Huh? "An invitation

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps tapping]

[suspenseful music]

You think this junk still works?

Cease the doubting. It will.
[laughing maniacally]

[electricity zapping]

[robot humming]

- [fireball thuds]
- Eat fire, you no-gooders!

The Red Ninja is here to kick your butts!

Well, Red Ninja-ish.
Meet Wyldfyre!

- [suspenseful music]
- [fireball whooshes]

[suspenseful music]

[fireballs whooshing]

Oh, whoa.

[suspenseful music]

Get back here!

Maybe Kreel will like these
mechs better all burnt up.

[suspenseful music]

[fireballs whooshing]

- [Nya] Ninja go!
- [air whooshing]

Nya, so glad you're here!

Not that I needed help.
Uh... I didn't!

[fireballs whooshing]

[water whooshing]

Oh, yikes, a real Ninja!

Let us flee!

That hurt my feelings!

- [fireball whooshing]
- [suspenseful music]

I Red Ninja'd!

Kai would be honored you're trying

to take up the mantle of
the Red Ninja, Wyldfyre.

He should be.

But maybe you should wait

until you get a little more training.

You haven't mastered Spinjitzu yet,

and I'd hate to see you get hurt.

Wyldfyre does not get hurt!

You were on a crutch for weeks.

I mean, I don't get hurt anymore.

Hasn't Lloyd been teaching you

to focus more on your fire precision?

I'm precise.
I'm the most precise!

[robot crashes]

And what about your weapon training?

There's more to being a
Ninja than Elemental Powers.

I'm the only weapon I need!

Besides, someone has to
carry on Kai's legacy!

It's okay if you miss him.

I do too, more than you could imagine.

Pfft, I don't miss people.

I'm not emotional like that,

but if I did, I'd probably miss Kai.

Who knows, maybe being trapped forever

in the Nether-Space isn't that bad?

Yeah, I knew that sounded
dumb as soon as I said it.

I just hope it's at least
a peaceful place for Kai.

[suspenseful music]

Ugh, this place is infuriating!
[exhales deeply]

[sighs]

[suspenseful music]

We have to be quiet.

If the rest of the Forbidden Five

figure out we're trapped
in here with them,

it won't go well.
For us, I mean.

They'd probably love destroying us.

[suspenseful music]

- [footsteps thudding]
- [Bonzle gasps]

- [ominous music]
- Huh?

I don't think they saw us.

Let's go this way.

[sharp gasp]

- [rocks clattering]
- [ominous music]

Maybe they didn't hear us.

[suspenseful music]

- [gasps] They heard us.
- Run!

[door creaks, thuds]

Mm, what's this, new recipe?

New to you:
Merlopian Berry Creme.

My best friend, Frak,
taught me how to make it.

Your best friend?

[Riyu whimpers]

Besides you two, I mean.

Frak was my bestie before the Merge.

He was as big a ninja fan as me.

Wow, that's saying something.

He'd be so excited for me now.

But he moved away, and we lost touch.

Mm, we'll always have this pie.

[Riyu slurps and gulps]

Okay, then, I'll make more.

I wanna bake everyone a goodbye treat,

before you all head off to
the Tournament of the Sources.

"Goodbye treat?"
You're coming with us, right?

The Tournament is for
Masters of Elemental Powers.

You know, the kind of powers I don't have?

You're the Elemental Master of Pie!

Seriously, though, you have to come.

You're part of the team.

It sounds amazing,

but there's no place for me there, Sora.

- [wings flapping]
- [suspenseful music]

[Motion Dragon]
If you are going to enter

the Tournament of the Sources

to find the villain behind these attacks,

I'd advise you all to find
a Master to lead you.

- [wings whooshing]
- [mysterious music]

[feet thud]

[mysterious music]

[wings whooshing]

Egalt, Rontu, I've come for Zane.

Oh, and Wyldfyre wanted
me to give you this:

Janus Melon Stew.

[Egalt sniffs]

Mm, that was quite kind of her.

[suspenseful music]

Zane! [chuckles]

- [Zane yelps]
- Good to see you, too.

[Zane yelps]

I am in a training exercise, Lloyd!

[suspenseful music]

[wings whooshing]

[Zane yelping]

[suspenseful music]

- [rocks thudding]
- [Zane grunts]

- [air whooshes]
- [rocks thudding]

You're too focused on fighting back!

Try to harmonize with
the motion of the rocks!

- [air whooshing]
- [Zane yelps]

[suspenseful music]

[Zane grunts]

[air whooshing]

[body crashes]

[suspenseful music]

You did it! You mastered
Rising Dragon Technique!

Your last-minute guidance
was most welcome.

[Egalt] Despite my initial misgivings,

all you Ninja have proven
yourselves to be true masters.

