03x09 - Chaos Unchained

[bunniefuu]

[tense music playing]

Ahh…

the final two Prismatic Blades
are in the hands of my servants.

Source dragons! You seven cosmic frauds!

You've kept me
from what I deserve for eons,

but soon… I will rise!

It's true. My parents are dead.

I saw the headstones myself.

I didn't even get to say goodbye to them.

[wind blowing]

Aw, man.

Arin, I'm so sorry.

How did…?

I mean, what happened?

The Merge happened!

My parents died
because of what Master Wu did!

If my uncle really caused the Merge,

I have to believe he had a good reason.

sNo reason makes it okay
that my family died!

No, I didn't mean… I just…

But more people will die
if the Forbidden Five use those blades,

and I need Ras back.

So you want to work with us?

If… if that's okay.

Of course it is.

You're one of us.

[Zane] I concur.

Was hoping we'd get to fight together.

I'd rather risk my life
with my best friend

than be safe without you.

Then let's get going.

Not to precipitate on this procession,

but given the rate Drix was traveling
with the final two Prismatic Blades,

catching up to him
before he reaches Thunderfang

is an impossibility.

Impossible as in… it can't happen?

Yes, I am indeed using
the word "impossible"

to mean "impossible."

I hate Drix.

Second worst time I've had
fighting insects.

First time was that picnic with Jay.

That was my picnic with Jay.

I didn't invite you!

And I told you not
to rub honey in your hair!

Well, Jay double-dog dared me!

I didn't want to back out and look uncool.

Did you miss this?

"Look uncool"? [laughing]

Did running through the Monastery

with a swarm of clamp-beetles
on your tail look cool?

- Yes, I happen to think that--
- [Lloyd] Hold it.

"Through the Monastery."

That's it.

I know how to beat Drix.

[thunderclap]

[Wyldfyre] What do you mean,

"He won't survive much longer"?

Is that med-bot talk for
"He's definitely getting better"?

It is not. It is only a matter of time

before Roby's vital signs will cease.

The same for the dragon.

Wrong answer. There has to be
something we can do.

Check all those boring books again.

We have searched every volume
in the library

several times for any--

Check them again!

Read this. Read that.

Already read it. Waste of my time.

- [dragon shrieking]
- What--?

You're worried about your friend too, huh?

Hey! Don't do that!

[squawking]

And… done.

[grumbling contentedly]

Personal reward time!

Mm, candied zip-flies!

Whoa! Wha-wha whoa…

[skidding]

[Mr. Frohicky] Careful! I just waxed the--

Oh, my mirror finish!

This is a shoes-off temple!

Aah!

Tragically, my polishing skills
are unparalleled.

My apolish-gies.

[chortling]

Master Zane, did you get that?

Wha-ha-ha!

Zane, how long will Lloyd's plan take?

Set-up should only take a few minutes,
if all goes as intended.

We have only done this once before,

and it was not intentionally
planned that time.

- A few minutes is all I need.
- Whaa!

[Nya] For what?

To build you all something

to even the odds against Drix
and the Dragonians.

Whoa!

You all heard Zane.
We only have a few minutes

to grab supplies, weapons,
anything you need.

Meet back in the Dragon Stables!

[all slipping]

[sighing]

Well, I wasn't really interested
in personal rewards anyway.

Back to work.

Aah! Ow.

[wistful music playing]

[peaceful music playing]

[laughing]

[munching]

[munching]

Sorry, just came to grab some parts.

You know, I missed this swing.

When we didn't know what happened to you,

I'd sometimes imagine you sitting there.

It's good to see you back.

I'm not back.

I'm not sure I could ever stay
in Master Wu's monastery again,

knowing what he did.

Arin, I know I lied to you.

I let you think you hit Ras with the--

Sora, please.

I really need to apologize.

No. You don't.

I'm the one who needs to apologize.

I was so upset and… embarrassed.

I overreacted, when you were just trying

to make me feel good about myself…

like you always do.

Ever since I was a kid,

I had this dream of being a Ninja,

and then, somehow, I got my chance, and…

Sora, do you have any idea
how heartbreaking it is

to find out you're not very good
at the thing you love the most?

But you are a good Ninja.

I'm getting better now.

And Ras, of all people,
is helping me do it.

He showed me that I was
holding myself back.

Holding my emotions back.

You've never held back how you feel, Arin.

You're the sweetest person I've ever met.

Not those kind of emotions.

My anger. The hate I feel deep inside.

The stuff I never show.

It gives you a burst of force.

A fuel I've never had before.

[Sora] Look, you know me.
I'm not the best at training.

That's not true.

Last week, I failed
a Spinjitzu exercise so hard,

I got dizzy and barfed all over Zane.

Okay. Gross.

It's fine, he froze it
so it was easier to clean up.

The point is I don't know training,

but I do know you.

There's no way hate and anger
are your greatest strengths.

The Arin I know, my best friend,

his strength comes from his kindness.

His generosity.

His hope.

But all that didn't help me.

It helped me.

And it helped everyone who ever met you.

- [running footsteps]
- [Nya] Come on.

They've almost got it.

This was truly an inspired idea, Lloyd.

Only if it works.

You think that thing
will generate enough power?

Like the time you carried
Source Dragon energy.

