Quickly. We must rebuild before the monster returns again.

Wise Elder, why does the Great Destroyer hate us?

My child, no one knows why the blue and orange giant

has chosen us for devastation.

All we can do is hope that he does not darken our skies this day.

Perfect cloudless day? Check.

-Slight breeze? Check. -[wind whistling]

Wholesome physical activity with my best bud?

Check and check!

If anyone needs me, I'm goin' to my Frolicking Fields!

I don't know why Lion-O likes playing in that field so much.

Yeah, it's like he's never heard of...

[both] Video games!

You know, kids, playing outdoors in the fresh air

is pretty great, too!

Wow, Tygra, I never really thought about it that way.

-[announcer] Trashed! -[giggling]

Oh well, at least Lion-O can't get into any trouble out there.

Nothing in that field but grass and sunshine.

Ha-ha! Go long, Snarf!

A little lower... There.

-Perfect! -[all cheering]

[screaming]

The Great Destroyer has returned to lay waste to our village!

[laughing] What's over there?

Beautiful day today-. Oh! My body!

Hey, where are you guys goin'? I just made bread.

Oh! My bread and my body!

-[Lion-O laughing] -Can nothing be done?

Maybe the elder will know.

We cannot hope to survive another attack!

Is there no way to stop the giant?

-There is a way... -Oh, cool.

-But no. -Oh, darn.

The journey is too long and too perilous.

-Oh. -It would take a hero.

-[door slams open] -[man] Then a hero you shall have!

-[crowd murmuring] -It's Prince Starling!

But we thought he'd disappeared into the Wasp-lands.

I had.

But I have returned, carrying the Wasp Queen's stinger as my blade.

Wise Elder, I vow to defend my village

from the Great Destroyer, whatever it takes.

Prince Starling, to save us you must travel across the Raging River,

and through the Forest of the Suns.

At the roots of The Great World Tree, you shall find The Fountain of Growth.

-[slurping] -If you drink of its waters,

perhaps you will gain the power of the giants.

-[rumbling] -[all whimpering]

Go quickly now. And beware, for the road is full of danger.

Danger hasn't met me!

[all] Prince Starling!

He's wonderful and I love him.

♪ Oh, who's the brave Young hero

♪ Who journeys without fear-o

♪ No flea, no fly No tardigrade

♪ Can flee, nor fly Nor run away

♪ At a millimeter tall He will conquer all

♪ With his teeny tiny Swordy blade

♪ Prince Starling Hero of the Micrits

♪ Prince Starling, he is small But his heart is large

♪ Prince Starling He'll stop at nothing

♪ Prince Starling His quest is his only concern ♪

Ha!

It's the Raging River!

I am on the right path.

I gotta get across this thing.

[playing flute]

[booming voice] Who has summoned me?

Oh great Minnow. It is I, Prince Starling!

Long ago, I rescued you from the claws of the Feathered Terror.

I remember that day.

You defeated the terror and took its name for your own.

I am in your debt.

Take me across the Raging River, great dragon of the waves,

and I shall consider your life-debt repaid.

Are you certain this is what you want, O hero?

There are many dangers on the far side of the river.

And I do not fear them,

for I am Prince Starling of the Micrits,

slayer of the Tardigrade horde, bearer of the--

-Whoa! -Yeah, yeah, I get it.

You're really cool. [sighs]

Fare thee well. [grunting]

[rumbling]

No!

The Great Destroyer must have learned of my quest.

Race ya down the hill, Snarf! [laughing]

You'll never stop me, Destroyer!

Nev-- Oh.

Oh, that could stop me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[screaming]

[grumbling] When I find the fountain of the World Tree,

that giant will pay for--

Huh? Uh-oh.

Toad soldiers!

[toads slurping] [grunting]

-Let me go! -Oh, you'll go, lad,

down to meet the Emperor Beneath the Earth. [laughing]

Oh no, Toadius. [muffled speaking]

Ugh! Toads.

Whoa!

[loud growling]

A Micrit? In my kingdom?

Emperor Toadius! I am on a quest to find--

The Micrits banished us Toads to the land beyond the river!

And now you break our ancient treaties?

Listen up, you warty fool!

I must save my village from the Great Destroyer, and you will--

I know why you are here!

You want my worms!

[slurping]

Hmm?

No, actually, that is not--

Liar! Thief! You won't have them!

No! I am on a quest that could save us all...

