What if Raya and the Last Dragon was a co-production of Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Scott Free Productions?/Transcript

(Disney, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Jerry Bruckheimer Films (without text) and Scott Free Productions (without text) logos start. After the logos, we see Heart, a peaceful kingdom with creatures and people. They live peacefully and harmoniously as text appears and says "Heart, Kumandra, The Philippines" then the credit appears and says "Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present".)

Raya: (narrating) There have been many tales of the great lone rider, me, Raya. But, ancestors, this one's mine.

(The scene goes to young Raya who uses a staff to draw and swing as little Tuk Tuk watches her.)

Raya: Here I am. A young princess of Heart, unaware of the blade. If you had such a daughter, her chi, the boundless energy of life itself speaking through her every motion, could you tell her that only a son could wield chi? That a daughter would risk shame, dishonor, exile? Ancestors, I couldn't.

(Benja opens the door and young Raya sees him.)

Benja: Raya, the puppet show's ready.

Young Raya: Coming, father. Come on, Tuk Tuk. The show's ready.

(Young Raya walks with Benja then little Tuk Tuk hops on Raya's shoulder as they arrive at the throne room with young Namaari who sits in front of a puppet theater with her mother, Virana.)

Young Raya: Oh. Hello.

Virana: Oh. Hey, Raya. You're just in time for the show.

Young Namaari: Yes. So, come on. Sit next to me.

Young Raya: Okay.

(Young Raya sits next to young Namaari as Benja sits next to Virana. The small curtains open as a hand puppet appears on stage.)

Puppeteer: Hey! (laughs) Are you all excited to hear the story of Kumandra where it was a place of humans and dragons?

(Young Raya, young Namaari, Benja and Virana say yes in Filipino.)

Virana: (in English) That means "yes". (young Raya and young Namaari giggle)

Puppeteer: Oh, good. Let me tell you the story of a dystopian world, a land that's gone to waste. How did this world get so broken? Well, that all began 500 years ago. Kumandra. This is what we used to be. When 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... (imitates explosion) 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.

(The curtains close as young Raya and young Namaari feel shocked but surprised.)

Young Raya: Wow. That was remarkable.

Young Namaari: I never thought the story was epic and ironic.

Benja: You're telling me. I thought five of the lands would've been united as one.

Virana: And on top of that, how about you and Namaari can have some lunch and then she can come home to Fang with us?

Young Raya: Oh. But she and I still have to play.

Benja: Don't worry. She'll have to come back in another day, Raya, after you have lunch with her.

Young Raya: Oh. Okay.

Young Namaari: Come on, let's go have some lunch.

(The scene goes to young Raya and young Namaari who have lunch.)

Young Namaari: Raya, what happens when you show the creature to me? It's literally like a show and tell.

Young Raya: I present to you, my nicest pet in Kumandra. (introduces Tuk Tuk to Namaari) Ta-da. This is Tuk Tuk. Tuk Tuk, I introduce you to Namaari of Fang.

Young Namaari: (gasps) Aw, look at him, he's the cutest creature the world has always known. (Little Tuk Tuk trills happily)

Young Raya: I know. He sure looks adorable and sweet. And also gorgeous.

(The scene goes to Virana who talks to Benja.)

Virana: That's because I'm trying to protect Namaari that I say this.

Benja: Raya is young. She's still learning how to become friends with her.

Virana: (scoffs) You make excuses for her. You forget, Raya is a daughter, not a son. A daughter who would find the last dragon.

Benja: Any woman would be fortunate to find the last dragon in Kumandra. Including Raya.

Virana: I ask you, what woman will want to find the last dragon who hasn't been seen for over 500 years? (breathes deeply) Namaari gives me no trouble. Sisu will eventually be found by your daughter, that's all. It is Raya I worry about. They'll call her a menace. It's time you talked to her. (Benja sighs as young Namaari opens the door after she finishes her lunch)

Young Namaari: All finished.

Virana: Very good. And what do you say to Raya?

Young Namaari: Thanks, Raya. Take care of yourself.

