Miyu grinned to herself as she knew she was the fastest in the Star Fox fleet and could only be challenged in the slightest bit by Leon, and he had already run the course against somebody else. She reveled in victory already from the very start of the race. In her mind, she was trying to determine by how much of a margin, and comparatively, how embarrassingly she was going to make Wolf's loss seem to everyone.\n\tBy the time they were more than halfway to the first curve, Miyu had not only caught up with Wolf, but she began to slowly try to edge past him and pass him for the lead, only to get half a craft-length ahead of him before letting up off the throttle to fall behind him again with ease. [i]“You got nuthin on me for speed and agility, wuffy,”[/i] she thought menacingly. [i]“I think I'll toy with you for a while.”[/i]\n\tWolf's eyes went everywhere as he concentrated on many aspects of the race.... his craft, the track, Miyu's craft and her position, their speeds... he did a double take as he looked over and saw her slowly passing him only to back off, which put him into a mode of confusion as he went back to looking forward. [i] “What the heck...?”[/i] he thought, forcing himself to focus more forward. His proximity alarm with radar was constantly beeping with Miyu's presence closely on his six the whole time as he drove the course, gritting his teeth a bit as he had never felt this amount of stress in a challenge before... not even against Fox in a real dogfight. He chuckled softly seeing how skillful and playful Miyu was being against him, but he couldn't escape the fact he was truly struggling. [i]“Hehe Playful kitty,”[/i] he thought to himself.\n\tMiyu was smiling the whole time as she followed Wolf very closely, her gorgeous blue eyes focusing on him to study his very move as they sped along the road at nearly Mach 1. Even as they shot through the first tunnel, she could even detect Wolf's concentration began to waver as he did his best to keep his Wolfen craft from colliding inside the tunnel. As soon as they exited the tunnel, Miyu immediately moved to try and pass Wolf again, this time on the inside line of the sharp right turn, but once again, she backed off and got right back behind him right as Wolf sharply turned in right to block in the inside line to allow Miyu to pass. \n\tOnce they both exited the corner, Wolf went full on the throttle and utilized some of his boost to escape Miyu's grasp, the stealthy feline grinning toothily as she slowly pushed forward on the throttle to resume her speed without boost, slowly coming in on Wolf's craft with ease. Miyu couldn't help but feel a good sense of revenge for her fellow teammates on Star Fox during this performance by outperforming and outclassing Wolf by so much so easily. She was uncontested as the fastest on the team, and she knew it. But all the while, she kept her pride in check by putting logic and safety first as she kept up with Wolf.\n\t\n\t--The Star Fox Tent--\n\n\tEveryone stood around in the tent watching the drone footage of the race right beside Miyu and Wolf as they went down the track, even Leon standing in curiosity while drinking sports drink with Falco. “If I didn't know any better, I would say that O'Donnell appears to be struggling a bit in this race against Lieutenant Lynx,” Markinson said on the live program.\n\t“It certainly appears that way, but this is so very early in the race, we have a lot to go before we can even make a guesstimate,” Drummond said in reply.\n\t“O'Donnell being the captain and leader of Star Wolf definitely has the leadership and charisma for his position, being able to keep his cool in even the most stressful situations... but then again... Lynx is faster and in a faster craft, so I expect her to pass him at any time and stay ahead,” Clay said.\n\t“I completely agree,” Markinson replied as the program and the live footage continued.\n\t“The comical hosts have pretty much narrowed it down to a tee,” Leon said in his usual calm voice. “Wolf definitely has a high level of concentration and threshold to pain and stress. It won't be whether or not he can handle the race, but whether he can stay ahead of Lt Lynx or not, which I will admit... may prove to be a big challenge even for him.”\n\t“Miyu is our fastest and in our fastest craft. Our ace in the hole, sort of,” Fox said softly.\n\t“I'm glad she's piloting that Interceptor,” Falco said flatly. “I wasn't too keen of it when it was first delivered to us by Arspace Dynamics.”\n\t“I don't think any of us at the time really liked it,” Slippy said.\n\t“Seriously? I thought it was quite amazing when I had it on test during it's infancy,” Fara said proudly with a smile. Her many years as the lead test pilot for Arspace Dynamics were very productive and meaningful for Corneria. She even lead the production and testing of the original SFX Arwing when she and Fox first met before her father became Premier of Corneria.\n\t“I'm very surprised to hear that,” Leon said. “Especially from the fastest in the team,” he continued with a smile and a pat on Falco's shoulder.\n\tFalco smiled from the support and recognition from Leon and chuckled a little. “Well, it IS fast, don't get me wrong, but it's like a paper airplane for armor. You can't take much damage in combat, so you have to be extraordinarily fast in order to use that. Hence why Miyu pilots it,” the tall pheasant said.\n\t“She is frighteningly fast in that ship,” Fay said in her usual chipper and happy way. “The only person I could ever imagine would be an equal challenge for her in combat is you, Leon.”