Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Second Season

Ah. I love a good junkyard.

We'll definitely find a spare compressor here.

Among other things.

You got that right.

Yes!

Well, got the compressor. You find anything good?

Check it out.

Ooh. Yeah.

Suddenly, I felt its tentacles wrap around my legs,

pulling me down into the depths.

I had no choice but to fend off the Octomorph.

Bare-handed.

This story changes every time she tells it.

Vanquishing the creature, I swam to the coral cave.

And do you know what I found?

What'd you find?

What? What was there? Spit it out!

Only the Grand Pearl of Novak.

Whoa!

Those two will believe anything.

Mission accomplished! One compressor, as requested.

Ah. Nicely done, Wrecker.

That's not all we got.

This assortment, however, could have been left at the junkyard.

Easy, quick draw. Let the expert take a look.

It is a manifold regulator. And a broken one at that.

Thanks, Clone Obvious.

Hang on.

These look like coordinate markings.

Coordinate markings?

Mel, take a look at this.

I was right. This is a compass.

One from long before our time.

These coordinates are in the Kaldar Trinary system.

I have no record of that system.

Because the best treasures usually aren't found on maps.

There's treasure there?

Without a doubt.

This compass is a rare find. You've got a good eye.

Let's go check it out. You heard Phee.

She says a lot of things.

I can go alone and take the spoils for myself.

Or we go together and split it 50-50.

Please, Hunter. What if there really is treasure there?

Yeah. We're not on a mission.

It could be fun.

The last time we went after treasure, it didn't go as planned.

You weren't working with a professional then.

What do you say?

How many uncharted planets have you been to?

Too many to count.

That's why I need Mel to keep track of all the legends

I've chased down over the years.

That's the life of a treasure hunter.

Don't you mean "pirate"?

I prefer "Liberator of Ancient Wonders."

Wanna hear about the time I found the Blade of Zakata Par?

Yes, I do!

It's an exciting story...

...so strap in.

I'm not picking up any signs of civilization whatsoever.

Which makes sense,

considering this land appears to have been razed and left uninhabitable.

Who'd wanna hide treasure here?

What was that?

The compass just activated.

It's telling us to go south.

Let's go!

Now she's got the right attitude.

Wait up, kid!

It's a dead end.

Maybe we go around the mountain?

Or it's telling us to go inside it.

Big guy, help me move this.

Look! It's a secret entrance.

Oh! It is a secret entrance.

Whoa!

Hunter, these etchings are easily a thousand years old.

Older. Much older.

If I'm right, which is always,

we are standing in the entranceway to Skara Nal.

To what?

Every pirate out there's heard the legend of Skara Nal.

It traces back to the ancients.

You mean the Jedi?

No. Older.

So, what kinda treasure's in there?

The Heart of the Mountain.

And we're going to liberate it.

How do we get in?

It's a pattern.

We need to align the symbols in the right order.

Some help would be nice.

That doesn't sound good.

Booby traps. Now it's getting interesting.

You've just trapped us in here.

Relax. There's always a way out.

We just have to find it. It's part of the puzzle.

Wait! We're aligning the wrong symbols!

What do you see?

Some of the symbols are glowing.

Here. Lay the compass on my lantern.

Whoa!

[Mel, note the coordinates and wait here.

Come on, kid. Time to go exploring.

Looks like we're doing this.

My interest is certainly piqued.

So, what exactly is the Heart of the Mountain?

A rare crystalline stone.

Some say it's the key to an ancient power,

which makes it worth more than you could possibly fathom.

I have run a preliminary analysis of the minerals in those stone slabs.

They predate the Republic.

Phee may be onto something.

Hey, tough guys. Want to pick up the pace?

Hunter?

It's drooling on me!
