Hilda and the Sea Kingdom/Transcript

This is the full transcript of the 2024 film Hilda and the Sea Kingdom.

Prologue
(The Sony and Sony Pictures Animation appear before cutting to a shot of the sea. In this shot, we see two forces battling for their land next to the Sea Kingdom, a mystical kingdom filled with lanterns and decorative glasses. Then, we cut to a large underwater ship and inside the control room to show Lord Leif, a dark water lord who is in charge of the opposing dark force battling the kingdom's army. A title appears "50 Years Before".)

Lord Leif: Ha ha ha! Now that I have the three powerful crystals in the seven seas, they won't stand a chance against us this time!

(Lord Leif opens a door that reveals monsters of red and black, holding tridents.)

Lord Leif: Seize the kingdom! We need to take down that Light Orb!

(He pointed his hand to the kingdom.)

(Meanwhile, inside the Sea Kingdom, there was Queen Lily, a mermaid with red flower-like hair and a blue tailfin.)

Queen Lily: Ah, Lord Leif. Here to strike again, are you?

(Then, Pil, a cream dwarf humanoid, approaches Queen Lily.)

Pil: What do you want me to do, Madam?

Queen Lily: Have you ordered our army to attack them?

Pil: Well, about that...

Queen Lily: About what?

(Pil exhaled.)

Pil: They've gotten taken down. Their army is too strong!

Queen Lily: What?!

(Cut back to Lord Leif's ship.)

Lord Leif: Perfect. All according to plan.

(The ship went over the walls and inside the center of the kingdom. Lord Leif stepped out of it. He sneered.)

Lord Leif: One step in there, and it will all be gone.

(Just then, Queen Lily saw Lord Leif. She left the castle and walked towards Lord Leif with her guards.)

Queen Lily: So, came to kill this place, I see?

Lord Leif: Yep. And how will you and your little guards prevent that?

Queen Lily: You may have defeated our army, but you will never get through me and my veteran guards.

(Lord Leif simply made a quick move and tackled both Lily and her guards.)

Lord Leif: Haha! Silly weak fools.

(He ran deep inside the castle. Queen Lily stood up quickly and chased behind.)

(After a few minutes searching and attacking everything that stood in his way, Lord Leif found the Light Orb. It glowed and gleamed.)

Lord Leif: At long last. The Light Orb. Once I take it out of its place, this whole kingdom will shatter to the ocean floor.

(Before Lord Leif could get his hands on the orb, Queen Lily saw him.)

Queen Lily: Don't do it!

Lord Leif: Or what? You're gonna kill me?

Queen Lily: No! You'll fall with the kingdom!

Lord Leif: Along with you too.

Queen Lily: A queen must protect her citizens at all costs, even if it means sacrificing yourself to save them.

(A three-second interval took place between the two of them. Then Leif broke the silence by jumping straight at Lily, triggering a fight between the two. The two fought back and forth, throwing magic spells at each other, and even Leif duplicated himself into 6 clones to confuse Lily, that was what led to Lily's imminent defeat, as the real one managed to give her a strong kick throwing her straight into the wall. After that, he ran to grab the Light Orb, Lily with the little strength she had left saw how he was about to take the orb.

Queen Lily: No!

(Lord Leif cackled. And took the Light Orb from its place, this caused a shock wave that covered the entire kingdom. And after that, a scene was seen where everyone saw how the vegetation along with fruits, vegetables and even magic withered, everyone was even more upset when out of nowhere they felt a great tremor, it was from the kingdom that began to sink due to the lack of energy and magic. Returned to Leif and Lily, Lord Leif laughed maniacally.)

Lord Leif: What now, Your Majesty? (laughs maniacally)

(Crumble!)

Lord Leif: I have all the power now! Nothing could stop me now!

Queen Lily: You may have won the battle, but you have not won the war!

Lord Leif: You idiot, this is the war! And I have won! Our ancestors finally got what they deserve for what happened decades ago. You know what i'm talking about.

Queen Lily: Ghh, i'm sorry, okay? I've never wanted this happen, i only wanted to-

Lord Leif: Too late now! "Leif took out some kind of weird shell that served as a walkie talkie, and he spoke to the driver of the ship from it." Send it now.

(Debris fell from the ceiling, as a claw, which was part of the ship, had come down to pick up Lord Leif.)

Lord Leif: Ciao!

(And Lord Leif jumped on top of the claw, and it went out of the gaping hole that formed between the castle and the outside world.)

Lord Leif: Huahahahaahahahahah!!!!

(As Lord Leif entered his ship and took off, we then crane down to two witches, who are saddened to see everything around them fall apart within their reach.)

Akkwa: What should we do, Marin? What do we do with our daughter? "She shown their daughter, she was a very young girl"

Marin: (exhaled) I don't know, Akkwa.

(Then, a thought occurred to him.)

Marin: Do you know that spell that could make a very sturdy bubble?

Akkwa: Yeah, why?

Marin: We could do that!

(Marin looked over to a very young water witch, oblivious to what's happening.)

Marin: Come on, honey. Let's do this.

(Cut to outside, where Akkwa and Marin place the water witch inside the bubble.)

Marin: Lir, do not forget about us.

Akkwa: We know that you could help restore the kingdom back to its old roots.

Marin: But before we go, know this...

(Marin conducted a spell that depicts a young girl.)

Marin: This is a girl. She will be born in a distant future, achieving such great goals at a young age; one of them saving her world from a dastardly spirit.

Akkwa: And her friends will come to assist you, along with two other creatures, one being an octopus, and the other a Kappa of Japanese folklore.

Lir: Wha?

Marin: Yeah, i don't even know why a Kappa too, but well. Don't worry about us. We'll be fine.

(The bubble closed its hatch and floated up towards the surface, with Lir pounding the bubble to come back, all while Marin and Akkwa hugged each other before the kingdom landed to the bottom of the ocean. Lord Leif watched from the distance. He chuckled.)

Lord Leif: So long, Sea Kingdom. This is just the beginning of my master plan. "He then turned around" WHO'S GONNA STOP ME NOOOW!?

(Then he cackled before cutting to the opening titles.)

Part 1
(In the black screen, a title appears "50 Years Later". After that title, the screen fades to the sky and then goes down to show Trolberg. And then a montage where the screen moved around the city showing several shots where we are shown the life of several characters seen in the original series, such as Trevor, Kaisa, The Raven Leader, and even some other background characters already seen. In this montage you can hear a song called, "Mr. Blue Sky". At the end of the montage, the camera finally arrives at Hilda's house, and the screen shows Hilda sleeping in her bed. And she wakes up. At the exact moment she open her eyes, She stood up on the bed and yawn.)

Hilda: Good, morning house! "Twig woke up too, and went to Hilda to say good morning" Hahah, good morning to you too my little Twig... "She looked at Alfur's clock house, and got out of bed to say good morning to his elf friend as well" Good Morning Alfur!!!

Alfur: GAH!! "He got out of his clock house" Don't say it too loud will ya? Anyways, good morning to you as well Hild.

Hilda: Sorry, Alfur.

(She got off the bed and dressed quickly. Then we are cut to several shots of her putting on her sweater, beret, and boots. She struck a pose.)

Hilda: Now who's ready to go adventuring?

(Twig put a paw up.)

Hilda: Good to see you're ready. But before we go on a adventure, let's have breakfast first.

Alfur: Yeah why not?

(Alfur jumped onto Hilda's shoulder and they left the room. Crossing the hallway they saw that Johanna was not in the kitchen cooking breakfast.)

Alfur: Uh, where's mum?

Hilda: I don't know, she would normally be here cooking our breakfast. (Hilda sees something on the table.) Hey look, a letter.

(She grabs the letter and reads it.)

Hilda: "Dear Hilda..."

(Then, the screen faded to white and a flashback occurred. In this flashback, Johanna was seen leaving the apartment to go somewhere. While the flashback was happening Hilda continued to narrate what the letter said.)

Hilda: "By the time you read this, I will be out of town to attend a very important meeting in Oslo. Until then, you, along with Alfur and Twig, will be the only ones in the house. I've already made your breakfast in the fridge, so don't forget that. But I know you won't. After all, you are an adventurer, right? See you later! Love, Mum."

(Hilda looked at Alfur and Twig.)

Alfur: Well...?

Hilda: Don't ask me. I've lived by myself before, but for over a day? No thank you.

Alfur: I suppose we can stay here for the time being.

