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

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

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

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

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

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

Benja: Raya, the puppet show's ready.

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

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

Young Raya: Oh. Hello.

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

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

Young Raya: Okay.

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

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

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

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

Puppeteer: Oh, good. Let me tell you the story of a dystopian world, a land that's gone to waste. How did this world get so broken? Well, that all began 500 years ago. Kumandra. This is what we used to be. When our land was whole, and we lived harmoniously alongside... dragons. Magical creatures who brought us water and rain and peace. It was paradise. But then, the Druun came. A mindless plague that spread like wildfire, multiplying as they consumed life and turned everyone they touched into stone. The dragons fought for us the best they could, but it wasn't enough. That's when the mighty Sisudatu, the last dragon, concentrated all her magic into a gem and... (imitates explosion) blasted the Druun away. Everyone that was turned to stone came back. Except the dragons. All that was left of Sisu was her gem. It should have been this big inspirational moment, where humanity united over her sacrifice. But instead, people being people, they all fought to possess the last remnant of dragon magic. Borders were drawn, Kumandra divided. We all became enemies, and the gem had to be hidden.

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

Young Raya: Wow. That was remarkable.

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

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

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

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

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

Young Raya: Oh. Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Young Namaari: All finished.

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

Young Namaari: Thanks, Raya. Take care of yourself. Here, you might want to keep my dragon charm necklace. Just in case. One dragon nerd to another. (gives her dragon charm necklace to Raya)

Young Raya: Thanks. And take care of yourself, too, Namaari.

Virana: Goodbye, Benja. I hope we'll see each other again in six years. Come on.

(Young Namaari and Virana walk back to Fang.)

Benja: Dewdrop, come sit next to me. (Young Raya sits next to him) Do you know why Sisu lives inside a dragon charm necklace? She is the last of the water dragons.

Young Raya: But I thought she concentrated her magic.

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

Young Raya: I believe I can, father.

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

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

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

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

Spine Chief: I understand.

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

Spine Guard: Oh, no. Chief! Come here! (Spine Chief walks to him) Take a look at this.

Spine Chief: (gasps) The Druun? It can't be. Close the gates!

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

Spine Guard: Take out the leader!

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

Spine Chief: He's way too strong!

(People scream and take shelter. Naari walks to Siru who chokes a Spine Guard.)

Siru: Where are the pieces of the Dragon Gem? What have you done with Kumandra?

Spine Guard: We have nothing to do with the Dragon Gem. (choking) This is a snowy kingdom. We live in peace and tranquility.

Siru: If this is a snowy kingdom, then where's the Tail Chief?

(Spine Guard's neck breaks and he dies. Siru throws him to the ground. Siru walks to Spine Chief.)

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

(Siru throws a spear to the ground next to Spine Chief who yelps in fear. The scene goes to the forest and the camera pans up to the kingdom named Fang as text says "Fang". At the Fang throne room, the Spine Chief talks to Virana.)

Spine Chief: Chief Virana, Your Majesty, there's something important I must tell you about this. The city of Spine has fallen in a coordinated attack by the most dreadful shapeshifters after the disease was destroyed. My citizens have taken shelter while the guards were killed. I'm the only survivor here. I fear more attacks will follow. And if we allow this to continue, it could be the end of Kumandra.

Virana: Who is responsible?

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

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

Spine Chief: They're resurrected to be shapeshifters. Their leader calls himself Siru. Along with their assassin known as Naari. Her chi is beyond imagining. And I'm here to speak to Princess Namaari.

Virana: There's no place for assassins in this kingdom. It's forbidden to use the power of chi in destructive ways. I'm beginning to think that the Druun should be vanquished once and for all. I'm afraid Namaari is busy petting her serlot, so she'll be there soon.

(The door opens as Namaari and her serlot, Buwan enter the throne room and approach Virana.)

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

Spine Chief: Princess Namaari. (bows to Namaari)

Virana: My little morning mist.

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

Namaari: What's all the fuss about?

Spine Chief: The Druun have returned.

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

Spine Chief: Because they resurrect themselves. And yet, it's her skill that leads the Druun army to victory. Their assassin has trained an elite force of shadow warriors to assist Siru.

Namaari: Damn. So that's why they're resurrected from their defeat. We're not afraid of dark warriors. Assemble the army. Prepare to destroy the Druun army and their assassin once and for all. My warriors and I are gonna have my rival, Raya, who would summon the last dragon, Sisudatu, to join us.

Virana: Yes, Namaari, my morning mist.

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

Virana: Kumandra will never be threatened.

Namaari: Put the Tail Chief on the list.

Virana: Yes, dear. So where's the Tail Chief at anyway?

Namaari: I think she's at the desert place of Tail. I'll find her as well. And look after the Spine Chief.

Virana: Yes, Namaari, dear. Shouldn't be a problem.

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

Siru: So, you have news.

Naari: Virana has begun assembling the army in Fang.

Siru: Good. Then we shall find and destroy the last dragon, Mighty Sisudatu, once and for all. And then all of Kumandra will be mine. After they've turned humanity to stone. You have proved useful, assassin.

Naari: (angrily grabs Siru by the neck) Not assassin. Warrior. (lets go of his neck and exhales shakily) I could tear you to pieces before you blink.

Siru: 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. When I found you on the Kumandra forest wandering alone, you were exiled. A scorned dog. When I sit on the throne, that dog will have a home. (chuckles)

Naari: We will finish what we started.

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

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

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

(Raya draws her two arnis sticks. She begins fighting her father with arnis sticks. Benja laughs as they turn upside-down and right side-up. Raya sees a bumblebee as she makes it jump and throws it to Benja's mask. Raya yells and Benja uses his staff to push off Raya then she slides on sand. Benja lands on the sand and takes his mask off to wipe a bee off.)

Raya: (groans) Wait, what just happened?

Benja: You cheated, Raya.

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

Benja: You know what? I don't think we should, dewdrop, because you threw a bee at my mask. So please, you must concentrate on your combat.

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

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

Raya: I already have, that's all.

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

Raya: Really?

Benja: Yes, you're 19 years old today. And guess what Namaari gave you six years ago. The dragon charm necklace. This could summon Sisudatu where she lives. (puts the necklace on Raya) Happy birthday, dewdrop.

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

Benja: Excellent choice. Now go work on them.

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

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

Wahn: Hmm. I guess you're doing an incredible work.

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

Wahn: One question. What happened to your mother?

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

Wahn: Oh. So, what might our ancestors say about the upcoming invasion?

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

Wahn: The Druun?

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

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

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

Wahn: That's good.

(The scene goes to the kitchen as Benja bakes a cake for Raya as he hums a merry cheerful tune. He covers it with frosting and sprinkles then puts 19 candles on top of the cake.)

