02x03 - Beyond the Phantasm Cave

[bunniefuu]

[dramatic music]

[gong resounds]

[Cinder growls]

[pots shatter]

Your skill in Shatterspin
grows more precise, Cinder.

[panting] I can feel the gong
resonate inside me, Lord Ras,

shattering the parts of
my soul that hold me back.

Mm.

You see that, Jordana?

What? Smashing some vases?

No, me becoming
the boss's new favorite.

There can only be
one second-in-command.

-Sorry. [laughs]
-[scoffs]

[dramatic music]

What are you looking at?

With that Vengestone medallion
we found in the archive

around your neck, you can't even
use your pathetic wind powers.

You are as useless
as your ninja friends.

[Kai grunts]

Destroying all our storage crates
won't help us save Cloud Kingdom.

It's helping me
work out my anger.

But I don't even think our elemental mechs
could stop Cinder and Ras.

What else we got?
[grunts]

[Nya] There's nothing
in Wu's notes,

the pages we still have
anyway, about Shatterspin,

and I can't find anything
about these Forbidden Five

Ras wants to bring back, either.

It's like it was
all scrubbed from history.

Well, someone stopped
the Forbidden Five before.

We have to figure out
how they did it.

-Fast.
-[crate explodes]

[Arin] Take that!

[grunting]

[exciting music]

-Ah, heads up, Sora!
-[exclaims]

Sorry.

Kinda lost control there.

I get it, Arin.

We're all on edge.

Losing that battle was crushing.

I'm trying to be helpful
by building useful gadgets,

but it probably
won't make a difference.

Yeah, I'm training 'cause I just
don't know what else to do.

Why are you practicing in here
and not in the courtyard?

Because Lloyd is out there
meditating on his visions.

If he doesn't come up with a way
to stop Ras and Shatterspin,

I don't know
what we're gonna do.

[flame roaring]

[fly buzzing]

[sighing softly]

[Lloyd groaning]

[Lloyd groaning]

I've been here for hours,
and nothing!

Why do I have visions
of everything that can go wrong

but none about
how to make it right?

Source Dragons,
are you out there?

Can you hear me?

Is this just a game to you?

I need answers!

[ethereal music]

[Lloyd gasps]

[dramatic music]

[Motion Symbol]
This is the mortal?

[Energy Symbol] The one who released me
from my captivity, yes.

[Strength Symbol]
He wields an element.

Who among us claims him?

[Life Symbol] He's one of mine,
a descendant of the first.

[Motion Symbol]
I sense danger from the mortals.

[Strength Symbol] Bah!

Coalescence or not,
the mortals cannot touch us.

[Energy Symbol] I thought that
once, before my imprisonment.

[Strength Symbol] Hmph.
This mortal doesn't seem like much to me.

[Energy Symbol] He was conduit
to my unbridled energy.

[Life Symbol]
A mortal exposed directly?

The effects could be profound.

[Energy Symbol]
He is no ordinary mortal,

and he asks for help.

[Motion Symbol]
You know as well as I,

we do not involve ourselves
directly in mortal affairs.

[Energy Symbol]
I ask you to reconsider.

He liberated me from my prison.

I am in his debt.

Perhaps we all are.

[Motion Symbol] Very well.

We shall start him on the path,

but the journey
has to be his own.

[beam blasts]

[Lloyd screams]

[dramatic music]

[roars]

-What in the...
-Lloyd!

I saw a vision of...

I think there were
the Source Dragons, kind of,

but I can't...

They filled my head with,
like, pieces of a puzzle.

It's too much to process.

There was a metal gate,
a place we can learn,

a teacher to seek out.

Are you sure
this is on the level?

You've been out here
all night, and I...

No, this was real.

I mean, I believe it was.

I think there's
an old master out there

who can teach us
how to fight Shatterspin.

That's amazing!

If it's true.

We sure it's true?

As sure as I can be right now.

[groaning]

Kai?

Time for an adventure?

Yes! What took you so long?

Ow! [groaning]

I'm fine.
My leg doesn't even hurt.

[groans]

You need more time
to let your body heal.

The rest of us
are going on a mission.

-So you...
-Without me?

That's the stupidest thing
I ever heard!

Who's gonna save
all of you if I'm not there?

Wyldfyre, there's no shame
in getting injured.

If you want to be a ninja,
you need to stay and rest.

It's for your own good.
Cool?

Ugh.
[grunts]

You better be going
on a super-boring mission.

[laughs] Totally.
The boringest.

