Cha-chung!

Long, long ago, when magic turned the world,

in a time some cannot remember, but our hearts will never forget,

in a kingdom past the ferocious pumas of the Golden Mountains...

...just above the deadly skulls

of the Jungle Lands...

...and just below the magical roosters of Luna Island...

...resting above an ancient secret lake,

was the legendary Kingdom of Teca.

There, the ancients told of a great prophecy,

that a Mighty Eagle...

...and three courageous jaguars...

...would one day vanquish the dark lords of the underworld!

But know this,

though prophecies may give hope,

the battle will still be fought...

...for victory rides

on the shoulders of heroes!

Look! It's the Teca Eagle!

Mm-hmm!

Jaguars, did you bring the package?

On my command, we engage. Ready?

Uno, dos...

- ¡Tres! - ¡Tres!

Happy Day of Coronation, Maya!

Huh?

Hey, uh, perhaps a little louder.

Happy Day of Coronation, Maya!

Lance, go!

Beloved sister, Maya,

your brother Lance dove into the Cursed Ocean,

narrowly escaped the sea beast, and brought you the Golden Pearl!

- Huh? - Daggers, go!

Move aside.

Your brother Daggers invaded a burning pirate ship,

fought the nefarious Bandit Queen...

...and stole her jeweled earring!

Ha!

- Aw. - Shield, go!

Amateurs.

Your most-courageous brother Shield went deep into the Cursed Forest,

outran a deadly avalanche of doom,

and found you...

...this majestic turquoise bird!

Oh!

Behold its majestic majesty!

Ahem.

One,

you're all late.

But, mi amor...

And two...

- Oh my gods! - A wizard turned...

Maya into a turkey!

Husband, your daughter has been out all night.

These are not the ways of a Teca princess.

Maya!

And on her day of birth.

Maya's rebel fire burns bright,

just like yours.

Gross.

Órale. Off you go to prepare for the coronation.

- You three smell like... - Like victory!

Vamos. Off to the baths.

Maya's coronation cannot be delayed.

There's still time.

And I know just who can bring her back.

Huh?

Chiapa, por favor!

You are a battle cat. Act like one.

Get Maya back here as soon as possible, boy.

Ay.

I think you know where that girl ran off to.

Ay, Maya. I just hope she's safe.

This is going to be glorious!

If I survive.

Illegal Bare-Knuckle Fighting Pit fans,

please give a hand to the undisputed champion,

Bear Killah!

Challenge!

- Huh? - Who dares challenge Bear Killah, man?

I do.

Oh, yeah.

I do!

This is no place for a girl!

Go home, little niña!

Hey! You are not a man!

Oh yeah. You can do this, Maya.

- What's your name, girl? - Eagle Foot!

No, no, Claw. Claw's better.

Eagle Claw!

Ooh!

By the twitching of our ears, a new challenger appears.

You proved your bravery, girl. Stand down.

It's such a great honor to fight you, Mr. Bear Killah!

Whoever's the least dead at the end gets the gold prize of... gold!

Fight!

Oh! I see what you're doing.

- Triple Fist of Destruction. - It's a classic!

Triple Fist of Destruction!

Ooh, great combination, Bear Killah.

Now, how about you taste some Eagle Punch!

Ooh!

I liked that one, man.

Ooh! Oh, I'm so sorry. Do you need a moment?

Check out this Eagle Claw Kick!

- Eagle Claw! - Oh, are you all right?

Is it o... Huh?

The Bear cannot stand before this mighty Eagle warrior!

Eagle Claw!

Mighty Eagle Flip!

Oh!

Ooh!

And now, the Teca Family

Elbow!

Oh my gods.

I think I beat Bear Killah!

I won!

Eagle Claw! Eagle Claw!

Eagle Claw!

This little eagle is not ready.

- Huh? - Eagle Killah!

Ah!

- The Eagle is done! - Oh!

The Bear has won!

Call it, ref man.

Stay down,

or I have to break the rest of you, girl.

Do you give up, Eagle Claw?

Eagle Claw!

Eagle Claw!

Huh?

The Mighty Eagle is not done!

Ay, for the gods' sake, Maya!

This is how you found her, Chiapa?

I'm sure she'll be fine.

And what about her dislocated shoulder? Hm?

Oh! Uh...

We wait for the healers?

I didn't sneak out to the fighting pits, I swear!

Ay, Maya, we were so worried about you.

You could have died in that ring!

Ho, ho, ho! Please tell me you won.

Oh, Mama, I was trying...

You know, I was trying to win that gold for the orphanage.

Don't use those kids as an excuse.

You were fighting for nothing more than glory.

There's nothing sweeter than glory!

Which is not the right thing to think.

Obviously.

Mija, I've dreamt of your coronation for 15 years.

I don't want to be like you.

A... A diplomat who does nothing but sit around talking

while the warriors get to have epic adventures.

Is that what you think I do?

- Um, yeah. - Maya, respect your mother.

Mama, what happened to you?

You were a warrior once. You trained me to fight.

So you could protect yourself, not fight in the pits!

It's the closest thing I'll ever get to being...

To be a... a true Eagle Warrior.

It's not fair that my brothers get to go on epic quests,

but I have to stay cooped up in a palace because...

...because I'm a princess.

Ay, mija, it's not because you're a princess.

It's because your brothers are the jaguars from the prophecy.

Ugh! "The prophecy."

A Great Eagle King, me,

and his three jaguar sons, your brothers,

would one day battle the dark gods to save the world of man.

Dun, dun, dun!

And what if the Great Prophecy was just a made-up story?

Maya!

Papa, what if the gods don't even exist?

Enough!

Come on, mijos.

Being a leader is more than just fighting.

It's about sacrifice.

It's just not fair!

No more of this Eagle Warrior nonsense. Look at me, niña.

Maya will never fight again.

I hate you.

I wish you weren't my mother.

- Mama, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... - Maid, take Maya to my dressing room.

Do what you must to make her look like a princess.

- You're new, aren't you? - Yes, my lady.

Hey, that's my favorite melody.

Mine too.

Some say it was here before the world and will remain after it ends.

Pardon me for speaking out of turn, my lady,

but it's clear your parents love you to the sun and back.

The gods have blessed you all.

I guess.

Tu mamáonly wants what's best for you.

I shouldn't have said that to her. It's just, I don't wanna be a diplomat.

If they would only give me a chance...

...I could be a great Eagle Warrior.

Maya, the queen has fought many battles.

Maybe you should listen to her wisdom.

Oh, who asked you?

Niña!

I'm so sorry, my queen.

Hold on. No, no, no. I'm sorry, I...

Can this day be any worse?

Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca!

Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca!

Behold, mi amor, the other kingdoms have all come to honor our daughter.

This is even better than I dreamt.

Look, look! The Gran Bruja and the Wizard Council is here.

Zapote, the air doesn't feel right.

Sensing a great darkness around us.

Ugh, this again. "Oh no! A great darkness."

"Oh, ho, ho, ho!" "I'm sensing disturbances in the forces!"

So tired.

Ribbit.

Oh! And the King and the Princess of the Barbarians actually showed up!

Barbarian King is hungry.

Ay, Papa, we just ate!

Does daughter want king to starve?

By the gods! The Jungle Lands' Widdle Queen is here!

Did you say Widdle Queen?

Yeah, 'cause she's so little and cute. She's the Widdle Queen.

It's... It's the Widow Queen.

Yeah, because all the men around her...

...die mysteriously.

Look, Fabiola. The Teca princess will be crowned right there.

And we get a front-row seat.

Crown the Teca princess now!

- So we can food! - Ay, Papa!

In the name of all the gods, I present to you our daughter,

Maya!

Yes, I know.

Perhaps Mama is right.

It's just, my whole life's about to change and there's nothing I can do about it.

Thanks for listening, Chiapa.

All right. No more warrior. I'm a diplomat for my kingdom.

Here we go.

Oh!

She looks...

- Like a real... - Princess.

Ow!

- Dang it. - Maya! Are you okay?

- Can we help you? - Oh, no. Gracias.

I got this.

Go, Maya.

Lo, a new day has begun. Princess Maya will be the sun!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh no!

Fly away! Fly away! Fly away!

Are you ready to carry the weight of the crown, mija?

If it is to be, it is up to me.

Ay, Fabiola, coming here was a mistake.

See, Zapote? I knew something was wrong.

Oh, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

- Ribbit! - Ooh! Maybe we do the fightings today!

Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca!

Can this be? The gods have sent their own emissary?

The prophecy...

...it is upon us.

For Teca!

- Oh, get behind us. - But...

Get behind us, Maya.

I...

Great King and Queen of Teca!

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Zatz, the Prince of Bats.

I am but an emissary for Lord Mictlan.

Why are you here now? We have done nothing but honor the gods.

