01x02 - Mkhuzi: The Spirit Racer

[bunniefuu]

As we get ready for racing
fever to grip the city once again,

all eyes are on the biggest,
baddest race on planet Earth.

The Soweto Super Circuit!

Intergalactic Racing Champion,
Ogun, returns for a live exclusive.

Undefeated, except for the last
time you raced here in Soweto

- and lost to Mkhuzi, the human racer.

Shame you'll never get a rematch
now that Mkhuzi is retired.

- Manzo!

I'll catch
you! Stop going so fast!

Ha. You think
that's fast? Watch this.

Jangu, ready? Let's sync!

- Whoa!

What could possibly
bring you back after all...

all this time?

- What could...
- I want a rematch with Mkhuzi.

You hear that?

I'm coming for you, Mkhuzi!

Ogun.

Whoa! Whoa! Oh!

I'm okay.

He
is a half-alien?

- Manzo! Stay put!

That was a...

- a traffic violation!
- Oh. Dang it!

Let's go, Jangu.

- You're late.

- Jangu, shall we?

My
ancestors, it's me,

- Manomi and Manzo.
Manomi and Manzo.

Please keep us strong and shield
us from the shadow of the darkness.

Please continue to be
our everlasting guides.

Ah! What
happened to your forehead?

You're bleeding.

Were you racing again?

No, Ma.

We were just
practicing. To sync.

Uh-uh, I
cannot believe you two.

You see, I retired from racing
so I could raise a beautiful son

and live a long
life into my old age

instead of ending up a smear of
dirt on the Soweto Super Circuit.

Why do you wanna sync with
Jangu so badly anyway?

I wanna be like Mkhuzi.

I wanna be Zulu.

Like you.

Hmm.

Just because there are
parts of us that are different,

- doesn't make us any less Zulu.

Yeah, okay.

Huh?

Whoa!

What?

- Hello, Soweto!

Huh? Who are you?

Excuse me?

Who am I? The
one, the only, Cosmizi!

The greatest race
host in the galaxy.

Here to introduce you to the
new owner of this neighborhood.

- Ogun!
- Hey!

Oh, no...

Oh, yes.

Hmm.

Demolition begins tomorrow, so
you'll need to vacate my property

if you don't want to be...

- Oh.
- Forcibly evicted.

Ya, man, this is not your
neighborhood. You can't demolish it.

Oh, actually, it
is. Hmph.

Hmm, that smell.

Ew, a half-human.

We won't let you.

Right, guys?

Ah, ah.

Guys?
You see?

Like I said, I
own this place now.

Vacate the premises or...

Or what?

Mkhuzi.

Finally.

Why are you really here, Ogun?

Race me in a rematch

or lose your precious
neighborhood.

I'm retired.

Boys?

It's your choice.

Ma, it's dangerous.

You're not...
Mkhuzi protects.

Fine. Mkhuzi will race.

But if Mkhuzi wins,

you leave this
neighborhood alone.

For good.

Hmm.

Deal.

Bye.

Watch where you're going.

Come on, Jangu.

Let's just go.

Zozo?

For you, Zozo.

Has anybody seen Manzo?

Hmm?

Breaking news.

Mkhuzi has returned for the
head-to-head showdown with Ogun

that we've all been waiting for.

Joining them are some old
"friends" from across the galaxy.

- Mkhuzi protects.
Big Brain and Tokolosh.

Mkhuzi
protects.

Look up above!
It's our champion!

What the...

Ogun!

Three!

Two!

One.

Mkhuzi protects.

Go!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Come on! Aah!

And they're off,
folks. Ogun leading the pack!

Mkhuzi's finally
joining the party.

I see you.

Neutralize.

Whoa! Ugh!

Destruction.

Here it comes!

The Tokolosh and
Big Brain Grinder!

Ah!

Ah!

Pathetic.

Hammer Fist.

What?

- That's not the Mkhuzi we know.

The boy...

It looks like there's
no getting out of this, boy.

Stupid. The half-human trash.

Extend-o-Fist!

Hmm.

All right, let's play.

Could it be?

Careful, Zozo.

They're
headed into Hyperspeed!

Switch to Hyper-cams!

Many racers have
perished in Hyperspeed.

You better keep up, boy.

Losing a leg might
run in the family.

Protect.

- Protect.

- Protect.

- Protect.

Mkhuzi... protect.

Oh, man.

- I can't be here.

You're late.

Jangu, shall we?

All of the different parts
of you make you Zulu.

Mkhuzi.

Zozo.

Vula amehlo.

Open your eyes.

My
ancestors, it's me,

Manomi and Manzo,

please keep us strong and shield
us from the shadow of the darkness.

Please continue to be
our everlasting guides.

Give them what you got, Manzo!

What?

Jangula
Battle Mech Mode.

Yah! Is that Manzo?

Hmm. Ready to meet
your ancestors?

Ogun Iron w*r Mode!

- I already did.
Fight!

That's the
spirit.

- More, more!

- Get them!
- Mkhuzi!

Ya! Get down!

Punch!

Yeah!

Jangu.

Fire! Let him burn!

It's
the final stretch, honey.

This is too tight for me.

- Jangu!

Hmm.

I can't believe
my eyes, race fans.

We have... a tie!

What?

I failed, Jangu.

A decade of
endless battles,

only to be equaled by a boy.

Hmm.

Few have managed
to keep up with me.

- Your neighborhood is safe.

Our next race won't be so easy.

Stay sharp, Mkhuzi.

Thank
you, ancestors.

Mkhuzi!
Mkhuzi! Mkhuzi! Mkhuzi! Mkhuzi!
