Raya and the Last Dragon (Sam the Editor's Version)/Transcript

[The film begins with the logos before cutting to a barren jungle. A statue stands in the middle of it as something rolls past it. A large rolling object rolls through a desert with a woman in a robe, straw hat and wearing a mask over her mouth and nose riding on it past old ruins and statues of people toward a river while the credit comes up: "Walt Disney Pictures presents".]

Raya: (narrating) I know what you're thinking. The leader of the squad. A dystopian world. A land that's gone to waste. Let me tell you the story of how the land was created. Once upon a time, 500 years ago, there was a world between humans and dragons called Kumandra. Our land was whole, and we lived harmoniously alongside... dragons. Magical creatures who brought us water and rain and peace. It was paradise. But then, the Druun came. A mindless plague that spread like wildfire, multiplying as they consumed life and turned everyone they touched into stone. The dragons fought for us the best they could, but it wasn't enough. That's when the Mighty Sisudatu, the last dragon, concentrated all her magic into a gem and blasted the Druun away. Everyone that was turned to stone came back. Except the dragons. All that was left of Sisu was her gem. It should have been this big inspirational moment, where humanity united over her sacrifice. But instead, people being people, they all fought to possess the last remnant of dragon magic. Borders were drawn, Kumandra divided. We all became enemies, and the gem had to be hidden. But that's not how the world broke. That didn't truly happen until 500 years later, when I came into the story. And my name is Raya.

[The scene changes to a younger Raya putting on gloves and grabbing two bo staffs which she puts on her back. She runs down the corridor but stops when she sees a bracelet shining in the moonlight. She puts it on her ponytail and tightens her face covering before whirling to look determinedly at the camera. The title comes up: "Raya and the Last Dragon". The scene changes in three split halves to reveal Raya now standing on the window ledge. She jumps on to the ground and runs toward a giant curve shaped mountain with a palace on it. Raya crept into the hallway and runs her hand across the wall. She look to see that half the wall is solid. Raya looks down to the corridor as she removes her face covering and smirks. She bends down to the floor and examines the walls. She moves her hand over one of the cobblestones in the floor which sinks into the floor, triggering a net. Raya quickly ducks out of the way.]

Raya: Hmm. Huh. Looks like someone's trying to be clever.

[She brings out her pet which is part-pill bug, part-armadillo, and part pug and taps it's shell, causing to uncurl]

Tuk Tuk: (chittering)

Raya: All right, Tuk Tuk, let's show 'em what clever really looks like.

Tuk Tuk: (chittering)

[Tuk Tuk rolls underneath the nets but stops when he sees a bug and tries follow it]

Raya: Tuk Tuk! Come on! Focus!

Tuk Tuk: (chitters)

[Tuk Tuk curls back up and continues]

Raya: Thank you.

[Tuk Tuk rolls under the final net and into the wall at the end of the corridor. He uncurls]

Raya: Hey, bud, that was awesome. Give me some shell.

[Tuk Tuk tries to high five her only to end up on his back]

Raya: (laughs as she pushes him up right again) I got ya.

[Raya studies the door and uses her stick weapons to turn unlock it. The door opens revealing a chamber within. Raya removes her shoes and follows the water, which is flowing up instead of down, up the stairs to a room where Sisu's gem is suspended in the air surrounded by a pool of water and dragon statues. Raya stares at it amazed]

Raya: Whoa.

[Raya looks around but then she becomes suspicious]

Raya: Wait a second.

[She turns to look at the chamber door]

Raya: This feels too easy.

[She turns back around see a figure in a mask, Chief Benja, her father, standing behind her on two of the stepping stones in the pool of water surrounding the gem]

Raya: Chief Benja. Look, I know it's your job to try and stop me, but you won't.

Chief Benja: Don't mistake spirit for skill, young one. I promise you will not set foot on the Dragon Gem's inner circle. Not even a toe. The first rule is, there are no rules.

Raya: You might wanna take out that blade. You're gonna need it.

Chief Benja: Not today. First one to pass the test, wins.

[Raya takes out her sticks and a fight ensues. She tries to get past Chief Benja on both sides only to be blocked both times. They clash weapons and Chief Benja manages to strike Raya. The tip of her nose barely touches the water as she gets back up and leaps at Chief Benja before their weapons clash again. Eventually, Chief Benja disarms Raya and knocks her to the ground. He aims his sword at her, looking as if he is about to deliver the killing blow. Instead, however, he boops her on the tip of her nose with it]

Chief Benja: Boop. (removing his mask) Like I said, not one foot on the inner circle. You lost, Raya.

Raya: Did I?

[She and Chief Benja look to see Raya's pinky toe is touching the edge of the inner circle. Benja smiles]

Chief Benja: (gasps) Raya... (helping her up) I probably should've said two feet.

Raya: Hey, don't beat yourself up too much, Chief Benja. You gave it your best.

Chief Benja: I won't. And it's either "Father" or "Ba" to you. You did good, dewdrop. You passed the test.

[He turns her to face the Dragon Gem which is surrounded by tiny droplets of water floating around it]

Raya: Wow. The spirit of Sisu.

[They both kneel before the gem and bow making a circle shape on their foreheads before lowering their hands]

Chief Benja: For generations, our family has sworn to protect the gem. Today, you will join that legacy. Raya, Princess of Heart, my daughter, you are now a Guardian of the Dragon Gem.

[He pours water on Raya's head which turns into droplets and flows to the gem. Raya and Benja stare at it. The next day, the sun shines over Heart and we view a variety of people making food, banners and arranging flowers in bird baths. Raya and Tuk Tuk catch up with Benja in the corridor as Raya performs karate moves]

Benja: (chuckles) Well, someone's excited.

Raya: Well, yeah! I mean, anyone hoping to steal the Dragon Gem now has to face the fury of the two baddest blades in all the lands.

Benja: I'm glad you feel prepared, dewdrop, because I have something important to tell you. The other lands, they're on their way here, as we speak.

Raya: They are? Uh... Okay. Okay, no, we can do this. I'm ready. I know exactly how we'll stop them.

Benja: Really? Tell me what you know about the other lands.

Raya: First... Tail. A sweltering desert with sneaky mercenaries who fight dirty. Second, Talon. A floating market famous for fast deals and fighters with even faster hands. Third, Spine. A frigid bamboo forest guarded by exceptionally large warriors, and their giant axes. Fourth, Fang. Our fiercest enemy. A nation protected by angry assassins, and their even angrier cats.

Cat: (hisses)

Tuk Tuk: (chitters)

Raya: Okay, so we're gonna need some crossbows and catapults and... Ooh! What about flaming catapults?

Benja: Or, how about shrimp paste from Tail, lemongrass from Talon, bamboo shoots from Spine, chilis from Fang and palm sugar from Heart?

Raya: We'll poison them?

Benja: (chuckles) No, we're not going to poison them and we're not going to fight them. We're going to share a meal with them.

Raya: (scoffs) Wait, what?

Benja: I invited them.

Raya: But they're our enemies.

Benja: They're only our enemies because they think the Dragon Gem magically brings us prosperity.

Raya: That's ridiculous. It doesn't do that.

Benja: They assume it does, just like we assume things about them. Raya, there's a reason why each land is named after a part of the dragon. We were once unified. Harmoniously as one. Kumandra.

Raya: That's ancient history, Ba.

Benja: But it doesn't have to be. Listen, if we don't stop and learn to trust one another again, it's only a matter of time before we tear each other apart. This isn't the world I want you to live in. I believe that we can be Kumandra again. But someone has to take the first step. Trust me.

Raya: All right, Ba. That actually sounds usual.

[Benja looks at the window as Raya takes what he says into consideration. Later, the other lands stand together in silence all glaring in suspicion, making Raya uncomfortable]

Narrator: All the other lands came to the feast. Even the quartet of the tribe chiefs who sought to foster peace and goodwill.

Raya: Things look a little tense, Ba.

Benja: Don't worry, I'm gonna open with a joke.

Raya: Please don't.

Benja: (chuckles) I'm kidding, I'm kidding. (inhales, to the other lands) People of Tail, Talon, Spine, and Fang, welcome to Heart. For far too long, we have been enemies, but today is a new day. Today, we can be Kumandra once more.

Tail Chief: (while she claps slowly) Nice speech, Chief Benja. But why'd you really bring us here? Are you gonna rob us?

Talon Chief: Why would he need to rob us? The land of Heart already has everything.

Spine Chief: Oh, it's easy to pontificate on Kumandra when you hold the mightiest weapon in all the lands.

Benja: The gem's not a weapon. It's a sacred relic.

Raya: (waves her hand) Hello.

Spine Chief: Oh. (salutes to Raya) Greetings, Princess Raya. I'm Chief Yen of the Spine tribe.

Talon Chief: (salutes to Raya) I'm Chief Dang Hai of the Talon tribe, good princess.

Tail Chief: (salutes to Raya) And I'm Chief Xian of the Tail tribe, Princess Raya of Heart.

Raya: (whispers to Benja) They bring gifts for me.

Spine Chief: (chortles) These are not just any gifts.

Talon Chief: For, you see, we're warriors.

Tail Chief: And very good with people.

Benja: So, Raya, who would you prefer to choose?

Raya: Hmm. Let me see. Oh, I know. I'll choose the princess of Fang who has the same age as me.

Namaari: (chuckles softly)

Talon Chief: (sighs deeply) Very well. Chief Benja shall grant you Namaari, the princess of Fang.

Virana: (whispers) Come on. Let's go see them.

[Raya and Benja approach Namaari and Virana while the other lands mutter angrily.]

Spine Chief: Settle down, now, everyone. Let's not get angry on the feast. Let's all be happy, polite, faithful and delightful.

[The other lands stop muttering.]

Namaari: Hello. I'm called Namaari of Fang. And this is my mother, Virana.

Raya: Hello. I'm called Raya of Heart. And this is my father, Benja.

[Raya and Namaari giggle.]

Raya: I see you're wearing a Sisu pendant.

Namaari: Of course.

Benja: Greetings, Chief Virana. I'm Chief Benja of the Heart tribe.

Virana: Benja. I love that name. I'm Chief Virana of the Fang tribe, and I'm your new step wife.

Benja: Extraordinary. I have a new step wife. You have a husband?

Virana: Yes. When Namaari was six, my husband recently died from an illness.

Benja: My wife, too. She had a hunting accident when Raya was six. (Virana chuckles) My new step wife and I have agreed. Let's all have a feast.

Raya: That's right, Namaari. Come, have you eaten yet? (gives Namaari a piggyback ride) Wow. You weigh lightly. We have rice, meat, spring rolls, fish and soup.

Namaari: Wow.

[Raya takes Namaari to the throne room. At the throne room, Raya and Namaari talk and have lunch while Benja and Virana bake a cake for Raya. As the festivities are underway, Tuk Tuk climbs onto the plate as he attempts to eat a skewer of fish, but Namaari grabs it then Tuk Tuk grumbles.]

Raya: (laughs) Seriously? Your mom actually said that? Awkward. Okay, next question. Hand-to-hand or swords?

Namaari: Blades all day.

Raya: Right?

Namaari: (chuckles) Okay, dressy or casual?

Raya: Only a monster would choose to wear this outfit on the regular.

Narmaari: (laughs)

Raya: Uh, rice or stew?

[Namaari looks down at the two dishes]

Raya: I didn’t think that’d stump you.

Namaari: Uh… This is actually one of the first times I’ve had rice in awhile.

Raya: Really?

Namaari: Fang may look nice on the outside, but we have some pretty big holes on the inside.

Raya: Oh.

Namaari: Sorry. Didn’t mean to bring it down. So, where were we? We both have single parents who are terrible at telling jokes. We’re both warrior women who despise uncomfortable formal wear.

Raya: And we’re both Sisu superfans.

