Chapter 42 [Don Genie's Fortress]
------------

There is a new pilot who's recently joined the F-Zero races: Berserker. Driving his machine Red Bull, he's been able to win with ease. Watching him race, Tek notices his driving style is just like Captain Falcon's. When Rick disagrees and wonders why Tek would care so much, Tek breaks down and tells him everything.

Rick is flabbergasted learning that the bar owner Burt is actually Captain Falcon, and that Burt Lemming is actually Jody's brother Andy Summer. Coming in on the conversation, Jody ends up learning the truth as well.

In the very next race, Berserker appears in the employ of Don Genie, the cold-hearted weapons dealer. Tek wants to investigate Berserker to prove that he is indeed Captain Falcon, but Rick stops him. Captain Falcon had fallen into the void, from which there was no return. 

Tek refuses to listen and chases after Berserker. Don Genie catches him, and Berserker, who Tek insists is Falcon, doesn't come to his rescue. So, Rick and his friends are forced into a death race at Don Genie's base in order to save him. And the death race is won by none other than Berserker.

Fortunately, Samurai Goroh comes to the rescue and saves Tek. While they all escape Don Genie's base safe and sound, Berserker's true identity is still a mystery.
