Raya and the Last Dragon (My Version)/Transcript

[The film opens with logos before cutting to a barren jungle. A statue stands in the middle of it as something rolls past it. A large rolling object rolls through a desert with a woman in a robe, straw hat and wearing a mask over her mouth and nose riding on it past old ruins and statues of people toward a river while the credits come up: "Disney presents", "In Association with Legendary Pictures" and "A Roth Films/WingNut Films Production".]

Raya: (narrating) I know what you're thinking. The leader of the squad. The princess warrior. The dystopian world. The land that's gone to waste. Let me tell you the story of how the land was created. Once upon a time, 500 years ago, there was a world between humans and dragons called Kumandra. Our land was whole, and we lived harmoniously alongside... dragons. Magical creatures who brought us water and rain and peace. It was paradise. But then, the Druun came. A mindless plague that spread like wildfire, multiplying as they consumed life and turned everyone they touched into stone. The dragons fought for us the best they could, but it wasn't enough. That's when the Mighty Sisudatu, the last dragon, concentrated all her magic into a gem and blasted the Druun away. Everyone that was turned to stone came back. Except the dragons. All that was left of Sisu was her gem. It should have been this big inspirational moment, where humanity united over her sacrifice. But instead, people being people, they all fought to possess the last remnant of dragon magic. Borders were drawn, Kumandra divided. We all became enemies, and the gem had to be hidden. But that's not how the world broke. That didn't truly happen until 500 years later, when I came into the story. And my name is Raya.

[The scene changes to a younger Raya putting on gloves and grabbing two bo staffs which she puts on her back. She runs down the corridor but stops when she sees a bracelet shining in the moonlight. She puts it on her ponytail and tightens her face covering before whirling to look determinedly at the camera. The title comes up: "Raya and the Last Dragon". The scene changes in three split halves to reveal Raya now standing on the window ledge. She jumps on to the ground and runs toward a giant curve shaped mountain with a palace on it. Raya crept into the hallway and runs her hand across the wall. She look to see that half the wall is solid. Raya looks down to the corridor as she removes her face covering and smirks. She bends down to the floor and examines the walls. She moves her hand over one of the cobblestones in the floor which sinks into the floor, triggering a net. Raya quickly ducks out of the way.]

Raya: Hmm. Huh. Looks like someone's trying to be clever.

[She brings out her pet which is part-pill bug, part-armadillo, and part pug and taps it's shell, causing to uncurl]

Tuk Tuk: (chittering)

Raya: All right, Tuk Tuk, let's show 'em what clever really looks like.

Tuk Tuk: (chittering)

[Tuk Tuk rolls underneath the nets but stops when he sees a bug and tries follow it]

Raya: Tuk Tuk! Come on! Focus!

Tuk Tuk: (chitters)

[Tuk Tuk curls back up and continues]

Raya: Thank you.

[Tuk Tuk rolls under the final net and into the wall at the end of the corridor. He uncurls]

Raya: Hey, bud, that was awesome. Give me some shell.

[Tuk Tuk tries to high five her only to end up on his back]

Raya: (laughs as she pushes him up right again) I got ya.

[Raya studies the door and uses her stick weapons to turn unlock it. The door opens revealing a chamber within. Raya removes her shoes and follows the water, which is flowing up instead of down, up the stairs to a room where Sisu's gem is suspended in the air surrounded by a pool of water and dragon statues. Raya stares at it amazed]

Raya: Whoa.

[Raya looks around but then she becomes suspicious]

Raya: Wait a second.

[She turns to look at the chamber door]

Raya: This feels too easy.

[She turns back around see a figure in a mask, Chief Benja, her father, standing behind her on two of the stepping stones in the pool of water surrounding the gem]

Raya: Chief Benja. Look, I know it's your job to try and stop me, but you won't.

Chief Benja: Don't mistake spirit for skill, young one. I promise you will not set foot on the Dragon Gem's inner circle. Not even a toe. The first rule is, there are no rules.

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

Chief Benja: Not today. First one to pass the test, wins.

[Raya takes out her sticks and a fight ensues. She tries to get past Chief Benja on both sides only to be blocked both times. They clash weapons and Chief Benja manages to strike Raya. The tip of her nose barely touches the water as she gets back up and leaps at Chief Benja before their weapons clash again. Eventually, Chief Benja disarms Raya and knocks her to the ground. He aims his sword at her, looking as if he is about to deliver the killing blow. Instead, however, he boops her on the tip of her nose with it]

Chief Benja: Boop. (removing his mask) Like I said, not one foot on the inner circle. You lost, Raya.

Raya: Did I?

[She and Chief Benja look to see Raya's pinky toe is touching the edge of the inner circle. Benja smiles]

Chief Benja: (gasps) Raya... (helping her up) I probably should've said two feet.

Raya: Hey, don't beat yourself up too much, Chief Benja. You gave it your best.

Chief Benja: I won't. And it's either "Father" or "Ba" to you. You did good, dewdrop. You passed the test.

[He turns her to face the Dragon Gem which is surrounded by tiny droplets of water floating around it]

Raya: Wow. The spirit of Sisu.

[They both kneel before the gem and bow making a circle shape on their foreheads before lowering their hands]

Chief Benja: For generations, our family has sworn to protect the gem. Today, you will join that legacy. Raya, Princess of Heart, my daughter, you are now a Guardian of the Dragon Gem.

[He pours water on Raya's head which turns into droplets and flows to the gem. Raya and Benja stare at it. The next day, the sun shines over Heart and we view a variety of people making food, banners and arranging flowers in bird baths. Raya and Tuk Tuk catch up with Benja in the corridor as Raya performs karate moves]

Benja: (chuckles) Well, someone's excited.

Raya: Well, yeah! I mean, anyone hoping to steal the Dragon Gem now has to face the fury of the two baddest blades in all the lands.

Benja: I'm glad you feel prepared, dewdrop, because I have something important to tell you. The other lands, they're on their way here, as we speak.

Raya: They are? Uh... Okay. Okay, no, we can do this. I'm ready. I know exactly how we'll stop them.

Benja: Really? Tell me what you know about the other lands.

Raya: First... Tail. A sweltering desert with sneaky mercenaries who fight dirty. Second, Talon. A floating market famous for fast deals and fighters with even faster hands. Third, Spine. A frigid bamboo forest guarded by exceptionally large warriors, and their giant axes. Fourth, Fang. Our fiercest enemy. A nation protected by angry assassins, and their even angrier cats.

Cat: (hisses)

Tuk Tuk: (chitters)

Raya: Okay, so we're gonna need some crossbows and catapults and... Ooh! What about flaming catapults?

Benja: Or, how about shrimp paste from Tail, lemongrass from Talon, bamboo shoots from Spine, chilis from Fang and palm sugar from Heart?

Raya: We'll poison them?

Benja: (chuckles) No, we're not going to poison them and we're not going to fight them. We're going to share a meal with them.

Raya: (scoffs) Wait, what?

Benja: I invited them.

Raya: But they're our enemies.

Benja: They're only our enemies because they think the Dragon Gem magically brings us prosperity.

Raya: That's ridiculous. It doesn't do that.

Benja: They assume it does, just like we assume things about them. Raya, there's a reason why each land is named after a part of the dragon. We were once unified. Harmoniously as one. Kumandra.

Raya: That's ancient history, Ba.

Benja: But it doesn't have to be. Listen, if we don't stop and learn to trust one another again, it's only a matter of time before we tear each other apart. This isn't the world I want you to live in. I believe that we can be Kumandra again. But someone has to take the first step. Trust me.

Raya: All right, Ba. That actually sounds usual.

[Benja looks at the window as Raya takes what he says into consideration. Later, the other lands stand together in silence all glaring in suspicion, making Raya uncomfortable]

Raya: (narrating) All the other lands came to the feast. Even the quartet of the tribe chiefs who sought to foster peace and goodwill.

Raya: Things look a little tense, Ba.

Benja: Don't worry, I'm gonna open with a joke.

Raya: Please don't.

Benja: (chuckles) I'm kidding, I'm kidding. (inhales, to the other lands) People of Tail, Talon, Spine, and Fang, welcome to Heart. For far too long, we have been enemies, but today is a new day. Today, we can be Kumandra once more.

Mona the Tail Chief: (while she claps slowly) Nice speech, Chief Benja. But why'd you really bring us here? Are you gonna rob us?

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Why would he need to rob us? The land of Heart already has everything.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Oh, it's easy to pontificate on Kumandra when you hold the mightiest weapon in all the lands.

Benja: The gem's not a weapon. It's a sacred relic.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Kumandra! Kumandra's a joke!

Mona the Tail Chief: He brought us all this way to talk about fairy tales.

Haruun the Spine Chief: This is pointless!

Raya: (walks downstairs and salutes to the three chiefs) Hello.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Oh. (salutes to Raya) Greetings, Princess Raya. I'm Chief Haruun of the Spine Tribe.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: I'm Chief Dang Hai of the Talon Tribe.

Mona the Tail Chief: And I'm Chief Mona of the Tail Tribe, good princess.

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

Haruun the Spine Chief: (blows a raspberry) These aren't just any other gifts.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: For, you see, we're chief warriors.

Mona the Tail Chief: And very good with the other tribes.

Raya: Wow. So, anyway, I have something to say.

Spine Chief: Go on.

Raya: Are you all hungry?

Male Spine Warrior: (raises his hand) Yes, we are!

Spine Chief: Seriously, man?

Male Spine Warrior: (lowers his hand) Oh. Sorry, Chief Haruun.

Namaaro: (chuckles softly)

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: (breathes deeply) Very smart, Raya. Very funny. I know we're all hungry and we wouldn't end up starving to death.

Virana: (to Namaaro) Go ahead, son. It's all right. I'll have a word with Chief Benja.

[Raya and Benja approach Namaaro and Virana while the other tribes mutter angrily.]

Spine Chief: Settle down, now, everyone. Let's not get angry on the feast. Let's all be happy, polite, faithful and delightful.

[The other tribes stop muttering.]

Namaaro: Hello. I'm Prince Namaaro of Fang.

Raya: Good to see you. I'm Princess Raya of Heart.

Haruun the Spine Chief: I see you've befriended Prince Namaari of Fang as your future groom.

Virana: Hello. (salutes to Benja) I'm Chief Virana of the Fang Tribe.

Benja: (salutes to Virana) And I'm Chief Benja of the Heart Tribe.

Virana: I see your daughter met my son.

Benja: Of course. And someday they'll be married to each other.

Virana: So, where's your wife?

Benja: Uh, I'm afraid my wife died from the illness when Raya was five.

Virana: My husband too from hunting accident when my son was just five.

Raya: Hey, that's Sisu, isn't it?

Namaaro: Well, yeah, it is. I might be a little bit of a dragon nerd, but hey, I'm the one who wears the Sisu fan necklace.

Raya: Come on. Have you eaten yet?

[Raya takes Namaaro to the throne room. At the throne room, Raya and Namaaro talk and have lunch while Benja, Virana, the Spine Chief, the Tail Chief and the Talon Chief converse. As the festivities are underway, Tuk Tuk climbs onto the plate as he attempts to eat a skewer of fish, but Namaaro grabs it and then Tuk Tuk grumbles.]

Raya: (laughs) Seriously? Your mom actually said that? Awkward. Okay, next question. Hand-to-hand or swords?

Namaaro: Blades all day.

Raya: Right?

Namaaro: (chuckles) Okay, dressy or casual?

Raya: Only a monster would choose to wear this outfit on the regular.

Namaaro: (laughs)

Raya: Uh, rice or stew?

[Namaaro looks down at the two dishes]

Raya: I didn’t think that’d stump you.

Namaaro: Uh… This is actually one of the first times I’ve had rice in awhile.

Raya: Really?

Namaaro: Fang may look nice on the outside, but we have some pretty big holes on the inside.

Raya: Oh.

Namaaro: Sorry. Didn’t mean to bring it down. So, where were we? We both have single parents who are terrible at telling jokes. We’re both warrior women who despise uncomfortable formal wear.

Raya: And we’re both Sisu superfans.

Namaaro: (laughs) Yeah. You know, Fang legend says she’s still out there.

Raya: Sisu? You’re kidding, right?

Namaaro: (taking out a folded up scroll) Wanna see something?

Raya: (gasps, whispering) Are you supposed to have that?

Namaaro: (scoffs) No. According to this, after the Mighty Sisu blasted away all the Druun, she fell into the water and floated downstream. Legends say she’s now sleeping at the river’s end.

Tuk Tuk: (chitters)

Raya: But which river? There’s, like, hundreds.

Namaaro: I don’t know. But if we could find it, could you imagine? A dragon back in the world. Things could be so much better.

[Raya looks at her father who talking to the servants and guests]

Raya: Yeah. Maybe we really could be Kumandra again.

[Namaaro takes off his dragon pendant and gives it to Raya]

Namaaro: Here.

Raya: Whoa. Really?

Namaaro: From one dragon nerd to another.

Raya: Thanks, dep la. Oh, there's something I'd like to show you. I present to you my nicest pet in Kumandra. (shows Tuk Tuk to Namaaro) Ta-da. Namaaro of Fang, I introduce you to Tuk Tuk. Tuk Tuk, say hello to Prince Namaaro of the Fang Tribe.

Tuk Tuk: (trills softly)

Namaaro: (gasps) Aw, look at him. He looks adorable.

Raya: (giggles) Yeah, I know.

Namaaro: That was really nice of you presenting Tuk Tuk to me. Oh, and I have a nice pet like yours. (makes kissing noises) Buwan, come here.

