Redline Page #6

Uh-oh!

Colonel Volton's getting serious.

He kicked me!

I have to end this!

Lynchman!

Johnny, come close to me.

Okay!

Time to use the thunderbolt!

Rotate 120 degrees!

On it!

Sh*t, I missed!

We did it!

Launch flares!

That should teach them a lesson.

Those racers are as good as dead.

There's no need for any further attack.

Mr. President, did you think I'd stop now?

You can't afford to take pity on scum like them.

Very well, then.

Damn, I can't break them.

Yes, you can! Just trust yourself!

What's this place?

I'll get you out of there, Sonoshee.

That's a bioweapon.

Isn't it violating the peace treaty?

I have a feeling we're not supposed to be seeing this.

How is this possible?

This is a nightmare.

Mr. President, we can't let Funky Boy destroy Roboworld.

It will be considered a breach of the peace treaty.

We must take measures immediately.

You must make a decision, sir!

Mr. President!

We have the hyper-disintegrator cannons back on line.

They'll be ready to fire as soon as charging completes.

Hail the President!

Target Funky Boy. He's out of control!

Yes, sir.

Target's set. We're ready to fire.

Take him down in one shot!

Okay, give the command.

Fire the cannons!

Firing!

Princess!

Excellent! We've wiped them out.

Energy discharge complete.

We're recharging.

This can't be happening.

Are they really dead?

I don't believe this.

They actually used the hyper-disintegrator cannon.

It looks like everyone's been wiped out.

That bastard planted something!

Sonoshee, you all right?

JP.

You okay, Captain Sabose?

I'm fine.

How many planes are left?

18, including the ones that are damaged.

16 sand-bikers left in another unit.

The crow jet unit's totally wiped out.

I see...

The RED-RACERS are in equally bad shape.

Wait for Colonel Volton's order.

Roger out.

You came all this way to win REDLINE, right?

I'm only halfway there.

I didn't get to see the finish line.

I'll show you. Not much room, but you don't mind, right?

It'll be too heavy. You can't win.

Yes, l will!

We'll win this together.

That's sweet, JP, but I have to ask something.

Ask me later. We've got a race to run.

No. I need to ask you now.

Okay, shoot.

Have you been arrested for fixing a race?

Yeah.

What happened?

It was the Yellow MAX series eight years ago.

Our team was on a hot winning streak.

Frisbee decided to hook up with the mafia,

so he could get a better engine and parts.

I entered the race with his life on the line...

and I lost.

After that, he desperately needed the money.

But there was a sting operation against the Inuki gang.

Frisbee was trapped.

That friggin' Frisbee's gonna get JP killed!

So you went to prison for him.

He believed in me and risked his life so I could race.

I'll always owe him for that.

Then we'll just have to pay him back with this race!

You're gonna help me?

If you'll help me make my dream come true.

It's a deal!

He can regenerate.

There must have been some pieces of him left.

Secretary Titan!

Fire the hyper-disintegrator cannon again!

Negative. We need another two hours to recharge it.

Where's Volton now?

I never thought I'd see the day. Is it ready?

Yes, it's ready!

Can we control it?

With your skill, no problem.

You just like the idea of getting new data, don't you?

Very well. Proceed.

Oh, no!

Princess!

This feels great! Wonderful!

I can feel the power!

Let's get out of here, Shinkai!

Okay!

All right! Gori-police custom rider!

You morons! The RED-RACERS are on the move again.

Go after them!

Yes, sir!

We should get going.

This is the machine your friend built...

Yeah.

You ready?

Yeah.

With the beefed up stove you gave me,

Sonoshee and I will blast to the top!

Your friend has done well.

Yes.

It's about time we wrapped this up.

We're in third. The odds are looking up.

That should give us enough.

No reason to be greedy and end up in the hole.

It's time for Plan B.

Wait until JP grabs the lead, please.

You promised me!

Then here's a check!

I'll double your pay this time. Take it!

We're running out of time.

I'm paying both you and JP more than enough money.

So why are you complaining? Give me the detonator!

I just gotta see this race to the end. Please.

We, no...

I wanna see him win!

Sorry, buddy.

You know I'm just doing my job, right?

I don't wanna hurt you. Just hand me the damn thing.

Over my dead body!

Suit yourself!

Bye-bye!

Old man, what are you doing here?

I'll keep this with me for now.

I didn't come here to save you, you know!

It's just that the team mechanic's gotta see the race through.

The driver, the mechanic, and the junk dealer...

Those three make a team, right?

In the lead, God Wing is struggling to stay in control.

This time around, he's sustained quite a bit of damage.

Hey! Move your ass!

Damn! Don't you care about the road?

This is awesome!

The outside is clear!

Can't do that at this speed.

There!

Go for it!

You're here.

I've got you now.

Are you bold enough to use the steamlight, Sonoshee?

Huh? That's the same as yours...

As a courtesy to stubborn racers like you,

I'm trying to make this interesting.

Bring it on!

Behold the platinum nitro charge!

Platinum nitro charge by Machine Head!

The only man to master the steamlight.

Looks like the king's gonna win again!

Hey, Sonoshee!

We made a deal. Make my dream come true, JP!

Second place is mine!

Think you can get me?!

That fool! Steamlight?!

No man can handle that!

You can do it, JP!

You serious?

Dunno.

Funny guy, huh? Let's see what he's got.

Let's roll, Todoroki!

Guts!

Sorry, Deyzuna. Time's up.

Let's go, Shinkai!

Here we come!

Don't leave me!

Too hard to follow.

No way we'll catch up.

Hold on a minute!

Huh?

The finish line is on top of the Dest Tower.

No one can climb up the wall to reach the line!

What's gonna happen?

What's the plan?

You'll see. Just watch.

What?!

Oh my!

The REDLINE committee's mothership came out of hyperdimensional space under the Dest Tower

and became the final straightaway!

You see?

The final straightaway has connected to the finish line!

Sonoshee!

You ready?

JP's moving up like a bullet! What's going on?

Holy cow! Unbelievable!

I'm gonna win!

I'm the king of kings! You know what that means?

It means the victory belongs to me!

I'm gonna win!

I've got the goddess on my side!

Look at that! JP and Sonoshee are coming!

I see it.

JP! You need the edge to win REDLINE!

You don't deserve to win this race!

Goddamn it! I need something to spark this thing up...

Frisbee, got anything?!

You used it all!

Whoa! JP's engine got blown off!

But wait... he's picking up speed somehow!

Victory's mine, JP!

JP!

Sonoshee!

It's JP and Sonoshee! They win!

JP and Sonoshee are first across the line!

JP! JP!

Sonoshee! Sonoshee!

He's done it!

Interesting...

Aw, that's beautiful.

Sonoshee.

I love you.

Cool. I love you too, JP.