Hilda: What about our Woff watch with Frida and David later today?

Alfur: Ehh, don't worry about that. We'll them 'em to reschedule it.

Hilda: Whatever, let's just have breakfast.

(Then it was shown from the window as Hilda went to the refrigerator and took out the breakfast her mother had left for them, and the camera panned down, and a girl in a blue jacket, red gloves and glasses was seen walking near Hilda's house. Her face and appearance was not entirely visible because of the clothes she was wearing, she had gone into an alley and entered a secret passageway that no one had found yet. After crossing there, she had entered a room. She took off her jacket, glasses and gloves, revealing that she was Lir, who had already grown into a preteen girl.)

Lir: I'm here guys.

(She flipped a switch and the light came on. In the room there were about three people, and a Kappa who was wearing a mariachi hat. Lir noticed that and asked the Kappa whose name was Tak.)

Lir: Uh, Tak? What happened to your hat?

Tak: Yeah, some people just stole it from me. So Jasper, Miriam and Meilly decided to buy me this... Thing...

Jasper: Hey it's not my fault, that was the cheapest hat we could find for you.

Tak: Yeah right...

Lir: Alright guys, focus! I got something to say. (She sat in one of the chairs at the table.) I've been thinking alot. If it's the time to execute the plan or not. But after what happened months ago with the evil spirit stuff, and we saw that she managed to defeat him with those incredible powers. I think, i think the time has come.

Tak: But, wait. What about that octopus your parents mentioned when they left you?

Lir: Well i'm not sure about that part. But I think we will find him eventually, and bring him up to speed on the situation.

Jasper: Well, honestly it's weird that they also mentioned us in their vision. Like, why exactly do we participate in?

Lir: Hmmm... I guess it's because you guys are also something else. You Jasper are a fearless fighter, who has fought and helped many people when needed.

Jasper: Aww, how considerate you are.

Lir: You Miriam are... A witch, for real?

Miriam: Yeah. I used to be in the Witch tower, but when i tried to warn them about our mission to see if they could help, well... You know what happened.

Lir: Oh okay. And you Meilly. Well, you're a nerd. Nerds are so smart right?

Meilly: Totally! Also a lover of puppies.

Jasper: We all know babe.

Tak: Wait!

Lir: What?

Tak: I think this girl has friends with her too. What should we do about 'em?

(3 seconds of silence. Lir smacked her lips.)

Lir: Yeah, I didn't even think about 'em in the first place.

Jasper: But weren't they with 'em in the first place? I mean, like, ever since that spirit of theirs was defeated months ago, they started hanging out more often.

Lir: Jasper, please. I know what I'm doing.

Jasper: Fine.

Miriam: Should we bring her now?

Lir: No, not yet. We gotta do it later. We got to prepare everything for our operation, now let's get moving. We got stuff to do!

(Meanwhile, inside Hilda's house, Hilda and Alfur had breakfast.)

Hilda: Hm. Not bad eggs and toast. Mum really knows how to make a breakfast like this, right?

Alfur: Yeah.

Hilda: Say, where's your breakfast?

Alfur: In here!

(Alfur took out a large leather bag, which had a container inside.)

Hilda: What is that?

Alfur: Just some breakfast I had delivered here this morning. Had Bartell hand it to me.

Hilda: Oh, so you two are, like, artificial brothers?

Alfur: Oh, Hilda. Sometimes, you're just so too friendly for us. And I like it.

Hilda: True that.

(Suddenly the doorbell rang)

Hilda: Oh! That's definitely has to be Maxxel!

Alfur: Who?

Hilda: You'll see!

(She opened the door, but it wasn't Maxxel who was there. It was a Tontu)

Hilda: Tontu? (She let him in and then closed the door) Where were you?

Tontu: I went to give a visit to my friends, just some nisse that literally don't have anywhere else to go, so they live at the Trolberg landfill

Hilda: Euugh...

Tontu: Yep. I also came across a trio of people who kept talking about what happened two months ago. You know, about the evil spirit in the ring and all that...

Hilda: Ah yes, i still remember that epic fight we had that spirit and i. Good that i managed to defeat him. Otherwise everyone would be dead. So, what else they were talking?

Tontu: Not much else.

Hilda: Oh. Anyways, we were eating breakfast here. We left you some eggs and toast in the refrigerator.

Tontu: How thoughtful you are.

(Then, the doorbell rang again. So Hilda went to see who it was this time. She opened the door and saw nobody. But when she looked down she saw a letter with a title in red marker that read "To Hilda" She picked it up and closed the door.)

Hilda: Someone just left a card on the door. Let's see what's inside.

(She opened it up, and started to read it.)

Hilda: "Dear Hilda... Very important meeting at the docks! You have to come ASAP! Sincerely, David."

(Hilda looked at Tontu and Alfur.)

Hilda: What could be so important for David to mail a letter to me without knowing?

(Tontu and Alfur shrugged.)

Alfur: So you're going? But what if it's a set-up? What if someone's pretending to be David so that they'll do something horrible to you?!

Hilda: Don't worry, Alfur. I'm sure David knows what he's talking about. After all, he's the one that's more afraid of all the things than Frida and I.

(Alfur exhaled.)

Alfur: Okay. I'll guard the house, I guess.

Tontu: And i'll... Also guard the house too i guess.

Hilda: Okay, see you later!

(Hilda left the apartment and went straight to the docks. When she got there, she started looking for David.)

Hilda: Oh, David! Where are you?

(Then, she saw someone sitting in the dock)

Hilda: Hello?

(She walked towards the one sitting on the dock, but being very close to her, she spoke)

Lir: So, you're Hilda? I've heard about you.

Hilda: Hm? You're not David.

Lir: I'm not.

Hilda: Who are you? And what do you want from me?

Lir: Hush down, Hilda. I'm not going to hurt you.

Hilda: Give me one reason why I shouldn't call Safety Patrol on you!

(Lir sneered.)

Lir: Remember what happened two months ago? The spirit and everything?

(Hilda raised an eyebrow.)

Hilda: Yeah. Why?

(A drop of sweat dripped down Hilda's forehead.)

Lir: I need you to come with me. I have something very important to show you.

(Lir stood up. She grabbed onto Hilda's wrist.)

Hilda: Whoa. Where are we going?

Lir: Somewhere you shall not tell anyone. Or else the whole world will freak out.

(Hilda looked around her worriedly.)

Lir: Relax. Like I said, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just need you to follow me and then we'll sort it all out ourselves. It's no big deal.

Hilda: (stammering) O... okay then. But make it quick. Please! If my mum and my friends find out I've went missing, who knows what's going to happen?

Lir: It'll all be over soon.

(Hilda gulped as she and Lir walked away from the dock.)

Part 2
(Hilda and Lir entered through the alley where the passageway to Lir's hideout was located.)

Hida: Uhh, is this where we'll talk?

Lir: No.

(Lir opened a secret door that was painted with bricks to confuse passersby, and they both entered. As they walked down the stairs Hilda spoke.)

Hilda: Huh, with a reason never has ever found this passageway.

Lir: Yeah, we had to make sure that nobody ever find the secret entrance so that's why we made the door like that.

(At the top of the stairs they opened a door leading to the room where Jasper and the others were gathered.)

Lir: I've finally found her guys.

Hilda: Oh my god!

(She saw the trio, and was even more stunned to see the mariachi-hatted kappa sitting with them. But she didn't know what species he was yet.)

Hilda: Uhhhhh.... W-why is he wearing that-

Jasper: Some guys stolen his hat so we had to get him another one. That was the cheapest one we could find.

(Tak just groaned. Hilda approached him and examined him closely. But Tak didn't liked that and he just pushed her away from him)

Tak: Hey, hey! Have you never seen a Kappa before?

Hilda: A what?

Tak: A Kappa is a creature from the Japanese Folklore. Generally known as a yokai! "A gong noise played"

Hilda: Ooh. Well, now that we have all introduced ourselves-

Jasper: My name's Jasper, that's Meilly, and Miriam.

(The two girls greeted Hilda.)

Meilly: Hello!

Hilda: Yeah... Now that we all introduced ourselves, i'd like to say. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!? Why there's a Japanese Folklore in here? And why are you wearing that mask on your mouth Ms Miriam?

Miriam: It's my taste, girl

Hilda: Whatever, what's going on in here anyways, why did you guys brought me here?

Lir: Alright, calm down calm down. We'll explain you the situation. Just, take a seat and listen.

