Lloyd, Misty, Jay, and Nya were making their way through Terra Technica doing their very best to avoid the Red Visors that were hunting them. Lloyd was in the lead, and he signaled them to move along, but stop when they saw a monitor it showed Kai and Cole crashing during the Speedway Five-Billion race and turning into cubes.

With crestfallen faces, they looked at the ground unable to continue looking at the screen as it flashed both Kai and Cole's faces. Misty hid her face against Nya's shoulder unable to bring herself to look at the pictures of her friends. Nya gently held Misty's head in a comforting way and also looked at the ground.

"Our friend wouldn't want us to give up. We have to keep going," Lloyd said and he stood in front of the others to encourage them. Nya continued to look at the ground mourning her brother and friend, as Jay said, "We'll find a way. Somehow. We're going to find them, and bring them all back." He placed his hand on Nya's shoulder to encourage her. Nya looked up at him and said, "Okay, what's next?

"Terra Domina. That's where the last Key-Tana is." Jay said his eyes narrowed, and Lloyd lead them to a red arcade cabinet with flames on its screen.

"It looks a little...intense," Lloyd said nervously, Unagami's logo appeared on the screen, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "We must be getting close to the end of the game,"

Jay pressed a button on the arcade cabinet, causing it to open. "Well, c'ya on the other side," He said and entered the cabinet. They entered Terra Domina and saw a floating temple above them.

"Holy cow! Unagami's Temple of Madness," Jay gaped as they stared at what was before them.

A swirling vortex swirled above them and on a floating block was the Key-tana. It was both a beautiful and maddening sight.

"I'd go mad too if I lived here," Nya admitted

The ninja walk through the entrance and see many levitating platforms ahead of them, "Oh I can already tell I'm not going to like this, "Misty muttered.

"Okay, that's freaky!" Jay said

"We should head back. Let's go about the dangers, and come back with a plan," Lloyd offered but just then the platform that they were standing on glitched. "Did you guys feel that?" Lloyd asked

"Feel what?" Jay asked

"If you mean the sense of impending doom? Then yeah totally," Misty said as she looked over the edge.

Lloyd shot her a look and said, "I don't know. I thought I felt something," The platform disappeared and the ninja land on one that looks like the rest. "Whoa!" Lloyd cried

The ninja looked behind them and saw the Unagami logo. The platform the ninja were on started to disappear.

"Hey!" Nya shouted and they desperately jumped onto the next platform

"W-what's happening?" Lloyd cried and the ninja jumped onto another platform. "Where's that music coming from?" He shouted the music he was talking about was tinny techno music that was slowly speeding up and getting faster and faster.

"This music is making my anxiety worse!" Misty cried

"Oh, man. I was afraid of this. We've entered the world of old-school platform games!" Jay cried and the ninja jumped onto another platform.

"And those games force you to run towards chaos?" Nya asked

"Eh, technically side-scroll toward chaos, but yeah," Jay said shrugging. They then jumped onto another moving platform.
