Plot[]
In Hell, Vince is hosting gladitorial games in his Coliseum, feeding various people to creatures. Silver Blue is among the potential victims, hiding from the attacks. Vince's guards bring Fnar to him, claiming his a spy. Vince, in a jovial mood, says that he's instead an ambassador of Jack. Hosting the child, he asks what the boy would want. Fnar thinks Silver Blue is pretty, and Vince offers to give her to Fnar if he wins a contest.
Fnar agrees, and enters a race riding a lizard-like mount whom he affectionally nicknames "Sparky." While racing, another lizard mount mocks "Sparky" telling him not to come in dead last. Fnar takes that comment personally and throws a rock at the rival mount, labeling him "Doodiehead."
Sparky takes Fnar on the shortcut, running through the grandstands of the Coliseum and terrifying the crowd. Two other mounts join them on the shortcut. Meanwhile, "Doodiehead" bucks his rider and decides to finish the race himself.
Leaping from the roof of the Coliseum, Fnar and Sparky land on a giant statue in the center of the arena. Fnar spots "Doodiehead" below, and "Sparky" decides to jump down from the statue and land on top of him, presumably killing him. With Sparky too injured to continue, Fnar, simply dismounts and walks over the finish line, winning the race. Vince is surprised Fnar won, but he keeps his word and allows him to do anything he wants with Silver Blue. Being an innocent kid, Fnar has no idea what to do with her, so she simply leaves.
Vince claims to be honorbound to do any game Fnar wants to play. Fnar pokes him and says "Tag!"
