The Fatal Spiral

The Fatal Spiral is the seventh chapter of Unleashed. It is preceded by Honor for Disgrace, and succeeded by Flight of the Falcons.

Synopsis
The two Falcons duel it out in a Death Race, with Captain Falcon prevailing. As Jody is released from her restraints, multiple Blood Hawks suddenly drive up, each with their own Blood Falcon. The Bloods begin to reveal the whole backstory.

With Shadow's death, the Bloods were left with the sole mission of eliminating Captain Falcon. The Bloods knew what was on the stick and where it was kept, but whereas Shadow used the stick to keep Pico away from him, the Bloods sought to use it against him to get at Falcon. For three months they tried to crack Shadow's terminal with no success, so they disabled the network's security, using the memory stick as bait, and gambling on Federation Intelligence on having an algorithm to decode the two passwords. When Lily unlocked it for them, they stole the stick back, and set their plan in motion. Falcon and Jody prepare to escape with the Blood Falcons in pursuit.

Trivia
The ending with multiple copies of Blood Falcons is an allusion to Blood Falcon's GX master class interviews, where he states that there are more than one of him. This ending is not likely to be considered canonical.