\n\t“Hehehe... I'll be honest, I was hoping the dice were gonna roll that way, but I am more than happy and satisfied with what I got,” Leon said as he stood next to Falco the whole time.\n\t“As am I, good buddy,” Falco said, giving a brofist to the tall reptilian.\n\t“But I must say, when it comes down to close matches, it will definitely be between Leo and Panther considering their difference of craft, their restricted power outputs, vehicle sizes and weights, skills, capabilities... everything will depend largely on them,” Leon said smoothly.\n\tPeppy then looked out at Leo and Panther's craft on the starting line with each of them sitting inside calmly in preparation for their turn at the race. Everyone continued to chat and watch the live race footage as Miyu and Wolf continued down the track, their craft now in the long and soft double right-hander before the second tunnel. Peppy then walked towards Leo's car and knocked on the passenger side window of his Speedwell, rolling his paw in a circle to signal him to roll it down to talk. Leo did so from the main power window switch on the driver's door panel. “How are you feeling there, Leo?” Peppy asked softly.\n\t“Doing fine,” he said, not entirely able to hide his nervousness and anxiety from the upcoming race. It was the final duel before the end of the Grand Prix, after all.\n\t“Listen, I have some advice concerning your race,” Peppy said. \n\t“Like you, I am all ears,” Leo replied with a bit of a grin, making Peppy grin.\n\t“Well... we've been watching everyone in the event all day long, and not only have you and Panther run very similar performances during the mile-long brackets, you are both extremely close in this event as well,” Peppy started. “So this race is going to be pivotal for the win. Considering many options I have a couple of instructions for you that I think will help.”\n\t“Understood,” Leo said softly with a slow nod.\n\t“First thing,” Peppy said, reaching in to tilt his rearview mirror up to face the headliner. “Don't bother looking in the rearview. Miyu is highly likely to come back well ahead of Wolf, which means you'll start off first, leaving Panther to chase. You KNOW he will be behind you. No need to stress out in looking back at the obvious. Just keep your eyes and concentration forward where they need to be.”\n\t“Logical,” Leo said. “And the other...?”\n\t“Because you will start off in the lead, you'll want to be your own predator against a predator... so while you are in front of Panther, keep your engine power outputs at a maximum of 80% until Panther passes you,” Peppy said. “I just know that the feeling of being behind you and the desire to pass you for good is gonna irk Panther to no end, so play on that to your advantage.”\n\tLeo couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement. “Sounds good to me. We ARE tricksters after all.”\n\tBut Peppy couldn't match Leo's enthusiasm... “One more thing Leo... and I'm not telling you this to scare you or anything... but that man is a ruthless and evil being. In his history in Star Wolf, we witnessed him engage in the murder of tens of thousands of innocent civilians and hundreds of craft... all by contract. He may not have much beyond the purse of this race to receive, which pales in comparison to what he must've been paid during the war... but he is still relentless. He absolutely HATES losing. I wouldn't put it past him to try something during the race to get you out of his way... legal or not.”\n\tLeo's heart beat faster in a mix of excitement and fright at this news, not totally surprised to hear it, but just hearing it in the affirmative from a senior member of Star Fox only cemented the fact deeper in his mind. “A-alright, Pep,” Leo said softly.\n\t“You'll be fine, son,” Peppy said. “Just do your best, but be safe and careful at the same time. We need you back in the end.”\n\tLeo simply nodded as Peppy then walked back towards the tent, Leo rolling the passenger side window back up and continued to sit in his car with the engines idling gently. His head couldn't help but slowly turn over to Panther in his Wolfen Black Rose, the tall dark feline sitting with his eyes closed. After only a few seconds, he then looked forward down the road, patiently awaiting for Miyu to return from her run...\n\n\t--exit of the second tunnel, 50% of the course remaining--\n\n\tWolf's radar was constantly ringing softly as Miyu kept on his six by less than a dozen feet or so constantly, Miyu starting to weave back and forth from left to right to try and stir up Wolf's nerves. Wolf chuckled and grinned at her motions as they sped off down the roads towards the next turn, a left-hander before a long sharp right turn into the entrance to the longest and narrowest tunnel. Miyu kept on with her hijinks of stirring up Wolf's nerves, making it difficult to read what Miyu was intending to do. The whole situation make Wolf feel like a mouse being toyed with by this feline, but he kept his eyes and mind forward.\n\tMiyu smiled as they both entered the tunnel at nearly Mach 1, her stealthy and deadly Interceptor maneuvered inside the compact space of the long narrow tunnel perfectly where Wolf's Redfang was struggling to maintain position in the tunnel without bumping a wingtip into the pavement or the inner concrete linings of the tunnel. He definitely wasn't used to having such a narrow and limited space to move around in, but he was doing his best to maintain his pace, despite the incredible level of stress it was putting him through. [i]“Don't crash here, wuffy. I still got one hot ass to show you,”[/i] Miyu thought to herself quietly with a giggle.