Hilda: Alright...?

(Hilda took a seat as Lir cleared her throat.)

Lir: So... I think you're wondering why you're here, right?

Hilda: Yeah...

Lir: Okay. We need your help.

Hilda: Why?

Lir: Apparently, you were chosen to save an underwater Sea Kingdom from being annihilated forever.

Hilda: I'm sorry, what?

Tak: To put it simply, she said you're the chosen one.

Hilda: The chosen one for what?

Tak: To save her home from being destroyed permanently.

(Hilda stood up.)

Hilda: Okay, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not going to help you guys because I am not doing this again! Especially since I had to save my own world from getting annihilated by a dastardly spirit. You won't believe how hard that was! So I'm outta here; good day!

(The door Hilda was about to enter was blocked off by two metal doors. Hilda was dumbfounded.)

Miriam: Too far, Lir.

Lir: Come on, she has to do this. The prophecy said so.

Hilda: Wait, did you just say "prophecy"?

Lir: Yes. The prophecy states that you would be born in such a distant future, acheiving goals that no one else could ever acheive, including saving the world from a spirit of ancient roots.

Hilda: Okay, can we stop talking about this? I really don't want to deal with this traumatic moment again.

Lir: Sorry, but it's true.

(Miriam looked at Meilly.)

Miriam: She's not gonna accept this, isn't she?

Meilly: Chill, I know she will. Look at that door over there. It's locked.

(Miriam then looked at Hilda.)

Miriam: Better do what she says Hilda! She won't let you go until you accept. You're stucked in this with us as well, you like it or not.

Jasper: She's right. Go on, you've been on many adventures in the past. Remember when you were literally kidnapped by a troll and then reunited the trolls with their mother?

Hilda: Eeeghh?!?! How did you guys knew about that adventure!? Who told you!?

Jasper: Well. You might be surprised but. We've been watching you during this whole time. Even if you didn't realized.

(So Hilda's mind became clear at that moment, and then a montage was shown where several moments from the original series and the movie were revisited, but we were shown that Lir, Jasper, Miriam, and Meilly have been spying on Hilda and her friends all along. All this they have been doing since Hilda and her mother moved to Trolberg. Since then they have been spying on her and her friends, even at times where they clearly couldn't have been like in the stone forest episode, where it is revealed that Miriam was sent to save them from there, as they needed her alive if or if, but then she watched as she and her mother and her pet managed to get out of there on their own. We were also shown that when Hilda was in the mountain transformed as a troll, they had also been spying on her, but not going to the mountain, but Miriam did the same as Frida and David did to see where Hilda was, however as she was a better witch than Frida, she did not get the spell wrong and they were able to see her during the time she was there transformed. After that set up, and after realizing the truth, Hilda simply screamed.)

Hilda: YOU'VE BEEN SPYING ME AND MY FRIENDS THIS WHOLE TIME!?

(Jasper then nodded.)

Jasper: Even if you didn't realized that we were there. We've been spying you all this whole time.

Meilly: And we sure did admire your adventures Hilda. Like, one thing is just turning your friend into a witch like Miriam, and one big thing is reuniting a bunch of trolls with their mother, who has been burried down Trolberg for like, many years. But one massive thing, one that we truly cherish the most... is literally SAVING THE WORLD, from an evil spirit on a ring. We sure watched that fight you had with him Hilda. And let me tell you, IT WAS EPIC!!

(Hilda looked away from them and then looked back.)

Hilda: How come you never told me this before?

Jasper: Our cover would've been blown, obviously. This is like spy stuff we're talkin' here!

Hilda: Okay, but that's just plain creepy! At this point, based on what you've done in the past, I think I should call Safety Patrol on you guys, because I am certainly not happy with this!

(Lir grabbed Hilda's arm.)

Lir: Don't call the Safety Patrol. Or else you will suffer the consequences.

(Tak put his hat aside and put his front paws up for combat, and Miriam's hands emitted a white glow.)

Hilda: Okay, okay. I won't call them. But please, for the love of God, don't do anything like this again!

Jasper: This is only one time. Don't worry.

Hilda: It better!

Lir: So are you willing to help us?

(Lir raised an eyebrow. Hilda looked at everyone. She exhaled.)

Hilda: Okay. I will help.

(A party blower sound played and confetti exploded from above.)

Miriam: Let's go!

Hilda: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you planned this? Even if I didn't accept the offer?

Jasper: We figured you would've accepted it, regardless if we hadn't put that door there.

(Meilly ran up to Hilda and gave her a tight hug, which Hilda was obviously not so comfortable with.)

Meilly: YOU'RE SO FLUFFY!! And CUTE!!!

Hilda: Yeah... (She looked at Jasper a bit annoyed.) Right...

(Jasper just shrugged with a smug smile and rolled his eyes.)

Hilda: So what's the plan to save this, "Sea Kingdom" you've mentioned... Can you let me go Meilly.

(Meilly looked at Hilda with a puppy-dog face.)

Meilly: Just a little more...

(Hilda simply made a very serious face, and Meilly decided to listen to her and release her from the embrace.)

Lir: Well, first things first Hilda. You're coming with us underwater.

Hilda: Wait, what?!

Tak: Don't worry. She knows how to cast an underwater spell. So you're good.

Hilda: Yeah, I'm having second thoughts about this.

Lir: Don't even think about backing out of this. We already made a deal.

Hilda: Ugh, fine. What else do you want me to do?

Lir: We'll explain more once we get there. First, get yourself prepared. We're going under soon.

Hilda: Wait, should I tell my friends about this?

Lir: That's your choice, not ours.

Hilda: Okay... Well, can i go now?

Miriam: Sure. You're free to go, but if you don't come on the day of rebellion, then we will find you and bring you there by force.

Hilda: Alright, alright! Enough with the threats! I get it! If I don't go, you'll send in lethal force.

Lir: Also, your mother does not have to know this, so-

Hilda: Yeah, i won't tell her about this...

Lir: You better not tell her.

(Hilda left the building.)

Hilda: Jeez, what jerks they are.

(We fade-transition to the ocean, where we can see an octopus roaming through the cold waters of Trolberg.)

Midgus: I can't believe some prophecy said I was one of the only ones that could save some underwater kingdom from a devious water lord. Like, why couldn't they have someone else for a start? I'm not cut out for this!

Part 3
(The scene changed showing Hilda's apartment from outside, it was nighttime.)

David: No, you can't be serious!

(Then Hilda's room came into view and a title that said "3 days later" appeared, she was putting some things in her backpack, and put on a jacket for the cold.)

Hilda: Yeah, i'm serious. They told me that i was chosen to save a underwater kingdom and stuff, which sounds ridiculous i know. But Lir told me that if i didn't help, there would be consequences later.

Alfur: Like?

Hilda: I don't know, she didn't told me the consequences, but i'm sure they're really bad. So, i called you to tell you that-

Frida: We know Hilda, you wanted us to come with you.

Hilda: Yeah... Wait what?

Frida: Do you thought that we wouldn't know that the first thing you would say is "Come with me guys. I need your help!"

David: I'm not sure if going, I have exams to do and I can't leave them. Besides, if we leave, then the others will notice.

?: No need to worry.

All: Waaah!!

(Miriam was standing on the fire escape, and she opened the window and climbed in.)

Hilda: Miriam! Wha... What are you doing here!?

David: Is this one of the guys that told you about that mission?

Miriam: Yes, who else. Anyways, i came all the way here just to tell you that- Oh. Hi Frida.

Frida: You know my name?

Miriam: Yes, you're that girl who became a witch on the time i was still studying witchcraft.

Frida: Wait. How did you knew?

Miriam: I would tell you, but that's a secret.

Hilda: This girl and her other friends have been spying us during this whole time.

Miriam: HEY!!

David: Spying us!?

Hilda: And for good reason, because they were "making sure" that everything that the prophency said would come out perfectly.

Miriam: UGH, i should kill you right now. But, that would be a error. So i will contain my anger.

Hilda: Whatever dude, i was getting prepared to leave, but then Frida and David said that they wanted to come as well.

David: I never said anything!

Miriam: Well lucky they said it, because Lir said that they also had a part on her story. I mean, Frida clearly is a witch, so she would be useful, who knows. And David... Uhhhh, he's a fast counter apparently?

(David made a shocked face when he heard that she knew he was a fast counter.)

