i found out recently that i forgot the disclaimer well anything you recognize belongs to whoever owns Speed Racer
SPEED
hope Maria can handle things until we reveal ourselves being alive
REX
she's a Racer Speed she'll be fine
they then sit down
SPEED
I can't believe you left us your car you spelled its doom
REX
I'm not so sure
back with Maria a few weeks later
POPS
are you sure about this Maria?, you know every car handles differently and you haven't tested how the Shooting Star handles under these conditions
MARIA
I'm racing in the Shooting Star and that's final Pops besides this is a tribute race for all the lives lost to the races in the past year it wouldn't seem right if the Shooting Star and Mach 5 weren't out there with the other replicas of those lost
POPS
you're right again
while Maria was making final preparations Speed and Rex went into a sports bar and grill for a rest
WAITER
what do you fellas want
BOTH
water
WAITER
coming right up
TV
in the Mach 5 Trixie is racing in honor of Speed Racer and in # 9 Maria Racer is racing in honor of the Masked Racer as you know Speed and the Masked Racer were lost just a few short weeks ago so we don't know how this will affect Speed's former navigator Trixie and his sister Maria as all four of them were pretty close friends and family even though the Masked Racer has an eventful career in racing
SPEED
(low voice) I hope Trixie can handle the Mach 5
REX
(same voice) and I hope Maria can handle the Shooting Star
a minute later the race begins and so did the cheering
SPEED
come on guys you can win this race
REX
give her the gas
ANNOUNCER
# 9 is ahead but the Mach 5 isn't far behind
a minute later both Speed and Rex could sense something was wrong as the Shooting Star suddenly slowed down allowing Trixie to pull in the lead racetrack
TRIXIE
I wonder what Maria's going slowing down like that
MARIA
not good I have creeps to take care of and the Shooting Star is giving me problems what would Rex or Speed do?
She thinks about it and gets her answer and with a jerk of the wheel pulls over and grabs a tool kit
REX
what's she doing pulling over like that?
SPEED
i don't know but some thing's been off since the beginning
meanwhile Maria finds what she's looking for and comes from under the car
MARIA
it's gonna blow gotta protect the others
she throws the device into the air and it detonates at the bar everyone holds their breath
ANNOUNCER
the smoke has yet to clear
REX
please be alright
the smoke clears with no sign of Maria but suddenly the comes out from underneath the car, hops in and continues the race to the cheering fans
MARIA
now this is more like it time to catch those creeps
well she doesn't catch them but she does win the race
