The four birds began to climb up the mountain before Chuck was first to ask, "If there is a Mighty Eagle, well how come we don't ever hear his battle cry." They are seen crossing a log bridge as Red answered, "I don't know." "Maybe he never has one." Stella suggested, which leaves Chuck curious as he said, "Maybe we have. What would a Mighty Eagle battle cry sound like? You know what? I think I got an idea." They walk at a forest as Chuck continues, "Maybe it's something like, uh..." He lets out a loud screech.

"No-no! That's more like... Ca-caw! Ca-caw! That's theoretically what it's more like, scientifically." Bomb attempts to make a battle cry as they cross over a rainy swamp, but Chuck said, "Oh, I got one." He began to sing in opera. They walked at a valley of rocks before Bomb said, "Not bad. It's a good impression."

"But, in my head, I'm kind of imagining something more like a... Hey-yoo-hoo!" They sailed at sea as Bomb shouts, "Hey-yoo-hoo!" They took covered from falling rocks as he continues his third shout. "That sounds about right." Bomb said while Red, Stella and Chuck push him upwards towards the ledge. Chuck moves away, leaving Red and Stella struggling as he said, "Nah, I'm thinking it maybe it's a little bit more subtle. Like a little bit, just more majestic like..." He screeches again.

Bomb and Chuck make Mighty Eagle "impressions" while scaling the mountain, annoying the two before Red finally snaps, "Stop making Mighty Eagle noises! Ugh, it's like running a nursery. Absolute childcare." Chuck spoke in a singsongy tone, "Someone has anger issues." They looked over at the top and realized that they've been climbing on the wrong mountain on the other side of Mighty Eagle's mountain before Stella said, "This, uh... this is the wrong mountain." Red groans and said, "My calves are killing me." The three climbed down, just as soon as Bomb climbed up and said with disappointment, "Aww!" Bomb waits on top of the wrong mountain, until the sun sets.

Red, Stella, and Chuck try to wake him up, but he refuses. The three turned around for only a few seconds, but they stopped Bomb when he tried to fall off and takes him to the real one. After a lot of climbing to the right mountain, the birds finally reached the top as they were out of breath. Bomb looks ahead and said, "Oh, wow. That is simply unreal." Chuck looks up and gasped before he said, "The Lake of Wisdom!" He ran to the lake and yells to the others, "Guys, hurry up! This is what Mama talked about. Wow."

He and Bomb took a drink from the lake before Bomb asks Chuck, "Be honest. Do I sound any wiser?" "Oh, way wiser. You were kind of dumb before, I can say that now." Chuck didn't hesitate to answer as Bomb said, "That water is no joke. I can literally taste the intelligence and wisdom circulating through my body now."

Red and Stella finds a giant nest filled with feathers as Stella calls out, "Hey, guys. Nobody's here. I mean, nobody's used this place in years." The two heard a splash behind and they turned to see Chuck and Bomb swimming in the lake. "What are you doing?" Red ask. Chuck and Bomb are swimming and dancing in the water as Chuck and Bomb spit water into each other's mouthed much to the duo's disgust as Stella exclaims, "Ew! Please, don't do that."

Chuck and Bomb continue playing in the water until Red hears a sound and hides by a rock, grabbing Stella by the arm. He whispers to Chuck and Bomb, "Get out. Let's go. Come on. Shh, shh, Bomb. Take your time, will you." He proceeds to drag the two out of the lake before Chuck was about to say, "Red. I found the meaning of life. It's-"

"Shut your worm hole." Red cuts him off as the four hid. They peeked from behind the rock as they can hear footsteps from the cave. Mighty Eagle comes out of his cave, while the four birds hide by a rock as he spreads his wings majestically. "Oh, wow. It's really him." Red said with amazement, until the moment was ruined when Mighty Eagle pees on the lake as the four watch in horror. Chuck and Bomb were mostly horrified because they've been swimming AND drinking from that lake.

"Oh... no." Stella said as she covers her eyes. Bomb and Chuck are disgusted as Red said, "Horrible turn of events. Horrible." Bomb cries, while Chuck rubs his tongue with a stone until Mighty Eagle was finally done with his business. His abs are no more, just a fat gut as he went back inside his cave. Red was first to break the silence, "Well. Not so much the Lake of Wisdom, it's more like the Lake of Wizz."

Stella smacks his head before they hear a voice from the cave, "Did you just come here to look at me? Or did you have something to say?" Bomb whispers to the group, "I think he saw us." "No, really?" Stella ask sarcastically before they walk over to the cave. Mighty Eagle walked out and said, "You have passed the first test! You have found me." The four nearly fell backwards from his gut as he continued, "Behold. Gaze upon... Mighty Eagle!"

He stares at the fourth wall, which made the four birds confused before he said, "I see all and know all. What are your names?" Chuck was first to ask, "If you know all, why don't you know where we are?" Red slaps him before Mighty Eagle replied, "I know very well who you are. You are lost souls, who have come here, seeking wisdom." Both Chuck and Bomb are amazed before Chuck asks, "Can we have some?" Mighty Eagle answered, "Wisdom is not something that is given. It is something that is... attained."

Bomb got disappointed and said, "Okay. Goodbye." He prepares to leave until Mighty Eagle held him up and said, "No no no... Will I help you attain wisdom? Yes! That, I will do." "Right. So, the reason we've climbed the mountain is that we want to know-" Stella was about to explain, but Mighty Eagle cuts her off and said, "Prepare... to have your minds blown." He accidentally bumps his head on the entrance as he muttered, "Ah! Son of a..."

Stella hid her anger with a smile as Bomb said, "This guy is good."
