In
depth: In a cave within the zone, a zoner reports that a new
zone virus is right on schedule to Overlord. Overlord calls
for a damage report from Reaper, who indicates that they've
lost the zone generator in Salt Lake City and orders them
to Carlsbad. Overlord is clearly frustrated.
Courage is congratulated on rolling back the zone once more.
He thinks it's odd that there were only two Black Widows to
guard a major installation. Dr. Laurence has noticed a lot
of activity near Carlsbad Caverns, and the Zone Riders are
to investigate. The Black Widows near the caves spot the Eagle
while on patrol. They roll out of the plane and into combat
with the Black Widows. Tank and Ben are near an entrance and
slip into the caves, but are seen and shot at. Ben is frightened
by the bats and swats them away.
Outside, the battle rages as the two sides fight hard. Tucker's
cycle is blown apart as he takes to the skies in his helipack,
saving two zoners. Kat blasts a Sledge Hammer with Razorback
in it and Ned attacks from the air. Tank and Ben, inside the
caves, are chased by Duchess Dire and Zoners. Tank uses his
bazooka to blow down rocks to cut off the Black Widows against
following them. Duchess begins to dig with snapper claws.
Outside, Tucker's backpack is hit (AGAIN) and he goes down.
Razorback needs more zoners to capture the Zone Riders, so
Overlord assigns them more zoners from Reaper and Crook. Tank
drags Ben deeper into the caves against Ben's whining. Overlord
hears reports from Crook, and will hold Razorback accountable
if the new zone virus is destroyed. As Ben and Tank are chased,
a cave in knocks Tank out as Ben falls off of a cliff, into
a pool of water. Tank gets up, looking for Ben, and uses his
bazooka to attack the Black Widows.
Outside, Courage's plan is to put two cycles on autopilot
and send them against the zoners. It brings down part of the
cave wall and makes the zoners retreat. Down below, Dire throws
a net to catch Tank, but he is too fast. He is caught in a
spotlight by zoners when the other Zone Riders ride in to
save him. Kat then calls Dirk to look at the vats, which contain
a new zone virus, which is permanent. Then, the Black Widows
regroup and attack as the Zone Riders seek cover. Intruder
appears in the cavern, attacking. Courage tells Ned to build
a bomb with Courage's backpack and one of Tank's Zone Blaster
shells. Ned encounters hundreds of bats, and blasts them to
see the way out.
Hiro determines if he can destroy Intruder's main cannons,
it will short out the plane's power system also. He hits it
and Intruder begins to go wildly out of control. Razorback
goes to Overlord to say its not his fault, but Overlord gathers
everyone together to fight, dealing with failure later. In
the caverns, Ben escapes with the aid of the bats, who swarm
the Black Widows, obscuring their vision as they run into
one another. The bomb Ned made cannot be stopped and they
have to escape - without Ben. Ben attacks Overlord hand to
hand out of nowhere, beating him senseless and stealing Bull
Whip. Overlord orders the Widows to attack. Out of the cave
rolls Ben in Bull Whip who decides to destroy the Zone Generator
while he's at it. They then lift off in Eagle as the virus
is destroyed by the bomb. An antidote is made thanks to Katerina
brining a sample back, and as Ben adds, thanks to the bats.
Items
Noticed: Ned must go through a copter pack a week in this
show!
Notes:
None.
What
do we learn? Ben fears bats and dark places, while Ned should
fear using the helipack more than he does now.
Goof
ups: Ned's camo pattern warps in odd ways throughout the caverns.
Quotable
Quotes: " Everything is out of control! Including all
my guns!" - Overlord, delivering an unintentionally hilarious
line.
"Hope
you weren't too worried." - Ben
"Worried? Me? Nein." - Tank
