Freedom Planet (film)/Transcript

This is the transcript of the 2016 film Freedom Planet.

Prologue: Avalice's Backstory & The Runaway Train
(The 20th Century Fox and Tencent Pictures logos play. Then, we fade to a shot of space.)

Narrator: Hello, everyone. I'm pretty sure you're all asking yourself: What is this movie about? Well, let's see.

(The camera transitions to a planet known as Avalice.)

Narrator: This is the planet of Avalice, home to many kinds of species. How is this planet a thing, you may ask? Well, let's look over its history.

(Transition to a storybook-like sequence.)

Narrator: A long time ago, Avalice was like many other planets: Small, filled with life, and quiet. That is until a spaceship crashed into the surface. A spaceship full of dragons.

(Show a scene where dragons appear from the ship.)

Narrator: When it was found that Avalice had some inhabitants, the dragons used their technology to help the Avalicians survive and prosper. This, along with the Kingdom Stone, merged with each other to form a new one. One that was stronger than ever. The three kingdoms, Shang Tu, Shang Mu, and Shuigang were established with their own power. The Dragons also established their own location in Pangu Lagoon, allowing their influence to pass into one another's generation.

(The screen transitioned back to the shot.)

Narrator: Anyways, let's see what our heroes are up to, shall we?

(Fade to black for a few seconds. Then, fade in to an overhead shot of a field with bees, birds, deer, and many other wildlife roaming around.)

Narrator: The wonderful sights of Avalice is beautiful, don't you think? From the buzzing bees to the whistling birds, nothing can go wrong in-

(A bullet train passes by very quickly.)

Narrator: Wait. What's going on?

(The train was moving at a very fast speed, with passengers inside it!)

Passengers: Help!

(A motorcycle passed by too, which was chasing the train. Driving the motorcycle was Carol Tea, a green wildcat, 12 years of age. Carol took out a walkie-talkie.)

Carol Tea: It's no use, Milla! I can't get any closer to the train!

(The screen froze to display her details in a green background. Then cut to Milla Basset, an ivory-white Hush Basset, 10 years of age.)

Milla Basset: We have to stop it somehow! The train has no engineer on it and is headed straight for danger!

(Again, the screen froze to display her details in a white background.)

(The train continued swooshing down the line at a very fast speed. Carol was losing the train.)

Carol Tea: The train is going too fast! My motorcycle can't reach it in time! Where's Lilac?!

(Then, out of the bushes, came a lavender half-water dragon. It was Sash Lilac, 15 years of age.)

Sash Lilac: I'm on my way, you guys!

(Finally, the screen froze to display details in a purple background.)

Carol Tea: Yeah! You got this, Lilac!

(Since she is a dragon, Lilac managed to reach the train.)

Passenger #1: Who is that?

(Lilac winked at them.)

Passenger #2: She winked at us!

(Lilac jumped onto the bullet train door and opened it. Then she ran to the control room and looked around for the brakes.)

Carol Tea: Lilac! You have to stop the train now! It's approaching the broken bridge!

Sash Lilac: What?!

(She looked out.)

Sash Lilac: Oh, no!

(The camera quickly moved towards the broken bridge, which led down to the cliffs and the river below. Lilac popped her head back into the cab and looked for the brakes.)

Sash Lilac: Brakes! Where's the brakes?

(She frantically looked around desperately for the brakes.)

Carol Tea: Hurry!

(Then, Lilac found the brakes.)

Sash Lilac: A-ha!

(She applied the brakes. Milla was looking over from a watch tower.)

Milla Basset: Come on, come on, come on...

(The train was still moving pretty quickly.)

Carol Tea: Lilac! You gotta get outta there! It's not gonna stop in time!

Sash Lilac: Not now, Carol!

Carol Tea: Come on! Ah!

(Carol stopped as she almost fell in the cliffs. Lilac pulled the brakes as hard as she can. The train had bashed through the danger barrier.)

Milla Basset: Oh, no! I can't dare to look!

(Milla covered her eyes. And then, with a screech and a scratch, the train stopped just in time over the edge. The passengers cheered and whooped for joy.)

Sash Lilac: Phew. That was close.

(Milla opened her eyes, and she also cheered.)

Milla Basset: She did it! She did it!

(She used her puppy float to fly over to Carol. Carol was amazed.)

Carol Tea: Saved the day again, huh?

(Lilac backed the train up to where she can get off safely.)

Sash Lilac: Yep. Now I'm starting to love my new job: Protector of Avalice!

(Milla arrived.)

Milla Basset: Hooray for Lilac!

(Lilac chuckled.)

Sash Lilac: I never thought you wouldn't come.

(A couple minutes later, the police department arrived to help the passengers exit the train safely. Neera Li, a panda, 20-25 years of age, was at the scene too.)

Neera Li: You three outdid yourselves today. And I like that.

Carol Tea: Well, you could say we've trained ourselves a LOT since that battle with Lord Brevon.

Neera Li: Anyways, I'm headed back Shang Tu. I need you to meet me at the temperance bar by 9:00 p.m. today. I've got special news for you.

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, & Milla Basset: Got it!

Neera Li: Okay. Don't be late!

(She left.)

Carol Tea: What do you think it is?

Milla Basset: A prize for what we've done to Avalice!

Carol Tea: Don't get ahead of yourself, Milla. Whatever it is, we mustn't be late.

(Lilac took a deep breath.)

Sash Lilac: Well, team, should we go?

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: Yeah!

Sash Lilac: Alrighty.

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, & Milla Basset: Shang Tu Palace, here we come!

(The three walked together towards the camera before it freezes midway to a stylized opening credits sequence, with a James Bond-style theme playing in the background.)

Part 1: "Best Friends Forever"
(We fade into a shot of leaves.)

Narrator: Okay. Now the story should begin.

(A pair of squirrels climbing down the branches of a tree and down to the ground as the camera follows them. They scramble away as Lilac, Carol, and Milla stepped through the forest of Dragon Valley.)

Sash Lilac: And to think you all were scared I weren't gonna stop the train from falling down. Come on, you saw what happened when we battled Lord Brevon. I managed to fight him down to the death, and then boom! All went well afterwards.

Milla Basset: I didn't even get to see it.

Sash Lilac: That's because you fainted afterwards.

Carol Tea: So what now?

Sash Lilac: You know...

(A gust of wind blew across them with a musical-sounding note. Lilac sneered at that.)

Sash Lilac: I'm thinking of a song coming on.

Carol Tea: Wait a second, we're singing now?

Sash Lilac: Come on... Lighten yourself up! It's about time we spend some "friend time" together. As a team!

(The scene transitioned into a 2D-animated format.)

Milla Basset: Oh no, why are we 2D-animated now?

(A song titled "Best Friends Forever" played.)

Sash Lilac:

There was an age before we met

It was a scary time

But when you filled my heart with joy

It's time to flip the dime

So we've gone from nobodies

To some big-time heroes

And don't forget this piece of advice

Don't obey the haters who call you zeroes

Sash Lilac:

Cause we all stick together

And friends don't fight each other

So don't just stand there

All while we all are here

Cause we're best friends forever!

(Short break.)

Carol Tea:

I was a soldier of the Scarves

Until I met the only you

It was a rocky start for us

But I'm glad I changed my entire view

Milla Basset:

I was all alone in this world

Nobody to confess myself

But when I saw you down that end

"It's time to meet new friends" I said

And look where we are now, being with my good ol' friends

All:

Cause we all stick together

And friends don't fight each other

So don't just stand there

All while we all are here

Cause we're best friends forever!

Milla Basset:

But when the world is dark as now

And you're gloomy and have an upsetting frown

Sash Lilac:

Just know that we are all around

Here to flip that frown upside-down

And focus on the bright side now!

All:

Cause we all stick together

And friends don't fight each other

So don't just stand there

All while we're here

Cause we're best friends forever!

Cause we all stick together

And friends don't fight each other

So don't just stand there

All while we're here

Cause we're best friends forever!

(The song ends with Lilac, Carol, and Milla laughing to each other.)

Carol Tea: Hey, Lilac?

Sash Lilac: Yeah, Carol?

Carol Tea: Do you think where we will actually break up?

Sash Lilac: What do you mean?

Carol Tea: You know, if we somehow get the biggest quarrel we've gotten, we choose to go our separate ways and never plan to meet again? Like last time?

Sash Lilac: Hopefully not.

Milla Basset: I agree. This friendship has gotten stronger ever since we fought Lord Brevon.

Sash Lilac: I know.

Carol Tea: Anyways, what time did Neera ask us to meet with her at the bar?

Sash Lilac: Oh, yeah! I forgot about that! I believe it was 9:00 or something this evening?

Carol Tea: Mmm...

(She looked at the Sun above.)

Carol Tea: I think we still have time.

Sash Lilac: So what does that mean?

Carol Tea: It means we can spend some high-quality "friend time" together!

(We begin a montage of Team Lilac spending some real "friend time", such as playing at an arcade, feeding the ducks [but unfortunately get tackled], water-skiing, etc., as a variation of "Best Friends Forever" plays in the background. And finally, it was almost nighttime. Lilac, Carol, and Milla were exhausted as they laid back on the couches in their treehouse.)

Carol Tea: Ah, that's the stuff. Except for that duck feeding.

Sash Lilac: Carol, you've got a piece of duck feather on your hair.

Carol Tea: I know. Don't mind that.

Milla Basset: Wait! What about our meeting with Neera?!

Sash Lilac: Oh shoot, I forgot about that! Come on, girls! Let's go!

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla got up and left the treehouse.)

Part 2: The Meeting
(Fade in to a temperance bar in Shang Tu, where Lilac, Carl, and Milla arrive.)

Milla Basset: So this is where she wants to meet us?

Carol Tea: Beats me.

Sash Lilac: Cut it out, girls. We've got some meeting to do.

(The three enter the bar. They look for Neera. She was waving her hand at the bar itself.)

Neera Li: Girls, over here!

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla went over to Neera.)

Neera Li: What the heck have you girls been doing?

Sash Lilac: Kind of a long story. Very boring, too.

Carol Tea: So why'd you call us here, Neera?

Neera Li: Remember that package I sent you?

Sash Lilac: The stuffed animal?

Neera Li: Yeah, that. Did you open it?

Sash Lilac: What?

(Neera sighed.)

Neera Li: You didn't open it, did you?

Carol Tea: What are you talking about, Neera?

Neera Li: That stuffed animal I sent you came with a message.

Sash Lilac: Well, what is it about?

Neera Li: I'm not gonna tell you a lot, but it's about something called "grievance". From someone known as Lord Kuro.

Milla Basset: Who?

Neera Li: Lord Kuro. Remember those protests happening yesterday? About Lord Kuro coming to invade Avalice?

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, & Milla Basset: Uhh...

(Cut to various sequences of protests and riots in many places across Avalice.)

Protestant #1: Lord Kuro is about to destroy us!

Protestant #2: Do something about it!

(Then, cut back to present day.)

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, & Milla Basset: No...

Neera Li: Ugh. Goddamn it.

(Then, a TV broadcast from the ceiling interrupts their conversation.)

TV Broadcast: And now, for some more breaking news.

Milla Basset: Guys, the news!

(Lilac, Carol, and Neera look up to the TV.)

''News Reporter: Tonight, hundreds of Avalicians have stepped through the doors of Shang Mu City Hall protesting about the invasion of Lord Kuro. This guy again? Anyway, we cut to our correspondent Lupa, who is at the scene. Lupa?''

Lupa: ''Thank you, Steele. We're live at Shang Mu City Hall, where the doors have just broken down from the frames, and everyone is rambling inside to speak to Mayor Zao. We've got some people here to ask about why this is happening.''

Interviewer #1: ''Everyone, if you have a telescope, look up into the sky and look closely. If you spot it, you got it.''

Interviewer #2: ''I'm telling you, we've got proof! And you're not helping!''

(Interviewer #3 just stood there, shivering in front of the camera.)

Lupa: Not much detail from them, but-

(The TV shuts off.)

Bar Owner: Okay, everyone. I'm sorry to say this, but by order of the Shang Tu Police Department, we are all forced to close down business and go home now.

Neera Li: What? But I'm the chief of the Police Department. There's no way someone other than me ordered this.

Bar Owner: Sorry, chief. All royal guards have made this decision.

(Neera was dumbfounded.)

Sash Lilac: Hey, Nee-

(Neera shuts her up.)

Neera Li: I'll see you tomorrow.

Sash Lilac: See you tomorrow, I guess.

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla exited the bar.)

Carol Tea: What in the world was that?

Sash Lilac: Dunno.

(The three walked back to their treehouse. An hour later, at their treehouse, they all climbed in. Carol yawned.)

Carol Tea: It's getting late. I should probably head to bed now. See ya tomorrow.

Sash Lilac & Milla Basset: Goodnight!

(Carol closed her room door.)

Milla Basset: Lilac?

Sash Lilac: What's up?

Milla Basset: You don't think the rumors about Lord Kuro are true, right?

Sash Lilac: That? Pfft, those are just fake news! I don't know where they got it from, but they're just faking it!

Milla Basset: I hope so. I don't want things to happen like before.

Sash Lilac: Don't worry, Milla. Carol and I will protect you, no matter what.

Milla Basset: You will?

Sash Lilac: I will.

(The night outside was getting darker.)

Milla Basset: Oh dear, it's getting late. Let's go to bed now.

Sash Lilac: Yeah. I'm already tired.

(They both went inside their rooms.)

Part 3: Discovery
(It was 12:00 A.M. Everyone in the nearby Shang Tu was fast asleep. All except for Neera, who was looking over a watch tower there.)

Neera Li: Lord Kuro... What ever is this thing?

(She looked up into the sky and spotted an unusually small bright object in the sky.)

Neera Li: What the?

(She went inside to grab a telescope and pointed it to the sky.)

Neera Li: Wait a second, is that...?

(She took a closer look to see a spaceship-like object in the sky.)

Neera Li: No. It can't be, can it?

(She ran back inside to look at some paper files. Many of the papers read: "Lord Kuro is coming to destroy us all!")

Neera Li: Oh no. I've gotta call them!

(Meanwhile, back at Lilac's treehouse, a telephone rung. Lilac was tired to walk, but she didn't want to miss the call.)

Sash Lilac: (tiredly) Hello? You've reached Sash Lilac.

Neera Li: Sash, you, Carol, and Milla have to come here now!

Sash Lilac: What? Why? It's twelve in the morning.

(She yawned.)

Neera Li: Come on, it's very important.

Sash Lilac: Just cut to the chase.

Neera Li: It's about Lord Kuro.

Sash Lilac: Wait. Lord Kuro?

Neera Li: ''Yes! I think I've found him.''

(Lilac was surprised.)

Sash Lilac: Hold on, really?

Neera Li: Just come here now!

Sash Lilac: Okay, okay! I will! Just let me wake Carol and Milla first.

Neera Li: ''Whatever. Just come here quickly.''

(The telephone hung up.)

Sash Lilac: Oh dear. Lord Kuro is actually real? Yeah, I'm definitely going to see Neera.

(She ran to Carol and Milla, who were sleeping.)

Sash Lilac: Carol! Milla! Get up! We have to meet Neera!

(Carol and Milla woke up; they both felt hungover. Carol yawned as she woke up.)

Carol Tea: Why? It's very late. What's so important that she had to call us there to Shang Tu to meet her? We just talked with her hours ago!

Sash Lilac: Well... This has something to do with the incident.

Milla Basset: What incident?

(Lilac said nothing. Carol and Milla were surprised.)

Milla Basset: You mean, like that bad guy who was rumored to destroy Avalice as we know it?

Sash Lilac: Yes, that!

Milla Basset: Oh no...

Carol Tea: I don't feel like going right now...

Sash Lilac: Come on!

Carol Tea: Okay, just give us ten minutes.

Sash Lilac: Fine. I'll be waiting outside.

