Slipstream remembers why he became a criminal.
Synopsis
Though Slipstream is intent on taking on the Cyclones on his own, Jetstorm follows him and is soon discovered. Jetstorm pleads with Slipstream to let him go along on his dangerous mission, not understanding why his friend is so intent on taking on the Cyclones on his own. Slipstream explains that it was because of Cyclones that he once turned to a dishonorable life of crime... he was a mere child when a Cyclone left in him a void to be filled, by stealing his most precious possession... his first ball bearing.
