Everyone is on the top deck. Yin walks towards Ms. Diane. She is at the bottom deck.
DIANE
What seems to be the problem?
YIN
I sense something hovering over the ocean.
DIANE
What do you sense?
YIN
A very dark figure. I can't tell if it's a monster or another beast.
DIANE
Tell everyone to go to the bottom deck.
Yin nods. Yin walks up the stairs.
Ext. SHIP - TOP DECK - CONTINUOUS
YIN
Everyone goes to the bottom deck!
ASAHI
Why? I don't have to listen to you.

Just listen plus you're not even supposed to be here.

EXT. SHIP - top deck - MOMENTS LATER
A figure emerges out of the water.
YIN
Hello!
REN
There is no reason for you to yell. I can hear you perfectly fine.
YIN
Is there something you need, Sir?
REN
Please don't call me that. I would like you to call me Prince Rend I wanted to ask if I could join you on your quest to defeat my father.
Yin (V.O.)
That doesn't make any sense.
YIN
Why would you want to defeat your father?
REN
(puts two of his fingers on Yin's temple)
He has become purely evil. He has also threatened to kill me and his citizens.
YIN
(groans)
Ah.
Yin eye colors change.
ReN
Can I join you, Mr. Yin?
YIN
(mechanically)
Yes, we need all the help we can get.
REN
Splendid.
Yin's eye color returns. He walks to the bottom deck.
YIN
It's safe to come out.
They all walk up the stairs.
REN
Hello, my name is Ren.
YIN
Prince, Ren.
FLAPACKO
(whispers)
Hibuaca's son?
Flapacko pulls Yin away from everyone.
FLAPACKO
(looks at Ren)
Are you sure we can trust him? He could be just as evil as his father or worse.
YIN
Yes! Of course, we can. Since I've trusted you and since you trust in me. Can't you just make a little exception for Ren?
FLAPACKO
I guess.
Masuke walks over to them.
MASUKE
Guys, we're approaching the Dark Harbor! Follow me.
Yin follows Masuke. Flapacko stays behind. He stares at Ren.
YIN
Are you coming?
FLAPACKO
Yeah.
They see a couple of ships in the distance.
FLAPACKO
This is very shady.
Flapacko looks at Ren.
REN
What do you want sir?
FLAPACKO
Nothing.
EXT. DARK HARBOR - DOCK - MOMENTS LATER
They dock the ship at the dock. They walk out on a plank. They head away from the city. They see a huge crowd form around the entrance of the city. They look for Victor in the crowd. Ren slips away from them.
SIKISS
Do you see Victor or the Sleeping Tigers anywhere?
Yin points to Victor off in the distance.
YIN
(points at victor)
Over there.
Everyone walks over to Victor.
VICTOR
Why did it take you all this long?
MASUKE
We can explain.
Victor sees men walking towards them.
MASUKE
Well, see us first...
VICTOR
You can tell me later.
Victor walks into a room the class follows him. They stop in front of a sewer top.

Follow Shimaru down into the sewers. Except for Ms. Diane.
INT. SEWERS - MOMENTS LATER
Shimaru walks into the sewer with the class following her.
MASUKE
What do you think they're talking about?
YIN
It's probably nothing.
Flapacko walks up to Masuke.
FLAPACKO
Where's Ren?
MASUKE
I don't know. But it is extremely dark in here.
FLAPACKO
(whisper)
It's just that he seems a little bit off.
MASUKE
What do you mean?
FLAPACKO
Haven't you noticed how Yin has been acting very defensive about not questioning Ren?
MASUKE
Well, kind of.
Ren walks out of another sewer passageway.
FLAPACKO
We should tell Yi—
Ren bumps into from behind Flapacko.
REN
(sarcastically)
Oops, my bad...
Flapacko throws a punch towards Ren. Ren ducks swiftly. Flapacko hits a support beam. The beam cracks. A few leaks spew out of the wall.
FLAPACKO
Ow...
ShIMARU
Are you ok?
FLAPACKO
(holding his fist)
It's nothing.
SHIMARU
What's that stench?
REN
Well, somebody punched the support beam. Now there's a leak.
SHIMARU
Keep walking straight. There's a ladder on your left half a mile from here.
Shimaru walks to Masuke.
SHIMARU
Make sure you don't miss it.
Shimaru walks to the back where Flapacko is. Shimaru puts her hand on Flapacko's shoulder.
SHIMARU
Why did you punch the wall?
FLAPACKO
Ren made me do it.
SHIMARU
How?
FLAPACKO
It's hard to explain.
SHIMARU
Well, try. You might have compromised the mission.
FLAPACKO
Don't you see how Yin has changed?
SHIMARU
Yes, I think he has matured. Is this jealousy?
Ext. AnKOKU - outskirts - MOMENTS LATER
Masuke stands near the sewers. Kami appears out of the thick fog.

