Varian(Varian groans weakly when he wakes up after being tied to a black rock) Ugh. (sees around him when he notices that he is at an unfamiliar area that he has not been to before) Hey, where are we? (asks Cassandra when he is mad at her)
I need that third incantation, Varian. (tells her prisoner)
Varian
Never. (refuses to tell Cassandra the third incantation)
I knew you'd say that. That's why I went through your little bag of tricks. (picks up and holds Varian's bag then lets it go while holding the truth serum with her other hand) I found something in here that might change your mind. (sees the truth serum) Recognize this? (walks over to Varian) (she shows the empty bottle of truth serum but he leans back to the pole and she asks he remembers it then she walks away)
Varian
Ha! No. (pretends that he does not know what the truth serum is) (he is under the effects of his truth serum but he tries to fight it) Ugh, yes, it's a truth serum of my own design and it compels the drinker to tell the truth and answer any question asked. (he tells Cassandra that he made it) (Cassandra walks back to other chemicals of Varian's to put the bottle on the rock and takes the scroll then she walks back to Varian while carrying the scroll) Wait, but I never drank that. (groans) (remembers that he was not drinking his own truth serum)
Lucky for me, you sleep with your mouth open. (reveals that she was the one that poured his truth serum into his mouth when he slept) So let me ask you, what's the third incantation? (tells Varian while she holds the scroll when she sits next to him)
Varian
(grunting) I, uh... (tries to fight the effects of his own truth serum but he cannot) (grunts) (still under effects of his truth serum) Crescent high above... evolving as you go... raise what lies beneath... and let the darkness grow. (forced to tell Cassandra the third incantation that she wanted)
(starts to make a stronghold) Crescent high above... Crescent high above... evolving as you go... raise what lies beneath... and let the darkness grow. Bend it to my will, consume the sunlight's glow. Rise into the sky and let the darkness grow. (Fidella neighs while she and the palace horses hear a ruckus at the stables) (Shorty gasps while he, Ulf and Attila hear a ruckus at the Snuggly Duckling and a mug fell to the floor) (rattles) (King Frederic and Queen Arianna hear a ruckus on their balcony) (Rapunzel, Pascal, Eugene, Lance, Maximus and Ruddiger hear a ruckus inside the tunnel)
Varian
What is that? (does not know what Cassandra is building)
Let darkness... grow. (finished making a stronghold with the third incantation) (stronghold materializes) (the light of the stronghold becomes a ring of light and balls of light) (the wind blows while Varian closes his eyes then opens them and he is shocked when he sees the stronghold) Home sweet home. (loves her new home)
You've done well, Cassandra. Soon Rapunzel will come for the boy. (Varian feels down when Cassandra holds his elbow while they walk on the staircase and the Enchanted Girl levitates)
And then what? (asks the Enchanted Girl while Varian looks at Cassandra)
Then you will face her with the full power of the MoonStone. (tells Cassandra while Varian is scared) (Enchanted Girl vanishes)
Varian
Who is she talking to? (wants to know who Cassandra is speaking to) (he and Cass arrived at the throne room then they stop walking to the center of the throne room)
(sighs) (Varian is facing toward his abductor) Look, I know none of this is your fault and I don't want to hurt you so when Rapunzel comes for you, don't try anything foolish. (tells Varian that he cannot try to be unwise when Rapunzel rescues him) (she removes the makeshift handcuffs from Varian's hands while he is feeling down) (Varian makes sure that his hands aren't hurt from the handcuffs but Cassandra walks away when she takes her sword from her back and carries it)
Varian
You have so much to hold onto
I only want my rightful dues
Varian
Listen please, you've lost your grip and lost your mind
Varian
All's not lost, don't be so blind
Varian
Cut your losses, drop the IOUs
Varian
Oooh choose
Varian
(having a nightmare) Wha... Wh... Where am I? What the... Wha... Wh...Where... Where am I? Who are you? (asks the Enchanted Girl)
A friend. Or at least I'd like to be. (her head floated down with the tree then she reappears with her head attached to her body but she is upside down) There is a way to save Cassandra. The final incantation. (she levitated herself to Varian) The Sun-Drop must use it against the MoonStone's power. (then she splits herself in half when she is passing through Varian before she becomes whole)
Varian
What? No, no. There is no other incantation. It's not on the scroll. (takes the scroll from the bag while talking to the Enchanted Girl)
Isn't there? You just need to know how to look. (after she becomes whole again then she turns her around) You need to use the sun to see the sun.
