RACE WARS
PART 7
ENDGAME PART 1
As we last left off, Peach and Pipsy were racing for the flag in Donut Plains. The race is almost over and the two ladies are neck and neck. {That bites, I wanted to see the race from turn one. What a fluke.}
Peach: I'm not going to let you cheap me out of this flag like you did on the first one. {...No comment.}
Pipsy: Stop whining, we both got flags.
Peach: I could've had that won for our side.
Pipsy: Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch! Shut up and race.
[As both girls rounded the last corner, they read each other's minds and used their Speed Shields. As a result, both girls crossed at the same time as Taj and DK saw, seeing as they were on opposite sides of the starting line.]
Judges: Draw race!
Diddy: Another one?
Mario: Oh well, we're still tied.
Pipsy: That was disappointing...
Luigi: Why, you tied the race?
Pipsy: Not that, Peach's complaining. I had to listen to that since the third lap, I don't want to hear that while I'm racing. Put your girl in check, Luigi.
Peach: I'll check you, you dirty rat.
Pipsy: I'm a mouse... and a clean one at that. I haven't been soiled like you have, you spoiled brat.
Peach: I got your spoiled brat right here. (slaps Pipsy with dictatorship)
Pipsy: You'll pay for that!
[And the catfight was on. Yoshi was cheering them on, as was Conker. They didn't even bother to break the fight up even when they were close by. The two were then scolded by their leaders.]
Diddy & Mario: What are you doing?
Conker & Yoshi: Let em' fight.
Darion & Luigi: What do you mean, "Let em' fight?"
Shadow: Good solution. They'll tire out eventually, just wait and see.
Taj: I'm breaking this up.
DK: Me too.
[But before they could get the the catfight, a simple blast was aimed at their feet, which came from Shadow. The two judges eyed him angrily.]
Shadow: I didn't stutter, let alone speak. Let them wear each other out, it will work.
DK: I refuse to watch this.
Taj: I couldn't have said it better.
Shadow: That blast packs a punch you two, don't make me fire it at you.
Bowser: I'll vouch for that, it hurts.
A whole hour later, the two girls were still fighting. [The judges eyed Shadow again.]
Shadow: Are you growing impatient already?
(The judges shrugged and sat down.)
Jugem: Are they tired yet?
Darion & Luigi: Not really.
[At noon, the two finally stopped fighting and were panting on all fours. {Shadow looks like he has a smile on his face... at least that's how his face would look if he had one...}
Shadow: Now that you ladies are done-
Pipsy: I'm not done!
Darion, Diddy & the Marios: Ah, give it a break will ya'?
(Both girls rose to their feet, dusted themselves off and with lifted noses, turned the other cheek)
Timber: Can we eat now?

Now that the brawling has stopped and everyone is eating, things were starting to get back to normal. But Pipsy and Peach were leering each other as they ate.
Taj: Let me remind all of you, especially you ladies, that we settle things on the track and in the arena, not in combat.
Peach & Pipsy: (waving Taj off) Whatever.
Shadow: Taj, a little advice. When two women fight, just shut up, get out of the way and wait for them to wear themselves out.
Taj: (*\_/) Listen here! You are not going to--Elp.
[Shadow had lifted his hand to where his eye level would be, causing Taj to be levitated above his seat.]
Shadow: Refrain from using that tone of voice at me.
Mario: Shadow...
Shadow: Quiet! Look here genie, your magic is useless against me and I'm not one you should provoke. I do not listen to Mario, Kong, or even you, I am here to complete my mission. And until Toad comes back, you will have to put up with me.
Fuchsia: Shadow, put Taj down.
Shadow: Quiet Fuchsia. (to Taj) I am not a pawn on your chessboard, so don't treat me like one. You can't kill me, for I am immortal. I've been decapped already and am living proof of that. I only take orders from the one whom has summoned me, and none other than he... I tried to help you out and this is how you repay me? Don't expect to get any more help from me, now have a seat and enjoy lunch. (lowers hand and Taj falls in his seat exactly how he sat) {Layin' the smack down on Taj's candy ass.}
After that was cleared up, everyone went to Sherbert Land to start the next event.
DK: Okay, Baby Mario and Tip Tup, it's your turn now. (Baby Mario and Tip Tup shook hands) Okay, let's get ready to race... And don't relieve yourself on the track this time, okay.
Baby Mario: (!U_U) Hey, I didn't have a diaper on and I really had to go.
KT: Don't be a squirt, squirt.
Baby Mario: (confused) ...I don't get it.
Tip Tup: Don't pee on the track during the race, huh?
Baby Mario: Oh.
[The two rivals lined up and were ready to go. Jugem appeared with his pole in hand.]
Jugem: This is for a tiebreaker you two, so drive with skill. And uh, beware of the penguins.
Tip Tup: You watch too much TV.
Jugem: Three laps you guys, so just blaze on the green light, huh?
The lights changed slowly, but once the green light sounded, both racers zoomed off. Rounding the first turn, Tip Tup hit the penguin and Baby Mario was off to a good lead. [Tip Tup cleared his head while recovering and went on with the race.]
Tip Tup: Stupid birds. How can someone race if they keep hitting them? I guess that's all apart of the challenge huh...
(Baby Mario was at the second set of items, leading up into the cave. Hoping that the Bouncy Missile he had would be of good use, he used it after he entered the cave. As Tip Tup came across the set of items and the entrance to the tunnel, he hit the penguins. And to make things worse, Baby Mario's bouncy hit the turtle before he could recover from the penguins)
Tip Tup: I HATE THESE BIRDS!
[scene shift to the booths]
Mario: You know Diddy, I think this is a bad day for Tip Tup.
Diddy: This isn't fair.
KT: Ah, stop whining. It's his fault he can't time the penguin's movements.
Pipsy: I wouldn't like this course either if I kept hitting those penguins. Poor Tip Tup.
Yoshi: Twenty coins says he snaps before the end of the first lap.
Peach: Twenty-five says he snaps on the last turn.
Shadow: Forty says he doesn't make the second turn of the next lap.
Peach & Yoshi: You're on! (shakes Shadow's hands)
Tip Tup managed to get through the cave without hitting a penguin, but as he crossed his first lap, he got reacquainted with the first penguin he hit.
Tip Tup: (*\_/) Damn you stupid penguins! Get out of my way!
[Baby Mario heard Tip Tup's yell and stopped his kart and turned around to see that the penguins that were near his rival weren't so playful anymore. Then he heard a splash and saw the big penguin in the sea.]
Baby Mario: Uh oh.
KT: Bad move on Tip Tup.
