- Squads, in this exercise, you must eliminate your opponent

by using your bouncy balls to knock 'em to the ground

in a game I invented called...dodgeball.

- Isn't dodgeball already a game?

- Mine's better!

The Squad in first place after this competition

will receive...a brand-new invisibility shield!

- Where is it? - Hmm.

I don't know, it was-- it was here a second ago--

- [metallic clank] - [groans]

Yeap. There it is.

Watch this.

- [magic tinkling] - SIR GARETH: Look at it!

Well, I--I know you can't really look at it

because it's invisible,

but trust me, oh, it's pretty cool.

- [magic tinkling]

- If we had that shield, there'd be no stopping us

from winning every quest and becoming knights.

- And we could use it to turn invisible

when we want to pick a wedgie.

- We gotta win, bro.

- Sir Gareth, remind me

which Squad is currently in first place.

- That would be Phoenix Squad, I'm surprised you didn't know.

- Oh, I did, I just wanted Sage to hear it.

- Oh, I heard it, so hear this...

Probably not. Am I enjoying this? Heck, yes.

- Krakens are victorious. - Woo!

- Victory ha. Ha!

- Let's see who's in first place and will receive

the invisibility shield.

Ooh, it's a tie between Phoenix Squad and Kraken Squad.

But there is no tying on the battlefield,

which means there's no tying in Knight School.

To determine top Squad, we'll have a tie-breaker.

I'll just consult the teacher's handbook t--to--it's missing.

Fizz!

- Whatever you need, I got it.

- Do you have my handbook? - I don't got it.

- Someone must have stolen it.

- Don't look at me.

The only thing I've ever stolen from Sir Gareth

is this mini zen garden.

[whispers] It's so relaxing.

- I need that handbook,

it explains all the rules of Knight School,

including how to settle a tie.

- We could always settle this

with a good, old-fashioned sing-off.

- [clears throat] Better warm up first.

- No, I don't know what the tie-breaker is,

but it's definitely not that.

- I know, sir! I read the handbook

in your private bathroom one day.

- You have a private bathroom?

- Not important. Go on, Fizz.

- The book said tie-breakers are settled with a whip contest.

- Ah, yes, yes, that's right. [chuckles]

I need you to find that handbook.

- Whoa, it finally happened. I got my first quest.

- Sure, whatever gets those little legs running.

Sage, Ciara, since you are the top students,

you'll be representing your squads in the whip contest.

You'll have a week to train before facing off to see

who can hit more targets.

Good luck.

- We've gotta win that shield.

Any chance you've used a whip before?

- No, but hey! It kinda looks like a jump rope.

- Have you ever used a jump rope before?

- No.

- It's okay, I'll bet Sage

has never used a whip before, either.

- [whip slashing]

- Never mind.

- ♪ Eh, eh-hey

- CIARA: I'm a princess,

whose father won't let her become a knight.

Please let me go to Knight School, Daddy, please, please!

So I use a magic ring and secretly train as Ciara.

Yes!

- ARC: And I'm Arc.

A charming thief who has the same dream.

I'm destined to become a knight.

- CIARA: But people from outside the kingdom aren't allowed

at Knight School.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

- She must have stolen Sir Gareth's handbook

and found out about the tie-breaker rule.

She's been waiting for an opportunity to whip our butts.

Literally.

- Hey, fart-sniffers.

- Okay, we may be fart-sniffers, but at least we're not thieves.

- We know you stole Sir Gareth's handbook.

- It's why you know how to whip it. Whip it good.

- I didn't steal anything.

Besides, where's your proof?

- Our proof is your book-stealing face.

- Look, it's not my fault being awesome worked out for me.

Buttercup, let's go.

- [laughs] Burn!

- That's not how that works.

- So Sage has an unfair advantage.

I mean, for all we know,

you could be a natural with the whip.

- Yeah. Start with a big target, like...the candy cart.

- Your dad needs a new guard, we need to distract Sage.

If we make her the new guard,

she won't have any time to practice.

[gasps] I am good at math!

- It's not really math, but it's still impressive.

- Sage as a guard? It might be a hard sell.

You know, because Sage is so-- [gags]

- Yeah, but the Princess can get him to add anything.

Right, Princess?

last week. - Ah! Loved riding them.

a great royal guard.

Hey, guys.

I wanted to talk to you sooner, but Sage never leaves my side.

Sorry, I'm starting to think I'm not over the Princess.

- This stinks. If you can't practice,

we'll lose the tie-breaker and the invisibility shield.

- Unless you can use Sage to your advantage.

Maybe you can ask her to teach you some whip moves.

- Then, I can use those moves in the tie-breaker

to crush Captain Mean Face!

That's what I call Sage.

- Oh. - I see it.

- Clever. - She does have a mean face.

- Wait, isn't it wrong to steal Sage's moves?

when she stole that handbook.

We're allowed to be wrong back.
