Y/N's true secret was revealed as she has the power to shapeshift into a serpent. Our heroes still accepts her as a team and their friend. The enemy, Scorpions, Spiders and Bats make their own Speedorz. These are The Legends of Chima.
Cue to "Unleash the Power" opening song.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Eagle Legend Beast was flying around in the air making loud shrieking noises. Above the roof, the telescope was watching the Eagle Beast as Lavertus was looking through in his lair.
"It's the Eagle Legend Beast. She's been there all day. Just circling."
Laval looked into the telescope.
"Strange. It's like she's in pain. Why won't she fly away? Hey, Eris, do you think--?"
He stopped to see Eris is gone.
"Eris? Has anyone seen Eris?"
"I think she went off towards the Eagle Legend Beast." Y/N guessed.
Not a minute later, Eris came back and drew a picture of the tower with two circles on the left and the shape of the bear on the right as they're balancing on the slab.
"It's some kind of giant seesaw trap with two eagle eggs here, and the Bear Legend Beast here."
"Very interesting, yes? You grab the eggs, seesaw tilts, Bear goes smash! Move the Bear, seesaw tilts, eggs go smash!" Razar said, getting to what she's saying whilst scaring her.
"There's no way to save them both."
"Without the smash!" Razar repeated.
This made Eris shake with a whimper.
"Razar!" Y/N scolded, glaring at the raven.
"What? Is it something I said? The smash is a problem here, yes?"
Eris got scared again and Y/N quickly comforted her by hugging her with Saskia slithering around Eris and gave her a light kiss on the head.
"Don't worry, Eris. We'll save them." Laval assured. "Maybe Bladvic has some ideas about rescuing the Bear Beast. Bladvic?"
They noticed Bladvic was snoring as he standing there with his head down, sleeping. Worriz poked him to try and wake him up but nothing happened.
"Is he napping again? All I ever wanted was to find my Wolf Beast, but I get nothing. Bladvic's Bear Beast is right there, waiting for him. And he just sleeps."
Worriz ran over to the door and opened it.
"It's not fair. Sorry, team, but I need some time to find my Beast."
He then walked off without looking back.
"Worriz?" Laval tried to call out to him, but he was ignored.
"I understand his frustration, but is he going to be okay?" Y/N asked in concern.
"Dude just need some chill space. We'll be fine without him for this one." Gorzan assured.
"Okay, but still, shouldn't we..."
Cragger leaned over to Bladvic's ear and yelled.
"...wake Bladvic?!"
Laval approached them.
"Loud sounds don't work on Bears."
He whispered to Bladvic's ear.
"You have to talk very softly."
Suddenly, Bladvic shot up in shock, waking up. Y/N was surprised by this.
"What? Who's shouting? I know about my Bear. The Dream. We all know. Now find the secret garage and let me get some sleep."
Bladvic collapsed on the ground and started snoring.
"Huh? You have any idea what he's talking about with this dream?" Laval questioned.
"And the secret garage?" Cragger added.
"Yeah, about that..."
Lavertus came over, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"I might've had the Bear Beast over here once or twice to help me with something in my secret garage, but I don't know how Bladvic knows about that."
"Wait, you have a secret garage?" Laval asked in surprise.
"Well, yeah, I was gonna tell you about it sooner or later. Didn't want you to get too excited though."
"Why would we be excited?" Cragger asked.
Lavertus showed them the door and opened to reveal a big flying machine.
"Dude! You've got a whirly, dude?" Gorzan exclaimed.
"Sick!" Y/N grinned.
"Holy Razoli!" Razar exclaimed just as surprised as everyone else. "Had I known about that, I would've stolen it ages ago."
"Yeah, well, the power of Golden Chi can help you build a lot of things. I call this the Wind Shadow."
"You mean, like ShadoWind, but reversed?" Eris asked, not surprised with the name.
"Hmm. Never thought of that. Or did I?"
This made Cragger annoyed with a growl as Y/N groaned out, forgetting he still does that. They're now ready as the Wind Shadow took off where Lavertus is piloting along with Laval and Bladvic with Eagle and Raven Beasts following. Not only that, but Y/N is also flying with them on her elemental dragon she summoned with Saskia, who decided to come. Razar who's flying on Raven Beast signaled to Laval, who nodded.
