The racers were on the best behavior. They careened through the Mute City streets with skill and precision and dazzled the crowd. It appeared the crisis F-Zero had over the past few days might actually be behind them. But it wasn't. Racers still knew that evil lurked among them. And then it suddenly occured to some, what if the evil had been in front of their faces all along? What if the head of this mafia evil was none other than the self-proclaimed king of evil, Black Shadow aka Stevey? And so some some racers took a chance and starting ramming his craft. It didn't seem like it would amount to much but since crafts were getting banged up all around, in the end it was enough. In fact, it was Micheal Chain who delivered the final blow. He smashed Black Shadow from behind and sent him and his craft, flying forward. It was just at that moment that a Trans-Dimensional warp opened up and four massive people came through fighting one another. One of them looked like a giant Captain Falcon. But that couldn't be. Captain Falcon had died, hadn't he? Regardless, Black Shadow crashed into him, sending him flying away until he was just a spark in the sky. The impact stopped Black Shadow's craft completely. This was unfortunate as behind him came the rest of the racers. They blowed into Black Shadow and the other three fighting giants. One huge monkey that might have been a relation to Billy if Billy wore a red tie, grabbed a hammer that appeared from no where and started swinging it wildly. He hit the other two giants and crushed Black Shadow's craft, with Black Shadow in it. Then, another giant, this one looking like some terrifying relative of BioRex, began to blow flames at the other two giants, stopping them in their tracks and burning them. Unfortunately, the flattened Black Shadow and his flattened craft was between this lizard king and the other two giants and got a majority of the flame also. Then, suddenly, the ground lifted up from under the giants and raised itself above the track. Sadly, Black Shadow and his craft were lifted along with it. The giant monsterous turtle was caught unready for this and moved too slow to get on the track in time. Instead, it bounced around in pain until it too disappeared in the air with a spark. The ape giant began swinging its fist to get ready for a powerful punch. The other giant who some swore looked like a fox dressed up as James McCloud, grabbed a little red ball and threw it. From this ball, emerged a giant yellow bird that uttered the word Zapdos and then began shooting electrical waves everywhere. As you may have guess, Black Shadow took the full brunt of this. Then, the bird suddenly departed. The gorilla had moved out of the way of this fearsome attack and had finished winding up his arm. With a fearsome yell, he unleashed the full fury of his punch and hit the giant fox, smashing through whatever still remained of Black Shadow and racer to reach the fox. The force of this punch sent the fox flying through the air until he disappeared in a spark. It also sent the remains of Black Shadow and his racer all over Mute City. Then, everything stopped for one moment. Words flashed in the skying saying "Player 3 victorious". Then, the ape and words disappeared and time flowed naturally again. Looking through Black Shadow's belongs after the race revealed that he was a regular racer or townie.. No, I'm just kidding. They revealed Black Shadow to be the Godfather of the Legends Mafia. The racers had struck a good blow against their mafia foes. As for the race, James McCloud made good on his vow to do better after the Big Blue incident and placed 18th instead of last like usual. So, there were plenty of celebrations.
There was even more good news after the race. As the racers were packing up to go on to the next world and circuit, news went out that a mafia hit by the MaxVelocity Mafia failed. Appearently, they had injured a racer enough that they thought he was dead but a townie doctor arrived at the scene before it was too late and was able to save the racer. He then took the racer with him and protected him during the night. Finally, the mafias were being thwarted.
Race officials were worried about the race still. After all, even if Black Shadow wasn't liked, it was still another death. But, in the end, they felt that it didn't seem to be caused by any racers and was about as freak an accident as could occur. So, they hired Digi-Boy who wasn't racing, to work on making sure the temporal and spacial anomolies were taken care of so that this wouldn't happen again. So, with Digi-Boy working on fixing the universe, the race went to Areopolis, seemingly on track for the first time. However, a problem they thought had been solved resurfaced.
Before the race began, Micheal Chain aka TVMan was talking to a bunch of high ranking Bloody Chain members. "So, for my next victory, I want you to put alot more bling around my throne. And I want someone to pimp my ride. Oh, also, I want ..." Micheal's voice trailed off. Another racer had come in to his docking bay. "I have no business with you," he snapped. "You know, you make an awful gangster. What next, fo'shizzle in the hizzle. You don't know a thing about being a gangster. And quite frankly, I have to end this sad charade of yours. I can't take it anymore," said the racer. And with that, the racer swiped at Micheal Chain's head and knocked off his sunglasses. The glasses fell to the floor breaking. "If you're going to kill me, kill me!," yelled Chain, "But there's no reason to torture me first." And Micheal Chain began crying as he bent over to pick up his broken sunglasses. "I can't stand when a victim cries. No I have to kill you," said the racer. And with that, he grabbed the chain around Micheal Chain's throat and began squeezing and tightening it. Chain slumped to the floor dead. Rummaging through Chain's stuff yielded nothing of interest. Micheal Chain was just a regular racer or townie. And then the killer left the scene of the crime.
However, the killer did one other thing. He sent a note in the guise of Micheal Chain, sayingt that Micheal Chain was dropping out of the race because he had business to take care of and he felt responsible for what happened to Black Shadow. Race officials were to busy to check the authenticity of the note so they just took it at face value. And thus, no one realized that there was a new killer at first. And as the racers got ready for a new day, no one was surprised to see Micheal Chain wasn't there. Still happy about their success, the racers began to wonder if they might be able to finally stop these mafias after all. One thing was for certain. They hadn't started off a race in this good of a mood for awhile. Yet, as they peeled away from the starting line, many wondered how long this feeling would last.