Benja: Now that's a lovely cake for my dewdrop. This'll surprise her. Oh, I forgot to light the candles. (lights 19 candles) Raya. The cake's ready.

Raya: Coming.

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

Benja: Happy birthday.

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

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

Raya: Aw, shucks. (chuckles and sighs)

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

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

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

Benja: Well, what did you wish for?

Raya: A new straw hat.

Benja: Oh, that's a lovely wish.

Raya: I think it is.

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

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

Benja: That'd be great.

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

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

Raya: Oh. It must've been hard.

Benja: I know. And that's why I had to choose Virana as my future step wife. Now finish your cake, please.

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

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

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

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

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

Benja: (opens his eyes) Who is it?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Raya: Father! No! What happened to you?

Benja: (groans weakly) I'm feeling sick. Put me in the bed. (Raya puts him in the bed) One of the Druun shapeshifters gave me the sickness after I tried to stop them. Travel to Tail and summon Sisudatu. Tell her the Druun have returned. (coughs) And please, be careful out there. Kill their leader and assassin, bring me the cure, and upon my sickness, you shall be either the new rightful queen of Fang or Heart. The time has come. Take up your whip sword. Remember, Raya, you must concentrate on your combat. (moans softly and falls asleep)

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

(Raya takes up her whip sword, puts the hair ring in her bag and runs to Tuk Tuk's den and opens the door.)

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

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

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

(Tuk Tuk grumbles as Raya enters the palace. The scene goes to the hallway as Raya walks to an empty throne. At an empty throne, Raya has arrived and looks at her necklace. She summons Sisu as she chants in Filipino after she unrolls the dragon scroll and puts the necklace on the cup and then a droplet falls into a cup. Sisu opens her eyes and sees Raya.)

Sisu: Who summoned me? Who are you?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Raya: Cool.

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

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

Sisu: Here.

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

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

Raya: You know the Druun?

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

Raya: Wow. Let's go find Boun.

Sisu: Great idea.

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

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

Atitaya: That must mean they left us tracks.

Namaari: What was that? Tracks?

Atitaya: Yes, Princess Namaari.

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

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

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

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

Sisu: Hmm. The disguise seems really catchy.

Raya: It sure does. If only we'd wish if the Tail Chief could be anywhere.

Tail Chief: Did you just say you were looking for the Tail Chief?

Raya: Yes, I did. (turns around to see the tail Chief) Oh! Hey, there. I'm Raya.

Tail Chief: Good to meet you, Raya.

Raya: Good to meet you too, Tail Chief. So, what are you doing in the middle of Tail anyway?

Tail Chief: I've been living in here for the past six years with food to eat, and water to drink.

Raya: I found a piece of the Dragon Gem so I have to reassemble it.

Sisu: Yes. If I only wish if I'd become a human.

(The dragon gem glows and Sisu turns into a human.)

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

Raya: I'm glad you liked it.

Tail Chief: Yes, but at least her human form looks probably beautiful.

Sisu: Aw, thanks. I thought so, too.

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

Namaari: I'm really glad you three liked your journey. What's dripping, dep la?

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

Namaari: To be precise, yes, and I just gave you the dragon charm necklace six years ago after we had lunch.

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

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

Raya: The army?

Sisu: What does the army need for?

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

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

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

Raya, Sisu and Tail Chief: (in unison) You will?

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

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

Sisu: All right.

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

Namaari: Oh. Hey, Tuk Tuk. It's been six years since Raya introduced you to me. (Tuk Tuk moans) Raya, this is my serlot, Buwan. He's a trained warrior cat, the most vicious animal in Kumandra. He's an extension to myself. Nothing phases him. He's stone cold. The only companion for an elite fighter like me. Cutthroat.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Buwan meows and makes pleased noises as he rolls around in Raya's lap. Namaari fights off her blush as she tries to hide how happy this makes her and glares at Buwan.)

Namaari: Huh. Doesn't seem very bad, but I guess that's fine with me.

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

Sisu: Siru. What do you want from me?

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

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

Siru: Hello, Namaari.

Namaari: Siru? What are you doing here?

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

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

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

Namaari: Filipino isn't my forte.

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

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

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

Sisu: Wait! Before you do, I have something for you that you can't refuse.

Siru: Oh, and what might that be?

(Sisu shows a beetle in her hand.)

Sisu: A beetle that's got a booty. Catch!

(Sisu throws a beetle to Siru, Naari and their warriors then a beetle explodes into a cloud flatulence with pink.)

Raya: We have to go now!

Namaari: Warriors, to Boun!

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

Naari: Ugh! What is that God awful smell? Oh, yes, it's the big whooping stench of flatulence.

Siru: Seize them!

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

Sisu: They're on us. Quickly!

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

Raya: Whoa! Did you see that?

Sisu: I believe I did. (picks out magical beetles) This'll slow them down.

(Sisu throws the magical beetles that explode into cloud flatulence with colors.)

Namaari: There! I see the boat!

Raya: Let's jump across the boat.

Namaari: Great idea.

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

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

Raya, Namaari, Atitaya, Tail Chief and Sisu: Boun?

Boun: You heard of me?

Raya: Heard of you? Who would've thought they'd call you names?

Tail Chief: Boun the Mighty Warrior?

Namaari: Boun the Karate Warrior?

Sisu: Boun the Karate Kid?

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

Raya: But you're the one...

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sisu: Setting course for Talon. All aboard!

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

Raya: Bye-bye, Druun Leader!

Siru: Hmm. The Druun Leader. That's what she calls me. (he picks the bag as he realizes that the piece of the Dragon Gem is gone and he grunts in frustration)

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

Siru: So, it would seem.

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

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

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

Namaari: Yep, that was a long time ago.

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

Namaari and Atitaya: Get used to that.

(Tuk Tuk and Buwan have fun.)

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

Namaari: I know. Isn't it beautiful?

(Boun clangs the triangle.)

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

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

Namaari: All right.

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

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

Sisu: Oh.

Boun: (chuckles) I'm just joking.

(Raya, Namaari, Atitaya, Tail Chief and Sisu chuckle.)

Boun: You can all chow down now.

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

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

Raya: It's... actually good.

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

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

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

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

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

Boun: I know it seems crazy talk.

Tail Chief: Hmm. I'm wondering if something happens.

Raya: But it wasn't over. It was never over.

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

Raya: Siru.

Boun, Namaari, Sisu, Tail Chief, Atitaya: Siru?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Raya: All right. Tuk Tuk, Buwan, stay on the boat. And play nice.

(Tuk Tuk and Buwan nod their heads and they play nice. Raya, Namaari, Atitaya, Tail Chief, and Sisu follow Boun to Tong's house. Raya meets Dang Hu.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Atitaya: Stop!

