"Ha! This isn't real, right? This is a prank!" Wyldfire declared, in denial that our two new mentors had just turned to stone as the rest of us gazed upon their now rock forms sadly. "I'm sorry," Nya replied sadly, touching Rontu's leg to feel that it was indeed stone, "but I really don't think-" "The Dragon Master's are too powerful to have been turned to stone! I pulled this once. Remember, Kai?" Wyldfire reminded him, trying to sound hopeful. "Wyldfire," Kai started, gazing at her grimly. "Time to wake them from their slumber," Wyldfire declared, walking up and tickling them before she kicked Egalt with her injured leg in a final attempt to wake him, causing her to yell out in pain, "Okay, so it's not a prank. But it'll wear off, right?" "You heard what they said, 'The Blood Moon is a bane for us'," I repeated, "Hopefully, they'll return to normal once it's passed." "Hopefully," Kai agreed, clearly less hopeful. "Lloyd?" Wyldfire asked him, hopeful for a certain answer. 

"I'm not sure, but we'll hope Tarim's right. We can't wait to find out," Lloyd replied decisively, "The Blood Moon is already rising. Which means Ras can begin the ritual to free the Forbidden Five. Which will unleash evil upon the world like we've never seen before." "But - but that'll never happen," Arin argued, trying to sound hopeful, " Kai, you've mastered Rising Dragon technique. All we gotta do is-" "I haven't mastered Rising Dragon Technique," Kai argued, "I did it once." "We could practice it more," Nya suggested as she and Wyldfire came back down the stairs, "Then you could teach us." "But that's just it, I don't know how I did it," Kai admitted, "Not exactly." "It's the only fighting technique that can stop Shatterspin," Sora reminded us, worried, "Is there any other way to stop Ras' ritual?" "There's gotta be another way," Arin replied as I looked over to Lloyd in concern. "Lloyd?" I asked, worried as he continued stepping back, holding his head. "No, not now. I can't handle anymore visions," Lloyd murmured, as he saw Ras beginning his ritual in the Wyldness, a portal opening to reveal the Forbidden Five before collapsing forward, "More visions. I still can't control when they come. But I think I know where we need to go. Ras is going to perform his ritual in the Wyldness. We may not be ready, but we don't have a choice. It's time to face Ras, or everything will be lost."

"Lord Ras," Jordana started as she gazed into a purple crystal ball, having used it to locate the ninja from Cloud Kingdom, "I-I've managed to find the ninja. Not sure I can hold the image for long," She warned as Ras and Cinder walked down to speak to her. "The Blood Moon is here and the ninja are too close," Ras growled, stopping beside her, "You have to stop them." "Uh, from here? That's impossible," Jordana argued, worried if she could do such a thing, "Can we send warriors?" "Use the forbidden magic you've been studying, Jordana," Ras ordered. "But, I'm a scientist," Jordana argued, not confident, "I've only just started learning the magic on the scrolls you've shown me, and-" "I have no time for failure!" Ras snapped back, glaring back at her as Jordana prepared to attempt the spell. "Huh, the Ninja are far, but..." Jordana groaned as she raised her hands, glowing a dangerous red as she held  them up to the crystal ball.

"As far as I know, the Wyldness should be the land up ahead," Lloyd told us as he steered the Bounty towards our destination just as thunder began sounding around us before lightning struck the side of the ship, sending us spinning through the sky, "Hold on!" "Arin, Sora, watch out!" I yelled, pushing them to the ground as a flying crate flew past us. "This wind is... unnatural," Lloyd grimaced, struggling to hold onto the wheel as lightning struck the Bounty's sails, breaking them off as the ship now tumbled towards the ground, Arin and I being sent flying over the side of the ship. "Arin, Tarim!" Lloyd shouted after us as Ryu leapt after us, as he and Nya were also sent flying off the Bounty as it continued spiralling into a crash, landing on an unsteady rock within a large ravine.

"Aargh!" Arin yelled in horror as he opened his eyes to find himself falling towards the ground. "Hang on, Arin!" I yelled down to him as Ryu and I fell through the sky towards him, grabbing him and turning us over so I would take the brunt of the fall, just as Ryu grabbed us both, flapping his wings furiously. "Huh? You're flying!" Arin said, amazed as Ryu began slowing our fall. "Or, sort of flying," Arin admitted as Ryu struggled to produce lift to keep us in the air, crashing to the ground with a scream. "Ryu, bro, you saved me!" Arin thanked, giving us both a hug as Ryu licked his face happily. "I've always got your back, bro," I reminded him with a soft smile. "Yeah, I know," Arin accepted, hugging me more tightly.