Taj: Can someone explain why the big penguin is swimming towards Tip Tup?
KT: Well from what one of the penguins told me, the King Penguin only leaves that island when he's... pissed... off.
Judges & Mario Bros.: You're kidding right?
Shadow & Yoshi: We'll find out. {Remember, Shadow's using telepathy.}
"His highness" jumped out of the water by Tip Tup and with the aid of the angry nearby penguins, began to thrash the turtle into the ice, kart and all. [Baby Mario hopped back into his kart, laughing all the way into his lap as his allies laughed at him in the booths. Even DK was laughing at Tip Tup.]
Taj: That's not funny!
DK: Yes it is. Ha, ha, haha!
KT: (crying in laughter) Serves him right! {To quote Nelson Mutts, "Ha ha!"}
[By the time the penguins finished beating up Tip Tup, Baby Mario was about to cross his final lap.]
Tip Tup: That's it, I quit! (Baby Mario crossed the line)
On the track, Pipsy and Taj were fixing up Tip Tup as DK gave Baby Mario the RW flag.
Pipsy: There you go, all better.
Tip Tup: Thanks Pipsy.
Taj: How do you feel, Tip Tup.
Tip Tup: I'm really angry.
Bowser: Don't feel bad "son". I'd be mad as hell too if a bunch of penguins kicked my ass like they just did to you.
(Baby Mario, Bowser, DK and KT were rolling around on the icy track laughing at Tip Tup. DK and Pipsy held their heads down as they shook them)
KT: (;_;) I'm gonna cry! {I'm already crying.}
RACE WARS TALLY DKR-5 MKR-6
After the race, everyone had a break.
DK: So, what was everyone's favorite part of Race Wars?
KT: I would have to say when X and Shadow raced in Darkmoon caverns. That was a good race, I mean, a single hundredth of a second determined the race.
Shadow: We will have our rematch soon...
Darion: Yes, we shall.
Bowser: That wasn't my favorite. Mine was when Tip Tup got his ass kicked by the penguins. (laughs)
Mario: Give it a break already Bowser, it's not funny anymore.
KT: Sure it is (chuckle), but don't get mad at us because Tip Tup shouldn't have insulted them on their homeland.
[A shot into Tip Tup's head. He walks right up and knocks the taste out of KT's mouth, then we come back to reality. But instead of executing his thoughts, Tip Tup just stood up and walked away from the table.] (Bowser stopped laughing and then shrugged as Tip Tup left)
Shadow: You don't need to say, I already know.
[Baby Mario decided to go after him.]
Mario: hey, where are you going?
Baby Mario: (leaving) To the bathroom. I'll be back... and stay out of my food Wario.
Wario: There you go blaming me again.
[Mario shrugs it off. Tip Tup went around the DKR kart and hopped in his own.]
Baby Mario: Where are you going?
Tip Tup: Why does it matter to you?
Baby Mario: Hello, we're going up against each other.
Tip Tup: I'm out of here.
Baby Mario: Is this because Koopa keeps insulting' you about getting your butt kicked by those penguins?
Tip Tup: Don't remind me.
Baby Mario: Look. Koopa's a meanie, everybody knows about that. He picked on everyone in the Ultimate Smash Bros. Tournament, including me. I was the youngest fighter in the whole thing, plus I only lasted four rounds, but I didn't give up. I cried a lot, but I didn't give up.
Tip Tup: Hmmf.
Baby Mario: KT was right ya' know. If you didn't say what you said on your second lap, that wouldn't have happened to you.
Tip Tup: And what about KT?
Baby Mario: KT laughs at everyone's misfortunes, even his own. He thinks that if you can't laugh at it, then what can you do?
Tip Tup: Get mad.
Baby Mario: Now what good does that do? Listen, let's not mention that right now and talk about something else. Something that will take this thought off your mind.
Tip Tup: Like what?
Baby Mario: How about being rivals with me? Now I'll admit, I never thought that I would go up against you. To be honest, I thought they would've pitted me up against someone like Krunch. However, they didn't... When you came to me and wanted to be my rival, I was a little worried about being at a disadvantage, but I don't think that way at all now.
Tip Tup: Okay I'll admit it, When TT said that I should go up against you, I was really embarrassed at the thought, not to mention insulted. I mean, a baby... that kinda' stings your pride. But when we squared off at the Royal Raceway against you and lost, I was even more embarrassed. Then when I got back to my dorm that night and looked at the ceiling while laying in the cover, I realized that it was just me. I mean, even though you were sick and almost killed, I felt that you were an actual adversary for me. You really have it in you, Baby.
Baby Mario: I know... now let's go eat, okay?
Tip Tup: ...Okay, but how do I get over what just happened?
Baby Mario: You can always laugh it off.
Tip Tup: (^_^) Yeah, that's true.
Though rivals, Baby Mario and Tip Tup went back to the table hand in hand. Maybe reasoning gave Tip Tup a second wind which was greatly needed, then again, maybe the turtle needed some more courage.

DKR
Taj: Bowser, Krunch, step forward please. (both moved up) It's your turn to race here in Fossil Canyon. Shake hands and get ready to race your three laps.
[After shaking, the two lined up at the line. Bowser feeling confident in his orange kart with a green stripe and his bracelet as his symbol, finally has the chance to show who is the real road racer.]
Bowser: Ready to lose, "son"?
Krunch: Ready when you are, "old man".
Bowser: They say gator meat is tasty, let's see if it's true.
Krunch: My win... That's all this is. "Spikey" won't beat me now.
Taj: Okay you two, this is for the flag... GO!
And off they went. The two were neck and neck at the start of the race and their teammates cheered them on. [Around the first turn, Krunch nabbed a Mine Box as Bowser went wide to snag a Bouncy. On the second zipper, Krunch blazed off and dropped the box on it. Bowser saw this and shot it.]
Bowser: What a waste of a good weapon... Oh well, it won't matter when I win.
[It wasn't long before Bowser caught up with Krunch.]
Bowser: That trap was so cute that I had t waste my missile on it.
Krunch: I'm glad you liked it.
As they entered the tunnel, both teams watched in the booth. {Must they always do this?}
Mario: I really don't know who to go for in this race.
Shadow: Why do you say that?
Mario: Bowser's my enemy and Krunch is my rival's friend.
Diddy: Whoa, whoa, let's get a few things straight. Krunch is not my friend Mario.. not no way, not no how! We just... er... have an understanding right now.
Luigi: Okay.
Timber: As long as we don't pull anything threatening to the other kremlings, he won't be troubling us anytime soon.
