Raya and the Kingdom of Kumandra/Transcript

[The film begins with the logos before the scene cuts to the desert grasslands of Tail. A buffalo stands in the middle of it and eats grass as Tuk Tuk rolls past it and Buwan, Tai, Muto and Ming run past it. Raya rides on Tuk Tuk, Namaari rides on Buwan, Atitaya rides on Tai, Wahn rides on Ming, Yun rides on Kang, Ying rides on Muto, and Spine Chief and Dang Hai ride on his Spine elephant, Ling, as they search for the Tail Chief's skeleton and Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba follow them while the credit comes up: "Disney presents".]

Raya: (narrating) Well, as you know, six years ago, I trusted Namaari, the princess of Fang, and brought her to the sanctuary where the Dragon Gem was hidden. And that's it, she broke my back. Like kicking so hard, my back almost broke. And when she lost the fight, she brought her band to help. Then my father, Benja, arrived, other tribes came along. Everyone looked at the Dragon Gem hungrily, drawing weapons as they were ready to kill each other to death. But Ba is Ba. He's always optimistic. Trying to compromise, he finally ended up being hit by an arrow in the knee. The others lost their minds over the Dragon Gem. They tried to snatch the Dragon Gem until it fell apart. Then the Druun awakened. Yep, hell had arrived. The Heart tribe became the first cake for the Druun. Ba helped me escape by throwing me into the river. But when I came back, the Heart tribe had nothing left. Everyone turned into stone. The Druun were spreading out. This world had become a land that had gone to waste. Everyone was striving for themselves. They betrayed each other more than 500 years ago. Five years, I survived alone in a world full of the Druun, chasing vain hope for the story of Sisu. Yes, a fairy tale for children from Namaari, the one who kicked me full of love. Why do I still believe that story? After something like that happened? Well, I don't know. In the sixth year, I had begun to despair over this search. The river's end that I haven't been to is only in Fang and Tail. So I went to Fang first, and then I saw how those people survived, dug a canal to separate the palace from the mainland. Seeing that made me hurt if they had figured it out this quickly. Six years ago, we would have been able to collapse the bridge that held the Druun in the island of Heart. But it doesn't matter now. I needed something that can hold my faith. Anything that could give me hope. So I sneaked into the palace by climbing up the roof to find that scroll. The one that Namaari used to show me. There, I saw Namaari. She still cut her hair in the same style as Chief Virana. Sometimes I wonder if her mother had too much influence on her. Namaari practiced boxing with General Atitaya at the courtyard. I saw that and thought of when Ba taught me Penchak Silat when I was a child. The more I thought, the more it hurt. So I hurriedly went in to get what I wanted and hurried out. Ah. During the escape, there was a bit of a mess. But just ignore it. That's not the point. The rest of the story, everyone already knows, right? I searched for Sisu until I found her. We travelled by Boun's boat, collecting a gem piece one by one along the way. Sisu learned the bad side of humans from Dang Hu the Talon chief and I learned to trust people from Sisu. We sent a gift to Namaari. Then she sent back a crossbow. The reason I repeat, don't think I'm vengeful on you. Well, she really did that. But in the end, we can trust each other again, fix the Dragon Gem, blow the Druun away and all the dragons are resurrected. Sisu said that she was very hungry, so I came up with an idea. If we have to start over again anyway, before I go home to see Ba, I invite everyone to come visit. Let's drink and eat and have a celebration at the Heart tribe again. And this time, we will do better.

[The scene changes to Sisu who talks to Raya as text comes up: "One Day Earlier".]

Sisu: Okay, but we just saved the world. What else could be missing?

Raya: It's complicated.

Sisu: (chuckles) Right. Why your pupil is dilated? Actually, where are you looking?

[Namaari holds up a newborn male serlot, Dao, who purrs and feels the petting.]

Raya: Sisu, my heart is racing.

Sisu: Yeah, right. That's really complicated.

[The title comes up: "Raya and the Kingdom of Kumandra". The scene changes in three split halves to reveal the band playing lively music along with the laughter of the people at the celebration. Lots of food are prepared and served.]

Chief Benja: Welcome to the celebration, Xiu.

