Lagravis: episode 4. The Joy Ride

(Lion Temple - map room)

* the episode starts off with Laval sweeping the floors of a room with heaps of throne like chears on the edge and a huge map of Chima pixilated on the ground, Eris approaching.*

Eris: hey Laval! why so glum?

Laval: ugh! gotta clean the "bap" room..!

Eris: woah! you get to clean the map room?! *walks to the middle.* I never knew this place was so awesome!

Laval: probably cause of all the dirt, haven't swept it in a while. *continues sweeping*

Eris: *coughs*

Laval: oh! sorry about that! *stops.* my dad says a great leader has to understand the value of hard work so he's making me do all these lame chores!

Eris: *clears her throat.* it's not lame! *flies around the room.* look at all these amazing places! I've seen a lot of them while flying around Chima! but wouldn't it be awesome to actually visit a few?!

Laval: hmm?

(Lion Temple - parking area)

Laval and Eris: *running to a lion tank.* ROAD TRIP!

* they toss their weapons inside, Laval grabbing the wheel and driving off*

Cragger: *while not under the effects of the persuader looks through a telescope and sees Laval and Eris.* Laval? Eris? hey hey guys!

Crooler: focus on the mission Cragger. *blows in Cragger's face the gas of the persuader*

Cragger: *coughs.* how lucky can we get?! *chuckles.* Lagravis left this morning, now Laval and Eris are going too!

Crooler: wonderful. the lions will have no idea what we're doing until it's way too late.

Cragger and Crooler: *laughter*

(roads of Chima)

Eris: it's so cool that your father let us drive his tank Laval! you do have permission don't you?

Laval: uh, not exactly..

Eris: Laval..!

Laval: but he's out of town! what's the worst that could happen?

* they reach a bridge, but Laval accidentally nearly steers them off road when 1 side of the tank's rolling wheels goes off edge*

Laval and Eris: woah!

* easily Laval pulls the tank back up*

Laval: sorry about that! *continues driving.* first time I've ever driven this tank.

Eris: really..? I never would've guessed...

* while driving, the weight of the tank makes a tiny bit of solid stone luckily at the bottom of the bridge fall, almost even hitting some raven jets*

Razar: HEY! WATCH THE MERCHANDISE FUR BAG!

(the falling jungle)

* Laval successfully gets the tank into the falling jungle*

Laval: see! I just needed a little practise

Eris: *sighs.* and some solid ground.

Laval: it's all good!

* thanks to what there is to know about this area, the trees start to fall*

Laval: woah!

Eris: you were saying..?

Laval: The Falling Jungle? I've cleared looking to hit some (something) spots, not have the (something) spots hit us.

Eris: sorry.. I probably should've told you to turn left back there instead of right.. but it all looks so different from down here. *a tree falls.* woah! now, the next left should bring us some place really beautiful!

(Creek)

* for some reason, the tank is seen to have somehow been put in the creek when it's seen getting pulled out by Gorzan using a rope, Laval and Eris being safe and dry on land*

Eris: *sighs.* thanks so much Gorzan. we're so lucky you were passing by.

Gorzan: hey, always happy to help a dude and dude-et in distress, dig?

Laval: yeah! totally, I dig

Gorzan: no! I mean dig, *passes Laval a shovel.* the mud.

Laval: oh! yeah! of course..

Eris: *chuckles to Laval having to dig out the tank*

Laval: okay, I can't drive, and you have no sense of direction, but it's still a pretty fun road trip right?

Eris: yeah! as long as your dad doesn't see all that mud on his tank

Laval: oh don't worry, we have lots of time to clean it. my dads visiting the rhino tribe hoping to sign a treaty with them

Eris: the rhinos? and a treaty? wow. good luck with that.

(Rhino Quarry - outside terrain)

* Lagravis, Longtooth and Leonidas make their way to the Rhino's Quarry on small little lion tanks*

Longtooth: rough terain. we should've brought the tanks sir!

Lagravis: yes, but I wanted to make sure the rhinos know this is a peaceful visit, we can't afford any more misunderstands in Chima.

(Rhino Quarry)

* they finally reach the Rhino's Quarry, but when they get there they're given no welcoming committee except for all the rhino's either walking or doing something with rocks*

Rogon: *waters 2 giant rocks like flowers.* grow big and strong my friends

Rhigor: *chuckles when smashing his horn against a rock but not being able to succseed, but is able too when he plugs a Chi*

Longtooth: WORST USE OF CHI EVER!

Lagravis: it's not our place to judge how other tribes use their chi. let's just find someone here who will discuss a treaty with us.

