Is that the best you got... come on!
Think you can take me?
Yeah, come on!
Oh, great, another fight.
Well, if it isn't Captain Doza and Yeager!
What do you want, Hype? We're a little busy right now.
Well, I'm glad you took time out of your busy schedule
to hear me out.
It's a bit dicey,
but I have a solution to all of our problems!
Solution?
Well, as you can see,
the Aces are going crazy with nothing to do
since you won't let us race.
We're trying not to draw attention
to ourselves right now.
It's far too dangerous.
I know that! But if we can't race here,
we just race somewhere else.
My old friend Vranki
has a deluxe high-stakes racing circuit
out in the Voxx Cluster.
Well, I understand how this solves your boredom problem,
but what does it do for us?
You've got six of the finest flying Aces in the galaxy here.
Come on!
We can make some serious money at Vranki's Casino!
Well, we do need credits for supplies.
We're running low on everything.
And we all wanna race again, so...
that fixes everything.
Fine. We'll set course
to your friend's casino.
But don't make me regret this decision.
You can count on me, Captain!
Yes! That's just great.
Yeah!
Here we are... the Voxx Cluster.
I still can't believe you learned to race
in an asteroid field. Yeah, well, out here
you're either a great racer or you're a goner.
If we play this the right way and luck is on our side,
we can make some serious credits.
Who, exactly, is this Vranki guy again?
Welcome, visitors, to Vranki's Hotel and Casino.
Well, well, well.
Isn't this a sight?
The notorious Hype Fazon has returned.
Hello...
Vranki.
Hype Fazon.
The greatest racer to come out of the Voxx Cluster.
I lost a real money-maker when you quit, Hype.
I bet you never found another pilot better than me, Vranki?
Yeah, you could say that.
Get over here, pal!
What a beautiful reunion.
Okay, okay, enough of that.
Hands off the goods.
Now, now. I know what you're thinkin'.
But don't let my good looks intimidate ya.
Besides, I'm nothin' like the other Hutts
you may have heard of.
But I'm exactly like those you've never heard of.
I am Vranki the Blue,
proprietor, host, and promoter
of Vranki's Hotel and Casino.
Please follow us inside.
You're about to see the most happening casino around.
Last time I was here, there were so many people
we almost compromised the gravity!
As you can see, I run a legitimate business.
Whether you're here for relaxation or excitement,
Vranki can accommodate.
Well, looks like he can accommodate
a lotta empty seats.
So much for the crowds of people.
Up, up, up!
We have guests!
You have to excuse my staff.
Ever since the war broke out,
it's been rather quiet around here.
All the rich folk fled to Canto Bight!
No idea what it is, but... Mm, delicious!
Oh, so good!
Did Hype tell you I was his first racing sponsor?
I always knew this kid would go far.
Racing is actually
what brings us here, Vranki.
Oh, really?
You have my attention.
Well, we're just looking for a friendly race,
you know, make a few credits
while we pass through the system.
I'm always interested in a little...
friendly racing.
Ohh... holo-games!
So new and shiny!
Oh, this game is incredibly elaborate.
Oh, and the colors are pretty too!
So, Vranki, what are the stakes?
I been itchin' to compete.
Oh, ya have? Well...
business has been slow.
But with a racer of your caliber
to draw in the crowds...
I want you back, Hype.
You, the number one racer at the casino,
me raking in millions of credits!
Wait, wait, wait! It was different in the past.
I don't wanna be a part of your gambling schemes anymore.
Well, all right. You wanna race,
you wanna make money here,
you and your pilots are welcome to do so.
You win, you get your money.
You lose, you stay here and race for me.
And the money you make is mine.
Looks like you haven't changed a bit, Vranki.
Hype, I can't tell you what to do,
but I can tell you a Hutt can't be trusted.
We need the credits, but I can't afford to lose you.
I got this, Captain. Trust me... I own this course.
I'll win us the money, and then we'll be on our way.
All right, Vranki. You got a deal.
Wonderful!
25,000 credits for Hype Fazon.
Let the race begin!
Hype in position.
