All this time I’ve been right by your side.

Do you really not see how I feel?

How could you do this, Way?

And if I didn’t, do you have a better plan?

Do you know any way to make Tony back off?

Make him stop bothering me or stop messing with the whole team?

I love you, Babe.

Way

Another nightmare, Babe?

Let it go.

Try to sleep, okay?

It’s all right.

I’m right here now.

I’ll protect you.

You don’t have to be afraid of anything.

Someone like me’s got nothing to fear.

You’re being ridiculous.

If that’s the case…

Should I help you dream sweet again?

Again, Papa? Really?

We have to wake up early tomorrow.

Go to sleep now.

You’re asking the wrong person, Mama.

Mama…

can go all night.

That’s the spirit, Mama.

Papa loves Mama.

Mama loves Papa too.

Welcome to all racing teams…

to the new format of The Hallow.

Please bring your cars to the starting line.

This is the long-awaited season opener.

You'll be facing the king of the track, No. 1 in stats.

The undefeated, reigning champion.

It’s Pitbabe.

And that’s not all…Team X-Hunter

secures their title shot with a second pro racer.

One so iconic you won’t forget them.

The prince of The Hallows…Charlie!!

You’ve got a lot of fans these days.

But I’m still your only real fan.

Obviously, you’re hot.

But if we weren’t on the same team…

I might’ve been No. 1 by now.

You guys seriously picking a fight from round one?

Save it for the next matches, will you?

There’s no stopping Kim.

He’s waited all year for this.

Jeff, can you check my car for me?

Hey, Kim!

Only “I” get to boss my boyfriend around.

Jeff, check it for him.

Sure thing.

TICK KA TICK KA TICK KA TOCK

TICK KA TICK KA TICK KA TOCK

What’s wrong, Charlie?

I think I heard something weird.

A sound?

You okay?

-Yeah. -I think it’s nothing.

Go get ready.

Hurry up.

-Okay. -That’s good then.

-You good? -I’m good.

TICK KA TICK KA TICK KA TOCK

TICK KA TICK KA TICK KA TOCK

This season, The Hallow is hotter than ever!

Because we’ve taken it outdoors with a whole new format.

Introducing… The Hallow Super GT Street Thunder!

Here’s the deal all racers will start from this point…

and race through the track

and the streets we’ve laid out specially for the event.

Then return to finish right back here at the start line.

There will be 5 laps total.

Whoever clocks the fastest time…wins it all!

And today, we have 10 racers in the lineup.

The racing is about to start in a sec.

And they’re off!

The race is divided into two sections.

Zone A is the open track.

And that fast pass is from a member of Team ETA.

Oh! The car just spun out!

This is just a start!

One car has spun out!

Yep, one spin right there!

Team X-Hunter is still holding it together.

Ever heard of the king of The Hallow? I mean, really?

Drivers now head into Zone B…

a narrow, dangerous section lined with containers.

It takes both caution and experience to navigate.

Team X-Hunter is still in the lead,

with Pitbabe, Charlie, and Kim in front.

Who's gonna take the win in the first race?

But now Team ETA is climbing up from the back!

We’re back to Zone A again.

Team X-Hunter is still showing great coordination.

The leader is still Pitbabe, with Charlie and Kim following close behind.

Kim is overtaking Chalee for second place—this race is getting intense!

Here comes ETA’s rising star, trying to make a move!

Whoa!

Turns out Team ETA has some serious talent too.

Let's see if he can make the pass!

That kind of skill is no joke.

Team ETA is catching up fast!

What a smooth turn from Charlie

ETA is on the rise—up from sixth to fifth already!

ETA has moved up to 4th place.

Right behind Kim from X-Hunter.

It’s a rookie racing in the big league now!

The front runners are staying close, but ETA is determined to make their move!

But Kim doesn’t seem to realize yet—he’s pushing hard to get past Charlie!

Kim, block him…don’t let him pass!

Or our team’s going to lose our spot.

But I can overtake right now, bro.

Yeah, I know…but can you think about the team first?

Hold on—what’s happening here? Kim’s slowing down!

It’s Charlie chance now!