Pipsy: That's a nice story, but let's get back to the race now. {Tinky, Pipsy.}
The two racers have exited the tunnel and are on the final turn. Bowser swung left, while Krunch took the right, and oddly enough, finished the first lap at the same time.
Krunch: How ya' doing?
Bowser: Bad... and you?
Krunch: Worse. You know for rivals, we sure are on the same page.
Bowser: Yeah, you're all right. But don't think I'm not going to give you all I've got, 'cause I am!
Krunch: That's cool. Bye!
[During that little chat, Krunch hit the zipper and took the lead. Bowser wasn't stressing though, he just fired his Homer and knocked Krunch over the second zipper. As the kremling recovered, Bowser hit the next zipper to pass him by.]
Bowser: (:P) See ya'!
Krunch wasn't easily defeated, and he proved that when he hit the zipper that shot him across the lake and took first from Bowser's claws.
Bowser: I can do that too. (smirk)
(Krunch led throughout the tunnel and dropped well placed slicks from his Slickpak and a Danger Bubble before the zipper. Bowser's Shield helped him through safely and popped the bubble) [Then, he grabbed his own Slickpak and fired them before him. Krunch slipped on one of them and crashed into the right wall.]
Bowser: You don't mind that I oiled you down, do you? Haha, I kill myself.
Krunch: I'll kill you too. Homer away!
[Bowser heard the incoming missile and dodged it. All of the DKR racers were shocked to see that.]
Diddy & Timber: How the hell did he do that?
Mario Bros. : Amateurs. Homing Missiles aren't as perfect as you might think.
KT: It'll take more than that to stop a quarter ton turtle.
[As The final lap was left, Krunch was a couple of seconds behind Bowser. The "King" hit every zipper, and so did Krunch.]
Bowser: His race huh? I BEG to differ.
(Krunch passed him while using his Timed Boost and when he did, Bowser lined himself up for the shortcut)
Bowser: Okay wise guy, let's see how you like this.
Bowser lined himself up and executed the shortcut. But because he was so heavy, the turtle landed in the middle of the pool and started sinking. Tip Tup was busting up in laughter in the booths.]
KT: That's messed up.
Mario: What? Bowser landing in the water?
KT: That too, but look at Tip Tup. He's belly up on the floor.
Baby Mario: Kind of like how you were when he got beat up by those penguins huh?
KT: (!o_O) Yeah, yeah.
Tip Tup: (^_^,) Why aren't you laughing, KT? Isn't this funny to you?
KT: No!
Tip Tup: (^_^,) Now you know how I felt.
After the race was over, Bowser finished his lap. Though he was mad, his didn't sweat it. But he saw Tip Tup rolling on the ground in laughter and approached him.
Bowser: And you're laughing because?
Tip Tup: (laughing) Because you had this match won. You were doing great until the hit that cut and landed in the water. When that happened, your chances of winning sunk like the Titanic... Just like you did!
[Tip Tup began crying in laughter and Diddy, Timber and Taj joined him.]
Taj: Sunk like the Titanic. Now that's funny!
DK: (shrugged) Ah well, I guess it's tied again.
Shadow: With everything that's happened right now, there's only one quote that can be said right now, Bowser.
Bowser: And what might that be?
Shadow: "Shit happens, so get on with your life."
RACE WARS TALLY DKR-6 MKR-6
After that race, it was 3:45 p.m.. The racers all enjoyed a snack while they talked.
Timber: So, where are we going to next, Taj?
Taj: Pirate Lagoon, Timber.
Waluigi: Isn't that where the sunken ship is?
Taj: Of course. Conker, Wario, grab your 'crafts and head to the course.
Wario: Water course huh? Things are going to get juicy.
Mario Bros.: Juicy?
Wario: ...What?
Conker: Just you wait, I will break this tie.
Wario: Yeah, whatever. Just watch me sink your hopes of winning.
Diddy: Kind of like how Bowser sunk in Fossil Canyon.
(Tip Tup and Taj cry in laughter)
Bowser: Shit happens...
MKR
As the day began to end, Mario and the gang headed back to Peach's castle.
Mario: I can't believe that the match is tied again.
Luigi: It's not like we can't still win the match.
Peach: Stop acting like a defenseless mouse you guys. We have to get things back in our favor.
Fuchsia: Only Wario can do this, no one else. We just have to trust him.
Luigi: Is that possible?
Shadow: Listen to yourselves! You all sound confused, stop it now. I know how much you despise Wario, but we all shall soon see who will regain the lead. (leaves) You all need some self control and trust in your allies. When you learn to do this, I will return.
Fuchsia: Wh.. where are you going?
Shadow: Away, to see what was up with Toad. If I see him, I will tell him about what's going on. Until then...
(Shadow closes the door and hops in Toad's kart. Then he drove off into the mountains)
Shadow: This team needs improvement and badly.
Toad: They will improve, Shadow. You said the right thing back there, and with those words, they will pull themselves together. How's it going otherwise?
Shadow: Slow, but don't worry, I will prevail. However, I had to subdue a certain genie. To think, I tried to give him some advice...
Toad: I know, but don't fret, give them this chance to redeem themselves.
DKR
Krunch: Conker man, you've got to win this one for us.
Conker: This is just payback for me. How they just knocked me off the Skyscraper almost taking my life. Now... it's vengeance time!
Timber: Are you okay?
Conker: Just thinking, that's all. You can't believe how psyched up I am.
Darion: ...I think I know...
Conker: Only you would, wouldn't you X?
Darion: Of course.
Drumstick: At least now we can make a comeback against Mario and those clowns.
TT: Conker, you should relax about everything. You don't need to feel any pressure right now, so let's relax and have a good break. This way, you can race great later.
Conker: When are we racing anyway?
Diddy: From what I heard from my uncle, after supper. So chill and get your strength high... you'll need it.
Meanwhile, Taj and DK count the flags and record everything.
Taj: Darkwater Beach. Toad and TT tie the match.
DK: 1-1, tie match.
Taj: Skyscraper. Wario, Bowser and KT beat Conker three on one.
DK: 2-1, MKR leads.
Taj: Darkmoon Caverns. X beats Shadow.
DK: 2-2, tie match.
Taj: Royal Raceway. Baby Mario beats Tip Tup while sick, pees on course and Peach gets mad.
DK: 3-2, MKR leads again.
Taj: Bowser's Castle. Three on one member Drumstick ties with Yoshi.
DK: 4-3, MKR.
Taj: Fire Mountain. Diddy wins contest against Mario.
DK: 4-4, tie match.
Taj: Donut Plains. Peach and Pipsy tie.
DK: 5-5, match still tied.
