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".]

Narrator: Let me tell you the story of the leader of the squad. A dystopian world, A land that's gone to waste. Once upon a time, there was a world between humans and dragons called Kumandra. 500 years ago, 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 she came into the story. And her name... was 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.

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

Chief Benja: Not today.

[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. Today's your 12th birthday.

Raya: Wow. That's fantastic, Ba.

[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 Raya's 12 birthday. Even the trio 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. Greetings, Princess Raya. I'm Yen the Spine Chief.

Talon Chief: I'm Dang Hai the Talon Chief, good princess.

Tail Chief: And I'm Xian the Tail Chief, Princess Raya of Heart.

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

Tail Chief: (giggles) These aren't just any old gifts.

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

Spine 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)

Spine 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 grumble.]

Talon Chief: Settle down, now, everyone. Let's not get angry on Raya's 12th birthday. Let's all be happy and be polite.

[The other lands stop to grumble.]

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.]

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

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

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

Virana: Yes. When Namaari was six, my husband passed away.

Benja: My wife, too. When Raya was six. (Virana chuckles) My new step wife and I will bake a cake for Raya, and you're all invited to Raya's 12th birthday. Let's 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. This is actually the first time I've had rice in a while.

[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 another world, I think we'll be best friends from now on. I wouldn't probably say lovers.

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

[The door opens as the Heart baker rolls the cake to the throne chair and lights 12 candles. They all sing the happy birthday song in Filipino until Raya closes her eyes and blows out the candles. They applaud for Raya.]

Benja: Good blowing, dewdrop.

Raya: Thanks, Ba.

Spine Chief: Come, we should all go to the temple. Just you, me, Namaari, your father, Chief Virana, Dang Hai and 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. We could feel it.

Spine Chief: Princess Raya, I wish for you the gift of love. (blows air)

Talon Chief: My wish is that you'll never be blue, only happy, all the days of your life.

Tail Chief: Raya of Heart, my wish shall be that you'd be loyal, brave, and true.

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

[Suddenly, a crack appears on the ground and emerges Chen and Zang.]

Spine Chief: It's Chen the Druun leader and her shapeshifting assassin Zang.

[Chen and Zang stand before Benja and Virana menacingly.]

Chen: Well, well. (chuckles) What a delightful party, Chief Benja. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and... (laughs sinisterly) How quaint. Even the rabble.

Zang: (clicks tongue) I must say, we really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.

Benja: You're not welcome here.

Chen: Not what? (chuckles) Oh, dear, what an awkward situation.

Virana: And, you're not offended, Your Excellency?

Chen: Why, no. And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift on your daughter.

Benja: No! We don't want your gift!

[Chen approaches Raya.]

Spine Chief: Stay away from the princess!

Tail Chief: Yes, stay away!

[Chen uses her magic to toss aside Spine Chief, Talon Chief and Tail Chief and they land onto the ground. Chen looks at Raya for a moment.]

Chen: Hmm. Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed become the leader of the squad also known as the Dragon Searchers.

Virana: That's a lovely gift.

[Chen looks at the Dragon Gem.]

Benja: Don't do this.

[Chen holds the Dragon Gem on her hand and drops it to the ground, shattering to five pieces.]

Chen: Oops. But... before the Druun attacks Fang on the third day after her 18th birthday, she will reassemble the Dragon Gem and fall into a sleep like death! A sleep from which she will never awaken!

Benja: Chen, please don't do this, I'm begging you.

Chen: I like you begging. Do it again.

[Benja hesitates a moment before he kneels in front of Chen and Zang.]

Benja: I beg you.

Chen: All right. The princess can grant the perfect wish instead of her death sleep, so she can give Namaari true love's kiss. (summons the Druun) This curse will last until the end of time! No power on Earth can change it!

[With a blast of purple light surrounding them, Chen and Zang leave, laughing maniacally.]

Spine Chief: She's summoned the Druun! Raya, pick up the pieces and give them to us!

Raya: Okay! [picks up one piece and gives it to the Spine Chief] One for you. [picks up another piece and puts it in her pocket] One for me. [picks up the third piece and gives it to Virana] One for Virana. [picks up the fourth piece and gives it to the Tail Chief] One for Xian. [picks up the last piece and gives it to Talon Chief] And one for Dang Hai.

Namaari: Raya, are you sure we'll see each other again in six years after we write letters?

Raya: Yes, I'm sure we will. Goodbye, dep la. We'll write letters to each other.

