Kirk is standing between the two remaining teams and in front of the Great Chasm. ?Welcome back to Legends,? he says. ?Now of course the glory goes to the fastest and the strongest, so let?s get to know our team players.? He turns stage-left to interview the tall boy with short platinum blond hair, hazel eyes and freckles. ?On the Silver Snakes, we have Lance. How old are you??
?Fourteen,? he answers.
?And I understand you play basketball and you wanna travel the world,? says Kirk, reading the player profiles off an index card. ?Any places you wanna go??
?Um,? Lance thinks for a second, ?definitely Japan, England, Spain, Brazil, China?? He stops supplying countries and just gives a cool nod and smile.
?Ah, cool,? Kirk says, going to interview the girl to Lance?s left, who has curly, dark hair and is only a couple inches shorter than her partner. ?And also on the Silver Snakes, we have Theresa. How old are you??
?Fourteen,? she answers.
?And I understand you practice a bit of kung fu, but you?re really into music,? Kirk says. ?Tell me about that.?
?Um? I wanna learn a lot of instruments and? um? make my own music some day,? Theresa answers. ?I know some guitar, some piano? maybe violin some time.?
?Nice, maybe you can be in a band someday,? says Kirk. ?Let?s hear it for the Silver Snakes!? Lance and Theresa wave and applaud with the audience as Kirk turns to interview the Red Jaguar boy on the right, who?s slightly overweight and has short hair, reddish cheeks and brown eyes. ?On the Red Jaguars, we have David. How old are you, David??
?Thirteen,? he replies, his braces visible as he speaks.
?And it says here you play football in the fall and hockey in the winter,? Kirk reads from the index card. ?Tell me about that.?
?Well,? David explains, ?I?m pretty competitive? I, um, I?ve been playing for my school for a couple years.?
?So tell me,? Kirk asks, ?which is? are you better at??
?Um? Not sure,? he answers with a laugh.
?All right,? Kirk comments. ?Wonder if we might have a little one-on-one here.? He then goes to talk to the brown-haired girl on the far right of the screen. ?And also on the Red Jaguars, we have Kristen. How old are you??
?Thirteen,? she answers with a smile.
?And I understand you like to hang out at the mall with your friends, you play soccer and you have a lot of pets. How many??
?Um? twenty-one,? answers Kristen. ?Six cats, fifteen fish.?
?That?s a lot of pets,? Kirk comments. ?And this sounds like a strong Red Jaguars team. Let?s hear it for ?em!? David and Kristen applaud with the audience.
?All right! Now, why don?t you guys go get ready for the Temple Games,? Kirk says, and the players walk offscreen in different directions. ?In the Temple Games, each team will be competing for?" he opens a pouch and pulls out a small gold medallion to show to the camera? "these Pendants of Life. The winning team will need those Pendants to protect them from the DREADED Temple Guards as they make their way through the Temple. There are three Temple Games. Olmec, tell us about Temple Game #1.?
Olmec begins:
?As a pirate, Captain Kidd spent a lot of his time at sea, traveling from place to place in the Adventure Galley. In this game, you only need to make one journey. When Kirk gives the signal, sail to the island, then turn around, grab the floating ring and pull yourself back to the dock.
?The first player to sail to the island and return with both feet on the dock? or the player that?s further along after 30 seconds? wins.?
?Both players ready? All right, time to set sail,? Kirk says, standing in the middle of the dock. ?Let?s put 30 seconds on the clock.? A countdown clock appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. ?On your mark, get set, GO!?
Both David and Lance make great time getting to the islands, though David gets there about a second sooner and has his boat turned all the way around first as a result (:17). He also pulls himself back to the dock at a fast clip, returning with eight seconds left and meeting Kirk a lot sooner than Lance does.
?All right, that?s it!? Kirk announces. ?Red Jaguars made it back before time ended. They get a half Pendant of Life!? The audience applauds briefly. ?Silver Snakes can catch up in the next game, it?s worth a half Pendant too. Olmec, tell us about Temple Game #2.?
Olmec continues:
?According to legend, Captain Kidd hid most of his treasure in a chest on Treasure Island, and the key was his silver earring. In this game, however, you need a nine-digit combination to open a different treasure chest. In a moment, you?ll be shown the sequence to open the treasure chest. When Kirk gives the signal, you?ll place your stopper into what you think is the first hole in the sequence. If you?re right, nothing will happen, and you?ll leave your stopper where it is. But, if you?re wrong, you?ll be squirted with Caribbean seawater, then you?ll remove your stopper and try to guess the next number in the sequence.
?The player that gets the most numbers in the sequence correct wins.?
?We?re not gonna set the clock for this one,? Kirk explains. ?Olmec, show us the sequence.?
The Steps of Knowledge music starts to play, and water squirts from the numbered holes in the order 8-5-4-2-9-7-3-6-1.