Raya: Hey, look, I've been looking for Tong.

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

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

Tong: Oh. I'm terribly sorry about your father. I heard that you're looking for the cure for your father's sickness. So anyway, it's good to see you, Raya.

(Tong and Raya hug each other.)

Tong: Raya, this is Noi. (introduces Noi to Raya) She's 10 years old. And she and Boun are the same age. It works because, wait, no, it doesn't. And I'd like to present to you, the three Ongis.

(The three Ongis walk into Tong's room. One of the Ongis jumps onto Raya and plays with her happily.)

Raya: (laughing) Okay, little one. Wow, you're actually rather adorable.

(A little Ongis squeals happily.)

Boun: Hey, what's all the commotion in here? Ooh, Ongis. (notices Noi the same age) Oh, wow.

Noi: Oh. Hey. I'm called Noi. Who are you?

Boun: I'm Boun. At your service.

Namaari: Tong. Oh, my God, you're just like... an actual giant. (nervous chuckle)

Tong: That's right, I am. And I think two of the pieces of the Dragon Gem are in here.

Raya: Siru doesn't have it. (shows a piece of the Dragon Gem to Tong) I do.

Tong: Oh, I see. One of them is under the bed. The other is in the bottom drawer.

(Raya looks under the bed and finds a second piece of the Dragon Gem. Namaari opens the bottom drawer and picks up a third piece of the Dragon Gem.)

Raya and Namaari: We found the other two.

Tong: Nice work, ladies.

Sisu: Oh. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

Tong: Oh. Hey, there. You must be Sisudatu. Welcome back.

(Sisu and Tong shake hands and hug each other.)

Raya: Wow. Must be a reunion.

Atitaya: You said it, Raya.

Tong: A reunion, you say? I'll take you all to Fang.

Raya: Wow. That's great.

Atitaya: I just hope she just took care of the Spine Chief in the kingdom of Fang.

Tong: Really? Who would that be?

Namaari: Actually, that would be my mother, Virana.

Tong: Virana. Hmm. I guess she literally did. So, let's sail to Fang.

Boun: All right.

Dang Hai: Maybe I can be of assistance.

Raya: Wait, who are you?

Dang Hai: I'm the leader of Talon, but you can call me... Dang Hai.

Tail Chief: Wow. You must be Dang Hai, the Talon leader.

Dang Hai: Yes, I am. And I'll help you win the battle.

(Raya, Namaari, Sisu, Atitaya, Dang Hu, Tong, Noi, Tail Chief, Dang Hai and the three Ongis follow Boun to his boat. Outside at Talon, Raya, Namaari, Sisu, Atitaya, Dang Hu, Tong, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Noi and the three Ongis have arrived at the boat and they enter the boat.)

Sisu: Allow me to do the honors.

(Raya turns back into a dragon and goes under Boun's boat then she makes a motorboat noise. At night, Boun's boat travels to Fang then Sisu comes out of the water, dries herself and turns back into human. Raya, Sisu, Namaari, Tong, Boun, Noi, Atitaya, Dang Hu, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, and three Ongis have dinner.)

Sisu: All right, we're all setting a course for Fang.

Raya: That's good. Once we've arrived at Fang, we'll be warriors in no time. (to Buwan) Oh, there you are. How's my favorite cat doing? Who's my big furry friend? (to Tuk Tuk) Don't worry, Tuk Tuk. We'll make it to Fang once we become warriors.

Sisu: Raya, may I have a word with you?

Raya: Sure. May I be finished? I need some time with Sisu. (finishes her dinner)

Boun: All right, just take your time. We'll be there in the morning. Your dinner's all finished, Raya.

(Raya and Sisu go under the deck.)

Sisu: Did you know that I have a family?

Raya: Yes, you did. Of course you have a family.

Sisu: 500 years ago, the dragons created the Dragon Gem to destroy all of Druun. They gave it to me and turned to stone. That's why I blasted the Druun away until they've returned to be shapeshifters. The gem had been hidden for years until Naari broke into the tomb and shattered the gem into four pieces.

Raya: That's why she did it. I know it was very hard. And that's why we found the missing three. Now all we need is one more to reassemble the orb.

Sisu: Then I go to pray.

Raya: For what?

Sisu: For the strength to endure what is to come.

(Raya and Sisu hug each other. Raya gives a massage to Sisu. Sisu exhales deeply and Raya pats her in the back softly and repeatedly then Sisu lets out a deep sigh. In the morning, Raya and Sisu are in a bed sheet sleeping with their clothes on. Boun knocks on the hatch then Raya and Sisu wake up.)

Boun: Raya. Are you all right? Did you two have a nice sleep?

Raya: (yawns) Yes. Yes, we did.

(Raya opens the hatch as she and Sisu come out of the deck and see breakfast.)

Boun: We have breakfast. Care to join? We've got bacon, smoked sausages, toast, juice, rice, and breakfast spring rolls.

Raya: Oh, wow. Can't hardly wait.

(Raya and Sisu sit and have breakfast.)

Raya: Mm. No kidding. This is very good.

Namaari: I'm glad you liked this.

Boun: I really hope you'd be grateful if... Oh, never mind.

Noi: Hmm. I think I'll enjoy doing cleaning.

Atitaya: Did you two sleep in your clothes last night?

Raya: Yes.

Dang Hai: Wow. I never thought they'd sleep.

Tail Chief: At least the reunion might be helpful.

Tong: Hey, look, we've arrived at Fang.

(Boun's boat has arrived at Fang and it lands at the dock. Boun ties a knot to the deck. Raya, Sisu, Namaari, Tong, Noi, Atitaya, Dang Hu, Tuk Tuk, Dang Hai, Tail Chief, Buwan, Namaari's warriors and their serlots, and Boun walk to Fang. At the Fang throne room, Raya and her friends enter and meet Virana.)

Raya: I know that the Druun have returned. And we're here for the Spine Chief's help. (sees Spine Chief in his armor) Oh! Hey there. You must be the Spine Chief.

Spine Chief: That's right, I am. I have an armor. And it's good to have you here, Raya.

(Raya and Spine Chief hug each other.)

Tail Chief: Hey, Raya. What's happening, girl?

Raya: Oh, you know, just being a good princess.

Tail Chief: Oh, that's nice.

Virana: Welcome, everyone. So glad you could make it.

Raya: Of course we could, Virana. I'll give my father the cure for sickness. He asked me to find Sisudatu as my task.

Namaari: Their assassin, Naari, gave Benja the sickness.

Virana: Hmm. I knew Benja. He was a good man and I'm sorry for your father's sickness, Raya. I'll give you the cure for your father's sickness.

