The storm amulet

In the throne room, Kalmaar and Gripe are looking through some sea scrolls when Glutinous enters.

Glutinous: Prince Kalmaar! Prince Kalmaar!

Kalmaar: King Kalmaar.

Glutinous: Of course, King Kalmaar. Forgive me, Sire. The resting place of the second amulet, based on the ninja's last known course, and what the girl Nya said about the Island of the Keepers, I believe it might be this one. (He shows Kalmaar a spot on a map.)

Gripe: That's the storm belt, your Majesty.

Kalmaar: Storm belt?

Glutinous: A region plagued by violent storms. Most charts show nothing there, but this one, this shows a small island.

Kalmaar: That's it. (He grabs Glutinous' magnifying glass to study the map.)

Gripe: Sire, there's nothing there. But --

Kalmaar: That is it! That is the location of the second amulet. Prepare my troops. We're going hunting.

In the Hydro Bounty, the ninja, Maya, and Benthomaar are gathered at the kitchen.

Jay: Okay, so, let me get this straight. Kalmaar needs two amulets to awaken this huge serpent Wojira, and he's got one of them already?

Benthomaar: Correct. The Wave Amulet.

Jay: And the second is the Storm Amulet that we found on the Island of the Keepers?

Lloyd: Yes. Which means we better get there first and make sure he doesn't get his hands on it.

Acid: wait, wait, wait. Who are the Keepers?

Nya: oh that's right, you weren't there. The Keepers are basically the protectors of the amulet.

Acid: hm, ok. So we don't let Kalmaar have this amulet.

Maya: Or he'll awaken Wojira and destroy the surface world.

Zane: I fail to see how the amulets will awaken Wojira. How are they linked?

Nya: It's really weird. But we saw it. Wojira is a huge snake, and she has these two holes on her head. And the amulets fit inside.

Jay: Inside her head? Gross!

Maya: And they were zapping her with electricity. That's what was making Nya's powers go haywire --

Suddenly, the Bounty lurches violently. They all head to the control room.

Lloyd: P.I.X.A.L., what was that?

P.I.X.A.L.: It is the electrical storm. We are approaching the Island of the Keepers. Please secure yourselves. I will attempt to dive to a safer depth to avoid the storm, but we are likely to experience some turbulence. (Everyone but Jay buckles up. Some rocks hit the Bounty, and Jay crashes around the room.) I'll just go ahead. Bear left, two degrees.

Nya: Left rudder, two degrees.

Jay continues crashing around the room as Acid snickers at him.

Jay: Oh come on!

Nya: Jay, your chair does have a seat belt, you know.

Jay: Ugh, are we there yet?

P.I.X.A.L.: Affirmative.

Nya: Benthomaar, the Keepers can be a little, uh, touchy. So it might be better if you let us do the talking. And possibly you too Acid, you weren't with us when we came here.

Jay: Yeah, they know us. We're old friends.

Benthomaar: As you wish.

Acid: gotcha.