Varian
"Use the sun to see the sun"? Wh... I don't understand. (screams)
Use the sun to see the sun. (tells Varian before she wakes him up)
Varian
Whoa! (screams) (screaming) (gasps) That was a dream. (sighs) Oh, why couldn't this be a dream? "Use the sun to see the sun"? (the Enchanted Girl smiles maliciously at Varian) (takes the scroll from his bag and remembers what the Enchanted Girl said to him during the dream) "Use the sun to see the sun"?
(sighs) Pascal? Come out, buddy? (Eugene walks to another path to find Varian)
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.
Varian
Not now. I found the last incantation. It was hidden with a photoreactive ink. Obvious, right? (snorts)
Varian
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)
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)
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 grunts while he tries to walk on the black rock but he hangs on to it) Man, I really hate birthdays.
Varian
(sees the sun about to set soon) Hurry, the sun is setting. Eugene, come on!
I'm going as fast as I can, kid, without dying. (walks over to Varian to give the ring to him but it slipped)
Varian
Come on!
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!
Varian
(takes out the scroll to reveal the hidden words while using the ring) It's working.
Varian
(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)
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)
(Cassandra drags him and Varian back into the stronghold when Rapunzel refused to fight) (rattling) Bad. This is bad.
Varian
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)
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)
Varian
I chemically treated these thrusters so the flames will burn hotter and longer than any natural flame. You're gonna fly like the wind. (tool bag rustles) Don't touch that. (warns Eugene) Or that. Oh, don't touch that! It's gonna blow! (Eugene screams, wails) Ha, ha, gotcha. Just messing with you. (Pascal chitters) (Pascal squeaks when Eugene is pranked by Varian)
I knew that. And you're on my list, frog. (tells Pascal)
Guys, focus. (turns around to tell Pascal and Eugene to pay attention) Look at this. It took us weeks to get to the Spire on foot but thanks to Varian's speed balloon and this direct route, we'll make it in a day. (she, Eugene and Varian see the map) (Eugene looks at Varian and the map)
Good job, buddy. (puts his hand on Varian and exits the hot air balloon) (Varian smiles at Eugene)
Varian
Oh, wait, this takes you over Kresten Loch. (points to a route) Uh, Kresten Loch? The frozen sea? Miles and miles of deadly wintry expanse? (Pascal squeaks)
Varian
Well, if it were for anybody other than you, I'd be worried. Ah! Oh! Who glued my boots to the ground?
That's for your balloon prank earlier. (returns while holding a paintbrush and a bucket of glue) Eugene Fitzherbert never forgets. (puts a paintbrush into a bucket of glue then he sees that a paintbrush is glued to his hand and he tries to remove it)
Varian
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--
Varian
(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)
Varian
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)
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)
Varian
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)
Uh, tut-tut-tut. It's temporary. (walks alongside Max to follow Eugene) (tells Lance that he has a nonpermanent job)
Sweet. A temporary promotion.
Hmm. I don't think that's enough. (tells Varian after putting a tiny drop of Flynnoelum into the Rooster)
Varian
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
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)
Varian
All right, Team Awesome. Project Obsidian is a success.
Varian
Project Obsidian, it's a device that can destroy Cassandra's self-esteem.
"Eugene, we are not attacking Cassandra.
Of course, we're not going to attack her, Sunshine, but I'm Captain of the Guard now. I have to be prepared to protect our people from any contingency. But I won't use this thing without your approval.
Varian
Princess, believe me, I don't want to hurt Cass either but we can't promise that she's not gonna try to hurt us.
Okay, I will sign it to protect Corona but we won't need it because I know the Cass, we love is still in there somewhere.
