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)
LanceYeah, I don't know.
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.
Lance
Uh, Princess? Were you in the same fight as us? We don't stand a chance against Cass and that unbreakable armor.
Oh, come on, Lance, she wasn't that bad.
Lance
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)
What are you laughing about? You were right there with me.
Lance
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.
Listen, I know Cassandra's dangerous but we cannot forget she's also our friend.
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.
Lance
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?
Lance
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)
Lance
(strained): You want to climb like this the whole way?
(strained: Back in my day, towers were much shorter. (Lance and Eugene grunt as they fall off from both sides of the stronghold)
Lance
(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)
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
(Lance screams) Too high!
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?
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)
Lance
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)
Lance
Which way do we go?
It's your birthday Eugene, so you get to decide which path to take. We're celebrating and adventuring. It's a... celebrenture!
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)
Lance
And the cool kids will take this tunnel. Come on girls, you too, Max. (goes to the left tunnel with Kiera, Catalina and Maximus)
Lance
So, you see, young ladies. The seasoned chef inherently knows his way around unfamiliar places. It's a keen sense one develops after years of studying one's craft and--
And we're back at the entrance.
Lance
Now, we've refamiliarized ourselves with the correct entrance, we can proceed with the correct route (Lance sighs and points to the wrong direction then he points to the right direction) (Kiera, Catalina and Maximus are annoyed with Lance after the four of them went back to the entrance) (We can proceed to the correct route. (Pascal arrived at the throne room and sees that Cassandra is nowhere to be found then he goes around the room when the coast is clear but Cassandra enters the room) (Pascal sees Cassandra but he turns invisible while she goes to her throne) (Pascal squeaks while he is invisible so Cassandra can't see him then he stops hiding from her and he uses his tongue slide across to the rocks but he continues to hide from her) (Cassandra goes to the black rock where Pascal is hiding and she removes the black rock then he waves to her before she captures him) (Pascal quiet squeak)
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)
Lance
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)
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)
GCaptain of the Guard
King Frederic, Queen Arianna. As the Captain of the Corona Royal Guard, I have sworn to defend this kingdom against all who threaten it. But as a father, I cannot face my daughter in battle. (takes his helmet off and bow) And so it is with a heavy heart that I retire from my post. (Rapunzel, Eugene, Lance, Maximus, Attila, Vladimir and Ulf gasp) (Pete sighs and fainted then Stan holds him)
Captain, you have served Corona with dignity and pride for so many years. Thank you.
And we respect your decision.
GCaptain of the Guard
As for my replacement, it was a very difficult decision. There are so many qualified guards.
Can we get some water over here?
Lance
Have any of these guards ever successfully guarded anything?
GCaptain of the Guard
My replacement has put his life on the line for Corona countless times, and so it is with utmost confidence that I recommend Eugene Fitzherbert.
(spit take) Wha-- (shocked)
Lance
(laughs) Captain Fitzherbert. I like the sound of that. Yeah, buddy, I have a few outstanding citations, so if those could somehow, you know, disappear? (chuckles)
GCaptain of the Guard
What do you say, Fitzherbert?
Ladies and gents. I give you the roo-- (annoyed when Eugene interrupted him presenting a new invention)
I-- I just can't believe how much this guy looks like me. (Max, Varian, Kiera and Catalina are mad at Eugene for interrupting a presentation of a new invention) And he's using my moniker--
(clearing throat) I'll wait. (Max neighs) (Max, Eugene, Rapunzel, Pascal, Kiera, Lance and Catalina turn around) (Eugene puts a wanted poster behind his back)
Oh. Ahem. Sorry. (apologizes to Varian for interrupting)
Thank you. I'll start again. I give you... (jumps off the crate) The Rooster. (pulls the rope to reveal a new invention) Or at least, it will be once we put it together.
It doesn't look like a rooster. (tells Varian)
Uh, it's an early warning system. (walks on crate and to the floor) If Cassandra or any other danger threatens the kingdom, this will fire a glowing mortar into the air and alert everyone in Corona. (points to his invention when telling Max, Rapunzel, Kiera, Lance and Catalina)
Great idea. (tells Varian and she puts her hand on him when she and Varian look and smile at each other) Right, Eugene? Eugene? (she, Varian, Max, Kiera, Lance and Catalina turn around to see Eugene) (Max whinnies)
Sorry, it's just cheekbones like these, they don't come around twice in a generation, they don't.
Eugene, this is more important than some fake Flynn Rider.
Rapunzel, he stole the crown. I mean, only I could get away with that. Look, Flynn Rider has reputation. I refuse to have it tarnished by some hack impostor. I am going after him.
Well, then I'm going with you. (tells Eugene) (turns around)
Uh, uh, hate to nag, but who's gonna oversee The Rooster's installation? All military grade applications require supervision by the Captain himself. (sees Lance putting his finger on The Rooster) Gah! Don't touch that! (pushes Lance's finger away from the invention when mad)
Lance, you're acting Captain of the Guard until I get back. (Rapunzel, Pascal, Varian, Kiera, Lance and Catalina see Eugene walking away)
Lance
Sweet. A promotion.
Uh, tut-tut-tut. It's temporary. (walks alongside Max to follow Eugene) (tells Lance that he has a nonpermanent job)
Lance
Sweet. A temporary promotion.
