(groans) Well, what can you see? (asks Catalina)
Um... it looks like we're moving.
VarianWhere is Max taking us? (asks Catalina)
Ugh. Max isn't the one carrying us. (sees Dwayne's nose) Dwayne is. (bushes rustles) (Dwayne goes the river and walks to a raft then steps on it)
Hey, Catalina. Do you think you could push that jewel out of its setting?
Varian
Oh, yeah. Good idea. Good... If you can, you might be able to squeeze through that opening. (agrees with Rapunzel but he groans then he tells Catalina)
I'll give it a try. (bends her head to tell Varian then she puts her head up when she is going to open the jewel) (groaning) It's in there pretty good. (suspenseful music playing) (Max is still sniffing the footprints) (Max whinnies) (Pascal squeaks) (Ruddiger and Pascal panting and stop walking) (Max neighs) (Max whinnies angrily and he turns his head both ways before seeing a boot alongside Ruddiger and Pascal) (Pascal squeaks when he and Ruddiger walk to Max) (the boot hops away then Hamuel is cawing when he appears out of the boot) (Hamuel hops the boot away then it makes footprints) (Ruddiger chitters angrily) (Max whickers) (Pascal chitters when he follows Hamuel while Max and Ruddiger are still mad) (Pascal comes out of the foilage and sees Dwayne sleeping on a raft) (Pascal returns to Max and Ruddiger to tell them that he saw Dwayne) (Pascal squeaks forcefully) (Max grabs Ruddiger then Max runs to the riverbank while Ruddiger holds on to Max's tail) (thilling music playing) (Max jumps on the medium sized rock while Pascal and Hamuel are on the saddle and Ruddiger is holding on the tail) (Max jumps above the bush then he goes under a fallen tree trunk then he stops when he sees the river) (a fork in the road is shown but Dwayne is going to the right) (Max whickers)
Varian
Guys, look! (tells Rapunzel, Kiera and Catalina then they walk to him) Wow. This... It appears to be some sort of ancient chirography. Yeah! Mionotion perhaps? No, no... Maybe early Saporian?
Uh, you're looking at it upside down. (tells Varian while she puts her arms on Kiera's head and Varian's goggles then she walks to the other side of the plague) (Varian tilts his head and realizes that he sees it the wrong way)
Varian
Oh, right. Of course.
(clears throat) You are now prisoner of the shell. To escape its curse, you must return it to the briny deep of the sea, or remain inside it evermore."
Uh... How can we return the shell to the sea when we're stuck inside of it? (Varian and Kiera look at Catalina when she asks Rapunzel)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. We're doomed! (Rapunzel walks on the plague to comfort Kiera)
Hey, don't forget. Doom upside down is whoop! And while you think about that, think about this: Our friends are still out there. Max is the best tracker in Corona! And he's probably on Dwayne's tail as we speak. (tells Varian, Kiera and Catalina about Max's trait)
And Pascal is really, really smart. (Rapunzel, Varian and Kiera turn their heads when Catalina tells Rapunzel, Varian and Kiera about Pascal's trait)
Varian
Plus Ruddiger can be surprisingly resourceful. (tells Rapunzel, Kiera and Catalina about Ruddiger's trait)
Anybody wanna say anything nice about that bird? (asks Rapunzel, Varian and Catalina about Hamuel but they turn their heads away then Rapunzel cross her arms, Catalina puts her hand behind her head and Varian is whistling while tapping his foot when they ignored Hamuel's trait)
(gasps while being frightened) Is someone there?
Listen, you bone-headed weasel! (Dwayne jumps when he frightened then he is protecting himself with his sausage when he is hearing voices)
Angry, give it back. (tells Kiera to hand the bullhorn back to her)
Who's angry? Give what back? (confused)
We're not going to get him to bring us to the sea by insulting him.
Varian
(whispering) You know, something tells me he's not going to do it if we ask him nicely either. (Dwayne takes his sausage off the twig then he puts it on his ear) (Dwayne takes the sausage away from his ear then he pokes it with his finger)
You're right. (ghostly voice) Dwayne! This is your subconscious...
Your subconscious. You know, your innermost self? That little voice in your head?
Just listen! You need to drop the pendant into the sea.
Well, why? (holds the pendant and sees it) This thing is worth a fortune!