[Buwan approaches Namaaro and Namaaro picks him up.]

Namaaro: This is Buwan, my serlot kitten. He'll be a trained warrior cat. I hope he loves your pet.

Buwan: (meows, rubs his head on Raya and looks at Tuk Tuk)

Tuk Tuk: (trills excitedly and Buwan hops onto his back)

Raya: (puts Tuk Tuk to the floor as he and Buwan get along) Aw, look at that. They've become furry buddies.

Namaaro: I know, dep la. You've been very useful. You know, in a different world, I think we'll be best friends from now on. But I wouldn't probably say lovers.

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

Benja: Chief Haruun, Chief Virana, Chief Mona and Chief Dang Hai, I'd like to thank you all for accepting the invitation. I just hope you love lots of food.

Virana: My pleasure, Chief Benja.

Haruun the Spine Chief: You know, I have to admit, this palace looks really nice to us.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Yep, I agree.

Mona the Tail Chief: And so do I. The feasts may be suitable, but true, by the way. (chuckles awkwardly) Yeah.

Raya: (gets an idea) Hmm. Hey. Come with me, dep la. I wanna show you something.

[Raya leads Namaaro out of the palace as Tuk Tuk picks some food up in his mouth before following them. Later, the door to the chamber where the Dragon Gem is kept opens. Raya and Namaaro remove their shoes and approach the gem.]

Tuk Tuk: (trilling)

Narmaaro: (gasps softly) The spirit of Sisu. I can feel it.

Raya: It’s the last bit of dragon magic left in the whole world.

[They enter the chamber.]

Namaaro: I see why Heart guards it so closely. Thank you, dep la. (as his expression turns to a smirk) You’ve been very helpful.

[Namaaro shoves Raya to the ground and walks past her.]

Namaaro: In a different world, maybe we could have been friends, but I have to do what’s right for Fang.

[Raya pulls Namaaro back and they engage in hand to hand combat. Tuk Tuk tries to help by bumping against Namaaro's leg but he kicks him into a wall. Raya knocks Namaaro down. Seeing he is no match for Raya alone, Namaaro tries to set off a flare, but Tuk Tuk arrives as he angrily bites Namaaro's hand.]

Namaaro: Ow! (throws Tuk Tuk away and sets off a flare)

[Back in the palace]

Benja: Chief Virana, I’m so glad Fang accepted our invitation.

[Suddenly, Benja hears whooshing and goes to the window to see the flare and some Fang soldiers heading up the mountain to the temple. He turns to see Virana walking away, realizing that Fang was intending to steal the gem all along. He glares. Back in the temple.]

Raya: There is no way you’re taking Sisu’s gem.

Namaaro: Sorry. The gem belongs to Fang now.

[The Fang soldiers arrive.]

Raya: (pants)

[Suddenly, Chief Benja jumps in through the roof using his sword as a whip. He fights the soldiers and stands defensively in front of Raya]

Benja: You will not set foot on the Dragon Gem’s inner circle.

Female Spine Warrior: What's going on?

Haruun the Spine Chief: What is this?

Female Spine Warrior: Fang’s making a play for the gem!

Haruun the Spine Chief: No! Spine should have the gem!

Mona the Tail Chief: Not if we get to it first!

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Our blades say different.

[As the crowd argues again, Benja sees Raya behind him in the blade of the sword and then, having an idea, he looks at the crowd]

Benja: Listen to me! (the crowd falls silent) We have a choice. We can tear each other apart, or we can come together and build a better world. It’s not too late. I still believe we can be Kumandra again.

Namaaro: He's right.

Raya: (recognizes the voice) Namaaro?

[Namaaro steps up to Raya. Raya becomes more defensive the closer Namaaro comes.]

Namaaro: Raya, I'm not gonna hurt you anymore. (starts to cry) I made a terrible mistake. I trusted someone I shouldn't have. I'm sorry for betraying you. I'm sorry for kicking your back and your pet. And I'm sorry for something horrible my mother made me do.

[Namaaro looks at Virana. Virana becomes shocked, she couldn't say anything, she couldn't do anything.]

Raya: How do I know this isn't another trick?

[Namaaro goes up to Raya and hugs her with all his might. He cries into Raya's shoulder. Raya's instincts tell him not to trust her, but her soul tells her Namaaro meant this apology. Then Raya hugs Namaaro back.]

Namaaro: (crying) I'm really sorry for everything. Please forgive me of my sins.

Raya: It's okay, dep la. I forgive you.

Haruun the Spine Chief: (someone tries to shoot at Namaaro with a crossbow but he stops someone) Stop! Lower your crossbow. I'm dealing with this. (walks over to Raya) Princess Raya, for forgiving Prince Namaaro of Fang, I wish for you the gift of beauty. (gives the kiss to Raya's hand)

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Sweet princess, my gift for you shall be that you'd have the virtues of peaceful, love and hope.

Mona the Tail Chief: Raya of Heart, my wish shall be that you'd be the bravest warrior of Kumandra.

[When Mona is about to kiss Raya's hand, the crack is suddenly about to appear in the sky and the gem's glow intensifies.]

Haruun the Spine Chief: Something's happening.

Virana: Prepare for battle!

[The warriors draw weapons and grunt in unison. A glowing purple appears from the ground and the blast hit the warriors and they stand up.]

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: To your positions!

Mona the Tail Chief: Make ready!

[The Druun appear as humanoids with wings of a dragonfly, sharp teeth, and eyes glowing purple. Khan arrives as he jumps out of the hole and lands on the ground and stands up in his shining metallic "living" armor that responded to him almost symbiotically, covering all but his face when fully deployed.]

Benja: Druun? It can't be.

Khan: Kumandra. They have failed to become people again. They always fail. Good evening, tribes of Kumandra. I am Khan, the great, mighty conqueror. I have come to enlighten you to the great darkness. I will bathe in your fear.

Benja: Tribes of Kumandra, show him your fear!

Tribes: (in unison) We have no fear!

[Atitaya shoots a Druun humanoid with a crossbow. The tribes fight the Druun humanoids.]

Raya: Ba, we must take the gem so we have to evacuate!

Mona the Tail Chief: We'll hold them off!

[The warriors of Fang, Spine, Talon and Tail restrain Khan who reaches for the gem, but Benja uses his whip sword to grab the gem and pull it as Benja catches the gem.]

Khan: No!

Benja: Got it!

Haruun the Spine Chief: Run, Chief Benja! Come on, let's go!

[Khan growls angrily and pushes the warriors out of the way while the tribes run away. Outside at the temple of Heart, the Heart warriors seal the temple after the tribes exit.]

Raya and Benja: Phew.

Benja: Good thing the warriors had the temple sealed after the tribes exited. Can you imagine if Khan manages to punch a hole in the door?

[Khan punches a hole in the door.]

Raya: Or so I thought.

Khan: You can run, but you can't escape from the wrath of Druun.

[The Druun humanoids fly out of the temple as the Heart archers shoot them with their bows while the tribes still run away and retreat to their homelands. The Heart warriors bond Khan but Khan breaks through the bonds and petrifies them to stone.]

Khan: (growling)

Tribes: (clamoring)

Benja: (panting) We'll be able to get out of here in no time, dewdrop!

[Khan shoots at Benja's knee with an arrow as Benja lets the gem slip through his fingers and the gem shatters into five pieces.]

Benja: (groans in pain)

Raya: Ba!

Virana, Haruun the Spine Chief, Mona the Tail Chief, Dang Hai the Talon Chief, Namaari: Chief Benja!

Benja: The gem!

Raya, Namaaro, Virana, Haruun the Spine Chief, Mona the Tail Chief, Dang Hai the Talon Chief: No!

Haruun the Spine Chief: Raya, pick up the pieces and give them to us! Quickly!

Raya: Okay! (quickly gives each piece to the Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai and Virana) One! Two! Three! Four! (picks up one piece) And five!

Khan: Oh, Chief Benja. Why do you fight? The gem has been shattered. You can't save the people of Heart. You can't save all of Kumandra. The great darkness begins. (to the Druun humanoid) Yes, we will find the perfect spot.

[Khan flies to the forest.]

Woman: (screams)

Raya: Ba, come on! We have to go!

Benja: (groans) I can't. I'm too wounded. I want you to find Sisu at the last river in Tail. Tell her the Druun have returned.

Raya: I will, Ba. I promise.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Don't worry, Raya. We'll protect the other tribes from the dangers of the Druun before we return to Tail.

Mona the Tail Chief: He's right. She'll be able to stay with me back in my homeland.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: When the Druun humanoids are taken care of, Haruun, Mona and I will teach you the ways of becoming a princess warrior while we'd become benevolent parental figures.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Take care of yourself, princess.

Benja: (kisses Raya's forehead) I love you, my little dewdrop.

Raya: I love you too, Ba.

Benja: Take my sword. (Raya does as he says) Revive all of the dragons of Kumandra. Goodbye.

Raya: Goodbye, Ba.

[Benja throws Raya into the river as the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai dive into the river. A Druun humanoid turns Benja to stone. Raya comes out of the water and swims to Tail as the Haruun, Mona and Dang Hai follow her.]

Haruun the Spine Chief: Come on, we must swim to Tail where we can be safe.

[The scene goes to the shore at Tail as the text comes up "Tail". Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Namaari and Tail Chief walk on shore.]

Tail Chief: I'm actually sorry for your loss, Raya. We'll build a hut.

[The scene goes to the forest as the portal opens and Khan lands on the ground.]

Khan: It's deserted. That's good.

[Khan uses his hands to build the base with the hole as he grabs a Druun humanoid's neck and throws it as they fly.]

Khan: Go! Follow the presence of Sisudatu. Find the missing pieces. Once they are found, the gem will be reassembled. This world will join the others. He will be pleased. He will see my worth again.

Raya: (narrating) Khan ordered his army to find every piece of the gem as they search far and wide. But Mona previously built a bridge and traps at her own kingdom that Tail might never suffer starvation and death. Secretly, I formed a squad of my own called the Dragon Searchers who would search for Sisudatu wherever she lived while the Fang tribe delivered more food supply weekly whenever they ran out. And Khan reveled in the sorrow that his curse had brought. Haruun the Spine Chief, Mona the Tail Chief and Dang Hai the Talon Chief began their charge to raise me in the desert grasslands of Tail after they've built a hut made out of concrete and bricks while they protected their homelands.

[The scene goes to Tail as the hut appears with the chimney.]

Mona the Tail Chief: There. I've built the hut made of concrete and bricks.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Looks good to me.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Let's move.

Mona the Tail Chief: (her stomach rumbles and she moans) I'm still hungry. Good thing I have leftovers from Heart. (holds up a leftover fish and takes a bite into it) Mm. Fishy. (swallows and belches) Pardon me. Now, there'll be no questions asked. We're all safe from the Druun humanoids, we're the three chiefs of Kumandra raising the princess of Heart in the middle of the desert grasslands.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Yes.

Raya: Well, it's a good thing the Druun humanoids won't find us.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Is that true, Raya? Did you just trust that prince from Fang by showing him the location of the dragon gem?

Raya: Well, yes. It's all true. I just don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm sure I just forgave him of his own sins.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Um... Are you sure about that?

Raya: Yes, I'm sure.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Hmm. Well, that's good. Anyway, let's just enter our new hut so the Druun humanoids will never know the difference.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: At least no evil will find us everywhere we go.

[Raya, Haruun, Mona and Dang Hai enter the hut as Tuk Tuk trills when all alone. Raya opens the door and picks up Tuk Tuk.]

Raya: There are you are. Why are you always lonely, Tuk Tuk? Come on. Here we go.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Wait, who's Tuk Tuk?

Raya: My pet.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Oh. Well, come inside. You don't wanna be late for bedtime.

[Raya reenters the hut and closes the door. The scene goes to Khan's base as the Druun humanoids chitter and screech.]

Khan: Chen, Chen! I call to thee.

[Chen appears in a water-like hologram.]

Chen: Khan, have you begun the conquest?

Khan: Raya lives in the grasslands of Tail with Chief Haruun of the Spine Tribe, Chief Mona of the Tail Tribe and Chief Dang Hai of the Talon Tribe as they've begun to raise her.

Chen: Good.

Khan: I will find the dragon gem pieces until Kumandra is on its knees, and then the last dragon will be mine to kill. The tribes of Kumandra will be turned to stone.

Chen: You have proved useful, warlord.

Khan: (points his sword at Chen) Not warlord. Conqueror. (breathes heavily) I could slash you to pieces before you blink. (lowers his sword)

Chen: But you won't. Remember what you want, a place where your powers will not be vilified. A place where you are accepted for who you are. You won't get what you want without me.

Khan: (evasively) This world is divided. There are primitive people unevolved at war with another. Too separate to be one. (clenches his fist) Their free world must be ripped from them, like every single Druun. Given absolution in one glorious belief: To serve him.

Chen: (completely unimpresssed) The Dragon Gem?

Khan: I have shot Chief Benja's knee with an arrow who slipped the dragon gem through his own fingers and it shattered like glass into five pieces as the humanoids feel their presence. They fly. They search everywhere for the gem pieces while I build a stronghold in the name of his glory.

Chen: (whispers; sarcastically) Yes. Mighty Khan, who might have sat here by the side of the Dark Dragon. (inhales; scornfully) But undone by his self-pride.

Khan: Chen. I fall before you. (falls to his knees; pleadingly) Let me make a plea to him that I may come home after I take the five gem pieces in his name.

