"Okay, our trusty air pilots, listen up! Our next racing location has been decided. It shall be...our very own Universe 1. And you'll be racing on...this world!" Archen said showing a ruined world with destroyed buildings and black and white bears walking about.

"Oh for the love of…" Hope said.

"Akihabara, right in the middle of our world…" David said.

"What are the chances we end up there again?" Sheena asked.

"The chances of arriving to that world are very slim. But not impossible. Luckily, we will be in the air most of the time." Abby said.

"Don't lose your bravery now! We must brave through this world on our way to the top!" GyroMan said.

"You don't need to tell us twice." Zelos said.

"And this looks like the place to get a certain evil genius kicked out." Tails said pointing to Eggman.

"Pilots! To the skies...Now!" Archen said as they soon took off into the air with their planes through the portal.

"Ugh. Now I can see why people aren't so eager to return to this place.' Tails said looking at the destruction below.

"Oh, you can say that again." Eggman grinned as he locked his sights onto Lloyd's ship as he began firing at it. "Hohohohoho!"

"Crap! He's firing at us again!" Lloyd said.

"This is getting old fast!" Genis said.

"Hang on, I've got this. Time to fight fire with fire." Sheena said pulling out a red card. "Efreet!" Sheena said, summoning a red fiery spirit.

"Wow!" Carrot said.

"One of these days, you've gotta show us how to do that, Sheena!" Tails said.

"Why now? It just came out of the card! How does she do it tails?!" Carrot said.

"I dont know, none of it makes sense! Sheena, can you tell us?" Tails said.

"I'm a summoner." Sheena said. "Before I could summon them, I had to first form a pact with them. Usually I had to fight them as a show of strength, in their insistence of course."

"So what if she can call some spirit. I'll shoot it down!" Eggman said firing missiles at Efreet.

"Impulsiveness will get you nowhere." Efreet said as he knocking the missiles away in a single fiery sweep. "Fire Ball!" Efreet launched balls of fire at Eggman's wings. And explosion followed firing the scientist straight through the atmosphere.

"I will have my revenge!" he shouted before he was all the way gone.

"When will Eggman ever learn?" Tails shrugged. "Now to power through to the finish line, Carrot!"

The pilots continued onward without worries of being attacked by enemies.

"And the race has come to its quick end. With Lloyd in 1st, Gyroman in 2nd and Tails in 3rd. And with Eggman flying out of bounds, that means he's out of the race." Dedenne said.

"Courtesy of our resident summoner." Presea said.

"Aw, it was nothing." Sheena said. "At least we've got one maniac off our back."

"Yeah. And after the boat race up next, we can finally move on to the final race." Tails said.

GyroMan was watching them all before secretly pressing his comm. "Is everything in place? Good. Be sure to time it right when we start the finals." he said before shutting it off as Falcon approached. "You ready for this next race?"

"Its gonna be...exciting." Falcon said with a grin.
