## Episode summary

After a brief recap of the events of The Mild Side, Part 1, the episode begins where the previous one left off, at the beginning of the race in the Lion Speedway. Fury gains a significant lead over the other racers, and proceeds to start ramming them while he laps them. After giving Leeko a close call, Fury moves up and pressures Mayor Bay to accidentally ram into Chief Gordy's car, forcing the chief to crash and retire from the race. As they watch, Milly and Manny are called to buy Miss Yuubin, who shows them Felix's lost handkerchief. Proving their suspicions, Milly, Manny, and Yuubin leave the stadium and head toward Castle Leonardo to find and rescue Felix. Along the way, Moonlight Man joins them and suggests they check the castle dungeon first. Meanwhile, back at the race, Fury goes after Bubbles next. He uses a spiky apparatus in his front wheel to give Bubbles' car a flat tire, forcing it to spin uncontrollably and hit the wall, sending Bubbles flying into the rafters and out of the race. As this happens, Milly, Manny, and Moonlight Man manage to find and free Felix from his cell and urge him to return to the race, but Felix seems hesitant to go up against Fury.

Back at the race, Fury uses his spikes to take out Mayor Bay's car, leaving only Madeline and Leeko to oppose him. In the dungeon, Felix then relays his story about how he and Fury tried to challenge the legendary biker Rave Girl to a race, and how Fury tried to play dirty with her and failed. When Rave Girl told Felix off for using his bike for bad purposes, Felix swore he would never ride again. He remains adamant about riding the bike again, but Miss Yuubin comes in and berates him for his cowardice, which proves effective. Despite Felix's reservation about the race having already started, he is then convinced to return to the race. Once they get back, they see there's only a few racers left and begin to lose hope, when Twilight Man and Aurora Man rush in to show the group that Fury is not using native gasoline, suggesting he was sent from another world to deal with Leeko. Shortly thereafter, Fury intimidates Madeline and forces her to pull into the entryway where the others were watching. This gives Felix the opportunity to hop on his bike and enter the race. He shortly lines up with Fury and begins to spar with him, while Leeko is forced to recover from another hit and Mayor Bay is finally evacuated from his car.

As the others watch, Milly grows concerned for Felix's safety, but Miss Yuubin assures her that Felix is the better biker of the two before walking away mysteriously. Meanwhile, Fury uses an opportunity to nearly throw Felix off his bike by having him run into the wreck of Mayor Bay's car, but Felix manages to stabilize himself. Fury then moves in and takes another hit at Felix, lassoing him in with his chain and forcing a close encounter. At that moment, the legendary biker Rave Girl appears on the track and moves in. Rave Girl breaks the hold on Felix using his wheel, then counters Fury's attempt to retaliate by grabbing his chain and throwing it at her wheel, forcing Fury to crash his bike. Rave Girl then makes her exit by using Mayor Bay's car wreck as a ramp and launching out of the stadium before Felix can say anything. The fight is not over yet, however, Fury steps out of his wrecked bike and transforms into the monster Speedie to continue the race. Speedie proceeds to head straight for Leeko, and Leeko retaliates by vacuum-mouthing a nearby wheel from Bubbles' wreck to get the Speed Copy Ability.

As Speed Leeko sparks with Speedie, King Leonardo and Tommy move in to make things more difficult by greasing up the raceway with an oil slick. This only ends up giving Speedie trouble, as he is thrown out of the stadium and flattens Chef Peppermint in the process. King Leonardo tries another trap, this time throwing a bunch of caltrops into the raceway. Once again, Speed Leeko skillfully avoids these, but Speedie ends up catching several and spins out. This allows Speed Leeko and Felix to finish the race first, and the Lion Speedway subsequently collapses due to the damage done by Speedie during his crash. As Milly, Manny, and Leeko escape the stadium, they spot Rave Girl who is emerging from her wrecked bike, which she had crashed into a tree. They then realize that Rave Girl was Miss Yuubin the entire time, and Miss Yuubin tells them to keep her alter ego a secret. Later on, Felix reminisces about the race with Yuubin and the kids. The episode ends as he comments on how Rave Girl looked strangely familiar to him.

## Trivia

* This is the second and final episode of the *Leeko: The Beginning* trilogy to feature the Speed Copy Ability.
* Milly provides the episode recap in this episode, despite the use of an external narrator in Part 1.
* It is unclear how King Leonardo and Tommy knew about Fury’s monster form. It is heavily implied either Fury told them off-screen, or Gene told them in either Part 1 or in this episode.
* Felix’s initial hesitance to break his vow and hop on his bike contradicts the events of the previous episode, where he had already gotten on his bike to chase after Fury and his gang.