Chen: (condescendingly) You betrayed him. Your own family.

Khan: (angrily; full of guilt) I saw my mistake. I slaughtered those who sought his throne.

Chen: When I found you slaughtering your own family back in the underworld, you were exiled. A scorned dog. When you kill the last dragon, you will rule all of Kumandra with him. (chuckles; coldly) You still owe the dark dragon the five dragon gem pieces. He will hear your plea when you pay your debt.

Khan: (rises from his knees; disappointed but resolved) Then the dragon gem pieces will be found and reassembled. No more tribes here. No more humans. No more dragons. Kumandra will fall, like all the Druun did.

Chen: We will finish what we started.

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

Chen: For Quynh. (deactivates the hologram)

Khan: (determinately) For Quynh.

[The scene fades up to Tail as Raya rides to the hut with Tuk Tuk while the text comes up: "Six Years Later". Raya draws her sword and has arrived at the hut. The door opens as Haruun, Mona, and Dang Hai come out.]

Raya: (narrating) As Chancellor Hing of Fang had said, I did grow up to be the great, mighty princess warrior and also the true leader. And after six years, he showed me the location of Sisu that was on the map because the story never said which river she ended up in, and so I had to travel through every land to find her.

Haruun the Spine Chief: So, what did the chancellor say?

Raya: The chancellor said she's at the end of the last river in Tail, which was hidden beneath an old shipwreck.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Ah, so that's how she's hidden beneath an old shipwreck at the end of the last river in here. And that means the clue has been discovered.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: That's right.

Haruun the Spine Chief: I say we find the shipwreck and awake Sisu. Just in case.

Mona the Tail Chief: I couldn't agree more.

Dang Hai: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go.

[Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai, and Mona travel to the end of the last river as they have reached at a sort of hill with Raya tapping what is now revealed to be Tuk-Tuk, who then unrolls out of his ball form and stands still, and then Raya lowers her mask as she and her team see a sort of gorge up ahead. Raya checks the map with each spot checked with all but remaining as while the other spots were X'd out, one is circled.]

Raya: (exhales) Please let this be it.

[And then all of a sudden, Tuk Tuk starts moving again as he sees a gecko that he wants to see as he spins around.]

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Whoa! What do you think you're doing, you big, furry armadillo? Hey, buddy, focus.

Raya: Eyes forward, Tuk Tuk.

[The gecko jumps off with Tuk Tuk who gets back in place afterwards.]

Raya: Good boy, you're just easily distracted.

Haruun the Spine Chief: Watch out!

[Raya sees a Druun humanoid charging at her and the squad as the squad falls down the hill. Mona decapitates it with her sickle. The group realizes something.]

Mona the Tail Chief: That was too close. Wait a minute, I think we just realize something. (examines the Druun humanoid's blood and licks it) Hmm. Tastes like fruit juice. So that means they can actually bleed liquid purple?

Raya: That's interesting. That's very interesting.

Haruun the Spine Chief: (pushes Tuk Tuk back on the ground; grunts) You're getting a little too big for this. You know that?

[Tuk Tuk grumbles in response. Later, the squad continues to the gorge and notices a line wrecked ship in view.]

Haruun the Spine Chief: Six years of searching for this? We've looked all over Kumandra all this time for answers on how to save the world only to end up at a literal shipwreck while we trained you to become the bravest princess warrior and raised you for six years in this.

Raya: That's actually not a bad sign, is it?

Mona the Tail Chief: No, I think that's actually a perfect sign.

Dang Hai the Talon Chief: Hmm. Well, anyway, let's go inside and awake Sisu, shall we?

[Raya, Haruun, Mona and Dang Hai go inside the shipwreck as they follow the river all the way to a hole on the wall before then they set up a shrine for Sisu with Raya who places a couple of lanterns along with a pink flower and an assortment of food with Mona who holds the necklace.]

Mona: Go for it, Raya.

Raya: Thanks, Mona. (clears throat) Sisudatu, um, I don't know if you're listening. The chiefs and I've searched every river to find you, and now we're here at the very last one. Look, there's not a lot of us left, and we really… We really need your help. If we can be honest, we really need your help. I made a terrible mistake. I trusted someone I shouldn't have. Now the world's broken and I'm so ashamed. (breathes deeply and cries softly) Sisudatu... I just really want my father back. Please.

Haruun: It's all right, Raya. You never meant to. Just take a deep breath and calm down.

Raya: (takes a deep breath and calms down) Thanks, Haruun. I feel much better now.

Haruun: You're welcome. And don't worry, you'll be able to see your father again, that's all.

Raya: I know. All right. Here goes everything. Ready?

Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona: Ready.

Raya: Let's do this.

[Raya pours some more water into the chalice.]

Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona: (chanting) Suvaa de draa sim. Mandra de draa lim. Bavaa de draa Tomben. (the last drop drops into the chalice)

[At first, nothing happened, but a moment afterward, the river starts to change direction and starts rising up from the river as bubbles. Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona are the first to notice, other than Tuk Tuk who drinks the water from the small river, before then he exclaims.]

Haruun: Wait. Raya, are you seeing this?

Raya: Whoa. It's actually working. Like magic.

Dang Hai: You might be right, Princess. It does work like magic.

Mona: Let's hope this works this time.

[Then, in half a minute less than no time, the water bubbles start to gather in one place, even prompting poor Tuk-Tuk to hide in his shell as the water bubbles gather inside a big water bubble before suddenly, the water bubbles turn into a dragon with mist not only escaping from it, but also briefly turning Raya's face into that of a dragon's again.]

Sisu: Whoa. Where am I? Pengu? Jagan? Pranee? Amba? Are you here?

Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai, and Mona: (saluting to Sisu) Oh, Mighty Sisu!

Sisu: Who said that?

[Sisu turns around as her tail inadvertently hits Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona to the ground.]

Sisu: Hello? Where'd you go?

[Sisu puzzles before she hears muffled groaning and turns to notice the four, one of them groaning while Raya couldn't help but chuckle.]

Haruun: Oh, be quiet, you. Don't forget she knocked you down too. (notices her dragon face and realizes something has done; softly) Raya. (points to his face)

Raya: Oh. Right. (morphs her face back into a normal one)

[Sisu goes over to the four and picks Raya up.]

Sisu: Oh! (laughs) Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there. Not too bad. Just a little dusty. Let me get that for ya. (brushes the dust off Raya) There you go. That doesn't look bad now, does it?

Haruun: Uh, yeah. I think we're all dusty. Just a little, that's all. (clears throat)

Sisu: Oh. No need to worry. (brushes the dust off the chiefs)

Haruun: Thank you very much.

Raya: Sisu? You are Sisu?

Sisu: And you're... Hold on a sec. They might not even know I'm their mother. And if they do, they could be totally mad at me for leaving them. Come on, Sisu. Think of something that won't give you away too soon, something that shows you don't know them yet... (thinks before she finishes out loud) ...people. What's your name? (thinks) Nailed it?

Raya: My name is Princess Raya of the Heart Tribe. And that's Chief Haruun of the Spine Tribe, Chief Dang Hai of the Talon Tribe, and Chief Mona of the Tail Tribe.

Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona: Hey, there. We've raised her for six years like benevolent parental figures.

Haruun: I'm her uncle once removed.

Dang Hai: I'm her uncle twice removed.

Mona: And I'm her auntie once removed.

Sisu: And you're not made of stone, which means… It worked! We did it! You hear that, Pengu? It worked! I didn't mess it up! (notices something on the ground) Is that food? I was so focused on saving the world, I forgot to have breakfast today. (drops Raya to the ground and picks up a bag)

Haruun: Today? When exactly do you actually think today is?

Sisu: (picks up jackfruit jerky) Tuesday. (takes a bite of it and makes a face) I mean... Mmm. So, what's that delightful culinary treat?

Raya: It's jackfruit jerky. I recently dried it myself.

Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona: (in unison) Yes, recently!

Sisu: Oh, recently! Well, compliments to the chef. Wanna finish this, Skippy? (offers jackfruit jerky to Tuk Tuk who has to refuse)

Mona: We would've gone for something much better than that, but with the world being broken and all, we don't have a lot of options.

Raya: Yeah, Sisu. Speaking of which, there are a few things we need to catch you up on.

Sisu: Oh, yeah?

Dang Hai: Yeah, but you're not gonna like it. (chuckles nervously)

[The scene goes outside at the shipwreck as Tuk Tuk listens to something.]

Sisu: (shouting) You broke it?!

Tuk Tuk: (whines and rolls down onto the ground on his back)

[The scene goes back inside the wrecked ship.]

Haruun: Well, technically, Khan broke the gem after he penetrated her father, Chief Benja, right in the knee by an arrow. That was what we were giving Raya our blessings.

Raya: And that's not all, Druun had returned and became humanoids.

Sisu: Same thing! Oh, oh. Oh, my. This is bad. This is bad. I've been asleep for 500 years, the Druun had returned and became humanoids. This can't be happening, and not all of my brothers and sisters came back while only one did. Why didn't they all come back?

Mona: I wish I knew.

Sisu: Also, you broke the gem!

Raya: (holds a gem piece) But we still have a big chunk of it.

Sisu: Is that supposed to make me feel better? If you lost a puppy, and I said... (mockingly) "Well, we still have a big chunk of it!", would that make me feel better?

Haruun: Yeah. Good point. (chuckles sheepishly)

Raya: Can't you just make another one?

Sisu: No, I can't just "make another one."

Raya: But you're the best dragon.

Sisu: I'm gonna be real with you, all right? I'm not exactly, like, the best dragon, ya know?

Dang Hai: But you saved the world by vanquishing the Druun.

Sisu: I did do that. That's true. But have you ever done like a group project, but there's, like, that one kid who didn't pitch in as much, but still ended up with the same grade? Yeah, I wasn't the one who actually made the gem. I just turned it in.

[Sisu holds the gem fragment from Heart just before she inadvertently starts glowing with Raya who has a similar reaction to the gem fragment, although Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona are more focused on Sisu as is Raya.]

Raya: Whoa. Uh... You're actually glowing.

Sisu: Oh, thank you. I use aloe and river slime to maintain my...

Mona: (notices Sisu glowing with her own glow fading) No, no. Look!

Sisu: (excitedly) Oh! This is my little sister Amba's magic! I got the glow!

Dang Hai: Your little sister's glow?

Sisu: Yeah, every dragon has a unique magic.

Haruun: Okay, what's yours?

Sisu: I'm really a strong swimmer.

Raya: Wait, wait, wait, you touched this gem piece and it gave you powers. You know what this means, right?

Sisu: I no longer need a light?

Haruun: What? No! Maybe, I don't know. But it also means, you're still connected to the gem's magic, and that means you can still use it to save the world.

Raya: Yeah. If we can get all the other gem pieces...

Sisu: I can reassemble it...

Raya: (at the same time) You can reassemble it...

Raya and Sisu: (in unison) And banish the Druun for good!

Raya: And bring my father back?

Sisu: And bring all of Kumandra back.

Mona: (scoffs) Kumandra is nothing but a fairy tale.

Quynh: (in Raya's mind) I'm glad you can hear me. I was beginning to think I'd been forgotten. Return to Chancellor Hing of the Fang Tribe and tell him... the dark dragon is coming back to Kumandra.

Haruun: Hey, Raya, are you all right?

Sisu: Yeah, you alright, kid? Because you don't seem like the type of person to flip out like that.

Dang Hai: Yeah, you even look like you've heard a ghost.

Raya: I have. But not exactly. Maybe? I don't know. Point is, I saw something. Like some kind of shadow-like dragon.

Sisu: (gasps)

Mona: There's no one but us, Raya.

Raya: Really? You sure?

Mona: Yep, I'm sure.

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

Mona: Well, anyway, I think there's another gem piece in the mountain range.

Sisu: There is?

Mona: Yes, there is. To the mountain range!

[The scene goes to the desert as five serlots from Fang race across the desert and pass by Raya's hair ring before one named Buwan goes back as Namaaro gets off and examines it.]

Namaaro: (sniffs) Hmm. She's here. I can smell her. (puts Raya's hair ring in his pocket and looks out toward the hill) I can see the smoke from here.

General Wahn: (goes over to Namaaro) Prince Namaaro, the Tail lands have been under attack by the Druun army. Benja's daughter is as good as stone out here. (scoffs) Retrieving some dragon scroll isn't worth the risk.

[Namaaro grabs Wahn by the neck and tips him into the ground as he scratches him in the process and he points one of his swords at him.]

General Wahn: (groans and coughs)

Namaaro: Talk to me about the dragon scroll like that again, and you'll taste the tip of my blade. Understand?

General Wahn: Yes, my prince. And I'm sorry, and it'll never happen ever again.

Namaaro: Good. (returns one of his swords) Anyone else wanna question why we're out here?

[The serlots whimper at the sight, and then after a moment, take off with all five that continue their course toward the shipwreck, not knowing that Raya, Sisu, Haruun, Mona and Dang Hai were far ahead of them. Thau watches over them and makes a low growling sound. The scene goes to the map of Kumandra with five tribes' names on it.]

Raya: (voiceover) All right, Sisu, here's the mission. After the gem's been broken, each piece have been hidden and safe by the one of the chiefs of the five lands, Fang, Heart, Spine, Talon, and Tail. Where we are now.

[The scene goes to the sort of mountain range as Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona arrive and get off Tuk Tuk.]

Sisu: Wow. So many questions. First one, why am I wearing this?

Mona: Well, we don't wanna attract attention.

