Chapter 34 [Tek and Gazelle]
------------

Mighty Gazelle appears during a race, still driving his machine after it has caught fire and ramming every racer on his way to the lead. He is putting everyone in the race in danger, but with the help of Captain Falcon, the racers are able to shove his machine off the course. The machine explodes, but Mighty Gazelle survives the crash, albeit with his memories erased. This makes him act like he's a child again. Jody, who's also in charge of Tek, is assigned the duty of educating him.

Tek still has no idea that Mighty Gazelle was his father, but the two of them get along very well. Later, Tek overhears a conversation with Rick and finally learns the truth. He's shocked!

Meanwhile, Luna Ryder is plotting to crush the Galaxy Mobile Platoon. She plans to put everything she has into defeating Rick in the next race. During the race, however, Zoda's spaceship appears overhead, interfering with her plans. 

He tries to attack Rick and the others from the safety of his ship, using a bomb. They attempt to escape to a nearby bomb shelter, but Tek and Mighty Gazelle are unable to make it inside in time. The bomb explodes, rocking the area. When the smoke clears, they realize that Mighty Gazelle had used his body to shield Tek and protect him from the blast, sacrificing himself.
