Lloyd: Nice to meet you, Okino and Okina. 

Crystal: This is our team. 

Jay: I'm Jay.

Kai: Kai.

Cole: The name's Cole.

Nya: And I'm Nya.

Okina: We are honoured. 

Okino: Allow us to humbly pledge our services.

(Okino and Okina bow, offering their swords.)

Nya: Oh, gee, that's really not-

Okino: I, Okino.

Okina: And Okina. Samurai, pledge to serve you.

Okino: And do all in our power to protect you and guide you to the Kay-tana.

(Okino and Okina bow on one knee.)

Lloyd: Thanks, Okino and Okina. That's-

Kai: Just out of curiosity, when you said you failed all your previous masters, how many are we talking here? Two? Three?

Nya: (whispers) Kai...

Kai(whispers) What? I can ask that, can't I?

Crystal: (whispers) No you can't.

Okino: (sighs looking at the ground)

(Okina gestures to a large number of swords in the ground.)

Jay: Oh... Yeah...

Nya: (Pinches Kai)

Kai: Ow! What's with everyone pinching me?

Lloyd: Okay, so a few. But this time will be different. 

Crystal: Yea, right, Okina and Okino?

Okino: Yes, I swear it.

Lloyd: Lead on, Samurai. We trust you.

Okino: This way. Into the Forest of Discontent.

Okina: And then beyond, past the Cliffs of Hysteria. 

Okino and Okina: And finally, the Maze of the Red Dragon.

(The Team head into the Forest of Discontent. When they enter, they stop.)

Kai: Forest of Discontent? Why do they call it that?

(Spikes start shooting out of the nearby bushes. Okino blocks them with his sword.)

Cole: What was that?

Okino: Thorns of Discontent.

Lloyd: It came from those bushes.

(Everyone pulls out their weapons and put their masks on.)

Lloyd: Let's spread out. 

Crystal: Right, eight targets are harder to hit than one.

Cole: Good idea. I got the bush in the middle.

Nya: I'll take the one on the left.

Jay: I'll take the one on the right.

Kai: I'll hang back and make sure no bushes are following us.
