(Twenty-five years ago, in a unknown kingdom, where the back rock spikes seem to have originated from)
"I can't take it anymore! This stone has claimed too many lives!! It stops today!" [charges forward and tries to destroy the Moonstone. But, he was held back by Quirin]
Quirin"Your Majesty!! Please, You are not thinking clearly! You know the stone cannot be destroyed!"
[Edmund ignores him and tries to destroy the Moonstone. But, it caused a magical explosion that caused Edmund to lose his arm.]
Quirin
Your majesty! [he and Adria rushed to his aid and pulls him out of the wreckage.]
"I was a fool. It cannot be stopped. Our only hope is to keep its power from the world."
"At any costs! You must leave this castle, keep anyone from finding it. Anyone who seeks out this opal must be stopped."
(Twenty-Five Years Ago, in the dark kingdom)
Quirin
"The Stone and its destructive power must be kept secret from the world. It is the Brotherhood's duty to keep that secret. It is King Edmund's dying wish."
"There is another way. If we could go out and find the Sundrop, we may-"
"Enough! The Sundrop is a myth, Sister."
"It's real, Hector, and its power could neutralize the Moonstone."
"Go, go, chase empty legends like a fool. But just know: If you come back, you ain't my fellow brethren. You're a traitor. Sundrop or not, I'll end you."
Once I start this incantation, I won't be able to stop it. And it could seriously harm you and your father, so I'm trusting you to snap me out of it once your father is free. (gives the bucket of water to Varian)
You can trust me, Rapunzel. (thinks about it then he smiles and tells Rapunzel)
Wither and decay End this destiny. Break these earthly chains And set the spirit free.
Varian (gasps) It's working. (sees the amber is melting away from Quirin)
It's working! (sees the melted amber at his feet) (Quirin is going to be free from the amber)
Rapunzel Break these earthly chains (Varian sees her still saying the incantation and sees the water) And set the spirit free (Varian tosses the bucket away)
Wake up! Ahh! (gloves melted off) Rapunzel! Snap out of it!
Rapunzel... Rapunzel? You didn't give up on me. I'm not giving up on you.
(gasps) (fell on her knees after Varian snapped her out of the trance)
Are you okay? (bends on one knee while asking Rapunzel) (Rapunzel turns around and smiles at him) (he smiles and hugs Rapunzel) Thank you. (he runs to Quirin) Dad! Dad, you're alive! (Quirin hugs Varian when he cries then they stop hugging and Varian wiped his tears)
Quirin
Oh, son. (Varian sees the letter that Quirin wrote is melting)
Dad, the note! Well, wha...? What did it say? I need to know.
Quirin
All it said, was: "I'm so proud of you, Varian. I always have been." (put his hand on Varian) (he and Varian hug each other)
Quirin
I love you, too, son.
What does it mean, Demanitus? What does it mean? (translating the scroll then he turns around when he hears his dad)
Quirin
Varian! (Varian opens the door and sees that his dad is encased by inside the amber)
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!
Quirin
Varian! (wants his son to help him)
No! What? Uh... (wakes up from his nightmare) (table rattling) (sighs) (runs outside while Ruddiger is on his neck)
Quirin
Morning, son. (Varian sees his dad pushing a wheelbarrow of apples) (Ruddiger squeaks when he sees red rocks)
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)
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)
Quirin
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)
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?
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)
Okay, this just got a lot harder.
(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)
(grunts) (falls while screaming) No!
Varian! (she uses her as a lasso when she and Pascal see Varian fall off)
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)
It's no use, Rapunzel! I can't do this!
Varian, you cannot let fear run your life. Look, I'm afraid too.
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.
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)
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)
(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)
Quirin
Varian! (Varian closes his eyes then he sees the amber solution is going to fall out of the beaker)
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)
What did you two see at the castle? (Pascal squeaking as he camouflages himself as Hector's binturong, Hector, Hector's rhinoceros and Adira) I was right. She has the Brotherhood standing guard.
We'll have to take them out to get inside so that Varian can bulild that machine.
Meanwhile, I'll track Cass down. One way or the other, I'm going to get the Moon Stone.
Such pluck in the face of adversity. She'll certainly make an excellent daughter-in-law one day.
Dad, you are thinking out loud again. (annoyed)
No, I wasn't. (winks and walks away)
Mm, that reminds me. (turns around to Eugene) Aren't we about due for one of us to stumble through an awkward proposal?
(laughs) Right. Whose turn is it again? Look, I know everything is going to work out. But in case it doesn't--
It will. And no matter what happens today, you are still and will always be my dream, Eugene. (kisses Eugene's hand while holding it)
And you are mine, Rapunzel.
Hey, Dad, here. I found this with your old stuff. (Quirin turns around when Varian walks to him) I gave it a little polish. (hands the helmet to his dad)
Quirin
I never thought I'd have to wear this again. But now that I must... (puts his helmet on) I am proud to have my son fighting alongside me. (Varian smiles at his dad then they are having a father and son moment)
Okay, troops, suit up. (Ulf ran past Varian and his father)
All right, everyone, you know the plan. Charge the castle, build that machine, open the portal, and send Zhan Tiri back to the netherworld. Now let's move out! (everyone cheering as they follow Rapunzel, Eugene and Lance) (Hamuel squawks while flying upside down) (yelling)
It's locked. (Ruddiger roars as he breaks the door open) It's unlocked. (everyone is yelling as they stormed the castle but Maximus is keeping an eye out then everyone storms the throne room) (confused murmurs)
I don't know. But let's just get that machine build before they get back. All right? (Varian walks behind Fidella)
I'm going to find Cassandra.
Sunshine, good luck. (Pascal squeaks)
(leaves the throne room with Pascal and enters the hallway but finds Zhan Tiri)
"Looking for someone? That old fool, Demanitus, would be proud of how far you've come, Princess."
"To be clear, we are talking about the old same fool who outsmarted you and trapped you in oblivion for over two millennia?"
"Joke all you want, but the eclipse is upon us."
What, what, what's happening?"
(her blonde glows via her heavenly Sundrop abilities, and she starts to feel weakened by the solar eclipse)
And...there. (tightening the screw) Okay, just pull that lever, and we've got ourselves a trans-dimensional portal. Heh, heh.
Oh, you weren't kidding. That was fast.
Okay, we've just got to make sure everyone is clear of the portal or else, you know, they'll end up in limbo right along with Zhan Tiri. Quirin is still under the control of the Mind Trap and walks towards the lever)
Although, I got to admit, this all feels a little too easy. (Varian looks at Eugene then Varian and Eugene look the other way to see Quirin)
Quirin
(yells) For Cassandra! (pulls the lever and his helmet reveals to have a temporary stun mechanism then Varian and Eugene notice this) (Eugene and Varian alongside Feldspar, Ulf and Vladimir see that Quirin is being under the control of the Mind Trap) (Quirin's helmet is temporary stunning him) (groans and falls backwards) (Varian is worried)
Dad, Dad, don't worry. (he and Eugene run to Quirin to check on him) You'll be okay, I promise.
What happened? (puts hand on Varian's shoulder to comfort him while asking him while everyone is also depressed of what happened to Quirin)
I thought about what you said, so I took precautions. I rigged his helmet with a temporary stun mechanism. (feeling down)
Score one for Team Awesome! (proud of what Varian did) (chuckle)
Let's say we get him someplace more comfortable, huh? (Eugene tells Varian that they will take Quirin somewhere while the former is comforting the latter then the latter smiles and nods)
