Previously on Iyanu...

[roaring]

Tell me where the child is!

[Olori] You will never find Iyanu.

[Fallen One] Free at last!

Good work, Chancellor.

Now, give your life to me.

Give the girl to me!

Look!

[gasping]

Who are they?

The People Of The Deep!

[panting in fear]

People of the Riverlands!

I am Zaza,

and we... -[panicked gasping]

...are the People of the Deep.

Steady, son.

[Zaza] We have come for The Chosen.

Surrender her now or everything burns!

You have exactly five seconds.

Warriors of The Deep!

My name is Kanfo,

General of the Eso.

Protectors of the great city of--

[shouting]

Father!

Toye!

[Zaza] Time's up!

Attack!

[roaring battle cry]

Biyi, you know what to do.

Yes, Ma.

Iyanu, we need to japa!

[Iyanu] No!

We can't leave them!

Let me go!

[grunting in protest]

[gasping] Aah!

[grunting with effort]

[panting]

We have to go back!

Your people need us.

But Mama Sewa said we should--

I don't care!

I'm not going to hide while your people are in--

[bushes rustling, deep growling]

-...trouble? -[both gasping]

[snarling]

-[roaring] -Watch out!

[snarling]

Ekun?

I thought we lost him in the forest.

[yelping]

I've got a clear shot.

No, don't hurt him!

But he's trying to eat you!

Yes, I noticed!

Not every opponent is your enemy...

[Olori] Not every enemy is your opponent.

[grunting with effort]

[Biyi] Iyanu!

[snarling]

[Iyanu] You poor thing...

Is this is what you're dealing with?

[growling]

Wait...

You've been looking for me?

You're... different.

[Biyi] Get ready to run when I say so.

No!

We can't outrun him,

and I don't think he's dangerous.

He looks dangerous to me!

Biyi, do you trust me?

Iyanu...

No! What are you doing?

It's all right.

Just stay calm.

Inner peace.

Oneness with all things.

-Empathy... -[cat purring]

[Ishe] His name is Ekun,

and he will be your animal guide...

[Ekun purring, Iyanu giggling]

It's good to see you too, Ekun. [giggling]

What?

Don't "What?!" me!

Why are you petting the killer cursed leopard?

-[distant screaming] -[Biyi gasping]

[villagers screaming]

[Iyanu] Those people need our help!

Hey, wait for me!

[Teju groaning] I'm so bored!

"Join the Eso," they said.

"It'll be fun," they said.

[Teju] I can't believe we're stuck on guard duty again!

We should be out in the field, Siju.

[Siju] I know, Teju.

You think I like being around the Chancellor?

[Teju] That man is so creepy!

[Siju] I know, right?

[Teju] So...

I brought some fresh mangos to the gathering area.

[Siju] Ugh, I could kill for a mango!

[gasping]

Halt! In the name of the Oba!

We don't want to hurt you.

Don't worry, you won't.

[weapons clattering]

[Olori] Sleep, children.

[warrior] Surrender, witch!

There's no escape!

[chuckling]

You lack imagination.

[warrior] Take cover!

Quickly!

[rumbling]

[grunting with effort]

Brother...

So, this is where you've been scheming.

Interesting.

Goodbye, Oye.

[battle raging]

[soldier] Stop him!

Seize the son of Kanfo!

Hide, hide,

I have to hide!

[soldier] Fan out!

He couldn't have gotten far!

Oh, Father, where are you?

[gasping]

Hurry up, Biyi!

They need our help!

I am hurrying!

You know, we'd move a lot faster

if you'd just hop on Ekun.

First off, that thing is a monster.

Second, it is a cat,

and third, you never trust a cat!

Everyone knows that.

They shed fur everywhere,

they scratch up your bed,

and don't even get me started on their hairballs!

[snarling]

See?

[Iyanu] Ekun, play nice.

A Divine Creature, just like in my scrolls!

It's all real!

[Kanfo calling] Toye!

Where are you?

Toye!

[Zaza] Kanfo!