Hilda: Anyways, i don't know if it's a good idea to leave, since as David said, our parents would realize that we were missing, and they would look for us desperately. For my luck, my mum said that she wouldn't be in the house, since she wouldbe out of town to attend a very important meeting in Oslo. So, i guess she will return in a few days.

Miriam: That's good. Now, to make sure that your parents don't suspect that you leaved the town to go into the ocean. Hmmmm..

(She whispered in Frida and David's ears.)

Frida: Lying to them?

Miriam: I mean, what else can we do? Make clones of you two so they don't suspect anything? Is that even possible Frida?

Frida: No, i don't know if there's a spell for that.

David: Wait! What about Alex?

Miriam: Who?

Hilda: Oh, so you probably don't know about this. Alex was someone we worked with to destroy that spirit. Don't know what he's up to right now, though.

Miriam: So you're gonna bring him?

Hilda: Umm...

(Hilda took some time for herself to think.)

Hilda: Nah. I think he's too busy.

David & Frida: Hilda!

Hilda: Alright, we'll bring him too.

Miriam: Good. I've also decided to bring someone else.

Hilda: Who?

Miriam: Do you kids know the librarian of the library?

Frida: Kaisa?

Miriam: Yeah, that one.

(They remain in silence.)

Frida: Did you just told her about this situation?

Miriam: Yeah. She used to be an old friend of mine, before they took me out after i tried to explain them the situation. It would be nice to spend some time with your friend you know?

Frida: Ah... She never told me about you.

Miriam: Anyways. in 2 two hours you'll come with us, so we can start our mission.

Hilda: Yeah, sure that's why i was packing my stuff before leaving. You guys wanna come too?

Alfur: As much that i'd like to be part of this adventure, someone needs to take care of the house.

Tontu: Yeah. Sorry, we can't go.

(Twig whined.)

Miriam: Understandable reasons. Well, i'll be retiring now. (She opened the window and exited the room through it, then closed it. Before leaving she said to Hilda and company.) Remember! Two hours before we leave. Better go get that Alex guy in time!

(Then she went down the fire escape.)

Hilda: Well, i think we should get going.

Frida: Wait. I need some answers! You guys go get him, i'll talk with Kaisa, and probably bring her with us too.

Hilda: Okay. Come on let's go David.

David: Okay...

(We fade to a shop known as "Alex's Treasury Pawnshop". Then we cut to Alex's apartment just a story above.)

Alex: So that's what we're doing now? Heading underwater? Jeez, so much has happened ever since.

Hilda: Yeah. We might need you along the way.

Alex: Sorry, guys, but I'm supposed to be meeting my cousin Xavier tonight. We've got a lot of stuff to do in this shop.

David: Your cousin?

Alex: It's a lot to explain.

Hilda: Please, Alex! We've defeated the ring before, we can do this again!

Alex: Nope. I'm sorry.

(Then, Hilda made an adorable expression on her face to convince Alex to come.)

Alex: Making that adorable expression won't work.

(Then, David decided to join too and make an adorable expression with Hilda as well. Alex stuttered and groaned.)

Alex: Okay! Fine. I suppose I could delay my meet with Xavier later, I guess.

David: Great!

Alex: So when are we going?

Hilda: Two hours.

Alex: Two hours?! Oh my gosh, no wonder you guys want me to come with you so badly.

Hilda: Well, that's when we have to meet at the dock. The guys in charge said so.

Alex: That's okay. I'll come.

(A few minutes passed. Hilda and David left the shop.)

David: Hopefully he knows what to do.

Hilda: Believe me, he will.

David: I wonder if Frida is already convicing Kaisa to come.

Hilda: Well, she said that she wanted answers, maybe she means that she wants to know more about when Miriam and her were friends.

Part 4
(Then the scene shifted to the bookstore, where Frida and Kaisa were chatting, while Kaisa arranged some books.)

Kaisa: Ah, so she told you about me?

Frida: Yeah. So i came to ask you more about her. You're her old friend right?

Kaisa: Well, not exactly. While we were friends, we were, let's just say, more than just friends.

Frida: Huh?

(Cut to a flashback in the style of drawn-like sequences.)

Kaisa: Long before you came to Trolberg, Miriam and I had a great bond between us. We've always assisted Tildy when she was in the library. That, and do a lot of work here. It was great having one another by our side.

Frida: Then what happened?

Kaisa: Well, some bizarre antics happened. She began acting strange and everything, saying things like "A world of water will devour a kingdom underneath!" and stuff. So we took her out of the library and making sure she doesn't come back until she's all behaved.

Frida: Oh...

Kaisa: Obviously, I didn't believe it at first, but when you came here for the first time, I knew what she was talking about. It seems like what she was saying was true! And I didn't listen to her.

(The sequence ends.)

Kaisa: And that's the end of it.

Frida: How come you never told me any of this?

Kaisa: I decided to move on with life and focus on the present.

Frida: Yeah, I could see that.

Kaisa: Anyways, when are we going?

Frida: She said two hours at best.

Kaisa: Isn't that a bit too early?

(Frida shrugged.)

Frida: I don't know, it's what she said.

Kaisa: Alright. Where are we meeting?

Frida: The dock.

Kaisa: Okay then. I'll be there.

Frida: Great! See you in two hours!

Kaisa: Farewell for now.

(Frida and Kaisa gave each other a hug before Frida left. Outside the bookstore, Frida began to think about what she could say to her parents before leaving with the others.)

Frida: Okay, what should i tell them... Hmmm. Shfff, i don't know if this is gonna work out buuut, i don't have any other option.

(She went to her apartment, when she entered she saw her parents watching tv on the couch.)

Frida: Hey mum, hey dad!

Frida's Mum: Hi sweet heart!

Frida's Dad: What do you want?

Frida: Well, i came to tell you something. Something, important.

Frida's Mum: Yeah?

(She took a sigh and began to tell her parents.)

Frida: I'm going on a field trip tomorrow.

Frida's Mum: Hm?

Frida's Dad: What?

Frida: Yes, I said it. I'm going on a one-week field trip tomorrow.

Frida's Dad: How come you told us just now?

Frida: It was a last minute decision by the teacher. We have to pack our stuff now.

Frida's Mum: Okay. But make sure you double-check your stuff before you go. We don't want you to lose anything.

Frida: I know what to do, Mum.

(Frida went upstairs to her bedroom.)

Frida: Alright, gotta prepare everything for the trip.

(The scene shifted to the apartment where David gave her the same fake news of that week-long excursion. David was preparing everything for the trip, stuffing what he could into his backpack.)

David: This might be the stuff i need. Oh boy, based on how this is going, i think we're going to another country like last time...

(Then the scene shifted to Hilda's apartment, where she was leaving a letter for her mother, so that when she returned she wouldn't be upset.)

Hilda: There we go...

Alfur: Are you sure you want to do this Hilda? I mean, what if you and your friends don't come back alive.

Hilda: Of course we will, you can count on that!

Tontu: I mean, i know you and your friends tend to have somewhat risky adventures, and also you saved the world from an evil ring spirit. But all of this is so sudden. I don't think this would be a good idea.

Hilda: I know, but. You know i don't have any other choice guys.

Tontu: Yeah...

Alfur: Just, please becareful out there. Me and Tontu will take care of the house while you're gone.

Hilda: Alright, thank you guys.

(Hilda opened her bedroom window, and climbed out. Then she closed it, and before leaving, she turned around to watch the Alfur and Tontu say goodbye to her.)

Hilda: Goodbye guys.

(Then she went down the fire stairs and went to the dock. Then the scene focused inside the room, where Twig was sad that Hilda was leaving without him.)

Tontu: Ummm, shouldn't we let Twig go with her?

(Out of nowhere Twig ran to the window, and tried to open it by hitting it with his paws.)

Alfur: We can't. It's too dangerous out there for him.

(Tontu and Alfur kept the window closed, all while Twig scratched the glass.)

Part 5
(Night fell. Lir, Tak, Jasper, Meilly, Miriam, Alex, and Kaisa were all at the dock.)

Miriam: What's taking them so long?

Meilly: Chill, they're coming!

Alex: If they don't come here in the next 15 seconds, then salute to you all.

(Then, Hilda, Frida, and David popped in.)

Lir: Just about time.

Hilda: Sorry, David had some trouble on some wet cement on the way here.

(Pan down to show David's shoes marked with wet cement.)

David: They didn't add a wet cement sign there.

Tak: Okay...

(Frida spotted Tak.)

