[distant ringing]

Alright, Crogar, you cover me if anything goes south, OK?

-Zak Storm, south not a number. -Zak?

What is it, Cece?

Erm, on second thought, I think I'll let you go alone.

There's no need for me to involve myself in this.

But you have to show us this famous Zephyra.

-We don't know what she looks like. -Oh, well, you can't miss her.

She's, um... a formidable witch!

Old crone, we paid you good money for this tip.

And I brought you to the door! My job is done.

I don't like this. Sassafras is more bonkers than usual.

It doesn't matter.

We're supposed to find a witch who goes by Zephyra inside.

How hard could it be?

-Right. Be on your guards. -[boisterous chatter]

Do you guys see a "formidable witch" around?

Or was Sassafras just blowing wind like usual?

I'm going to use an algorithm of research criteriax.

Let's see. Facial hair, dental plaque...

poor body hygiene...

Ooo! I got something on our 3:30!

Got her.

-[crowd grumbling] -[Zak] Uh, excuse me...

Can I get through?

Hi! Hey, how ya doing?

You guys look like bold adventurers.

I'm actually mounting an expedition

into hostile territory and I need, uh... [coughs nervously]

bold adventurers! With possibly a ship?

Crogar can take you to Valhalla and back, oh savage Valkyrie!

Ha! I can calculate the trajectorix of a falling star!

Let me remind you two

we are on a mission.

Hello. By any chance is your name Zephyra?

[giggles] It depends... Are you with that gorgeous Viking?

Did Caramba see how the beautiful Valkyrie

looked at Crogar?

You? [laughs]

She was looking at me, obviously. A woman of intellect.

Ugh!

Argh, that dirty little toad has spilled me mead!

Oh, I do appoligex. Allow me to purchase another.

[sniffs] Ew... what is it you were drinking?

Ugh! What is it you just called my friend?

-Ahh! -[grunting]

-[men grumbling] -[Crogar] Ha, ha!

Yeah!

[brawling]

-Come here, you! -[Zak grunts]

Cal, give me the Eye of Aeria!

[static]

[clang]

[grunting]

[pings]

Ho! Everybody calm down!

Zephyra! Gotta be her!

[pings]

[clinks]

-Be careful! -Nebula Star!

Ugh!

Zephyra? My name is Zak Storm.

The famous Zak Storm? And his crew!

You here to help me on my expedition?

Um, actually we want to go to the Sea of Stars.

But without the right magic, people made of flesh and bone can't go.

We heard about a witch with a magic medallion,

the Nebula Star, who can come and go as she pleases.

A witch? Hardly. But the rest is true.

Why would you want to risk entering the Sea of Stars?

We plan on escaping the Triangle. Before we can do that,

we have to unlock the gate inside that domain.

Perfect! I'm on a quest, looking for my father.

He disappeared inside there before I was born.

I'll go with you if you agree to help me find him.

Sounds like a deal.

So, Sassafras, changed your mind?

I thought you didn't want to see that Zephyra girl?

Shut your jaw, toothpick. I did not say any such thing.

I simply said she may not want to see me.

-And why would that be? -Mother?

-[gasp] -Calm down. I come in peace.

Why are you here? Did she tell you about me?

So, apparently I'm a witch now?

Crogar must've been hit too hard.

Beautiful Valkyrie is daughter... of Sassafras?

Is she coming with you on this mission? If so, I'm not.

Wait, what? Why?

-Don't be like that. -Like what?

What am I like? Like you? Like Dad? I wouldn't know!

I've told you everything I can.

That is a witch's answer! He had to have had a name or a nickname.

He was more than a... "Rotten adventurer that had nothing better to do

than disappear into the Sea of Stars."

That's all I can tell you.

Why do I even waste saliva talking to you?

Um, Zephyra, it's no problem. Sassafras is not coming.

-She didn't-- -I'm coming! If she's going, I'm going.

You think for a second that I'd let you take my daughter

into that dangerous sea? No way.

Wait, what?

-My head hurts. -Off to a good start...

