[bell clanging]

[fighting and roaring]

One last time, friend: we are hunting for a shifty-looking Lizard mercenary

hauling a giant Scorpion covered in glowing runes.

They're kinda hard to miss.

Oh! Y-y-yeah... they were here several weeks ago.

Good. And?

And the lizard said he was going to Cardigal.

[tense music]

Which way?

[nervously] That way. Three days' ride.

What's Cardigal?

I've heard of it but never been there.

If you go there, you'll never return!

That's ominous.

Yeah. Maybe. But if that's where Marmoo was taken...

..then that's where we're going.

[effort grunts]

-Do you think we'll be in time for Jir? -We have to be!

After what we went through to get this Bunyip flower,

that grumpy old frog better throw is a parade!

[panting]

Almost there!

Look! It's Stargazer! What's she doing out there?

Some sort of... Dreamcasting?

Don't get distracted! And yes... that's me saying that.

Tipi's right - Jir is our priority right now.

[panting]

Let's go, Trips! Last push!

[they cheer]

[trance-like] Oh Rainbow Serpent,

Giver of Life and Protector of the Outback...

..please guide my branch as I praise your name.

[distant chanting and pounding]

Funny how you keep coming back.

Daly's Nightcasting.

Naturally.

We're stuck with each other for now, Marmoo,

but just so you know - sending you back to the Void is still my endgame.

It has been tried before, croaker.

Well, I'm inclined to be persistent.

[gasps]

Let it be known to all that Darkan yet rules Cardigal

and those who would defy me shall pay the price...

in the pit!

[cheering and whistling]

And what shall be done with Killara's associates Skink and Nogo, Lord Darkan?

I have something special planned for them, I assure you.

But for now...

[thundering voice] ..let the contest begin!

You know, if we're gonna survive this, you've got to follow my lead.

Marmoo doesn't follow. Marmoo commands.

It's called teamwork, spike-skull! You help me, I help you!

-[battle cry] An excellent plan.

[laughs smugly] Good. I like this teamwork!

Glad you appreciate it.

-[roars] -My turn!

See how well it works?

I swear, if we weren't linked together...

I may not be able to cut this Nightcast chain...

but your arm should present far less difficulty!

-[cheering increases] -[pained moans]

[jeering]

[to himself] Now just need to find...

[Darel] Xava!

[panicked] Gotta get him out of here!

What the..? Who's..?

Oh!

Darel!

Gimme your weapon, you lizard loser!

Get lost!

Hey! Trying to escape, eh?

Too bad for you, friend! You're coming with me.

[whispers] As soon as we reach the service exit, run.

Dingo's outside - she'll get you back to Fahlga's lair. I still have business here.

[deafening boom]

[thundering roar]

[gasps]

[chanting] Marmoo! Marmoo! Marmoo...

Marmoo! Marmoo! Marmoo...

Is that the cure?

-Will it work? -It has to.

We're about to find out.

..with your wisdom, reveal what our future holds.

[shocked] Oh!

Oh my!

Rainbow Serpent's dark sister - the Queen Cobra!

This is not good - I must warn the others! [shrieks]

[hissing]

[rattling]

[shrieks]

No! No!

Sound the alarm! We're under attack!

[long, low drone]

[distant droning sound]

[terrified screams]

-How long will-- -Is that the alarm?!

It is. And not far too!

The village is being attacked!

Oh no! Jir's sick and Darel's not here!

But we're here.

Yeah! That's why Darel left us behind, remember?

Protecting the village is our job.

[gasps]

Coorah! Take care of Jir! We'll handle this.

Follow me, Trips! For the village! For Jir!

[they call out] Kulipari!

[coughing/sobbing]

Coorah!

Jir!

[terrified screams]

Giant snakes!

Just like I said: they must have been making those tracks!

Stinger! Triplets! You must stop them, but try not to harm them!

What?! Why?!

These are the young of the Queen Cobra!

If they are harmed, the Queen will seek vengeance!

So, fight 'em but don't hurt 'em?

Tipi? Thuma? Get those nets! Tharta, get large and get tangling!

We can do that.

Alright, snakes... let's dance!

[distant chanting and cheering]

Welcome to Cardigal.

[Wilka] Eew! It looks like a termite mound of scum and villainy.

You wanted to be Kulipari. This is part of the job.

But the place is huge! How do we find Marmoo in here?

[distant chants] Marmoo! Marmoo!

I got an idea where to start.

[dramatic music]

[spectators] Marmoo! Marmoo! Marmoo...

