Plot
The episode starts when Hefty and Joey arrived with Hefty saying "Hey! I see it, Joey! See? There's a Smurfy fissure.", they stopped and he talk to Joey "I guess we can Smurf through here.", they look at the big fissure and saw something getting out of it which Hefty says "Is that steam? I wonder if it's going to be really hot in there. But it's too Smurfy to get cold feet. I'm Smurfing with anticipation, Joey! What awaits inside? And what awaits us on the top? I can't even Smurf what's in store for us. We're Smurfing into a place where no Smurf has ever gone before! That makes my pulse race! Let's go, Joey! Let's go inside and Smurf upward! Let's try our Smurf, Joey!" as they enter inside of Steam Cave.

Meanwhile... back at the Syx statue... Greedy was the first to arrive, he became amused about seeing the statue, he claims with "All this walk made me hungry...", he opens his basket and to his shock and see Stingle eating the last Smurfberry cake, Greedy angrily says "Why you!", he was about to grab him, but Stingle throws the cake at his face and races away, Greedy at first was delighted with the cake's flavor but then came back to be angry at the Scorpomouse and chases him down, until he enters in a tree hole and Greedy pounds at it, but ended up stuck, Stingle on the other hand manages to escape from a even smaller tree hole that was perfect for his size, seeing Greedy stuck, he grabs a leaf and uses his stinger to cut Greedy's stocking and tickles his foot, then the Scorpomouse grabs a large stick, uses his stinger to make an X on Greedy's but and hits him, Stingle walks away while calling out with a "So long, stupid!".

Back with Hefty and Joey inside of the Steam Cave, they had a hard time with monsters who breath fire and animals like: Lava Weasels and Fire Mongooses, until they reach a safe place, as they arrived Hefty says "We've made it pretty high up! We must getting Smurfy to the top! ", until they hear a loud "GRROOOOOOH...!", Hefty says "Hey! What was that?", once again they hear a "GRROOOOOOH...!", they look at both sides and Hefty says "Just now... Did you Smurf that?", they look at the other side of the safe place of the cave, Hefty says "Did I just Smurf that... Or not? Well, anyway... We're almost there, so let's keep Smurfing.", as they were going to get out from the other side of the safe place, they hear another "GRROOOOOOH...!", a surprised Hefty tells Joey "Did you Smurf that, Joey?!", he agreed that he heard as well, so Hefty confirms with "So, I didn't Smurf that sound after all! It was some Smurf of roar! But I wonder what it could be! Who knows what's ahead? But let's be brave! And let's keep Smurfing on! We're nearly there. Let's go!", Hefty goes to the safe place's exit, Joey stops and thinks "''Yes. We are nearly there. And when we reach the top... We may meet Erasia at last. It may answer my big question! Who am I? That is, who was I... Before I lost my memory? That reminds me... I still haven't said a word about this to Hefty.", ''he calls out for Hefty and he came back and asks "Yes? What is it, Joey?", Joey exclaims that he has something to tell him, which he says "You have something to tell me? What is it?", Joey confessed what happened since arriving at base camp... Hefty says "You... You what? Ever since we reached base camp... You've Smurfed a feeling that you somehow know this place? And you also Smurfed about the fairy that lives at Mistbound Lake? And that's Erasia, right? So the legend Smurf it erases visitors' memories? So, you suspect you've been here before, Joey? You think you encountered Erasia, who then took your memory? I see... So that's what has been on your mind, Joey!".

He thinks and then say "Hmmm... Joey! Well, now we Smurf just one more reason to get to the top! We have to meet Erasia and find out what really happened! I wonder what you were like before you lost your memory, Joey... Perhaps Erasia can Smurf the answers. Let's go! Let's Smurf our way to the top, Joey!", then they enter to the Upper Steam Cave, in this part was tough with vicious fire monsters and animals, until they reach Steam Cave Peak, as they arrived Hefty says "We've climbed far up! This place... It feels... It feels strange somehow... The very air is charged with tension! It's Smurfing my skin crawl... All over... I feel like I'm being crushed... by a terrible sense of danger...", then they hear a "GRROOOOOOH... GRROOOOOOH...!", Hefty says "Eep! It's that sound we heard earlier, Joey! Just as I Smurf! It was the sound of roaring!", then once again they hear "GRROOOOOOH...!", and they feel gigantic steps, and Joey says "S-s-something is...... Is... Coming!".

