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

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

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

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

Spine Chief: (chuckles) These aren't just any old 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 grumble.]

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 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 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 gotta say, this palace is nice.

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 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. (bows) 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 loyal, brave, and true.

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 his 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.

Narrator: 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, Raya formed a squad of her own called the Dragon Searchers who would search for Sisudatu wherever she lived while she 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. The Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai began their charge to raise Raya in Tail after they've built a hut made out of concrete and rocks.

[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. Raya opens the door and picks up Tuk Tuk.]

Raya: 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.)

Narrator: As Namaari had said, Raya did grow up to be the leader as she gave her permission to share the scroll. The Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief opened the door and met Raya for the first time.

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: (bowing 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: (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.

Raya: Yeah, as long as you're wearing it, nothing could go... wrong when those binturis arrive.

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 the Shrimporium) 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 the Shrimporium. 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. (bows 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 the boat and swims fast 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, the Shrimporium 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 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've been near the dragon gem. Where is it?

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

Chen: Hmm.

Tail Soldier: I will never betray my own people.

Chen: You already have. (lets him go) Turn them all to stone.

[The Druun humanoids turn three Tail citizens and soldies to stone. Quynh chuckles evilly. The scene goes to Talon as text comes up: "Talon". The Shrimporium 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 also a quality 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 window. Noi pulls down her bottomwear, moons Raya, pulls back up and hops out of the window. Raya goes through the window 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.
