What? What is it? Did you find something?
Eugene
(panting) More like... someone.
Alfons! Where have you been?
Eugene
I found him locked up!
AAlfons
Yes! It was awful! The mustached frienfloofer. He did this!
AAlfons
Oh, yeah. Follow me. I will explain everything. The mustached frienfloofer came for this. The Fountain of Anbietengenpfeifen. It was enchanted by the Lorb Warlock, Horb, to grant wishes.
So that's how four-year-old Cass got here. He wished for her!
AAlfons
I first suspected the mustached frienfloofer's intentions when I found him digging in search of the fountain's magical coin. I tried to warn him, but he didn't listen, and locked me up!
Eugene
Warn him of what?
AAlfons
You know firsthand of the wickedness behind the Lorb magic. The fountain gives you what you want. At first.
At first? Oh, let me guess. Then the wickedness comes in.
AAlfons
Yes. Unless the wisher, takes his wish back, the fountain takes even the purest of wishes, and twists them into the darkest nightmares at sunset on the ninth day.
When did he make the wish? Oh. Nine days ago. (Pascal squeaks softly)
Eugene
Of course. (Pascal squeaks again)
Daddy, what are we doing? Why are we here?
I'm sorry, Cassandra. I'm so sorry. (swords clinkling)
Eugene
(appears at The Fountain of Anbietengenpfeifen and tells the Captain of the Guards after being cornered by two fake copies of Cassandra) You gotta take the coin out, Cap. We can't do it for you. (going back to fight the fake copies of Cassandra)
You mean, you're going to leave me?
No. I'll never leave you. The real you. From now on. I'll always be with you. (about to remove the coin from The Fountain of Anbietengenpfeifen to take the wish back) (water lapping)
No, Daddy. Please don't. Please! (doesn't want the Captain of the Guards to undo the wish) (Rapunzel continues to fight the fake copies of Cassandra) (sword scraping) (Rapunzel fights the Black Rock copy of Cassandra and they lunge at each other) (exploding) (Rapunzel and the Black Rock copy of Cassandra land on their feet but Rapunzel feels weak then Eugene comes to help Rapunzel to stand up) (sword clinks) (the fake copies of Cassandra surround Rapunzel, Eugene, Owl, Pascal and Alfons)
Okay, Eugene. You take the hundred on the right. I'll take the hundred on the left. (fake copies of Cassandra laughing evilly and they coming closer to attack Rapunzel and Eugene but the copies of Cassandra disappear) (Owl hooting) (the Captain of the Guards is revealed to take the coin from The Fountain of Anbietengenpfeifen and tossing it to the ground)
Let's go get my daughter back. Sorry for all the trouble. (Rapunzel, Eugene and the Captain of the Guard are going back to Corona via the hot air balloon) (Captain of the Guards apologizing to Alfons when the former is holding the latter's hand before letting go)
AAlfons
Eh, say no more. This island seems to have that effect on frienfloofers. Huh. (Eugene starts the hot air balloon)
I won't give up until we do.
AAlfons
We'll miss you, mustached frienfloofer! (he and the Lorbs wave goodbye to Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Owl and the Captain of the Guards) And you, too, wild frienfloofer!
Eugene
It's good to have you back, Cap.
It truly is. Let's go home. (flying back to Corona via hot air balloon alongside Pascal, Eugene and Captain of the Guards) (Owl hoots when he also files back to Corona)
Eugene
(looks at the ring then closes the box) Okay, Fitzherbert. Is today the day?
(gruff voice singing): I'm gonna be the girl who has everything.
Eugene
(clears throat) Uh, hey, Mrs. Crowley. You seem like a passionate soul well-versed in a delicate inner workings of the human heart.
Eugene
Right. So let me ask you. Do you think now it's the right time to propose?
Eugene
The feeling's mutual.
(Angry and Red giggling) Everything is looking so great, you guys. Oh, Eugene's surprise birthday party is going to be amazing.
Eugene
What's going to be amazing? (asks Rapunzel and she won't let him enter the throne room)
What! Nothing. Nothing is amazing. (laughs) Why... Why do you think that anything is amazing?
Eugene
Hey, are you planning a party?
No! I... I mean, yes, but it is not for you. It's for my... parents! It's their anniversary.
Eugene
But their anniversary was six months ago.
Uh, no, it's six months from now. That's what makes it a surprise.
Eugene
Great! So put me to work!
No! You can't come in. I have a list of very important things I need for the party. Lance! (Lance yelling) (Rapunzel whispering): Go with Eugene... Make sure he's gone long enough. (hands Lance a list) And get everything that's on the list of very important things.