"We don't have much time to save the Beasts. Meet us up at the Seesaw Trap."
The ones on the ground are the Crocodile, Gorilla, and Rhino Beasts as they followed after them except for Worriz and Rinona as they stayed put in the lair. The flight took a minute before they made it to their destination to the Seesaw Trap. Suddenly, the Eagle Beast shrieked in worry and sadness. Y/N immediately glided over to the Eagle Beast and patted her neck.
"Don't worry, Legend Beast. We'll save your eggs. And the Bear too." Eris assured, flying alongside.
"We promise you." Y/N added.
"Yes, my friend." Razar flew down beside them. "We shall try a little trick we thieves call the snatch-and-switch, yes?"
They then saw the two giant eggs and the Bear on top of the Seesaw Trap.
"Uh... Shouldn't there be guards over here?" Y/N asked.
"Yeah. Something's not right..." Eris said. "We'll just quickly grab the eggs while Laval and Bladvic go save the Bear."
Y/N nodded as Eris and Razar dived down and each snatched the one of the two eggs before taking off, except for her as she watched Laval and Bladvic landed on the slab and it suddenly began to tilt. Y/N looked on nervously as Laval and Bladvic attempt to go light as a feather until they finally got it to stop tilting.
"You guys okay?" Y/N asked.
"Yeah, we'll be fine. Just take those eggs back to the lair where they'll be safe." Laval said.
She nodded to Eris and Razar to go as they did and Y/N stayed there for some backup. Saskia slithered above her head to look for some incoming enemies. Laval brought out the rope.
"Okay, Bladvic, we're gonna move slowly towards the Beast, so we can strap him up and have Lavertus lift us all out of here."
"If that doesn't work, me and my dragon will catch you all." Y/N added.
Laval nodded and looked up at flying Wind Shadow.
"But first we need to add a little more weight to our side to keep the slab balanced as we move."
"How much you need? I've got rocks, tools, even your Speedor." Lavertus said.
"Let's start with the light stuff and then work our way up. WHOA!!"
Laval accidentally dropped the rope when the slab began to rumble and the Bear Beast move to the side while sleeping, bringing more weight. Y/N gulped nervously as Laval and Bladvic attempt to keep it balanced.
"The Beast! Moving too much! Can't keep this up!"
"There's only one thing to do."
Bladvic suddenly collapsed on the slab, snoring loudly.
"You're sleeping?! Now?! No!"
"Laval!!" Y/N exclaimed.
The slab began to tilt to the side. Y/N urged her dragon to move.
"Whoa! Whoa, steady."
Y/N's dragon flew to where it's tilting and placed its head and pushed it back up. What she realized she accidentally brought more weight as it tilt to the other side when it suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" Y/N questioned, looking over.
"What happened? Did you do this?" Laval asked.
"No. I'm on the other side."
Gorzan's face shot up from the other side of the slab.
"Dude!"
They looked down to see Gorilla Beast holding the slab from underneath. Y/N sighed in relief as she made sure her dragon keep its head on the slab as it grunted to keep the slab from moving while flapping its wings.
"When did you guys get here?"
"Just now. Rogon's Rhino Beast makes him a super-duper smarty-horn, so he scored us this totally groovy shortcut." Gorzan explained.
Y/N and Saskia looked down to see Cragger and Rogon on the bottom as Rogon was looking at the paper.
"But I don't think we can mellow this mondo-slab forever, dude."
"He's right, Laval. I don't know how long my dragon can hold before my power wears off."
"Any chance you can put some boogie in that Bear Beast?"
"You mean, like get him to move? I think Bladvic is working on that. Sort of." Laval said, unsurely looking at sleeping Bladvic.
"Let's just hope whatever Bladvic mentioned about dream know what he's doing." Y/N said.
A few minutes later, Y/N noticed on her side the Bear Beast began to sleep walk towards Laval and the sleeping Bladvic.
"Whoa! Did you see that?!"
"I don't believe it. Bladvic's getting the Beast to move somehow. Gotta keep them balanced. Lavertus, once we're all in the center, lift us off this rock."
"Looks like sleeping does solve everything. For a Bear." Y/N mumbled, making Saskia snicker.
She and Gorzan noticed the rock beneath the slab began to break. They don't have much time.
