Rush Zone S2 E19 "BlitzBotz, Bills and Bucs"

## Plot

Late at night, a man with a flashlight is walking his dog, Sparky. Winged creatures fly right above them, and Sparky chases after them. They look like new BlitzBotz, and start firing lasers at what looks like a city. Before the man can call the sheriff, Drop Kick knocks him and his dog out with the sleep ray. It turns out that the city is Canton. The robots are blasting high frequencies at the Safezone force field, and a breach is imminent. Wildcard is planning to attack the HoK again. At Ish's house, the guys are playing video games. Mrs. Taylor comes in, and is having trouble carrying all the groceries. She calls for Ish to come help her. Tua offers to help, but she says that her son can help. He says that he will, after he finishes the game. Tua helps her, and she thanks him. The house is a mess, and she's mad at Ish. Before she can yell at him more, the guys are called to the HoK. She says that when Ish gets back, he has to clean the house. He tries to protest, but she demands that he clean it up before he goes to bed that night. The guys arrive at the HoK. Ash is already there. It's the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement weekend, which means that the place will be busy. There's also the Hall of Fame game. The Tampa Bay Bucs will play the Buffalo Bills right here in Canton. All of the excitement will make the megacores stronger, which will make them a bigger target for Wildcard. The man that Drop Kick knocked out at the beginning of the episode has gone missing. He's a farmer who lives near the edge of the Safezone. Flying BlitzBotz were spotted in the area before he disappeared. They have to investigate, and are given new coins that give their suits a jet pack app, like Ricky's old one. RZ wants them to transform and head out immediately. They find the dog, who leads them to his sleeping owner. They're attacked by the new flying BlitzBotz. They're silent, which is why they're so hard to track. The kids destroy all but one of them. Ish thought he took care of the last one, but it's still active, and flies in through a hole in the Safezone. It's called a Bat BlitzBot. The farmer and his dog are okay. Wildcard orders Drop Kick to bring him the one person with the key to his ultimate prize. It turns out to be Shandra, Ish's mom. Back at home, Ish and his mom are fighting. He didn't clean up. He says that it's not like she was on important Guardian business. She asks him if he knows what she *was* doing, and he can't answer. She says that it doesn't matter. She asked for help, and that's all that matters. She takes some stuff out to the car, and expects him to be busy cleaning when she gets back. However, she's kidnapped by the BlitzBot. Ish goes outside and sees her stuff on the ground. He finds a drawing of the new flight app. He tells RZ what happened and runs to the HoK. RZ has access to security camera footage from Shandra's car. He says that Wildcard must have discovered the nature of her true role here. He asks Ish if he knows what his mom does here. Yes, she's a tour guide, and she helps out with special exhibits, but she's also in charge of strategic research at the Hall of Knowledge. She's a scientist, and she created the design for the new jet pack app. Ish had no idea. Shandra is taken to Wildcard's underwater base. He wants to know what's under the HoK. She pretends not to know anything and gives snarky answers to his questions. He says that he has two megacores, and he'll use them against Canton if she doesn't cooperate. She helped develop the security system that protects the HoK, and he wants to know how to deactivate it. She kicks him and runs away. He orders Drop Kick to get her back and put her on the EEL. Drop Kick finds her, and she overheard him talking about getting revenge against Wildcard. Ish is trying to reach his dad, but he isn't answering. I mean, he was just shipped out again in the previous episode. He's on a military mission, and isn't allowed to respond. Ish knows this, but his dad told him to be the man of the house and take care of things while he was gone. However, he thinks he's done nothing but mess everything up. The others show up, and assure him that they'll get his mom back. They still need to fine tune the plan to rescue her. Until then, the kids have to continue with their other Guardian duties, like escorting the teams into Canton. Ish wants to stay, but RZ says they need him in the field, and promises to notify him when they find out his mom's location. He, Tua, and Troy will escort the Bills. Ash, Ricky, and Marty will handle the Bucs. Ish, Troy, and Tua meet Stevie Johnson, the wide receiver for the Bills. Ricky, Ash, and Marty arrive at the airport where the Bucs were, but don't see them or the bus anywhere. RZ says that they arrived 16 minutes ago and boarded the bus. They have to find the team. Wildcard is driving the bus. The Rusher asks questions, which causes Wildcard to get rid of the disguise. He uses a Sonic Sleep ray on everyone. Ricky, Ash, and Marty find the bus, which is surrounded by more Bat BlitzBotz. They're shot down, but Ricky reactivates his jet pack to save Ash and Marty. They shoot down the BlitzBotz and call the others for backup. Wildcard stops the bus at the edge of the Safezone, with the kids on the other side. Gridiron BlitzBotz come out of the bus. Ish asks what Wildcard did to the Bucs and his mom. He says that he'll release them, but only if they lower the Safezone and let his bots compete in the Hall of Fame game. Ish doesn't want to do it, but RZ tells him that they've got no choice. Shandra is in the EEL with Drop Kick, and is using a bracelet with a laser to cut through her restraints. She thinks that Drop Kick is more human than he lets on, and can tell that Wildcard doesn't appreciate him. She knows that Dr. Zimmer created him. He's an A.I., so he can learn and develop emotions. He's more than just a robot. He accidentally reveals that the megacores are on board. Once Shandra frees herself, she presses a button on her bracelet, and pretends that she's still tied up. RZ tells Ish that she activated her tracking signal. The EEL is in the old Ohio Canal. RZ gives Ish permission to go, but advises him to be cautious. The others will watch over the game in case something happens. The Bills were given special Guardian-like armor to protect them from the Gridiron BlitzBotz. The other kids will play too. Their armor was given special enhancements that turn it red. Jim Kelly was a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but even during the time when this show originally aired, he was retired. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002. His jersey number, 12, was the first number ever retired by the Bills. This seems like a pretty good reason to come out of retirement. The EEL uses a satellite to launch a red beam into space. It bounces off a space satellite, and forms a red force field around the HoK. RZ can't contact the kids. Ish attacks the EEL and fights Drop Kick. Shandra messes with the satellite dish. She redirects the beam for the EEL. Ish defeats Drop Kick, who retreats. Shandra and Ish reunite and get the megacores back. The ray destroys the EEL. The BlitzBotz are destroyed now that the HoK and the Safezone are restored. The kids try to catch Wildcard, but he escapes. The Bucs get to the field, and are ready to play. Ish asks his mom how she knew he'd get there in time to reset the laser. She knew she could count on him. He apologizes for taking her for granted, and promises to never do it again. Matt finally calls back, and they tell him that everything's great.
