[uplifting music]

I take it you got the same message?

From Master Wu?

Saying there'd be special training today?

Yeah, we heard the same thing.

[Zane] I see you received Master Wu's message as well, Jay.

Uh, totally. I wasn't playing video games for so long

my legs went numb and I needed a walk.

That message, which I absolutely got,

is definitely why I'm here.

Excellent. It is time for an important lesson.

Today, we are going to dance.

[group groans]

Not more "Spin Harmony."

Come on, Master Wu, you know I ran away

from that dancing school my dad put me in when I was a kid.

Focus. Just like a warrior, a dancer is completely

in tune with their body.

Dance will only improve your fighting skills.

Plus, you might have fun in the process.

-[record player clicks] -[gentle waltz music]

Now, follow me. One, two, three, one, two, three.

[gentle waltz music continues]

May I have this dance?

[chuckles] Sure.

[gentle waltz music continues]

I will love you forever, Nya.

[ominous music]

Jay! Jay!

Whoop!

[Nya grunts]

Jay!

[Nya gasps]

[giggles] Jay!

♪ Lost in the unknown So much to see ♪

[flame roaring]

[calm music]

Lloyd, I saw Jay.

What? Where?

He went south, but I lost him in the crowd. Come on!

[powerful music]

-[people chattering] -Did he see you?

No, and I didn't see his face, but I'm sure it was him.

I think. I don't know.

Maybe I'm just seeing things.

Jay's been missing since the Merge.

I miss him so much.

We all do.

[calm music continues]

I know Zant-Tanz.

He doesn't have a cruel bone in his body!

Actually, he doesn't have any bones in his body, but that's not the point.

I don't believe he was behind those attacks either,

but who was?

My guess, the same person who's responsible

for attacking the Matriarch,

and his name rhymes with "paws."

Ras, I'm talking about Ras.

Yeah, I gathered that,

but Ras was also attacked last night.

Right. Man, this whole mystery-solving stuff is hard.

My parents were so good at it!

They'd probably solve this thing in a day.

Have you asked the other Ninja for help?

No, Lloyd made this my mission.

If I can't compete in the tournament,

I'm determined to prove myself by solving this mystery.

The safety of the Source Dragons is at stake here.

Come on, Riyu, time to hunt for some clues.

[Riyu grunts]

You're not the only ones with a mystery to solve today.

In all these mystery books, your dad and I are always reading,

the first thing a detective does

is retrace the steps of everyone involved.

Why do you think they do that?

'Cause it might lead to clues,

-to help the detective solve the case? -That's right!

Look at you, already a great little detective, Arin.

[Riyu sniffing]

The attacker must've come through here last night, Riyu.

We need to try and retrace that bot's steps.

-[Riyu squawks] -[gasps] You find something?

[Riyu continues sniffing, squawks]

You found the same scent as last night?

If we can figure out where the attacker came from,

maybe we can figure out who sent them.

-[Riyu continues sniffing] -[dramatic music]

-[Riyu squawks] -Dead end.

Wait. Some kind of symbol scratched into the wall.

I wonder if this is a clue to whoever sent the bot?

Let me copy it down.

Arin! What are you up to?

Oh, Frak, hey!

Riyu and I were just, uh, well...

[chuckles] It's complicated Ninja business, really.

[laughs] Do you know how cool it is

you get to say stuff like that?

My master's been training me hard,

but I'm taking a break to grab a pie.

-Interested? -[Riyu's stomach gurgling]

I might know a dragon who'd be up for a pie or ten.

Let's go!

[bright music]

-[wondrous music] -[Riyu slurping]

[Frak] I can't believe what that Zant-Tanz guy

tried to pull last night.

-Attacker bots? Scary, right? -[Riyu growling]

I don't think Zant-Tanz was behind it.

He's not the aggressive type.

The guy's frightened by sharp corners on tables.

But no one else could have done it.

[Riyu sniffing]

-[Riyu growls] -So, you gotta tell me,

how did you hook up with the Ninja?

