The pendant splits and disappears, the camera zooms out from a sideways view of the Elephant?s Cave, looking towards the end of the Temple, and then we fade to Kirk and the two teams.
?Welcome back to Legends,? says Kirk, standing in front of The Vine Drop with the two remaining teams. ?Now the glory goes to the fastest and the strongest? so before we get started, let?s meet our teams. On the Red Jaguars, we have Brian. You play baseball and basketball, but it also says here that you like chemistry. Tell me about that.?
?Um, I like to do the experiments,? replies the brown-haired, brown-eyed boy, ?and I just? enjoy learning about it.?
?Okay, sounds good,? replies Kirk, turning to Brian?s shorter Hispanic partner with long, wavy brown hair. ?And also, we have Ana. She is from Mexico and was brought in here by Nickelodeon in Latin America. And uh, tell us about yourself.?
Ana says something in Spanish, but a girl?s voice overdubs what she says. ?I play soccer,? says the voiceover, ?and I like reading and painting.?
?Okay, buena suerte to this team!? shouts Kirk. ?Let?s hear it for the Red Jaguars!? The audience applauds for the team as Kirk turns to face the boy on the Silver Snakes, a short, black boy with dark frizzy hair.
?And over on the Silver Snakes,? Kirk continues, ?we?ve got Peyton. You write mysteries?tell me about that.?
?Well, I read a lot of mysteries when I was younger,? Peyton explains, ?and they kinda inspired me to start writin?.?
?So do you want to be an author?? asks Kirk. ?Yeah, probably,? replies Peyton.
?All right,? says Kirk in response, moving on to the last player, a girl with slightly tanned skin and blond hair reaching her shoulders. ?And your partner here, Megan, likes going to the beach?why??
?Well, I lived in California,? explains Megan, ?so my family took me to the beach often.?
?What do you like to do there?? Kirk then asks.
?Um? probably surfing,? she says.
?We?ve got some sporty players today!? comments Kirk. ?Let?s hear it for the Silver Snakes!? Once again, the audience applauds, this time for the Silver Snakes.
?You guys ready to play?? Kirk asks. The players cheer and yell in response. ?Okay, go get ready for your games, and I?ll explain what?s gonna happen?? The players all walk off-camera in different directions.
?In the temple games, teams are competing to win pendants of life?? Kirk grabs a pendant out of his pouch and holds it up to the camera. ?The winning team will need those pendants o protect themselves from the dreaded temple guards, as they make their way through the temple. There are three temple games?Olmec, can you please tell us about Temple Game #1??
Olmec explains:
?During World War II, the Germans had to cross large distances to attack countries. Fortunately for you, the distance you?ll have to travel isn?t as large. You have three flags of your team?s color, and a maze of three places: the Camp, the Jungle, and the Lake. When Kirk gives the signal, run through the maze and plant your flag at the end of each obstacle to conquer it. The first team to plant all their flags and cross the finish line? wins.?
?Three obstacles to go through, three countries to conquer,? comments Kirk. ?All right, teams! On your marks, get set? GO!? Ana and Megan begin, racing to the Camp first, ridden with twisted metal and scattered tarp. ?They?ve got to make it through that Camp,? explains Kirk, as the girls begin to scale the mess, which unstably shakes as the players climb it. Ana shows a lead, making it to the top of the pile first and makes her way down a wooden slide to the stone floor, where a holder awaits. ?The Red Jaguars are doing good,? commentates Kirk as Ana sticks the pole of her first flag into the holder and moves on, just as Megan gets off the slide. ?Now the teams have to head through the dreaded Jungle,? says Kirk, as the Red Jaguars maintain their lead heading into the Jungle, full of elastic cords criss-crossing. Megan follows suit soon after, entering the Jungle and crawling through as low as possible, while Ana simply tries to scramble through the elastics. This time, both players get out of the obstacle at around the same time, plant their flags, and continue on a footrace to the Lake. ?Now they have to cross the Lake whatever way they can!? announces Kirk. The girls race up the set of stairs to the deck around the Lake and jump into the pool, wading their way through the water. ?It?s gonna be a race to the finsh,? commentates Kirk, ?and it?s gonna be close!? However, Ana is first to plant her third flag?just barely ahead of the Silver Snakes?and darts across the finish line to win the game.
?Okay, stop right there!? shouts Kirk as he runs over to Ana and Megan, who has now crossed the finish line. ?All right, nice job, girls! It was a tough race and they?re both out of breath?but Ana, from Mexico, finished first to win the Red Jaguars a half-pendant!? The audience cheers as the spotters run over to hand the players towels.
?The next game is also worth a half-pendant,? reveals Kirk. ?Olmec, tell us about Temple Game #2.?
