	Back at base, Heatwave chews out Blades for panicking, but [[Charlie Burns\|Chief Burns]] says the important part of fear is overcoming it. Once again stuck inside, Cody tries to get the Bots playing a board game, only for most of them to have other things to do. Blades is keen to try some computer games, but the only one Cody hasn't beaten is a new virtual reality game at the [[Hall of Inspiration]]. The pair head there using the tunnels and start setting up the game. Once they're in the two VR chambers, the game starts up, though Blades finds this new VR world hard to get used to — He can't transform and he's a lot shorter than in reality. The floating [[CAT]] welcomes them to ''[[Griffin Rock Element Quest]] 1.0'' and instructs them they have to find three flags.

	As level 1 starts, Blades and Cody materialize on a boat surrounded by sharks, though as Cody demonstrates, getting eaten by a shark just means they have to restart. They start driving the boat and Cody uses an invincibility power-up to avoid some barrels. Blades grabs a power-up that gives him a blow-drier arm, allowing him to deflect the barrels, and they soon spot the level boss — a giant barrel-throwing squid. Once Cody spots its weak point, Blades uses a barrel to knock it out, and they grab the flag.

	The Chief and [[Chase (RB)\|Chase]] reach the Hall, but are unable to open the VR chambers, and [[Ezra Greene\|Doc Greene]] is unreachable in the storm. Cody and Blades reach the last platform, but when it disappears under them, they're able to grab an invincibility power up and catch the flag. The rest of the team reaches the hall, but according to [[Graham Burns\|Graham]] and [[Boulder]], they can't simply switch the game off because it might have dire consequences for Cody and Blades. Graham might be able to patch someone in to the system, but the snow threatens the Hall's power, with potentially disastrous effects for the pair in the game.

	Cody and Blades start the last level — a hike up Mount Griffin. This is also fraught with danger and they have to pick up a shield to deflect the arrows being fired at them. Outside the Hall, the Bots clear snow from the power lines, however a tree branch falls, severing the power lines. The game begins to slow down as it loses power, until Heatwave holds the power lines together long enough for Chase to weld them together. Graham's work is completed, and Heatwave joins the game to find Blades and Cody fighting mobile trees. While the two bots keep the trees busy, Cody continues to the top of the mountain, only for the stone griffin at the top to come to life and menace him. With Cody pinned down, Blades goes for the flag and manages to grab it just as the griffin grabs him. Heatwave and Cody are transported to the end with Blades to be congratulated by CAT, and the game finally ends. Back in the real world, Cody and Blades are reunited with the rest of the team.
