Race

**"Race"** is the tenth and last episode in the second season finale of *The Hollow,* and the 20th episode overall.

## Overview

It's a race to the finish as the friends try to outrun Team B. And when the final boss strikes, they'll have to work together to win.

## Plot

Adam, Kai, Mira, and Reeve fall through a portal land in the final level. They see a dust storm in the distance. Kai starts to call out to Vanessa, but Mira stops him, not wanting him to attract the game team's attention. Reeve suddenly spots an unknown building and starts running. The others follow.

They come across a black pyramid. Kai searches and finds a door with the same symbol as the key the game team took from Adam. Adam starts punching the door and Kai uses his powers on the door as well, but to no avail. Just as Adam gives up, the door slides open to reveal an elevator with a monkey attendant. The monkey asks if they're going down. Mira asks where the elevator takes them and he just says down. As they board the elevator, Kai faintly hears Vanessa's voice coming from the direction of the dust storm.

In the elevator, Weirdy talks to them over the speaker to tell them he's almost finished, but he needs a little more time. They need to make sure the other team doesn't end the game before he finishes. They can't win, but they also can't lose.

The elevator opens at a lobby. They question if the man at the counter is the boss character but doubt it. The group of four walk towards him. They talk to the man at the counter about a car rental. They answer some questions about their past quests and receive a key, which looks the same as the one he lost. Just as Adam picks it up, the game team bursts through the wall in their own vehicle. Nisha then backs up and takes off. The group climbs into their own car and set off.

They catch up to the game team and chase them. Nisha asks Tyler to use the unnamed weapon to get the others off their tail, but he put it in the trunk. Kai uses his fire powers to try to disable the car, but Tyler retaliates by sending a tornado, which blocks them. Iris then uses her prowers to become gigantic and kicks their car, flipping them over. As the game team takes off, Weirdy talks to them through the radio, telling them to hurry.

They climb out of the car and spot some goons on motorcycles in the distance, chasing the game team. They flip their car back over and realize they're also being chased by motorcycles. Mira knocks one off and takes the bike. She uses it to lead the final goon off a cliff, before being lifted back up by Reeve. The game team has also fought off their goons and is racing toward the lights in the distance.

The game team arrives at a trash heap. They look at their map, which shows that as the only thing left. They pull out the gun and get ready.

The group of four arrives shortly afterward. Adam tries to explain to them who they are, but Nisha refuses to listen. She pulls the weapon on them, but suddenly the pile starts to rumble. From the pile, Olym emerge. He's their boss battle. Nisha aims at him and fires, but misses. The game team then uses their combined powers to try to take him down while the others alternate between saving them from death and stopping their progress. When Iris falls off a cliff, Vanessa suddenly appears to catch her and place her back on solid ground.

Reunited with the team, Vanessa explains that she was trying to keep them out of the pyramid, but Tyler trapped her in the sand storm. Just then, Nisha fires the weapon again and hits Olym. They notice a spot on his back in the same shape as one end of the weapon before he stands back up again. Nisha goes to fire again, but Mira stops her and they fight over the weapon. The fight continues until Iris gets the weapon and puts it in Olym's back. Once it's in place, Olym shuts down. All the players run and hide behind a piece of metal Iris holds up to shield them before an explosion happens. After the blast clears, they all climb out. The game team notices a portal has opened in the distance and they start running toward it.

Reeve's leg is broken, so they think they've lost their chance to stop them from ending the game. Just then, Weirdy appears on a TV. He says he's ready, but they have to enter a portal. Reeve tells them to go without him, but Kai and Vanessa carry him as the others run toward it. They race toward their portal as the game team runs toward theirs. They end up entering the portals at the same time.

Kai wakes up and sees the donut shop sign. He thinks they're dead, but the others immediately say they aren't. They realize they made it back. This is their life now.

The group has gathered at Mira's for a cookout. Mira hugs one of her dads as the other hands out hamburgers. Vanessa suddenly remembers Skeet and Kai assures her that the real Skeet is out living his life with the rest of them. They toast to their lives, confusing Mira's dads.

In the distance, Louie slides through the hills.