Young Raya: Take care of yourself, too, Namaari.

(Young Namaari and Virana walk back to Fang.)

Benja: Dewdrop, come sit next to me. (Young Raya sits next to him) Do you know why Sisu lives in a sacred palace of Tail? She is the last of the water dragons.

Young Raya: But I thought she concentrated her magic.

Benja: (chuckles) Some say the Druun had been defeated by the Dragon Gem, so the gem had been hidden for years. I think she can help you rebuild Kumandra. Your chi seems strong, Raya. But chi is for warriors, not daughters. Soon you'll be all grown up and it is time for you... to find Sisu. To save the world and its people. I say this to protect you. That is my task. Your task is to find the last dragon, Sisu. (Young Raya sniffles) Do you think you can do that?

Young Raya: I believe I can, father.

(The scene fades to black as the title appears and says "Raya and the Last Dragon". The scene fades to a snowy forest called Spine as text appears and says "Spine. Six years later...". In the forest, Siru's assassin named Naari appears from the tree as he morphs into a woman and enters the gate. At the watchtower, a guard watches over the land.)

Spine Guard: Do you think that something might come for the Dragon Gem, chief?

Spine Chief: I don't see why not. Just alert when danger arrives.

Spine Guard: Yes, chief. As you wish. Leave at once.

Spine Chief: I understand.

(Spine Chief leaves. A guard sees something danger and uses a telescope to see the Druun shapeshifter leader named Siru in the mask who rides on his horse-like creature along with his warriors.)

Spine Guard: (gasps) The Druun. It can't be. Close the gate!

(The Spine Guards shout in panic and close the gate. At the Spine city, Naari reveals her true form and the Spine people exclaim in fear.)

Spine Chief: Take out the leader!

(The Spine archer tries to shoot Siru. Siru quickly catches the arrow and shoots the floor. Siru yells as he and his warriors jump off their horses and walk on wall and they attack the guards along with his assassin. A guard screams and falls off.)

Spine Chief: He's way too strong!

(People scream and take shelter. Naari walks to the chief.)

Naari: You can tell Virana that we've been resurrected from our defeat.

(The scene goes to the forest and the camera pans up to the kingdom named Fang as text says "Fang". At the Fang throne room, the Spine Chief talks to Virana.)

Spine Chief: Virana, there's something important I must tell you about this. The city of Spine had been under attack by the most dreadful shapeshifters after the disease was destroyed.

Virana: And what might that be this time?

Spine Chief: It's the Druun. They've been resurrected from their defeat.

Virana: Impossible. I thought they were blasted away by Sisu.

Spine Chief: They're shapeshifters. Their leader is Siru. Along with his assassin known as Naari.

Virana: I'm beginning to think that the Druun should be vanquished once and for all. (The door opens as Namaari and her serlot, Buwan approach her)

Namaari: Hello, mother. Sorry I was busy petting my serlot, Buwan.

Spine Chief: Princess Namaari.

Virana: My little morning mist.

(Virana and Namaari hug each other. Virana chuckles.)

Namaari: What's all the fuss about?

Spine Chief: The Druun have returned.

Namaari: I knew it. They've returned. Why would they return from their defeat?

Spine Chief: Because they resurrect themselves.

Namaari: Damn. So that's why they're resurrected from their defeat. Assemble the army. Prepare to destroy the Druun once and for all. My warriors and I are going hunting for my rival, Raya, who would search the last dragon, Sisudatu.

Virana: Yes, Namaari, my little morning mist.

Namaari: I won't let you down, mother.

(The scene goes to the Druun campground as text appears and says "The Druun Campground". The scene goes to Siru who washes his chest, arms, hands, hair and face then Naari approaches him behind.)

Siru: Has Virana begun assembling the army?

Naari: I believe she has, my lord.

Siru: Good. Then we shall find and destroy the last dragon, Mighty Sisudatu, once and for all. And then all of Kumandra will be mine.