(Lilac closed the door.)

Milla Basset: What was that?

Carol Tea: I dunno.

(An hour passed, and Team Lilac arrived at the watch tower. Neera was waiting nearby.)

Neera Li: Took you long enough.

Sash Lilac: Blame it on those two.

Carol Tea: It's not our fault!

Neera Li: We'll talk about that later. For now, this is what we have to worry about.

Milla Basset: What is it?

Neera Li: Come with me.

(Neera entered the watch tower. The rest of Team Lilac followed.)

Neera Li: So I know it sounds completely crazy, but I think I might have spotted Lord Kuro's ship. You know, the one everyone's been talking about?

Carol Tea: That guy? Pssh! It's an old rumor. There's nothing to worry about!

Neera Li: It may so at first. Go look at it on the telescope yourself.

(Carol shrugged. Then she looked through the telescope.)

Carol Tea: I don't see anything.

Neera Li: To your upper right.

(Carol moved the telescope to the upper right and spotted a white dot in the sky.)

Carol Tea: That thing?

Sash Lilac: Hold on, let me check it.

(Carol moved aside to have Lilac look through the telescope. Lilac looked at the dot.)

Sash Lilac: It seems like...

(Then, she gasped.)

Sash Lilac: A spaceship!

Neera Li: See? I told you he's real.

Sash Lilac: But how can that be?

Neera Li: Beats me.

Milla Basset: So what does that mean?

Sash Lilac: Don't ask me. For the first time in a long time, I don't know what to do now.

Neera Li: Well, don't fear, because I have a plan.

Carol Tea: Which is?

(Neera Li sneered. Then, she pulled off some tarp to reveal a white board with some markings on it.)

Neera Li: I've concocted a plan the moment I've found that. We're gonna have to get up there ourselves.

Milla Basset: Into outer space?

Neera Li: Exactly.

Sash Lilac: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Neera! We've done this already! There's no reason for us to go back up there into space again!

Neera Li: Look, do you want to save the world again or not?

Sash Lilac: Well, we don't want the whole world to end for a second time, so-

Neera Li: There. Enough said.

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla looked at each other.)

Carol Tea: Okay, so if we are going to get up there, how will we do that?

Neera Li: Here's the plan.

(Cut to a 2D-animated format sequence.)

Neera Li: We need resources such as rocket fuel. And especially, everyone knows you need titanium to build a rocket to space. Otherwise, the rocket will tear apart, exposing you to the vaccum of space, and eventually, kill you.

(Milla's expression went dark upon hearing that. Carol wrapped her arms around Milla.)

Carol Tea: Dude. Too far.

Neera Li: Well, sorry.

Sash Lilac: Okay, then what?

Neera Li: Once we get to space, we'll have to fly through the field undetected, because the guards of Lord Kuro's ship are up 24/7. So we need to find a way to get through stealthily without causing a scene.

Carol Tea: Yeah, no way we're gonna get out of this successfully.

Neera Li: If we do get through, however, we'll sneakily walk through the halls of the ship without being spotted. Because once again, the guards are up all day, no matter how tired they are. And then, once we find Lord Kuro, we fight him off to the death. If we manage to defeat him, we leave the ship, which somehow mysteriously blows up the minute we exit, and all is all, Avalice is saved!

(Fireworks exploded in the background of a starry night sky. Then, the sequence ends.)

Neera Li: Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Sash Lilac: Okay, so let me get this straight. We go back up to space, enter a spaceship, track down this massive lord that could potentially destroy us all, brawl to the death, with a slight chance of winning, and if we do, we leave the ship, and hooray, hurrah, Avalice is safe. Is that it?

Neera Li: I only recruited you for this mission because of your sense of bravery fighting Lord Brevon.

(Carol sighed.)

Carol Tea: Look, just because we saved the world from some bad evil guy doesn't mean we could do something like it again.

Neera Li: How about you look here. Avalice is in total risk of being annihilated, and you're all not even wanting to save it from happening. Are you even aware of the gravity of this situation? Look at you three. Proclaimed the heroes of Avalice. If Lord Kuro destroys this world, who will be the one responsible for it?

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla frowned as they listened.)

Neera Li: Exactly. Now, are you going to help this poor little world from dying from an intergalactical lifeform, or just leave it and let it do its thing?

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, & Milla Basset: We're going up there and kick Lord Kuro in his butt!

Neera Li: That's what I'd like to hear.

Carol Tea: Hold on. Don't we need some new recruits for this type of mission? I mean, they may have stuff that could be useful if something comes up.

Milla Basset: Oh, that's a great idea! It's not bad to ask for someone new on our team.

Carol Tea: That and we can do space training.

Neera Li: Well, I suppose those could work. I'll allow that. Now go.

(Pan up to space, where Lord Kuro's ship was approaching Avalice at high speeds. A dark green alien approached the console of the ship. He sneered evilly.)

Lord Kuro: Enjoy your last days of life, Avalice. For you will be annihilated completely.

(He cackled maniacally before Yoru, Kuro's assistant, popped up with a cup of tea on a plate.)

Yoru: Your tea, sir?

Lord Kuro: Oh, yes, please!

(Kuro took the cup from Yoru's plate and drank it. Then he placed it back on the plate.)

Lord Kuro: Lovely drink. Keep up the good flavoring, Yoru!

(Yoru left.)

Lord Kuro: Now, where was I? Oh yes!

(He continued cackling before the screen faded to black.)

Part 4: Recruitments
Sash Lilac: What do you mean "you're not going to help us save the world?" You live here too!

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla were operating a table, handing clipboards with a signature box near the Shang Mu City Hall. Mayor Zao popped out of the hall door.)

Mayor Zao: Hey, how's that marketing of yours going?

Carol Tea: It's flunking right now. Literally no one is signing up!

Mayor Zao: Oh. Well, good luck with that. I know you can do it!

+5 SARCASM

(Zao went back inside. Milla sighed.)

Milla Basset: Let's just face it, guys. No one is going to join our team. I mean, look at the gravity of this situation, for crying out loud! We could be risking our lives a second time just to save Avalice from total devastation!

Carol Tea: Maybe so, but it's better than just not doing anything at all and let Kuro do his thing, right?

Milla Basset: Yeah, you might be.

Sash Lilac: No, no, no! Wait! Come back!

(A citizen shoves Lilac off of him and walks away. Lilac looked away.)

Sash Lilac: This is impossible. Does anyone on this planet know what "the end of the world" means?

Milla Basset: Maybe they're just walking it of as fake, so as to not do anything.

Sash Lilac: You could be right, but they just protested about it yesterday! So I don't know why they immediately don't do anything. It's stupid if you ask me.

(Carol sighed. Then the three turned their backs away from the table.)

Carol Tea: Face it, Lilac. No one's going to help us. We're on our own now.

(Then, without even noticing, a red panda and a white/baby-blue fox walked up to the table and signed the boards.)

Carol Tea: ...so now, we're going back.

(When the three turned back, they saw the two and were surprised.)

Lei: If you still have room?

Ai: Yeah. We'd like to help!

(Lilac looked at Carol with a big smile on her face.)

Sash Lilac: You were saying?

Carol Tea: Ugh...

(Lei and Ai's names appeared on the screen.)

Milla Basset: So you're gonna help us?

Lei: Yeah. I mean, why in the heck wouldn't we? Avalice is our home! We never want to see it go.

Ai: And whoever doesn't is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Lei: Ai, I don't think that's how it works.

Sash Lilac: Well, say no more! You're hired!

(Lei and Ai beamed with excitement, jumping up and down in a sparkly background.)

Lei & Ai: Yay! We're gonna be heroes!

Carol Tea: Now hold on just a moment there.

(Lei and Ai stopped midway. They hit the ground with a thud.)

Carol Tea: This is mainly our mission. So you're just gonna be the secondary soldiers.

Milla Basset: Carol, don't say that! Sorry, girls. There was a bit of a mishap there. You will be heroes.

Ai: So we will be. Wildcat, get your facts right.

Carol Tea: I'm not trying to be mean here, but we're the organizers of the whole world-saving mission right here.

Ai: We'll take it!

Carol Tea: (to herself) I'm telling you, this might be a big mistake, you girls.

Sash Lilac: Okay, all we need to do is make sure everyone in Avalice has preparations.

(Inside the Shang Mu City Hall, Zao stood by a window overlooking the city.)

Mayor Zao: What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do?

(Then, Mitt, one of his assistants, burst through the door.)

Mitt: Chief!

Mayor Zao: What is it, Mitt?

(Zao sat on his throne.)

Mitt: A spotting of Lord Kuro's ship was just confirmed! See for yourself!

(Mitt flipped a picture over, showing Lord Kuro's ship in front of a space background.)

Mayor Zao: Where did you find this picture?

Mitt: One of our agents sent it over from Shang Tu.

Mayor Zao: Shang Tu?

(Then, Zao realized who sent it.)

Mayor Zao: (to himself) Neera...

Mitt: What shall we do with it? Shouldn't we issue an emergency plan or something? I mean, Lord Kuro could be coming here at any moment now! We can't stand around here sitting ducks!

Mayor Zao: Don't worry, Mitt! I'm sure all this would blow off eventually.

+5 UNCERTAINTY

Mitt: Okay, chief. But you've gotta atleast do something.

Mayor Zao: I will. I will.

Mitt: Thank you.

(Mitt left Zao alone in his throne room. Meanwhile, at Shuigang, Prince Dail sat on his throne. His assistant Shiro came up.)

Shiro: Son of the Fallen Kingdom, we have a problem.

Prince Dail: What important deed do you have that has to bother me at short notice?

Shiro: It involves Lord Kuro.

Prince Dail: Ugh. This is getting on my nerves.

Shiro: We understand that, but everyone is asking what you'll do.

Prince Dail: This isn't our problem at this time.

(Then, at Shang Tu, the Royal Magister overlooks the city. His assistant Lóng and General Gong, the general of the army, comes up as well.)

Lóng & General Gong: Your Excellency.

Royal Magister: What brings you here, my chosen ones?

General Gong: We believe you are aware of the rumors of Lord Kuro?

Royal Magister: Ah. Him. What seems to be the problem?

Lóng: Everyone keeps protesting about it all day! We have to do something.

Royal Magister: I can assure you we are doing the best we can to contain the situation.

Lóng: Please, Your Excellency. This is important news.

Royal Magister: Okay. I'll invite Prince Dail of Shuigang and Mayor Zao of Shang Mu over to Shang Tu for a board meeting discussing the situation.

Lóng: Thank you.

Royal Magister: Take care, you two.

(Meanwhile, at the watch tower in Shang Tu...)

Sash Lilac: WHAT?!

(The screen cuts to reveal Spade, a panda; around 18-20 years of age.)

Sash Lilac: We have to work with him?!

Spade: Chill, Sash. It's only temporary.

Sash Lilac: Neera, why did you get him on our side? He's our nemesis, for crying out loud!

Neera Li: I managed to get in contact with Spade a few hours ago, while hiding from the police. He said he'll come out of hiding, and both of you will be at truce for a short while, then you'll be enemies again, just like before.

Spade: Exactly what she said.

(Then, Spade walked over to Lilac.)

Spade: (whispering) Hey. Between you and me, I think this could be a good way to at least get a bond together.

(Lilac was furious. An anime-like vein-popping symbol was seen on her forehead.)

Ai: You think those two get along so well?

Lei: I doubt it.

Neera Li: Now, now, Ms. Angry Bird...

(Carol and Milla sniggered.)

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: "Ms. Angry Bird."

Sash Lilac: Shut up.

Neera Li: So we've already gotten a crew set up for our mission.

Ai: Like an actual mission control?

Neera Li: Not really. We're on our own this time if we're gonna go up there.

Lei: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on. Hang on a second there!

(Everyone looked at Lei.)

Lei: All of us are going to space?

Neera Li: Yeah. What else would we be doing?

(Lei began hyperventilating.)

Ai: Lei? Calm down. Calm down!

(Ai turned to everyone else.)

Ai: She's just a bit worrisome about space, because well, you know, the dangerous effects it lurks up there?

Carol Tea: Can't blame her for that.

(Then, Lei finally fainted and fell to the ground. Lilac turned to Neera.)

Sash Lilac: So when are we beginning space training?

Neera Li: Your training starts now.

(Cut to an interior of a space center. Professor Watu, the head of the center, is there.)

Professor Watu: So you seven are going to space?

Sash Lilac: Corrrect.

Professor Watu: Well, you're in luck. We've got high-quality space training material that could get you ready in no time! Behold! The centrifuge!

Milla Basset: Oh my.

Professor Watu: One of the fastest vehicles in the world. Be careful not to throw your guts out!

Sash Lilac: Well, this is our only way.

(Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai entered the centrifuge.)

Professor Watu: Why aren't you guys going?

Neera Li: Oh no, we'll be fine.

Professor Watu: You sure? As an astronomist for the past two years, there'll be a lot of consequences of not doing training.

Spade: She said we'll be fine. It's just those five that need training.

Professor Watu: Alright. Come with me.

(Neera and Spade followed Watu into a control room.)

Professor Watu: 10 g-forces. Maximum speed.

(Watu pulled a lever that activated the centrifuge.)

Carol Tea: Oh look. We're moving.

Lei: And fast!

(The centrifuge reached 1 g-force.)

Spade: Going fast, eh?

Professor Watu: It's going more than that.

(Watu moved the lever to 3 g-forces. The centrifuge began spinning faster.)

Milla Basset: Oh my gosssh!

(The centrifuge continued spinning faster and faster until it reached 10 g-forces. Then it began going slower.)

Neera Li: Well, that was a surprise.

(When Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai got off, they looked dizzy and surprised.)

Sash Lilac: That... was something we- we'd never t-thought we'd ex-experience.

Milla Basset: Out of the way!

(Milla vomited off the ledge. Neera gave her a pat.)

Neera Li: There, there.

Carol Tea: How many more are we gonna do?

Professor Watu: Until we find that you're ready.

(Cut to a one-minute montage of the gang training, such as running on treadmills, going on the centrifuge twice, and rocket testing. When all of this finishes, Lilac, Carol, and Milla are exhausted, drinking water from cups. Ai was laying on the floor, while Lei was asleep.)

Professor Watu: Congratulations! You finished your training.

Sash Lilac: Thank goodness for that. When do we leave, Neera?

Neera Li: Tomorrow. Meet at the watch tower early at 7 a.m. sharp.

Sash Lilac: Got it.

Carol Tea: Come on, guys. I've had enough training for one day.

Ai: I'll just carry Lei.

Professor Watu: Good luck!

(Lilac, Carol, Milla, and Ai, with Lei in her hands, left the building.)

Spade: You do know why I became enemies with Lilac in the first place, right?

Neera Li: Yeah. You don't have to tell me.

Part 5: A Visit At Lei & Ai's
(Lilac, Carol, Milla, and Ai, with Lei in her hands, were walking down a street.)

Sash Lilac: Hey, uh, we never got to introduce ourselves to each other, so I'll start. I'm Sash Lilac. These two are Carol Tea and Milla Basset.

Carol Tea: Hello.

Milla Basset: What's up?

Ai: Nice to meet you, Sash Lilac.

Sash Lilac: I prefer to be called Lilac. Nothing personal, just Lilac.

Ai: Well, in that case, nice to meet you, Lilac. I'm Ai. The panda that just fainted is my best friend Lei.

Carol Tea: I feel bad for her.

Ai: How come?

Carol Tea: Just moments ago, she fainted.

Ai: Oh, she just has astrophobia.

Sash Lilac: What?

Ai: Fear of space.

Sash Lilac: Well, why'd you guys sign up at the table in the first place?

Ai: We didn't think the mission would be to go to actual outer space, per se.

Sash Lilac: It just said "Come with us to save the world!"

Ai: Look, we thought this would be about some environmental protest or something.

Milla Basset: I think it would be important for you to read the context next time you sign up for something big.

