Jak discovered something interesting when morning arrived, as Keira, Rayn, his sisters, and the rest of the team were excited for what was going to happen today, as all they had to do was face down the last of the KGC's events, tackle the Yellow Eco Cup's Grand Prix, and then deal with Mizo, since everyone in this chamber, even Samos and the disguised brothers, who had done nothing during this adventure, agreed that the mystery racer was going to be the crime lord in question, especially when one considered Jak's statement to him earlier in the week.

"Today's the big day... the final events of the Yellow Eco Cup and then the Grand Prix," Rayn said, where it was clear that she was shocked by the fact that they had been able to get this far, even though she did have faith in the abilities of Jak, Twilight, Starlight, Cozy, and everyone else on their team to obtain the remaining gold medals and pave the way for them to win the entire sport, before pulling Mizo out into the open at long last, "Jak, I pray that your luck holds for the rest of the KGC, as we'll need it if Mizo joins the final race."

"If Mizo is better than Razer, I'll gladly face him and take him down," Jak stated, as there was no beating around the bush with this fact, because without his sisters interfering with the previous times he raced Razer he knew that he could beat the best of the best on Mizo's team, meaning he had a feeling that he could face and taken down Mizo if he was the one who was going to be joining them on the track, "and even if it isn't Mizo, I'll take down whoever he sends at us."

Rayn said nothing as the team voiced their agreement, that at this point they had faith in their abilities and knew that the person Mizo sent at Jak and his sisters would be knocked into the ground at some point, to which she chuckled and told all of them that she agreed, that she had a feeling he was telling her the truth and that she had no reason to worry, before she pulled out the tablet she carried at all times, causing the others to ready themselves for the information she was going to give them. The first event of the day was going to be held in Sanctuary, on the Wasteland Isle track this time, and that it was going to be a Capture event, meaning Jak and his sisters would be tackling Razer's team once more, though as Rayn said that she knew none of them needed her to wish them well, as with the abilities of the sisters Razer was going to have a hard time winning any event he took part in. Sure enough the siblings found him and Shiv's group waiting at the isle that was their destination, with the two bases already set up before any of them arrived, though Keira made a quick check of all their vehicles before allowing everyone to leave the transport, just to be sure no devices were added, and once she was done they headed out and took their places on the other side of the arena, causing Razer to climb into his vehicle as they waited for the announcers to start this event. Not a few moments later Rayn, Blitz, and the announcers called for the event to start and caused both teams to surge forward without wasting even a single second, though this time Razer focused on gunning for the siblings while Twilight continued to counter him, since he was known for cheating now and she was sure that some of his weapons were illegal, even though it did require her to use her powers to stop him from doing anything to Jak and their sisters.

In the end, however, Razer's actions helped solidify the defeat of his team, because Shiv's group wanted nothing to do with Jak, Starlight, or even Cozy for that matter, not without someone like Razer backing them up, and as such it allowed them to score all the points needed to win the gold medal for the event, causing the man to curse as he realized his error and he raced off before anyone could stop him, not that Jak and his sisters cared since it meant they were one step closer to their target and the end of the KGC.

After that Rayn informed them that the next event would be taking place in the Icelands, on the Mountaintop Highway for a Death Race, something Jak knew would give Razer time to cool off or stoke his anger to new levels, though for now it was only he and his sisters who raced on the track in question, where they raced against each other and put on a show for the watchers, even though Jak shattered the two hundred and forty score needed for the gold, just like his sisters overcame it as well and added another gold medal to their growing collection. From there Jak, his sisters, and their team headed back to Kras City for a Circuit Race that would be taking place on the Waterfall Loop track, where they found that Razer and UR-86 were more than ready for a tough race, something that excited Jak as he raced against them, though again Twilight came in with her magic when she noticed that Razer had modified his vehicle to constantly fire off a weapon that none of them used during any of the other events, a powerful Peace Maker blast that targeted whoever happened to be in resting in first place. Of course Rayn and the officials seemed worried about such a thing, since it was illegal for something like this to happen, while Blitz seemed happy about what he was seeing, though Twilight cancelled out the attacks by combining her magic and Eco into a barrier that focused on the incoming missiles and appeared for a few seconds, to catch the blast and absorb it so nothing happened to anyone, before disappearing until another one came at them, but the frequency at which he fired them worried her, even though it should lead to him burning out his weapons system for a time. Not even a few moments after that thought came to mind she watched as Razer's racer smoked and he had to pull off to the side for a time, a fitting punishment since it prevented him from racing for the rest of this event, especially when he ended up right in last place all over again, allowing Twilight to breath a sigh of relief as she stopped using her powers for a time and they finished the race at long last.

Jak, of course, ended up in first with Keira right behind him, leaving the sisters to take third through sixth, since Midnight liked to race with them, and the rest of their team to take the remaining places, which prevented Mizo's team from scoring any points again, putting a smile on Rayn's face as Blitz looked down at them with a look of disbelief, as he was expecting Razer to win at long last, and it stayed that way for a time, allowing Pecker to get it and caused Blitz to regain himself again before he stormed off.

