Rush Zone S2 E7 "Gridiron Ringers"

## Plot

A distracted guard accidentally lets Drop Kick into Soldier Field, home of the Bears. Drop Kick releases hundreds (or thousands) of Nano BlitzBotz into the stadium. He gets impatient at an expressway and leaves via hover vehicle. On the field, Tua catches Ash's throws. Ash suggests that he talk to coach about playing tight end, but Tua thinks he isn't agile enough. Ash decides to take him to ballet classes to improve his agility. Wildcard yells at Drop Kick for leaving via flying, saying that the Guardians could've noticed it, and he will not let his plans be jeopardized. Luckily, this time he wants them to know where his next attack is. At the HoK, Ish and Tua head to Chicago. The Bears are Tua's favorite team. Troy and Ash will stay behind to help RZ scan for anymore strange activity. In the water, Drop Kick and Wildcard are in their new mobile lab/submarine, called the EEL for short. Electronic Exploratory Laboratory. Ish and Tua don't know exactly where the bot activity is coming from, so they split up to cover more ground. Tua spots the Nano BlitzBotz. He throws footballs at them. It appears to work, but then they merge together to create one GIANT BlitzBot. Tua runs. He tries transforming, but it doesn't work. Ish saves him (again). The big BlitzBot breaks up into lots of Nano BlitzBotz again. Then it transforms into TWO giant BlitzBotz instead. Ish breaks them up again. This time it works. RZ fixes the voice recognition chip for Tua's NFL-R. Now he can transform. Troy and Ash have gone to downtown Chicago. They spot some BlitzBotz on top of a building. "Enter the Rush Zone!" Tua and Ish come too. Tua saves Troy just as he starts to fall. That was way too close. Tua and Ish have to return to Soldier Field, and Ash and Troy go back to the HoK. The EEL is just outside Chicago, in what I presume is Lake Michigan. It releases what must be *thousands* of Nano BlitzBotz. The Bears Rusher introduces Ish and Tua to Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent. Richard gives Tua some advice. He's also wearing his Super Bowl ring. Ish and Tua fight off the Nano BlitzBotz. They transform into a GIGANTIC BlitzBot. It steals the Bears and Vikings' Megacores. Tua meets Coach Mike Ditka, coach of the Bears. He's one of only *two* people in NFL history to win Super Bowls as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. That's amazing. Wildcard activates a magnet that forms a barrier around the stadium. When they cross the barrier, both Ish and the bot stop. The force field is trapping/destroying anything made of metal. Sure enough, the bot falls apart, dropping the Megacores. Wildcard goes to retrieve them... except his exosuit is made of metal. If he crosses the barrier, he'll get stuck too. Someone didn't really think this through. Mike and Richard use their Super Bowl rings, and it (somehow) disrupts the force field. Tua is able to get the Megacores back. Wildcard can't go back for them because his energy levels are critically low. Ish gives Tua his shield coin afterwards. During their game, Ash convinces Ish to let Tua play tight end. Tua is able to catch the ball and scores a touchdown. Tua admits that he's been taking dance lessons with Ash to improve his agility.

## Review

A good episode. It was Tua's quick thinking that saved the day. He definitely earned his shield coin.
