Force From the East/Transcript

(In the Rookery, Geo looks at a photo of him, Cole, and the other Finders. He then reminisces about the time they fought the Hoarder and Dr. LaRow.)
Past Geo: Cole! You okay?
Past Cole: I'm fine, Geo.
(Geo thinks back to the time that he was electrocuted by a drone while trying to get the third Dragon Core from LaRow, and then being caught on Jiro while falling. Bonzle opens the door to the Rookery.)
Bonzle: When's dinner, Geo? I set the table. Fancy.
(Geo and Bonzle walk out of the Rookery and head to the table.)
Geo: Ugh. I'm not even sure what we've got to eat around here, Bonzle.
Bonzle: Eh, whatever. I don't eat much anyway.
Geo: And I don't cook much. Cole was the real chef in this place. But his old teacher's mysterious voice calling out to him to follow had to be important. Right?
Bonzle: Unless it was a trap and Cole's never coming back.
Geo: Why do you say stuff like that?
(Bonzle shrugs.)
Bonzle: Anyhow, if dinner isn't ready, maybe you have time to check out the new arrivals.
Geo: Another trash geyser brought some more lost items?
(Bonzle pulls out a screwdriver and a twig.)
Bonzle: Yep. Bunch of new stuff just turned up.
(Bonzle throws the items to Geo.)
Geo: New stuff means more stuff to make art.
(Geo uses his Fusion powers and combines the fork, screwdriver, and twig to make a easel for the photo of him and the Finders.)
Geo: And that's way more fun than making dinner.
(The Finders walk through the Land of Lost Things to find any useful items.)
Spitz: Ah, I just love the smell of new old stuff in the morning.
(Geo pushes a wrecked car away and finds a piece of the portal gate from Imperium's monastery.)
Geo: Ooh, check this out. Kinda looks familiar.
Bonzle: You have another piece of that thing in our art yard.
Geo: Right, they must go together! Companion piece!
(Geo takes the piece of the portal gate and uses his powers to attach the piece to the other piece.)
Geo: There, it's like a set! Cool?
Bonzle: Yep, like a family all together. Like us.
Geo: Well, "us" when Cole gets back.
Bonzle: If he gets back.
Geo: Really?
(Bonzle shrugs again.)
(Bonzle and Geo look up to see the Cloud Kingdom floating over them.)
Spitz: A cloud can't be lost, can it, Geo?
Geo: That's no cloud. It's a city. Might be the Cloud Kingdom Cole told me about. He said the Cloud Monks there were nice.
(An anchor from the floating kingdom hits the ground, causing the Finders to fall. Several Wolf Mask Warriors run down the chain towards the Finders.)
Bonzle: They don't look very nice.
----
(Elsewhere, the ninja are fighting the dragon in front of the metal door. The dragon continues firing ice blasts at them.)
Sora: Arin, look out!
(The ninja dodge the dragon's blasts.)
Arin: W-w-wait! We mean no harm!
(The dragon screeches and knocks the ninja to the ground.)
Wyldfyre: He'll listen to me. I speak dragon!
(Wyldfyre makes random noises, only for the dragon to growl and attack with his claws. Riyu dodges the attack.)
Sora: He did not like whatever you said, Wyldfyre.
(The dragon continues firing ice blasts.)
Kai: What's his problem?
Nya: Maybe he thinks we broke into his house. I'd be a little peeved too.
(Lloyd uses Spinjitzu on the dragon. Kai and Nya charge at the dragon, using their Fire and Water powers respectively. The dragon blocks the powers with his wing. The dragon knocks Kai down and prepares to fire an ice blast at him. Nya uses her powers to prevent the dragon from firing the blast.)
Kai: Thanks.
(The ninja continue fighting the dragon and dodging his ice blasts.)
Lloyd: Come on! If my vision was right, the teacher we need is supposed to be on the other side of that gate!
(Lloyd and Arin try to open the gate, only to find it locked.)
Lloyd: Feels like it's sealed shut! We need to find whatever's keeping it from opening.