Taj: Sherbert Land. Tip Tup quits against Baby Mario.
DK: Tip Tup gets butt kicked by penguins (chuckle). 6-5, MKR leads with a laugh.
Taj: You're as bad as Bowser!
DK: Not even close.
Taj: (sigh) Let's move on. Fossil Canyon Krunch wins against Bowser who sinks like Titanic (cries laughing)! Tip Tup gets payback.
DK: 6-6, tie a-gain. You know what would be nice to see? Diddy and his friends actually take the lead.
Taj: Am I hearing you right? What are you saying? {To quote the Hurricane, "What's up with that?"}
DK: Look, it's not that I'm tired of seeing my friends take the lead on my nephew's friends. But it seems that no matter how hard they try, they just can't seem for some reason to actually take the lead in Race Wars.
Taj: That's a good point, not to mention a right one. Diddy just hasn't come up wind and lead at all yet.
Though this was true, the thing that none of them expected was that Diddy was listening to them the whole time. (Diddy held his head down in shame as he walked away)
Diddy: I can believe Uncle Donkey saying this, but Taj? Boy you really don't know how much that hurts... (\_/) But that's all going to change, just you wait and see. We'll show you... you and Mario and his friends.
DK: I know I'm sounding like I've lost faith in my nephew, but I haven't. Never. How can I lose faith in him, he's my nephew?
Taj: I don't know. Are you supposed to?
DK: Of course not. (:P) Say Taj, who's the genie lady in this picture?
Taj: I don't know of any genie lady!
DK: (hands picture to Taj) What about that one?
Taj: (blushing) Oh, that's just an old friend.
DK: More like an old flame to me.
Taj: Knock it off, will ya'?
MKR
[Wario stands in front of his house in the wind, holding one of his bombs. Waluigi walks up to his brother's left.]
Waluigi: It's almost time. Ready to whoop him one more time?
Wario: Always have been, always will be. It's time for more squirrel beatin'.
Waluigi: It looks like we have this won.
Wario: Of course. Well let's go, I can't wait anymore.
Waluigi: I'm right behind you.
[The two jump in their hovercrafts and head to Peach's castle.]
*
DKR
It was now time for the racers to finally got down to business. Taj was with Conker in the lagoon, waiting for Wario to show up. Conker: Where is that no good, chunky butt, crude son of a-
Wario: Okay, I'm here.
[Wario showed up with DK and the rest of the MKR racers.]
Taj: Now that you're here Wario, we can get down to the race. Okay, shake hands.
[Just so he can be a good sport, Wario held his hand out to Conker. But Conker did something that no one would think he would do, he spit in Wario's glove.] (Wario laughed for a while, then spat in Conker's face. Conker flipped Wario off, {Ah, you're not supposed to blur the finger.} Wario flipped Conker off and the two began to fight)
Yoshi: All right, another one.
DK: First Peach and Pipsy, now Conker and Wario?
Mario: Conker didn't have to spit in Wario's open gesture though.
Baby Mario: Maybe Taj should just let them fight.... (Conker and Wario fall into the water) O-kay, maybe we should stop them.
Timber: Hey Luigi, where's Shadow?
Luigi: Don't worry about him, he went to see Toad.
[Meanwhile, Wario and Conker were lifted out of the water by Taj's magic.]
Taj: I see that you forgot what I said.
Wario: This wouldn't have happened if that rodent didn't spit in my glove.
Conker: Kiss my ass, Wario!
Wario: My left foot would be glad to do that!
Mario: Knock it off you guys. Listen, you can whoop on each other later, but get the flag now!
After the two were calmed and somewhat reformed, they dried themselves off, went into their 'crafts and got ready to race.
Taj: Now that the friendly spar is over, we can get to the flag race. This is a three lap race and I want to see those Missiles fly! BOMBSAWAY you two... GO!
[Both racers blazed off down the line. On the line, things were neck and neck, but on the first turn, Conker took the lead. Wario responded with a Thunder Bullet and ran over Conker.]
Wario: See you later, roadkill (laugh).
Conker: That does it! Now it's time to dominate!
[Entering the tunnel on the second turn, Wario seemed to have things made. However, Conker made sure that Wario was in for a good run for his coins, despite the fact he was two whole seconds behind Wario. Exiting into the third turn, Wario missed the zipper, but Conker hit it and the race was tied again.] In the booths, the racers watched as they hit turns four and five.
Mario: This race seems tight.
Diddy: Don't get your hopes up just yet, this race just started.
Mario: I'm not doing that, I'm simply foreshadowing.
Timber: How about foreshadowing team DKR taking the lead?
Mario: Sorry, I just don't see that...
Diddy & Timber: Not yet, anyway.
As the second lap came to it's first turn, this time, the Thunder Bullet hit the other driver and the other driver got ran over.
Conker: Who's the roadkill, now?
Wario: Cocky huh? Well let's see you win...
[As Conker entered the tunnel, he had a good two second lead on Wario, but Wario had an evile grin on his face.]
Wario: I hope you run into my trap...
Conker: I'm winning, I'm winning, I'm--Damn!
[Conker was drunk on his own pride that he didn't see the Mine Box that Wario placed on the previous lap and ran into it. {Ha ha!} Wario then regained first.]
Wario: Silly Conker, Trix are for kids!
Conker: This isn't over yet.
As the race went into the final lap, each racer was neck and neck. They stayed that way for the whole race, even while crossing the line.
DK: Great, another tie. I guess it's seven up huh?
Taj: Of course it is... and once again, the rounds are even for both sides.
Shadow: I see that I didn't miss much, but I'm not back yet.
Mario: Where are you now, Shadow?
Shadow: On my way back right now, but I'll see you in the morning. Oh, by the way, Toad sends his love and will be back ASAP. He still has a few things to sort out, but other than that, he's okay.
Fuchsia: That's great to hear.
Shadow: Oh, he did want me to deliver a message to you Fuchsia.
Fuchsia: What is it?
Shadow: "Don't worry about me so much, I'm fine. Yes I miss you too, but don't breakdown while I'm away, okay?"
Fuchsia: Okay Toad, for you.
[scene change to Shadow driving back to Mushroom Kingdom in Toad's kart.]
Shadow: She's a good mushroom to you Toad, a fine prize for yourself.
Toad: I'm glad that you like her...
Shadow: She wants to be my friend.
Toad: So, be her friend.
Shadow: I don't make friends.
Toad: Then what am I supposed to be?
Shadow: An ally.
Toad: Well, Fuchsia wants to be another one of your allies. Will you let her?
Shadow: Perhaps, but only if she is worthy... Only time will tell if she is.

