So, I guess it's a pretty safe bet that Corona won't be hosting a daddy-daughter dance anytime soon? (laughs) (Rapunzel and Pascal stop pacing and looks at him angrily) (Pascal squeaks) Yeah, sorry, not the time for jokes. (Rapunzel sits next to him)
(sighs) I'm not sure what's going on, but I know Corona's in some kind of danger. And I feel like I'm the only one who wants to do anything about it.
No, no you're not. Listen. Blondie, no matter what we're up against, I'm with you all the way.
I know, thank you, I just... (sighs) I think I need some time alone.
Understood. (about to leave) You know... Things do seem pretty dark right now, but if anyone can find a light, it's you. (Rapunzel smiles) I've got a feeling everything's gonna be okay. (hears Stan) (opens the door)
Quit being so mean, Pete!
Wait! All I said was your breath smells like tree-rot, you are a sub-standard croquet player, and previous instances where I asserted you had a lovely singing voice were patently false. (gasps) (Stan gasps and turns around)
You've always loved my voice! (Rapunzel runs to Pete and Stan)
Pete! What are you doing? Stan's your best friend!
I know, I can't help it! It's like... I have to say whatever's on my mind!
Oh, yeah? Well, you have cookie crumbs on your cheek. (points to Pete's cheek) (runs) (Stan sobbing)
Stan, wait! I'm sorry! (runs after Stan to apologize) (Eugene walks to Rapunzel)
You've got enough on your plate, Blondie. Go get some rest. I'll handle this. (walks to the same direction as Pete and Stan)
(sighs) (goes back to her room to sleep on her bed) (having a dream) (waltz music playing) (opens the door and walks into the throne room)
King FredericRapunzel, there you are!
Dad, what it all this? (dancing with her dad)
King Frederic
Look, darling, I feel horrible about the way we left things, and, well, I'm hoping to make it up to you.
Oh, Dad, I'm so relieved to hear that-- (crackling) Ah! (people screaming) Oh! (crackling and rumbling) (panting) (groans)
Stop running, Rapunzel. (appears behind Rapunzel)
(turns around and sees Varian) (gasps) (Varian bends down to pick up Rapunzel's hair then holds her hair)
Face your destiny, or all you hold in your heart will be in grave danger. (tells Rapunzel) (tense music)
Uh... (Rapunzel wakes up and sees her glowing and it knocks the clock and her journal off the nightstands (Pascal squeaking) No, Pascal! (runs to grab her pet when he has tied up) (Pascal squeaks) Oh, Pascal! I would never do anything to hurt you. Come on.
Frederic
And now, I have failed you too, Arianna. (upset) (Rapunzel enters her mom and dad's bedroom)
Frederic
(sniffles) Rapunzel. I thought I made it clear-- (Rapunzel sighs and hugs her dad then he hugs her back) (whispers) Thank you.
She's gonna be okay, Dad. We'll get her back.
Frederic
This... this is all my fault. (blames himself)
Dad, no. No, it's Varian and those rocks, and--
Frederic
No. No, Rapunzel. You were right. (sees the picture again) I have been keeping something from you. As you know, the night you were born, your mother fell deathly ill. I was desperate to do anything to save her, and you. So, I sought the miracle of Sun Drop Flower. But what I've never told anyone was that there was more to the story. You see, earlier that night, I was warned. Warned that taking the Sun Drop Flower would reap unimaginable consequences. That by removing the light... I'd be awakening a darkness. But, I had no choice. I've known about these black rocks all along. At first, I didn't wanna believe that they were the results of my actions. And when that became impossible, I chose to ignore them. And I expected everyone else to do the same.
Frederic
Yes, yes. Especially you. But the truth is, the rocks are destroying Corona. And you... You are connected to them somehow, I am responsible. No king... would ever put the welfare of his family before that of his country. (Rapunzel holds her dad's hand)
But a father would. (Rapunzel's dad smiles at her then they hug before letting go) Now... let's find a way to save our kingdom. (tense music)
MMan
The rocks are getting closer!