Xiu: Thanks, Chief Benja. So glad you're brought back to life.

Chief Benja: My pleasure.

[Chief Benja sighs happily and almost cries as Raya, who returns from the kitchen after preventing Sisu from pouring a whole jar of Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste into the jade noodle, walks over to him.]

Raya: Aw, Ba, please don't cry. Everyone else will see it.

Chief Benja: Sorry. (sniffles) I'm just really happy. (smiles) My daughter has grown up a lot. Dewdrop, over the past six years, you must've been tired.

Raya: It was a long adventure, but it was probably worth it, Ba.

Chief Virana: Chief Benja. (her voice trembles) I just want to apologize.

Chief Benja: Really? What is it?

Chief Virana: I'm really sorry someone shot your knee with an arrow. I should've told General Atitaya to lower her crossbow and none of this would've ever happened. I'm absolutely sorry. If it's not too late, please forgive us.

Chief Benja: (sighs deeply) I know, Chief Virana. We both can't change the past, but we can build a better tomorrow. Also, I forgive you two easily.

[Chief Benja hugs Chief Virana.]

Raya: Uh, Ba.

Chief Benja: Yes, Raya?

Raya: I haven't seen Namaari. Do you know where she went?

Chief Benja: I think she went to the stairs. She's not in the mood.

Raya: I'll go ask her.

Chief Benja: Sure. Go ahead and tell her.

[Raya walks to Namaari who sits on the stairs and looks at Raya's hair ring.]

Raya: The party is the other way.

Namaari: Raya.

Raya: What are you doing out here all alone by yourself? Everyone else is inside.

Namaari: Raya, I don't feel like celebrating.

Raya: Oh, that's a painful shame. Mind if I sit next to you?

Namaari: No. Go ahead.

[Raya sits next to Namaari.]

Raya: Why do you feel so sad and so lonely? Tell me what's wrong.

Namaari: Every time I see Sisu being hit by an arrow in the chest, I feel absolutely shameful.

Raya: Oh. I know you've been having bad dreams. And what's that in your hand?

Namaari: Um... Raya, look, I couldn't find a proper moment to return this to you before. It's important for you, right?

Raya: Important for me? (reveals her hair ring and gasps) Aww, Namaari, it's my hair ring that I thought I lost it in Tail when that Druun attacked us.

Namaari: Yes, it looked like you forgot it completely in the middle of the desert where I found it. And to think that I took good care of it until now.

Raya: Wait. You did? Oh, thanks for taking good care of my hair ring.

Namaari: Don't mention it. Oh, I have something to apologize.

Raya: You do?

Namaari: Yes. And I'm sorry.

Raya: Really? For what?

Namaari: For causing you so much pain and hardship. I also just want to say I'm sorry for betraying you, for the gem breaking, for separating you from your father, and for Sisu's death. I'm really sorry for everything I've done. A lot of things have happened to us throughout all those years, mostly bad, I would be lying if I said I didn't have any fault in them. And I just thought it would be proper for me to apologize. I wanted the best for Fang, but I was too close-minded to think of a solution that involved all of Kumandra. And in the end, I messed up everything. I know I can't change the past, and I'm not asking you to forget it either. But I'd like to be friends for real this time. If I just wish you could hopefully forgive me. And, um, if there's any chance, from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to start over. (shows Raya her dragon pendant)

Raya: (sighs) 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 the chance. I admit it was hard and terrifying, and sometimes, I wanted to give up, but it was all worth it in the end. Because now I have you, and I have my father. So, yes, I accept your apologies, and I forgive you, Namaari. But you don't have to take all the blame. I won't pretend I'm not still a bit bitter about this story, but I want us to be friends to figure this out together. Plus, I wouldn't want you to remain a lonely cat lady forever. (rubs Namaari's head)

Namaari: (chuckles) Very funny, dep la.

Raya: It's gonna take a while, but when the time comes, let's start over. (takes her dragon pendant) Guess I'll be holding onto this again.

Namaari: (smiles) That's the plan.

Raya: Oh, crap! Now our parents are gonna think that we both fell into a ditch somewhere.

Namaari: (laughs) At least they'll be happy that we're getting along.

Raya: Oh, my father would be ecstatic.

