[Okino] "The maze of the red dragon"

[Okino] I am Okino, samurai of Terra Karana.

My entire existence,

I have sought to fulfill my duty,

guiding my masters across the dangers of Terra Karana.

I have failed many times.

But now I have masters truly worthy of my honorable efforts.

I will not fail them!

We must stay together.

The Maze of the Red Dragon has many twists and turns.

[scoffs] No problem! I'm great at mazes.

This might be harder than the ones you're used to,

on the backs of cereal boxes.

[Cole] Huh.

Those statues look familiar.

Yeah, he's right!

Those are just like the statues we saw on Dyer Island.

Oh, yeah, the ones that sh*t lasers at us--

-[zaps] -[both] Whoa!

[Okino] Go!

Quickly!

-[yelping] -[grunting]

[zapping]

-Gotcha! -There are many traps here.

You must always be aware of your surroundings.

Good safety tip. Right guys?

[suspenseful music]

[thumps]

[clanking]

[Lloyd] Thanks, Okino.

That was close.

[tense music]

[grunts]

Jay.

[chuckles]

Which way now?

Uh, Okino? Any ideas?

Left or right?

[gasps]

Master Lloyd?

Nya?

Jay?

What is wrong?

What has happened?

[zaps]

[Unagami] Okino, my son.

Unagami!

[Unagami] You may rise.

It is an honor to be in your presence!

[Unagami] Yet, I sense something troubles you.

The ninja... They have told me things.

About Terra Kerana.

Things that are difficult to believe.

They have told you that this world is not real.

That you are not real.

[Unagami] This is true.

You were born in this realm. A place of illusion.

A shadow of the real world.

But you are not bound to this place.

I am building a machine,

a wondrous device,

that will allow you to enter the real world.

Would you like to go there?

Hai!

[Unagami] Then I will bring you with me.

But you must help me.

How...?

The ninja seek to stop me and destroy the machine.

Instead, they must be destroyed.

But, they are my friends.

They trust me.

If you help the ninja,

you will never see the real world.

You will remain trapped here, in this illusion forever.

But, I... I am a guide.

It would be dishonorable to betray my masters.

[roars]

[Unagami] You choose strangers over me?

Your Creator?

Do your duty, Samurai.

You will hear from me again when the time is near.

[Cole] ...right?

[Lloyd] Okino? You okay?

I, I...

I am okay.

[Cole] So, which way? Left or right?

As we near the heart of the maze,

the danger will grow.

We trust you, Okino.

Down, all of you!

-[clangs] -[all yell]

Thanks again, Okino.

It, it is my duty.

Run!

-[rumbles] -[all panting]

[Okino] Leap!

Roll!

Cole!

[groans] Get this thing off me!

[zaps, rumbles]

It's okay. It's not that bad.

But I could use a booby-trap break.

We can rest for a moment.

It is safe here.

Are we getting close to the keytana yet?

Hai. The heart of the maze is near.

-May I ask something? -Of course, Okino.

Why do you seek the Keytana?

We need it to stop Unagami.

To free everyone who's been trapped inside the game.

They are your friends?

Well, not really.

But they're innocent people and they're in danger.

We have a duty to help them, right?

[dramatic music]

There it is! The Keytana!

Shh! Speak softly.

[clanking]

[snarls]

-Could have been worse. -How?

It could have been awake.

If we're quiet, we can sneak by,

grab the Keytana, and get out of here before it wakes up.

That is a wise plan.

But one of you must retrieve the Keytana.

I can only guide a quest,

not complete one.

-I'll go. -No.

It should be the one with the highest stealth rating.

[sighs] It's me.

I've been in the game longest

and upgraded my stealth the most.

[sighs]

[tense music]

[clanks]

[all gasp]

-[yells] -[thuds]

-[clanks] -[groans]

[gasps]

[all grunting]

-[growls] -[Lloyd] Uh-oh.

[roars]

[all yelling]

[Jay] Hit it!

[Cole] We gotta knock its life force down!

-[zapping] -[clanking]

[Kai] Our hits aren't working!

[Nya] There has to be a way to bring it down!

[yelling, grunting]

The Red Dragon's weak point is--

[tense music]

It is time.

All you must do is remain silent.

Let them perish.

Do not help them.

But, they trust me.

Remember what I offer.

Escape. Freedom.

A place in the real world.

In the real world?

[roars]

[grunting, yelling]

[thuds]

[Lloyd] Okino, there's got to be a way to defeat him!

-[Nya] Okino! Help us! -[thuds]

[tense music]

I choose my own path!

[yells]

[zaps]

[Lloyd] The scale!

That's the Dragon's weak point!

Hit the scale in the middle of his back!

-[Nya] I see it! -[Cole] Yeah, we can do this!

[yelling, zapping]

[yelling, zapping continues]

[heroic music]

[zaps]

You have defeated the Dragon.

The amulet is yours.

You are empowered to call upon the Dragon in a future battle.

But once. And only once.

We did it!

We did it with your help, Okino.

[Unagami] You have betrayed me, Okino.

But you have only doomed yourself.

The gate will still be built,

but you will never see it.

Never!

-[Jay] Thanks, Okino. -You were great.

Yeah, you should come with us, Okino.

[Lloyd] You were a big help.

I thank you.

But, I must go my own way.

[Okino] For too long I have followed the ways of others.

I am Okino. Ronin of Terra Karana.

No longer do I guide others on their adventures.

Now...

I seek my own adventure.