[thrusting roar]

[evil laugh]

[growls]

Waah!

[Darel] Your friend Marmoo is putting on quite the show.

That Scorpion's no friend of mine. Get me out of here!

Fahlga and I have a plan.

We need you and the other prisoners to start a revolution.

You trust that spider?!

Not a bit, but we've literally tried everything else -

we need you to make this happen!

[grumbles] Alright. I'll try.

[Daly] Lord Darkan...

this is your city.

You must not allow others such significance.

Agreed. Vane?

Yes, Lord Darkan.

Remind this crowd who rules Cardigal, would you?

At once, my lord.

[Vane calls out] Troops! With me!

[satisfied sigh]

This was rather enjoyable.

I'm almost sorry it is over.

Er... er... I don't think it is actually.

[dramatic music]

Get them!

[terrified yelling]

[hisses]

[faint cry]

[booming hiss]

-[Stinger] Three down! Hurry and finish-- -[scream]

What?!

Oh no.

Get away!

[terrified scream]

Jir!

[Thuma] Look out!

[Thuma] Uh-oh! Poison's almost tapped!

[Tharta] Mine too!

Get away!

Get away!

Coorah!

[loud punch]

Back off, you big reptiles!

Ah-uh. Don't you even try that hypno-dance on me.

[hissing]

Em... uh-oh.

[nervously] Guys? Little help over here?!

Sorry, Stinger, we got issues of our own.

[weak] Poison's tapped out... and these scaly sidewinders are... still fighting!

[struggling] Few more... spikes...

Looks like you're stuck with me.

[struggling]

And I'm afraid... I'm not much... of a Scorpion! [groans in pain]

Oh yes you are, Stinger.

We gotta help Sting!

You're my best student. You've got guts. You've got training. You can do this!

[almighty effort]

Remember... who you are!

[straining] I... am... a...

Scorpion!

[triumphant music]

[startled gasp]

Yes!

You did it, Stinger!

[effort grunts] Now get lost, you two, before I really get mad.

[chuckles] Almost thought you'd have to tap your poison there!

Give me a claw, would you?

The poison - I'm pretty sure it would change me.

[Stinger] And I don't think any of us would like that.

It's amazing... I didn't break anything.

Ha! That's what I say every morning. Especially right now!

Looks like you're cured?!

Thanks to Coorah.

[hesitates] And to you, I gather.

Thanks to all of us.

We did it, Stinger! We defended the village!

And wrecked a marketplace.

Darel would be proud.

[crowd chanting] Marmoo! Marmoo! Marmoo...

It appears they wish more battle.

Shall we oblige?

I was hoping we were done.

[calling] Remember - whoever wins will probably fight Koa!

[chuckles] Ooh yeah! Looks like that's gonna be you, Champ!

[grunts]

[sinister laugh]

[Lord Nahradhan] Do you remember how to bow?

[Marmoo] Marmoo bows to no one!

[acting] Oh my! I am defeated.

Oh...

[chanting stops] [stunned gasps]

But... No!

[new chant] Ponto! Ponto! Ponto...

[furious] No way! You faker! Get back up, you conniving bug!

Ponto! Ponto! Ponto...

[livid] Nooo!

[evil laugh]

Kinda knew I couldn't slip past you guys.

I'm heading out to see the Scorpions.

Gotta try to convince 'em. It won't be easy. Could take a while.

-But the village needs you! -Yeah. You're one of us, Stinger.

But I'm still a Scorpion.

[Stinger] The village has you Kulipari

and... maybe they don't need me, but... maybe they do.

You three were always the best part of living here.

But... I need to find out where I belong.

You're... you're coming back, right?

Before you know it! This is just something I have to do first.

We'll be waiting. I sure hope you find what you're looking for.

So do I, guys.

[to himself] So do I.

[thudding sound]

Hello?

[thudding stops]

I'm here, Coorah. I'm always here.

Then why am I here?

Because I want to make sure my favorite fighter

is prepared to do what is necessary.

The final fight is upon us.

The final fight that Cardigal - my kingdom - deserves.

I don't want to fight! And neither do you.

[dismissive] How are you so sure, you little toad?

Because if I felt like it, I could pull your head off your body!

And we both know that.

[sinister laugh]

Yes, young Koa. Yes, you could.

You could probably destroy both of us right now.

But if you do, my guards have standing orders

to instantly wipe out all the prisoners.

And your family at the Reef.

So... either you fight one prisoner as I command

or I will eliminate everyone you care about!

And it will be your fault.

[Darkan laughs ominously]
