Jay:
Hey. Sorry for the wait.
Lloyd:
What’s wrong? Is she okay?
Wouldn’t they let you see him?
Jay:
I guess she didn’t want visitors today or something.
And I came all this way.
Talk about rude!
Jay:
Hey, what you looking at?
Lloyd:
Over there. Can’t you see it?
Wubey:
It’s a Mass Boss!
It’s about to attack!
Jay:
Oh, no! Why is it here?
Wubey:
This is bad. We have to get out of here!
A labyrinth is about to open up!
Jay:
You mean one of those battlegrounds?
Lloyd, do you have Zane’s number on you?
Lloyd:
Mm-mm.
Jay:
What do we do?
I got it.
Go find Zane and bring him back here.
I’m gonna stay and keep an eye on it.
Lloyd:
You can’t!
Wubey:
It’s too dangerous!
Besides, we still have time before the boss attacks.
But once the labyrinth pulls you in, you won’t be able to get out again.
Zane might not get back in time to save you.
Jay:
But if the labyrinth opens up, how will we know where the Mass Boss is?
We’ll lose track of it.
I can’t let that happen.
Not here anyway.
Wubey:
Lloyd, you go on ahead.
I’ll stay here with Jay.
Lloyd:
Huh?
Wubey:
If we’re not here, Zane can use telepathy to track my position.
If the labyrinth opens, Jay and I can follow the Mass Boss inside.
When Zane gets here, I can guide him down the shortest route to it.
Jay:
Thanks a lot, Wubey.
Lloyd:
Okay, I’ll go get Zane here as fast as I can!
Wubey:
Are you scared, Jay?
Jay:
Huh? Yeah… of course…
Wubey:
All you have to do is make a wish.
If you do, I can turn you into a ninja right here and now.
Jay:
I know.
If things get bad, I just might.
I’m okay for now.
But that’s an important decision for me to make.
And if I can help it, I wanna make sure I’m doing the right thing.
Zane:
There it is.
What’s happening, Wubey?
Wubey:
We’re okay.
The Boss hasn’t hatched just yet.
Lloyd:
Are you okay, Jay?
Jay:
Heck yeah!
I’m so bored I’m about to fall asleep.
Wubey:
I wouldn’t advise using large amounts of magic.
You might disturb the egg.
You don’t have to hurry.
Just come as quietly as you can.
Zane:
Got it.
Lloyd:
Thank goodness we made it.
Zane:
I’m a little angry though.
Jay’s taking a huge risk.
But in this case, it was a good call on his part.
This way, we don’t have to worry about the boss getting…
Lloyd:
Huh? Ah!
Zane:
I thought I told you I didn’t wanna see you again.
Kai:
Like it or not, I’m hunting this prey.
You should leave immediately.
Zane:
Look, we’re not going anywhere.
Wubey and Jay are inside waiting for us.
Kai:
Then I’ll make sure they both get out safely.
Zane:
Do you honestly think I trust you?
Kai:
You… idiot!
We don’t have time for this!
Zane:
I don’t wanna hurt you, but you give me no choice.
Don’t struggle, they’ll only get tighter.
Kai:
Listen to me.
I swear this boss is not like the others.
Zane:
Be a good guy and I’ll release you… after I finish up here.
Okay then, shall we go?
Lloyd:
Yeah.
Kai:
No, don’t! Ugh…
Lloyd:
Zane… I, uh…
Zane:
Yes?
Lloyd:
I’ve been thinking really hard about all the different wishes I can make.
Zane:
Do you have a favorite?
Lloyd:
Yes. But… um…
You’re probably gonna think it’s naive and get upset with me.
Zane:
Let’s find out. What’s the wish?
Lloyd:
Well, there’s nothing special about me.
I’ve never been good at school, and I don’t have any talents.
I’m scared this is the way my life is gonna stay.
Always asking for help and not being able to help when people need it.
I can’t stand thinking about it.
Zane:
Uh…
Lloyd:
But then I met you, Zane.
And you showed me what it’s like to stand up for people and really help them.
And then… when I found out that I might be able to do the same thing, I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my life.
And that’s my wish ‘cause if I can become a ninja, that would be a dream-come-true for me.
I might not be good at anything, but if I can help people out like you then I can be proud of the way I live.
That’s the best thing I could wish for.
Zane:
It won’t be easy.
You will get hurt.
You won’t have time to go on dates or have fun with your friends.
Lloyd:
I know.
But after seeing how you keep doing your best, I really look up to you, Zane.
Zane:
I don’t deserve it.
You need a better role model.
Lloyd:
Uh…
Zane:
I just pretend to be cool.
When I’m scared or hurt, there’s no one I can talk to.
All I can do is cry on my own.
It’s not fun… being a ninja.
Lloyd:
I hear you, Zane.
But you’re not alone anymore!
Zane:
You’re right. I’m not alone.
I found someone who’s willing to stay and fight by my side from now on!
Will you really stay with me?
Lloyd:
Yes. If someone like me will do.
Zane:
Oh, look at this.
It isn’t the sort of behavior you’d expect from a role model, is it?
I’m not very good at this sort of thing, am I?
Lloyd:
Zane…
Zane:
Anyway, make sure you know what you want.
A chance like this doesn’t come around too often.
Lloyd:
Yeah, I know.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing!
Zane:
It is a contract after all, so you might as well try to get something out of the deal.
You could wish to be a billionaire, or you could wish for the perfect significant other.
Lloyd:
Yeah, I know but…
Zane:
Okay, how about this?
If you can’t decide on something to wish for by the time I finish off this witch, we’ll have a feast and you can ask Wubey for a fabulous cake!
Lloyd:
Huh? Seriously?!
Zane:
Yes. You could ask for the biggest and most extravagant cake ever.
Lloyd:
Ah…
Zane:
Then we can throw a party for everyone.
A celebration to announce the two of us becoming a ninja duo!
Lloyd:
But I… I can’t do something like that for a cake!
Zane:
Then decide on something you want.
Lloyd:
Or a cake?
Wubey:
Zane!
The Dark Matter started moving!
It’s about to explode! Hurry!
Zane:
Okay! I’m on it!
Today’s a special day, so I’ll make short work of it.
Lloyd:
Wah. But…
Zane:
I feel so light.
This is the first time I’ve felt this happy during battle!
I’m not afraid of anything anymore.
Because I’m not alone anymore.
Sorry I’m late!
Jay:
Phew, thank god you made it.
Wubey:
Be careful. It’s coming!
Zane:
Sorry for the interruption,
but this won’t take long!
Gotcha!
Jay:
Yeah!
Zane:
Tiro Finale!
Kai:
Oh, no…
Wubey:
Hurry! Make a contract with me before it’s too late!
Lloyd! Jay!
Wish for something! Anything! Hurry!
Kai:
That won’t be necessary.
This one’s mine. I’ll kill it.
Lloyd:
Ah!
Kai:
A second later and you most certainly would be dead.
Never forget what happened here.
This is what it means to be a ninja.
