[opening theme music]

Got the word to Ponto. He'll do what he can. [gasps]

[distant chanting] Ponto! Ponto! Ponto...

Looks like he's the up-and-coming favorite.

So, why do I feel so creeped out?

You too?

[thunder clap]

Wait...

Wasn't that made from--

Quoba's staff. She left it behind when she went off to study War Botany.

[Darel] It's like, wherever she is, she's not who we remember.

That is not our only problem. Look!

[Dare reads] "Tomorrow in the Pit. Darkan presents Ponto versus Koa?"

[with dread] That could be bad.

This is awful.

[Caz] Oh, it's not so bad.

Ah, forget I said that.

What are you doing here, young Stinger?

I'm trying one more time. To help you.

[calls out] All of you. You don't have to live like this.

There's water where I live. Food. Enough for you all.

[sinister] Yeah, there is food. Plenty of it.

Shall we attack them and take it?

Of course not! Why would you suggest such a thing?

Because that's what Lord Marmoo would have done at your age.

You're related, aren't you?

Yeah, I thought so. But now you let Frogs tell you how to live!

Leave before the Kulipari come looking for you and destroy us.

We've got younglings here.

[angry] Stop it, Caz!

The war for the Amphibilands is over. And we all lost, Scorpion and Frog.

I came here because I too am a Scorpion just like you.

And I can lead you to a better life if you'd all follow me back home.

Are you a Scorpion?

Yes.

I mean, are you really a Scorpion?

I'm not here to fight, Caz.

[mocking] And you say you're a leader.

Then prove it.

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

[punching and fighting noises]

[gleeful laugh] Bunch of idiots! Can you believe that?

Fighting for free! Mercenaries don't do that.

[gasps] You said it.

Then perhaps you would fight for your lives instead!

Oh, no.

[groans of pain]

-[hisses] -No!

What is this?

Something special I saved just for you two mercenaries.

-A Giant Gwardar! -[hisses]

[sigh] This is taking too long!

We have to give Ponto time to make the plan work.

Why? Why don't we just walk into that dungeon,

put an arrow in anything not named Ponto or Koa and go back home?

Because that's not a plan.

[sigh] One way to find out...

[venomously] Sit down, Frog!

Or what?

You'll fall down!

The plan will work. It has to.

[both sigh angrily]

[sound of keys and metal]

[evil chuckling]

[weak] Ugh, snakes.

I hate snakes!

Skink? Nogo?

[Lizard Guard] Get in there, warriors! [laughs]

[guards laugh]

Well, how did you two get here? Where's Killara?

Killara? Hmm... Turned on us. Betrayed us.

Left us here as snake food.

Killara left you both here?

Even for him, that's low.

Oh. You know what they say about Captain Killara

he always has a plan.

For himself.

We all want the same thing. To get out of here.

How do we do that, Frog? Wait for Snorebutt to come rescue us?

[quizzical] Snorebutt?

Never mind. Look around you. There's enough warriors, Kulipari

and Dreamcasters here to overthrow even Darkan's army.

If that's possible, it hasn't happened yet. why?

Because nobody's asked them to.

Until now.

[intoning] Blessed Rainbow Serpent,

please restore these errant younglings to their dark mother.

I pray that your wisdom will guide them to a more peaceful path.

Release them!

I only hope we haven't made even more trouble for someone else.

[people murmuring]

[sniffs]

Been here a month and I'm still not used to this swill.

If you don't want your food, he could use the nourishment.

You broke his shoulder.

[grunts] Sorry about that.

[grumbles]

He harbors no ill will. We are all Darkan's prisoners.

Well, how about you let me help? I'm Kulipari, you know that.

I not only bust shoulders, I can heal them.

You are welcome to try.

But I sense you have more to say?

Just want to talk.

-[whooshing sound] -[groans]

My, uh, associates are doing the same.

Face it, fellow reptiles, most of you are here

because if you don't fight, Darkan will destroy your homes and families.

But look around you, there's power and strength here.

Power and strength we could use to defeat Darkan.

Some of you were mercenaries, you know me

and I'm telling you, the greatest threat to Darkan's rule

is right here in his own dungeon!

If we don't rise up against Darkan, we're gonna destroy each other.

And if that doesn't happen, he'll finish the job!

We have to help each other.

Done. How's that?

[distorted growl]

Fellow prisoners, the only way to protect our homes from Darkan is to be there.

And that means getting out of here. All of us!

Are-- are you talking about a riot?

A prison break?

No. I'm talking about a revolution.

[mumbling and chatter]

[low voice] Looks like the Lizards are with us, Frog-boss.

But how do we handle Daly? She's majorly dangerous.

