PART: 6.2 Showdown

3...2...1... GO!

The race began, all teams pulled off a boost start and Wyvern propelled themselves into 2nd behind Jenneter who took 1st place lead but Angelus showed a daring look towards Razgriz. The new XAF however was heavier than its FX400 predecessor so Angelus were slowly but surely closing the gap. Thinking fast Razgriz flies over the set of speed pads while Jenneter took the weapon. It didn't seem it was a useful weapon for it was absorbed. But Razgriz took 1st place as the speed pad propelled him ahead, but Angelus were still closing in. Razgriz planned a tactic to help maintain first, the next weapon pad gave him a shield which didn't seem useful.

Wyvern computer: QUAKE!

Correction it was the best outcome for Razgriz, activating the shield the quake passes through him while everyone else was slowed down. Wyvern now had a significant lead over everyone. But suddenly "CONTENDER ELIMINATED: Feisar 0% energy".

Announcer: Woah ladies and gentlemen, seems like our newcomers are a feisty bunch.

Razgriz instantly knew that Falon was turning to violent motives, attacking everyone in their path but for some reason with ease, they were causing a lot of damage.

*Wyvern pit lane*
David: Guys I need a full scan analysis of Falon's ship, I need to inform Razgriz what he is up against.
Sarah: I'm on it, guys give me a hand.
David: Come in Razgriz do you read me?
Razgriz: Loud and clear, the XAF is holding up nicely.
David: Excellent, I know its a heavier craft but it has a trick up its sleeve that I will activate when needed. In the meantime I'm running a scan of Falon's craft.
Razgriz: Understood, I'll do my best, Razgriz out.

*CONTENDER ELIMINATED! AG-systems 0% energy*
Razgriz: Geez two teams down and we're only coming to the end of the first lap! Falon means business.

End of the first lap and onto the second lap it stands with Wyvern in 1st followed closely by Angelus 2nd, Jenneter 3rd.
Falon becomes increasingly violent with each lap with the announcer dominating the news feed with constant eliminations. This race is turning into the F9000.

/lap 40/

Nothing more special happens throughout the race but Falon has now eliminated most of the competition in the race. Quake after Quake and rockets after rockets most competitors have been crushed. Wyvern take a hit from a missile suddenly and Angelus fly by. But Razgriz recovers quickly and gets back in.

Table:
Angelus 1st
Wyvern 2nd
Jenneter 3d
Falon 4th

Razgriz: Come in David, Falon is destroying everything and we only have ten laps left!
David: Hang in there, your doing great.
Sarah: David! we've completed the analysis, check out the data.

David runs to the computer monitor and scans through the data of Falon's craft

-----/ Specs: speed,80 handling,80 thrust,60 shield, 90
Weapon system, 100/-----

David: 100% weapon power?! Geez how did he do that and get some decent stats in other areas to?
Sarah: Wait! I'm getting more info, its a stolen craft!
David: What? let me see that feed!

----/Reported, stolen ship. modified specs design for combat, special engine drive. serial number 2614790 XAF-72/----

David: NOOOO! IT CAN'T BE!!! IS THAT?!!

Suddenly a voice interfere's on the radio, its Falon!

Falon: So you figured it out hey?
David: But that can't be the XAF-72! It looks nothing like it!
Falon: Oh but it is your beloved jet and I think its time to show everyone!

Suddenly a loud static is heard coming from the stadium speakers and the radio's of the last three remaining craft. Falon's voice is heard coming through them

"ATTENTION LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! You wanna see true carnage?! I'll give you a proper dose of violence with a weapon courteously made by my buddies at Wyvern AR!! Thanks David you absolute F**K!"

Suddenly Falon's craft behaves erratically, the colours change and turns into a black ship with binary code running across it. The shape of the craft changes into something widely recognised! The ship changes into the XAF-72 Wyvern and takes ff, David is shocked to see such a transformation occur and now see his beloved project being weaponised. Falon jets far away and turns around poised into an attack position, and then suddenly more aircraft appear behind him. These ships are boasting Crinale liveries as well.

David: NO! He's with Crinale. He stole the XAF for Crinale.
Sarah shouts to the announcer explaining the emergency.

Announer: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN A FULL SCALE EVACUATION IS IN EFFECT. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!

The stands are filled with screaming civilians as the Crinale formation close in. The last remaining three teams on the track stop and return to their garages in preparation for what is now a battlefield! Falon's voice is heard through the speakers again as he erupts with

"THIS IS THE BEGINNING, OF THE END FOR ALL OF YOU! I WILL RULE THIS WORLD!"
