Hey, wait for me!

Watch your back, Robyn! I'm-a comin' through!

Eagle!

[coughs] Oh, man! Mars is one dusty planet!

Hey, I'm number one!

I'm number...two.

- [bell rings] - Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo! Eagle wins again!

Yay! Robyn comes in second!

Hawk takes third!

Awww!

You guys are so lucky.

You can visit Mars whenever you want.

One day you'll be able to do that too, Starling.

But even then, you'll never be as fast as me.

You never know, I may be.

Hey, I'll race you 'round that crater!

Oh, you're not up to that just yet!

Anyway, it's nearly time for class.

School's in, even on Mars!

And today's lesson is about...

All: Mars...Canyon...racing!

Best...field trip...ever!

[students chattering]

Ohh! Sorry I'm late!

Alright, settle down, Racers!

Now, as you know, you're here on our Mars Campus

to learn about Mars Canyon racing!

So, here with all you need to know about the "red planet"

is Headmaster Crane.

Thank you, Coach Pigeon,

and welcome, class, to Mars.

Fourth planet from the Sun in our Solar System.

Roughly half the size of Earth.

And home to the Valles Marineris,

the Grand Canyon of Mars.

That is correct, Cadet Raven.

Big canyon!

Now that's a long way down.

Indeed. It is the largest known canyon

in our entire Solar System.

The Mars Canyon Race takes place once every Martian year.

Isn't a Mars year almost two times as long as an Earth year?

Good memory, Hawk.

A year on Mars lasts for days.

Earth years are only days.

And now, let's check out some classic footage of the race.

Look! It's Swift Starlight!

Fastest Racer of all time.

The stakes are high,

so Mars Canyon Racers have to train hard.

Hey, Hawk! Ya see that?

I'm gonna do that next time I win!

Have you ever flown in the Mars Canyon Race,

Coach Pigeon?

Of course he has!

Ahh! Did you win?

Did you meet Swift Starlight?

Okay, okay, let's move on.

It's time to start your training!

The Mars Canyon Race Simulator, so you can practice.

Now, who wants to go first?

Oh! Me! Me! Me! Oh! I do! I do!

Alright, alright!

Uh, Robyn, and Hawk, and Eagle!

And we need one more...

Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me!

Coach: Raven!All: Ooohh!

Hey, Eagle, are you gonna pull a victory roll

if you win?

Whatta ya mean "if"? Ha-hah!

Yeah, we'll see about that.

[blows whistle]

[thump/boing]

This is tricky terrain!

Just be glad these simulated "Martian rocks"

are made of rubber!

Yee-haaa!

Time for a victory roll!

Huh?

[Finish signal beeps]

Congratulations, Raven.

Hey, you guys all made good time.

Eagle, what were you thinkin'?

That risky move cost you the race.

But it could've been worse.

A stunt like that in the real Valles Marineris

could land you in serious trouble.

Sorry, Coach.

Well, just make sure you all get some rest and refuel.

We race tomorrow!

I could've won that race. Ishould've won it.

Aw, it's okay, Eagle. You can't win 'em all.

C'mon and refuel.

If we raced in the real canyons of Mars,

I would definitely win.

You think so, huh?

I don't "think" so, I know it.

Then whatta ya say to a rematch tonight

in the real Valles Marineris?[gasps]

You're on, hotshot. Let's do it!

Meet me at the launch pad just before sundown.

Eagle, I'm not sure you should try to...

I'll be fine, Robyn!

Then at least refuel. You can't race on an empty t*nk.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

I'll refuel later.

- I figured you'd chicken out. - You kidding me?

I wouldn't miss this for all the dust on Mars.

- You sure you wanna do this? - Are you saying you don't?

Oh, I totally wanna do this.

Then let's go!

- Booster rockets! - Engaged!

- Wings! - Back!

- Space visors! - Down!

Space Racers ready!

.........

Go!

Uh-oh.

Whoa! There it is.

Valles Marineris. Looks awesome!

You ready to lose your first ever Mars Canyon Race?

Lose to you? Only in your dreams, dude!

Wow!

We're really here!

Yeah.

It's so...big!!

Whoooaa!

Yeah! And so....

Look out!

...rocky!

That was close!

This really is...dangerous!

Is this race too real for you, Eagle?

Hah-hah!

Go Raven!

- I'm number... - [crash]

Whoooaaa!!!!

Ha-ha! I'm winning!

Raven?

Raven!

Raven, where'd you go?

If this is some kind of joke, it's not funny!

Eagle: Oh, something's not right here.

Raven!

Eagle! Help!

He sounds far away.

Hang on, Raven!

I'm comin' down!

Oh man, this Martian canyon goes down for miles.

I wish I'd listened to Robyn and refueled.

[echoes] Raven!

- No need to shout. - Ahhh!

Raven! Don't creep up on me like that!

Are you okay?

Yeah. But I clipped my wing.

I don't think I can make it out of this trench.

And I'm almost out of fuel.

We better call for help.

Ava, get me Mission Control.

It's no use. I tried, too. Can't get online.

Must be the canyon walls blocking the signal.

Let me take a look at that wing.

Ohhhh!

Is it bad?

Uhhh...no.

[chuckles] No worries.

Coot'll patch you up, you'll be fine.

It's bad, isn't it?

Well...a little bit, yeah.

Sorry about this, Eagle.

It's not your fault.

We're stuck down here 'cause I was mad

that you beat me in the practice race.

Hah-hah. Yeah, I sure whipped your tail.

Hey, Raven, truce? Whatta ya say?

Truce.

I say truce.

No more arguing.

[fuel gauge beeping]

Aw, that's it, I'm all outta fuel.

I should've listened to Robyn.

How's anyone gonna find us now?

I don't know.

We might be down here together for, like, ever.

Oh, man.

- Starling: Hey, guys! - Ahhhh! Who's there?

Oh, hi! It's me, Starling!

How are you doing? Ooh! Who won the race?

It took me like a million years to find you guys.

Ooof! Raven! What happened to your wing? That looks nasty!

You followed us all the way outhere?

Yeah! But it took me a while to catch up! You guys are fast!

That's us. Fast.

Not so much now though, huh?

- You need me to go get help? - Yes, please!

Starling, you're the best. A great little Racer!

And I'll be an even better one when I'm bigger!

Yeah, I know you will.

And I'm gonna help you learn how, too...

take you under my wing, teach you all kinds of things!

Oh, yay!

I'll be back with help as fast as I can!

Eagle, are you okay?

Sure, I'm okay, but check out Raven!

No way!

Good job, Starling.

These boys would've been in big trouble without you.

Thanks, Coach!

Or should I say evenbiggertrouble!

Because all three of you are grounded

for leaving Mars Campus without permission!

No flying at all, todayortomorrow.

Awww, grounded... with Eagle?

We're sorry we left campus

and raced without asking for permission.

Yeah. Sorry, Coach.

Pretty cool race while it lasted, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

Don't forget who was in the lead when we stopped.

You mean when you crashed?

When you ran out of fuel!

Raven, if we weren't being towed away

I'd race you again right now!

I, I whipped your tail at practice!

- No, you didn't! - Nuh-uh!

I totally whipped you!