Virana: And thank you for giving me the piece of the gem. Come on, Morning Mist. We're going back to Fang.

Namaari: Take care of yourself, Raya. Come on, Buwan.

[The tribes run away from the Druun as they scream and retreat to their lands while Namaari, Virana and Buwan run back to Fang.]

Raya: Are you gonna come with us, Ba?

Benja: Raya, I... I'd love to, but... you must be safe with your new friends. You'll have to move to Tail with Yen, Xian and Dang Hai. And don't forget to take your pet. (Raya is about to cry and he hugs her, shushing) It's all right. Everything's gonna be fine, you'll see. (kisses Raya on the forehead) I love you, my little dewdrop. Goodbye.

[Benja pushes Raya to the river and gets turned into stone by a lone Druun. Yen, Xian and Dang Hai dive into the river and they swim to Tail with Raya and Tuk Tuk.]

Narrator: Princess Raya, Yen, Xian and Dang Hai have become safe from the Druun's attack in Heart after the Dragon Gem were shattered into five pieces. Secretly, she formed a squad of her own named the Dragon Searchers as they spent for six years searching for Sisu in the desert wastelands of Tail. Chen and Zang made the campgrounds from across the five lands as she turned the Druun into warriors where they rode far and wide to hunt Raya and her friends down. After Xian set the traps in her kingdom and built a bridge, she built a house made of mud and rocks that they might never suffer the touch of Fang soldiers or the Druun permanently. Virana placed the piece of the gem on her staff as she taught her daughter, Namaari, to become the leader to take Raya to Fang. Yen, Xian and Dang Hai began their charge to raise Raya in a house made entirely out of mud and rocks.

Spine Chief: Oh, no! Is this it?

Talon Chief: Looks muddy to us.

Spine Chief: (huffs) Come on. I'm really sorry for your loss, Raya. You'll be completely safe from the Druun and the Fang soldiers.

Talon Chief: I think Yen's right. We'll look after you so we can cook and eat every morning, afternoon and evening. I'm sure we'll be completely safe from the dangers of evil.

Tail Chief: (her stomach growls as she moans) I'm so hungry. Good thing I have leftovers from Heart. (eats a handful of meat) Mm. Juicy. (swallows) Now, there'll be no questions asked. We're all safe from the Druun, we're the three chiefs of the tribes raising the princess of Heart in my homeland. So, let's go inside. Oh, and one more thing. You said you'd write letters to Namaari.

Raya: Yes, I did.

Talon Chief: We're all in the middle of the desert.

Spine Chief: At least no evil will find us here.

[As they enter the house, Tuk Tuk trills and the Spine Chief opens the door and picks him up.]

Spine Chief: There you are. Why are you always hiding? Come on. I'll take you to Raya.

[Spine Chief reenters the house and closes the door. At the Druun campgrounds, Zang informs Chen who squeezes the cloth.]

Chen: So, you have news?

Zang: The tribe chief trio begins to raise Raya in the Tail desert.

Chen: Good. We will find Raya wherever she lives until the Fang army is on its knees. And then... the Fang kingdom will be laid bare. The last dragon will be mine to turn into stone. You have proved useful, assassin.

Zang: (grabs Chen's throat) Not assassin. Warrior. (exhales shakily) I could tear you to pieces before you blink.

Chen: 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. (takes Zang's hand off her throat) When I found you on the Kumandra forest wandering alone, you were exiled. A scorned dog. When I sit on the throne, that dog will have a home. (chuckles)

Zang: We will finish what we started.

Chen: And you will see to it that nothing and no one stands in my way.

[The scene goes to Raya who's 18 years old as she rides on Tuk Tuk to the shipwreck. The text comes up: "Six years later". Tuk Tuk stops as Raya dismounts and looks at the map. Spine Chief, Talon Chief and Tail Chief approach Raya.]

Narrator: As Namaari had said, Raya did turn 18 where the seasons changed.

Spine Chief: Well, this is the place. And I'm sure we'll summon Sisudatu once we get inside.

Raya: Of course we will.

Talon Chief: Hmm. I think I could feel the presence of Sisu as well.

Tail Chief: So can I. You have the dragon pendant Namaari gave you.

Raya: Yes, I have. And that was just six years ago before the Druun returned.

Tuk Tuk: (grunts softly)

[A Druun warrior charges at Raya while he yells.]

