Summary
The episode starts with Lagravis and Laval giving out CHI to the tribes. Gorzan, Grumlo, and G'Loona are the first to show up. After receiving their CHI, Lagravis hands some to Eris the eagle. However, Cragger and Crooler show up in Rhino costumes and demand for some CHI. Laval is shocked that they dare ask for some CHI after attacking 70010 The Lion CHI Temple in the previous episodes. Lagravis, however, agrees to give them some CHI, much to Laval's discontent. Laval soon drives out to chase Cragger in his Speedorz, finding Cragger and Crooler sailing away on 70006 Cragger's Command Ship. Laval jumps onto the ship and orders Cragger to never use the CHI against the lions. Cragger merely asks Crawley and Crug to "clean the bug off his windshield." After easily defeating Crawley, Laval is about to defeat Crug when the "mouth" of the Croc ship opens, sending both Laval and Crug flying to the ground. Then, Cragger hops out and offers Laval their CHI. Not realizing Crooler snickering, Laval takes the CHI, telling Cragger they don't deserve the CHI after the attack. Crug, Crawley, Crooler, and Cragger then return to 70014 The Croc Swamp Hideout where Crooler has Crug tell the entire tribe that Laval the lion has stolen their CHI, at which point the crocs fly into an outrage. However, just as Cragger was about to deliver "his big impressive speech," Crawley rushes in and notifies the crocs that Laval and Eris wish to give the CHI back. Cragger, panicking, asks Crooler what to do, with her simply replying, "We can turn this into our advantage!" After swimming over to Laval and Eris, Cragger remarks that he will use every bit of the CHI to crush the lions. Laval keeps his cool until Cragger says that he will completely crush Laval's dad with it. Flying into a rage, Laval yells at the top of his lungs that crocs shouldn't get any CHI, at which point the crocs in the Hideout start growling viciously. Eris and Laval flee to a river in search of the Lion Legend, heavily pursued by the crocs.
Meanwhile, two 70008 Gorzan's Gorilla Strikers are walking along the main road when Gorzan yells "STOP!" and halts abrubtly, causing Grumlo's Striker to careen into Gorzan's, sending little G'loona flying into the road. "Flower Crossing!" Gorzan remarks, but G'loona argues that it isn't crossing, but growing, at which point the gorillas become curious and jump down. G'loona asks if they can move it, as it is in the middle of the main road, but Gorzan interjects, stating that the road is its home and they have to respect that. After remarking "Flower Power forever, brother Gorzan!", Grumlo marches away in his Striker. Soon, Gorzan forces Bladvic the bear and Ewald and Eglor the eagles to take a detour. However, the Rhino Tribe soon appears, with Runk, Rukus, and Rogon complaining that they won't take a detour 'cause of some "stinky flower." Gorzan smiles, and tricks the not-so-intelligent Rhinos that the road is stinky, not the flower. After walking off onto the detour, a raven carriage approaches Gorzan. Razar refuses to take the detour unless Gorzan offers to pay their "additional travel expenses," having Razcal calculate the numbers on an abacus. Razar soon plucks the flower from the ground and attempts to sell it to a very angry Gorzan, who knows all too well that Razar was trying to sell him his own flower. After swiping back the flower and roaring angrily, Gorzan scares away the Ravens. Once the Ravens leave, three 70004 Wakz' Pack Trackers ,carrying Worriz, Wakz, and Wilhurt the wolves threaten to run over the "pretty little flower." Gorzan, panicking, powers up the Gorilla Striker and, through an awesome display of power, completely trashes the 3 Wolf vehicles. After a piece of a Pack Tracker lands on the flower's stem, flattening it, Gorzan and G'loona rush to flower to a sunny hilltop, with Worriz complaining: "NOW he realizes that the flower's not safe on a road?!?!"
Meanwhile, Laval is standing on the edge of the Bottomless Gorge. After laughing, "Oops!" he drops the Croc's CHI down the Gorge for all the crocs to see. Cragger thanks him, saying that "Laval just made it a lot easier for us." Confused, Laval watches as Cragger eggs on the other crocs to "throw him away" and is picked up and tossed down the pit. He probably would not have made it without a quick save from Eris in the 70003 Eris' Eagle Interceptor. After feeding CHI to the vehicle, the shoot out of the gorge, but a shot from Crawley hits their engines, causing them to be forced to deploy the escape pod, which brings Laval and Eris into the Mistlands. After calling for help from the Legend Beast (and receiving none), Laval is soon defeated by Cragger and his troops, but is saved by several Eagle Ultra Strikers and Lion Attack vehicles. Once the crocs are driven off, Laval glimpses the Legend Beast. As soon as he realizes he got no help because he threw away the crocodile's CHI, earthquakes shake Chima, leaving Laval and Eris on the ground. The scene then cuts to Gorzan's sunny mountaintop, where he is admiring his flower. Eris explains that they can't do anything now but let the flowers make them smile, and the episode ends with the Gorillas, Laval, and Eris rolling around happily in the flowers.
