[tense music]

All those scrolls you had Lloyd running around with,

is this what you were researching?

Mm, not sure I can pull it off.

It's arriving too soon. Too soon!

What are you saying?

Raccoon? Baboon?

-[crate clatters] -[Master Wu yelps]

[gasps] Only unity can save us.

Separate, we have no chance.

[thunder crashing]

[knocking]

Ugh, do you know what time it is?

Trying to get my beauty sleep here. Boss!

Bunch of jerks that apparently don't care about my beauty

are here to see you.

-We've come for Jay. -Whatever you've done to him--

Me? The Merge left Jay Walker without his memory.

Lost, alone, friendless.

I found him. Helped him when no one else did.

Where were you?

He's one of us, Ras. Let him out.

Too late. He's gone.

Jay was here for one purpose... to win matches.

He failed that purpose, so I sent him away.

[chain clacking]

If you truly value Jay,

leave the games and go after him.

-Come on, we need to... -[Riyu rumbles]

What? Maybe we can catch up to Jay before daylight.

Nya, Ras is playing us.

He sent Jay away because he wants us to go after him.

Which we will, right?

Jay needs us.

Not only has he lost his memories,

he used the Gong of Shattering!

We have to find a way to heal his inner goodness!

We have to save him!

We do, but this tournament

is a threat to the Source Dragons,

to the Merged Lands themselves.

If our world is destroyed, there will be no Jay to save.

Before everything changed, Master Wu told me,

"Only unity can save us."

Without Jay, we aren't united.

When the games are over, when the world is saved,

we'll find Jay. I promise.

-[tender music] -[footsteps clicking]

-What's wrong? -During their fight,

Jay told Nya he worked at the Administration.

Wait. Jay is Agent Walker?

Yeah, the only person who might know

what happened to my parents.

Great. So when this is all over, we'll go find him.

Then we can find your parents!

But when will this all be over?

Lloyd promised we'd find my parents before.

Now he promised Nya we'd find Jay.

But something always gets in the way.

♪ Lost in the unknown So much to see ♪

♪ Together we will rise ♪

♪ We fight ♪

♪ Be a ninja for what's right ♪

[flame roaring]

-[metal creaking] -[Nya grunting]

Nya's training technique

appears more aggressive than usual.

-[Nya yelling and screaming] -[wood cracking]

You mean angrier? I can't blame her.

She's working through some stuff.

She asked to be left alone.

[Zane] But the games will resume shortly.

She'll be there when we need her. She always is.

-[Nya yelling] -[fists thumping]

Poison, Shade, and, what does this guy have again?

Elemental power of looking mean?

Ugh! This is impossible!

There's too many! [groans]]

Sora, studying your opponents is good prep,

but you gotta find calm.

Master Wu once said, "The garden of confidence

grows in the soil of calm, not the rocks of panic."

My confidence isn't a garden. It isn't even a shrub.

I'm pretty much all rocks of panic.

What if I'm up against Cinder or Nokt?

They can do Shatterspin! I can't even do Spinjitzu!

These games are often not about strength,

but about out-maneuvering your opponent.

Zane's right. And Spinjitzu is within your reach.

You've got the fundamentals down.

Look, I know the games are getting more intense

and it's affecting all of us.

But remember, we're here for more than just this competition.

The mystery of the Matriarch's death

is somehow connected to the games.

And Ras wants to win badly,

so our job is to make sure he doesn't.

Even if it means winning ourselves. We can do this.

And he doesn't think he's a good leader.

[Kai] Riyu? Can you hear me?

[Riyu grumbles]

Riyu, don't give up.

We have to tell you something

before the other three come back.

[fireworks exploding]

Are you ready? I think you're. Yeah!

When they talk about the Tournament of the Sources,

they often say "legendary" and "mythic."

But now they'll also say "mega-tight" and "stang-zoot,"

a new word I just made up.

Let the games continue!

Get your umbrella hats on

'cause it's about to rain elemental powers!

First up today, it's the ninja with cat ears and no fears.

Sora, Elemental Master of Technology!

[crowd whooping and cheering]

-All right, Sora. -You can do this.

Versus the liquid warrior who will never bore ya'.

From the Azure Reef,

it's Kizzy, Elemental Master of Balance!

-You can do this. -You got this, Sora.

[crowd cheering]

Okay, maybe I can do this.

These two masters

will face the high-wire obstacle extravaganza.

The first to beat their opponent to the finish line

and kick the kettle drum wins.

Stang-zoot, am I right?

[spirited music]

-[bell clangs] -Go, go, go, go!

[Sora yelps]

[tense music]

-[Kizzy whirring] -[crowd applauds]

[Sora] Whoa.

Sora's competing against the Elemental Master of Balance

on a tightrope.

