The camera returns from break to zoom out to show the entire Temple with the games in front as the pendant splits. Kirk is now standing in front of the Temple's steps with the teams at his sides. ?Welcome back to Legends,? he says. ?Now, the glory goes to the fastest and the strongest, so let?s get to know our two tough teams."
"On the Green Monkeys, we have Chris: he plays second base in baseball and he wants to be an architect when he's older. And his partner here is Lauren; she loves to play ping-pong and she wants to be a pediatrician when she's older. Let's hear it for the Green Monkeys!" The brown-haired boy and the brunette girl with a braided ponytail tied by a crimson-red scrunchie applaud with the audience.
"And on the Purple Parrots, we have Robert: he plays track on his school team and his best event is the 70-yard dash. And his partner here is Samantha; she's a cheerleader at her school and her favorite subject is literature. Let's hear it for the Purple Parrots!" The blond boy and the freckled auburn girl with a braided ponytail tied by a blue scrunchie applaud with the audience.
?You guys ready to play?? asks Kirk.
?YEAH!? The players reply.
?Okay, so girls go get ready for the first Temple Game, guys go get ready for the second Temple Game,? Kirk says, pointing in different directions, and the players walk offscreen. "In the Temple Games, each team is competing to get?" he opens a pouch and pulls out a small gold medallion to show to the camera? "Pendants of Life. They're gonna need those Pendants to protect themselves from the dreaded Temple Guards as they make their way through the Temple. There are three Temple Games, and Olmec, tell us about Temple Game number 1."
Olmec begins:
"For pirates to get back and forth to the Caribbean, they had to take maps and an atlas to guide them while they were there. In this game, you will retrieve four portions of the New World atlas. When Kirk gives the signal, crawl to the first cube, grab the first part of the atlas, come back and put it in the proper place on the board. Then, go back to get the next piece of atlas. Along the way you must try to avoid the swinging obstacles. If you?re hit, you?ll have to go back and start again.?
?The first player to place all four parts on the board? or the player that?s correctly placed the most atlas parts in 60 seconds? wins.?
The camera fades to Kirk. ?Well this may be a quick collection of just one map," he says. ?Let?s get the sandbags back in position and start swinging them.? The spotters do just that. ?And now let?s put 60 seconds on the clock.? The clock appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. ?On your marks, get set, GO!?
Lauren and Samantha crawl out to the first cube immediately and neither girl gets hit. However, on the second attempt, Samantha is hit at the second cube, while Lauren successfully gets the second part with 42 seconds as Samantha restarts. On the fifth attempt for Samantha, she gets the second piece of map with 28 seconds left as Lauren goes back from being hit. On the sixth attempt for Lauren, she gets the third piece with 11 seconds left as Samantha has to return to the start. Ten seconds later, the clock explodes, indicating that time's up. "Okay," Kirk says. "Let's count 'em up. The Purple Parrots got one, two pieces of the atlas; and the Green Monkeys had one, two, three pieces of atlas! Green Monkeys win the half Pendant of Life!? The audience applauds briefly as Lauren high-fives Kirk. "The Purple Parrots can still catch up in the next game 'cause it's worth a half-pendant. Olmec, tell us about Temple Game number 2."
Olmec continues:
"Like any other pirate, Bluebeard would always keep all his gold and other valuable possessions in his castle. Here, you're going to store away some golden objects. You're now harnessed into a rotating lever and when Kirk gives the signal, run around to the pedestal, grab a gold artifact and come back around to place it in your bin."
"The first player with more gold artifacts at the end of 60 seconds wins."
"When I was a kid, I always used to keep my stuff stored away like this," Kirk says. ?And now let?s put 60 seconds on the clock.? The clock appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. ?On your marks, get set, GO!?
