SPEED RACER X!!!
EPISODE 14 - X: VIEW TO A THRILL
On a hill not far away from the racetrack, the reflection of light can be seen in the distance. Racer X lowers his binoculars, seeing Speed's victory says to himself, "Now it begins." then jumps into the Shooting Star and drives away.
Later at Hibiki Motors, the team celebrates Speed and the Mach V's victory over Clouse and the Albatross. Speed, Trixie, Sparky, Pops, and Spritle are seated around a table.
Mom brings in a cake with a checkered flag and a number "5" in the center. They all cheer for Speed who just smiles holding his plate up for a slice. They discuss the race as they all have cake and punch.
Pops says its ok to celebrate now, but they'll have to prepare even more rigorously for the World Earth Grand Prix soon. Sparky agrees and tells Speed he needs to get plenty of rest so they can start early on the test track in the morning, Speed nods putting another fork-full of cake in his mouth. To himself, Speed only wishes his brother Rex could have seen him drive the Mach V and win the race.
Elsewhere at Team Exelion corporate headquarters, the board members have gathered again to discuss Speed Racer and the Mach V. One man is furious because Team Exelion's chances of winning the World Earth Grand Prix are dwindling. Mr. Balboa is already there and Sonya arrives, another man states that all efforts to stop Speed have failed to prevent him from reaching the World Earth Grand Prix and that something must be done fast. Mr. Balboa states that his team of hoods is ready to get down and dirty. Sonya suggests a new plan, they need to get at Speed where it hurts, they agree.
At Racer X's mansion, he has changed to regular street clothes and sunglasses and is speaking with Joe.
They are both sitting at a table and he begins..."Joe, Speed has learned of the Mach V's hidden potential and displayed them in public. The Safety Seven has failed to prevent Speed from finding out its secrets." He stands up and looks out the window and stands there silently, then turns around and looks at Joe still seated at the table.
Flashback to that fateful day... He continues, "The test track, the crash, my disappearance...it never should have happened..." "The new design, the Safety Seven, it was a mistake, but it saved my life..." "The research I was doing helped me to have an advantage, but only in death could my mission survive..." "My life of secrecy, I knew would be a lonely one, but it would protect my family. The many times that I'd have to be away, training, would only bring suspicion..."
Flashback to the moments on the day of the crash, just before impact. Rex activates a targeting computer that engages the Mach V's special feature, one he's been working on secretly since the prototype was first built.
The next moment he recalls a bright flash of light, but something went terribly wrong.
Then a loud crash...behind him, he turns around to see the bellowing smoke on the other side of the wall, the prototype of his greatest accomplishment is destroyed. Only one thought in his mind now, get the plans for the prototype now, while the diversion is still fresh.
Racer X continues, "I must complete my mission soon before its too late. Speed could be in danger and I wont let that happen."
The next morning on the test track, Speed cruises the Mach V around the test track, fine-tuning his skills. Sparky times the Mach V as it passes for another lap.
In the back of Speed's mind he realizes he was right about the Mach V all along, and wonders if they'll ever take it to the White Sands test track where the rocket cars are tested so he can make an all out speed test.
He stops the Mach V for a break, as he sips water from a sports bottle he sees he's received a fax. He walks over to the machine and reads it. Its from Sonya, in it she tells him to meet her later tonight in the city park if he wants to learn more about his brother Rex. He suspects a trap, but will risk it if he is to learn more about Rex.
Later that evening Pops is watching TV with his feet on a footstool. Mom, Speed and Sparky are sitting on the couch. Speed decides it's probably time to meet Sonya and tells them he's going out for a while and will be back soon. Sparky offers to go with him, so Speed agrees. Pops say they'd better not stay out too late and that they'd better stay out of mischief. They agree and say goodbye.
Speed and Sparky jump into the Mach V and drive away, but unbeknownst to them they are being watched. Speed explains to Sparky about the fax and says he was glad that he came along, just in case.
Later they arrive at the city park, it's grown quite dark if not for the lights over head they'd be in complete darkness for the trees. Speed instructs Sparky to stay in the Mach V and keep a close eye on their surroundings and if he sees anything to honk the horn and come running.
Speed notices no sign of Sonya, then soon the headlights of a sport scar approach and stop yards in front of him. He covers his eyes then the lights go out. Out steps Sonya Broda, telling him she hopes he hadn't waited too long for her. Speed questions her motives about their meeting. She reveals that in the past that she and Rex were once more than just casual acquaintances. And the she believes that she knows where Rex is living.
Speed eyes grow wide; he just knew Rex had to be alive. She also says she believes Rex is in disguise but doesn't know why, but that Speed should confront Rex to find out the truth for himself. She gives him Rex's address and tells him that his brother is the infamous Racer X. Speed looks at her in astonishment.
She smiles at him then walks away, before Speed can utter a single word, she gets back in her car and drives away. Sparky jumps out of the Mach V and runs to Speed asking what happened. Speed still clutching Rex's address wonders if Rex could really still be alive.