It is. Uh... But it's a... a magic pendant. If you throw it into the sea, it will grow... uh, 10 times as big... and be worth so much more.
Uh, Might be time for some reverse psychology.
I don't think forward psychology would work on this dimwit.
You're right, Dwayne. Don't do it. Let the lucky crook you sell it to do it. That way he can get rich.
Why, that backstabbing jerk! (breaks his sausage into half and starts to storm off angrily) No one double-crosses Dwayne! (tosses the meat into the fire) (ominious music playing) (Max, Ruddiger and Pascal try to find Dwayne then they see him on a cliff) (Dwayne stops walking at the edge of the cliff and he removes the shell off his neck then he is about to toss it into the sea)
Varian
What does it mean, Demanitus? What does it mean? (translating the scroll then he turns around when he hears his dad)
Varian! (Varian opens the door and sees that his dad is encased by inside the amber)
Varian
Dad! No! No, not again! (runs to his dad to help free him)
Serves you right, traitor. (tells Varian)
MMan
There's the betrayer. (angry mob chatter) (Varian sees the angry townspeople)
This is what you deserve!
Varian
Dad?
Varian! (wants his son to help him)
Varian
No! What? Uh... (wakes up from his nightmare) (table rattling) (sighs) (runs outside while Ruddiger is on his neck)
Morning, son. (Varian sees his dad pushing a wheelbarrow of apples) (Ruddiger squeaks when he sees red rocks)
Varian
What is it, buddy? (asks his pet) (Ruddiger chittering then he climbs off Varian and runs down the steps) (Ruddiger sniffs, chitters then backs away scared) (Varian walks down the steps and sees the red rocks) Well... this is new. (Ruddiger chitters when he goes behind Varian)
Varian
Ruddiger! R-Ruddiger! (groans) (sighs) W--Ruddiger, where are you? (a raccoon chittering and Varian runs) (upbeat music playing) Hey! Buddy, where you headed? (chases a raccoon when Varian sees it leaps on roof while he is running on the stairs) (a raccoon chirp) (Varian jumps off the stairs) (sigh, grunts) (bumps into a wall) (runs to Feldspar and a woman that is holding an infant to greet them) Oh! Sorry. Hi.
Don't you have a kingdom to overthrow or something? (asks Varian but he ignores him)
Varian
(chuckling) Yeah... Uh, you haven't seen a raccoon around, have you? (asks Feldspar and a lady)
LLady
Humph! (infant crying)
Varian
Okay. Uh... N-Never mind. (chuckles) (walks away from Feldspar and a lady holding an infant) (raccoon chirping) (thud) (sees a raccoon and runs after it) Ruddiger! Hey, hey, hey, come back here! Ruddig-- (sees a different raccoon) (raccoon meowing and licking fur) (raccoon screech and it runs away but Ruddiger is shown from behind) (Varian turns around and he is glad to see Ruddiger then runs to him) (gasp) Hey! Buddy, I was looking for you! Wha-- What are you-- Hello? (tries to snap his pet out of it) W-what's wrong? (picks up his pet) Hey. (red rocks crash) (people screaming)
Varian
Now, theoretically, if we sever this chain of rocks, using one of my alchemical solutions, then we can cut off the red rocks' fear power.
Oh, we can so cut off their power. (turns around to see Pascal on her shoulder then Pascal squeaks)
Varian
You just need a cavern that runs deep enough.
Deep cavern... (gasp) I know just the place! (she, Varian and Eugene hear a handmaiden screaming when running away from a moth-winged Old Lady Crowley)
MWMoth-winged Old Lady Crowley
Hey! You didn't change the linens!
MMaid
No, no, no, no! (Rapunzel, Varian and Eugene run to her then they see her frozen)
(gasp) Oh, no! (touches the frozen maid) It's getting worse. We can't let this happen to anybody else. Your plan starts now.