Make way.

The leader of the Eso is mine.

[soldiers] Yes, Zaza.

In the name of the Oba, I order you aside.

My son needs me.

[Zaza laughs]

You are a long way from home, little Eso,

and I had a son once too...

[roaring]

This is bad!

Any ideas?

Um, punch the bad people?

Right. No plan, then.

[yelping]

[crashing]

[laughing nervously] Hello.

Wait, you're that boy,

from the city!

And you're that forest girl, right?

Her name is Iyanu, city boy.

Inners just... -Sorry.

Actually, my name is--

[soldier] Surrender!

Now!

[growling]

[Iyanu] Follow my lead, Ekun!

What are you doing?

Trust me, Biyi.

We're not done yet.

[♪♪♪]

You want me, come and get me!

Now, Ekun! -[roaring]

[shockwave blasting]

[grunting with effort]

Wonda!

[gasping]

[grunting with effort]

[soldiers yelping]

Huah!

Save some for me!

Haah! Aah!

[grunting with impact]

Nice shot!

Behind you!

Yes!

Wonda! Whoo-hoo!

Oh, you want to play?

Then let's play.

Round one, fight!

Too slow!

Are you even trying?

-On your left! -[soldier roaring]

No, your other left!

[blow thudding]

[grunting]

[breathing hard]

Great job, Ekun.

Is everyone all right?

Um, I think so.

[scoffing] Of course I am.

These guys aren't so tough after all.

Thanks, Inn...

Uh, I mean... thanks, new kid.

The name is Biyi.

I'm Iyanu, and this is Ekun.

Wow...

I'm, um, T-Toye.

[soldier] Don't let them get away.

[Toye] Oh, no!

More bad guys.

There's too many of them!

And we can't help anyone if they get us too.

[soldiers shouting]

[Iyanu] Everyone on Ekun, now!

He's not going to... eat us, is he?

[Iyanu] It's all right.

Ekun won't harm you, I promise.

[giggling]

Uh-uh, that's not happening.

[hissing]

[hissing louder]

-Ah! -Biyi!

Fine!

[Iyanu] Ekun, japa!

[soldier] After them!

[Toye yelping]

Um... Iyanu?

I'm sorry for calling you a forest girl

when we first met.

It's okay, Toye.

[both yelping]

Are we really doing this right now?

[Iyanu] Less talking, more shooting!

And, um, thanks for standing up for me

against those bullies.

It's all right, Toye.

Ah!

Everybody makes mistakes. Unh!

Even The Chosen.

Thanks. Whew!

I was just trying to fit in.

I am trying not to die!

[energy surging]

Wonda!

We've almost lost them.

Keep going, Ekun!

[Ekun roaring]

Looks like they're gone.

[woman screaming in pain]

Mama Sewa!

We have to go back!

But what about the People of the Deep?

We'll have to risk it.

She needs us.

Ekun, hurry!

Hang on, Mama Sewa, we're coming!

Mighty Oba,

the Workers District is riddled with squalor and poverty.

If we don't act soon, they will revolt.

But what of the Corrupted?

They are clearly the biggest threat to Elu.

Oba Adeyinka, please,

think of your people.

[Laguna] Nonsense!

The Workers District is filled with violent savages.

It's time they learn respect!

Perhaps it is you who must learn respect.

We must act!

-How dare you? -Who do you think you are?

[Fallen One] I know your heart...

What it feels like.

Powerless...

Cast out...

[gasping]

Never again...

[heart pounding]

[Fallen One] The container.

Open the container.

Do it. Do it!

-Do it! - [Nuro shouting] Enough!

Chancellor, are you all right?

[gasping]

The Oba needs to maintain his power base

and stop the acolytes of the Agoni

from destroying Yorubaland.

Isn't that right, Oba?

I...

The Chancellor is correct.

Forgive the intrusion, Oba.

It's just that, you see--

Olori has escaped!

What?!

[Iyanu] Oh no...

Mama Sewa...

Biyi, wait!