Please, allow me to escort the honorable Princess Maya

to her rightful kingdom in the underworld.

My rightful kingdom?

And once in the underworld, Princess Maya will be sacrificed.

Sacrificed?

Alas, Lady Micte,

Maya's true mother, shall welcome her to the endless death.

True mother?

- Mama, what is he saying? - Everything will be all right, mija.

Chiapa, stay to protect Maya.

Jaguars, on my command, we move.

Now, please allow me to escort Princess Maya.

I promise you, no harm will come to anyone.

But you resist, and I swear you will all die.

Don't look.

In the name of Teca, attack!

- Lance! - Daggers!

Shield!

I can defend our people too!

Listen to me, Maya. It is not our place.

Let your father and brothers handle this.

You left me no choice.

By the gods.

I can help!

Boys, get the Bat Prince.

- I'll take the stone giants. - Got it!

Behold the might of Teca!

- Lance! - Daggers!

Shield!

Oh!

Ooh! Whoo, come and get some!

Ooph! You missed me! Ay!

Missed again!

Ooph!

Eagle Claw!

Huh?

D'oh!

Eagle Claw!

Huh?

Ooph!

Too slow!

Aha!

Taste the prophecy!

Taste it!

I will not fight you.

You'll never take our sister alive.

A bat is no match for three supermacho jaguars!

Go back to whatever cave you flew out of, vampiro.

Know the Kingdom of Teca does not fear the dark gods!

Even really handsome ones.

My jaguar brothers and I were born and trained our whole lives

to fight scum like you!

We are done here.

Brothers!

That prince is good.

- Yeah. He fights pretty well too. - Huh?

Hey! Over here, stone face!

Ooph!

Papa!

Ándale, Chiapa!

Hey, niño vampiro, is that all the gods sent?

- Teca! - Teca!

That's impressive, especially for an old guy.

Perhaps the Teca prophecy is upon us.

I will not fight you, King Teca. It is clear you're hurt.

Listen here, boy.

You tell your gods that if they want my daughter,

they will have to rip her away from my cold, dead arms.

Am I understood, boy?

Understood.

Papa! Are you okay?

I assure you, the god of war will not be pleased.

Be well, Princess Maya.

I'll see you soon.

But... the prophecy...

Your hand, my love.

Ah, I have another one just like it.

- Did we win? - My gods!

See how good family fight together?

Teca princess will be the end of her kingdom.

What a shame.

Bye-bye, Tecas.

This is madness!

The god of war will be furious, and it's all your fault, Princess Maya!

Brothers and sisters!

This is war!

Now more than ever,

we must stand together!

I will lead us all to an epic victory!

Will the alliance join us?

We fight!

Ay. This is not our battle.

We not fight!

Ugh.

Brothers and sisters, you know we would fight for you.

- At times like these, we must... - You must fight for us!

Maya!

This is not how we ask for help.

Ah, we don't need your help, cowards!

Ay...

Ah! Easy, husband. Rest.

- We'll figure something out, Papa. - There's nothing to figure out.

We're going to war with the gods.

For you, Maya.

Hmm...

It is done, Lord Mictlan.

Just as you planned, husband.

And?

All of the Teca army are marching through the Endless Forest, my lord.

I can already taste their fear, mi amor.

They do not know what they do.

Your half-breed daughter, she will be a delicious sacrifice, beloved.

Anything for you, beloved.

Perhaps showing the humans mercy...

General Camazotz, the only mercy in war is death.

And I shall be relentless...

...in my mercy.

Don't wait up, my darling.

For tonight, I pay a visit to an old acquaintance of yours.

************** SE02 ****************

Cha-chung!

Teca! Teca! Protect Princess Maya!

Teca! Destroy Divine Gate!

Teca! Save Kingdom of Teca!

Careful, careful, careful!

Ay, gordo, we need the other kingdoms.

This could've been done with more diplomacy.

Diplomacy?

You want Lord Mictlan to sacrifice Maya?

- Hold her, Daggers. - I got it, Shield.

No, I'm Shield. I think.

Should've told her the truth years ago.

But if I'm not Shield, whose hands are these?

Ow. Ay!

I don't think my arm is healed yet. Thank you, helpful strangers!

Any time, sister!

- Why would you do such a foolish thing? - I overheard everything.

This... This isn't easy to discuss.

Well, Papa could have said...

"And by the way, Maya, the gods do walk among us,

and I cheated on your mother with one of them,

and then boom! You were born."

Mija.

Don't "mija" me. You could have told me my birth mother is Lady Micte.

When you were young, it seemed too soon to tell you.

And then... well, too much time had passed.

How could you betray my... your wife?

Ooh.

Weren't you angry, Mama?

Oh, I was furious.

It was the first time I stabbed him.

I can still fit my finger in the stabby hole.

You were just a baby when the forest spirits brought you.

Your father recognized your necklace

belonged to a death goddess.

And right then and there, we knew.

You were their child.

But I couldn't be angry at you.

This was not a choice you made.

You were pure in an impure world.

I am so sorry, Maya.

And my birth mother, why...

Why did she abandon me?

Why does she want to kill me now?

Ay, mija, none of us can hope to comprehend the gods.

I hate her with all my heart.

And you for lying about my mother.

Maya! Listen to me, mija.

You're a part of your father. And you're a part of me.

I may not have given birth to you,

but I raised you.

I am your mother.

Wait, wait. So, if I'm half god,

am I invincible?

- Ouch! - No.

Okay, okay.

I will make it up to you, Maya.

This I swear.

Teca! Teca! Teca!

Could I just go and see them destroy the Divine Gate?

Just to watch. Please!

Please?

Oh.

Mija, you're not a part of the prophecy.

I need you to stay here and help me protect the kingdom.

- The Divine Gate will crumble before us! - Teca!

- We are the prophecy made flesh, mijos! - We got this, Papa!

My eye!

He doesn't got this.

- You guys need to look out for him. - We'll help him fight!

We'll help him eat!

We'll help him pee?

- Your brother Lance... - Your brother Daggers...

And your brother Shield...

- We swear an oath... - ...to destroy the Divine Gate.

And prevent the gods from entering the world.

And ensure your safety, little sister.

Oh, my jaguars. You take care of each other, you hear me?

- I love you all. - Ugh.

I'm so jealous you guys get to go on this adventure, hermanos.

- Prophecy or not... - You are a great warrior, Maya.

- We'll see you soon, hermana. - Aw.

Good boy, Chiapa.

- Here you go, Papa. - Gracias, mijo.

If it is to be...

It is up to me.

- Teca! Teca! Teca! - See you soon, Maya!

Be safe, my loves!

Oh!

I have a battle jaguar. What could be safer?

We ride for glory. We ride for Maya!

Ride, Mighty Eagle and Jaguars!

Show the gods the might of the Tecas!

Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca! Teca!

Teca... Teca... Teca...

Huh?

Warriors of Teca, prepare for battle.

Lance ready.

Shield ready, Papa.

Daggers even readier.

Did you know that prophecies are just stories?

Fables, you know, uh...

They're there to make children believe their parents are in control.

Ah, such a pity that none of you will make it to the Divine Gate.

Your journey ends here, mortals.

You, little eagle man. You must be the one they call King Teca.

And you, monster, you must be Lord Mictlan.

Monster?

I am the god of...

...war!

It's too much!

Teca! Teca!

We are the prophecy!

And we shall end you!

Ay!

For Maya!

- For Maya! - Teca!

Oh, I can't wait for them to return, Mama!

Ay, Maya.

The journey to the Divine Gate is long, mija.

It'll take time.

In the meantime, we need to keep ourselves busy.

Hmm.

Right. Mama, I'm hungry.

I will cook your favorite dish.

Gracias, Mamá.

Oh, this is such a cool scar!

I can't wait to show my brothers.

I mean, I could wait until they're back,

but maybe I can meet them halfway.

Hmm.

Papa. Hermanos. It's me, Maya.

Huh?

Chiapa?

What in the n...

- Papa! - Maya. Run, mija.

You want him, you'll have to go through me.

Ah, courage runs through your veins, Princess.

Leave, now.

I mean you no harm, King Teca.

You're hurt. A fight now will be dishonorable.

Your brothers' weapons...

...they belong to your family now.

- Honor them. - Oh no.

No.

I am sorry for your loss.

Be well, Princess Maya.

I'll see you soon.

Papa, what happened?

Your brothers, our mighty army,

they are... no more.

- You fought all the gods? - It was... It was just Lord Mictlan.

Maya, they are coming for you.

I swear to you, Papa,

I will avenge my brothers.

In this realm and the great beyond,

you honor us with your sacrifice, brothers.

If it wasn't for the prophecy,

I would have been there to fight by your side.

Rooster?

Skull?

Puma?

Rooster, skull, puma.

