Lucas and his companions must visit Chupichupyoi Temple, due to being where one of the Seven Needles are located. However, they cannot enter as the entrence is blocked by vines frozen in time. After recieving the Waters of Time, Lucas returns to find the members of the Pigmask Army, including the Masked Man, are trying to reach the needle first. The Masked Man attempts to destroy the vines to no avail, as Lucas approaches from behind. Once spotted, the Masked Man attacks Lucas and his party, to which the Franklin Badge reflects the lightning back to him to start a battle.

Once defeated, the Masked Man and the Pigmasks retreat allowing Lucas to use the Waters of Time on the vines. Once inside the temple, Lucas is able to pull the Needle.