Namaari: (laughs) Yeah. You know, Fang legend says she’s still out there.

Raya: Sisu? You’re kidding, right?

Namaari: (taking out a folded up scroll) Wanna see something?

Raya: (gasps, whispering) Are you supposed to have that?

Namaari: (scoffs) No. According to this, after the Mighty Sisu blasted away all the Druun, she fell into the water and floated downstream. Legends say she’s now sleeping at the river’s end.

Tuk Tuk: (chitters)

Raya: But which river? There’s, like, hundreds.

Namaari: I don’t know. But if we could find it, could you imagine? A dragon back in the world. Things could be so much better.

[Raya looks at her father who talking to the servants and guests]

Raya: Yeah. Maybe we really could be Kumandra again.

[Namaari takes off her dragon pendant and gives it to Raya]

Namaari: Here.

Raya: Whoa. Really?

Namaari: From one dragon nerd to another.

Raya: Thanks, dep la. Oh, there's something I'd like to show you. I present to you my nicest pet in Kumandra. (shows Tuk Tuk to Namaari) Ta-da. Namaari of Fang, I introduce you to Tuk Tuk. Tuk Tuk, say hello to Namaari of Fang.

Tuk Tuk: (trills softly)

Namaari: (gasps) Aw, look at him. He looks adorable.

Raya: (giggles) Yeah, I know.

Namaari: That was really nice of you presenting Tuk Tuk to me. Oh, and I have a nice pet like yours. (makes kissing noises) Buwan, come here.

[Buwan approaches Namaari and Namaari picks him up.]

Namaari: This is Buwan, my serlot kitten. He'll be a trained warrior cat. I hope he loves your pet.

Buwan: (meows and looks at Tuk Tuk)

Tuk Tuk: (trills excitedly and Buwan hops onto his back)

Raya: (puts Tuk Tuk to the floor as he and Buwan get along) Aw, look at that. They've become furry buddies.

Namaari: I know, dep la. You've been very useful. You know, in a different world, I think we'll be best friends from now on. But I wouldn't probably say lovers.

Raya: Oh. Well, that's good to hear.

Benja: Chief Yen, Chief Virana, Chief Xian and Dang Hai, thank you for accepting my invitation. I'm glad you love lots of food.

Virana: My pleasure, Chief Benja.

Spine Chief: You know, I have to admit, the palace seems great.

Benja: I'm glad you love it.

Tail Chief: It's a good thing we always love feasts.

Dang Hai: Yes, we do.

Spine Chief: (to Raya) Come, Raya, we should all go to the temple. Just you, me, Namaari, your father, Chief Virana, Dang Hai and Chief Xian.

[Raya, Namaari, Benja, Virana, Spine Chief, Talon Chief and Tail Chief walk to the temple as they enter and look at the Dragon Gem.]

Namaari: (whispers) Wow. The presence of Sisu. (salutes) We could feel it.

Spine Chief: Princess Raya, I wish for you the gift of beauty. (kisses Raya's hand)

Talon Chief: Sweet princess, my gift for you shall be that you'd have strength, unity, faith, courage, honor, and clarity.

Tail Chief: Raya of Heart, my wish shall be that you'd be the bravest warrior of Kumandra.

Virana: Dear Raya, my wish for you shall be...

[Suddenly, the ground cracks in a circle and makes a hole.]

Spine Chief: Something's happening.

Benja: Prepare for battle!

[The warriors draw weapons and grunt in unison. A glowing purple appears and the blast hit the warriors and they stand up.]

Dang Hai: To your positions!

Tail Chief: Make ready!

[The Druun appear as humanoids with wings, sharp teeth, and eyes glowing purple. Chen hops out of the hole and lands on the ground.]

Virana: Druun? It can't be.

Chen: Hello, Chief Benja. I am called Chen, the Druun conqueror. I have come to enlighten you to the great darkness. I will turn you and your people to stone. Before the Druun attack the Fang tribe, Raya shall reassemble the dragon gem and give Namaari the kiss of true love.

Benja: Tribes of Kumandra, show him your fear!

Tribes: We have no fear!

[Atitaya shoots a Druun humanoid with a crossbow. The tribes fight the Druun humanoids.]

Raya: Ba, we must take the gem so we have to evacuate!

Tail Chief: We'll hold them off!

[The warriors of Spine and Tail restrain Chen who reaches for the gem, but Benja uses the lasso to grab the gem and pull it as Benja catches the gem.]

Chen: No!

Benja: Got it!

Spine Chief: Run, Chief Benja! Run! Run!

[Chen growls angrily and pushes the warriors out of the way while the tribes run away. Outside at Heart, the tribes still run away and retreat to their homelands.]

Benja: We'll be able to get out of here in no time, dewdrop!

[Chen shoots Benja's knee with an arrow as Benja lets the gem slip through his fingers and the gem breaks into five shards.]

Benja: (grunts painfully)

Raya: Ba!

Virana, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Namaari: Chief Benja!

Benja: The gem!

Raya, Namaari, Virana, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai: No!

Spine Chief: Raya. pick up the shards and give them to us! Quickly!

Raya: Okay! (quickly gives each shard to the Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai and Virana) One! Two! Three! Four! (picks up one shard) And five!

Chen: Oh, Chief Benja. Why do you fight? The gem has been shattered. You can't save the people of Heart. The great darkness begins. (to the Druun humanoid) Yes, we will find the perfect spot.

[Chen flies to the forest.]

Raya: Ba, come on! We have to go!

Benja: I can't. I'm wounded. I want you to find Sisu at the last river in Tail. Tell her the Druun have returned.

Namaari: Don't worry, Raya. You'll write letters to me when the time comes. (hugs Raya) Take care.

Virana: Morning mist, come on!

Namaari: Coming, mother! Come on, Buwan!

[Namaari, Virana, Buwan and the rest of the Fang tribe retreat to Fang. Tuk Tuk crawls up and onto Raya's shoulder.]

Benja: (kisses Raya's forehead) I love you, my dewdrop. Take up my sword. (Raya takes up his sword) Goodbye.

Raya: Goodbye, Ba.

Spine Chief: Hey, wait for us!

[Benja throws Raya into the river as the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai dive into the river. A Druun humanoid turns Benja to stone. Raya comes out of the water and swims to Tail as the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai follow her.]

Spine Chief: Come on, we must swim to Tail so we should be safe.

[The scene goes to the shore at Tail as the text comes up "Tail". Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai and Tail Chief walk on shore.]

Spine Chief: I'm really sorry for your father, Raya. We'll build a hut.

[The scene goes to the forest as the portal opens and Chen lands on the ground.]

Chen: It's deserted. That's good.

[Chen uses his hands to build the base with the hole as he grabs a Druun humanoid's neck and throws it as they fly.]

Chen: Go! Follow the presence of Sisudatu. Find the missing shards. Once they are found, the gem will be reassembled. This world will join the others. He will be pleased. He will see my worth again.

Raya: (narrating) Chen ordered his army to find every shard of the gem as they search far and wide. But the Tail Chief built a bridge and traps at her own kingdom that Tail might never suffer starvation and death. Secretly, I formed a squad of my own called the Dragon Searchers who would search for Sisudatu wherever she lived while I wrote letters to Namaari as Fang would bring more food when Tail ran out of food supply. And Chen reveled in the sorrow that his curse had brought. Yen the Spine Chief, Xian the Tail Chief and Dang Hai the Talon Chief began their charge to raise me in Tail after they've built a hut made out of concrete and bricks.

[The scene goes to Tail as the hut appears with chimney.]

Tail Chief: There. I've built the hut made of concrete and bricks.

Spine Chief: Looks good to me.

Dang Hai: Let's move.

Tail Chief: (her stomach rumbles and she moans) I'm still hungry. Good thing I have leftovers from Heart. (holds up a leftover fish and takes a bite into it) Mm. Fishy. (swallows and belches) Pardon me. Now, there'll be no questions asked. We're all safe from the Druun humanoids, we're the three chiefs of Kumandra raising the princess of Heart in the desert.

Dang Hai: Yes.

Spine Chief: So, uh, we'll be able to find the scroll in Fang that Namaari showed you.

Raya: Are you sure?

Spine Chief: Yes, I'm sure. And we'll be safe from harm.

Tail Chief: Safe from harm, wow.

Spine Chief: Yes, you heard me.

Dang Hai: It's in the middle of the desert.

Tail Chief: At least no one will find us here.

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai enter the hut as Tuk Tuk trills when all alone. Tail Chief opens the door and picks up Tuk Tuk.]

Tail Chief: There you are. Why are you always hiding? Come on. There you go.

[Tail Chief reenters the hut and closes the door. The scene goes to Chen's base as the Druun humanoids chitter.]

Chen: Khan, Khan! I call to thee.

[Khan appears in water.]

Khan: Chen, do you have any news for me?

Chen: Raya lives in Tail with the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief as they've begun to raise her.

Khan: Good.

Chen: I will find every gem shard until Kumandra is on its knees, and then the last dragon will be mine to kill. The tribes of Kumandra will be turned to stone.

Khan: You have proved useful, warlord.

Chen: (points his sword at Khan) Not warlord. Conqueror. (breathes heavily) I could slash you to pieces before you blink. (lowers his sword)

Khan: But you won't. Remember what you want, a place where your powers will not be vilified. A place where you are accepted for who you are. You won't get what you want without me. Mighty Chen, who might have sat here by the side of the dark dragon. But undone by his self-pride.

Chen: Khan. I fall before you. (kneels down to Khan) Let me make a plea to him that I may come home after I take the five gem shards in his name.

Khan: You betrayed him! Your own family.

Chen: I saw my mistake! I slaughtered those who sought his throne!

Khan: When I found you slaughtering your own family, you were exiled. A scorned dog. When you kill the last dragon, you will rule all of Kumandra. (chuckles) You still owe the dark dragon the five dragon gem shards. He will hear your plea when you pay your debt.

Chen: Then the dragon gem shards will be completely reassembled. No more tribes here. No more humans. No more dragons. Kumandra will fall, like all the Druun did.

Khan: For Quynh. (vanishes in water)

Chen: For Quynh.

(The scene fades up to Tail as Raya rides to the hut with Tuk Tuk while the text comes up: "Six Years Later". Raya draws her sword and has arrived at the hut. The door opens as the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai come out.)

Raya: (narrating) As Namaari had said, I did grow up to be the leader as I gave her permission to share the scroll. The Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief opened the door and met me for the first time when I returned.

Spine Chief: Welcome back, Raya. You brought the scroll to us?

Raya: Yes. I just asked Namaari's permission to share.

Spine Chief: Excellent.

Tail Chief: Now that you've brought us the scroll that Namaari showed you, we'll be able to find the end of the last river in Tail.

Raya: Yes, Chief Xian. Let's go find the old shipwreck.

(The scene goes to Raya who rides on Tuk Tuk to the end of the last river as the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai follow her until they have arrived.)

Spine Chief: Well, here we are. The old shipwreck.

Dang Hai: Looks like Sisu recently has a 500 year hiatus.

Tail Chief: Once we summon almighty Sisudatu, we'd be absolutely grateful to tell her everything. (sees a Druun humanoid incoming) Watch out! (decapitates a Druun humanoid) Damn, I always love to decapitate humanoids. Strange. There's no blood. It's just... water every time they've been killed or dead.

Spine Chief: You're telling me, Xian. I actually have such a very bad feeling about this.

Dang Hai: Me too. I think we better go in there and summon Sisu.

Raya: Good idea. (Tuk Tuk looks at the water and attempts to lick) Tuk Tuk! Listen, just focus. We're gonna find Sisu.

Tuk Tuk: (grunts)

[At the shipwreck, Raya rides on Tuk Tuk as he rolls to the old shipwreck and the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai follow her lead. They have arrived as Raya hops off and looks at the map as she draws a circle.]