Huh?

I've seen those symbols together.

Oh! Oh!

Gracias, hermanos.

Rooster, skull, pum...

Rooster, skull, puma!

Rooster, skull, puma!

Rooster, skull, puma.

Rooster, skull, puma, and Little Eagle

fighting a two-headed serpent? What?

Ugh, okay, okay. So, wait. So, rotate the sun to get the...

Wait, wait. The whole sun?

This makes no sense, brothers.

Unless...

Okay. Okay, okay. You rotate the whole sun...

Yes!

Wait. Rooster?

Rooster!

Papa! Mama!

Por favor, Maya.

What is going on with you?

Mis hermanos, they came to me in a vision.

Like, with gold tears, and there was a rooster, skull, and puma. They said...

- What? - Have you been here all night?

Papa, please, just spin the table to the left.

Please. Just trust me.

Maya, you sound loca, mija.

See? It works!

Help me line up the rooster.

Keep turning.

Stop. Stop.

A rooster wizard.

Mama, help me line up the skulls.

A skull archer.

And a puma warrior!

Oh my gods.

What does it all mean?

We had the Teca prophecy wrong all this time. That's why we lost.

The real prophecy is that the rooster, a skull, a puma, and a little eagle

will team up to save the world!

Huh.

Where are we supposed to find these legendary warriors?

I think we're about to find out.

Come on!

My brothers were right.

So, if we follow the sunlight, the Rooster Wizard will be in Luna Island,

the Skull Archer in the Jungle Lands,

and the Puma Warrior in the Golden Mountains.

And according to the ancient scrolls, the Little Eagle shall lead them.

- Little Eagle? - You were...

are both Eagle Warriors.

Wha...

I'm...

I'm the Eagle Warrior to lead them all!

Hmm.

Princess Maya is different, Father.

You should have seen her, courageous and... and loyal.

And beautiful.

Be quiet, mijo. He will hear you.

You want Lord Mictlan to take your other eye?

Do not get attached. That would be very dangerous, my boy.

Zatz!

- Stand before me, Prince of Bats. - Yes, my lord.

This is the last time I will ask you. Bring me the Teca princess. Bring her now!

Hmm?

She will be yours, and her sacrifice will be delicious.

- Acat will bring her to you, my lord. - Huh?

Your wish is always my command, Lord Mictlan.

Very well, Acat.

I trust you two will bring her back in one piece.

It will be our pleasure, my lord.

Alive, please, Prince of Bats.

She can only be sacrificed if she's alive, girl.

Of course, my lady.

Cross my heart and hope to die.

You're going to get yourself killed, Acat.

You worry too much, Zatz.

Sending children to fetch a child?

Husband, you are incorrigible.

Okay, here's my plan.

And it can't fail!

First, I will ride Chiapa to the Endless Forest.

Roar!

I'll journey to Luna Island. Gallop, gallop, gallop.

Then I'll go, "Oh, hey, Gran Bruja."

"You're the Great Rooster Wizard, so will you join me on my quest?"

"Let's do this, girl."

She'll call a magic cloud or something and I will fly to the Jungle Lands.

And then I'll talk to the little skull girl.

"Hey, Widow Queen. I need to borrow your greatest Skull Warrior."

And she'll be like, "Take this bad hombre. He's yours."

And then we all jump back on the cloud and fly to the Golden Mountains.

Then the Barbarian Princess will see my group of adventurers

and will beg to join our quest.

"Princess, I am the Great Puma Warrior. Let me join your team."

"You got it, Barbarian Princess! Ride or die."

The best part of it all is there's no actual fighting.

It's just a gathering of three awesome warriors.

And then I'll come back to Teca totally safe.

Booyah!

By then, Papa will be healed and ready to rumble.

Mama, you get to be a warrior again.

And with the three Great Warriors by our side, we are off!

Together, we will destroy the Divine Gate,

and we save the world!

The end.

I love this plan.

But it can't be that easy.

I know, I know. Sacrifices will have to be made.

And some, eh, might not make it back.

Gran Bruja, probably.

The Little Eagle finally gets to go on her first adventure!

And if you're not in Teca,

hmm, it will be harder for Lord Mictlan to find you.

- That's right. - All right, Maya.

For this mission of diplomacy, you must be properly dressed.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Not another princess dress, please! I could barely walk in that last one.

Never thought

this would see the light of day again.

Wow.

Your mama used to do some damage with that thing.

Yeah, I bet.

It was a true honor for any warrior to die by her beautiful hand.

Ay, gordo, you say the sweetest things.

And now my Eagle armor is yours, Maya.

Gracias, Mamá.

Ew.

This was my first weapon.

Ah. We fought the whole world together.

Eagle Claw!

Oh, yeah. To be young again.

- Ooh! - And now Eagle Claw is yours, Maya.

I accept it in the name of the Tecas.

And I will wield it with pride.

Our little Eagle Warrior is ready.

Chiapa has been through all the realms.

He'll guide you. And you'll have the map we made for you.

Chiapa!

Perhaps he isn't quite ready.

- Chiapa, come out here! - Easy, Papa.

Come on, old friend. We need you for one last mission.

Chiapa?

I need you, Chiapa.

All we have to do is bring back three warriors.

- I promise. - Mm-mm.

I can't do this without you.

You have everything you need. Follow the map.

Thank you.

Speak to no one, Maya.

And no matter what, no fighting.

Take care of each other and do not separate.

May the celestials illuminate your way, mija.

We shall see you soon.

- If it is to be... - It is up to me.

Fly, Little Eagle!

I think we're getting close to Luna Island, Chiapa.

No, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no.

And our supplies!

Huh?

Ah... No! What are we gonna do?

That mocosa can't beat me.

Even for you, Acat, this is low.

Do you really need to weaken her before you fight?

No. It's just, sometimes a cat likes to play with her food, my handsome prince.

- This is not honorable. - That hasn't bothered you before.

Mm.

No map, no supplies.

I can't go back a failure.

Was that your stomach or mine? I can't even tell.

Hmm?

Huh?

Easy, boy.

Run, Chiapa! Don't lose him.

We need to eat.

Mmm.

Huh?

Are you seeing this, Chiapa?

Seriously. I need to know if I'm hallucinating from hunger.

Huh?

Gracias.

Perhaps an apple a day will keep the healers away.

Whoa, I've seen you before. Wait. Whoa, what?

What are you? Are you... Are you a forest spirit?

A forest deer. Nothing to fear.

Not the deer. Who are you?

We are the spring and we are the fall.

We are everything and nothing at all.

- What? - We are Ah Puch.

Ah Puch. Ah Puch. Ah Puch.

Ah Puch.

A what?

Ah Puch is our name. And this is all our game.

Ah, our dear Chiapa.

Courageous like your papa.

Anyway, Ah Puch, can you guide us to Luna Island, please?

Huh?

Danger approaches, Little Eagle. You must fulfill the true prophecy.

Follow the clouds. Follow the clouds. Follow the clouds. Follow the clouds.

You know about the true prophecy? Wait. Why didn't that rhyme?

Follow what clouds?

Oh, Princesa Maya, come out to play-ee-ay!

What? I know that laugh.

Ah Puch!

Ah, great. Just great.

Hey, whoever you are, too chicken to fight me one-on-one?

That stupid half-breed did not just call me out!

Remember our mission.

Oh, I'm gonna enjoy punishing that stuck-up princesa.

Alive, Acat.

But of course, mi príncipe.

What the...

I am Acat, goddess of tattoos!

Prepare to taste my ink!

Me and my mighty beast aren't afraid of you!

Chiapa! Hold on!

Wait. What?

I am Princess Maya, Teca Eagle Warrior!

Prepare to taste my claw, cacaface!

Oh, I'm going to have fun with you.

Did you think some spoiled, privileged princess

could take on a warrior goddess like me?

- Yeah, I think I can take you. - Oh, it's on.

No one touches my hair.

I wasn't going for your hair.

You can run, but you can't...

- I hate snakes. - Well, how do you feel about trees?

Trees?

I like trees.

That was amazing. If you weren't trying to kill me, we could be best friends.

What? Best friends?

I don't need any friends. I've never needed anyone.

I have Zatz.

Oh, great.

Good night, princess.

Ah!

Ah!

Girl time is over.

I'm going to take your heart out and give it to my boyfriend,

and we'll be together forever.

- Maya. - Maya?

She has got to go.

Alive, Acat!

Lord Mictlan needs her alive for his sacrifice!

Fine!

I'll just rearrange her face.

You dropped this!

Agh!

You stabbed me with my own snake?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

What in the name of...

Silly half-breed.

Did you really think you...

Bravo, Maya!

Cállate, Zatz.

If it is to be, it is up to me!

But not like this.

Huh.

Follow the clouds.

Gracias, Ah Puch.