Frida: Okay, to get the elephant out of the room here, who and what the heck is that?

Tak: I'm Tak, a Kappa of Japanese folklore.

(A bong noise played a second time.)

Frida: Where did that sound come from?

David: Alright, why are you here?

Tak: I'm part of the prophecy of saving the kingdom from certain destruction.

David: Okay, you seem to be the weirdest creature I've ever met. No offense.

Tak: None taken.

Kaisa: Well, since you guys are already here, i suppose we can go now?

Lir: Sure.

Alex: So, how are we gonna travel the ocean? Ridding a Water Spirit, I suppose?

Lir: Nope. Everyone, please step back.

Hilda: Something tells me that we're about to witness something incredible. Right?

Tak: Wait for it.

(For a few seconds, the air filled with silence. Then, with a sudden ripple, out of the water came a maroon sea creature.)

Hilda: What in the world...?

Lir: Hilda. Say hello to my little friend.

David: Little friend? He's kinda huge!

Lir: I know, heh.

(The maroon sea creature then licked Lir, and caressed him.)

Tak: Yeah, i was surprised like you the first time i've saw this thing. Lir calls him "Godium"

Lir: That's the name i gave him, he didn't have a name.

Tak: Uh huh yeah sure.

Lir: You're still mad because of your hat?

(Tak simply grunted, and that was more than enough to make Lir and the others understand that he still was.)

Jasper: Look i'm sorry, okay!? It's not my fault that we couldn't stop those little brats from taking your hat. They were too fast.

Hilda: So, Lir, how did you and that creature meet?

Lir: It's a long story, but I'll shorten it. Basically, when I was exploring the oceans of the world, I spotted this guy under a cave near Greece. He seemed scared, so I told him that it's all just a normal day in the seas. And that was when we made a bond together.

Hilda: Greece, you say?

Lir: Yep. Long way from here.

David: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go to wherever we're going with that creature.

Lir: As you wish kid. Now let's move!

Frida: So are we gonna ride that thing, or we literally have to get inside of him by let ourselves getting eaten alive?

(Everyone remain silent.)

Frida: You know, like that fish creature that we've ride when we were on that mission of finding that book when we-

Kaisa: Yeah yeah we all know Frida.

Tak: Not all of us.

Jasper, Meilly, and Miriam: Yeah.

Kaisa: It's an extremely long story, you guys. I'll explain later.

(Tak rose an eyebrow.)

Tak: Yeah...

Lir: Well, there's no pocket for you to hide into, so our best option is going inside the mouth.

Frida: Oh, so we are going inside that thing. Just when I thought I could get comfortable with this.

Lir: This adventure isn't gonna get comfortable. It's gonna be deadly.

David: Deadly?!

Lir: I know you're careful and everything. So I doubt you'd fail on this.

David: Oh cruddlesticks...

Lir: Cruddlesticks?

David: N-nevermind, i guess we can handle this. Right Hilda?

Hilda: Hmmph...

Lir: Well what are we waiting for? Your biggest adventure is up ahead!

(They all walked toward Godium's mouth, and Alex said.)

Alex: This, is the weirdest thing i've done so far. Getting inside of the mouth from this... Thing.

Lir: Oh come on, Alex it could be worse you know?

(When everyone got in, Godium zeroed his mouth and jumped into the water, heading towards the place where they would go. Then the scene faded to black, and the camera went down the dark ocean, and the Sea Kingdom was seen, it had landed on the ocean floor 50 years ago, the place was a disaster, almost the entire kingdom was in ruins, and there were not many people, since during the time that several of the inhabitants could not go on in that dying kingdom, so they decided to leave to find a new home to live. Inside the queen's castle, things were no better, since the place was dark, and there was no one around, the camera moved to the queen Lily's throne room. She was seen sad, caressing her butler Pil, who was somewhat depressed by everything that had happened these years.)

Queen Lily: There there. It's not your fault that your family couldn't survive that accident.

Pil: If only i was there to save them. Those creatures from Lord Leif had been attacking us even more ever since they've took the kingdom's heart. They just don't stop coming.

Queen Lily: Shhh. It's okay, we'll come out of this. I just hope Marin and Akkwa were saying the true about their daughter bringing those heroes.

Guard: Your majesty!

(One of the few guards remaining in the kingdom came to warn her queen about something.)

Guard: They're coming!

Queen Lily: Oh no, not again...

Pil: Lord Leif's creatures?

Guard: YEAH!!!

(Cut to the exterior of the Sea Kingdom, where a submarine-like vehicle approached the castle.)

Lord Leif: Minions! Seize the queen!

(The creatures swam faster than ever to the kingdom. Queen Lily looked out one of the open gaps of the castle.)

Queen Lily: Oh, that's not good.

Pil: What are we going to do?

Queen Lily: Use every last resource you have to destroying them. We cannot have the kingdom bow to its knees now.

Pil: Yes, Your Majesty.

(Pil left the Queen alone and went to the underground systems of the kingdom. Several soldiers were there.)

Pil: Under command of Her Majesty, you all need to use every last resource you could possibly use to defeat the creatures approaching the kingdom.

Soldiers: Yes, Master Pil!

Pil: Hm. I like that nickname.

(A door lowered, exposing the soldiers out in the ocean floor.)

Soldier #1: You ready?

Soldier #2: Yeah. Let's do it.

(The soldiers went out to fight the beasts. One of them crossed over the screen, causing the scene to change, into the mouth of Godium, where they were all waiting to reach their destination.)

David: So uh. Lir, where we exactly heading?

Lir: If we want to defeat that evil lord, we first need to come prepared.

David: Okay?

Lir: Now first off, do any of you have any experience staying underwater for prolonged periods of time?

Frida: Nope.

David: Me neither.

Alex: I'm with them.

Jasper, Meilly, & Miriam: Us too.

(Lir facepalmed upon hearing the answers of the group.)

Lir: You're all as dead as a fly in the Sahara Desert.

David: But can't you make a spell for us to breathe underwater?

Lir: I could, but it's very hard for me to learn.

Hilda: I do.

(Lir looked at Hilda.)

Lir: You could?

Hilda: Yeah. You see. When i used to live in the wilderness with my mum, i used to go swimming in the catfish pool near our house. I remember every summer, I would practice by diving down to the bottom of the pool, and try to hold my breath for as long as possible.

Lir: I see. Well, everyone, we have someone here other than Tak and I who could stay underwater for a long while.

Tak: No way Lir! We need the others to know how to hold their breath for a long time too.

Jasper: And what's your idea, eh-

Tak: I'm gonna teach you how to hold your breath for longer times.

Jasper: Yep. Teach us how to hold our breaths for longer times, that's exactly what i was going to say.

(He leaned over to Meilly and whispered.)

Jasper: I guess we're gonna have some rough time training, eh?

Meilly: Yeah.

Tak: Your trainings will start. After we arrive to our destination.

Hilda: Where we're going anyways?

Lir: We can't go to the Sea Kingdom now, we need some stuff before going. Like having you to be able to stay underwater for prolonged periods of times, which is something that i didn't add on the list, it was Tak's idea. But i guess its good idea training your breath holding skills anyways. (She approached the others and spoke.) Here's the plan everyone:

(Cut to a montage in the style of cartoon-like sequences.)

Lir: The first step of the plan is simple: First we will go to an island just off the coast of Western Europe, where one of the three powerful crystals of the seven oceans is located. This island however, is inhabited by Lord Leif's creatures, and they have turned it into a kind of... Giant, fast food factory? I don't know what the heck it is, but it doesn't matter.

(Everyone looked at each other in confusion.)

Lir: This place is usually being run by Fuchokti, a kind of monster that is half hermit crab and half jellyfish. I swear this guy is very uncomfortable to look at, especially because of his face. Eugh.

David: Sounds like a scary guy huh?

Lir: You have no idea... Anyways, not only we need the crystals for our mission, but i'll get to that in a moment. *Clearing throat* Second step: Once we get that, we're going to Egypt, where the second crystal is located in the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Hilda: There?

Lir: Yes. The entire place is ancient, but knowing you, it shouldn't be a problem. Anyways, our third and final step: The last crystal is in East America, located in the dark, wooded areas of the Pinelands.

Jasper: So, what's with the, "Not only we need the crystals for the mission?"

Lir: Oh right, about that.

(Lir cleared her throat.)

Lir: There is also a time-loop device in Iceland that rewinds time by 10 seconds and then repeat the cycle again.