Sisu: Oh, you definitely chose the right hat for that. So, what makes you think the Tail Chief's here?

[Sisu inadvertently trips a rope behind her, causing a rock to chip away, prompting a column to lean toward only for Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona to push Sisu out of the way.]

Haruun: She's still here, actually. Because this place didn't just booby trap itself.

Sisu: That just makes no sense. None of this would stop a Druun.

Raya: It's not meant to stop Druun. It's only meant to stop people.

[Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona go through the booby traps first and get through successfully and then Sisu goes through them very quickly, leaving the four in slight awe.]

Sisu: What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Raya: (chuckles nervously) Nothing. I'm just not used to seeing dragons.

Sisu: Impressed, huh? Wait until you see my backstroke. I'm wicked when I hit that liquid. I got water skills that kill. I slaughter when I hit the water. I'm, like, really good at swimming, through rhyme. I was trying to make that... That I'm really good at swim... I'm a good swimmer, is basically what I'm...

Haruun: Okay, I get it. But we need to keep going.

[The group continues further until Sisu suddenly gasps.]

Sisu: Oh, no!

Raya: (draws her sword) What? What is it?

Haruun: Are we under attack?

Sisu: We forgot to bring a gift for the Tail Chief!

Raya: (lowers her sword) Wait, what?

Mona: Really? You brought a gift for me? How?

Sisu: Well, a gift says, "You can trust me, can I trust you?"

Dang Hai: Seriously? How could you even think about getting gifts for us at a time just like this?

[A bug appears and lands on Sisu's nose and then Sisu grabs the bug gently.]

Sisu: Aw, hey there, little fella.

[A bug turns around and lifts its wings.]

Sisu: (laughs) This beetle's got a booty.

Mona: Careful! That's a Toot N Boom.

Sisu: Why is it called a...?

[A bug gives off a toot and lets loose a small, glittery cloud of green smoke.]

Raya: Duck!

[Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona push Sisu away from the explosion, small as it is.]

Dang Hai: That's why. (coughs)

Haruun: (sniffs) Ugh! What is that smell? Oh, yeah, I could nearly smell the big whopping stench of flatulence. (coughs)

Sisu: Got it. Noted. Makes sense.

[The group notices several more on each side of the walls in a narrow space ahead.]

Haruun: (sighs) Toot N Booms. Why'd it have to be Toot N Booms?

[The group walks cautiously across the wall.]

Sisu: You have to admit though, these bug booties are kind of cute.

[The group comes across a broken bridge to the chair next to the two trees on each side where the gem piece inside the chair.]

Sisu: Well, well, well.

Mona: I'd say we found the second gem fragment.

Sisu: How'd you think that's gonna work?

Mona: Well, apparently, after that, I managed to escape from the bridge that crumbled and I actually made it out alive.

Sisu: Well, you gotta admire her commitment.

Dang Hai: Not if it gets you killed like it did Druun. All I'm saying. (chuckles)

Raya: Very good. Let's take the second piece. (raises her sword and fires it at the ceiling) All right. Hold on.

[Sisu holds onto Raya as Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona hop onto Sisu's back. And when she jumps off, she stopped halfway with Sisu's bottom half stuck on part of the broken bridge.]

Sisu: Oh, we were doing a jumpy thing! So sorry, my bad. I get it. I'm with it.

[Sisu jumps with Raya's weapon then she falls along with the group, who thankfully land right where they need with Sisu who gets up and reaches for the gem piece.]

Mona: Hold it! That cabinet's unlocked. Maybe it'll open so easily. Let me do the honors.

[Mona opens the cabinet and takes the second gem piece safely.]

Raya: (exhales in relief) Two down, three to go.

Haruun: Well, that went well.

Dang Hai: Hmm. I never even thought doors had cabinets that could open so easily.

Raya: I did, too.

[Raya places the second gem piece onto Sisu's hands and causes it to glow brightly then suddenly she changes as she shrinks down a little while Raya and the three chiefs feel something odd growing from behind her with the four exclaiming a bit.]

Sisu: I just shapechanged! Into people!

Mona: Dragons can do that, too?

Sisu: (examines herself) This was my sister Pranee's thing. Look at my people arms and my people face. Look how close my butt is to my head!

Haruun: (snickering) That's so silly but funny. (laughing hysterically)

Dang Hai: (chuckles self-consciously) Yeah, it does seem funny to me.

Haruun: (calms down) Oh! Oh, I feel much better after my laughter.

Sisu: Now that you don't have to hide me, getting the rest of the gems is gonna be a breeze.

Raya: Yeah, well, this one was easy, but, unfortunately, the rest of them are being held by a bunch of no-good binturis, Namaaro being the worst one of all.

Namaaro: Binturi? That's not a very nice way to describe an old friend.

[Namaaro appears from nowhere.]

Raya: Namaaro.

Haruun: That's Prince Namaaro? You never told me that.

Mona: Yeah, but, how come you showed him the location of the gem six years ago?

Raya: I have no idea.

Mona: Oh.

Namaaro: What's drippin', dep la? Oh, I see you've finally made a new friend. And here I was so worried that you were gonna end up becoming a cat lady. (smirks) Like me.

[Five serlots arrive growling as Buwan rubs his head on Namaaro's left hand.]

Buwan: (purring)

Dang Hai: As far as I'm concerned, you're actually even worse than a cat person, Binturi.

Sisu: Something tells me you're not besties.

Namaaro: So, what are you up to, anyway? Stealing the gem pieces, are we? Why?

Haruun: You know very well why! To fix the world that you tore apart! I haven't forgotten what you did all those years ago, nor will I ever forgive you!

Namaaro: Hmm. I gotta admit, Chief Haruun, until a few months ago, I thought you and your friends were stone. But then, someone had Fang's dragon scroll from the chancellor.

Raya: Oh, is that why you're chasing us? (tosses the dragon scroll to Namaaro) And here, I thought it was because you missed us. Well, if you want it that bad, then here. We don't need it anymore.

Namaaro: Are you really looking for Sisu? (laughing) What are you, 12?

Haruun: As if you'd ever understand, Binturi! (hissing angrily)

Namaaro: (growling fiercely like a beast)

Raya: Whoa! Easy there, Haruun. Yeah, he's been sore about you ever since what happened 6 years ago, but hey. Who can blame him? Anyway, yeah. We actually were looking for Sisu. Oh, and guess what? We found her. Say hi, Sisu.

Sisu: Hi! It's very nice to meet you, and I love your hair and your cats' hair. (chuckles nervously)

Buwan: (growls softly)

Mona: (sighs) Not like that.

Namaaro: Bring them to me.

General Atitaya: Prince Namaaro, I think the bridge is actually made of wood after it crumbled.

Namaaro: I see. Now do it.

Thau: I think not. You people are chasing the wrong princess. The princess of the Heart Tribe belongs to Khan. He's been looking for her and the other three chiefs.

Namaaro: Oh, I see. I thought we were mistaken. (laughs)

Thau: (grabs Raya with his arm with a knife and walks calmly on the bridge) We'll walk very calmly with the hostage.

Raya: (gets an idea) Dinnertime! (echoes)

[Raya manages to escape from Thau as the five serlots jump over the bridge and then Mona cuts the rope and sets a trap.]

Thau: What? It's like 3:00 in the afternoon. Why would you yell, "dinner"?

[A trap allows sand that was held by the tarp to fall on top of Thau as Raya uses her sword to swing Haruun, Dang Hai, Mona, Namaaro, his men and Sisu back to the other side.]

Raya: Run!

[The group runs and turns back to notice Sisu runs on four legs.]

Mona: Not like that! Two legs!

Sisu: Right!

[The group makes it past the sand and get back to the wall full of Toot N Booms before they notice Thau headed after them, leaving the others no choice but to keep them busy as while Raya, Sisu, Haruun, Dang Hai, Mona, Namaaro and his men went ahead, then Namaaro spreads his arms wide and runs, causing the bugs to fly out and set off colorful explosions, delaying Thau long enough for Raya, Sisu, Namaaro, his men, Haruun, Dang Hai, and Mona to catch up to Tuk Tuk. The scene goes outside the mountain range.]

Raya: Tuk Tuk, roll!

[Tuk Tuk then rolls off the ledge and falls down before he lands and rolls again while Namaari and her men ride on their serlots as Thau follow them in pursuit before Tuk Tuk goes up toward another hill.]

Raya: Jump!

[Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai, Mona and Sisu jump up above a small bridge and landed back on Tuk Tuk.]

Sisu: Who's our new enemy?

Raya: That's Thau, he's the henchman of Khan. And he wants to make sure I belong to Khan.

[The pursuit continues until Raya turns right and the group see Thau riding on a Warg.]

Sisu: Wow, those serlots are really fast, huh?

Raya: And what do serlots, Druun and Wargs have in common?

Sisu: Um, they have no souls while the Druun have become humanoids today?

Raya: And they all hate water.

Sisu: Oh, yes, I see.

Raya: Hold on!

[They speed onward toward the water and splash there while Namaaro and his men go to look for another way there, annoying Thau just as the group gets on-board a ship.]

Raya: Hello?

Haruun: Does anybody serve food here?

[Suddenly, Raya, Sisu, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona are seated by a quite young buy named Boun.]

Boun: Welcome to the world-famous Shrimporium. My name is Boun. I'll be your server today. Would you like to hear our daily specials?

Sisu: Yes, please!

Boun: (salutes to Sisu) We got shrimp, we got congee. We got a shrimp congee that won't quit.

Mona: Normally, I'd love to eat here, but we don't have time for this! Where is the captain?

Boun: Let me go get him. (stands up and then he turns around) What's up, my new customers? I'm Captain Boun, the owner, chef, and chief financial officer of the Shrimporium. How can I help you?

Raya: No way. You're the captain of this boat?

[Raya notices the incoming Thau and the nine Druun humanoid soldiers with Wargs.]

Wargs: (growling and barking)

Sisu: Well, I'm Sisu and...

Dang Hai: And we need to get to my homeland of Talon now.

Boun: I'm sorry, the Shrimporium isn't a water taxi.

Haruun: (presents jade coins to Boun) Will this be enough?

Boun: Toi, that's a lot of jade!

[The horn of Fang is heard as Namaaro and his men and warriors arrive and attack Thau and his soldiers. Boun tries to take the jade coins only for Haruun to move them away.]

Haruun: Ah-ah-ah. Half now, half when we arrive in Talon. Deal?

Boun: (takes half the jade coins) Clasp onto your congee. Today's special is to go.

[Boun moves the dish away from Tuk-Tuk, removing the rope from the wood of the dock and then gets out a stick to push the boat along, but not at a very fast pace.]

Raya: Uh, Captain Boun? Does this thing go any faster?

[Boun notices a fight between the Fang Tribe and the Druun humanoid soldiers.]

Boun: Whoa! You never told me Fang fought the Druun humanoid soldiers! This is gonna cost you extra!

Sisu: Don't worry, I got it. (jumps into the water)

Boun: What's Sisu doing now?

[Sisu morphs into a dragon and then goes to the bottom of the boat and starts shaking her own tail like an engine before the Shrimporium speeds off across the water.]

Boun: Whoa! What's happening?

Raya: My friend's a really strong swimmer.

[Sisu happily swims underwater and then Raya blows a kiss at Namaaro who smirks to Thau. Namaaro sighs as they see Thau and a few Druun humanoids escaping to Khan's base with their Wargs.]

Wargs: (howling)

Raya and Namaaro: Bye-bye, Thau the binturi henchman!

General Atitaya: Prince Namaaro, if they're after the third gem piece, their next stop would be Talon.

Namaaro: Actually, we're not following them to Talon. We're going back to Fang. And I need to speak with my mother, Chief Virana.

[Namaaro turns back and heads out to Fang with his men following her as Buwan roars. The scene fades to the Shrimporium as Sisu swims underwater and passes by a school of fish and then she swims up to the surface.]

Sisu: (emerges from the water and sighs deeply)

Raya: (hushed) Sisu? Sisu?

Mona: Please, you need to get out of the water right now.

Sisu: But I'm just a water dragon. This is water. It's sorta my thing. You wanna come in?

Raya: But you don't understand. Someone could see you.

Sisu: Oh. Do you mean Captain Pop and Lock over there? What, are you scared he's gonna challenge me to a dance battle?

Dang Hai: (whispering) That's not a dance battle and you know that.

[Dang Hai goes in front of Sisu to make sure Boun doesn't see her as he uses utensils like drum sticks while he tries to hide Sisu again before she could show herself and then turns to Sisu.]

Dang Hai: Sisu, we saw what happened when we gave Raya our blessings when she was 12. Can you imagine what they'd do to you if they find out you're just an actual dragon?

Raya: Look, we need you to make this all work. Until we have all the gem pieces, you have to stay human. Please.

Sisu: Wow, you really got some trust issues.

Raya: And for good reason! My father blindly trusted people, and now, look where he is. Turned to stone by a Druun humanoid soldier. The Druun have been under Khan's command during the feast as a young girl. And I've fallen in love with the prince ever since.

[Raya starts to shed tears as Sisu gets out of the water and morphs back to human form.]

Sisu: Hey, we'll get your daddy back. I got you, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona, girl. Come on, who's your dragon? I mean, human. Because I'm gonna be a human until… Yeah, you… You get it.

Raya: (chuckles) Good.

[Boun sets up chairs for the group and prepares some soup.]

Boun: (sets five up) Okay, who's hungry?

Sisu: Oh, I am.

Boun: (prepares some spices) Four house specials. How spicy would you like it? Hot, hotter, or Boun-goes-the-dynamite?

