Rush Zone S2 E22: "Drop Kick's Double Cross"

## Plot

At night, a Siphon BlitzBot attacks Pillage, the Raiders Rusher, who is guarding his team's megacore. Ricky shows up to help, but none of their attacks phase it. It escapes after taking the energy from the megacore. The others meet up with Ricky at the HoK after RZ contacts them. He tells them that this BlitzBot was different. He and the others will face each other the next day in football. Ricky's team is the Tigers. They're tied with eight seconds left. Ish says they're going to do a shotgun roll out. It's risky, but he says that's why they won't see it coming. These guys are only eleven, right? Shouldn't they consult their coach on this? Also, why is Ish calling the play if Tua's the captain now? Anyways, Ish fumbles the ball, and Ricky catches it. Tua fails to block him, and he scores a touchdown, winning the game. Ish says he should've had that catch. Ash tells him that they still played a good game. The Siphon BlitzBot returns to Drop Kick. Wildcard comes in and is totally exhausted. He told Drop Kick to get him the Raiders megacore. Drop Kick says that he was unsuccessful after a guardian showed up. Wildcard tells Drop Kick to get him the Raiders and the Chiefs megacores this time. The kids are at the bowling alley to celebrate the 75th season of Youth Tackle Football at Canton. Ricky is named Player of the Week. He invites the others over to his house to play video games. While playing against each other, Ish loses to Ricky. He says it was just luck, and Ish leaves to get ready for patrol. The others tell Ricky that Ish is a little jealous of him, because he can be really competitive sometimes. Ish heads to Oakland, California to guard the Raiders megacore. He and Pillage hear something from the visiting team area. Ish heads that way while Pillage checks on his team's megacore. Drop Kick is using two Drill BlitzBotz to try and steal the Chiefs megacore. However, the Siphon BlitzBot tells him that it's not there. He has to bring it back before Wildcard catches on. Ish overhears that last part and asks him what he's up to. Drop Kick orders the Drill BlitzBotz to attack, and Ish transforms. Before his energy is taken by the Siphon BlitzBot, the others show up and save him. They easily destroy the Drill BlitzBotz. Drop Kick and the Siphon bot escape thanks to the teleporter. Ish says he could've handled it himself. I doubt it, but the whole point of a team is that you don't have to. He's not alone. Ash says that it's not a competition, and they're all on the same team. He says that's only true most of the time. Before things escalate, Pillage tells them that there's an emergency. The megacore is still secure, but the team is acting like it was taken. They see Darren McFadden walk off. He's a running back for the Raiders. They follow him to a parking lot, where they lose sight of him. Jamaal Charles asks them if they've seen him anywhere. He's a running back for the Chiefs. Darren pulls up in a car. He and Jamaal made plans to have dinner together, and they invite the kids along too. Ish asks them why they'd want to hang out together, since they're on different teams. They tell him that yes, things can get heated on the field, but off it, they're just two guys who love football. That, and Darren's a pretty good cook. They're competitive with the other guys too, but it's because they're always pushing each other to do better. They can't let a little thing like that get in the way of their friendship. Ish says that they're a team, and friends. They leave when they get an urgent message from Arrow Head, the Chiefs Rusher. They transform again. The Siphon BlitzBot is draining the power of the Chiefs megacore, which was hidden in a pillar. It absorbs all of their attacks. It starts draining their energy too. Drop Kick shows up. Instead of finishing them off, he decides to leave them alive, so they'll be powerless to stop him from destroying the world. Plus he's sadistic and just finds it fun. It's a few minutes before kickoff. The people of Kansas City and Oakland are starting to feel the effects of their megacores being drained. RZ is monitoring the kids back at the HoK. Their Core levels are dangerously low. There's still enough energy to restore full power to one of them though. Ish volunteers, but the others don't want to send him out there alone. RZ says that he could calibrate their shields to a different frequency. Ash wonders how one guardian could possibly win, especially since the six of them together couldn't. Ish and Ricky decide to share the power. RZ has been working on a new scuba mode for them. They swim to Wildcard's base with the drained megacores. The Siphon BlitzBot returns to Drop Kick. He says that he finally has enough power to put his plan into action. Ricky and Ish show up. They destroy the machine holding the energy, which returns to them and the megacores. They use it to give them the power of all six guardians. They work together to destroy the BlitzBotz, including the Siphon one. Also, they have a freeze ray power. Wildcard shows up, and they escape. They return the megacores to Darren and Jamaal, and give the others their Core powers back. Similar to the Bulldogs versus Tigers game, it's tied 17-17 in the final moments of the fourth quarter. Drop Kick blames Wildcard for his plan failing, saying that he had the energy of two megacores. Wildcard realizes that he's been lying to him. Drop Kick thinks that Zimmer chose Warren over him. He says that he never stopped betraying Wildcard. He's been slowly siphoning his energy for months now. Wildcard reprogrammed him, but Zimmer gave him the ability to learn. He thinks for himself now.
