traced it until she zeroed in on the point of origin. Focusing with her binoculars, she saw Grem and Acer with the fake WGP camera aimed at the racecourse.
    â€œFinn! It’s the camera!” she cried.
    â€œWhere?” Finn shouted.
    â€œOn the tower!”
    Finn took off at top speed, racing along the winding cliff roads toward the WGP camera. He needed to stop Grem and Acer fast, before more racers were injured.
    Mater continued to listen to the mysterious car who was the mastermind behind this explosive operation.
    â€œThis was to be alternative fuel’s moment in the sun. But after today, everyone will race back to gasoline. And we, the owners of the largest untapped oil reserve in the world, will become the most powerful cars in the world! They will need us. And they will finally respect us!”
    Mater gasped as the roomful of Lemons burst out into cheers.

F inn zigzagged up the steep cliff until he reached a large crevasse. He could see Grem and Acer on the opposite side, holding the WGP camera. Finn hit the gas and leaped toward the two Lemons.
    That was when Finn felt himself freeze in midair. A helicopter had captured him with a large magnet.
    Grem and Acer started laughing at Finn.
    â€œWe figured you might stop by,” Acer shouted to Finn. The two Lemons gleefully turned back to the camera and aimed it at Number 4, Max Schnell. This time it was Grem’s turn to zap the racer.

    Down on the racecourse, plumes of smoke suddenly billowed from Number 4. The car swerved out of control and crashed into another racer, sending them both tumbling. The crowd gasped when another car—Shu Todoroki—spun out as his engine exploded in black smoke. Grem and Acer chuckled as they watched the car skid to the railing, taking two others with it. The race was becoming a monster pileup.
    Up ahead at the finish line, Lightning and Francesco were still battling it out for the win. They had no idea what was happening on the track behind them. Each was focused on winning!
    â€œKa-chow!” Lightning shouted as he narrowly crossed the finish line first. He was about to thoroughly enjoy beating Francesco when he saw the smoke rising from the multiple car wreck.
    â€œOh, no,” Lightning said to himself.
    It wasn’t long before Sir Miles Axlerod had to face the media. The reporters all demanded to know whether the last race, in London, would be run on Allinol. Was it causing the race cars to crash?
    Axlerod seemed completely defeated.
    â€œI cannot in good conscience risk the lives of any more race cars,” he told the anxious reporters. “The final race will not be run on Allinol.”
    Inside the casino, the Lemons were still cheering when Lightning suddenly appeared on the screen.
    The room went quiet as Lightning announced that he would still use Allinol in the last race.
    â€œMy friend Fillmore says the fuel’s safe,” he told reporters. “And that’s good enough for me.”
    Mater held his breath as he watched Lightning add: “I didn’t stand by a friend of mine recently. I’m not making the same mistake twice.”
    The sound of a ringing phone suddenly cut through the silent casino. Professor Z quickly answered it. It was the Big Boss.
    â€œYes, sir. Of course,” he said into the phone.
    He turned to the Lemons and announced what the Big Boss had said: “Allinol must be finished for good. Lightning McQueen cannot win the last race.” The Lemons had to stop Lightning.
    Mater’s eyes grew wide. Professor Z was going to ask Grem and Acer to take aim at Lightning next!
    â€œNo!” Mater said. He turned to leave and banged his hood on a chandelier. An electric jolt passed through him—just enough to cause his holographic disguise to disappear. The Lemons stared in shock as Mater turned into his rusty old tow truck self.
    â€œThe American spy!” Professor Z said. The Lemons immediately drew their