Tail Chief: Watch out! (slices a Druun warrior's head) It's all right. It's just a Druun warrior. (a Druun warrior disintegrates) Oh, Tuk Tuk. Let me help you up. (helps Tuk Tuk up) There. Good as new.

Spine Chief: That's strange. A warrior just disintegrated. Man. I have a very bad feeling about this.

Raya: Me too. Let's go inside the shipwreck.

Talon Chief: Great idea.

Raya: Tuk Tuk, stay here. My friends and I are gonna summon Sisu.

[Tuk Tuk whines as Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief enter the shipwreck. At the shipwreck, Raya unrolls the scroll and places the dragon pendant on the grail.]

Raya: Oh, Sisu. Please hear us. We spent six years searching the whole land for you. I missed my father so much. (cries softly) I wish I could see him again. The world was broken, and now we need your help. Please, Sisu. I need you to come to us. (puts a droplet into the grail)

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief summon Sisu as they sing in Filipino. The droplets float and the blue smoke summons Sisu.]

Sisu: (in deep voice) Oh, great one who summons me, terrible one who commands me, I stand by my oath. Loyalty to wishes three.

[Raya stares in awe at her.]

Sisu: (clears throat) I said, oh great... (in normal voice) Excuse me, have you seen my siblings?

Raya: Uh...

Sisu: Help me out here, where's my siblings? If I was just gonna talk to myself, I coulda just stayed in the pendant. Hello! (Raya shivers) Use your big girl voice.

Raya: I'm... (gulps) talking... to a big blue hairy lizard?

Sisu: No! (warbles) I am not a lizard. I am a dragon. There is a difference. Lizards have wings to fly. Have you seen my siblings?

Raya: Your siblings?

Sisu: Yes, and who are you?

Raya: I'm Raya. And those are my friends who raised me like a family. Yen of Spine, Dang Hai of Talon, and Xian of Tail.

Spine Chief, Talon Chief, Tail Chief: (bowing to Sisu) Almighty Sisu.

Sisu: Wow. I didn't know you made new friends. And you have a team of your own.

Raya: That's right. And I called the team the Dragon Searchers.

Sisu: I see. And what do we have here? (picks a jackfruit jerky) Hmm. I haven't had one of these before. (takes a bite into it) Mm. This tastes really... fruity but jerky to me. So, you must be Raya, right? (Raya nods her head) Huh. That's good to hear. I'm Sisudatu, the last of the dragons.

Spine Chief: Wait, you said you had siblings, right?

Sisu: Yes, I have two brothers and two sisters. Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba.

Spine Chief: Wow, so she had four siblings.

Raya: That's wonderful. Oh, look at the scroll. (shows the scroll to Sisu) See? That's how you blasted the Druun away 500 years ago.

Sisu: Oh, yes, that's right. I blasted the Druun away. Wait. (picks up four gem pieces) I see that you have four pieces of the gem. (notices she glows) Hey. Look at that. I'm glowing. Just like a glowworm.

Tail Chief: Raya, I didn't know she'd glow. This is crazy.

Raya: I know. Oh, Sisu, I was wondering if you could help us reassemble the gem.

Sisu: Reassemble the gem? Who broke the gem?

Raya: I'm sure it was Chen, who summoned the Druun and turned them into warriors.

Talon Chief: Wait. Of course.

Raya: Sisu, I know what we should do, once we find new friends, they'll help us reassemble the gem after we travel to Fang...

Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Talon Chief: And boom the Druun away!

Spine Chief: Yes, of course! Raya, let's go find Boun and go to Talon!

[Meanwhile, Raya's hair ring becomes forgotten in the middle of the desert. Buwan smells the hair ring and Namaari, now 18 years old, dismounts as she picks it up.]

Namaari: (sniffs) Hmm. I smell the presence of Sisu. (puts Raya's hair ring in her pocket, walks to the cliff and sees shipwrecks)

Wahn: (approaching Namaari) Princess Namaari, I see that Raya has summoned Sisudatu with her dearest friends. The daughter of Benja could be everywhere. So, I have a question. Why do you keep calling Raya dep la?

Atitaya: That's what I said.

Namaari: Oh. Uh... to... mock her pretty face of course?

Wahn: Understood.

Namaari: So, anyone else wanna question why we're out here? (the Serlots shake their heads) Good. We better find Raya so we can help her reassemble the Dragon Gem. (mounts Buwan)

[Namaari and her generals ride to Xian's castle as Zang sees them.]