I can try using my Dreamcasting. I can't beat Daly,

but with the Rainbow Serpent's blessing, I can at least keep her distracted.

[Ponto] Sounds like a plan then.

Next day's tournament, that's when Darkan will be vulnerable.

Of course that brings up the one big problem

with this whole scheme.

And that is?

You may not be around to start it.

Ooh! You may be Kulipari, but Koa's power is...

beyond comprehension.

I heard the word "demigod" tossed around. By Lizards who know stuff.

-[low chatter] -Koa's a prisoner too...

we'll bring him around.

[people chattering]

Good luck.

[viciously] You there! Prisoners! Break up that group. Back to your cells! Now!

If anyone can convince Koa, it's Darel. He has to.

[chanting] Koa! Koa! Koa!

[chanting turns to cheering]

Cardigal! Residents!

I give you a champion!

[spectators cheering]

And a challenger!

[spectators cheering]

And only one them will survive!

[spectators cheering]

[low voice] You think Ponto was able to spread word to the prisoners?

Maybe. Doesn't look like it reached Koa though. I've got to get down there!

Don't be a fool!

Vane's archers will skewer you if they see you venture into the pit.

Yeah. Shame I'm not sitting

next to the most powerful Nightcaster since Jarrah or anything.

And why would I assist you?

Oh, you wanted a distraction. We'll supply one.

Fine! But remember, Marmoo is mine.

Koa, listen! You don't have to do this.

Yes, I do. I'm sorry.

[thrusting grunt]

[loud explosion]

[thunder clap]

OK, that's a new one.

Koa can summon storms?

I am seriously out of my league here.

Wow! Is this all part of being a Kulipari?

I've been Kulipari for years

and I didn't know any of this was possible!

[effort grunts]

Not even my brother can stand against that kind of power!

Maybe I can distract Koa with an arrow, some place.

Koa, no! You don't have to do this!

[profoundly] It has to be one, or Darkan will destroy them all.

[Darel] No, Koa! He won't!

[struggling] Ah!

This should be good!

[battle cry]

[Koa & Ponto] Darel?

[gasps]

Told you I'd be back! I'm the Blue Sky King.

Huh? [furious] Vane! Deal with that interloper!

Ponto! You talked to the other prisoners, are they with us?

If I survive. Honestly, wasn't looking good until you showed up.

That frog, something familiar.

OK, then, Koa! Your family is safe at Nova Australis.

And the prisoners, they want to protect their own families!

[Darel] They'll fight Darkan on their own. They just need to know you're with them!

But how will they escape?

Fahlga's working on that right now.

[roars] Get them!

Agh!

Daly's Nightcasting, crude but potent.

Beating it will be a challenge.

[Allora] Alone, perhaps.

But if your Nightcasting were combined with my Dreamcasting...

Is that even possible?

What better time to find out?

[tense music]

It worked!

All we need is you, Koa. Join us!

Not out of fear, not for survival, but for freedom!

We're all ready to fight if you are Koa. Can you help us?

[self-assured] Oh, I think so!

[cackles] It's the intruder! The one Fahlga called Darel!

Stand still!

[agonized yells]

[gasps]

[Darkan growls furiously]

It's all or nothing.

Now!

[cheering]

Brothers! It's time for revolution!

[cheering]

-[terrified yelling] -[threatening roars]

[spectators chanting]

Guards! Destroy the enemies of Cardigal!

-[Burnu] Hang on! -[gasps]

If that's the theme of this party, I'm joining in!

[Wilka] Kulipariii!

Kulipariii!

[nervous grunt]

[spectators gasp]

All of you? Really?

Darkan's forces would have invaded our homes sooner or later.

We have to stop them now.

And you're willing to risk your lives?

For freedom? For our families? We'd risk everything.

[crowd chanting]

Are you with us?

Has anybody told you what I can do?

I come from water. Water comes from the ground and the sky.

[loud boom]

[terrified yelling]

You Frogs must be stopped!

[bellows] I will stop you all!

[calmly] And these are only found in water.

-[loud explosion] -[spectators gasp]

How many of those can you make?

As many as I want, I think.

Then make as many as you can.

This city was a nightmare, but no longer. Cardigal falls today!

With pleasure.

[all yelling and screaming]

[angry grunting]

[grunting]

Remember Darkan's treasure room?

Race ya there!

Dingo! Now!

[distant yelling and explosions]

Nothing standing between you and opportunity.

Except perhaps my own resolve!

[screams]

[Fahlga pants nervously]

What can I say? This spirit of rebellion is...

[explosion]

...infectious. [satisfied laugh]

[shrieks]

[explosions and screaming]

[distant explosions and screaming]

[ominous music]