Raya: This is the place.

Spine Chief: Yes, it is.

Dang Hai: This is where Sisu fell a long dormant after she defeated the Druun.

Tail Chief: Yes, I know. This must be the place where Sisu falls into a deep sleep.

Spine Chief: We better get inside.

Raya: As you all wish. Stay here, Tuk Tuk. Shouldn't take too long.

Tuk Tuk: (whines)

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai enter the shipwreck as Raya puts the dragon pendant on top of a grail and unrolls the scroll.]

Raya: Almighty Sisu, my name is Raya, daughter of Chief Benja of the Heart tribe. I have come to wake you up as I had to find you for six years. I've been raised by Chief Yen of Spine, Chief Xian of Tail, and Chief Dang Hai of Talon. (cries softly) I lost my father to the Druun humanoid. I was heartbroken when I fell into the river. And now, I want you to return to us.

[Raya pours a droplet into the grail and summons Sisu by chanting spell in Filipino. The droplets float and the smoke appears and awakes Sisu.]

Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai: (saluting to Sisu) Almighty Sisu!

Sisu: Huh? Who said that? (her tail slams into Raya) Hello? Who woke me up? Pengu? Pranee? Anybody home?

Raya: (muffled) Your tail's on my face.

Sisu: Oh! (laughs) Sorry about that. (picks up Raya) Hello. I'm Sisudatu. And who might you be?

Raya: (coughs) I'm Raya, daughter of Chief Benja.

Sisu: Hmm. I see you woke me up. Are those your friends?

Raya: Yes, they raise me like benevolent figures. Their names are Yen, Xian and Dang Hai.

Sisu: Oh. Hey there. I never saw you before.

Spine Chief: (chuckles) Yes, I guess you're the water dragon, aren't you?

Sisu: I most certainly am.

Spine Chief: She sure is the water dragon.

Tail Chief: Oh, I'm really happy you're back from being asleep! (shakes her hand with Sisu)

Sisu: Thank you all for discovering me.

Dang Hai: Say, you concentrated your magic into the gem, right?

Sisu: Yes, but... I'm not exactly the best dragon.

Dang Hai: Oh. I see what you mean.

Sisu: I think the gem was created by my siblings.

Raya: You have siblings?

Sisu: Yeah, I have four of them. Two brothers, Pengu and Jagan. And two sisters, Pranee and Amba.

Raya: Wow. She has four.

Spine Chief: How convincing.

Raya: I have something to tell you.

Sisu: Really? What is it?

Raya: When I was 12 years old, I think Chen the Druun conqueror had emerged from the temple in Heart and shot my father's knee with an arrow, breaking the gem to five shards.

Sisu: (shouts) Chen broke the gem? That's impossible!

Tail Chief: Yes, I know! It's also terrible what Chen did to Chief Benja.

Raya: And look at the scroll. You blasted the Druun away 500 years ago.

Sisu: Oh, so that's how I precisely did it. And I also banished the dark dragon named Quynh.

Raya: You know Quynh?

Sisu: Yes.

Raya: That's ironic.

Sisu: I know it's ironic, though. (glows) Hey, what's that? I'm glowing. (picks up a gem shard) I see you have four chunks of the gem with sizes. And what do we have here? (picks up a jackfruit jerky and bites into it) Mm. I think it tastes crunchy and fruity.

Spine Chief: Yes, I believe it's actually called jackfruit jerky, which Tuk Tuk doesn't like it.

Sisu: Hmm. Another one. (picks up another gem shard and shapeshifts into a human) Wait. What just happened? (gasps) Holy hot damn. I just shape changed! I have hands, teeth, hair and feet! And look how close my butt is to my head!

Spine Chief: (snickers) I'm sorry, I'm just too childish to laugh about it.

Sisu: Oh, you'll laugh, Yen. It's gonna make my digestion so much faster.

Spine Chief: (laughs) Very good.

Raya: Wait. Of course! I have an idea! We'll reassemble the gem when we get to Fang with the help of my new friends.

Raya and Sisu: And boom the Druun away!

Spine Chief: Yes! We can blast the Druun away! Come on, let's go find Captain Boun. But first, we're gonna put Sisu in disguise.

[The scene fades up to the cliff as the puddle sloshes and Namaari, now 18 years old, hops off Buwan and touches it.]

Namaari: (sniffs) Hmm. She's here. (whispers) I smell Sisu.

[Namaari walks to the cliff and sees the shipwreck.]

Wahn: (approaches Namaari) Princess Namaari, Raya has summoned Sisudatu, the last dragon. The daughter of Chief Benja could be everywhere. I'm sure we'll be able to make her hand over the scroll, so I have a question. Why do you keep calling Raya dep la?

[Namaari attacks Wahn to the ground.]

Wahn: (groans and coughs)

Namaari: Anyone else wanna question why we're out here?

[The serlots whimper and step back a little further.]

Namaari: Good. We'll go down to the shipwreck and meet Raya just in no time flat. Let's move!

[Namaari hops on Buwan as they ride to the shipwreck. At the shipwreck, Sisu, in her dragon form, wears a hat and a red gown.]

Sisu: Uh, everyone, I'm actually sure this was such a good idea wearing a disguise.

Spine Chief: Don't worry. It's perfectly safe.

[Suddenly, a beetle flies and lands on Sisu's nose.]

Sisu: I say. (picks up a beetle) Damn, that beetle has an ass.

Tail Chief: I truly believe that they're called toot 'n boom.

Sisu: Really?

[A beetle toots and explodes.]

Spine Chief: (sniffs) Ugh! What is that smell? Oh, yes, I could definitely smell the big whopping stench of failure. (coughs)

Raya: Listen, as long as you're wearing it, nothing could go wrong when those binturis arrive. (chuckles)

Namaari: Binturi? That's not a very nice way to describe an old friend. What's drippin', dep la?

Raya: Namaari. Wow, you look great. What's it been, like, six years?

Namaari: Yes, six years, thank you very much for beginning to write letters. I heard that you've made a friend. You know, Raya, I really thought that you were gonna become a cat lady. (smirks) Like me.

[Buwan and Tai growl and walk over to Namaari.]

Buwan: (purrs and rubs his head on Namaari's hand)

Namaari: So, what have you been up to anyway? Traveling to Fang to reclaim the fifth shard?

Raya: Actually, yeah. With the help of my squad and new friends.

Namaari: I see. (puts her left hand on Buwan while she spins her sword with her right hand) Will you give the scroll to me? Because someone stole it from me.

Raya: Oh, is that why you're chasing me? (tosses the scroll to Namaari who returns her sword) And here I thought it was because you missed me.

Spine Chief: You think she cares about Sisu?

Raya: (chuckles) I would say yes.

Namaari: Hmm. I would say I do care. Even if you could possibly imagine taking the fifth shard.

Atitaya: Princess Namaari, I see something moving.

Namaari: Hmm. I see what happens. Wahn, Atitaya. Bring them to me.

Wahn and Atitaya: Yes, Princess Namaari.

(Wahn and Atitaya are about to restrain Raya as Raya thinks and has an idea.)

Raya: Dinnertime! (echoes)

Namaari: What? It's like three o'clock in the afternoon. Why would you yell "dinner"?

[Tuk Tuk rolls into Namaari, Buwan and Tai as the Fang soldiers, Wahn and Atitaya take cover.]

Raya: Come on! (grabs Sisu)

[Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, and Dang Hai hop on Tuk Tuk as they ride to the Shrimporium.]

Sisu: Who are those people?

Raya: The Fang tribe. They want to take me safely.

Spine Chief: But why would Fang want to take you?

Raya: Because they have to and they're the baddies.

Spine Chief: Oh, I see what you're saying.

Tail Chief: (sees Namaari and her generals on their serlots) They're following us!

Raya: (sees a net with fishes) Stay here. I have an idea.

[Raya stands up, jumps off Tuk Tuk and grabs the pole as the fish fly out of the net and land on the ground. Raya jumps on Tuk Tuk as Buwan growls as he sees fresh fish, meows and eats a fish while the serlots eat the fishes.]

Namaari: Ugh! What the binturi are you doing? Let go!

[A fish slaps Namaari's face with its tail. They have arrived at the well.]

Raya: There, in that well. Jump in!

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai jump into the well as her whip sword impales the ground as the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai hold onto Raya.]

Sisu: Uh, Raya?

Raya: Catch!

[Sisu catches the gem and turns into a human again. They climb out of the well and Sisu in her human form.]

Raya: Sisu?

Sisu: (laughs) Shapechange power! It's back!

Spine Chief: (chuckles and hears Buwan growl) Oh, dear.

Namaari: There they are!

Raya: Hmm. (sees Boun's boat) Come on, let's go! (takes Sisu's hand)

Tuk Tuk: (groans)

[Raya, Tuk Tuk, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai run to Boun's boat. Tail Chief opens a jar of beetles.]

Tail Chief: This'll slow them down.

[The beetles land on the ground and Raya, Sisu, Tuk Tuk, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief run onboard. Boun opens the hatch and climbs out of Shrimporium.]

Boun: Raya, welcome back. Glad you could drop in. I see you've made a new friend. (salutes to Sisu) Greetings, Almighty Sisu.

Spine Chief: Xian, why'd you open a jar of toot 'n boom beetles?

Tail Chief: Because it'll work, that's all.

Spine Chief: Oh, right. Good guess.

Boun: So, how can I help you today?

Raya: Boun, I need you to take us to Talon.

Boun: Oh, yes! Talon it is! Let's go.

[Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai sit down as Boun runs quick as a flash and places six cups on the table.]

Tail Chief: Man, I'm as thirsty as an animal. Bring on the water.

Spine Chief: Yep, bring on the water. (sees Namaari and her generals on serlots) Sisu!

Sisu: Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.

[Sisu jumps into the water, turns back into a dragon, crawls under Boun's boat and swims to push the boat to Talon.]

Boun: Whoa! What's happening?

Dang Hai: We're moving.

[Raya smirks and stands up as she sees Namaari and her generals on their serlots who growl.]

Raya: (blows kiss at Namaari)

Namaari: (sighs happily)

Atitaya: Princess, she just blew a kiss at you.

Namaari: Yes, I know, Atitaya. We better ride back to Fang and tell my mother, Virana.

[Buwan growls as Namaari and her generals ride back to Fang. At the river, Boun's boat stops and Sisu climbs up, shakes the water off and turns back into human.]

Sisu: Man, is the water warm.

Boun: Yes, it is. I just made you congee. It has shrimp, green onions and crispy onions. Would you like some?

Sisu: Yes, Captain Boun. I would absolutely like some.

Boun: Then have a nice congee.

Sisu: Thanks. (sits down, picks up a spoon and bites into congee with shrimp) Hmm. This actually tastes great.

Boun: It does? Wow. I'm glad you like it.

Sisu: Thanks again.

Boun: No problem.

Dang Hai: Wow. How incredible was that? Traveling to Talon, my homeland.

Raya: I know. It's also exciting. And we'll be able to hire a con baby and her triplet companions in no time.

Dang Hai: Yes, we will. Oh, you should meet my friend, Chai. He's the flower man. Even my mother, Dang Hu. They'll be expecting you.

Spine Chief: Yep, they'll also be very happy to know all about Sisu.

Raya: Yes, Yen. They sure will.

Tail Chief: Well, it's a good thing I always use a napkin. (wipes the congee off her face with a napkin)

Raya: (bites into a jackfruit jerky) You're telling me, Xian. I'm glad we're moving to Fang to reclaim the fifth shard.

Spine Chief: Yes. We'll get to Fang and retrieve the fifth shard.

Tail Chief: I'll agree to that.

Dang Hai: Me too.

Boun: (chuckles) I know it's perfect, but it's true. I love traveling to different tribes.

Sisu: Right. I got the point.

Spine Chief: Thanks.