\t\n\tThe situation remained unchanged as they both entered the third and longest tunnel of the course, Miyu clinging close to Wolf's backside the whole way, the strong lynx slowly rotating her craft clockwise before reversing her rotation again, continuing to show off in an effort to get Wolf to crack. All audiences around the Lylat were getting a good dose of comedy from this as the high-speed drones following them recorded the performance of them both. \n\tBy the time they had both exited the tunnel and headed for the last two turns before the final tunnel, they were still in the same position, Wolf just barely ahead and struggling. It was then that Miyu sighed softly and began to focus harder on her piloting, preparing for her attack. [i]“Almost there, wuffy... are you watching closely?”[/i] she thought with mischief on her mind, backing off Wolf by about 50 feet. Once the soft left-hand turn began, Wolf immediately began to slowly verge into the inside line which made Miyu begin to accelerate and verge towards the outside line, making an attempt to pass on the outside.\n\tWolf's eyes widened as his attention then suddenly went to Miyu's totally unexpected movement, his reaction quick to veer into her path of travel to block her. [i]“The hell are you trying to do, little kitten???”[/i] he thought to himself as he fought to stabilize his craft in the outside lanes after his quick maneuver, but then his heart sank when his radar displayed that Miyu's craft then began to barrel roll to the left in a counter-clockwise rotation towards the inside line right as she enabled her boosters to zoom right by his craft to take the lead. [i]“Dammit!”[/i]\n\tMiyu grinned toothily as she took the lead and began to softly wiggle her craft from left to right a little as if she were wiggling her own ass in his direction. [i]“Get a good look and start strokin, big boy... cuz that is all your efforts are going to amount to!”[/i] Miyu thought with a chuckle. The road then straightened out for about 4 or 5 miles as they accelerated towards the final turn before the final tunnel, Wolf using a lot of boost while Miyu only used her boost in short bursts to easily maintain the lead. \n\t“What an amazing pass by Lt Lynx there!” Drummond commented on the television program being broadcast.\n\t“She is quite speedy and maneuverable, for certain,” Clay said.\n\t“As predicted, she was able to make a pass on O'Donnell,” Markinson said. “All that is left is to see how Lynx completes this course and how much of a lead she will give Capt Cuttridge for the final run of the event!”\n\tMiyu continued to wiggle from side to side in front of Wolf all the way to the sharp curve ahead, Miyu maintaining a minor lead in front of Wolf as she fired her air brakes and retro boosters to slow down for the curve, making a sharp right hand turn at slow speed which she handled flawlessly. Wolf had to brake harder and quicker in order to make the turn, not to mention approach it slightly slower than Miyu in order to stay on the track. But once she got to the straightaway, she got serious. [i]“Hope you enjoyed dis ass... cuz now it's GONE!”[/i] she thought to herself as she suddenly slammed forward on her throttle to go into full boost, rocketing away from Wolf, her speed increasing rapidly, very quickly surpassing Mach 1 and continued to rise.\n\tWolf gasped as he watched Miyu shoot away from him at great speed, his reaction to also go all the way forward on this throttle to try and keep up. Despite his efforts, his craft continued to slowly fall behind Miyu as she flew further and further away from him, his Redfang no match for Miyu's Interceptor as she entered the final tunnel. He gritted his teeth and grunted in frustration as he put all his concentration not only to try and keep up with Miyu, but to also refrain from colliding into the walls of the tunnel, which his less maneuverable craft was struggling with greatly at this moment, forcing him to back off the throttle and correct his pitch and angle to the turn in micro movements repeatedly several times a second, his stabilizers working overtime to keep him in the air. [i]“DAMMIT!”[/i]\n\tMiyu breathed deep and slow through her mouth as she focused sharply on maintaining her lead, her craft soaring down the road into four-digit speeds and still climbing as she held down on her boost the whole time, every muscle in her body flexing, her body hot as her heart beat rapidly as her sharp predatory feline eyes focused with all her concentration, shooting out of the end of the tunnel at great speed. She was traveling so fast through the tunnel that the drone following the pair were unable to keep up with them, the sports program showing waiting video feed from the final drone about 100 feet beyond the exit of the final tunnel, the video getting shaky as Miyu passed it at nearly Mach 2, and Wolf's craft passing it at a considerably slower rate of speed.\n\n\t--The start/finish line...--\n\n\t“Okay Leo, Miyu is coming on her way back, and she is a-movin,” Peppy said into the coms.\n\t“Roger that Pep, I see her,” Leo said, his eyes focusing down the road at the sight of Miyu's Interceptor. His foot slowly went down on the accelerator to rev up his engines to higher power output, the gentle whine of the jet engines gently getting louder and louder as he prepared for takeoff.\n\t“Make sure you do a count on how many seconds it takes for you to pass by Wolf on his way back,” Peppy quickly added.\n\t“Roger that!” Leo added just as fast.