PART 7
ENDGAME PART 1
As we last left off, Peach and Pipsy were racing for the flag in Donut Plains. The race is almost over and the two ladies are neck and neck. {That bites, I wanted to see the race from turn one. What a fluke.}
Peach: I'm not going to let you cheap me out of this flag like you did on the first one. {...No comment.}
Pipsy: Stop whining, we both got flags.
Peach: I could've had that won for our side.
Pipsy: Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch! Shut up and race.
[As both girls rounded the last corner, they read each other's minds and used their Speed Shields. As a result, both girls crossed at the same time as Taj and DK saw, seeing as they were on opposite sides of the starting line.]
Judges: Draw race!
Diddy: Another one?
Mario: Oh well, we're still tied.
Pipsy: That was disappointing...
Luigi: Why, you tied the race?
Pipsy: Not that, Peach's complaining. I had to listen to that since the third lap, I don't want to hear that while I'm racing. Put your girl in check, Luigi.
Peach: I'll check you, you dirty rat.
Pipsy: I'm a mouse... and a clean one at that. I haven't been soiled like you have, you spoiled brat.
Peach: I got your spoiled brat right here. (slaps Pipsy with dictatorship)
Pipsy: You'll pay for that!
[And the catfight was on. Yoshi was cheering them on, as was Conker. They didn't even bother to break the fight up even when they were close by. The two were then scolded by their leaders.]
Diddy & Mario: What are you doing?
Conker & Yoshi: Let em' fight.
Darion & Luigi: What do you mean, "Let em' fight?"
Shadow: Good solution. They'll tire out eventually, just wait and see.
Taj: I'm breaking this up.
DK: Me too.
[But before they could get the the catfight, a simple blast was aimed at their feet, which came from Shadow. The two judges eyed him angrily.]
Shadow: I didn't stutter, let alone speak. Let them wear each other out, it will work.
DK: I refuse to watch this.
Taj: I couldn't have said it better.
Shadow: That blast packs a punch you two, don't make me fire it at you.
Bowser: I'll vouch for that, it hurts.
A whole hour later, the two girls were still fighting. [The judges eyed Shadow again.]
Shadow: Are you growing impatient already?
(The judges shrugged and sat down.)
Jugem: Are they tired yet?
Darion & Luigi: Not really.
[At noon, the two finally stopped fighting and were panting on all fours. {Shadow looks like he has a smile on his face... at least that's how his face would look if he had one...}
Shadow: Now that you ladies are done-
Pipsy: I'm not done!
Darion, Diddy & the Marios: Ah, give it a break will ya'?
(Both girls rose to their feet, dusted themselves off and with lifted noses, turned the other cheek)
Timber: Can we eat now?
RACE WARS TALLY DKR-5 MKR-5

Now that the brawling has stopped and everyone is eating, things were starting to get back to normal. But Pipsy and Peach were leering each other as they ate.
Taj: Let me remind all of you, especially you ladies, that we settle things on the track and in the arena, not in combat.
Peach & Pipsy: (waving Taj off) Whatever.
Shadow: Taj, a little advice. When two women fight, just shut up, get out of the way and wait for them to wear themselves out.
Taj: (*\_/) Listen here! You are not going to--Elp.
[Shadow had lifted his hand to where his eye level would be, causing Taj to be levitated above his seat.]
Shadow: Refrain from using that tone of voice at me.
Mario: Shadow...
Shadow: Quiet! Look here genie, your magic is useless against me and I'm not one you should provoke. I do not listen to Mario, Kong, or even you, I am here to complete my mission. And until Toad comes back, you will have to put up with me.
Fuchsia: Shadow, put Taj down.
Shadow: Quiet Fuchsia. (to Taj) I am not a pawn on your chessboard, so don't treat me like one. You can't kill me, for I am immortal. I've been decapped already and am living proof of that. I only take orders from the one whom has summoned me, and none other than he... I tried to help you out and this is how you repay me? Don't expect to get any more help from me, now have a seat and enjoy lunch. (lowers hand and Taj falls in his seat exactly how he sat) {Layin' the smack down on Taj's candy ass.}
After that was cleared up, everyone went to Sherbert Land to start the next event.
DK: Okay, Baby Mario and Tip Tup, it's your turn now. (Baby Mario and Tip Tup shook hands) Okay, let's get ready to race... And don't relieve yourself on the track this time, okay.
Baby Mario: (!U_U) Hey, I didn't have a diaper on and I really had to go.
KT: Don't be a squirt, squirt.
Baby Mario: (confused) ...I don't get it.
Tip Tup: Don't pee on the track during the race, huh?
Baby Mario: Oh.
[The two rivals lined up and were ready to go. Jugem appeared with his pole in hand.]
Jugem: This is for a tiebreaker you two, so drive with skill. And uh, beware of the penguins.
Tip Tup: You watch too much TV.
Jugem: Three laps you guys, so just blaze on the green light, huh?
The lights changed slowly, but once the green light sounded, both racers zoomed off. Rounding the first turn, Tip Tup hit the penguin and Baby Mario was off to a good lead. [Tip Tup cleared his head while recovering and went on with the race.]
Tip Tup: Stupid birds. How can someone race if they keep hitting them? I guess that's all apart of the challenge huh...
(Baby Mario was at the second set of items, leading up into the cave. Hoping that the Bouncy Missile he had would be of good use, he used it after he entered the cave. As Tip Tup came across the set of items and the entrance to the tunnel, he hit the penguins. And to make things worse, Baby Mario's bouncy hit the turtle before he could recover from the penguins)
Tip Tup: I HATE THESE BIRDS!
[scene shift to the booths]
Mario: You know Diddy, I think this is a bad day for Tip Tup.
Diddy: This isn't fair.
KT: Ah, stop whining. It's his fault he can't time the penguin's movements.
Pipsy: I wouldn't like this course either if I kept hitting those penguins. Poor Tip Tup.
Yoshi: Twenty coins says he snaps before the end of the first lap.
Peach: Twenty-five says he snaps on the last turn.
Shadow: Forty says he doesn't make the second turn of the next lap.
Peach & Yoshi: You're on! (shakes Shadow's hands)
Tip Tup managed to get through the cave without hitting a penguin, but as he crossed his first lap, he got reacquainted with the first penguin he hit.
Tip Tup: (*\_/) Damn you stupid penguins! Get out of my way!
[Baby Mario heard Tip Tup's yell and stopped his kart and turned around to see that the penguins that were near his rival weren't so playful anymore. Then he heard a splash and saw the big penguin in the sea.]
Baby Mario: Uh oh.
KT: Bad move on Tip Tup.