Back at Syx Statue, Clumsy says "Smurf this out, every Smurf!", all of the Smurfs(except Greedy), arrived, Papa Smurf looks at the statue and asks "This is it? The Syx statue?", Smurfette looks to both sides and says "Oh! But there's no Smurf else here!", Papa Smurf asks "Are you really sure that you Smurf Greedy, Clumsy?", he confirms with "Sure, I'm sure! I Smurf him when I was tripping back to base camp. Greedy walked past, all hungry! I Smurf him a shout and a wave, but he seemed too occupied to Smurf back. But I'd Smurf that Joey's team went ahead. So I'd bet that Greedy Smurf up after them, don't you think?" then the ground starts to shake and Grandpa says "Hmm? The ground...", while Brainy says "Uh-what...? It's shaking!", and then they hear a "GRROOOOOOH...!", Moxette says "What... Whatever could that be?", Lilac says "What an uproar! Is it maybe...?", Papa Smurf notices and says "Something is Smurfing on up there! Let's Smurf up! Hurry!", as they walk away Moxette hears a "Hello, boss!", she looks behind and notices Stingle, she asks "Stingle? What are you doing here?", he tells her that he heard about the expedition and decides to tag along and then he was being pursuited by a rude *Imp*, but manage to get rid of it, when she asked what happenned to the Imp he answers with "He is in a place that I call a tree!" while laughs, leaving Moxette confused, then it shows Greedy with his upper body still stuck in the tree hole saying "Hello? Can some Smurf help me Smurf outta here?", back to Stingle and Moxette, she puts the Scorpomouse on her shoulder and walk with the other Smurfs.

Back at Steam Cave Peak, Hefty and Joey were feeling the gigantic footsteps, and hears "GRROOOOOOH... GRROOOOOOH...!", and appeared a giant quadrupedal dragon with a vulcano attached on its back, Hefty says "Waaah! W-what is that?! It looks like the statue! Th-that dragon... Really exists?", then the dragon roars at them "GRROOOOOOH... GRROOOOOOH...!", the roar even intimidated Hefty with a "Eep!", the dragon says with a roar at them again "GRROOOOOOH...!" and says with a loud scary voice "YOU! HAVE YOU COME TO DESECRATE THIS PLACE? DEPART NOW!", Hefty nervously says "B-but... All we want is to go to Mistbound Lake!" the dragon shocked to hear this says "WHAT?! MISTBOUND LAKE?! I AM THE GUARDIAN OF MISTBOUND LAKE! I AM SYX! YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE HERE ALIVE, INTRUDERS!", Hefty shocked says "Whaaat?!".

Back at the entrance to Steam Cave, the other Smurfs arrived, Clumsy says "Hey! There's the way in!", while Smurfette agreed with a "We can Smurf up through here!", while Forgety says "Let's hurry! Uh... What we were doing?", so they remind him about what they are doing, and they enter inside Steam Cave, once inside Brainy asks "W... W... Well... W... Well... Papa Smurf! Can I ask you something while we're Smurfing? Papa Smurf, do you know about a dragon called Syx? Because I Brainy Smurf deserves to know everything further more...", he angrily interrupts him with a "Well, of course! Just what do you take me for? I'm only the Smurf of intelligence for our village! Smurf up!", he calmed down and tells Brainy "Syx is a legendary dragon spoken of in myths passed down through generations.", Brainy repeats "A legendary dragon?", the village leader says "Correct. The myths say that he raised land from the sea. And that he built up the continents!", exclaims "Wow! That Smurfs like a colossal dragon!", and asks "What if you were to face Syx in battle? What would happen?", Papa angrily answers "Battle?! Out of the question! Smurf up!", he calmed down again and tells him the reason "If anyone were foolish enough to face Syx in a battle... Well, it would be like Smurfing your life away! He is that strong! Like all legendary races!".