Narrator: The hair ring that belonged to Raya had been forgotten, but all Namaari had to do was return this to its rightful owner.

[Outside at Xian's castle, Raya, Sisu, Tuk Tuk, Spine Chief, Talon Chief and Tail Chief have arrived.]

Raya: Are you sure this is your castle?

Tail Chief: Yes, I'm sure it's my castle. Careful, there could be traps. Let's get inside.

Raya: Stay here, Tuk Tuk. We won't take too long. (Tuk Tuk nods his head)

[Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief enter her castle and they dodge the traps. Afterwards, Sisu sees a beetle on her face and picks it up.]

Tail Chief: Sisu, what are you doing?

Sisu: I don't know, Xian, but I'm sure I've seen something very funny. Damn, that beetle's got a big ass. (Spine Chief snickers)

Spine Chief: I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure that's laughably immature.

Tail Chief: But I believe they're actually called Toot 'n Boom.

Sisu: Oh, I see. They are Toot 'n Boom.

Raya: Come on!

Sisu: Right then! Smoke 'em if you got 'em. (throws a beetle away as it explodes after it farts)

Talon Chief: (smells the flatulence) Ugh! What is that smell? Oh, yes, I could definitely smell the big whopping stench. (gags)

Raya: Let's move on, shall we?

[Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief enter the throne room and they walk across the bridge.]

Tail Chief: Welcome to the throne room. This is where I sit on the throne chair and have plenty of food to eat like a royal queen.

Sisu: Yes. (picks up the third piece of the gem) If I just wish I would be human. (shapeshifts into a human) Wait. What just happened? (gasps) I just shape changed! Look how close my ass is to my head! It's gonna make my digestion very much faster than ever. And I have Pranee's magic.

Spine Chief: I truly believe that no binturis should be distracted by us. (chuckles halfheartedly)

Namaari: Binturi, you say? I'm sure that's not precisely what the word really means.

[Buwan walks to Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief.]

Namaari: What's dripping, dep la?

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

Namaari: Yes, it's been six years since we first began writing letters to each other.

Spine Chief: Princess Namaari. What a pleasant surprise.

Namaari: Good to see you, Yen. And Raya, I see that you made another one. You know, I was really worried that you were gonna end up becoming a cat lady. Like me. (pets Buwan)

Buwan: (meows and rubs his head on Namaari)

Namaari: My serlot, Buwan, is a trained warrior cat, the most vicious animal in Kumandra. He's an extension of myself. Nothing phases him, he's stone cold. The only companion for an elite fighter like me. Cutthroat.

Raya: (gasps) Aww, hello there, Buwan. How's my favorite cat doing? (rubs Buwan's head) Awww, you're so cute, you big, sweet furball.

Buwan: (purrs and turns over for belly rubs)

Raya: (gives Buwan belly rubs) Who's a good serlot? You are! You sure like belly rubs, huh? Yes, you do. Ooh, you have a soft fur. Your fangs look really sharp. Who's the happiest serlot? Yes, you are. What a lovely good boy you are.

Buwan: (meows happily and licks Raya's face)

Raya: (laughs) Oh, Buwan, you're really such a happy cat.

[Raya hugs Buwan as he purrs happily and rubs his head on her.]

Raya: So, what can we say? Treasures are our things.

Spine Chief: That's right.

Namaari: So, I was wondering if we could just help you reassemble the Dragon Gem.

Raya: You will?

Namaari: Of course we will. Oh. Hey, Tuk Tuk. It's been six years since Raya showed you to me.

Zang: I believe bling might be treasures. Greetings, Raya. Haven't seen you for six years. (smells Raya's skin) Have you even took a shower every morning? You smell... new. I'm sure we could have a deal and rule all of Kumandra.

Raya: What do you mean rule all of Kumandra?

Zang: You know what I mean, Raya of Heart.

Raya: It sounded like you seem either good or evil.

Zang: I serve Chen. And I think we'd better take you to Fang where you'll be safe from harm.

Raya: What does she need from me? (Talon Chief gives Raya his dagger)

Zang: She needs the pieces of the Gem.

[Raya scars Zang with Talon Chief's dagger on the right cheek.]

Raya: Run!

[Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Talon Chief, and Tail Chief run outside as Namaari mounts Buwan and urges him. Buwan runs outside. Zang groans and mutters. Zang goes after them and Tail Chief traps Zang with beetles. Zang tries to grab them, but he screams in anguish.]