(Lloyd spots a bucket attached to a mechanism near the top of the gate.)
Lloyd: That bucket!
(The other ninja continue dodging the attacks of the dragon.)
Kai: This landscaping choice is not battle-friendly.
Sora: These aren't ordinary boulders. They look like they were put here on purpose.
(Lloyd picks a boulder up.)
Lloyd: It does look like they were put here on purpose.
(Lloyd throws the boulder up to the bucket, only for the dragon to hit it away with its tail.)
Nya: What are you doing, Lloyd?
Lloyd: I'm pretty sure if that basket is weighed down by the boulders, it'll pull the chain and open the gate. It was set up this way on purpose.
Sora: But that's not gonna happen if the dragon keeps blocking the stones.
Lloyd: Let's work together! Some of us distract the dragon, the rest of us get those rocks!
Nya: Sora, you're up!
(Nya hands her boulder to Sora, while the other ninja uses Spinjitzu. Wyldfyre uses her Heat blasts on the dragon. Kai hands a boulder to Wyldfyre. Riyu rushes to the gate and backflips at the bucket, allowing Wyldfyre to throw the boulder in the bucket.)
Wyldfyre: Score! World record!
(Wyldfyre lands back on Riyu as the gate cracks open. Arin Spinjitzus in front of the gate.)
Arin: Got it, Sora?
Sora: I've always got you, Arin.
(Sora jumps on Arin's hands, allowing her to dunk her boulder into the bucket. The gate cracks open a bit further. Arin and Sora high five each other. The ninja continue to fight the dragon.)
Lloyd: It's working!
(The dragon roars at Lloyd from behind, but Kai uses his powers to distract the dragon. The dragon fires his ice blasts at Kai and Nya while Lloyd dunks another boulder into the bucket, cracking the gate even further.)
Kai: Cover me!
(While the other ninja uses Spinjitzu to distract the dragon, Kai Spinjitzus over to the gate and throws his boulder into the bucket. The gate opens even further.)
Lloyd: One more boulder should be enough to open it for us to get through.
Arin: On it, Lloyd!
(Arin picks up a boulder and runs towards the dragon.)
Arin: Ooh, am I going over here? Or over here? Oh, I was going a secret third way!
(Arin tries to go under the dragon's stomach, only to get grabbed by his claws.)
Arin: Aw, come on!
(The dragon throws Arin and fires an ice blast at him, which he dodges.)
Nya: I got this, Arin!
(Nya picks up a boulder, dodges the dragon, and throws it into the bucket. The door fully opens.)
Lloyd: Great work! Come on.
(The ninja run toward the gate. A purple female dragon appears from behind the gate. The ninja are taken aback by the presence of another dragon. The female dragon bursts through the door as the ninja are backing away.)
Kai: Okay, okay! Two dragons might be a lot, but we can take them!
Sora: Doesn't look like we have much of a choice, Kai.
(The ninja get into fighting stances.)
Sora: Get ready!
(The dragons bow their heads.)
Arin: What are they doing? This is awkward. Is there some kind of social cue I'm not picking up on?
Kai: (To Wyldfyre) You're the dragon expert. Are dragons known for attacking people, then suddenly being cool with them?
Wyldfyre: Sure, if the people they attacked fell off a cliff to their doom.
Nya: Ahem. So, we're not fighting anymore?
Female Dragon: Congratulations, sport! You passed all three tests! Up high!
(The female dragon raises her tail up. Wyldfyre laughs. Riyu goes over to the female dragon and "high five" her tail.)
Lloyd: Three tests?
(The male dragon puts a straw hat on.)
Male Dragon: The Test of Fears, the Test of Faith, and the Test of Unity. Most people don't get past the first one.
Nya: Fears? You mean that cave? That monster thing with the tentacles on our heads?
Male Dragon: The leap of faith through the fog into the unknown.
Female Dragon: Then my favorite test, unity! Like teamwork to get those stones into the basket. You ninja are tight!
Lloyd: I'm glad we past the test, but we're looking for an ancient Master. Do you know where this teacher is?