Ai: Yeah, I know. Lesson learned.

(The four girls arrived at Lei's house. It had two stories.)

Carol Tea: Is this your house?

Ai: No, this is a stranger's house.

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla looked at Ai in confusion.)

Ai: Of course this is our house! Well, technically, Lei's house. I just spend most of the days with her in this very house.

Sash Lilac: Anything else you'd like to point out?

Ai: Oh, yeah! Lei has a sister. She's a bit playful and she always cares for those she loves, and I think you'll be one of them soon.

Milla Basset: She sounds fun.

Ai: Believe me, "fun" is her middle name.

Milla Basset: Really?

Ai: I'm just kidding. Come on in, guys!

(Ai unlocked the door leading inside the house, and they all entered.)

Ai: Mr. and Mrs. Ember! We're back!

(Mr. and Mrs. Ember went to the living room.)

Mr. Ember: Oh, hello, Ai! Who are these new friends you brought here?

Ai: I'd like to introduce you to Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, and Milla Basset.

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, & Milla Basset: Hello.

Mrs. Ember: Well, it's lovely to meet you all. Do you want some coffee or a donut or some crackers?

Carol Tea: No thank you.

Milla Basset: I'd like some crackers!

Mrs. Ember: Okay. Until I prepare them, why don't you three get comfy on that couch? You must've had a long day already.

Mr. Ember: Yep. Make yourself at home.

Mrs. Ember: By the way, what happened to Lei?

Ai: It's kind of a long story.

Mrs. Ember: Okay. I'll be right back.

(Mrs. Ember went to the kitchen, while Lilac, Carol, Milla, and Ai sat on the couch beside Mr. Ember.)

Mr. Ember: While she's making the crackers, why don't you three tell me a bit about yourselves?

Sash Lilac: Sure! I'll start. I'm Sash Lilac, though I prefer to be called Lilac. I'm a water dragon, though I have a genetic defect that prevents me from breathing underwater, so I'm just a "dragon".

Carol Tea: I'm Carol, Lilac's best friend. I drive a motorbike around the woods for fun and I tend to sleep for half a day.

Milla Basset: And last but not least, I'm Milla. I became friends with Lilac and Carol after I saved them from a collapsing cave months ago. I tend to be shy most of the time, but I'm always willing to help people every step of the way!

Mr. Ember: Oh, wow. You three seem to be a perfect trio.

Sash Lilac: Thanks. We tend to get into arguments sometimes, but we'd never want to split up.

(Carol coughed.)

Carol Tea: (whispering to Lilac) What about the time we got into a big fight and I ran away from you?

Sash Lilac: (whispering to Carol) That doesn't count.

(Lei woke up from her fainted sleep.)

Lei: Oh. I'm home.

Mr. Ember: As always, Lei.

Lei: Dad? Where's Mom?

Mr. Ember: She's making some crackers for our new guests here.

Ai: Their names are Lilac, Carol, and Milla if you hadn't heard yet.

Lei: Well, that's good.

(Suddenly, from upstairs came a smaller red panda half the size of Lei. Milla's ears twitched.)

May: Hey, big sister!

Lei: May! What's going on?

May: You'll never guess what happened while you were gone!

Lei: What is it?

May: Okay, so you know how I play poker with my friends online, right? And I lose always?

Lei: Yeah...?

May: Well, I finally beat 'em!

Milla Basset: Lei, is this your sister?

Lei: Yeah, why?

Milla Basset: Ai did tell me she'd be playful.

Ai: Well, it's mainly on the games, but it still kinda counts.

(Then, Mrs. Ember came back with crackers and water.)

Mrs. Ember: Alright, everyone, snacks are served!

Sash Lilac: Oh, thank you! I am starving!

(Lilac took a cracker from the plate and popped it in her mouth.)

Sash Lilac: Hm. What kind of cracker is this?

Mrs. Ember: Wheat.

Sash Lilac: Oh. This tastes different.

Mrs. Ember: (whispering) Secret recipe.

(Lilac nodded.)

May: Lei, who are these girls?

Lei: These are our new friends: Lilac, Carol, and Milla.

Milla Basset: You're Lei's sister, right?

May: You got that right!

Milla Basset: So you've got any activities you like?

May: I like playing pretend with some of my toys, if you're interested in that.

Milla Basset: Oh, really? I like to imagine stuff too! In fact, before I met Lilac and Carol, I was friends with a tree stump named "Mr. Stumpy."

May: Really? That's adorable!

Milla Basset: I know! Hey, why don't I come up with you so that we could play pretend?

May: You do?

Milla Basset: Yeah!

May: Yay! New playmate!

(Milla and May ran upstairs.)

Sash Lilac: Well, it looks like Milla made a new friend already.

Mr. Ember: Whoa, whoa, guys, be quiet!

News Reporter: ''Tonight, more protests take place as Avalicians march in anger throughout all kingdoms in Avalice. They seem to be related to the upcoming attack by Lord Kuro. My god, will everyone keep bothering us about this? Anyway, live at one of the protests is my correspondent Lupa. Lupa?''

Lupa: ''Thank you, Steele. It's like a total snowstorm out here! Every single citizen is marching in anger about this stupid Lord Kuro coming to attack us. I'm surprised it hadn't died out.''

Mr. Ember: My goodness, where did this "Lord Kuro" myth even come from?

Carol Tea: If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Ember, I believe it came from a picture by one of the observatories in Shuigang, where they noticed a spaceship-like object in the cosmos. And when they posted the statement about it out there, everyone went ballistic and dubbed it "Lord Kuro." Now this just happened.

Mrs. Ember: Jeez. To think that all of this came from one picture is hard to believe.

Carol Tea: Believe me, I know.

Lei: Umm, hate to interrupt, you guys, but I can see some fire in the distance. You don't think...?

Mr. Ember: We must be too close to the protests. Come on, help me lock the doors.

Sash Lilac: Wait, but what about us?

Mrs. Ember: It's too dangerous to go out there on your own.

(Mr. and Mrs. Ember shut the window blinds and secured the door entrance.)

Sash Lilac: But we have something important to do tomorrow.

Mr. Ember: Like what?

Sash Lilac: Uhhh...

(Lilac looked around to find something as an excuse. Then, she saw some files on a table.)

Sash Lilac: We have to file some papers at the office tomorrow!

Carol Tea: Yeah! Nothing involving the crisis going on!

(Mr. Ember looked at Lilac and Carol skeptically.)

Mr. Ember: Okay.

Sash Lilac: Just let me get Milla first.

(Lilac went upstairs. Milla and May were playing pretend with plastic swords, wielding them like real swords. This scene took place in a medieval-esque setting.)

Milla Basset: You stand no match for me, peasant.

May: You killed my father. Vengance will be mine.

(The screen zoomed in to both faces, before turning back to the widescreen ratio. Milla and May charged at each other, jumping in the air and yelled their battle cries in slow-motion before Lilac interrupted by opening the door, frozen in mid-air.)

Sash Lilac: Psst! Milla!

(Milla and May fell to the ground.)

Milla Basset: Oh, hey, Lilac!

Sash Lilac: Yeah, it's about time we're going.

May: Wait, what?

Milla Basset: About that, May, we were here so that we'd get to know your sister and your parents.

May: But what about our game?

Milla Basset: Don't worry! The next time we come back here, we'll continue where we left off. But for now, let's just say we're in... commercial break.

May: Right! Commercial break!

(May saluted. Milla laughed.)

Milla Basset: That's right.

(Fade transition to the exterior of the Ember's house.)

Sash Lilac: Thank you for letting us stay for the hour! It was a pleasure knowing you!

Mrs. Ember: Anytime. You want to stop by for a cup of tea, just let us know!

Mr. Ember: Be careful out there. You'll never know what happens in the dark, evil lurking about.

Carol Tea: We're not that young, you know.

Mr. Ember: Still.

(Milla walked over to May.)

Milla Basset: Hey. Be good 'til I get back, okay?

May: Will do!

Lei: (whispering to Lilac) So what time are we meeting?

Sash Lilac: (whispering) 7 A.M. at the latest. But come in early just in case.

Lei: (whispering) Okay. I'll tell that to Ai.

Mr. Ember: Alright, now that we've said our farewells, you're gonna go or what?

Sash Lilac: (chuckling) We will.

Carol Tea: Goodbye! Thanks again for having us!

Milla Basset: See you soon!

Mr. Ember: Take care, kiddos!

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla were gone.)

Mrs. Ember: Something's up with them, don't you think, honey?

Mr. Ember: Nah, probably some work they have to do.

Part 6: "All to Ourselves"
(Back up in space, Lord Kuro approached a digital globe from a blue light. Yoru and two other assistants, Hoshi and Eirian, were with him.)

Lord Kuro: Okay, my minions. How would we eliminate all life on Avalice?

Yoru: We could either use a laser beam that burns up the plants there, or just come down, and use them as our slaves.

Lord Kuro: Good idea, but we could do something better.

Hoshi: What about destroying its ozone layer?

Lord Kuro: Closer.

Eirian: Blowing up its star?

(The room remains silent.)

Eirian: What?

Lord Kuro: You are a goddamn genius, Eirian. I hope you know that.

Hoshi: But boss, isn't this a bit too much?

Yoru: Yeah, we could just make peace with them and live in harmony.

Eirian: Like in the books! It's not hard.

Lord Kuro: But you three, you know we could have the planet to ourselves.

Eirian: Tell me, why do we need another planet when we already have one that's like, not too far away. This is just stupid!

Lord Kuro: Think of it as this.

(Lord Kuro snaps his fingers, which enacts a musical number titled "All to Ourselves".)

Yoru: Oh no, is this a musical number?

Eirian: Shut up, Yoru. He's gonna hear you.

(As the instruments build up, the scene transitions to a 2D-animated format.)

Lord Kuro:

Let's start off with a short excerpt

You can't get out there without a gut

But once you do, so make it true

You'll put the planet on a rut

The Avalice is your predator

Out on a hunt, on a killing spree

Your poor, little soul is the heart of its tongue

So rebel back, and you will be free!

(A paper containing these lyrics drop in front of Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian.)

Lord Kuro:

Our birds of prey have been swept away

Their predators have decided their fates

We don't want to suffer their conjurings

And our hearts have been filled with hate

Sometimes, the house is all packed with guests

And we will keep out the pests of our shelves

With some training, a grip and a grief

The planet will be all to ourselves

Yoru:

My mother was an expert in biology

Until a lion feasted on her heart and brain

Her agonizing cries flamed my youth for love

Until I see her, make it rain

Hoshi & Eirian:

Aliens of another world are full of trash

They're rumored to use their weapons for a thrash

But I, Hoshi, won't take their so-called "guns"

So let it begin, it will be fun!

Yoru, Hishi & Eirian:

Our birds of prey have been swept away

Their predators have decided their fates

We don't want to suffer their conjurings

And our hearts have been filled with hate

Sometimes, the house is all packed with guests

And we will keep out the pests of our shelves

With some training, a grip and a grief

The planet will be all to ourselves

Lord Kuro (spoken): Excellent, my pretties!

Eirian:

But what's that?

An Avalician with a passion?

Yoru:

Or worse, a soldier

Who feeds on our guts!

Hoshi:

Either way

We can stop their day

And cause havoc in a lifetime

Which is all they'll say!

All:

Our birds of prey have been swept away

Their predators have decided their fates

We don't want to suffer their conjurings

And our hearts have been filled with hate

Sometimes, the house is all packed with guests

And we will keep out the pests of our shelves

With some training, a grip and a grief

The planet will be all to ourselves

Our birds of prey have been swept away

Their predators have decided their fates

We don't want to suffer their conjurings

And our hearts have been filled with hate

Sometimes, the house is all packed with guests

And we will keep out the pests of our shelves

With some training, a grip and a grief

The planet will be all to ourselves

(The song ends. Lord Kuro claps at Yoru, Hoshi and Eirian.)

Lord Kuro: Bravo, my henchmen! Bravo!

(Yoru, Hoshi and Eirian sneered.)

Yoru: You know, boss, maybe we were wrong before.

Eirian: Yep. I think we do want to kill Avalice once and for all. It's vengeance for our loved ones!

Hoshi: And count me in that too!

(Lord Kuro chuckled evilly.)

Lord Kuro: Perfect.

Yoru: So now what do we do?

Lord Kuro: You prepare. Guards!

(Alien guards saluted to Kuro.)

Lord Kuro: Get yourselves ready. Our reign of terror begins.

(The aliens left the bridge, and several of them entered smaller ships, which took off from the main ship.)

Eirian: Wait, we're starting now?

Lord Kuro: You bet we are.

(Lord Kuro turned his back, overlooking Avalice from the distance.)

Lord Kuro: Get your gear ready, boys. 'Cause once our reign of terror is now, the planet of Avalice will drop to its knees, and bow to us as our masters.

(Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian walked up behind Lord Kuro, smiling evilly as the screen faded to black, with their eyes only being visible before it fully faded.)

Part 7: The Race to Shang Tu
(A subtitle saying: "The Next Morning" appeared before cutting to a shot of Lilac's treehouse, with the song "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" playing. Inside the treehouse, we cut to Lilac's bedroom, where an alarm clock rings before Lilac turns it off.)

Sash Lilac: Ahh... today's the day.

(Lilac got out of the bed, with Carol and Milla still asleep. Lilac chuckled.)

Sash Lilac: Wake up, my friends! It's time for our meeting with Neera and the others!

(Carol and Milla jumped.)

Carol Tea: Give us a few more minutes...

Milla Basset: Yeah... please, Lilac... it's been a long day yesterday.

Sash Lilac: Yeah, I'm not buyin' it. Come on.

(Lilac left the room as Carol and Milla got up tiredly. They both yawned.)

Sash Lilac: Ah, those two. When will they learn?

(The telephone in Lilac's living room rang. Lilac picked up the phone.)

Sash Lilac: Yello?

Neera Li: Ah, you're up.

Sash Lilac: Well, technically just me. Carol and Milla are still tired.

Neera Li: ''Well, tell 'em to snap out of it. The mission's almost up.''

Sash Lilac: I will.

(Carol and Milla walked out of Lilac's room. They were already energized.)

Sash Lilac: Well, well, what happened to being hungover and stuff?

Milla Basset: The mission?

Carol Tea: Yeah. We know saving the world means you have to not be tired.

(Lilac laughed.)

Sash Lilac: You're right right there.

Milla Basset: Well, we're ready?

Sash Lilac: If you're ready, I'm ready.

(Carol looked in the drawers.)

Carol Tea: Okay... okay... Yep! I'm all set!

Sash Lilac: Great! Last one there buys a round of soda after?

Carol Tea: Oh, you're on!

Sash Lilac: That's what I'd been hoping to hear.

(Fade transition to the exterior of Lilac's treehouse.)

Sash Lilac: Alright. Here's the path we'll take.

(Cut to a tutorial-esque diagram.)

Sash Lilac: The region is filled with lots of mountains, but we'll go through the south side of the mountain. Once we do so, we'll follow the Phoenix Highway toward Shang Tu. And then, once we see the watch tower, that's the finish line. First to get there wins.

(Back to reality.)

Sash Lilac: Got it?

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: Got it!

Sash Lilac: Good.

(Lilac and Milla walked over to the starting point, being the rock, while Carol used her motorcycle.)

Sash Lilac: On your marks...

(Carol revved her motorcycle.)

Sash Lilac: Get set...

(Milla flapped her ears.)

Sash Lilac: GO!

(Carol raced off with her motorcycle, Milla used her "Puppy Float", and Lilac sped off her "Super Speed." The race was on! Lilac and Carol raced through the forest.)

Carol Tea: Dang, you're pretty fast without a motorcycle!

Sash Lilac: Well, what can you expect? I'm a dragon.

(Milla flew through the air with her ears, looking down from below.)

Milla Basset: How's it going down there?

Sash Lilac: Well, I'm glad you asked, puppy!

