"Arin! Tarim! Look out!" Sora yelled to us as we all jumped away, avoiding the blue fire the dragon directed at us. "W-Wait! We mean no harm!" Arin pleaded, trying to reason with the dragon. The dragon merely glared back, using his wings to send a blast of air at us, sending all of flying back to the ground. "I don't think he's in the mood to listen to reason, Arin," I told him as Wyldfire ran forward on Ryu's back. "He'll listen to me. I speak dragon," Wyldfire told us confidently, beginning to roar and growl as she attempted to get the dragon to talk. The dragon merely growled in reply, raising a paw to crush her as Ryu leaped back, avoiding it. "He did not like whatever you said, Wyldfire," Sora noted as she came to a stop in front of us. "What's his problem?" Kai asked Nya, confused. "Maybe he thinks we broke into his house," Nya suggested, she and Kai running at the dragon with their hands lit with power, "I'd be a little peeved too." Kai attempted to strike the dragon with a pair of fireballs, but it merely blocked them with its wing, using a claw to knock Kai to the ground as it's mouth glowed with fire. Fortunately, Nya then threw a blast of water at the elderly dragon, knocking his head to the side, causing him to roar angrily. 

"Thanks!" Kai thanked his sister as she used both of her hands to flip him back onto his feet as they re-ignited their powers again. The two siblings attempted to attack the dragon again from both sides as he blocked their powers again with his wings, distracting him so Lloyd, Arin and I could examine the door. "Come on! If my visions were right, the teacher we need is supposed to be on the other side of that gate!" Lloyd told us as we ran forward, grabbing at the gate as we attempted to pull it open. "Feels like it's sealed shut!" Arin groaned out, still trying to force the door open as he shoved his back against it. "We have to find what's keeping it from opening," Lloyd told us as I looked around, spotting a bucket hanging high above the side of the door. "Lloyd, look! That bucket!" I pointed out. "Great spot, Tarim!" Lloyd congratulated as Kai tripped on one of the many boulders strewn across the ground before the door as he, Nya and Sora continued to avoid the dragon.

"This landscape choice is not battle friendly!" Kai snapped in annoyance, hitting the ground. "There aren't ordinary boulders,"  Sora replied as she helped Kai up, "It looks like they were put here on purpose." "It does look like they were put here on purpose," Lloyd agreed, picking one up to look over. "Of course, it's a test," I realised, taking the boulder from his hands and attempting to toss it into the bucket, only for the dragon to knock it aside with its tail. "What are you two doing?" Nya asked us, confused. "This battle with the dragon is a test. We have to work our way around him and place all the boulders in that bucket in order to lower the chain and open the gate," I explained, Lloyd nodding in agreement as I pointed up to the bucket. "It was set up this way on purpose," Lloyd added. "But that's not gonna happen if that dragon keeps blocking these stones," Sora pointed out as Nya picked up another boulder. "That must be another part of this test. We have to work together in order to finish," I explained. "Some of us, distract that dragon! The rest of us, get those rocks!" Lloyd ordered as he, and Arin used spinjitzu to go in and distract the dragon as I kicked it across the face, causing him to roar in rage. "Sora, you're up!" Nya told the girl, passing her a boulder as she and Kai also went in to use spinjitzu. 

The dragon tried to hit us, gazing around in confusion as Kai also passed Wyldfire a boulder, Ryu running in. "Score!" Wyldfire yelled as Ryu jumped up the wall, allowing her to drop the boulder into the bucket, causing the gate to open slightly before she dropped back down onto Ryu's back, "World record!" "Got it, Sora?" Arin asked our friend as he came to a stop in front of the basket, hands held out to give her a boost. "I've always got you, Arin," Sora replied, leaping over Ryu's back before using Arin's hands as a boost, jumping into the air and dropping the second boulder into the bucket. The two high fived before running back to re-join the rest of us, Lloyd coming to a stop in front of the door to see our success. "It's working!" Lloyd yelled to us, only for the dragon to prepare to attack him from behind, Kai and I knocking it's head to the side with his powers and a punch. The dragon turned to us, glaring as Lloyd used the distraction to toss a third boulder into the bucket.