Namaari: Oh, of course he would be.

[Raya and Namaari attempt to kiss.]

Chief Benja: Dewdrop, can you come here for a second?

Raya: Ba! Yes, of course. Come along.

Namaari: Sure.

[Raya and Namaari come with Chief Benja to the throne room. At the throne room, Chief Benja talks to Raya.]

Chief Benja: We have reached an agreement with the people of Fang, but I wanted to talk with you before the arrangement is done. We want peace in our lands, and Chief Virana and I have agreed that the best way to achieve it is for a marriage to take place on your 19th birthday.

Raya: So, you prefer to marry Chief Virana to unify our lands?

Chief Benja: I prefer to say yes. Your duty as princess of Heart is to see for our land and for our people. I know I'm asking too much of you right now, but in time, you'll have to see for the people of Fang, too. We have arranged this wedding to be yours with either Princess Namaari or the Spine Chief.

Raya: My wedding with Princess Namaari or the Spine chief on my 19th birthday? That's wonderful. I'll ask the Tail Chief to come over to my 19th birthday.

Chief Virana: Unfortunately, the Tail Chief died from starvation.

Raya: Well, the Dragon Gem might bring everyone back from the dead.

Chief Virana: You're willing to bring the Tail Chief back to life?

Raya: Yes, and you won't have to worry about everything.

Chief Virana: Hmm. Now let's hope you bring her back to life when the festival begins tomorrow night.

Sisu: Heya, everyone! Oh, dear. I'm really sorry about that. I heard that you're all having a festival tomorrow night.

Chief Virana: Yep, that's what we're all gonna have.

Raya: Ba, you know the Spine Chief?

Chief Benja: Yes. Uh, it was actually six years ago.

[Raya sees Buwan who sits on the floor and Buwan walks over to her.]

Raya: Who's that?

Namaari: That's my serlot, Buwan. He's the trained warrior cat, the most vicious animal in Kumandra. He's an extension of myself. Nothing phases him, he's stone cold. The only companion for an elite fighter like me. Cutthroat.

Buwan: (whining)

Namaari: That was cruel of me. I'm sorry, Buwan.

Buwan: (purrs softly and smells Raya's hand)

Namaari: Buwan, let's not eat strangers today. She's saved Kumandra.

Buwan: (rubs his head on Raya's hand)

Raya: (gasps) Aww, there you are. Who's my big furry friend?

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

(Raya pets Buwan while she laughs as he 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)

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)

Raya: Apology accepted, buddy. Don't worry. We're good.

Buwan: (meows happily and turns over for belly rubs)

Raya: Awwww, you're just like your mommy, aren't you? (looks amusedly at Namaari) 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?

Buwan: (makes pleased noises and rolls around in Raya's lap)

Namaari: Hmm. You know, Raya, there's a reason my bed is so big. And we have plenty of room for our pets.

Raya: Really?

Namaari: Yes. And there's someone who'd like to see you. This is his wife, Tai, and their son, Dao.

[Tai and Dao walk over to Raya. Buwan meows and rubs his head on Raya. Raya chuckles and picks up Dao.]

Raya: Aww, hello there, little one. You must be Dao. (scratches Dao who purrs)

Dao: (meows and rolls around in Raya's belly)

Raya: Aww, who's a happy kitty?

Dao: (meows excitedly and licks Raya's face)

Raya: (chuckles) Oh, Dao, you're such a happy kitty.

Dao: (meows and rubs his head on Raya's neck)

Raya: Good kitten. And look who's arrived to see me. Tai.

Tai: (smells Raya's skin and rubs her head on her abdomen)

Raya: Aww, Namaari, your serlots really love me. See, Chai? Namaari said I was gonna end up becoming a cat lady like her. And you were right, Namaari.

Chai: Oh. Yes. Very good to hear.

Namaari: Of course I was.

Raya: Hey, Tuk Tuk. This is Buwan and his wife, Tai and son, Dao.

Tuk Tuk: (grunts questionably)

Buwan: (meows and rubs his head on Tuk Tuk's shell)

[Tuk Tuk, Buwan, Tai and Dao play nice with each other.]

Namaari: Well, where's the Spine Chief and Dang Hai?

