Eugene... I'm so sorry. (apologizing to him) I had no idea my game would lead to such a disaster. I really thought you guys would have fun.
Oh, look, you've had better ideas, but you don't have to apologize. It must be hard with both of us going at each other's throats all the time, so from now on, even though I have no idea what you see in her, I'll try to be nice to the dragon lady-- (Rapunzel is annoyed) I mean, Cassandra. (Rapunzel walks to the door and he smiles) (Rapunzel inhales, exhales deeply)
(sighs) Uh, yeah, yeah. Okay, I can do this. I just gotta walk in there, and tell the scariest, most intimidating man in the world that I broke his favorite vase. He's gonna kill me. (tells Rapunzel)
My dad's not gonna kill you! (tells Eugene) Ah, do you remember last month when the royal tailor accidentally tore his robe? My dad didn't kill him. Of course, he's got like a million of those robes, and only one of those vases exists in the entire world, and come to think of it, I remember seeing the tailor locked in the stockade.
Blondie, not helping. (grabs Rapunzel's arms and tells her)
Yeah, sorry. (apologizes to Eugene and stops holding her arms)
All right. (opens the door to see Cassandra and Rapunzel's dad) I just gotta face... the music? (Cassandra turns around and sees Eugene)
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate what you did. (thanks Cassandra and she turns around)
I figured if you got kicked out of the castle, Rapunzel would be all mopey, and... I don't really do mope.
Ha ha, so... does this mean I can borrow your halberd? (asks Cassandra)
No halberd, okay, yeah, I'm okay with that. (Rapunzel hears Eugene and Cassandra's conversation from behind the door) (Pascal squeaks)
Yes! (Pascal high fives Rapunzel's hand)
By the way, where is my halberd? (Rapunzel realizes that she is the one that threw it to the ceiling)
I did not. (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel and Pascal leave when Cassandra and Eugene are starting another argument)
Oh, here go again. I can't believe you're gonna lie to my face.
I can't even look at your face.
Why you-- (vase shatters)
Hahaha, missed me! You broke it this time! Ha!
WWoman
Challenge on the Brave? Looks like some kind of tournament.
MMan
(chuckles) Not just any tournament. I hear the fiercest fighters from all over are coming to compete! (Cassandra walks by and hears about the event from a man and a lady then a child bumps into Cassandra)
WWoman
Whoa! Let me tell you, whoever walks away champ will have earned the respect of every warrior in the seven kingdoms. (thrilling music) (Cass walks to the posters and proud to see it then starts training for the event and doing chores)
Ugh! (sees the other three handmaiden giving her laundry to wash via washboard) (continues training) (sews a dress) (marching footsteps) (sighs) (continues more training) (Dwayne thwacks a purse from a lady)
EElderly lady
Oh! Stop! Thief! (Cassandra walks by and turns around to hear a lady but Dwayne runs then Cassandra removes her headdress)
Stay back! We'll handle it. (tells Cassandra then he grabs Dwayne to prevent him from escaping) (Cassandra walks away to train more)
GGirl
Whoa! It's Princess Rapunzel!
Huh? (Owl hoots) (she and her pet turns around and sees Rapunzel) (kids cheering and run to Rapunzel)
(grunts, laughs) (hugs the three children) (Owl hoots) Wow, Cass. What is all this?
Nothing. (chuckles) I'm warming up for the Challenge of the Brave this morning. It's just a competition to find the toughest warrior in all of Corona. No big deal.
Ooh! Sounds exciting. Where can I sign up?
Yeah, like I said, no big-- Oh, sorry, what?
CChildren
Yeah, do it! That would be great! Do it! You could be princess, and the most "reveredest" warrior!
That would be fun, but I'm not so sure that's the best idea.
I'm brave. And I'm always up for a challenge. (puts her hand on Cassandra's shoulder)
But the-- the thing is, the challenge is by invitation only, so you can't do it. Oh, man, ugh! Rules are rules. (Owl hoots)
Oh, okay. But you can always count on me to cheer you on.