Zang: Get me out of here! No!

[Outside at Xian's castle, Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Talon Chief, Tail Chief and Buwan make it to the front door and exit.]

Raya: That was close.

Zang: (in distance) Get me out of here! No!

Raya: Come on.

[Raya and Sisu mount on Tuk Tuk. They ride to Boun's boat as Zang exits Xian's castle and shapeshifts into a serlot.]

Sisu: Who's that shapeshifting guy?

Raya: It's Zang. He has Pranee's shapeshifting powers.

Sisu: I knew it.

Spine Chief: How's that possible? I can't believe he shapeshifts into a serlot like Namaari's.

Talon Chief: Look! He's onto us!

Raya: Namaari, here's what we should do. We'll split up together. Meet us at Talon.

Namaari: Sure thing, dep la. Right after I talk to my mother.

Tail Chief: I see it! Boun's boat!

Raya: We made it!

Sisu: This'll distract the shapeshifting assassin. (throws a beetle at Zang)

[Tuk Tuk hops onto Boun's boat and trills. Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief walk aboard it. Boun opens the door and sees them.]

Boun: Who dares enter aboard the boat of greatest captain in Tail, Boun?

Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Talon Chief: Boun?

Boun: You heard of me?

Raya: Of course we heard of you. So we were wondering if you could just take us to Talon.

Boun: All right. I'll take you to Talon, and you all have my word. Let's go.

Sisu: I'll take charge of the boat.

[Sisu shapeshifts into a dragon, goes underwater and moves the boat forward to Talon.]

Boun: Whoa. What's happening? It feels like we're moving.

[Raya smirks at the Serlots who meow and she blows a kiss to Namaari.]

Namaari: Aw, that's nice.

Atitaya: I know she blew a kiss to you. Let's talk to Virana and travel to Talon.

Namaari: As you wish, Atitaya. [to Raya] We'll be there, dep la.

[Namaari and her generals ride back to Fang. Zang shapeshifts into his true form and sees Raya on the boat.]

Raya: Bye-bye, binturi.

[Boun's boat goes away to Talon and Zang becomes furious.]

Zang: I will find you!

[On Boun's boat, Boun serves five cups of water, five bowls of soup and five plates of jackfruit jerky and pitayas to Raya, Sisu, Spine Chief, Talon Chief and Tail Chief.]

Spine Chief: Thanks, captain.

Boun: Don't mention it. So, you must be Yen.

Spine Chief: Yep. And this is Dang Hai, and Xian you know.

Tail Chief: Hey, Boun.

Boun: Welcome aboard, Chief Xian.

Talon Chief: Looks like we're traveling to Talon to see my mother.

Boun: That's right.

Spine Chief: Ooh! It's damn hot.

Raya: Then blow on it.

Spine Chief: All right. (blows on his soup and tastes it) Mm. Tastes perfect. (takes one bite into his jackfruit jerky) Sisu's right. It does taste fruity and jerky.

Tuk Tuk: (starts)

Spine Chief: Come on, Tuk Tuk. I was just testing.

Tuk Tuk: (grunts and swallows)

Sisu: So, when were you gonna tell me that you had a crush on Namaari?

Raya: What? Me? Crush? On who? (scoffs) Don't be ridiculous, I don't have a crush on Namaari.

Sisu: You sure about that?

Raya: Positive.

Sisu: All righty then.

Tail Chief: Now, let's hope we'd find the con baby, Noi and her band of ongis.

[At the Druun campgrounds, Chen walks left and right.]

Chen: How is it that the princess of Heart makes a fool of my assassin? On the contrary, she scratched your face with the Talon Chief's dagger. Bring me Chief Benja's daughter, and you let her slip through your damn buttery fingers. No. You swore that you'd bring me the gem! You swore! Now there's no one that I can trust. No one. There's no royalty, no loyalty. None! Not even from you! (furiously) Where are they?!

Zang: They were chased into the land of Talon, where the warrior was killed. Sisu is unstoppable.

Chen: (walks over to Zang and suddenly punches him in the face) Nothing is unstoppable! Not the dragon! Not Raya! Not even her squad! I need the pieces! You failed me, Zang!

Zang: (shouting) Have I not given everything to you!

Chen: (breathes calmly) Have I... not given you everything?

Zang: Yes, my lord. (sobs softly)

Chen: (shushes and uses her magic to heal Zang's face) Silence. I have no powers in the land of Talon. And we'll hunt Raya and her friends down. Bring me the warriors. Then we'll attack Fang in three days.