I just hope my Rising Dragon

is enough to combat Shatterspin technique.

Well, now that you, me,
Kai, and Nya can do it,

at least we stand a chance

if we ever run into
Ras and his crew again.

But we have more pressing problems now.

Someone k*lled the Matriarch
of the Mountain Dragons

and stole her horns.

They did the same to two other dragons.

Why would someone do such a thing?

We don't know.

But the Motion Source
Dragon came to us for help.

She fears whoever did this

is coming for the Source Dragons next.

There must be grave danger

for a Source Dragon to ask for aid.

If the Source Dragons are destroyed,

it could mean the end of everything.

Are there any suspects?

No, but we believe whoever did it

is entering the Tournament of the Sources,

which is why I'm here.

For most of my life, we had
a great master, Master Wu,

but we lost him in the Merge.

He disappeared or worse.

So I'm formally asking,

will you be our Masters in
the Tournament of the Sources?

- [suspenseful music]
- No.

Thank you. What?

[Egalt] We have nothing more to teach you.

You, Lloyd, must be
the one to lead the Ninja.

It is your duty.

- But I'm no Master.
- No?

No!

- [Egalt roars]
- What are you doing?

- [foot thuds]
- [Lloyd panting]

[Zane yelps]

[suspenseful music]

- [Lloyd grunts]
- [wing crashes]

[Lloyd yelps]

[tail crashes]

[Lloyd grunting]

[suspenseful music]

- [air whooshing]
- [Lloyd grunts]

You just beat two of the greatest warriors

that ever lived.

Granted, we are not in our prime.

Now give me that stew.

You didn't spill a drop.

[slurping] Excellent.

You passed our test, Master Lloyd.

[mysterious music]

My Master Wu was a true Master.

I'm not ready.

You've faced much in your young life

and have lost much--

Your master, teammates, friends--

And because of that,

you fear you won't be
able to protect everybody.

Your heart is too big, Lloyd.

Which is exactly why
you must lead the Ninja.

It is why you are the one to carry on

the legacy of your beloved Master Wu.

But what if I face
a problem I can't handle?

What if I fail?

We have faith you will

rise to the challenge, Master Lloyd.

You always do.

Is this really necessary?

The Dragon Masters showed me

there are benefits of stew-jitzu.

Huh, get it?

Ugh.

Come on, let's go!

- [air whooshing]
- [suspenseful music]

[whimsical music]

[slurping] What?

I like what I like:
stew.

[Riyu slurping]

So, Lloyd, I just wanted
to tell you, the tournament.

I, uh, I'm not gonna go.
I don't have an Elemental Power.

Arin, we're not going
to the tournament to win.

- We're not?
- Well, unless we have to win

to bring the Matriarch's
attacker to justice.

Someone k*lled those dragons
and stole their horns.

It's up to us to find out who and why.

Which means you might have
the most important job of all.

To solve the mystery
while you all compete?

Exactly. The Motion Dragon
is relying on us,

and I'm relying on you, Arin.

Okay, that I can do.

My parents were huge mystery fans,

always reading detective books,

teaching me how investigations work.

This is all me...

and now I won't feel
so useless at the tournament.

You're never useless, Arin.

Now get packing.

It's time for us to go.

[mysterious music]

[engine roaring]

[grunts] We're here.

According to the Motion Source Dragon,

that waterfall is the way
to the tournament somehow.

We're gonna meet all kinds
of new Elemental Masters!

Ah, this is gonna be so cool.

Remember, not every Master is an ally.

- Cinder could be here, or--
- Euphrasia.

Yes, she might be here,
but she is our friend.

I am only listing enemies.

Not might be.

She is here, look!

[air whooshing]

[suspenseful music]

- [slot rumbles]
- [scroll clinks]

[door rumbles]

[suspenseful music]

[Cole] Whoa!

[squeals] Could this get any cooler?

And you were thinking
about not even coming.

Let's go.

[Nya] Guess the tournament
is on top of that cliff?

So, let's do this.

Uh, how do we do this?

[mysterious music]

Take us to the tournament!

Please?

Euphrasia put something
in here, some kind of scroll.

Hey, look at this!

Hello, can anyone hear me?

[mysterious music]

We are here for the tournament!

[door rumbling]

Hello, I am Bleckt, Minister of Ledgering

for the Tournament of the Sources.

Great, and you're in charge
of the guest list, sir?

Not just the guest list,
all lists, tabulations,

Itineraries, agendas, and inventories

fall under my duties with the ledger.

The tournament has been run

by my family for generations untold.

For each tournament, our city
would rotate to another Realm,

and invitations would go
out by spirit dragon courier

to all Elemental Masters there.

Although now all the Elemental Masters

are in the same Merged Lands.