Oh! Oh, we're doomed! Doomed!
Pipe down, Feldspar. (in ominous voice) We're doomed, I tell you.
Frederic
People! (indistinct shouting) Citizens, please, listen to me! (loud whinnying, neighing) I will not lie to you any longer. Corona is in grave danger. The queen has been taken. Over half our royal guard lie wounded. And these black rocks draw ever closer. (indistinct shouting)
Uh, sir, hi, yeah. If there's a "but" in this speech, you probably wanna cut to it... right now. (tells King Frederic then Rapunzel holds his arm)
Frederic
But I look at you, and I don't just see subjects. I see friends, family, strong, brave individuals who have stood by each others' side, and have never, ever backed down from a fight. Today, we face a danger like none before. As your king, your friend, and as your brother, I ask you to fight one more time. For Corona! (crowd chanting) For Corona! For Corona!
What do you ask of us, Your Majesty? (asks King Frederic)
Frederic
As was so insightfully pointed it out to me, we've been playing straight into Varian's hands, and now, he's expecting a full-out attack on Old Corona.
So, what's the plan, Your Majesty? (Rapunzel puts her finger on a model of Varian's home)
We launch a full-out attack on Old Corona.
But we'd be giving him the upper hand.
Yeah, well, we're let Varian think he still has the upper hand. And while we distract him with the assault, I am gonna sneak around the back using the underground tunnels and rescue the queen. (her dad puts his hand on her shoulder)
Frederic
We are going to to rescue the queen. (tells Rapunzel then she smiles)
With all due respect, Princess, Varian only wants you. Once he sees you're nowhere to found, won't he realize that our attack is just a diversion?
Probably. That is what he is for. (Shorty is Rapunzel's decoy for the assault)
I got this. (walks into the strategy room disguised as Rapunzel to fool Varian) Ready, Caspal? (gibbering)
What a happy family reunion this will be. (Queen Arianna gasps and he turns around to face her with an evil grin) For both of us. (tense music) (Rapunzel, Pascal and King Frederic are at the underground tunnels and they are walking underneath to Varian's lab)
(whispering) Varian's lab should be right above us. (climbs the ladder) (wood creaks)
Frederic
Ah, careful. (holds the ladder for Rapunzel) (wood creaks) (Rapunzel reached the top of the ladder and opens the hatch) (hatch creaking) (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel peeks around the lab) (tense music) (then Rapunzel and her dad enter the lab) (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel and her dad walk towards a dummy Varian at the window that Varian himself had placed) (tense music intensifies) (King Frederic grunts when he grabs the dummy Varian) What? (drops the dummy to the ground and points to it) What is this? (Rapunzel gasps) (mechanial whirring) (Rapunzel and her dad sees the trap that Varian placed) (then Varian's chemical balls are released from the traps on both sides) (smoke hisses then balls trap Rapunzel and King Frederic with goop) (Rapunzel grunting while she tries to free her feet) (Varian laughing evilly when he shows up with his hair is covering his face)
Welcome back... (Rapunzel gasps) Rapunzel. (greets her to his house while he revealed his evil smile after he lifts up his hair to show his face) (Rapunzel, her dad and Pascal are mad at Varian) (Pascal squeaks)
Frederic
Varian, I demand you release us, and tell me where the queen is. (Varian took Pascal from Rapunzel to put Pascal inside a cage and he walks while carrying the cage Pascal)
Your Majesty, I know it's hard for you, but for the first time in your life... (Pascal squeaks sadly when Varian puts the cage on his desk) ... you are in no position to demand anything. (angrily tells King Frederic) But in the spirit of compromise, how 'bout I meet ya halfway. (walks backwards to the curtain to reveal Queen Arianna from behind it) (Queen Arianna gasps)
(gasps) Mom! (her dad holds her when she is worried about her mom)
Let her go, Varian! Please! (begs him to let her mom go)
First, you're going to do something for me. (tells Rapunzel)
Frederic
What do you want? (asks Varian)
Oh! So now you care about what I want. (laughs) All it took was threatening the things you love the most. (walks to Queen Arianna to grab her shoulder to pull her towards him when he bends down behind her then he glares at Rapunzel and King Frederic) (tense music)
Don't let up! (grunting) (tells everyone) (Maximus whinnies) (Eugene grunts) (Eugene jumps off Maximus and tries to destroy an automaton)