Raya: I don't think they've arrived yet. They were both busy repairing their tribe, so they sent a representative. For Spine is Tong because he's the chief's brother-in-law. As for Talon, they chose Chai. I have no idea why Dang Hai sent a flower guy. While Tail has no representative. In the past six years, Tail had suffered the most from the Druun. They haven't had a chief for many years. Only their people tried to survive on their own.

Tong: I heard that. Sorry to drop into your conversation.

Raya: Tong. What have you been doing?

Tong: Oh, just telling good jokes to the people of Fang. They all know how to laugh and have a wonderful time.

Raya: Hmm. Good to hear. That's actually impressive. When does your brother-in-law arrive?

Tong: I have a brother-in-law?

Raya: Yes. Your brother-in-law. Does he have a name?

Tong: I believe he does have a real name. He's called Yen.

Raya: Really?

Tong: Absolutely. I think he'll arrive soon when the jade noodles covered with Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste are served.

Raya: No problem. So, what'd you like to do?

Tong: I think I'd like to work on mangos.

Raya: Sure. Go ahead.

Tong: Thanks.

[Tong goes to the kitchen to work on the mangos.]

Boun: (carries his Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste-covered jade noodles to the table) Man, this job seems rather catchy. Raya. How's the celebration going?

Raya: So far so good.

Boun: Excellent. Now that my family's brought back to life, I'd like you to meet my family. Mother, Father, this is Princess Raya of Heart.

Boun's Mother: It's delightfully such an honor to meet your acquaintance, Raya.

Raya: Yes, it is.

Boun's Father: I heard you fixed the Dragon Gem where it blasted the Druun away and returned to the sanctuary. Congratulations.

Boun: And this is my brother.

Boun's Brother: Good to see you, Raya.

Raya: Good to see you too.

Xiu: Greetings, Raya.

Raya: Xiu. What a surprise.

Xiu: Look what Noi does. She learns how to speak. Say mango.

Noi: Mango.

Xiu: Good girl.

Noi: Raya. (feels Raya's hair and chuckles)

Xiu: She loves your hair.

Raya: Oh, thanks. I thought so too.

[Dyan, Uka and Pan hug Raya's legs.]

Raya: Oh. Hello there. Having a good time? (The ongis nod their heads) And you know what? You seem friendly and nice, Noi. (boops Noi on the tip of her nose with her finger) Boop.

Noi: (chuckles)

Xiu: Thank you, Raya. You seem like a nice princess.

General Atitaya: Princess Raya, I see everyone's having a good time at the celebration, and you seem rather happy.

Raya: Of course I'm happy. And I'm also having a great time. And so is everyone. And so are you, Atitaya.

General Atitaya: (chuckles softly) Princess Raya, I can assure you that Namaari loves you from the start. If the Tail Chief died from being hungry, what would you do?

Raya: I think I'd like to bring her back to life with my new generals, Yun and Ying.

General Yun: General Atitaya. I'm Yun, and I'm Raya's new general.

General Atitaya: Such an honor to know you. I'm Atitaya.

General Ying: How delightful to meet you, General Atitaya.

General Atitaya: Are you sure you want to bring the Tail Chief back to life? Surely there must be everything to bring her back to life.

[The door bangs open as the Spine Chief and Dang Hai enter.]

Spine Chief: I heard that you're willing to bring the Tail Chief back to life.

Dang Hai: And perhaps we could be of assistance.

Raya: Oh, where'd you go? I noticed that you missed all the celebration.

Spine Chief: Oh, don't get upset. I never meant to break the Dragon Gem six years ago.

Raya: You did?

Spine Chief: I mean, yes, I did. And I'm sorry. Someone really didn't mean to shoot your father's knee with an arrow.

Raya: So, your name's Yen, isn't it?

Spine Chief: (chuckles uneasily) Uh, yes, that's my name.

Raya: Do you think I'm your true love?

Spine Chief: (stutters) Actually, I don't. I don't have a true love, but as long as I have you, I'll be your perfect groomsman.

Raya: You really think so?

Spine Chief: (chuckles) I know so.

Dang Hai: Good thing we brought our own sleeping bags.

