All Chima slept peacefully that night. Chima's heroes also slept peacefully, except for Laval. He tossed and turned in his bed, waving his arms from the terrible dream that he had:

Prince Lions was in some kind of jungle and looked ahead. His blue coat glowed with the same color. The mane floated in the air and glowed with a bright scarlet color. He turned back and saw the island of Chima hovering above the ground and looked ahead. In front of him stood his mother, also blue, and she was glowing.

- Where I am? Why am I here and glowing? - Laval asked his mother.

- We're in Under Realm, son. Very soon a large-scale war will begin in Chima, on which our Realm depends. Ancient gods and monsters are waiting in the wings to strike. - answered Leona. - You have a great power that will play a role in the future.

- Ancient gods and monsters? Who are they? - Asked Prince Lions.

- They are eager to destroy the balance in Chima and destroy it. You saw that Chima is a large island hovering above the ground. If there is no balance, then the island will begin to collapse. It is a very long and ancient history, but it is very interesting. - answered his mother. - Sleep on, son. You need strength for the journey.

The world began to disappear, as did Leona. Laval stayed in the dark for a while and disappeared too.

Laval opened his eyes. It was early morning in Chima. All its inhabitants were still asleep. Prince Lions got out of bed, dressed and washed, then went to the mirror and looked into it. He looked at himself and for a moment saw how he lit up and was scared.

- What is happening to me? What is this power within me? - Laval began to ask questions.

He left the room and went to the temple. There were no guards in the corridor, which surprised the Prince of Lions. In the Temple were his father, who was sitting on the throne, and his uncle, along with the Lion Elders.

- Dad, why are you awake so early? Laval asked his father.

- Today is an exciting day for me as a father. You are sending on a long journey to other lands in quest of your mother, and I do not know when you will return. I need to hold you in the long road, and look into your eyes, that remind me of Leona. - answered Lagravis and got down from the throne. - Lavertus will take the WindShadow on his journey.

- That's good news. - Laval happy.

- Of course, nephew. - answered Lavertus.

Lagravis went to his son and took something out of his pocket. It was a gold locket. Laval opened it and saw the portrait of his father, the mother and the baby itself.

- We made this portrait when you were a year old. I wanted to give it to you when you grow up and take the first Chi, but because of the wars, I forgot about it. Now, when you go in quest of your mother, I can hand it over to you so that during the journey you will remember me and Leona. Come back home safe and sound and find her. - said the King of Lions and hugged his son.

- I won't let you down. I promise. - Laval replied, hugging back.

Lions guards at this time stood at their posts and guarded the city. Tormak and Li'ella joined the king's lions. They, too, were ready for the journey. In the bag of the Tunnel Cat, Laval noticed the Book of Phoenixes.

- We are ready for the journey, Laval. - smiled Li'ella. - We studied the book at night to find a column to activate the Bridge. Phoenixes rather called it a lever and you can distinguish it with the help of a stone phoenix head.

- It's a good news. It will be easier to find it. - Laval smiled.

- We need to prepare transport for the journey. - said Tormak and went to the garage. - I appointed Tazar as interim leader of the Tigers while I'm gone.

The Tunnel Cat handed the Book to his daughter and headed for the garage. Laval with LiElla, father and uncle walked across the bridge to the stairs to wait for the others.

***

All of Laval's friends were ready to travel. Eris took with her an ax, blaster, armor and flew to the Lion City on eagle fighters. Worriz took four swords, two axes, a pair of knives, armor, a pair of blasters and rode the speedorz towards Laval. Bladvic slept along the way, but took his sword and blaster with him. Rogon rode in an armored car, bringing with him a powerful blaster and hammer. Razar, taking with him a blaster, an ax, a sword, flew on a raven fighter. Gorzan, taking a club-fist and a blaster, rode his speedorz towards the city. Sir Fangar, along with Mottrot, Icebite and two vultures, also gathered and drove to theLion City.