ETA’s closing in on Kim.

But Kim’s still blocking the line well.

He’s not letting the title of South Korean champion slip away!

ETA’s not giving up! He’s fighting to climb into 3rd place!

Look at ETA go! This rookie is really proving himself!

And Kim finally loses his position!

ETA moves into 3rd place.

But Charlie’s still holding his own.

This is intense!

Over in Zone B, ETA is still making a run for the leader!

ETA is right on Charlie’s tail.

But Charlie’s still holding him off.

ETA’s right on Charlie now—this is a neck-and-neck battle!

TICK KA TICK KA TICK KA TOCK

ETA pulls ahead of Charlie from X-Hunter, claiming 2nd place!

We’ve now entered the final lap of the track.

Team ETA and Pitbabe are still neck and neck.

It’s the final straightaway!

-ETA’s pushing in… -Don’t hold back!

Against the legendary champ of The Hallow…Pitbabe!

Is this the moment the game turns?!

- It’s a tight race! - Babe!

Pitbabe’s pushing ahead, but ETA is still right there!

Wait a minute—what a twist!

And the first race of the season…

is shockingly won by Team ETA!

Pitbabe from X-Hunter

takes 2nd place for the first time in years.

Followed by Charlie and Kim of Team X-Hunter.

Can we get a quick interview?

First race of the season and you dethroned the reigning champ…

how do you feel?

How do you feel? Tell us!

How do I feel?

I feel nothing.

Because I already knew I’d win.

Whoa, that’s a lot of confidence.

You beat *the* king of the track…Pitbabe.

So are you aiming to take the whole championship?

Of course I am.

I’m probably the only one

who can take down Pitbabe.

How does it feel to lose for the first time in years?

-How do you feel? -Please give us an answer.

If it were me, I wouldn’t ask that question.

This is just the first race of the season.

One result doesn’t define the bigger picture.

Babe won’t be giving any interviews.

-Oh? -Not even a short one?

-Just a little? -Can we take a photo?

-Just a quick one? -Can we get a picture?

-A photo, please? -Just one photo?

I’m Willy.

Nice to meet you, Babe.

I never wanted to know you.

-Whoa, why though? -Yeah, why?

Let me make it clear…

this’ll be the last time you ever get a photo with me.

You sure about that?

I’m the king of the track now.

You might wanna take racing seriously.

You’re so in love, you’ve gone rusty and don’t even know it.

You’ve got a nasty mouth, you know that?

-Whoa, no fighting. -Let’s not start anything, okay?

I said that because I care.

I’m actually a fan.

So what, you think being younger lets you talk trash?

-North, come on. -Please don’t fight.

-Let’s not cause a scene. -Calm down.

-Can we take a picture? -One photo, please.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

But I don’t think Babe needs it.

Celebrate, but don’t overdo it.

If you lose next time,

it’ll be embarrassing.

-Savage! -That’s kinda harsh.

-Hold up! -Let’s get a photo first.

-Just one picture! -Wait a second.

-Can we take one photo? -Hey, he said no pictures.

-Just one photo, please! -Just one shot!

-Look at this camera! -Over here!

Babe.

Babe, hey.

Babe.

Go home for now, alright?

Where are you going?

I just wanna be alone, Charlie.

It’s okay, man.

It’s just the first race.

I think Babe just lost a bit of rhythm.

Babe’s trained a million times.

He didn’t just lose rhythm.

But that kid Willy…

his skills are scary.

Who knows, the title might change hands this year.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

You think it has anything to do with Babe losing his senses?

Kid…

you’ve seen Babe race against Charlie, haven’t you?

He blew past everyone on the team.

That’s called experience.

Not some lost “sense.”

Damn.

Then Willy must be seriously gifted, huh?

He’s still so young too.

Yeah… that’s true.

He kinda reminds me of Babe as a kid.

But that kid Willy’s a real little shit though.

We’ll figure out how to turn this around, Uncle.

This year’s title still belongs to Team X-Hunter.

Yeah. Come on, let’s head home.

But hey…

Can I get a consolation prize?

Come on.

You're seriously too cute.

Hey, kid.