(Lilac boosted her speed and shot off like a rocket.)

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: Oh, it's on!

(They both raced off quickly. Shang Tu was visible in the distance. Meanwhile, Neera and the others were at the front door.)

Lei: They did say we should meet at this time, right?

Neera Li: I did tell them that.

Ai: What's taking them so long?

Spade: Don't ask me. I haven't called them.

Neera Li: Well, we'll just go inside now- Hm?

(They spotted Lilac, Carol, and Milla approaching the perimeter.)

Ai: Oh, it's them!

Lei: And they're coming in fast!

(In slow-motion, Lilac, Carol, and Milla leaped onto the asphalt. They screeched to a halt just by Neera.)

Sash Lilac: Ha! I got here first!

Carol Tea: No, I did!

Milla Basset: You're all mistaken! It was definitely me!

Neera Li: Guys, what in the hell are you playing at now?

Sash Lilac: We had a race to see who'd get here first.

Neera Li: This isn't a race, you guys. Plus, it isn't all about competition.

Carol Tea: We know. We were just playing.

Neera Li: Well, cut it out. This is some serious business we're dealing with here.

(Lei's stomach rumbles.)

Lei: Oh dear... I'm not feeling well.

Ai: Oh crap. Lei, just shake it off! It'll all be over soon!

(Lei winced in pain.)

Lei: I'm sorry, Ai. I can't take it anymore.

(Lei left the group in a hurry.)

Milla Basset: She'll be okay, right, Ai?

Ai: I hope so.

Neera Li: Well, I've managed to get in touch with the Royal Magister and General Gong about this, and they'll be in charge of overlooking Shang Tu 'til we get back.

(Out of the door came the Royal Magister, a dragon, and General Gong, a panda.)

Royal Magister: Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, and Milla Basset.

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla bowed.)

Royal Magister: The fate of our home planet Avalice depends on you. Your skills will be tested to the extreme. You three, along with four other crew members, will be boarding a rented rocket ship and launching into space to fly into Lord Kuro's spaceship and defeat him forever. But remember this. One fatal mistake, and this world, everyone you know and love, will disappear off the face of time and space... permanently.

Sash Lilac: Roger that.

General Gong: Prince Dail of Shuigang and Mayor Zao of Shang Mu have also been called to Shang Tu to attend a board meeting discussing the possible outcomes of the mission, shall it not succeed. We, the generals of our armies, wish you luck.

Milla Basset: Okay.

(Just then, two helicopters flew from above them, landing near the tower. Out stepped Mayor Zao, Prince Dail, and their assistants.)

Mayor Zao: Well, hello, hello. Looks like I'm late to the party, eh?

Prince Dail: Spade, just what the heck do you think you are doing?

Spade: Chill, big bro. I know what I'm doing here.

Prince Dail: You do realize you're working with an arch-enemy of yours, right? This could totally go wrong!

Spade: Relax. I did tell Lilac we could have some kind of bonding, at the very least.

Prince Dail: Then be my guest.

Spade: Says the panda who tried to kill someone under Lord Brevon's command.

Prince Dail: It wasn't my fault, okay? It was his! I was brainwashed!

(Dail folded his arms and looked away from Spade.)

Mayor Zao: I believe we were supposed to come here to Tu for a meeting, I suppose?

Royal Magister: Correct. Come this way, Mayor Zao and Prince Dail.

(Dail forms a V-sign with his fingers at Spade.)

Sash Lilac: Hey, Spad-

Spade: Shut up.

Sash Lilac: Okay.

General Gong: As for you guys, you will be transported to the launch pad shortly.

Carol Tea: Launch pad?

General Gong: Yes. Your shuttle shall arrive here... now.

Sash Lilac: Alright. Fair enough.

General Gong: Any questions?

(No one raised their hand.)

General Gong: Alright. Good luck to all of you.

(Gong entered the building, just as the bus arrived.)

Ai: Perfect timing!

(Lei gulped.)

Spade: Time to prove my brother wrong.

Neera Li: At least I can watch over those two if they cause any trouble.

Milla Basset: Now I'm definitely going to be a Super Dog!

(Lilac looked at Carol.)

Carol Tea: Friends stick together, don't they?

Sash Lilac: Yeah. They do.

(They both walked onto the bus as it left the building.)

Part 8: Board Meeting
(Inside the tower, the leaders of Avalice enter a room with a table. They all take their seats.)

Mayor Zao: Uh, can someone raise my chair a bit higher? I'm too small.

(A duck soldier pulled on the pedal that rose Zao's chair by just a feet.)

+5 HEIGHT

Mayor Zao: You better make this quick. I have some important meetings to attend after this.

Prince Dail: For once, I agree with him. Just cut to the chase now.

Royal Magister: Affirmative.

(The Royal Magister throws two folders next to Dail and Zao. Then he takes a seat.)

Prince Dail: What did you just give us?

Royal Magister: Open the files.

(Dail and Zao opened the folder, which contained the picture of Lord Kuro's spaceship and contingency plans.)

Royal Magister: I'm pretty sure both of you are aware of the rumors of Lord Kuro coming to destroy us, is that right?

Mayor Zao: Yes.

Prince Dail: That's right.

Royal Magister: Good. Have you done anything about it?

Prince Dail: We did try to tell our citizens to remain calm about it, and that it'll all be taken care of.

Mayor Zao: Same here.

Royal Magister: Alright.

(The Magister flips a board, which faced the white board. He pointed a stick on it.)

Royal Magister: This here is a demonstration of what will happen shall the heroes fail to defeat Lord Kuro.

(Cut to a 2D-animated format sequence.)

Royal Magister: Once Lord Kuro's ship lands on Avalice, his army will deploy, wreaking havoc everywhere as we know it. If we have any time, we could evacuate as many of our citizens as we can get into the underground shelters established just in the heart of the Valley Region. A bunker just for us were also built.

Prince Dail: Wait, why one just for us?

Mayor Zao: Yeah, why?

Royal Magister: That way, we could know each other more while the world is ending.

General Gong: Okay, you don't have to say "world ending." It's not going to end.

Royal Magister: I'm saying that in the worst-case scenario it does.

General Gong: Alright. I'm just saying.

Royal Magister: Back to what I was saying...

(Fade back to the 2D sequence.)

Royal Magister: Once we get everyone to the bunkers, our armies will form a pact to eradicate Kuro's army. As long as there are no disputes against each other, if they successfully defeat his army, everything will go back to normal, and the war will be a thing of the past.

(Cut back to reality.)

Royal Magister: Any questions?

General Gong: If the armies don't defeat Kuro's army..?

Royal Magister: Then we'll have to resort to living underground.

Prince Dail: But if they somehow find us...

Mayor Zao: And are outnumbered than us?

Royal Magister: Then we are doomed. We can't evacuate the planet because it'll take long 'til we find another.

Mayor Zao: We can just use cryogenic chambers.

Royal Magister: Too complicated. Plus, everyone's going to pile in.

General Gong: So our last resort is living underground?

Royal Magister: If the army doesn't blow up the planet's surface, we might rebuilt Avalice by then.

Prince Dail: Pardon my interruption, but what is that over there?

(The Royal Magister turns around to see a ship headed towards them.)

Royal Magister: Oh, it's one of Lord Kuro's ships coming straight at us. Wait a second! It's one of Lord Kuro's ships coming straight at us! Everybody get down!

(Prince Dail, Mayor Zao, General Gong, and the Royal Magister take cover under the table as the ship crashes through the window, splattering concrete and glass everywhere.)

Royal Magister: Is everyone okay?

Mayor Zao: I am.

Prince Dail: Me too.

General Gong: Me three.

(The four leave the table and walked back from the ship. The soldiers walk slowly to the ship with their spears aimed.)

Royal Magister: Careful, you three. We don't know what vile thing is beneath that outer wall.

(The soldiers opened the hatch of the ship. Out of the smoke came a dark-green alien screeching at them and one of them stabbed their spear on its head, which oozed a green liquid. It then collapsed into the smoke, invisible.)

General Gong: Your Excellency, what in the world was that?

(The Royal Magister said nothing.)

Prince Dail: What's going on?

Mayor Zao: Yeah. What do we do now?

Royal Magister: Get as much Avalicians as you can inside the bunkers. It's a lot sooner than we expected.

(Cut to black.)

Part 9: Launch Day
(The bus taking our heroes passes under a tunnel.)

Carol Tea: Hey, Lilac?

Sash Lilac: Yeah?

Carol Tea: Have you ever asked yourself if this battle is really worth it out there in space?

Sash Lilac: What do you mean by that?

Carol Tea: Think about it. When we fought Lord Brevon, we were around the lower orbit of Avalice. That caused the parts of his ship to plummet down to the surface. But Kuro's ship is a long way up from there, so everything will just float helplessly into the dark depths of space, with no possible way of coming back to Avalice.

Sash Lilac: Actually, now that you say it, it does kinda make sense why Lei would be afraid of outer space. It's just an endless void where no matter which direction you take, you keep going that way forever unless you find a way to thrust yourself.

Carol Tea: I'll just go ask her. That fear has gotten up into my mind.

(Carol got up from her seat and walked over to Lei and Ai.)

Carol Tea: Hey, girls.

Lei & Ai: Hello, Carol.

Carol Tea: Lei, I just have one question for you.

Lei: What's up?

Carol Tea: What made you so afraid of space?

Lei: Oh, that...

(Lei sighed.)

Lei: ...it's kind of a boring story if you ask me.

Ai: Apparently, we watched this movie not too long ago about some astronauts being stranded in space. It is very scary if you ask me, but in the end, I managed to get through it. But for Lei? Not so much.

Lei: Yep. Exactly what she said.

(Lei shivered in fear.)

Carol Tea: I understand you'd be scared from movies like that, but come on! Chances like that are near to zero!

Ai: Don't jinx it, please.

Carol Tea: I won't.

(Then, Carol went to Milla.)

Milla Basset: Oh, hey, Carol!

Carol Tea: Hey, Milla. So whatcha thinking about?

Milla Basset: Oh, nothing. Except May.

Carol Tea: That girl has gotten into your mind, huh?

Milla Basset: You could say that again. When we played imagination, it reminded me of how much I used to be friends with Mr. Stumpy. He made me cope with my loneliness ever since my parents and I got separated.

Carol Tea: May, huh? She's given you a blast of the past, hasn't she?

(Milla giggled.)

Milla Basset: You know, since we are going on that rocket ship, we're gonna blast through the clouds. And with that, this could be my one chance of seeing my mom and dad there. If only they knew what I was up to right now...

Carol Tea: I bet they'd be proud.

(Milla leaned to the window.)

Carol Tea: Well, I'm headed back to my seat. Nice talking to you, Milla, Lei and Ai.

(Carol got up and went back to Lilac.)

Sash Lilac: So how was it?

Carol Tea: Lei is scared of space because she and Ai saw a movie about some astronauts being stranded in space. And for Milla, May reminded her of when she was friends of Mr. Stumpy.

Sash Lilac: Oh, really? That's nice.

Carol Tea: Yep. That girl's gotten into her head.

Bus Driver: Okay, passengers. If you look to your left, you'll see our destination is coming up shortly.

(Everyone in the bus looked out the window. There was a rocket in a launch pad, with vehicles roaming around. There was also a crowd gathering.)

Carol Tea: We get to ride in that? Ohmygush, yes.

(The bus entered through the gate.)

Lei: Okay. Get yourself together, Lei. It's all be over soon.

(Lei curved into a fetal position.)

Ai: What are you doing?

Lei: Getting myself together. You don't understand what we're about to enter, do you?

Ai: Come on, Lei. How bad can it be?

Lei: A million times bad, okay?

(Ai sighed.)

Milla Basset: Mom, dad, I hope I've made you proud.

(The bus came to a stop near a red carpet.)

Lupa: We're live at the Avalice Astronomical Association launch center, where seven heroes are about to launch themselves into space to kick Lord Kuro's butt off the face of the Avalice. This is a big one, folks, because Kuro might be destroyed once and for all!

(Cut to the Embers' house.)

May: Wait a second. Is that who I think it is? Mom, dad, Lei's on TV!

Mr. and Mrs. Ember: What?

(Mr. and Mrs. Ember ran to the TV to see Lei among the group.)

Mrs. Ember: Is that Lei?

Mr. Ember: Why didn't she tell us she was going to save the world?

May: Beats me!

Mr. Ember: Oh, she's definitely getting grounded when she gets home.

Mrs. Ember: For saving our lives?

Mr. Ember: Yep. I do not want her to do that again.

(The song "Eye of the Tiger" plays. We cut back to the launch pad, where Lilac, Carol, Milla, Neera, Spade, Lei, and Ai walk the red carpet in an action-style motion. Everyone cheers for them.)

Carol Tea: This is definitely going to be awesome!

Sash Lilac: Keep it to yourself, Carol.

Spade: Oh, wow. Everyone is here.

Neera Li: If only I had something to give them to honor their trust.

Bystander #1: Good luck out there! Even if you did do such vile things in the past, we'll let them go this time!

Bystander #2: Come on! Give me a fist bump!

(Lilac gave Bystander #2 a fist bump.)

Bystander #2: Did you see that? She gave me a fist bump! It hurts a little, but it was definitely worth it...

(Bystander #2 faints. The seven reach an elevator.)

Milla Basset: Don't panic, everyone! I'm 100% positive we could do this! All you have to do is just believe!

Ai: Not now, Milla.

Milla Basset: Take my advice, everyone! Just stay optimistic and-

(The elevator door closes.)

Milla Basset: Darn it.

(The elevator goes up to the door of the rocket.)

Neera Li: Well, everyone, I hope you're ready. Especially you two, Lilac and Carol.

Sash Lilac: Yes, we know.

Carol Tea: You don't have to tell us twice.

Neera Li: I'm just saying. This doesn't excuse you from your troubled past with the Red Scarves.

Lei: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on just a moment there.

(Lei turned to Lilac and Carol.)

Lei: You two were part of the Red Scarves?

Spade: I'm also part of it. Still am.

Lei: I didn't ask you.

Sash Lilac: Yes, Lei.

Ai: What the heck is wrong with you?

Carol Tea: Look, we changed, alright? That doesn't matter now.

Lei: Okay. But still, the Red Scarves are considered to be the most dangerous organization in all of Avalice!

(Milla popped up under Lei and the others.)

Milla Basset: Guys, let's just forget this whole conversation and focus on the mission here!

Spade: She's right. Saving Avalice is all that matters now.

(The elevator finally reaches the top near the door of the rocket.)

Lei: Ah, crap. Still not ready for this.

(The seven walk through the bridge and into the rocket. Then they all take their seats.)

Carol Tea: Can't wait to tell my sister about this. She's gonna lose her mind. Heh heh.

(Ai noticed Lei applying more seatbelts on herself.)

Spade: Lei, are you serious right now? You brought more seatbelts with you?

Lei: Yes. In fact, believe it or not, we are going to actual outer space. Y'all are acting like this is a road trip or something.

Sash Lilac: Lei, come on, man. We'll be fine if we stick together.

Lei: But it's true! You know what? I just wanna abort this mission and go home with my family. At least they know what to do in a big situation.

Ai: Lei, cut it out. You're not a child anymore.

''Intercom: Commencing countdown. Engines: on.''

(Engines of the ship fire up.)

Sash Lilac: Well, say goodbye to Avalice. For now.

Milla Basset: I'm coming, mom and dad!

Announcer: T-Minus: 30 seconds.

(Outside of the rocket, everyone cheers for them.)

Lupa: This is it, folks! The rocket is launching, and we are set for a day the world will never forget!

Announcer: T-Minus: 15 seconds.

(Engines have reached maximum power, as everyone in the rocket brace for launch.)

Announcer: ''T-Minus: 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Booster ignition and liftoff.''

(The rocket releases from the launch pad and flies up.)