At this time, Cragger collected his things in a bag, put on light armor with pants and headed to his sister's room. He knocked on the door and began to call her.

- Crooler, come on! It's time to go. - said Cragger and knocked on the door.

There was no answer. Cragger knocked again. Quiet again. He opened the door and quietly walked inside. Crooler slept in her bed and heard nothing. The Crocodile Prince approached her and pulled the blanket off her, causing her to fall to the floor. She opened and glared at her brother.

- What are you doing, Cragger? - She asked angrily. - I had such a dream.

- It's time to go, and you are still asleep. I suppose you thought about the boys? - Cragger joked.

His sister responded by taking a pillow and throwing it at him, but he dodged. She was about to pounce on him, but King Crominus entered her room.

- I see that my daughter is already up and going on a journey. Almost everyone gathered at the Lion Temple. - smiled Crominus.

- Of course, Dad. - answered Cragger.

- I prepared speedorz for you and your sister. - said the King of Crocodiles and looked at his daughter. - You've got three minutes to get ready for the road.

- But Dad... - Crooler began to object.

- Don't argue with your father, young lady. Do you remember our conversation yesterday? It's time for you to unwind and see new lands. Stop sitting in the swamp. - interrupted her Crominus and left the room.

- I'm waiting for you in the garage. - said Cragger and left the sister's room.

He walked down the corridor and took out of the pocket of his pants a bracelet made of gems and leaves that his mother gave him, and put it back so as not to lose. The Crocodile Prince ran to the garage, where the speedorz were ready. His father was on his way there.

- Are you sure Crooler can get ready in five minutes? - Cragger asked.

- She must. If this does not happen, I will ask Crug and Crawley to bring her by the hands to the garage. - answered his father. - Enough for her to sit in the swamp.

Both crocodiles agreed and waited for Crooler in the garage. Crug and Crawley were in the garage. They looked at the king and stood still, awaiting orders.

- Crug, Crawley - go to Crooler's room. If she doesn't come out of there in five minutes, go into her room and carry her by the arms. - ordered Crominus.

The two soldier crocodiles nodded and ran out of the garage. Queen Crunket came to the garage.

- Where's Crooler? - The Queen of Crocodiles asked.

- She's going. - answered Cragger. - She was sleeping at this time, and I woke her up.

Five minutes later, Crug and Crawley entered the garage, holding Crooler's hands. The brown crocodile held the Princess's bag in his other hand. Kruler managed to put on light armor, the same as Cragger's, and packed a bag, putting a blaster, knife and some food there. A sword hung at his belt, and a spear at the back. The crocodiles let her go, and she looked angrily at them, and then at her brother.

- Are you ready, Crooler? - Her father asked.

- Yes. I'm ready to go on a little journey. - answered Crooler.

Cragger and Crooler started their speedorz and set off for the Lion City. The Crocodile Princess glared at her brother and contemplated revenge.

***

All the Heroes of Chima, except for Cragger, were already in the Lion City. Laval, Li'ella, and Tormak started their speedorz and waited for the others. Lavertus lifted the WindShadow into the air. Laval donned light armor, as did Li'ella with Tormak and Lavertus. Chima's heroes did the same when they got together.

- Where is Cragger? - Laval asked his friends. - He should have been the very first to come here.

- I heard that King Crominus has decided to send Crooler with us. - shared Razar. - She objected, because all the time she looked at the boys, but her father still insisted on his own.

- Did Crooler start staring at the boys? - Worriz laughed. Everyone supported and also laughed. - That's a good joke, Razar.

- Perhaps a joke, since Ripnik told me about it. He saw Crooler spy on a young Crocodile. - Razar said.

Their laughter was interrupted by Longtooth, who reported to Laval of the arrival of Cragger and his sister. Laval thanked for the information and waited for his best friend. Cragger and Crooler rode the speedorz to them, and the Crocodile Prince hugged his friends. Everyone looked at Crooler and chuckled softly.

- What's so funny? - Crooler asked.

- Nothing. - answered Worriz.