Chris and Robert run around and try to have enough momentum to get a gold piece, but only Robert does and drops it in his bin with 51 seconds. On the next two attempts for Chris, he's too low to get the gold until the 33 second mark where he grabs a piece and gets it in his bin. The boys each get some more gold artifacts at almost the same time until Chris fumbles to grab another piece and then the clock explodes to indicate time's up. "Okay, stop right there!" The spotters each stop the two players and bring over the baskets. "The Green Monkeys had-" he pulls out a necklace, small shield and what looks like an orb-"One, two, three golden artifacts; and the Purple Parrots have-" he pulls out a lighthouse, jeweled egg, tall calix and a scepter-"One, two, three, four gold artifacts! The Purple Parrots get the half pendant of life!" The audience applauds briefly. "It's tied up one half apiece. The third and final game's worth a full pendant and Olmec's gonna tell us about it."
Olmec narrates:
"While on his way through the Spanish Main, Bluebeard destroyed ships that were a part of the Spanish Caravels. In this game, you're going to sink three of the Caravel's galleons. One of you is suspended in a sack and when Kirk gives the signal, your partner will swing you towards one of the ships and sink it by knocking it down.
"The first team to knock down all 3 ships or whoever's further along at the end of 60 seconds wins!"
The camera transitions from Olmec to Kirk. "This is for the Temple," he comments. "Let's put 60 seconds on the clock," The clock appears onscreen at the bottom-right corner. "On your mark, get set, GO!"
Lauren and Samantha pull Chris and Robert back towards them and aim at the leftmost statues. On the first two swings, nobody knocks the ships down, but on the third attempt for the Purple Parrots, they get the middle one down with 46 seconds left and about 12 seconds later, the Green Monkeys knock down the rightmost one. On the next five swings, both teams miss, but with 9 seconds left, Green knocks down the leftmost one and 4 seconds later, Purple gets the rightmost one down and then time's up.
?That?s it! Time's up!" Kirk runs over as the spotters stop the sacks holding the boys and they stop swinging. "Both teams knocked down two ships, so it's a tie! They each get the full Pendant of Life!" The audience applauds for a moment. "It's now a Pendant and a half apiece, we go to the tiebreaker pedestal."
Two spotters roll in the tiebreaker pedestal, then walk off as the boys run over to it? joined by their female partners mere seconds later? and stand behind their respective gongs as directed by Kirk. "Okay, here's the tiebreaker rules. In a moment, Olmec will ask you a question. If you think you know the answer, hit the gong in front of you. You'll have three seconds to answer and I must accept your first response. If you're right, you and your partner will be going inside the Temple in search of The Map to Captain Bluebeard's Treasure. But if you're wrong or run out of time, I'll give the other team a chance. All clear?"
The players nod in response.
"Olmec!" Kirk shouts. "What's the final question?"
Olmec asks:
"Which of these lakes is a present-day source for oil in the Americas: Lake Tanganyika, Lake Huron or Lake Maracaibo?"
Chris hits the gong first: "Lake Maracaibo."
There is a brief pause.
?That? is? correct.?
"The Green Monkeys are goin' into the Temple!" Kirk declares as Chris and Lauren high-ten and hug several times. Then he walks over to talk to the Purple Parrots. "Purple Parrots were a superb team all day from the Moat to the Temple Games. They aren't going away empty-handed 'cause here's what we have for them." Robert and Samantha will each be receiving a copy of Ice Age: The Meltdown on DVD.
The prize goes offscreen, and Kirk is now standing with the Green Monkeys. "Now we're gonna see if the Green Monkeys can make it through Olmec's Temple and retrieve the Map to Captain Bluebeard's Treasure right after the break!" The camera zooms out to show the whole Temple and then stops on the Treasure Map in the Dark Forest and then fades for commercial.
"On the Green Monkeys, we have Chris: he plays second base in baseball and he wants to be an architect when he's older. And his partner here is Lauren; she loves to play ping-pong and she wants to be a pediatrician when she's older. Let's hear it for the Green Monkeys!"