Male Dragon: (Snarls.) You aren't the sharpest shuriken in the armory, are you?
(Arin chuckles and then coughs to stop himself from continue chuckling. Arin then sighs.)
Female Dragon: What he means is we are the teachers you're looking for. I'm Rontu, and that's Egalt. We are the Dragon Masters.
(The ninja are amazed upon knowing that the dragons are the teachers they were looking for.)
----
(Back in the Land of Lost Things, the Finders face off against the Wolf Mask Warriors.)
Spitz: Should we ask them what they want?
Geo: Sure! What do you want?
(A Wolf Mask Warrior kicks Geo into a pile of junk.)
Bonzle: They came all the way here to beat up Geo? Unexpected.
(As more Wolf Mask Warriors run down the chain, Geo gets up from the pile of junk.)
Geo: Get the cover! They aren't friendly!
(A Wolf Mask Warrior throws a sword at Spitz, who jumps back.)
Bonzle: Yeah, figured that.
Geo: I don't know what you want, but you're going to have to go through me to get it.
(Geo uses his powers to create a weapon made out of the junk he landed in. He then throws the weapon at a Wolf Mask Warrior.)
Fritz: You aren't alone, Geo. We all protect each other.
(Geo pushes one Wolf Mask Warrior to the ground, and is searching for the weapons for the Finders.)
Geo: If you're not going to get the cover, then here, use these!
(Geo uses his powers to fuse more weapons, which he throws to Fritz and Spitz, who use them to fight off the Wolf Mask Warriors. He then sees a Wolf Mask Warrior surround Bonzle, who runs, as another Wolf Mask Warrior chases her. Geo jumps down from the pile of junk.)
Geo: Hey, ugly!
(Geo throws a chair at two Wolf Mask Warriors, which knock them to the ground. He then uses his powers to weaken the warriors.)
Geo: Oh, no! You seem to be stuck!
(One Wolf Mask Warrior tries to attack Bonzle with a sword while she's running, but Bonzle dodges it.)
Bonzle: Hey! I need my head!
(The Wolf Mask Warrior tries to attack Bonzle but fails again. Geo then kicks the Wolf Mask Warrior to the ground.)
Bonzle: I'm thinking being attacked by wolf costume people for no reason is weird, but maybe I'm just naive.
(Another Wolf Mask Warrior tries to attack Geo and Bonzle, but Geo punches the warrior to the ground.)
Geo: No you're right! Super weird. I'll try to fuse some weapons.
(Geo fuses a chair with a pool noodle and gives it to Bonzle.)
Bonzle: This is a weapon?
Geo: Okay, not my best work.
(More Wolf Mask Warriors attempt to attack Geo and Bonzle. Geo punches the warriors while Bonzle traps a warrior with the chair.)
Bonzle: Eh, does the trick.
(A Wolf Mask Warrior tries to attack Geo, who dodges and runs. He finds a stick and uses it to knock the warrior to the ground. Meanwhile, Fritz and Spitz are still fighting more warriors.)
Spitz: This is getting ridiculous. How many of these punks are there?
(Geo pushes another Wolf Mask Warrior with the branch he had. Geo then looks up at the Cloud Kingdom as more Wolf Mask Warriors run down the chain.)
Geo: I'm guessing enough to take over the Cloud Kingdom.
(Geo spots Bonzle getting dragged away by two Wolf Mask Warriors.)
Bonzle: Help!
Geo: Spitz, Fritz! They took Bonzle!
Spitz: Well, you're not taking us, wolf face clowns!
(The Wolf Mask Warriors run back toward the anchor.)
Fritz: Huh, guess they listen to you.
Geo: They don't want us. They want Bonzle!
Spitz: Don't they know we can't leave the Land of Lost Things?
Geo: Doesn't seem like they're worried about that.
(Bonzle continues to struggle to escape from the Wolf Mask Warriors' grasp.)
Fritz: Let her go!
(Fritz and Spitz throw their weapons at the Wolf Mask Warriors. They then feel the ground quake.)