Announcer: And we have liftoff of Freedom shuttle on Operation: Save Avalice mission.

(The crowd cheers in excitement as the shuttle rises into the sky. A melody similar to "Space Oddity" plays.)

Lupa: There they go! Up, up and away to the stars! May God's love be with them always.

(The takeoff vibrates the whole interior of the rocket. The seven tried to hold on to their seats for as long as they can.)

Ai: This is it, Lei!

Lei: I know that, Ai!

(The rocket pasts just through the stratosphere and into the mesosphere.)

Milla Basset: Oh my... Here it comes...!

(The rocket pasts through the Kármán line and stars could be faintly visible.)

Carol Tea: Is that space?

Sash Lilac: Yes, Carol! We're almost there!

(After a couple of shakes and outside burning, a black background with white dots reflected from their eyes. Lilac's pigtails and Milla's ears began rising.)

Carol Tea: No way...

(Lilac began to laugh.)

Sash Lilac: We're in outer space! Ha ha!

(Meanwhile, Lei looked down to the surface of Avalice.)

Lei: Oh dear...

Ai: Lei, just let it go.

Lei: I can't, Ai. It's too... scary.

Ai: Hey, I know the fate of the world resting on your shoulders gives you the shudders, but we're in this together, right, Lilac?

Sash Lilac: Absolutely!

(The rocket passes through the screen, transitioning back to Avalice, where the Royal Magister, Zao, and Dail were in Shang Mu.)

Prince Dail: Tell me again, why are we here?

Mayor Zao: We need to get some supplies.

Prince Dail: And this is just for us?

Mayor Zao: The civilians' shelters have been pre-made, right?

Royal Magister: Indeed, Mayor Zao.

Mayor Zao: So yep, Prince Dail.

(Dail sighed.)

Prince Dail: Sometimes, I wish I was still brainwashed so that I could try to attack you.

Mayor Zao: What was that?

Prince Dail: Nothing.

Mayor Zao: Hmm...

+5 SKEPTICISM

(The three arrived at Zao's Shopping Paradise.)

Prince Dail: Hold on a second here! You have an entire shopping mall dedicated in your honor?

Mayor Zao: Indeed. Eat your heart out, Dail.

Prince Dail: Why, you little son of a-!

Royal Magister: Boys, this is no time for pointing fingers.

Prince Dail: But he started it!

Royal Magister: Ah, ah, ah, ah. Remember, we don't want to point the blame to anyone else again...

(He slowly moved his head to Dail.)

Royal Magister: ...unlike last time.

Mayor Zao: He's right, you know.

(The vein-popping symbol appears on Dail's head.)

+5 PRIDE

Mayor Zao: Well, let's get to it.

(The song "Let's Rock" plays as the Magister, Zao, and Dail enter the mall. They all had a shocked expression on their faces.)

Mayor Zao: What in the...?

(Everyone in the mall was celebrating like animals in a party. They stood on the handrails, danced on the floor, and threw confetti everywhere.)

Prince Dail: Holy crud, look at this place! It's freaking crazy!

Mayor Zao: No, no, no, no. This isn't how this place normally is, you guys.

(Zao spotted Mitt.)

Mayor Zao: Hey, Mitt!

Mitt: Oh, Mayor Zao! Can you believe this? It's going bonkers around here! Whoo!

Mayor Zao: Yeah, about that...

(He cleared his throat.)

Mayor Zao: WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?!

(Everyone stopped what they were doing, startled by Zao's angry expression, including Lóng and Shiro, who were also there too.)

Prince Dail: You too, Shiro?

Royal Magister: Lóng. I expected better from you.

Mitt: Well, it's not what it looks like, you three. You see, I managed to get in contact with these guys here to celebrate the launch of the seven brave heroes who went into space to stop Lord Kuro. You know, something we were all hoping it'd happened. And now it did!

Shiro: Yeah!

(Shiro puts a roll of sushi in his mouth.)

Shiro: Oh man! You gotta try this sushi, Prince Dail. It's off the charts!

Lóng: And this carbonated water!

(Lóng and Shiro fist-bumped.)

Royal Magister: Okay, maybe we are a bit excited that our heroes are up in space to save our planet, but that doesn't excuse you for this mess you made here.

Mitt: Yeah, we know.

Mayor Zao: So you're gonna clean this up or what?

Mitt, Shiro & Lóng: Uhh...

(Swoosh to two crowds.)

Mitt, Shiro & Lóng: Listen up, everyone! Our leaders need this place cleaned up in five minutes!

All: Yes, sirs!

(Everyone rushed out, picking up things and putting them away.)

Mayor Zao: See that? That's what happens when you know what you're doing.

+5 GLORY

Mayor Zao: And for you two being my guests of honor- Hold on, let me see if I have them...

(Zao rummaged through his pockets. Then he took out two coupons.)

Mayor Zao: Here! You two will get a 5% discount off selected brands in Zao's Shopping Paradise!

5% OFF!

Royal Magister: Thank you for the offer, Mayor Zao, but we are in a tight schedule. And this is not the time for offering selections.

Mayor Zao: Right!

(He put the coupons away.)

Mayor Zao: Let's get on with the hunt, shall we?

(A panda walked across the screen, which shifted to the next part.)

Part 10: Operation: Infiltration is a Go!
(The rocket approached Lord Kuro's spaceship in a fast pace.)

Neera Li: Okay. That's the ship. Spade and I will stay here to watch out for any robots roaming about. The rest of you, you're getting on the ship. But remember, it's not easy. You got it?

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, Milla Basset: Roger that, Lady Neera!

Lei & Ai: Roger that, Miss Neera!

(Neera looked at Lei and Ai.)

Neera Li: I prefer being called Lady Neera for the time-being.

Lei & Ai: Okay then, Lady Neera!

Neera Li: Thank you.

Carol Tea: I call her "Scary Lady".

Neera Li: I heard that.

Carol Tea: Sorry!

Spade: Remember girls, this is an extremely dangerous mission. Do whatever you can do to stay out of sight.

Milla Basset: Alright. Time to get out of here!

(Since space is a zero-gravity environment [it's technically not the latter, it's just freefall], when Lilac, Carol, and Milla unbuckle their seatbelts, they begin floating.)

Milla Basset: Oh yeah! I forgot about this! Space equals no gravity, and no gravity equals floating!

Carol Tea: Now this is how I feel "spaced out!"

Lei: Zero gravity's overrated. I prefer sticking to the ground.

Carol Tea: You must be fun at parties.

(Lei glared at Carol with an angry expression. Carol shrugged.)

Sash Lilac: Alright. Is everyone ready?

Ai: Just give us a moment here.

(Ai struggles to take off Lei's seatbelts.)

Ai: Jeez, Lei. How many seatbelts did you put on?

Lei: Only five.

Ai: Well, this is more than five to me.

(Ai shook her head. And with just enough strength, the seatbelts come off.)

Lei: Thank you, Ai.

Ai: Whatever.

(A cabinet revealing thin-layered spacesuits opens.)

Carol Tea: Sweet.

Lei: Are you kidding me? These are what we're gonna wear?

Neera Li: They're the best we've got in store so far. Hopefully, the next time we do missions like these, they're more thicker.

(Montage of Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai putting on their spacesuits.)

Sash Lilac: Okay, everyone. It's about time the show goes on!

(The airlock of the spaceship opens, where air escapes into the vacuum of space, revealing the five.)

Lei: Uhh, I don't know about this.

Ai: Hey, Lei. How about this: you could hold my hand?

(Ai put her hand out to Lei. Lei grabbed ahold of it.)

Sash Lilac: Alright, team. Move out! Go go go!

(Lilac, Carol and Milla dove out of the ship first, floating in the dark void of space. Lei and Ai followed suit.)

Milla Basset: So this is space? Awesome.

(Lilac activated her microphone, prompting a feedback to Neera and Spade.)

Sash Lilac: I could see the ship. Approaching the wall.

Neera Li: We can see it from here. Stay safe. Over and out.

(The feedback cuts off.)

Sash Lilac: Come on, guys. Let's go.

(Lei winced.)

Carol Tea: Hey! Lighten the mood, Lei. At least you're not blacklisted from the mission.

Lei: Ha ha, very funny, Carol.

(The garbage chute of Lord Kuro's ship opened.)

Sash Lilac: Now's our chance!

(Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai entered the chute just before it closed. They touched the ground and took off their suits.)

Lei: Well, that was terrifying.

(Lilac's communciaton system picks up.)

Neera Li: Are you in the ship now, Lilac?

Sash Lilac: Yep.

Spade: Good. Now the rest is up to you. Good luck. Over and out.

(The feedback cuts off.)

Sash Lilac: So now once again, fellas, the fate of the world is in our hands. One mistake here, and we're done for. Got it?

Carol Tea, Milla Basset, Lei & Ai: Got it!

Sash Lilac: Alright. Now stay low. This place is guarded with lots of Kuro's minions.

(The five heroines snuck their way into the main ship. Meanwhile, in the manufacturing room of the ship...)

Hoshi: Alright, lower it down there, Steve!

(Steve pulled the lever of a crane, which lowered a metal bar on a smaller pod.)

Hoshi: Good work, team. They're never gonna know what's coming.

Eirian: Hey, Hoshi.

Hoshi: Hm? Oh, what's up, Eirian?

Eirian: Yoru and I are having trouble with the circuit wiring, and you're the only one who could help us.

(Hoshi sighed.)

Hoshi: Okay, fine. Jared, you're in charge 'til I get back from Yoru and Eirian's dilemma.

Jared: Yes, sir!

Hoshi: Good.

(Hoshi and Eirian left the cargo hold. Jared climbed atop of a crate.)

Jared: Listen, everyone. Lord Kuro wants us to make sure that everything, especially those guns, cannons, and bombs, is all prepped and ready for the invasion of Avalice. Do you all hear me?

Aliens: Aye!

Jared: Then get to work! Chop chop! No distractions!

(Aliens began scrambling. From one of the walls, Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai popped their heads out.)

Ai: Jeez, this place is busy!

Carol Tea: Uh, duh. Of course it is. We are in a space lord's chamber.

Ai: Well, I'm just speaking the facts.

Sash Lilac: Cut it out, you two. You're gonna get us caught.

Lloyd: Hey!

(The five gasped.)

Lloyd: What are you doing here?

(Milla used her Alchemy power at Lloyd, who is knocked out by it.)

Milla Basset: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!

Sash Lilac: Well, that's one down. Two-hundred plus to go.

Lei: What are we gonna do with him?

Sash Lilac: Hmm...

(Then, Lilac spotted a janitor's closet. A light bulb abruptly appeared.)

Sash Lilac: Actually, we can just hide him in there.

Carol Tea: What? Are you serious?

Sash Lilac: C'mon, we have to try.

Milla Basset: But someone's going to find him in there!

Lei & Ai: Mhm.

Sash Lilac: Guys, you never take risks.

Carol Tea: Well, technically, I-

Sash Lilac: That's a different story.

(Lilac pulled Lloyd's body into the janitor's closet.)

Sash Lilac: There we go. That should do it.

(Lilac closed and blocked the door with a metal bar.)

Sash Lilac: No one's gonna know.

Carol Tea: They're gonna know.

Sash Lilac: No, they won't.

(Then, Lilac spotted some alien uniforms and a green spray can hanging from a closet.)

Sash Lilac: I think I have another idea.

Ai: What? That?

Sash Lilac: Yeah.

Lei: There's no way they're not gonna notice us, Lilac. Look at us! It's definitely obvious as to what we're doing.

Sash Lilac: Just try.

(Montage of the heroines putting on the uniforms and applying green spray paint on them.)

Lei: Oh my god, this uniform reeks!

(Lei stuck her tongue out.)

Carol Tea: You'll get used to it.

(As Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai walked to the manufacturing room, aliens looked at them.)

Jared: Who are you five?

Sash Lilac: We're stowaways from your home planet.

Jared: Bituin?

Sash Lilac: Yeah, that planet!

Jared: Weird. We didn't think there'd be more civilians that were chosen to find a new world.

Carol Tea: What?

Ai: Quiet.

(The aliens looked at them suspiciously.)

Milla Basset: Oh no...

Lei: I knew this was a bad idea!

(Then, after a few seconds of inspection, they stopped.)

Jared: Well, welcome aboard, you five! Let's get you start-

Lord Kuro: What is going on here?

(Aliens cleared the way to reveal Lord Kuro. Kuro approached Lilac with a glare. Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian, were behind him. Milla gasped.)

Milla Basset: It's him!

Jared: Sir! Let me explain-!

(Kuro shushed Jared.)

Lord Kuro: You five don't look like you're from here, are you?

Sash Lilac: No, we're not!

Lord Kuro: Then what is it with these strange-looking hair of yours?

(Kuro plucked a strand of hair from one of Lilac's pigtails. Lilac winced.)

Lord Kuro: Something from that dastardly Avalice planet, don't you think?

Carol Tea: Wh-wh-what makes you say that?

Lord Kuro: Take a look at this hair. This is something that could be found on a planet like Avalice. Soft, thin, even annoying at times.

(Neera called Lilac.)

Sash Lilac: Shoot! Not now, Neera!

Lord Kuro: Hm? Who is this "Neera"?

Sash Lilac: Nothing!

Lord Kuro: You keeping secrets from me, liar?

Sash Lilac: N-no! Absolutely not!

Lord Kuro: And how exactly can you prove that to me?

(Lilac began sweating.)

Sash Lilac: We hate Avalice! Darn that rocky planet!

Carol Tea: What are you doing?

(Lilac hit Carol with her shoulder.)

Carol Tea: Yeah! That blue planet deserves to be destroyed!

(Kuro took five seconds to examine that answer.)

Lord Kuro: I will say this...

(The five trembled in fear.)

Lord Kuro: ...you're lucky I'm nice and letting you stay aboard. For now. Guys!

(He turned to Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian.)

Lord Kuro: Keep an eye on those five. Make sure nothing suspicious comes out of them.

(Kuro left the area. The five sighed in relief and went to an empty room. Lilac called Neera and Spade.)

Neera Li: Why'd you decline my check-in signal?

Sash Lilac: Neera, Lord Kuro himself was literally checking us!

Carol Tea: Yeah! And to think he's like Lord Brevon!

Spade: You know, Sash, I never thought I'd say this, but good work out there.

Sash Lilac: Thanks, Spade.

Neera Li: ''Alright. Anything you'd like to let us know about, just give us a call. Over and out.''

(The call ends. Lilac sighed.)

Sash Lilac: My gosh, that was close.

Lei: He nearly caught us!

Sash Lilac: Okay. We've already lended our trust into those aliens. We mustn't let them down now.

Milla Basset: But what about the mission?

Sash Lilac: We'll deal with that later. For now, keep your heads low.

(Lilac opened the door. Meanwhile, Yoru looked at them.)

Yoru: Something's up about those five, don't you think?

Hoshi: Yeah.

Eirian: Wait a second!

(Zoom in to see a drip of green paint.)

Eirian: There is something up about them.

Yoru: You don't mean...?

Eirian: Yes.

Yoru: Hoshi, grab me a bucket of water. I think we've hit jackpot.

Hoshi: Alright, Yoru!

(Hoshi left as Yoru and Eirian approached Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai.)

Yoru: Hey... sorry about what happened earlier.

Eirian: Yeah. Kuro's just outta his mind!

Sash Lilac: Oh no, it's okay.

Carol Tea: Lilac!

Sash Lilac: Shush!

Eirian: Anyways, front girl, would you like to come with us?

Sash Lilac: Ehh, sure.

Carol Tea: Lilac!

(Yoru took Lilac.)

Eirian: As for the rest of you, would you like a glass of water to keep you hydrated?

Hoshi: Here's the bucket.

Eirian: Thanks.

(Eirian hid the bucket behind him.)

Carol Tea: Sure! After all, we are exhausted from all the launching in this rocket, don't you think, you guys?