- If to be honest, why are you giggling? - Cragger asked.

- Razar said that Crooler is looking at the boys. - Laval replied in a whisper.

- Ripnik told me about it. - Razar added.

Everyone laughed at this. Crooler wondered why they were laughing, but suggests that it has something to do with her hobbies. The friends' laughter was interrupted by Tormak.

- It's time. - said the Tunnel Cat.

The heroes agreed and got into their cars. Eris and Razar turned on their Interceptor and took off, while the rest turned on the speedorz and drove out of the city. Tormak rode his Blazer. Outside, all the Lions gathered with Lagravis. Lavertus in the WindShadow was in the air. Fangar stood nearby with his detachment and waited for the heroes.

- You will need it. - said Lagravis and handed him a bag with four orbs Chi. - I hope you find Leona and bring her home and come back safely.

- We will. - answered Prince Lions and hugged his father.

- Good luck to you. - Lagravis wished and looked at Lavertus. - Keep him safe.

- Don't worry. - answered Lavertus.

- Let's go. We still have to get to the outskirts. Tormak said.

All agreed and went to the West of Chima. The Lions, along with the Tigers and Eagles, waved them in the back, wishing them good luck. The party drove through Rhino Quarry, driving parallel to the Gorge of Eternal Death. They rode deep into the west of Chima and were already outside of all tribe. They drove into a forest.

- Tell us more about the canyons and jungle through which we need to drive. Laval turned to Fangar.

- There are impenetrable jungles and canyons. - answered Fangar. - Now we are driving through the Hemo Forest. Next will be Jungle Fall and Outskirts Canyons. - answered Fangar.

The heroes drove through the forest and drove through the clearing, striking everyone with their beauty. Clean grass, flowers and bushes grew all around. On the bushes grew some berries incomprehensible to the heroes.

- Wait, Dudes. - Gorzan said to everyone and jumped off speedorz, heading towards the bushes.

- Gorzan, we have to go. - Laval turned to the Gorilla.

In two minutes Gorzan gathered a bag of berries from different bushes and started his speedorz again. The heroes drove through hills, meadows, forests, and a couple of mountain tunnels, until they stopped in front of a dense jungle. Lavertus with the birds in their flying machines also stopped.

- How dense is this jungle? - Laval asked Fangar.

- They said that the jungle has its own mind. They can grab those who are lost and carry them directly into the ground. Nobody got out of there. - answered Fangar.

- Eris, can you, Lavertus and Razar, lift us up and lead us over them? - asked Prince Lions to Eagle.

- Our Interceptor won't bear this weight, Laval. We will cover you from the air. - answered the Eagle.

Everyone felt fear in their throats, except for Tormak, and drove into the jungle. Eris with Razar and Lavertus flew over the jungle and watched over the heroes below. So far, there have been no incidents. The heroes rode calmly through the jungle until they were all stopped by Rogon and Gorzan.

- Dudes, I need to go to the bushes. - said Gorzan, holding on to the right place.

- I need it too. - added Rogon.

- Okay, just not for long and I hope you pee. - said Laval and stopped in a clearing.

The others did the same and decided to have a snack after a long journey. Gorzan and Rogon ran into the bushes and began to relieve themselves on one of the trees. They did not notice that the vines of the trees were slowly creeping towards them, and when the two finished "watering" the tree, they grabbed their legs and arms and dragged them up.

- Dudes. Bummer. - said Gorzan.

- What are you taking so long? - Worriz was nervous and saw his friends hanging above the ground. - What are you doing there?

Immediately, the lianas of the trees sharply headed in his direction, trying to grab him. Worriz dodged the attack and drew his sword.

- We have big problems. Help. - shouted Worriz, chopping off the vines.

Heroes of Chima ran to the wolf who was fighting the vines and took out their weapons. Lianas began to appear more and more and surround the heroes. Cragger noticed that these vines have mouths with teeth. Eris, Razar, and Lavertus shot at the vines, scaring the vines away from the heroes. Cragger freed Rogon and Gorzan from the jungle.

