The Mutanimals begin the path of the Four Winds, in order to find Jagwar's mother, Juntarra. The trail begins with the Serpent's path, where they battle a giant Snake. During the fray, Wingnut's mechanical wings are broken. After the battle, the team meets a humanoid snake man named Snake Eyes, who challenges them to pass his test. They must deal with their past before they can move on to the future. Wingnut recalls his past and how neither he nor Screwloose were born with operable wings. Screwloose tricks Snake Eyes and the team moves on.
Meanwhile, Death takes Juntarra to his skull fortress in the desert.
