The transcript for "The Need for Speed Battle", the fourth chapter of the story mode of Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix.

Cutscene 50: "Welcome to Krakoa"
(chapter opens with the heroes' transport flying in the skies, as Uatu the Watcher observes behind the clouds)
 * Uatu the Watcher: From their home city, to the kings' secret club, and the sorceress' secret sanctuary, our heroes arrive in their next base of operations. With the first half of their jouney and objective complete, they begin the second half in the secret training grounds for all young heroes on Earth. And again, they all remain ready for the battles that await for them in the Grandmaster's tournament.

(the heroes arrive in Krakoa. Next, we see them overseeing their vehicles being placed in their positions)
 * Peter Parker: (adrimiring the place) Still nice to be in Krakoa again. Either it's for private training, maybe some secret parties...
 * Kamala Khan: ...and now: as a base for the GP racers. (seeing other superheroes) And with everyone here, I feel like we're in the middle of a real party.
 * Emma Frost: (chuckles softly; offscreen) One which just begun, my darlings. (approaching Peter and Kamala while in a hovering diamond throne, and getting up) How have my favorite trainees been?
 * Peter Parker: Pretty good, Emma. Still being the heroes we trained to be. And as you can see... halfway on the Grandmaster's tournament.
 * Emma Frost: Delightful. (notices a powerless Silver Surfer standing next to the repaired half of his cosmic board) I've also heard the Silver Surfer survived his battle against his former master Galactus, but at the cost of his board.
 * Kamala Khan: Which we're working on rebuilding by seeking its fragments.
 * Emma Frost: And noticing how busy you all are with this objective and with the Grandmaster's tournament. Hopefully if everything works well, both errands will be solved.
 * Grandmaster: (offscreen) Miss Frost. (appearing next to Emma) Would you like to make your brief for our champions?
 * Emma Frost: Of course. (she approaches the assembled heroes) Welcome to Krakoa, champions. For those of you who don't know me officially, my name is Emma Frost. And I will be your benefactor for this phase of the Intergalactic Grand Prix, as the Grandmaster suggested. (the Stepford Cuckoos appear) Should you have any troubles either here or in your racing activities, my children and I will be there to provide you their assistance if you require any. And just like we will supervise your activities in the tournament, we will also assist you in your objective to recover the fragments of the Silver Surfer's board, and make sure they are safe from untrustworthy hands. Any questions? (no one but Rocket Raccoon raises his hands) Yes?
 * Rocket Raccoon: How do we get to our race tracks?
 * Emma Frost: (uses her powers to create a diamond gate which opens a teleportation portal) Cross over these gates, and you will be sent to the place you think of. If you need to return here, let me know with your thoughts, and I will open the gateways to you. Thank you for the attention, and enjoy your time in Krakoa.

Cutscene 51: "Four Spiders in a Sinister Web"
(cutscene opens with Peter / Spider-Man practicing some maneuvers with his motorcycle the Neighborhood Wind in a training track. Gwen Stacy / Ghost-Spider and Miles Morales / Kid Arachnid are doing the same with their respective motorcycles Speed Ghost and Ultimate Raptor. Just after they finish, the three are met with Black Widow)
 * Peter Parker: Before you said it, we didn't crash them before our race.
 * Black Widow: I see that you didn't. And that you're all doing well. (pauses and looks at a teleportation portal) The three of you got time?
 * Gwen Stacy: Sure, we just finished practicing. And our next race is still hours away at Kamar-Taj. (pauses) You need our help for something?
 * Black Widow: With these three ogres.

(Black Widow shows them footage of Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Venom and Taskmaster talking to a mysterious benefactor)
 * Doctor Octopus: You want me to invade a major S.H.I.E.L.D. base with these three fools?!
 * ???: In exchange for your services, you will all be handsomely rewarded with what you want the most. Including the resources to your destroy your common enemy Spider-Man and those allied with him.

(Black Widow shuts off the footage)
 * Miles Morales: Another evil mastermind hiring villains to do his dirty work?
 * Black Widow: Precisely. And hiring three of your enemies, and one of mine for this one.
 * Peter Parker: So, where's this S.H.I.E.L.D. Base they're raiding?

(next scene, the four are in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base in Camp Lehigh, New Jersey)
 * Ghost-Spider: So what's so special about Camp Lehigh?
 * Black Widow: It's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first base of operations. Where the most prominent projects are safe. Including a classified one which Captain Marvel entrusted S.H.I.E.L.D. to look after: Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S..
 * Spider-Man: (his wrist radar beeps) And another reason why Goblin, Doc Ock, Venom and Taskmaster might be here as well...
 * Black Widow: Don't say it, let me guess. More fragments for the Surfer's board? (sees Spider-Man's radars) And right on the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. station. (sees the villains appearing via MODOK's teleporters) Very well, Spiders. Now the race against time is on. (rushes forward with Spider-Man and his teammates following)
 * Kid Arachnid: (to Gwen) Four of us Spiders... we might as well call this "Operation: W.E.B.". What do you think?
 * Ghost-Spider: It's kinda got a nice ring to it.
 * Black Widow: Focus, team. Focus.