\n\tMiyu's Interceptor rocketed at max speed down the final few miles of road back to the start/finish line, her speed in excess of Mach 2 as she hovered only 10-15 feet above the ground, her voice shouting out on the coms line as she approached. “GO LEO, GOOOOO!!!” Once he saw her craft pass the line, he when down on the accelerator and let off the brake, his Speedwell shooting off the line much faster than it would stock and unmodified. The G forces put his back into the seat firmly for several seconds as he easily and quickly went into triple digit speeds in very short time as he began to call out the count on the coms line... “One-thousand-one, one-thousand-two...” He continued to drive at max acceleration as he kept his eyes on the road to stay on it as well as noticing Wolf's Redfang craft coming back to the finish line... “...one-thousand-five, one-thousand-six, one-thousand-seven—AND A HALF,” he said into the coms.\n\t“You've got between a 15- and 16-second lead on Panther, so go as fast as you can with just normal acceleration. Remember, let him catch up to you with a maximum 80% throttle,” Peppy said.\n\t“Understood,” Leo said, his concentration going fully forward as he began to see the first turn, a gentle left-hander where he could keep his speed up. His eyes continually darted down to his gauges, watching his power outputs on his rear engines to keep them around 80% for as long as he could for now...\n\t“Come on O'Donnell, dammit,” Panther seethed quietly to himself, his teeth bared as he throttled forward a bit to power brake behind the line as he waited for Wolf to cross the line, Wolf flying past him a good 15 seconds after Leo's departure. Panther immediately went into boost in an attempt to catch up to Leo as they both took off in the final run of the race.\n\tWolf and Miyu parked their craft beside Leon and Falco's craft by the tent and exited, both of them walking towards each other and shaking hands happily. “My lady, I am truly thankful we never got into a dogfight... because I would've easily been killed by you,” Wolf said with a satisfied smile.\n\tMiyu giggled with a smile to Wolf's words, her gorgeous blue eyes connecting with his one. “Hehehe You are still quite a wonderful pilot yourself, Mr Wolf,” Miyu replied with a smile in return. She then stood by Wolf's side and playfully nudged his hip with hers. “So what did ya think of dat ass?” she said with a wink.\n\tWolf couldn't help but chuckle with a blush. “I thought it was quite lovely, ma'am,” he replied, resisting the urge to touching Miyu's ass in any way, knowing she was quite well physically built and skilled to beat his ass if he tried it. They laughed together as they were welcomed back to the tent, hugs, brofists and handshakes being shared by everyone. \n\tFox smiled and shook Wolf's hand. “Quite the challenge, wasn't she sir?” he asked Wolf.\n\t“That is to put it very mildly,” Wolf said with pride and glee. “She is definitely the fastest here with possible challenge from Leon here.”\n\t“That's exactly what I was thinking!” Fay said happily.\n\tFara then approached Wolf and gave him a hug, a sensation Wolf hadn't felt in many years and truly did not expect to experience ever again due to his past traitorous actions. “You did great out there, mate,” Fara said softly.\n\t“Thank you so much, Fara,” Wolf said, his eye watering a bit. He then looked to Fox and held his and Fara's hand softly together. “You both WILL let me know when the wedding date is gonna be, won't you?”\n\tFox and Fara smiled in surprise, then looked at each other and nodded. “You got it, Wolf. Thank you so much,” Fox replied happily. \n\tWolf smiled and nodded, then brought them both together in a hug, holding them close while fighting back tears. “You're both gonna get along just fine.”\n\tMiyu went right for Krystal and gave her a hug and jumped up and down happily with her as they both giggled happily. “Eeee... congrats, sexy lynxy,” Krystal said with a smile, giving Miyu a kiss on the lips.\n\t“Why, thank you, my lovely vixy,” Miyu replied, their tails wagging happily behind them as they stood together. “Let's go watch our bunny now, shall we?”\n\t“Yes, let's,” Miyu said happily, taking a sports drink from Krystal as they stood around ROB as he broadcast the event from one of his built-in projectors onto the canvas wall of the tent. One screen off to the left showed the TV broadcast while another screen off to the right showed Leo and Panther's vital statistics and vehicle stats and information. \n\t“And so as the drumrolls begin, the crowd are at their feet all across Lylat in earnest anticipation in this last event, the final race of the Grand Prix, Captain Leo Cuttridge battling against Panther Caruso for all the glory and the recognition. And the prize money, of course,” Markinson said on the TV.\n\t“That was rubbish commentary, mate, but you are right,” Drummond replied with a chuckle.\n\t“Yeah, it did sound very Parkinsonian,” Clay added, referencing a recently deceased news commentator known for many years for his expertise in interviewing.\n\t“Whatever, whatever, the fact remains, it all boils down to this,” Markinson added quickly while trying his best to stifle a laugh. “Both drivers are similar in speed, dexterity, and very close together in skill, it will be a literal right-down-the-middle race where a coin flip would be just as likely an outcome. Who will come out victorious? The next 15 minutes or so will give us all the answer!”\n\t\n\t", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "This story is fictional and for entertainment purposes only; no money hath changed hands in the production of these works.

