14x02 - The Call of the Deep

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

[Maya] "The Call of the Deep."

[Nya snoring]

[Maya]

Rise and shine, sleepyhead!

It's : am,

the early Ninja gets the worm.

Oh, my.

Would you look at this mess?

Dear, dear, dear.

Okay, let's tidy this place up.

-[clattering]

-[groans]

[Maya] A messy room

makes for a messy ninja, Nya.

And we are not messy ninjas.

Spears belong in their racks,

shuriken and throwing stars...

[grunts]

...belong in the shuriken

and throwing star bin.

Make it stop!

Bladed weapons don't just

get stabbed into a wall.

They actually have a place.

And chickens

do not belong indoors.

[clucking]

Now, this place is starting

to look like something.

Are you still lying there?

Come on! Up, up, up, sleepyhead!

-[gasps]

-I find the best way

to start the day

and chase away those "sleepies"

is with a few jumping jacks.

Ready, set, go!

One, and two,

and one, and two, and one...

Am I having a nightmare?

Or is this really happening?

You made breakfast?

Of course, I made breakfast!

It's the most important meal

of the day.

If we're going to get you back

in shape and fix your life,

you're going to need

your strength.

My life does not

need "fixing," mother!

That's not what

your brother says.

He says your powers

are going haywire

and you can't

control water anymore.

Personally, I never had

that problem

when I was Master of Water...

but never fear!

We'll figure it out together.

Um, why is the bacon green?

[Maya laughs]

That's not bacon, silly.

It's seaweed.

Seaweed?

Goes great with Tofu pancakes.

Ew!

Yeah, no.

And it'll get you in tune

with your Element.

Now, eat up! Gobble, gobble!

No way am I--

Oh!

[groans]

Now, for some basics.

Assume water-stance!

[tense music]

No, no, no.

Your form is terrible, dear.

Not like that.

Like this!

Uh-uh, arms up!

-Not quite.

-[groans]

Back straight! Plant your legs!

Hands up! Eyes fixed!

-Breathe in and out, in and out.

-[breathing heavily]

Not like a Mino, dear,

just like a person.

Okay, that's it!

I can't do this!

My water stance is fine, Mom!

Well, if it was fine,

you wouldn't be having all the

problems you're having, dear.

I'm not having problems!

It was a one-time mistake, mom!

It won't happen again!

[grunts]

[groans]

But there has to be something

you can do!

Hm, to accomplish what?

To get her to leave!

She's driving me bonkers.

Can't you tell her that

you found a solution?

That we don't need

her help anymore?

I have been searching, Nya,

but there is surprisingly

little information

on the Elemental Power of Water.

Your mother

may be our best option.

She just wants to help, Nya.

She's been gone a long time.

She wants to be your mother

and take care of you.

[sighs]

I know, but...

but she's taking over!

She's doing everything!

She's got all this advice,

and these sayings, and...

she fed me bacon

made out of seaweed.

Perhaps you should talk

to your brother.

Kai might be able to help.

Kai?

Kai wouldn't understand.

He probably likes

being waited on!

I bet he loves being treated

like a baby.

I'm sure that's not true.

Kai is a grown man.

Talk to your brother.

[sighs]

[groans]

I got the power up!

-Get ready, Dad.

-Roger that!

-Hey...

-[both cheer]

Scorcher!

-Can I talk to...

-Oh, hi, Nya.

We're about to break

a new record.

Nice move, Kai!

Thanks, Dad!

-Not as good as you though.

-[chuckles]

Aw, thanks, son.

Kai, can I talk to you

for a sec?

Ooh! Here comes the big boss!

Hit him with all you got.

Oh, take that, you big oaf.

I made sandwiches.

Pause!

Ham and cheese sandwiches

with crispy bacon?

Oh, you bet!

Oh, thanks, Mommy!

You're the best!

Hmm. Bacon is the best, too.

-[gasps, sighs]

-[Kai munches]

[Cole] Okay, I think I fixed it.

Try the video feed.

That did the trick.

Can I help?

Oh, thanks, Nya,

but we're basically done.

Where are Pixal and Zane?

Uh, they, um, kinda went

on a mission.

A mission?

Why didn't they tell me?

They thought

it might be better to...

handle it on their own.

Why?

It was a water rescue.

[sighs]

[Pixal] I cannot help

but feel a little badly

that we did not include Nya

on this mission.

I have similar misgivings.

But in her current state,

Nya would only present a danger.

As does that!

Help! Help!

Over here!

We're going down!

[crew groaning]

[Zane] I do not understand.

Octopuses

are peaceful creatures,

who seldom venture

to the surface.

[Pixal] I will attempt

to calm it down.

Something

has clearly agitated it.

Pixal? Are you okay?

I am fine.

Please attend to the sailors

while I attempt to reason

with the creature.

Affirmative.

[all grunting]

[all cheering]

[Pixal] Please release me,

before I am forced

to resort to physical measures.

I repeat.

Please...

[woman] Danger. Danger.

[Pixal] What was that?

[Pixal grunts]

Huh? Pixal!

Pixal, do you copy?

-[power shuts off]

-[Zane] No!

[calm music]

[sighs sharply]

[yells]

[Nya]

You've got to be kidding me.

[groans]

[water burbling]

What is up

with the plumbing today?

[screams]

[Pixal] Please release me

before I am forced to resort

to physical measures.

I repeat, please...

Pixal, if you can hear me,

eject from the mech.

I'm sending down a line.

[tense music]

[Pixal] Zane!

Zane, do you copy?

I have lost all power.

-Pixal, come in!

-[beeping]

Pixal, if you can hear me,

reboot your primary

ignition system.

Reboot primary ignition.

Hm. This is somewhat troubling.

[woman] Danger.

approaching crush-depth.

Danger, crush-depth.

[beeping]

[woman] Hull integrity failure

in ten seconds...

nine, eight...

[Pixal] Nya taught me a peculiar

method in situations like this,

which sometimes

proves effective.

I believe it goes like this.

That's better.

[Zane] Pixal? Come in.

Can you hear me?

Pixal?

I have decided to look in to

how to pressurize our vehicles

for better depth deployment.

[all cheering]

[sighs]

There you are.

I was worried.

[Pixal] I am worried too, Zane.

What was that?

Some kind of energy signal

or pulse.

I am attempting

to triangulate its source.

The pulse, whatever it was,

appears to originate

from out at sea.

From the surface?

No. Deep below the surface,

if I am not mistaken.

A trench of some kind.

[Pixal] The energy pulse

is what affected that creature.

I fear it may also

be affecting Nya's powers.

[sighs]

If you are correct,

we must warn the others.

[door opens]

[sobs]

I... I'm...

I'm sorry for all the trouble.

I don't know

what's going on with me.

-But all of this is my fault.

-[door opens]

I do not believe that is true.

What do you mean?

Zane and I believe that

an unexplained energy signal

from the deep ocean

is responsible for the

fluctuations in your powers.

What energy signal?

A pulse. Of unknown origins.

It appears to originate here.

In the Tartarus Trench.

[Zane] It is the deepest

known point in the ocean.

Didn't you build a submersible

capable of deep sea exploration

a number of years ago?

I did. The Hydro-Bounty.

But it was never fully tested.

It's about to be.

You're going diving.