Varian
No problem. We got this. No problem, we got this. (chuckle) (Pascal sees a scared Varian) (Pascal squeaks when he sees an insect) (Rapunzel and Varian go to the other side of the wood) (Rapunzel and Varian stop walking for a second)
You okay, Varian? (asks him) Because you've said, "No problem, we've got this," 23 times now. Look, I'm actually keeping track. Heh. (she shows Varian a drawing of him and the twenty-three tally marks on the next page of her journal)
Varian
(chuckling) That's... I'm fine, really. Uh, you know, just trying not to set off 3000 traps down here! (tells Raps) (he and Raps continue to walk) (Pascal sees an insect flying to a lever then Pascal's tongue activates it) (lever rattling and Pascal eats the insect)
Relax. We've been through these tunnels too many times for that to-- (sees Pascal eating the insect and the lever is activated) (traps creaking, hiss) (Varian, Rapunzel and Pascal see the traps underneath them open) Look out! (tells Varian) (she is holding on but Varian's book and amber solutions fell out of his bag)
Varian
Whoa! My supplies! (explosion) (tries to hold on) Oh! (struggling) (about to fall into the hole but Rapunzel unties her hair to save him) (Varian is screaming then he grabs on to Rapunzel's hair) (Rapunzel grunting when she pulls Varian up) Ooh! Oh, thank you.
Oh, are you okay? (asks Varian after she pulled him up) (Varian takes his bag off his back)
Varian
I'm fine. (holds his bag to see his items that remain inside) Oh, but we've only got one vial of my solution left. (takes his solution out his bag then he puts his bag on his back)
Well, then I guess, we'll just have to make it count. (tells Varian before he walks away) (Pascal squeaking and he sees another insect) (clears throat) (scolds Pascal)
Not much further. We're almost there, Varian. Have that solution of yours ready. (she continues walking but Varian stops walking then she turns around to walk back to him when she and Pascal see that Varian is scared) Varian, whatever the red rocks are showing you, they're just visions. They're not real. (tells Varian)
Varian
But they are. Do you know what this is? (shows Rapunzel his amber solution that he is holding)
It's what gonna help us sever the red rocks' fear power. (tells Varian)
Varian
Yes, but it's also the same compound that encased my father. You know, the red rocks make everybody else see hallucinations, but what I see is something that really happened. (sees his reflection via his amber solution) This stuff ruined my life. (Pascal squeaks) Because of this, I did-- I did terrible-- (turns away from Rapunzel) (Varian accidentally drops his amber solution then he, Rapunzel and Pascal see it is going to the floor) (Pascal screech, whip) (Varian sigh)
Great snag, buddy! (tells Pascal) (Varian takes his amber solution from Pascal) (Pascal sighs and phews)
Varian
If that had smashed, then Corona would've been done for, and everyone would hate me even more than they do now. Not that I blame them. (sighs)
Varian, you can't be so hard on yourself. (puts her hand on him when she is comforting him)
Varian
That's easy for you to say. You're the embodiment of the Sun Drop. You know, the wondrous, magical Sun Drop. (tells Rapunzel)
Ah! You hear that, Pascal? He called me wondrous and magical. (loves Varian's compliment) (chuckle) (Pascal squeaks)
Varian
No, what I'm saying is for ordinary people, like me, fear is just a little bit more debilitatiing. (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel holds his hand to comfort him)
Varian... There is nothing ordinary about you. (he sees that Rapunzel is holding his hand) (Varian is cheered up then he and Rapunzel walk alongside each other when holding hands)
Varian
Rapunzel, we really gotta hurry. (chuckle) How much farther is it?
Uh, we're here. You wanted a big underground cavern? I give you... the Demanitus Chamber.
Varian
Whoa. It-- it's amazing. (surprised to see the Demanitus Device)
You should have seen it before all these red rocks. (tells Varian)
Varian
Y-you actually s-seen this before? (asks Rapunzel)
You could say that. (Pascal squeaking) (she pets Pascal)
Varian
Man, I would've loved to have met Demanitus! (chuckle)
I did. Nice guy. He was a monkey. (tells Varian) Uh, long story. (Varian turns towards Rapunzel)
Varian
Oh! Okay, there's the base. Encasing it in amber should stop the fear-- (jumps off the stairs and runs to the base of the device when he points to it) (rumbling) (Varian yelping)
Okay, less explaining, more pouring. (pushes Varian) (unties her hair to put around Varian's waist when he walks to the red rock but he is scared) (rumbling)
Varian! Please help me! (Varian hears and sees his dad calling him) (Varian is scared and he sadly sees his solution but pours his solution on a red rock then runs back to Rapunzel) (Rapunzel shields her and Varian) (Pascal squeak) (rumbling continues) (Rapunzel stops protecting her and Varian)
Varian
What? Gah, I don't understand! This solution should encase the red rock... Oh, of course! Oh, so dumb, Varian! Whatever turned these rocks red must've also changed their internal chemistry.