What? Oh. Oh. Right. Right! Right. Eugene, come with me.
Eugene
I honestly think I'd be more-
Okay, bye. Bye. (closes the door)
Eugene
Will you stop pushing me? (Rapunzel sighs)
What's wrong, dear? You seem nervous.
(sighs) No, I'm just... I'm worried that Eugene suspects something is up.
Relax, princess, he doesn't suspect a thing. How could he? He has no idea that today is his real birthday. I've even avoided thinking it around him. Now, high five Frederic to show camaraderie. (Hamuel squawks) (Hamuel caws)
Ha, you're right. This is gonna be the best surprise first birthday ever! And that's not all. Come on, Pascal. (she pick him up and leaves with him and enters the former's room)
I can't give Cassandra the scroll.
Eugene
Hey, I agree. On the one hand, if she gets the scroll, it could be the end of the world. On the other hand, she did say we would never see her again, so, you know, pretty big upside.
Who knows what she's been doing since she disappeared?
Probably practicing betrayal. Thinking a lot about doing harm.
Reading a lot about doing harm. (Eugene stops the globe from spinning by Kiera and Catalina)
Eugene
So, Cass gets the scroll, total destruction of us. Got it. So, we should hide it, yes? Where is it?
That's the other downside. (chuckling nervously) I don't have it.
Eugene
If you don't have it, well, then who do have it?
The results are in. Who will win first prize for best metal? Will it be steel for its durabilty and themal conductivity or iron for its lustrous shine in high melting point? (Ruddiger is wearing goggles and gloves while making hot cocoa with a marshmallow for Varian) Brrr, pow! Ah, yes! (stops judging the competition of steel and iron then he walks to his pet) (Ruddiger jumps off the table and gives Varian hot cocoa) Thank you, Ruddiger. (takes the hot beverage from his pet) This is perfect. (laughs menacingly) Warm cocoa will really hit the spot. Thanks, bud. (drinks the hot cocoa then does a spit take)
Hi, Varian. (greets Varian when she enters the Demanitus Chamber alongside Eugene, Pascal, Lance and Maximus)
Whoa! (screams) Hi! Hi. (turns around and takes off his goggles off his eyes to greet Rapunzel when she, Eugene, Lance and Maximus walk down the stairs) (Ruddiger cleans his own goggles) I, uh, wasn't, uh, expecting you so soon. (points to Rapunzel while putting the beaker on the desk) I mean, we did agree that I'd need at least five weeks of solitude to decipher this thing so I thought I had some some privacy. (feels shy)
Varian, don't be embarrassed. (Eugene walks backwards to Varian and puts his hands on the latter) (Eugene walks back to Varian's alchemies alongside Lance and Maximus)
Eugene
Hey, Goggles, real quick. Do you have any anti-aging alchemies, maybe some skin-tightening serum? (Ruddiger cleans his eyes when he removes his gloves and goggles after Varian spits on his pet's goggles) (Eugene holds one of the alchemies but it exploded onto his face) (gasps) (sees himself with gray hair, gray eyebrows, gray age spots, gray eyelashes, a gray goatee and wrinkly skin) I'm getting older by the second. (Lance and Maximus laughing at Eugene) (Ruddiger is also laughing at Eugene)
Hey! Gah! Ah! Please be careful, that stuff is very delicate. (tells Eugene)
Oh, thank goodness. (notices that Varian kept the scroll) You have the Scroll.
I do. Oh, I do and it took awhile, but I was able to use this key to translate the text in its entirety. (touch the notes of the scroll on the wall) (looks at the scroll with Rapunzel and Pascal)
Varian, you're a genius! (walks over to Varian and the scroll) (Varian turns around towards Rapunzel when the latter called the former a genius) What's it say? (asks Varian)
(points to the three incantations) This is the healing incantation, this is the decay incantation, and this is a third incantation! (silently taps the black rock incantation) It will allow whoever possesses the Moonstone to wield complete control over the black rocks. (tells Rapunzel)
That's why Cassandra wants the Scroll. (remembers what Cassandra said at the throne room)
Yes, yes, but there's more! (puts his hands on Rapunzel when he agrees but he discovered a hidden incantation) I found there are four incantations, not three! But I can't seem to find it anywhere on the Scroll. (takes the scroll from the wall)
Uh, guys, you might wanna stop talking about... (coughs) the secret of the Scroll. (tells Varian and Rapunzel) (Lance points that Cassandra followed him, Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal and Maximus to the Demanitus Chamber) (Varian and Rapunzel turn around) (Varian, Ruddiger, Rapunzel, Pascal, Eugene, Lance and Maximus are shocked to see Cassandra on the stairs) (Rapunzel gasps)
Don't stop on my account. (tells Varian and Rapunzel to keep talking about the scroll)
Cass! (Varian is happy to see Cassandra)
Varian, don't get any closer. (Rapunzel doesn't want Varian to go near Cassandra) (Rapunzel also wants Varian to hide the scroll from Cassandra) Hide the scroll! We can't let her get her hands on that incantation!