\tMiyu and Wolf flew down the road at very high speed towards the first turn of the track, Miyu catching up to Wolf in his Wolfen Redfang in short time with little effort.  Miyu grinned to herself as she knew she was the fastest in the Star Fox fleet and could only be challenged in the slightest bit by Leon, and he had already run the course against somebody else.  She reveled in victory already from the very start of the race.  In her mind, she was trying to determine by how much of a margin, and comparatively, how embarrassingly she was going to make Wolf's loss seem to everyone.
\tBy the time they were more than halfway to the first curve, Miyu had not only caught up with Wolf, but she began to slowly try to edge past him and pass him for the lead, only to get half a craft-length ahead of him before letting up off the throttle to fall behind him again with ease.  “You got nuthin on me for speed and agility, wuffy,” she thought menacingly.  “I think I'll toy with you for a while.”
\tWolf's eyes went everywhere as he concentrated on many aspects of the race.... his craft, the track, Miyu's craft and her position, their speeds... he did a double take as he looked over and saw her slowly passing him only to back off, which put him into a mode of confusion as he went back to looking forward. “What the heck...?” he thought, forcing himself to focus more forward.  His proximity alarm with radar was constantly beeping with Miyu's presence closely on his six the whole time as he drove the course, gritting his teeth a bit as he had never felt this amount of stress in a challenge before... not even against Fox in a real dogfight.  He chuckled softly seeing how skillful and playful Miyu was being against him, but he couldn't escape the fact he was truly struggling.  “Hehe Playful kitty,” he thought to himself.
\tMiyu was smiling the whole time as she followed Wolf very closely, her gorgeous blue eyes focusing on him to study his very move as they sped along the road at nearly Mach 1.  Even as they shot through the first tunnel, she could even detect Wolf's concentration began to waver as he did his best to keep his Wolfen craft from colliding inside the tunnel.  As soon as they exited the tunnel, Miyu immediately moved to try and pass Wolf again, this time on the inside line of the sharp right turn, but once again, she backed off and got right back behind him right as Wolf sharply turned in right to block in the inside line to allow Miyu to pass.  
\tOnce they both exited the corner, Wolf went full on the throttle and utilized some of his boost to escape Miyu's grasp, the stealthy feline grinning toothily as she slowly pushed forward on the throttle to resume her speed without boost, slowly coming in on Wolf's craft with ease.  Miyu couldn't help but feel a good sense of revenge for her fellow teammates on Star Fox during this performance by outperforming and outclassing Wolf by so much so easily.  She was uncontested as the fastest on the team, and she knew it.  But all the while, she kept her pride in check by putting logic and safety first as she kept up with Wolf.
\t
\t--The Star Fox Tent--

\tEveryone stood around in the tent watching the drone footage of the race right beside Miyu and Wolf as they went down the track, even Leon standing in curiosity while drinking sports drink with Falco.  “If I didn't know any better, I would say that O'Donnell appears to be struggling a bit in this race against Lieutenant Lynx,” Markinson said on the live program.
\t“It certainly appears that way, but this is so very early in the race, we have a lot to go before we can even make a guesstimate,” Drummond said in reply.
\t“O'Donnell being the captain and leader of Star Wolf definitely has the leadership and charisma for his position, being able to keep his cool in even the most stressful situations... but then again... Lynx is faster and in a faster craft, so I expect her to pass him at any time and stay ahead,” Clay said.
\t“I completely agree,” Markinson replied as the program and the live footage continued.
\t“The comical hosts have pretty much narrowed it down to a tee,” Leon said in his usual calm voice.  “Wolf definitely has a high level of concentration and threshold to pain and stress.  It won't be whether or not he can handle the race, but whether he can stay ahead of Lt Lynx or not, which I will admit... may prove to be a big challenge even for him.”
\t“Miyu is our fastest and in our fastest craft.  Our ace in the hole, sort of,” Fox said softly.
\t“I'm glad she's piloting that Interceptor,” Falco said flatly.  “I wasn't too keen of it when it was first delivered to us by Arspace Dynamics.”
\t“I don't think any of us at the time really liked it,” Slippy said.
\t“Seriously?  I thought it was quite amazing when I had it on test during it's infancy,” Fara said proudly with a smile.  Her many years as the lead test pilot for Arspace Dynamics were very productive and meaningful for Corneria.  She even lead the production and testing of the original SFX Arwing when she and Fox first met before her father became Premier of Corneria.
\t“I'm very surprised to hear that,” Leon said.  “Especially from the fastest in the team,” he continued with a smile and a pat on Falco's shoulder.
\tFalco smiled from the support and recognition from Leon and chuckled a little.  “Well, it IS fast, don't get me wrong, but it's like a paper airplane for armor.  You can't take much damage in combat, so you have to be extraordinarily fast in order to use that.  Hence why Miyu pilots it,” the tall pheasant said.