Olmec narrates:
?Haakon the Seventh, like any King, wore a crown on his head?but crowns don?t stay shiny forever. On the ceiling above you are some of Haakon?s crowns, and in this game, you?ll be taking them down for a cleaning. When Kirk gives the signal, jump up and grab one of Haakon?s crowns off the ceiling. Then come back down and put it in your bin. The first player to collect all the crowns, or the team that collects the most crowns at the end of 60 seconds? wins.?
?Let?s collect some crowns!? says Kirk. ?Let?s put 60 seconds on the clock!?
The clock slams into the corner of the screen. ?On your marks, get set? GO!? Immediately, the teams spring off the ground and try to grab a crown. The Red Jaguars don?t make it all the way up, however. ?Oh, the Red Jaguars couldn?t quite jump high enough?now the Silver Snakes are taking the lead,? commentates Kirk as Peyton snatches a crown from the ceiling and drops it in his bucket moments later. [0:45] This lead continues, with the Red Jaguars one crown behind the Silver Snakes. ?Red Jaguars are a little behind,? remarks Kirk with 24 seconds left on the clock. Brian drops down with his third crown, but Peyton is grabbing his fourth by then. The Red Jaguars try and jump back up, but Brian misses and he falls back down empty-handed. ?Oh, Red Jaguars didn?t get that crown!? shouts Kirk. ?That?s gonna cost them...? As the audience counts down the final seconds, Peyton grabs a fifth crown and sails down on his elastic cord and drops it in his bucket. [0:07] He jumps up again, hoping to bag another crown before time runs out, but he is unsuccessful?the clock explodes and the ceiling lights flash to indicate that TIME IS UP! ?Okay, stop right there!? shouts Kirk, running over to the baskets.
?Let?s count up the crowns,? says Kirk, kneeling down in front of the bucket marked with a red ribbon first. ?The Red Jaguars had one? two? three? four crowns?? He stands up and walks over to the silver bucket. ?? And the Silver Snakes got? one? two? three? four? FIVE crowns? The Silver Snakes get the half pendant of life!? Kirk gives Peyton a high-five as the crowd cheers.
?The Red Jaguars have a half-pendant,? recounts Kirk, ?and the Silver Snakes also have a half a pendant. It?s a half-pendant apiece. We?re going into our third and final game?it?s worth a full pendant. Olmec, tell us about it.?
Olmec continues:
?Norway consists of some low-lying areas, but also beautiful mountainous terrain. Before you stands a series of large cliffs on the mountain which you?ll need to climb. When Kirk gives the signal, help your partner up the first step, and then pull yourself up onto it. Then do it again and climb up to the next step. When you reach the top, hit the gong! The first team to hit their gong, or the team that?s further along at the end of 60 seconds? wins.?
?Well, at least it?s all uphill from here,? jokes Kirk. ?Let?s put 60 seconds on the clock!?
The clock drops into place in the corner of the screen. ?On your marks, get set? GO!? Ana and Megan are boosted up by their partners, and then the boys begin climbing up the first step, holding onto their partners? hands for extra support. ?It?s gonna be a close race to the top!? comments Kirk as the two teams still race neck-and-neck, trying to get up onto the second step. Megan sets foot on the second step first, but her standing position makes it hard to help Peyton up the step, making the Silver Snakes? lead virtually redundant. [0:47] The Red Jaguars catch up soon after, and ??it?s gonna be neck-and-neck up the final step to victory!? yells Kirk from the base of the steps. The girls once again get up onto the top step at the same time and begin to pull at their partner?s arms to desperately get them up. [0:35] ?Who?s it gonna be?? asks an excited Kirk. ?Red or Silver? Red or Silver? It?s?? The sound of a gong chimes in, and the camera zooms in on the top step?only the Silver Snakes? gong is lit! The team celebrates atop the third ledge and the clock, frozen at 27 seconds, disappears.
?That?s it!? yells Kirk. ?The Silver Snakes made it up there first, so they get the full pendant!? The audience cheers briefly before Kirk continues.
?That gives the Silver Snakes a pendant and a half,? calculates Kirk. ?The Red Jaguars had a half? The Silver Snakes are going to the Temple!? The camera quickly zooms in on Megan and Peyton, who hug and high-ten in excitement. ?The Red Jaguars gave it a great effort as well. Thanks for coming on the show, Ana? We?re gonna give them a great gift, and here?s what it is!?
Dee reads the prize:
?It?s a prize package from Hershey! Enjoy Hershey?s greatest creations, including Hershey?s Kisses, Milk Duds, and much, much, more. From the Hershey Company!?
We transition to a shot of Kirk with the Silver Snakes, now on the ground. ?This is a strong Silver Snakes team,? he says, ?and now we?ll see if they can make it through Olmec?s Temple, retrieve that Golden Amulet of Haakon, right after this!? The screen fades to a wide shot of the Temple, the camera flies past many of the rooms on the top floor, then focuses on the doorway between the Room of the Tropicana Birds and the Walk of Faith, filled with mist. The pendant crashes together to form the show?s logo, and then we fade to black.