- We need to get out of here as quickly as possible. - said Fangar and ran to speedorz.

Everyone ran to the speedorz, fighting off the vines, and set off on them further. The jungle continued to attack the heroes with vines. They were joined by huge flycatchers. The heroes rode along the path and continued to fight back. After a couple of minutes, everyone saw the exit from the jungle and accelerated. Birds and the ShadoWind covered the heroes from the air, shooting through the jungle. The heroes left the jungle with relief and found themselves at the canyons where the geysers are located.

- What it is? - Worriz asked.

- In ancient times they were called geysers. The water emitted from them is very hot. - answered Tormak. - We're going carefully.

The heroes of Chima drove carefully across the bridge to the other side. The geysers still threw out water, frightening the heroes, but the Chima Warriors passed the bridge without incident and drove on. They drove through mountains, canyons and geysers until they reached the outskirts of Chima. Laval nearly fell as he missed the cliff. Below, Prince Lions saw a canyon and mountains in the distance.

- Are you okay, nephew? - Lavertus asked.

- Yeah. - Prince Lions answered nervously and laughed.

- This is the Western Outskirts of Chima. Now we need to find the lever with the Phoenix head. - Tormak said.

https://youtu.be/rVC_CTwLiAk

The heroes began to examine the area in search of him. The Birds and ShadoWind scanned the area from the air, and the rest surveyed the ground. After ten minutes of searching, they found nothing here. Eris was examining a couple of rocks and noticed a pillar of some kind at the edge. She landed and climbed out of the Interceptor, approaching him. Inside, she felt the power of the Phoenix, indicating to her the location of the lever. The eagle went to the post and saw the head of the Phoenix on it.

- All come here. I found him. - shouted Eris, calling the others.

She began to examine him and pushed him first to the left, then to the right. Then she tried back and forth. Nothing happened. Then Eris decided to try her Phoenix power and used it on the lever. The entire detachment had already arrived at her and looked at her.

- What are you doing, Eris? - Laval asked.

- Trying to activate the lever. - The eagle answered and pushed them to the right.

Suddenly something earned. A large ball shaped like Chi appeared in the middle of the phoenix's head.

- It looks like the Golden Chi. - suggested Eris.

Lavertus dismounted from his aircraft and walked towards the heroes, carrying his bag.

- Do you have the Golden Chi, uncle? - Laval asked.

- I picked up a little bit. - answered Lavertus, took out one of them and gave it to Eris.

Eris inserted it into the mold, and the mechanism continued to work. Downward streams of gold began to appear around. Stones began to appear from the ground, forming a bridge. He took the form of a slide and contacted the second part. All the heroes boarded their speedorz, and the birds and ShadowWind started their flying machines. The Golden Chi was dry and the bridge was completely assembled.

- That's all. It's time for us to open the Under Realm. - Laval said, and went first.

The Interceptor and the helicopter flew down, and the speedorz went abruptly down the bridge. The heroes were scared to ride on it because of the large and the force of gravity, but they passed it and drove into the forest located in front.

The Bridge began to gradually fall apart and return to the ground. The heroes of Chima drove into the forest and saw various miracles: fruits, vegetables that they had not seen before, birds flying across the sky, mountains, stones and trees. After five minutes of driving and flying around the Under Realm, the heroes found a large clearing, where they decided to set up camp. The fighters landed nearby and everyone dismounted. It was already evening.

- I propose to set up a camp here, and in the morning go in search of local residents. Maybe they will help us. - Laval said.

Everyone agreed and began to set up camp: set up tents, collect firewood and get food. The heroes were busy with business that they did not notice two strange creatures with long beaks looking at them from the trees. A third joined them.

- Inform the King that there are guests in our lands. - said one of them to the third.

He nodded and flew east to announce the arrival of the inhabitants of Chima in the Under Realm. The two continued to observe the detachment and waited for the right moment.