Oh! Oh... Oh, thank the gods! Except the ones who wanna kill me.

Ugh.

Luna Island.

Huh?

Oh, Princess Maya!

I'm not done with you, princesita!

But I think I'm done with you. Catch you later. Bye!

Come back here, you little mocosa!

Too slow, ink face!

I hate snakes!

Eagle Claw!

No!

Ha ha!

Gracias, caca face!

I will end you!

Whoa!

Adios, princesita.

What?

Enough, Acat.

But, Zatz, I...

First you disobey Lord Mictlan,

and now you want to shoot your opponent in the back.

You have no honor, Acat.

You and I were clearly a mistake.

Ooh! Ouch.

You'll be sorry for this, princesa.

Maya! Are you all right?

I don't need help from a demon who serves the god monster that killed my brothers!

I'm no demon. I'm like you, a half human.

- Huh? - Please, Maya. Climb the rope.

No!

Good thing that was there, huh?

"Good thing that was there, huh?"

Oh, ha ha ha.

Don't you dare think that for one second I owe you anything,

Prince of Bats.

If anything, I should punch you in the...

...face

for everything that has happened since you showed up,

you misbegotten son of a leprous dog.

Zatz, why would you help me?

Eagle Claw! Yes!

Be well, Princess Maya.

I'll see you soon.

Whatever, principito.

Good luck, Maya.

♪ La, la, la, la ♪

I'm so sorry! Let me help you.

Gracias.

Gracias, niña linda.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Uh, do you know where I can find the Wizard Council, by any chance?

Yeah.

I'd tell you, but it's a secret to the non-wizards and witches.

Huh? Oh, of course. I get it. I guess.

Ta-da!

Welcome to the Luna Wizard Council.

What? You mean I was already here?

Oh! You hustler! I don't have time for this.

So, I told him, "Not today, Gandolfo!"

Princesa Maya?

The Teca prophecy was wrong.

We are the prophecy.

And you, Gran Bruja,

are the Great Rooster Wizard I seek.

No, wait! I am!

I am. I'm the Great Eagle Warrior.

************** SE03 ****************

Cha-chung!

Hola, chicos.

Oh, buenos días, Gran Bruja!

Did you find him?

Ay, where is he?

Papi, you're late.

Never. I just like making humble little entrances.

Welcome, parents,

- to our magic talent show! - Ooh!

I am the Gran Brujo.

And this is my staff, Estefan.

And this amazing witch is my assistant and my daughter, the Gran Bruja.

Your young wizards have been working diligently to perfect their spells.

So, without further delay, vamos!

Extendenae!

Super mango!

Cacao beans, transformatio!

Mmm!

Ad Vitam y dale!

Ah yeah!

And our last young wizard is Rico!

You can do this.

You can do this.

You can do this. You can do this.

Oh my. That's the child that used Peasant Magic to get in.

Easy, easy. Look at him.

He's just a poor orphan.

This is a school, not a charity.

I don't belong here.

Rico! Stop!

Hey! Let me go.

Mijo, what's wrong?

I don't want... I don't want to be... be here.

You don't... belong here.

Silencio, Tabitha.

Sorry, Gran Brujo.

Anyone have anything else to add?

Rico, look at me. You belong here.

But... But... But... I'm different.

And that's what makes you special.

I see you, mijo. And one day, mark my words,

you will be the greatest wizard who ever lived.

Greater than you?

This power in you can be great or it can be dangerous.

You just need to believe in yourself as much as I believe in you.

- Ready, gallito? - Sí, Gran Brujo.

Please, get his wand, old friend.

Gracias, Estefan.

Today, I will be demon... demonstrate a disappearing spell.

You can do this.

Dissipati peribunt!

Dissipati peribunt!

Dissipati peribunt!

I did it, Gran Brujo!

Huh?

"The greatest wizard who ever lived."

More like the greatest payaso that ever lived!

You don't belong here!

Street hechizo spells your doom.

Swirl around, entonces boom!

Oh my gods! He's unleashing Peasant Magic!

Everyone, get out!

Street hechizo spells your doom.

Swirl around, entonces boom!

Street hechizo spells your doom...

Gallito, please, do not lose control!

- Oh no! - Out of here, everyone!

Help me! Help me, Gran Brujo!

- Mija, get everyone out! - Papi, be careful!

Hang on, Rico!

Street hechizo spells your doom. Swirl around...

Now, please.

Let's get out of here!

Everyone out!

Papi, get out of there!

I... I'm sorry.

G... Gran Brujo...

It's okay, gallito.

What have you done, boy?

I'll get the healers.

What's done is done, mija.

Rico, your journey has just begun.

What are you doing, Papi?

No.

No, don't go.

Estefan will help you to your destiny.

But you must find the way yourself.

I... I... I don't understand.

I love you, petite femme.

- We shall meet again. - No, Papa.

Please...

...for me, protect each other.

Get away from him.

Now!

The Teca prophecy was wrong.

We are the prophecy.

And you, Gran Bruja, are the Great Rooster Wizard I seek.

No, wait! I am!

I am! I'm the Great Eagle Warrior.

What is so funny?

I don't have time for this!

Now, come with me to destroy the Divine Gate

and save the world,

or stay here like a coward!

You Tecas, you thought you knew

the meaning of the prophecy.

You were wrong!

So now,

you come to my kingdom, disrespect me,

and demand that I join your ridiculous quest to save the world.

Yes, but...

A world made unsafe by your father's indiscretion

and your family's declaration of war on the god of war.

Well, guess what?

Lord Mictlan is guaranteed to be better at war than you

because he is the god of war.

Child, this may come as a shock to you,

but Luna Island does not exist solely to clean up Teca's messes.

So will I, the Gran Bruja, join your misguided quest?

No!

- For me, protect each other. - I can't believe I'm doing this.

Princess Maya,

there is a young wizard my father once called the greatest wizard who ever lived.

Oh, where can I find her?

I haven't spoken to him in some time,

but... I hear he lives near the Luna Island Academy.

Gracias, Gran Bruja.

Ah!

I... I wasn't listening!

Oh, hey, girl.

Ugh, you again. What?

- Wanna hustle me out of more gold coins? - Wait. Where you goin'?

None of your business.

You're in luck. I've been to Nanoyobusness many times.

- I will take you there... - No. Now go away.

- Uh, you're gonna need a guide. - What?

You sure you don't need my help, Princesa?

- What did you just call me? - Snooty. Know-it-all.

No. I meant just now.

Princesa.

Never call me that again.

Hey, if the crown fits.

Never! Now, I'm busy. Leave me alone.

Dang! You are cold!

I'm missing a leg, but you're missing a heart.

And you still need a guide!

Wait.

Whoomp, there it is.

Please take me to the Luna Island Academy.

Sorry, I can't help you.

Oh, come on.

- I'll give you two coins. - No.

- Tres? - Look, I don't want to go there.

I really need your help.

Please?

Fine.

Follow me.

And this is the Luna Island Academy.

What happened?

Uh... Gran Brujo died here.

He tried...

A fake missing leg?

My leg! Oh, my leg, it... it grew back!

It's... It's a miracle! Oh my... Praise the leg gods!

The left and the right. Oh my gods. Look at this. They're even and everything.

Ugh! You and the Gran Bruja set me up.

Unbelievable!

Say what? Her?

For reals?

Ha ha ha!

Very funny, Gran Bruja. You sent me on a wild-goose chase.

Gran Bruja?

Where did everybody go?

I will show you. Let me make it up to you.

Oh my gods. You again.

Look, I'm not giving you any more gold.

- Hey! What was that? - You'll see.

Huh?

Mwah, mwah, mwah!

Mwah!

- Invisibility spell. - Seriously, guys? I can see you.

Can you see this?

Eugh. I wish I can unsee that.

Congratulations, Maya.

You found the vagabond my father once called

"the greatest wizard who ever lived."

Wait. This guy?

He's like a scarecrow, but without dignity.

Sorry, can't go.

I promised your father

- I would protect you, Gran Bruja. - Ha!

You, protect me? Please.

My father protected me until you came along.

Oh no.

Go on this so-called quest, Rico. Prove my father was not wrong about you.

Oh, but...

So, since you're my only choice left, ahem,

Rooster Wizard, will you join my quest to destroy the Divine Gate?

I...

I see you, mijo.

And one day, mark my words,

you will be the greatest wizard who ever lived.

Ready, gallito?

I will join your quest, Eagle Warrior.

Oh. You can call me Maya.

My name is Rico,

and this is my staff, Estefan.

Nice to meet you both. Huh.

Well, we're sure gonna need more help, and I know just who can help us.

Ah Puch... Ah Puch!

Um, you sure you know where you're taking us on this quest?

I always know where I'm going.

But sometimes when I get there, it's somewhere else.

