Synopsis
Taking place between "Hunt for the Truth, Part 3" and "Racing with the Enemy, Part 1," the students of Racer Academy all gather together to play "Gotcha!" a game that was banned from the Academy, so in order to make sure they don't get in trouble, Speed and Conor distract security from the campus and make sure that Spritle and the teachers are all asleep. The students are required to wear certain gauntlets on their wrists that explain the rules of the game and tell the person wearing it who their target is going to be. The game begins, and Speed and Lucy team up and look around campus together to help each other out. Jesse goes after X and chases him into the Control Room in the school. While horse-playing there, Jesse accidentally breaks the console allowing X to escape and is then tagged by Annalise, but when he is tagged, he suddenly vanishes into thin air leaving his gauntlet behind. The same thing then happens to Tyler after Mitch tags him. When Mitch tries to warn Annalise and X, he is tagged by Annalise and disappears himself followed by X and Annalise. Soon enough, all the students, Aniskov, Spritle, and Conor have all disappeared leaving Speed, Lucy, and Chim-Chim alone. Not knowing what to do to bring everyone back, Speed and Lucy apologize to each other for what has happened between them after the situation with Alpha Leader and end up kissing, which ends up bringing them to where everyone else is in the virtual track. Conor explains that the reason everyone was disappearing is because of Jesse breaking the console in the control room, which activated the discarded metal that was constructed from scrap metal from the Virtual Track that Conor found. Chim-Chim, who is in the outside world manages to activate a portal that sends them back to the real world only to get Conor in trouble with Spritle.
