Spike kept trying to get through the cave's entrance to grab them, but couldn't. It banged the cave's walls, making it crumble. The more it tried to get in, the more the cave started to crumble. Pebbles fell on top of them.

Branch: WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!! NOW!!!

They all took a run for it through the cave as more rocks fell on the ground. More rocks came from behind them. They came across two tunnels ahead.

JD: WHICH TUNNEL SHOULD WE TAKE!?!

Spruce: LEFT!!! 👈

Clay: NO RIGHT!!! 👉 RIGHT IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!  

Floyd: THAT'S NOT ALWAYS TRUE!!! 😐

Branch: LET'S GO SEPARATE WAYS!!

Everyone: WHAT!?! 😧😧😧😧😧

Branch: CLAY, JD, AND FLOYD, YOU GO RIGHT WHILE ME, POPPY, AND SPRUCE WILL GO LEF—

Before he could finish his sentence, the rocks from behind seemed to be falling faster behind them. Branch used his hair to push JD, Floyd, and Clay to the right side of the path.

Branch: JUMP!!

Branch, Poppy and Spruce jumped through the left path before the rocks filled up the tunnel's hole. Branch coughed, helping out Poppy and Spruce up. Rocks blocked them from behind. They were trapped. The only path they had was ahead of them.

Branch: Is everyone okay? 

Poppy: CLAY? FLOYD? JD?

Spruce: BROS!!!

JD: Can you hear me?

Branch: Yes!!

Clay: We are okay...well, except for Floyd.

Floyd: (Breathes quickly) Oh, no, not again. I can't be trapped AGAIN!!! 😨😨😨😨

Spruce: Take a deep breath. (Inhales and exhales)

Branch: He can't see you, bro. 😒

Spruce: Oh. I knew that. 😇😇

Floyd: I'M REALLY FREAKING OUT YOU GUYS!!! 😱😱😱😱

JD: It's okay....we're going to be okay....

Floyd: THIS FEELS LIKE I'M BACK IN THE DIAMOND PRISON!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Clay: Don't worry, you're not in it....we are in the cave.

Branch: Guys, is there a path where you are at?

Clay: Yes, we can just walk forward.

Branch: Floyd...can you at least walk?

Floyd: .....

JD: They can't see you shake your head, Floyd. 😕

Poppy: Don't worry, Floyd...everything's going to be alright. If we just keep moving forward, we will get through this. Come on, guys, let's help Floyd out.

Spruce: How?

Floyd: Oh, we'll never get out of here!

Poppy: Never?

Branch faced Poppy who gave him a smile. Deep inside and thanks to his intuition, Branch felt like a song was about to come, but would singing really help Floyd out?

Poppy: 💖 Never say Never 💖

She danced around Branch, Spruce followed her moves, and the music seemed to be playing from the other side of them, which Branch assumed that JD had played the music, which echoed loudly.

Branch: Oh, great. We are in the cave, only one way out is forward and Poppy and Spruce are singing and dancing. I guess to help Floyd out is to join them, I guess.

Poppy: 💖 See, I never thought that I could walk through fire...I never thought that I could take the burn 💖

Spruce: 💜 I never had the strength to take it higher, until I reached the point of no return 💜

Branch:  💙 And there's just no turning back, when your heart's under attack 💙

Spruce: 💜 Gonna give everything I have 💜

Poppy: 💖 It's my destiny 💖

All (except for Floyd): 🎶 I will never say never, I will fight...I will fight 'til forever make it right...whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground—pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up-up-up, and never say never 🎶

Poppy, Spruce and Branch danced and hummed the song as they forward through the cave. Meanwhile on the right side of the tunnel, JD had picked up Floyd, helping him get back on his feet again as they slowly walked through the cave while singing along. He faced Floyd, who surprisingly managed to walk again, taking small deep breaths.

