Cody said they use it for throwing balls?

Why don't they just use their hands?

That's what I said!

Is it time yet?

That is the seventh time you have asked,

and the answer is the same. Heatwave will let us know

-when it's time. -Why are you so excited anyway?

It'll just be another training Sim.

Ugh, did you have to ask him that?

He's going to tell us about the leaderboard-- again!

-Check out the leaderboard! -Ugh...

[Hot sh*t] I'm in second place behind Blades!

-And he's only above me because-- -He's better than you?

He was one of the first to play.

But one more crushing sim-victory by me...

...and I'll be crowned King of the Rescue Bots!

You know there's no crown, right?

When you become king, will we have to bow?

He's not really becoming a king, Medix,

he's just excited.

Why shouldn't I be excited?

I've got this record on lock.

There is nothing I can't do right now.

Nothing? Hmm. That seems unlikely.

Could you hop on one finger?

Ha! Et voila!

Dude, you gotta do better than that.

[Heatwave] Students, make your way to Hero Hall

-for today's exercise. -All the way to the Hero Hall?

See you there, Your Royal Highness.

I'm confused. Is he a king or not?

Okay, you got this.

Good. Let's proceed.

Today's lesson is-- Wait, where's Hot sh*t?

He's... on his way, sir.

I told him to hop to it.

[Hot sh*t shouting] Nearly there!

[Hot sh*t grunting] Hang on!

Yes! I did it!

Nothing is impossible for King--

-[angry grumble] -Uh oh-- Whoa! [thud]

This is a serious lesson, Hot sh*t.

Totally. Just... Okay, okay, I'm-- I'm ready.

The lesson of today's exercise is:

"Fight the Battles You Can Win."

But how will we know which battles we can win

-and which we can't? -May we have more information?

That is all the information you need.

Prepare yourselves, recruits.

♪♪

[music builds]

Okay everyone, be ready for anything!

We are taking this sim down.

♪♪

Maybe there's a ferocious snow tiger or something

loose in the house that we need to capture?

Hmm. I see no tigers,

and those Sim people appear to pose no thr*at.

They do seem frightened though.

Don't worry, Sim people.

We'll protect you from... uh...

you know, whatever it is.

What is that?

[Wedge] It's ice.

Ice? Ha! Is that all?

At its present rate of movement, the ice will reach the house

-in less than one Earth minute! -So?

So I'm guessing it'll do a little damage.

It won't do a little damage,

it will destroy the house completely!

One Earth minute? No problem!

I'll stop this in one Earth second!

I got it. I got it.

I don't think he's got it.

[struggling] How am I doing?

It's really quite incredible.

You appear to be having no effect on the wave whatsoever.

Yeah. You go, King.

[straining] Okay, could do with a hand here.

[effort noises]

[Hoist] It's not working!

Uh...

Okay... little bit stuck.

Aaaaaagghh!

Oh no.

Aaaaagghhhhh!

I am afraid it would appear that we have failed.

Oh no, no no no no! No, not on my watch!

-I'm number one, I'm-- -[computer] Simulation Failed.

Okay, we're starting again from the beginning.

We can do this.

We just need to follow three clear steps.

One-- Planning.

Two-- Throw everything we've got at it.

Three-- Write my name at the top of the leader board! Okay?

-[all] Yes! -Great! So that's the plan.

Unless anyone wants to give us any clues?

-No clues! -Okay.

Reset the Sim and... Activate!

Medix, break the ice with your clamps.

Wedge, transform and clear Medix's broken ice away

with your bucket.

Whirl, use your rotors to try to blow the ice

-back out onto the lake. -On it!

Hoist, you're with me.

I'll use my sonic blasters to break up the ice,

-you drag it away. -Got it!

[Hot sh*t] Let's do this!

[effort noises]

It's still coming. Work faster!

♪♪

We can't clear it fast enough, we're running out of time!

We can still do this.

We're really sorry. We tried.

No! No way!

[computer] Simulation Failed.

There must be a way of stopping it!

What are we doing wrong?

Fight the battles you can win.

It would help if we knew what we were dealing with.

It seems to be a rare, but natural phenomenon that

-some humans call an "Ice Wave". -How does it work?

Severe cold cause the water to freeze,

while high winds blow the ice towards the land.

Okay, great. So, how do we stop it?

No one has ever stopped one.

We'll just have to be the first.

I am not giving up on being number one on that leaderboard!

-We're with you, Hot sh*t. -Restart the Sim.

If we can't stop it,

maybe we can divert it around the house.

[Hot sh*t] We need to create a wall.

I'm sorry, but I believe my calculations are % correct.

You cannot alter the course of the ice.

I don't know the meaning of "cannot".

It's a word used when one is unable to do a thing or task.

I don't the meaning of the word "unable" either.

Stand firm, everyone. Here it comes.

[Whirl] It's... not... working!

[computer] Simulation Failed.

Argh! Restart Sim!

If we can't push it around the house,

-maybe we can lift it over. -A ramp!

It won't work.

Oh, it really is unstoppable, isn't it.

Here we go! Brace yourselves!

[Impact groans]

[computer] Simulation Failed.

Let's try melting it.

Whirl, direct the heat.

It's working!

[computer] Simulation Failed.

Ugh! Okay computer, I get it!

-Go again! -Stop.

It's over, Hot sh*t.

There must be a way to stop it. There has to be.

Does there?

I don't get it, sir.

Have we misunderstood the exercise?

-You have not. -But if you're saying

the wave can't be stopped...

Then we shouldn't waste our time trying!

But there are people in the house.

Exactly. And that's the battle we can win! Right, sir?

Reset and activate.

So what's the answer, Hot sh*t?

We save the humans. They're what matters most.

And that's a battle we can win.

Well done, Recruit.

You're thinking like a Rescue Bot.

I can't believe this is all we can achieve in this exercise.

We couldn't stop the ice, but at least we rescued the people.

And learned a valuable lesson.

Sometimes the battle cannot be won.

And in those cases, a Rescue Bot's priority is to help

as many people as we can.

Does Hot sh*t now have the win that lifts his score

-above Blades? -Lift!

Medix, that's the answer!

The lesson is over, Hot sh*t.

Hot sh*t's right! We could use my winch!

And the rest of us could take the weight!

-It might just work! -Uh...

What might work?

Sir, I believe we would like another run at this mission.

But you have all learned the lesson.

And it's a great lesson sir, don't get me wrong.

But these Sim humans lost everything to the ice.

And I think we can do better than that.

This is an interesting solution.

Take it away!

I knew there was a way to save the house!

[effort grunts] Ugh, yes...

Very clever... now can you give us... a hand?

Ingenious.

No one ever thought of doing that before.

Maybe he deserves a crown after all.
