The Dragon Hunters and Iron Baron have Jay, Kai, and Zane as their prisoners. The ninja are pushed to the ground.
Kai: His throne. I already hate him.
Iron Baron: They don't look as I imagined.
The Hunters laugh.
Iron Baron: Where did you find them?
Heavy Metal: To the south. They were building a fortification.
Jay: That's pretty generous. Heh. More like a rickety shack. But after losing everything, who am I to complain?
Heavy Metal: Did I say you could speak?
Daddy No Legs: We took them by surprise. There may be more.
Iron Baron: Is this true? Are there more of your kind?
Kai: Our kind?
Zane: No. We're alone.
Jet Jack: Then tell us, who do these diapers belong to?
Kai: Oh, those are Jay's. Tell 'em, Jay.
Jay: Oh. I have a weak bladder.
The Hunters laugh.
Iron Baron: See how they lie? See their treachery? They cannot help it. It's in their nature.
Zane: (Whispering) Do not reveal anything.
Iron Baron: But there is one whom you cannot deceive.
Kai: Okay, now, take it easy there, Captain. Let's not do anything—
Iron Baron: Throw the Oni into the Pit!
Hunters: Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows!
Kai: Oni? You're making a mistake!
Zane: We are not Oni!
Jay: Okie dokie. Off we go.
Daddy No Legs lead the ninja into Dead's End.
Kai: They think we're Oni.
Jay: I know, how funny. And here we thought they were Oni.
They see a Fire Dragon forced to provide Fire to blacksmiths.
Zane: Their entire culture appears to be built around the hunting of dragons and exploiting their Elemental Powers.
Kai: Then it's a good thing we kept our identities secret.
Arkade: Ah! Welcome to the Dead's End! May I have your parts when you expire?
Kai: At least we know what to call this dump. But what do you make of this "Slab?" And what's "the Pit?"
Jay: Duh. It's most likely an arena. A brutal tradition but exciting nonetheless. I for one can't wait!
Dragon Hunter #1: Hey! Hey! Hey! What do you think—
Kai: This isn't good, Jay. It's bad. And it's only gonna get worse.
Jay: Aw, lighten up. We're in an exotic realm, discovering new cultures, meeting interesting people.
Kai: People who wanna kill us, Jay!
Zane: Oh, boy. I believe Jay's mental state has made him useless to our plight.
They come across the Destiny's Bounty.
Kai: Hey! That's ours!
Zane: Let's just hope Cole can rescue us from out of this mess.
Cole and Wu spy on the Hunters.
