in the training area.

Mason is sparring with McKayla, he holds boxing gauntlets in his hands while McKayla punches them.

"McKayla focus!" Mason says, McKayla punches his left hand with her right fist and his right hand with her left fist.

"I'm focused!" McKayla says, already panting "Okay then let's go one more time" Mason says, McKayla nods.

"Attack to the stomach..." Mason simulates punching her in the stomach and she defends "attack from behind.." Mason quickly moves behind her "Ahg!!" McKayla kicks his hand to defend herself.

"Dodge.." Mason simulates attacks from all directions and McKayla just deflects them "A trip..." Mason pretends to trip her, McKayla avoids it by doing a back somersault, she throws a punch and tries to trip him and he avoids it "Perfect!" Mason says.

McKayla turns her back to him "Surprise attack!" Mason comes at her from behind, she quickly turns around, dodging the first attack, responds with three strong punches and finishes with a kick. Knocking the boxing gauntlet out of Mason's hand and he loses his balance and falls to the ground.

McKayla gasps "Sorry dad" McKayla says "What are you talking about? that was amazing Princess!" Mason says getting up quickly, McKayla laughs "Okay, take the rest of the day to rest, you did great today" Mason hugs and kisses his daughter's head.

"Thank you dad" McKayla says taking a bottle of water, as the students begin to enter the training area. McKayla and Mason trained super early before student training began in the morning. This way they don't interfere with students' training.

"Okay then, I have work to do, See ya!" Mason says leaving. McKayla finishes drinking the bottle of water when Sebastian walks in.

"Hey Macky" Sebastian says "Hey Seb, what's up?" McKayla says "How was practice today?" Sebastian asks "Amazing, I made my dad fall to the ground. Yey!!" McKayla says with a small smile, Sebastian frowns in confusion.

McKayla shrugs "He's a strong guy, that was nothing" McKayla says, Sebastian laughs "You're really cute" Sebastian says, McKayla blushes slightly "Uh thanks" McKayla says softly.

McKayla puts the water bottle aside "Uh Mack I..." Sebastian says as Chase walks in "Chase!" McKayla says purposely loudly, interrupting Sebastian, McKayla goes to Chase.

Sebastian groans softly to himself, McKayla talks a little with Chase and Sebastian watches the two irritated.

A while later McKayla walks out and Chase goes into the middle of the students.


"All right, listen up, guys. We're introducing a new element to training... the bionic battle. Each week, two of you will be pitted against each other in a physical challenge." Chase explains.


"To the death?" Spin says "Yes, Big D built this multi-million-dollar facility to train and house you just so we could pick you off one by one." Leo says sarcastically.


"So each week's winner will earn points toward advancing to the next bionic skill level. And the loser gets...well, humiliated." Chase laughs


"Spin, since you're the youngest, you get to choose an opponent first." Bree says "Yes! Scared? Ya should be." Spin threatens students "No, no. This isn't about scaring people. No one's going to get hurt" Chase says, a basketball is thrown at Chase's back suddenly.


Chase and Bree walk into the common area to find Adam, Bob, and other students shooting hoops

"What are you doing?" Chase asks "We're throwing this thing at that thing. I'm an athlete." Bob smiles.


"Adam, you're a mentor now. You have to start acting like one." Bree says "I am. We're supposed to teach them how to use their abilities. So...we're havin' a bionic slam dunk contest." Adam says.

"Incoming!" Bob jumps to the basket with the ball and hangs up from the net "Bob, get down from there!" Bree says "Sorry, little lady. No can do." Bob says "Why not?' Bree asks "Because I'm afraid of heights!" Bob says scared.


"But you can levitate." Chase says "Oh, I'm good going up. It's the going down part that never ends well." Bob says "I'll have to use my molecular kinesis to get him down." Chase says "Or you could just use a ladder." Bree shrugs.


Chase walks up to Bob and he falls on top of Chase and the hoop falls on both of them.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Bob. That ended very well." Adam smiles.

in the training common area.

Donald is on the phone "Okay, Tasha. I... I got it honey. Okay, now you're just growling." Donald hangs up "Trouble in paradise?" Bree asks.


"I've just been so busy with the academy, I haven't been able to spend any time with Tasha." Donald says "And she's complaining about that?" Adam says.


"Hey, Mr. Davenport, why don't you go back to Mission Creek for a couple of days? We can handle things here." Chase says "Thanks, but there's too much going on here. Tasha will just have to wait." Donald says.

