[drumming]

Uh... are we sure we should do this?

Well, the Red King helped Alyx.

We aren't Alyx.

[drumroll]

Huh? Huh?

[fanfare playing]

You're the Red King?

[gasps]

How dare you?

There is no king.

I am the Red Prince!

Hmph!

Why I never.

Coming to someone's castle without even knowing who they are!

And on my birthday!

[Toy Guards] Happy birthday, Your Majesty!

Happy birthday, Your Majesty.

Yes, yes, a joyous occasion, thank you very much.

Red Prince?

The King wasn't nearly as rude or small.

Or loud.

Well, if it hadn't been for your kind, the King would still be here.

-Shh! -Ahem.

[sighs]

-Happy birthday, Your Majesty. -[grunts]

-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday, I guess.

[gasps]

How do you know such privileged information?

You must be infiltrators, here to steal my crown!

You literally just told us.

Also, we saw advertisements for your party. Everywhere.

Silence!

You are in the presence of royalty! That's me, thank you very much.

The heir to the Crimson Castle!

Eww. Did I used to be this unbearably pompous?

-[both grunt] -Your Majesty!

We have brought you a magnificent gift, befitting of the Royal Birthday!

It is very rare, the weapon of the greatest warrior to ever live.

Acquired by us and only us with no help at all!

But we're the ones that gave it--

Ow!

No help at all.

[grunts]

[giggling]

Green?

Why is it green?

[yells]

[gasps]

How could you...?

Forgive us, Your Majesty!

We didn't know it was green. We're stupid.

-We're color blind ! Please forgive us! -Take them away.

-No. Wait. Your Majesty. -Your Majesty! Please.

Wait! They gave it to us!

-It was their fault. -Please!

Wait! Maybe we can help cheer you up!

Hmm.

Beheading people does cheer me up, but go on.

We heard you like to play games.

[fanfare playing]

So, what exactly do you desire from me in exchange for playing my game?

There's always a catch.

Your Majesty. You are as wise as you are...

-Uh... -Ooh!

[Little whispers]

Small.

[all groan]

Thank you.

Yes!

If we win, our only request is that you help us get to...

The Tree.

The Tree?

It's so far away.

That's, uh, why we're asking.

Hmm... Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm.

If you win, I will help you with what you ask.

Ah, great.

So, uh, how do we play?

[Red Prince laughing]

[Toy Guards laughing]

-Rule one! -[Toy Guards grunt]

Each player may move every pawn one space each turn!

-Rule two! -[Little squeaks]

-[Toy Guards grunt] -[pawn yelps]

Whoever gets the most pawns to the other side of the board wins!

-Rule three! -[Toy Guards grunt]

To take over a space, you must dispose of whoever occupies it!

Dispose of?

[pawns groaning]

Okay. Um...

I think I'm missing some pieces?

Hmm...

How perfect that you brought along friends to play then.

[snaps]

[suspenseful music playing]

[gasps] Aah!

Aah!

What--? [grunts] Ohh!

Hey! What are you doing?

Weiss? Yang? Blake!

[Little] Now we're all Littles!

[Yang] We're okay!

Ruby!

The most important thing is winning this game.

[White Pawn 1] What's wrong with them?

[White Pawn 2] I don't know. They look stupid.

[sighs]

I guess these are our teammates.

No one's going to get hurt, right?

As I am a gracious ruler...

The white team may go first.

Begin!

[suspenseful music playing]

[Ruby] Uh...

Can you advance one space forward please?

-[Red Pawn grunts] -[White Pawn groans]

Hyah!

[yelps]

[shrieks]

[grunts]

[laughs]

A victory for me!

[yawns]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Okay. How about you three?

[shouting]

-[groans] -[Little gasps]

Weiss, do you think you can take that space?

Have some faith!

[rock music playing]

[Red Pawn groans]

-[White Pawns groaning] -Go Weiss!

Gah!

Beginner's luck! Doesn't bother me, heh.

So tell me, why do you want to go to The Tree?

We want to go home.

And we believe The Tree can get us there.

Yang. You're up.

All over it!

[rock music playing]

[White Pawns cheering]

-[White Pawn 1] Who are these people? -[White Pawn 2] It's incredible!

[Red Prince grunts]

And how do you know this?

Well, it worked for someone we know. Uh...

Blake. Your turn!

