C-y-b-e-r-chase!
Welcome to the Grand Pyramid of Jimaya.
I'm Jules, your tour guide.
Or does it sound better if I say, 'your tour guide, Jules'?
Relax, Jules, we're your friends.
I know, I'm just practicing.
The pyramid doesn't officially open until tomorrow.
You sure it's okay we're here?
Oh, yeah.
They called me from Pyramid Central - told me to bring whoever I wanted.
...The phony phone call worked!
My plan is about to become a reality!
Are you talking about the plan for the ghosts who guard the Artifact Chamber to leave their posts and chase the kids so you can steal the Sym-Ball and make all the stone animals come alive?
Or the plan where those nosy kids set off the booby trap and alert the ghosts that you're afraid of?
It's the same plan, you duncebuckets!
When are we going to see some fauna?
Fauna?
What language is that?
She means animals, Didge.
What are you going to show us first?
Well, according to my Guide Book, the ancient mask of the Jimayan Jam Master is a "must-see."
Cool!
Let's check it out!
All right!
Come on guys!
I'm with ya!
This is amazing!
Cool!
Wow!
"These wall carvings represent the animals revered by the ancient Jimayans."
We didn't see these the last time we were here.
They almost look alive!
You're right, Jax!
Careful they might bite!
No way!
Did you buffoons put the fake page in the Guide Book?
Sure thing, boss.
Just like you said, huh, Deedee?
Yep.
The trap is set, boss.
Done.
Splendid!
Once these animals come to life...
I'll unleash them first on Slider and Radopolis!
Better yet...
I'll take care of Creech and Tikiville!
The choices are endless!
This is the mask of the Jimayan Jam Master, guardian of ancient Jimaya.
"Legend has it that if you press his nose, you'll have good luck!"
I'll press it!
I could use some good luck.
Wait!
It says in the book only the tour guide can press the nose.
Uh oh.
Guys?
What's going on?
AHHHH!
YEOW!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh... My skwak!
Forget about your skwak...grab on!
My plan is working to perfection!
I'm a genius!
Push!
Tell me those weren't ghosts that just went down here!
They weren't ghosts.
They looked like ghosts!
Okay...they were ghosts.
Man, what a ride!
Where's Inez and Digit?
I don't know, but here's her Skwak.
I guess that eliminates calling them for help.
The question is - who needs more help?
Them or us?
Oh, dear.
This is definitely my worst first day on the job ever, even though my first day isn't until tomorrow!
SILENCE!
Who are you?
!
Why are you here?
!
Excuse me.
But you're made of stone - how can you talk?
Hahahaha!
Because I'm the Jam Master!
You!
Tour guide!
M-m-me?
Aren't you the one who pushed my nose out there?
Shame on you!
But, my...my...my Guide Book said it was okay.
Well your Guide Book was wrong!
Sorry.
There was something funny about that page... Look, we're just visitors...okay?
We didn't mean any harm.
Hahahaha!
You are intruders!
GUARDS!
GHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTS...!!
!
PUUUUUUUUSH!
!
!
I hate to say it, Inez, but that trap door isn't gonna budge.
Didge!
Push that guy's nose again, maybe it'll open.
...Nuthin'!
Hmmm...Look!
The Guide Book!
Maybe there's a map to tell us where we are.
...Here's one!
Okay, we came in here.
Went this way and...hey!
Here's the Mask!
So we have to be right here!
The trap door opened ... everyone fell down the chute... ...and it looks like they ended up down in this place.
What is it?
It doesn't say, but it's next to something called the... Artifact Chamber.
Artifact Chamber?
According to this... "The Artifact Chamber contains the Sym-Ball..." The Sym-Ball...?
Yeah!
"A magical sphere that brings the stone animals of Jimaya to life."
Yoikes!
That's one powerful round thingy!
Come on, we've got friends to find!
Right!
Admit it, you're here to steal the Sym-Ball!
No way!
We've never even heard of it!
You're making a huge mistake, Mister Master.
We're not intruders ... we're innocent children taking a tour of your wonderful pyramid.
SILENCE!
Take five, ghostlies.
Fortunately for you, there is the Jimaya Jam option.
It's a game intruders who claim their innocence can play to prove their worth and gain their freedom.
Sound good?
Okay.
Rule number one!
To gain your freedom, your team of three players must throw one of these five balls... ...into this goal!
Huh?
Score once?
No problem!
Rule number two, kiddo.
Don't speak too soon!
Ghostlies...take your positions!
Show us what you've got, boys!
Did you say 'no problem', Matt?
Good luck trying to score!
Guys, this game is just like basketball.
I'll dribble around 'em and slam dunk it!
...Huh?
What happened?
I forgot.
Rule number three: no dribbling!
And rule four: Once you have the ball - no running, you can only pass it or shoot at the goal.
Who needs to dribble?
I can make it from here.
The goal's pretty far away, Matt.
Yeah.
Maybe we should consider passing it around to get closer.
Watch and learn, gang!
Okay.
Maybe this won't be so easy.