Wow, that's one heck of a punch. For a girl...
KAMI
What did you say?
Masuke gets on one knee.
MASUKE
I was hoping we didn't have to fight but… here we are.
KAMI
Shut up and fight me. You coward.
MASUKE
Wow, it's like that.
KAMI
You must fight if you want to keep your life.
MASUKE
(stands up and wipes the blood off his face)
This shall be quite easy.
KAMI
You're so going to regret saying that!
Kami charges at Masuke.
MASUKE

SHIMARU
Run!
Flapacko and Shimaru start running. Flapacko sees the ladder. Shimaru is following Flapacko but she trips over a rock.
SHIMARU
(groans)
Flapacko! I sprained my ankle.
Flapacko hears Shimaru and runs back to assist her. He picks her up over his shoulders and he runs. They see the ladder. The water rises over their kneecap.
FLAPACKO
Are you ready to go up?
Flapacko guides Shimaru up the ladder.

That's for me to know. And for you to never find out.

FLAPACKO
There was a leakage. And some strange woman… that's all I remember.
SIKISS
What happened?
SHIMARU
Don't worry about it. But um… where is everyone?
SIKISS
Come out guys there finally here!
Shimaru rolls her eyes. Then everyone walks out of the cave. Yin walks towards Shimaru.
YIN (V.O.)
Where are Victor and Ms. Diane?

HIBUACA
Checkmate. But before I end your pathetic life. I want to tell you a little story.
YIN
Shut up, demon!

That's rude. I thought Victor would teach his self-made orphan manners.
YIN
(coughs up blood)
What are you… Talking about?
HIBUACA
(laughs)
What happens to your parents?
EXT. SHADOWS CLIFF - battlefield - FLASHBACK

HIBUACA
No, but I do have a proposition.
VICTOR
What is it, brother?
HIBUACA
Let me keep all of my war prisoners.
VICTOR
Why would I do that to my people?
HIBUACA
Because my army is already on its way.
VICTOR
What if I were to drop you right where you stand?
HIBUACA
It wouldn't matter.
VICTOR (V.O.)
What does he mean?
HIBUACA
My army has already arrived around your beloved cities.
They hear chants in the distance.
VICTOR
Ok, you may take this land. But not any of my people.
HIBUACA
I want my prisoners of this war.
Archers with flaming bows point their bows at the forest.
VICTOR
I agree.
HIBUACA (V.O.)
Coward.
They shake hands. Hibuaca drags Huro and Haru away into the forest.

YIN
(shivering)
Stop lying.

(tries to stand up but falls)
Are you only here to lie to me?
Hibuaca stands up and grips his fist. And throws a punch at Yin. Victor runs in between them.
HIBUACA
Move brother… Let me kill him.
VICTOR
Stop it. You know this is between you and me.
HIBUACA
Yes, perhaps you're right brother...
A tear rolled down Victor's face.
VICTOR
See what you've done. You have ruined our family. Even worse, you've tainted everything you came into contact with.
HIBUACA
You, have no say after you left me!
Hibuaca clenches his fist in frustration.
HIBUACA
I was like a bird locked in a cage awaiting death. But fate had another plan. I was eventually rescued by the four of the mist.
Victor chuckles. Hibuaca lowers his fist.
VICTOR
Do you think you were innocent? You poisoned our father, gladly.
HIBUACA
Nothing matters to me.
VICTOR
He gave everything! But I swear that you will not leave here.
HIBUACA
Such a caring brother? You were the favorite out of the eight of us. And I was the runt of the litter.
VICTOR
You know what I must do.
Hibuaca kicks Victor in the stomach. Victor spits.
HIBUACA
Just like when we were kids.
