## Synopsis

*Meet the Go Jetters, four explorers on a global adventure! Can the Go Jetters rescue the ancient city of Petra when Glitch causes an earthquake?*

*Grandmaster Glitch goes on a desert adventure to uncover a mysterious lost city. If only it hadn't already been discovered! As Glitch attempts to beat a group of tourists to Petra in Jordan, he crashes his Grimbler in the Siq gorge. Vibrations from the Grimblers engines shake the surrounding area, causing the treasury building to shake apart. Can the Go Jetters save the ancient city?*

## Plot

The episode starts with Grandmaster Glitch reading a comic about an explorer called Dereck of the Desert. Glitch starts to wish that he could have thrilling adventures and discover ancient artifacts as well, so he commands his grimbots to find something big and lost for him to explore.

Meanwhile, the Go Jetters are at the Rose Red City of Petra, that is also known as The Lost City. With Kyan asking how does one lose something that big (a quote that the other Go Jetters giggle at) Ubercorn takes the opportunity to share some funky facts. One of the fact is how fragile Petra is, which Kyan shows when he pumps onto a pillar, causing it to crumble a bit, which Xuli scolds him for. Xuli then request for the Go Jetters to go in, carefully (alluding to Kyan).

On the other hand, Glitch is in a desert, riding a camel and looking for treasure. Glitch disrespectfully yells at his camel to go faster, to which it responds by going to fast for his liking and send him flying into the sand. So with no camel, Glitch turns to the grimbler to go through the gorge to Petra. One of his Grimbots tell him to go slow, but Glitch unsurprisingly ignores and jams his grimbler into something.

The Go Jetter are looking through the stone interior of Petra, and are mesmerised by it. But just then, Petra begins to shake while not reading as a natural earthquake, according to Foz. The Go Jetters soon hear an engine, and it turns out it's the the glitch in the grimbler, attempting to break free from the gorge it stuck in. With Ubercorn informing the Go Jetters about the incident, Kyan and Foz leap into action by preventing Petra's downfall, while Xuli and Lars head to the vroomster.

As the vroomster gets to the grimbler, Xuli does some flying trick shots through the stone gorge. Lars and Xuli get to the grimbler and command Glitch to shut the engine down. Glitch obviously refuses to listen, but it doesn't matter cause Xuli in the vroomster grabs the grimbler with it's claw and attempts to pull it out. However, the vroomster pulling on the grimbler makes the shaking in Petra worse, and Glitch's try on freeing leads to the grimbler's buttons to break. The buttons breaking inspires Lars to take it apart using G.O Fix, as Xuli protects the tourists and them with G.O Shield. Foz uses his G.O Giant to keep the pillars in place with Kyan using G.O Board to prevent falling objects faster. Lars finally finishes taking apart the grimbler and stops the shaking once and for all. The day is saved!

Glitch leaves in frustration and once again yells at his camel rudely, with the camel running fast to his display. The Go Jetter continue to be mesmerized by Petra's beauty before they take a souvenir selfie to remember this moment.

## Funky Facts

* The ancient city's name, Petra, means 'rock', because it was carved into the soft rock of the mountains over 2000 years ago.
* Petra is made up of many different buildings, and the most famous one is the treasury called Al-Khazneh. You reach the city through the Siq gorge, a small gap leading to a big place.
* The soft pink sandstone that this awesome city is carved from means Petra's fragile and easily damaged.