Spine Chief: Front and center. (Raya and her friends move front and center) We're gonna make warriors out of each and every one of you. Tomorrow at dawn. (laughs) I'm just teasing. Today.

Raya: Wow. Today just sounds helpful.

Spine Chief: Raya, if you wanna become a warrior, you have to become a warrior. (Raya salutes to Spine Chief) Very good. Now, if you wanna become a warrior, Namaari will help you become a warrior.

(At the training grounds, Namaari shows Raya how to become a warrior.)

Namaari: Check this out. Those are arnis sticks. Remember when your father fought you back at Heart?

Benja: (in Raya's mind) Remember, Raya, you must concentrate on your combat.

Raya: Yes. I remember now.

(Namaari throws an arnis stick to Raya. Raya catches an arnis stick.)

Namaari: Begin.

(Raya and Namaari begin fighting as Namaari's arnis stick deflects Raya's arnis stick. Sisu, Tong, Boun, Atitaya, Dang Hu, Noi, Dang Hai, Spine Chief, Virana, Tail Chief, the three Ongis, Tuk Tuk and Buwan watch them fight. One of Raya's arnis stick flings out of her hand, hits Namaari's head and knocks her unconscious. Sisu, Tong, Boun, Atitaya, Dang Hu, Noi, Dang Hai, Spine Chief, Virana, the three Ongis, Tail Chief, Tuk Tuk and Buwan walk back inside the castle. Raya lays down next to Namaari.)

Namaari: (groans) Why are we lying in the training grounds?

Raya: One of my arnis sticks flung out of my hand, hit your head and knocked you unconscious so I laid down next to you so everyone would think we were chilling.

(Serlot kittens approach Raya and Namaari.)

Namaari: Don't worry, Raya, it's only Serlot kittens.

Raya: Hmm. I can't just imagine why. Are they friendly? Do they love me?

Namaari: Yes, they're friendly. (Serlot kittens lick Raya's face as she giggles) See? They love you. Let's go have some lunch.

(Raya and Namaari stand up. The scene goes to the dining room as Raya, Namaari, Sisu, Tong, Boun, Atitaya, Dang Hu, Noi, Dang Hai, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Virana, the three Ongis, Tuk Tuk and Buwan sit at the table. The waiters serve them their lunches on cloches with lids. The waiters remove the lids and they exclaim in awe. They all eat with their forks and knives as the quartet band plays festive music then the waiters leave.)

Raya: Mm. Man, this lunch tastes great.

Sisu: I'd say that this tastes really good.

Spine Chief: You know what they say. Early to bed, early to rise. Nothing compares to our luncheon rice. (Raya chuckles)

Tong: Tuk Tuk, catch!

(Tong throws a dumpling into Tuk Tuk's mouth. Tuk Tuk swallows and they all cheer.)

Raya: Good catching, Tuk Tuk. Anyway, on the count to three, we chug. Ready? One, two, three.

All: Chug!

(Raya and her friends chug down a mug of water. Noi, Atitaya and Boun belch and they all laugh. Tong lets out a big belch.)

Tail Chief: Better out than in, I always say.

Spine Chief: I knew you had it in you.

Sisu: Oy vey.

Namaari: So, I'm beginning to see how the calculations on the rice plantations seem correct. My mother and I would have to change them.

Raya: Wow, I never thought the calculations would be as correct as possible.

Virana: Of course.

Raya: Oh, I see what you're saying. A flower by any other name would smell as sweet.

Spine Chief: But if you name the flower, whatsoever...

Tail Chief: You might wanna definitely change something.

Raya: Oh.

(The scene goes to Raya, Sisu, Namaari, Tong, Boun, Noi, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hu, Dang Hai, Virana, and Atitaya who play chess.)

Atitaya: Do you play chess?

Raya: No.

Atitaya: The whole world is in chess. Any move can be the death of you. Do anything except remain where you started, and you can't be sure of your end. Were you sure of your end once?

Raya: I was.

Atitaya: What was it?

Raya: To be buried a hundred yards from where I was born.

Atitaya: And now?

Raya: Now I sit in Fang, and look upon a general.

Atitaya: (chuckles) When I was 16, I won a great victory. I felt, in that moment, I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there. A queen may move a woman. A mother may claim a daughter. That woman can also move herself, and only then does that woman truly begin her own game. Remember, how so ever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be queens or women of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus", or that "Virtue was not convenient at the time". This will not suffice. Remember that.

Raya: I will.

(The scene fades to Raya shows the Tail Chief her whip sword.)

Raya: Do you know what this is?

Tail Chief: A whip sword.

Raya: That's right, my sword can turn into a whip.

Tail Chief: Wow. That looks really great.

(The scene fades to Raya who tells the Spine Chief and Virana the better joke.)

Raya: Why can't the beetles approximately pass gas?

Spine Chief: I don't know. Why?

Raya: Because they're all in color and have huge booties.

Spine Chief: (chuckles) Good joke, Raya.

Raya: Thanks.

Virana: Wow. You're actually really good at telling jokes.

Raya: Yes, I am, Virana.

(The scene goes to the Druun campground as Siru forms an army. Naari is at Siru's side.)

Siru: Everyone, at midnight we find the treasure in Talon. Once we find the treasure, we could find all the gold. Tomorrow morning, at sunrise, we meet Raya at Fang once we kill Sisudatu and take control of Kumandra. Imagine being shackled so tightly that every reason in your body stood compacted, still. That was my plan, for 500 years. With the Dragon Gem, I take my vengeance upon Kumandra. All the treasures in Talon will be stolen by all of us, at midnight when the time comes. When we attack Talon, riches will flow like the mighty river.

Druun Warrior: I don't care about the riches. (he stands up and picks up a golden grail) How much gold can a nomad carry? (drops the grail and sits down)

Siru: Then I will give you revenge for the land we lost to the five tribes. For the shame of the last war. For my family, who Sisudatu killed. If gold is not enough... I will give you blood. (shows his hand) Sharpen your swords. Our time has come.

(A Druun warrior shakes his hand with Siru.)

Naari: Now I know. I serve you. I am the slave.

Siru: And you would do well to remember it. Over there, Naari. The city of Talon. Search for the treasure. (he leaves her)

(The scene goes to the training grounds at Fang as Raya and her friends follow Namaari's movements as they grunt in unison. They stop and Virana approaches.)

Virana: Excellent work, everyone. Now that we're ready to prepare for the great battle. But before we do, Namaari would like to try again. Only with Raya.

(Raya's friends make a lane.)

Namaari: Your combat seems stronger than ever. And you're getting abs like mine.

(Raya takes off her leatherjacket and belt as Namaari takes hers off.)