[The scene goes to the dragon graveyard as Namaari, Wahn, Atitaya and the soldiers ride on their serlots to Spine.]

Wahn: Look at this. The dragon graveyard.

Namaari: I know.

Atitaya: That's a lot of dragons.

Namaari: Yes, it is.

Wahn: So, that's where we go to Spine, Princess.

Namaari: Yes, I know. We're all going there before Chen does. We must get there quickly. Oh, and I forgot to mention something. (salutes to Wahn, Atitaya and the soldiers) You two, follow me. The rest of you, spread out.

[Wahn and Atitaya follow Namaari. The scene goes to Tail as the Druun humanoids investigate three Tail citizens and three Tail soldiers. They whimper as Chen approches one of the soldiers, takes off the soldier's helmet, crushes it, throws it and grabs his neck.]

Chen: You have been near the dragon gem. The pieces are on you. Where are they?

Tail Soldier: (grunts) We've been protected by Raya and her friends for six years who use the gem shards.

Chen: (growls and throws a Tail soldier to the rock)

Tail Soldier: (groans in pain) Our people were suffering from hunger and devastation.

Chen: Tell me where the pieces are.

Tail Soldier: I will never betray my own people.

Chen: You already have. (cracks his neck) Turn them all to stone.

[The Druun humanoids turn three Tail citizens and soldiers to stone. Quynh chuckles evilly. The scene goes to Talon as text comes up: "Talon". Boun's boat parks at one of the docks. Raya, Tuk Tuk, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai and Sisu walk out of the boat as walk around in Talon.]

Dang Hai: Welcome to Talon, my humble homeland.

Sisu: Wow. This place is amazing.

Spine Chief: Yeah, it is, Sisu.

Dang Hu: Dang Hai.

Dang Hai: Mother.

[Dang Hu and Dang Hai hug.]

Dang Hu: Welcome back. How's my favorite son doing?

Dang Hai: So far, so good. We're here to find a con baby named Noi and her trio of monkey-like companions Ongis.

Dang Hu: Oh, right, follow me please.

[Raya, Dang Hai, Spine Chief, Tuk Tuk, and Tail Chief follow Dang Hu to Noi while Sisu goes out to find Chai.]

Sisu: All right. Looks like I'm gonna go buy a new set of clothes for me. Oh, wait. Do I have any money? No, I don't.

[The scene goes to Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Dang Hu, Tuk Tuk and Tail Chief as they discover Noi who sits on the floor while she calls out.]

Raya: Hey, look. It's a baby.

Tail Chief: Oh, I love babies.

Dang Hu: Of course we do, Xian.

Spine Chief: All right, Raya and I will talk to Noi while you two stay here and look for Tuk Tuk.

Dang Hai and Tail Chief: Yes, Yen.

[Raya and Spine Chief go over to Noi as she picks her up.]

Raya: Hello, Noi. I'm Raya, daughter of Chief Benja of Heart, and that's Chief Yen of Spine, Chief Xian of Tail, Chief Dang Hai of Talon and his mother, Dang Hu. Did you lose your mother to the Druun? (Noi nods her head) Oh, that's too bad. But don't worry. We'll bring your mother back as long as we reassemble the gem.

[The Ongis climb down as they see Tuk Tuk and show him three mangos.]

Spine Chief: You know, Raya, she doesn't look that bad for a baby who lost her mother. It's such a quality establishment that nothing probably happens when the gem shards are apparently stolen by...

[Raya and Spine Chief see the Ongis steal the four shards.]

Raya and Spine Chief: What? The Ongis? (Uka chitters) No. No, don't do it!

[The Ongis run away as Noi pulls down Raya's hat and kicks her to the floor then Spine Chief stops Noi.]

Spine Chief: Be honest. My friends and I came on too strong, didn't we?

[Noi kicks Spine Chief's leg and runs off with the Ongis. Spine Chief groans in pain.]

Raya: (groans and stands up) A con baby? Really?

Spine Chief: Come on, we must take the shards from them!

Raya: (shakes it off) All right.

[Raya and Spine Chief chase after Noi and the Ongis. Noi hops on Dyan as they climb on walls and jump from house to house.]

Spine Chief: We can't let them get loose. We must capture them with the net.

Raya: Good idea.

[Raya jumps on the boat while the Spine Chief still runs. In slow motion, Noi and the Ongis jumps across the bridge as she waves her hand at Raya. In normal speed, Raya jumps on the floor and chases after Noi. Noi and the Ongis continue to run and hop onto the small hole. Noi pulls down her bottomwear, moons Raya, pulls back up and hops out of the small hole. Raya goes through the small hole and continues to chase after Noi and the Ongis. Spine Chief catches Noi and the Ongis with the net.]

Spine Chief: Hello. Relax and enjoy the net. Hey, you'll be looking at Raya who comes to hire you all. (laughs)

[Raya goes over to the Spine Chief.]

Raya: Yen, where have you been?

Spine Chief: Actually, I've been to the shop to buy the net. See? (shows Raya the net)

Raya: Hmm. Very interesting. Did you buy it?

Spine Chief: Actually, yes, I did. So I have to capture Noi and her companions.

Raya: Wow, that was quick. Good catch.

Spine Chief: Thanks, Raya.

(Noi and the Ongis climb out of the net.)

Raya: Listen, Noi. We just came in peace. Will you help us reassemble the gem? (Noi smiles and nods her head) Good girl. We'll get to the Fang tribe someday. (boops Noi's nose with a finger) Boop.

Noi: (chuckles and hugs Raya face)

Raya: Aw, shucks.

Sisu: Hey, there. Did I miss anything?

Spine Chief: Ah, I'm sure you did, apparently. And look who I found. Noi and her Ongis.

Sisu: Oh. Hello. I'm Sisudatu, the last dragon. You can call me Sisu.

Noi: Sisu? (feels Sisu's face and laughs)

Sisu: Wow, the baby really loves us.

Raya: Yes, she does.

Dang Hai: I'll tell you what. Maybe you and I will have a nice talk to Chai. He's a good friend of mine and also a flower man.

Raya: Oh, yes. Chai sure looks good.

Dang Hai: Then let's go find him.

[Raya and Dang Hai walk over to Chai as they enter Chai's place.]

Chai: Oh. Hello. Look who's here to see me. Raya and my good old friend Dang Hai.

Raya and Dang Hai: Hey, Chai.

Chai: I just heard that you hired Noi and the Ongis to help you reassemble the gem as you reclaim the fifth gem shard. (chuckles) I must say, you're really the greatest chief Kumandra ever has.

Dang Hai: Aw, thanks. I thought so too. You're the good flower man.

Chai: Thanks, Dang Hai. Glad you'd say those nicest things.

Dang Hai: Don't mention it.

Chai: Tell me more, Raya.

Raya: Well, I think the moral lesson of the story is, you know, always to look for each other.

Chai: Oh, yes, that's right. We always look out for each other. Take care, Raya. Good luck with discovering the other people.

Raya: Thanks, Chai. Be there at Heart when I reassemble the gem.

Chai: I'll be there.

Raya and Dang Hai: Bye.

Chai: Bye.

[Raya and Dang Hai exit Chai's place. The scene goes to Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Noi, the Ongis, and Sisu who stand at the front door at Chai's place.]

Spine Chief: Raya should come out by now.

Sisu: Tell me about it.

[Raya and Dang Hai come out of Chai's place.]

Raya: We're back.

Spine Chief: Oh, thank goodness you're back.

Raya: So, where has Sisu been?

Spine Chief: Apparently, she went to buy new clothes for herself.

Raya: Oh, I see.

Tail Chief: You know, just because a dragon turns into a human, doesn't mean she has to buy clothes.

[The scene goes to a Druun humanoid who lands on top of the gateway, looks through the binoculars and sees Raya who shakes hands with Sisu and he puts the binoculars down and goes behind statues of people. The scene goes to Dang Hu who shows Raya, Sisu, Dang Hai, Spine Chief and Tail Chief the gateway.]

Dang Hu: I can't thank you enough for hiring the con baby and the Ongis, Raya. Did you also know that the Ongis has nine stomachs?

Raya: No.

Dang Hu: Because they always eat, that's all.

Raya: Oh.

Dang Hai: I never knew that the Ongis has nine stomachs.

Spine Chief: Wow. How sentimental.

Dang Hu: Yes, it's sentimental, though. Here we are, everyone. The gateway. Have a nice journey. (leaves)

Dang Hai: We will, mother.

Tail Chief: All right. Let's open the gateway and see what's left.

[Tail Chief opens the door and sees statues of people.]

Tail Chief: Huh. I never knew there were actually a few statues of people.

Spine Chief: Dang Hai, make sure to tell Boun to bring his boat to us so we have to travel to...

[Chen growls and gives a jump scare to Raya, Dang Hai, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Sisu who scream. Chen strangles Dang Hai and slams him against the tree.]

Chen: You can't escape from me.

Dang Hai: I'm not trying to. (punches Chen's throat)

Chen: (coughs on water) So be it.

[Raya punches Chen to the ground.]

Chen: (groans) You haven't seen the last of me, Raya. I'll be back.

[The Druun humanoids carry Chen to his base.]

Sisu: Who's that?

Raya: It's Chen, the Druun conqueror.

Spine Chief: We knew him six years ago.

Tail Chief: Look, here comes the boat.

[Boun's boat has arrived.]

Raya: Awesome. All aboard!

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Sisu, Tuk Tuk, Noi and the Ongis walk onboard the boat.]

Boun: So, how'd it go?

Raya: Brought some friends.

Boun: Nice. (to Noi) Ahoy.

Noi: Ahoy.

Boun: Welcome aboard, Noi. Let's move to Spine.

Sisu: Right back at you, Captain Boun.

[Sisu jumps underwater, turns back into a dragon, and swims to Spine with the boat.]

Spine Chief: Wow. We're going to Spine, my home.

Tail Chief: I know, Yen. We'll find your brother-in-law to help us reclaim the fifth shard in Fang.

Raya: You have a brother-in-law?

Spine Chief: Yes, his name's Tong.

Dang Hai: Wow. I never knew that he has a brother.

Spine Chief: Yes, I have one. I say he's big and strong.

Raya: Oh, wow. I can't wait to meet him.

Boun: So can I.

[Sisu comes out of the water and turns back into human.]

Sisu: All right. Looks like we're about to travel to Spine.

Spine Chief: You betcha, Sisu.

[The scene goes to Chen's base as Cho appears in water.]

Cho: Chen, tell me what you've learned.

Chen: I saw Raya six years ago. When I kill almighty Sisudatu, the last dragon, the rivers will recede and the Druun will turn into humanoids so my army and I should attack Fang.

Cho: Where is the fifth gem shard?

Chen: It's still in Fang as it's still on the staff used by Chief Virana, mother of Princess Namaari of Fang.

Cho: Go. Travel to Spine before Namaari does. Tell them where the fifth shard is.

Chen: Yes, Cho. The war is coming to the five tribes. And I'm bringing the wrath of Kumandra with me.

[The scene fades up the forest as the camera pans up to reveal the kingdom of Fang and the text comes up: "Fang". The scene goes to the throne room as Chief Virana talks to Chancellor Hing, General Atitaya and General Wahn.]

Hing: Chief Virana, I know Raya is about to travel to Spine when she goes out to meet Tong, the biggest, strongest warrior in Kumandra.

Virana: Yes, chancellor. I know. And let me assure you that nothing goes wrong in Kumandra. Never has, and never ever will.

Atitaya: Yes, Chief Virana. We know.

Wahn: We understand how Spine became the second cake for Druun.

Virana: I know, Wahn. It did.

Namaari: I might have a solution for that, mother.

Virana: (gasps softly) My little morning mist. I knew you'd return home.