AAnnouncer
Welcome to the Challenge of the Brave, where you will see skilled combatants from all the lands compete in a series of death-defying challenges that culminate in the main event! The ultimate melee! (crowd cheers) Only one will walk away with the respect of the seven kingdoms! Today's favorite is the world's most renowned warrior. Some say he's the meanest, most ruthless fighter the world has even seen! Wreck Marauder! (crowd cheering) (Hook Foot and the other competitors are scared and are also screaming when they hear the Wreck Marauder arriving at the event) (bees buzzing) (man screams, grunts and whimpers) (Wreck Marauder removes his mask)
Boo! (cackles) (man is scared and runs away screaming) (crowd gasps) Whose house is this? This is Wreck's house! (growls and toss the mask to the crowd and it lands on Shorty's face) (crowd gasps)
Yeah! That's my boy right there! (holds a foam finger) Wreck Marauder! (the crowd is mad at Eugene) I have seen that guy fight all over the world. He's undefeated! Challenge of the Brave (Pascal squeaking) Challenge of the Brave (Pascal chittering) Everybody, come on! (the crowd is still mad) (jumps off the bleachers) All right, the beard of the bees lady! (bee-bearded lady walks by) (bees buzzing) (Pascal takes one of the bees to eat but he gurgles, spits out the bee due to the stinger) Oh, yeah! How about these seats, huh? (asks a man) If I were any closer to the action, they'd be scraping my face off of Wreck Marauder's knuckles! (puts the man on the floor and puts the foam finger on a boy's face then pulls up a trumpet to blow but the crowd protecting their ears) (horn blaring) (Pascal is terrified)
MMan
Uh, sir? Some of the competitors are requesting we move you to a new seat. (tells Eugene)
Oh, you see that? Moving this super fan to the super fan section. (gives the trumpet to the man) Ha! I wish I could say this has been fun, but I respect you all too much to lie to your faces. (walks up the steps)
MCMale competitor
She's just here, cause she's Rapunzel's lady in waitin'. (tells Hook Foot and the other competitors about Cassandra) (Hook Foot and other competitors laughing)
Hi! Hello! Good morning! How are you? (walks and greets the competitors) Ooh! Wow! Your teeth are so sharp! (sees the shuny teeth) (gasps) Hook Foot! (sees and runs to him) Why so mad? (asks him) Just do a dance, and give that smile a second chance. (tells him) (chuckles) (hugs him and he smiles)
Probably not the best place for hugs, Raps. (walks to her and tells her then drags her away from hugging Hook Foot) What are you doing down here? (asks her) This is for competitors only.
Thanks, but I don't need luck. I need to use this time to get inside of the competiton's head. You know, psyche'em out with some trash talk.
Trash talk? Like talk about garbage, literally? (doesn't get what Cassandra is saying)
What? No, that's not even close. (sighs) Watch this. (walks to a competitor that ate meat) Hey, you! You do realize when they put the call up for the strongest warriors, they weren't talking about breath. Right? (the competitor belches) (she gags)
MCMale competitor
Why don't you go back to the castle, lady-in waiting? (walks away) (guffaws)
Well, that wasn't very nice, Cass.
All right. I'll give it a shot. I guess. (pulls up both her sleeves up and storms angrily to a competitor that has tattoos) Excuse me, you? Yeah, you. Uh-huh. Prepare to be trash talked to. Look at you with those... decorative tattoos. Oh, wow. Sorry. I'm sorry, but those are amazing. And did you see the lettering on "Skull Kickr"? Wow. (admires the tattoos)
SKSkull Kickr
What about it? (mad while his chest moves and asks Rapunzel)
SKSkull Kickr
Yeah, well, it-- it was my mother's name. (tells Rapunzel)
Your mom is really special to you, isn't she? (Skull Kickr nods and Cassandra facepalms) Well, I think she'd be really proud of the menacing goon you've become. (tells Skull Kickr)
MCMale competitor
(whimpers) I'm gonna go see my mom! (Rapunzel and Skull Kickr see a competitor crying then leaves) (Cass is annoyed and Wreck Marauder growls when he walks by)
Whoa! Look at you! (sees Wreck Marauder) You're a big guy, aren't you? (Wreck Marauder growling)
Come on, Rapunzel. (walks to Wreck Marauder and Rapunzel then grabs Rapunzel's hand to drag her away from him)
What do we have here? No one told me they were letting table scrapes compete. (Cassandra is mad at him) (he laughs)
Scraps? (turns around) You're the one that's gonna walk out of this in pieces.