Back at Joey, Hefty and Syx, the dragon aproaches them and roars at them "GRROOOOOOH!", Hefty admits with a "Urk... This is scary...", but then he gained courage and says "But we need to be brave! And I need to Smurf up to this! There's no giving up now, Joey!", Syx says "PREPARE FOR MY WRATH! GRROOOOOOH!", and a epic battle begins, Syx proved to be tougher than what they expect, it breath fire, make earthquakes, shoots fire balls, but his most powerful attack was the eruption, which he shoots lava from his volcano attached on his back, Joey say a boulder big enough for Syx, so he catches the dragon attention by saying "Hey! Over here! Come and get me!", He shots a fire ball, but Joey dodges, then it uses earthquake to try to hit him, but this technique caused the boulder and rocks to fall on him, with only his head sticking out of the bunch of rocks, and roars with a "GRROOOoooh... oooooh... GRROOOOOOH!", and fall unconcious, Hefty says "We did it! We defeated Syx! But... is it really...?", then the dragon starts flashing, which Joey screams with a "Waaah!", when all became normal they noticed the dragon disappeared, Hefty says"Huh? Syx disappeared?!", however, they hear a voice from nowhere saying "That was... That was not Syx. That Syx was nothing more than an illusion that I conjured.", they looks at both sides, and Hefty asks "Who said that?", then flashes starts to appears which startle them and the mysterious voice said "Like I said earlier, I am the guardian here. And I cannot allow you to pass.", Hefty reasons with the voice "Wait, please! We're not here to cause trouble! We Smurf only for information!", the voice says "Information, you say?", Hefty answers "Yes! That's the honest truth! Well, we admit that we're an exploration team... And we'd like to leave with Smurfy after all our effort! But we'll leave without any if you have a problem with that. We'll be happy to say that we just made it this far. Please! Please believe us!", the voice says "Hmm... Well... Ok, I believe you.", in a pass of magic appeared a fairy with her eyes always closed in front of them and says "Let me welcome you, then. I am Erasia, the guardian of Mistbound Lake.", they became surprised with Hefty saying "What?! Did you Smurf Erasia?!", she answers with "Yes, truly. I stand guard over something special... That lies in Mistbound Lake. Now, let me escort you to Mistbound Lake. Please, come this way.", and she flies off, while Hefty and Joey, look at each other and follow her.

They shortly arrived at a lake and see around them, Hefty says "Wow, it's become dark outside!", then Erasia says "It may be a little difficult to see at night, but... Behold! Mistbound Lake!", they aproach and Hefty says "Wow!", and scene shows a lake with many cliffs and a swarm of fire flies everywhere, Hefty says"That's Smurfy! Who'd expect to see such a big lake on a plateu so high up? And those floating Fire flies... So beautiful!", Erasia then says "Water constantly wells up from far below this place. It flows up so heavily that it has long formed this enormous lake. Now cast your eyes to the glowing area at the lake's center.", Hefty says with a "Yes, I see it! It's radiating from below! That blue green radiance, right?", Erasia says "Step forward for a closer look.", they did what she told him to do and see a gear, Joey thinks "''........... What could that be? I can't figured it out... But it's making my heart race! But why? Why should it stir me up so much? Why is my pulse speeding all of a sudden?", ''then an amused Hefty says "That's Smurfy! But... What is that? It has such a mystical quality!", Erasia answers "That is... A Time Gear.", Hefty says "What?! That's a Time Gear?!", Erasia answers "Yes. I guard the Time Gear. It's the sole reason I'm here.", then she tells then "Others before you have tried to trespass here. But I used my Syx illusion to chase most of them off.", Hefty asks "Syx? How'd you Smurf that?", she answers "That is something I create using my psychic abillities. Like so...", then Erasia use her psychic powers and recreate the Syx illusion, which startle them, she tells them "There is no need to be startled. As I've said, it's just an illusion. What you fought was no more than that. There have been others before who defeated my Syx illusion. They managed to make their way to this spot. But they were trespassers! So I took away their memories... And, thus, protected the lake.".