"Got my Wind Shadow on auto-pilot. Just make sure you tie this rope tightly around the Bear Beast." Lavertus whispered.
"Okay, but stop whispering! You'll wake the Bears!" Laval yelled.
"What?"
Bladvic suddenly woke up.
"Huh? Who's making all that noise? I can't guide the Beast unless you stop waking me... up!"
Y/N gasped as the Bear Beast came to her side, bringing down more weight and the rock beneath the slab is breaking at any second. Gorilla Beast struggled to hold it and Y/N's dragon began to get tired from holding.
"Guys! Hurry!"
"Dudes, can't hold on!"
Gorilla Beast's hold went lose as well as Y/N's dragon as it disappeared, causing Y/N and Saskia to fall along with Laval, Bladvic, and Bear Beast with a yell. They're about to fall to their doom as Y/N tried to keep herself calm to do the move she was about to do. Cragger gasped to see her falling and Rogon and Rhino Beast ran towards the giant rocks and the Rhino Beast banged its horn against it, causing the yellow water to burst out flooding the whole area. Y/N immediately noticed it and transformed herself into full serpent, taking a deep breath before diving down along with Saskia as a big splash was heard. Bear Beast, Bladvic, and Laval went in afterwards. Still below the water, Y/N swam her way towards Bear Beast and Bladvic and pushed them up the surface as they began to float and swam towards the surface. Saskia tapped her shoulder with her tail, gaining her attention. She pointed to Laval who struggled to swim up the surface and realized he couldn't swim. Y/N quickly swam over to Laval and wrapped her tail around his waist and went up the surface with Saskia as Cragger and Crocodile Beast came in not too long as he helped her bring Laval to lie on the Crocodile Beast.
"You always were a lousy swimmer." Cragger said before laughing, making Y/N and Saskia snicker as they head towards land.
They then made and laid Laval on the ground as he took a deep breath before looking up at them gratefully.
"Thanks for pulling me out, Y/N, Saskia, Cragger."
"You're welcome." Y/N smiled.
"There was a time not too long ago I was in the creek and--"
"I know, I left you. I'm sorry about that, Laval. I really am." Cragger said, frowning at the memory.
Laval sit up and still smile at his best friend.
"Don't worry. Even after all that, you're still my best friend."
"Same here, pal. I just wish I could teach you how to swim."
"Impossible. I always sink."
"No, water is like friendship. It only pulls you down when you fight it. Embrace it, celebrate it, let it flow, and it will lift you up and carry you along to all the places you ever wanted to go."
Cragger jumped into the water floating on his back while kicking his feet as Crocodile Beast swam along.
"One thing's for sure: We can't live without water or friendship."
Laval nodded in understanding as Cragger and Crocodile Beast help Gorzan and Gorilla Beast get across the water towards where Rogon and Rhino Beast are on the other side of the land.
"Wise words, Cragger."
Y/N in her serpent form patted his shoulder.
"He's right, you know. You gotta endure your fear of water. Find your inner peace."
She then dive into the water with Saskia as they swam to the other side of the land. Just as Wind Shadow came down with the rope for Laval to climb, lasers were being shot. They looked up to see flying jet where Bats are piloting. Luckily, Lavertus brought down Laval's Speedor as he hopped on before he pilot away from the bat pilots. Bladvic and Bear Beast ran off as Laval turned to them.
"Cragger, see you back at the lair!"
Cragger nodded before he and the others riding Legend Beast ran off to safety with Y/N slithering alongside as Saskia held onto her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before they knew it, it was now night time back at the lair where six Legend Beasts stood before them as they let out their own animal calling. Y/N noticed Worriz is looking at the Mother Tooth as he called it with a sad expression.
"Aagh! Still no sign of the Wolf Beast. I spent all day looking, hoping the Mother Tooth would show me the way, perhaps pick up the Wolf scent, but nothing."
Laval approached Worriz, who placed the Mother Tooth on the rock.
"Don't worry, Worriz. We haven't found my Lion Beast yet either. But they're the only two still missing."
"And my father." Cragger looked down sadly. "I know he's out there somewhere. I just wish I had a way to find him."
Y/N placed a hand on his shoulder as she's back to her normal human form.
"I promise you, Cragger. We will find him. Don't lose hope."
"Yeah, you're right."
What they didn't notice is that the Mother Tooth began to glow.