Enough! I cast you now

into the Chasm of Doom!

[belches]

-That doesn't sound... [screaming] -[laughing maniacally]

After all, the Star Beast grows hungry.

-I love my job. -Me too.

Now, what have we gotten ourselves into this time, Sparky?

Hmm. Pretty dark in here.

-Why don't you turn up the light? -Uh-huh. [straining]

Thanks, Sparky, I think that...

[roaring] [both screaming]

-Stop! -Sparky, no!

Uh, what do I do? What do I do?

[whimpering]

What's that?

The Great Destroyer has found me even here?

And Tygra said the Sword of Omens didn't have a pogo stick mode.

What's he know, Snarf?

[screaming] My worms!

This is my chance!

What?

Whoa! Ha-ha! Catch ya later, Toadius.

[screaming]

[coughs]

[muffled screaming]

[shouting]

-[Lion-O laughing] -You will not best me this day, Destroyer.

It shouldn't be much further now,

just, through... Through...

What? Where, where am I?

It's nothing but endless desert!

How does the Destroyer know my every move?

How can I ever make it to the World Tree like this?

This stinks big time.

[chuckling] I love my Frolicking Fields!

Those Thunderkittens don't know what they're missing.

-[wind blowing] -Huh?

Wh-- What's this?

This can only mean...

The Forest of the Suns!

I was on the right path all along!

One foot in front of the other,

and never give up.

That's the Prince Starling way.

Just a little further,

and the Destroyer will answer to me!

[laughing maniacally]

Finally, the World Tree

and the Fountain of Growth!

Grant me your blessing, World Tree!

Give me the power to face the Destroyer and bring him to justice!

[groaning]

[laughing]

Man, this place is great.

Kit and Kat's video games probably don't smell like flowers.

World-Destroyer!

Your reign of terror is over!

Uh, I'm sorry, I think there's been a mistake.

[laughing]

Yes! I finally have [voice booming] the strength of a giant!

You're not that tall.

[growling] Have at thee!

[both grunting]

[chuckles] You're pretty quick for a tiny little guy.

Pogo!

Maybe-- Whoa! We could-- Whoa! Talk about this?

[screaming]

[video game beeping]

[announcer] Combo. Trashed!

[WilyKat] Oh, rad!

I literally cannot imagine anything cooler

or more interesting than this.

[shouting]

Ah, toots.

Before you meet your end, giant,

apologize for all the destruction you've caused.

I have no idea what you're talking about!

Don't lie to me.

Every morning, you destroy our village.

You've been following me on my noble quest,

trying to stop me.

But I eluded you, and drank of the fountain

at the roots of the World Tree,

[voice booming] and now I am the giant!

Again, not that giant. Just normal-sized.

Wait. Where is your village?

A long and dangerous journey from here!

Through the Forest of Suns, across the Raging River...

Ah. Is your village, like uh, really tiny?

It's normal-sized!

You're the giant!

[chuckling]

This does not look good for you, buddy.

Uh, you made me fall right onto your village.

We've been fighting all over it.

Don't be ridiculous.

I've journeyed as far as an ant can see!

There's no way I could've...

-[Micrits screaming] -What? No!

The village should be far away.

This is all the Great Destroyer's fault, not mine!

[voice booming] Never mine!

I am a hero.

Oh, not another one.

Oh, he's horrible and I hate him.

No, do not be afraid.

It is me! Ah!

That was the Destroyer's fault.

Oh! That was the Destroyer's fault too!

This is all the Destroyer's doing!

Yes, that's what it is.

I wonder what other things the Destroyer will do.

[laughing] The Destroyer's doing this.

Ha-ha! And that's the Destroyer too!

Look what else the Destroyer's doing!

The Destroyer's doing this, too. Destroyer!

[laughing maniacally]

Yikes. What was that about a fountain at the roots of the World Tree?

Yeah! Smash, smash! Yeah! The Destroyer!

Look at all the destruction the Destroyer is causing!

Look at it! [laughs maniacally]

[screaming]

Look! The orange and blue giant defeated the new ugly giant!

-[all] Hooray! -[voice booming] You're welcome.

-Yeah, circle. No, circle! -[rumbling]

Yeah, there you go. That's right, get em!

Hey guys. You'll never guess what happened in my frolicking fields!

Ugh, the frolicking fields are boring.

-You're boring. -So boring.

-Okay. -[rumbling]