(grunts) They've shielded their timing cylinder. (he realized that Varian protected the automaton's timing cylinder from attacks then Maximus comes to help when automaton attacks) Max, split up! (he and Maximus go separate ways) (an automaton rumbling when it runs after Eugene but he jumps over the black rocks while automaton is rumbling when it runs towards him) Man, these things are almost as tough as-- (Eugene has an idea when he sees his reflection via the black rocks) Ah-ha! (runs back to tell everyone to skewer the automatons on the black rocks) Guys! The rocks! Use the rocks! (Vladimir yelling when he charges past Pete and Stan while Vladimir is carrying Attila on his back and he is growling then throws Attila towards the three automatons) (three automatons clanking when they are skewered to the black rocks and they explode) (Feldspar throws a shoe at the automaton and it thumps then it turns around to see him) (the automaton starts to attack Feldspar but Maximus saves him from being attacked by kicking it to a pile of black rocks) (automaton thuds and explodes)
Good thinking. (tells Eugene)
Well, I'm a problem solver. It's what I do. (music tinkling) (mechanical clanking) (more automatons appear)
CECassandra and Eugene
Oh, come on!
Frederic
What are you going to do, Varian? (asks Varian while he wheels his drill)
Yeah, I'll... I'll spare the you the details about the Sun Drop and darkness, blah, blah, blah, and get to the good stuff. (pulls the sheet off his drill then walks to the black rocks and taps it) Unbreakable. (clanking) (walks behind Rapunzel and holds her hair) Unbreakable. (walks away from holding Rapunzel's hair) To put it plainly, with assistance from my drill, Rapunzel's hair should be able to shatter the amber and free my father. (walks away from Rapunzel and her dad)
Frederic
What do you mean "should"? (puts his arm out to protect Rapunzel while asking Varian)
Oh, I suppose it's just as likely the amber shatters Rapunzel. (walks to the amber that encased his dad) I mean, the properties--
Frederic
Absolutely not. (takes his sword out)
It's not your choice, Dad. (tells her dad)
She's right, Dad. (walks to King Frederic and tells him that Rapunzel is correct then King Frederic is mad at him) Oh! And I almost forgot, we're, uh, kinda on a time crunch here, so, I'm gonna need to speed things along. (walks backwards to take the cork off his amber solution and pours it on a black rock next to Queen Arianna to encase her inside the amber) (the amber solution is crackling on a black rock and turning it into amber while Rapunzel and her dad watch as the amber is reaching Queen Arianna) (Queen Arianna gasps)
Varian, stop! (doesn't want him to encase her mom inside the amber then she complies)
Well... (walks to Rapunzel and frees her from the goop while bending on one knee) (chemical ball fizzling) Shall we get started? (asks her)
Varian, if this doesn't work, and something happens to me, please... please let my mom go. (begs him to release her mom)
I can't make any promises, Princess. (tells Rapunzel when he puts his goggles on his eyes) (cranking) (drill whirs)
(gasps, screams and holds her hair) (Rapunzel groaning) (her dad is worried about her) (Varian is trying to cut the amber with Rapunzel's hair and his drill) (Rapunzel sees her hair glows when it reacts to the amber) (whooshing) (Varian tries two more times to cut the amber with his drill and Rapunzel's hair but it failed four times)
(screams) What? (takes his goggles off his eyes) Why? (drill whirs) (tries to cut the amber again) (Rapunzel groaning and falls while Varian tries again for three more times) (Pascal squeaking while trying to leave the cage but Ruddiger appears)
Frederic
Stop it! She can't take anymore! (tells Varian) (Rapunzel groaning and faints on the floor)
Rapunzel! (worried about her) (Varian tries to cut the amber two more times until the drill powers down) (drill stops)
I just... I, I don't understand! (starting to have a breakdown to failure) Why won't it... (runs to the amber) Her hair! It... it should've cut through it! Why didn't it work? (continues to have a breakdown of his failure) (Ruddiger chitters when he frees the caged Pascal) (Ruddiger tosses a chemical to Pascal's mouth and he runs to Rapunzel's dad to free him from the goop then it is fizzling away while Pascal runs to Rapunzel to check on her)
Frederic
Arianna! (tosses his sword to his wife the she shatters the chains before the amber is encasing her) (Rapunzel's parents run to her) Rapunzel.