I look forward to makin' everyone who ever loved you cry their eyes out. (touch his eye and he snickers) (Rapunzel walks between him and Cassandra)
Whoa! (puts her finger on Wreck Marader's chest) Listen, mister, trash talk, is one thing, but that was just mean.
Rapunzel... (tells Rapunzel to stop defending her)
Uh, Cassandra has feelings, you know? (puts her hands on her friend)
Aw, poor little baby. (about Cassandra) (he snickers) (Cassandra is mad)
And another thing, you should be-- (points to Wreck Marauder) (Cassandra grabs Rapunzel's arm)
Okay. That'll do, Rapunzel. (drags her friend away) (Wreck Marauder and the other competitors laughing) (sighs) Listen. I have to warm up, so... (turns and sees Wreck Marauder and the other competitors) why don't you find Eugene in the stands? You can cheer me on from there. Way back there.
Yeah. Yeah, sure, okay. I got it. I got it. You need to focus. No distractions. (about to leave but turns around to hug Cass from behind) Oh! Sorry! I forgot a good luck hug!
(grunts when Rapunzel hugs her) Eee! (annoyed)
Oh, right. It's not a place for hugging, I'm sorry. (pats Cassandra's head) Good luck! (the competitors laughing and walks away while they make Cassandra feeling down) (Rapunzel leaves to sit on the bleachers)
AAnnouncer
Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats! It's time to meet today's contestants! Give it up for Razorblade McDoom! (points to her)
RMRazorblade McDoom
(growling) The Razor's gonna carve ya... like a turkey!
(holds the foam finger) (Rapunzel is walking the steps) Ha! McDoom! More like McDone For! (laughing) Am I right? (sits)
(panting) (sits next to Eugene)
Hey, Blondie, you got the deluxe seats, too, huh? You know, they put you up here so you can see all the action.
Really? It's kind of far.
AAnnouncer
Next up, the unstoppable Wreck Marauder!
(growling) (terrifying Razorblade McDoom and Skull Kickr) Wreck has three words for you! You're gonna get wrecked! (tells Cassandra)
Hey. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that guy down there looks just like... Casaandra?
That is Cassandra! (puts her hands on Eugene) Wow! I've never seen Cass so nervous. (Cassandra is cracking her neck)
I guess I can't blame her. I mean, she worked so hard to get invited to this competition.
Invited? No, you don't need an invitation to compete. You just have to be dumb enough to do it. Like Cassandra. Ha-ha! Wooo!
Anyone can compete? (gasps) (smiles) We can do this together! (kisses Eugene) Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! (leaves to enter the competition)
Oh, oh, uh, hey, uh, Blondie, if you're making a snack run, I'm all about the popcorn! (tells Rapunzel when she walks down the steps)
AAnnouncer
And finally, the Iron Handmaiden, Caaasan-- (a lady whispering and giving him the newest entry then exits) Wow. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a last-minute surprise entry! (crowd gasps) Please welcome the Fearsome Follicle, the Heir with the Hair! The Maid with the Braid, Rapunzel!
(runs and enters the arena) (crowd cheering) (Pascal and Eugene are shocked)
GGirl
Yay, Rapunzel! (Cassandra is surprised that Rapunzel entered the event) Wow!
Cassandra! This is gonna be so much fun! (runs and hugs her)
Oh, blondie, what have you done? (he and Pascal are disappointed) (a man wearing a viking helmet sits next to him)
MMan
Did I not bring enough of the popcorn?
