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. A princess warrior. A dystopian world. A 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) We are!

Spine Chief: Seriously, man?

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

Namaari: (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 Namaari) Go ahead. It's all right. I'll have a word with Chief Benja.

[Raya and Benja approach Namaari 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.]

Namaari: Hello. I'm Prince Namaari 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 when my son was just five.

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

Namaari: 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 Namaari to the throne room. At the throne room, Raya and Namaari 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 Namaari grabs it then Tuk Tuk grumbles.]

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

Namaari: Blades all day.

Raya: Right?

Namaari: (chuckles) Okay, dressy or casual?

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

Narmaari: (laughs)

Raya: Uh, rice or stew?

[Namaari looks down at the two dishes]

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

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

Raya: Really?

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

Raya: Oh.

Namaari: 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.

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

Raya: Sisu? You’re kidding, right?

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

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

Namaari: (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.

Namaari: 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.

[Namaari takes off her dragon pendant and gives it to Raya]

Namaari: Here.

Raya: Whoa. Really?

Namaari: 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 Namaari) Ta-da. Namaari of Fang, I introduce you to Tuk Tuk. Tuk Tuk, say hello to Namaari of Fang.

Tuk Tuk: (trills softly)

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

Raya: (giggles) Yeah, I know.

Namaari: 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 Namaari and Namaari picks him up.]

Namaari: 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.

Namaari: 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 tue, by the way. (chuckles awkwardly) Yeah.

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

[Raya leads Namaari 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 Namaari remove their shoes and approach the gem.]

Tuk Tuk: (trilling)

Narmaari: (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.]

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

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

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

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

Namaari: 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.

Namaari: 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.

Namaari: He's right.

Raya: (recognizes the voice) Namaari?

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

Namaari: 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.

[Namaari 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?

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

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

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

Spine Chief: (someone tries to shoot at Namaari with a crossbow but he interrupts someone) Lower your weapon. I'm handling this. (walks over to Raya) Princess Raya, for forgiving Prince Namaari of Fang, I wish for you the gift of beauty. (kisses Raya's hand)

Talon Chief: Sweet princess, my gift for you shall be that you'd be peaceful, love and.

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

[When Mona is about to kiss Ra, the crack is 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, 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!

Spine Chief: Run, Chief Benja! Run! Run!

[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.

[Khan punches a hole in the wall.]

Raya: Or so I thought.

the tribes still run away and retreat to their homelands.]

Tribes: (clamoring)

Benja: 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, Namaari, 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 princesses of Heart and fang 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? Come on. Here we go.

[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 the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Talon Chief 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.