Milla Basset, Lei & Ai: Yeah, totally!

Eirian: Alright then. Here's your DRINK OF WATER!

(Eirian threw the water at Carol, Milla, Lei & Ai. The water washed away the green spray paint from them, revealing their true identities.)

Eirian: Oops. My mistake!

(Everyone gasped. Cut to the bridge, where Kuro looked at Avalice. Yoru and Lilac arrived.)

Lord Kuro: Oh. Hello, Yoru. And the little girl.

Sash Lilac: Hello.

Yoru: Stay right there.

(Yoru whispered to Kuro.)

Lord Kuro: I see.

(Kuro approached Lilac.)

Lord Kuro: Would you like a glass of water, little girl?

Sash Lilac: Why are you asking me for a glass of water?

Lord Kuro: Nothing much. I just thought I'd like to be nice.

Sash Lilac: Okay. I'm down for it.

Lord Kuro: Good.

(Yoru handed a bucket of water behind Kuro.)

Lord Kuro: And let me offer you a sweet taste of my WATER!

(Kuro spilled the water over Lilac, which revealed her true identity.)

Lord Kuro: Oh, wow. What a shocking turn of events!

(Lilac gasped.)

Sash Lilac: But-

Lord Kuro: Save it for later.

(Kuro's radio system crackled.)

''Hoshi: Lord Kuro, come over here. It's important.''

Lord Kuro: Right. Yoru, take that girl with you.

Yoru: Roger that.

(Yoru grabbed onto Lilac's hands.)

Sash Lilac: L- let me go!

Yoru: Or what? You're gonna cry for your mommy?

(Yoru laughed. Fade back to the manufacturing area.)

Milla Basset: But- but- how'd you know we were disguising ourselves?

Eirian: Oh, it's not complicated, all right. See, we knew you five looked suspicious upon inspection by Kuro. So when he placed us in charge of looking after you, then that's when it hit us.

Hoshi: And now, this is where it all ends.

Lord Kuro: Out of the way!

Hoshi: Oop. He's here.

(Hoshi, Eirian, and many others cleared the way for Kuro, Yoru, and Lilac. Kuro smiled as Yoru threw Lilac with the others.)

Lord Kuro: I knew something was up with you five all along. But you just didn't want to share. How sad.

Sash Lilac: You will never take Avalice!

Carol Tea: Yeah! Its armies are stronger than all your minions combined!

Lei & Ai: Same here!

(Kuro chuckled.)

Lord Kuro: How cute. Aliens!

(Kuro snapped his fingers, just before the camera zoomed into his face.)

Lord Kuro: Exterminate them.

(Aliens approached the five eerily.)

Carol Tea: This is all your fault, Lilac!

Sash Lilac: Shut up! I'm thinking!

(Then, Lilac had an idea.)

Sash Lilac: I got it!

(Lilac stood up.)

Sash Lilac: Cyclone!

(Lilac spun around quickly as her hair hit the aliens, knocking them to the ground.)

Sash Lilac: RUN!

(Carol, Milla, Lei & Ai ran from the aliens, while Lilac held them off.)

Lei: What the heck was that?

Carol Tea: Beats me!

(Lilac was outnumbered by the aliens, so she ran off too. She called Neera.)

Sash Lilac: Come on...

Neera Li: What?

Sash Lilac: Yeah, Neera, we're in a bit of a pickle here.

Neera Li: What are you talking about?

Sash Lilac: I mean that- Whoa!

(Lilac dodges a box thrown from one of the aliens.)

Lord Kuro: Seize them!

Neera Li: Hold on a second, was that Lord Kuro?

Sash Lilac: Yeah, but-

Neera Li: ''WHAT?! Girl, you better have a good explanation for this!''

Spade: What's going on?

Neera Li: Lilac got herself and her other teammates caught by Kuro.

Spade: ''Wait, what? Are you serious?''

Sash Lilac: I'll explain later, Spade!

Spade: You better!

(The call is cut off. Meanwhile, the others put on their spacesuits.)

Ai: Hurry!

(Lilac slides through the door and puts on her spacesuit as well. The chute opens, exposing the vacuum of space inside. The five get sucked out.)

Sash Lilac: Hold on!

(Lilac grabs onto the wire, along with Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai. However, a piece of metal hits Lei.)

Lei: Ahh!

Ai: Lei!

Lei: Guys, a little help here!

Carol Tea: Oh no. Lei!

(Lilac continued pulling on the wire.)

Milla Basset: Lilac, Lei is floating off into space! Do something!

(Lilac didn't hear Milla.)

Milla Basset: Lilac! LILAC! Crap.

(Then, Milla spotted a hatch.)

Milla Basset: A-ha!

(Milla opened the hatch, revealing a hook. She grabbed it.)

Milla Basset: Don't worry, Lei! I'm coming to save you!

(Milla pushed off the ship and chased Lei. Meanwhile, Lei was breathing heavily.)

Lei: Keep calm, Lei. Just... keep calm. It'll all be over soon.

Milla Basset: Lei!

Lei: Huh?

(Lei saw Milla.)

Lei: Milla! Over here!

(Milla grabbed onto Lei's left leg.)

Lei: Thank you, Milla. Thank you.

Milla Basset: Anything for a friend.

Lei: Do I owe you something?

Milla Basset: Yeah! Come with us when we have a royal feast with Mayor Zao.

Lei: You think he'll accept me?

Milla Basset: I don't doubt it.

(Meanwhile, aliens entered their smaller ships. Inside the other, Neera and Spade saw them.)

Neera Li: Shoot. Hang on, Spade. We're coming in hot!

Spade: You don't have to tell me twice!

(Neera shifted the ship to the garbage chute. Lilac, Carol, Milla, Lei, and Ai entered as quickly as they could.)

Neera Li: Come on!

(They all took their seat belts. Neera set off quickly.)

Alien Pilot: Target locked.

(The scanner locks the target on the ship.)

Alien Pilot: Fire!

(The alienship launches a missile that hits one of the engines of the heroes' ship.)

Milla Basset: Ah! We've been hit!

Neera Li: Brace positions, everyone! Brace!

(The ship is hurdling towards another rocky planet. It crash-lands. Kuro watched as it hit the ground. He laughed.)

Eirian: Well, what next, boss?

Lord Kuro: We do this now.

(Lord Kuro made an announcement on everyone's radio.)

Lord Kuro: Everyone, you've outdone yourselves today. Now head back to base to start with the invasion! It's about time Avalice surrenders!

(He cackled as the screen faded to black.)

Part 11: Desperate Partings
(The ship was in ruins. However, Lilac, Carol, Milla, Neera, Spade, Lei, and Ai climbed out of it, harmed but not injured. Carol cracked her fist and looked at Lilac.)

Carol Tea: Lilac, I know you mean well... but WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?!

(Everyone took notice of Carol's outburst, including Lilac, who didn't look at Carol.)

Sash Lilac: I thought I knew what I was doing.

Carol Tea: Well, you didn't! And now, because of you, we're stranded here in another planet, with no possible way of returning to Avalice!

(Lilac turned to Carol.)

Sash Lilac: Carol, I did the best I could. And that was trying to get Kuro and his minions out of this system.

Carol Tea: But what did you do? You did the exact opposite! You nearly joined their side. Heck, Lei nearly drifted off into space, and what did you do? You did absolutely nothing! What in the world happened to "we all stick together?"

Sash Lilac: Look, the fate of Avalice is in our hands! This isn't anything like a movie where the protagonists sing a song and then "hooray and hurrah, the world is saved" or anything like that. This is real life! We're not just gonna back down and let the whole world die out! It's what heroes like us should do!

Carol Tea: Well, I don't wanna be a hero if this is how my friend would act.

(Lilac gasped.)

Sash Lilac: You take that back!

Carol Tea: No, I won't.

Sash Lilac: Yes, you will.

Carol Tea: No, I won't.

Sash Lilac: Yes, you will!

Carol Tea: No, I won't!

Sash Lilac: Yes, YOU WILL!

(Lilac shoved Carol to the ground. Milla, Neera, Lei, Ai, and even Spade gasped. It didn't take long to realize what Lilac had done.)

Sash Lilac: Carol...

(Carol ran away from Lilac without saying a word.)

Neera Li: Come on, guys. Let's go check on her.

(Neera led Milla, Spade, Lei, and Ai.)

Milla Basset: I can't believe you'd do this again, Lilac.

Spade: Maybe teaming up with you was the worst decision I've ever made.

Lei: I knew I shouldn't have come with you.

Ai: For once, I agree with her.

(And Milla, Neera, Spade, Lei, and Ai were out of sight as they walked through the tropical leaves of the planet, leaving Lilac all alone. She sat in a fetal position. The song "I'm Sorry" begins playing.)

Sash Lilac:

I knew what I said was wrong and so deep

If only I wish I could take it all back

Because I knew you were right

I didn't listen 'cause my trust was so very lack

Sometimes, you're the one

Who knows how to be kind

And now, look where we are

Our friendship's life is all confined

And I know what I will say

When I see your face of gray

The only words I'll speak

Are the words that are the peak

I'm sorry, my best friend

I'm sorry for what I did

But now you're far away

I could be all ignored and rid

(Oh-h-h)

Carol Tea:

I just don't get it

The memories we've made

Would they just go away

And just be long old lost and fade?

Sometimes, you're the one

Who knows how to be kind

And now, look where we are

Our friendship's life is all confined

Both:

And I know what I will say

When I see your face of gray

The only words I'll speak

Are the words that are the peak

I'm sorry, my best friend

I'm sorry for what I did

But now you're far away

I could be all ignored and rid

(Oh-h-h)

And I know what I will say

When I see your face of gray

The only words I'll speak

Are the words that are the peak

I'm sorry, my best friend

I'm sorry for what I did

But now you're far away

I could be all ignored and rid

(Oh-h-h)

(The song ends. Unbeknownst to Lilac, Hoshi was seen atop of a tree.)

Hoshi: Dang, how are you not dead?

(Hoshi takes out a walkie-talkie.)

Hoshi: (to walkie-talkie) This is Hoshi. The dragon girl is still alive.

Lord Kuro: ''What? Time for plan B, everyone.''

Hoshi: Roger that.

(Cut back to Lilac, who was crying.)

Sash Lilac: Oh, Carol... I'm so sorry.

(Then, she heard a cry, which startled her. She wiped a tear.)

Sash Lilac: Who was that?

(Lilac ran to the source of the cry. She spotted a civilian, not knowing it was Hoshi in disguise.)

Hoshi: Oh, kind lady! Help me!

Sash Lilac: What happened here?

Hoshi: Some snake bit me and now I'm too pained to move!

Sash Lilac: Hang in there, I'll help you.

(Hoshi sneered.)

Hoshi: (to walkie-talkie) Now!

Sash Lilac: What?

(Yoru, Eirian, and many other aliens came down from the trees. And out one of the other ships came Lord Kuro.)

Lord Kuro: Well, well, well. If it isn't who I think it is. What happened to your little "friends", eh?

Sash Lilac: They're not my friends anymore.

Lord Kuro: Really?

(Lilac curled into a ball and charged at Kuro, but Kuro swipes her before she could even attack.)

Sash Lilac: (slow-motion yell)

(Lilac collapsed to the ground.)

Lord Kuro: You three!

Yoru, Hoshi & Eirian: Aye!

Lord Kuro: Take her with us and see if her "friends" could try and save her now.

Yoru, Hoshi & Eirian: Yes, boss!

(Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian dragged Lilac on the ground.)

Eirian: Oh my, she's heavy.

Yoru: Maybe she isn't as little as we thought.

Hoshi: You're the one that makes quick assumptions, so that's on you!

Yoru: No, it isn't!

Lord Kuro: Easy, boys. We'll sort 'em out later.

Sash Lilac: Le-let me go!

Lord Kuro: Ease your emotions, dragon. We'll let you go soon.

Sash Lilac: No! No! NO!

(The ship closes its door and flies back into outer space.)

Part 12: Old Friends Reunite!
(Meanwhile, not too far away, Carol was walking down a hill, feeling upset by what Lilac had done to her.)

Carol Tea: I just don't get it. Why would she do that?

Milla Basset: Carol!

(Carol turned to see Milla, Neera, Spade, Lei, and Ai catching up to her.)

Carol Tea: Oh, it's you, guys.

Ai: You okay, Carol? You look pretty worn-out.

Carol Tea: Yeah, I'm fine.

Neera Li: You don't look fine; I could see a bit of a tear on your eye.

Carol Tea: Whatever, scary lady.

Neera Li: Please don't call me that.

Lei: Hey! There's a village over there!

(Lei pointed at a small settlement just across the river.)

Ai: Ah. Great work, Lei.

Carol Tea: Well, we could just rest there and get some help to fix our ship, I guess.

(The remaining six approached the village. When they reached the gate, one of them held their spear against them.)

Guard #1: Halt!

Guard #2: What brings you here, aliens?

Ai: "Aliens?"

Spade: We're not from here, so they'd assume that.

Carol Tea: Look, we're here because our ship crashed down just past that hill, and we need someone who could assist that.

(Guard #2 leaned to Guard #1.)

Guard #2: Should we let 'em in?

Guard #1: You sure about that?

Guard #2: Look, there's smoke rising from above! You could definitely tell they're not lying.

Guard #1: But what if it's a campfire?

Guard #2: Does a campfire have smoke rising like that?

Guard #1: No, but-

Guard #2: See?

(Guard #2 went back to his position.)

Guard #2: Apologies for the inconvenience, fellas. Sure, you can enter.

Carol Tea: Thanks.

(And Carol, Milla, Neera, Spade, Lei and Ai entered through the gate.)

Guard #1: They're not coming out alive. What have you done?

Guard #2: You don't know that.

(Inside the village, it was busy. Blacksmiths and farmers were everywhere.)

Carol Tea: Dang, this place is so busy!

Ai: Uh, duh. Of course it is.

Carol Tea: Using my own words against me, huh?

Ai: Yeah. What are you gonna do about it?

Carol Tea: I could strangle you right now, but I can't because if I do, we'd get kicked out.

Ai: Ha.

(Carol approached a mechanic.)

Carol Tea: Hey, we need some help.

Mechanic: What'chu need?

Carol Tea: We need someone to fix our ship that crash-landed over there.

(Carol pointed to the smoke. The blacksmith saw it and began laughing.)

Mechanic: Girl, you think I fix people's stuff for free? This one will cost you... let's just say, five-thousand bucks.

Carol Tea: Five-thousand bucks?!

(Carol looked through her pockets.)

Carol Tea: I've only got a penny.

Mechanic: Well, too bad. Scram before I go and-

Unknown: Actually, I'll take it from here.

(Carol, Milla, Neera, Spade, Lei and Ai turned around and spotted an alien.)

Milla Basset: Is that...?

Carol Tea: No. It can't be, can it?

Unknown: See, these girls have helped me ever since Brevon's attack on the other planet Avalice. So I figured, "Why don't I just repay the favor?"

(The alien turned around.)

Torque: The name's Torque, and I'll help you fix that ship of yours.

(He gave a thumbs-up.)

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: TORQUE!

(Carol and Milla ran to Torque and hugged him.)

Torque: Carol, Milla, how you girls doing?

Carol Tea: Not so good.

Torque: Why?

Klaatu: Torque!

Torque: Hm? Oh, Klaatu!

(Klaatu had a similar look to Torque. Torque and Klaatu fist-bumped each other.)

Klaatu: I take it you know these guys?

Torque: Girls. Except for him, as he's a guy, and those two, because I've never met 'em before.

Lei: Well, in that case, hello, Mr. Torque! I'm Lei!

Ai: And I'm Ai, Lei's best friend.

Torque: Well, then, it's nice to meet you, Lei and Ai. Where's Lilac?

Carol Tea: She's not our friend anymore.

Torque: Really? How come?

(Carol sighed.)

Carol Tea: We got into a big fight earlier.