Besides, Ah Puch helped me the last time I was lost.

Ah Puch!

Yeah, I'm startin' to think this Ah Puch character... doesn't exist.

Aw!

How am I supposed to find the Jungle Kingdom like this?

- Ha! - What are you doing?

- You're making fun of me? - Maya! Maya! Put Estefan down.

Shh!

Huh?

We're coming, Maya!

- Please don't hurt her! - Chiapa!

Ya know this beast?

Oh, oh, we're pals.

Or at least we were

until he left me to fight a crazy tattoo goddess all by myself.

You should be sorry.

I forgive you.

Your giant cat looks delicious.

Aw!

Can we pet him?

Of course you can pet him.

If you can tell us how to get to the Jungle Kingdom.

Deal.

- Oh my gods. You're so cute. - Yes, you are.

I bet he tastes like kittens.

Huh?

Uh... The Jungle Kingdom?

It's not far.

Hey, follow us, amigos.

Now we're even for leaving me stranded.

Yep. Exactly where I was going.

They're so fast. What are these kids eating?

Probably jaguars!

That's better.

Catch us if you can!

Hold on! Wait for us!

Whoa!

Looks like a graveyard of forgotten gods.

Uh, hello? Where are you?

- Ooh. - Something is not right.

Hoo!

If it is to be, it is up to me.

- Come again? - It's some...

Boo!

We scared you, scaredy-cat!

That is someone else's pee.

You didn't scare me.

- Really? - Well, how about this?

Oh my gods. Here we go again.

Ooh! What are you?

I am Cabrakan,

the god of earthquakes!

And I am Cipactli,

the goddess...

...of alligators!

Oh, you're so pretty!

- Okay, now that's definitely my pee. - Get it together, you two.

The odds are in our favor.

Then again, I've always preferred a fair fight.

Don't just stand there. Do magic.

Terebro!

You can do this, Rooster Wizard.

Focus. Terebro!

I hate

wizards!

Whoa!

That was amazing!

Rico?

I think I broke my everything.

Wait. You stay right there. I can handle the other one.

Yeah, right!

Whoo!

- Not bad, girl. - What?

Niña, there's no need to fight. Just come with us.

Never!

Finish her.

- Had enough? - That's it?

I tried to be nice,

but now things are about to get ugly.

Ha ha!

Ah!

How about you taste my claw?

Whoo!

Open the hole, querida!

This is so not good.

Holy cacao! Run!

Heads up, muchachos!

Rico? You alive?

Estefan! Come to me!

Come on. Use your magic to get us out.

I can't. I am nothing without Estefan.

What? You're supposed to be the greatest wizard who ever lived.

Don't you know any other kind of magic?

Yeah.

Peasant Magic. It's very dangerous.

Who cares?

I do. I could hurt you.

- Those gods can kill us. - And... And so can I.

Ugh.

Then this is it.

This is as far as we're gonna get.

We lost.

I know how that feels.

Come on. We'll figure something out, Eagle Warrior.

Gracias, Rooster Wizard.

This is not the plan, Cabrakan!

- Lord Mictlan commanded us to bring... - Commanded? We are gods.

Aren't you tired of being treated like a servant?

Look, maybe the girl can hurt him, and that's why he fears her.

Don't be a fool.

Fool?

Oh. Oh, ay, ay.

The gods who sacrifice the half-breed

will become the most powerful in both realms.

And I want that to be us.

But what if it doesn't work?

Lord Mictlan will end us.

That's a risk I'm willing to take.

Ay, mi amor, Lord Mictlan is too strong.

And you think I'm weak?

I didn't say you were weak. Did I say you were weak?

- That didn't come out of my mouth. - Does this look weak?

This is not weak.

Gracias, Rico.

- Hm. Don't mention it. - Look.

That's our way out! Come on!

Once I get... Estefan back, he'll get us out of here in one piece.

Oh, they're coming!

- Huh? - Ah!

- Hey! And where do you think you're going? - Let me go!

Maya!

What? Get back down there.

Ese wizard.

I'll be a kinder god than Lord Mictlan.

This is for your own good.

For my own good? I'll be dead!

I'll be sure it's quick and painless, little one.

Do not sacrifice this child.

Li... Listen to her. She's making a solid argument.

Lord Mictlan is too powerful. We cannot hope to defeat him.

Let's bring her to him like we planned!

Wait, what? No! No. Bad argument. Bad!

Not another word!

- I swear, if you do not control your... - ...temper...

I will leave you.

Help!

You... You can do this.

Mm-hmm. You... You can do this!

Rise me up, ahora mismo. No more fear, ya estoy listo!

Ah! Why is this not working?

Hold on, Maya!

Rico!

- Enough! - Hey, what was your name again?

ChupacaBrian?

It's Cabrakan!

Oh, and you're the god of tantrums.

Or the god of terrible husbands?

I'm the god of earthquakes!

God of earthquakes? Really?

That's kind of... weak.

Weak?!

Ay, not again.

Nobody calls me weak!

Does this look weak to you?

Cabrakan has the power!

I am hardcore! How do you like me now?

I pity the fool!

See?

Cabrakan is not weak!

Enough. She is taunting you on purpose!

- She is? - Come on, Estefan!

- We have to save Maya. - What?

You are nothing

without your staff, wizard.

- Please don't hurt him. - Hurt him like this?

I am the most powerful wizard in the world.

You can do this, Rico!

- Destrúyelo, just leave dust! - Huh?

Peasant Magic!

Aplastalo, and self-combust!

Huh?

- What have I done? - You are the worst wizard that ever lived!

- Coming, Rico! - Huh?

This has gone far enough.

Rico!

Maya!

We're gonna come back for you! Don't die!

No! No, Rico, wait! Ah!

I will never give up.

Come and get some.

I was not expecting that.

Save yourself. Go.

Huh?

You're really letting me go?

What? No!

I'm not going to let you sacrifice her.

Lord Mictlan will kill us both.

Watch out!

Go, go!

Here comes Cabrakan!

Wow!

Jump on!

Thank you.

Whoa, do not thank us yet.

We're not done here.

Behold the might of Cabrakan!

Huh?

She is getting away!

Calm down!

Cabrakan, please!

Cabrakan, stop this.

We can't just leave her.

- Can't we? - If it is to be...

It is up to me.

Rico! Use your magic.

Dale duro and to the source!

P'alante, we're the force!

You're doing it, Rico!

What? You think you're big time?

You're gonna die big time!

You can do this, gallito.

Street hechizo spells your doom!

Entonces boom!

What the...

Now, Rico!

Tadow! How you like me now?

What?

No!

Cabrakan...

...demands...

...a rematch!

Over here, headless body.

Wow! Being heroic actually felt good.

She found the Rooster Wizard.

Praise the celestials.

Almost there.

Are you all right, goddess?

I am now, niños. Why didn't you go when you had the chance?

You let me go. We couldn't just leave you.

Yeah, there's a word for people who always do heroic things.

Heroes.

No. Dead.

Yeah, the word is dead.

If you ever need me, Maya, I will be there.

Farewell, Princess Teca.

Adios, Cipactli.

Fine. Be that way. But you're missing out.

We should go now.

Um...

Which way to the Jungle Kingdom?

Follow the bees and the sweet scent of jasmine toward the purple mist.

Head northeast.

- That way. - Got it.

Gracias, Cipactli!

So, how did you convince Chiapa to come back?

I... I cast a courageous battle cat spell on him.

You did?

Um, there is no such thing.

But he didn't know that. See? You did it all on your own.

You a bad gato.

So did you. You fought by my side even without Estefan.

That was... That was really brave.

Gracias.

The Gran Brujo would have been really proud of me.

Whoa!

We made it.

Whoa!

Wait. I don't see any guards.

And there they are.

Okay. Why don't you let Ri...

me handle this.

- Huh? - Rico?

Rico!

We mean you no harm.

This is gonna hurt.

You have cursed us all, Monstruo Blanco!

To my brave son, Picchu,

mightiest of all barbarians!

For Maya!

************** SE04 ****************

Cha-chung!

Oh no.

Here. Here, bebé.

The curse is upon us!

El Monstruo Blanco!

We are cursed!

Let the jungle decide its fate.

Run! Before the curse takes us all!

Ah...

Ah!

Ah!

El Monstruo Blanco!

♪ La la la la la la la ♪

Put that childish thing away, mija.

Si, Papa.

My bravest warriors,

the truest of you all shall become my personal guard

and wield a magical golden bow.

What do you think, my queen?

Yes, yes!

Huh?

Archer, come forward!

Your skills are magnificent.

Put your weapons down.

The legend of El Monstruo Blancois true.

I would like to get a better view of my new bodyguard.

Ooh.

Very interesting.

As pale as Lady Micte herself.

Whoa.