Namaari: Yes, mother. I would. Raya also brings Noi of Talon and Boun of Tail, friends of Raya's as Chief Yen, Chief Xian, and Chief Dang Hai remain alive. They're all about to meet his brother-in-law named Tong.

Virana: (sighs) Yes, they are, Namaari. Tell me about Raya.

Namaari: I searched the whole land for her trying to bring her to safety, risking my life.

Virana: Hmm. So what did Raya do?

Namaari: She ran off with other people and she blew a kiss at me.

Virana: Oh, that's really sweet of her. Walk with me, please.

[The scene goes to the gardens as Virana walks with Namaari as Wahn, Atitaya and Hing are behind them.]

Virana: Take a look around. We live on to survive when the Druun are weak against water. It's how Fang still has food when we make them.

Namaari: As Raya wrote letters to us so Tail needs more of them. I'm sure my generals and soldiers and I will be able to go to Spine once they've arrived.

Virana: (chuckles softly) Namaari, you're truly growing into the leader I raised you to be. General Atitaya, ready the royal army for my daughter's command. (thumps her staff)

Namaari: (salutes to Virana) Thank you, mother. I won't let you down.

[The scene goes to Raya who sits on Boun's boat as they have breakfast.]

Spine Chief: Tuk Tuk, go easy on the sweets.

[Tuk Tuk groans and spits them on the river.]

Raya: Sorry, buddy. We got this.

[Noi gives Raya one shrimp.]

Raya: Thanks, Noi. I knew you'd give me the shrimp.

Spine Chief: (chuckles) I have to admit, the shrimp tastes edible and delicious. (to Noi) Hey, Noi. Would you like to play hide-and-seek with the Ongis? (Noi nods her head) All right. Let's play.

Boun: (closes his eyes) One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven.

Tail Chief: (sighs) Must be quite a boathouse.

Raya: Excuse me for a minute.

Dang Hai: Sure. Go ahead.

[Raya walks over to Sisu.]

Sisu: Being people is hard.

Raya: Yep. You have small heads, no tails. You lie to get what you want, like his mother, Dang Hu, back there.

Sisu: Yeah, well, the world's broken. You can't trust anyone. Or maybe the world's broken because you don't trust anyone.

Raya: You sound just like my Ba.

Sisu: Well, he sounds like a smart man.

Raya: Yeah, he was. I really wanted to believe him. I really wanted to believe that we could be Kumandra again.

Sisu: And we can.

Raya: My father and thousands of people turned into stone would argue otherwise. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. And you know what happened? Namaari gave me the dragon pendant as a gift during the feast. Look around. We're the world of orphans because people did the best they could when Chen appeared and shot my Ba's knee with an arrow. Wanna know why other dragons didn't come back? It's because people don't deserve them.

Sisu: But you change that.

Raya: No, Sisu, I'm done trying. Kumandra's a fairy tale. The only thing important to me now is bringing my father back.

Spine Chief: Hey, I think we're in Spine, my homeland.

[Sisu grabs the congee pot and hops on the stump to cross.]

Boun: Hey, my congee!

Raya: Sisu! Wait up!

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai follow Sisu as the scene goes to the mountains and the text comes up: "Spine". The scene goes to Sisu who has arrived at the gate then Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai have arrived.]

Spine Chief: Sisu, wait, I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Sisu: Oh, come on. There's nothing wrong with Spine when I have to grab the handle.

Raya: Don't! It could be a trap or some sort.

Sisu: (blows raspberry) Please, there's nothing wrong with Spine, anyway.

Tail Chief and Dang Hai: Sisu, wait, don't...

[Sisu grabs the handle and gets captured by the big net along with Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai.]

Sisu: In hindsight, maybe I was a little hasty, but, uh, who's hungry? No? I'll leave you four alone.

[The scene goes to Tong's house as Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai are tied up to the rope.]

Sisu: Interesting choice of digs.

Tong: Who disturbs my slumber?

Raya: That would be me. Raya, daughter of Chief Benja.

Tong: Oh, so you're Raya, daughter of Chief Benja. I know your father. (to Spine Chief) Yen?

Spine Chief: Tong?

Tong and Spine Chief: It is you!

Spine Chief: What have you been doing?

Tong: Just hanging around like a big person.

Raya: Yep, it's true. So, you're Tong, right?

Tong: Yes. I am Tong of Spine, the greatest warrior! (laughs)

Raya: My father's turned to stone. (Tong stops and his smile deflates) He threw me into the river. I will avenge him. But before he turned to stone, he asked me to find Sisu.

Tong: Benja. I knew him. He was a good friend. I see you found almighty Sisu. (The door knocks) Who's there?

[Boun, Noi, Tuk Tuk, the Ongis and Namaari open the door.]

Raya: Oh. Hello, princess undercut.

Namaari: Raya. What happened?

Raya: We've been tied.

Namaari: Here, let me just help you. (unties Raya and her friends) There.

Raya: Thanks.

Boun: Hello.

Tong: Oh. Hey there. So, that's little Noi and the Ongis.

Noi: (nods her head)

Tong: Oh, I see.

Tuk Tuk: (grunts)

Tong: I see you have a skippy.

Sisu: Skippy?

Raya: Actually, it's Tuk Tuk. He's helped me from a lot of trouble. Though, he would get distracted sometimes.

Tong: Right.

Raya: How'd you get here, Namaari?

Namaari: Well, I guess my soldiers and generals Wahn and Atitaya and I have decided to travel to Spine to see you.

Raya: Wow. Never thought I'd hear that.

Spine Chief: Wait, I hear something.

Chen: People of Spine, we're hunting for Raya of Heart and the chiefs of Spine, Talon and Tail! Send her out, or we're coming in!

Tail Chief: (notices of the people of Spine turned to stone) You're the only one here?

Tong: Yes. My people battled the Druun with much valor, but lost. Even my wife and daughter.

Spine Chief: Oh. I'm sorry, brother.

Raya: (notices the cradle with an elephant doll on it) All right, don't worry, Namaari and I will distract Chen, then you fellas can move out of here. (gives Spine Chief the gem shards)

Spine Chief: You're gonna fight Chen and his humanoid army?

Raya: Yes.

Tail Chief: Oh. Good luck with that.

Dang Hai: And be careful.

[Raya and Namaari walk to the gate.]

Raya: Ready, dep la?

Namaari: Ready.

Raya: All right. (takes a deep breath) Let's do this.

[The gate opens.]

Raya: Hello, Chen the Conqueror. Fancy meeting you here.

Chen: You and the dragon gem shards are coming with me.

Raya: My sword says here I'm not.

Chen: Ah. Princess Namaari of Fang. Not like your soldiers and generals. But only stronger. Stand down. This shouldn't take long.

[Raya takes off her cape and hat and takes out her sword. Namaari takes out her swords and smirks at Chen. Chen sighs and takes out his double-bladed sword. Raya takes a glance to see Tuk Tuk carry Noi away. Raya, Namaari and Chen attack with their weapons while the Fang soldiers attack the Druun humanoids. Wahn and Atitaya watch Raya and Namaari. Raya kicks Chen to the ground.]

Chen: (grunts) The gem will be mine.

Namaari: I belong to no one.

[Raya, Namaari and Chen continue to attack. Raya flicks the double-bladed sword out of Chen's hand.]

Raya: Did you need that, binturi?

Chen: Nope. (kicks Raya and Namaari and takes the swords from them) Why are you willing to reclaim the fifth shard?

Raya: Because I'm just trying to get a matching set.

Chen: Where's Sisu? Tell me!

[Raya and Namaari punch Chen in the stomach and face. Chen groans in pain and uses boxing to hit Raya and Namaari and he throws them down to the ground.]

Chen: Last chance, Raya. Why are you willing to reclaim the fifth shard?

Raya: Because I never thought that would've been such a good idea.

[Raya tries to kick Chen down, but Chen blocks her foot in time and throws her down to the ground. The scene goes to Sisu who escapes with Spine Chief, Tong, Tail Chief, Boun, Dang Hai, Noi and the Ongis as she sees Raya on the ground and gasps.]

Chen: (chuckles) Oh, I'm ready to have some fun.

[Chen holds Raya's collar and seems ready to punch her. But suddenly, a blue fog appears as Sisu appears in her dragon form and scares the Druun humanoids by spewing fog. She angrily looks at Chen and roars at him. Namaari picks Raya up and sees Sisu. Spine Chief, Tong, Dang Hai, Noi, the Ongis, Tail Chief, Boun and Tuk Tuk look at Sisu with amazement.]

Sisu: On your knees. (Chen kneels down) Lower. (Chen lowers his knees) I'm Sisudatu, the last dragon. And you, Chen the Conqueror... (shows Chen her hand) will give me the kiss of peace.

[Chen shudders and kisses Sisu's hand. Sisu punishes Chen by striking him down to the ground four times. Chen groans softly.]

Namaari: (salutes to Sisu) Almighty Sisu. (walks over to Chen)

Chen: What are you looking at?

Namaari: A dead man. Chen the Conqueror, you are exiled and condemned. (to Raya) Take care, Raya. We'll return when you travel to Fang.

Raya: (hugs Namaari) I will. (lets Namaari go) Meet us at the cliff by sunrise.

Namaari: We will. (hops on Buwan) Wahn, Atitaya, we're going home.

Wahn and Atitaya: Yes, Princess Namaari.

[Wahn and Atitaya hop on their serlots. Namaari, Wahn, Atitaya and the Fang soldiers ride back to Fang.]

Raya: (on Boun's boat) Come on, on the boat!

Sisu: We're coming! Let's go!

Spine Chief: Right away, Sisu!

[Sisu, Spine Chief, Tong, Dang Hai, Noi, the Ongis, Tail Chief and Boun run onboard Boun's boat. Sisu goes under the boat and swims to push it far away from Spine.]

Chen: (stands up and cracks his joints) Wait. She's here. In her dragon form. Along with the gem shards.

[Chen breathes heavily and roars in frustration and then he flies to his base. The scene goes to Boun's boat as Raya inhales when her mouth is open as Noi throws the shrimp in it and Raya chews with her mouth closed then she swallows.]

Dang Hai: Nice feeding, baby Noi.

Boun: When were you all gonna tell me she was Sisu? And that your friend can turn into a dragon?

Raya: Well, technically, you always knew she was Sisu.

[Noi is ready to throw a shrimp. But suddenly, Spine Chief catches it.]

Spine Chief: Nice try, little Noi. (eats a shrimp and swallows) We always liked our shrimp raw, fried and cooked.

Raya: Okay, well what about your magical friend? When were you gonna tell us about her, huh?

[Raya sees Sisu have fun in the water as she laughs and stops.]

Sisu: Oh. Right. (climbs on Boun's boat)

Tong: Why are you here anyway?

Sisu: Isn't that obvious, big guy? My girl, Raya, and I are gonna fix the world and bring everyone back.

[Spine Chief, Tong, Dang Hai, Noi, the Ongis, Tail Chief, Boun and Tuk Tuk think briefly.]

Boun: You're gonna bring everyone back? I'd like to help.

Tail Chief: I'm sorry, we can't let you do that. It's far too dangerous.

Boun: You're not just the only one who lost family to the Druun. Please let me help you. (kneels down and salutes to Sisu)

Noi and the Ongis: (salutes to Sisu)

Tong: (holds the gem shard in his hands) I too wish to join the fellowship of Druun ass-whupping!

Spine Chief: That's my brother.

[Tong places the gem shard down on Sisu's hands as suddenly the rain comes down from the sky.]

Sisu: (whispers) My big brother Pengu's magic.

Raya: Then walk, Sisu. It's time.