Hilda: And why exactly do we need that?

Lir: Because there are minions in the kingdom surrounding it. If we can find a way to bring all of them at once, we could throw the device at them, and it shall repeat it again.

(David awed.)

David: How come we never heard of any of these?

Lir: All of them have never been discovered by any human throughout the planet's history, and since I'm a Water Witch, I'm basically one of the only creatures in this whole entire universe who have atleast some knowledge of them.

Frida: So, where we're heading first?

Lir: To the factory, of course. With one of those powerful crystals we can use it for our good.

Miriam: So, how far it is?

Lir: Let me ask Godium if we're close.

(She made some kind of weird noise to Godium, and he moved to the surface, and when he was there, he opened his gob, showing the island in the distance)

Jasper: Ehhh...

Hilda: I see it!

David: So. Do you have a plan once we get there?

Lir: Trust me. I came prepared for everything in our journey, so i have a plan for every place we go.

David: Whatever you say boss girl.

(Then the camera zoomed out as Godium went towards the island, then the camera moved directly towards the island where it showed that much of the island was part of a giant fast food factory. Where food was made from sea creatures, both normal ones and supernatural ones like salt lions, and even one of them was seen carrying a dying kraken pup. The camera moved to one of the windows and showed a creature half hermit crab and half jellyfish walking to some creatures that had prepared a dish that was waiting to be approved by him. It grabbed the dish and devoured it whole, and he just said.)

Fuchokti: It's decent. But it could be better. But i guess people will like it. Approved.

Creature: Thanks Mr. Fuchokti...

(The creatures left, and he simply went off to attend to something else.)

Part 6
(Back in the Sea Kingdom, warriors fought against Lord Leif's creatures.)

Soldier #1: Don't hold back! They mustn't reach the gates of the kingdom!

Soldier #2: We're trying! They seem to be overpowered! We can't do this all day!

Soldier #3: He's right, sir! There's too many of them! It'll be impossible to clear all of them out! Whoa-

(A creature knocks Soldier #3 down to the ground.)

Soldier #1: Well, count me sideways. This has to be the worst fighting the Sea Kingdom has ever witnessed in its four centuries of existence.

(Cut to the Sea Kingdom, where Pil walked over to Queen Lily.)

Queen Lily: What's going on, Pil?

Pil: Your Majesty, the army's getting too overwhelmed!

Queen Lily: What?

Pil: A sixth of our army has been taken down!

(Queen Lily was silent upon hearing that news. Then, she looked out the window, where she could see Lord Leif's ship.)

Queen Lily: If only we had acted sooner...

(Back with the heroes, they had already reached the island, and were coming out of Godium's mouth, and he went back into the water. Lir made sure that there was no one on the shore, and she said to them.)

Lir: Alright guys, you stay here, while Hilda, Frida, Kaisa, Miriam, and i go get the crystal.

Tak: And in the meantime i will train the others so that they can stay underwater for a long time.

Lir: Yeah sure why not? Alright girls let's go.

Kaisa: Why did you choose us?

Lir: Because my plan requires witches to be executed well.

(As they started up the stairs, Tak turned to look at the others.)

Jasper: You know, knowing that we would ever do this. We could had bring some swimsuits.

Tak: That's not necessary boy. Alright gang, let's do this!

(Back with Lir and the girls, they went up the stairs and came to a square, where there were some people who were human, walking around, Lir put on her jacket and hooded herself so they wouldn't notice that she was a water witch.)

Hilda: There's actually people here?

Lir: These people aren't normal, they've been under the control of Fuchokti ever since Lord Leif has defeated the Sea Kingdom.

(Cut to a flashback.)

Lir: After successively accomplishing his task, and to make sure that no one would steal the crystals, he guarded them in the locations I mentioned, and ordered his three guards to protect them from any naïve person who thought he was a "hero". But it seems that Fuchokti, became so obsessed with the power of the crystal that he decided to use it to rule this island and turn it into a fast food factory. The problem is that this island was actually a luxurious paradise, which they ended up industrializing in a very excessive way. All the inhabitants you see here are not happy with the change. If we remove the crystal from the core of the factory, we could stop production and free these people from this evil entity.

Miriam: And where is it located?

Lir: Deep down the factory. (She approaches Hilda and hands her a sword.) If we have to fight, you know what to do.

(She winked at Hilda, to which Hilda put a smile on her face. They walked straight to the factory door, and entered. When they were inside, the place looked quite elegant, with an industrial touch, and there was a welcome mat. As they walked through the place, Kaisa and Miriam began to talk.)

Kaisa: So, hey. I guess, i think I should apologize for not listening to you when you warned us all at the Witch Tower about the coming danger. I hope we can still be friends Miriam.

Miriam: Hey come on, you know that i'll always be there for you. I've told you that before in the past.

Kaisa: Yeah.

(Then there was a montage of them walking through the factory, looking for an elevator to take them deep into the factory, but Lir stopped.)

Lir: Stop.

Hilda, Frida, Kaisa, Miriam: Huh?

Lir: I feel the presence of the crystal, let's go down that elevator.

(They a elevator and dialed it, but when it arrived, Fuchokti was in it. And he was surprised to see them.)

Fuchokti: Hey what the?

(The girls were frightened by her physical appearance, and Frida was about to faint but resisted it.)

Lir: Uhhhh....

Hilda: Hi. Uhh, we were just, going to ask for some of the food in here. Shall we?

Fuchokti: Uhh. Sure! Here in "Fuchokti's Fast Food INC" we make the best food made with any marine animal, be it fish, crabs, squids, and also salt lions. Who wants to come with me and see how de food is made here?

Girls: Ehhh, uhhh...

Hilda: I do! They're just going to the second floor.

(She winked at the others. Lir gave her a thumbs up.)

Fuchokti: Alright, follow me girl. This way!

(As Fuchokti and Hilda left, Lir and the others entered the elevator and dialed the lowest floor of the factory, the subway complex. And the elevator came down with them in it.)

Frida: I don't have a good feeling about this... Also, you were right about Fuchokti's appearence. Eugh...

Lir: Yep.

(Meanwhile with Hilda and Fuchokti, they were strolling throught the factory.)

Hilda: So, Fuchokti, you don't mind asking me this question?

Fuchokti: Sure! I'm open to suggestions! What's up?

Hilda: Do you have anything suitable for a... vegetarian?

(Fuchokti had a blank expression on his face upon hearing that and then he burst out laughing.)

Fuchokti: Vegetarian? Girl, why do you think my company is called "Fuchokti's Fast Food, Inc.", eh?

Hidla: I'm just asking. Plus, there are some fast food restaurants with much more healthier options.

Fuchokti: Well, we're still a work in progress, so we don't have a lot of stuff completed yet. But once we do, our food will be so gourmet that you will start watering your mouth!

(Hilda rolled her eyes. Back with the others at the elevator.)

Lir: Well, here we are, gang!

(The elevator reached the bottom of the factory, with a subway passing through the station at a high speed.)

Frida: This place looks way ahead of its time!

Lir: Yep. The crystal must be very close. I can feel it.

Kaisa: How can you feel the presence of the crystal anyways?

Lir: I once enchanted a wristband to track something whenever it had the chance.

Kaisa: How exactly?

Lir: It was a long time ago. Unfortunately, I don't remember how to do that anymore.

Kaisa: Okay, maybe after getting this crystal you can see how to do it again.

Lir: Probably.

(Back with Hilda and Fuchokti.)

Fuchokti: As you can see. My loyal employees usually go looking for the juiciest sea creatures in the ocean, and when they get them, well...

(Creatures are seen throwing fish and salmon onto a conveyor belt, and they enter a machine where, through the shadows, they are cut into pieces, crushed and cooked. This frightened Hilda.)

Hilda: Well, that's macabre...

Fuchokti: Excuse me?

Hilda: Huh? Did i said something ba-

Fuchokti: Listen kid, we make our food as we please, we don't care how macabre the process is or how horrible the way the creatures die. We only care that our food is sold.

Hilda: And who do you sell it to?

(Fuchokti remained silent.)

Fuchokti: Anyways. Follow me!

(As he walked away from the camera, Hilda just looked at the camera nervious and just shrugged. Back with Lir and the others, they were going deep into that subterranean.)

Lir: I feel like we're close.

Frida: Girls? What's that noise i'm hearing?

(They turned around and were ambushed by red and black monsters, one of which roared in the witches' faces, causing them to run away.)

