[Jir coughing]

[groaning]

Tastes, ugh,

terrible!

That means it's working.

-Liar. -Looks bad.

I mean, he never looked good, but...

If you had this much toxin in your system, you'd be a puddle of slime on the floor.

OK, OK.

I'm sorry.

Jir's tough and the broth is helping but...

he's not getting better.

We've lost so much the last few years.

Chief Olba, Arabanoo, our home...

And you feel like Jir's all that's left.

Do you think we did the right thing?

If you mean living, yes, I do. I really like still being alive.

No, I mean everything. Following Darel, dropping the veil...

Darel did what he had to. We all did. Without him, we'd probably all be gone.

A lot of us are.

I know. But--

Gee's right. We paid a price,

but we did what needed doing.

Not just for frogs, but for everyone.

Could you say that a little louder?

Not the second part, just the part about me being right.

But let me get everyone in the village, first.

Go away. I need my rest.

I hope Darel's having more luck than we are.

[lizard yelling]

[grunts]

Xava!

-[platypuses screaming] -Run!

Frog! You've had it now!

-[gasps] -Ow.

[clamoring]

Not that way, it's too clear. This way!

[gasps]

Hey! My cooking oil!

[grunts]

[all grunting]

[people screaming]

Hey, it's that troublemaking Frog, like you said.

Yes.

Snorebutt and his friends have surely been livening the place up recently.

Still don't know what they're doing here.

Let's grab him and beat it out of him.

[laughs] I still owe him one.

Oh, I don't think that's necessary, Skink.

-Hmm? -Remember that Snorebutt

had the pearl first.

Obviously, he wants to steal it back.

-Really, Captain? Because he gave-- -Shh. Play along.

He must know that Darkan quite rightly took the pearl from us.

Naturally, we were happy to pay our fine.

But Snorebutt wants the pearl, and he's looking for ways to get it.

Oh, oh, oh...

Darkan's spy will report that to him.

And when we steal the pearl, Darkan will suspect Snorebutt.

That's why you're the Captain.

Hmm... Seems kind of hard on the frog though, not that I mind!

I suspect Snorebutt already has plenty of trouble on his plate.

[panting] This is going to take forever!

Jir doesn't have forever. Keep it moving, Tipi!

Look, more Snake tracks!

Even out here! Probably a bad sign.

Here comes a worse one!

Take cover!

[grunting]

Caz, what are you doing! That area is totally a trap!

Oh, they don't really listen to me. I'm not a Lord.

You! And you! Get out of the open! Move against the cliff for protection!

Do it now!

That's more like it! Now climb!

I have a news of Killara and his mercenaries.

And?

They exposed a scheme to steal the pearl from us!

[growling]

[gasps] From you, my Lord! From you!

My apologies.

Hardly news. I expect Killara to try for the pearl.

But there is someone else, Lord Darkan.

This frog that has been causing such disturbances recently.

[chuckles]

Probably a Killara ploy.

Perhaps, but why take chances?

Slay them all, my Lord.

Killara still amuses me. For now.

Yes, Lord.

And if it gets out of hand, deal with it.

Painfully.

Where are you, croaker?

Surrender now, and I promise to make your evisceration relatively painless.

They're not in here, keep moving! Quickly, we have to find them!

[sniffing]

Yeah, this stinks, Lady Fahlga.

Literally.

What are we doing? I thought you said we were going to rescue Ponto.

I said I was going to show you where he was.

Now, I realize your usual policy is to rush in with no plan

and trust to luck and nerve to succeed.

It defeated you and Marmoo.

But this time we are going to scout ahead,

and then go back to the lair and make a plan.

Heh, assuming you've got a lair left.

Dingo wasn't happy about being left behind.

First, I'll skin them. No, first I'll beat them to a pulp,

then I'll skin them, then I'll beat them up again!

This way.

Why do we have to wear these cloaks?

You two have attracted too much attention in those trinkets you were wearing.

Hooded cloaks cover better. Those are my order's sacred garments.

So, why are they crusty?

-We bury our priestesses in them. -[exclaims]

You're free to take them off, but Vane and his Guard are still looking for you.

Your choice.

You want to tell us where we're going?

If you're not going to trust us, then we have no reason to trust you.

Then rescue your friend on your own.

The difference between us is that you need me.

Trust is irrelevant.

You need us too. You said so.

No, I said I need some stupid. Stupid enough to make a lot of noise.

First, we go in there.

[didgeridoo playing tune]

[sighing] I'm surprised the guards let him have that didgeridoo.

Nothing they can do. When he wants it, it appears.

[mystical music]

[cackling]

Hello, Koa.

Sergu! I wish I could have met you in the real world.

And I you.

But even beyond life, the Dreamworld connects us.

How are you holding up?