Spitz: What now?
(The Wolf Mask Warriors turn and see a rock golem approaching them.)
Cole: Leave her alone!
(Bonzle and Fritz smile after seeing the golem. Spitz and Geo are surprised.)
Geo: Cole! You're back?
(Cole goes to attack the Wolf Mask Warriors.)
----
(Meanwhile, back at the Dragon Masters' training plateau, the ninja are still surprised at who the Shatterspin teacher was.)
Lloyd: The legendary teacher is two dragons?
Arin: Dragons can be ninja?
Egalt: (Snarls.) Dragons make the best ninja. I swore off training non-dragons centuries ago. Too many terrible experiences.
(Riyu growls while Wyldfyre yawns.)
Rontu: Why did you come here? No one has even attempted the tests in ages.
Lloyd: This might sound wild, but I got a vision that we had to come. A vision from the Source Dragons.
Egalt: (Grunts.) You came all this way to lie. Source Dragons do not get involved with mortal matters.
Rontu: It would require a very dire situation for them to do so.
Lloyd: Maybe this is that situation. We need to learn how to fight against Shatterspin.
Egalt: Why? There's no one alive who can perform that technique.
Sora: Boy, I wish that was true.
Rontu: You've seen someone using Shatterspin?
Kai: We got our butts kicked by it. We had no way to fight back.
Egalt More rubbish. The secrets of Shatterspin have been erased from history. There is no way anyone could learn it, not anymore.
Lloyd: We're telling you! Our enemy Ras, trained an Elemental Master to do it. Ras has these weird Wolf Masks and a special gong. He's going to use them to free some group called the Forbidden Five.
(The dragons are taken aback and look at each other.)
Rontu: If what you're saying is true, then this world is about to face evil the likes of which you cannot imagine.
----
(Back in the Land of Lost Things, Cole uses his golem abilities to punch the ground, knocking all of the Wolf Mask Warriors in the way. Cole stops three other Wolf Mask Warriors while two others run back up the chain toward the Cloud Kingdom with Bonzle. Cole punches the anchor, only for a Wolf Mask Warrior sword to fall right between the other three Finders. Cole powers up and hits the anchor, causing Bonzle to fall. Geo catches Bonzle.)
Geo: Gotcha!
Bonzle: Good timing, Cole!
(Bonzle and Geo embrace.)
Geo: You okay?
(Cole continues knocking out Wolf Mask Warriors with his powers. He then uses his punching power to knock the Wolf Mask Warriors holding on to the chain.)
Cole: That should buy some time. Looks like I picked an exciting day to come back.
Geo: Was your mission successful?
Cole: I'll fill you in later. We gotta get to cover!
(Cole and the Finders retreat to the front of the rebuilt portal gate. Cole uses his punch powers to create a rock and trash shell around the vicinity. He then disassembles from his golem form back to his normal form.)
Geo: Well, for what it's worth, it's good to see you again, Cole!
Spitz: Yeah! We really missed your breakfast!
Geo: You told me you like my breakfast!
Fritz: Well, compared to eating nothing...
Cole: I thought it'd be boring back here without me.
Geo: Sorry. This probably isn't the homecoming you were hoping for.
Cole: I'm just glad I arrived in time. Now I've got to figure out what's up with the Cloud Kingdom.
(Cole spots and picks up a Wolf Mask, and then looks at it.)
----
(Back at the training plateau, the ninja continue discussing with Dragon Masters about the Forbidden Five.)
Nya: Apparently, these Forbidden Five were only ever beaten once before, and then exiled.
(The Dragon Masters snarl.)
Wyldfyre: What's so funny? Was there a joke? Oh, I hate missing jokes!
Rontu: No joke. We're well aware of the fate of the Forbidden Five.
Egalt: We are the ones who defeated them.
(All of the ninja are happily surprised after hearing that the Dragon Masters were the ones who banished the Forbidden Five.)
Arin: You're the force from the east we were told about? I assumed that was just a legend or something.
Egalt: Our acts were legendary, millennia ago. I'm sure that's surprising to someone who didn't even know dragons could be ninja.