\t“She is frighteningly fast in that ship,” Fay said in her usual chipper and happy way.  “The only person I could ever imagine would be an equal challenge for her in combat is you, Leon.”
\t“Hehehe... I'll be honest, I was hoping the dice were gonna roll that way, but I am more than happy and satisfied with what I got,” Leon said as he stood next to Falco the whole time.
\t“As am I, good buddy,” Falco said, giving a brofist to the tall reptilian.
\t“But I must say, when it comes down to close matches, it will definitely be between Leo and Panther considering their difference of craft, their restricted power outputs, vehicle sizes and weights, skills, capabilities... everything will depend largely on them,” Leon said smoothly.
\tPeppy then looked out at Leo and Panther's craft on the starting line with each of them sitting inside calmly in preparation for their turn at the race.  Everyone continued to chat and watch the live race footage as Miyu and Wolf continued down the track, their craft now in the long and soft double right-hander before the second tunnel.  Peppy then walked towards Leo's car and knocked on the passenger side window of his Speedwell, rolling his paw in a circle to signal him to roll it down to talk.  Leo did so from the main power window switch on the driver's door panel.  “How are you feeling there, Leo?” Peppy asked softly.
\t“Doing fine,” he said, not entirely able to hide his nervousness and anxiety from the upcoming race.  It was the final duel before the end of the Grand Prix, after all.
\t“Listen, I have some advice concerning your race,” Peppy said.
\t“Like you, I am all ears,” Leo replied with a bit of a grin, making Peppy grin.
\t“Well... we've been watching everyone in the event all day long, and not only have you and Panther run very similar performances during the mile-long brackets, you are both extremely close in this event as well,” Peppy started.  “So this race is going to be pivotal for the win.  Considering many options I have a couple of instructions for you that I think will help.”
\t“Understood,” Leo said softly with a slow nod.
\t“First thing,” Peppy said, reaching in to tilt his rearview mirror up to face the headliner. “Don't bother looking in the rearview.  Miyu is highly likely to come back well ahead of Wolf, which means you'll start off first, leaving Panther to chase.  You KNOW he will be behind you.  No need to stress out in looking back at the obvious.  Just keep your eyes and concentration forward where they need to be.”
\t“Logical,” Leo said.  “And the other...?”
\t“Because you will start off in the lead, you'll want to be your own predator against a predator... so while you are in front of Panther, keep your engine power outputs at a maximum of 80% until Panther passes you,” Peppy said.  “I just know that the feeling of being behind you and the desire to pass you for good is gonna irk Panther to no end, so play on that to your advantage.”
\tLeo couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement.  “Sounds good to me. We ARE tricksters after all.”
\tBut Peppy couldn't match Leo's enthusiasm... “One more thing Leo... and I'm not telling you this to scare you or anything... but that man is a ruthless and evil being.  In his history in Star Wolf, we witnessed him engage in the murder of tens of thousands of innocent civilians and hundreds of craft... all by contract.  He may not have much beyond the purse of this race to receive, which pales in comparison to what he must've been paid during the war... but he is still relentless.  He absolutely HATES losing.  I wouldn't put it past him to try something during the race to get you out of his way... legal or not.”
\tLeo's heart beat faster in a mix of excitement and fright at this news, not totally surprised to hear it, but just hearing it in the affirmative from a senior member of Star Fox only cemented the fact deeper in his mind.  “A-alright, Pep,” Leo said softly.
\t“You'll be fine, son,” Peppy said.  “Just do your best, but be safe and careful at the same time.  We need you back in the end.”
\tLeo simply nodded as Peppy then walked back towards the tent, Leo rolling the passenger side window back up and continued to sit in his car with the engines idling gently.  His head couldn't help but slowly turn over to Panther in his Wolfen Black Rose, the tall dark feline sitting with his eyes closed.  After only a few seconds, he then looked forward down the road, patiently awaiting for Miyu to return from her run...

\t--exit of the second tunnel, 50% of the course remaining--

\tWolf's radar was constantly ringing softly as Miyu kept on his six by less than a dozen feet or so constantly, Miyu starting to weave back and forth from left to right to try and stir up Wolf's nerves.  Wolf chuckled and grinned at her motions as they sped off down the roads towards the next turn, a left-hander before a long sharp right turn into the entrance to the longest and narrowest tunnel.  Miyu kept on with her hijinks of stirring up Wolf's nerves, making it difficult to read what Miyu was intending to do.  The whole situation make Wolf feel like a mouse being toyed with by this feline, but he kept his eyes and mind forward.
\tMiyu smiled as they both entered the tunnel at nearly Mach 1, her stealthy and deadly Interceptor maneuvered inside the compact space of the long narrow tunnel perfectly where Wolf's Redfang was struggling to maintain position in the tunnel without bumping a wingtip into the pavement or the inner concrete linings of the tunnel.  He definitely wasn't used to having such a narrow and limited space to move around in, but he was doing his best to maintain his pace, despite the incredible level of stress it was putting him through.  “Don't crash here, wuffy.  I still got one hot ass to show you,” Miyu thought to herself quietly with a giggle.\t
\tThe situation remained unchanged as they both entered the third and longest tunnel of the course, Miyu clinging close to Wolf's backside the whole way, the strong lynx slowly rotating her craft clockwise before reversing her rotation again, continuing to show off in an effort to get Wolf to crack.  All audiences around the Lylat were getting a good dose of comedy from this as the high-speed drones following them recorded the performance of them both.  
