The scene opens to a montage of racecars are seen driving around for the Great Wall Race.

Commentator: "Once a year, this city becomes more than a city. Once a year, these streets... become more than streets. This year... the winner will become... immortal!"

The camera cuts and zooms out to show a giant trophy shaped as a Peach of Immortality. It then fades to a television screen. MK and Mei gasp.

MK: "A Peach of Immortality!"

Liù: "Uh, Peach of what now?"

MK and Mei start ranting at Liù for not knowing what the Peaches of Immortality are. Tang clears his throat and interrupts the conversation.

Tang: "If you'll allow me. Legend says there is a sacred field of trees which grows in the Heavenly Realm, protected by the gods themselves. Every few thousand years, these trees bring forth the Peaches of Immortality. Against the wishes of the Heavenly Host, the Monkey King took them all, making himself immortal!"

Liù: "Wait a second. I thought Monkey King was already immortal."

Mei: "Liù, you're missing the point! Whoever wins this race will..."

The screen transitions from the TV screen showing the commercial to Red Son holding an advertisement for the race.

Red Son: "Live forever! *notices his parents aren't listening* A-Are you two even listening?"

Princess Iron Fan: "Uh... something about peaches? Look, your schemes are quaint, but I never much cared for stone fruit."

Red Son: "But... the peaches are powerful!"

Princess Iron Fan: "Like the Weather Station was powerful? Why don't you just run along, hmm? Can't you see Mommy and Daddy have important business with an ancient power source."

The Bull Clones are digging something up while The Demon Bull King stares at it with blue eyes before he snaps out of it when Red Son says,

Red Son: "Fine! You two stay here in your hole digging your 'mysterious power source.' *turns and leaves the scene* Ugh, I am going to win the race, and when I get that peach, I'm not sharing!"

Demon Bull King: "Foolish boy. If I were to race, I would crush him!"

Princess Iron Fan: "It would be wrong of us to shatter our son's ambitions. That's far too cruel! Even for demons."

Both of them devilishly laugh. The scene fades to MK, Liù and Mei as Mei works on something with Liù's motorcycle.

Liù: "So, why do you want me to enter this race and not you? I thought you wanted to 'race this event'."

Mei: "Well, I did before, but, you never learned how to have fun! So you're going to do this in my place! Also, you needed a break from saving MK's butt and doing your job at the same time."

MK: "She's right you know. Those other racers won't stand a chance!"

Mei: "Right? I'm going to guide Liù through the race because I know the track like the back of my hand! The back alleys, the front alleys, the sideway alleys. All the alleys! She was made for this!"

MK: "Yep! I'm totally gonna win this thing."

Liù: "Wait, what? You're not racing. This is not just doing random noodle deliveries here, noodle dude! This should not be a surprise."

MK: "Oh, yeah, uh, I just thought you were doing that stuff for me. *Liù growls while glaring at him* But upon reflection, that doesn't make much sense."
