The race was tight again. There had been a few bumps to other racers but officials made sure the racers kept things pretty clean during the race. As such, there seemed to be little activity among the racers. But after awhile, people began to get more annoyed with Lily Flyer aka Bill. They were getting upset with the way she taunted them and kelt claiming to be a part of the mafia out to get them. Perhaps she hoped the reverse physcology would work with the other racers and they would just leave her alone as a harmless irratent. But alas, it got to be too much for the racers to handle. So, finally, a few racers smashed into Lily's racer and gave it some crippling blows. No longer able to handle top speeds, the machine began to slow down and other racers passed her. One racer slowed down for a moment to taunt Lily. This is just what the Suicide bomber wanted. He had planted a time bomb on Lily's racer and now he set it off. The explosion was so devestating that it destroyed the glass tunnel they were in. Water came pouring in with machines crashing into the liquid barrier. It was complete and utter chaos. Officials and rescue workers immediately went to the scene, saving racers and salvaging crafts. But Lily and her racer were never seen again. It was presumed they sank to the bottem of Big Blue where they were crushed into oblivion. Other racers who had already finished the race, watched in horror at the unfolding events, thinking how close they were to being blown up. However, one racer had no desire to stick around. He was all to familiar with death since he was a killer himself. He went off to Lily's docking bay. He went rummaging through her things to find any important info she might be hiding. But that was nothing to be found. Lily was just a regular racer or townie. She did leave one note. "If you're reading this, it's because I'm dead and you all suck. Honestly, you racers are causing more death than the mafia members are. Plus, you killed Billy. And he was my special sweetie pie. Oh Billy, how I will soon be in your sweet embrace. So, yeah. Good idea guys. In order to stop the killing, let's kill people even though we don't know who to kill." Bio Rex put the note down. Well, I like the idea, he thought.
At the hospital, two racers were in serious condition after the explosion. The first was Super Arrow aka Mario. His racer had been right beside Lily. Racers fished him out of the water and learned the horrible truth. He was wearing Mrs. Arrow's clothes. Appearently, they did dress up as one another. Super Arrow muttered something about the fact that they were the only clean clothes he had in the house since Mrs. Arrow died and he didn't know how to do laundry. None of the racers really believed him except for James McCloud. "Makes perfect sense to me. I know that's happened before where my wife hasn't cleaned my clothes and there's nothing else to wear." No one believed that either. Except Baba. But he's not even in this race. He's at home, painting his nails. As it was Super Arrow was transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced alive. But that hospital makes a lot of mistakes, so they sent him to a better one where he was correctly pronounced dead. Fishing Super Arrow's racer out of the water allowed officals to examine it. Inside, they found a hit list of other racers and learned that Super Arrow was the Bounty Hunter who had been killing all the mafia racers lately.
Meanwhile, the Legends Mafia had set up a huge elaborate death trap. They were going to capture Super Arrow and completely destroy him. It was great. It had saws and guns and a shrinking machine and tank full of sharks with laser beams on their heads. I'd better not forget the ultimate terror device. They were even going to chain Super Arrow to a table and make him listen to Barney the Dinosaur sing for 5 hours! That's just not humanly possible. But then, the Legends Mafia learned that Super Arrow died in the accident. Well, that was just not acceptable. So, they kidnapped his body and forced it through the death trap. When the other racers found the mutilated body, they were disgusted. The mafia couldn't even let the dead rest in peace. Still, they could appreciate the death trap. Too bad it wasn't able to be used to it's full potential. The racers will always wonder what happened to that body.
There was another racer who was injured in the timebomb. Beastman aka Nyladrin was also critically wounded. He was taked to the hospital but doctors knew they couldn't do much for him. He had lost his costume. So, he made out his will. Then, he made a confession. With his last ounce of strength he wrote: I have been living a lie. For years, I have told people I battled a giant crocodile. Well, I didn't. I was in a swimming pool and someone threw a plastic alligator on top of me. I freaked out and tore it to pieces. People who were watching said I acted like a crazed beast. They started calling me Beastman and ran me out of civilization. The truth is, I can't fight any beast except for the stuffed animal kind. I mean, look at my costume. There's no way that's a real animal. Now my costume is gone and I have no identity left. No reason to live. Plus, I've been critically wounded. Goodbye World. If only I could have become something other than a regular racer or townie. Instead I'm just a bum.
Word soon spread that BeastMan had died. BioRex aka Crimm was chugging down his fourth beer when he heard the news. "What? Nooooooooooooo!" he cried and ran to the hospital. There he found the lifless body of Beastman. "It was I that was supposed to have killed you," he cried. "I refuse to believe your dead." And with that, he unleashed his animal savagry on the lifeless Beastman until his taste for blood was over. Then, he staggered out of the hospital to the docking bay of his racer, where he slumped himself in the cockpit to sleep. However, someone was waiting for him. "Is it true you entered the race so you could win money for mammoth ribs? That has to be the stupidest thing I ever heard. Even more stupid than the fact that a dinosaur could be hatched, given intelligence and be free to race a machine at 1000mph," the figure said. "Watch you mouth you!" shouted the bloody Bio Rex, "I'm a killer and I'm very upset right now." Oh, your a real killer alright!", retorted the figure, "Killing that dead man in the hospital must have been a real challenge." "Hey, I've killed Billy and Captain Falcon," yelled BioRex, "And now I'll kill you!" "You killed a stupid monkey and from what I've heard, Super Arrow did most of the work on Captain Falcon before you came, said the assailant. With that BioRex stumbled towards the figure, his jaws snapping.
But as he weaved towards the shadowy figure, the ground gave out beneath him. It was a trap! BioRex fell down a long chute until he ended up at the start of the Legends Mafia death trap. Appearently, they decided it was to much work to dismantle it. But since the death trap was pretty much spoiled earlier in the story, we'll just skip going through it all and go to the end. There BioRex faced him greatest natural enemy, the dinosaur Barney. "I love you, you love me," sang Barney. "No, I hate you," BioRex yelled, "I'm a killer. I hate everyone." But it didn't matter, 5 hours later BioRex's ears had bleed all the blood out of his body and his brain had exploded. That was the end of the killer. Or was it?
Back at BioRex's docking bay, the figure went was busy searching through BioRex's materials. The attacker found all of BioRex's weapons and documents on other racers and their weaknesses. A perfect record for a killer. Heck. It was just something to tempting to ignore. Why not kill to get the grand prize, thought the attacker. Plus, I have no real attachment to these people. I've always been kind of a drifter. So, the drifter snuck away, ready to take the Killer's place.
Even though it had been a disaster, officials believed the worst was behind them, two racers who had killed other were dead. Since they didn't know about the mafias, it seemed the problem's had been solved. They were troubled by the bomb attack but figured it had to be a lunatic fan. No actual racer would do that. And so, the race continued on to Mute City. Hopefully it wasn't too late to salvage the F-Zero Organization. But they were wrong! And the days events would soon prove this.
