[low droning]

[dramatic music]

[thundering roar]

[Darel] Whoever wins will probably fight Koa...

[Bindi] My son...

[evil laugh]

[Darkan] Kulipari. Always have been.

[Darkan] I will eliminate everyone you care about. And it will be your fault.

[evil laugh]

..it will be your fault... [echoes]

[dramatic music ends]

[low droning ends]

[crowd chanting in the distance]

[chanting becomes louder]

[crowd] Darkan! Darkan! Darkan...

[chanting fades out]

[crowd cheers]

[pounding footsteps]

[crowds roar in delight]

[bellowing roar]

Yeah. All right. You got my attention.

[bellowing roar]

Aaaghhh!

One of the most enjoyable Kulipari fights I've ever seen.

[amused cry]

Amusing though this is, Lord Darkan, my Nightcasting reveals

that intruders seek entrance to the Palace. Shall I go prepare their welcome?

Oh yes, please do, Daly.

Make sure they find it... "memorable". Won't you?

I guarantee they will remember this visit!

Excellent. I leave it to you, Daly.

[yelling] Jab! Jab! Duck!

I told him to duck.

-[loud thumps] -[pained groans]

[crowd's roars become louder]

[bellowing roar]

[cheering]

[crowd boos and gasps]

[dramatic music]

[surprised grunt]

[pained groan]

[crowd cheers]

[bellowing roar]

[groaning]

[evil laughter]

Yuck! And I thought this place was bad enough in the daytime.

At least we can lose the smelly cloaks.

No point in disguises now - we're almost there.

Looks like Killara kept his word.

Drat! Means I owe Xava a honey snail.

Everyone stay together.

And keep your eyes open. This place feels like a...

trap!

Locked! [dryly] What a surprise.

No honey snail for you, Xava.

[blows a strawberry]

At least we're in. We just need to get past this portcullis.

It's protected against Nightcasting magic. I can't open it.

Maybe I can.

Looks like it worked. Xava?

Wup! It worked. Make sure this one stays open.

Which way now?

I... I don't know! My Nightcasting is still being blocked.

[mocking] Really? I thought you were meant to be the best now that Jarrah's gone.

[indignant] I am!

But Darkan's bodyguard Daly is supposed to be pretty powerful herself,

and this is her territory.

I am... at a disadvantage.

Getting your spinneret kicked?

Do not mock me, Frog!

Let me meet Daly face to face and we will see whose power triumphs. But for now...

But for now, with Pigo gone, Xava's our best tracker.

[Xava sniffs]

[sniffing]

How about it, Xava? Think you can find Ponto?

[sickened] Marmoo!

We're here on a rescue. Your vengeance can wait.

It has waited long enough!

We are so getting beat!

You've tracked them both, Xava? Where's Ponto?

[Fahlga] And Marmoo?

Ah. It appears this is where we part company.

[struggles] Unhand me, Lizard!

[shrieks]

[calmly] Ah. Perhaps I was hasty.

It appears there are other dangers besides locks and guards.

Speaking of dangers, Lady Fahlga -

when this is over, you and I are going to talk about the Poison Scrolls.

[scoffs] Why bother?! There's nothing I can say which will help you.

You're best off leaving the spirit creatures and the dream world alone.

Says the Nightcaster.

[something approaching]

[whispers] Guards are coming! Split up!

Xava, keep an eye on Fahlga.

[tense music]

We still have to get back out. Got anything to jam this lock open?

That works.

Remember: Killara's in here too somewhere.

He's after his pearl. He won't be concerned with us.

Let's find Ponto.

[snoring]

Shh.

[whispers] Step carefully.

[to herself] This is usually the part where one of them grabs your foot,

thinking it's his old stuffed toy.

[gasps]

[snoring]

[snoring continues]

[sigh of relief]

[door creaks] [bell clangs loudly]

What's going on?

[angry grumbling]

What's going on?

Hey!

It wasn't me!

Somebody slipped up. Now guards are coming!

Hey you! Stop!

Finally! Some action!

[clanging stops]

I'll handle these three. You find Ponto. And tell my brother... tell him...

Tell him what?

Tell him to get off his butt! [battle cry] Kuliparrriii!

Get going, Darel!

[struggling] I wish I could, but this gate's locked!

[battle cry]

And now for those keys!

Thank you very much!

[pained groan]

Catch up when you're done!

You got it, Blue Sky King!

[groaning and slaying continues]

[startled] Oh! Yuck.

-[low voice] Darel? -Ponto!

Are you OK?

Course I'm OK - I'm Kulipari!

You guys got away? Is my sister... How's Dingo? Tell me she's alright?

Your sister is out there beating up about a dozen Lizard Guards right now.

And she says to get off your butt.

[relieved] Ah. She's recovered from her injuries then.

-[Dingo's battle cries] -[pained groans]

You could say that. Now bust out of that holding cage and let's get going!

More guards are coming.

You think I haven't tried?!

Daly's Nightcasting makes them impossible to break with poison-power.

Oh right. That's the same problem Fahlga's been having.

Fahlga?! That spider's here? And you're with her?

