Legacy of Terror

## Premise

"When Elida goes missing, Daniel, Sonic and Tai Lung lead a platoon of clones in search of her. When the search leads to a mysterious lair, the masters are faced with a horde of undead warriors."

## Synopsis

Esther and Fenghuang both leave the battlefield to recuperate. Up on a cliff, Elida and Daniel note the high casualties taken during the battle. The former sets out on a speeder to find Poggle the Lesser, as his capture, along with any information he has, would prove useful against the Arkeyans and the Dark Empire.

Meanwhile, Poggle's AAT is dragging a number of crates with the use of tractor beams. A sandstorm begins, and one crate falls off, but Poggle tells his Arkeyan droids to leave it. Elida and her clone companion Buzz follow Poggle's trail, as they brave through the sandstorm. They track Poggle to the Progate Temple.

In one of the Kung Fu Acclamator ships, Daniel arrives on the bridge, only to be surprised to see Master Shifu, fresh out of the bacta tank. Moments later, Elida holographically calls them, reporting that she has found what seemed to be a munitions container. She is advised by Daniel via hologram to wait for support. Suddenly, after Buzz pushes a rock that shows a hole into the catacombs beneath, he is heard screaming and contact with Elida is lost and that makes Daniel worried. Tai Lung and Sonic eagerly wants to go help, but the other Masters advise to wait until the storm is over.

After the storm, Tai Lung, Sonic and Daniel bring a squad to the temple. Cody finds Buzz's body and Daniel finds Elida's Shurikens of Ice. They then see a statue of what seems to be a Weevils queen's head above the archway of a dark tunnel. Daniel mentions that there are legends of Weevils queens, but no proof has been found of their existence. They go through the archway, entering a strange maze.

Elsewhere, the Arkeyans drag the unconscious body of Elida. She wakes up and tries fighting them off, but notices that the Arkeyans aren't feeling pain—almost undead-like. She contacts Daniel, telling them not to enter the temple, before she is subdued. Then, Daniel, Sonic and Tai Lung are attacked by the undead Arkeyans and Empire soldiers, who are able to move even if shot or hacked; there is also something worm-like moving through their face openings. They manage to save themselves by going down a tunnel. Daniel remembers rumors of a hive mind able to control Arkeyans, humans and animals, even after they are dead. Because they are too deep underground to contact Shifu, Daniel sends two clones to head back to the surface and call for help. Unfortunately, they are killed by the zombies before they can do so. Daniel thus suggests that the rest of them should stick together.

They eventually find Elida, held in energy bonds before the Weevils Queen, Karina The Great. Tai Lung prepares to charge in, but Daniel has a different strategy. He tells Cody to have his men surround the place, and wait for his signal to blind the zombies and bury them. The masters approach the queen, her thralls letting them pass. Daniel diplomatically tells her to surrender, but the queen refuses, intending on controlling the masters with her brain worm, catching Daniel's interest about the way the queen's mind control works. Poggle the Lesser approaches Elida with a worm, but before it can snake its way up her nose, Daniel gives the signal, and Cody and his men surprise the Arkeyans, projecting light on the zombies and confusing them. They save Elida and take Poggle prisoner. The undead tried to pursue the masters and the clones, but the clones blast the cave supports, causing the ceiling of the cave to collapse. Daniel intends to study the worm that was going to be used on Elida, but Tai Lung squishes it with his boot, saying they should get out. They attempt to escape the collapsing temple, with the zombies after them. As they make their way up the hole that leads to the surface, a few zombies follow. Then, a rush of dust, and air pushes them up. They escape before the entire temple caves in, probably burying the queen. Daniel and Elida hug each other while Elida says "thank you so much for saving me" and Daniel says "I lost you for ten years and I do everything not to lose you again".