Sisu: Bring on the heat!

Haruun: (stops her) No! I don't think so.

Sisu: Uh, what are you doing?

Haruun: (whispers) We don't know him. It could be poison.

Sisu: Why would he poison us?

Boun: Yeah, why would I poison you?

Mona: First, to steal my niece's purse, second, to steal our swords, and third, for all I know to kidnap Tuk Tuk.

Tuk Tuk: (gives a surprise reaction)

Boun: All good points, but if this is poison, you're gonna die happy.

Dang Hai: Sorry, but no. We're not interested.

(Raya gets out some jackfruit jerky, takes a bite and makes a face before she notices Sisu eating the soup.)

Sisu: This is delicious. By the way, not poison.

Dang Hai: Huh. I guess we were mistaken.

Raya: And even if it isn't poisonous, it is very hot.

Sisu: But it's... (gasping) It's hot. Ooh, it's hot! It's hot! It's really hot! Oh, my! Oh! Water! Boun? Captain Boun? We need water on deck!

Raya: (laughing; to Dang Hai, regarding hot congee) Try it. Just a spoonful.

Dang Hai: I don't like spicy food.

Haruun: Where's the meat?

Dang Hai: (picks up a shrimp and grumbles)

Mona: (to Boun) Have they got any fishes?

Boun: (clicks tongue) Maybe.

Mona: Oh.

[The scene fades up to Namaaro and his men running across the grass until Namaaro stops them for a moment and then sadly moves forward, paying respects to the dragons who were turned to stone before he eventually turns around and forms a circle with his hands as he holds up high. The scene fades up to the beach at Tail as the Druun humanoid warriors grab the Tail soldiers by the necks and throw them to the sand while they growl ferociously. Khan goes over to them, takes the helmet, crushes it and grabs a Tail soldier by the neck.]

Khan: You've been near the Dragon Gem. The scent is on you. Where is it?

Tail Soldier: No soldier or person of the Tail Tribe will ever tell you.

[Khan growls and throws a Tail soldier at a big rock.]

Tail Soldier: (groans) Our people have been suffering from starvation where Fang has to bring more food supply while Raya and the chiefs protect us from the Druun humanoid army.

[Khan deploys a big robotic spider from his arm as it crawls on a Tail soldier's face, chittering.]

Tail Soldier: (shudders) I will never betray my own people.

[A big robotic spider activates a holographic picture of the third gem piece in Talon as a Tail soldier gasps.]

Khan: You already have.

[A big robotic spider deactivates a holographic picture and the scene fades to the river as Raya, Sisu, Haruun, Mona, Dang Hai, Boun and Tuk Tuk see the Druun on the forest and then Tuk Tuk whimpers poorly.]

Raya: I know, buddy.

Boun: You know, during the day, you can almost forget they're here, but at night... this is why I never leave the boat.

Haruun: (chuckles softly) You're one smart kid, Captain.

Boun: Thanks, Uncle Haruun. So, what are Druun, anyways?

Sisu: A plague. Born from human discord. They've always been here. Waiting for a moment of weakness to attack. They're like the opposite of dragons. Instead of bringing water and life to the world, they're like a relentless fire that consumes everything in its wake until there's nothing left except ash and stone.

Boun: They took my family.

Sisu: They took mine, too.

[Sisu picks up a flower and gently taps it onto her forehead and then she places it onto the water with Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai, Mona and Boun who do the same thing.]

Boun: Looks like we're here. So, where are you guys heading after Talon? I might be heading there, too. I mean, for a fee, of course.

Raya: (grins) Of course.

Dang Hai: Well, here we are. Talon, my homeland.

Mona: Just as long as it isn't too expensive.

[The group finally arrives at Talon as the text comes up the same thing.]

Sisu: Wow! What a smart way to Druun-proof your house. Build right on the water. People of Talon are geniuses.

Dang Hai: Yeah. Talon may look nice, but it's a hotspot for pickpockets and con artists.

Sisu: Lucky for me. Empty pockets!

Dang Hai: And good for you. (chuckles)

Raya: Okay, so here's the good news. I know where the gem piece is. The bad news? It's being held by the notorious mother of yours, Dang Hu.

Dang Hai: They say what I literally lack in style, I just make up more than for in intimidation.

Sisu: Gotcha. Now, we're just gonna have to turn up the charm.

Haruun: And what do you mean by that?

Sisu: Let's go get her a gift!

Haruun: Sorry, Sisu, but I think maybe it's safer for you to stay here on the boat.

Sisu: What?

Mona: Well, without you, we couldn't put the gem back together.

Sisu: But I wanna help.

Dang Hai: I know, and you will. By staying safe.

Raya: We'll be back before you know it.

[Raya and Dang Hai start off.]

Boun: If you see any hungry faces, send them my way.

Raya: You got it, Captain Boun.

[As Raya and Dang Hai explore the village, a few Ongis notice them and hide away from Raya, Dang Hai and Tuk Tuk before they smirk as soon as they were far enough away.]

Dang Hai: All right, there's my house.

Raya: Excellent. No detours until we get the third Dragon Gem piece.

Dang Hai: Yes, ma'am.

[Raya and Dang Hai overhear some crying nearby and turn to see a baby as they step forward and then Raya picks it up. The three Ongis turned up as they prompt a growl from Tuk Tuk and then they offer him some food.]

Raya: Uh... hello there. Where's your mother? Petrified to stone? (a baby nods its head) Aww, that's too bad. But don't worry. As long as we get the third gem, we'll be able to bring your mother back.

Dang Hai: You know, Raya, she's actually not that bad for a baby once you get used to her.

Raya: Wait, it's a she?

Dang Hai: Apparently, yes. It's a female baby, and her name is Noi.

Raya: Noi?

Dang Hai: Yep, it's literally hers on her collar. And now we just have to make sure no one knows I'm here for abandoning...

[Dang Hai and Raya turn around to see the Ongis steal the two gem pieces.]

Raya and Dang Hai: What? Ongis? (one of the Ongis chitters)

Raya: Drop them. Drop them!

[The Ongis take off as they give Noi the opportunity to pull the hat down in front of Raya, blocking her view, kicking her back and blinding her with dust as she and the Ongis left with the gem pieces with Noi laughing.]

Raya: (grunts in frustration) Really? A con-baby?

[Raya and Dang Hai go after Noi as Tuk Tuk follows after them. Meanwhile, Sisu is at a loss on what she could do.]

Sisu: Ah, this is giving me bad feels. Dang Hu doesn't sound like someone you could smooth talk. And neither Raya nor Dang Hai even brought a gift. (gets an idea) That's it! I'm going shopping! Oh, wait. I don't have any money.

Boun: You're an adult. You could just put it on credit.

Sisu: Oh. Uh, what's a credit?

Boun: It's kinda like a promise. You take what you want now, and you promise you'll pay it back later.

Sisu: Pay it back later? Huh! What an amazing concept. Thanks, Captain Boun.

[Sisu picks up a paper fish, a necklace display with the necklace, and the outfit and hat.]

Sisu: II'll be buying this with credit. Oh, Dang Hu's gonna love this! Credit, please. Oh, I like that. Uh, yeah, I'll be using credit, yes. I love credit! (chuckles)

Male Talon Merchant: Hey, you! Are you gonna pay for any of that?

Sisu: Oh! Right, right. No, this is on credit. Yeah, I'm gonna pay it back later.

Male Talon Merchant: Pay us back later? We don't know you.

Female Talon Merchant: You have no credit here. Pay us right now.

Sisu: Now? I don't have anything, but if I could just find my girl Raya, she has a sword, dried eats, two Dragon Gem pieces. No, we don't! What? Who said that?

Male Talon Merchant: You better pay up, binturi.

Female Talon Merchant: This isn't a charity.

Male Talon Merchant: Who do you think you're stealing from?

Dang Hu: (exclaiming) Get away from her! Can't you see she's new in town? (two merchants move away) Come, dear. Don't be afraid. It's okay.

[Meanwhile, Raya and Dang Hai still chase Noi and the Ongis as they even run across the bridge with Tuk Tuk forced to stop as he's too big for the bridge before he heads off to the left. By this time, Noi and the Ongis jump off the bridge and land on a boat, which happens to have a male merchant in the boat.]

Male Talon Merchant #2: Hey, watch out!

Dang Hai: Sorry, sir!

[Noi and the Ongis jump off while Raya and Dang Hai notice this and follow them in pursuit another way with Noi and the Ongis flinging the fruit at her by means of catapulting, only for them to be brushed aside by Raya's sword as Raya goes up the stairs so she can get the jump on them from above before she lands in a boat in front of them only for Noi and the Ongis to grab a pole and and fling themselves off with Noi who does a one-hand clapping motion.]

Noi: Bye!

[Noi and the Ongis land with her laughing, setting Raya off as she growls angrily. But that doesn't stop there. Her eyes then become slit-like while her tail sprouts out and her growls turn into that of a beast's before she dashes forward quickly, surprising Dang Hai.]

Dang Hai: Raya! Wait up!

[Dang Hai follows after Raya, who follows after Noi who turns to the former.]

Dang Hai: Watch out!

[Noi deploys her used diaper toward Dang Hai, who dodges it as Raya does.]

Raya: (exclaims) Diaper!

Dang Hai: (shudders) Gross!

[The Ongis quickly help put a new diaper on Noi, who then turns to the others and smacks her right cheek before she and the ongis go through the hole with Raya and Dang Hai relentless in their pursuit before Tuk Tuk managed to stop the thieves in their tracks by slamming the gate on them, knocking them back and looking up to see the livid Raya and Dang Hai.]

Dang Hai: Now give us back the gem pieces please.

[Noi hurriedly gives back the gem pieces to Raya and Dang Hai.]

Dang Hai: You should be very ashamed of yourself, baby lady. Using your mother and baby charm to rip people off, much less try to steal them, that's a dirty move. (Noi exclaims indignantly) What would your family think about any of this?

Raya: She doesn't have a family.

Dang Hai: Oh. Right.

Raya: We can't just leave her like this.

Dang Hai: (sighs) I know, but what are we gonna do?

[One of the Ongis shows a splinter to Raya.]

Raya: Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. Hmm. (gets an idea) Hey! Dang Hai!

Dang Hai: What is it, Raya?

Raya: How would you like to earn an honest loot for a change?

Noi: Gah?

Dang Hai: Go on.

[Later the guards were present when Dang Hai shows up.]

Dang Hai: Guards! Help! Please! I really need your help! It's my wife and daughter! I can't find them! They've disappeared!

Talon Guard 1: Your wife and daughter? Don't worry, Dang Hai! We'll get right on it!

Talon Guard 2: Can you tell us where you saw your wife and daughter?

Dang Hai: (nervously) I don't know, somewhere in the marketplace. I can show you guys the way.

Talon Guard 1: Then that's where we'll look first. To me, men!

[The guard runs with the others following him who follows Dang Hai who looks back to see Raya before he winks to her and turns back. After that, Raya bursts in and steps toward a sort of figure up front.]

Raya: All right, Dang Hu. Hand over that Dragon Gem piece and no one has to get hurt.

[The figure turns around, reveals to not quite be the woman she's looking for.]

Chai: Whoa! I'm not Dang Hu.

Raya: What? You're not... Who are you, then?

Chai: I'm Chai, the flower guy. And I'm a friend of Dang Hai.

Raya: Then where's Dang Hu?

Chai: (chuckles) She's actually with Sisudatu.

Raya: (in puzzlement) Oh! So, that's how Dang Hu's with Sisu. Wait a minute, Sisu should have stayed at the boat, shouldn't she?

Chai: Well, technically, yes. She should have. Maybe his mother's got the third gem piece, though.

Raya: Oh. Well, thank you very much, Chai.

Chai: No problem, Princess. Go find her.

[Meanwhile, Sisu and Dang Hu walk together.]

Sisu: Those folks were, like, crazily angry. I just wanted to bring some gifts to the Talon chief Dang Hai.

Dang Hu: Is that who you're looking for, dear? I know exactly where he is.

Sisu: You do?

Dang Hu: Mm-hmm.

Sisu: See? That's what I've been trying to tell my girl Raya and my boy Banja. And they're all like, 'You can't trust people.' 'Don't talk to anyone.' 'I only eat terrible foods I dried myself.'

[The drawbridge lowers itself.]

Dang Hu: (chuckles) Come, dear. Chief Dang Hai is just outside the city, beyond the gates.

Sisu: Away from the water, huh? Wow. He really likes living on the edge.

Haruun: Stop! Get away from her! Oh, I'm really sorry about this, Dang Hu. I just thought it was such a crazy idea of Sisu to do that.

Dang Hu: Um, who might you be?

Haruun: I'm Chief Haruun of the Spine Tribe.

Dang Hu: At your service, Chief Haruun.

Mona: And I'm Chief Mona of the Tail Tribe.

Dang Hu: Good to see you, Chief Mona.

[Suddenly, the door opens.]

Dang Hu: Who's there?

Sisu: Oh, hey there, Dang Hai. I'm Sisudatu, and I've come to offer you some...

[Sisu sees only someone turned to stone, much to her puzzlement and worry before she hears an unsettling sound and sees Khan headed right for her.]

Sisu: (in surprise) Khan?!

Dang Hu: Now you're gonna tell me where I can find those other Dragon Gem pieces, or I'll have to leave you outside with that thing. Take your pick.

Sisu: But I... I trusted you!

Dang Hu: (smirks) Big mistake. You better talk fast. It looks hungry.

