Chapter 30 [Only One Falcon]
------------

Someone calling himself "Blood Falcon" sends a challenge to Captain Falcon. In this challenge, Blood Falcon brazenly invites himself to the next race with Captain Falcon. Hearing about this while training for the next race, Rick decides he doesn't trust Blood Falcon. 

Dr. Stewart figures out who Blood Falcon really is: a clone of Captain Falcon. He considers destroying the clone using special drugs, but concludes that would invite enemy revenge.

Later, the race begins! Rick and Captain Falcon both need to use Spin Boost techniques just to keep up with Blood Falcon's blistering pace. As a clone, however, Blood Falcon is able to mimic their moves perfectly. Just as it looks like Blood Falcon will pull away to victory, his machine is no longer able to withstand the repeated Spin Boosts, and he crashes. Rick and Captain Falcon come away with the win.

Onlookers stare in shock as Blood Falcon, in defeat, chooses to die in the flames. However, Dr. Stewart has a realization. 

"He's a clone. If the enemy still has the original DNA that developed him..."

The battle with Blood Falcon may have only just begun.