[The scene goes to the kingdom of Fang. At the gardens, Virana tells the story to the children.]

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: Mother. We're back from Tail.

Fang Child: It's Princess Namaari! She's back from Tail!

[The children run to Namaari.]

Namaari: Did you miss us, kids?

Virana: All right, kids. Settle down now. I think I'll have a word with my daughter. See you next time, kids. Bye!

Fang Children: Bye!

[The children leave.]

Virana: So, how's my morning mist doing?

Namaari: Just doing good. I think I found something. (shows Raya's hair ring to Virana) The hair ring that belonged to Raya.

Virana: I see. It belongs to Raya. Wait. She still lives?

Namaari: Yes.

Virana: Oh, thank Sisu she still lives. Along with her dearest squad. After you wrote lots and lots of letters to her for six years.

Chancellor Hing: Chief Virana, General Wahn and General Atitaya just recently told me that Namaari should stand on the cliff behind the kingdom so she can give the hair ring back to Raya by sunrise. The Druun enemy is vast. Chen, the leader, turned the Druun into warriors. In three days, they'll attack our land.

Virana: Thank you, Chancellor Hing. So, where does Raya travel to?

Namaari: She travels to the land of Talon, where they found a captain of the boat named Boun.

Chancellor Hing: That's good to hear, Princess Namaari. So, I have a question. Is it true that you first met Raya when you were 12?

Namaari: Yes. On her 12th birthday.

Chancellor Hing: Hmm. That's very good to hear.

Virana: Namaari, go to Talon and be there when Raya arrives.

Namaari: Yes, mother. Shouldn't be a problem. Wahn, Atitaya, ready the serlots. We're going to the land of Talon.

Wahn and Atitaya: Yes, Princess Namaari.

[Namaari, Wahn and Atitaya mount their serlots as they ride to Talon. The scene goes to Talon as Boun's boat has arrived. Raya, Sisu, Boun, Tuk Tuk, Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief exit the boat. Namaari, Wahn and Atitaya have arrived as well and Sisu shapeshifts into human.]

Namaari: Made it just in time.

Talon Chief: Princess Namaari. I knew you'd come here. Welcome to Talon, my homeland. And this is Dang Hu, my mother.

Dang Hu: Good to see you, Namaari. And look at what we have here. Sisudatu.

Sisu: Hey there. Raya, I'll go shopping and you find the baby with Namaari and Yen. Oh, wait. I don't have any money.

Raya: Yes, Sisu. Yen, Namaari, Tuk Tuk, come with me. Let's go find the baby and her friends.

Spine Chief: Right away.

Namaari: Yes, dep la.

[Namaari, Tuk Tuk and Spine Chief walk with Raya. They hear and see a con baby babble and sit on the floor.]

Raya: Hey, look. There's a baby. (whispering) All right, Namaari. Yen and I'll distract the baby and you tackle her.

Namaari: Raya, she's a toddler.

Raya: I'm sorry. Noi's a she?

Spine Chief: Yes.

Raya: Okay. I'll go meet her. You stay there and look after Tuk Tuk. Oh, and when the ongis come, tie them up.

Namaari: Yes, Raya.

[Raya and Spine Chief walk to Noi and Raya picks her up.]

Raya: Aww, hello there. You must be Noi. What happened? Did you lose your mother? (Noi nods her head) Aww, that's too shameful. Are you hungry? I'll feed you some breast milk. (Noi shakes her head) No? Already eaten? Oh. That's nice.

[The ongis see Tuk Tuk and Namaari as Dyan chitters then they show them three pitayas.]

Spine Chief: You know, she doesn't look that bad for a con baby who has the moves of martial arts and karate. And I'm sure nothing happens to the pieces of... [sees ongis steal the three pieces of the gem]

Raya and Spine Chief: What? Ongis? [Uka chitters]

Raya: No, don't do it.

[The ongis run off as Noi jumps and kicks Raya and Spine Chief to the ground.]

Spine Chief: (grabs Noi by the foot) Be honest. We just came to see your ass, didn't we? (Noi punches him in the face) Oh!

Raya: A con baby? Really? I don't mean to break it to you, Yen, but I think you accidentally pulled Noi's bottomwear.

Spine Chief: Huh? (sees Noi run with her rear end) Oops. Sorry. After them!

[Raya and Spine Chief chase after Noi and ongis.]