-Hey, kid. -Yes, sir?

You okay?

I’m fine. Let’s head home.

Let’s go.

This is our new research specialist.

February 23rd, 2025.

Time: 16:34

Experiment log: Skill-dissolving drug.

Skill-dissolving compound No. 116.

Volunteer No. 108.

Trial No. 1.

Initiating experiment.

Mr. Pete.

You should’ve let me join this round too.

You just took part in the last round.

And right now we’re in the middle of a new season.

I don’t want it to affect your body.

The last dose of skill-dissolving serum didn’t work.

Babe’s sense is still fully intact in me.

Guess my cells are just too tough.

I hope this time it actually works.

Alpha’s special sense is still present.

The serum isn’t reacting with the cells.

Alpha isn’t doing well.

Get the meds, quick!

What’s happening to Pete?

This is a reaction from a body rejecting the skill-dissolving serum.

We need to give him the antidote.

Get the doctor, now!

Looks like we’ll have to redo the entire experiment.

I thought the experiment would go better…

if we had one more skilled researcher.

Especially someone familiar with Alpha genetics.

Who could be better than you, Touch?

Pete hired you, Touch,

because you’re the sharpest mind in the country.

Right now in our country,

no one’s allowed to research openly like they do abroad.

So we’ve had to do everything ourselves.

Someone recommended a researcher from the U.S.

Specialized in Alpha genetic traits.

If we can get him on board,

I think we’ll have a real shot.

If he can help us create the skill-dissolving serum…

no matter the cost, I’ll pay it.

You’re up against the king of the track…Pitbabe!

Are you actually aiming for the championship?

I *am* taking the championship.

I’m probably the only one

who can take down Pitbabe.

What the hell, Charlie?

I came to pick you up, Master Babe.

Master Babe.

Okay.

You really went all out, huh?

Please, take a seat, Master.

Right here, please.

You set up these flowers?

Sure did.

Specially prepared just to welcome you.

You like it?

They’re pretty nice.

Did you get into another fight again?

It’s nothing, really.

Does it hurt?

You’ll ruin that pretty face of yours.

Still better than some nerd who lives in a lab.

So when’s the skill-dissolving serum gonna be done?

And did you go in for testing today?

No, I didn’t.

Pete won’t let me test anymore.

He said right now…

we’re getting close to race season.

He’s worried my body won’t be able to handle it.

But the lab results…

I still don’t really understand them.

I lost the race, Charlie.

Guess it’s my turn to be sad today.

Well then…

should Papa help cheer Mama up?

Go ahead and try.

Feeling any better?

A little bit, yeah.

But seriously, don’t you know any other tricks to cheer me up?

You always use the same one.

That’s 'cause I know…

you only ever like

this one thing.

(Jeff)

Kid, what are you doing out here so late?

Why aren’t you in bed?

I waited so long I nearly fell asleep out here.

I just haven’t finished my work yet.

Well, if you’re sleepy, go ahead and sleep first.

No way.

I can’t fall asleep without you.

Come on, let’s go to bed.

Wait a sec.

Why?

Nothing. It’s nothing.

Oh, come on.

You pulled your hand away from me just now.

You don’t want me to touch you or something?

Or is it…

Your ability to see the future… has it come back?

I already told you.

I’ve been able to control my powers for a while now.

Right…

-That makes sense. -Otherwise how could I cuddle you every night?

-Go to bed. -Mmhmm, I’ll be right there.

Why not now?

I still have to go over some reports with the mechanics team.

You can just do it tomorrow.

You’re dating the owner of the garage.

No one’s gonna chase you.

Come on, let’s go.

But we work as a team.

I don’t want the others waiting on me.

Besides…

tomorrow’s Way’s death anniversary, isn’t it?

I should finish this tonight.

You go get some rest.

I’ll head up as soon as I’m done.

-Promise? -Mhm.

Still as stubborn as ever, huh?

Hurry up and come.

Okay.

Don’t take too long.

I won’t.

Stop the car here.

You can take the hoods off now.

Who are you?

How did you get us out of there?

I’ve arranged for this place to be under Mr. Pete’s control.