Raya: You bet your curvy body I am.

Namaari: (chuckles) Very good. Now let's see how much abs we have.

(Raya draws her whip sword. Namaari draws her two swords. They begin to duel. Raya turns her sword into a whip. The tip of her sword impales an apple as she pulls and catches it. Raya takes one big bite on an apple, throws it away and duels again with Namaari. Namaari's swords fling out of her hands and Raya's whip sword turns back and points at Namaari. They both pant. Her friends applaud.)

Namaari: Good dueling, dep la.

Raya: Thanks, Binturi. That was awesomely badass.

Virana: Hmm. Not bad for a trained warrior. (to Namaari who picks up her two swords) See? Beginner's luck.

Namaari: I knew you'd concentrate on your combat. (returns her swords)

Virana: Nice work, Raya. (she hugs Raya) Now, let's see how she has karate movements. Tong, would you do the honors?

Tong: Yes, Your Majesty. Begin!

(Raya and Namaari fight as they have karate moves. Raya kicks Namaari in the cheek. Namaari groans and spits her blood out of her mouth to the ground.)

Namaari: Good. Very good.

(Raya and Namaari continue to fight. Namaari uses her heel to knock Raya down.)

Raya: (breathes heavily) Dep la, come over here and hit me like that again.

Namaari: (snarls) Raya, not in front of everyone. For once, please, just focus.

Raya: Ooh, you wanna kiss me so bad, Namaari.

(Raya's friends laugh.)

Namaari: (she calms down and picks up Raya) Raya, I... I understand how you want me to kiss you badly, but... (grins) I simply can't accept your offer. Leave us.

Virana: Let's go, everyone.

(Virana and Raya's friends walk to the throne room.)

Namaari: How about a hug instead? That's the best thing for our relationship.

Raya: Sure.

(Raya and Namaari hug each other.)

Raya: You know, I never thought we'd hug each other. Let's try fighting again with spears.

Namaari: Good thinking, dep la. Begin!

(Raya and Namaari use spears and duel each other. Raya kicks Namaari to the ground and points her spear at her throat.)

Namaari: (panting) You know what? You did really awesome.

Raya: Hmm. Not bad for one lesson.

Namaari: You had a good teacher. Have you ever tried archery?

Raya: No.

Namaari: The Philippines has archery. Use the bow and arrow.

(Raya uses the bow and arrow.)

Namaari: Good. Now, aim for the apple and pierce it.

(Raya aims at the apple and pierces it.)

Namaari: Very good. Now you're the great mighty lone rider and warrior.

Raya: Oh, yes. I am the great mighty warrior and lone rider.

Virana: Raya, Namaari, dinner's ready.

Raya and Namaari: We're coming.

(The scene goes to the dining room as Raya, Sisu, Namaari, Tong, Boun, Noi, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Dang Hu, Virana, Atitaya, the three Ongis, Tuk Tuk and Buwan have noodles, rice, dumplings, fried dumplings, spring rolls, vegan spring rolls and sushi. The quartet band play classical music.)

Dang Hai: Mm. This tastes all good.

Tail Chief: I know. I'm beginning to think it's all average. Very good.

Raya: You know, I usually start to think how the workers worked on the rice plantations that I worked on them once.

Sisu: Hmm. Let me see here. I've heard that once the orb is reassembled, one of them would grant one wish. My siblings' names are Pengu, Jagan, Pragee, and Amba.

Raya: Wow, so that's why you're the five Water Dragons.

Sisu: Mm-hmm. I hope the rain might approach once they brought my siblings back to life.

Tong: Awesome.

Boun: Oh, damn. That looks delightful.

Dang Hu: They'll be brought back to life if Raya would rise up like the Water Dragons.

Noi: Oh, you mean the people who had been turned to stone?

Sisu: Maybe.

Noi: Oh. That's good.

Spine Chief: Congratulations on becoming the great warrior, Raya. Virana's glad that you're one of the greatest fighters in Kumandra.

Raya: Oh, thanks. I knew you'd count on us all.

Spine Chief: Aw, shucks. You'd always say those sweetest things to us.

Virana: I truly believe that it just might work. Once you defeat the Druun, everything would be back to normal.

Raya: That's great. (finishes her dinner) All finished. Thanks for the dinner.

(Namaari finishes her dinner quickly.)

Namaari: May I have a moment please, mother?

Virana: I, uh... Okay.

Tail Chief: Just because you can improvise doesn't mean you should. (Virana mumbles)

(At Namaari's bedroom in night, Raya sits on her bed as she takes a deep breath then she cries softly.)

Naari: You can never go home. Your disgrace is worse than death.

Raya: Naari? What are you doing in Fang?

Naari: I understand how you feel. I was a girl like you when people turned on me. You don't think I longed for a noble path? I've lived for exile. No country, no village, no family. We're the difference between ourselves.

Raya: Why's that?

Naari: Because the more power I showed, the more I was crushed. Just like you. Your chi grows stronger than ever I thought it would. And now you're just the beginning of your journey. Merge your path with mine. Then we'll be stronger together.

Raya: You follow a coward. A leader who runs from battle.

Naari: Siru didn't just run from battle. That coward will take all of Kumandra and your father will die in 12 days.

Raya: That can't happen.

Naari: But it happens now. Reassemble the Dragon Gem. And you'll be the rightful queen of Fang.

Raya: (breathes sharply) I know my place. And it is my duty... to fight for Kumandra and defeat the Druun.

(Naari morphs into a hawk and flies to Talon. Namaari opens the door, enters her bedroom, closes the door and sits next to Raya.)

Namaari: Raya, are you all right? You could've chose any place in Fang, and now you chose my bedroom?

Raya: Yes. But ever since the Druun had returned, I sense that my father's sickness gets stronger by the day.

Namaari: Oh. I'm sorry about your father. Maybe you could sleep with me if you'd like to.

Raya: Really?

Namaari: Yes, really. I know it's been hard since we've been stalked and chased for six years. What's wrong with you? Did my cats eat your tongue?

Raya: Namaari, I... I didn't... I'm sorry. Look, it wasn't my intention. I mean, yes, you do, dep la. I'm really sorry.

Namaari: Oh, no, no, it's okay. Problem happens, forget it. (stammers) But really, maybe I was sent as a warrior like you. (takes a deep breath) Raya, look, I'm sorry. A lot of things have happened to us throughout all these years, mostly bad, and I would be lying if I said I didn't have any fault in them. You don't really have to forgive me if you don't want to, I just thought it would be proper for me to apologize. And um, if there's any chance, from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to start over.

Raya: (sighs deeply) You know, I had so many chances to throw away the one thing you gave me, but I never did. When I gave it some thought, maybe deep down, I thought we still had a chance. It's gonna take a while, but when the time comes, let's start over. You're the princess, and I'm no queen. You have my love. And my answer. So, yes, I forgive you, Namaari.