Taj: Can someone explain why the big penguin is swimming towards Tip Tup?
KT: Well from what one of the penguins told me, the King Penguin only leaves that island when he's... pissed... off.
Judges & Mario Bros.: You're kidding right?
Shadow & Yoshi: We'll find out. {Remember, Shadow's using telepathy.}
"His highness" jumped out of the water by Tip Tup and with the aid of the angry nearby penguins, began to thrash the turtle into the ice, kart and all. [Baby Mario hopped back into his kart, laughing all the way into his lap as his allies laughed at him in the booths. Even DK was laughing at Tip Tup.]
Taj: That's not funny!
DK: Yes it is. Ha, ha, haha!
KT: (crying in laughter) Serves him right! {To quote Nelson Mutts, "Ha ha!"}
[By the time the penguins finished beating up Tip Tup, Baby Mario was about to cross his final lap.]
Tip Tup: That's it, I quit! (Baby Mario crossed the line)
On the track, Pipsy and Taj were fixing up Tip Tup as DK gave Baby Mario the RW flag.
Pipsy: There you go, all better.
Tip Tup: Thanks Pipsy.
Taj: How do you feel, Tip Tup.
Tip Tup: I'm really angry.
Bowser: Don't feel bad "son". I'd be mad as hell too if a bunch of penguins kicked my ass like they just did to you.
(Baby Mario, Bowser, DK and KT were rolling around on the icy track laughing at Tip Tup. DK and Pipsy held their heads down as they shook them)
KT: (;_;) I'm gonna cry! {I'm already crying.}
RACE WARS TALLY DKR-5 MKR-6
After the race, everyone had a break.
DK: So, what was everyone's favorite part of Race Wars?
KT: I would have to say when X and Shadow raced in Darkmoon caverns. That was a good race, I mean, a single hundredth of a second determined the race.
Shadow: We will have our rematch soon...
Darion: Yes, we shall.
Bowser: That wasn't my favorite. Mine was when Tip Tup got his ass kicked by the penguins. (laughs)
Mario: Give it a break already Bowser, it's not funny anymore.
KT: Sure it is (chuckle), but don't get mad at us because Tip Tup shouldn't have insulted them on their homeland.
[A shot into Tip Tup's head. He walks right up and knocks the taste out of KT's mouth, then we come back to reality. But instead of executing his thoughts, Tip Tup just stood up and walked away from the table.] (Bowser stopped laughing and then shrugged as Tip Tup left)
Shadow: You don't need to say, I already know.
[Baby Mario decided to go after him.]
Mario: hey, where are you going?
Baby Mario: (leaving) To the bathroom. I'll be back... and stay out of my food Wario.
Wario: There you go blaming me again.
[Mario shrugs it off. Tip Tup went around the DKR kart and hopped in his own.]
Baby Mario: Where are you going?
Tip Tup: Why does it matter to you?
Baby Mario: Hello, we're going up against each other.
Tip Tup: I'm out of here.
Baby Mario: Is this because Koopa keeps insulting' you about getting your butt kicked by those penguins?
Tip Tup: Don't remind me.
Baby Mario: Look. Koopa's a meanie, everybody knows about that. He picked on everyone in the Ultimate Smash Bros. Tournament, including me. I was the youngest fighter in the whole thing, plus I only lasted four rounds, but I didn't give up. I cried a lot, but I didn't give up.
Tip Tup: Hmmf.
Baby Mario: KT was right ya' know. If you didn't say what you said on your second lap, that wouldn't have happened to you.
Tip Tup: And what about KT?
Baby Mario: KT laughs at everyone's misfortunes, even his own. He thinks that if you can't laugh at it, then what can you do?
Tip Tup: Get mad.
Baby Mario: Now what good does that do? Listen, let's not mention that right now and talk about something else. Something that will take this thought off your mind.
Tip Tup: Like what?
Baby Mario: How about being rivals with me? Now I'll admit, I never thought that I would go up against you. To be honest, I thought they would've pitted me up against someone like Krunch. However, they didn't... When you came to me and wanted to be my rival, I was a little worried about being at a disadvantage, but I don't think that way at all now.
Tip Tup: Okay I'll admit it, When TT said that I should go up against you, I was really embarrassed at the thought, not to mention insulted. I mean, a baby... that kinda' stings your pride. But when we squared off at the Royal Raceway against you and lost, I was even more embarrassed. Then when I got back to my dorm that night and looked at the ceiling while laying in the cover, I realized that it was just me. I mean, even though you were sick and almost killed, I felt that you were an actual adversary for me. You really have it in you, Baby.
Baby Mario: I know... now let's go eat, okay?
Tip Tup: ...Okay, but how do I get over what just happened?
Baby Mario: You can always laugh it off.
Tip Tup: (^_^) Yeah, that's true.
Though rivals, Baby Mario and Tip Tup went back to the table hand in hand. Maybe reasoning gave Tip Tup a second wind which was greatly needed, then again, maybe the turtle needed some more courage.

DKR
Taj: Bowser, Krunch, step forward please. (both moved up) It's your turn to race here in Fossil Canyon. Shake hands and get ready to race your three laps.
[After shaking, the two lined up at the line. Bowser feeling confident in his orange kart with a green stripe and his bracelet as his symbol, finally has the chance to show who is the real road racer.]
Bowser: Ready to lose, "son"?
Krunch: Ready when you are, "old man".
Bowser: They say gator meat is tasty, let's see if it's true.
Krunch: My win... That's all this is. "Spikey" won't beat me now.
Taj: Okay you two, this is for the flag... GO!
And off they went. The two were neck and neck at the start of the race and their teammates cheered them on. [Around the first turn, Krunch nabbed a Mine Box as Bowser went wide to snag a Bouncy. On the second zipper, Krunch blazed off and dropped the box on it. Bowser saw this and shot it.]
Bowser: What a waste of a good weapon... Oh well, it won't matter when I win.
[It wasn't long before Bowser caught up with Krunch.]
Bowser: That trap was so cute that I had t waste my missile on it.
Krunch: I'm glad you liked it.
As they entered the tunnel, both teams watched in the booth. {Must they always do this?}
Mario: I really don't know who to go for in this race.
Shadow: Why do you say that?
Mario: Bowser's my enemy and Krunch is my rival's friend.
Diddy: Whoa, whoa, let's get a few things straight. Krunch is not my friend Mario.. not no way, not no how! We just... er... have an understanding right now.
Luigi: Okay.
Timber: As long as we don't pull anything threatening to the other kremlings, he won't be troubling us anytime soon.
