Original subtitles

I'm Ky Stax, a Kairu Champion.

I race around the world seeking out Kairu.

Lokar has unleashed a dangerous Kairu: Shadow Kairu.

Shadow Kairu X-Drives contain powerful new attacks.

and monstrous warriors.

We must master both types of Kairu

to save the Earth from Lokar's Shadow.

My quest is to conquer the Kairu...

To one day become...

A Redakai!

This is the thanks I get!

Left to freeze in the middle of nowhere

like some kind of pathetic loser.

[grunts]

[groans]

You guys? You came to save me!

Yeah. Against our better judgement.

And it's only on one condition: no more bossing us around, Zane.

From now on, we're all equal teammates.

Of course! Anything you want.

Just get me outta here.

Techris: Fine. Let's get going.

Take this.

You're going to need it.

Baoddai: I am extremely proud of you, warriors...

... for I am certain escaping Lokar's lair

must not have been an easy feat.

Yeah. Especially considering how mad he was.

At least now we know for sure that he's alive

and we can focus on defeating him and the Shadow Kairu.

Yeah. Emphasis on the defeating him part.

Agh!

Ky: Master Baoddai!

What is it, Master Baoddai?

I'm sensing Kairu. Pure and ancient.

Pure and ancient?

That can only mean one thing...

... the second part of the Kairu Cube.

If you're right, then it's more important than ever

that we find it before any of Lokar's E-Teens do.

Indeed. And if you are fortunate enough to uncover it,

do not hesitate.

You are to put the two halves together immediately.

So what exactly will happen when the Cube is reassembled?

That is for you to discover.

Fly like you mean it, Boom.

We've got to get to the other half of this Cube, ASAP.

And remember what Master B told us last time:

the Kairu Cube is supposed to be useful in our next tournament.

Trust me, guys. I've got the pedal to the floor.

Hyper-drive's got nothing on Boomer-drive.

[beeps]

Looks like we've just reached our target.

Then get ready for a serious landing.

[whistling wind]

Ky: Looks like we're the first ones here, guys.

I'll have to take your word for it, Ky.

Yeah. With all the wind in this place,

I'm having a hard time seeing much of anything.

Just like I said, no E-Teens in sight.

Then what're we waiting for?

Let's hurry up and find that Cube piece.

Whoa!

Dizzy alert.

Is it Kairu?

[crash]

Big-time.

Then let's spread out and find it... fast!

[buzz]

There!

Boomer: And high up.

Let me give you a boost, bro.

[grunt]

[grunts]

It's beautiful!

Awesome!

Now let's figure out how to combine them.

Infernal Strike!

Aaaaaaahhh!

[grunts]

Oh, man. We were so close.

[chuckle]

Poor disillusioned Team Stax.

Do you not know that...

... in the game of the Kairu Cube...

... close does not count?

[crash]

First of all, that Kairu belongs to us.

Second of all, who are you freaks

rocking that unfortunate look?

We, Team Imperiaz, are the Hiverax.

Allow us...

... to properly introduce ourselves.

Shadow Fire!

[screams]

And you are wrong.

The Kairu, and the Cube piece it lies within, are ours.

Ky: Oh, yeah?

We'll just see about that.

Kairu Challenge!

Challenge accepted.

♪ [battle theme]

[thunderclap]

Harrier!

[roar]

Froztok!

[roar]

Lightning Storm!

Ice Whip!

[explosion]

[chuckle]

Whoa! Did you see that?

Yeah. Those Hiverax guys didn't even flinch.

It is time to...

... face the inevitable, Team Stax.

You must accept your inferiority...

... and concede defeat.

Sorry, but I'm just not feeling defeat-y today.

Especially not with that Cube piece still in play.

Agh!

[scream] My hair!

You sure you want to keep this up, Ky?

Yeah. Seems like whatever we throw at these guys

doesn't make a dent.

Maybe it's not the attacks.

Maybe it's who we're throwing them at.

Come again?

OK. What if from now on we don't hit Vexus with green attacks,

Hexus with red attacks, or Nexus with blue attacks?

Dude, I think you're right.

I can't believe we didn't see it sooner.

Well, we see it now.

Wind Blast Attack!

[grunt]

That's the ticket.