Hefty repeats "Took away their memories...?", then he reminded and says "...Oh, that's right! We hope to ask you something, Erasia! Meet my partner, joey! At present, a Smurf! At one time, a human!", Erasia says "Oh, really? A human?", Hefty says "Yes! But Joey has lost all memory of being a human. So we're wondering... Have you maybe met Joey before, Erasia? And did you take away Joey's memory? Has that ever happened? Did a human ever come here? Do you remember anything like that ever happening, Erasia?", and she answers "The answer is... No. No human has ever come here. I should explain further... I erase only memories of Mistbound Lake. I cannot fully erase all memories from living beings. I had nothing to do with your friend's memory loss. Nor anything to do with your friend's transformation into a Smurf. The cause lies elsewhere.", Hefty says "Oh, well... That's ok. So it doesn't seem like you've been here after all, Joey. Erasia, we hoped to meet you to Smurf more about my lad... Uh, what's that?!" and a several voices it happens to be Papa Smurf and co', they arrived, Smurfette says "Whew! Here we are at last!", Moxette says "No time to Smurf our breath. We've got to hurry!", Clumsy notices and says "Look! Someone's over there!", Papa agrees with a simple "Let's go.".

They walked until come across Syx illusion, which startle them, Papa Smurf says"Gr-gr-great Smurfs?!", Clumsy stutters"S-s-s-", Moxette says "It's Syx! Spit it out!", Grandpa says "Sm-sm-sm-Smurfatootle!", Brainy says"Don't eat me! I'm not tasty!", Joey appears and says "P-Papa Smurf! And the others!", Papa says "J-J-Joey!", Joey says "Oh, never mind that! Everyone, look out there! It's spouting! and its pretty!", all the Smurfs says "HUH?", all of them went to look and saw the lake after he introduces Erasia and explain everything, they look at the, Smurfette says "Oh, my! So Smurfing!", Clumsy agrees with a "Yup! Some kind of Smurfy!", Erasia says "Yes, the lake geyser erupts every now and then. It sends up water, just like a fountain... and the Time Gear sends up illumination from below... While many Fire flies glow upon the fountain of water... In harmony, they are the very vision of beauty!", Papa Smurf says "The treasure! The treasure... Must be the view of Mistbound Lake!", Hefty says "............. Are you taking in this view, Joey? This is so Smurfy! It's really too bad that we didn't learn anything about your past, Joey. But I'm glad we came! I'm happy that I got to Smurf such a beautiful scene with every Smurf! I'm truly happy.", Joey thinks "''I'm glad I came too. Sure, it's true we never learned who I am... Hang on a minute... Erasia said... Erasia said She didn't know me... But if that's true... How did I know about this place?! And that Time Gear! When I see that Time Gear... Why does my pulse race when I see it? And this unease I feel... What does it mean?".''

''      Papa Smurf says "So sorry! to have disturbed you! Had a Smurfy time!", Erasia says "I shall not take away your memories of this place. You have earned my trust. But I must ask that you keep this place a secret.", Papa answers with "Surely! Thank you! We all know what we need to do! You know, two Time Gears have been stolen. This one must stay safe! We won't ever Smurf a word about this place! I swear it in the name of Smurf Village!", Erasia says "Please hold true to that promise.", Papa says a "Ok! Let's be on our way! Every Smurf, we're Smurfing back to the village!", all of the Smurfs yell "HOORAY!", And so... The Smurfs' long and challenging expedition finally came to an end... Papa Smurf and the members safely returned to the village... For Joey... Going to the village meant taking up the standard schedule... It was life as usual back at the village! Papa Smurf was thinking Moxette asks "What's up, Papa Smurf?", which he replies with a "I don't know but... I have the feeling that we Smurf something...", then it show Greedy with his upper body still stuck in the tree hole saying "Hello? Papa Smurf? Hefty? Moxette? Smurfette? Joey? Some Smurf?", thus ending the episode.   ''