[grunts]

[rock music playing]

-[White Pawns cheering] -Yeah ! Ha, ha!

Someone you know, hmm?

Hey, hey! What about us? What do you want us to do?

Huh?

[White Pawns clamor]

Enough! It's my turn.

Attack! Full steam ahead!

[all pawns clamoring]

No! This is not how it's supposed to go!

This isn't right!

This isn't fair!

You...

You...

Wait. What type of creatures did you say you are again?

Well, uh, Blake is a Faunus,

Little is a mouse. At least I think.

Sure!

And the rest of us are human?

[echoes]

[all gasp]

[armor clanks]

Human?

Human?

I knew it!

You must have cheated!

All of you!

-[gasps] -Get them!

Get them!

[Red Pawns shouting]

[dramatic music playing]

[White Pawns scream]

[White Pawns grunt]

? What could you show ?

? Are you ready to go ?

? With your swords up high And your guns down low ?

Hyah!

? Have you come for the action Come for the sport ?

? There's a million ways To spill blood in court ?

? It's a free for all... ?

[grunting]

Hey! Leave them alone! You're going to hurt them!

It's my Royal Birthday, and I can do whatever I like!

? So move your feet And move'em fast ?

? You know that I am here to last ?

[grunts]

[White Pawns shouting]

[grunts]

[shouts]

[pawns clamoring]

-[gun clicks] -Huh?

[Red Prince] I've won!

Give up already!

We won't!

Kick their wooden butts!

[shouts]

? Where's your king of the castle now? ?

? I've taken control of your board game ?

? And I miss the brighter day I'm in a daze... ?

[yells]

? Let's play ?

[pawns groaning]

[screams]

-[gasps] -If you won't concede,

then I will have you beheaded!

You can throw a tantrum if you want, but we won.

Take us to The Tree!

Guards!

Their heads!

[Curious Cat] Your Majesty!

Oh! You must be so distraught.

Unable to do the one thing you were put on this acre to do.

I understand.

Surely you don't want to behead them!

They are but fragile things without a head.

If you get angry and break them, they might not ever come back.

[stammering] But, it's my birthday! And they wouldn't let me--

[Curious Cat] I know, Your Majesty.

It truly isn't fair.

You must play your game and win at any cost.

It must hurt your heart.

Let me help.

[Curious Cat purring]

[Red Prince sniffles]

Fine!

I won't behead them.

But I never want to see them again!

[sobbing loudly]

Huh?

[moans]

[Toy Guards chattering]

What about my friends?

They're still tiny! And he promised he would--

Promises are like birds, they taste great, but always escape.

You should go before he changes his mind.

Don't touch me!

Come! Quickly!

You're banished!

-[Toy Guard 1] Banished! -[Toy Guard 2] Your Majesty!

-[Toy Guard 1] Come on, quickly. After them! -Whoa!

-[Toy Guard 2] There they go! -[Toy Guard 3] I see them.

[Toy Guards shouting indistinctly]

Here! This is the way out.

Keep searching!

I don't know how that went so wrong.

But thank you for saving us.

Good thing I dropped by the Prince's party when I did.

I usually hate parties.

How did you end up in his game, anyway?

We wanted to speak to the Red King, but he wasn't there,

and now we're back where we started.

The King? How do you know him?

[purring]

Well, times change, you know,

and so do we, when it's our time to change.

Don't you?

[gasps]

[Yang] Did you hear that?

There was a Red King.

Right. But something's changed since then.

[Weiss] Great. So we're not in the stupid story after all.

We're in its stupid sequel.

[snoring]

First thing's first. What are you?

What did you need to talk to the King about?

And what is your favorite dessert?

What, again? We're humans, and--

Ugh. I must say, you are not nearly as interesting as the others I've met.

What about...

[gasps] Hold that thought.

[grunts]

What's the deal with this cat? Can't anyone here be normal?

That's not just any cat.

When Alyx was lost, she met the Curious Cat,

who loved to ask questions!

And the Curious Cat helped Alyx find The Tree!

-[purring] -[Weiss] Wait. So the cat is our ticket out of here?

[Yang] Rubes! Don't let that cat get away!

[Little] Cat? What cat?

Oh, goodness.

[yawning] Now I need a nap.

[Jabberwalker] Go. Run!

Pick!

Fix!

[rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

Find.

[growls]

[snorts]

Stop!

End!

Cease.

No, no, no.