Naari: (angrily grabs Siru by the neck) Not yours. Ours. (lets go of his neck and exhales shakily) Forgive me, my lord. I shouldn't do this again.

Siru: I forgive you, my trusted, worthy assassin. When the battle begins, I hope no one and nothing stands in my way.

(The scene goes to Raya who stands on two tightropes as her eyes are closed and her head sweats. A drop of sweat falls to the sand. Benja approaches her.)

Benja: The first rule is... there are no rules. (draws his arnis staff and jumps on two tightropes) The first one to touch the ground, loses.

(Raya draws her two arnis sticks. She begins fighting her father with arnis sticks. Benja laughs as they turn upside-down and right side-up. Raya sees a beetle as she makes it jump and hits it to Benja's mouth where it seems open as he shouts and swallows. Raya yells and Benja spits out a beetle and he uses his staff to push off Raya then she slides on sand. Benja lands on the sand.)

Raya: (groans) Wait, what just happened?

Benja: You cheated, Raya.

Raya: But that's just not fair! Isn't it why we should have another chance?

Benja: You know what? I don't think we should, dewdrop, because you put the beetle in my mouth. You must concentrate on your combat.

Raya: I know, Dad. I'm using my combat skills. I just wanna be a warrior like other warriors. Teach me how to become a warrior.

Benja: You're already becoming a warrior. I know you use your combat skills. You must have faith in who you are.

Raya: I already have, that's all.

Benja: (chuckles) Maybe that's true. And you know what day today is. It's your birthday.

Raya: Really?

Benja: Yes, you're 21 years old today. And guess what Namaari gave you. The dragon charm necklace. This could detect Sisudatu where she lives. (puts the necklace on Raya) Happy birthday, dewdrop.

Raya: Thanks, Dad. Anyway, I'm gonna have to work on the rice plantations.

Benja: Excellent choice. Now go work on them.

(Raya walks to the rice plantations and work on them. The scene goes to Raya who wears her hat then a rice plantation worker approaches her.)

Raya: Oh. Hey, there. I'm just working on the rice plantations.

Rice Plantation Worker: Hmm. I guess you're doing an incredible work.

Raya: Oh, thanks. I thought so, too.

Rice Plantation Worker: One question. What happened to your mother?

Raya: Uh, I don't know. But my father said everything will be explained to me when I'm finished working on the rice plantations.

Rice Plantation Worker: Oh. So, what might our ancestors say about the upcoming invasion?

Raya: Well, my father would say beware of the Druun.

Rice Plantation Worker: The Druun?

Raya: Yeah, they're the plague that nearly turned humanity into stone over 500 years ago.

Rice Plantation Worker: Well, let's hope it doesn't happen again, hmm? (workers laugh) Let's go back to work.

Raya: All right, I'll work until my father needs me.

(The scene goes to the kitchen as Benja bakes a cake for Raya as he hums a merry cheerful tune. He covers it with frosting and sprinkles then puts 21 candles on top of the cake.)

Benja: Now that's a lovely cake for my dewdrop. This'll surprise her. Oh, I forgot to light the candles. (lights 21 candles) Raya. The cake's ready.

Raya: Coming.

(Raya comes to Benja. At the kitchen, Raya opens the door and sees a birthday cake as she gasps.)

Benja: Happy birthday.

Raya: Aw, thanks, Dad. You baked a cake for me?

Benja: Yes, I baked it when you worked on the rice plantations. I'm really happy you did an awesome work.

Raya: Aw, shucks. (chuckles and sighs)

(Benja sings "The Happy Birthday Song" in Filipino.)

Benja: (in English) Blow out the candles and make a wish.

(Raya closes his eyes and blows out the candles.)

Benja: Well, what did you wish for?

Raya: A new straw hat.

Benja: Oh, that's a lovely wish.

Raya: I think it is.

Benja: You've earned it, dewdrop. The new straw hat is yours.

Raya: (puts on her new straw hat) Thanks. I'll go check on Tuk Tuk. Right after I eat one slice.

Benja: That'd be great.

