An earthquake interrupts their wrestling. Lion-O slips into a crevice and Panthro offers help. Lion-O refuses: "The Code mustn't be violated." Panthro attempts to stop a bolder from rolling into the Wollo village...Lion-O helps him, throwing the bolder off course, and proving his great strength. He has passed the first trial and moves on to meet Cheetara's test.
