Chapter 47 [Fate]
------------

Rick now knows that he is to be the savior of the galaxy, and so begins special training. Then, a special invitation comes from the F-Zero Committee. It's a match race with Black Shadow. Rick knows it will be difficult, but he agrees. Jack, Jody, and the other Galaxy Mobile Platoon members vow to back Rick up as they send him to the starting line.

Black Shadow's strong attacks push the Dragon Bird off the course and out of the race. Helpless, he is kidnapped and taken to the F-Zero Committee's planet. Waiting for him there are Black Shadow, Don Genie, and the Committee Representative, Deathborn. The F-Zero Committee had been taken over by Dark Million.

Black Shadow and his minions attempt to erase Rick's memory and use the Reactor Might to make him one of them. However, Rick hears his friends calling out to him from deep within. Realizing he's not fighting alone, he resists the brainwashing technique. But Black Shadow still refuses to let him go. Suddenly, Berserker appears.

As it turns out, Berserker was Captain Falcon after all! He had infiltrated the F-Zero Committee to figure out what had been going on. Together, Rick and Captain Falcon are able to escape.
