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!

Toge: 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.

Toge: Nya. Be nice.

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

Toge: 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.

Nya: 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.

Nya: 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.

Kai: Thank you. Now, I propose that we trust the new Munce Queen, whoever she is, and go to the truce meeting.

Zane throws a pebble at Kai's head.

Zane: Hear, hear!

Kai frowns at him.

Zane:I am 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.