[The doors start to close before Khan charges in only to pass Sisu and then stop near Dang Hu.]

Khan: Where's the princess warrior?

Dang Hu: How do you know you're not looking at her?

Khan: (laughing) Do you think I'm such a fool? I know you're not the princess warrior, none of you! I heard how the gem was starting to come back together, all thanks to a young warrior unlike anything the world has ever seen.

[Khan sees Raya and Dang Hai along with Noi and the Ongis riding on Tuk Tuk as they go up the stairs quickly.]

Sisu: Raya? Raya! Dang Hai!

Dang Hu: Stop her!

Dang Hai: Sorry, mother! I need this! (takes the third gem piece from Dang Hu) Thank you very much.

Raya: Sisu, I told you to stay on the boat.

Sisu: Sorry!

[Sisu develops fog before Tuk Tuk speeds out the gates with Khan stepping out, turning Dang Hu's guards into stone and noticing the group leaving quickly.]

Dang Hu: No!

Raya: Okay, that's three down, two to go.

[Raya grins, not knowing that Khan has already seen what happened to Raya as he gives chase and he grabs Sisu by the neck and slams her into a tree.]

Sisu: (struggling)

Khan: You can't escape.

Sisu: I'm not trying to.

[Sisu strangles Khan as he throws her to the ground. Sisu groans as Khan attempts to kill her, but Haruun shows up as he duels Khan with his ax. He tries to slash Haruun's neck, but Haruun dodges as he makes a swipe kick at Khan. Khan falls to the ground as he groans in pain and Haruun gets on just in time and then Khan growls steadily with a smirk.]

Khan: So that's her name. Princess Raya. Finally, the most worthy opponent. Once I kill almighty Sisu and take all the gem pieces, our battle will be legendary!

[Khan sets out to turn the rest of Talon to stone as Dang Hu watches in shock. The scene goes to the group leaving Talon and boarding the Shrimporium.]

Raya: All right, Captain Boun. Next stop, Spine...

[Raya has to duck beneath a bowl tossed away as Noi and the Ongis start eating.]

Boun: Thanks for the new customers!

Mona: Yeah, I sort of promised to buy them all the congee they could eat.

Boun: Well, we're stuck with them for a while 'cause Ongis have nine stomachs.

Haruun: (sighs) Oh, toi.

Dang Hai: Well, you promised.

Haruun: I know what I did.

Sisu: (in disbelief) I can't believe it. That old lady was really gonna hurt me.

Dang Hai: Well, I'm sorry, Sisu, but that's what the world is now. You can't trust anyone. Not anymore.

[Sisu sighs and turns to Dang Hai.]

Sisu: Does that include babies?

Haruun: Well, they're more like the exception of the rule. Turns out, they've been through the same amount of hardships as us.

Sisu: Oh. Well, in that case, she's so cute. I mean, look at those cheeks.

[Noi goes for Sisu's cheeks and mumbles.]

Dang Hai: Aw, she wants to know what your name is.

Sisu: Hello, I'm Sisudatu or Sisu for short.

[Noi tries to speak her name and then she laughs as she climbs up while Dang Hai feels intrigued a bit to say the least.]

Dang Hai: (chuckles) Funny. That's the name of the dragon that saved all of humanity.

Sisu: (in a slight muffle) She loves my face.

Dang Hai: Yeah, just make sure she doesn't steal your teeth.

Raya: Here, let me help you.

Sisu: Oh, that's so sweet. (Noi mumbles) Okay, that's, uh… That's too much sweet… Too much sweetness. It's too much!

[Raya laughs as the group falls in. The scene goes to Khan who returns to the base as Thau shows up.]

Thau: The Dragon Searchers, master. We've lost them. Ambushed by the Fang tribe, we were...

Khan: I don't want excuses. I want the head of the Princess of Heart!

Thau: But there was nothing we could do! I barely escaped with my life!

Khan: Far better you had... paid with it. Make no mistake, the Dragon Searchers will dearly pay for their mistakes. They'll eventually show themselves soon enough when they've traveled to the Spine Tribe. Send out word there's a price on all of their heads!

Thau: Yes, master Khan.

[Thau rides on a Warg to the Spine Tribe and Cho appears in a water-like hologram.]

Cho: Khan, tell me what you've learned.

Khan: Three gem pieces found and alive. With the Dragon Gem completely reassembled, I've been able to finish killing Sisudatu the last dragon.

Cho: (not concerned with such a trivial matter) Where are the fourth and fifth gem pieces?

Khan: The Druun humanoid army senses its presence and searches for the fourth and the fifth. The fourth piece is in the Spine Tribe while the fifth piece has been on the staff being held by Chief Virana of the Fang Tribe.

Cho: (gestures for him to leave) Go. Interrogate the Spine Tribe before the Princess of Heart does. Tell them where the fourth and fifth gem pieces are.

Khan: (coldly) They will tell me what they know, or I will rip it from them. A war is coming to Kumandra whether they like it or not. And I'm bringing the wrath of the five tribes with me.

[The scene fades up to the next morning as the Druun humanoid army wander around in wildlife, although unable to get to the palace itself beyond it: the Palace of Fang as the text comes up: Fang. The scene cuts to the throne room.]

General Atitaya: Chief Virana, Chancellor Hing, we're running out of room. We need to expand to the mainland.

Virana: And how do you propose we handle the Druun, General Atitaya? Without proper protection, it would be a death sentence for our people.

Namaaro: I might have a solution for that, Mother.

Virana: (turns around to see Namaaro and gasps softly) Namaaro, my sweet, little morning mist.

[Virana and Chancellor Hing hug Namaaro.]

Chancellor Hing: It's good to see you home, Prince Namaaro. So, you have any information on Raya and her group of Dragon Searchers?

Namaaro: Yes, I have. They've been out stealing other gem pieces. The other two in Tail and Talon.

Chancellor Hing: They have? Are you sure about this, Prince Namaaro?

Namaaro: Yes, Chancellor. I'm sure of it.

Chancellor Hing: Well, I think that might sound dangerous, but you should know that we have more time precisely before Khan prepares for an attack on our kingdom.

Namaaro: And that's not all, Chancellor. Khan's about to interrogate the Spine Tribe and tell them where the other gem pieces are or he'll rip it from them.

Virana: (scoffs) Well, if they're going into Spine, I doubt there'll be much left of them to intercept.

Namaaro: They're more capable than you realize. We have to stop them before Khan does.

Virana: (sighs) Walk with me.

[The scene cuts to Virana, Hing and Namaaro walking out.]

Virana: Look around. We made all this by making smart decisions, not emotional ones. We are safe. Our canal protects us from those monsters. I don't think it's wise to risk yourself when you don't have to.

Namaaro: But you heard the general. We're running out of space. We need to expand. If we had all the gem pieces, we could do that safely. You're right. This isn't an emotional decision. It's the only decision we can make to secure Fang's future.

Virana: (chuckles softly) Namaaro, you're truly growing into the leader I just raised you to be. General Atitaya, ready the royal army for my son's command. (thumps her staff)

Namaaro: Thank you, Mother. I won't let you down.

Chancellor Hing: Oh, and Namaaro.

Namaaro: Yes, chancellor?

Chancellor Hing: There's something you should know before you go.

Namaaro: What's that?

Chancellor Hing: Talon had been turned to stone. If we allow this to continue, it could be the end of Kumandra. I fear more attacks will follow.

Virana: Who's responsible for this?

Chancellor Hing: Khan, Chief Virana. He's one of Quynh's conquerors of the Druun Empire and he leads the Druun humanoid army.

General Wahn: If I may, Chief Virana.

Virana: You may speak.

General Wahn: Khan fights alongside a henchman named Thau. His chi is beyond imagining.

Chancellor Hing: There is no place for henchmen in this kingdom. It is forbidden to use the power of chi in destructive ways.

General Wahn: And yet, it is his skill that leads the Druun army to victory. He has trained an elite force of Druun warriors to assist Khan the conqueror.

Virana: We're not afraid of dark magic. We'll destroy this Druun army and their conqueror and henchman. Here's my decree. We'll order the people to take shelter until it'll be all over. We'll protect our beloved tribe and crush these murderers. Travel to the Spine Tribe. The dynasty will never be threatened.

Namaaro: As you wish. Follow me to the Spine Tribe.

General Wahn and General Atitaya: (in unison) Yes, Prince Namaaro.

[The scene fades up to the Shrimporium as a piece of shrimp lands on the map, puzzling Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona as they notice Noi and the Ongis eating away.]

Boun: Hey! Stop eating!

[Boun chases them away with some spice landing in some of Tuk Tuk's food.]

Mona: No, wait! That food is spiced!

[Tuk Tuk stops too late as he gets a very spicy taste and spits the food out into the water.]

Raya: Sorry, buddy. I got this. (stands up and sees the commotion)

Boun: Did you just throw a shrimp at me? That's not even edible!

Haruun: Hey! Uh... Hey, everyone?

Boun: Don't look at me like that, you fuzzy garbage can!

Haruun: Everyone! Would you like to play hide-and-seek? (Noi and the Ongis nod their heads) All right. Ready? One. Two. (Noi and the Ongis hide in various spots)

Boun: Thanks.

Haruun: Two and a half. Three.

Raya: Remind me to never have kids.

Sisu: Being people is hard.

Raya: Yep.

Sisu: You have small heads, no tails. You lie to get what you want, like his mother, Dang Hu, back there.

Raya: Not me. And certainly not Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona, either. And can you blame them? The world's broken now. You can't trust anyone anymore these days.

Sisu: Or maybe the world's broken because you don't trust anyone.

Raya: (chuckles softly) You know, you're beginning to sound just like my father.

Sisu: Well, he sounds like a smart man.

Raya: Yeah, he was. I really wanted to believe him. I really wanted to believe that we could be Kumandra again.

Sisu: And we can.

Raya: My father and thousands of people turned into stone would argue otherwise. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. And you know what happened? Namaaro gave me the dragon pendant as a gift during the feast. Look around. We're the world of orphans because people did the best they could when Khan appeared and shot my father's knee with an arrow. Wanna know why other dragons didn't come back? It's because people don't deserve them.

Sisu: But you change that.

Raya: No, Sisu, I'm done trying. You think it's that easy to make something change and then suddenly start making life get better like rainbows and kittens? It's not, nor will it ever be! I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Kumandra's a fairy tale. The only thing important to me now is bringing my father back and nothing is gonna get in the way of that. Nothing You don't even know what we've been through.

Mona: Your father was right, Raya. We all met with each other and realized that we should have come together.

Raya: Yeah, I can totally understand that.

Haruun: Hey, I think we're in Spine, my homeland.

[Sisu grabs the congee pot and hops on the stump to cross.]

Boun: Hey, my congee!

Raya: Sisu! Wait up!

[Raya, Haruun, Mona and Dang Hai follow Sisu as the scene goes to the mountains and the text comes up: "Spine". The scene goes to Sisu who has arrived at the gate then Raya, Haruun, Mona and Dang Hai have arrived.]

Haruun: Sisu, wait, I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Sisu: Oh, come on. There's nothing wrong with Spine when I have to grab the handle.

Raya: Don't! It could be a trap or some sort.

Sisu: (blows a raspberry) Please, there's nothing wrong with Spine, anyway.

Mona and Dang Hai: Sisu, wait, don't...

[Sisu grabs the handle and gets captured by the big net along with Raya, Haruun, Mona and Dang Hai.]

Sisu: In hindsight, maybe I was a little hasty, but, uh, who's hungry? No? I'll leave you four alone.

Dang Hai: Really? A little hasty?

[The scene cuts to black as the text comes up: "Earlier" and the scene fades up to Tail where Mona, Dang Hai and Haruun teach young Raya how to become the bravest princess warrior.]

Mona: Attention, this is Khan. He's the conqueror of Quynh of the Druun Empire. He's not what you'd expect so he'll be much stronger than before. If everything goes wrong, all of Kumandra will be extinct and the age of the Druun Empire will soon begin in six years. And now, you'll be fearless, you'll be courageous, you'll be brave, you'll be great, and eventually, you'll be mighty. We're gonna show you the ways of becoming the bravest princess warrior in Kumandra.

[Young Raya takes a deep breath as Haruun does the moves while he spins his ax and then he stops.]

Haruun: Begin!

[Young Raya does the same thing as Haruun.]

Haruun: That's it, you're doing amazing.

[The scene goes to young Raya who carries a bow and an arrow as she aims at a straw target.]

Dang Hai: Ready? Fire!

[Young Raya fires three arrow at a straw target but lands on the sand.]

Dang Hai: Hmm.

[The scene cuts to the mountain with stairs as young Raya fills two buckets with water.]

Mona: Remember, only the strongest will reach the summit. It'll take everything you have.

[Young Raya tries to reach the mountain but begins to feel exhausted.]

Young Raya: (grunting)

Mona: Straighten out your arms. Keep them up, shoulder level. Keep your mind strong. Don't stop!

Young Raya: (sniffles while she sits after she tried)

Mona: (to Haruun) Is she crying?

Young Raya: (crying)

[The scene cuts to Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona who have time to think for a couple of seconds and then the scene cuts to young Raya who carries a bow and an arrow again.]

Dang Hai: Fire!

[Young Raya fires an arrow as an arrow impacts the straw target.]

Young Raya: (gasps) I did it!

Dang Hai: (chuckles) Of course you did it. Perfect aiming.

