03x19 - When Doves Cry

[bunniefuu]

Recognize this banner mount, Zanth?

I wielded one just like it

when we rode into the Battle of Two Skies.

[grumbling roar]

[chuckling]

So, I'm glad to have guests.

- Tea?
- Actually, Arrakore,

we have to get to a place called the
Cave of Tones and wake a dragon,

or, like, half a dragon?

We don't know if it's
the front half or the back half.

Aw, Sora, please.

You'd only need to wake the Arc Dragon

if you were going up against
the Shatter Dragon of Chaos,

which, I mean... [laughing]

...good luck
if that ever happens,

be-- because--

Oh, for real?

You're fighting Thunderfang?

Well, that's tough,

Oh, but at least he didn't die
and go to the Spectral Lands,

where his power could...
[chuckling]

[grumbling sadly]

Oh, he did?

Well, you know...

good luck, anyway, I guess?

Please tell me you've restored enough of
Djinjago that the Cave of Tones is back.

[Arrakore] I sure have.

Right there.

But there's no half-dragon in it.

[groaning] Why not?

My wish magic isn't yet strong enough

to bring back living things,

like the Arc Dragon, or my people,

so I've had to settle
for reviving our cultural artifacts.

The upside?
I've brought back

some really excellent pottery.

The workmanship!

Delilah doesn't like to be moved!

I told you,

it gets pretty lonely.

Maybe all your magic needs
is the right motivation,

like saving the world.

Arrakore, I wish
for the Arc Dragon of Focus

to be restored.

[breathing deeply]

Your wish is yours to keep...

maybe.

Actually, with Zanth's
new boost of Djinjagan magic,

we might have enough power...
if we work together.

[grumbling roar]

A wish of this magnitude

will take time and complete concentration.

That means no distractions.

Even loud noises
could destroy our focus and ruin the wish.

The world hangs in the balance,
so you won't hear a peep from us.

We're Ninja.
Stealth is our thing.

[metal clanking]

These metal shoes are not comfortable,
but I like the noise they make!

Clang! Clang!

[clanking]

What?
Did I miss something?

♪ Lost in the unknown ♪

♪ Together we will rise ♪

♪ We fight ♪

♪ Be a ninja for what's right ♪

[thunderclap]

Aah!

[gasping for breath]

[groaning]

[Ras] Leaving you alone,

defenseless,

gone on more important business.

Does it hurt to realize

the Ninja care so little for you?

[Sora and Frak]
♪ Da-da-da-da-da... ♪

No, it-- It's...
♪ Da-da ♪

- [grumbling]
- It-- It's...

♪ Da-da ♪

You go-- You go up after.

♪ Bum-ba-ba-bum-bum
Bum-bum! ♪

Shush!

[whispering] Oh, right.

How are we supposed
to remember this boring song

if we can't make any noise?

[novelty car horn blaring "La Cucaracha"]

No, you're way off.

That wasn't me.

[novelty car horn blaring]

Rapton lives!

Shh!

Shushing Rapton?

How rude!

What are you g*ons doing here?

Thievin'.

All this Djinjago loot

is Djinja-going
home with us! Heh.

So, why are we whispering?

Because... these relics
belong to a powerful Djinn

asleep in that cave.

He'll be real angry if he wakes up.

Huh, okay,

an angry Djinn would cut into
Rapton's profit margin.

[sighing]
Freebooters,

spread out and grab
all the treasure you can,

quiet-like,

but remember,

if you find that jeweled box,

it belongs to me.

We can't let you steal this stuff.

There's time to fight.

[powering weapons]

What about noise?

[scoffing] Everyone knows Rapton

is a Mighty Combat Panther of Stealth!

- [groaning with impact]
- [whispering] Attack!

- [gasping]
- [boulder thudding]

No gem-stealing, nin-joker!

Hold up, big guy. We--

[clearing throat]

I mean, I...

I don't want your gems,
because it's just me.

I just need into the cave behind there

to ring bells,

or else the world will be destroyed.

World destroyed?

But Powerlid needs world!

That's where Powerlid keeps his gems!

Oh, no!

Powerlid just said out loud
where he keeps gems.

Anyone could've heard.

Security risk!

Uh... okay,
so I'll just go in.

Yes, little bi-clops, you go save world.

Only cost you four gems.

You're charging me?

To save the world?

I demand you let me pass!

"Demand"? Great!

Now cost eight gems!

Powerlid practice surge pricing
at times of peak demand.

But I don't have any gems!

Then kiss rock!

[gasping]

[Kai] Leave my sister alone!

[tense music playing]

- Kai? What are you doing here?
- I came to help!