And do you freak out about it every day?

Mm, pretty much.

Sora and I met Lloyd while we were trying

to save Riyu here from dragon hunters.

It's been a dream come true, but it's also a lot of work.

Training can be hard.

Tell me about it. You have to meet my master.

I was so clueless and scared by my powers,

and he really helped me out.

He sounds awesome.

-[calm music] -Wyldfyre?

Oh, hey, Arin. [laughs] Didn't see you there.

I'm just doing some mental exercises on my own,

definitely not looking for someone or anything.

This whole tournament is tight, Uncle.

You're a control freak.

Your idea of control is chaos, Roby. I don't like it.

Oh! [giggling]

Hi, Roby.

I was just wandering here randomly,

doing my own thing and not looking for you at all,

but since I'm seeing you now, I just wanted to say

I can't wait to help make your tournament a success.

Oh, thanks. Uh, Wyldfyre, isn't it?

[gasps] That's my name. It's a dragon name.

I was raised by dragons, but I'm not a dragon, as you can see.

Why am I still talking? Stop talking.

My uncle and I were, uh, just about to check out

the games plaza before the first event.

Wanna come with?

Yes, definitely!

I mean, I have a lot of other things I could do,

but they can wait, let's go!

Am I reading into things a bit too much here?

That that girl has a huge crush on Roby?

She might as well be wearing a T-shirt that says "I heart Roby."

Having a crush is the most normal thing I've ever seen her do.

Hey, I better head off to meet my team. Check ya later?

Oh, definitely! Go compete!

[melancholy music]

[sighs] Must be nice having a power to compete with.

[Riyu sighs and grumbles]

[whimsical music]

[Cole] Hmm.

-Huh? -Huh?

Geo? What?

You're here?

My tournament invite showed up after you left.

I figured you'd wind up here, too, so I came.

This is amazing!

Come on, I'm checking out the city

before the competition starts.

[dramatic music]

Whoa!

Check it out, apparently this mech belonged

to a past Elemental Master of Earth.

Someone you knew?

Huh, Elemental Powers are usually

passed down from parents.

I got mine from my mom.

Maybe this was hers. Wow.

[dramatic music]

[furtive music]

[ominous music]

Last night at the banquet, why did you ask me for my help?

What are you talking about? I did no such thing.

But you did. How could you not remember it?

If you think playing mind games

is going to help you Ninja win the tournament,

you're about to be proven brutally wrong.

[ominous music]

I saw that. Does she suspect something?

I don't know. We must be careful.

What are you up to, Jordana?

[mysterious music]

Frak? He's with them?

[sinister music]

[Ninjas grunting]

[calm music]

[panting] Arin! You're not gonna believe this.

That they have Merlopian Cream pies here?

I know! I had three of them!

What? No!

Your old friend, Frak, he's on Ras' team.

No way, that can't be true.

I saw it with my own eyes.

[Riyu growling]

You think so too, Riyu? But Frak is a great guy!

You must've seen something else and got confused.

I didn't. And I wouldn't lie to you, Arin.

We better head over to the games plaza.

First event's coming up, and Roby,

trying to make everything as "exciting as possible,"

won't tell anyone who's competing until the event itself.

-[Arin and Sora sighing] -[Riyu growls]

[calm music]

[ominous music]

[Zarkt] Why the delay? What's taking so long?

[sinister music]

My patience is wearing thin.

[suspenseful music]

You know how one of the five made it out of here,

but we've only ever seen three in here?

Guess that sleeping one is the last of them.

[Bonzle] Sounds like they're talking to someone.

But who? And how?

Make haste. The sooner we are free,

the sooner our brutal dominance can continue.

[ominous music]

They found a way to talk to someone on the outside who could free them?

We gotta check it out.

[powerful music]

-[bright music] -Hey, hey, looking good, looking good!

All engagement is good engagement.

All right, bubbles! Remember, play to the crowds.

The tournament is and always has been

about the honor of Elemental Battle.

It is not "hot."

You're not hot.

