will soon realize the deception...

...and return.

I will translate the inscription.

"The journey of a thousand miles

begins with a single step.

The paper dragon shows the way. "

The journey of a thousand miles...

Begins with a single step?

The paper dragon shows the way.

I've got it.

Like, check it out, Scoob.

An origami octopus. Beat that.

Ha-ha-ha.

Hmm...

Look. Snowflakes.

That's it. The paper dragon

must be a reference to origami...

...the Japanese art of folding paper.

Velma's right.

Okay, guys, give us an origami dragon

but this time use the scroll.

No.

Just a little tuck here, a fold there.

This goes under, that goes over.

Ta-da!

The words have been rearranged.

Yes. It now reads:

"The journey begins

with a thousand steps. "

The journey begins

with a thousand steps?

How is that any different?

Hang on, gang.

I think I've got something.

The Temple of a Thousand Steps.

Huh?

An ancient ruin located on a remote

jungle island in the South Pacific Ocean.

Yes. I've got it too.

The island temple is devoted to...

...the Green Dragon.

The Sword of Doom

must be hidden in the temple.

Then we've gotta find a way

to get to that island.

- Sojo, ready the hover jet.

- Hai.

Miyumi will accompany you

on your journey as my representative.

Huh! Thank you, sensei.

Mr. Takagawa, you will go along

as the team's translation expert.

I will serve with distinction.

A tropical-island vacation

in the sunny South Pacific?

Like, now you're speaking

our language.

Uh-huh.

We should be getting close.

I've uploaded the coordinates

into the navigation system...

...using my laptop's

wireless interface.

It's very exciting for me

to join you on this mystery.

I'm usually not allowed

to venture so far from Miss Mirimoto.

She seems like a really great sensei.

She is...

...but she demands absolute loyalty,

like that of a samurai.

Indeed.

Someone who still cares

for the old ways.

Yeah, like, the good old days...

...when people chased each other around

with big swords.

Pardon my saying so,

but that puts the mental in sentimental.

Uh-huh.

Here we go, gang.

I can't see anything.

It's like the whole world

just disappeared.

Zoinks! Like, so much

for our sunny South Pacific vacation.

The island should be right

in front of us.

Whoa!

Look, gang. There it is.

The Temple of a Thousand Steps.

Nine hundred and ninety-seven.

Nine hundred and ninety-eight.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine.

One thousand.

Phew! We made it, Scoob.

Like, in your face,

Temple of a Thousand Steps.

Thousand Steps.

Yeah.

Scooby-Dooby... I'm pooped.

We made it, gang.

And check out that

stone carving above the temple door.