[dramatic music]

[Mech parts clattering]

The Bounty will be all set soon,
but set for where?

I only have a sense of
how to find this hermit teacher.

Like, I'll know when we get there?

This is ridiculous, isn't it?

Would Master Wu take us on a mission
based on half-understood dreams?

None of us know
what Master Wu would do.

We're in new territory here.

Don't worry, everyone.

Ninja Zane will be here
in case any emergencies arise.

And I personally assure
that the monastery

will stay in tip-top shape
while you're gone.

Mr. Frohicky?

Also, keep an eye
on Wyldfyre for me.

But don't let her know
you are,

'cause she thinks
she can do everything herself.

Count on it.
I have a batch

of fetid swamp tea
in the cauldron right now.

Fetid swamp tea?

I'm not sure that counts
as taking care, but, okay.

[dramatic music]

Lord Ras, I have found the
location of the final component.

Your aptitude for the mystical arts
is growing, Jordana.

Hmm.

I have learned much
from the hidden scrolls

and your mentorship.

Excellent.
We leave immediately.

There can only be
one second-in-command.

Sorry.

The motor hasn't been used
for hundreds of years.

The monks just let the kingdom drift
wherever destiny would have them go.

[Ras] Fools.

Turn the engine!

[monks groaning]

[dramatic music]

[ground rumbling]

[rumbling]

[Lloyd snoring]

I hear steering a ship is a little easier
with your eyes open.

What's wrong?

The previous visions I had
were like nightmares.

This one was like
an instruction.

I could see a metal gate,
sense a teacher we need to find,

and feel a direction to go.

But I'm still on edge.

I'm not sure I trust
what's in my own brain.

I don't trust your visions either,
but I trust you.

The Legendary Green Ninja
has never let us down.

You and I have seen
so many battles.

I know you can handle yourself,

but if I'm leading us into a trap,

what about the younger ones?

[energy spins]

[thumps]

They're not ready.

They might surprise you.

And I don't think
they'd rather be anywhere else.

[engine crashing]

Not a good sound to hear coming
from the engine compartment.

Sounds like the rotor
slipped the drive belt.

[person sneezes]

And now it sounds like
the rotor sneezed.

Which they can't do,
I'm assuming. Right?

Yeah, not a standard part.

[wincing]

Wyldfyre?
What are you doing here?

Good news! I'm all better.

-[Wyldfyre groans]
-[Kai groans]

What part of "stay and heal"
was hard to understand?

The part where staying
and healing is boring.

[Kai groans]

How'd you get past Mr. Frohicky?

I came up with a plan
so cunning, so original,

that no one else could
ever have thought of it.

Did you stack a bunch
of rocks under a blanket

to make it look like
you were in there sleeping?

[gasps] How could you
possibly know that?

We have to take her back.

-Too late!
-Why?

Because it looks
like we're here.

[dramatic music]

We supposed to go
in there, Lloyd?

Yes, I think so.

[dramatic music continues]

I ever tell you about
the time I was little

and broke down
the family vacuum cleaner

so I could build
a robot to do my chores?

Yeah. [laughs]

Then it turned out
your chore for the week

was to vacuum the house,
and no more vacuum cleaner.

When my mom found out,
she was so mad.

So I ran off into
the tunnels under Imperium.

I went so far down,
I got lost for two days.

How'd you get out?

That's not important,
but let's just say it was gross.

My point is
I didn't wanna be found,

so I hid away in the most
impossible place I could find.

So?

So, this teacher
Lloyd wants to find.

If they're
all the way out here,

maybe they
don't wanna be found.

[dramatic music]

[Lloyd gasps]
That's the place!

Or a place, at least.

Pfft! Every place is a place!

No, I mean,
I saw it in my vision.

I think it means
we're on the right path.

We should go up.

Not in the Bounty, we shouldn't.

The ship's too big to fit.

Bet we could squeeze through.

That's probably what the captains
of those ships thought too.

[dramatic music]

So maybe we're
not squeezing through.

Any other ideas?

As a matter of fact...

[exciting music]

Whoo-hoo!

When did you make these?

After we got back
from Cloud Kingdom.

Lloyd said he wanted
a grapple like Arin's.

I thought they'd be cooler

if we could use our
Elemental Powers with them.

Fun, right?

Even without Elemental Powers,
it's still cool.

Sweet. But two problems.

We got a dragon that can't fly.

[growls]

No offense, buddy.
Just the truth.

And we also have an injured ninja
who was expressly told to stay home,

who came along irresponsibly.

-Who's he talking about?
-[Riyu growls]

Good points.