This is not how your father ran it.

That's the point.

Hi again, Roby! Hi!

[whimsical music]

-[Cinder grunts] -[Wyldfyre] Oh!

Oops. Sorry.

[Wyldfyre] That was on purpose, Cinder!

So? What are you gonna do about it?

You and your little Ninja friends gonna cry?

[Wyldfyre] Keep talking and you'll be the one crying...

tears of fire!

Hey, hey, hey! Calm it down!

-[Wyldfyre growls] -Tournament rules, remember?

Any battle outside the games will lead to expulsion!

[Wyldfyre growls]

[Wyldfyre grunts]

[dramatic music]

Remember, we aren't here just to win.

We're competing 'cause we believe

whoever's threatening the Source Dragons is here to win

and gain control of all Elemental Powers.

The fate of the entire Merged Lands is in our hands.

Yeah, you should all just use

Rising Dragon technique from the start.

Plow through everyone.

No, Wyldfyre, this is a Tournament of Elements.

Rising Dragon comes from Spinjitzu

and should only be used to defend oneself.

Like if Ras' team uses Shatterspin?

Exactly.

The Motion Source Dragon wanted us to compete honorably,

and that's what we're gonna do.

[inspiring music]

[all] Ninja, go!

Welcome, all you peeps to the starting event

of the first Roby-Certified Tournament of the Sources.

And this first game, we're kicking it old-school.

[crowd cheering]

One-on-one, arena combat, no holds barred!

In the grand tradition of the Tournament of the Sources,

honor and sportsmanship are our--

Ugh, you're making this sound like boring old-school, Uncle Bleckt, listen.

Our first competitor is cold as ice

but computes twice as nice:

Zane, the Titanium Ninja!

-Come on, Zane. You got this. -You can do it!

Facing off against Zane, he's dark, mysterious,

and oh-so-dangerous, the Master of Reflex himself, Zur!

[crowd cheering]

I am limber. I am loose.

-[Zur whooshing] -I am in trouble.

[Lloyd] Don't worry, Zane!

He's got fast reflexes, but ice can slow down anything!

Honored guests and Masters!

Who's ready for the epicness to begin?

-Yeah! -[bell clangs]

[crowd cheering and applauding]

-[dramatic music] -[competitors grunting]

[beams hissing]

-[ice crunches] -[fist thuds]

-[crowd cheering] -[suspenseful music]

-[Zur thuds] -[beam hisses]

-Ooh! -Ooh!

[suspenseful music]

[Zane roars]

[dramatic music]

-[Zane shouts] -[crowd cheering and applauding]

We have a victor! Zur wins!

What an incredible battle! Intense!

Time for the first Elemental Transition!

Behold, the Element Cup! Now, Zane, if you would.

-[beam sizzling] -[dramatic music]

Like every game that has gone before,

the winner gets the Elemental Power of the defeated

to carry into their next competition.

[triumphant music]

[crowd cheering and applauding]

Did Zane's ice melt unnaturally quickly? Looked quick to me.

Told you ya shoulda used Rising Dragon.

Maybe Wyldfyre's right.

She is not. Your leadership is sound, Lloyd.

It is not the Ninja way to use excessive force to fight unfairly.

That was a noble battle that I unfortunately lost,

putting our mission in jeopardy.

Now I can only spectate until my powers return

after the final game.

You did the best you could, Zane.

No one said this was gonna be easy.

I wonder who's up next?

Please welcome to the arena,

she's slick, she's cool, and she's well-hydrated!

Nya, Elemental Master of Water!

I had to ask.

Get psyched, Nya. Ready to go, ready to win.

Looks like Ras might be coaching your opponent.

Whoever it is, I can take 'em.

[suspenseful music continues]

Jay?

[dramatic music]

The most shocking competitor in the tournament,

Jay Walker, Elemental Master of Lightning!

-[lightning sizzling] -[dramatic music]

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[dramatic music continues]

Jay! I knew I saw you.

What are you talking about?

I've never seen you before in my life.

