Buzzy, we need more streamers.
>> Gee, Deedee, you really get into this holiday.
>> It's Reboot Eve, my favorite holiday of the whole year.
You say goodbye to everything old and hello to everything new.
Nothing like a fresh start, right, Buzzy?
>> Hey, Boss.
Did you make your Reboot resolution?
>> My what?
>> You know, resolution, where you promise to change something or do something new.
>> In case you forgot, I'm The Hacker.
I don't need to change anything.
Right now, I'm just... tired.
>> Whoa, Boss!
Your energy is really low.
Maybe you need to power up.
>> Yes.
It's so exhausting being a villainous genius.
>> Hello, Cyberspace.
Mitch Modem here, along with my co-host, Valentina Vector.
>> We are so excited to celebrate Reboot Eve with you, live from Bottawa.
Have you made any resolutions yet, Mitch?
>> Only one.
Get a warmer jacket.
[ Laughs ] It is cold and windy in Bottawa.
Brrrr!
>> Those are my favorite TV hosts.
I watch them every year.
>> Yuck!
You're lucky I'm too weak to change the channel.
>> Each year, a new site gets to host the ball rise.
And this year, the honor goes to blustery Bottawa!
[ Crowd cheering ] >> [ Gasps ] >> I'm here with Mayor Justine Turbeau.
>> Happy Reboot Eve!
Welcome to beautiful Bottawa.
[ Wind howling ] [ Laughs ] The windiest site in Cyberspace.
>> Mayor, many viewers have asked how, exactly, the Reboot ball is raised.
>> I'm happy to explain, Val.
Once the 10-second count-up to midnight begins, this bar starts to turn, lifting the ball up off the ground.
When the ball reaches the top, it's Reboot Day and party time!
[ Laughs ] >> It must take a lot of power to raise that ball.
>> Excellent observation, Mitch.
All the power comes from right inside this box here.
Fun fact -- it contains enough power to charge an entire cyber site for a whole year.
>> Did she say an entire year?
[ Gasps ] With power like that, I wouldn't have to recharge so often.
>> Boss, you're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you?
>> Of course I am.
Set a course for Bottawa.
>> [ Gasps ] Excuse me.
I'm here to check the Reboot tower's power box, make sure everything's running just right before the big moment.
>> Oh.
Certainly.
Can't leave anything to chance.
Right this way.
That's odd.
We don't usually get fog this time of year.
But you know what they say.
If you want the weather to change in Bottawa, just wait five minutes.
[ Laughs ] >> I'm going up now.
Almost there.
[ Wind howling ] Ah!
[ Grunts ] >> Lowering the extraction plug.
[ Whirring ] >> Buzzy, tell the Boss not to make me do this.
Please?
>> Do it!
>> [ Sighs ] >> Recharge complete.
>> [ Laughs ] >> The power is drained.
>> Hop on, Deedee.
>> No.
I'm not coming.
>> You can't stay in Bottawa.
>> Yes, I can.
I'm staying here forever, maybe longer.
Goodbye, Buzzy.
>> Boss!
Delete wants to stay in Bottawa.
What are we gonna do?
>> Nothing!
[ Laughs evilly ] Take us back to the Northern Frontier!
>> [ Gasps ] >> ♪ Hang the streamers for Reboot ♪ ♪ La, la, la-la-la, la, la, la ♪ Something, I forgot the words ♪ ♪ La, la, la-la-la, la, la, la >> Emergency!
Problem in Bottawa!
Reboot tower not functioning.
>> Uh-oh!
>> [ Shudders ] It's sure is cold in Bottawa.
>> Yikes!
And windy!
>> CyberSquad!
I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Mayor Justine.
>> Great to be here, Mayor.
We can't wait to see the Reboot ball rise.
>> That's the problem.
The ball isn't going to rise.
>> Why not?
>> The power's not working.
I don't know what happened.
>> The Didge will investigate.
[ Wind howling ] Whoa!
That wind is even stronger up here!
Oh, boy.
That's not good.
>> Mmm!
Nothing like a cup of hot botolate on Reboot Eve.
[ Gasps ] Earth kids?!
I wonder if they know about the tower.
I should tell them what happened so they can fix it.
[ Panting ] Wait.
Maybe I shouldn't.
They won't believe me anyway.
>> All your power's been drained.
There's nothing but nothing up there.
>> [ Laughs ] For a second there, I thought you said all the power is gone.
>> Uh, he did.
>> But we don't have enough power to replace it.
No power, no ball rise.
>> [ Gasps ] Aw!
>> Reboot Eve is ruined!
