The sun shone high over Griffin Rock, an older gentleman happily trimmed an overgrown branch on his elephant shaped bush in front of his house. He stepped back to admire his work only for the sudden sound of whirling machinery to be heard behind him. The elder man turned to look over his shoulder only to cry out in fear. Barreling towards him was one of the island's many robo-landscapers, it's multiple spinning blades whirling menacingly. The elder man quickly moved out of the way as the robo-landscaper charged forward, proceeding to run over and destroy his beloved elephant bush. "You will be compensated for any damages, citizen." Chase said in his robotic voice, he and Chief Burns speeding past the man as they chased after the rogue machine with sirens blaring.

    The robo-landscaper burst through a brick wall and continued to barrel down the street with Chase and Chief Burns right on it's heels. .:Attention, rescue team. Robo-landscaper, out of control.:. Chief Burns reported through his com-link. Ahead of the pair the rogue robo-landscaper raised it's blades and sliced off the tops of a few lampposts, Chase swiftly swerving to avoid being hit by the falling lamps. Chief Burns grunted from the fast turns before speaking once again into his com-link. "Could use a hand here."

    .:Where you at, Burns family.:. Chief Burns questioned. "Uh, might be awhile, Dad." Cody answered. "Aren't rescue teams supposed to react a lot faster then this?" Robin questioned. "Yeah, but knowing Kade, Graham and Dani, it's going to take them a while to get used to working with aliens." Alice explained.

    "It's just too bizarre." Graham pondered in disbelief, he, Kade and Dani getting ready to head out. "They're alive, but we're supposed to ride inside of them?" "Don't be a wimp, Graham. They're just vehicles." Kade replied. "Hey, I can hear you, ya know." Heatwave spoke up, offended by Kade's comment. With that the Burns kids and their Rescue Bot partners set out to go and help their father.

    Up on the roof of the firehouse, Dani was, once again, fighting with Blades' controls. "Ugh! Hurry up, Blades! We have to go!" Dani said rudely. Blades soon lofted into the air and flew after the rest of his teammates.

    Tires screeched as the rogue robo-landscaper turned sharply down a narrow alley after it'd cut off another lamppost top. Chase turned sharply down the alley after the robo-landscaper only for him and Chief Burns to notice that the robo-landscaper had disappeared. They drove slowly down the alley, looking around cautiously before Chase spoke up. "No sign of the suspect. What now, sir?" The sound of whirling machinery cut off Chief Burns' reply. He looked through the window and over his shoulder to see the robo-landscaper barreling towards them, it's blades raised menacingly.

Under Pressure

    The rogue robo-landscaper charged menacingly at the pair as Chase quickly warned the Chief. "I advise you to hold on, sir." Chase proceeded to rev his engines and drove backwards towards the rogue machine. Seconds before they struck each other Chase transformed into his robot mode and backflipped through the air and over the robo-landscaper. The robo-landscaper paused briefly in it's charge only to begin backing up towards them. In response Chase leapt into the air and landed on the rear tires of the machine, the front flipping upwards for Chase to grab. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you." Chase resided as he struggled against the machine in an attempt to keep the blades away from his face. He proceeded to chuck the robo-landscaper into a nearby trash can, the sound of the machine finally shutting down being heard as smoke emitted from the can.
