=====================================================================================================

Wu and P.I.X.A.L. are searching for the Never-Realm, but have opened a portal to the realm of Chima and are dealing with a hoard of beavers.

Beavers: (Chanting.) Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. Fix it.

P.I.X.A.L.: I do not believe this is the Never-Realm, Master Wu!

Wu: I've reached the same conclusion!

Beavers: (Continues chanting.) Fix it. Fix it. Fix it.

P.I.X.A.L. Grabs a broom, breaks it in half and tosses it back into the portal.

P.I.X.A.L.: Fix this!

Beavers: Fix it. Fix it. Fix it.

The Beavers run back through the portal and Wu closes it.

Wu: Mystake's Traveler's Tea recipe does not appear powerful enough to reach the Never-Realm.

P.I.X.A.L.: What else can we do?

Wu: Perhaps we should add more leaves. The stronger the tea, the more powerful the effect.

P.I.X.A.L.: We are running out of leaves.

Wu: Which is why it should've been me to go after Zane and not them.

P.I.X.A.L.: We have discussed this, Master Wu. It was my assessment that the ninja were more likely to succeed and find Zane.

Wu: And maybe they have, but the amount of tea they took with them will not be enough to return. We will have to open a gateway for them.

P.I.X.A.L. returns to the teapot and adds more leaves.

P.I.X.A.L.: I am tripling the amount of tea.

She pours the tea into Wu's cup. Wu opens the portal and they find Underworld. He closes the portal and P.I.X.A.L. adds more tea. Wu opens the portal to the Cloud Kingdom. They continue adding leaves and opening a portal to the Realm of Oni and Dragons.

Wu: It's the First Realm.

He sighs and closes the portal. They sit down, resting from their searches.

P.I.X.A.L.: I am beginning to wonder if there could be a reason for our failure.

Wu: Like what?

P.I.X.A.L.: Perhaps there is something about the nature of the Never-Realm itself that prevents the Traveler's Tea from working? Perhaps it is the only realm which cannot be reached by Traveler's Tea?

Wu: Let us hope it is not so. Otherwise the ninja are lost forever.

Wu pours more tea and opens a portal to the Departed Realm.

P.I.X.A.L.: Is it the Never-Realm?

Wu: I am not sure.

They hear a roar.

Wu: Did you hear that? It sounds like the Land Bounty!

P.I.X.A.L.: I do not believe that is a mechanical sound.

She starts to back away.

Wu: It has to be! Listen!

He looks into the portal and sees tentacles coming out.