Rapunzel! (Rapunzel hugs her parents)
(lamenting his failure while crying) No! No! I wasn't wrong! It's not my fault! (turns around to see Rapunzel and her parents hugging each other) None of it is! (glares angrily at Rapunzel while blaming her when his sanity is now pushed over the limit) It's her fault. (still bent on having revenge on Rapunzel)
Frederic
Rapunzel, are you okay? (asks his daughter)
(sighs) Yes, I will be. (tells her dad) Varian. (sees that Varian is gone) Oh, where did he go? (her parents turn around to see he is gone) (rumbling) (Pascal squeaks, screams while he notices the ground shaking) (Pascal squeaks) Whoa! (rumbling) (she, her parents and Pascal see Varian again)
(bursts out from the ground while inside a giant automaton) Sorry, Princess. We were in this together, but if I can't have a happy ending, then neither can you! (angrily tells Rapunzel) (Varian shouts when he attacks Rapunzel and her parents but they run away from him) (rumbling)
I will make you proud of me, Dad... (Ruddiger tries to cheer Varian up) (ominous music) (Stan closes the wagon) ...if it's the last thing I ever do. (still vows to make Quirin proud) (the wagon is pulling Ruddiger and the arrested Varian to the dungeon)
Don't be too hard on him, Dad. (about Varian after he is arrested)
Frederic
I'll be sure to do everything I can to get him help. (about the arrested Varian) As for Quirin, I'll not give until I find a way to free him. (tells his daughter) (Rapunzel turns to look at the opening the black rocks have made in the brick wall) (Pascal squeaks)
It's like the rocks want us to... follow them. (noticed that the blacks have made a path for her and Pascal)
Frederic
I think you're right. At first, I believed the rocks' purpose was to destroy Corona. I was wrong. I can see now that they're pointing in a direction. Pointing you in a direction. I only regret that it has taken all this to convince me that I should be doing the same. Rapunzel, when you were returned to us, I swore I would never let anything ever happen to you again.
But, Dad, we talked about this. I don't-
Frederic
I know, I know. You're right. This past year, you've showed me that there is so much more in you than could have ever imagined. I've just been too afraid to let you go. But this path is yours to follow. (points to the black rocks) And if you ever lose your way... (lanterns appears while they float in the sky) (smiles at his daughter) (uplifting music) (Rapunzel, Pascal, Eugene, Cassandra, Lance, King Frederic, Queen Arianna, Old Lady Crowley, Monty and Maximus see the lanterns) (uplifting music continues)
Thank you, Dad. (hugs him) I love you so much.
Frederic
And I love you, too sweetheart. (her mom hugs her too)
Find your destiny, Rapunzel.
I'll take care of her, Your Majesty. (tells King Frederic)
King Frederic
Eugene, you should know by now, Rapunzel doesn't need anyone to take care of her.
Ruddiger, get outta my apron! That tickles! (mad at his pet for tickling him) (Ruddiger chitters) (Ruddiger runs) (Varian pulls the lever) (electricity sparking)
Are you sure this is going to work? (asks Varian)
If my new machine works the way I think it should, (chuckling) and it will, we are moments away from reversing the effects of the Saporian's memory wand. (machinery whirring) (pipes burst) (pink goo splattering on King Frederic, Queen Arianna and Rapunzel) (Pascal squeaking but he sees Rapunzel has goo on her then he change colors to goo and Rapunzel smiles at Pascal)
King Frederic
Ugh... Where am I, and why am I so gooey?
