"The Ascent."
Here are the facts!
We are lost underground, separated from our friends,
who are being hunted by an evil necromancer
and an army of reanimated skeletons.
We have very few weapons and no way out.
But we are not giving in to despair.
Where there is a will, there is a way,
and we will find it.
I want suggestions! Ideas!
Uh...
-Uh...
Ooh.
I've got an idea!
But this one's a little nuts.
-This one? -Let's hear it.
These are the tracks we found earlier,
which I'm guessing lead to the surface.
And let's pretend this is the mine cart.
We take the wheels off of it,
strap the axle to the mech,
like a pair of giant roller-skates,
and use the mech to propel the other carts
back up the tracks.
Propellant, please.
Then we get in the carts,
and go zipping back up the tracks,
like this...
Explosion is us?
That idea seems a little, uh...
What's the word I'm looking for?
Oh, yeah, nuts.
I told you that at the start.
Nobody listens.
Well, I don't hear any other suggestions.
So unless you guys want to give up
and just go back to Rock-Bottom...
I vote in favor of Cole's plan.
As do I!
Korgran Also.
And also, Korgran's non-speaking ax.
You guys are bananas!
Huh?
Well, Plundar?
What do your dice advise?
I'm deciding this one.
And you got me this far, so I'm with you all the way.
I don't get it.
There's no buttons, no dials,
how are you supposed to operate this thing?
What did you do?
Nothing. I barely touched it.
Hmm.
Is it possible that this mech is powered entirely by Elemental Energy?
Huh?
This is gonna be a piece of cake!
Sorry, my bad.
Uh, left! A little left!
Careful!
Keep it together, Cole.
-Concentrate.
Okay, I think I got it now.
You can do this.
It's just like walking on roller skates.
On really big, giant-sized roller skates.
Whoops!
Sorry about that.
Oh...
Whoops.
Sorry.
Cole.
Okay, I definitely got it now.
Looks good!
Everyone ready?
No. Not really.
-I'm worried. -Don't be.
This is gonna work.
Not that. It's my father.
If we get out of here, I'm going to have to face him.
-Aren't I? -Yeah.
But not alone.
We'll be with you.
Okay. Let's do it.
Here goes nothing.
Is it too late for me to change my mind?
Oh, no, no!
This is outrageous.
Cole! The lava monster!
What if it's still in that cave waiting for us?
What, just standing there? Staring at a wall?
No way, I'm sure he's gone back to his...
Eat my dust!
You did it, Cole, we're losing him.
Oh, dear.
Hey!
-Whew.
Hey!
You again?
Ah!
This thing has a sword?
Yeah!
Cole, the mine cart!
Stop the mine cart!
Cole!
Look!
-Master Wu! Hurry, Cole!
We're not gonna make it!
Yes, we will!
Big stone thing flies, too?
You guys okay?
We're going too fast.
I can't slow it down.
The lava is overheating the controls.
This is gonna get a little bumpy.
What did you say, Engelbert?
Me? Nothing.
Oh. I thought you made a sound.
What kind of sound?
A sound like...
Whoo!
"Whoo"?
Don't be ridiculous.
Why would I make a sound like...
Whoo!
Are you okay?
Oh, look.
We're in the palace gardens.
Is that the sky?
It sure is.
You mean we made it?
We're out?
-We made it!
We are no longer Lowly!
We're the Upply!
Upply! Upply! Upply!
Chompy? Did my father do this to you?
Oh, that makes me mad!
That makes me so mad!
Just hang on, Chompy.
Cole?
Oh!
Halt!
Princess Vania?
Hailmar!
You.
Hailmar, it's okay. Cole is a friend.
The King gave orders for the Ninja to be arrested.
On sight!
He said they are traitors.
That's not true!
My father is the traitor, Hailmar!
He's lying to you!
Stand aside, Princess!
Hailmar, listen!
My father is lying to you!
He's using you!
Cole, and these men, they were betrayed my father.
They were cast into the mountain!
Stand aside! On the King's orders!
-Go! -What?
He won't hurt me. Just go.
Cole, I will stay with her.
Find the others, save them.
On the King's orders,
I command you, stand aside!
Master Wu, catch!
Stop! I command you...
-Chompy!
Chompy?
Attack!
Stop!
Hailmar, stand down.
I command you.
I am the heiress to the throne of Shintaro
and your future queen.
Call off your dragon.
Not until you're ready to listen.
