(In the Munce Home-Cave, the Munce are in an uproar.)

Munce: Not good! Not good idea at all!

Munce: Is bad idea!

Munce: Truce meeting with Geckles is trap! Tricky Geckle trap!

Jay: Guys, it's not a trap! The Geckles aren't your enemies!

Lloyd: The Skull Sorcerer is your enemy, and the only chance we have to defeat them is to work together! (The Munce continue fighting.)

Nya: It's no use, they're not listening.

Murtessa: You must make them listen.

Nya: Oh, it's you.

Jay: Nya. Be nice.

Nya: She attacked me with a giant spiked club, Jay. Remember?

Jay: Yeah, but if you hold every little thing against a person, you won't make any friends at all.

Nya: (sighs) Make them listen how?

Murtessa: Munce are proud. Strong. They respect only power.

Nya: Hmm. (She uses Water to get their attention.) Alright, you Munce. Listen up! We are going to that truce meeting, and there will be peace! If I have to fight every last one of you! Is that clear? (The Munce agree.) Good. Now, let's get this show on the road.

(In the Geckle Strong-Cave, the Geckles are arguing as well.)

Groko: This meeting is a trap! A treacherous Munce ambush!

Garpo: Hear, hear!

Ginkle: I propose we ambush them!

Kai: Order! Order in the court.

Zane: I do not believe they're listening.

Kai: Ugh. (He uses Fire to get the Geckles' attention.) Thank you. Now, I propose that we trust the new Munce Queen, whoever she is, and go to the truce meeting.

Zane: (He & Blackmagic throw a pebble at Kai's head.) Hear, hear. (Kai frowns at him.)

Blackmagic: We are attempting to follow Geckle Parliamentary procedures.

Groko: What if you're wrong?

Ginkle: Yeah, how do you know?

Gulch: We could settle the matter by slug.

Kai: How do you settle a matter by slug?

("Slug" turns out to be a slug race.)

Gulch: On your mark, get set... slow!

Geckle: Oh, Brown! You can do it!

Garpo: Go go go! Brown for the win!

Zane: What is the purpose of this?

Gulch: It's simple. If the gray slug wins, you're right, and the Munce can be trusted. If the brown slug wins, you're wrong, and the Munce cannot be trusted. Only the slugs know.

Gleck: Please! I am Gleck! I must speak to you most urgently! (He takes them out of the other Geckles' sight.) I believe you! I do not think the Munce are evil. I do not think they stole our blade. But nobody listens to me. (Kai notices his necklace & Dragon Pendant.) I'm only Gleck.

Kai: Okay, uh, Gleck, don't take this the wrong way, but you're the little purple creature Cole and Lilly saw in the palace, aren't you?

Gleck: Yes. I didn't mean to scare them. I was looking for Gilly and Geline. I heard that the Elemental Master of Earth and Music was invited to Shintaro. But I was wrong.
