The trophy for the Cloud Sprints Race,

I'm gonna make it mine, Robyn, today!

You've got to win it first, Hawk.

Are you kidding?

It's a straight sh*t up to the clouds.

Pure power.

This is my kinda race.

So then you probably wouldn't mind making

a practice run?

Okay! Raven? Robyn?

Let's do it! I'm up for any chance to prove I'm the best!

I've finished my practice run.

But I'd be glad to start you three hot dogs off.

Racers, on your marks,

get set... sour!

Uuugghh!

I can do this!

Maybe.

Oh, who am I kidding?

What happened up there, you two?

What?

Just saving myself for later.

Really, no kidding, I mean it.

Better hurry.

The race is this afternoon!

I'm not sure I have it in me

to b*at Eagle on any day.

Well, Eagle has won

the Cloud Sprints two years running.

Both: Thanks for reminding us!

But that does not mean

your engines can't compete with Eagle's!

Really?

Ava, can you compare Hawk's engine

to Eagle's engine, please?

Ava: Of course.

I have access to full mechanical details

of all racer engines.

Observe Eagle's "Superzoomer" engine

and Hawk's "Superblaster" engine supreme.

Raven also has the "Superblaster."

Each red bar is a reading of the engine at full power.

As you can see, the bars of color are the same height.

That means your engines have the same power as Eagle's engine.

Strange, then, that Eagle has beaten you

in the last two Cloud Sprints.

Well, at least I'm good at chess.

Ava: Eagle is also good at chess.

His winning percentage is ....

That's enough, Ava! Thank you.

I don't buy all this "equal engine power" techno talk.

If I'm as powerful as Eagle, I should win!

Um...

maybe our engines

don't use fuel the same way?

Maybe the regular fuel we all use

just works better for Eagle?

That's gotta be it.

It can't be our fault!

We need a fuel

that'll help our engines

reach their maximum speed!

So, you want me to create a new jet fuel, huh?

Yes, please.

A new fuel that helps Raven and me

get the most out of our engines.

An interesting idea.

Uh, we'll want to approach this scientifically.

Know why?

Tinkering with fuel is a risky business.

Long as it helps me win.

But is it fair for us

to have fuel that's better than everyone else's?

Good point, cadet.

So, we'll make the new fuel

available to everyone.

How's that?

Everyone in Cloud Sprints

should have the same chance to win as us.

Yay.

Awesome! Awesome!

This is where we'll experiment

with three different fuel mixtures

to see which is the most powerful

for your engines.

We can do test flights for each fuel!

Y'know, to see how fast we go with each one.

I'm likin' this.

I'm likin' this.

Ava can keep track of the results.

That is, if she's, uh, available to help.

Ava? Ava: I never shut down, Coot, so I am available.

But thank you for asking.

I will display the results

of your three fuel experiments on my screen.

Oooh, color bars like before!

Let's get busy!

First fuel we'll test is yellow.

It's the standard fuel we use every day

at Stardust Academy.

[slurping fuel]

This is gonna be great!

Ava: I am ready to keep track of the results.

Cool. In , , , blast off!

Whoo-hoooo!

Feelin' good!

Ava: Yellow fuel performs well.

Coot: Next fuel: green.

It's our basic fuel

with some spinach juice mixed in.

Ava: Green fuel appears to be less powerful.

Yeah, I'm feelin' a need for more speed, Coot.

Hold your horses there, spitfires.

We've got one more fuel to test.

Red fuel is made with highly combustible space beans.

My own special recipe. Heh-heh.

[beans combust]

Eh, watch out, racers,

this one packs a punch!

I'm sure we can handle it.

Whoo-hooooo!

That was awesome!That was awesome!

Ava: The red fuel bar is the highest.

This verifies that red is the most powerful fuel.

Yeah!

I'm feeling really good about this now.

We have a new fuel, Raven!

If I go for it, I can win this thing!

That's the spirit.

If ya believe in yourselves,

there's nothin' ya can't do.

Good luck, boys.

Hey, Raven, may the best racer win!

"May the best racer win"?

But you are the best racer...

aren't you?

Of course you're the best racer, Raven.Thanks.

But how can I be sure?

Whoever's in control of the new red fuel

will be in the best position to win!

Coot, I'd be happy to take the red fuel to the race...

so everyone can use it.

Heh, that's good, Raven.

But the red fuel t*nk was starting to shake.

I need to recheck some calculations.

Not sure this fuel is ready to use yet.

What?! I mean, you're the expert, but...

it's not shakin' now,

and uhm, it goes down easy.

[slurping fuel]

Well, maybe you're right.

[hiccups] Is that a winning fuel or what!

Guess I should bring it out to everyone.

Unless...

Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

Of course I am -- I'm you!

[snickers]

Hawk, how did that new fuel idea work out?

Great!

Hey, you guys should try it, too!

Really? Wow!

Raven: Helloooo!

Oh yeah, the red fuel is better.

Drink up!

Terrific! Great!

Thanks, Raven.

I've already filled up on the new red fuel, so...

See ya at the starting line!

[slurping fuel]

Raven: Too bad they won't actually

be using the red fuel.

[snickers]

Oh, I dunno, is this right?

Trust me. It's better this way.

Okay. You give such good advice.

And you're so good-looking!

So are you!

Racers, please take your places

for the start of the Cloud Sprints!

Go, go, go Space Racers.

C'mon, you can do this!

C'mon, you're prepared.

You've got the stuff!

On your marks, get set...

soar!

Make way, Racers.

[laughs] Victory is mine!

[releases tummy gas]Uh-oh!

[releases tummy gas]

Uuggghh, my tummy-tum-tum hurts.

Raven, go down now.

I can do this.

I can win this thing!

Woo-hooooo!!!

[crowd cheering]

♪ Do the Hawk Hop Oh yeah! ♪

♪ Don't stop! ♪

Maybe there was something in that red fuel,

but it didn't feel any different to me.

It didn't feel any different to me either.

It's no surprise you didn't feel any difference.

You raced on the same fuel as always...

good old yellow!

Huh?

Somehow the labels got switched.

But it's better you didn't use the new red.

It's definitely not flight-ready yet.

Raven: Um...[hiccup] ...I think I did.

[hiccup, hiccup, hiccup]

I used the red... [hiccup]...fuel.

Uuggh.

Oh dear.

Come on, Raven.

Let's get your engine cleaned out.

[hiccup, hiccup, hiccup, hiccup]

So, let me get this straight...

you won with the same fuel we all had?

Yeah, I guess I did!

That's awesome, Hawky.

What do ya think gave you the edge?

I guess it was...

the "Hawk Factor."

Ooh, the "Hawk Factor!" What's that?

"Believe in yourself and go for it %."

A truly valuable lesson worthy of a trophy!

To a confident Hawk,

this year's winner of the Cloud Sprints!

[all chanting] Hawk! Hawk! Hawk!

Hawk! Hawk! Hawk! Hawk!

Hawk! Hawk! Hawk! Hawk!

That's me!