[Sisu reaches her hand out to touch the raindrop as she smiles. The raindrops stop and form into one. Sisu creates the platform from the platform and runs off to the sky. They all watch her run in the raindrop gracefully as Sisu touches the platform she has run off to. Tuk Tuk reaches his tongue out to taste the raindrop. Noi happily touches the rain and Tong lifts her up with his hands to make her enjoyed more. Raya watches Sisu fly up as she feels the warmth of the sunlight touches her skin. Sisu closes her eyes and she lets herself down on the river. Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai quickly watches Sisu and the water splashes her. Sisu laughs happily with a grin.]

Sisu: All right, Captain Boun. To Fang!

Boun: Fang it is! (directs his boat to Fang)

[The scene goes to Raya who comes up with a plan.]

Raya: All right, everyone. Here's the plan. The last gem shard is in Fang, the most heavily guarded of the five lands. Now, they're protected by an artificial canal that separates them from the rest of the world. The only way in or out is by water. Luckily for us, we have a magic water dragon. Now, the palace will be swarming with Fang soldiers. To sneak past them, we'll need to...

Spine Chief: Everybody, I got this. I'll take care of the first wave. Tong and I will follow up with our giant axes of bad-axery. Along with Sisu's crazy powers. Xian and Boun will attack the soldiers and the generals. And then come Dang Hai, the Ongis and that crazy con-baby, who will toss the gem to the Mighty Sisudatu. And then, (mimics Sisu growling) bye-bye, binturis. Super flow plan, am I correct?

Sisu: Well...

Raya: Actually, no. Yeah, that's not flow. That's a clog.

Sisu: I agree. Here's my plan. We infiltrate Fang, meet with Namaari, and offer her something nice and go, "Hey! Wanna help us save the world? Because all it takes is one gem shard." (speaks as Namaari) "Yes! I've been waiting for someone to ask me! Here you go!" (speaks in a normal voice) "Best friends forever!"

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tong, Dang Hai, Noi, the Ongis, Tail Chief and Boun give Raya a weirded out look.]

Dang Hai: Yeah, I think I'd rather go with Boun's plan.

Sisu: Wait, what? (Boun fist bumps)

Boun: Yes!

Sisu: Wait, why?

Raya: Because it's Fang.

Tong: Their blades are specially designed for the stabbing of backs.

Boun: If it weren't for them, none of this would have happened. They're the worst.

[Noi makes a squealing voice of disgust.]

Sisu: If we're just honest with her, deep down, I have a feeling she wants to fix the world as much as we do.

Raya: You weren't there when my friends gave me their blessings.

Tail Chief: But, fellas, maybe Sisu's right.

[Everyone looks at Tail Chief with surprise.]

Raya: What?

Spine Chief: I honestly don't believe that Fang is as bad as we make them out to be.

Tong: You're nuts.

Boun: Yeah, Yen, no offense, but Fang is downright evil. (Tail Chief frowns)

Raya: We're sticking with my plan, and that's final!

[Sisu frowns as she makes the rain fall down heavily.]

Raya: Whoa. Uh... What's with the down pour?

Sisu: Raya, Xian, Dang Hai, Yen, get on my back.

[Spine Chief, Dang Hai, and Talon Chief hop on Sisu's back.]

Sisu: Come on! I need to show you all something.

[Sisu grabs Raya as she runs in the air, leaving Tong, Boun, Noi, the Ongis and Tuk Tuk behind.]

Boun: So, what do we do now?

Tong: I don't know.

Raya: Where are you taking us?

[The scene goes to the sky as Sisu runs to Heart as the camera turns to Heart and the text comes up: "Heart". Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, and Tail Chief look at the bridge as they saw Benja as a statue. Sisu carries Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, and Tail Chief to the broken chamber that once held the dragon gem. Sisu drops Raya down as she lets her, Spine Chief, Dang Hai and Tail Chief slide down gently.]

Raya: Sisu, why did you bring us here?

Sisu: This is where it all happened.

Spine Chief: Yeah, I know. We were there. I think I heard there's an attack coming.

Raya: Not coming, Yen. It's already here.

Sisu: No, this is where it all happened 500 years ago.

[Sisu removes the vine, revealing the statue of the dragon. Their eyes widen as they walk with her.]

Sisu: I want you guys to meet my brothers and sisters. The real mighty ones. I miss them.

Tail Chief: We never knew they were here.

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, and Dang Hai salute to the statues.]

Sisu: See that classy-looking one over there? That's Amba. I get my glow from her. And that's Pranee. She's a shapeshifter. Jagan, fog. And Pengu. He's our big brother. He brings the rain. We were the last dragons.

Spine Chief: The Druun came here once.

Sisu: Yes, they did. 500 years ago.

[The flashback starts with the people and the dragons preparing for war as Quynh creates the Druun.]

Sisu: (voiceover) A soulless being appeared in the ground, laying waste to all who opposed it. The leader of the Druun was the dark dragon called Quynh. A name feared and cursed in every land. Quynh was met in battle by Kumandra's people and dragons. When Quynh turned his own heart, he wanted to have a plan by creating the Druun, a group of evil soulless being spirits. People before their separation into the five tribes. As Quynh waged war on Kumandra, he made the Druun multiply, cloning like clones. Your ancestor fought with us as they went to war on the Druun. They called it the First Kumandra War.

Raya's Ancestor: For Kumandra!

[The warriors yell and charge at the Druun.]

Sisu: For the dragons!

Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba: For the people!

[The dragons run to the Druun as a Druun screeches. The warriors and the dragons attack the Druun.]

Sisu: (voiceover) But before the Druun could turn the people to stones, the warriors fought and attacked as one. People alongside the dragons. A golden age of warriors fighting together to defend life on Kumandra.

[The warriors continue to attack the Druun as they stab the Druun's hearts. The Druun then turn all the dragons to stone, except for Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba. Sisu impales Quynh's left front leg as they both growl. Quynh yells in pain and Sisu kicks Quynh to the ground. Quynh groans.]

Quynh: I curse you! I curse your name and all who come after! We will meet again, Sisu! In another time! In another land! (falls unconscious)

[The Druun surround Sisu and her siblings at the small river. Pengu cups the water from the small pond as he clutches his hands and creates the gem. Pranee, Amba, and Jagan pour their magic into the gem.]

Sisu: We were drowning in a sea of Druun. But my oldest brother Pengu refused to accept defeat. This is where we'd make our last stand, united. So, one by one, they combined all their magic, creating the dragon gem.

[Pengu hands over the gem to Sisu as Sisu looks uncertain.]

Pengu: Take it. It may be worthy of your life.

[Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba smile.]

Sisu: (voiceover) I don't know why they chose me. It could have been any of us.

[Pengu gives Sisu the gem.]

Pengu: Goodbye, Sisu.

[The Druun turns Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba to stone and Sisu closes her eyes as the gem sends the wave and vanquishes the Druun and Quynh to the underworld.]

Sisu: (voiceover) All I know is they trusted them, and they trusted me. And so...

[The flasback ends.]

Sisu: When they put faith in me, it empowered me beyond anything I could imagine. The same can happen with Namaari.

Raya: I wish I could believe that. I once thought that we'd be best friends.

Sisu: After all this, maybe you can be.

Raya: Even if she wanted to help us, how could I possibly trust her?

Tail Chief: But if somehow you could, you wouldn't just bring your father back. You'd also bring back his dream. Kumandra.

Spine Chief: But it's not over. It was never over.

Raya: I don't understand. Who's after the gem?

Spine Chief: Chen.

Raya: Chen?

Spine Chief: He's one of Quynh's conquerors. And that's how Quynh wanted the gem for vengeance.

Raya: So that's why he did it.

Dang Hai: Did what?

Raya: Sent his trusted conqueror. Chen shot my father's knee with an arrow when I was 12!

Dang Hai: He will be damned if he could get his hands on the gem shards.

[The scene goes to the bridge at Heart as Raya takes off the flowers and places them on Benja's hand as she, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, and Dang Hai salute to him.]

Raya: Do you think he would even recognize me? So much has changed.

Sisu: Of course he will.

Raya: (turns around to Sisu) You remind me of him.

Sisu: Oh, yeah? Strong? Good-looking with impeccable hair? (playfully flicks her mane)

Raya: Hopeful.

[Raya places her hands under Benja and she sighs deeply. Spine Chief places his hand on Raya's shoulder.]

Raya: How would we even approach Namaari after all that's happened?

Sisu: It may feel impossible, but sometimes, you just have to take the first step, even before you're ready. Trust me.

Raya: (turns back to Benja) Okay. Let's go to your plan.

Sisu: Really? My plan? You're gonna go with my plan?

Raya: (chuckles) Yeah.

Sisu: All right! You're all not just gonna regret this. But we're gonna need a really good gift. What do you think she's into? Cats? Swords? Cats with swords? Swords with little cats on them? (Raya laughs)

Spine Chief: Actually... (opens the fabric and reveals the dragon pendant) I know precisely what we'd give her.

[The scene fades up to Chen's base as Khan appears in water.]

Khan: Have they told you about the fifth shard?

Chen: No, they haven't, Chen.

Khan: Then why do you summon me?

Chen: I bring news. Before mighty Quynh came to the throne, he created the Druun, a group of soulless beings before they've become humanoids. The last dragon, Almighty Sisudatu, blasted the Druun away after her brothers and sisters made the gem from the small pond and turned to stones. The power of her siblings that can do everything as the gem became power hungry when Kumandra's people became the five tribes.

Khan: The story of the defiance is well-known.

Chen: I have learned about the temple of the dragon gem, the small water that fought back. It's Kumandra. The dragon gem is created by Sisu's siblings, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba.

Khan: (snarls) Are you certain?

Chen: I have seen it. I have looked with my own eyes.

[Khan speaks Mongolian and growls as he vanishes. The Druun humanoids chitter and bow to Quynh who appears in water. Chen gasps, steps back and kneels to Quynh.]

Chen: My lord. (salutes to Quynh)

Quynh: Oh, Chen.

Chen: My lord, I am but your trusted servant.

Quynh: Can it be true that you have found it?

Chen: I have, great one. The lost world is Kumandra. The dragon gem is here.

Quynh: If it is redemption you seek, find the fifth shard, kill Almighty Sisudatu, and when the rivers have started to recede, I will come for my dragon gem.

Chen: You will come to Kumandra?

Quynh: I have turned every single dragon to stone, looking for the dragon gem. Looking for those who robbed me of my glory. I will stride across their souls and bask in the glow of the dragon gem. And all of Kumandra shall be mine.

Chen: (grunts softly) It shall be so, my master. (salutes to Quynh again)

[The scene fades up to Fang then the scene goes to Virana and Hing who tell the children through the shadow play.]

Virana: And that is how the land of Fang rose in spite of all the monsters that wanted to destroy us. Because we're smart, resilient, and we take care of one another.

[Namaari, Wahn and Atitaya walk over to Virana and Hing.]

Namaari: Mother, chancellor. We'd like to talk.

Female Fang Child: It's Princess Namaari!

[The children run around her as Virana stops them.]

Virana: All right, all right, now, run along, kids. I have to speak with my daughter.

Fang Children: Aw.

Hing: See you next time, kids. Bye!

Fang Children: Bye.

[The children leave Virana, Namaari and Hing.]

Namaari: Mother, you won't believe what I saw.

Virana: Really? What did you see, Namaari?

Namaari: Sisudatu, the last dragon.

Hing: Congratulations, Princess Namaari. That's such wonderful news.

Namaari: Thanks, chancellor. She can glow, swim, shapeshift into a human like us, spew fog and summon rain.

Virana: Incredible. That's extraordinary. She has four siblings.

Namaari: Yes. Their names are Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba.

Hing: Wow. Who'd have guessed that Sisu has two brothers and two sisters? Let me guess. She does, Princess.

Namaari: Yes, Chancellor.

Virana: Oh, and Namaari.

Namaari: Yes, mother?

Virana: Make sure by sunrise to meet Raya and her friends.

Namaari: I will.

Virana: Come on, I'll make you some supper.