[Biyi crying]

What are you doing?

Get out of my way!

Biyi, you can't!

It's too dangerous!

[Biyi] Maybe for you, city boy.

Move!

[Iyanu] Toye!

Mama Sewa, I am--

[yelping] Huh?

[crying out] Mama Sewa!

-Biyi! -Wait!

[Biyi] Hey! Let go!

[energy surging]

[yelping]

[Iyanu] Thanks, Ekun.

Watch our backs.

Mama Sewa? [structure creaking]

Mama Sewa!

[Iyanu] Where are you?

No one could have survived this.

What do you know, city boy?

I-I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to--

[Iyanu] There she is!

[Sewa groaning]

[Iyanu] Hang on, Mama Sewa.

We'll get you out of there.

[Sewa] No, no.

This is my destiny, child.

Now it is [coughing] time... for you to fulfill yours.

[coughing]

You are The Chosen.

Only you can restore the Age of Wonders.

But, I-I...

I'm so sorry.

If only I'd listened to you,

took your training more seriously,

maybe I could have been strong enough to--

It is all right, child.

Everything happens as it's supposed to,

even the bad things... [coughing]

...but there will always be tomorrow.

But...

I thought you'd see tomorrow with me.

Biyi...

the vow I took

as a member of the Agoni

prevented me from having children,

even though all my life, I wanted a son.

I thought that dream was long lost,

but it all changed when I met you.

I am so proud of what you've become.

Take care of yourself

and The Chosen.

Never leave her side.

You will need each other

should you have any chance...

of getting to The Source.

[Biyi] Yes, Ma.

Here, you will need these.

They belonged to your father.

They were his lucky beads,

The Beads of... [voice fading]

[breathing her last]

No, no, no, no!

Mama Sewa, Mama Sewa!

Mama Sewa! [wailing]

[weeping]

[growling]

[battle nearby]

Biyi, we have to go, now!

Toye, grab any supplies you can.

Quickly.

Good idea.

It's what my father would do.

I hope he's okay...

[blowing]

[cudgel dragging heavily]

[breathing hard]

[roaring, cudgel slamming]

[roaring]

[Zaza laughing cruelly]

[grunting in pain]

[laughing]

[Zaza] Your Eso are losing.

Badly!

[grunting]

[clanging]

[screaming]

You're right.

The fight is lost,

but my son is still out there.

Please, let me find him.

[Zaza roaring]

[Kanfo] He's just a boy!

[Zaza] People like you took my boy away!

[grunting]

You monster!

What kind of father takes his son into battle?

[Zaza] Why don't we ask little Toye?

[gasping]

Father!

Toye...

I brought him here.

I put him in danger.

What have I done?

[Zaza chuckling cruelly]

The Eso's leader is broken!

[roaring]

[panting]

I'll crush you!

[roaring]

Protect the General!

Where are the others?

I'm afraid there are no others, sir.

We're all that's left.

We must retreat.

You must ride back to Elu.

Report to Nuro and the council immediately.

I will stay and find my son.

But, General, I'm just going to--

Do not argue.

That is an order.

Go!

All units, retreat!

[♪♪♪]

[battle cries echoing]

[soldiers screaming]

[♪♪♪]

[villagers screaming]

Zaza, you're injured.

Do not touch me.

Where is The Chosen?

We... we've lost her.

[roaring in anger]

Seizing The Chosen is a lost cause.

She could be anywhere by now,

but I wounded the Eso's general.

He can't be far.

You lot, with me!

Together we will hunt down Kanfo like a dog.

[soldier] But Zaza, what about our troops?

[Zaza] Bringing an army will only slow us down.

We may have lost The Chosen,

but Kanfo will be the next best thing,

and she will have questions for him.

Now, move!

[♪♪♪]

I...

I couldn't help anyone.

Those poor people.

Well, you helped me.

That counts, right?

Right.

We're safe, for now.

Are you okay, Toye?

I think so,

but...

[Biyi sobbing]

My home...

Mama Sewa...