Sora and Wyldfyre
told me Jerk-face Jay bailed,

and you're doing a mission alone.

Nice coconut.

Not so bad yourself, handsome.

[Powerlid] Gandy?

That you?

Nope. Uh, uh...

No, no, Pow-Pow,

just a normal, non-magical coconut.

Stop lie, Gandy.

It been a while,

but Powerlid recognize voice

of former BFF anywhere,

and it good to see you again,

because now Powerlid will get revenge!

[roaring ferociously]

[clattering outside]

[clanking loudly]

[tiptoes pattering, low growling]

[soft grunting]

- Shh! Keep it down!
- [yelping and squeaking]

[grunting]

[clattering, gasping]

[sighing]

Phew!

Hey, seen a jeweled box about yea big?

No, what's in it?

A little something called
"mind your own business."

I'll show you my business!

[grunting] Ah!

What are you looking at, buddy?

[gasping in delight]
My treasure!

Shh!

[roaring]

Sorceress hurt Powerlid's feelings,

so Powerlid will hurt
everyone's everything!

[slamming]

[crazed roaring]

[Kai] Wait, Powerlid!

I used to be just like you!

- Then you got second eye?
- What? No.

No, I mean, it used to be easier
for me to confront my enemies

than my feelings,

but I learned this--

Lashing out dulls emotions,

but not for long.

Those bad feelings
come back worse than ever.

Then what solution?

Bash rocks?

[chuckling]
I wish it were that easy,

but no,

it's communication.

[sighing heavily]

Gandy?

You were Powerlid's best friend,

then one day you supposed
to come on gem hunt,

never show up.

Powerlid try to find you.

You just gone.

You abandon Powerlid.

Not good friend.

[sighing heavily]

It was supposed to be
an acappella vocal practice,

but you scheduled a gem hunt
without asking.

It became "gem this,"
"gem that."

Gems crowded out
everything else in your brain.

You changed!

You change too!

You coconut now!

This isn't me, you big dummy!

This is my backup personality,

but... you're right.

I should have talked to you,

not just disappeared.

Sorry, Pow-Pow.

Powerlid sorry too, Gandy.

Great.

Now, sorry to cut this reunion short,

but we need to ring those bells.

No problem. You go.

Only cost six gems.

Friends discount.

But-- But she apologized.

You made up!

Yes, nice,

but unrelated issue.

Powerlid, you can't focus on us.

You've got to gather up your gems!

What Red talk about?

My gems all safe
in nice crate right over--

Aah! My gems!

Powerlid coming for you!

Make you safe!

Run now. Run!
Run, run, run!

[Powerlid panting in distress]

[cackling] Rapton stays winning!

[quietly]
We can't let them get away.

Arrakore trusted us to guard his treasure

while he creates the Arc Dragon.

He did? I don't
remember him saying that.

It was implied.

[mechanisms clicking]

Be sure to thank
the angry Djinn for Rapton

when he wakes up! Ha-ha!

[quietly] We can't let the bombs explode

and distract Arrakore!

[whispering] Obviously.

[roaring]

[exploding]

Phew!

[novelty car horn blaring]

Should we go after them?

No, we should wait for Arrakore.

Your wait is over.

Did you do it?

Go see for yourself.

[growling roar]

Meanwhile, I'm going to sleep for a week.

[groaning sleepily]

Well, what are we waiting for?

[Lloyd] We're getting close.

We should head down
before Thunderfang spots us.

[thudding heavily]

[Arin] The well should be right up there--

[deafening clang]

Thunderfang's all over that well,

like a lattice crust on a snowberry pie.

How are we supposed to get
the Unbidden Storm

down in there?

Even if we find a way
to distract him long enough,

he must have this place heavily-guarded.

[Arin] Like, by them?

[unearthly screeching]

[screeching]

H'yah!

Ha! H'yah!

[laughing] All right!
Prismatic armor works!

Remind me to thank Sora.

[Arin] If we get the chance.

Be brave like the ninja,
brave like the ninja...

I, Alfonzo Elias Frohicky,

Assistant Keeper of the Monastery,

will not permit you to--

Permit me?

My strength permits me.

[wailing]

[grunting with impact]

[groaning]

My family is in this Monastery,

and I'll defend them to my last breath.

So not for long, then.

[growling]

Aah!

H'yah!

Haah!

[groaning]

Go!

Hide!

[growling]

I don't need a weapon to destroy you.

I can defeat you with my bare hands.

You are just as lost

as those children you fail to protect!

H'yah!

[grunting with impact]

[groaning]

You will take me to Wu's--

What is so amusing?

Something's coming from the east.

[grunting]

I once trapped a Source Dragon.