Pipsy: That's a nice story, but let's get back to the race now. {Tinky, Pipsy.}
The two racers have exited the tunnel and are on the final turn. Bowser swung left, while Krunch took the right, and oddly enough, finished the first lap at the same time.
Krunch: How ya' doing?
Bowser: Bad... and you?
Krunch: Worse. You know for rivals, we sure are on the same page.
Bowser: Yeah, you're all right. But don't think I'm not going to give you all I've got, 'cause I am!
Krunch: That's cool. Bye!
[During that little chat, Krunch hit the zipper and took the lead. Bowser wasn't stressing though, he just fired his Homer and knocked Krunch over the second zipper. As the kremling recovered, Bowser hit the next zipper to pass him by.]
Bowser: (:P) See ya'!
Krunch wasn't easily defeated, and he proved that when he hit the zipper that shot him across the lake and took first from Bowser's claws.
Bowser: I can do that too. (smirk)
(Krunch led throughout the tunnel and dropped well placed slicks from his Slickpak and a Danger Bubble before the zipper. Bowser's Shield helped him through safely and popped the bubble) [Then, he grabbed his own Slickpak and fired them before him. Krunch slipped on one of them and crashed into the right wall.]
Bowser: You don't mind that I oiled you down, do you? Haha, I kill myself.
Krunch: I'll kill you too. Homer away!
[Bowser heard the incoming missile and dodged it. All of the DKR racers were shocked to see that.]
Diddy & Timber: How the hell did he do that?
Mario Bros. : Amateurs. Homing Missiles aren't as perfect as you might think.
KT: It'll take more than that to stop a quarter ton turtle.
[As The final lap was left, Krunch was a couple of seconds behind Bowser. The "King" hit every zipper, and so did Krunch.]
Bowser: His race huh? I BEG to differ.
(Krunch passed him while using his Timed Boost and when he did, Bowser lined himself up for the shortcut)
Bowser: Okay wise guy, let's see how you like this.
Bowser lined himself up and executed the shortcut. But because he was so heavy, the turtle landed in the middle of the pool and started sinking. Tip Tup was busting up in laughter in the booths.]
KT: That's messed up.
Mario: What? Bowser landing in the water?
KT: That too, but look at Tip Tup. He's belly up on the floor.
Baby Mario: Kind of like how you were when he got beat up by those penguins huh?
KT: (!o_O) Yeah, yeah.
Tip Tup: (^_^,) Why aren't you laughing, KT? Isn't this funny to you?
KT: No!
Tip Tup: (^_^,) Now you know how I felt.
After the race was over, Bowser finished his lap. Though he was mad, his didn't sweat it. But he saw Tip Tup rolling on the ground in laughter and approached him.
Bowser: And you're laughing because?
Tip Tup: (laughing) Because you had this match won. You were doing great until the hit that cut and landed in the water. When that happened, your chances of winning sunk like the Titanic... Just like you did!
[Tip Tup began crying in laughter and Diddy, Timber and Taj joined him.]
Taj: Sunk like the Titanic. Now that's funny!
DK: (shrugged) Ah well, I guess it's tied again.
Shadow: With everything that's happened right now, there's only one quote that can be said right now, Bowser.
Bowser: And what might that be?
Shadow: "Shit happens, so get on with your life."
RACE WARS TALLY DKR-6 MKR-6
After that race, it was 3:45 p.m.. The racers all enjoyed a snack while they talked.
Timber: So, where are we going to next, Taj?
Taj: Pirate Lagoon, Timber.
Waluigi: Isn't that where the sunken ship is?
Taj: Of course. Conker, Wario, grab your 'crafts and head to the course.
Wario: Water course huh? Things are going to get juicy.
Mario Bros.: Juicy?
Wario: ...What?
Conker: Just you wait, I will break this tie.
Wario: Yeah, whatever. Just watch me sink your hopes of winning.
Diddy: Kind of like how Bowser sunk in Fossil Canyon.
(Tip Tup and Taj cry in laughter)
Bowser: Shit happens...
MKR
As the day began to end, Mario and the gang headed back to Peach's castle.
Mario: I can't believe that the match is tied again.
Luigi: It's not like we can't still win the match.
Peach: Stop acting like a defenseless mouse you guys. We have to get things back in our favor.
Fuchsia: Only Wario can do this, no one else. We just have to trust him.
Luigi: Is that possible?
Shadow: Listen to yourselves! You all sound confused, stop it now. I know how much you despise Wario, but we all shall soon see who will regain the lead. (leaves) You all need some self control and trust in your allies. When you learn to do this, I will return.
Fuchsia: Wh.. where are you going?
Shadow: Away, to see what was up with Toad. If I see him, I will tell him about what's going on. Until then...
(Shadow closes the door and hops in Toad's kart. Then he drove off into the mountains)
Shadow: This team needs improvement and badly.
Toad: They will improve, Shadow. You said the right thing back there, and with those words, they will pull themselves together. How's it going otherwise?
Shadow: Slow, but don't worry, I will prevail. However, I had to subdue a certain genie. To think, I tried to give him some advice...
Toad: I know, but don't fret, give them this chance to redeem themselves.
DKR
Krunch: Conker man, you've got to win this one for us.
Conker: This is just payback for me. How they just knocked me off the Skyscraper almost taking my life. Now... it's vengeance time!
Timber: Are you okay?
Conker: Just thinking, that's all. You can't believe how psyched up I am.
Darion: ...I think I know...
Conker: Only you would, wouldn't you X?
Darion: Of course.
Drumstick: At least now we can make a comeback against Mario and those clowns.
TT: Conker, you should relax about everything. You don't need to feel any pressure right now, so let's relax and have a good break. This way, you can race great later.
Conker: When are we racing anyway?
Diddy: From what I heard from my uncle, after supper. So chill and get your strength high... you'll need it.
Meanwhile, Taj and DK count the flags and record everything.
Taj: Darkwater Beach. Toad and TT tie the match.
DK: 1-1, tie match.
Taj: Skyscraper. Wario, Bowser and KT beat Conker three on one.
DK: 2-1, MKR leads.
Taj: Darkmoon Caverns. X beats Shadow.
DK: 2-2, tie match.
Taj: Royal Raceway. Baby Mario beats Tip Tup while sick, pees on course and Peach gets mad.
DK: 3-2, MKR leads again.
Taj: Bowser's Castle. Three on one member Drumstick ties with Yoshi.
DK: 4-3, MKR.
Taj: Fire Mountain. Diddy wins contest against Mario.
DK: 4-4, tie match.
Taj: Donut Plains. Peach and Pipsy tie.
DK: 5-5, match still tied.
