Chapter 32 [Screams from the Darkness]
------------

On an ordinary night like any other, suddenly, Rick wakes up shaking with a paralyzing shapeless fear he can't explain.

Rick and Captain Falcon take part in a race that starts the next day. After the race begins, Rick notices the other machines start to oddly shimmer. The other machines then reveal themselves to be imposter Blood Hawks, driven by clone Blood Falcons. During the chaos this causes, Black Shadow appears using his "Black Fire" technique, creating a portal of darkness. Rick, Captain Falcon, and the other machines are all sucked inside, finding themselves in a void of darkness.

Zoda, who had been imprisoned by Black Shadow, was waiting within this darkness. He takes out the imposter Blood Falcons to increase his power. Then, the Reactor Might in Zoda's chest begins to emit a light, and both Zoda and his machine transform into something much more evil and violent than before.

Rick and Captain Falcon find themselves trapped in this darkness. In order to escape, they must work together with this new Zoda, using the combined power of their Reactor Might to perform a "Triple Boost Fire".

They manage to escape! But this also had brought more power to Zoda and allowed him to return...