Good news, Cassandra. We can compete together! Isn't that great? Eeee!
AAnnouncer
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first event! The Gauntlet! (crowd cheering) (Skull Kickr walks to the first event)
SKSkull Kickr
(thuds) (screaming when launched into the sky while Rapunzel and Cassandra see him fly) (clattering) (audience cheering)
You're sure you wanna do this? (asks Rapunzel)
Sure do! (tells Cassandra)
AAnnouncer
Next up for The Gauntlet, Cassandra!
(panting) Excuse me. Comin' through. (tells the crowd) Emergency. Naive princess making life horrible decision. Pardon me. (walking down) (foreboding music) (The scene cuts to Cassandra marches towards swinging hammers) (Wreck Marauder blocks Cassandra from going to The Gauntlet then he twists a pipe into a knot and shows her)
What's that supposed to be? (asks Wreck Marauder)
It's a knot. As in you're knot going to win. (laughs) (Cassandra walks to the other side of him) It's a thinker. (Cassandra dodges the swinging hammers)
Woo! Go, Cass! (crowd cheering)
GGirl
Way to go, Cassandra! Woo-hoo!
AAnnouncer
Next up, Princess Rapunzel! (Eugene sees that it is Rapunzel's turn to walk between the hammers but he puts his hands on his face) (crowd cheering)
Please don't get smashed. Please don't get smashed... (he and Pascal worried about Rapunzel)
(humming while dancing around the hammers) (crowd cheering) (Eugene stops putting his hands on his face)
Oh, yeah! (laughs) (Pascal squeaks) (Eugene puts his hand on the lady's shoulder and tells her) That's my girlfriend right there! (akes his hand of the lady) (crowrd cheering) What? I wasn't worried, she's got this. Whoo!
GGirl
Yay, Rapunzel! Whoo! (crowd cheering) (Cassandra is unnoticed again) (Skull Kickr writes Rapunzel's name on his arm) (Cass is mad and Rapunzel runs to her)
Cassandra, did you see that? I told you I could handle myself. (tells Cassandra)
Nice dance, Rapunzel. (tells Rapunzel)
I'm not sure that routine will do much good against Wreck in the Dead Man's Circle.
(walks and made it to the second round) (hammers thudding)
But, hey, maybe you'll get lucky again. (Rapunzel sees and is terrified of Wreck Marauder then Cassandra walks away mad)
That wasn't luck. (walks to the starting line alongside Cassandra and the other competitors)
AAnnouncer
Challengers! Prepare for the next event!
(arrows thumping when she aimed them to the bull's eye due to her perfect skill and accuracy) Yes!
(doesn't know to aim an arrow to the bull's eye but she uses a guitar as a bow and made it to the third round) (crowd gasps)
(destroys the top of the bull's eye while Cassandra and Rapunzel see him) (the top of the bull's eye thudding) (crowd cheering)
(horn blaring) (a man and a lady protecting their ears) Yeah! (the same man that told him earlier to move to a new seat walks to him) (Eugene walks to another seat while carrying his horn)
Do you even know the rules? Aren't shoes required for the Log Roll? (asks the announcer if footwear is needed for an event and she takes the paper from him) Ugh, somebody check the Rulebook of the Brave! (the announcer walks to Cassandra and takes his paper from her then he walks away) (turns around and tells Hook Foot and the other competitors about Rapunzel) Guys! Am I the only one who has a problem with this? The Princess is making a mockery of this competition! (points to Rapunzel) (Rapunzel is stretching) (Hook Foot walks to her and he puts his hand on her while trying to comfort her)
Hey, it's okay, kid. When you're mad, do a dance! Give that smile a sec--. (tells Cassandra what Rapunzel told him earlier)
Oh, go eat a turkey leg, Hook! (annoyed and tells him to leave and eat meat) (Hook Foot takes his hand off her and leaves) (turns around and angrily walks to Rapunzel while she stretches) Okay, listen, Rapunzel, this has gone far enough. (Rapunzel turns around) Let's call it a day.