Lir: Dang it. I should have known that there would be monsters in here.

Kaisa: What are those things?

Lir: I don't know, those are the monsters from Lord Leif. Maybe Fuchokti hired them as the guardians of this place.

Miriam: We should fight them!

Lir: No, look! The Crystal, it's in that room!

(They entered the room and closed the door. There they saw it, it was the first powerful crystal.)

Lir: There it is.

(As Lir took a few steps toward the crystal-possessing core, an alarm sounded. From the ceiling a hatch opened from which a steam-powered robot dropped down, intercepting them.)

Lir: Well girls, this is it. Let's test your witch-fighting skills.

Frida: Uhhh, how about this. You distract him, i'll go get the crystal.

Lir: Umm, sure. Come on girls, let's do this!

(And so, the four girls split up. Lir, Miriam, and Kaisa used spells to combat the robot, while Frida leaped the gap and climbed on the steps.)

Frida: Oh my, for such a place underwater, this sure is high! Whoa!

(Frida nearly slips into the vast darkness below after slipping on the wet metal of the shield.)

Frida: Oh dear. Good thing I had a Sparrow Scout badge for climbing.

Lir: How far are you, Frida?

Frida: Not much!

(With a swipe, Frida managed to grab the crystal.)

Frida: Ha ha! YES! Guh? Woah!!

(The robot had realized that Frida was trying to steal the crystal, so it tried to grab her and throw her out of the core, but Frida held on to the crystal with both hands, this caused the cables and other wires that grabbed the crystal's energy to stretch out of place, and when the cables were stretched to their maximum point, they came out one by one. This caused a huge power drop throughout the factory, and when the last wire broke, there was a huge short circuit in the core, causing it to shake, shoot sparks everywhere, and finally from where the crystal was, it exploded. After that, everything went dark. Meanwhile with Hilda, she was glad that the girls had succeeded. But Fuchokti was furious with the situation.)

Fuchokti: GRR, what happened? Did someone stolen the crystal or what? Kid. Are you still there? Kid?

(She realized that Hilda was gone.)

Fuchokti: Dognit!! I should have known she would tell her friends to go steal what is mine. But this isn't gonna end this way!

(He went straight to an emergency button, and pressed it. Causing the emergency power to activate. Lir and the others were helping to lift Frida, who was unconscious after falling with the robot.)

Lir: Quick, let's get out of here!

(They checked that the red and black monsters were not around, and when they did not see them, they opened the door and left the room. But what they did not realize was that the robot was still active, and when it saw that they were leaving the place, it roared. Kaisa turned around and saw how the robot began to get up, and simply continued running in a hurry, to the elevator with the others. They started to make their way to the main floor, and when the door closed, from the glass they saw the robot poking its eye out and looking at the witches who were shocked that it was still active. Then the elevator went up. When it reached the main floor, they left quickly, but saw how the Fuchokti employees came out to chase them, so they ran with all their strength, on the way they found Hilda who joined the chase.)

Hilda: So... Do you have it?

Lir: Yeah! But Frida got unconscious after falling with the robot.

Hilda: What robot?

(A tremor was felt, and the robot's arm came out of the ground destroying it with a punch, and then it emerged from the hole it formed, destroying even more the ground due to its enormous size.)

Lir: That robot!

Hilda: Holly golly, he's so big eh?

Kaisa: Come on Frida, wake up!

(After that, a song called "Insert a song here" was played as the chase progressed.)

Hilda: Shoot. He's too big! What are we gonna do?

Lir: I'll distract him. You guys get out of here. (knuckles crack) This is gonna get messy.

Hilda: Okay, thanks!

(With a grip and a pull, Hilda and Kaisa carried Frida's body, with Miriam following them. Lir stayed behind and casted spells to slow down the robot.)

Lir: So, you want to play a little game, huh? Well, chew on this for your size!

(Lir made a spell that penetrated the left arm of the robot with ice.)

Lir: Oh, yeah. You like that?

(The robot hurled his arm on Lir, but Lir dodges it.)

Hilda: Jeez, how strong is she?

Kaisa: Not enough time!

(Hilda, Kaisa, and Miriam left the room, all while Lir stayed behind. Meanwhile outside, David, Jasper, Meilly, Tak, and Alex were inside Godium's mouth.)

David: Ugh, I'm boreeed...

Meilly: Can we back to the water and try holding our breaths?

Tak: No. Take your time, guys. It shouldn't be long.

(Then, something tapped on Godium's mouth, and Godium spit them out. Out was an octopus.)

Midgus: What am I missing here?

David: A... A talking octopus?

Midgus: Yeah. So?

(David just fainted. Back with the others, Hilda, Kaisa, and Miriam finally got out.)

Hilda: Did we lose 'em?

Miriam: I think we did.

(Frida coughed.)

Hilda: Oh!

(Hilda and Kaisa placed Frida's body down. Frida got up.)

Frida: What did I miss?

Hilda: Not a lot.

(There was a tremor, and Lir came out of there as well.)

Lir: Everyone. I don't mean to worry ya. RUN!!!

(The robot knocked down the factory entrance creating a big hole in the process, and at the same time that happened, the song "Insert a song here" started playing again.)

Hilda: You heard the girl!

(They all began to run frantically in a chase in which not only the robot chased them but also the creatures from the factory joined them, as well as the red and black monsters that appeared in the subway. Fuchokti seeing that they were escaping, grabbed a harpoon, jumped from one of the windows and hung from one of the pipes, he took aim, and threw the harpoon straight at Hilda, but luckily she realized the harpoon coming towards her and dodged it in time, he was angry to see this, and jumped from one of the pipes in which he was hanging and fell on the ground right near a barrel full of harpoons, to which he smiled. Meanwhile Hilda and the others were still running, and managed to narrowly dodge a harpoon that was thrown by Fuchokti, who was totally crazy throwing all the harpoons from the barrel straight at her. Anyway, she was the one who distracted him so that her friends could steal what was his.)

Hilda: Sheesh, simmer down with the harpoons freak!

Fuchokti: How dare you to come and steal the core of my whole factory? YOU THIEVES!!

(He violently threw a spear at Hilda, who narrowly dodged it, and the spear hit a bouquet of flowers from a person who was going to give it to a girl, making him sad. Fuchokti was embarrassed by this and simply continued on his way before they realized it was him. Hilda and company went down the stairs that led to the shore where the others were.)

Lir: We're close to our exit.

(She saw that the others were on the shore, with an octopus, she realized who it was. When she got to the shore, she went straight to the octopus and spoke to him.)

Lir: Midgus?

Midgus: Ah, so you were expecting to see me? I thought about it, if it was a good idea to come with you and help you with your mission. And finally decided that i would he-

Lir: Yeah, yeah good to have you in our team. Come on let's get in, before they catch us.

Kaisa: They're coming!!

(They saw them all coming down the stairs, while the robot was watching them from above, preparing to jump down and crush them.)

Lir: Shoot. Godium, let's get out of here. Open your mouth!

(Godium opened his mouth and everyone got in.)

Lir: Midgus, get in now!

Midgus: I'm an octopus, so I'll be fine!

Lir: This robot is waterproof, so you'll be torn to pieces if you don't get in now!

Everyone except Lir and Midgus: AAAAAAH!!!

(They all watched as the robot began to jump down from above to crush them.)

Midgus: Alright, fine!

(Midgus got inside Godium's mouth and Godium dove underwater before the robot could crush them, moving away from the island as fast as he could.)

Fuchotski: Damn it! This calls for desperate measures!

(Back in Godium's mouth...)

Hilda: So who is this octopus?

Midgus: I'm Midgus, nice to meet you.

Hilda: Care to tell us what you are?

Midgus: Well, my story is a kinda long, but to make a long story short, I used to be a human, but I was cursed by a witch who turned me into an octopus. Ironical eh?

Hilda: Yeah, kinda.

Meilly: Do you remember who was the witch that cursed you?

Midgus: I don't remember her that much, all i remember is that she used to wear two hats, for some reason. And also, she had crow pet, that for some reason could talk.

Hilda: A crow that could talk. Hmmm, i wish we brought the Great Raven here too.

Lir: Who?

Hilda: I'll explain you later. Anyways now where we're heading?

Lir: We're near Europe, so our best bet is Greece.

David: Greece?

Lir: The one in the Mediterranean. But don't worry, it shouldn't take long. It only takes a few steps.

Alex: As in...?