Leo walks in "Hey, Big D, what are you and Mom doing for your anniversary tonight?" Leo says, Donald chuckles "Anniversary." Donald says, he gasps loudly "I'll call you from the mainland!" Donald runs out of the room.

In the common area.

Bre and Chase are at a console when Adam, McKayla and Bob walk in.


"Hey, is Mr. Davenport gone yet?" Adam asks "Yep. The hydraloop just left." Chase says "Good, 'cause the party train just arrived." Adam and Bob do a chest bump and Bob is knocked to the floor.

McKayla frowns at them "Oh, sorry, dude." Adam helps Bob up "It's cool. I'm a beast!" Bob says "I see" McKayla says sarcastically and walks up to Chase and Bree.

Adam laughs "All right. Who's get ready to do some things we'll regret." Adam says, the students cheer "Adam! We're supposed to be responsible." Bree says.


"Look, we're supposed to teach them life lessons and today's life lesson is about doing things we can't do when Mr. Davenport is here. Right, Bob?" Adam says "Right." Bob says, Adam and Bob chest bump again and Bob is knocked to the floor.

"Aw they're soulmates" McKayla smiles, Chase rolls his eyes "Adam, Mr. Davenport left us in charge. We're not just goofing around." Chase says.

"All right, well, I'm in charge, too, and I say we are." Adam says and turns to Bob.

"Bob. These are the moments that define us. The moments that prove we are men. Now let's go have a belly flop contest!" Adam says the students cheer again.

"Adam, you're the best mentor ever. When I grow up, I want to be just like you." Bob says "Then who would I be?" Adam says reflectively.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

Later in the common area.

Chase, Bree, Sebastian and McKayla are at a table.

"Hey since Leo brought Janelle here. Is it okay if I bring Paige here for a few weeks?" McKayla asks, Chase sighs looking at a tablet "Like I told Leo, this isn't a vacation resort" Chase says, McKayla frowns.

"Well, but it wouldn't be fair McKayla lives here and isn't even a student. I think she should have contact with her life outside of here" Sebastian says, McKayla smiles "Thank you" McKayla says "I'll do anything to make you happy" Sebastian says softly, McKayla smiles and looks at Chase from the corner of her eyes.

"He's clearly bothered by this" McKayla thinks.

Chase frowns "Okay Fine!" Chase shouts, Bree frowns at him.

"Obviously you can invite Paige" Chase says, McKayla nods, Sebastian nudges her "that was all me" Sebastian whispers, McKayla laughs.

"Can't I throw him into the ocean?" Chase thinks angrily.

Adam walks in "Hey, has anyone seen Bob? Short, blonde, looks like a Bob." Adam says " I thought you were mentoring him in the fine art of belly flopping?" Bree says sarcastically.


"I was, but I haven't seen him since he took out that swordfish." Adam says "You lost him in the ocean?" Chase says alarmed "No, in the cafeteria. It's Seafood Sunday." Adam says, everyone sighs.

Sebastian puts his fingers on his temple and a beep is heard "That's strange. I'm not getting any trace of Bob on my bionic beacon." Sebastian da says.


"O-Okay calm down he can't be far away!" McKayla says "So what are we gonna do?" Bree says "I don't know. But I'm not about to lose a man on my watch." Chase says "Forget about the man on your watch. We have to find Bob!" Adam shouts desperately, Chase frowns.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the common area.


Sebastian and McKayla step out of the hydraloop as Adam walks in "Did you find Bob?" Sebastian asks "No, but I was thinking. What if we're the ones who are lost and Bob is looking for us?" Adam says "Uh...We would have to find Bob anyway" McKayla says "Good point, let's find Bob!" Adam says, McKayla nods, Chase and Bree walks up to them.

"This is getting weird. It is not like Bob to just disappear. And I should know, we've been best friends for two days." Adam says "I think you spent your whole life looking for each other" McKayla says sarcastically and puts her hand on his shoulder, Adam sighs movedly "She always gets me" Adam says pointing at McKayla.

A video call of Bob pops up on the screen "Hello? Is this Pizza Planet?" Bob asks "Bob?" Chase says "Oh, hey, guys. I must've dialed the wrong number. But while I got ya, wanna go halfsies on a peperoni?" Bob asks, apparently he's on a jet.


"Are you on a plane? Is that Mr. Davenport's jet?!" Chase says worried "I hope so. His picture's all over it." Bob shows Donald's photo on Jet's door "That reminds me I have some paintings in my room that I need to burn!" McKayla says in frustration.

