While Red and Silver were rolling down the ice track, Leonard and the pigs pulled themselves up to the giant ice lever they needed to pull.
“Okay, now what?" Courtney panted as she and Leonard climbed up to the ledge.
Garry knew what to do. “If my calculations are correct, we should be tall enough to reach that lever if all three of us-"
He was cut off when a giant lava ball ran him over and off the track!
“Garry?" Leonard panicked. He and Courtney looked over the track and noticed his skater outfit snagged on something and he was hanging from it. “Uh, hang in there!"
Suddenly, they noticed a lava ball rolling toward them. They ran back to the other side and avoided getting hit. They looked back up to the lever, worried now that they were one piggy short.
“Okay, new plan."

“We need to get to sixty-five miles per hour," Silver explained to Red, and they ran faster. “Left! Right! Left! Right!"
“Hey, at least we're gonna get all our steps in today!" Red laughed nervously.
“Two minutes to launch."
Red and Silver refused to give up. They were running as fast as they could as the ice ball spun down the track.
“We gotta break the superweapon!" Red shouted.
Silver switched on her watch. “Leonard, is the ramp elevated?"
“We're working on it," he replied as he and Courtney tried climbing up to the lever. But they slipped on the ice and fell back down to the track. “What are we gonna do?!"
Courtney noticed her bright pink headphones fell off her head and measured the wire.
“Okay, let's just figure this out," Leonard said to himself, trying not to panic.
“I have an idea!" Courtney said.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, now's not the time, Courtney," Leonard interrupted, not paying attention. “I'm just trying to figure out how we're gonna get to that lever."
While the king pig was distracted, Courtney threw her headphones up and had the cord wrapped around the lever.
“Hey, Leonard!" Courtney said, pointing at the lever.
“Huh? Oh! That could work!"
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Silver and Red were getting closer and closer to the launch point, but they still weren't going fast enough.
“Silver! How are we doing on speed?!" Red asked frantically.
“We're maxing out at fifty-nine miles per hour," she explained. “We need to get to sixty-five!"
Leonard finally got to the lever, but he still had trouble raising the ramp.