Spine Chief: That's right. So we can both sleep in your room.

Raya: You have my word as a princess.

Dang Hai: Hmm. Look at what we have here. Princess Namaari of Fang. (approaches Namaari) Hey, hot princess.

Namaari: Oh. Your beard looks bushy.

Dang Hai: You're absolutely right it does. And man, I do need to shave. Actually, I think I love my beard.

Namaari: Oh, I see.

Noi: (notices Spine Chief) Chief Yen of Spine? (feels Spine Chief's hair and chuckles)

Spine Chief: Extraordinary.

Xiu: Sorry to disturb you, but I never even noticed you've been properly invited along with Dang Hai.

Spine Chief: Of course we're both invited. And look who we brought. His mother, Dang Hu.

Dang Hu: Greetings, Raya.

Raya: Dang Hu. Welcome. We're having jade noodles covered with Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste.

Dang Hu: Oh, my goodness. That looks tasty and spicy. Congratulations.

Spine Chief: Hey, Raya, do you know where my brother-in-law went?

Raya: I think he went to the kitchen to work on the mangos. We're having mangos with sweet fish sauce. You should try them. They're really good when you dunk them in.

Spine Chief: Hmm. I guess it won't taste bad horribly. I mean, it should be tasty as sweet as sugar.

Raya: Good.

Tong: (carries a plate of sliced mangos with sweet fish sauce to the table) All right. That oughta do it. (notices Spine Chief) Yen?

Spine Chief: Tong?

Tong and Spine Chief: It is you!

[Tong and Spine Chief hug and laugh. Raya sighs and daydreams of Spine Chief who captures four Fang soldiers.]

Spine Chief: Not to worry, Raya. I've got everything under control. (conks four Fang soldiers' heads out)

Raya: Oh, Yen, you're everything I really wanted for a warrior. (shares a kiss with Spine Chief)

[The scene changes to Raya who sucks rapidly.]

Spine Chief: Raya? Hey, are you all right?

Raya: (stops) Huh? Oh, uh, I'm all right. I just daydreamed of you capturing Fang soldiers.

Spine Chief: (chuckles) That's funny. Nobody daydreams like that.

Tong: It's actually a long story.

Boun: Look who's here. The Spine Chief and Dang Hai.

Raya: Dang Hai, I never knew you sent Chai the flower guy.

Dang Hai: Of course I did. He's very happy you blasted the Druun away.

Chai: Of course I am. And you should be proud of yourself for fixing all of Kumandra.

Raya: Thanks, Chai. And I owe you four my life.

Chai: My pleasure.

Dang Hu: No problem.

Dang Hai: Don't mention it, Princess Raya.

Raya: And you know what, Yen? You look really nice today for a dragon nerd.

Spine Chief: Who's the dragon nerd?

Raya: Namaari and I are both dragon nerds. Don't you remember the last time?

Spine Chief: (thinks) Hmm.

[The scene flashes to young Namaari who kicks young Raya to the ground in the sanctuary, the different tribes who break the Dragon Gem to shards, the Druun who have returned, Chief Benja who throws young Raya into the river and turns to stone, Sisu who has been shot by an arrow, Raya who duels Namaari at the royal palace in Fang, retrieves the dragon gem shard to her and turns to stone.]

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

Spine Chief: No! Spine should have the gem! Give me the gem!

Chief Benja: Druun. I love you, my little dewdrop.

Sisu: I trust you, Namaari.

Raya: Namaari!

Namaari: Let's finish this, binturi.

Raya: Then let me take the first step.

[The scene flashes to the Spine Chief who shakes his head and blubbers.]

Spine Chief: Wait. I remember the Dragon Gem being broken to shards.

Raya: Is it true? Did you break the gem?

Spine Chief: Yes, it's true. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. Someone should've lower their crossbow and none of this would've ever happened.

[Raya shares a hug with Spine Chief.]

Spine Chief: (sighs) Oh, Raya. If only you should've caught the gem when you were 12.

[Raya realizes Namaari kicked Tuk Tuk when they were 12.]

Namaari: Hey, dep la, how are you...