Everything has been kept exactly as he requested.

Thank you.

(If you ever need a drinking buddy, you can always come to me.)

(If you ever need a drinking buddy, you can always come to me.)

Put some effort into it, North.

What? Seriously, Uncle?

Your boyfriend’s the one slacking here.

Wow, did you just diss my boyfriend?

Double standards, huh?

Just a little more.

Okay, got it.

-Alan! -Hey hey!

I missed you.

How’ve you been? You doing okay?

I’m doing good.

This new garage…

it's actually pretty nice.

How’ve you been?

You’re totally giving off “owner’s boyfriend” vibes.

It’s glowing off you.

And what about Sonic?

He went to France to study fashion design.

But now that he’s back…

he’s dressing way more low-key.

Didn’t know you could tease like that.

Hey, man.

Didn’t think you’d actually come back.

You’ve been off the radar a while.

Yeah, it was my first year… I needed time to adjust.

But hey, I’m back now, aren’t I?

So…

How long are you staying?

North.

Go inside and get the stuff ready.

Sonic.

Go help him out in there, will you?

Once everyone arrives, we can get started right away.

Got it, Uncle.

Let’s go.

Yeah, let’s.

You go first.

What are we prepping anyway?

You playing matchmaker now or what?

What needs to be set up?

They’ve been circling each other for years.

Figured I’d lend a hand.

But honestly…

I don’t think it’s gonna work.

Uncle, is it over here?

Bring it up a little more.

-Right here? -Yeah yeah, that’s it.

Okay, now slide it a bit to the right.

-OK. -This way now.

Alan.

-Alan. -Oh, Kim.

I’ve got something I need to talk to you about.

What’s up?

I want to resign from Team X-Hunter.

Wait, what? Why would you leave?

If there’s something bothering you, just tell me.

You’ve already gotten close to everyone here.

If I stay with X-Hunter…

I’ll never be number one.

Don’t forget…

right now…

there’s a rookie who already beat Babe.

I have to follow my goal…

to become number one myself.

It’s not that I don’t believe in you, Kim.

But here, we work as a team.

Exactly, Alan.

And the number one in X-Hunter…

will always be Babe.

You don’t have to feel bad about it.

I understand everything, Alan.

We’re only rivals on the track.

Off the track, nothing’s changed between us.

I’m sorry, man.

Sorry I couldn’t support you more.

I’m not mad at you.

But if I beat Babe…

and that new kid, Willy…

if I can pull that off…

please don’t be mad at me either.

Yeah.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Uncle.

What’s wrong? You look stressed.

Yeah.

Kim just asked to leave the team.

I kinda figured he’d come talk about this sooner or later.

You okay?

There can only be one

number one on the track.

A captain like me can’t really stop that.

Still hurts though.

Sooner or later,

everyone’s gonna grow and go their own way.

Come on now.

No matter where they go,

I’m still here with you, aren’t I, Uncle?

Yeah.

Jeez, Way.

You’ve been gone for a year now.

Couldn’t you visit me in a dream with some lucky numbers or something?

North!

Is now really the time for jokes?

Of course it is.

Look at everyone standing around all gloomy.

Someone’s gotta break the silence, right?

Don’t be too hard on North, Sonic.

He’s actually right.

Even if we all stand here being sad in front of Way…

it won’t change anything.

It really won’t help at all.

We have to learn to face the truth.

See?

Uncle Alan’s the only one who gets me.

You just won’t stop, huh?

Babe.

Don’t look like that, man.

Way won’t rest easy seeing you like this.

He’s the one who loved you the most.

He’d want you to be happy.

Not standing here like that.

You were the best friend I ever had, Way.

I loved you so much.

Don’t worry, bro.

I’ll take care of Babe for you, always.

I love you too.

What do you wanna eat?

I want…

Charlie.

There’s something I need to talk to you about.

Does it have to be now?

Can it wait until another day?

Today I just wanna spend time with Babe.

It’ll just be a moment.

Alright.

Could you wait for me at the car?

Don’t take too long.

Got it.

So what is it?

Just tell me what’s going on.

Right now…

my future-vision sense came back.