So more invitations have
gone out than ever before.

Well, it appears your spirit
dragons didn't get to us.

Oh, well, there's a simple
solution to that.

Great, 'cause I was afraid

this was gonna be a whole thing.

The solution is you go away.

If you didn't get an invitation,
you are not invited.

My dude, we're definitely
esteemed Elemental Masters,

so we must be invited.

Please don't make a fuss.

From the look of you,

you wouldn't be up to the
challenge of the games anyway.

Whoa, who are you,
the Elemental Master of Shade?

No, that's the Elemental Master of Shade.

Welcome, Mistress Obscuria!

See you in the City of Temples.

[door rumbles]

[mysterious music]

Now please leave and stop wasting my time.

[door closes loudly]

Oh, man, I was really hoping to see

who's at the tournament.

We're not done yet.

[suspenseful music]

[mechanism rumbles]

[scroll clinks]

[air whooshes]

[Nya] Now!

[suspenseful music]

[metal clangs]

[tires screeching]

[Arin] We're doing it!
I knew we'd find a way-- [yelps]

Warning, warning, intruder alert!

[Zane] This situation
is less than optimal.

[g*ns firing]

[Wyldfyre] We're intruders?

You're intruding
on our intrusion! Eat fire!

Uninvited guests are not permitted

in the City of Temples.

- [g*ns firing]
- [suspenseful music]

[Arin] Abandon ship, or, uh, car!

- [g*ns firing]
- [Sora grunts]

[Security Bot] This unit
has an unauthorized rider!

[suspenseful music]

[Arin] Hey, whoa!

Let's see how you like
an Elemental tech remix!

- [Sora yelping]
- [air whooshing]

[grunts] Great, their tech must be so old,

my powers don't work on it or something.

[air whooshing]

[stones crunching]

- [g*ns firing]
- [Jiro roaring]

[Lloyd] Sounds like a plan, Jiro!

Off the dragons, onto the wall, everyone!

- [air whooshing]
- [suspenseful music]

Looks like we have to climb
the rest of the way up.

[Wyldfyre gasps]

- Oh, no, I'm gonna barf.
- You ride dragons.

How are you possibly afraid of heights?

Dragons are the safest

and most solid thing to stand on ever!

This is not!

[air whooshes]

Arin? Arin? Has
anyone seen Arin?

I thought I saw him hitch
a ride straight to the top

on one of those flying bots.

Riyu went after him.

I hope he's okay.

[metal clangs]

[grunts]

[panting, grunting]

[suspenseful music]

- [Spectator 1] Hey!
- [Spectator 2, laughing] Whoo-hoo!

[Spectator 1] Yeah, ha!

People are watching us?

[door rumbles]

[Sora] The gates!

- [Roby vocalizing]
- Your arrival was--

Awesome, incredible,
massively driving engagement!

- Undignified!
- Are you kidding?

Sure, it was different
than the other competitors,

which is exactly what these games need!

These Ninja are disruptors!

Disruption does not impress me.

Ugh, Uncle Bleckt, it's time
to shake this tournament up!

We've established millennia
of sacred traditions!

We do not shake anything up!

Guards, arrest them!

[suspenseful music]

Uh-uh-uh.
Who's in charge here?

Who is in charge here, that kid?

Great to meet you! I'm Roby,
the new Master of Ceremonies

of the Tournament of Sources.

No big deal, but this
is kind of my event now,

and it's a big deal.

My folks retired
to the Kingdom of Madness.

There are amazing deals
on real estate there right now.

They couldn't pass it up.

And they left this tournament to me.

Your uncle doesn't seem
too pleased about that fact.

Yeah, Uncle Bleckt
is a bit of a... mmm...

Wet dragon tail?

If that's your cute way of
saying stick in the mud, 100%.

And I have big plans
to update this tournament.

Consider me the Elemental Master
of Surprise!

J-K, J-K, J-K.

Anyway, this year is just the beginning

of what's gonna become a multimedia,

cross-platform, content-generating event,

and you, my Ninja,
are now part of my plan.

Don't know what happened
to your invitations,

but you are officially invited by me,

the Roby himself, to compete.

Welcome to the tournament!

Bah-bah, bah-bah, bah-bah!

- Now behold the City of Temples!
- [Wyldfyre gasps]

A mix of retro and new. Cool, right?

And the games haven't even started!

Got some big surprises for later.

This is incredible and all,

but we've got a bigger problem.

Where are Arin and Riyu?

- [humming]
- [Riyu whimpers]

This is all just a misunderstanding!

Our invitations got lost, I swear!

[Frak] Arin, is that you?

[Arin] Frak?

h*-h*, it is you!

I haven't seen you since before the Merge!

[exciting music playing]