Namaari: Thanks, Raya.

Raya: You're entirely welcome. (kisses Namaari on the cheek)

Namaari: (gasps) Raya!

Raya: Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you. I shouldn't have done that. I'm such a binturi. I'm really, really sorry.

Namaari: Oh, no, no, no, it's all right. It's actually lovely. Raya, if you're gonna kiss me, do it well.

Raya: (whispers to Namaari) Okay.

(Raya and Namaari kiss and make love on the bed while they strip their clothes off. They have sex while they moan until they have completed having sex and start sweating a lot. Namaari rubs the sweat off Raya's face.)

Namaari: (whispers to Raya) I love you.

(Raya holds Namaari's hand as she kisses her then she moans softly. At Talon in midnight, the Druun army searches for the treasure while it attack the guards. The people of Talon scream and take shelter. Naari fights off four guards. Siru enters Tong's bedroom and opens the drawer. He realizes that the two pieces of Dragon Gem have gone missing.)

Siru: They've gone missing. But I see them in Fang. We sail at sunrise to Fang.

(The Druun army return to the ship as they sail to Fang. Back at Namaari's bedroom, Raya and Namaari are under the bed sheet. Namaari touches Raya's face on the right hand and her hair on the left hand. Raya puts her arms around Namaari's neck. One serlot kitten sleeps with Namaari while the other serlot kitten sleeps with Raya.)

Namaari: I told you you'd end up surrounded by cats.

Raya: Well, it's not that bad. I wanna start over with you.

Namaari: What?

Raya: I wanna give another chance to us. Without you, we wouldn't be Kumandra again. I trusted in you, Namaari, and you you in me. So... do you accept?

Namaari: Yes, dep la. It's what I want the most.

(Raya and Namaari share a kiss with each other. Virana knocks on the door.)

Virana: Raya? Namaari? Are you two all right? Can you two come have a look at this?

(Raya and Namaari quickly put their clothes back on.)

Raya: Sure. I'm coming!

(Raya opens the door.)

Raya: Oh! Chief Virana. I didn't see you there.

Virana: Look at this. Talon's been under attack by the Druun army.

Raya: Tong, it looks to me like that Talon's been raided by the Druun army.

Tong: Oh, man. Being lost is bad, but this is such a tragedy.

Boun: Wait a minute, where do they want us to meet?

Virana: Wait. Did you just literally make love to my daughter?

Raya: Pretty sure I did.

Virana: Hmm. (smiles and thumbs up) You have exquisite taste, Raya. (winks)

Raya: Really? I have?

Virana: Yes, I know you've made love to my daughter. And that was very nice of you.

Raya: Oh, thanks. So anyway, they want us to meet their leader at the front step way.

Boun: Oh, that's a relief.

Namaari: I think my mother's right. Siru wants us to meet him at the front step way at sunrise.

(At sunrise, the Druun ship arrives at the dock and they drop the anchor to the underwater. A floorboard extends to the path of Fang. Siru walks to the entrance to the castle. Raya opens the door and walks to Siru. Namaari, Tong, Boun, Noi, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, the three Ongis, Virana, Tuk Tuk, Buwan, Dang Hu and Dang Hai follow Raya's lead.)

Siru: Hello, Raya.

Raya: Siru. I should've known that you took all the treasures of Talon.

Siru: Hmm. Is that so?

Raya: I've got the four pieces of the Dragon Gem. Virana has one on her staff.

Virana: What?

Siru: (chuckles) Maybe she's right. She's got the four pieces of the Dragon Gem. When the gem's reassembled, Kumandra will soon be mine. (cracks his knuckles)

Raya: What are you talking about?

Siru: You know what I'm talking about. The gem will also be mine as well. Give it to me.

Raya: I'm afraid I can't do that. I'll reassemble the gem so I have to grant the perfect wish.

Siru: So be it.

(Raya and Siru fight each other as they use karate moves until Siru chokes Raya.)

Siru: Give me the Dragon Gem!

Raya: I'd rather die before I tell you! (Sisu gasps)

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

(Sisu turns back into a dragon as she busts the door and her friends exclaim in awe. Sisu breathes smoke from her mouth and looks at Siru who lets go of Raya, hissing at him.)

Sisu: On your knees. (Siru gets on his knees nervously) Lower. (Siru lowers his knees) I'm Sisudatu, the last of the Water Dragons. And you, Siru... (shows Siru her hand) will give me the kiss of peace.

(Siru pants and shudders as he kisses Sisu's hand. Sisu punishes Siru by punching his face four times and she knocks him down. Siru groans.)

Sisu: Process him.

(Virana approaches Siru.)

Siru: What are you looking at?

Virana: A dead man. Siru of the Druun, you are arrested and condemned. Lock him up.

(Two Fang guards lock Siru up in the dungeon. Naari sees the guards lock her leader up.)

Namaari: Oh, my God. Sisu? What happened to you? You're... different.

Sisu: I'm just a dragon.

Namaari: It's good to see you, old friend.

Virana: Is it true, Sisu? Did you have siblings?

Sisu: Yes.

Virana: You would believe Sisu's human form. Why do you not believe her dragon form?

Raya: Because she risked everything by revealing her true form. She's braver than any dragon. And she's the best dragon amongst us.

Tong: I believe Sisudatu.

Boun: I believe Sisudatu.

Noi: I believe Sisudatu.

Atitaya: I believe Sisudatu.

Spine Chief: I believe Sisudatu.

Tail Chief: I believe Sisudatu.

Dang Hai: I believe Sisudatu.

Dang Hu: I believe Sisudatu.

Namaari: Raya, I know things have been difficult hardly. And I'm sorry about that.

Raya: Of course you do, Namaari. And I accept your apology.

(Thunder rumbles as rain patters softly. Raya and her friends feel the raindrops.)

Raya: The time has come, Sisu. Run on raindrops.

(Sisu runs on raindrops as Raya and her friends watch them. Sisu returns to the ground.)

Tong: Wow. That was awesome.

Virana: Raya, I would be delightful if you would reassemble the orb.

Raya: With all due respect, Your Highness, I'd be grateful to reassemble the Dragon Gem.

Virana: As you wish. (removes the fourth piece of the gem from her staff)

(At the dungeon, Siru looks around then he lets out a furious yell. His yell echoes in the sky as Raya and her friends hear it. Back at the dungeon, his warriors break in the dungeon and knock out the guards. Naari unlocks the cell. The cell opens and Siru comes out.)

Siru: Go to Plan B.