(Arin nervously chuckles.)
Rontu: We defeated the Forbidden Five and their Shatterspin with a fighting style we created, the Rising Dragon Technique.
(The ninja happily sigh at the mention of the technique.)
Egalt: Then we used an extremely powerful spell to exile the Five forever. After that we hid their language and any mention of them.
Kai: I guess Lord Ras unhid it.
Egalt: This Ras might have rediscovered their teachings, but the Forbidden Five can never return.
Lloyd: Not even during the Ritual of the Blood Moon?
(The Dragon Masters exchange worried glances with each other.)
----
(Back in the Land of Lost Things, Cole talks with Finders about the Wolf Mask Warriors.)
Cole: Those wolf warriors aren't here for random kidnapping.
(Cole uses a foot punch ability to create a rock for Geo to sit on.)
Cole: They have to want Bonzle for some specific reason.
Geo: Bonzle, can you think of any reason why they might be doing this?
Bonzle: I... really don't know. I've never seen them in my life.
(Outside of the shell, the Wolf Mask Warriors begin to throw trash and rubble to dislodge the shell.)
Cole: They're gonna break through!
(Cole prepares to use his Earth Punch, but Geo stops him.)
Geo: I got this.
(Geo uses his powers to strengthen and stabilize the shell. Outside, the Wolf Mask Warriors struggle with dislodging the rocks.)
Geo: Good luck breaking through that.
Cole: They don't have a chance. Not with your powers, Geo.
(Bonzle looks at the others guiltily from afar.)
----
(In the Cloud Kingdom, Jordana looks at the Land of Lost Things through her crystal ball.)
Jordana: Getting the component chip should not have been this much trouble, especially once I remove the boundary spell. But of course, an Elemental Master had to interfere.
Ras: Calm yourself, Jordana.
Jordana: But Lord Ras, she's the key!
Ras: I am well aware of that.
(Ras turns to a Wolf Mask Warrior.)
Ras: Prepare the Gong of Shattering.
(Jordana turns and sees a Writer holding the gong. She turns back to Ras.)
Jordana: What about the consequences of using it too much? Isn't this risky?
Ras: No cost is too high to get what we came for.
(Jordana gulps. Ras tells a female Writer to use the gong. A Wolf Mask Warrior pushes the female Writer toward the Mallet of Shattering. She shakes her head in regret and then hits the gong with the mallet over and over. The masks of the Wolf Mask Warriors in the Land of Lost Things begin to glow. Claws appear over the warriors' hands. Bonzle rushes and sees the empowered Wolf Mask Warriors heading towards the shell.)
Bonzle: Huh. Something weird is happening with the wolf guys.
(As the gong is repeatedly struck, a rock falls toward Bonzle, who jumps back. The other Finders cover their ears.)
Fritz: What is that?
----
(Back at the training plateau, the Dragon Masters deliberate with each other with their growls.)
Kai: What do you think they're talking about?
Wyldfyre: My guess? The end of the world.
Sora: Not funny, Wyldfyre.
Wyldfyre: Not joking, Sora.
(The Dragon Masters turn to the ninja.)
Egalt: This Lord Ras, you said he had Wolf Masks. Those could only be obtained from the Shadow Dojo.
Rontu: Which we ensured could not be opened, not without the energy of a Source Dragon.
Sora: Maybe Ras stole energy from the Source Dragon Imperium captured.
Rontu: Captured a Source Dragon? This Ras must be really powerful indeed.
Egalt: Someone who could do that to the greatest of the dragons means true darkness has poisoned the world.
Arin: Oh, he's evil, all right. Hundred percent. (Whispers to Sora) Even his breath smells evil.
Lloyd: We came here to learn to fight Shatterspin, but we didn't realize the teachers were the ones that defeated the Forbidden Five. With you fighting alongside us, there's no way Ras can win.
Egalt: (Snarls.) Listen, child, when we took on the Forbidden Five, we were young, at the peak of our powers.