Torque: You did? Oh, that's a shame. I was excited to see her again, especially since you somehow arrived here.

Klaatu: Uhh, Torque, you might wanna take a look at this.

Torque: What is it, Klaatu?

(Klaatu shows Torque a newspaper. The newspaper said: "Unknown entity takes a dragon-identified girl.")

Torque: Is that..?

Carol Tea: Is that what?

(Carol and Milla looked at the newspaper.)

Carol Tea: That's Lilac! Oh no, she got taken by Lord Kuro!

Torque: Who?

Carol Tea: I'll explain later. For now, we gotta save her!

(Carol sat on a crate.)

Carol Tea: This is all my fault. I should never have told Lilac off. If anything, she could be dead soon because of me. So we've gotta go! Now!

Torque: But this ship of yours. It'll take a long time to repair it by myself!

Klaatu: Two can play at that game.

(Klaatu held onto a wrench.)

Mechanic: I take back what I said. This repair is free!

(Many other citizens of the village approached them.)

Ai: Lei, what's going on?

Lei: I think they're helping us.

Torque: Well, Carol, Milla, what do you say?

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: We accept!

Torque: Fantastic! Let's get to work, everyone and stop whoever this Lord Kuro is before it's too late!

(Everyone cheered as a flying creature swiped across the screen.)

Part 13: High Stakes
(Meanwhile, back in Lord Kuro's ship, in the bridge, Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian placed Lilac in chains.)

Sash Lilac: Let me go!

Yoru: Too bad, dragon.

Eirian: Your so-called "friends" can't save you now.

Sash Lilac: I know they will! Especially Carol.

Hoshi: Awww... moping about the loss of your friends, huh? Well, worry not, my friend!

Sash Lilac: I am NOT your friend! Especially what you've done earlier!

Yoru: Sounds like we shall calm you down.

(Yoru picked up a syringe containing an orange liquid.)

Sash Lilac: What is that?

Yoru: This liquid shall put you into a deep sleep until we figure out what to do with ya.

Sash Lilac: What?!

(Yoru applied some gloves. He squirted out some of the liquid.)

Yoru: Just calm down and have peace within.

Sash Lilac: No! Nononono!

(It was too late. Yoru already injected the liquid into Lilac's bloodstream. She then fainted afterwards.)

Hoshi: Jeez, it doesn't hurt to have a little medicine in your life now, does it?

(Eirian chuckled.)

Eirian: It does. I wonder what's going on inside her head.

(Fade to black for a few moments before showing Lilac in a black background.)

Sash Lilac: Hello? Hello!

Unknown: So we meet again, Lilac.

(Lilac gasped. The camera panned to the left to reveal Lord Arktivus Brevon, Serpentine, and Syntax.)

Lord Brevon: Remember when we first met? That was when I knew we were gonna have a fun time.

Sash Lilac: You. Lord Brevon. I fought you once, I could do it again.

Lord Brevon: Really? Get her, lads.

Syntax & Serpentine: Roger that.

(Syntax and Serpentine charged towards Lilac. Lilac dodged their attacks.)

Lord Brevon: Impressive. But can you dodge this?

(Brevon wielded his sword and swiped it at Lilac.)

Sash Lilac: Ah!

(Lilac fell to the ground.)

Lord Brevon: Exactly.

(Brevon approached Lilac and grabbed her with his hand.)

Lord Brevon: Heed this piece of advice, dragon. All you will be is a useless and an utter wimp who will never achieve what us lords could do. Give up and I could spare you.

(Lilac's hair shadowed her eyes.)

Sash Lilac: Maybe I am just a small dragon girl from a small planet... but it doesn't stop me from being I was destined to be.

(Brevon growled.)

Syntax: Body temperature is rising.

Serpentine: What is she doing?

(Lilac used "Hair Whip" at Brevon's face.)

Lord Brevon: Ah!

(Lilac's hair hits Brevon, dropping her.)

Lord Brevon: Get that dragon!

(Syntax and Serpentine charged towards Lilac before she twirled around. Then, she performed a dive kick, kicking Serpentine and Syntax, both of whom screamed.)

Lord Brevon: Impossible!

(A fiery border engulfed Lilac before she used "Dragon Boost", charging quickly towards Brevon before using a "Rising Slash" at him.)

Lord Brevon: NOOOOOO!

(Brevon then disappeared into tiny specks of sparkling dust, before Lilac finally woke up in real time.)

Hoshi: So how was your little nap?

Sash Lilac: You wouldn't dare to know. Plus, that wasn't even long.

Yoru: But why? I just put you to sleep.

(Lord Kuro entered the bridge.)

Lord Kuro: Gentlemen. Prep the ships.

Yoru, Hoshi, & Eirian: Yes, master!

(Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian left the bridge.)

Sash Lilac: What are you doing?!

Lord Kuro: Ooh. Have they not told you? You just got the front seat of the house to see your home planet, Avalice, be destroyed.

(Lilac gasped.)

Sash Lilac: You wouldn't!

Lord Kuro: Would I?

(Kuro pressed a big red button that activated the doors of the cargo hold as pods flew to Avalice. Meanwhile, back on the planet, the leaders of Avalice had just finished up the shelters...)

Mayor Zao: Well, I think that's all of 'em.

Prince Dail: You know, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad we're teamin' up here.

Mayor Zao: Me too, Dail.

Royal Magister: Good work, you two. Now let's-

(A rumbling noise could be heard. Small pods rained down from the sky.)

Prince Dail: Oh crap!

Mayor Zao: Gah! We're too late!

(Pods landed on the ground, with aliens exiting them and attacking everyone.)

Lupa: We're reporting live at the Shang Tu Royal Palace, where many extraterrestrial entities are attacking everyone they see. I'm also being told that a similar situation is occurring in Shang Mu and Shuigang. Folks, this might be Lord Kuro's doings. But I advise you all to stay calm.

(Cut to a field outside of Shang Tu.)

General Gong: Listen up, folks. We are in the middle of an all-time doomsday, but with all the resources we have, we might be able to rebel back and save Avalice!

(The soldiers of Shang Tu, Shang Mu, and Shuigang cheered.)

Lóng: Remember, folks, its weak spot is its fore-head! If you can find a way to hit it, they'll go down.

Shiro: And do whatever you can do to hold them back and prevent them from spreading to the rest of the planet. The whole world depends on you! And those folks up there.

Soldiers: Yes, sirs!

Mitt: Alright. Shang Mu soldiers, you take on those at Shang Mu. Shuigang, you're in Shuigang. The rest of you will take on Shang Tu. We'll get as much civilians as we can into the shelters.

Soldiers: Yes, sir!

General Gong: Okay! Any questions?

Sam: What about the guys that went to space?

General Gong: They're not our problem right now.

Sam: But-

General Gong: Sorry, but we can't do anything about them. Alright, everyone! Go, go, go!

Lóng, Shiro & Mitt: Go, go, go!

(The soldiers split up. Back at the shelters...)

Mayor Zao: Where the heck are they?

Prince Dail: Don't ask me! Get into the shelter!

(Dail and Zao ran into their own shelter.)

Royal Magister: Where are you, guys?

Prince Dail: C'mon!

(Dail took the Magister and closed the door to the shelter. Meanwhile, back in space...)

Milla Basset: Shoot! They've started!

Torque: What are we gonna do?

Carol Tea: Well, we're gonna have to go in Kuro's ship to stop it.

Lei: We're right behind ya!

Ai: Me too!

Torque: Me three!

Carol Tea: No. You guys go back to Avalice and help out the civilians. Milla and I will go into the ship ourselves.

Ai: What?

Lei: But you'll die in there!

Carol Tea: Had I not lost my temper at Lilac, none of this would've happened. And now, she's stuck in there because of me. So it's about time I redeem myself.

Neera Li: Girls, we're comin' in hot.

(Neera drove the ship near Kuro's. No pods seemed to shield it.)

Spade: Well, this Kuro doesn't know how to protect his ship.

Carol Tea: Milla, hang onto me. We're going in!

Ai: Be careful in there.

Carol Tea: Thanks, Ai.

(Carol and Milla put on their helmets.)

Neera Li: Ready?

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: Ready!

(Neera opened the airlock, sucking Carol and Milla out into space and toward the mothership.)

Milla Basset: Are you serious?! We're going in there again?!

(The garbage chute opened.)

Carol Tea: It's our only ticket in!

(The chute began closing.)

Carol Tea: Hang on!

(Carol and Milla got through the door just in time. They both took off their suits.)

Milla Basset: Alright. Let's go find Lilac!

(Carol and Milla left the garbage room. Inside the bridge, Lilac was struggling to get out of the chains.)

Sash Lilac: Why are you doing this?!

(Brevon grunted.)

Sash Lilac: You have to explain! You can't just destroy our planet for no reason!

Lord Kuro: It's all because of them.

Sash Lilac: Who's "them?"

Lord Kuro: The Spectrum Chasers.

(Then, it hit Lilac.)

Sash Lilac: "The Specturm Chasers?"

(Fade to a 2D-animated format.)

Lord Kuro: Our planet, Bituin, was among one of the Chasers' targets for elimination. We tried to fight back.

Spectrum Chasers' Captain: Attack!

(Soldiers of the Spectrum Chasers fought the aliens of Kuro's.)

Lord Kuro: But it was no use. They were overpowered. And as a result, they had finally eliminated the entire population of our planet. So we, the last remaining aliens, built a ship that set off course into the stars, hoping we could find a new planet to re-colonize.

Sash Lilac: But how did you find our planet?

(Kuro chuckled.)

Lord Kuro: It wasn't hard. One of our maps detected a planet just right for the conditions we need to live. And that planet, as the map called it, was Avalice. But it had already been habited by fools like you, so the only way to get there was by extermination.

Sash Lilac: And to think that everyone knew about you. They even knew your name. How crazy was that?

Lord Kuro: Very crazy.

(The format cuts back to 3D.)

Lord Kuro: So now, to prevent any info of this leaking, you, Sash Lilac, will be exterminated.

Sash Lilac: Wait, WHAT?!

(Kuro unhooked Lilac and put her in cuffs.)

Sash Lilac: Now where are you taking me?!

(They all entered an airlock.)

Sash Lilac: Oh, no! Don't tell me you're gonna do that!

(Kuro sneered evilly.)

Lord Kuro: The vacuum of space. Only 15 seconds out there without a suit, and lights out.

Sash Lilac: Wait!

(Kuro had already left. The iron door closed.)

Intercom: Initiating opening sequence in 15 seconds.

Sash Lilac: Oh no! This is not good! Help! Help!

(Meanwhile, Carol and Milla heard Lilac's cries for help. Milla scented her sound.)

Milla Basset: She's this way!

(Carol and Milla reached the hallway leading to the airlock.)

Intercom: 6. 5. 4. 3. 2.

Sash Lilac: HELP!

Intercom: 1. 0.

(Lilac shut her eyes. Nothing happened.)

Sash Lilac: Huh?

Intercom: Sequence terminated.

(The door raised, revealing Carol and Milla.)

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: Lilac!

Sash Lilac: Carol! Milla! You're here!

Carol Tea: Friends stick together, do they?

Sash Lilac: Yes, they do. I'm so, so sorry for what I did before. It was wrong.

Carol Tea: And I'm sorry too. Sounds like you do know what you're doing.

Milla Basset: Umm, not to interrupt the apology sequence, but we have a villain to defeat!

Carol Tea: Oh, right! Give us a moment.

(Carol unlocked the cuffs from Lilac.)

Sash Lilac: Thanks.

(Then, she looked around.)

Sash Lilac: Where's Neera, Spade, Lei and Ai?

Carol Tea: They're in Avalice helping to fight Kuro's minions.

Sash Lilac: Oh. At least they don't know what I had been through, especially Lei.

Carol Tea: Yeah. You're right about that. Come on!

(Lilac, Carol, and Milla left the airlock.)

Part 14: Battle for Avalice
(Meanwhile, back in Avalice, aliens exited their probes and began attacking Avalicians.)

Avalician #1: Run for your lives!

Avalician #2: Where are they?!

Avalician #3: I didn't even get to finish my game with Dan!

(At the launch pad, the spaceships landed on the runway. Gong, Lóng, Shiro & Mitt were there.)

Neera Li: General Gong, what is going on?

General Gong: The planet is under attack by who we suspect to be Kuro's minions.

Torque: I feel like this is gonna be like the "Brevon" situation all over again.

Lóng: We have to do something about this! Our armies' not strong enough to defeat all of them!

Shiro: Wait a second, where are the other three?

Spade: They're in Kuro's mothership to defeat him.

Mitt: What?! They'll die in there!

Spade: We don't know if they will, but we just have to believe in them.

Lei: Well, why are we just standing here? We gotta fight!

Ai: Lei, we don't know if that'll work. They're overpowered!

Neera Li: Lei's right, everyone. Whether or not we could win this war, we have to fight back. It's better than doing nothing.

Mitt: As for us and some other soldiers, we'll get as many Avalicians as we can into the shelters.

General Gong: You three will do that. I'll stay above ground and fight with these four.

Torque: Five.

General Gong: Five then.

Neera Li: Alright. Come on!

(The eight ran into the battlefield. Meanwhile, in Kuro's mothership, Lilac, Carol, and Milla ran through a hall.)

Carol Tea: What happened to you, Lilac?

Sash Lilac: A lot.

(Then they stopped. An army of aliens blocked their path.)

Sash Lilac: Oh, it's on.

(The team unleashed their battle moves. Lilac used her dragon cyclone, hair whip, rising slash, dive kick, and crouch attack. Carol used her claw combo, wild claw, wild kick, and pounce. And finally, Milla used her barrier shield, shield burst, and puppy float. The aliens were hit from these moves and fell. The three landed and made their victory poses, as the victory theme from Freedom Planet (2014) plays.)

Sash Lilac: That's how it's done!

Carol Tea: Hehe, feel my power!

Milla Basset: I'm a Super Dog!

(This was long interrupted by a crackle from a screen above.)

Lord Kuro: So, you've figured out a way to reunite with your friends, Lilac? Aww... what a cute, wittle reunion!

Sash Lilac: That's right! They'll never leave my side!

Milla Basset: Yeah!

Carol Tea: What's the next thing you're gonna do, you vile, disgusting freak?!

Lord Kuro: Oh, I'm not gonna do anything. I'll just simply let you try to defeat me. In zero gravity!

(Kuro pressed a button that deactivated the artificial gravity on his ship.)

Carol Tea: Whoa!

Lord Kuro: Ha-ha! Good luck, girls!

(The screen shuts off.)

Milla Basset: Lilac, what are we gonna do? There's no way we could defeat him in an environment like this!

Sash Lilac: I don't know how we could do this, but we're not backing down this time!

Carol Tea: Not this again.

Sash Lilac: Come on, I'm being serious.

Carol Tea: Okay.

Sash Lilac: Follow me. I know where he is.

(Lilac grabbed onto a bar and thrusted herself. Carol and Milla did the same. Back in Avalice, the others had arrived at the battlefield.)

Neera Li: Well, this got a lot more interesting.

Lei: I hope my family is safe out there.

General Gong: Panda, look out!

(An alien wielded his sword on Lei, but he is hit by Ai.)

Ai: Nobody messes with my best friend.

Lei: Thanks, Ai.

Ai: No problemo. Let's find your family!

(Lei and Ai ran.)

Lóng: Come on, you two. Let's go find some civilians!

Shiro & Mitt: Right behind you!

(Lóng, Shiro & Mitt also ran.)

General Gong: Well, it's just you and me, Lady Neera and other panda.

Spade: Spade.

(Neera wielded her ice staff and shot an alien with it.)

Neera Li: Freeze! You're gonna be in prison for a long time.

(Spade threw cards at two other aliens, who were hit by them and fell.)

Spade: You never belonged here anyway.