(Naari shapeshifts into a hawk. Back at the square, Raya attempts to reassemble the orb, but the pieces get taken by Naari's hawk form. The pieces fall and Siru catches them. The people of Fang scream in horror and Raya gasps. Naari shapeshifts into her form and walks to Siru.)

Siru: (chuckles) Surely you didn't expect a fair fight?

Sisu: How did you convince my siblings to betray me?

Siru: That wasn't your siblings. Now!

(Druun soldiers capture Sisu then Siru takes her to the throne room.)

Naari: Impossible. A woman leading Virana's army.

Raya: Where's Sisudatu? You were right. We're both the differences.

Naari: With one difference. They accept you, but you will never accept me.

Raya: You told me my journey was impossible. Yet here I stand. Proof that there is a place for people like us.

Naari: No. It's too late for me.

Raya: (breathes heavily) You can still take the noble path. It's not too late. Please. I need your help. Where's Sisudatu?

(Naari turns into a hawk and flies.)

Raya: Everyone! (people of Fang stop) I know why Siru broke out of the dungeon. He yelled for his help and his warriors broke in. They knocked down the guards and set him free. Her assassin used the key to unlock the cell. I met Boun, Tong, Dang Hu, Noi, the three Ongis, Dang Hai, the Spine Chief, and the Tail Chief! And now, I become the great mighty warrior and the great mighty lone rider! Rise a warrior! The time has come! Don't be afraid! Be brave! Be strong! Be courageous! Rise up like the warriors!

(Everyone agrees in unison.)

Raya: Today, we will defeat the Druun once and for all! And we're all the warriors! Now we take back Kumandra! To war!

(Everyone cheers and shouts. The scene goes to Raya and her friends who put on their armors. Back at Fang, the Druun soldiers charge at Raya and her friends who charge at them alongside Spine warriors, Talon warriors, Heart warriors, Fang warriors and Tail warriors.)

Naari: Join the others. Take the kingdom. Kill every last warrior in Kumandra.

(They duel each other. Tong penetrates the Druun soldier in the heart. Boun stuffs two Druun warriors' heads in two watermelons. Spine Chief spins the mace right round to kill three Druun soldiers.)

Namaari: Raya, we'll help you find Sisu!

Spine Chief: Clear their path!

Virana: Don't leave their side! They must get through.

Boun: Go find her, Raya!

Noi: We believe in you, Namaari!

Tong: Be careful!

Atitaya: Go, Namaari, go!

(Raya and Namaari run as they get through the Druun soldiers and warriors.)

Boun: Close the door!

Tong: We'll see each other again. Close the door.

(Raya and Namaari enter the throne room and close the door as they see Sisu in distress.)

Raya: (gasps, whispers) Oh, no.

Siru: I watched your siblings turn into stone. And now, it's your turn. (whispers to Sisu) Bow to me. (Sisu feels ignorant) I tire of your ignorance, Sisudatu. Bow to me!

Sisu: No matter how the wind howls, the mountain can never bow to the Druun.

Siru: Hmm. They tell me this kingdom is being built in honor of your family. And in honor of my family, this is where you will die. Or should I say, "turn into stone"? Who will come to save you, the last dragon? Where are the warriors of Kumandra? I will tell you. Fallen to our swords. Pierced by our arrows. Who will save you?

(Naari's hawk form approaches Siru and turns back into herself.)

Siru: Why are you here?

Naari: The attack has met a fierce resistance.

Siru: From who?

Naari: A young woman from the kingdom of Heart.

Siru: (scoffs) A girl?

Naari: A woman. A lone rider warrior. (Siru notices Raya and Namaari who hide behind the pillar) A woman leads the army. And she's no scorned dog.

Siru: You led her here.

(Siru takes his bow and arrow and aims at Raya and Namaari. Naari gasps and turns back into a hawk then an arrow pierces Naari's hawk form as she screeches then turns back into her true form. Naari groans in pain as Raya and Namaari brace her.)

Naari: Take your place... Raya.

(Naari dies and disintegrates. Raya and Namaari stand up.)

Raya: Hey!

(Raya bangs her shield with her sword two times.)

Raya: Remember me? I'm Raya, daughter of Chief Benja. I will defeat the Druun and I am here to destroy you.

Siru: (chuckles) The girl who has come to save Kumandra and defeat the Druun.

Raya: (to Namaari) Round two?

Namaari: Absolutely.

Siru: Tell me, Namaari, why did you become friends with Raya? You spent six years living here with your mother.

Namaari: Yes, I did.

Siru: Then let's finish this, binturi.

Raya and Namaari: Oh, it's on.

(Raya, Namaari and Siru duel each other. Raya, Namaari and Siru's swords hold as Siru strains and snarls. Raya's sword deflects Siru's sword as Raya yelps and falls to the floor along with Namaari then Siru falls to the floor and his sword is broken. Raya is unconscious and she opens her eyes.)

Sisu: The time has come, Raya. Rise up. You're the great mighty warrior and the great mighty lone rider. Rise up like the water dragons. Fight for Kumandra and its people.

(Raya stands up and returns her sword along with Namaari who returns her swords.)

Siru: Impossible.

Raya: Something my father taught me. The first rule is... (Sisu's siblings stand behind Raya and Namaari) there are no rules.

(Raya and Namaari fight Siru as they use their karate movements. They stop fighting.)

Raya: I must be both the great mighty lone warrior rider and the rightful queen of Fang. And now, I must have faith in who I am.

Siru: Then I'll enjoy destroying you both!

(Namaari punches Siru in the face as Siru groans.)

Namaari: Now!

(Raya kicks Siru out of the throne room as he screams. Raya cuts Sisu down and Namaari unties her as Siru grabs a bow and arrow then Raya exclaims. Siru tries to shoot an arrow at Sisu's heart, but Pengu returns to catch an arrow quickly. Raya gasps as she sees Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba. Pengu smiles as he nods his head and throws an arrow in the air. Raya goes on top of the throne chair as she jumps and kicks an arrow so fast to penetrate Siru's heart. Siru attempts to catch it, but realizes he misses while he breathes heavily. Siru dies as he groans and disintegrates. The Druun army dies and disintegrates along with their ship. Raya's friends chuckle.)

Pengu: Stand up, warrior. (Raya stands up after she bows to Pengu) Tell us your name.

Raya: It's Raya.

(At night in Fang, the fireworks go off as everyone celebrates then the banner says "Congratulations Raya!" while the dragons return. At the throne room, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba walk and bow to Virana.)

Pranee: Your Royal Highness, Princess Raya.

(Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba clear Raya's path. Raya walks to Virana and she bows to her.)

Virana: Raya, we thank you for saving Kumandra and its people from the Druun shapeshifters. We're all in your debt. In gratitude for your service and dedication, the dragons invite you to receive the kiss of true love to my Princess Namaari. And then you shall grant the perfect wish.