\tBy the time they had both exited the tunnel and headed for the last two turns before the final tunnel, they were still in the same position, Wolf just barely ahead and struggling.  It was then that Miyu sighed softly and began to focus harder on her piloting, preparing for her attack.  “Almost there, wuffy... are you watching closely?” she thought with mischief on her mind, backing off Wolf by about 50 feet.  Once the soft left-hand turn began, Wolf immediately began to slowly verge into the inside line which made Miyu begin to accelerate and verge towards the outside line, making an attempt to pass on the outside.
\tWolf's eyes widened as his attention then suddenly went to Miyu's totally unexpected movement, his reaction quick to veer into her path of travel to block her.  “The hell are you trying to do, little kitten???” he thought to himself as he fought to stabilize his craft in the outside lanes after his quick maneuver, but then his heart sank when his radar displayed that Miyu's craft then began to barrel roll to the left in a counter-clockwise rotation towards the inside line right as she enabled her boosters to zoom right by his craft to take the lead.  “Dammit!”
\tMiyu grinned toothily as she took the lead and began to softly wiggle her craft from left to right a little as if she were wiggling her own ass in his direction.  “Get a good look and start strokin, big boy... cuz that is all your efforts are going to amount to!” Miyu thought with a chuckle.  The road then straightened out for about 4 or 5 miles as they accelerated towards the final turn before the final tunnel, Wolf using a lot of boost while Miyu only used her boost in short bursts to easily maintain the lead.  
\t“What an amazing pass by Lt Lynx there!” Drummond commented on the television program being broadcast.
\t“She is quite speedy and maneuverable, for certain,” Clay said.
\t“As predicted, she was able to make a pass on O'Donnell,” Markinson said.  “All that is left is to see how Lynx completes this course and how much of a lead she will give Capt Cuttridge for the final run of the event!”
\tMiyu continued to wiggle from side to side in front of Wolf all the way to the sharp curve ahead, Miyu maintaining a minor lead in front of Wolf as she fired her air brakes and retro boosters to slow down for the curve, making a sharp right hand turn at slow speed which she handled flawlessly.  Wolf had to brake harder and quicker in order to make the turn, not to mention approach it slightly slower than Miyu in order to stay on the track.  But once she got to the straightaway, she got serious.  “Hope you enjoyed dis ass... cuz now it's GONE!” she thought to herself as she suddenly slammed forward on her throttle to go into full boost, rocketing away from Wolf, her speed increasing rapidly, very quickly surpassing Mach 1 and continued to rise.
\tWolf gasped as he watched Miyu shoot away from him at great speed, his reaction to also go all the way forward on this throttle to try and keep up.  Despite his efforts, his craft continued to slowly fall behind Miyu as she flew further and further away from him, his Redfang no match for Miyu's Interceptor as she entered the final tunnel.  He gritted his teeth and grunted in frustration as he put all his concentration not only to try and keep up with Miyu, but to also refrain from colliding into the walls of the tunnel, which his less maneuverable craft was struggling with greatly at this moment, forcing him to back off the throttle and correct his pitch and angle to the turn in micro movements repeatedly several times a second, his stabilizers working overtime to keep him in the air.  “DAMMIT!”
\tMiyu breathed deep and slow through her mouth as she focused sharply on maintaining her lead, her craft soaring down the road into four-digit speeds and still climbing as she held down on her boost the whole time, every muscle in her body flexing, her body hot as her heart beat rapidly as her sharp predatory feline eyes focused with all her concentration, shooting out of the end of the tunnel at great speed.  She was traveling so fast through the tunnel that the drone following the pair were unable to keep up with them, the sports program showing waiting video feed from the final drone about 100 feet beyond the exit of the final tunnel, the video getting shaky as Miyu passed it at nearly Mach 2, and Wolf's craft passing it at a considerably slower rate of speed.

\t--The start/finish line...--

\t“Okay Leo, Miyu is coming on her way back, and she is a-movin,” Peppy said into the coms.
\t“Roger that Pep, I see her,” Leo said, his eyes focusing down the road at the sight of Miyu's Interceptor.  His foot slowly went down on the accelerator to rev up his engines to higher power output, the gentle whine of the jet engines gently getting louder and louder as he prepared for takeoff.
\t“Make sure you do a count on how many seconds it takes for you to pass by Wolf on his way back,” Peppy quickly added.
\t“Roger that!” Leo added just as fast.