Raya: Can you please tell me what happened to my mother?

Benja: Hmm. Well, that's a long story. When you were five years old, your mother told us to hide in the bedroom and then she was stabbed in the heart. She was brave, and a warrior like you. And we had a funeral of hers.

Raya: Oh. It must've been hard.

Benja: I know. If only you could see her again. Now finish your cake, please.

(Benja serves a slice of cake to Raya. The scene fades to a dish with a few cake crumbs. Benja picks up the dish and washes it.)

Benja: Waste not, want not. That's my motto. (chuckles)

(At Tuk Tuk's den, Raya gives him a belly rub and he purrs.)

Raya: Aw, who's the most adorable creature? You're the most adorable creature in Kumandra who loves their belly rubs, aren't you?

(Tuk Tuk grunts happily and Raya pats Tuk Tuk's back. The scene goes to Benja who meditates in his room as hears the door being knocked.)

Benja: (opens his eyes) Who is it?

(The door busts open as Benja gasps and sees Siru and Naari.)

Benja: No. It can't be. Who and what the hell are you?

Siru: I'm Siru, leader of the Druun shapeshifters. And this is my assassin, Naari.

Benja: That's impossible. Why would you resurrect yourselves to be shapeshifters?

Naari: It's because we would take over all of Kumandra after we find the missing pieces of the Dragon Gem.

Benja: Then you'll have to go through me. (draws his sword)

(Benja and Siru duel each other. Siru gets a scar on his face and yells in pain. Naari duels Benja and gives him the sickness in his abdomen. Benja cries out in pain as the scene goes to Raya who hears Benja's cry out and gasps. She runs to Benja in his room.)

Raya: Father! No! What happened to you?

Benja: (groans weakly) I'm feeling sick. Put me in the bed. (Raya puts him in the bed) They took the remaining piece of the dragon gem and gave me the sickness. Find Sisudatu in Tail. Tell her the Druun have returned. (coughs) And please, be careful out there. Kill their leader and assassin, bring me the cure, and upon my sickness, you shall be either the new rightful queen of Fang or Heart. The time has come. Take up your whip sword. (moans softly and falls asleep)

Raya: I will, father. I promise. (kisses Benja on the forehead) I'll find a cure for you. And I'll return.

(Raya takes up her whip sword and runs to Tuk Tuk's den and opens the door.)

Raya: (ascends to Tuk Tuk and puts his mask on) Let's go, Tuk Tuk. We must find Sisudatu in Tail and tell her the Druun have returned. (Tuk Tuk grunts) Hyah!

(Tuk Tuk turns into a pill bug as he rolls to Sisu's palace in Tail. The scene fades to the desert wasteland of Tail as text appears and says "Tail". Tuk Tuk travels until they have arrived at her palace. Raya descends Tuk Tuk and takes off her mask. She sees the sign where it says "The Palace of Sisu".)

Raya: Well, this must be the palace of Sisu. Stay here, Tuk Tuk. I'll find her by myself.

(Tuk Tuk grumbles as Raya enters the palace. The scene goes to the hallway as Raya walks to an empty throne. At an empty throne, Raya has arrived and looks at her necklace. She summons Sisu. Sisu opens her eyes and sees Raya.)

Sisu: Who are you?

Raya: I'm Raya, I'm the daughter of Chief Benja. Are you Sisudatu?

Sisu: I believe I am. Can you explain what happened?

Raya: My father felt sick. The Druun have returned from their defeat and became shapeshifters. I'll give him the cure. But before he became sick, he asked me to find you as my task.

Sisu: I'm terribly sorry for your father's sickness, Raya. And I know you'll give him the cure.

Raya: (notices that Sisu glows) Oh, my God. You're actually glowing.

Sisu: Of course I am, and what do we have here? (picks a piece of dragon gem) Hmm. I see that you have a piece of a dragon gem. So that means when I glow, I could detect the other pieces of dragon gem like a locator.

Raya: Cool.