Raya: Your Majesty, I'm deeply honored by this immeasurable invitation, but with all due respect, I'd be really happy to kiss Namaari. (everyone murmurs)

Virana: Go ahead. She's all yours now.

Raya: Thanks, Chief Virana. (walks to Namaari)

Namaari: Thanks for saving Kumandra and its people.

(Raya gives true love's kiss to Namaari.)

All: Aw.

(Everyone applauds and Raya reassembles the Dragon Gem.)

Pengu: Congratulations on becoming the great mighty lone rider and warrior, Raya. Now that you're the soon-to-be queen and you reassembled the Dragon Gem, what would your wish be?

Raya: My wish is that you would make the cure for my father's sickness. His name is Chief Benja.

Jagan: The cure for Benja's sickness coming right up.

(Jagan quickly makes the cure for Benja's sickness and puts it in the jar. He seals the jar and gives it to Raya.)

Jagan: Here you go.

Raya: Thanks.

Amba: So, would you like us to go to Heart with you and Tuk Tuk?

Raya: I believe I would. Namaari, I think we'll see each other again. I'm just teasing. My mistake. Will you be my queen?

Namaari: Yes, Raya. Of course I'll be your queen.

Raya: She said yes. (everyone applauds again) Thanks, Namaari. (shakes hands with Namaari mounts on Sisu) Come on, Tuk Tuk. We're going back to my father. Goodbye, Namaari!

Namaari: Goodbye, Raya! I'll see you soon when we get to Heart!

Raya, Sisu, Pengu, Pranee, Jagan and Amba: I'll see you soon, too!

(Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba ride to Heart along with Tuk Tuk while everyone waves goodbye to Raya. At sunrise, they have arrived at Heart. Raya dismounts Sisu and runs to her father's bedroom. Raya opens the door and sees Benja who still feels sick.)

Benja: Raya? Is that you?

Raya: Yes, Father. It's me. I've returned and given you the cure.

(Benja hugs Raya as she cries.)

Benja: I knew you'd defeat their leader and assassin. I knew you'd return. You've brought me the cure.

Raya: (opens the lid) Drink. (sniffles)

(Benja drinks a jar of the cure then he feels all better.)

Benja: Wow. I'm feeling all better now. Thanks so much. You saved my life. And I'm eternally grateful. I'm so proud of you, my grownup dewdrop.

Raya: Come, there's something I'd like to show you.

(Raya and Benja run outside along with Wahn and the villagers as they meet Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba.)

Raya: Dragons, I introduce you to my father. This is Chief Benja. Father, this is Sisudatu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba. And those are my new friends. Tong, Boun, Noi, the three Ongis, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hu, Atitaya, Dang Hai, and your soon-to-be-step wife, Virana. I asked Namaari to be my queen and she said yes.

Benja: Oh, my goodness, Raya. That is so sweet. I knew you'd be the rightful queen of Fang. (sees Virana who arrives at Heart along with Tong, Boun, Noi, the three Ongis, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hu, Atitaya and Dang Hai) Virana. My future step wife.

Virana: Benja. My future step husband. You're feeling all better now.

Benja: Yes, I am. My daughter's marrying yours.

Virana: Oh. Benja. (hugs Benja and cries) Oh!

(Namaari appears in her bride outfit.)

Raya: Namaari. Dep la. You're looking beautiful. I knew you'd come for us.

Namaari: Of course we would, binturi. I guess we'll be married to each other. Pengu, do the honors.

Pengu: (clears throat) Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to have a wedding between a princess of Heart and a princess of Fang. May I have the rings?

(Tong gives two rings to Raya and Namaari. Raya puts the ring on her finger and Namaari puts the ring on hers.)

Pengu: Do you, Namaari, take Raya...

Namaari: I do.

Pengu: And do you, Raya, take Namaari...

Raya: I do.

Pengu: Then I pronounce you woman and wife. You may now kiss the bride.

Raya: I love you, Namaari.

Namaari: I love you too, Raya.

(Raya marries Namaari as her friends and the dragons and the villagers cheer. Benja laughs tearfully and hugs Virana as Wahn whimpers and faints.)

Benja: I'm really happy that the girls have become rightful queens of Fang.

Virana: (sniffles) Yes, they have.

Jagan: Chief Benja. We, the dragons, present this gift to Raya. She has saved Kumandra and its people. And now the five lands have been unified. (The villagers cheer)

Benja: Oh, wow. That's wonderful.

Sisu: Open it. (Raya opens the gift and sees a new sword) We've made a new sword for your daughter, Chief Benja.

Amba: She's brought honor to her ancestors, to her father, to her kingdom, and to her country.

Raya: Wow. You just made a new sword for me. Thanks, dragons.

Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, Amba: You're welcome.

Pranee: As befits the great mighty lone rider and warrior, the sword is marked with the pillars of virtue.

Raya: Peace, love, harmony.

Benja: Tong.

Tong: Benja, my good old friend. I knew you'd feel better.

(Benja hugs Tong and they both laugh.)

Benja: Thanks, Tong. And what's this fourth virtue I see?

Sisu: Read it aloud, Raya.

Raya: "Devotion to trust."

Benja: You have brought honor to us all.

Wahn: Everyone, would you like to stay over for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Raya: Yes, we have plenty of room.

Spine Chief: (smiles) Breakfast, lunch and dinner would be great.

Wahn: Then let's go inside.

(Raya, her friends, Benja, Virana, Tuk Tuk, Buwan, the villagers, Wahn and the dragons walk to Heart for victory breakfast as the dragons turn into humans. The scene fades to Raya who rides on Sisu as she whoops along with Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba.)

Raya: (narrating) See? That's how I defeated the Druun. I got married to Namaari. I became the rightful queen of Fang. And all of Kumandra was brought back to life by the rain. The princess became the lone rider. The lone rider became the warrior. The warrior became the leader. The leader became the queen. And the queen became the legend. I am...

(The scene freezes after Raya jumps in mid-air behind the sun along with Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba.)

Raya: Raya.

(The scene fades to black as the title appears and the end credits roll while the songs play "Lead the Way (Film Version)" by Jhené Aiko, "Reflection (2020)" by Christina Aguilera, and "Reflection (English Version)" by Liu Yifei. After the end credits, Raya, Namaari, Benja, Virana, Tong, Boun, Noi, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hu, Atitaya, Dang Hai, Wahn, Tuk Tuk, Buwan, the three Ongis and the dragons in their human forms have dinner for 45 seconds. After the post credits scene, the logos for Walt Disney Animation Studios, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Scott Free Productions and Disney start and finish.)