The-the scroll is worthless without the translation key. (reveals that translation key is needed to read the scroll)
Well, it sounds like I need two things. (notices that she needs the translation key and the scroll)
Eugene
Get that scroll out of here. (going to fight Cassandra) Blondie, I got this. (grunting) Her armor is made of the ro... (Eugene's sword breaks after noticing what her armor is made of then Cassandra kicks Eugene away then he lands on top of Lance and Maximus) (screams, groans) (Cassandra sees the boulder behind her as she grunts when she slices of the top of the Demanitus Device then it rolls down the stairs to chase Eugene, Lance and Maximus) (Maximus neighs) (Varian is in the path of the boulder but Rapunzel pulls out him of the way) (Maximus put Eugene and Lance on his back) (Maximus neighs) (Eugene yells) (Lance grunts) (Maximus is on the boulder of the Demanitus Device that Cassandra sliced off but Eugene and Maximus suddenly flies backwards after the boulder is destroyed)
Eugene
Aah! (when he sees the bottom while holding onto Maximus) (Maximus neighs and he is about to slip then Lance gasps when he runs to the edge and tries to pull Maximus and Eugene up)
Give me that scroll, Rapunzel! (wants her former friend to give her the scroll after she walks down the stairs then lunges at Rapunzel but she is protecting herself and Varian)
Cass, let's just talk. (tries to reason with Cassandra)
Oh, sure! Let's have another chat about how my mother chose you over me!
Cass, Gothel took me and held me against my will. It wasn't my decision, Cassandra. You know that.
Well, was it your decision to push her out a window? (Cassandra and Rapunzel grunt)
(gasps) Ugh, you weren't there. (she and Varian back away from Cassandra) You have no idea.
Then why don't you make me understand! (Ruddiger screeching at Cassandra as he takes the scroll from Varian which makes Rapunzel and Varian proud of Ruddiger) (she groans) Get off! (Rapunzel uses her hair to trip Cassandra) (Pascal jumps on Rapunzel's hair while Varian sees) (Ruddiger runs but Cassandra grabs his tail while Pascal leaps on her head) (Pascal blows raspberry at Cassandra and he takes the scroll which makes Ruddiger glad) Pascal runs with Ruddiger but Cassandra runs after Pascal and Ruddiger) (Rapunzel and Cassandra grunting but the latter frees her leg from Rapunzel's hair) (Cassandra grabs her sword and runs after Pascal) (Ruddiger jumps on Lance and helps him pull Maximus and Eugene) (sees an apple falling out of Maximus' saddle then Ruddiger takes an apple from Maximus' saddle and it annoys Maximus) (Lance tries to pull Maximus and Eugene but former is slipping while trying to hold Max's hoof) (Pascal squeaks while trying to hang on to the scroll but Cassandra runs to Pascal and throws the sword at Pascal) (Pascal stops holding the scroll then he uses his tongue to hang on to a boulder) (Cassandra is about to grab the scroll but Rapunzel takes it)
We have to figure out what Cassandra is planning to do with Varian and the Scroll. We're not just gonna sit by and let her ruin Eugene's birthday... anything else. (opens her bag and inside of it reveals the small box with the ring) Right? (asks Lance, Kiera, Catalina and Eugene but the four of them have their spirits broken)
Eugene
Sure. Just... give me a minute.
Seriously, guys? Cass has Varian. Not to mention an incantion that can control the rocks. We have to stop her.
Uh, Princess? Were you in the same fight as us? We don't stand a chance against Cass and that unbreakable armor.
Eugene
Oh, come on, Lance, she wasn't that bad.
Oh, I'm sorry. What were you doing during that fight? There was a large boulder and you were... (Pascal climbs to the top of the globe and imitates Eugene was doing at the fight) (laughing) Yeah, yeah, like that. Okay, okay. He's getting offended. (Lance notices Eugene is mad so the former stops the globe from spinning and Pascal is thrown off)
Eugene
What are you laughing about? You were right there with me.
No, no, no, no, no. You're remembering it all wrong. You know, they say memory is one of the first things to go with age.
Eugene
Are we finished?
Listen, I know Cassandra's dangerous but we cannot forget she's also our friend.