With that done Rayn informed them that the next events would be in Haven City, as the first was going to be a Freeze Rally in the Sewer Raceway, meaning Jak and his sisters wouldn't have to worry about Razer showing up again, though it was a nice event to have since they didn't have to stress out while tackling the track, even though it ended with Jak taking first, as usual, and his sisters ending up in random positions following him, as whoever earned second during one of these events ended up in another position during the next one. After that the next two events would be happening on the same track, an odd decision and meant there would be a period of rest between each of them, where they found it was in Haven again and that they would be on the Waterworks Circuit track, where the first one was a Circuit Race, though this time around all of them found that Razer didn't even try to cheat, either because he knew it was futile or Mizo had ordered him to stop, to just race and see if he could overcome them the normal way. Of course that didn't matter in the grand scheme of things, as Jak and his sisters overcame Razer and Shiv's group once more, pushing Mizo's team backwards once more and let their friends pull forward, something that ended with Jak claiming the gold while his sisters and Keira took the positions behind him, just like they had done in the past, making it nearly impossible for Razer and the others to score any points, which the crowd seemed to enjoy. Once that was done they waited for a time as Rayn explained that the other event was going to be a Death Race, another calm one before the siblings and their team dealt with the upcoming storm of the Grand Prix, and this time around the score they needed to beat was a hundred and thirty, an interesting and odd number that was beaten by Jak and his sisters, earning what they assumed had to be the last of the gold medals, though with that done the siblings and their team returned to their base of operations as they readied themselves for the Grand Prix.

Welcome everyone to the final race of the season! The winner here will take home all the marbles, and virtually run Kras  City when it's all over. Blitz stated, speaking to the cameras as soon as the show started, just a few moments after Jak, his sisters, and the rest of the team returned for a short period of time, where they found Pecker waiting near the man, as there was no telling what might happen next with Blitz, before he raised a hand and accepted a tablet that was handed to him, where a smile appeared on his face as he stared at the camera, Wait! This just in, there's been a later entry for the Mizo team. Sources say this mysterious wheel jockey is one of the best drivers in the world! So stay tuned for all the death and destruction!

"And there's no one coming on stage... we've got you, Mizo." Jak commented, because there was no reason for Blitz to not interview the newcomer that was joining the opposing team at the last leg of the race, and no racer he had seen was shy at all, which meant that the man wanted to keep his secret a little while longer, before he was revealed to the world, though as he said that he glanced at the others for a moment, who nodded their heads as they focused on the final Grand Prix and the end of Mizo's rule over Kras City's shadowy empire.

What Rayn discovered was that there were three Circuit Races for the Grand Prix this time, one on the Canyon Run track, the next on the Eastern Tour track, and the last one being on the Dethdrome track, though as everyone headed out they found that Blitz wasn't in his usual place, rather there was a racer joining them that looked a lot like him, causing Jak and his sisters to smile, because this was the best time to reveal his secret, though all of them climbed into their vehicles, while Rayn took her place with the announcers as Pecker took over for Blitz. What they discovered as they headed down the first of the three Circuit Races was that Blitz was far more aggressive than anyone else that Jak and his sisters had faced, during this sport anyway, and he fired upon them as they raced down the Canyon Run track, and he appeared to be a cheater as well, following Razer's attempts from one of the previous events, causing Twilight to go on the defensive once more, even if it put a strain on her magic since Midnight was doing the same with Razer. Sure enough Jak scored first place with Keira and his sisters placing behind him, knocking Blitz down to where his followers were positioned, meaning his team failed to score any points, before they moved onto the Eastern Tour track, finding that their opponents repeated themselves with the cheating and attempts to bring them down, but the sisters did everything possible to stop Blitz and Razer, which they were fine with since it meant Jak could claim first once more. After that it came down to the Dethdrome Circuit Race, as it was the final event of the KGC, where Blitz did everything and anything in his power this time around, to take them down and do some damage to their seemingly perfect season, though in the end his cheating weapons were countered again, by Twilight and Midnight stopping him and Razer, allowing Jak to score first once more, causing the crowd to cheer as Pecker declared him and his team the winners of the Championship.

Of course Blitz, enraged by his loss and what it meant to someone like him, tore off his wig and revealed that he was Mizo, he even verbally confirmed it for all to hear and even said that he never intended on honoring the bet with Krew, even to the point where he informed them that he planned on crushing Kras City as well, something that Pecker used the cameras to tell everyone watching, shattering Mizo's image instantly. In that moment he grabbed the container that Rayn had, one that contained the antidotes none of them needed, jumped into his racer, and drove off like a madman, though Jak took a moment to glance over to his sisters and found that Twilight had separated into her six selves, each channeling a bit of the Eco colors they had access to before firing a ball each that looked like Peace Makers orbs, which combined on Mizo's racer and blew him to pieces.

"There, Mizo is out of the picture and you have control of Kras' entire shadow empire," Jak said, where he glanced over to Rayn for a moment, who nodded her head in agreement, though he had a feeling that they would have plenty to discuss before he, his sisters, and his friends left Kras for their own home, hence why he beckoned for the others to follow him for a time with a smile on his face, "Come on, let's celebrate our victory!"

Sure enough they returned to their base of operations for a short period of time before heading out into the city to join the celebration, though before Twilight joined them she stayed back for a few seconds as her other selves merged with her again, to which she removed the jacket for a time and watched as the orange fur spread up the rest of her right arm and covered her shoulder, only stopping when it reached her back, to which she sighed and covered it up for the time being before she joined her siblings, knowing she had her own conversation to have once this was said and done.