(Torque shot the aliens with his blaster, blowing holes through them. He blew the smoke that rose from the shell.)

Torque: Not today, fellas.

(And finally, General Gong threw his shield at three other aliens, decapitating them. No blood is shown, however.)

General Gong: See you around, spacemen.

(Meanwhile, Lei and Ai looked for the former's family.)

Lei: Mom! Dad! May!

Ai: Where are you?!

(Then they gasped. They saw that Mr. Ember, Mrs. Ember, and May were cornered by five aliens, waiting to attack them.)

Lei: Shoot! What are we gonna do?!

Ai: Lei!

(Ai had a box full of slingshots and rocks. Lei smiled. Meanwhile, with the rest of the Embers...)

Mr. Ember: Well, this is it. If only Lei was here with us...

(The three embraced their end before one of the aliens was hit by a rock. They all turned.)

Ai: You mess with them...

Lei: ...you mess with us, jerks.

(Lei and Ai threw rocks at the aliens with the slingshots.)

Lei: Run, guys! We won't be able to hold them for long!

Mr. Ember: Lei!

May: Sis!

Lei: I'll be fine! Just get out of here while you still can!

(Shiro came with a golf cart.)

Shiro: Hop on, y'all!

(Mr. Ember, Mrs. Ember, and May hopped onto Shiro's golf cart. They drove off.)

Mrs. Ember: Where are we going?

Shiro: To the shelters. You're gonna be safe there.

(Underground, the Royal Magister, Dail, and Zao sat in their bunker.)

Mayor Zao: Well, seems like we're dead. There's no hope in the world anymore. They're all gonna take us.

Royal Magister: Don't lose hope just yet. I'm sure they'll figure out a way to save us all.

Prince Dail: Tell that to the god when you reach the sky.

(Back in Kuro's ship, Lilac, Carol, and Milla struggled to get to Kuro.)

Milla Basset: Jeez, this is tougher than we thought!

(Milla dodges a box.)

Sash Lilac: We're getting close. I can feel it.

Carol Tea: Come on. I'm getting sick from this.

Sash Lilac: Here!

(The three hid beneath the window of a door. Kuro was behind it.)

Carol Tea: How are we gonna get in there? Surprise attack?

Sash Lilac: No. That's not gonna work. I've been there before. He's too strong for something like that.

Milla Basset: Then what else? If there's nothing, then we're as good as dead.

Sash Lilac: All I know is that if those windows bust, the vacuum could possibly defeat him.

Carol Tea: But how are we going to break those windows open? They look as if they're not as easy as one, two, thr-

(The door opened, revealing Kuro, apparently not affected by the zero-gravity environment.)

Lord Kuro: Well, well, well, if it isn't who I think they are...

(Kuro grabbed Lilac, Carol, and Milla with his hand and pushed them into a wall.)

Lord Kuro: I gotta say, I'm very impressed with you three. I didn't think you'd make it all the way here with your little arms and legs of yours.

Carol Tea: That's because we've got something you will never achieve: the power of friendship.

Lord Kuro: Oh my, friendship. That's enough about that. When I stab you with my sword!

Milla Basset: Lilac, watch out!

(Lilac narrowly ducked under from Kuro's sword, getting it stuck on the wall, while Carol and Milla got out of the way.)

Lord Kuro: Agh!

(Kuro pulled the sword free and swung towards Carol.)

Carol Tea: Ah!

Sash Lilac: Carol!

(Carol was swung to the window.)

Milla Basset: You leave her alone, you big bully!

Lord Kuro: Or what?

(Kuro swung his sword against Milla.)

Milla Basset: Ahh!

Sash Lilac: Milla!

(Milla collided with the window.)

Lord Kuro: What now, girls?

Sash Lilac: You don't mess with Carol or Milla.

(Lilac charged at him, all while being completely weightless.)

Lord Kuro: You just don't know when to quit, do you?

(Kuro swung his sword, but Lilac dodges it.)

Lord Kuro: Drat!

(Lilac charged at him again, this time, hitting him in the head.)

Lord Kuro: Agh!

(Carol and Milla awoke to see Lilac fighting Kuro.)

Lord Kuro: I'm telling you, you're too late!

(Kuro grabbed ahold of his sword again and swiped Lilac near her eye.)

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: Lilac!

(Carol grabbed ahold of Lilac.)

Sash Lilac: Ow!

Carol Tea: Lilac, you get out of here. We'll deal with this ourselves.

Sash Lilac: No. You go. I'll stop him myself.

Milla Basset: But what about you?

Sash Lilac: Don't worry about me. It's about time I showed to you that friends help each other.

Milla Basset: But not possibly sacrificing yourself!

Sash Lilac: Hey, hey, it's okay. In the worst-case scenario that I don't, just know I'll always be with you.

(Carol and Milla hugged Lilac tightly.)

Carol Tea: You got this, Lilac.

(Kuro charged at Lilac again. Carol and Milla moved out of the way and left the battle.)

Lord Kuro: What's next for you, dragon?

Sash Lilac: Anything that'll impress me.

Lord Kuro: Ha! "Impress me?" Girl, there is nothing you can impress me with- Ah!

(Kuro was interrupted after Lilac slashes him with her hair.)

Sash Lilac: The war's not over yet, Kuro.

(Lilac charged at Kuro again, shoving him to a window. He groaned. Kuro wielded his sword at Lilac, but misses. Instead, the sword hits a button.)

''Intercom: Self-destruct sequence initiated. Countdown to termination in: 60 seconds.''

Lord Kuro: Oh, if I'm going, I'm taking you to hell with me!

Sash Lilac: Not for long!

(They continue their fight. Lilac is then surrounded by windows. Kuro was about to impale her, but misses, causing him to stab on the window. Air begins leaking.)

Lord Kuro: Ugh! Stuck!

(Lilac manages to get out and seals the door to the bridge shut with an iron bar. Kuro notices this.)

Lord Kuro: Well played, dragon. You've done the impossible. But know this: I will haunt you, follow you, and you will rue the day you defeated me. You'll see one day! You! Will! See!

(The window finally gives way, and Kuro is sucked into the vacuum of space. Lilac watched in horror as the camera cuts to his now-frozen body drifting into deep space.)

Sash Lilac: Well, he did give me the cold shoulder anyway.

Intercom: Countdown to detonation in: 30 seconds.

Sash Lilac: Oh, shoot!

(Lilac grabbed onto bars and thrusted herself as the ship began tilting.)

Sash Lilac: Come on, there has to be escape pods.

(Lilac arrived at the emergency room. She found a spare escape pod.)

Sash Lilac: A-ha!

(She attempted to open the door, but to no avail.)

Sash Lilac: Come on!

Intercom: 15 seconds.

Sash Lilac: OPEN UP, YOU STUPID THING!

Intercom: ''10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0.''

(The door opens up at the last second, but it was too late. The ship had finally exploded as the fireball blew up the room, possibly including Lilac. Cut to another probeship, where Carol and Milla were inside. They watched as the mothership exploded.)

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: LILAC!

(Then cut to a wide shot of the ship exploding, then back down in Avalice, where Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian watched from the ground.)

Hoshi: That's not good.

(Yoru picked up a radio.)

Yoru: Master, do you copy?

(No answer.)

Yoru: Master, I say again, do you copy?

(Still no answer.)

Eirian: Should we call off the invasion?

(Yoru sighed as he puts down the radio.)

Yoru: Yes.

Eirian: All units, retreat back to Shang Tu. The mothership has been destroyed. I repeat, the mothership has been destroyed.

(Cut to aliens receiving the call from Eirian, and then leaving the rest of the Avalicians alone. Then cut to the bunkers opening.)

Shiro: Is it over?

Lóng: I think it is.

Mitt: They did it. They did it!

(Everyone throughout Avalice cheers for victory, including the Royal Magister, Zao, and Dail.)

Prince Dail: Well done, brother.

Mayor Zao: Glorious work from our fellow heroes!

+5 ENCOURAGEMENT

(The Magister looked up as the smoke from space was seen..)

Royal Magister: I knew I had it within you.

(However, the same cannot be said for Carol and Milla, as they watched in dismay.)

Carol Tea: Lilac cannot be gone. Not now!

Milla Basset: Wait. Look over there!

(A white pod could be seen emerging from the debris. In it was Lilac!)

Carol Tea & Milla Basset: Lilac!

Sash Lilac: (laughing) I told you I could do it!

(She drove the pod to the cargo door of Carol and Milla's probeship.)

Milla Basset: But how'd you make it?

Sash Lilac: Pods. Come on, let's go home.

(Lilac pushed the throttle of the ship to Avalice.)

Part 15: Victory!
(The probeship lands on the runway, where Neera, Spade, and the others were. They all cheered, including the leaders. The door opened, revealing Lilac, Carol, and Milla.)

Carol Tea: And just like that, the world is saved once again!

Bystander #1: Let's go, girls!

Bystander #2: We kinda forgive you!

(Dail saw Spade.)

Prince Dail: Hey! Spade!

(Spade noticed Dail.)

Spade: Oh. Big bro.

(Dail hugged Spade.)

Prince Dail: I knew you'd save the day.

Spade: Really? Then who was the one that said "working with an arch-enemy could totally go wrong?"

Prince Dail: Stop.

Spade: Speaking of whom...

(Spade walked to Lilac.)

Spade: So, now with this out of the way, how about we just call the truce an end and go back to our separate, rivalry lives?

Sash Lilac: Oh, yes, I would.

(Lilac and Spade shook hands.)

Spade: Alright. Now with that done, I'll catch ya later.

Carol Tea: Where are you going?

Spade: Wherever I need to be.

(Spade left the site and disappeared.)

Neera Li: Congratulations, you three. You have proven yourselves as "worthy of being the Protectors of Avalice."

Royal Magister: And for your reward, you each will receive the Medal of Honor.

(The Magister shushed everyone.)

Royal Magister: My friends, we are here to celebrate the defeat of the overlord known as Lord Kuro. These three brave women, along with their allies, have traveled beyond the depths of space to battle that monster, knowing they might not make it. But they were proven wrong when they did so, after escaping through a probeship back to Avalice, going above and beyond the call of duty.

(The Magister placed three medals on Lilac, Carol, and Milla's neck. Everyone clapped once again, including Spade, who watched from a tower.)

Torque: (to himself) And to think they were just young girls.

Lei: Girls!

(The three walked down to the ground.)

Milla Basset: What's up?

Lei: This is definitely a coincidence, but my mother managed to sew these long before you came back to Avalice, even if we didn't think you'd make it.

(Lei opened three boxes to reveal three new outfits for Lilac, Carol, and Milla.)

Ai: Accept this as our gift for you.

Milla Basset: Wow! Thank you!

Carol Tea: Why does mine stay the same?

Lei: Technically, there's new upgrades.

Carol Tea: Eh, it's better than nothin'.

Sash Lilac: Wait a second, Neera!

Neera Li: Yes?

Sash Lilac: What did you guys do to the aliens?

Neera Li: Oh, it's pretty easy.

(Smash cut to a shot of the aliens tied in ropes, including Yoru, Hoshi, and Eirian, who were being put in trucks by Gong and Neera.)

Yoru: You'll never take us alive!

Hoshi & Eirian: Yeah! We'll get back at you someday!

(The trucks' doors closed and they set off for the prison.)

General Gong: Job well done!

(Back to present.)

Milla Basset: So what now?

Neera Li: Stay vigilant.

(The audience clapped and cheered once again before fading to black.)

Part 16: The End
(A subtitle saying: "One week later" appeared, and we fade in to a shot of a large bandshell.)

Lupa: And now, with Lord Kuro gone once and for all, the famous band "Doragonshea" would be performing in honor of the three heroes that saved Avalice from total destruction.

Steele: How great, Lupa. No doubt this will be a fantastic show!

Lupa: Certainly, Steele. And short announcement, everyone. I will be retiring as the main interviewer, and taking my spot will be the one and only Maria Notte.

(Maria Notte, a fruit bat, appeared on screen.)

Maria Notte: Thanks for offering me this spot, Lupa. It'll be an honor to bring you news for the days to come.

Lupa: Now of course, I'll still be working for the news, just off-screen.

(Meanwhile, Lilac, Carol, and Milla, already in their new outfits, watched the band members set up their equipment.)

Carol Tea: Okay, maybe now, that argument we had, it counts now, right?

Sash Lilac: Nope. Still doesn't count.

Milla Basset: Guys, it's starting.

(The spotlights moved to the center of the stage, revealing a peach-colored fox on the stage with his band members.)

Band Singer: Ladies and gentlemen! Let's give a round of applause for Lilac and her friends! This song is dedicated to them!

(The other members began playing their instruments to the tune of "Speed of Light.")

Band Singer:

The world I've known had a history

A history that's changed our living...

(Just then, Lei, her family, and Ai appeared.)

Lei: Hey, girls!

Sash Lilac: Oh, Lei! Ai! What are you doing here?

Ai: Thought we'd might stop by to hang out with you.

Mr. Ember: That and to give you guys a special thanks for saving us out there.

Mrs. Ember: You didn't have to do that, especially since Lei is still afraid of outer space.

Lei: (shivering) N-Never a-a.. again...

Mrs. Ember: The poor girl is afraid for life from that! We figured we might have to sign her up for therapy to clear out her mind.

Lei: Mom! Please no!

Mrs. Ember: We have to do that, honey.

May: Anyways, Milla, next time you visit us, we'll continue our roleplay?

Milla Basset: Certainly.

May: Great!

Mr. Ember: Once again, thanks for giving us a shot.

Carol Tea: Anytime, Mr. Ember.

Mr. Ember: If you need a call, I gotcha.

(Mr. Ember gave Carol his number.)

Carol Tea: Okay.

Mr. Ember: Alright. Take care, you three!

Sash Lilac: Bye!

(The Embers and Ai left, while Lei continued bellowing with her mother against therapy.)

Sash Lilac: Well, that was interesting.

(A phone dialed from Lilac's pocket.)

Sash Lilac: Hello?

(Split-screen to show Neera.)

Neera Li: Lilac, it's Neera.

Sash Lilac: What is it?

Neera Li: We've got a problem. There's a building fire at Shang Mu, and poor Zao is crying his eyes out from watching it burn down.

Mayor Zao: What have I done to deserve this?!

Neera Li: So we figured we'd get you guys to help.

Sash Lilac: And you've called us because...?

Neera Li: We kinda trust you.

Sash Lilac: Alright. We'll be there.

Neera Li: Good. Don't be late.

(The phone hung up.)

Carol Tea: Where are you going?

Sash Lilac: Come on, you guys. We have to go to Shang Mu to help the citizens out of the burning building.

Carol Tea: Oh boy. Can't you be "Little Miss Heropants" some other time?

Sash Lilac: Carol, you know I don't take chances, so nope. Not a chance.

(Carol looked at Milla.)

Milla Basset: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!

(Lilac smiled.)

Narrator: And so it was that our three heroines would go down as one of Avalice's greatest heroes. For Lord Kuro being defeated, and everything going back to normal... the adventure is far from over.

(The three ran towards the screen and the film's title displays before fading to the end credits.)

Credits
(The following dialogue plays during the end crawl.)

Sash Lilac: Alright! You made it!

Carol Tea: Hey, you! Thanks for watching! You're the coolest!

Milla Basset: Nice having you stick around! Heh-heh.

(Torque gave a thumbs-up to the viewer.)

Neera Li: Surprised you didn't leave half-way.

Spade: You think you're cool just by watching the credits, huh? Congrats.

Epilogue (post-credits scene): The Return of an Old Fellow
(In a hilly landscape, a viper climbed on top of a small hill.)

Serpentine: I'll get that dragon and her friends. You think it's all it takes to stop me, Serpentine, the general of the one and only Lord Brevon? Well, not on my watch.

(He cackled as the screen closed on him.)

Serpentine: Just watch out, girls...

(The screen faded to black as the 20th Century Fox logo played.)
