(The Geckles, the Munce, and the ninja except Cole run from the Grief-Bringer.)

Murtessa: That horrible cry! That's Mief-Bringer, the dragon! No mistake.

Nya: You said Grief-Bringer was killed by some two great hero!

Murtessa: It was! It's back. Skull Sorcerer must have reanimated it.

Gulch: (panting) The cave! The Strong-Cave!

Kai: What?

Gulch: The—the Strong-Cave. It's our. . . (pants) our only hope!

Kai: Oh, finally, some good news. Guys—

Gulch: (He covers Kai's mouth.) Shh! Don't say it out loud! Do you want the Munce to hear?

Kai: Yeah, that's the point, Gulch! If we leave them out here, they'll get chewed up by that thing! Follow us, everyone!

Hazza D'ur: They flee into the mountain.

Skull Sorcerer: Bring it all down! (The Grief-Bringer smashes into the stalactites and creates a bridge across the lava.) After them. All of you!

(The Geckles and Munce take refuge in the Geckle Strong-Cave.)

Gulch: Cha. . . (panting) Chancellor Kai. . . you must order the cave sealed!

Kai: I have to actually say that? Okay, seal the cave! Now! (The Geckles turn the crank, slowly sealing the cave. Then the chain come to a stop. )

Geckle: It's stuck!

Nya: Forget the wheel! Cut the chain!

Lloyd: They're not gonna get shut in time.

Jay: Then we better buy them some time!

Lloyd: You—

Jay: —shall—

Kai: —not—

Zane: —be granted permission to traverse beyond this point. (The other three turn to look at him.)

Blackmagic: You Suppose to say pass.

Lloyd, Jay, Kai, Blackmagic, and Zane: Ninja, go! (They do Spinjitzu.)

Kai: (He boosts Lloyd with his shield.) Haha! (They are surrounded.) Look out!

Murtessa: (She finally breaks the chain.) It's coming down!

Nya: Guys! Get in here!

Lloyd: Run! (They slide in just in time, while the Grief-Bringer crashes into the door.)

Kai: Hopefully we're safe for now.

Gulch: Are you kidding? We are not safe! The enemy is among us. You let them into our cave!

Jay: What? Where?

Gulch: The Munce! (The Geckles and Munce begin to murmur among themselves.)

Kai: You're doing this now?

Lloyd: Are you kidding?

Blackmagic: Come on!

Gulch: Hide your possessions, Geckles, before the Munce steal them! Like they stole the Ivory Blade of Deliverance!

Murtessa: You stole blade! The blade of Milly and Meline!

Gulch: It's Gilly and Geline, you glop-mouthed—

Murtessa: Milly and Meline is our legend, you legend stealing stealer-of-legends! Munce, look through cave for our blade, that Geckle stole from us! Finding it would make being in prison here worth it!