?All right, now we?ve seen the sequence,? Kirk says. ?Players, grab the first stoppers and make your first choice.? Kristen and Theresa grab their first stoppers and both place them on the 8 hole on their respective boards. ?And? squirt!? No water appears, and the audience applauds.
?Okay, one point both teams. Just leave your stoppers there. Make your next choice!? Both girls cover the 5 hole with a stopper. ?And? squirt!? No water appears again, and the audience applauds one more time.
?Two points each, nice job so far! All right, make your next choice.? Kristen covers the 4 hole, while Theresa covers the 9 hole. ?Squirt!? Kristen remains dry, but Theresa is squirted.
?All right, Red Jaguars scored, Silver Snakes didn?t score. Make your next choice.? Both girls choose the 9 hole. ?Squirt!? Both girls are squirted this time.
?All right, nobody scored, it?s still 3-2,? Kirk comments. ?Make your next choice.? Kristen keeps her stopper on 9, while Theresa moves to 7. ?And? squirt!? Only Theresa is squirted.
?All right, 4-2 Red Jaguars. Make your next choice!? Kristen chooses the 3 hole, but Theresa keeps her stopper on 7. ?Squirt!? Theresa isn?t squirted, but Kristen is.
?Silver Snakes scored that time!? Kirk remarks. ?Next choice.? Kristen moves the stopper to 2, while Theresa puts a stopper on 3. ?Choice? er, squirt!? Once again, only Kristen is squirted.
?It?s all tied up!? Kirk explains as the audience cheers. ?Make your next choice!? Kristen moves to the 7 hole, while Theresa chooses the 6 hole. ?Squirt!? Kristen is the only one squirted again.
?All right, this is the last one. Make one more choice!? Kristen puts her stopper on the 2 hole again, but Theresa covers the 1 hole. ?Squirt!? Kristen is squirted again, but Theresa isn?t.
?That?s it!? Kirk announces. ?Let?s see?? He counts up the stoppers in place. ?Red Jaguars got four correct guesses, but Silver Snakes got six! Really came back in the end, and they get the half Pendant of Life!? Kirk and Theresa high-five as the audience applauds. ?So it?s all tied up, a half Pendant apiece. The next game is worth a full Pendant. It?s the third and final game. Olmec, tell us.?
Olmec narrates:
?According to legend, a lot of different pirates wanted Captain Kidd?s treasure. On the wall above you are the names of four pirates: ?Calico Jack,? ?Jean Lafitte,? ?Henry Morgan? and ?Blackbeard.? When Kirk gives the signal, load the slingshot and fire a ball. Your partner will then catch the ball and stick it onto the first target. Once you?ve covered a target, that pirate captain?s ship has been sunk, and you can climb up and try to complete the next stage.
?The first team to sink all the ships after Captain Kidd? or the team that?s further along in 60 seconds? wins!?
?It?s all tied up, half Pendant apiece. Whoever wins this goes on the Temple Run,? Kirk reminds the audience. ?Let?s put 60 seconds on the clock.? The countdown clock appears onscreen. ?On your mark, get set, GO!?
The Red Jaguars start off with better aim than the Silver Snakes; Kristen manages to shoot a ball that David can catch pretty early, and he sticks it on ?Calico Jack? with a total 52 seconds left. Lance finally sticks a ball on ?Calico Jack? with forty seconds to go, and starts to follow David up to ?Jean Lafitte.? However, the Jaguars cover ?Jean Lafitte? a moment later and maintain their lead. They even cover ?Henry Morgan? with 26 seconds remaining, while the Snakes are stuck at ?Jean Lafitte.?
?Silver Snakes gotta scramble!? Kirk remarks as the Snakes finally cover ?Jean Lafitte? with nineteen seconds to go. They try to catch up, but the game ends with fourteen seconds on the clock as David covers ?Blackbeard.?
?And that?s it! C?mon down guys! C?mon over girls!? Kirk announces, reappearing onscreen. ?Red Jaguars sank all the ships with fifteen seconds left, so they get the full Pendant, giving them a Pendant and a half? they?re goin? to the Temple!? Kristen squeals in excitement and high-fives David, while Kirk goes to talk with the Silver Snakes. ?Silver Snakes gave it a great effort too, it was a tough match. We got a great gift for them just for playing and here?s what it is.? Lance and Theresa will each be receiving Transformers: Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron action figures.
The camera cuts back to David and Kristen with Kirk in front of the equipment for the third Temple Game. ?Now we?ll see if the Red Jaguars can make it through Olmec?s Temple and retrieve the Silver Earring of Captain Kidd,? he says, ?right after this!? The camera weaves around the equipment in the Temple Games arena and zooms in on the peephole in the Temple Guard door in the Dungeon before fading to commercial.
