[Kai] "The Glitch."

Nice to meet you, Okino.

That's Cole, Kai, Nya and Jay.

I am honored.

Allow me, humbly, to pledge my service.

Oh, gee, that's really not--

I, Okino, Samurai,

pledge to serve you and do all in my power

to protect you and guide you to the Keytana.

-Thanks, Okino, that's-- -Just out of curiosity,

when you said you had failed all your previous masters,

how many are we talking here?

[Kai] Two or three?

-Kai. -What?

I can ask that, can't I?

[sighs deeply]

[Jay] Oh.

Yeah.

Okay, so a few.

But this time will be different, right Okino?

Yes! I swear it!

Lead on, Okino.

We trust you.

This way!

Into the Forest of Discontent, and then beyond.

Past the Cliffs of Hysteria,

and finally the Maze of the red dragon.

[tense music]

Forest of Discontent?

Why do they call it that?

[whooshing]

What was that?

Thorns of discontent.

It came from those bushes!

Let's spread out.

Six targets are harder to hit than one.

Good idea, I got the bush in the middle.

I'll take the one on the left.

I'll take the one on the right.

I'll hang back

and make sure no bushes are following us.

What?

I have one life left, remember?

Okay, on three.

One, two, three!

[Jay] Ninja versus bushes, epic!

[whooshes]

[all grunting]

Wow, these new weapons are really awesome!

That was... [screams]

-Cole! -[screaming]

[panting] It got me, it got me!

Aw, I just a lost a life!

You must be careful.

In this place, all things, be they flower, tree, or beast

-seek to destroy you. -[all whimper]

Even the ground beneath cannot be trusted.

[tense music]

Wow. It's dark in here.

-Hang on a sec. -[beeps]

-[fire crackles] -There. That's better.

-[growls] -[all gasp]

Great, now I can see what I'm looking at

and it's even worse.

[Nya] So tell us about the Keytana, Okino.

You said it's in a maze?

Hai, guarded by a fearsome beast.

A dragon!

We've faced plenty of dragons before.

Not like this one.

They say its teeth can rend any armor,

its breath can melt steel,

and its scales are impervious

to even the sharpest blades.

[screams]

-Nya! -Hang on!

Get me out of here!

[creature burps]

[gasps]

What the heck was that?

Swamp-teeth!

Swamp-teeth?

[growls]

Even the ground cannot be trusted.

I'll say one thing.

Milton Dyer has a twisted imagination.

What is it?

Those vines, I think they are Strangler Vines.

I don't like the sound of that.

Strangler vines?

[groans] Great.

Lloyd, you should check it out.

It's your turn.

Look I already lost three lives,

and Cole got hit by the thorns,

[Kai] Nya fell into the hole.

Okay, okay.

[soft chuckle] They're just normal--

[grunting]

[groaning]

[thwacking]

[screaming]

What were those things?

Lloyd!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Who are you?

[chuckles]

I am of the Brotherhood of Rats!

And I am sworn to silence!

Do your worst, you'll get nothing out of me.

Nothing!

So you're working for Unagami.

You're trying to trick me

into giving away that Unagami ordered us to ambush you.

Well it won't work.

Yeah he's the not the brightest, is he?

So Unagami is cheating.

To make sure we don't win the game.

Oh, that makes me mad!

Uh, game?

Yeah, Prime Empire.

Oh, wait. You're an NPC. You're a part of the game.

-[Cole] Never mind. -What game?

Okino, I know it's hard to believe.

But this world, the forest, the traps, all of it,

it's, it's just...

It's only a game, Okino.

It's not real.

We're all stuck inside a game.

And Unagami is the guy calling the sh*ts.

He's the one who made this whole place.

[chuckles] Game!

You are testing Okino.

You think I am so easily fooled? [laughs]

No, Okino, we're telling the truth.

He's not programmed to understand

that kind of stuff, Kai.

He's part of the game.

[Okino laughs] Game.

[Nya] So what do we do?

This doesn't change anything.

We already knew Unagami was trying to stop us.

Now we know he's playing dirty.

Let's keep moving.

[whimpering] Oh, no!

No, no, no. I got a, I got an itch!

You gotta help! You gotta do something! You gotta...

You gotta scratch it!

Give me one reason I should?

[whimpers] Okay, okay!

I can help! I know a glitch!

-A what? -A glitch!

A glitch in the game!

A shortcut, oh, jeez it itches,

to get past the forest!

Oh, come on, you gotta help! You gotta cut me down!

[groaning]

Huh. What do you think?

Well, he could be telling the truth.

Games have glitches sometimes.

Yeah, like "Fist to Face!" Remember that game?

Where you can step right through the wall?

If he's telling the truth,

this could save us a lot of time.

What means this word?

"Glitch?"

Um, it's hard to explain...

If we let you down,

you have to promise to lead us to the glitch.

Ooh, yes!

Yes, I promise. [whimpers]

Just get me down!

Come on, let me down, let me down!

-[thuds] -[groans]

[groaning]

That's it right there!

Come on! This way!

Hurry!

You sure this is a good idea?

What do we have to lose?

There! See it?

[buzzing]

That's it. Jump in, like this.

[warbles]

What devilry?

It's okay, Okino. You don't have to follow us.

This is the glitch. We can go it alone from here.

Lookout! It's a trap!

[g*nshots]

[laughs]

Suckers!

Long live Atta the Ratta!

[Cole] You lousy rat!

[g*nf*re]

[Nya] Lloyd! There are too many!

[grunting]

Okino!

Go! I will hold them off! [grunts]

After the rat!

[thwacking]

Patch the glitch!

-Oh, no! -Run!

[warbles]

Okino! Come on!

Go! Save yourselves!

Okino, I'm not leaving without you!

Now, run!

[buzzing]

[grunting]

[panting]

We made it.

We actually made it!

[chuckles] Yes!

Okino, thank you.

You saved our lives back there.

Most of our lives.

Are you okay, Okino?

You told me the truth.

This world, my world

is a glitch.

A game. Yes.

And I am part of it.

-A pawn. -No.

If you were just a pawn you wouldn't have helped us.

You decided to save our lives.

You made that decision.

Not Unagami.

Okino, we wouldn't have made it without you.

If I cannot trust in what I see,

in what I believe?

What should I trust?

You're a good person, Okino.

How about you trust in yourself?

And in your friends?

My friends?

[Jay] Yeah.

Us.

Because we're gonna need all the help we can get.