Lir: Five steps.

Alex: Okay.

Hilda: Hey Lir, how did you meet Jasper Meilly and Miriam? And also Tak.

Lir: Oh. Yeah, i think i've forgot to explain that part. Well, everyone sit down.

(They all sat down.)

Lir: Well, it all started when i first found Trolberg. I think it was when i was still kinda young.

Jasper: To be exact, 10 years ago.

Lir: Yeah, I think that was when I met them.

(Fade-transition to a flashback.)

Lir: When I reached Trolberg, it was dark and cold. I couldn't navigate myself around the big city, so all I had to do was find shelter. But there weren't any. So I had to sit there out in the streets, alone.

Jasper: Until Meilly and I found you.

Jasper in the flashback: Hey, are you okay?

Lir in the flashback: Huh?

(On the time Jasper and Meilly found her, they haven't meet Miriam yet, so it was only him and Meilly.)

Meilly in the flashback: What is a little girl like you doing in the streets at this dark and rainy day?

(Lir turned away.)

Jasper in the flashback: Hm? What's wrong?

(Lir scootched away from them.)

Jasper in the flashback: Hey, you can tell us anything.

(Lir looked at them.)

Meilly in the flashback: Come on! We're all friends here!

(Lir's eyes glistened. Then, she got up.)

Jasper in the flashback: What are you doing?

(Lir used her hands to conduct a spell, which created a brief beam of light that shot in the sky.)

Meilly in the flashback: What was that...?

Jasper in the flasback: You're a witch?

(Lir nodded.)

Jasper in the flashback: That's... That's cool!

(Lir raised an eyebrow.)

Jasper in the flashback: It's okay if you're a witch, we don't mind. We like magic stuff.

Meilly in the flashback: I've always wish to become a real witch one day.

Hilda: You do?

(The music stopped, and we returned to the present for a moment. Meilly looked at Hilda who was confused, and she said.)

Meilly: Witchcrafting it's cool, okay? I've always wanted to try it.

(Hilda just shrugged. And we returned to the flashback.)

Jasper in the flashback: But you still haven't answered our question though. What are you doing here?

(Lir conducted a spell that displayed what had happened in the past: Far north of Trolberg, the Sea Kingdom was destroyed by a lord known as "Lord Leif", and that she is one of the chosen ones who could stop him.)

Meilly in the flashback: Whoa. That all happened 50 years ago?

(Lir nodded.)

Jasper in the flashback: Wait. If that happened 50 years ago, how are you still young?

(Lir conducted another spell, which said "Time difference".)

Jasper in the flashback: Can you speak to us, and not just explain it through spells?

Meilly in the flashback: Jasper! Easy on the girl!

Jasper in the flashback: What? It's not my fault she's mute!

Lir in the flashback: No, it's alright. I've never met humans like you before.

Jasper in the flashback: Oh. Well, now that we know you can speak, what's your name:

Lir in the flashback: (whispering) Lir.

(The flashback ends.)

Lir: And since then, they've taken care of me. Like my... My...

(She began to sob.)

Jasper: Lir!

Lir: I'm fine, i'm just. I haven't thought about my parents during this whole time. Hope they're fine.

Meilly: Don't worry, i'm sure they're still alive. We'll save them, i promise.

(Jasper and Meilly sat next to Lir and nuzzled her. And she smiled)

David: Aww...

Miriam: Yep, they pretty much became Lir's adoptive parents from that day on.

Hilda: So, how did you guys meet Miriam later on?

Miriam: Well...

(Fade to another flashback.)

Miriam: I moved to Trolberg not too long ago when I saw Jasper, Meilly, and Lir at the pier. They seemed to be having fun. In fact, when I saw Lir perform a spell, it reminded me of myself, since I was a witch at the time. So this prompted me to do this.

(In the flashback, Miriam performed a spell that controlled the water, catching everyone's attention. Everyone, including Jasper, Meilly, and Lir, gasped.)

Miriam in the flashback: Ladies and gentlemen! Bow down to the witch of the North!

Jasper in the flashback: "Witch of the North"?

Lir in the flashback: Think we should talk to her?

Jasper in the flashback: Yeah, we probably shall. She might make a great addition to our group.

Lir in the flashback: Ummm, that might be true. Let's go talk with her.

(They approached Miriam.)

Jasper in the flashback: Hey there. Who-

Miriam in the flashback: Name's Miriam, honey.

Jasper in the flashback: Yeah. That was a cool magic performance with the water. Got any other ones?

Miriam in the flashback: Huhuhuh... Check this out!

(With a glow coming from the water, Miriam's magic went across the dock, making everyone gasp.)

Jasper in the flashback: Holy crud. Where the heck did you even learn that?

Miriam in the flashback: Witch's Tower.

Lir in the flashback: Oh, do ya?

(This part of the flashback ends.)

Miriam: Basically after we met, we started hanging out very often, heck, i even remember that on one occasion I cast a spell using water to form a huge water bubble, from which we went swimming, it was fun. And in a very short time, we formed a friendship, which ended up turning us into the trio that we are.

Hilda: Yeah, i can see that you guys are very close.

David: You could try casting that huge water bubble spell when we end our adventure. It would be fun.

Miriam: Yeah why not? It's been a while since i don't use my witchcrafting for fun.

Frida: I'm surprised that while you're a waterbender, you can't stay underwater for too long.

Miriam: I'm not actually a waterbender Frida. I'm just, very good at witchcraft with water. I've never actually tried to test my limit underwater.

Tak: Well, don't worry, i've trained your friends while you were looking for the crystal. Right guys?

Jasper: Yeah, that's true. And i'm surprisingly very good at this.

David: I'm not that good, but honestly i think i can do better next time. If only we had a stopwatch.

Tak: What's a stopwatch?

David: A tool you can measure time with. With that someone can know for how long can do things like holding your breath underwater.

Tak: Oh. That's, that's interesting.

Hilda: What about you Alex? Did you hold it for a long time.

Alex: Well not quite. I just, need more practice.

Hilda: Are you okay?

Alex: Nothing's wrong, it's just that being in the mouth of this... Thing. Makes me feel uncomfortable... Where we're heading now Lir?

Lir: I just said we were going to Greece, because that's where we're close to.

Alex: 'Kay...

(Meanwhile, back in Trolberg...)

Alfur: You know, it's not so hard here. With you two here, it's gonna be like that time.

Tontu: Yeah, pretty much.

(Just then, Wood Man walked in.)

Wood Man: What's going on here?

Alfur and Tontu: Gaaaah!!!

Tontu: Oh, it's just you Wood Man.

Alfur: Why did you came here?

Wood Man: Thought I'd come to visit Trolberg for a while. Where's Hilda?

Alfur: She had to take care of something.

Wood Man: Like what?

Alfur: I don't know, it had to do something with a castle.

Wood Man: A castle? Hmm... You're not talking about the Sea Kingdom, are you?

(Tontu, Alfur, and Twig gasped.)

Alfur: How'd you know that?

Wood Man: Books. I have lots of books that explain mysteries like the Sea Kingdom.

Tontu: Ehh, it kinda makes sense, I guess.

(A knock was heard on the door.)

Tontu: I got it.

(Tontu went to open the door, and when he opened it he saw a guy with glasses standing in the doorway.)

Tontu: Uh, who are you?

Xavier: Greetings, ehh, you little furball.

Tontu: I'm a nisse.

Xavier: Yeah yeah whatever, allow me to introduce myself, i am Xavier, Alex's cousin.

Tontu: Oh, ummm. What made you come here?

Xavier: Alex left a note by his door saying that he's busy doing something out of town, and that I should stay with you guys instead.

Tontu: Oh. He did?

Xavier: Yeah. Can I come in?

Tontu: Help yourself.

(Tontu stepped back to let Xavier through the doorway. Xavier looked around. He saw Wood Man and Twig.)

Xavier: Neat corridor. Inhabitants? Eh.

Wood Man: Greetings, human.

Alfur: Hello, Alex's cousin!

Xavier: What the? Who was that?

Alfur: It's an elf.

Xavier: An elf? What are you talking about?

Alfur: I'm invisible.

Xavier: Invisible where?

Alfur: On top of the deerfox!

(Xavier looked at Twig. He leaned his head forward.)

Xavier: And where exactly are you on this deerfox?

Alfur: Right over here.

Xavier: This one?

(Alfur sighed.)

Xavier: I'll just give you the paperwork now.

TBA.
