"Revelations" is an episode of the series Ōban Star-Racers.

After crashing and becoming stranded due to the attack of another racer, Molly and Jordan try to make their way across Oban to catch up with the temple before the start of the next race. Along the way they encounter the beings that created Oban, and learn a terrifying secret about the true nature of the Ultimate Prize.

[edit] Plot

Molly and Jordan are shown lying on the rock the giants had laid them on. Molly sits up and looks around the cave. Then Jordan sits up. They get up and off the rock and go over to the Whizzing Arrow III. Jordan goes in it and Eva climbs up into the cockpit to try the transmitter. It crackles as she tries to make contact. "This is Molly, someone answer me!" she cries desperately. The scene cuts to the Earth Team's module, where Koji is at the controls and hears Molly's call for help. When it cuts back to Molly, the transmitter pops and smokes for a second and won't work again. The scene goes back to Koji , who is joined by Stan and Don Wei. Koji tells them he thought he heard Molly's voice, and Don tells them to keep trying.

Molly throws the transmitter down in anger and watches Jordan set up poles with a tarp in front of the racer. When she asks him what he's doing, he tells her that they're probably going to be there for a long time, and all their supplies are there. Molly gets a mental image of her much older self serving some water to a much older Jordan, still down at the bottom of the gorge. Looking horrified, she hops down to the ground and takes down the makeshift tent with a swift hit and tells him that they'd better get going.

She goes ahead, pulling out her flashlight, and heads for a set of stairs that are nearby. Jordan goes running after her carrying a large backpack. They continue up the stairs and end up closer to the top of the gorge on a thin ledge that spans the width of it. Jordan is nervous about crossing it, but Molly goes on and walks slowly across it. Cautiously, Jordan follows. Molly is halfway across when a sudden strong wind picks up. Molly loses her balance and begins to sway, and Jordan is about to lose the bag with supplies he brought. The wind pushes her and she falls to one side. Just as it appears that she's going to fall to her death (yet again) Jordan leaps out onto the narrow bridge and grabs her before she can fall. Both fall to the narrow bridge and Jordan cringes until the wind dies down. He looks up, then down at Eva. His arms are wrapped around her while he is on top. She thanks him and then it is one of those 'we're a bit too close..' moments. Both blush, and Jordan helps Eva up. They continue across the bridge and safely reach the other side. They then come to another stair case. A very long stair case, that is. They are exhausted by the time they reach the top, not to mention overwhelmed by the sight that is in front of them. A large open area (very large!) and another stair case on the far end. (Very far away!) They begin the trek across the flat area, and Jordan complains that they should stop. Molly counters this by saying that if they stop now; they'll never be able to start again.

The sun begins to set, and both are tired and sweaty (Jordan even more so, not so much Molly) Jordan stops a bit, falling behind. Suddenly, Molly squints up ahead, and her mother is standing before her. Molly shakes her head, muttering that it can't be possible. Maya walks up to her and strokes her face, telling her to stop pushing herself so hard. Molly hugs her tightly, but all Jordan sees is Eva talking to herself. Jordan is about to say something, when Molly taps him on the shoulder. He spins, seeing two Mollys. However, the one talking to herself disappears, clearly a mirage. The one standing behind him stops him, holding his arm. She admits that she loves him, and Jordan is thrilled, telling her that is exactly how he felt. The sun sinks behind the wall, and both Maya, and Molly (the one hugging Jordan anyway) disappear. Jordan and Moly back up, clearly disturbed. Molly tells Jordan she's seeing things. Jordan agrees, when suddenly, big, scary black shadows appear. Both are freaked out, and begin running towards the stair case. They continue running, hurrying up the stair case, which the big, scary shadow things gaining. They pass through a wall of light (because it's dark out, remember) and the Shadows back off, clearly afraid of the light. Jordan and Molly continue, and enter the big temple...