I can't believe I let you talk me into this.

We promised to help you and help you we shall.

With or without that old crone.

Erm, I'm right here, you know!

We're nearing the edge waters.

-Anytime now... -Hold on, then.

Eye of the Stars!

Woah! That thing is really cool!

It's all in the wrist.

-I'll show you if you want. -It worked!

I cannot believe it. We made it!

Such a beautiful sight.

Even more beautiful than Valhalla!

[screeching halt]

-Uh... -Oh...

Be careful! The Sear of Stars is much more dangerous than it looks.

You've always fed me lies about that place.

Why should I start believing you now?

Ahh!

What are you looking at?

[scream]

[shrieks]

[whines]

-[hissing] -Oh!

[grunts] Paws off, you gross things!

Nebula Star!

[shrieks]

Woah, uh... could someone tell me what just happened?

Isn't it obviox? These monsters couldn't resist such a beauty.

I just told them to stop and... they listened.

It must be the Okul.

What did I tell you, huh?

This place is dangerous.

We should head out before we get into real trouble.

I'd rather die trying than live without knowing where my father is.

Yeah! Except for the dying part.

We're not leaving until we've opened the Lock of Zite.

Hey, can you guide us across the Sea of Stars?

[hisses in accord]

[Caramba pings]

[sighs] Why is it no one ever listen to me?

I shall make her my Imperatrix Intergalactic!

No, Crogar saw beautiful Valkyrie first!

[grumble]

How about you two be quiet and do your jobs? She's just a girl.

Hey, what's that thing over there?

Nix... The heart of the Sea of Stars.

Where the Ziteens live.

Sassafras...

you seem to know a lot about the Sea of Stars.

Yeah. One would think it's not the first time you were here!

Well, uh... It's just, um...

It's stuff I read in my books.

Right, of course it is...

A tin can stands no chance with a beautiful Valkyrie!

Tin Can? OK, big guy. Let's settle this once and for all!

Zephyra, which would you prefer?

[clears throat] From a strictly empirical point of view, of course.

A scientific genius with undeniable magnenox charm?

Or a pile of muscle with the IQ of a tablespoon?

Uh... I'd have to think about that.

What are you looking at?

You have the gift. I should know.

I had it too when I was your age.

I am nothing like you.

-You'd be surprised! -Ladies...

This family feud won't be solved this way.

[both] This is none of your business!

That's the kind of storm you'd better avoid.

I think their squabbling is fun.

I don't like your attitude, young lady.

Careful, or Crogar will pull your plug, little green man!

Like you even know what a plug is, big caveman!

-Oh, I've seen plugs before... -[all four squabbling]

[Cal] Why don't you shut it? You're giving me a headache.

And I don't really have a head! Stop it!

Ugh, will everyone stop fighting? I can't even hear myself think!

Oh no... the Ziteens!

What are you doing here?

This is a free country, right? We can sail wherever we like!

I know this Solid one.

She ignored our ban.

She dared to return!

Mother? What are they talking about?

You let me worry about it!

Fine, you can take me. But let my friends go!

You do not dictate to us.

The council will decide what to do with you!

Council? No way.

Calabrass, give me the gem of...

No!

No, daughter. They can't know you've got the Okul!

-What? Why? -I promise, I'll tell you the whole truth.

Just don't use your necklace!

[all groan]

Listen, we're really sorry about trespassing and all,

but we won't be long, we promise!

We just want to open the Lock of the Sea of Stars.

[Ziteens laugh]

Even if you get as far as the Temple of Zelos,

you could never open the Lock!

You're just a Solid!

No one but a true Ziteen can open the Lock.

Sassafras,

come closer. Let me look at you.

Bid'Al...

You've aged.

A lot.

Great. Just great.

[Bid'Al] Sassafras the Solid,

years ago, you came to sow dissent among us.

And we banished you.

And today, you ignored that ban.

No longer will we show you our mercy.

Cast her into a black hole!

Bid' Al! I accept the punishment!

But you must let my friends go. They did not know!