(end of the cutscene, cue to the "Operation: W.E.B." mission)

Cutscene 52: "Caught in a Spider's Diamond Web"
(following the "Operation: W.E.B." mission, Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, Kid Arachnid and Black Widow stand before the defeated villains in the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. station. Venom recovers first, and lunges at the heroes)
 * Spider-Man: Hey, Venom! Think fast!

(Spider-Man tosses a diamond shard, and Venom catches. Venom inspects the shard to his curiosity, while the villains are confused)
 * Doctor Octopus: (realizes what Spider-Man is planning) Throw it away, you fool! Throw it before...!

(suddenly, the diamond bursts a supernatural light, and expands itself into a dome, trapping Venom, Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin and Taskmaster inside)
 * Emma Frost: (telepathically) Caught in a spider's diamond web. (laughs)
 * Green Goblin: (angrily) Frost! (the dome ignites light) FROST!!!

(then, the dome powers down and turns back into a shard, with the villains having disappeared. Emma appears via an astral projection)
 * Spider-Man: So, where'd you send them?
 * Emma Frost: You might say it's a place to 'chill their hot heads'...

(cut to the villains, who are sit in a hill of Antarctica, surrounded by penguins, and shivering miserably in cold.)
 * Taskmaster: (to Venom) Why did you have to touch that diamond, you moron?!
 * Venom: How where we supposed to know what was gonna happen?!
 * Green Goblin: WE?! ARE YOU COUNTING ME IN THIS, YOU MINDLESS BRUTE?!?!?!

(the three continue arguing while Doctor Octopus continues shivering, frustrated)
 * Doctor Octopus: (to himself; irritated) Idiots...! I'm surrounded by idiots! IDIOTS!!!

(cut back to the heroes in the S.H.I.E.L.D. base)
 * Spider-Man: (seeing the villains through a camera drone) Icy come, icy go. (laughs)

(Kid Arachnid and Ghost-Spider find the detected Silver fragments around the base, and collect them)
 * Ghost-Spider: And that's all of the fragments. Not so hard, was it?
 * Black Widow: No, but these fragments weren't the only things these villains were after. Someone sent them after Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., and we need to figure out who and why. Until then... (contacts S.H.I.E.L.D.) Romanoff to S.H.I.E.L.D., requesting relocation of Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S..
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. Operative: (radio voice) Copy that, agent Romanoff.
 * Kid Arachnid: (checking the IGP agenda) You know, while Kamala and the others are to compete in this course that takes place on Kamar-Taj, we should probably go looking for some more fragments before ours starts, what do you think?
 * Spider-Man: Good idea.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 53: "Sorcerer's Marathon"
(cutscene opens in Kamar-Taj, where another IGP race is in preparation)
 * Phil Coulson: Hello again, sports fans! We're back for another outstanding event in the Intergalactic Grand Prix! Where the universe's greatest heroes and villains are competing for the title of Ultimate Traveler! And previously on this fantastic tournament, our heroes underwent races in New York, ancient kingdoms like Wakanda and Atlantis, and the tracks provided by Devil Dinosaur and Ego the Living Planet. Which makes three phases complete, meaning, ladies and gentlemen: that our heroes have reached half of their adventure!
 * Robbie Robertson: That's right, Phil. And our champions begin our fourth phase in a new track designed by the Masters of the Mystic Arts in Kamar-Taj, Earth's greatest sorcerer sanctuary, which promises to give our racers an outstanding challenge to test their abilities. Let's now pass the word to our reporter Betty Brant, who is live on Kamar-Taj to tell us everything.

(live screen turns on, showcasing Betty in her interview on Kamar-Taj)
 * Betty Brant: Thank you, mr Robinson. And thank you, Agent Coulson. And yes. Preparations for the race in Kamar-Taj are high, with the sorcerers preparing the finest resources for our heroes' challenge. From this well-designed track, to transformational obstacles. And of course, the enigmatic Mirror Dimension, as suggested by one of our racers. Our Sorcerer Supreme, dr. Stephen Strange... (behind her, appears an inter-dimensional portal, from where Doctor Strange appears with his racing vehicle, the Doctor's Marathon) ... who's also participating his group's circuit with his fabulous racecar. (Strange approaches Betty for the interview) So, Doctor? Do we suppose you signed up for this tournament to represent the Masters of the Mystic Arts?
 * Doctor Strange: As well as all other factions who battle against mystical threats, including the Defenders.
 * Betty Brant: Very fascinating, Doctor. (back to her stream) Also joining this circuit on the heroes' side are Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Hulk, and the Fantastic Four. (her drones showcase the heroes with their vehicles) All of them riding their amazing race cars. (cameras showcase the opposing villains and their vehicles) And on the villains' side, we have dr. Michael Morbius, the Living Vampire. The Leader. Doctor Doom. The Mandarin. MODOK. And...