Sisu: (hesitates) Yeah, it's totally cool. (puts a piece of dragon gem in Raya's bag) I'll take you to your friend Boun.

Raya: I have a friend? Where does he live?

Sisu: Here.

Raya: Oh. Right. So that's why Boun lives here. We must find him.

Sisu: Very good. We can't let the Druun take over Kumandra.

Raya: You know the Druun?

Sisu: Yes. I blasted them away once I concentrated my magic.

Raya: Wow. Let's go find Boun.

Sisu: Great idea.

(Raya runs to Tuk Tuk and ascends him. He and Sisu travel to Boun's place. A paw of Buwan steps on the ground and Namaari descends. She picks up a grain of sand and smells the presence of a dragon gem.)

Namaari: Hmm. I smell the presence of a dragon gem.

Atitaya: That must mean they left us tracks.

Namaari: What was that? Tracks?

Atitaya: Yes, Princess Namaari.

Namaari: Good thinking, Atitaya. Once we find, Raya, she'll have to join my mother's army.

Atitaya: Of course we will. So, does that mean you could play chess with her, Sisudatu and your mother?

Namaari: Literally. Chess would be nice, once I bring Raya and Sisudatu to Virana.

(Namaari ascends Buwan and they ride to the canyon. At the canyon, Sisu quickly puts on a straw hat and a jacket. Tuk Tuk jumps over the cliff and lands on the ground. He stops as Raya and Sisu descend.)

Sisu: Hmm. The disguise seems really catchy.

Raya: It sure does. If only you'd wish to become a human.

(The dragon gem glows and Sisu takes it then she turns into a human.)

Sisu: Wait. What just happened? Something must be different from myself. (gasps) Holy hot damn. I'm human. Hmm. Not bad for a gem. I have hands, arms, legs, feet, cheeks, hair, and even bottom. (Raya snickers) Oh. I know it was funny, but this seems actually good.

Raya: I'm glad you liked it.

(Namaari and her warriors arrive at the cliff and they descend.)

Namaari: I'm really glad you liked your journey, dep la.

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

Namaari: To be precise, yes, and I just gave you the dragon charm necklace for your 21st birthday.

Raya: Wow. Thanks for giving it to me, binturi.

Namaari: (chuckles) No problem. So, I was wondering if you could just join the army.

Raya: The army?

Sisu: What does the army need for?

Namaari: To destroy the Druun. Build a bridge over the cliff.

(A Fang warrior builds a bridge over the cliff.)

Namaari: Now, come close to me, and we'll help you reassemble the Dragon Orb.

Raya and Sisu: (in unison) You will?

Namaari: Of course we will. We'll find Boun and we know where he lives.

Raya: Awesome. Come on, Sisu, they'll help us find Boun and they'll reassemble the Dragon Orb.

Sisu: All right.

(Raya and Sisu walk across the bridge and Tuk Tuk jumps over the cliff.)

Namaari: Oh. Hey, Tuk Tuk. It's been six years since Raya introduced you to me. (Tuk Tuk moans) Raya, this is my serlot, Buwan. He's a trained warrior cat, the most vicious animal in Kumandra.

Raya: (gasps) Aww, hello there. You must be her serlot, Buwan.

Namaari: Raya, wait. He's not very good with... strangers.

(Raya pets Buwan while she laughs. Buwan purrs and rubs up against her, twining all around her like a housecat as she gives him scratches and pats.)

Raya: Aww, but I'm not really a stranger, am I, Buwan? No, I'm not. Awww, you're so cute, you big, sweet furball. (Buwan purrs harder)

Namaari: Huh. Maybe he's not usually that good with other people.

Raya: (laughs) Yeah. I’d say we know each other pretty well after six years of being stalked and chased. (Buwan makes an apologetic sound and rubs his head on her) Apology accepted, buddy. Don’t worry. We’re good. (Buwan meows happily and turns over for belly rubs) Awwww, you’re just like your mommy, aren’t you? You act all big and tough on the outside, but you're just a really big softie who loves their belly rubs, aren’t you? Who's a good serlot? You are! You sure like belly rubs, huh? Yes, you do. That's Namaari's good serlot. Ooh, you have a soft fur. Your fangs look really sharp. You're the happiest serlot in Kumandra. Yes, you are. What a lovely sweetie boy you are. (Buwan meows)

Namaari: (scoffs) Showoff.