Am I to tremble

in front of a decrepit old lizard

on her last legs?

A Tiger Tribe warrior without honor?

Zarkar himself would be ashamed

to find his last descendant sunk to--

[gasping]
A Source Dragon Icon?

Two icons? Impossible.

Send my greetings to Egalt.

H'yah!

[roaring in pain]

Hi-yah!

[groaning with impact]

Aah!

Now, show me to Wu's study.

[cackling]

Rapton would risk
a thousand henchmen's lives

for you,

the greatest treasure of all,

a rare Djinjagan variant.

My collection is finally complete.

Incoming!

[unearthly shrieking]

Aah!

Whew!

I'd sure hate to be whoever she's after.

[unearthly shrieking]

Spectral armor or not,

I don't know how much longer
these mechs can hold up.

Whoo-whoo!

Whoa! [grunting with effort]

[slamming]

I'll hold them off!
Get down that well!

How?

Wait...

Bleckt said there's a whole cavern

beneath the well, right?

[unearthly shrieking]

H'yah!

[slamming]

- [unearthly shrieking]
- Help me!

You sure this is the best ide--?

[unearthly shrieking]

[slamming]

[unearthly shrieking]

[unearthly shrieking]

- [rock crumbling]
- [groaning]

Arrakore and Zanth, they did it!

[gasping] Look!

Okay.

Song-spell time.

Slow your roll, Mr. Eager.

Let's rehearse and get this right.

♪ Hmm-hmm-hmm... ♪

♪ Da-da-da... ♪

♪ La-da-da
La-da-da-da... ♪

- That's not right!
- You're messing it up!

[Wyldfyre] You're both wrong!

It was...

[singing "La Cucaracha"]

[together]
That was Rapton's horn!

Oh, right.

Oh, no.

In all the chaos,
we've forgotten the song!

[humming spell song]

That's a Spell Song of Waking, all right.

Very powerful magic.

Uh, one small problem.

Where are the bells?

Uh, bummer.

The bells have been in Mysterium so long,

the natural magic of the land

must have transfigured them.

Meh, it happens.

Bells into doves, purses into piglets,

shopping bags into
wandering theater troupes.

How are we supposed to ring a dove?

[humming a melody]

[humming competing melodies]

[grumbling a melody]

We can't keep going back and forth.

We're running out of time!

You don't know the melody.

You weren't even there, Frak.

I listened the first time you taught me.

I have perfect pitch.

[bell chiming]

- [bell chiming]
- [error tone buzzing]

[Sora] Looks like we only have
three chances...

and we've already wasted one.

[squawking]

[yelping] Aah!

[spluttering]

I never thought I'd say this,

but I wish Fugi-Dove were here.

Doves are the worst.

No self-respecting spellcaster

would have one as a familiar.

Now, Janet had a dove.

Trained it to befoul
my cauldron whenever I--

Wait, you say this Janet trained her dove?

- How?
- Snacks.

All simple-minded creatures
are motivated by food.

[grumbling]
Oh, don't mention food.

I'm so hungry!

I could actually eat
these gross wafers Geo made.

[whimpering and munching]

[gagging] Ugh, never mind.
No, I'm not.

You have snacks?

Gimme those!

Come on...

Polly want a... this thing?

[dove cooing]

Come on, birdy, we need this!

[chirping a note]

It worked!

- [bell chiming]
- You got this!

Dominate those bells!

Raar!

[bells chiming]

[humming melody]

By all means, take your time.

Not like the world is going to end!

[humming melody]

[bell chiming]

[error tone buzzing]

[Frak sighs]

One chance left.

I'll take it from here.

I can do it!

I only made one mistake.

Which I watched and learned from.

Nope. You've each gone already.

My turn!

[both] Stop!

- [chirping note]
- [bell chiming]

[chirping note]

- [bell chiming]
- [chirping note]

[bell chiming]

- [chirping note]
- [bell chiming]

[chirping, chiming]

[chirping and chiming notes]

[tone reverberating]

[bells tolling waking spell]

[growling]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[roaring]

- Did it work?
- Maybe?

Let's hope everyone else
is doing their part now.

[stones crumbling]

[Lloyd grunts]

[coughing]

Arin!

[Arin] I'm okay!

Arin, I'm sorry.

I was so focused on getting us down here,

I didn't think about the consequences.

I'm fine, and look!

- [Lloyd] Is that...?
- [Arin] Let's find out.

We're below the Well of the Lost!

You did it!

Now we just need...

The Unbidden Storm!

I must have dropped it in the fall!

[Lloyd]
It broke during the cave-in.

I ruined our last chance
to stop Thunderfang.

[cackling malevolently]

[tense music playing]