Not by choice. Listen: to get you out, we'll need Xava's lock-picking skills.

And I still need to find Koa.

Koa? No problem. He's right down those stairs.

[amazed] You've met Koa?!

Yeah... but there's something wrong with him. And listen, guess who else is here?

-Marmoo? -Back from oblivion. How did you know?

That's why Fahlga's here. She wants him destroyed for good.

Hang tight. I'll find Xava.

Yeah, don't worry - it's not like I'm going anywhere!

-[howl of pain from inside] -[Dingo] I am alive!

[chuckles] So glad you're feeling better, sis!

[pained groan]

Right. Who's next?!

You? Hey!

Get back here-- Ow!

[smug laugh]

The poison's about tapped out anyway. I have to find another way around.

[to himself] Ah! That has to be... Koa.

[to himself] Ugh. Locked!

And probably has Nightcasting magic, so Koa can't open it himself.

Wish Xava was here--

[shrieks] Xava! Where's Fahlga?

Can you open this lock? Keys seem to work even when powers and magic don't.

[gasps]

Koa? I'm here to take you home. My name's--

Darel.

The Blue Sky King.

How... h-h-how do you know my name? Have you been talking to Ponto?

And your voice... it sounds familiar...

[distorted voice] It should. I've known Ponto all his life.

Sergu?

Yes.

[astounded] How... how... how are you here?!

I am not. Koa is.

Well, he's here in the Dreamworld, so now I get to use his form in this world.

It's good to see you well, Darel. Goodbye.

[frantic] Sergu! Wait!

How do I get everyone out of here and back to Nova Australis in one piece?

[soft voice] No idea.

Are... are you Koa now?

Yes. You must be Darel, the Blue Sky King. I was told you were coming to rescue me.

Yes! Exactly! Great, that saves us time.

Door's open and there's holes in the wall so let's go.

-No. -What?!

I can't leave. Darkan told me if I did, he'd destroy everyone in here.

[stuttering] So you're staying?

I have no choice. Unless you can free all these prisoners.

[prisoners mumble]

That's... t-t-that's too much right now.

Look, we can... we can try... later.

Then I will go with you... later. Not now.

But, Koa, your family misses you!

And I miss them.

I sense sadness in you as well. You have people you miss?

Of course - Quoba... my father...

[shocked] Your father has passed on?

When I was very young. Look, we need to get moving!

I will not leave.

But would you like to speak with your father again? As you just did with Sergu?

[yells] No!

[calmly] I mean, you shouldn't do that. Talking to Sergu was enough.

-He's weird, isn't he? -You have no idea.

[Marmoo] Now there is a voice I haven't heard for a very long time.

And there's a voice I never wanted to hear again.

[Marmoo] Hello, little Frog.

You're my second visitor tonight.

I haven't been this popular in a long time.

Fahlga?! Fahlga's been here? Why are you still alive?!

That is the question, isn't it? Am I not still a monster?

Do you not still fear me? Or are you here to--

Don't tempt me! You should have stayed gone.

Then now is your chance to do something about it. Again.

Go ahead, Blue Sky King.

This time I shall not even resist.

[exhales] No.

Not this way.

[deafening thud]

What's going on up in the palace?

-[distant cry] Agh! Come on! -[dramatic music]

We will meet again, Marmoo. Come on, Xava!

Koa, I'll be back for you. I promise!

Second time I've heard that.

My offer stands, Blue Sky King!

[shouts] They're gaining on us! Dingo!

-What up, bugmunchers? -Can't you do something about these guys?

Catch them!

Poison's tapped and I'm out of arrows! Sorry - been a busy evening.

Tell me about it later. But right now - run!

I think we're almost at the exit!

But the iron door got locked behind us, remember?

Don't think that'll matter. Look!

[Darel] It's Killara!

Gotcha!

Xava!

After them! Hurry!

We can't leave Xava!

No choice! Oh, no you...

don't!

[furious] You sold us out, Killara!

And you should have been prepared for that, Snorebutt.

It's like you learned nothing from me.

Xava got captured because of you! I should--

Get rid of me? Humph! You're going to have to argue with them for the privilege.

[grunting and struggling sounds]

But I think that's a discussion for another day.

Killara!

Too bad for you, Snorebutt.

But plenty good for me.

[struggling groans]

What are you Frogs waiting for? Run!

Can't you magic us out of this?!

No time! There's a faster way.

I'm not jumping in there!

-Suit yourself. -[both] Aagh!

You pushed me, you sneaky web-spinner!

Cheater!

Winner!

Stop it, both of you! We're out, right?

But Ponto's still a prisoner. And Koa! And now Xava!

We'll save them all. But question for you, Lady Fahlga -

why didn't you destroy Marmoo when you had the chance?

I was interrupted by... Oh, never mind. I'll tell you later.

Right now, we need a new plan.

[scoffs] What 'we'? Don't tell me we're going to trust her again?!

-No. -Maybe you are smarter than you look.

I hope so. Because you asked about a new plan - and I have one.

So let's hear it. What are we gonna do?

[determined] Simple. We're going to pick a fight.
