Master Crash

## Premise

When Daniel is seriously injured in battle, Master Olivia must teach Esther and Sonic the kung fu philosophy of not having any personal connections - while draining a hostile valley in search of medical help for their leader.

## Synopsis

Daniel, Sonic and Esther's fleet go to assist the fleet of master Olivia, which is being heavily damaged by three Arkeyan Munificent-class star frigates. The Arkeyan droid commander, a tactical droid, sees an opening as the frigates dispatch Arkeyan Cracklers onto her ship's hull. Daniel, Sonic and Esther arrive just in time, their ship launching three gunships. The Arkeyan Cracklers take notice and fly off to intercept. Daniel leaps onto one of the droids to dive right into the damaged destroyer, as his brother and troops when the gunship crashes. They rendezvous with Olivia, before making their way to a cruiser in the lower docking bay.

However, the Arkeyan Tactical Droid orders the destruction of the remainder of Olivia's Fleet, and the massed laser fire causes an explosion to rip right towards the escaping group of clones and kung fu masters. Daniel's fire element pushes the others to safety, then attempts to use his element to telekinetically maintain the integrity of a bulkhead he closed to ward off the explosion. He fails to restrain the full concussive force of the explosion, which hurls him into the bulkhead behind him, severely injuring him. Esther and Sonic manages to haul him out, and they get on the cruiser. However, before they can dock at the Resolute to give Daniel medical attention, fire from Arkeyan copters knocks out one of the pilots, accidentally activating the hyperdrive. The cruiser quickly detaches from the Resolute, then shoots off to hyperspace; Yularen orders his men to finish the battle before going after the cruiser.

In hyperspace, the cruiser is set to run into a nearby volcano. Risking Daniel's life, Olivia orders all power systems, including life support, to be shut down to reset the navicomputer, which brings them out of hyperspace. However, the loss of gravity makes it difficult to restart power. Olivia uses the lightning element to flip the power switch, enabling them to circle the volcano, but their speed sends them crashing into the nearby valley of Maridun. Once they crash land, they set up a camp from some of their wrecked ship's parts. Olivia says they must find help for Daniel; Sonic states that he, Esther and Rex will stay behind but Olivia states that they must work together. Bly finds a tablet with a carving of a tree, implying that there may be sentient life on the valley. Rex promises to watch after Daniel, while the others go search for help. Along the way, Olivia senses Esther and Sonic's confusion over the kung fu code of no attachment and that they are supposed to be compassionate at the same time. Olivia tells them that she was close to her master but in time, she learned to let him go.

Olivia's group finds a giant tree that was depicted in the tablet. However, giant seedpods come falling down on them from the trees but no one is hit/hurt by them. Olivia notices a trail made from dragged-away seedpods, and they follow the trail.

Back at the camp, something is watching Rex and Daniel. Hearing rustling in the bushes, Rex goes to check it out. As Daniel finally comes to, he senses something and tries to get up but collapses. He manages to tell Rex that there is something behind him. He turns around and a hyena attacks him. He manages to scare it off with his blaster.

In a clearing, two more hyenas attack the group, killing Cameron, Lucky and Flash before being scared off. Olivia, Sonic, Esther and Bly soon find a village of lemurs who had settled on the Valley, far away from the war. The village elder, Tee Watt Kaa refuses to aid them, fearing that destruction will break the peace they already have. However, at Esther's request, he does allow his son, Wag Too, to help them bring Daniel back to the village for medical support. But he requests that only one kung fu master is to go with him and that Bly should follow. Esther and Bly go back with Wag Too in their company, while Olivia remains behind as insurance.

In a homestead, Olivia and the elder discuss the war. Olivia says that they did not start the war and only hope to bring peace back to the Kung Fu Panda Wall; the elder says that he doesn't see a difference as to who started it. Only by laying down their arms on both sides can they hope to achieve peace.

At the camp, Daniel senses more hyenas nearby and stands to fight. Two emerge from the bushes, ready to strike. As they charge, Rex shoots one of them, but the other rams between them. Luckily, the others arrive in time; Wag Too uses rope to bind the hyenas, but tells Sonic not to kill it, merely to topple it. They pull on the rope, bringing the hyena down on its side. They then bring Daniel back to the village, where Wag Too uses healing oil on Daniel.

Outside the village, Esther acknowledges to Olivia that she was right; if she had stayed with Daniel, then they would have never found the village in time to save him. However, their only concern is getting off this Valley and they hope that Yularen can find them soon. Meanwhile Sonic is sitting next to Daniel sleeping in a bed and holding his hand and says "get well my dear brother, with the Robot King, Conquertron and the Arkyans in search of me I can not survive without you".