Bring the greatest prize of all

for my greatest warriors.

Oh, yes, a gift from the Tecas,

a golden magic bow...

...for my new favorite pet.

You filthy animal!

You dare strike your king?

You! You are a curse!

Brace yourself, Fabiola.

You insolent, vile creature.

You have cursed us all, Monstruo Blanco!

Burn it all down!

Papa, don't do this. Por favor.

Run!

You don't understand. I'm... I am...

One more word and the cat gets it.

Oh, oh!

You, muévete.

Hmm.

Leave the cat here.

My leg is no bueno.

- You want us to chop it off? - I'm healed!

Oh yeah. This doesn't hurt at all.

Ooh!

Oh. Oh!

That poor little girl must be terrified of her evil grandpa.

That's the Jungle Lands' king, and that is his daughter, the Widow Queen.

She looks so sweet.

Yeah? No. They call her that because all the men around her die.

Dang!

- Beloved Widow Queen of the Jungle Lands... - Whoa.

...we found these drifters trying to sneak into our kingdom.

Drifters? I am...

Now why don't you let Rico handle this? I'm great with little kids.

Listen here, baby girl.

Now, we need to talk boring grown-up business.

So why don't you tell your mamita and papito that we're here,

and then go sleepy nappy siesta time?

Oy no.

Guards, feed him to the hyenas.

Yikes! Estefan, help!

Terebro!

Ah, yeah, um, which way to the hyenas?

Beloved Queen of the Jungle Lands,

I humbly apologize for not giving advance notice of our visit.

- Ow! - And for my insolent partner.

See? I'm insolent until proven guilty.

It is me, Princess Maya of the Tecas.

Stand down, guards.

Now that's what I thought! It was about to get real crazy in here.

- I'm loco! - Princess, please state your business.

My father was wrong about the Teca prophecy.

But I have figured out its true meaning.

The prophecy I saw was of four warriors,

- one from each kingdom. - Hm.

I'm the Little Eagle from Teca, and my friend, Rico,

is the Mighty Rooster Wizard

from Luna Island.

Yeah.

We are here seeking the True Skull Warrior from the Jungle Lands,

Hm? No.

- Would you like some tea? - Tea, Your Majesty?

It's tea time for me and Fabiola.

Make believe tea party time? You can't be serious.

- Would you prefer the hyenas? - I'll take my tea with two lumps.

Ah!

Princess Maya,

the Jungle Lands weep for your brothers and the brave warriors of Teca.

You do? Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm surprised our Jungle Lands were included in your prophecy.

Our fathers only worked with their neighboring kingdoms

when it benefited their own self-interest.

Yes, I know.

Kings could often be very shortsighted.

Hmm.

Perhaps this is a chance to right our fathers' wrongs.

Perhaps.

Mmm!

This té de manzanilla really hits the spot.

Your cup is empty, wizard.

Yep. Much, much better, Your Majesty.

Aha.

About our quest...

I will help you.

The greatest warrior in the Jungle Lands is

El Monstruo Blanco.

El Monstruo Blanco?

An unfortunate name

given to her by those who feared her outward appearance.

Oh.

Thanks to my father, she now lives as a recluse

in a burnt tree.

No daughter of this kingdom

should be treated as she was, royal or not.

After my father died, I sent guards to invite her back.

But she made it very clear they were not welcome.

- We must speak with her. - Must we though?

I cannot guarantee your safety.

We'll take our chances.

If you manage to meet with this archer, please tell her

that I am very sorry for what we did to her and all of those poor animals.

Your Majesty, you have my word.

Whoa!

We must be getting closer to Monstruo Blanco.

Chiapa, trust me,

there's nothing to be afraid of.

Ah!

- Chiapa, no! - This is gonna keep happening with him.

Look!

I'm gonna die! Ah!

Thanks, Estefan!

Rico, come on. That's definitely El Monstruo Blanco.

Okay. This is what we're gonna do. I'll be the decoy.

You climb into the burnt tree, tackle her, and take away her bow with Estefan.

- That's your plan? - You got a better one?

Yeah. It's exactly like yours,

except we run away!

All right, fearless leader, go decoy away!

She's exactly who I need.

I can't believe this plan is working.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Ah!

It's okay. It's okay. We just wanna talk.

You're a miracle.

Ooh. Oh! Huevos rancheros!

Ah!

I think we made a mistake.

Ah!

Great plan.

Shh.

Before you kill us,

the Widow Queen told us

you're the best warrior in all the Jungle Lands.

We need you to come with us to destroy the Divine Gate.

She cannot be the True Skull Warrior.

Girl can't even speak.

Why do you wanna destroy the gate? If you do that, we'll never meet the gods.

Exactly!

Um, fun fact, Lady Micte, the goddess of death, is her mother.

Yeah, she got some mama issues.

We ain't gonna talk into that, but by the way, I'm Rico.

Oh!

Your mother is the goddess of death?

Yes.

My father said this belonged to her.

Talk before I change my mind, human.

The half-breed, where is she?

She managed to escape, my lord.

- And Zatz, where is he? - Huh?

Zatz and I are no longer together.

No longer together?

- That's not what she asked you, girl. - I... I don't know where he is, my lord.

- Hmm. Very well. Hura! Can! - Your Majesty.

We are at your service.

Capture the half-breed. Bring her to me alive.

Oh, kill her companions.

Consider it done.

My lord, my lord, please, allow me to join them and atone for my failure.

No, no, that won't be necessary, mija.

Please, Lord Mictlan, I beg you.

You will regret this, you...

Adios, Zatz.

Ay, ay, ay.

Meaning you're the True Skull Warrior from the prophecy.

So will you join our quest?

Only if you promise to introduce me to the goddess of death.

I promise.

I don't trust you.

- You smell like a liar. - I... I...

I... I have no reason to lie.

This'll be an uneasy alliance. I may decide to kill you later.

You're supposed to say that part inside your head.

- I'll prepare for the quest. - Hey, I'll help.

Move and die, wizard.

Okay. But then again, this boulder is pretty comfy.

Soon, Lady Micte. I shall be with you soon.

Ugh. She sure is taking her time.

- Well, well, well, look who's back. - Where have you been?

- You were on lookout duty? - Oh yeah, looking out for yourself.

Hey.

I am ready to quest.

Wow!

You look spectacular.

Oh... To die by your side would be such a heavenly way to die.

Skull Warrior, what is your name?

Hm?

Ooh. Ah, do you have a nickname?

Most humans call me El Monstruo Blanco.

Um... Hmm. Okay... You know... Look, maybe, maybe Monsty for short.

But I have always preferred to be called Chimi.

- Yeah, that'll work. - Welcome to the prophecy, Chimi.

And you swear to introduce me to the goddess of death?

This I swear.

Ah!

Maya and the Two are ready!

As soon as we reach the Golden Mountains, we must find the Great Puma Warrior.

Then the goddess of death?

Yes, then the goddess of death.

- Wh... Why do you wanna meet her so bad? - We're not doing this.

- Okay. Why not? - Because I hate you.

It usually takes people hours to hate me.

You said I was... I was a miracle.

- Huh? - Nothing. Shut up, weirdo.

Oh, I like her.

Whatever your reason for wanting to meet the goddess of death,

you should know that she ruined my life.

She gave me up when I was born.

My father and his wife, my true mother,

they raised me. It was awful.

So, you're a princess...

...you live in a palace, you have two mothers,

one who's a queen and one who's a goddess?

- She has a point. - But my mother is a monstruo.

Huh?

- Ooh! - I'm s... I didn't mean...

Enough.

Before you start complaining about what you don't have,

be thankful for what you do have.

It's getting late. And I'm hungry. I'm gonna find some food, princesa.

Huh. I think I really like her.

Yeah, me too. I'll go help.

Take Chiapa and stay together. I'll go find wood for the campfire.

Onward!

Good evening, Princess Maya.

I'm sorry I scared you. Here. You dropped this.

What do you want?

I was never going to present you to Lord Mictlan.

I was going to take you home to meet my father.

You were? Why?

So he could sacrifice you and overthrow the god of war.

Why is everyone being so brutally honest with me today?

No. We no longer want to sacrifice you. I believe you're right about the prophecy.

I believe you can defeat Lord Mictlan.

With our help, of course.

- How did you... - Oh yes.

I know your real plan is to kill that monster.

- Join forces with us. - Join forces?

First you wanna kill me, then you send your girlfriend after me.

Hmm. Ex... Ex-girlfriend. Hmm.

- We broke up. - You did?

I mean, whatever. I'll never join forces with the likes of you.

- Why not? - I can't trust you.

You're right. Trust must be earned.

- R... Right. - You all must stay vigilant.

Lord Mictlan has sent two more gods after you.

Uh-ba-ba-ba-ba. I do not need your help, you teller of lies.

