FINALE: Enter the Creators

With the Ultimate Champion's Belt
in hand, Falcon can relax. But...

It was several days after the F-ZERO Grand Prix. Falcon was gearing up to go after another bounty. He turned toward the Ultimate Champion's Belt, which was hanging in a display cushion on the wall. As he turned away, he heard something-a voice-in the belt say his name and laugh. He heard another voice repeat it a few seconds later. The air was starting to shimmer in streaks all around Falcon. Then...

"Look, I'm over here, Falcon!" Then that voice laughed. He turned toward the belt. There was a light inside the jewel. It was laughing.

"Who are you?" asked Falcon, bewildered.

The first voice said, "We are the Creator..."

"What are you talking about?"

"We created the whole world," said the second voice.

"What a surprise that you'd beat Deathborn, who was our best creation," said the third voice.

"Your best creation?" said Falcon. He was still confused. But as the Creator laughed again, the answer hit him harder than the Black Bull going full speed.

"So it was you who set up everything...But why?"

The first voice replied, "To tell you the truth, there are no universal forces."

"What?" said Falcon. His hands were clenched into fists at this point.

The second voice said, "Now you hve become the Champion of the two Grand Prix..."

"...and we'll take out your soul from your body and turn it into our creation," finished the third voice.

As Falcon leaned in, three spirits burst forth from the belt. The spirit who had spoken last said,

"Are you ready?" The spirits started circling each other. Then they turned sharply inward, and where they came together, there was a technicolor spirit replica of the Blue Falcon in their place.

"Come off it!" exclaimed Falcon. "You think you can beat me? No way!" He jumped in the Falcon, and they were off. More than once, Falcon came close to falling off the track because it blended in so well with its surroundings, and there were no guardrails or laser walls. However, he got to know the track and eventually started catching up to the Staff Ghost. He passed it near the end of the race and pulled out the victory by a hair.

The Staff Ghost split back into the Creator Spirits, who phased completely out of existence, screaming, "NOOOOOO!" Falcon reemerged in his base, jumped out of the Falcon, took off his helmet, and placed it on a sidetable next to the Falcon. He then walked out of the base, reliving all that had happened in the past couple of weeks in his head. This would make an incredible story, and for whatever reason, he couldn't wait to share it with all his allies.

The End. Hope you enjoyed it!