[The scene goes to Haruun who cooks grilled fish for Raya as Dang Hai adds a pinch of salt while Mona adds a pinch of pepper to it. Haruun serves it to young Raya. The scene goes to three years later as Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona do ninjutsu moves while they grunt in unison. The scene cuts to Raya who shoots the straw target with three arrows then cuts to Raya who does push-ups and sit-ups then cuts to Raya and Haruun who clash their arnis sticks until they're finished as they drink water to rehydrate.]

Mona: Congratulations, Raya. You've completed your training, almost. It's lunch time. I cooked you up some meat with a side of rice with good sauce.

[The scene cuts to Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona who have lunch.]

Haruun: I have a brother in law named Tong. He's the biggest, fearsome warrior of Spine. And I believe he has an eye patch. But I don't care what he looks like.

Young Raya: I agree.

Haruun: I care what Tong cooks like.

[The laughter dies.]

Young Raya: Oh, yeah, that's really funny, though. (chuckles)

Dang Hai: I have a wife and she's carrying a baby while pregnant. I believe it might be a boy or a girl.

Mona: I couldn't agree more, though.

Haruun: Hey, Raya. There's something I've been meaning to ask you.

Young Raya: Yes?

Haruun: If you've reached the summit, would you be able to be the bravest warrior to complete your training?

Young Raya: Well, I believe I would.

Haruun: Your chi seems strong, Raya. And chi means everything to us, and even to you. I say this to protect Kumandra, and that's your own oath. Your oath is to protect all of Kumandra from the dangers of the Druun. Do you think you can do that?

Young Raya: (hesitates) Yes, Haruun.

[The scene fades to Raya who turns 18 as she does the karate moves with Mona.]

Haruun: (voiceover) The chi pervades the universe and all living things. We've all been born with it. But only the most true will connect deeply to the chi and become the bravest warrior. Whoever reassembles the Dragon Gem could bring all of Kumandra back to life.

[The scene cuts to Mona who gives attention to Raya.]

Mona: The Druun enemy is all vast. They've been ruthless and unpredictable. Yet physical force need not be met with equal force. The warrior yields to force and redirects it. Disadvantage can be turned into an advantage. Four ounces can move a thousand pounds.

[The scene cuts to Raya who spins her arnis stick as it hits the ground then cuts to the mountain as Raya scoops two buckets with water as she begins to walk up the stairs while she breathes heavily. Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona see Raya walking up the stairs as Raya makes it to the top of the mountain and exhales deeply.]

Haruun: She did it. She made it to the top.

Dang Hai: Wow. She did an amazing work.

Mona: She's the bravest princess warrior in Kumandra now.

Raya: (breathes deeply)

[The scene cuts to Raya who pays attention to Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona.]

Haruun: You've been practicing very nicely, and you've completed your training by walking up the stairs to the mountain perfectly. You've been the guardian of the Dragon Gem. Today, you become the bravest princess warrior. Draw sword!

[Raya draws her sword.]

Haruun: Peaceful.

Raya: Peaceful!

Dang Hai: Love.

Raya: Love!

Dang Hai: Hope.

Raya: Hope!

Haruun: Return sword! In!

[Raya returns her sword.]

Haruun: Congratulations, Princess Raya.

[The scene fades up to a sort of hut as text comes up: "Now" and then the bag was removed from Raya, Sisu, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona.]

Raya: Wait a minute, where are we?

[Fire crackles in the fireplace as they notice their weapons far from where they are.]

Haruun: (sighs) Well, that's just great.

[Tong steps forward and crashes the door open as the group gasps. Tong has a black eye patch on his left eye and wears heavy clothing to keep him warm due to the cold weather of Spine. He also has leather boots that seem to have been made in a rush, a red cloth tied around his waist, a fang to replace a button on his fur jacket, and a Dragon Gem shard on his necklace while he raises his axe and presses it against his shoulder.]

Mona: So, let me guess. You're the new leader of Spine, right?

Tong: And you five must be dung of brain to think you could steal the Dragon Gem of Spine. (closes the door and tosses his axe toward the wall)

Raya: Gem? Who said anything about gems? We have no interest in gems.

[Tong lifts the bag up and reveals three gem pieces inside.]

Raya: Okay, yeah, I can see how that makes me look like a liar.

Sisu: Actually, I think it was the lying that made you look like a liar.

Dang Hai: Well, she's not wrong there.

Tong: (laughing villainously)

Sisu: I'm not sure that's funny.

Mona: I don't think it was ever funny.

Tong: Your fear is like delectable nectar feeding the tum-tum of my soul. It's good. Tastes like... (sniffs) mango.

Dang Hai: Wait. Mango?

Sisu: Oh, I love mango.

Tong: Of course you love mango! Only a tongue-less cretin wouldn't.

Sisu: Oy vey.

Haruun: 'Oy vey' is right.

Tong: Haruun?

Haruun: Tong?

Haruun and Tong: It is you!

Dang Hai: I heard so much about you. Didn't think you were real.

Tong: I'm real when it's useful.

Mona: I see. So, you're Haruun's brother-in-law, right?

Tong: Yes, I'm his brother-in-law. It's been such a long time since I've last peered into the eyes of a trembling enemy. Where has the time gone? It's been so long.

Dang Hai: Sounds like you've been through a lot, too.

Sisu: I know, right? He seems lonely.

Tong: No! I'm not lonely. I'm a Spine warrior. I was born and bred to do only one thing. To invoke fear and to crush the skulls of my enemies!

Mona: Uh, actually, that's two things.

[Tong growls aggressively as he takes trio aback some before he laughs.]

Tong: Look at your face!

Dang Hai: Look. What do you plan on doing with us?

Tong: Oh, it's gonna be bad. Horrifying! It'll take me, like, two weeks to clean up!

Raya: You really have no idea, do you?

Tong: Yes, I do. I'm formulating this gruesome plan in my head… Makes me sick just thinking about it. You… You just wait. Until then, why don't you just hang around? Good one, huh?

[Tong laughs again just as Tuk Tuk exclaims and bursts through the door and knocks him into the pole.]

Boun: Ongis, tie him up!

[The Ongis tie Tong up with Tuk Tuk growling at Tong.]

Tong: Huh?

Boun: Let them go now!

Noi: (harrumphs)

Tong: A little one?

[Boun sets Raya, Sisu, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona free.]

Sisu: All right!

Raya: Phew! Good work, Captain Boun.

Boun: Thanks. And look who came to help. Prince Namaaro, your groom.

Raya: Namaaro?

Namaaro: Hello, Princess.

Raya: I'm glad you came here just in time.

Haruun: Uh, excuse me, that's my brother-in-law.

Boun: You have a brother-in-law?

Haruun: Yes.

Raya: I see. So, what's your name?

Tong: The moniker given to me is Tong.

Haruun: I mentioned his name earlier.

Boun and Namaaro: Wow.

Haruun: Tell me something. Where's your wife and daughter?

Tong: I think they took shelter while the people were safe from the Druun humanoids. But now there's just one problem. They fly over the gate and Khan has infiltrated the village and interrogated the people.

Raya: Really?

[Raya, Sisu, Namaaro, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona see Khan interrogating the people of the Spine Tribe.]

Khan: I grow tired of your silence. Now tell me, where's the fourth gem piece?

Druun Humanoids: (chittering)

People of Spine: (whimpering)

Female Spine Warrior: Please, we have families.

Khan: Then you have weakness.

Namaaro: (whispers) Khan.

Tong: Okay, I'm guessing that's the bad guy.

Raya: Good guess.

Boun: I'm really, really missing my family right now.

Raya: Circle to the other side. We'll surround them and surprise him.

[The scene goes to a distorted holographic image from a big robotic spider.]

Female Spine Warrior: (shuddering)

Khan: You have been near the Dragon Gem. The scent is on you.

Female Spine Warrior: I don't know what you're talking about.

Khan: Where is it?

Male Spine Warrior: Leave her alone! She... She doesn't know.

[Khan throws a female Spine warrior to the snow.]

Female Spine Warrior: (groans)

People of Spine: (exclaiming)

Male Spine Warrior: (struggling)

Khan: You carry the scent too, but stronger.

Male Spine Warrior: I'd rather die before I tell you.

Khan: You'll die if you don't.

Haruun: (yells) No!

[Haruun throws his axe and charges at Khan as he crushes the robot spider with his bare hands.]

Male Spine Warrior: Chief Haruun.

Khan: Kill them both.

[Raya charges at a Druun humanoid soldier who's ready to kill Haruun and his Spine warriors and she kills it with her sword.]

Raya: Hello, Khan. It's been six years since I've tried to find you.

Khan: Ah, Princess Raya. I've seen you grew up as a princess warrior. But stronger than before. You and the other dragon gem pieces are coming with me.

Namaaro: I'm not going anywhere with you. Neither is Raya. Not even the dragon gem pieces. People of Spine, take shelter.

[Namaaro's army ready their weapons while the people of Spine take shelter.]

Khan: (chuckles) I knew you couldn't handle this by yourself. All see it clearly now. Without your army, without your reinforcements... you're nothing but a worthless prince.

Namaaro: (scoffs) We'll see about that. Attack!

[Raya, Namaaro and Khan clash their weapons while the Spine warriors attack the Druun humanoid soldiers up until Raya uses her sword like a whip and removes it from Khan.]

Raya: (smirks) Oh, I'm sorry. Did you need that, binturi?

Khan: (kicks Raya back and takes her sword) Nope.

Namaaro: All right, then. Fists.

Khan: Hold! The princess will be mine.

Raya: I belong to no one.

[Raya and Namaaro charge toward Khan as they have upper hand against him until he suddenly stops her kick and then tosses Raya to the ground with Namaaro who gets back up.]

Khan: Why are you retrieving the gem pieces?

Raya: Because you tore the world apart, and I'm gonna fix it if it's the last thing I do!

[Raya charges torward Khan again and then tries to attack only for Khan to dodge her and then attack her, knocking her down to the ground, but not without Namaaro putting up a fight before he glares at him.]

Khan: Last chance, Raya. Why are you retrieving the gem pieces?

Raya: I'm gonna have to tell Chief Virana that you'll have to pay for what you did to Chief Benja of the Heart Tribe so we can put the gem and Kumandra back together!

[Raya moves in to strike only for Khan to kick her away as Raya exclaims in pain while Sisu notices with worry.]

Sisu: (gasps) Oh, no. Raya!

Raya: Even if you take me, you still have Namaaro to deal with.

[Khan goes over to Raya and picks her up by the shirt.]

Khan: (chuckles) Oh, we'll find her. It's only a matter of time until we do, and we're gonna have some fun.

[Khan seems ready to strike Raya. But suddenly, a blue fog appears as Sisu appears in her dragon form and scares the Druun humanoids by spewing fog. She stops as she glares at Khan with a growl and roars again.]

Sisu: (angrily) Stay away from my princess!

[Namaaro picks up and sees Sisu. Haruun, Tong, Noi, the Ongis, Dang Hai, Boun and Mona look at Sisu with amazement. Namaaro has widened his eyes and looks surprised, if not tearful, as he prompts Sisu to lighten his glare with Raya, shocked as she was, catching up to the others as best she could.]

Sisu: On your knees. (Khan kneels down) Lower. (Khan lowers his knees) I am Sisudatu, the last dragon. And you, Khan the Conqueror, will give me the kiss of peace.

[Khan shudders his breath and gives Sisu the kiss of peace. Sisu punishes Khan by striking him down to the ground four times. Chen groans quietly.]

Namaaro: (salutes to Sisu) Almighty Sisu. (walks over to Khan)

Khan: (looks at Namaaro) What are you looking at?

Namaaro: A dead man. Chen the Conqueror, you are guilty and exiled. (to Raya) Princess, take good care of yourself. We'll return when you have a visit of Fang.

Raya: (hugs Namaaro) I will. Meet us at the cliff by sunrise.

Namaaro: We will. (hops on Buwan) Wahn, Atitaya, everybody, let's go home.

[Wahn, Atitaya, and the warriors hop onto the serlots as they ride back to Fang.]

Raya: Yep, she's definitely a dragon. Let's go, come on!

[Sisu looks back one bit as she blows a kiss at Namaaro. Khan wakes up and cracks his joints and realizes something.]

Khan: Wait. I just realize something. (sees the fog and smells it) She's here. In this world.

[Khan draws Sisu as he breathes heavily and roars in frustration as he flies back to his base. Later, while they travel away from Spine, Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona have been hit suddenly by four shrimp tails.]

Raya: Hey! Did you just hit us with shrimp tails?

Boun: When were you all gonna tell me she was Sisu? And that your friend can turn into a dragon?

Raya: Well, technically, you always knew she was Sisu.

[A shrimp tail has been tossed at Raya.]

Mona: Seriously?

Dang Hai: Look, no one has ever given us a reason to trust anyone again, especially not Namaaro! And before now, we couldn't even trust you guys not to attack her as soon as you found out she's a dragon!

Sisu: Why would we wanna do that?

Haruun: Oh, I don't know, to-to kill him? Take him hostage, even?! For all I know, you might as well use him as a bargaining chip to claim those gem fragments for yourselves!

[Tong, Noi, the Ongis and Boun gasp at these accusations before even Haruun realizes he went too far and sighs deeply.]

Haruun: Look. I'm sorry. Really, I am. In case you haven't even noticed, I am having a lot of trust issues lately, especially since Raya and I found out that Sisu was the last dragon and never even bothered to tell us!

Boun: Whoa. Okay, that's surprising, too.

Mona: The point is, we've been through a lot 6 years ago. You all know that. But... now that I know for certain that you can be trusted after all..., I guess you would've found out sooner or later.