Eugene
Fine, there's only one big problem. We don't know where she is. (Maximus neighs)
I think we know where to look.
Whoa. (she, Catalina, Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal and Lance see the stronghold is much higher than the castle while Maximus searches for entrances) (she and Catalina are amazed to see the stronghold)
It's taller than the castle. (she, Kiera, Rapunzel, Eugene and Lance walk towards the stronghold)
Cass is sending me a message. (picks up part of her mural) She wants me to know that everything that once was mine will belong to her.
The only message it's sending me is "good luck climbing this". (Maximus neighs when he returns to Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Kiera, Catalina and Lance)
No entrances at the bottom, Max? (Maximus neighs) That's the closest entrance, huh?
How are we supposed to get all the way up there? (Rapunzel turns around and tells him and Eugene)
We get up there by... a lot of climbing. (Lance and Eugene are terrified then Lance walks backwards but Eugene grabs him by the back of his shirt to drag him) That's the spirit. (Lance and Eugene try to climb the stronghold The Emperor's New Groove style but failed to reach the top of it)
(strained): You want to climb like this the whole way?
Eugene
(strained: Back in my day, towers were much shorter. (Lance and Eugene grunt as they fall off from both sides of the stronghold)
(uses his knife to take sap from the branch) I got a better idea. (laughs) (slathers sap to the stronghold) We'll use this sap to climb the tower. See? No slipping. (he, Rapunzel and Eugene are stuck on sap)
Uh, Lance... I can't move.
Look, no hands. (Catalina laughs) (Kiera and Catalina are on the opposite sides of Maximus) (Maximus and Pascal are going to launch Rapunzel, Lance and Eugene into the stronghold)
Eugene
Eh, once you've been catapulted a few times it's not so bad.
Don't worry, Lance, it'll be all over soon. Um, the catapulting, I mean. (chuckling) Not your life.
(Lance screams) Too high!
Eugene
Look at you go, Lance, you're a natural.
We're gonna make it! (Lance screaming) (Rapunzel, Lance and Eugene failed to enter the stronghold but they landed to a net) (Rapunzel grunt, sighs) Anybody else got an idea?
Eugene
This is quite literally the same exact plan. (Lance, Rapunzel and Eugene screaming)
(laughing) Oh, I could watch them do this all day. (amused by the way Rapunzel, Eugene and Lance's failed attempt to reach the stronghold)
Let them in. (tells Cassandra to open the stronghold)
Defeating her isn't enough. You must take away who she is. Force her to fight you. Break her spirit. You've held back long enough. Let her in and finish this now.
(sighs) Fine. (leaves to let Rapunzel, Pascal, Eugene, Lance, Kiera, Catalina and Maximus inside the stronghold)
I'm telling you the sap thing will work. We just have to try a different trick.
Come on, Cassandra. Just let me in. (enters the stronghold alongside Pascal, Eugene, Lance, Kiera, Catalina and Maximus)
It's your birthday Eugene, so you get to decide which path to take. We're celebrating and adventuring. It's a... celebrenture!
Eugene
All right, here we go. Onesie, twosie, redsie, bluesie, this one. Blondie, you and I are gonna go this way. (points to the right tunnel and leaves with Rapunzel)
And the cool kids will take this tunnel. Come on girls, you too, Max. (goes to the left tunnel with Kiera, Catalina and Maximus)
(realizes that Pascal didn't return) This is taking too long. I'm going up there.
Eugene
Rapunzel, wait! What if you can't convince her to come back? What if the only what is to...
This is Cassandra. Not some monster. She'll come around. I have to believe that.
Eugene
And if you believe it, then so do I.
(sighs) Pascal? Come out, buddy? (Eugene walks to another path to find Varian)
Eugene
Blondie. I found Varian. (Rapunzel walks over to Eugene and he points outside where Varian is trapped inside a cage then Rapunzel and Eugene see Varian trapped inside the cage)
Don't worry, Varian. We're gonna get you out of there.
Not now. I found the last incantation. It was hidden with a photoreactive ink. Obvious, right? (snorts)
Eugene
Yeah, super obvious.
The problem is I need a concentrated beam of sunlight to see it. I tried using my goggles, but they're too scratched up. (picks up his goggles and cleans it then puts it down) I need something else, like a, uh, prism or a glass.
Or... a crystal? (takes Eugene's ring from her bag and shows it to him)
Eugene
Is that a..
