Tokyo, Japan
Aileen landed the plane in the airport, as McQueen stepped off of it. As he looked around the ancient Samurai-styled platform, he said "so, you finally wanna tell me why we're here?"
"Ask him." Aileen said, as a voice said "Lighting McQueen. I have waited long for your arrival."
"Who are you?" McQueen said to the aged Toyota car who drove out of the temple. His paint was deep blue with bright gold appendages attached. "My name is Yasue Terao. Welcome to Temple Shizukesa."
"So, Mr Tereao. Or right. Mr Yasue." McQueen said. "What did you want to talk to me for?"
"Follow me, McQueen." Yasue said as he drove into the temple. McQueen followed, as Yasue said "for a thousand generations, this temple has been a place of healing and wisdom."
"Right. You wouldn't happen to have any cures for brainwashing, would you?"
"Ha ha. Even in your desperate condition you still have time for jokes, eh?" Yasue said. "My visions have shown me your friends' predicament. For the past twelve months you've been wanted in every state on the planet."
"And you're gonna help us out why?"
"I cannot help your friends out."
"Oh great. I'm guessing then that you're stalling me while Lexus and his gang gets here, then."
"I cannot help your friends as it is not my destiny. It is yours." Yasue said as he pulled down a large curtain, revealing a large golden tapestry on the wall. McQueen stared in awe at the finely-stitched cloth picture, which showed a large army of cars surrounding a rock structure.
McQueen suddenly said "what the heck?!" as he saw the shining red car at the top of the structure. Yasue said "my master once foretold that a warrior of red and gold would harness the power of the Lightning Dragon to restore order to the world. That was why I summoned you here."
"Wait, you summoned me to teach me ninja powers?" McQueen said. Yasue said "yes. In a way. With my help, you will unlock a potential far greater than any you could ever know."
"Come on. This is nonsense. I need to go help my friends!" McQueen said as he turned and went to the exit. Suddenly, Yasue grabbed him from behind, before bringing his tyre down in a straight line. McQueen's eyes widened in shock as he saw the large orange portal that Yasue had opened.
Yasue threw Lightning through the portal, entering him into a strange astral plane. McQueen said "it's beautiful. Where are we?"
The empty green space was covered in floating remnants of an ancient stone temple, with glowing orbs flying in the space. Yasue said "this is the Realm Of Eternal Power. He who would harness the power contained here would be the most powerful warrior in eternity."
"Could I do this?" McQueen said. Yasue nodded, saying "if you can harness this power, you can save your friends. You can save everyone you care about."
McQueen bowed his head to the old master, running short of breath as he said "teach me, Master!"
Mexico, Alonzo Cruz's homestead
Alonzo emptied the files onto the table, saying "come on. Search through them."
Everyone piled through the files, looking at information. Dodge picked up one sheet with the ADEL logo, saying "wait a second."
As Dodge read the sheet, Francesco said "È qui! L'ho trovato!"
"What is it?" Holly said, as Finn said "you've found something?"
"Yes." Francesco said as he showed the sheet. Holly took the sheet, saying "does anyone here know German?"
"I do!" Mia said as she took the sheet. Mater looked at the pictures of himself in the cell.
Mia read out the sheet aloud in English.

"What? No." Mater said as she finished reading. Holly sighed, saying "Mater, darling, it's alright. She might have mistranslated. Right Mia?"
"No, Holly." Finn said as he finished analyzing the sheet. "I'm afraid it's accurate. Word for word."
Mater sighed as he drove to the door, sitting outside. Alonzo said to the others "I'm sorry for wasting your time. If I'd known, I wouldn't have. I wish I'd never called you here."
"I don't think it wasted that much time." Dodge said. Holly said "why?"
"Look at this sheet here. It's in English. An ADEL report."
Holly read the sheet aloud, saying to herself "why that speeding son of a beetle!"
To the director of The Wheel Wagon Penitentiary for the Criminally Insane,
I have written to you to request that Prisoner 1778 Emilia Elsa Zundapp be transferred from her solitary confinement cell 56 to the shared cell 32 with Prisoner 0882 Adolf Ludwig Zundapp.
This would save convenience for the capture of TM4TR due to his unsafe and unpredictable nature. Yours sincerely.
