In the dungeons, the Geckles and the Munce mine under the supervision of Re-Awakened. The ninja watch from inside their cage.
Nya: Ugh!
She tries and fails to open the cage.
Kai: Save your strength, Sis. It's Vengestone.
Nya: Ugh. The Munce had faith in me, and now look at them. Right back where they were. In chains. I can't believe we were gullible enough to trust the Skull Sorcerer.
Kai: Yep. I'm probably going down as the worst Chancellor in Geckle history.
Zane: I do not see that we had any choice.
Toge: Zane's right. If we hadn't surrendered, he would have destroyed all of them.
Lloyd: At least they're still alive. There's still hope.
Skull Sorcerer: Hahaha. That's the spirit, but unfortunately, there is no hope. I have decided a demonstration is needed to show my true power over this mountain.
Kai: What kind of demonstration?
Skull Sorcerer: For too long, the Geckles and Munce have resisted my rule. But when they witness your destruction...
Hazza D'ur: Destruction!
Skull Sorcerer: When all hope is lost...
Hazza D'ur: Lost.
Skull Sorcerer: They will submit.
Jay: What are you gonna do to us?
Skull Sorcerer: You'll perish at the talons of Grief-Bringer.
Hazza D'ur: Grief-Bringer!
Nya: Okay, that's getting annoying.
Kai: Yeah, I don't know who to look at, you or the skull.
Jay: I'm looking at the skull, it's not as ugly. Hahaha!
Skull Sorcerer: Silence! Enjoy your final moments of levity.
Hazza D'ur: They will be your last.
Lloyd: Aren't you forgetting one thing? Cole. He's still out there, and if I know Cole, by now, he's found King Vangelis and told him everything. They're probably on their way to stop you right now.
Skull Sorcerer: Oh, that's right. You don't know.
He transforms back into Vangelis and laughs.
Lloyd: You?
Nya: Vangelis?
Toge: For one season I would like to not have fought one royal figure. Please for ONE SEASON!
Vangelis: Your friend did come to me. And I cast him into the bowels of the mountain. He and that old fool, Wu.
He turns back into the Skull Sorcerer.
Lloyd: You're not the first to think so. But he has a way of popping up when you least expect it.
Plundar and the Upply spy on them from behind some rocks.
Plundar: Look, the Skull Sorcerer.
Fungus: Tis' unfortunate we cannot hear what he says.
Cole: You're not missing much. Once you've heard one of those villain-speeches, you've heard them all. He's just saying "Blah blah, my evil plan, blah blah, no one's gonna save you."
Skull Sorcerer: No one is coming to save you. Have the courage to accept your fate.
Lloyd: Just tell me one thing. The Blades of Deliverance. It was you who stole them, wasn't it?
