We're being hit hard!
This is Roger Buster!
We're being attacked by an unidentified craft!
***!
Who are these guys?
Not good! We're being pulled in!
Please respond!
Please respond!
Uh-oh...
Trick...?
Or treat?
Lap 45: Zoda
What are you planning to do?
Why would you take us hostage?
Please stop talking.
I just have a few questions.
What questions?
They're about a job you took awhile back.
You were given cargo to be delivered to a base on Lightning.
What's in that base?
We don't know.
We wouldn't tell you if we did.
We professionals keep our word.
We're telling the truth.
We were told to put the cargo into a warehouse.
There was no one there!
Draq!
Allow me to check the contents then.
Why you! That's-
Our transportation records!
***, give that back!
That's surprising. You keep detailed records.
Which one?
Combined egg whites?
DNA converter?
Micromachine Biofluids?
Isn't this a trigger from a biological weapon?
That means Black Shadow is planning to...
...create a bio army like that guy.
This could be Black Shadow's weakness.
What's he talking about?
We won't forgive you for this!
We're friends with the Mobile Task Force and Ryu Suzaku-!
Keep your mouth shut!
So you're Ryu's friends?
This is getting interesting.
If the distress signal was sent from around here, why did it stop?
Maybe they're okay.
That would be nice.
It's okay, Ryu.
That's right. Dark Million may not be behind it-
Wait!
We're getting a response!
It's an electronic signal.
Yo, Ryu!
Zoda!
***!
Did you find your friends yet?
Roger! Draq!
Zoda, what are you doing to them?
Roger is a kind man who delivers fruit to children!
They're not connected to Dark Million at all!
That's not entirely true.
They delivered cargo for Black Shadow once,
although, they did not know the truth about it.
What?
Roger, Draq!
What do you gain by taking them as hostages?
Straight to the point I see.
There's a base belonging to Black Shadow on Lightning that they went to.
There are things in there that even I don't know about.
I'd like you to find out what's inside.
I'll release these two after that.
Though it's not really a request.
Zoda, you ***!
You're trying to use us again.
It isn't an evil deed.
It might even benefit you.
I'll leave it to you, Mobile Task Force!
Hold on, Zoda!
Damn! This is definitely a trap!
He's a part of Dark Million and even he doesn't know?
No, Black Shadow hired a third party to help Dark Million.
Maybe even to keep Zoda from knowing about it.
Black Shadow's secret.
Thank you. You've been a great help.
Ryu will be coming soon.
Why you!
I'll thank you properly later.
Until then, thanks again!
Roger, are you okay?
Damn!
Ryu, I'm sorry.
Zoda you say?
Yes.
He's captured Roger Buster in order to investigate Lightning.
Zoda is truly a nosy man.
Black Shadow, what did you send to Lightning-
You are only to follow my orders.
Those kind of questions are none of your business.
Black Shadow's secret.
How are those two doing?
They're behaving well.
Your treats must have worked.
I see...
This should be the location.
This area of Lightning is especially bad.
Be careful when approaching it.
This is a truly irritating place.
But it's good for a secret base.
Don't worry.
It won't be much trouble for the Galaxy Runner.
I think I'll stay here.
The more important areas of the base will be guarded.
It is mostly underground so we don't know how big it is.
Any base of Black Shadow's will have strong defenses.
We have to do this no matter what.
Roger's life is in our hands!
And this is a chance to find out what Black Shadow is up to.
Be careful, everyone!
There's an energy build up!
There are heat seeking missiles closing in!
Activate the shields!
That'll be their welcoming party!
There's no need to worry.
This kind of attack won't cause an issue.
The energy signals are getting stronger!
Are you sure we'll be okay?
We'll be fine...
...I think.
Damage report!
The hull is fine but the sheilds are down 15%!
We'll be in trouble if this continues!
Their response is getting even stronger!
We're totally surrounded!
Hello, people of the Mobile Task Force!
Zoda!
Have fun battling with the defense system.
I'll search the base in the mean time.
Thanks for helping me!
Hold it, Zoda!
That *** was out to trap us here!
There are no life signs, it must be an automatic system.
That's why they are so strong, isn't it?
It also means they will protect the base at all costs.
There are too many of them.
Our ship is a huge target for them.
Our F-Zero machines should have enough speed to get past them.
I'm going for it!
Alright!
I'll go too!
Doctor, I'll leave things to you.
I understand! Be careful!
Let's go!
So, what are you hiding, Black Shadow?