Plasma Tornado!

[shouts]

Yes! It worked!

And now the moment we've all been waiting for...

Uh oh!

♪

[slamming metal]

♪

No way!

Most intriguing.

Awesome.

If I was a betting man, I'd say it's tournament time.

[whoosh]

[crash]

It is, indeed.

Welcome one and all to the Tournament Of The Kairu Cube.

[chuckle]

Hi, Dad!

Is Ekayon going to be joining us too, Master Atoch?

Ekayon is off on a very important quest

at the moment, Maya.

He will not be partaking.

That stinks, but it's not going to squash my excitement.

I'mso ready to compete.

Then let us begin at once.

Zane: Not without us, you don't.

And to anyone who's ever crossed Team Radikor:

get ready for some serious payback.

And now for the format of today's competition:

one player from each team will be chosen

to participate at random.

And since the Cube itself will do the choosing,

all players must move to the center of the arena at once.

You are merely here to observe, my young warriors.

Master Atoch: Are you ready, warriors?

Let the choosing commence.

Whoa! This is one seriously funky tournament.

You can say that again.

I don't know whether to battle or dance.

The players have been chosen.

Whoever wins the tournament

shall not only win the Kairu Cube,

but also any X-Drive from any opponent that they desire.

You hear that, Teeny?

You can win me any X-Drive I want.

I'm not going to lie; I'm happy I got picked.

But I'm bummed that you guys won't get to fight alongside me.

No worries, bro.

I'm cool with the Cube's choice.

Besides, you're the best one to represent our team.

Yeah, so make us proud.

Atoch: Now, Ky, because your team found both parts

of the Cube,

you will have an advantage in the tournament.

You may use any X-Drives

from your teammates' X-Readers to compete.

Awesome!

Guess I'll have a part of you in the game with me after all.

Zane: [sarcastic] Glad you're happy, dude

cause you're going to need all the help you can get.

Enough, Zane.

And now the Cube shall select the first two players.

Atoch: Zane and Vexus!

Let the battle begin.

[telephatic communication]

Are you certain that's the best approach, brother?

Oh, yes, brother...

... we're positive that color attack

will be the most effective.

Very well, then.

Shadow Plague!

[screeching]

Forget it, freak.

Even your fastest green moves aren't going to stop me today.

Terror Eyes!

[explosion]

No. Without my brothers, he'll see

I'm a much less formidable opponent.

By the look on your face,

I'd say that attack worked pretty well.

And now for another move.

Lokar's Void!

Aaaaah!

[grunt]

[impressed] Oh!

The battle is complete.

Zane is the winner.

Nice!

Way to go, Zane!

That'll teach you to mess with a Radikor.

Boo-ya.

Atoch: And now for our next battle: Ky versus Teeny.

Begin.

Good luck, Teeny.

I know this whole working-for-Lokar thing

isn't exactly your fault.

Less talking, more fighting.

Spindrel!

[roar]

Accelerator Kick!

Whoa! Aaaah!

[gasp]

Kairu Drain!

[gasp]

Wow! What's gotten into her?

Beats me. But the Princess definitely likes.

Teeny: There's more where that came from, Ky.

Just say the word.

Oh, I've got a word for you: Metanoid!

That's it, Ky.

Now finish her off.

Gladly. I think one of Boomer's X-Drives oughta fill the bill.

Righteous Light!

[explosions]

The fight is over! Ky wins!

♪

Great. Are we ever going to win one of these dumb tournaments?

Way to go, Ky.

Yeah. Keep playing like that

and you're going to win this whole thing.

I can feel it.

That makes one of us.

I almost didn't even make it out of the first round.

Deep voice: A lowly warrior like you

is lucky to even be here in the first place.

[gasp]

[crash]

Of course, now that a true master has arrived,

you don't stand a chance.

We've got to stop him.

Oh, but you won't stop me, young Stax.

Not this time.

Wait a sec. Lokar's still around?

Why are we the last ones to know everything?

Lokar: Well, well, well, look who we have here.

What are you doing here, Lokar? And what do you want?

Why, I'm here to participate in the tournament, of course.

[gasp]

But I'm guessing because of our innate connection,

you already knew that, granddaughter.

Boomer: Participate in the tournament?

