the race is over.
Lyria: Yeah...
Lyria: That reminds me... I wonder if Catherine—I mean Cathy—is back yet.
Vyrn: She hasn't reached the finish line?
Lyria: I can't be sure since we were focused on the race, but...
Lyria: She seems to have disappeared after using that smoke screen.
Vyrn: Maybe she just got lost? I'm sure we'll see her soon.
Lyria: Yeah... I hope you're right...