Branch & Poppy: 🎶 Ne-Never say never 🎶

JD & Spruce: 🎶 Ne-Never say never 🎶

Floyd: ❤️ Ne-Never say never? ❤️

JD: 💚 Never say it, never-never say it! 💚 

Clay: 💛 I never thought that I could feel this power (Eh), I never thought that I could feel this free (Eh)  💛

Floyd: ❤️ I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower (Yeah), and I'm fast enough to run across the sea, oh-oh ❤️

JD: (Smiles) That's it, Floyd!!

Poppy: Yeah, go, Floyd! Sing it!

Floyd: (Sings and dances) ❤️ And there's just no turning back, when your heart's under attack ❤️

JD: 💚 Gonna give everything I have 💚

Floyd: ❤️ 'Cause this is my destiny ❤️

All: 🎶 I will never say never, I will fight...I will fight 'til forever make it right...whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground—pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up-up-up, and never say never 🎶

Meanwhile on the right side of the tunnel, Branch danced with Spruce and Poppy as they came across a deep slope.

Branch: Wait....are you sure we should do this? 🤔

Poppy: YES!! Let's slide!! 😁😁😁

JD: Oh, you guys are planning to slide down there? Well, we are toooooooooo......

They walked closer as Poppy was the first to slide, Branch went next and Spruce followed behind them. They zoomed down this slope. Branch held his breath. They were going as fast than what he expected. Clay let out a "whoo-hoo" as it got a bit louder.

They continued with the song as Floyd was still singing.

Floyd: ❤️ I can handle them...hold up, aight? I can handle them—now he's bigger than me, taller than me, and he's older than me and stronger than me, and his arms a little bit longer than me, but he ain't on a JB song with me ❤️

Clay: 💛 I be trying a chill, they be trying to sour the thrill—no pun intended, was raised by the power of Will, like Luke with the force, if push comes to shove, like Kobe in the 4th, ice water for blood 💛

JD: 💚 Let's go! I gotta be the best, and yes, we're the flyest, like David and Goliath, I conquered the giant 💚

Branch: 💙 So now I got the world in my hand, I was born from two stars, so the moon's where I land 💙

Spruce: 💜 I'm gone 💜

As they kept sliding, they could now see a clear space from one side to another...on the right side, JD, Clay and Floyd slid down on the slope, waving at them. Branch waved at them back.

All (except for Floyd): 🎶 I will never say never... 🎶 

Floyd: ❤️ Never say it, never-never say it ❤️

🎶 I will fight...I will fight 'til forever make it right... 🎶

 ❤️ Okay, okay ❤️

🎶 Whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground—pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up-up-up, and never say never 🎶

Floyd: (Sings in a high note) ❤️ Never say never ❤️ 

All (except for Clay): 🎶 I will never say never... 🎶

Clay: 💛 Never say it, never-never say it 💛

Poppy: 💖 Never say never 💖

All: 🎶 I will fight...I will fight 'til forever make it right... 🎶

💛 Okay, okay 💛

🎶 Whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground—pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up-up-up, and never say never 🎶

Branch: 💙 Ne-Never say never 💙 

❤️ Never say it ❤️

Poppy: 💖 Ne-Never say never 💖

❤️ Never say it ❤️

JD: 💚 Ne-Never say never 💚 

❤️ Never say it ❤️

Spruce: 💜 And never say never 💜

Clay: 💛 Never say never 💛

As they slid down some more on the slope.

💛 Ne-Never say never 💛 

❤️ Never say it ❤️

💙 Ne-Never say never 💙

Poppy & JD: 🎶 No, nope, never say it 🎶

❤️ Ne-Never say never ❤️

All: 🎶 And never say never... 🎶

As they reached the end of the slide, they all greeted each other, Floyd hugged Poppy, Branch and Spruce. Branch faced towards the beaming light ahead of them. They all looked at each other and then at the beaming light again. Branch nodded at Poppy and his brothers and they nodded at him. They walked towards the cave's exit...
