(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)
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)
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)
(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)
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)
We have to figure out what Cassandra is planning to do with Varian and the Scroll. We're not just gonna sit by and let her ruin Eugene's birthday... anything else. (opens her bag and inside of it reveals the small box with the ring) Right? (asks Lance, Kiera, Catalina and Eugene but the four of them have their spirits broken)
Sure. Just... give me a minute.
Seriously, guys? Cass has Varian. Not to mention an incantion that can control the rocks. We have to stop her.
Uh, Princess? Were you in the same fight as us? We don't stand a chance against Cass and that unbreakable armor.
Oh, come on, Lance, she wasn't that bad.
Oh, I'm sorry. What were you doing during that fight? There was a large boulder and you were... (Pascal climbs to the top of the globe and imitates Eugene was doing at the fight) (laughing) Yeah, yeah, like that. Okay, okay. He's getting offended. (Lance notices Eugene is mad so the former stops the globe from spinning and Pascal is thrown off)
What are you laughing about? You were right there with me.
No, no, no, no, no. You're remembering it all wrong. You know, they say memory is one of the first things to go with age.
Listen, I know Cassandra's dangerous but we cannot forget she's also our friend.
Fine, there's only one big problem. We don't know where she is. (Maximus neighs)
I think we know where to look.
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)
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)
Whoa. (she, Catalina, Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal and Lance see the stronghold is much higher than the castle while Maximus searches for entrances) (she and Catalina are amazed to see the stronghold)
It's taller than the castle. (she, Kiera, Rapunzel, Eugene and Lance walk towards the stronghold)
Cass is sending me a message. (picks up part of her mural) She wants me to know that everything that once was mine will belong to her.
The only message it's sending me is "good luck climbing this". (Maximus neighs when he returns to Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Kiera, Catalina and Lance)
No entrances at the bottom, Max? (Maximus neighs) That's the closest entrance, huh?
How are we supposed to get all the way up there? (Rapunzel turns around and tells him and Eugene)
We get up there by... a lot of climbing. (Lance and Eugene are terrified then Lance walks backwards but Eugene grabs him by the back of his shirt to drag him) That's the spirit. (Lance and Eugene try to climb the stronghold The Emperor's New Groove style but failed to reach the top of it)
(strained): You want to climb like this the whole way?
(strained: Back in my day, towers were much shorter. (Lance and Eugene grunt as they fall off from both sides of the stronghold)
(uses his knife to take sap from the branch) I got a better idea. (laughs) (slathers sap to the stronghold) We'll use this sap to climb the tower. See? No slipping. (he, Rapunzel and Eugene are stuck on sap)
Uh, Lance... I can't move.
Look, no hands. (Catalina laughs) (Kiera and Catalina are on the opposite sides of Maximus) (Maximus and Pascal are going to launch Rapunzel, Lance and Eugene into the stronghold)
Eh, once you've been catapulted a few times it's not so bad.
Don't worry, Lance, it'll be all over soon. Um, the catapulting, I mean. (chuckling) Not your life.
(Lance screams) Too high!
Look at you go, Lance, you're a natural.
We're gonna make it! (Lance screaming) (Rapunzel, Lance and Eugene failed to enter the stronghold but they landed to a net) (Rapunzel grunt, sighs) Anybody else got an idea?
This is quite literally the same exact plan. (Lance, Rapunzel and Eugene screaming)
(laughing) Oh, I could watch them do this all day. (amused by the way Rapunzel, Eugene and Lance's failed attempt to reach the stronghold)
Let them in. (tells Cassandra to open the stronghold)
Defeating her isn't enough. You must take away who she is. Force her to fight you. Break her spirit. You've held back long enough. Let her in and finish this now.
(sighs) Fine. (leaves to let Rapunzel, Pascal, Eugene, Lance, Kiera, Catalina and Maximus inside the stronghold)
I'm telling you the sap thing will work. We just have to try a different trick.
Come on, Cassandra. Just let me in. (enters the stronghold alongside Pascal, Eugene, Lance, Kiera, Catalina and Maximus)
It's your birthday Eugene, so you get to decide which path to take. We're celebrating and adventuring. It's a... celebrenture!
All right, here we go. Onesie, twosie, redsie, bluesie, this one. Blondie, you and I are gonna go this way. (points to the right tunnel and leaves with Rapunzel)
And the cool kids will take this tunnel. Come on girls, you too, Max. (goes to the left tunnel with Kiera, Catalina and Maximus)
(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)
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.
"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)
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"?
So, you see, young ladies. The seasoned chef inherently knows his way around unfamiliar places. It's a keen sense one develops after years of studying one's craft and--
And we're back at the entrance.
Now, we've refamiliarized ourselves with the correct entrance, we can proceed with the correct route (Lance sighs and points to the wrong direction then he points to the right direction) (Kiera, Catalina and Maximus are annoyed with Lance after the four of them went back to the entrance) (We can proceed to the correct route. (Pascal arrived at the throne room and sees that Cassandra is nowhere to be found then he goes around the room when the coast is clear but Cassandra enters the room) (Pascal sees Cassandra but he turns invisible while she goes to her throne) (Pascal squeaks while he is invisible so Cassandra can't see him then he stops hiding from her and he uses his tongue slide across to the rocks but he continues to hide from her) (Cassandra goes to the black rock where Pascal is hiding and she removes the black rock then he waves to her before she captures him) (Pascal quiet squeak)
(realizes that Pascal didn't return) This is taking too long. I'm going up there.
Rapunzel, wait! What if you can't convince her to come back? What if the only what is to...
This is Cassandra. Not some monster. She'll come around. I have to believe that.
And if you believe it, then so do I.
