In his throne room, the Skull Sorcerer looks into the Pit.

Hazza D'ur: Nothing comes without sacrifice.

Skull Sorcerer: My subjects will want to know what happened to their princess.

He transforms back into Vangelis.

Skull Sorcerer: Luckily, I have the perfect scapegoat. Or should I say, dragon. Guards! There's been a terrible accident. The Princess fell into the Pit.

Hailmar: How?

Vangelis: It was that - that creature! It turned on her and attacked her. I want it locked up!

Hailmar: The Princess' dragon? Chompy?

Vangelis: You heard me. I want the beast locked up! Now!

In the Pit, Cole and Wu scream as they fall.

Cole: Master Wu! Are you okay?

Wu: What?

Cole: I said, are you okay?

Wu: For the moment, yes!

Cole: Speed up! I can't hear you!

Wu: I'm falling as fast as I can! You have to slow down!

Cole: How?

Wu: Use your Elemental Powers!

Cole: What?

Wu: Your Elemental Powers! Use your powers to slow down!

He flaps his arms.

Cole: You really think that would work?

Wu: Yes!

Cole: Okay, here goes nothing.

He flaps his arms. Wu raises an eyebrow.

Cole: It's not working!

Vania: Master Wu! Cole!

Wu: Princess Vania?

Vania: I'm coming! But you have to slow down!

Wu: How?

Vania: Use your arms, like this!

She flaps her arms.

He does so, then stops.

Wu: Oh, what am I doing? It's no use. That won't work!

Cole: I've got an idea.

He grabs a vine, but it breaks.

Cole: I need a bigger vine.

He grabs another, but it breaks when he slams into the walls.

Wu: Cole! Stop playing with those twigs and stay with me!

They join hands.

Cole: Gotcha.

Vania: Hang on. I'm almost there!

Cole: Are you sure those wings will hold all three of us?

Vania: No, but it's our only chance! Now reach!

Cole and Wu grab her.

Vania: Gotcha!

The wings break.