* the 3 lions continue to ride amongst the rhino's*

(Shadow Hills - Spiral Mountain)

* Eris and Laval visit their first sight of the day, Spiral Mountain, a large formation that is shaped like a spiral going around which someone can also ride on it as if it's a road, that being what Eris and Laval are doing to look upon all of what they can*

Laval: WOW! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!

Eris: yeah, it's called the Shadow Hills. they say, the rocks here look like shadows of our great ancestors.

* Laval loves the sigt, but this causes him to again nearly go off road*

Laval: woah! *pulls it back up.* sorry about.. *continues driving*

Eris: *points.* and over there, is Everglow Falls, and Humming Moss Point. that canyon filled with razar sharp rocks that we almost crashed into! it's called Shredder Basin!

Laval: hey come on! *stops.* this is a narrow road! and a big tank! and the mud made my wheels slippery and-!

Eris: we should probably head back before we "really" destroy your dads tank.

Laval: *sighs.* okay.. *continues upwards.* just one more stop

(Rhino Quarry)

* a fight breaks out between Runk and Rukus, for an unexpected reason though*

Lagravis: *movess in between the fight.* hey hey hey you two! break it up!

Runk: woah! don't be so rude! we're trying to fight here!

Lagravis: look, I'm sure there are other ways to settle your differences-

Rukus: differences? *chuckles and walks over to Runk.* you make it sound like we're loud at each other

Runk: *laughs.* that's a good one! who fights when they're mad?

Rukus: yeah! we only fight when we're happy! right Runk old buddy? *punches Runk's arm hard*

Runk: *laughs.* I LOVE YOU BRO! *hits Rukus*

* the 2 still fight, Lagravis being so confused that he has to back away*

Lagravis: what a, strange tribe...

* Runk and Rukus trade blows*

(Shadow Hill - Spiral Mountain - sunset)

* on a rock, Laval and Eris look at a really beautiful view of Chima*

Eris: oh Laval, it's so beautiful

Laval: my father used to take me up here when I was a kid, best sunset in all of Chima he'd say.

Eris: I wouldn't argue with him there. and speaking of your father-

Laval: don't worry! his tanks fine!

Eris: *sighs and looks back at the tank.* I know. once its parking brake is on, that tanks not going anywhere

Laval: uhhh.. what parking brake?

* thanks to Laval not having any knowledge of the parking brake, the tank slides down the Spiral, Laval and Eris instantly going to go stop it but are too late*

Laval: uh oh!

(Shadow Hills - the woods - night)

* Eris and Laval finally get down to solid earth and into the woods, seeing Lagravis's tank ruined and broken down*

Laval: *gasps.* OH NO! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! MY FATHER'S TANK!I WAS SO CAREFUL!

Eris: actually, you almost wrecked it.. in the Shadow Hills, Shredder Basin, the Crocodile Swamp, Falling Jungle and the grand arch way too.

Laval: AH! MY DAD'S GONNA TOTALLY FLIP OUT! WHAT DO WE NOW?!

Eris: don't worry! I got an idea

(Beavers Village - outside - night)

* Eris is seen to have brought Laval to the territory of a new tribe, Beavers. a place that's made entirely out of water, green and wood*

Laval: BEAVERS?! THAT'S YOUR IDEA?!

* they walk onto a wooden bridge in the water.*

Eris: they can supposebly rebuild anything, and they love doing it

Laval: are you sure about this..?

Eris: *at a loss for words.* yes..? I mean I've never met the beavers myself but I've flown over here plenty of times.

* by the time they reach the end of the bridge, they notice the whole tribe of beavers surrounding them from the water with a glaring stare, slowly making their way to the 2 friends*

Lava: oh no.

Eris: relax! let me talk to them. *walks over to the edge of the bridge.* hey guys, what's up! I am Eris! from the Eagle Mountain! just up the sky a bit!

* the beavers still don't listen, instead they get more closer adding a lot more speed*

Eris: *backs up to Laval.* we don't mean any harm!

Laval: not good! I hate water! whatever made you think they'd fix our tank?!

* to their surprise, a white beaver (the leader presumably because all the other beavers are brown instead of white) called Bezar flips out of the water and onto the bridge*

Bezar: did you say you need a TANK that needs fixing?

* multiple beavers jump up and say the word "fix it" at different times*

Laval: uh.. yeah! it's a lion tank

beavers: *gasps.* A LION TANK?!

Bezar: *leads them somewhere.* OH PLEASE TELL US! TELL US!

(Beaver's Village - workshop)

* Bezar seems to have taken both Eris and Laval to some sort of workshop where the beavers are already fixing Lagravis's tank while the 2 friends and Bezar watched from up top*

Bezar: easy now. *hangs onto the top.* you'll all get your chance to do some repairs

Laval: thank you so much for helping us!

