The party said goodbye to Woodford Refitting Factory. "I'll wait till you win!" Woodford waved.

"I will!" Rebecca replied excitedly.

So the party went back to the street where they had just been. The snow had long since stopped, and the rays of the two mother stars were pouring a steady stream of heat to melt the thick snow. The weather became a little colder, but the enthusiasm of people remained.

Following the computer's instructions, they continued walking and covered about two kilometers. Then the street became a little narrower, and the buildings on the side began to be sparse. On the contrary, there were more and more tall trees. Their branches and leaves were covered with snow, but they were not afraid of the weight and stood as tall as they could.

"Is it winter here now?" Ranran asked.

"I searched information and saw that the planet's axis of rotation was not tilted." William said, "The snow was just caused by a cold snap. You see, the temperature is rising again."

Check point 13 is cleared. Energy charge: 3%.

"We are heading for the suburbs." Photon said to his master as he looked at the computer, "The busy street is actually quite far from the town center."

The two mother stars had already climbed very high. It was a little higher up here, yet due to more heat could reach here, there was almost no snow here.

"Look, a surprise is coming." William watched a flickering bright spot on the computer screen come closer and closer.

"Surprise? What could it be?" Ranran asked.

"No one knows." William replied.

In this way, they admired the green grass and colorful flowers all the way around them until they reached the bright spot.

As they drew nearer, they could hear someone speaking.

"... There is no doubt about my strength and I will be the champion of this endurance race! ...

"Rookie? Hum! They didn't even ask about how many tryouts I'd won!

"Who can beat me? Only I myself!"

"Who is this," Ranran asked indignantly, "this arrogant!"

"I think I know who it is," Rebecca said to the others, "and I'm sure I won't be wrong this time. Let's go and see."

So they continued to approach the voice. When they were close enough, Rebecca saw the owner of the voice. She said to the others, "Well, I knew it wouldn't go wrong this time."

The party's astonished eyes were fixed on a plane. His body was painted blue-black, with several black stripes around the edges. The wing tips were also painted with black flame symbols. He also had the same co-axial counter rotating propeller as Rebecca, which was also four-bladed, with two blades per group. He used the same powertrain that Rebecca and Photon used before their refits -- a piston engine that ran on blue-green algae diesel in tanks. In addition, he had a 300 horsepower electric motor, which could also drive the propeller.

Now he had noticed the party, too. He looked at them with disdain, then fixed his gaze on the red plane.

"Oh dear, isn't this my old friend?" He laughed, "What's the matter? After two years of depression, you got over it? You come out to fight for the last place?"

"You be polite!" Snarled William.

"It's none of your business here, get away!" The plane replied just as sulkily. William was furious and raised his laser gun to fire at him. Ranran and Photon stopped him.

"If he is so arrogant, then he must be very powerful. We shall have more information before we make any more judgments." Photon said. William put the gun down.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?" William asked the plane.

"What? You haven't even heard of me? How can you be a resident of this planet!" The plane proudly replied, "Well, let me introduce me to you. This red plane knows me. I'm Jackson, from the same town as her. I'm also here to race in the endurance race, so I've just been training here. Now that training is over, I'm resting.

"By the way, when we didn't take part in main draws before, Rebecca and I both went to tryouts. We've won almost as many championships. I remember clearly that we two always had the first two places on the podium."

When William heard this, he thought, "Sure enough. This must be a tough opponent."

"Well, I have introduced myself. It's your turn now." Jackson said.

William briefly introduced the party, but did not tell Jackson that they were from another universe. Instead, he just said they were aliens.

"Wow, that's amazing. It's really rare to meet aliens on this planet. Now I know why you haven't heard of me, and I apologize for being rude. Yet," Jackson stopped deliberately.

"Yet what?" Ranran asked.

"I can guarantee Rebecca in the top three, but there is no way she will win this year." Jackson said with a sneer.

"What!" Ranran's lips trembled violently with anger. Natalie comforted her. "You said Rebecca couldn't win, did you?" The car said.

"Yes, I hope your hearing or memory is fine."

"Both are fine," Natalie replied coolly, "but I hope you don't jump to conclusions. The race hasn't started yet and we still have plenty of time to train. When the time comes, who will win the laurel will not be certain!"

"You're dreaming!" Jackson's propeller trembled as his anger burned. William laughed so hard that he fell to the ground. "I told you that this plane is nothing but performance."

Jackson was even angrier. Rebecca ended their conversation. "Jackson, I know you've always been powerful, and you've always been proud of how good you are. That's all very well, but I want to tell you that this time I will win! I didn't do any training for two years. I just locked myself in a hangar. But their arrival made me understand that the realization of dreams needs to be pursued. We won't be taking the same route as you to get to the race site, but please don't let that lead you to think I'm going to waste this opportunity. Instead, I will spend most of my time making up for the two years I lost. I have made up my mind to win this victory, and I will work tirelessly for it. When it comes time to fight in the sky, I will prove to you that I am the champion!"

Jackson was mesmerized by the applause of the party. He could not understand why Rebecca, who had been depressed only two years ago, had become so eager to win today. Although he was still training for these two years -- he was determined not to retire until he had won five more victories -- he didn't see how Rebecca had tough times these days. He did not see how frightened she was, and he would never know how much she wanted to be in the sky again.

Jackson was different now from who he was a few minutes ago. Just now, he had been confident of winning, and had made wild claims that Rebecca could not win. Now, her words were beginning to shake his confidence that he would win. He even began to wonder if Rebecca was telling the truth.

He suspected that she had just tricked him, while in fact she had been training. Rebecca didn't train, but Jackson's jealousy made him reluctant to trust her.

"No, you lied to me." Jackson began to mutter to himself.

"What are you talking about?" Rebecca asked, puzzled.

"You must have lied to me. You must have been training every day for these two years."

"No, I didn't train. I just did nothing."

"No more denial."

"Come on," William whispered to Rebecca beside her, "it's going to be a tall order for this proud guy to trust you."

"That's right." Replied Rebecca.

"Don't deny it any more. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure your training is more useful than mine. I'm just consolidating my training, while you're picking it up."

"I..." Rebecca stuttered, "I just wanted to win. It doesn't mean I will really win this time."

"No, Rebecca, the championship is already yours." Jackson said, "You beat me on the psychological quality. This is a very important point to win the championship. All right, I'm off to the next place to train. Hurry up and take advantage of the training time before the race. I'll see you at the race site."

The party watched him disappear over the distant hills.

"What's the matter with him? This is not the Jackson I knew." Said Rebecca, puzzled, "Up until now, he's always been what we've just seen, good and proud."

"Perhaps your words have changed him." Natalie said, "He's won so many times before that he thinks it's not something to fight for. He changed his mind when he learned what you had been through in the last two years. He learned the power of dreams."

William came over and continued, "I feel you're in the groove, Rebecca. With words like that, you can make proud Jackson understand that you really want a championship, just like when we first met. And what you have to do is to keep well this firm confidence. You will find that it is a constant source of motivation for you to move forward. The climber won't reach the top if he doesn't want to. He wouldn't be able to reach the top without the help of his faith and struggle. Our task for the rest of the days -- until the race starts -- is to help you remember those flying maneuvers. I believe that with more powerful performance you will certainly succeed."

"I will try my best! Thank you!" Rebecca smiled happily, "Let's get on to the next place."

So they quickened their pace and followed the computer's instructions to approach a cabin, where an extremely special person lived.