Boun: About what? Sisu being a dragon? Or Sisu being your solicitor?

Dang Hai: The former. And I'd appreciate it if you don't bring up the latter right now.

Tong: Why are you here anyway, divine water dragon?

Sisu: Isn't that obvious, big guy? My girl... er, friends, Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai, Mona, and I are gonna fix the world and bring everyone back.

[Tong, Noi, the Ongis, and Boun think briefly.]

Boun: You're gonna bring everyone back? I'd like to help.

Mona: I'm sorry, we can't let you do that. It's far too dangerous.

Boun: You're not just the only one who lost family to the Druun. Please let me help you. (kneels down and salutes to Sisu)

Noi and the Ongis: (salutes to Sisu)

Tong: (holds the gem piece in his hands) I too wish to join the fellowship of Druun meat-kickery.

Haruun: That's my brother-in-law.

[Tong places the gem shard down on Sisu's hands as suddenly the rain comes down from the sky.]

Sisu: (whispers) My big brother Pengu's magic.

Raya: Then walk, Sisu. It's time.

[Sisu reaches her hand out to touch the raindrop as she smiles. The raindrops stop and form into one. Sisu creates the platform from the platform and runs off to the sky. They all watch her run in the raindrop gracefully as Sisu touches the platform she has run off to. Tuk Tuk reaches his tongue out to taste the raindrop. Noi happily touches the rain and Tong lifts her up with his hands to make her enjoyed more. Raya watches Sisu fly up as she feels the warmth of the sunlight touches her skin. Sisu closes her eyes and she lets herself down on the river. Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona quickly watches Sisu and the water splashes on Tong and Haruun. Tong and Haruun laugh with everyone else laughing before Sisu goes up from the river and sees Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai, and Mona, the former of which smiles greatly while the only latter only gives a small one and then SIsu sighs.]

Sisu: All right, Captain Boun. To Fang!

Boun: You got it! Fang it is! (directs his boat to Fang)

[The scene goes to Raya who comes up with a plan.]

Raya: All right, everyone. Here's the plan. The last gem piece is in Fang, the most heavily guarded of the five lands. Now, they're protected by an artificial canal that separates them from the rest of the world. The only way in or out is by water. Luckily for us, we have a magic water dragon. Now, the palace will be swarming with Fang soldiers. To sneak past them, we'll need to...

Haruun: Everybody, we got this. We'll take care of the first wave. Tong and I will follow up with our giant axes of bad-axery. Along with Sisu's crazy powers. Xian and Boun will attack the soldiers and the generals. And then come Dang Hai, the Ongis and that crazy con-baby, who will toss the gem to the Mighty Sisudatu. And then, (mimics Sisu growling) bye-bye, binturis. Super flow plan, am I correct?

Sisu: Well...

Raya: Actually, no. Yeah, that's not flow. That's a clog.

Sisu: I agree. Here's my plan. We infiltrate Fang, meet with Namaari, and offer her something nice and go, "Hey! Wanna help us save the world? Because all it takes is one gem piece." (speaks as Namaari) "Yes! I've been waiting for someone to ask me! Here you go!" (speaks in a normal voice) "Best friends forever!"

[Raya, Haruun, Tong, Noi, the Ongis, Dang Hai, Boun and Mona give Sisu a weirded out look.]

Dang Hai: Yeah, I think I'd rather go with Boun's plan.

Sisu: Wait, what? (Boun fist bumps)

Boun: Yes!

Sisu: Wait, why?

Raya: Because it's Fang.

Tong: Their blades are specially designed for the stabbing of backs.

Boun: If it weren't for them, none of this would have happened. They're the worst.

[Noi mumbles in agreement.]

Sisu: If we're just honest with her, deep down, I have a feeling she wants to fix the world as much as we do.

Raya: You weren't there when my uncles and aunt gave me their blessings.

Mona: But, fellas, maybe Sisu's right.

[Everyone looks at Mona with surprise.]

Raya: What?

Haruun: I honestly don't believe that Fang is as bad as we make them out to be.

Tong: You're nuts.

Boun: Yeah, Yen, no offense, but Fang is downright evil. (Mona frowns)

Raya: We're sticking with my plan, and that's final!

[Sisu frowns as she makes the rain fall down heavily.]

Raya: Whoa. Uh... What's with the down pour?

Sisu: Raya, Mona, Dang Hai, Haruun, get on my back.

[Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona hop on Sisu's back.]

Sisu: Come on! I need to show you all something.

[Sisu grabs Raya as she runs in the air, leaving Tong, Boun, Noi, the Ongis and Tuk Tuk behind.]

Boun: So, what do we do now?

Tong: I don't know.

Raya: Where are you taking us?

[The scene goes to the sky as Sisu runs to Heart as the camera turns to Heart and the text comes up: "Heart". Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, and Tail Chief look at the bridge as they saw Benja as a statue. Sisu carries Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai, and Mona to the broken chamber that once held the dragon gem. Sisu drops Raya down as she lets her, Mona, Dang Hai and Haruun slide down gently.]

Raya: Sisu, why did you bring us here?

Sisu: This is where it all happened.

Spine Chief: Yeah, I know. We were there. I think I heard there's an attack coming.

Raya: Not coming, Haruun. It's already here.

Sisu: No, this is where it all happened 500 years ago.

[Sisu removes the vine, revealing the statue of the dragon. Their eyes widen as they walk with her.]

Sisu: I want you guys to meet my brothers and sisters. The real mighty ones. I miss them.

Mona: We never even knew they were here.

[Raya, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona salute to the statues.]

Sisu: See that classy-looking one over there? That's Amba. I get my glow from her. And that's Pranee. She's a shapeshifter. Jagan, fog. And Pengu. He's our big brother. He brings the rain. We were the last dragons.

Haruun: The Druun came here once. Long ago.

Sisu: Yes, and that was 500 years ago.

[The flashback starts with the people and the dragons preparing for war.]

Sisu: (voiceover) A soulless being appeared from the ground, laying waste to all who opposed it. The leader of the Druun was the dark dragon called Quynh. A name feared and cursed in every land. Quynh was met in battle by Kumandra's people and dragons. When Quynh turned his own heart, he wanted to have a plan by creating the Druun, a group of evil soulless being spirits. People before their separation into the five tribes. Their histories had taught them not to trust each other, not to hope for an alliance, but to fight apart.

[Quynh picks up the dirt, dumps it, uses his weapon, yells and slams it to the ground, creating the Druun.]

Sisu: As Quynh waged war on Kumandra, he made the Druun clone, multiplying like rabbits.

Haruun: Wait a minute, the Druun could multiply?

Sisu: Sadly, but unsurprisingly, yes. Made from the ashes so advanced, it looks like dark magic. Your ancestors fought with us as they went to war on the Druun. They called it the First Kumandra War.

Raya's Ancestor: For Kumandra!

[The warriors yell and charge at the Druun.]

Sisu: For the dragons!

Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba: For the people!

[The dragons run to the Druun as a Druun screeches. The warriors and the dragons attack the Druun.]

Sisu: (voiceover) But before the Druun could turn the people to stones, the warriors fought and attacked as one. People alongside the dragons. A golden age of warriors fighting together to defend life on Kumandra.

[The warriors continue to attack the Druun as they stab the Druun's hearts. The Druun then turn all the dragons to stone, except for Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba. Sisu impales Quynh's left front leg as they both growl after she destroys Quynh's weapon. Quynh yells in pain and Sisu kicks Quynh to the ground. Quynh groans.]

Quynh: I curse you! I curse your name and all who come after! We will meet again, Sisu! In another time! In another life! (falls unconscious)

[The Druun surround Sisu and her siblings at the small river. Pengu cups the water from the small pond as he clutches his hands and creates the gem. Pranee, Amba, and Jagan pour their magic into the gem.]

Sisu: By that point, all the other dragons had been turned to stone. We were drowning in a sea of Druun. But my oldest brother Pengu refused to accept defeat. This is where we'd make our last stand, united. So, one by one, they combined all their magic, creating the dragon gem.

[Pengu hands over the gem to Sisu as Sisu looks uncertain.]

Pengu: Take it. It may be worthy of your life.

[Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba smile.]

Sisu: (voiceover) I don't know why they chose me. It could have been any of us.

[Pengu gives Sisu the gem.]

Pengu: Goodbye, Sisu.

[The Druun turns Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba to stone and Sisu closes her eyes as the gem sends the wave and vanquishes the Druun and Quynh to the underworld.]

Sisu: (voiceover) All I know is they trusted them, and they trusted me. And so...

[The flasback ends.]

Sisu: When they put faith in me, it empowered me beyond anything I could imagine. The same can happen with Namaaro.

Raya: I wish I could believe that. I once thought that we'd be best friends.

Sisu: After all this, maybe you can be.

Raya: Even if he wanted to help us

Mona: But if somehow you could, you wouldn't just bring your father back. You'd also bring back his dream. Kumandra.

Haruun: But it's not over. It was never over.

Raya: I don't understand. Who's after the gem?

Haruun: Khan.

Raya: Khan?

Haruun: He's one of Quynh's conquerors. And that's how Quynh wanted the gem for vengeance.

Raya: So that's why he did it.

Dang Hai: Did what?

Raya: Sent his trusted conqueror. Chen shot my father's knee with an arrow when I was 12!

Dang Hai: He will be damned if he could get his hands on the gem pieces.

[The scene goes to the bridge at Heart as Raya takes off the flowers and places them on Benja's hand as she, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona salute to him.]

Raya: Do you think he would even recognize me? So much has changed.

Sisu: Of course he will.

Raya: (turns around to Sisu) You remind me of him.

Sisu: Oh, yeah? Strong? Good-looking with impeccable hair? (playfully flicks her mane)

Raya: Hopeful.

[Raya places her hands under Benja and she sighs deeply and then she sobs. Haruun, Dang Hai, Mona and Sisu give Raya one moment alone.]

Thau: You can never relive the past. Your disgrace is worse than death. (the birds fly around and morph into Thau) I understand. I was a child like your prince when people turned on me. You don't think I longed for a noble path? I've lived a life of exile. No country, no village, no family. We are the same.

Raya: No, we're not.

Thau: Yes, we are. The more power I showed, the more I've been crushed. Just like you. You fought Khan today and still Khan broke the world. Now you're just the beginning of your power. Merge your path with mine. And we'll be stronger together.

Raya: You follow a coward. A leader who runs from battle.

Thau: Khan the Conqueror didn't from battle. That coward will take the Fang Tribe, and Chief Virana will fall along with the people.

Raya: That can't happen.

Thau: But it happens even now. Join me. And we'll take our place together.

Raya: (inhales sharply) I know my place. And it is my duty... to fight for Kumandra and put the gem and the world back together.

Thau: Good girl.

[Thau morphs into a hawk as he flies to Khan's base. Sisu, Haruun, Dang Hai and Mona return.]

Raya: How would we even approach Namaaro after all that's happened?

Sisu: It may feel impossible, but sometimes, you just have to take the first step, even before you're ready. Trust me.

Raya: (turns back to Benja) Okay. Let's go to your plan.

Sisu: Really? My plan? You're gonna go with my plan?

Raya: (chuckles) Yeah.

Sisu: All right! You're all not just gonna regret this. But we're gonna need a really good gift. What do you think she's into? Cats? Swords? Cats with swords? Swords with little cats on them? (Raya laughs)

Haruun: Actually... (opens the fabric and reveals the dragon pendant) I know exactly what we'd give her.

[Meanwhile, at Khan's base, Chen appears in hologram.]

Chen: Have you finished the conquest?

Khan: Not yet, Chen.

Chen: (growing impatient) Then why do you summon me?

Khan: I bring news. Before mighty Quynh came to the throne, he created the Druun, a group of soulless beings before they've become humanoids. The last dragon, Almighty Sisudatu, blasted the Druun away after her brothers and sisters made the gem from the small pond and turned to stones. The power of her siblings that can do everything as the gem became power hungry when Kumandra's people became the five tribes such as...

Chen: (annoyed) The story of the defiance is well-known.

Khan: (angrily; tired of Chen's disrespect) I have learned about the creation of the Dragon Gem. (slams his sword into the floor) The small water that fought back. It's Kumandra. The Dragon Gem is created by the siblings of Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba.

Chen: (snarls; intrigued but skeptical) Are you certain?

Khan: I have seen it. I have looked with my own eyes.

[Chen speaks Mongolian and growls as he deactivates the hologram. The Druun humanoids chitter and bow to Quynh who appears in a water-like hologram before Khan. Khan stumbles back in absolute shock as he retracts his helmet.]

Khan: (absolutely stunned; kneels) My Lord.

[Khan retracts his chest, torso, and upper bicep armor.]

Quynh: (disparagingly) Oh, Khan.

Khan: (imploringly) My Lord, I am but your humble servant.

Quynh: Can it be true that you have found it?

Khan: I have, Dark Dragon. The lost world... is Kumandra. The dragon gem... is here.

Quynh: If it is redemption you seek, find the fifth piece, kill Almighty Sisudatu, and when the rivers have started to recede, I will come for my lost world.

Khan: (surprised; almost overjoyed) You will come to Kumandra?

Quynh: I have petrified every dragon and person to stone looking for the Dragon Gem, looking for those who robbed me of my glory. I will stride across their bones and bask in the glow of the dragon gem, and all of Kumandra shall be mine.

Khan: (resolutely; determined to prove himself again) It shall be so, my master.

[The next morning, Virana teaches some history to the children.]