Lance
Hmm. I don't think that's enough. (tells Varian after putting a tiny drop of Flynnoelum into the Rooster)
Okay. With all due respect, I'm the alchemist. (puts goggles on his head then turns around to tell Lance) Flynnoelum is very powerful. Add
Lance
I am the alchemist. (mocks Varian) Well, I'm the guy wearing the Captain's uniform. (picks up the syringe) And I don't think it's enough. (Kiera and Catalina walk to Lance) Do you? (asks Kiera and Catalina)
(laughs) Nope. (she and Catalina see each other) (Lance toss the syringe to the floor then picks up the barrel of Flynnoelum and pours it into the Rooster while Varian is away) (syringe thuds on the floor)
(groans) (the cell door slams)
You know, Lance... it's hard to admit this, but they wanted to make me The Captain, I was scared. (he and Lance stop walking while the former talks to the latter about his new job) If I can just open up for a moment. (muffled dialogue) That's when I realize if they believe in me, well, darn it, it's okay for me to believe in me too. And I... (muffled dialogue) ... to accept the position of Captain of the Guard. (chuckles) (hugs Lance) Oh! Why, that feels good to get off my chest. Thanks for listening, buddy. (he and Lance walk to the door) Say, where did you get those medals, by the way? (opens the door while asking Lance)
Lance
(shouts) What? What was that? Eugene! Check out the medals! (Eugene is annoyed then holds Lance to push him and they leave the dungeon) (Eugene closes the door)
MMary
Quick, everyone to the Castle! We'll be safe there! (she, Lance, Feldspar and the citizens of Corona are running to the castle)
Sorry, but the Castle's off limits!(takes the magical Mind Trap from her bag and calls upon a mind-controlled Adira and Hector to barricade the castle's entrance)
Lance
Adira! Adira, it's me, Lance. What's wrong? Why is love so fickle?
Be careful Lance, it looks like she and Hector are under the influence of the Mind-Trap Talisman!
Lance
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't wanna fight you! We have to fall back.
Son, you cannot save a kingdom by being trapped inside it.
Everyone, fall back! (he and Varian are dodging the black rocks)(then he sees that Pete is trapped inside a net and Stan tries to take the net off his partner) (sees Mary worried about Shorty while a guard is running) (a woman, an elderly man, Monty, two guards and Feldspar are running to the forest) (Cassandra is attacking Varian and Eugene but they are dodging the black rocks to run to the forest)
There's got to be a way to fix all, Pascal. But how? (Pascal squeaks)
Did I ever tell you about the biggest fight your aunt and I ever had? we were just teenagers, but Wllow was so mad, she actually built a brick wall in the middle of our bedroom.
I'm not kidding. Your grandfather nearly lost his mind. I tried talking to her through the wall, slipping notes between its cracks, but she refused to talk to me.
(chuckles) What did you wind up doing?
I got a hammer and I knocked that wall down. But after that, Willow saw just how much working things out meant to me. How I wouldn't let anything stand between us. (Rapunzel is feeling down then her mom comforted her) Rapunzel. Only you can get through to Cassandra. (Rapunzel's spirits are lifted and her mom kisses her) (Pascal climbs on Rapunzel's shoulder) (Pascal squeaks)
She's right, Pascal. It's time for the fight of our lives. (exhales) (runs to Maximus then Rapunzel and her mom race back to the Snuggly Duckling while riding on Maximus and Fidella) (Fidella whinnying) Hyah! (wolves barking and howls) (Quirin, King Frederic, King Edmund, Hamuel, Ulf, Big Nose, Vladimir, Kiera, Catalina, Lance, Varian, Eugene, Ruddiger, Monty, Feldspar and Old Lady Crowley are shown at the Snuggly Duckling with their spirits down)
Okay, spirits are at an all-time low. Think, what would Rapunzel do? (Ruddiger chatters) Ooh, got it! Hey, haven't any of you had a problem you just couldn't solve? (picks up Ruddiger) One we could sing about, preferably a bouncy tune that makes you forget how bad... everything-oh, come on. We can't just give up.
Lance
Yeah! If Eugene can lose an entire kingdom in humiliating defeat and still hold his head up (exhales) then so can we.
That's right. I'm sure our captain has a plan to victory. (chuckles) Poor sap has no idea how doomed we are. Doomed, I tell you! Hold it together, Edmund. (picks up Hamuel after he falls) (takes a deep breath) I believe in you, son.
Thank you for the support, Dad. Now, come on, there's got to be a way out of this.
(opens the door) There is, but there's only one way out, and that's through it.
Lance
(sees a toucan with a tentacle rowing a boat when he and everyone are floating) (gasps) Uh... (he and everyone enter the green clouds and pop their heads from underneath the green clouds)
Okay, so I'm gonna come right out and say it. (tells Varian and Catalina) This is just awful. (holds a strange pig by the tail and flings it) (an unknown creature wearing is a helmet and it holds a jousting stick while it is riding on a bee flies by Varian, Kiera and Catalina)
I'm not sure if I should be fascinated or terrified. (a giant eyeball appears then Varian, Kiera and Catalina see it multiply into smaller eyeballs and floats away) And we have a winner. (Lance pops out from underneath the green cloud with a unicorn on his head and he sees it)
Lance
Everyone, let's just relax. I'm sure Eugene will have us back in no time. (unicorn squeaks and Lance yelps when an oddly colored giraffe pops out from underneath him) I hope.