(Betty's cameras showcase an ill-tempered Doctor Octopus mumbling angrily while hopping on his race car, and shaking his body to alleviate from the cold. Scene is seen by Coulson and Robbie)
 * Phil Coulson: Looks like Doc Ock's in a bad mood for this circuit. Could he have lost another superhero fight?
 * Robbie Robertson: Or he could be angry at his henchmen's clumsiness. That's usually what all evil bosses complain about when things don't go the way they plan. Most times, they say: "I'm surrounded by idiots!".

(they both laugh)
 * Phil Coulson: Classic.

(scene cuts back to Kamar-Taj. We see Spider-Man spotting an angered Doctor Octopus before being approached by Betty)
 * Betty Brant: So, why's Doc Ock in such a bad mood now?
 * Spider-Man: Let's just say his team-up with Goblin, Venom and Taskmaster didn't work so well like their secret employer planned.
 * Betty Brant: They must've suffered a very humiliating defeat.

(Spider-Man nods for agreement)
 * Mary Jane Watson: (speakers) The race is about to start in one minute. All participants of Group A, please get to your positions now.
 * Betty Brant: So, while the others are racing now... are you on to...?
 * Spider-Man: ...seek out more missing fragments of the Surfer's board before the villains do? It's why I'm here now. (he walks away, approaching Ms. Marvel, who is in her kart) Good luck.

(as Spider-Man rushes forward to the shards, the heroes and villains rev up their vehicles' engines, as Mary Jane appears standing in a flying platform, and summons her racing flag. End of the cutscene, cue to the "Strange Road Ahead" mission)

Cutscene 54: "Extra Magic Lessons"
(following the "Strange Road Ahead" mission, Doctor Strange and the heroes with him are in Kamar-Taj's training ground. They are met with Spider-Man)
 * Peter Parker: Everything went well on this race?
 * Doctor Strange: As predicted, it was all well performed. And I trust you found more of the fragments like you said you would?
 * Peter Parker: Gwen, Miles and I sought every area, and... (shows Strange a web bag full of the shards) ...didn't leave a single one behind.
 * Doctor Strange: Excellent. (uses magic to teleport the shards to Gloria in Shuri's lab. Then, Peter and Strange see Kamala trying one of the sling rings) Also, your friend here expressed interest in trying one of our sling rings. I did agree that she would even keep after this race. Of course, she needs to slow down, and be more patient.
 * Peter Parker: She'll make it there, Doc. MJ did once. Kamala can, too.
 * Doctor Strange: (nods for agreement and notices Peter's wrist device beeping) Speaking of your pretty bird, I believe that's her calling you now.

(Peter answers his device, with a holographic projection of Mary Jane appearing, with Kamala noticing them)
 * Mary Jane Watson: Your group's race is the next one, Tiger. Are you coming?
 * Peter Parker: Right on. (ends the transmission) Better get moving, or my pretty bird will peck me to a pulp for being late.
 * Kamala Khan: Allow me.

(Kamala uses her sling ring to open a portal to the track)
 * Peter Parker: Thanks, Kam. (to Strange) Told ya, didn't I?
 * Doctor Strange: Yes... yes, you did. (Peter puts on his mask, and storms off for the race. Then, Strange addresses to Kamala) That was well performed, Kamala. Just like he predicted.
 * Kamala Khan: I truly appreciate that. (about the sling ring with her) So, may I...?
 * Doctor Strange: Yes, as we've agreed. You've earned it.

(end of the cutscene)

Cutscene 55: "For Xandar"
(cutscene opens in the Nova Empire, Xandar, where Betty is broadcasting her live report)
 * Betty Brant: With the conclusion of our heroes' circuit in Kamar-Taj, we move on to their next circuit. Which takes place in the planet Xandar, the capital of the Nova Empire. For this race, racers will be riding in teams of two. Playing on the villains' side on this first circuit are Ronan the Accuser, Loki, Moonstone, Ultron and the Enchantress and Executioner. And on the heroes' side... Avengers Thor and Captain Marvel, along with Guardians of the Galaxy Peter Quill the Star-Lord, Lady Gamora, and the dynamic duo Rocket Raccoon and Groot!

(the racers present themselves in the track, as their vehicles are positioned in the starting line. We first see Star-Lord and Gamora with their daughter Zoe)
 * Star-Lord: Don't you worry, baby. Mommy and daddy will be back to you as soon as we finish this race.
 * Gamora: Until then, darling... you behave yourself, and play nice with other children watching, okay?
 * Zoe Quill: Okay.
 * Star-Lord and Gamora: (unison) That's our little princess.

(they kiss Zoe's cheeks, with Wasp and Captain Marvel watching)
 * The Wasp: You know, I still think it's cute that Gamora became such a loving mom.
 * Captain Marvel: Yeah, you and I both know she's had such a high reputation as a relentless assassin when she was with Thanos. Until she found love with Quill, and had their little angel. And it's also like another mother once said: kids give us a chance to be better than we are. Better than we used to be.
