"Jody with your permission?"
"sorry Maria but we need the president's permission for this"
"fine I'll back off for now, however if they try and attack someone don't think I'm just going to stand bye"
"what do you mean by that?"
"wait and see Jody, wait and see"
well the Light member tried to crash someone Maria was right behind and Maria prevented a full on crash by getting between the racer and the guardrail
"this guy would be getting it if the real Captain Falcon was here"
"why is it that he looks like the real Falcon yet doesn't act like him?"
"not sure"
"you know I would even go for Blood Falcon if I could, yeah the guy is creepy looking like Falcon, but hey at least you know it's coming"
"true, now come on there's still two more laps to go and someone from the team has to win"
"right"
well Lucy won that round but the judges didn't mind that Maria had lost, after all even though she didn't win she had put her all into it even after her car got busted up saving another person. After the race
"you're right Maria I did see what you were going to do if the guy tried anything"
"yep it was my plan all along to prevent serious crashes if he tried anything"
"but still if he's pretending to be Captain Falcon where's the real one?"
"that's actually a good question"
"well let's think back to the race first"
"we'll do it at HQ this location isn't secure enough"
"right"
well they get back to earth and a secured location
"OK let's go over all the facts, last year one of the races was sabotaged and Captain Falcon was believed killed because of it"
"now then this is before Maria joined the task-force"
"but I did hear about it in the racing community when it happened"
"everyone that could searched but only his helmet and vehicle were ever found"
"so what happened in between where a member of Light got those two items?"
John speaks up
"and also what happened to Captain Falcon?"
what no one knew was that Light and the Mesanic Brothers were working together and Captain Falcon had found that out before he even knew about Maria. He had been planning on telling the task-force after the race but then the act of sabotage happened and he was taken captive by Light and that's also when he found out about Maria and later on John. He had actually made several escape attempts but all of them failed and he was now permanently chained to the wall except for eating, and even then he was watched very carefully so he couldn't escape.
"if I could get out of here I could warn the intergalactic police of what these guys are planning next"
suddenly the leader of Light came to him
"well Falcon I have some interesting news for you"
"what?"
"as I have probably already told you the rest of the task-force has become samurai, what I haven't told you, mainly because it's recent, is that there were actually more then two survivors of the Red Halls clan"
"what?"
"yes and apparently they're with the task-force and also doing what all samurai do and are helping the police if they can"
"good for them"
well for defiance he was beaten again and deprived of food for the next three days. Three days later the Light finally made a critical mistake. They let the real Falcon under close guard go to the next race under disguise. What the Light forgot was that Captain Falcon was a fighter, had to be to help fight criminal organizations, he also kept spare uniforms at every race track just in case. He even had the Berserker cloak that Andy had used for a short time, and that's the exact disguise he used to get to the president
"how is Berserker here when a few years ago he was Captain Falcon in disguise?"
he reveals himself to the president's samurai guards and fortunately their samurai training kept them from fainting
"this is going to be interesting"
"does the president know that the Captain Falcon that's racing is fake?"
"yes, however you have been thought dead since the sabotaged race"
"I know but those explanations are for the president's ears only"
"right"
and so after a quick word with the president the guard got the real Captain Falcon in to see him
"so care to explain what happened?"
"yes a group called the Light has teamed up with another group called the Mesanic Brothers"
he temporarily stopped when he heard the president growl at those two names