You serpent tongue. You bat hombre.

Be well, Princess Maya.

I'll see you soon.

What... You...

Show-off.

The Golden Mountains Kingdom should be on that side of the valley.

Fun fact, this has been the site of countless brutal battles.

I don't think you get how fun facts work.

I am Hura, the god of storms!

Rah!

- I don't know what he said. - He said he's Can, the god of wind.

Oh.

- Zatz was telling the truth. Ah! - Acat was a mere child.

It is time you face some real gods.

Ah!

Hey there.

Chiapa! You can't keep running away!

Humans.

Let's take them for a spin, bro.

Twin wind of terror!

- Ah! - Ah!

Run away faster, Chiapa!

Back so soon, mocosos?

Chiapa, do not run.

You can't keep running away!

Ah... I like that.

Maybe we should sacrifice her for ourselves.

What? I guess she speaks jaguar.

Change of plan, mocosos.

We are going to kill the princesa.

Talk is cheap, you brutes!

Ah!

- I don't know what you told him. - Welcome back, Chiapa.

Ah, humans... so cute.

And so stupid.

We have to work together!

Ah!

I fight alone!

How dare you?

You're going down.

Chimi!

Boulder,

tree, pavo!

We are the prophecy!

Hold on, Estefan!

Ah!

Rico!

I'll kill the girl. Bro, you kill the boy.

Oh, El Monstruo Blanco.

Let's get rid of it first.

Help her, Rico.

Magic shield, protéjala. Shelter her y cuídala.

Huh?

Yes, yes!

Yes, keep going, hermano.

He's a wizard, bro.

I hate wizards.

Nobody messes with mi familia.

And nobody messes with mine!

Huh?

Ah!

Get him, Chiapa!

They fight for me.

You can't keep this up, half-breed.

Rico, don't stop.

Die, wizard!

Rico!

Playtime is over, mocosos.

Oh!

Leave me. You've done enough.

Save yourselves.

What?!

Huh?

Almost there.

- I'm not dead? - Good job, wizard.

We do this together!

Hey, mocosos,

it takes two to make things go right.

It takes two to make it out of sight!

God twin powers activate!

It's the end of the line for all of you chamacos.

There's no getting out now, half-breed.

I have a plan.

How many arrows do you have left?

One.

Then we make it count.

Tighten it up, bro.

I'm not letting you go, Chimi!

We got you, Maya.

Throw your weapon up as hard as you can.

- What? - Trust me.

Whatever you're trying to do, do it now.

Ooh!

Ah!

Chiapa?

Rico?

Maya?

Chiapa!

- Thank you, my beau... Whoa! - We should go.

On a soulful walk?

- To the Golden Mountains Kingdom. - Ah, yeah.

Hm.

- Follow me. - She's walking in the wrong direction.

Again.

That was a test. You both passed.

Mm-hmm.

- Just say it. You need us. - Say it.

The truth is I need you guys.

- Okay. Don't make this weird. - Too late.

Maya and the Two are ready!

Yeah!

One more warrior to go.

Hola!

Barbarian King?

Barbarian princesa!

So this is the Golden Mountains Kingdom palace.

Where is everybody?

Snake! I hate snakes!

Careful. Do not touch anything.

Rico.

I'm sorry!

I didn't mean to! Oh!

Ah!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

************** SE05 ****************

Cha-chung!

Ooph.

Why not pick on someone own size?

Barbarians!

Huh?

Ah!

Hmm?

Ah!

Hola, I am Picchu.

Huh?

Kick!

I got you, little baby.

Kick!

Ha!

Gracias, guerrero.

Gracias, Picchu!

Taste my ax!

Our son, fiercest of warriors!

Barbarians!

Barbarians!

Ew, gross.

Ay, Papa. Ay, Mama.

Barbarians!

Who wants more of Picchu?

Huh?

Worthy foe.

Huh?

Oh!

Agh.

You make Picchu mad!

Ay?!

Spare me, and I swear you will never see me again.

Hmm.

Go. Never come back.

Ah!

Battle over, son.

We win.

Good to show mercy, Picchu.

We... We fight for noble cause.

To my brave son, Picchu, mightiest of all barbarians!

To Picchu!

I love you, mijo.

Love you too, mi puma.

Ew.

Hm.

Hmm...

Ay!

Huh?

Picchu let you go.

Why you do this?

A scorpion wanted to cross a river.

He asked for help from a frog, but the frog refused,

fearing the scorpion's sting.

The scorpion promised he would not sting the frog,

so the frog agreed,

allowed the scorpion onto his back,

and hopped across the river.

Then the scorpion stung him.

As the frog lay dying, he asked,

"Why?"

And the scorpion replied, "Because I am a scorpion."

Papa. Mama.

Why did I conquer your people? Because I am a warrior.

Why did you show mercy? Because you are a fool.

Mercy is weakness.

You do not deserve a warrior's death.

You will spend the rest of your days knowing you cursed your family.

Rico!

- Ooh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Oh! - Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

- Whoa! - Chiapa!

Ooh! Friend.

You're kind of broken, aren't you? Mm-mm-mm. That's exactly my type.

- There's our way out. - Huh?

Come on, Rico. Use some magic to...

Oh-oh-oh. Okay, okay.

Oh, Barbarian King?

Ha! Told you someone here, daughter.

Princess Maya of the Tecas?

- Barbarian Princess! - Hello, Princess Maya.

Sorry you fell in booby trap puma butt death hole.

Papa!

We apologize for dropping by unannounced,

Your Majesties.

Are these bones made out of clay?

Real bones start to stink after a while.

Do we want this whole place to smell like rotting meat?

- No! - Yes. Huh?

- Daughter, we barbarians. - Hmm.

Barbarians like rotting meat, like blood...

Uh...

What else do we like? Barbarians like to battle!

Papa, I just think there's more to life

than... battle.

You... You take that back!

We're wasting time.

- Daughter! Please. - Come on, Papa.

- We have to finish packing. - Princess hurt king's feelings.

You're free to go, Princess Maya and companions.

Hold on. I have something important to tell you.

The prophecy wasn't about my father and my brothers.

Yeah. That probably why brothers all dead.

- Oh, that's... that's harsh. - Papa, that was savage.

Yes. Barbarian.

I know the truth about the prophecy now.

I am the Great Eagle. And I need your greatest warrior to...

- Why are you packing? - Duh.

- That gods coming to kill us all. - I thought you liked to fight.

Ah, look here. Barbarians no speak good, eh, but we not stupid.

So your entire kingdom is going to die?

It's the only way to survive.

- The mathematics are solid. - It's not the only way.

If you want to fix things, there's a logical solution.

- Let Lord Mictlan sacrifice you. - Boom! Everything fixed!

Uh!

If he sacrifices me, he'll... he'll become even more powerful.

You really want that? He is the god of war.

King love to battle, but a more powerful god of war?

Ooph.

No so good.

I can put a stop to this.

All I need is your greatest warrior,

the fiercest of all the Golden Mountain Barbarians.

- And I have heard that it's you. - Ooh.

Huh?

- What? - Look at you.

Smart and strong.

Oh yeah. You look like you can tear an alpaca in half

with one hand!

Pfft!

"Princess the greatest warrior."

She not even like to battle.

- I don't have time for battle. - Argh!

We got no warrior for you.

- All warriors gone now. - They're not all gone.

They all gone.

- Our greatest warrior is still here. - Don't.

- Don't... - Picchu.

- Picchu? - Picchu already go through enough.

Where can I find this Picchu?

Mmm... Zip it.

On the Cliffs of Regret. There, he fights the mist every day.

Gracias, princesa.

You're welcome, Princess.

Sorry. Sorry. Um, wow.

Um, did you just say he fights the mist?

Yes. Picchu fights the actual mist.

Okay. Like, um... Like... Like, something is in the mist?

I'm just a bit confu... I'm trying to get it.

Maya, maybe... Maybe you can help Picchu.

May the blood of your enemies be milk to your young!

You know what? This is the grossest blessing ever.

Yeah. Barbarians pretty gross, huh?

Sorry, daughter.

- You do not deserve a warrior's death. - Huh?

Hey, you okay?

- Do you think that's him? - I... I... I don't know.

I mean, there's probably so many barbarians out here

fighting the mist.

Hmm.

- Oh, Great Puma Warrior... - Hmm?

...will you join our quest?

Oh, hey! We come in peace.

- Whoa. Magic axes? - I can clip him.

We're not here to fight you, Puma Warrior.

Terebro!

Come on, man. You gotta do better than that. You're embarrassing me.

Okay, all right.

I'll try it.

- Fire and heat mi gente. - Let these axes be caliente.

Dang, hombre, you made of stone?

He's definitely not in a talking mood. Maya?

Eeh!

Uh, a little help here?