Siru: I believe you could pet serlots like lady cats, Princess Raya. (notices Sisu in her human form) Well, look at what we have here. Hello, Mighty Sisudatu, the last dragon.

Sisu: Siru. What do you want from me?

Siru: I'm here to get the Dragon Gem back so I can take over all of Kumandra after I kill you for blasting away my ancestors.

Raya: What? You can't do that. She's the last of them. I have to reassemble the Gem with Namaari.

Siru: Hello, Namaari.

Namaari: Siru? What are you doing here?

Siru: To make you read the inscription of the Dragon Gem. Restrain them.

(The Druun soldiers try to restrain Raya. She and Namaari fight them until they get restrained.)

Siru: (draws his sword) Read the inscription! Now! (points his sword at Namaari's throat)

Namaari: Filipino isn't my forte.

Siru: Either you read or I'll cut your throat. That'll shut you up. Now watch your best rival die. Naari! (Naari points her twin sai at Raya)

Namaari: I'll do it! The inscription says that only one person could grant the perfect wish.

Siru: Hmm. Maybe you're so right. Once I grant the wish, the Druun will rise to rule all of Kumandra. Kill them all.

(Raya, Namaari, Sisu and Fang warriors push the Druun soldiers to the ground.)

Raya: We have to go now!

Namaari: Warriors, to Boun!

(Namaari and her warriors ascend their serlots. Raya and Sisu run across the bridge and hop onto Tuk Tuk's back. They ride to Boun's boat.)

Siru: Seize them!

(Siru and his warriors ride on their horse-like creatures to follow Raya, Namaari and Sisu.)

Sisu: They're on us. Quickly!

(A Druun archer shoots an arrow as it passes Raya.)

Raya: Whoa! Did you see that?

Sisu: I believe I did.

Namaari: There! I see the boat!

Raya: Let's jump across the boat.

Namaari: Great idea.

(Raya, Tuk Tuk, Namaari, Atitaya, Buwan, Namaari's warriors, their serlots, and Sisu jump onto Boun's boat. Boun opens the hatch.)

Boun: Who dares enter aboard the boat of the mighty karate kid warrior in Kumandra, Boun?

Raya, Namaari, Atitaya and Sisu: Boun?

Boun: You heard of me?

Raya: Heard of you? Who would've thought they'd call you Boun the Mighty Warrior?

Namaari: Boun the Karate Warrior?

Sisu: Boun the Karate Kid?

Boun: People, please, don't make a fuss. I'm just plain Boun.

Raya: But you're the one...

Boun: Yes, I'm the boat navigator, the cook and I'm also the young teacher as the arts of karate.

Raya, Namaari, Atitaya and Sisu: The arts of karate.

Boun: Yes, the young karate master. Now, what can I do for you today?

Raya: We'd like to go to Talon and meet up with Tong and Noi. I hope they have Ongis.

Boun: All right. Talon it is. (notices Sisu) Whoa. I didn't know you summoned Sisudatu.

Raya: That's right, I did. And I nicknamed her Sisu.

Sisu: Setting course for Talon. All aboard!

(Sisu turns back into a dragon as she goes under Boun's boat and makes a motorboat noise. Siru and his warriors stop. Boun's boat travels to Talon and Siru sees Raya.)

Raya: Bye-bye, Druun Leader!

Siru: Hmm. The Druun Leader. That's what she calls me.

Naari: Sir, I know she has to find the other pieces of the Dragon Gem along with her new friends. That's got to be the best lone rider I've ever seen.

Siru: So, it would seem.

(The scene goes to Boun's boat where it still travels to Talon then the scene goes to Namaari who looks at Raya's whip sword. Boun makes a huge lunch.)