Can he even do that?

[indiscernible discussion]

We cannot deny him.

Masters, even evil ones, can compete in a Cube tournament.

Then you cannot deny me, either.

[gasp] But what if something happens to him?

It's too dangerous.

It's not up to us, Maya.

This is Master Baoddai's decision to make.

Let us get on with it, then.

To the battlefield, my old rival.

It's been a long time.

The next contestants are Ky and Lokar.

Followed by Zane versus Baoddai.

Look over here, young warrior.

Your friends won't be able to save you like last time.

You can do this, Ky.

Just remember everything you've learned.

It's going to be pretty sweet taking you down, Lokar.

Direwulf!

[deep roar]

Not if my Shadow Warriors have anything to say about it.

[crash]

[explosion]

[gasps]

I'll fight shadow with shadow.

Mystifier!

[roar]

Agh! This shadow monster is really draining my power.

Enough of this foolishness!

This ends now.

You are simply not cut out to harness

the energy of Shadow Kairu, Ky.

You are too weak.

Fire Sword!

[crashing]

Aaagh!

[explosion]

What?

Ky! Are you OK?

Except for having been obliterated by Lokar,

yeah, I guess I'm OK.

Lokar is the winner.

Looks like your star pupil doesn't have

what it takes to win.

But I do.

C'mon, Master B.

Zane is all talk.

This is an easy win.

OK, old man, time to meet my friend,

Bruteron!

Terror Eyes!

[crash]

Lokar taught you strength, but you know nothing

of mercy and honour, Zane.

Cyclone Snare!

No one gains victory through mercy and honour.

Lokar: It appears the years have slowed you down, Baoddai.

Perhaps I should take advantage of this moment to destroy you.

You would not dare break the rules of this tournament, Lokar.

Master Baoddai, look out!

Lokar's Void!

Radikor Rage!

Lokar's Rage!

[whoosh]

Agh! [grunt]

No, I would not.

For I clearly have other methods of defeating you.

[moan]

Yes! I did it!

I beat a Master!

Are you all right, Master?

I'm fine, Maya.

Even a Master is sometimes deceived by his enemy.

The winner is Zane.

The final round shall be Zane versus Master Lokar.

Now, no matter what happens,

the victory is going to the side of evil.

Yeah. And there's nothing we can do about it.

And now the moment you've clearly been waiting for, Zane.

A chance to vanquish me and take over.

No! I will not fight you, Master.

I am your loyal servant if you will have me.

Welcome back, warrior.

Boulder Crush!

[scream]

[groans]

I'm ashamed to say that Lokar is the winner

in a most undignified way.

As the winner, I demand the spoils of my victory.

Not only do I gain possession of the Kairu Cube,

but I also get an X-Drive of my choosing.

Those are the rules.

I choose...

Palladion.

What? No!

Pall-who-dion? What's that?

Master B, what is it?

Most Masters have a monster, a powerful one

which we use only in special circumstances.

Palladion is mine.

How come we've never seen any of these monsters before?

Because if you had, you wouldn't be around to talk about it.

Huh?

If these monsters are so rare and powerful,

then you can't give yours up to Lokar.

I'm sorry, warrior.

It is out of our hands.

Palladion!

♪

[huge roar]

Thank you all for a most rewarding tournament.

And make no mistake about it.

This is not over.

[birds chirping]

How do you feel, Master Baoddai?

Not as good as I did before the tournament.

Rest will do me well.

So what does all this mean for you, Master B?

The tournament, the Kairu Cube, your monster?

For one, it means I'm not the powerful Master I was before.

Palladion was a source of inner strength for me.

With his departure, it took much Kairu energy with it.

So, isn't there anything we can do about it?

Isn't there a way to get it back?

I'm afraid not until the next tournament.

But you mustn't concern yourselves with that, warriors.

Now more than ever, we must find a way to stop Lokar.

For clearly he'll stop at nothing to attain

his malevolent objectives.

Our fates and the fate of the world depends on it.

Believe me, Master Baoddai, we'll stop at nothing

to stop Lokar.

The Hiverax have always seemed invulnerable to our attacks.

Luckily, I was finally able to figure out their weaknesses.

No warrior is unstoppable,

it's just knowing how to hit them.
