The Phoenix door opened and Max, Twitch and Spike came running out excited. The three of them scanned the jungle, full of joy in their hearts to be home again.

"Who knew that the next amulet would be in our home? I've missed this place" Max said happily, taking a deep breath to smell the jungle, to recall the scent of his home.

"Whoa" Twitch and Spike said amazed and excited to be home too. The others came out of the ship too. Magus came floating by, admiring the jungle.

"Ah I haven't seen this place in a long time" Magus commented. "Wait. You've been here before Magus?" Spike asked curiously.

Magus nodded to him yes. "When I assembled the guardians, I went to their homes to find them. Of course finding them now will be tricky" Magus explained, the last part he sounded serious.

"How will finding the guardians be tricky Magus? We just have to find them right?" Zinti asked puzzled, her left ear tilted down.

"Before it was easy. But that was before they were gaurdians. Now that they are and have powerful magic amulets, they will make it challenging for us to find them" Magus explained serious but then he smiled and looked at Max, Twitch and Spike.

"Good thing the four of us know our way in this jungle" Magus commented as he floated to the trio. Max and his friends smiled at him.

Zinti's ears perked in realization "Wait about Khan? Hows he gonna come with us in the jungle?" She asked worried about her shark friend. Khan was powerful in the water but on land, he was both vulnerable and at disadvantaged.

Max rubbed the back of his mane unsure. But Magus had a sneaky smile on his face. Tazer noticed and stared at the old lion "Let me guess. You have a magic spell that could help Khan walk on land. Does he grow legs like the little mermaid?" Tazer asked jokingly.

"Well I'm not giving him legs but I do know how I can help him" Magus said cheerfully as he zoomed back into the ship past Leena.

Leena walked out worried, her head down, rubbing her arms. Max looked at her worriedly. Ever since their first battle with Apachi, Leena was getting wierd dreams and hearing a voice from a knight they haven't met or even know yet. It was scary for her

You ok?" He asked her concerned as he walked up to her. "I don't know. It's wierd to say this but I feel something strange inside me. But I have no idea what it is" she explained to him worried. After that strange dream, Leena felt something wierd, something magical.

Max lifted her chin up so she could look at him. Max smiled at her assuringly "Hey we'll figure this out. We always do. Together" Max assured her confident and Leena smiled at him, feeling better.

Woosh! Something zoomed past the lions and it surprised them. "Khan!" Zinti yelled excited. The shark was actually floating and zooming around them in with particles of water surrounding him.

"Ha ha! Now I'm strong both on water and land" Khan said pleased about this. Magus floated by "Yep. Now you can help us anytime" Magus said as he floated around.

Max chuckled at this but unknown to everyone, something was spying on them from the bushes. It mostly stared at Max.

"Well let's get going" Max said and everyone made their way. Somewhere else, Apachi, Kali and Remra were spying on them through a portal mirror back the hideout.

"Look Khan can walk on land! You can grant me that spell and I can help you find the amulets" Remra insisted to Apachi but the pup wouldn't budge.

"First let's give Kali a chance here. I want to see how much progress she can make in stopping Max and his friends" Apachi explained and Kali smirked at the remora. Remra glared at her annoyed.

"Plus I already lost the book. I won't risk losing the water amulet. Kali" Apachi said and the tigress looked at him.

"Go follow them. And if you can, take Max out. But be careful. If they can defeat me twice and defeated your queen, Felina, don't underestimate them" Apachi warned her as he opened a portal for her.

Kali unsheathed her blades from her gauntlets and snickered "I am more powerful than Queen Felina. I will succeed where she has failed" Kali promised determined before she jumped into the portal.

Kali landed into the jungle and smirking, she walked off to find them. But the person that spied on Max and his friends was still in the bushes and saw her.

"Looks like Max came back home for a reason. I better go find him. And fast!" The person said, his voice revealing to be a male and he ran off.