Namaari: All right.

[Namaari walks with Virana, Wahn, Atitaya and Hing. The scene fades up to Fang at night as Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Tong, Boun, Noi and the Ongis look at the window.]

Raya: All right. Noi, Ongis, sneak into Fang and bring the message to Namaari.

Spine Chief: Just go. So the soldiers and guards won't know the difference. Only sneak past the guards. Easy as pie.

Dang Hai: Yeah, it's always easy. Not that hard.

[Noi nods her head and rides on Uka.]

Tail Chief: All right, let's do this. Ready, set, go.

[The Ongis easily sneak into Fang, past the guards and she leaves a message to Namaari's bedroom on the open window. Noi and the Ongis return to Raya. Namaari goes to the window, picks up the message and opens it. The message says, "Wanna go help us save the world?" and Namaari chuckles as she opens the fabric as she looks at the dragon pendant and grins. The scene goes to the throne room as Namaari talks to Virana.]

Namaari: Mother, General Wahn and Atitaya, Chancellor Hing, I would like to have a word with you four privately.

Virana: Tell us something.

Namaari: One of Raya's friends sent me the message. They want me to retrieve the fifth gem shard so we can reassemble the gem and blast the Druun humanoids away including Chen the conqueror. I'm going to the cliff by sunrise.

Hing: Princess Namaari, it's far too dangerous.

Virana: Silence! My people have suffered enough. Now Namaari must go to the cliff so people must take shelter while the guards and soldiers should stay. (gives the fifth gem shard from the staff to Namaari) I won't be needing this anymore.

Namaari: (salutes to Virana) Thank you, mother, for believing in me. (retrieves the fifth shard)

Virana: My pleasure. And now we must act. Namaari will kill Chen the Conqueror like Sisu banished Quynh and his army. With her bare hands.

[The scene fades up to the Shrimporium.]

Tong: If she refuses to help, we've just flushed our tactical advantage into the dung pot.

Sisu: I know. The jerky's horrible.

Tong: Yes, I know.

Boun: Are you sure those four miniature menaces would be successful?

Tail Chief: I don't know, but there's too much spice.

Tong: Uh, no. There's too much bamboo.

Sisu: What do you know? You have the taste buds of the tall baby.

Boun: Well, you dress like a tall baby.

Tong: (chuckles) You could say that. I'd like the spoon so I could take over.

Sisu: Not so fast, big man. I'm the professional here.

(Sisu goes between them as she picks up the bag of palm sugar.)

Sisu: May I?

(Sisu pours it into the soup, Boun stirs it and takes a sip.)

Boun: Whoa! That tastes just right.

Raya: (chuckles) It's just a little something my father showed me.

Sisu: Aw. Did he also show you how to make that delicious jerky?

Raya: (chuckles) No, that was all me.

[Sisu gives the bowl to Raya.]

Sisu: It'll be nice to share a meal with him again.

Spine Chief: I know what you mean.

Boun: I have this really obnoxious sister who always tousels my hair. I can't wait to see her the most.

Tong: After we win the day, I look forward to filling my eyeball with the joytastic image of my village full again. (Noi places her hand on his temple to cheer him up) And you'll be reunited with your mother, Noi.

[Tong gets Noi off his shoulder. Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Dang Hai and Tail Chief are confused.]

Dang Hai: Uh, what did you just call her?

Tong: Noi. That's her name, though.

[Noi sips the soup and belches.]

Tong: It's written on her collar. Haven't any of you checked? And they think of me as the ruffian.

Sisu: Wait, what's that even mean?

Raya: It means we're on. Sisu, until we get the shard and confirm Namaari's actually on our side, promise me you'll stay hidden.

[The scene goes to Chen's base as Chen prepares his humanoid army.]

Chen: I welcome my humanoid army to Kumandra as we approach Fang, the most heavily guarded kingdom of Kumandra.

Druun Humanoid: But we're relying on Namaari.

[Druun humanoids grumble.]

Chen: Hush! Enough! Make no mistake, I'll kill Sisudatu so the rivers will recede. This, my friends, is just a small taste of what is to come. From the Fang tribe ahead, riches will flow like a mighty river.

Druun Humanoid: I don't care about riches. How much gold can a warrior carry?

Chen: (inhales deeply) Then I will give you revenge for the land we lost to the five tribes. For the shame of the last war. For my master who the last dragon killed. If gold is not enough, I will give you blood. Sharpen your swords. Our time has come.

[The scene fades up to the cliff as Namaari stands and holds the fifth shard then notices Raya.]

Raya: Hey, princess undercut. I see you got my message.

Namaari: Raya, I know you sent me your message and the dragon pendant I gave you as a gift when we were 12. I never thought I'd see this again.

Raya: Well, I tried to take good care of it. And you're not the only dragon nerd here. After all, we're both dragon nerds.

[Namaari chuckles and gives Raya the fifth shard. Sisu comes out of the woods while she glows. Namaari's eyes widen and she quickly salutes to her.]

Raya: Thank you. Prove me with actions that we can keep trusting you. (shows Namaari her hand) Do we have a deal?

Namaari: Of course. (shakes her hand with Raya)

Raya: (pulls and hugs Namaari) Aw, come here, cat lady! And thanks for the dragon pendant.

Namaari: (chuckles) It's no problem. (hugs Raya back)

Sisu: Now that's what I call friendship. (to Namaari) You wouldn't kill anybody, would you?

Namaari: No, I wouldn't.

Sisu: I trust you, Namaari.

Namaari: I trust you too, Sisu. I love you all.

[Sisu comes to hug Raya and Namaari. Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Tail Chief, Tong, Boun, Noi and the Ongis follow suit.]

Chen: (holds his crossbow and points it at Raya and her friends) So, this is how it will always be. I should have known. (to Sisu) You're insignificant, Sisu. An irritation I no longer need to tolerate once I ensure your agonizing death by shooting your heart with an arrow. (chuckles) Goodbye, Almighty Sisu.

[Chen shoots Sisu's heart with an arrow in slow motion. Sisu's glow fades out as Sisu groans and takes the arrow to the heart then she falls down to the river in normal speed. Raya and Namaari run to see the water splash and look at Chen.]

Chen: So begins the end.

[Chen flies to Fang.]

Raya: (to Namaari) Where's Chen gone to?

Namaari: He's gone to Fang to torture my mother.

Spine Chief: Your mother? Wait a minute. He's not gonna torture Chief Virana. He's gonna make Chief Virana bow to him.

Raya: Let's go kill Chen the Druun conqueror.

[The scene goes to the compound in Fang as the people take shelter then the scene goes to Chen who sees the rivers recede.]

Chen: Yes. At last. Prepare for his arrival. My redemption is nigh. Recede the rivers. Become the humanoids.

[The scene goes to Fang as the rivers continue to recede and the Druun turn into humanoids then the scene goes to Chen who chuckles softly and walks to Virana. The scene goes to Raya, Namaari, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, and Tail Chief who run to the compound in Fang while Tuk Tuk rolls as Tong, Boun, Noi and the Ongis ride on him.]

Spine Chief: The gates are open!

Raya: The compound's empty! Why are there no people?

Namaari: They've taken shelter!

[They stop at the compound and they look around. Boun, Noi, Tong and the Ongis hop off Tuk Tuk as Chen sees Raya and her friends.]

Chen: (to the Druun humanoids) Get to the compound. Defend the throne room. Join the others. Take the kingdom. Kill every last Fang soldier.

[The Druun humanoids run to the compound to kill Raya and her friends.]

Raya: Ambush!

Spine Chief: Rescue Chief Virana. Clear her path! Don't leave her side! She must get through.

[Raya's friends clear Raya's path and follow her side as they attack the Druun humanoids alongside the Fang soldiers and guards while Spine Chief, Dang Hai and Tail Chief hold the Druun humanoids off. The scene goes to the gardens as Virana sees three Druun humanoids and attacks them with a spear and a crossbow.]

Chen: (chuckles) Surely you didn't expect a fair fight?

Virana: How did you convince my daughter to betray me?

Chen: That was not your daughter. Now!

[The Druun humanoids tie Chief Virana up and carry her to Namaari's room.]

Chen: Guard the door.

[At the throne room, Raya, Namaari, Tong, Boun, Noi and the Ongis see Druun humanoids in armor.]

Tong: You two need to find Chief Virana. We'll hold them back.

Raya: Till next we meet, Tong.

[Raya, Namaari, Tong, Noi, the Ongis, and Boun charge at the Druun humanoids armor and attack them while Raya and Namaari go through them. At the hall, Raya and Namaari see Namaari's bedroom door open guarded by two Druun humanoid guards.]

Raya: (softly) All right, Namaari. Here's the plan. I'll distract the guards while you rescue your mother with the help of your chancellor.

Namaari: Understood.

Raya: Stay there.

[Raya walks to two Druun humanoid guards like a model. The scene goes to Chen who talks to Virana at Namaari's bedroom.]

Chen: They tell me this kingdom has been built in honor of your master. And in honor of my master, this is where you will die. Or should I say, "turn to stone"? Who will come to save you, Chief Virana? Where are the warriors of Kumandra? I will tell you. Turned to stone by my humanoid army. Now it's your turn. (whispers to Virana) Bow to me.

[The scene goes to Raya who blows a kiss. One of Druun humanoid guards chuckles. Raya takes out a watermelon and smirks as he shoves two of them up two Druun humanoid guards' heads. Raya kicks two Druun humanoid guards to the floor.]

Namaari: Now's our chance!

[Raya and Namaari run to Namaari's bedroom. The scene goes to Chen who still talks to Virana at Namaari's bedroom.]

Chen: I tire of your arrogance, old woman. Bow to me!

Virana: No matter how the wind howls, the mountain can never bow to the Druun.

Chen: Then you will kneel in pieces!

[As Chen is about to kill Virana, Raya and Namaari kick him down to the floor and Chen growls.]

Raya: Remember me? Round two?

Namaari: Hell, yeah.

[Chen charges at Raya and Namaari. They kick him down to the floor again and grumbles. Hing joins Raya and Namaari's fight and takes out his sword.]

Hing: I'll help you two.

Chen: (stands up) Tell me, Raya of Heart, why were you thrown into the river by your own father only to cast your lot with these people clinging to their puny lives? You weren't there to protect them from me. And, sadly, you could have.

[Raya yells as she and Namaari attack Chen.]

Raya: Chancellor Hing, untie Virana and get her out of Namaari's room safely.

Hing: Yes, Princess Raya. (to Virana) Don't worry. I'll get you out of here.

[Hing quickly unties Virana and places her body on his shoulder.]

Chen: No!

[Hing jumps out of the window and uses his sword as a zip line on the rope as he makes it to the throne room and cuts the rope. Chen attempts to grab it but fails.]

Chen: (looks at the window and whispers as his eyes widen) No.

[Chen growls and yells in frustration as he walks over to Namaari.]

Chen: You! (angrily punches Namaari) You took away my only plan!

Raya: (hits Chen with a dumpling) No! I did. (puts her hair ring on her head)

Chen: (his eyes widen again) The princess of the Heart tribe.

[Raya takes her hair ring off her head and puts it in her purse as she runs to the throne room. Chen follows Raya as the scene goes to Spine Chief, Dang Hai and Tail Chief who still attack the Druun humanoids then the scene goes to the throne room as Raya makes it to Hing and Virana.]

Raya: Is Chief Virana safe?

Hing: Yes, she is. Thanks to your plan.

[Chen confronts Raya as she does the move.]

Chen: I watched your homeland fall. Your family begging for their lives. As did your father.

Raya: (whispers) Liar.

Chen: The girl who has come to save Kumandra.

Raya: I will blast the Druun away, avenge Sisu and my father, and I'm here to destroy you.

Chen: (scoffs) Blast the Druun away? We'll see about that.

