Hi, honey.
Mom!
I don't want you to be sick anymore, Mom.
I know.
But we don't always get what we want, do we?
Your father said you got in trouble at school.
Yeah, but it wasn't my fault.
There's this kid, and he's just a big bully.
He's always picking on the little kids and--
And you got in a fight.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I promise I won't fight anymore.
I'll be good from now on.
I'll make you proud and,
and... [sniffles]
Oh, Cole.
Don't you see? I am proud.
I want you to promise me, Cole,
that you will always stand up
to those who are cruel and unjust.
Always.
I promise, Mom.
[Cole] Always.
[somber music]
What are we doing?
We've explored this tunnel a million times.
If there was a way out of Rock-Bottom,
we would have found it already.
Come now, Plundar.
It doesn't hurt to have someone take a fresh look.
It's hurting my feet!
We've been at this for hours!
Are we having a tea time chat,
or are we trying to escape this dungeon?
Another dead end?
Another dead end.
Good Sir Ninja, if it makes you feel any better,
the four of us have been failing to escape this place for years.
Well thank you, but that doesn't really help.
[scoffs] What are we doing following this guy?
[Plundar] This is a waste of time!
We're already a bunch of failed adventurers.
We don't need a leader to help us fail more.
Ooh. Cole isn't helping us fail! He's helping us escape.
For your information, Cole is a fantastic leader!
Oh, yeah? Where's he leading us?
In circles? Because guess where we are.
That's right.
Back in Rock-Bottom.
-[grunts] -[splashes]
[somber music]
What is on your mind, Cole? You seem troubled.
Ever since I saw my mother's locket,
I've felt her presence.
She's connected to this place somehow,
I can feel it.
[sighs] Will you listen to me?
What am I talking about?
Why would my mother have come to this place?
We're at the bottom of the world!
You're right.
This is the lowest you have ever been.
Thanks for noticing.
No, I mean your mother once told me
that her powers were strongest when she was closest to the earth.
Really?
You've never been farther underground, Cole.
Never been more surrounded by the very thing that powers you.
The Skull Sorcerer thought he was burying you.
But what if he was actually bringing you closer to the earth?
[Master Wu] To the source of your elemental power?
So what do I do?
-Try to connect with the Earth? -Perhaps.
Or perhaps you just have to stop worrying so much
and let the Earth connect with you.
[suspenseful music]
I'm not feeling anything.
[Master Wu] Cole. Open your eyes.
Whoa!
[suspenseful music]
Let it in!
Let the energy of the earth infuse you!
I feel it!
It's coming from the ground all around me!
[rumbling]
[gasps]
There's a tunnel down there! Maybe a way out!
We're with you!
Fine.
[suspenseful music]
[suspenseful music continues]
[shrieks]
[rumbles]
[gasps]
[both grunting]
[all pant]
Where's Cole and Master Wu?
-[both coughing] -You...
you saved my life!
Nothing you haven't done for me a thousand times.
Is everyone okay?
But which tunnel do we take?
Cole, touch the ground again.
[rumbling]
Across the lava?
Ugh, what am I saying, of course, across the lava.
All these nice tunnels we could take, but no.
We gotta take the tunnel on the other side of the lava.
You think I'm any happier about it?
But that's the way.
-I feel it. -Ha!
Korgran fears no lava.
Korgran drinks lava for breakfast!
No, you don't. You drink juice.
What? [grunts]
Oh, right. Juice!
Korgran fears no juice.
Lava, on other hand, very scary.
Is the path filled with danger? Yes.
Would it be easier to turn back? Of course.
But we can't stop the Skull Sorcerer and save our friends
trapped down here, can we?
We can't stop him if we're dead, either.
Then I guess you better roll your dice and take a chance.
What's it going to be?
Turn back? Or keep going?
[groans]
[suspenseful music]
[all grunting]
[growls]
Almost there!
Wait.
I sense danger!
[Plundar] What are you talking about? We're practically home free.
No! I sense tremors in the ground beneath us.
[Cole] I've never felt anything like this.
[suspenseful music]
[growls]
Never seen anything like that!
[Cole] Look out!
[grunting]
Team, listen up!
Korgran, frontal assault!
[Cole] Keep its focus! Look out for those tentacles!
Tentacles should look out for Korgran!
[Korgran grunting]
-[growling] -[all grunting]
[grunts]
[whirs]
[Cole grunting]
Master Wu, block those lava balls
and send them right back at him!
Look out! More lava flying at us!
-[grunts] -Two more to the left!
Fungus, see if you can distract him
with some more of those snow flurries!
I will endeavor to do more than just "distract him!"
[growls]
[grunts]
-Plundar! See if you can sneak around... -[Plundar grunts]
and reach that boulder! It just needs a little nudge.
Oh, that's a job for Adam.
[Plundar] Get it, Adam!
Get it!
[growls]
[sighs]
[chitters, growls]
Adam, now!
-[water sloshing] -[Plundar grunts]
[rumbling]
[both grunt]
-[Cole] Everybody alright? -Yes.
-I'm okay. -Doing well, Sir Ninja.
-I've been better. -Korgran still alive.
Good job, Adam! Good boy!
-[chitters] -Yeah.
Not bad for a bunch of failed adventurers.
[all chuckling]
[Vania] Phew.
Hang on. I'm gonna seal this passage.
Just in case that lava monster decides to come back.
[rumbling]
Hey. Hold up.
I need to say something to you.
I was wrong about you.
You been straight with us.
You got us outta there,
and, well , you're okay in my book.
Thanks, guys.
But let's not start getting all huggy yet.
We got a long way to go.
For the first time, in a long while,
I believe we have a chance.
Lead on, young ninja!
[whirring]
[Vania] Phew!
Let's hope it's downhill from here.
I mean, I know it's "uphill"
but, you know, "downhill-uphill."
That would be nice.
[Plundar] Yep! I'm willing to bet the worst is behind us.
[burbling]