Sassafras, no. Surely we can reason this out...

Silence!

We will let your friends go once you have suffered your punishment.

The Council of Seven has spoken.

It's a black hole! Stay back!

No!

No!

The necklace! You said it's all in the wrist, right?

[grunts]

Ha!

[gasps] Took you long enough!

The Okul?

This Solid has the Okul! That would mean...

Sassafras's daughter?

Destroy them all!

Cal, give me the Eye of Zite!

Ugh!

[grunting]

These guys mean business.

We need to find a way out. And fast!

Huddle together and hold on tight!

Hold the Okul in both hands

and think very hard about your father.

But, I don't even know his name.

Zelos.

Watch out!

-Ugh! -Crogar!

We need to leave right now!

Nebula Star!

The Okul worked!

Crogar... saved... the Valkyrie...

-That's not fair. I was going to jump! -Hmm.

He's fine. He just needs to rest.

Looks like some kind of temple.

[Zak] The Temple of Zelos!

The Lock of Zite must be inside! Except now I have no idea how to open it.

We'd need a Ziteen...

Mom? Care to explain what just happened?

Why did you come along if you knew you might die?

I... I told you not to use the necklace!

Enough, Sassafras! All those secrets will cost us in the end!

They almost crushed us back there!

A little honesty might solve our problems.

You wouldn't want Zephyra to be mad at you for the rest of her life.

Ehh... Fine.

I was banished because of your father.

But... I can't be mad at him.

I can't forget about him.

And I... I wish I could see him again.

Keep an eye on Crogar!

[pings]

You're wasting your time, Solid.

Go away before it's too late!

Zak! Watch out!

Nebula Star!

No... That's impossible!

How did you...

Zelos!

You wanted to know who your father is, Zephyra...

Well, here he is.

D... Dad?

Er... A human? With a... a Ziteen?

Eh, I've seen weirder.

Our love was forbidden by Ziteen Law.

The Council of Seven banished me from the Sea of Stars forever.

When I learned that your mother was expecting a child,

I stole the Okul,

the only weapon that might harm a Ziteen.

I gave it to your mother so she'd protect you.

And made her swear she'd never tell you my name.

Oh, it's so terribly romantic!

The Council of Seven would've condemned you to death

if they'd learned about your existence!

[Bid'Al] And rightly so!

A half Solid, half Ziteen child is an abomination!

And we must destroy her right away!

Mother!

Mother? This story is better than a soap opera.

I've always lived according to your rules.

I've lost everything.

My love,

my daughter.

I was weak.

But no more! I'll never let you harm her!

Woah! Time out!

I just have one thing to tell you before you all kill each other.

Such insolence!

Who does this Solid think he is?

Where I come from, we haven't turned on the stars.

And we can't create black holes yet.

But back home, when a law is so unfair

that it separates two beings in love

in spite of all their differences...

Well, people fight to get that law changed.

And that's exactly what we're about to do today.

The only question that's left is,

whose side are you on?

We did turn on the stars.

But today, Solid, through your words,

you've helped us look at them... differently.

My son, you've been suffering for too long.

Sassafras, we rescind your ban.

You are now welcome here,

and so is your daughter Zephyra.

[Ziteens] Such is the decision of the Council of Seven!

Alright. We just have one last thing to take care of.

Since you're half Ziteen, would you mind opening this for us?

Hey, easy there, I'm not a frisbee!

[Sassafras] And you'll be careful to eat right? [sighs]

I will, Mom! See you soon.

Well done, Captain. And all this without spilling a drop of...

Well, well! What am I seeing here?

Could it be... a tear?

Uh, what? No. I... I had dust in my eye. Stardust!

Goodbye, my brave adventurers.

Thanks for everything.

I owe you... my family.

You sure you want to stay here?

Yes. I have a lot of catching up to do with my dad.

Let's not let rivalry threaten our friendship ever again, shall we?

Aww, Crogar not very proud either.

-But she did kiss me longer than you! -Ugh!

Valkyrie kissed Crogar for longer!

Here we go again...