Then maybe it's time for
a little elemental tech power.

[dramatic music]

[Mech parts clatter]

Nice!
And it comes in my color.

[dramatic music continues]

[grapples sh**ting]

You two okay out there?

I guess.

My turn to pilot yet?

[Kai scoffs] As if.

This is feeling right.

And you were worried we might
not be able to trust your...

-[Nya screams]
-Nya!

Huh?

-[tentacle whips]
-[Kai grunts]

[tentacle whips]

[Kai grunts]

[Arin screams]

I'm coming, Arin!
Don't move.

Yeah, not a problem.

[Nya grunting]

[Kai grunting]

[Kai grunting]

Arin, I'm coming in hot!

Whoa.

Or not.

Let's see how these things
handle Spinjitzu!

[Lloyd yells]

[Nya grunts]

Yes!

Oh, this thing's trying
to make me a lot thinner, Sora.

I can't do Spinjitzu to help!

-[dramatic music]
-[tentacle whips]

[Kai groans]

[Arin screams]

[energy blasts]

-[Arin screams]
-Heads up, Kai!

[screaming and grunting]

Hey, kid.
Nice of you to drop by.

[triumphant music]

Arin, I'm sorry.

I tried everything I could.

I just don't know...

Spinjitzu. It's okay.

I don't have Elemental Powers.

Maybe that's why together...

We make such a good team.

So where do your feelings
tell you we need to go next?

I believe the teacher we're
looking for is through there.

And there aren't gonna be
deadly tentacles grabbing us in there?

I didn't say that.

[eerie music]

How can it be so dark in here?

The cave mouth
is right behind us.

-[Arin gasps]
-Huh?

I got this.
Time to shine.

Is it still getting darker?
[echoing]

Ah, technical difficulties.

I'll have us back in a sec.

There you g...

Hey, where'd everyone go?

[eerie music]

What?

Sora? Lloyd?

Is that you?

[dramatic music]

Mom? Dad?

Why haven't you
found us, Arin?

Are the ninja your
family now instead of us?

Did you forget us?

What? No!
I love you!

I miss you!

[eerie music]

[static crackling]

Kai? How did you get
so far ahead?

[static crackling]

Wait, how did...

[dramatic music]

[gasps]

[electricity zaps]

[Sora groaning]

No!

Hello?
Can anyone hear me?

Of course they can't.
They're lost.

Master Wu!
Where did you...

Your team needed
strong leadership,

and did not receive it.

But I had these visions and...

[sighs]
I blame myself, nephew.

I felt you were ready to take
over for me, but I was wrong.

-You will never...
-...be good enough.

[gasping]

[Lloyd screams]

[gasps] Jay!

Jay! I found you.

Huh? Who are you?

Ha-ha. Your sense of humor
is still terrible.

How'd you even get here?

Stop acting like you know me.

I've never seen you
before in my life.

What? Jay, don't you
dare tell me...

Wait, this isn't happening, is it?

[Nya panting]

[Nya gasps]

[electricity buzzing]

[Nya groans]

[dramatic music]

What even are you?

-[beam blasts]
-[monster growls]

[Arin groaning, panting]

You all didn't see
what I saw, did you?

No, I think I saw my own thing.

File that under
the absolute worst.

What was in your vision?

The wasting...
[gasps]

Nothing. Never mind.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Huh.

How did you know
it wasn't real?

I saw Jay, the love of my life,
but he didn't know who I was.

I know the real Jay
could never forget me.

It couldn't be real.

We should keep moving.

Who knows if that thing
is coming back,

maybe with even uglier friends.

Light! Over there!

[dramatic music]

[Arin]
I can't see anything.

Now what?

The teacher we're seeking,

I feel like
he's just through here.

[Kai] Just through what
could be a massive drop

into nothingness?
You sure?

The Source Dragons wouldn't
have put us through all this

just to reach a dead end.

I'm pretty sure.
I think.

Then it's time
for a leap of faith.

Wait, I'm not a hundred
percent sure if...

Lloyd, I'm sure.

We trust you,
and you should trust you, too.

Complete agree.

Ninja, go!

Kai? Kai!

Did Kai just leap to his...

[Kai] Where is everyone?
Get over here.

[all sigh]

I knew he was fine.

[dramatic music]

[Lloyd] That's the metal gate
from my vision.

We did it. We're here.

The teacher who can help us
learn to defeat Shatterspin

-should be right behind...
-[ground rumbling]

[dramatic music]

[roars]

[all gasp]

[closing music playing]
