Maybe it was the fact that people still resented Mighty Gazelle and his roboticness or maybe it's because people like Captain Falcon and respected the fact they were on his home turf. Regardless, rumors started spreading that Mighty Gazelle was the way to go. But then before the race, it was found that his machine had been tampered with. Someone didn't get the memo and Mighty Gazelle was unable to race due to sabatoge. Instead, he was given a bye and credited a some points.
This threw the racers for a loop. It was so easy to blame Gazelle. Now who would they suspect. Some racers took potshots at Captain Falcon but that was to be expected. He has plenty of enemies. But instead of humilating him on his home world, Captain Falcon was able to live because someone else was angering the racers more. Zoda aka Smoke39 was angering racers over his refusal to act as though there was a problem. But Zoda refused to join in with the rest of the racers. Plus, no one seemed to like the fact that he grew plants that killed people.
So, with the finish line coming towards them, John Tanaka made a decision. He decided to spare Captain Falcon and kill Zoda. He rammed Zoda's car hard to the side. It spun out of control flipping around on the track until it exploded in a flaming ball. Somehow, Zoda managed to eject himself. He ran on to the track, body ablaze. He started to stop drop and roll but never finished. Instead, 30 other racers drove over top of him. Officials are still trying to scrape his body of the track. The racers immediately went through Zoda's personal belongings, looking for a sign as to his intentions. All they found were rejected love letters to Mrs. Arrow and a restraining order from her. It appears Zoda was just a regular racer aka townie.
James McCloud spoke up and said he's like to take the love letters and restraining order over to Mrs. Arrow to let her know that she and her husband wouldn't have to worry about Zoda anymore. More to the point, James McCloud wanted to say that he was the one who stopped Zoda and ran over him more than the other racers. That should show up her husband. All these years and he couldn't stop Zoda. He arrived at Mrs. Arrow's docking bay. There he found Mrs. Arrow, aka 18 Days, lying dead on the ground. She was wearing her husband's super hero costume and a banana peel on her face.
"Does this mean Mrs. Arrow is actually Super Arrow and Super Arrow is actually Mrs. Arrow?" James McCloud wondered. The thought made him quesy. He decided to check the glove compartment of her vehicle for more clues. There he found a note attatched to the steering wheel. It read: "Not a Legend". Appearently, the Legend Mafia was responsible for this. Going through the glove compartment, James McCloud found only love letters from Jody Summers but nothing indicating Mrs. Arrow was anything but a regular racer or townie. James McCloud ran off to tell people what had happened and partly to get away from all the awful revalations he had just learned.
When the other racers learned what had happened, they were outraged. "I was better off not knowing her private life," lamented one racer. But with the banana as their only clue the racers hurried to confront Billy. How dare that monkey harm our men-roleplaying Jody Summer loving woman. They arrived at Billy's docking bay only to find Billy aka Spak-Spang was dead, slumped over a pile of bananas. Looking him over, they found that he had choked on his own feces. But on closer examination, Dr. Stewart noticed found out that this was no accident. "Look! These aren't real bananas. They're actually Billy's own feces. Someone forced these down his throat to make it look like an accident." It appeared there was another killer on the loose. One who acted alone. The racers went through Billy's belongings but it turned out that he too was just a regular racer aka townie like the rest of them. The racers went home dejected, knowing they would never again see Billy throwing his feces at them.
The racers travelled to Sand Ocean dejected. Until some one came to them with news. Another racer had died. This time it was Spade aka Zach. Appearently, Spade had been killed by a bounty hunter. There was a note left by the body stating just this fact. As startling as that was, the racers were more surprised that Spade was a mafia doctor for the Legends Mafia. It looks like the mafia didn't get away clean after all. But the biggest surprise was the revelation as to who was under Spade's mask. Removing it, people finally learned Spade's true identity was Richard Simmons. This sobering thought ended all of the racer's celebrations.
The racers sat in their cockpits, mulling over the days events. They knew that it had still been a good day for the mafia. As the sun of Sand Ocean beat down upon them, the racers sat sweating. But the sweat was not caused by the sun. No, it was the fear that they had to act fast or they would wind up like Zoda, Mrs. Arrow and Billy. And so, the racers waited for the start of the race, knowing it would be one of the most crucial races they ever participated in. And in a flash, they were off. The race had begun and so had a new day.