Namaari: I see that you've taken up your whip sword where it turns into a whip. And I know your father felt sick and you're willing to give the cure to him. Isn't that right?

Raya: Yep, I'd definitely tell you that lunch is almost ready. I can feel our taste buds waiting for something to happen. So, do you remember when we had lunch six years ago?

Namaari: Yep, that was a long time ago.

Raya: Wow. When we were children, I knew how Kumandra was all about.

Namaari and Atitaya: Get used to that.

(Tuk Tuk and Buwan have fun.)

Raya: Aw, look at them. Tuk Tuk and Buwan are getting along with each other where they're having fun.

Namaari: I know. Isn't it beautiful?

(Boun clangs the triangle.)

Boun: Come and get it! Lunch is ready! (he stops)

Raya: Oh, look at that. It's ready now.

Namaari: All right.

(Raya, Namaari, Atitaya, and Boun sit. Sisu comes out of the water, dries herself and turns back into human then she sits with Raya. Sisu attempts to pick a fried dumpling then Boun stops her.)

Boun: Ah, ah, ah. Not until we say grace.

Sisu: Oh.

Boun: (chuckles) I'm just joking.

(Raya, Namaari, Atitaya and Sisu chuckle.)

Boun: You can all chow down now.

(Raya, Namaari, Sisu, Atitaya, Boun, Tuk Tuk and Buwan chow down.)

Boun: So, how's everyone's lunch?

Raya: It's... actually good.

Boun: I know. I just made fried dumplings, rice cakes, vegan spring rolls, sushi, cooked shrimp, potato leek soup, carrot sticks, potato skins and more. (Tuk Tuk grunts and swallows) Good swallow. (Buwan licks Tuk Tuk's cheek and Tuk Tuk moans) Ahem. As I was saying, the Druun turned all of my family to stone. I know why you're willing to give the cure to your father who has a sickness.

Raya: Yes, you do. And I'm sorry for your loss.

Boun: Oh, no, it's all right. Everything happens, that's all.

Sisu: So, Raya, are you gonna tell me that you have a romantic crush on Namaari?

Raya: What? A crush on who? No, that's crazy talk.

Boun: I know it seems crazy talk.

Raya: But it was never over.

Boun: I don't understand. Who's after your blood?

Raya: Siru.

Boun, Namaari, Sisu, Atitaya: Siru?

Raya: He's the leader of the Druun shapeshifters.

Boun: So that's why they did it. The Druun have been resurrected to be shapeshifters. They would be damned if they could take over Kumandra.

Raya: (shows her hand to Boun) To Talon.

Boun: (spits on his hand) To Talon. Let's go.

(Raya and Boun shake hands. The scene goes to Talon as text appears and says "Talon". Boun's boat arrives at the dock.)

Boun: Well, this is the place. Let's go find Tong and tell him if they have any pieces of the Dragon Gem.

Raya: All right.

(Raya, Namaari, Atitaya and Sisu follow Boun to Tong's house. Raya meets Dang Hu.)

Dang Hu: Greetings, Raya of Heart. Welcome to Talon. I'm Dang Hu, leader of this place.

Raya: Dang Hu. That's a beautiful name. Come with us.

(Dang Hu follows Raya. They arrive at Tong's house. Boun opens the door and they enter the house. Raya finds Tong's room. She enters his room and holds her sneeze. Tong snores as he lays in bed. Raya sneezes loudly and Tong wakes up with a snort.)

Tong: (in deep voice) Who dares wake me from my slumber?

Raya: Uh, that would be me. I'm Raya, daughter of Benja.

Tong: (in normal voice) Hmm. Can't imagine why.

(Raya throws punches at Tong, but he just casually deflects each one at high speed until he headbutts Raya, knocking her back.)

Dang Hu: Stop!

Tong: I am Tong of Talon, the Invincible! (laughs)

Raya: My father felt sick. (Tong stops laughing)

Tong: Oh. I'm terribly sorry about your father. I heard that you're looking for the cure for your father's sickness.