Taj: Sherbert Land. Tip Tup quits against Baby Mario.
DK: Tip Tup gets butt kicked by penguins (chuckle). 6-5, MKR leads with a laugh.
Taj: You're as bad as Bowser!
DK: Not even close.
Taj: (sigh) Let's move on. Fossil Canyon Krunch wins against Bowser who sinks like Titanic (cries laughing)! Tip Tup gets payback.
DK: 6-6, tie a-gain. You know what would be nice to see? Diddy and his friends actually take the lead.
Taj: Am I hearing you right? What are you saying? {To quote the Hurricane, "What's up with that?"}
DK: Look, it's not that I'm tired of seeing my friends take the lead on my nephew's friends. But it seems that no matter how hard they try, they just can't seem for some reason to actually take the lead in Race Wars.
Taj: That's a good point, not to mention a right one. Diddy just hasn't come up wind and lead at all yet.
Though this was true, the thing that none of them expected was that Diddy was listening to them the whole time. (Diddy held his head down in shame as he walked away)
Diddy: I can believe Uncle Donkey saying this, but Taj? Boy you really don't know how much that hurts... (\_/) But that's all going to change, just you wait and see. We'll show you... you and Mario and his friends.
DK: I know I'm sounding like I've lost faith in my nephew, but I haven't. Never. How can I lose faith in him, he's my nephew?
Taj: I don't know. Are you supposed to?
DK: Of course not. (:P) Say Taj, who's the genie lady in this picture?
Taj: I don't know of any genie lady!
DK: (hands picture to Taj) What about that one?
Taj: (blushing) Oh, that's just an old friend.
DK: More like an old flame to me.
Taj: Knock it off, will ya'?

[Wario stands in front of his house in the wind, holding one of his bombs. Waluigi walks up to his brother's left.]
Waluigi: It's almost time. Ready to whoop him one more time?
Wario: Always have been, always will be. It's time for more squirrel beatin'.
Waluigi: It looks like we have this won.
Wario: Of course. Well let's go, I can't wait anymore.
Waluigi: I'm right behind you.
[The two jump in their hovercrafts and head to Peach's castle.]

DKR
It was now time for the racers to finally got down to business. Taj was with Conker in the lagoon, waiting for Wario to show up. Conker: Where is that no good, chunky butt, crude son of a-
Wario: Okay, I'm here.
[Wario showed up with DK and the rest of the MKR racers.]
Taj: Now that you're here Wario, we can get down to the race. Okay, shake hands.
[Just so he can be a good sport, Wario held his hand out to Conker. But Conker did something that no one would think he would do, he spit in Wario's glove.] (Wario laughed for a while, then spat in Conker's face. Conker flipped Wario off, {Ah, you're not supposed to blur the finger.} Wario flipped Conker off and the two began to fight)
Yoshi: All right, another one.
DK: First Peach and Pipsy, now Conker and Wario?
Mario: Conker didn't have to spit in Wario's open gesture though.
Baby Mario: Maybe Taj should just let them fight.... (Conker and Wario fall into the water) O-kay, maybe we should stop them.
Timber: Hey Luigi, where's Shadow?
Luigi: Don't worry about him, he went to see Toad.
[Meanwhile, Wario and Conker were lifted out of the water by Taj's magic.]
Taj: I see that you forgot what I said.
Wario: This wouldn't have happened if that rodent didn't spit in my glove.
Conker: Kiss my ass, Wario!
Wario: My left foot would be glad to do that!
Mario: Knock it off you guys. Listen, you can whoop on each other later, but get the flag now!
After the two were calmed and somewhat reformed, they dried themselves off, went into their 'crafts and got ready to race.
Taj: Now that the friendly spar is over, we can get to the flag race. This is a three lap race and I want to see those Missiles fly! BOMBSAWAY you two... GO!
[Both racers blazed off down the line. On the line, things were neck and neck, but on the first turn, Conker took the lead. Wario responded with a Thunder Bullet and ran over Conker.]
Wario: See you later, roadkill (laugh).
Conker: That does it! Now it's time to dominate!
[Entering the tunnel on the second turn, Wario seemed to have things made. However, Conker made sure that Wario was in for a good run for his coins, despite the fact he was two whole seconds behind Wario. Exiting into the third turn, Wario missed the zipper, but Conker hit it and the race was tied again.] In the booths, the racers watched as they hit turns four and five.
Mario: This race seems tight.
Diddy: Don't get your hopes up just yet, this race just started.
Mario: I'm not doing that, I'm simply foreshadowing.
Timber: How about foreshadowing team DKR taking the lead?
Mario: Sorry, I just don't see that...
Diddy & Timber: Not yet, anyway.
As the second lap came to it's first turn, this time, the Thunder Bullet hit the other driver and the other driver got ran over.
Conker: Who's the roadkill, now?
Wario: Cocky huh? Well let's see you win...
[As Conker entered the tunnel, he had a good two second lead on Wario, but Wario had an evile grin on his face.]
Wario: I hope you run into my trap...
Conker: I'm winning, I'm winning, I'm--Damn!
[Conker was drunk on his own pride that he didn't see the Mine Box that Wario placed on the previous lap and ran into it. {Ha ha!} Wario then regained first.]
Wario: Silly Conker, Trix are for kids!
Conker: This isn't over yet.
As the race went into the final lap, each racer was neck and neck. They stayed that way for the whole race, even while crossing the line.
DK: Great, another tie. I guess it's seven up huh?
Taj: Of course it is... and once again, the rounds are even for both sides.
Shadow: I see that I didn't miss much, but I'm not back yet.
Mario: Where are you now, Shadow?
Shadow: On my way back right now, but I'll see you in the morning. Oh, by the way, Toad sends his love and will be back ASAP. He still has a few things to sort out, but other than that, he's okay.
Fuchsia: That's great to hear.
Shadow: Oh, he did want me to deliver a message to you Fuchsia.
Fuchsia: What is it?
Shadow: "Don't worry about me so much, I'm fine. Yes I miss you too, but don't breakdown while I'm away, okay?"
Fuchsia: Okay Toad, for you.
[scene change to Shadow driving back to Mushroom Kingdom in Toad's kart.]
Shadow: She's a good mushroom to you Toad, a fine prize for yourself.
Toad: I'm glad that you like her...
Shadow: She wants to be my friend.
Toad: So, be her friend.
Shadow: I don't make friends.
Toad: Then what am I supposed to be?
Shadow: An ally.
Toad: Well, Fuchsia wants to be another one of your allies. Will you let her?
Shadow: Perhaps, but only if she is worthy... Only time will tell if she is.