Black Shadow! How did you...?
I've been waiting, Zoda.
***!
What's wrong, Zoda? Thinking of running?
I'll be leaving then.
If you don't go faster, I'll catch you.
Stop it!
That'll keep Black Shadow's attention for now.
That's all I've got.
This is it.
I'm not giving up!
Ryu, there's no time!
We've got to use the Sandwich Burst!
Got it. I'll move to the center!
Let's do it!
Bring it!
Jody! Jack!
Don't worry about us, go on ahead!
Hurry, Ryu!
Don't let Zoda get away with this!
I understand-!
Uh-oh!
Roger?!
We've come to help!
Draq!
We meet again, Ryu.
I don't know who but someone helped us escape.
Escape?
Are you headed for the base?
We'll take you there.
It's time for some payback.
Hey, Roger!
***! I can't keep this up!
Is that...?
Lucky!
Death Anchor?
And the Black Bull?
Here comes another Reactor Might.
Zoda!
Damn!
Ryu! Leave him to me!
Go stop Zoda!
Sorry.
Black Shadow, you tricked us into helping you!
Useless man.
Damn it!
How naive.
Damn!
Ryu Suzaku, I'm done playing with you.
You're not good enough.
Better keep training.
A research lab?
What kind of research is this?
Reactor Might research?
Is he trying to create biotechnology with the Reactor Might?
That's...
Subject one:
Heat response 90%
All vitals normal.
Name: Zoda.
Zoda?!
Why would he be here?
What's the meaning of this?!
Zoda!
Why am I there?
What's going on?
You were created here, Zoda.
Black Shadow!
Miss Killer, you have disobeyed by orders.
I was trying to stop Zoda!
Enough of that.
You said I was created here?
But I was brought 150 years into the future from 2051!
You're wrong, Zoda.
I created you.
A tool created to destroy Ryu Suzaku.
A tool to destroy Ryu?
I don't understand!
What do you mean?
Exactly what I said.
Ryu Suzaku is the biggest obstacle in my path
so I created you, Zoda, and sent you into the past.
Impossible!
***...
Are you playing with me, Black Shadow?
I...I...!
How could I be created just to stop Ryu?
You idiot!
You were a failure 150 years ago so I decided to install a Reactor Might.
You should be thanking me.
It's not just you either.
Ryu Suzaku has done me a great favor.
You are all my tools.
I've found you, Black Shadow!
It's time we ended this!
You're finally here, Ryu Suzaku.
Let's see how much you've grown.
Black Bull!
Hold it!
Black Shadow!
I won't lose to you!
I will defeat you here!
Defeat me? You think you can defeat the great, Black Shadow?
What?
You'll perish along with this base.
Ryu...
You'll die if you don't escape.
You...!
Did you think childish attacks would work on me?
I'm not going to lose to you in a place like this!
Boost Fire!
Black Shadow!
Not bad, Ryu Suzaku.
You've gotten stronger.
That power will be mine someday.
Black Shadow, I will defeat you one day!
He's not your opponent.
I'll be the one to defeat him.
I will never forgive him for this.
Zoda...
He said I was his creation.
Did you know about that?
He allowed me to do what I wanted but I'll destroy anyone who uses me!
This is it...
Black Shadow created you?
What do you mean?
Do you think I'll leave this alone?
I'll control Dark Million some day and rule over the galaxy!
I won't let you.
I'll defeat you and Black Shadow before that happens.
I'll be waiting then.
Adios!
Zoda...
Subbed by Dreadopp and Zedopp.
Welcome to Jack's class.
Let's welcome the galaxy's savior, Ryu Suzaku!
I've just returned from Mute City.
Your head looks strange.
Sorry to trouble you, Jack.
Take your jacket off.
Can't you wear a shirt that's in fashion?
I hate that!
Mind your business!
Why are you here then?
Talk about no manners!

Use your heart and Boost Fire!
Yo! Wasn't today's F-Zero Legend of Falcon interesting?
Students Konsei and Saya from Kyoto write:
"Why does Zoda like sweets so much?"
Right, Zoda even got chocolates on his birthday.
Actually, he worked in a cake factory 150 years ago.
It was during that time he developed a sweet tooth.
He was fired due to stealing and snaking on the food
and eventually became a criminal.
Thanks to the Reactor Might, he loves sweets even more.
Ryu likes them too.
He used to drink black coffee.
Maybe this is an effect of Reactor Mights...?
Just kidding!
Until next time, bye!