Bezar: *lands back down.* no, thank you for driving so badly!

Laval: HEY! I don't drive ba-

Eris: *shoves Laval.* it's a compliment Laval! our crash gives them work, and they love to work!

Bezar: but only our most noble citizens are rewarded with manual labour, trouble makers are sent on vacation.

* 2 beavers fight over a wheel*

Bezar: IF YOU TWO DON'T BEHAVE! I'M GIVING YOU BOTH A THREE DAY HOLIDAY!

the 2 beavers: *gasps while stopping the fight*

Laval: wow! that's amazing! I was barely able to finish my chores in the map room before

Bezar: *his mouth waters to the word "chores"* ch-ch-chores?

* the beavers stop their work and turn around with the same feeling as Bezar*

Bezar: it's too bad the rest of the tribe isn't here. they'd love this!

Eris: huh. where is everyone else?

(the dam - night)

* somewhere, the rest of the beaver tribe is shown working on a gigantic dam that blocks the chi filled water from the rest of Chima, this not being acceptable to either Eris or Laval*

Laval: you're building a dam..? up there?

Bezar: yes! it's work, and work is fun!

Laval: *puts his hand on Bezar's shoulder.* but that water provides the chi for all of Chima! *turns around worried.* if you block it, oh no!

Eris: did someone ask you to do this?!

Bezar: yeah! a crocodile, *points.* the one up there on that cliff

* Cragger, Crooler and some crocs are seen on the cliff*

Laval: CRAGGER!

Eris: it gets worse...

* the chi water is also shown to be free on only one root, the Crocodile Swamp*

Eris: looks like they're also building a canal to divert the chi water..

Laval: TO THE CROCODILE SWAMP?! ARE THEY SERIOUSLY TRYING TO STEAL ALL OUR CHI FOR THEMSELVES?!

* Crug and Crawley sneak up on them*

Crug: steal is such an ugly word! we'd prefer to see it as more of a restructuring. *jumps up.* you lions used to control the chi, now we will! now.. *chuckles*

* Eris and Laval are forced to give up their weapons*

Laval: ugh! can this road trip get any worse..?

(Lion Temple - throne room - night)

* the sacred pool is completely dried out*

lion elder: what happened to all our chi...? *faints*

* a lion hurries to alert Lagravis by giving out a distress roar*

(the dam - night)

Eris: that's the lions distress roar! your dad will be here soon, his.. tank...

Laval: *sighs.* yup. things, just got worse.

(Rhino Quarry - night)

* for some reason, Lagravis has not yet known of the distress call yet. instead he stands around a stone table with a map on it with some rhino's surrounding it, totally not that interested*

Lagravis: as you will see, a treaty between our tribes will help us protect Chima. *has a Binary Abacus.* there is strength in number, adding your troops to the number of warriors already in our alliance. we arrive at- *looks at the Binary Abacus and sees some beads missing*

Rogon: *eats the beads.* rock shish kebab!

* Lagravis is confused on the Rhino's lack of intelligence*

* the distress roar catches the lions off guard*

Lagravis: THE DISTRESS ROAR?!

* curious on what it's about, Lagravis, Longtooth and Leonidas go back to the temple*

(Lion Temple - outside)

* once another roar happens, Cragger goes away from his telescope*

Cragger: ugh! the lions will be coming soon!

Crooler: oh they won't be a problem. I've asked our wolf friends to offer them some, *chuckles.* road side assistance.

(the woods)

* making their way back, the 3 lions are startled when they hear howling and see a group of wolves after them*

Wilhurt: it's time to give those lions some driving lessons!

wolves: *howling*

Wilhurt: how about a nice wolf sandwich?!

* Winzar and an unknown wolf go at both sides of Leonidas's speedor*

wolf: fresh squeezed lion coming right up!

* the 2 wolves send Leonidas flying into a bush by clashing their speedors against his*

Leonidas: woah!

* they chase after Longtooth*

Winzar: this won't hut a bit!

* Longtooth is flung right into a tree*

Winzar: whoops! I lied.

Lagravis: dirty wolves. *turns and continues to drive*

* some more wolves charge towards Lagravis howling*

Woriz: give it up lion!

Lagravis: *roars, ejecting his speedor with him on it from the tank and charging to the enemy*

Woriz: your tail is toast!

Lagravis: I don't think so!

* howling*

Lagravis: *roars a counter sound while lifting up his weapon ready to fight*

(Lion Temple - outside)

* meanwhile, seeing this, both Cragger and Crooler laugh*

Cragger: nice one Crooler! you use the wolves, I use the beavers, *hangs his arm Crooler's neck and Crooler doing the same, swaying left to right.* and once that Canal is finished! we'll both use all that Chi!

