Olivia!
Cadet Park, return to base immediately.
Cadet Park, Hero Force
has not gone through the proper testing.
We don't know
if it can reach escape velocity.
I'm ordering you to...
Cadet Park?!
Not now, Dad.
Huh?
Whoa.
She made it!
Hero Force One is intact and stable, sir.
Ugh. Keep tracking her.
Let me know immediately
if you get her back.
We'll get you right, old friend.
You all right, captain?
Yeah, never better.
Chief Max, I need you to go
to the GDR Control Unit and get it online.
But, sir...
Chief Max, we can't risk any other
threats getting through the opening.
Repairing the GDR is critical.
More critical than helping Olivia?
She's up there alone because I'm not.
Engineering is already stretched thin.
Chief Max and I are the only ones
fixing Tombo, so I can go get her.
- Any word?
- She made it through the atmosphere.
Ava can do it.
She knows the GDR system just as well
as I do, maybe better.
I trust her.
- I won't let Sky Corps down, sir.
- Fine.
Stanford, go with Ava,
provide a security detail.
There still could be Shargs out there.
Keep alert,
and if you see anything, call for backup.
Yes, sir.
Maya, take the north end of campus,
Frank, take the south.
Set up a defensive perimeter
while Engineering gets some Robos back up.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Get to it. And, Cadets...
good luck.
Stanford.
Yeah, Ma?
Your responsibilities
go beyond just yourself now.
People are counting on you.
I'm counting on you.
Be safe, and keep an eye out
for your friend.
General, what can I do to help?
- You wanna help?
- I wanna help save lives.
Right now we have to fortify
the campus defenses.
Anything that doesn't require
using a Robo, you have my permission.
- When will they be ready?
- HF3 and HF4 are almost ready.
But HF2 is out of the fight for now.
I need every HF unit operational.
They'll be ready.
Huh?
Hero Force, initiate scan.
Hmm.
Durban's been secured.
Sir, no word from Cadet Park,
but she left the Global Defense Ring.
She's headed towards the Sharg ship.
Hail her again.
Holy smokes.
Oh my... Look at this mess.
How do I even start?
We can do this.
I got you. One step at a time.
Team, unload the fusion generators
and head into the station.
Look out for ionization
or radiant thermal pockets.
Tap into the main power supply,
get the system turned on,
and run a full diagnostic.
Nice!
Hmm.
- You... and you.
- Huh?
I need to get up there
to realign the tower.
You think Olivia is okay?
I don't know. I hope so.
How're you holding up?
Well, a few days ago
we were just trainees,
hoping to get Robos.
Now, we're the only two left
guarding Sky Corps
while the defense shield
that protects our planet has a huge hole
and our friend is in space
poking around a giant scary Sharg ship.
I guess I'm okay.
- Hey, Maya?
- Yeah.
I think I messed up... bad.
What do you mean?
That Sharg came out of my grid.
You know, when we were scanning the area,
I missed it.
Ah, man. That's not your fault.
We don't even know what we're up against.
Remember, this is some sort
of evolved new Sharg.
Yeah, but I keep thinking if I caught it,
maybe Tombo would be in one piece.
Huh?
Maybe Olivia wouldn't be
up there by herself.
Hey, get out of your head, Frank.
The only thing we can do
is learn from what's behind us
and use it to face what's ahead.
Yeah, but he did
order Veritas to be killed.
Maybe he felt
he didn't have a choice.
You always...
Thanks.
No problem.
You always have a choice.
And he chose to kill that Robo.
How would you feel
if they put Buddy down?
I mean, they tried.
I would never let
that happen to you, Buddy. I promise.
End of day, our choices have consequences.
General Park has to live
with the decisions he's made,
just like the rest of us.
Command.
Central Command. Do you copy?
Olivia! Are you okay?!
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm at the Sharg ship.
I'll connect my video feed.
All right, that's enough. Head back.
I'm a pilot.
This is my job, right?
Hurry.
It's almost complete.
Hmm.
The ship has an eye.
That's not a ship.
That entire thing is a Sharg!
Olivia, get out of there, now!
Okay.
We need to go help her.
Stand down. Remain at your posts.
Clark! Launch the HF units!
Yes, sir.
Those eggs will trail Hero Force One
through the opening in the GDR.
Every one of those eggs
is a gigantic Sharg.
We won't be able to stop them all.
Ava, how much longer on the GDR?
Power's up.
I just need to reinitiate the startup...
- How much time?
- Few minutes.
Yo, yo, dawgs!
Chief Clark told me to take your seat.
Look,
I don't have time for this.
I got saving-the-world business to get to.
Hey!
Secure Cadet Park and protect the gap
until we can get the GDR back up.
Will most def have Olivia back
in time for lunch, General P.
Bean burrito, bad idea! Whoa!
You've gotta be kidding me!
Sanchez, Olivetti, launch!
Yes, sir!
We won't let you down.
What about us, sir?
You're the last Robo we have here.
Stay with Ava until she has
the GDR running, then get back to campus.
Are there any more Robos to send?
No, sir. They're all either wounded
or still dealing with ground attacks.
Olivia, we're on our way!
I know, Buddy. I know.
What the...
The eggs are stealing energy
from HF1's core.
- How much longer before Robos get there?
- Thirty seconds!
General Park!
- Olivia, hang on.
- Please.
Dad.
Get her back!
Break right, Olivia.
The Robos made it!
Man, am I happy to see you guys.
No prob, Liv.
Got it!
Sir, the GDR is coming back online.
- Should I...
- Go!
Sir, they need to move faster.
The GDR is going to close
before they can get there!
Pick up the pace, Cadets.
The GDR is coming back online.
Hurry!
We won't make it!
Where did they go?
Whoa!
- How did you do that?
- Was that Buddy?
I... I think I'm starting to understand
what Buddy can do.
Thanks, guys. I thought I was toast.
Of course, we got ya.
Aiden, you did this!
Feel better?
Olivia was up there alone.
She could have died!
You don't think I know that?
You don't think I know what's at stake?
She's my daughter.
What do you think
is the entire point of Hero Force?
So we can stop sending kids off to die!
What do you know
about putting your life on the line?
Oh, of course. Nothing.
I was never a pilot.
I was never in the line of fire.
And you've always
looked down on me for that.
You might be good at killing Shargs,
but you could never do what I do.
I have to carry the weight
of the world on my shoulders!
And I know plenty about dying.
You are not the Aiden I knew as a kid.
And you are still the same naive boy
who thinks the world is a good place.
You are wrong.
What's it doing?
- It's coming right for us!
- The GDR will stop it.
The satellite!
It's going down again!