How is this even fair?

Have some faith in her.

Let's hope she has faith in herself.

[metallic clanging]

[Sora] If Kizzy can use her elemental power, so can I!

[Roby] What's this? Our Elemental Master of Tech

is turning her obstacle into a tool!

"Noice!"

[Sora screams, groans]

-[flames hissing] -[Kizzy whirring]

[Roby] Whoa, Kizzy's showing the fighting spirit

that makes the Reefling Water-Tides

the Lords of Coral Corral!

[weapon whirring]

[flames booming]

[Sora groans]

Sorry, can't hang. Got a drum to kick!

Just like Rontu taught me. Jump, spin-kick, and through!

-[Sora groans] -[flames booming]

[jubilant music]

We have a winner.

[crowd cheering]

No hard feelings, Kiz?

Master Kizzy, transfer time.

[powers crackling]

Sora, you are now the Elemental Master of Technology

and Balance.

Up next, she's smoking hot and likes to fight a lot.

It's Wyldfyre, Elemental Master of Heat!

Oh, yeah.

Versus the cloudy man with the smoky hands!

Cinder, Elemental Master of, poof, Smoke.

Yes, finally! Payback time!

[Roby] Whoo, a classic. Capture the flag!

First to get it out of the circle wins!

Wyldfyre, I know you're itching to take revenge for Kai,

but we got bigger things to focus on.

Just go for the flag and win the game.

Don't worry, coach. I'll cream him.

[bell clangs]

-[flames hissing] -[tense music]

Wyldfyre, just grab the flag before it's too late

-and they use the... -[gong clangs]

-Oh, no. -Oh, yeah.

[Cinder booms]

-[Wyldfyre yelps] -[crowd clapping]

[Wyldfyre groans]

[Cinder whirs and booms]

[tense music continues]

-[crowd gasps] -C'mon on, Wyldfyre. Get up!

-[Cinder booms] -[Wyldfyre yelps]

[all gasping]

-[crowd cheering] -We have a winner. Whoop!

[gasps] What happened?

Are you okay?

I'm totally stang-zoot.

That curtain of fire was amazing, BT-dub.

Sorry, but I have to transfer your powers now.

-[Wyldfyre sighs] -[powers crackling]

[crowd cheering]

-[powers crackling] -[jubilant music]

[scoffs] They shouldn't even be allowed

to use the Gong of Shattering. It's not fair.

I thought the same thing after Jay used it,

but in combing through the rules,

I found there is technically no prohibition

on the use of such items, which Ras must have known.

[sniffs] Do you guys smell that?

[sniffs] It's not me, right? I never know when it's me.

[wind whooshing]

The loser and her loser friends.

What do you want, Cinder?

Hey, if it helps,

you never stood a chance in there, kid.

Your mentor was Kai.

Get taught by a loser, all you learn is how is lose, right?

[Wyldfyre yells]

[laughs] You seriously just tried to blast your power?

You forgot already?

Bet I already know how to use this power better than you.

[fireball booms]

[security bots chittering]

Dragons don't need fire to fight. [groans]

[Cinder yelps]

-What the...? -[Cinder yelping and groaning]

[hover plate whirring]

[groans] Please don't hurt me.

I just wanted to say congratulations.

Please, please! Mercy!

Such behavior defies logic.

Break up those rabble-rousers.

Ninja, ganging up on the victor that defeated your teammate.

We haven't seen such unsportsmanlike behavior

in generations.

No, you've got it all wrong.

[growling]

Lloyd, it's a set-up!

Don't foist your excuses off on us.

We saw the whole thing on-screen!

Bullying isn't tolerated.

It's disqualification and immediate exile.

But we didn't, that's not--

Security bots, escort the ninja beyond the city gates!

[security bots chittering]

Halt! I invoke article 764!

The Cavern Run? No one's done that in eons.

I totally know the rule book inside and out

but for those who might not have devoted

the hours of patient study, I definitely have, please fill us in?

It is a trial of worthiness.

Compete in a dangerous, high-speed vehicle race

through deadly caverns, beat the clock,

and get immunity from exile.

A desperate race against the odds? Pure drama!

Stang-zoot, let's do it!

But it's. But, uh...

Come on, Uncle Bleckt,

you love old-school traditional rules.

This is your jam!

[sighs] I cannot deny the legitimacy of article 764.

Yes! We race tonight.

I knew my games would be the sweetest ever.

Sounds like we need a vehicle.

One problem, we don't have a vehicle.

I'd let you use mine, but it got trashed on our way up here.

Bleckt told me they dumped it in their junkyard.

[laughs] Thanks, Bleckt.

There's a junkyard up here?

That might be exactly what's needed

for someone with Elemental Technology powers.