(chuckles) I will call it a day. The day I won the championship. Boom! Trash talk!
Let's see where you land after the Dead's Man Circle.
Yeah, okay, yeah. (she and Cassandra stare at each other) We'll totally see where we land after the Dead Man's Circle. And what is the Dead Man's Circle?
It's the final event. And believe me, your little dances won't save you this time.
RCRapunzel and Cassandra
Hmph! (Rapunzel and Cassandra walk away opposite directions)
This is awkward. (about Rapunzel and Cassandra's argument)
I am beginning to question their definition of VIP seating. (doesn't like his new seat and puts his foam finger on the pig and goes off it) (pig grunts) (walks to the entrance and talks to the man told him to move seats) Hello, my good man. I'd like to forgo my VIP seat and re-enter the arena.
MMan
Your ticket, please?
Seriously? (pats himself to find his ticket) Oh! Oh, oh! It's in my wallet. Which I left inside the arena. (realized he didn't take his wallet with him before leaving the arena)
MMan
Well, then you have to buy another ticket.
But because the money is also in my wallet, which is still inside the arena--
MMan
No money, no ticket, no entry. (tells Eugene that he can't enter the arena without a ticket) (children laughing) (Eugene sees a souvenir shop) (children run) (Eugene and Pascal have an idea on how to purchase another ticket) (Pascal chitters)
AAnnouncer
Time for the final event! The Dead Man's Circle! (an elderly man pushes the cart of weapons then Cass and the other competitors put their weapons into the cart) Each warrior will battle to the finish, using the weapon of their choice! (Rapunzel tries to find a weapon then she sees a frying pan and holds it) (Cassandra crack her knuckles) (Rapunzel puts her frying pan into a cart) (frying pan clanks) (Cassandra turns and sees Rapunzel)
Get your princess wigs right here! (drags a cart of Rapunzel wigs while Pascal is sitting on one) (Cass sits on a bench) (he stops pulling the cart) Wow, Rapunzel's really killin' in there, huh? I mean, these things are sellin' like hotcakes! (referring to Rapunzel wigs) (turns around and takes a wig from the cart) You know what? This one's on the house. (puts the wig on Cassandra) (leaves with the cart to sell more wigs) (Cassandra throws the wig away after Eugene leaves with the cart) (Shorty removes his Wreck Marauder mask and the Rapunzel wig lands on his hair) (the frying pan clanks when fell off the cart while an elderly man wheels the cart and walks away then Cassandra sees it on the grass)
Hey, you dropped the-- (tells the elderly man that wheels the cart but she puts it under the bench and walks to the final event)
One golden-haired wig for you! (puts the wig on the bee-beared lady) (Pascal climbs on Eugene) (her bees buzzing when she walks away) (bee-bearded lady's coins clinking when she gives Eugene her coins) (Eugene walks to the entrance again to purchase a ticket) Okay, one ticket, please. (coins clink) (the man points to the sign that says sold out) (Pascal chitters when he is holding a foam finger and a flag but dispose them when he is mad and Eugene is also dissapointed then Shorty walks by while holding a ticket)
I got one ticket. Anybody need a ticket? (Eugene turns around and tells him)
I need a ticket! (tells Shorty and gives him the coins)
Then let the bargaining begin. (Eugene and Pascal are worried about it)
[She and Eugene were running from a cloaked figure who was following them, until...] Ugh. Dead end!
Rapunzel! That vase! Now!
[Rapunzel runs into hiding as Eugene prepares to face the cloaked figure himself. But, turns out, the cloaked figure looks kind of familiar.]
[laughs] Gotcha, Rider! [removes his hood] Man, you should’ve seen your...
[Before he can finish, he was conked on the head by a vase. Turns out Rapunzel knocked him out with a vase.]
Bam! Haha! Follow that, buddy? Hmph!
You know I meant "hide in the vase", right? Princess Rapunzel, meet Lance Strongbow.