"Mr Davenport has this strange need to put pictures of himself on everything!" She thinks.

"Bob, what made you think you could take Mr. Davenport's plane?" Bree says "'Cause Adam said we were supposed to do all the stuff we can't do when Mr. Davenport is there." Bob says, everyone looks indignantly at Adam "I did say that, but in my defense, I only meant to think it." Adam says.


"We know that's not true" McKayla says "Oh okay stop this it's getting annoying!" Adam says knowing she's right.

"I was going to surprise you with your favorite pizza from Mission Creek. So...surprise!" Bob smiles "Aw. Hey, when he gets back, act surprised." Adam says softly.


"How is he even flying that thing?" Bree asks "It's a self-flying jet. As long as he doesn't disengage the auto pilot, he'll be totally..." Chase explains "What does this button do?" Bob presses button and starts screaming.


"Wai...what just happened?" Bree says "He disengaged the auto pilot! The plane is in a freefall." Chase says worried, Adam chuckles "Classic Bob." Adam says.

"Guys, what are we going to do?!" McKayla says worried "Okay, Bob, I need you to rotate the stick to level out the plane." Chase tells Bob "Okay." Bob says scared.

"Now I want you to reactivate the auto pilot by pushing the two red buttons on the panel next to you." Chase says "I don't see any red buttons. Only green ones." Bob says.


Chase frowns "Green? There are no green buttons." Chase says "Would now be a bad time to tell you Bob is color-blind?" Sebastian says "Oops" McKayla presses her lips.

Chase turns to Adam "This is all your fault!" Chase says "How is it my fault Bob's color-blind?" Adam asks "This is what happens when you're not a responsible mentor." Chase says angryly.

"I'm very responsible." Adam says, He and Chase start arguing indistinctively "Guys! Stop fighting! We have to figure out a plan to save Bob before it's too late. He's our responsibility." Bree says.

"Time is passing, we need to do something from here!" McKayla says "Maybe I can hack into Mr. Davenport's mainframe and try to override the auto pilot from here." Sebastian suggests.

"Finally an idea!" McKayla says, Sebastian smiles at her "Well, technically it was your idea. You are very smart, this only makes you more beautiful" Sebastian says flirty, McKayla puts her hair behind her ear shyly.

"Great. Now we're dealing with two disasters." Chase rolls his eyes.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the common area.

Chase and Sebastian mess with the console "Hang on, Bob. We're trying to reactivate the auto pilot from here." Chase says "The altitude thing is flashing "danger." What does that mean?" Bob asks "It means you're in danger!" Bree shouts.


"Are we talking good danger or bad danger?" Bob asks "We're talking dangerous danger Bob!!" McKayla shouts.

"Guys, we're running out of time." Adam says "Don't worry. I hacked into the jet." Sebastian leans over to McKayla "All I have to do is press this button, the auto pilot will be back up in no time." Sebastian presses button while staring at McKayla and the video call with Bob is disconnected.


"Sebastian?" McKayla points to the screen "Uh, where did he go?" Bree asks "Oh, no! I must've hit the wrong button." Sebastian says "Maybe because you're staring at my-m-McKayla!" Chase stammers, McKayla frowns "It was close. think before you speak!" Chase thinks.

"You just disabled communications with the jet." Chase says, Adam chuckles"Classic Sebastian." Adam says. A video call with Donald pops up on the screen.

"Bob, what happened? You look awful." Adam says, Donald frowns, Chase hits Adam "Uh, hey there, Mr. Davenport." Chase says "Any kids missing yet?" Donald says, the five of them look at each other "I'm kidding." Donald approaches the screen.

Adam. Bree, Chase, McKayla and Sebastian start laughing nervously "Oh, this one with the jokes." Bree laughs nervously "Always so funny. Missing kids, what an absurd thing" McKayla laughs nervously "you're exaggerating" Sebastian says discreetly with his teeth clenched, McKayla presses her lips together to stay quiet

"Look, I just wanted to check in and make sure everything is running smoothly. It is running smoothly, isn't it?" Donald tries to look around through the screen "Yep, real smooth. Uh, hope your anniversary's going well." Chase says.

"It's great. I just made this rosemary chicken...""Yeah, yeah, yeah, chicken. Have a nice dinner." Chase hangs up.

They refocus on saving Bob.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

On the jet.

"Okay. Happy thoughts. Puppies and kittens. Puppies and kittens." Bob says with his eyes closed trying to stay calm, a knock is heard from outside of the cockpit.