Rontu: We are old now. The years have taken their toll. We cannot fight alongside you.
(The ninja look at each other and then back up at the dragons.)
Rontu: But we can train.
Egalt: Can we? Look at them. They are weak. They are not ready.
Rontu: They passed all the tests. They have proven their worthiness.
(Wyldfyre stands up on Riyu.)
Wyldfyre: And who are you calling weak?
(Wyldfyre falls down, but Kai catches her and puts her back on top of Riyu. Egalt flies up to the top of one of the pillars.)
Egalt: They are not dragons. You know my opinion. Not after last time.
Rontu: This is not that time, Egalt. We cannot ignore the threat the Blood Moon brings. With the realms now merged, the Five will have more to conquer, more to destroy. And all of our work, defeating them, banishing them, will be for naught— our legacy meaningless! We must train them.
Egalt: (Grunts.) Fine. I'd better not regret this.
Lloyd: So you'll teach us to fight against Shatterspin?
Rontu: We don't know how much time we have. The Rising Dragon Technique is extremely hard to master. We start training first thing in the morning.
Arin: We can do it!
Egalt: Overconfidence. That's exactly the kind of weakness the Forbidden Five exploit. You have clearly been taught well, but you have only scratched the surface of what you need to learn. Or Rontu is right. This world is doomed.
----
(In the Land of Lost Things, the empowered Wolf Mask Warriors run toward the shell and easily start chipping away the rocks, some of which falls inside the shell.)
Geo: These walls won't hold for long!
(The instability of the shell causes an exhaust fan to fall.)
Cole: Look out!
(Cole saves Fritz from the fan. Cole then looks at the portal gate light.)
Cole: Hey! That's part of the portal gate Nya told me about.
Geo: What's a portal gate?
Cole: Something we need to assemble together. If the portal is activated, we can escape.
Geo: Hang on. You know we can't just leave the Land of Lost Things. The fog always sends us back.
Bonzle: I... I think we can leave now.
Geo: Huh? What are you talking about?
(The empowered Wolf Mask Warriors continue chipping away the rocks on the shell. An empowered Wolf Mask Warrior throws a cargo box off of the shell. Cole dodges the falling rocks inside the shell.)
Cole: This is our only chance! Help me assemble this thing!
(Cole assembles into his golem form. The other Finders run and help Cole reactivate the portal gate. After Cole puts the light back on the gate, Geo uses his powers to fuse the parts of the portal gate together, activating the gate. The Finders marvel at the sight of seeing the activated portal gate.)
Fritz: Cool!
(An empowered Wolf Mask Warrior breaks a rock and sticks a claw in the opening.)
Geo: Where's it gonna take us?
Cole: No idea...
'(An empowered Wolf Mask Warrior's claw continues to dislodge rocks from the shell.)
Cole: But anywhere is better than here! Here goes nothing!
(The Finders go through the portal gate. In the dragon stables beneath the Monastery of Spinjitzu, the portal gate's orb glows. Mr. Frohicky gasps as the doors open. The Finders knock over the ladder Mr. Frohicky was standing on and then land on top of him. They land in front of Zane holding a frog man doll.)
Zane: Cole?
----
(In the Cloud Kingdom, Jordana watches the portal gate.)
Jordana: Ugh, they escaped!
Ras: It doesn't matter where they go. (Snarls.) We will follow.
(The empowered Wolf Mask Warriors finally makes an opening in the shell. Three of the warriors jump down and head towards the portal gate. Jordana watches the warriors go through the portal gate.)
----
(Back at the dragon stables, Cole and the Finders are still on top of Mr. Frohicky.)
Cole: Zane, we— why do you have a frog man doll?
(Zane looks at the doll.)
Zane: It is a long and barely comprehensible story.
Cole: Doesn't matter.
(The Finders get up from Mr. Frohicky.)
Cole: We need your help.
Zane: What seems to be the problem?
(Two of the empowered Wolf Mask Warriors suddenly emerge from the portal gate.)
Cole: Them.
(An empowered Wolf Mask Warrior uses one of the claws.)
