Welcome to Hope Island.
[ New York accent ] Yo! Say, lady,
you want to explain what's going on here?
[ Chuckles ]
So much for drama.
All right, let me get this straight.
Your name is Gaia, and you're the spirit of the Earth?
And you brought us here to help you save Earth
from being ruined?
Yes, that's about the size of it.
[ Russian accent ] Saving our planet is, yes, a good thing.
However, we're but youths.
How can we help?
Hey, love your accent, babe. You Russian?
Soviet. Please, go away.
Love it.
[ Clears throat ]
As I was saying, through your power rings,
each of you can control one power of nature,
to a limited degree.
For instance, you, Linka, control the power of wind.
Try it.
Well, all right.
Wind!
[ All gasp ]
Whoa!
[ Wind whistling ] Aah! No!
Stop!
Ugh! Chort vozmi!
Gaia: [ Chuckles ]
Kwame, your power is Earth.
Go ahead. Try it.
All right. Earth!
[ Rumbling ]
Impressive!
Truly, with a ring such as this,
I will be able to plant many trees
and also stop many bulldozers from destroying the forest.
Now you're getting the idea.
What's my element? Water? Fire?
Yeow!
Uh, sorry. You got an extinguisher?
Better than that.
Gi, your power is water.
Okay. Here it goes.
Water!

Huh! Nice job, toots.
I'm all wet.
You certainly are!
At least the fire is out.
Oh, yeah.

What do you think your power is, Ma-Ti?
I already know.
Mine is heart.
I can sense you all...
Hear your thoughts, feel your feelings.
Bozhe moi! I can hear him in my head!
That's right.
Ma-Ti, yours is the greatest power of all.
Because without a heart to guide them,
the other powers are useless.
Through you, the others will always be linked,
no matter where they are.
On the side of good, you are a team,

She is, Linka. Watch.
Heart!
Don't worry, Planeteers.
Though I need to stay at Hope Island,
I will be with you in spirit.
A lot of good that will do us in a fire fight.
Wheeler, don't say "fire" until you mean it.
Water!
You must have faith in yourselves, Planeteers,
because you're fighting for the good of the whole world.
And if we encounter a situation which we cannot handle?
Well, just put your powers together.
Then you'll really be surprised.
Wait a minute!
What's that supposed to mean?
Sit down, Yankee.
And fasten the seat belt for your safety.
Didn't know you cared.

The whole coastline is being destroyed!
Ma-Ti: Those poor animals. We must help them.
Kwame: We will. But first, we have to stop the oil spill.
Land on that derrick.

Mr. Greedly, look! Is it the Coast Guard?
No.
No. I think we're in deeper slop than that.

Who are you, anyway?

And as soon as we get out boat set up,
we're gonna sail over there and kick your curly pig tail.
Don't bother shooting more crude, dude,
'cause I'll personally vaporize every drop before it hits us.

Oh, I'm sure you could, Planeteer,
so I won't bother shooting at you.

I think we got problems.
What are we going to do?
Well, we must do something.

Every second we delay,
more of the shore becomes polluted.
The animals are threatened.
But if we attack the derrick,
Greedly will bury them in pollution.