Jay could never forget Nya, or any of us!

Is that some kind of fake Jay? Some loser in a Jay wig?

We don't know what happened to Jay

after he disappeared in the Merge.

[suspenseful music]

I knew the Ninja would never see this coming.

[mysterious music]

[dramatic music]

It's time now for--

[tower clanking]

The Tower Battle!

The first to reach the top of the tower

and get that glorious blinged-out dagger will be...

Hey-o! ...winner!

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[dramatic music]

Lloyd, I can't fight him!

I don't think we have a choice.

[bell clangs]

Jay! It's me, Nya!

Is that supposed to mean something to me, lady? Hiya!

-Ooh! -[Nya thuds]

-[team gasps] -[crowd cheers]

[panting] Jay!

[competitors grunting]

Nya, focus on the dagger!

[suspenseful music]

[Jay grunting]

Jay!

You had a clear shot and didn't take it!

Are you a terrible Ninja?

I don't wanna hurt you. We care too much for each other!

Speak for yourself, lady. Ooh-ah!

-[Jay grunting] -Oh, look out!

My Master, Ras, told me you'd lie to me,

try to use mind games on me.

You won't shake my confidence!

I don't believe a word you say!

[grunts] Ras is the one lying to you!

You're a Ninja who disappeared after the Merge!

Jay, you're the love of my life.

Ugh, as if! Ras told me the truth.

I was a great warrior,

fighting alongside my Master in the Wyldness.

When the Merge happened, I lost my memory

and ended up in some place called The Administration.

[mysterious music]

The Administration? Jay is Agent Walker?

[dramatic music]

-[both grunting] -[fists thudding]

I escaped from there,

then Lord Ras found me and rescued me!

[Nya grunts]

I owe it to Ras to win this tournament, whatever it takes.

Jay, no! Don't do that!

[ominous music]

He's gonna shatter his goodness!

I'm afraid he already has.

[ominous music continues]

[gong clangs]

[dramatic music]

-[crowd cheering] -Ooh-ah!

-[fist thuds] -[Nya grunts and thuds]

-[foot thuds] -[Nya thuds]

[dramatic music]

You don't leave me any choice, Jay.

[inspiring music]

[triumphant music]

-[Jay shouts] -[crowd cheering and applauding]

-Wow! -Whoo-hoo!

Wow, didn't a super-smart and good-looking Ninja here

say Rising Dragon technique would be epic?

[triumphant music]

[crowd cheering and applauding]

[triumphant music continues]

-Yes! -Whoo-hoo!

[Ras growls]

[triumphant music continues]

We have a winner! Nya, Master of Water!

Woot-woot! Spa-lash!

-[tower clanking] -[triumphant music continues]

[beam sizzles]

[crowd cheering and applauding]

The thrills keep coming!

Jay is now without his Elemental Powers,

and Nya now controls water and lightning!

Show us, Nya!

[triumphant music continues]

-[calm music] -[crowd cheering]

I didn't rescue you so you could disappoint me, Jay.

I do not tolerate failure.

I'm sorry, Lord Ras.

Sorry is not good enough.

[calm music continues]

She won. We're doing what the Source Dragon asked of us.

So why does this just feel empty?

Because we might have won the match, but we lost Jay.

Jay, I know you lost your memory,

but you need to know the truth.

I love you. I will always love you.

And I will always hate you.

[mysterious music]

[Ras growls]

[Roby whooshes]

[eerie music]

Is she asleep, or...

She's breathing, but she's totally out of it or something.

Hello? Boo!

Nope, she's out.

What is that? Lint?

Huh, must be scales from Riyu,

from when he tried to keep me from getting sucked into the portal.

[liquid bubbling]

Those scales, you have a physical connection

to someone outside of here.

Maybe we can communicate with Riyu.

[eerie music]

[fireworks booming and whistling]

[Kai] Riyu?

[Riyu whimpers]

[Kai] Riyu, can you hear us?

-It's Kai and Bonzle. Hello? -[Riyu squawks]

[music playing]
