Borg may have created the Digiverse with good intentions, it was taken over by the Digital Over-Over-Over-Over—
It looks like the corrupted code spread to this memory.
Jay
Maybe some of these pictures are traps.
Jay
It's a Zane puzzle, so Zane's picture has gotta be a safe move.
You know, sometimes I forget that Zane isn't human.
Jay
Really? Heh! Because he's covered in metal, you know.
The corrupted code seems confined to Zane's secondary systems for now. I can temporarily reroute his memory functions through the Samurai X Computer to buy you some time, but not much.
That means if we don't solve these puzzles soon, Zane might lose control...for good.
Jay
Ooh! It's a riddle! Lucky for you guys, I'm even better at riddles than I am at puzzles. Haha. "Feed me and I grow, always hungry. Give me something to drink and I die, always angry".
That sounds like it could be Fire. These symbols must be the possible answers! Look, there's a tiny flame!
Careful. One wrong answer could break down the rest of Zane's security system.
Jay
Lightning bolt, drop of Water, Smoke— Ew! Is that a foot?
The foot symbol denotes Speed. This appears to be a puzzle about the Elemental Masters.
Some of those aren't even on this puzzle! The answer is Fire, guys. Fire!
Kai's impatience gives me an idea. Perhaps we should consider the Elemental Masters as a whole rather than as individuals. What did they desire? What did they accomplish?
Jay
Well, they ended the Serpentine War, and they stopped Krux and Acronix from taking over the world.
They gave their powers to the next generation of Elemental Masters.
Jay
That's right. We're the Elemental Masters now. And you know what I just realized? "Feed me and I grow, always hungry." But we all like to eat. "Give me something to drink and I die, always angry." But only one of us is angry all the time and can't swim. [realizes] It's Kai. The answer must be Fire!
I have been running logic scenarios since we began the puzzle, and Fire is a 99.9 percent match.
That's three votes for Fire. Me, Jay, and Zane.
We did it! The answer was Fire.
The answer was never not Fire!
Jay
I just wanted to be sure.
[Jay and Cole, in their new appearances, enter an ancient temple]
Jay
Cole, you're my friend, but right now you're my worst enemy. You have no idea how time travel works.
If someone goes back in time and alters the past, our reality as we know it would change. We could look totally different and not even know it.
Jay
But we don't. Thus, Master Wu must have slipped into a time stream into the future.
Whenever he is, it's been a year. It's time we find him. [walks up to a monk] Uh, hi. Sorry to bother you. Cole, Master of Earth. This is Jay, Master of Blabber.
Jay
Lightning.
We heard that an old man who lost his memory wandered in from the cold. About so high, long beard, drinks a lot of tea.
[The monk doesn't answer]
Jay
I told you not to introduce yourself as the Master of Earth. No one knows what that means.
No, you bolt head, everyone here took a vow of silence.
Jay
[turns back to the monk] Can you point us to him? [the monk points] Thank you! I like your place! [he and Cole see a man] Wait, if it's him, and he lost his memory, don't remind him of that stupid TV show I once hosted, okay?
[The man turns around, but it's not Wu]
Jay
Oh, come on, we came all this way, and it's not him? Aw, th-that's it. I quit.
I'm tired of losing people in my life. Wu would never quit on us, and we're not quitting on him.
Jay
If he's really still out there, couldn't he at least send a letter from the future, or leave a message to stand the test of time? He's wise. He'd find a way.
We just have to keep looking.
Jay
Yeah, you do that. And while you're at it, I'll be doing something more useful, like being a ninja.
Ha! Some ninja you are. You talk more than you fight!
Jay
At least I'm entertaining. All you do is judge and act like you know everything!
MMonk
Would you stop fighting?!
[The ninja meet up]
[sees Lloyd] Hey, there he is. You're late.
Kai was late too, if it is any consolation.
Thanks for meeting me here. It's been a while since we've all been under one roof. [Nya giggles and Cole nudges Jay] What?
Jay
Are we gonna talk about it?
Sounds like our little ninja's growing up.
I don't like this one bit. If the Royal Family likes their privacy, why give such a public speech?
Jay
I think it's nice. They're reaching out to the people.
Why all the hate, sis? You just don't like getting gussied up.
All that gold and glitter is for show. The Royal Family are figure heads. They don't have any real power, what purpose do they have?
Their purpose is to be protected, as do all of our traditions. I believe Master Lloyd has spotted something of interest.
[They see Lloyd staring at the Princess]
Looks like he's got an eye for the Princess.
Jay
I guess green is her favorite color.
You do know I can hear you, right?
HHutchins
While you are in our service, you have full access to the complimentary royal buffet. Anything you want is at your disposal. Exotic fruits, assorted vegetables, scones, and all-you-can-eat cake.
Ah, thank you, but I gave up sweets. My body is a temple.
Jay
Ever since Master Wu went missing, Cole has been a real party pooper.
Jay
I'll explain later.
[The baby starts crying]
Maybe he's thirsty. Give him some milk.
I tried. He doesn't like milk.
Jay
What else do babies drink?
He's a baby! He hasn't learned how to talk yet.
Jay
Oh, maybe he needs a diaper change.
Oh, my gosh, do we even have diapers?
Why would we have diapers? We're ninja.
Jay
Ooh, maybe we can use one of our hoods instead.
We'll draw straws. Loser gives up their hood.
[singing to the baby] The spider's in the house, sleep sleep. The spider bit the mouse, sleep deep. Don't wake up or else you'll find a spider in your mouth.
[The baby stops crying and falls asleep]
Wow, you're really good at that.
Nah, he's just tired. Too much excitement. He'll go to sleep now.
Jay
[trying to catch a meatball with a fork] Haha, come here, you little sucker! [accidentally stabs Kai]
Jay
[gasps] Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—
[stops Jay from removing the fork from his hand] Don't! Just don't.
Proximity alarm. Something is approaching the Bounty fast.
Oh. He must be here to help us out.
I'm afraid that is unlikely.
Because my system is overrun.
You're making no sense, P.I.X.A.L.. What are you talking about?
This would be a good time to make a minor confession… I am Samurai X.
How can you be Samurai X?
Jay
Totally called it!
Jay
Did too!
Jay
[sees the baby] Cole? Hehe. I thought you put the baby down for a nap.
You mean little Cole Jr.? I did, but he was pretty restless.
Jay
Uh-huh. Yeah. Then why is little Cole Jr. standing in front of me and passing me the pliers?
Uh... Cole Jr. is walking now? I don't know much about babies, but are babies supposed to walk?
No. No, they are not. And I don't think they know what pliers are. [the baby blows on a cup of tea to cool it, then drinks it] And they definitely can't do that.
Jay
Okay, now I've seen it all. Now I really quit.
BBaby
Ninja never quit. [laughs]
[The ninja, Lloyd, Harumi and Hoffen stare in shock.]
HHoffen
I know that phrase....
Jay
Uh, guys, I don't think that's Cole Jr., that's Master Wu!