Eugene
For me? You were going to ask me? I mean, I was going to ask you. All this time and you stll find ways to surprise me. (heavy rattling) (Eugene shivers when he tries to keep the ring from falling out of his hands)
Ugh, she must know we're here. Okay, get-get the ring to Varian. I'm gonna find Pascal. (about to leave but Eugene grabs her arm and turns her face around)
Eugene
Be careful. (Rapunzel smiles at Eugene before the former leaves to find Pascal) (Eugene walks to the edge of the stronghold where Varian is held captive) (rattles)
Pascal? Are you here? (rattling)
(enters the throne room with the caged Pascal) Yeah, he's here. (frees him from the cage and he runs back to Rapunzel) (Pascal happy squeaks) (Rapunzel is happy to see Pascal again then she picks him up when she bends on her knees and puts him on her shoulder) You made a mistake coming here. (walks on the black rock steps)
Cass, I am not leaving this tower until this is resolved. (Cassandra closes the entrances with her, Rapunzel and Pascal trapped inside while Eugene and Varian are outside)
Then I guess you're not leaving. You do realize I have complete control over the rocks now, and you know what this tower is made of. (Rapunzel scoffs) (Pascal chitters)
Show her how powerful you have become. (tells Cassandra)
I'm not going to fight you.
Then this will be very easy.
Cass, don't! (Cassandra makes a monument black rock under Rapunzel's feet and raises it up to another pillar to crush Rapunzel and Pascal) (Rapunzel revealed that she protected Pascal and herself with her hair from being crushed by black rocks) Maybe it won't be as easy as you think!
Now, that's more like it. But there are some things your hair can't block. (Rapunzel screaming when she and Pascal fell outside of the stronghold then she climbs back into the tower)
Eugene
(Eugene grunts while he tries to walk on the black rock but he hangs on to it) Man, I really hate birthdays.
(sees the sun about to set soon) Hurry, the sun is setting. Eugene, come on!
Eugene
I'm going as fast as I can, kid, without dying. (walks over to Varian to give the ring to him but it slipped)
Eugene
Whoa. (Varian grunts) (Eugene is about to give Varian the ring but the former slips while trying to catch it) First memory, and now balance? Age. Why do we have to age? (Varian revealed to Eugene that the former caught the ring) Nice snag!
(takes out the scroll to reveal the hidden words while using the ring) It's working.
Eugene
Way to go, kid.
(screams while Eugene tries to blow the fire out) No! No, no, no, no! (takes a pen and a parchment paper to write the hidden incantation while Eugene blows on the scroll before it is destroyed and Varian is letting go of it) (screams, sighs) Uh... I got it! Whew. (chuckles in relief)
Eugene
I certainly hope so, because that thing was not easy to come by. Now, can you figure out a way to get through these bars? And how do you get back into the building? (asks Varian) Because, I got nothing.
(grunts in effort while climbing back into the stronghold) (sighs) Sorry, Cass, but you are not going to get rid of me that easily. (Rapunzel groans) (grunts) Cass, please! This is not who you are.
Wrong! I finally know who I am. (Rapunzel runs while Cassandra controls rocks to stop the former from running)
(grunts) Aah! I will never stop trying to get through to you! (pinned to the wall) (the Enchanted Girl is proud of Cassandra for pinning Rapunzel to the wall) I won't fight you, I won't justify your hatred, and there's nothing you can do to change that. Nothing!
(laughs) Oh, there isn't? 'Cause I kinda think there is. (Varian and Eugene are bored)
Eugene
(Cassandra drags him and Varian back into the stronghold when Rapunzel refused to fight) (rattling) Bad. This is bad.
Uh-oh. Eugene? (Eugene puts his hand out to Varian and the latter sees and holds the former's hand when the latter is scared)
Eugene
Stay close, kid. (he protects a scared Varian when the both of them are being dragged back into the stronghold by Cassandra when Rapunzel refused to fight)
Eugene
Well, Blondie, one of these days we'll get this whole proposal thing right, huh?
Hmm. I just... (sighs) I thought I could have everything, but after today... I'm not sure it's gonna be that easy. (looks at the ring then Eugene holds Rapunzel's hands) (Rapunzel leans forward for a kiss from Eugene then they hug)
Oh, there you are. (sees that Eugene is inside Rapunzel's room) Looks like someone forgot to eat... their birthday cake (opens the door and brings the cart inside with Kiera, Catalina and Maximus are behind him then Eugene and Rapunzel stand)
Eugene
You know, I've been thinking. Getting old won't be so bad as long as I get to do it with you.
Happy first birthday, Eugene. Make a wish. (Lance walks inside Rapunzel's room alongside Kiera, Catalina, Varian and Maximus to celebrate Eugene's birthday with Rapunzel and Eugene then Lance brings the cart to Eugene so the latter can blow out the candles)