I'm sorry, Rapunzel. I-I was so sure this was gonna work! (scratches his hair when he failed) (sigh) I feel like I've tried everything. (feeling down)
You did your best, and besides, I have another method up my sleeve. Don't get me wrong. The power of science is impressive, but it is nothing compared to the power of love. (goo splattering on her and Pascal) (Varian backs away) (Ruddiger jumps off the ceiling then holds an apple) (Ruddiger chitters when he eats the fruit while Rapunzel smiles) (licks her hand) Mm, strawberry! (Varian smiles)
(sighs) Okay, okay. Uh, what about this one?
King Frederic
Oh, that's your coronation, of course.
Yes. (laughs) Ah, and this. Okay, this. What happened here?
King Frederic
Ah, that- That's when Eugene and I stole the royal seal of Equis. Oh. Seal! Seal! I get it now.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Right again. Yes!
King Frederic
I remember this.
Yeah, it's when I broke through the wall.
King Frederic
(laughing): No. It's when I realized what a brave and independent woman you had become.
It's good to have you back, Dad.
King Frederic
And I have you to thank for that, Rapunzel. Throughout this entire ordeal, never once have you strayed from our side. (hugs Rapunzel while Pascal squeaks) Family sticks together, right?
Family sticks together. (chuckles)
Can you believe the audacity of Lance? Not only did he borrow my moisturizer but he left the lid off. Now it's all dried out. (Owl hoots) (Rapunzel gasps) Guys, don't worry. I have a backup bottle.
(opens the window) Oh. (runs to him) Owl, are you okay? Where have you been? Wait. Does this mean...? (Pascal squeaks and he puts a pillow under Owl's head) Where's Cass? (Owl drops a fruit from Tirapai Island)
(sighs) Oh. Looks like we're going back to Tirapai Island.
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)
King Frederic
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?
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)
(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?
Guys, I know we've got to get out of here, but is it weird these delicious-looking things are making me hungry? (some food items with eyes float by Lance while he is on a blue giraffe)
Not to me. (picks up a weird looking lettuce and a weird looking fish that has a child's head appears from the weird looking lettuce then Shorty eats the weird looking vegetable)
Oh, yeah, I think, I think we're safe. Up here, for a while. (chuckles) What? (Kiera, Catalina, Feldspar, Pete and Stan notice Varian's stripe has become a snake)
Uh, V, I don't want to alarm you, but the stripe in your hair, it's alive! (Varian and his stripe that has turned into a snake scream at each other and the alive stripe also has eyes and goggles) (Varian's hair stripe that has turned into a snake is grunting)
Get it off! No, why? (freaks out and runs away after he sees his hair stripe is alive)
Oh, man, I can't look. (closes his eyes with his hands but an eye appears on his goatee) Why can I see this? (twenty-one more eyes appear on him) Why I can still see this? (ton of more eyes continue to appear on him) I shouldn't be able to see this.
King Frederic
(grunts and notices that there is another of him attached at the bottom)
Um, Frederic! (she has rabbit ears on her head) (Ruddiger has flowers all over him) (Big Nose's nose has wings after it removed itself from his face) (Pete and Stan are attached to each other)
Welcome to my world. (Big Nose's nose fly to him) Oh, hi, Big Nose's big nose. (waves to Big Nose's nose)
I think I know what's going on here. (Monty is bouncing like a ball) (Milton the Goat has a body and arms and legs and feet and hands) This place, it's changing us.
Oh, really, Professor Snakehead? (climbs off the giraffe) How'd you figure that out?
And if we don't get out soon, then these changes could be... (puts his hand on his chin to think)
VSVarian's hair stripe
Irreversible. (Varian notices his hair stripe can talk)