So, that solution only works on black rocks?
Varian
Yes. Well, what's left of it. (tapping his beaker) But, I... I don't even see any black rocks. (tries to find black rocks)
I do. (puts one of her hand on Varian's shoulder when she points to a black rock at the top) (Varian walks closer to the edge to see a black rock) (suspense music playing)
Varian
Okay, this just got a lot harder.
Varian
(grunting when he climbs the Demanitus Device) (rocks crumbling) (yelping and grunt when he holds on) (rocks rumbling)
Whoa! Watch out! (dodging the rocks that are headed towards her and Varian then she warns the latter)
Varian
(grunts) (falls while screaming) No!
Varian! (she uses her as a lasso when she and Pascal see Varian fall off)
Varian
Oh! (gasp) (grabs on to Rapunzel's hair)
(grunts) (puts her hair around the object that holds a boulder and she pulls Varian up) Phew! (sits on her hair)
Varian
It's no use, Rapunzel! I can't do this!
Varian, you cannot let fear run your life. Look, I'm afraid too.
Varian
Yeah, you said that, Princess, but you don't see what I see. (he still sees his fear of his dad encased inside amber)
That’s true. I don’t. But that doesn’t mean I’m seeing... (Varian turns around to see her) other things. (sighs) I see Corona. It's covered in black rocks. And I see Cassandra. She's conquered the kingdom, destroyed it forever. And you know what the weird part is? What I'm most afraid of is losing Cassandra as a friend. Forever.
Varian
I had no idea. (comforts Rapunzel after she talked to him about her fear)
I guess we both have trouble talking about what scares us. (she and Varian see the rocks rumble) (suspense music playing)
Varian
I'll do it. Just, uh, gimme a lift. (tells Rapunzel)
One lift coming up. (grunts) (Varian lands on the Demanitus Device then he looks at Rapunzel) Hurry, Varian! (tells him to go fast) (Varian starts to climb up) (red rocks scraping and cornered her) (Rapunzel grunts) (Pascal hides inside Rapunzel's hair) (Cassandra is going to put her hand on a red rock)
Rapunzel? (she is mad) (Rapunzel sees her hands are turning red due to her fear)
Uh, Varian? (Varian climbs up when his hands slowly starts to be frozen while he is mad)
Varian
(grunting) It's not real. (he is about to be frozen) I can do this. (he tells himself that he is brave) (panting) Okay. (grunting) (crumbling) (about to be frozen when he reaches the top) (takes the vial out of his bag) Ah! Come on! Come on. (drops the beaker) Ah! The vial! No! (catches the beaker with his boot before he is about to be frozen permeantly) (he hears his dad calling him again)
Varian! (Varian closes his eyes then he sees the amber solution is going to fall out of the beaker)
Varian
Oh no, no, no! Don't! (toss the beaker up via his boot then he catches it) (grunt) Got ya. (black rock slowly starts to turn red) (groaning)
Oh! You tackled your fears, Varian! I knew you had it in you! (Varian smiles) (Rapunzel is glad that Varian faced his fears)
Varian
If it weren't for Rapunzel, I'd be-- (tells his dad) (Ruddiger chirping when he runs to Varian) Ruddiger! (Varian is glad to see Ruddiger unfrozen again then the former picks up the latter) H-hey! (holds Ruddiger) Good to see you, buddy. (Ruddiger climbs on Varian and tickles the latter) (Feldspar walks to Varian, Ruddiger and Quirin) (congrats and tells Varian)
Oh! Nice job with those rocks, Varian! Rapunzel says you were a real hero, so, uh, yes. (leaves Varian, Ruddiger and Quirin)
Varian
Just doing my part. (tells Feldspar after he leaves) (Quirin puts his hand on Varian's shoulder) (Varian looks at his dad) (Varian, Ruddiger and Quirin smile)
Varian
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)
Varian
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)
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)
Varian
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.
Varian
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)
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)
Varian
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)
Varian
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!
Varian
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)
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)
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)