Crooler: *laughs*

(the dam)

* Laval and Eris are escorted with their hands up to solid ground, a heap of beavers surrounding them*

Laval: *sighs.* I really messed up this time. even if my dad makes it here in time he'll find out about his busted tank, and then...

* hearing about a "busted tank" the beavers instantly crowd around Laval*

beaver: wait a sec. DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU HAVE A LION TANK THAT NEEDS FIXING?!

* the beavers jump up and down while saying "fix it!"*

beaver: WOW! I always wanted to work on one of those lion tanks!

* the crocs hold the beavers back*

Crawley: ugh! OUT OF THE WAY BEAVERS! we're taking these prisoners to the boss.

beavers: AWW!

Eris: yeah, you probably wouldn't want to work on this tank any way, it needs to be completely rebuilt!

beavers: COMPLETELY REBUILT?!

* the beavers jump up and chatter in excitement, Eris nudging Laval's arm*

Laval: yeah! and it's a real rush job

beavers: A-A RUSH JOB?!

* all the beavers pull out their tools*

beaver 1: completely rebuilt!

beaver 2: rush job!

beaver 3: REBUILT!

beaver 4: glorious work! GLORIOUS WORK!

Cragger: *sees the whole crowd in the telescope.* what is going on over there?! *spots Laval and Eris.* Laval? and Eris? here?! BRING THEM TO ME NOW!

(the forest)

* Lagravis keeps on charging it forward with the Wilhurt and a new wolf called Wakz doing the same. they exchange roars and howls before they crash into each other. Lagravis quickly rolls away, Woriz going straight for a chi orb*

Lagravis: not this time! *grabs he chi and plugs it letting out a roar*

* Woriz howls and keeps on howling when he's sent flying above the trees without his speedor because Lagravis is holding it still and drops it, scaring away the rest of the pack by letting out an intimidating roar*

(the dam)

* the beavers try to crowd over Laval and Eris but are ketp back by Crawley and Crug*

beaver 1: tell us more about this tank job

beaver 2: WE WANT TO FIX IT!

Crawley: *struggles to keep hold of the beavers.* step aside beavers!

Crug: no! stop! too many beavers..!

* Eris and Laval grab their weapons from the backside of Crawley and Crug and easily get through the 2 crocodiles*

beaver: hey! what's going on here?!

Eris: uhh.. just trying to clear a path so you can get to work on that broken tank AT YOUR BEAVER LODGE!

* all the beavers cheer and hurry back to their lodge, leaving a big spread of dust in their trail*

beaver 1: I can't wait to fix that tank! I'm gonna add new tires and wipes!

beaver 2: me? I'm going to install special doors, AND WINGS!

* right when Laval turns around, Cragger jumps down to his face with some more crocodiles*

Cragger: ugh! Laval! do you have to ruin EVERYTHING I do?!

Laval: no, I don't. sometimes I let Eris ruin stuff too

Eris: AH! *throws her weapon to the dam's structure that takes the water to the Crocodile Swamp, all of it splashing into the dam*

Cragger: NO! MY WATER!

* Eris quickly ka's and flies towards the dam to destroy the rest of it*

Laval: *eliminates all of Cragger's men and chases after him up to the dam, attacking him but Cragger blocking it*

Cragger: YOU'RE FINISHED!

* the chase continues*

Laval: did you really think you could steal all the chi for yourself?

Cragger: I share some with my allies.

Laval: but that chi belongs to everyone! *tackles Cragger and they both get onto the structure holding it all together*

Cragger: then everyone will need to ally with me! cause once I re-round all chi water we'll be the only chi game in town!

* they get back up to the top*

Laval: it's not a game, it's the life force of all Chima!

* they battle all the way up to the dam*

Laval: not more water.

* Eris tries to break open the dam with her weapon but has no luck trying to but then Crooler shows and spooks her*

Crooler: surprise! *attacks Eris*

Eris: CROOLER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Crooler: something my brother should've done long ago! *snorts and attacks Eris again*

* while his sibling tries to take care of Eris, Cragger swims through the water knowing that Laval won't be able to follow him because of it*

Laval: nice try Cragger. but you'll never control the chi!

Cragger: it's interesting. *lies back on a piece of wood.* all this precious chi you fight for comes from water! yet none of you lions can swim!

Laval: I don't have to swim TO BEAT YOU! *rushes to Cragger*

Cragger: *disappears through the water and bounces back in from behind Laval.* you don't see any irony here?! the chi water you so desperately wanna protect, you're surrounded by it! AND IT SHALL BE YOUR DOOM! *jumps from the water and attacks Laval*