"Oh, I hope that's the flight attendant with my peanuts." Bob says, Adam opens the door and walks into the cockpit "Hey, Bob." Adam says.

"Adam? How did you get here?" Bob asks "Oh, I used Mr. Davenport's jet wing to fly up here and then I heat visioned a hole through the cargo area." Adam says.

"Cool. Where's the jet wing?" Bob asks "Oh, it wouldn't fit through the hole, so I ditched it and sent it plummeting to the ground." Adam smiles "That's what I would've done." Bob says .

"Hey, Bob, got a question for you." Adam says "Yeah." Bob says, Adam shakes him "What were you thinking taking this plane?" Adam shouts.

"I thought you'd think I was cool." Bob says "Ahh! I do." Adam smiles.

"Oh, Bob, I can't stay mad at you. Let's land this thing and call it a day." Adam sits in the copilot seat.

"All right, Chase said a red button, red button." Adam presses a button and the plane starts falling again "Wrong button, wrong button." Adam screams.


"What are we gonna do?" Bob asks "Ah, we're goin' down, we gotta jump." Adam says "No, we don't." Bob says "Yes, we do." Adam says "No, we don't." Bob says "Yes, we do." Adam says.


"But I'm afraid of heights." Bob says scared, Adam puts his hand on his shoulder "Don't worry, Bob. I'll get you through it. This is nothing." Adam says.

"And when it's over, we'll laugh about it.... If we survive." Adam says, Bob starts screaming again.

...

Adam and Bob are standing in an open doorway to the outside of the jet.


"Here, hold my parachute while I adjust yours." Adam adjusts Bob's parachute "Trust me, Bob. You can do this. You just gotta believe in yourself." Adam says.

"You're right. I can do this. I can do this. I can't do this." Bob says "You can do this. In the past 24 hours, you face planted off a basketball rim, and belly flopped onto a jagged coral reef. Bob, you're a beast." Adam says "You're right. I'm a beast!" Bob says confidently.

"You can do this!" Adam motivates him "I can do this!" Bob jumps off the jet screaming, while still holding Adam's parachute.

"That's the spirit." Adam says and looks at himself "Hey! You took my parachute. Wait up!" Adam jumps off jet.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the living room of the Davenport house.


Donald is setting the table for his anniversary dinner with Tasha, Donald calls her up the stairs "asha, dinner's ready!" Donald says.


Suddenly. Adam crashes through the roof and breaks the glass dining table.

"Ah! Adam?!" Donald says "Whoo-hoo! I'm alive!" Adam gets up "Not for long!!" Donald shouts angrily.


"Look at below!" Bob lands softly in the room, hanging from his parachute "Bob?!" Donald says "Oh. Hey, Mr. Davenport." Bob saya.


"Is that rosemary chicken?" Bob asks "It was!" Donald shouts angrily.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the common area.

Donald reunited Adam, Bree and Chase after the incident with Bob who was just watching "I am never leaving you guys in charge again." Donald says.


"Mr. Davenport, it's not their fault. It's mine. I was goofin' off, and the students thought it was okay to goof off, too. I...I should've been a better mentor." Adam says.


"Actually, Adam was a good mentor." Bob says "He was?" Donald asks "He was?" Chase asks "I was?" Adam asks.


"Yeah. When I was up in the jet, I didn't wanna jump, but Adam boosted my confidence, and helped me conquer my fear of heights." Bob says "Wow. I'm impressed, Adam." Donald says "Never thought I'd here those three words together." Bree says sarcastically.


"What I don't understand is why you had to jump in the first place." Donald says "Hmm?" Adam says "It's a smart plane. Even without the auto pilot, it has an emergency homing beacon that allows it to land automatically."Donald explains.


"So we jumped for nothing?" Bob looks at Adam indignantly.


"Wait. Does you jet wing land itself too?" Adam asks "No." Donald says through gritted teeth "No." Bob starts laughing "Classic Adam" Bob says.

Chase frowns and they leave, Chase hears something in the training area. He spots McKayla and Sebastian training together.

"Woah, you didn't lie you're really doing well at this" Sebastian tells her impressed "Do you think I can beat a bionic guy like you?" McKayla asks "Let's find out!" Sebastian gets ready and they start to fight.

Chase swallows hard watching the two, McKayla laughs gently at Sebastian and that triggers a bitter feeling of jealousy that Chase had never felt before.

The worst part is that she seemed happy, Chase sighs "I miss her" he thinks and leaves.