[footsteps slapping]

[Kai] Riyu, we're putting all our hope in you. Please!

[Riyu whimpers]

-[weapons whooshing] -[footsteps tapping]

[Riyu whimpers]

[crowd chattering]

Still don't have any wheels?

You gonna beat the Cavern Run on foot?

[engine revving]

-[engine roaring] -[tires screeching]

[crowd cheering]

[bold music]

Whoa!

What were you saying, Cinder?

[crowd cheering]

Arin, all eyes will be on the race,

including theirs.

So it's a good time for a certain detective

to do some detectiving.

I know that's not a word, but it sounded right in the moment.

Detective-away.

Racers, to your vehicle!

[engine revving]

The ninja will be racing the clock, right?

Well, meet the clock!

The Pace Dragon!

That racing stripe? My addition.

The Pace Dragon will fly the course

at the exact rate needed to win the race.

If the ninja beat the Pace Dragon, victory!

Zero-percent exile!

High stakes, Lloyd.

Win this, the ninja are still in the games.

Lose, you're out.

Do you have the leadership skills

to get your team across the finish line in time?

[Lloyd] Guess we'll find out.

Yes, yes, we will!

Pure drama. Stang-zoot!

[crowd cheering]

Three, two, one. Go, go, go!

-[engine roaring] -[crowd cheering]

Whoo-hoo.

[spirited music]

-[tires squealing] -[engine roaring]

Bye-bye, buddy. See you at the finish line.

[tense music]

[rattling]

-Riyu? -[Riyu grumbles]

I was wondering where you were. So you're investigating too?

[Riyu chitters]

[footsteps]

[door swishing]

Okay, I'm searching for anything that connects Ras

to what happened with the Matriarch or the attacker bots.

-[Kai] Can you hear me? -[Riyu grumbles]

Well, what is it? You hear something?

[Kai] It's Riyu.

[Riyu rumbling]

I don't hear anything, buddy.

[Kai] Are you there, boy?

Um, okay, I guess you're working on your own lead.

[soft footsteps]

Sora was right. Frak is working for Ras.

[gasps] Doesn't he know the guy is pure evil?

Is Frak evil now too?

-[Riyu sniffing] -[footsteps]

[Riyu grumbles]

[Kai] Riyu. I hear you, buddy!

Ah, it's like you're right next to me all of a sudden

[Riyu whining]

Riyu, what's going on? Are you talking to a stone?

'Cause, no judgment, but that's kind of weird.

[Riyu chittering]

[Kai] What? Is someone with you?

I can only hear you.

I don't get it. It's just a stone.

I've never seen one glow like that before though.

What's it made of?

[Riyu growling]

[tense music]

[engine roaring]

[Sora] You know, they had me worried,

but this race is a breeze.

We are so far ahead of that Pace Dragon.

And according to this, we're heading into the Green Zone.

Huh, sounds pleasant.

[engine roaring]

-[goo squelching] -[tires squealing]

Huh? Wait, toxic goo?

Not pleasant. Way not pleasant.

-[engine roaring] -[dramatic music]

Arin and his pet dragon. Just like I suspected.

Did your master, Lloyd, set you up for this?

Sending in one of the youngest ninja,

and the only one without an elemental power,

into enemy territory

seems like Lloyd's brand of leadership.

I didn't need powers to take you out

at the Ritual of the Blood Moon.

[scoffs] She really never told you.

You didn't hit me.

Your little friend used her tech abilities

to power the object that struck me.

No, I did it! Sora would've told me if I didn't.

[Kai] Riyu, what's going on? Is... Is something happening?

I can't hear you.

Sora is hiding the truth from you.

Yet another lie from your so-called teammates.

Covering up for their inability to train you, perhaps?

I get all the training I need.

Arin, you know that's not true.

The cycle of mastery eludes you.

You obviously have potential.

If Lloyd Garmadon is incapable of unleashing that potential...

[sighs] ...perhaps you need another master.

One who sees you more clearly.

Who? You?

I'd never join you.

Your friend Frak doesn't have an issue

with being on my side.

He must not know how evil you are!

Is it evil to want to reverse the Merge?

Wait, you wanna what?

[Riyu grumbles]

-[engine roaring] -[tires squealing]

[Sora] Hold tight.

[dramatic music]

[goo squelching]

-[engine roaring] -[tires squealing]

[Lloyd] Sora, up front!

[Sora] Oh, no!

You speak of evil.

The Merge, that was truly an act of evil.

And since the Merge is what took your parents away from you,

I'm surprised you'd ever side

with the students of the very person that caused it.

[Arin] What?

You don't know?

Your ninjas' beloved mentor, Master Wu.

If it wasn't for him,

your parents never would have been lost.

What are you talking about?

The Merge was caused by Master Wu.