The dungeon doesn't bother me. It's Darkan.

He's starting the tournament tomorrow and I'm sure he will force me to fight.

Ah, and that is not something you want to do.

But if I don't, he'll attack my friends at the reef.

I'm not worried for myself, but I can't protect them all.

Well then, perhaps you should seek the help of others.

Others who even now, are seeking you.

Others who... [groaning]

Others who are not so foolish.

Queen Jarrah. You already hold my body prisoner.

Now you invade my Dreamworld?

I do not wish to imprison you, Koa.

I wish to release you.

You have Nightcaster powers. I can assist you in unleashing them.

You could save the ones you love and unite the lands once and for all.

[gasps]

Welcome back, Koa.

Koa?

You think he wants to talk to you? He doesn't want to talk to anyone.

When he goes to the Dreamworld, he's caught between two powerful forces.

It's a lot for a mind as young as his.

Old Jir told us that he was the key to saving the land.

Yes, from himself.

What? What do you mean?

Koa can do things none of us can.

That's the second time I've heard that. And no one has told me what he can do.

When it's time, just about anything he wants.

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

Oh, hey! The bars!

Hold on.

There's no magic on them. Daly's magic, it's not there!

[chuckles] Good news!

No, bad news.

Oh, do you turtles just have a thing for bad news?

All right you worms, snap to! My Lord Darkan approaches.

And he wants to see you.

Good, 'cause I've been waiting for this.

[gasps]

Oh, you'll be sorry you did that.

[grunts]

-Come on Koa, we're getting out of here. -I can't! He'll hurt everyone!

Oh, fine. I'll be back for you.

Ah.

[gasps]

[growls]

[groans]

[roaring and grunting]

[chuckling]

[grunts]

[growls]

You think you're special, do you?

Your eyes! You're...

Kulipari. Always have been.

I've known poison since before you grew legs.

[grunts]

-[groans] -[growls]

[groaning]

If you don't finish me now, you'll regret it.

Don't lose that spirit. You're going to need it.

In my tournament!

[all exclaiming]

Oh, for-- Hey, you two, get over here and take cover!

Nobody falls today!

The way those shellheads behave,

it's a wonder there are any Scorpions left in the outback.

Actually...

You mean... you three are it?

Well, there may be others but... [chuckles]

...it's not easy to get Scorpions to do what's good for them.

Tell me about it!

Hey!

We need a Lord. Someone to give us direction.

To give us a sense of duty.

Without that, we wander around like so many ants.

What kind of duty?

If I knew that, I'd be a Lord, wouldn't I? [chuckles]

Ah, there's where the Bunyip grows.

Wha-- A flower grows there?

As I said, the Bunyip needs heat to bloom.

The more intense the flame, the more potent the flower.

And you know this how?

Ha. We scorpions wandered the outback for years.

We know all the plants and their uses. It's how we've survived.

[gasp] Speaking of survival...

how are we supposed to survive this?

Only one answer,

we do it together.

Well spoken, young Stinger.

And down there is what we've been seeking,

the Bunyip.

[gasps] That's practically to the lava!

And there's no handholds!

I have this doomed feeling.

Stinger, you've got a plan, right?

I've got something even better. A Kulipari who throws spikes.

[grunts]

[grunts]

That should do it!

Can you throw any from that ledge to the flower?

[grunts]

[Tipi gasps] Too hot!

-I'm surprised the flower doesn't burn. -It must be almost pure mineral crystals.

Whatever it's made of, it's what we need for Jir. Come on!

If you come down here, well, I bet you'll smell just delicious,

but you won't survive! Even Thuma's not fireproof!

It's hotter than a cookpot down here!

What about you?

Scorpion carapace! It's not comfortable, but we can take it for a few minutes!

OK, here's the plan.

[grunting]

I can't reach it.

Didn't expect you to. I've got this!

Almost there.

Almost got it!

[gasps]

[screaming]

-[explosion booming] -[screaming]

-No! -Stinger!

Ah! This is warm! Really warm! And about to get hot!

[grunt]

He sacrificed himself to save me.

He did what he considered his duty, as a scorpion.

[sighs] Are you all right?

I don't know about all right, Thuma, but we were successful.

You're village is just over the next hill. Good luck!

The Bunyip will help Coorah treat Jir, Caz.

-And for that, we thank you. -I'll even pass on beating you up.

Caz, seriously. Don't leave.

The village has room for a few more scorpions.

Fresh food, fresh water...

Ah, it's not the scorpion life.

Better to stay in the outback, seeking our path.

Seeking a new Scorpion Lord.

But you won't survive!

Maybe. But while we live, we live as scorpions.

And there is nothing greater.

Perhaps today you had a chance to realize that, eh, Stinger?

Come on, let's get that flower to Jir.