Not something I plan on doing
ever again, thank you.

I believe I can increase
the power of our Portal Gate

enough to get all of us and our gear

through to the First Land Monastery.

Let's just hope it's in enough time
to cut off Drix.

[powering up]

Whoo-hoo-hoo! These new gliders
are awesome, Sora!

All thanks to Arin
for getting us a prototype!

Any time!

Alright, let's get back those blades,
stop the Forbidden Five--

[Kai] And get busy saving the world!

[all] Ninja, go!

…zero research, no proper testing,

absolutely no prior experience,

your lack of a medical degree
from an accredited university.

Shall I continue with my list

of why this course of action
is ill-advised?

Ill-advised actions are
my favorite kind of actions.

That fact will now go
on the top of my list.

You got any better ideas, Dr. Robot?

'Cause if I don't at least try this,

Roby is definitely gonna die.

There are no courses of action
to my knowledge

that would save Roby.

That's what I thought. Please work.

[crying out]

Blech! I hate sand on my tongue.

Looks like that's the center of the winds.

And I'm guessing where
Thunderfang is imprisoned.

If he's still imprisoned.

We'd know if he was free.

[Zane] Then your idea worked, Lloyd.
Drix has not yet arrived.

How cool is this?

Getting dust blown in our faces?

I can think of cooler things.

No, being on an adventure with the Ninja.

Talk about a childhood dream come true.

[Arin sighs]

I didn't know dreams
could get so complicated.

- Blame me, buddy.
- For what?

For making you think
Ras's teachings weren't trash.

I'm a stronger Ninja now
than I ever was before.

If you think Ras can teach you
to be a better Ninja than Lloyd,

maybe you don't understand
what a Ninja really is.

[Zane] Everyone…

They're here.

He's waking up!

[Roby] What happened?

I felt like I had a fever.

What happened is you're beautiful again!

I thought that Kur lady
unstanged my zoot for good.

Yeah, well, I used my vast knowledge

of science and medicine
to cure your decay.

- That is not what happ--
- Vast knowledge.

So, how we feeling?

Healed, totally fine?

Uh, I think so,

but why, you got somewhere to be?

The Ninja ran off to fight

some giant dragon
that shoots chaos storms,

and without me--

There's no way they can survive
without their best Ninja.

Go! I'll be fine.

[dramatic music playing]

[revving]

[struggling]

[Drix] Impossible!

I left you behind in the World Forest!

You couldn't have beaten me here!

Ninja are full of surprises!

[roaring]

[Drix] Attack!

I'll go low, you go--

High! Just like in the Crossroads!

[snarling]

Whaa!

[Kai] Hey! Don't hog all the fun!

Did you see that?

My Spinjitzu looked
more awesome than usual!

[Lloyd] It's a First Land thing.

You get used to it!

[Arin] Whoa, whoa, I need him!

Whew!

Sorry, I'm canceling the appointment

you and those blades have
with Thunderfang.

[chuckling]

The conqueror's path is rarely
a straight line.

[Riyu screeching]

[Zane] If you did not understand Riyu,

he said we hypothesized

you would try to escape via this route.

[Kur] Told you he'd be late.

[Nokt] Late? I'm betting he failed.

Arin! Free your master!

[Drix crying out]

[Lloyd] Thought you might do that!

One down, one to go!

[grunt]

[thud]

[Lloyd] Ninja, we got this!

[laughing wickedly]

[gasps]

That belongs to us!

Those things aren't yours just 'cause
you want them really bad, Rox.

[Kai] I'm not great at math,
but we are way outnumbered here.

[Nokt] Time for a rematch, girl.

[beeping]

Remind you of that time
I saved you from those bullies?

Uh… why you gotta bring that up?

Now, who do we have here?

I brought you a present, Nokt.

Priorities, priorities.

I can take him from here.

[grunting]

No! Focus on what matters!

Oh, so impulsive, and so foolish.

Waah!

Ugh!

I've been waiting a long time for this.

[grunting]

I have no interest
in fighting someone weakened…

like you did to me
with that control collar.

I should never have freed you.

Aw, that hurts.
Because if you didn't free me,

we'd never have moments like this!

[grunting]

[Drix crying out]

[Arin] Sorry, lady!

[Rox] You little runt!

Don't you know who you are messing w--

Unh!

I've got it!

[Arin] Riyu!

Arin, we'll hold them off!

Get back to the Monastery with those!

On it!

Ras… no…

Now, Lord Ras,

let me show you what real power can--

[grunting]

Arin, no!

Gaah!

Now the little underling
wants to save his master?

Let him go!

I don't take orders from you.

I don't take orders from anyone.

Then I'll force you to stop.

[laughing]

I see you're a comedian.

It's not fun--

[crying out]

[laughing]

Come, my brethren! It is time!

[Kai crying out]

Come on! We've gotta stop them!

[struggling]

[Lloyd screaming]

[shrieking]

[struggling]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[crying out]

[impact]

P.I.X.A.L.! Zane! Hold tight!

[uplifting music]

[pounding]

Aah!

[smashing]

[smashing]

[roaring]

The powers you promised…

My minions,

you are such fools.

If you really trusted me,

you are even more pathetic
than I realized.

[roaring]

[all screaming]

[roaring]