Is pale girl a ghost?

Thank you, Chimi.

I had to stop him. He was scaring the spider.

Huh?

Everything okay, little eight legs.

We just want to talk.

Picchu listen.

Please no make Picchu regret not killing you.

Need brave Puma Warrior from Barbarian Kingdom.

Warrior help with Divine Gate.

King and Princess say you greatest warrior.

Big. Strong.

Wow.

- I didn't know you were bilingual. - Teca girl not good at convincing.

We're gonna fight so many gods. They'll try to stop us

from destroying the Divine Gate, but we have to do it to save the world,

and we're probably all gonna die!

Much more convincing.

Push the death angle. Yeah. That's a great selling point.

Picchu and his axes will join quest.

- Really? - Just like that?

Long time now, Picchu and axes wait for noble cause.

But now mist send you to Picchu.

This noble cause Picchu wait for.

Picchu fight by your side,

maybe die honorable warrior death.

Mm-hmm.

See, we were all kind of seeing

the "probably gonna die" part as a negative.

Picchu not fear death.

Because death is beautiful.

Death is beautiful?

Gold has value because it's rare. Life has value because it's short.

Death gives life value.

Bone girl smart. Picchu get ready now.

Um, Maya. Yeah, come here. This guy's nuts! He's nuts!

Like, sure, he has magic axes,

but is he gonna murder us all in our sleep? Hm?

- Wow. - And how do we know for sure

he's really the Puma Warrior?

Your chest, it's...

Impressive.

Mm-hmm. You know, some women like more of a... a narrow, pinched chest.

- Yeah, yeah. Like mine. - I mean, that's what I heard.

That proves it. You really are the Puma Warrior!

My parents are not gonna believe this.

She's done it! She found all three warriors!

Ooh. I'm really craving some goat stew and sweet ants.

Huh? Uh-oh.

We're gonna need a bigger pyramid.

Ah, that... That was a long bath.

Like, really long.

Hmm, seems fine to me.

Me too.

Huh?

I am Maya, princess of the Tecas, Great Eagle from the prophecy.

I'm Chimi.

Uh...

Chimi, cursed Skull Warrior, outcast of the Jungle Lands.

I'm Rico.

Yep. Magic Rooster Wizard of the Luna Island.

Ah!

- You're supposed to just tap it! - Hm.

I am Picchu.

Okay. We go now. Follow Picchu.

Also, uh, tell Picchu which way to go.

We go to Teca to join my parents,

then will we all destroy the Divine Gate together.

That way.

And by that way, I meant that way.

Maya and the Three are ready.

Onward!

Steady.

Picchu, no, no!

- Ah! Huh? - He's with us.

I missed you too.

Whoa!

You know giant cat?

Yes. Chiapa's my friend. He protects me.

Look more like you protect him.

He had a bad time in the last battle.

He's working through some things.

Picchu understand Chiapa.

He's always been brave.

But he shows more bravery than ever now.

Because even though he's afraid, he's brave enough to keep trying.

Rico understand Chiapa.

Man!

What'd I ever do to you? Huh? Giant cats be crazy.

Chimi want to ride Picchu?

Uh, say what now?

Arf?

Uh, like Chiapa.

Oh no. Then... Then what you do, Chimi?

I tried to save my animal family.

So the Jungle King really did take away everything?

And now you just have nothing?

I have the darkness,

the cold, the screaming void of despair.

My sole companion is death.

Well, death and this spider.

Nope, just death.

Oh.

And that's why you wanna meet the goddess of death.

My mother died as I was coming into the world.

The greatest tragedy of my life and hers

was my birth.

I want the goddess of death to introduce me to my mother.

I guess... I just want to apologize to her

for being born.

Ay.

This is the most I've ever talked to anyone in my life. I don't like it.

- How do you do it? - The key is not to listen to yourself.

So, Chimi,

um, at least you have a tree, right?

They left Rico with nothing

just because he made one little mistake as a kid.

I deserve to be left with nothing.

- Huh? - Look, I had nothing

before the Gran Brujo.

Look, he found me. I lived on the streets eating garbage.

My only friend was a dead raccoon.

Made my clothes out of mud, and then the goats, they ate 'em.

Look, I hate goats.

Gran Brujo took me in, gave me food,

a roof over my head.

He believed in me.

Then one day, I...

I killed him with forbidden Peasant Magic.

I'm sorry.

The only thing I had to remember the Gran Brujo by was Estefan.

And now he's broken.

Just like me.

You still have cool hair.

True that.

So, Picchu, fighting the mist, huh?

Oh, what's the deal with that?

Picchu?

You do not deserve a warrior's death.

Are you okay?

Picchu family gone forever,

all because Picchu show mercy.

Now nothing left for Picchu but die warrior death.

Then be with family again.

Oh.

Just wondering, you're not actually planning to get yourself killed, are you?

No. Picchu die warrior death.

Never give up.

Fight till the end.

Maybe live for cause. Maybe die for cause.

Sometimes when you fight, maybe you die.

Die so friends live.

That okay.

Give life value.

Like bone girl say.

No one's going to die.

Maya's right.

Look, we will fight side by side and live to tell about it.

And I'll make the G... Gran Brujo proud.

And I'll get to meet my mother.

And Picchu maybe die a little?

That's my ma...

Ow!

We all have purpose now...

uh, to destroy the Divine Gate, and... and save the world.

Yeah!

Each finger is weak, but together, we shall make a mighty fist of fury.

- Yeah! - Yeah!

It's a mission for us all... n-not just for me.

Yeah?

So, um, so, hey, you know, now that we've heard everyone's totally true story

- where they're not lying except... - Oh, Chiapa.

Chiapa, why don't you tell them about yourself?

The saddest story Picchu ever hear.

That part about the huitlacoche and the two birds was funny though.

- You, noble bones girl. - What did you call me?

What you do good? Maya fight good.

Scrawny boy do magic good, talk too much.

Scrawny? It's Rico, thank you. And you know what? I don't talk too much.

- No... No one's ever... - Giant cat have giant teeth.

What skull girl do good?

- What? - Go stand over there.

Noble bones girl true artista.

Thank you. And if you call me noble again, I'll shoot you in the heart.

Hmm.

Hmm.

But first I need my arrows back.

Oh, oh, oh, right, right.

My brothers, I hope you can hear me.

These warriors, they're my friends, and I... I'm... I lied to them.

And I'm probably leading them to their doom.

But I must avenge you.

Am I... Am I doing the right thing?

Brothers?

- No, Maya. It's me. - You!

How dare you sneak up on me?

Sneak up on you?

I was in front of you. Huh?

Yeah, well, we can't all see in the dark, bat eyes.

Huh. You're pretty good.

Hm. I'm gonna use Eagle Claw to kill you.

Yeah? Well, Crimson Moon won't let you.

Huh?

Why are we fighting?

Because I hate you.

Ooph!

Hi-ya!

Ooph!

And so it ends.

No fair! You have an unfair advantage.

I'm only half god too, Maya.

- My mother was human. - She was?

You and I both bridge the two worlds.

Please, Maya. May I ask you again?

Will you help my father and I destroy Lord Mictlan?

I am the Eagle Warrior of the Teca prophecy.

- I can do it without you. - You can't. You need us.

I have what I need. I have the three prophecy warriors who...

Warriors you have been lying to. Warriors who might pay with their lives.

So what? We're going through that gate.

Together, we will kill Lord Mictlan. And I will have my revenge.

Is that true, Maya?

- You're taking us through the gate. - To kill the god of war?

Greetings, Rico, Chimi, Picchu.

Greetings, spooky weirdo.

Picchu no like one-eye pretty boy.

Too fancy.

Um...

Oh... H-Hey.

Well, you clearly have... ...things to discuss.

I should go. Please, consider my offer, Maya.

I know what you think of the gods, but we're not all monsters.

You know that is exactly what a monster would do, right?

Be well, Princess Maya. I'll see you soon.

Anyway, hi. Are you guys mad?

This whole time, you've been lying to all of us!

Look, you told me we were going to destroy the Divine Gate, not go through it!

Technically, I told Chimi I'd introduce her to the goddess of death.

How else do you think she'd get to meet her?

That's not better.

I opened up to you, and you told me nothing but lies.

This is what I get for ever trusting a human.

Now Picchu know what Teca girl is good at.

Lying.

Okay, yes, I lied. But together, we're invincible.

We're... We're the warriors of the prophecy.

Can't you see that?

Picchu still in for mission.

To fight is a noble cause.

But we not friends.

I'm still in too.

I don't have to like you to fight for my redemption. Liar.

- Do I still meet the goddess of death? - Unfortunately, yeah, I think we're gonna.

Then I'll do it. For me. Not for you, serpent tongue.

That not good.

Oh no! Teca!

My parents!