\tMiyu's Interceptor rocketed at max speed down the final few miles of road back to the start/finish line, her speed in excess of Mach 2 as she hovered only 10-15 feet above the ground, her voice shouting out on the coms line as she approached.  “GO LEO, GOOOOO!!!”  Once he saw her craft pass the line, he when down on the accelerator and let off the brake, his Speedwell shooting off the line much faster than it would stock and unmodified.  The G forces put his back into the seat firmly for several seconds as he easily and quickly went into triple digit speeds in very short time as he began to call out the count on the coms line...  “One-thousand-one, one-thousand-two...”  He continued to drive at max acceleration as he kept his eyes on the road to stay on it as well as noticing Wolf's Redfang craft coming back to the finish line... “...one-thousand-five, one-thousand-six, one-thousand-seven—AND A HALF,” he said into the coms.
\t“You've got between a 15- and 16-second lead on Panther, so go as fast as you can with just normal acceleration.  Remember, let him catch up to you with a maximum 80% throttle,” Peppy said.
\t“Understood,” Leo said, his concentration going fully forward as he began to see the first turn, a gentle left-hander where he could keep his speed up.  His eyes continually darted down to his gauges, watching his power outputs on his rear engines to keep them around 80% for as long as he could for now...
\t“Come on O'Donnell, dammit,” Panther seethed quietly to himself, his teeth bared as he throttled forward a bit to power brake behind the line as he waited for Wolf to cross the line, Wolf flying past him a good 15 seconds after Leo's departure.  Panther immediately went into boost in an attempt to catch up to Leo as they both took off in the final run of the race.
\tWolf and Miyu parked their craft beside Leon and Falco's craft by the tent and exited, both of them walking towards each other and shaking hands happily.  “My lady, I am truly thankful we never got into a dogfight... because I would've easily been killed by you,” Wolf said with a satisfied smile.
\tMiyu giggled with a smile to Wolf's words, her gorgeous blue eyes connecting with his one.  “Hehehe  You are still quite a wonderful pilot yourself, Mr Wolf,” Miyu replied with a smile in return.  She then stood by Wolf's side and playfully nudged his hip with hers.  “So what did ya think of dat ass?”  she said with a wink.
\tWolf couldn't help but chuckle with a blush.  “I thought it was quite lovely, ma'am,” he replied, resisting the urge to touching Miyu's ass in any way, knowing she was quite well physically built and skilled to beat his ass if he tried it.  They laughed together as they were welcomed back to the tent, hugs, brofists and handshakes being shared by everyone.  
\tFox smiled and shook Wolf's hand.  “Quite the challenge, wasn't she sir?” he asked Wolf.
\t“That is to put it very mildly,” Wolf said with pride and glee.  “She is definitely the fastest here with possible challenge from Leon here.”
\t“That's exactly what I was thinking!” Fay said happily.
\tFara then approached Wolf and gave him a hug, a sensation Wolf hadn't felt in many years and truly did not expect to experience ever again due to his past traitorous actions.  “You did great out there, mate,” Fara said softly.
\t“Thank you so much, Fara,” Wolf said, his eye watering a bit.  He then looked to Fox and held his and Fara's hand softly together.  “You both WILL let me know when the wedding date is gonna be, won't you?”
\tFox and Fara smiled in surprise, then looked at each other and nodded.  “You got it, Wolf.  Thank you so much,” Fox replied happily.  
\tWolf smiled and nodded, then brought them both together in a hug, holding them close while fighting back tears.  “You're both gonna get along just fine.”
\tMiyu went right for Krystal and gave her a hug and jumped up and down happily with her as they both giggled happily.  “Eeee... congrats, sexy lynxy,” Krystal said with a smile, giving Miyu a kiss on the lips.
\t“Why, thank you, my lovely vixy,” Miyu replied, their tails wagging happily behind them as they stood together.  “Let's go watch our bunny now, shall we?”
\t“Yes, let's,” Miyu said happily, taking a sports drink from Krystal as they stood around ROB as he broadcast the event from one of his built-in projectors onto the canvas wall of the tent.  One screen off to the left showed the TV broadcast while another screen off to the right showed Leo and Panther's vital statistics and vehicle stats and information.  
\t“And so as the drumrolls begin, the crowd are at their feet all across Lylat in earnest anticipation in this last event, the final race of the Grand Prix, Captain Leo Cuttridge battling against Panther Caruso for all the glory and the recognition.  And the prize money, of course,” Markinson said on the TV.
\t“That was rubbish commentary, mate, but you are right,” Drummond replied with a chuckle.
\t“Yeah, it did sound very Parkinsonian,” Clay added, referencing a recently deceased news commentator known for many years for his expertise in interviewing.
\t“Whatever, whatever, the fact remains, it all boils down to this,” Markinson added quickly while trying his best to stifle a laugh.  “Both drivers are similar in speed, dexterity, and very close together in skill, it will be a literal right-down-the-middle race where a coin flip would be just as likely an outcome.  Who will come out victorious?  The next 15 minutes or so will give us all the answer!”
