After she tires of waiting, she breaks out of her private school on a scooter and takes up the alias of Molly, becoming a mechanic for Wei Race. But just as things start to flow smoothly, Don Wei is contacted with an interesting challenge: recruit the best racers on Earth to enter the galaxy wide [[Great Race of Oban (phenomenon)|Great Race of Oban]]. Can Molly find some way to go along? ==Full Recap== Eva, a 15 year-old girl in a [[Stern Boarding School|boarding school]], is waiting for her father, Don Wei, to mail her a card or at least call, but he doesn't contact her. The [[Ned|mail receiver]] at the front desk of the school has a package for Eva, which is a part she needs for her rocket-seat. She succeeds in escaping from the boarding school, and makes it to Don Wei's racing building, even though he does not recognize her. Don tells her to leave, but he is busy telling his head mechanic to get to work. While Don is trying to get his mechanic to come to fix the Star-Racer, Eva takes out the upgrade part and the engine starts. Don Wei fires the mechanic over the phone and is suddenly interested in Eva. He wants to know who she is, Eva can't say that she's his daughter, and covers herself up by calling herself Molly. Suddenly, Don Wei gets a surprise visit from Earth Coalition [[President McMullen]]. He needs the best racing manager he can find, and he believes that Don is the perfect candidate. McMullen reveals the truth of the Crogs' ambush on Earth in 2057. Just as the council was preparing for the Crogs to initiate an atmospheric invasion, a mystical being calling himself the [[The Avatar|Avatar]] suddenly appears, inviting the Earth Coalition to take part in a future tournament called the [[Great Race of Ōban (phenomenon)|Great Race of Ōban]]. Upon delivering his message, the Avatar abruptly disappears. During their confusion over such a strange invitation, the councilors notice that the Crog forces have begun retreating from the battle en masse. Because of the bizarre circumstances that caused the sudden ceasefire, the council decided to frame the situation as them and the Earth Coalition forces as "the heroes who protected the Earth from the Crogs." McMullen tells Don that the Avatar has returned, and that it is crucial that Earth participates in the race, as it may foreshadow the fate of Earth itself. Because of the Earth Coalition's dismissive attitude over the Avatar's initial calling 25 years prior, McMullen informs Don that he must form a team to compete in the Great Race before next dawn - which is when the Avatar's vessel will depart Earth. As a result, Don Wei is placed in command of the Earth Team, and he gathers team members: [[Rick Thunderbolt]], the pilot; [[Jordan C. Wilde|Jordan]], the gunner; [[Stan]] and [[Koji]]; the mechanics; and two Star-Racers. When Don is briefing the crew on their destination, a Crog attacks. The crew, with Molly as a stowaway, barely escape the Crog and make it to the Avatar's ship. ==Gallery== <gallery captionalign="left"> Snapshot dvd 00.11 -2011.11.01 21.28.42-.jpg|Eva escapes from Stern.