And I can’t control it anymore.

What do you mean “came back”?

Like before?

Or does it only happen sometimes?

No, it’s not like that.

It feels like my power’s evolved.

Now the visions I see…

they last longer than before.

Sometimes I get nosebleeds.

It’s starting to take a toll on my body.

Like my body’s warning me about something.

Mr. Pete’s already brought in researchers from abroad.

The skill-dissolving serum is getting closer to reality.

But it’s not just about the drug.

Because the visions I see…

I don’t even know

if they’re really the future.

Or what they really are.

What did you see?

I saw Way.

Then let me show you today…

what we’re actually doing in my lab.

I really don’t like this.

This place reminds me of my childhood… back at the Chen estate.

Charlie, can you promise me something?

Promise you’re not experimenting on people or doing anything weird to them.

Everyone here volunteered, I swear.

Because the goal of the Skill-Dissolving Serum Project…

is to let every special Alpha…

choose their own path in life.

-Without having to be… -Okay, stop.

No need to lecture me. I get it now.

But the fact that you’ve built a lab this intense…

there won’t be any zombies breaking out, right?

Zombies? Seriously?

No zombies here.

Oh…

Mr. Pete.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

I was just giving him a tour around the lab.

You’re okay with that, right?

Actually, I should be thanking you.

For letting Charlie join the experiment.

You don’t need to thank me.

It’s not like I agreed willingly.

I just couldn’t stop him.

Liu.

We’ve got a special Alpha scheduled for today’s new trial, right?

Yes, sir.

Are you here alone?

Where’s Touch?

Uh, Touch went to pick up the new researcher.

He’s arriving today?

The researcher from the U.S. already accepted?

That’s right.

He wants to get started as soon as possible.

Oh…there he is.

Way?!

That’s impossible…

Way…

Wait, hold on.

I mean…

I think you’ve got the wrong person.

What do you mean?

It’s just…

We’ve never met before.

Who… who are you?

Mr. Pete, this is Mr. Chris.

He’s our new researcher.

Researcher?

Yes, sir.

He specializes in cellular development studies.

He’s from one of the top labs in the U.S.

But I knew Way very well.

He didn’t have any siblings, for sure.

I think you’re all just wasting time analyzing this.

Me and the person you’re talking about…

we’ve never met.

We have nothing to do with each other.

You’re serious, aren’t you?

You really don’t know Way?

Mr. Pete.

Why don’t you test him?

You’ve got thought-sensing powers, right?

Go on, prove it.

He’s telling the truth.

He only knows who Way is.

But they’ve never met.

He’s never known the real person.

So you believe me now, right?

I came here for work.

You’re the ones who invited me.

Didn’t you say you wanted to develop the skill-dissolving serum?

Right now, I think I might be the only one…

who can actually help you with this.

You must be Mr. Pete, the one who runs this lab?

It’s a pleasure to work with you.

I’m sorry…

but I don’t think we can work together.

Touch.

Please find someone else to replace him.

Mr. Pete…

Wait, Mr. Pete…

Mr. Pete, please…

Let’s go.

Shit.

Damn it.

That new researcher at Pete’s lab… he looks just like Way.

Yeah, Uncle, but when Kim quit…

he took his personal mechanic with him.

So who are we gonna get to replace him?

Come on in already.

Let me explain myself.

I joined your lab as a researcher.

Just wait and see… the person I planted in there

is going to bring X-Hunter to its knees.

You really think Willy is that good?

Well, he’s better than you.

I’m a big fan of yours.

Why do I smell Alpha on you?

-You have to kiss before the magic works, right? -Yep.

Once you kiss, it slowly flows down.

Wanna try?

(Babe’s totally mine.)

(I mean, I am kinda sexy.)

If I spank him… (feels pretty good!)

-Everyone’s just… -They were totally admiring me, right?

So, how was it? You good?

Okay, nope. I’m not.

(I give up everything.)

Let me return the favor.

-Where’s the umbrella? -Here it is.

-Didn’t hit me. -Nah, that hit.

-Yep, it hit. -Totally hit.

-The umbrella hit you? -No, the sun did.