[Raya attacks Chen with their swords. Spine Chief, Dang Hai and Tail Chief enter the throne room.]

Spine Chief: Okay. The humanoids are sent back to the underworld. We'll help you reassemble the gem.

[Raya and Chen's swords clash as they both strain and Chen snarls as they fall down to the floor. Chen lets his sword slip through his fingers as the sword shatters like glass.]

Virana: Rise up, Raya. You're the great mighty warrior. Rise up like the dragons. Fight for Kumandra and its people.

[Raya stands up. Namaari, Wahn and Atitaya goes by Raya's side as Chen stands up and looks at his broken sword.]

Chen: Impossible.

Raya: Something my father taught me. The first rule is, there are no rules.

[Raya, Namaari, Wahn, Atitaya and Chen fight with their kung fu moves. Raya punches Chen to the ground and Chen falls unconscious.]

Raya: Now's our chance. I'll take the first step.

[Raya takes the first step.]

Tail Chief: Let's reassemble it.

[Raya, Namaari, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai reassemble the dragon gem. Suddenly, a water portal opens as Quynh, Cho and Khan walk over to see them. The light in the gem starts to fade and goes dark.]

Raya: It's too late.

Spine Chief: Oh, no.

Namaari: We're doomed.

Dang Hai: He's here!

[Quynh uses his magic to turn Raya's friends to stone. All of a sudden, Raya glows with the magic of the dragon gem.]

Raya: (closes her eyes, sees Sisu and her siblings in her dream and echoes) Sisu. Whatever happens, I want you to know... your magic was your siblings, Sisu. One of the best of the best.

[Raya floats and opens her eyes.]

Raya: Blast the Druun away. Revive Kumandra. It's all right now.

[Suddenly, the light comes back as Raya sends the wave to vanquish the Druun humanoids and creates rain clouds. The clouds begin to group above Fang and rain. The rain washes away the stone, reviving all of Kumandra back to life including Raya's friends.]

Raya: Wow.

Boun: It worked. It worked!

Virana: You did it, Raya.

Namaari: You fought for Kumandra and its people.

Raya: (hugs Namaari) Thanks, dep la. I love you.

Namaari: (hugs Raya back) I love you too, Raya.

[Chen groans in pain and stands up behind the water portal as he looks at Raya and her friends. Chen grunts and roars as Dang Hai impales Chen behind the back with his sword. Dang Hai strains and holds up his sword as Chen roars in agony then Raya sends Chen kicking back to Quynh's throne room in slow motion. Namaari runs and jumps across as he decapitates Chen while she yells. Namaari lands on the floor and growls. The scene goes to Quynh's throne room as Chen's head and body tumbles in normal speed. Quynh crushes the defeated and decapitated Chen's head. Before he can attack Raya and her friends, the water portal closes as Quynh growls and grunts in frustration.]

Khan: I told you Chen would fail.

Quynh: Yes. Yes, you did, Khan.

Cho: My master, now that the dragon gem has been reassembled, how will you retrieve your dragon gem?

Quynh: Kumandra has been revived, Cho, and we will stop at nothing to find the hidden kingdom. (Cho looks concerned) Prepare for the next war. We will use the old ways.

Cho and Khan: Yes, my master.

[Quynh retreats back to his throne while Cho and Khan salute to him before they follow to their master as the Druun humanoids look on in the glory of their superiors. The scene goes to the compound in Fang as she sees Tuk Tuk.]

Raya: Tuk Tuk!

Tuk Tuk: (trills happily)

[Raya runs and nuzzles Tuk Tuk. The dragons return and walk gracefully in the air as they all watch with amazement. The dragons walk above then dive down, twirl in a circle and form a ritual. The water forms itself into Sisu. Raya sobs with a smile. Sisu blinks her eyes as she gasps deeply and looks at her hands before she notices the dragons around her. She flies up and she sees her siblings.]

Sisu: Pengu! Jagan! Pranee! Amba! You're all back!

Pengu: Yes, we are, Sisu.

Jagan: We missed you so much.

Sisu: So have I.

[Sisu looks down to see Raya and her friends as she flies down. Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai and Tail Chief quickly follow Sisu. They stop in their track as Sisu twirls around them and splashes the water teasingly on them as the Spine Chief laughs.]

Raya: Sisu.

Sisu: I'm really hungry.

Raya: I got some jerky.

Sisu: Not that hungry.

Tong: Aw, it's good to breathe in you glorious dragon smell again. Okay, I take that as a compliment.

[Namaari salutes as Sisu hugs Raya and Namaari. Spine Chief, Tong, Dang Hai, Noi, the Ongis, Tail Chief and Boun do the same.]

Pengu: Salute, warrior. (Raya salutes alongside Namaari, Spine Chief, Tong, Dang Hai, Noi, the Ongis, Tail Chief and Boun) Tell us your name.

Raya: It's Raya of Heart.

Pengu: Raya of Heart, we thank you for saving Kumandra and its people from Chen and his army. We're all eternally grateful.

Jagan: In gratitude for your service and dedication, the dragons offer you to return to your family so you can live happily with them.

Namaari: Pengu, I'm deeply honored by this immeasurable offer. But with all due respect, the gem's returned to the temple of Heart.

Raya: I know I should see my father again after six years. And now we're ready to have a celebration feast.

Pengu: Very well, Raya.

Pranee: Devotion to trust is the essential virtue.

Amba: Feel free to return to your families.

Raya: Thank you.

Namaari: Raya. I'll come with you to Heart alongside my mother.

Raya: As you wish. Ready, Virana? (hops on Tuk Tuk)

Virana: You bet your ass. (hops on Tuk Tuk and kisses Raya's cheek)

Raya: Aw, shucks. (to Namaari) You look good today, Namaari.

Virana: Oh, that's really sweet of you.

Namaari: She said I look good. (hops on Buwan) Ready, Buwan?

Buwan: (purrs)

Namaari: Let's go.

[The scene goes to Spine as Tong and Spine Chief see their people. Tong's wife turns around with her baby daughter in her army as she smiles. Tong and Spine Chief smile and rush quickly to them. The scene goes to Talon as Dang Hai carries Noi and the Ongis easily to find her mother. Noi's mother gasps, places her hand on her chest as she finally finds her long lost daughter.]

Raya: (narrating) Me and my friends reassembled the dragon gem and killed Chen and his Druun humanoid army. My friends have also returned to their families.

Dang Hai: Hey, look, it's your mommy.

Noi: Momma!

Noi's Mother: (crying) My baby!

[The scene goes to Tail as Boun and Tail Chief travel back to Tail with his boat, then he notices his family who wave to him.]

Boun's Sister: Mom, look, it's Boun and Chiefess Xian!

Tail Chief: Welcome home, Captain Boun.

[Boun and Tail Chief smile as he quickly paddles the boat faster. The scene fades to the grass as Raya and Virana ride on Tuk Tuk back to her home as Namaari follows her while she rides on Buwan. Raya, Namaari and Virana arrive at the bridge which leads to the kingdom. Raya's eyes widen as she sees Benja back to normal. Chief Benja bends down to get the pole up, Raya, Namaari and Virana go down. Raya takes off her hat.]

Raya: (narrating) And I invited Namaari and Virana to see how Heart had been once long ago when I was but a child. And our hearts were bright. For now, it was again. But that wasn't all.

Raya: Father?

Namaari and Virana: Chief Benja?

[Benja turns around as Raya, Namaari and Virana smile sheepishly.]

Benja: (his eyes widen and he gasps softly) Dewdrop? Namaari? Chief Virana?

[Benja drops the pole and runs to Raya, Namaari and Virana.]

Raya: Father!

Namaari and Virana: Chief Benja!

[Raya, Namaari and Virana cry as they engage them in a tight hug.]

Benja: I missed you all so much.

Raya: We missed you too.

Namaari: (to Raya) Raya, I think there's one more thing that we actually forgot to mention something.

Raya: Oh, yes. True love's kiss.

[Raya shares true love's kiss with Namaari as they hold it for a long time. Benja and Virana look on proud of their daughters. They have found their true loves.]

Raya: I love you.

Namaari: I love you too.

Benja: (sniffles) My little dewdrop's first kiss.

Virana: (chuckles) About time my morning mist has admitted to Raya.

[Benja and Virana share a kiss. Benja then notices Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba.]

Benja: Is that really her?

Virana: Yes, it is.

Benja: (salutes to Sisu) Almighty Sisu.

Sisu: Chief Benja, your daughter did you proud. Hope you don't mind, she brought some friends.

[Raya, Benja, Namaari and Virana look forward, five tribes have arrived alongside Boun, his family, Tail Chief, Tong, his family, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Chai, Dang Hu, Noi, the Ongis, Noi's mother and Noi's grandmother as they salute to them.]

Tong: Hello, old friend.

Benja: Hello, Tong.

Hing: Under order of Chief Virana of the Fang tribe, we present the gift to Raya of Heart. She has saved Kumandra. The five tribes have been unified.

[The five tribes cheer as Raya opens the gift as she picks up a new whip sword.]

Spine Chief: She has brought honor to her ancestors, to her family, to her kingdom, and to her tribe.

Dang Hai: As befits a great warrior, the whip sword is marked with the pillars of virtue.

Benja: Courage, honor and love. And what is this fourth virtue I see?

Tail Chief: Read it aloud, Raya.

Raya: Devotion to trust.

Benja: You have saved our lands and our people.

Raya: Father.

Namaari: Mother.

Raya and Namaari: Welcome to Kumandra.

Benja: (chuckles) I'm glad you defeated Chen the conqueror and his army.

Virana: Yes, and we're so glad you found your true love with my daughter.

Raya: Thanks, Virana.

[The tribes walk to the kingdom.]

Raya: Would you like to stay for dinner?

Benja: Would you like to stay forever?

Namaari: (chuckles softly) Dinner would be great.

Raya: Excellent.

Benja: Let's all go inside.

Virana: I'd love to have dinner.

Namaari: So would I.

[Raya, Namaari, Virana and Benja laugh and walk to the kingdom.]

Raya: (narrating) In the end, I've finally found my true love with Namaari. And my ancestors celebrated me for the celebration. I'm the princess who became the warrior. The warrior who became the leader. And the leader who became the legend. And my name is Raya.

[Sisu chuckles as she, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba fly in the sky as they fly up to the title in black screen. The title ripples with water as the scroll opens and the end credits start while the song plays "Lead the Way" by Jhene Aiko. In the mid credit scene after the song, Raya cooks dinner as she hears something and walks out of her kingdom to see Moana on the bridge.]

Raya: Can I help you?

Moana: I'm sure you know Quynh is not finished with Kumandra. The hidden kingdom must be discovered somewhere. We have to find it before he does. There's a war coming. And I'm here to help.

Raya: I'm sorry. (stammers) Who are you again?

Moana: I've gone by many names and protected the five tribes. And like you, I've realized I have a stake in this world. And it's time I started fighting for it.

Raya: Oh. Well, we could definitely use the help. So, glad you're here.

Moana: You know, I never thought I'd see the warriors of Kumandra united and fighting as one. It wouldn't have happened without you, Raya. Your mother would have been very proud.

Raya: (chuckles softly) I hope so.

Moana: Well, I'll be in touch. Oh, and all have called me Moana of Motunui.

[Raya and Moana salute to each other as Moana returns to her boat.]

Raya: I guess I'll see you around. (walks back to her kingdom)

[Moana's boat sails back to Chief Tui as the camera pans back to Heart and the scene fades up to black as text comes up "Special Guest Appearance by Auli'i Cravalho as Moana" and "Raya Will Return". After the mid credit scene, the songs play "If I Never Knew You" by Jon Secada and Shanice and "Reflection (Mandarin Version)" by Liu Yifei while the end credits roll. After the credits and the songs, the closing logos start with RK Films, Valhalla Entertainment, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Disney.]