Raya: (angrily smacks Namaari hard in the face)

Crowd: (murmuring)

Xiu: (gasps and covers Noi's eyes with her hand)

Namaari: (feels dizzy and groans in pain) What was that for?

Raya: (angrily) That was for kicking Tuk Tuk when we were 12, you binturi!

Namaari: Oh. Sorry. (gags)

Raya: Sorry, everyone.

Spine Chief: Damn. That's completely horrible. Doesn't Namaari know it's not nice to kick Tuk Tuk?

Raya: That's just it, Yen. She didn't know how bad it made me feel.

Spine Chief: By gods, Raya, you shouldn't be hurting other people.

Raya: Oh. Right. Namaari, are you really sorry for kicking Tuk Tuk?

Namaari: (to Tuk Tuk) Tuk Tuk, I'm really sorry for kicking you when we were 12 and I'll never do it ever again.

Tuk Tuk: (accepts Namaari's apology and rubs his head on her belly)

Raya: See, Tuk Tuk? She apologized. Sorry I smacked your face, Namaari.

Spine Chief: Sisu, we didn't mean to break the gem. We're really sorry. Can you ever forgive us?

Sisu: Well, I guess it was an accident, and you did say you were sorry, so I forgive you.

Spine Chief: Oh, thanks.

Raya: (gives a sliced mango dipped in sweet fish sauce to the Spine Chief) Here. You should try it. I dipped it in sweet fish sauce.

Spine Chief: All right. (takes a bite into it) Mm. This tastes sweet and juicy.

Dang Hai: It does? I mean, of course it does.

Noi: Mango juicy as fruit.

Xiu: (chuckles) It does look juicy.

General Wahn: (approaches Raya) Sorry to interrupt, are you Raya?

Raya: Yes, I am. Aw, did that mean Namaari really hurt you badly?

General Wahn: Uh, this isn't one of your tricks, is it?

Raya: Don't worry. Just be a good boy and we'll be able to find the Tail Chief's skeleton tomorrow morning.

General Wahn: You really mean it?

Raya: I most certainly have.

General Wahn: Excellent. We'll be able to find the Tail Chief's skeleton tomorrow morning in no time.

Raya: If you'll excuse us, Namaari, Yen, Dang Hai and I have to sleep in my room.

Boun: Don't you think you should try the jade noodles with Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste?

Raya: Oh. Sure. We'll take one.

[Boun gives four plates of jade noodles with Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste to Raya, Namaari, Spine Chief and Dang Hai.]

Boun: Here you go.

Raya: Thanks, Boun.

[Raya, Namaari, Spine Chief and Dang Hai eat jade noodles with Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste as it burns Spine Chief's tongue.]

Spine Chief: Damn, that's spicy as hell.

Dang Hai: It is so, bro.

Raya: (chuckles) Very funny.

Namaari: Guess it's true.

Raya: And you know what, Namaari? You look really nice today for a dragon nerd.

Namaari: Who's the dragon nerd?

Raya: We're both dragon nerds.

Spine Chief: You said that earlier.

[The scene goes to Raya's room as Raya, Namaari, Tuk Tuk and Buwan sleep in her bed while Spine Chief and Dang Hai sleep on the floor with their sleeping bags.]

Raya: Yen, did you make a sleeping bag out of cotton?

Spine Chief: Yes.

Raya: That's actually a big deal.

Dang Hai: Yes, I know. We're all sleeping in your room and that's actually not bad. Your room seems intact.

Raya: I know. Maybe we should get ourselves a little shuteye.

Dang Hai: Sure, Raya. As you wish.

[Raya, Namaari, Dang Hai, and Spine Chief fall asleep. The scene goes to Heart as the sun rises and the text comes up: "Today". The scene goes back to Raya's room as Raya, Namaari, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Tuk Tuk and Buwan wake up and yawn.]

Raya: (to Tuk Tuk) Good morning, Tuk Tuk.

Namaari: Good morning, Buwan.

Buwan: (meows)

[Raya opens the door and sees Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba.]

Pengu: Good morning, Princess Raya.

Raya: Oh. Good morning.

Sisu: Raya, those are my siblings. Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, and Amba. Brothers, sisters, this is Raya and her new friends.

Pengu: I'm Pengu, I'm her elder brother.

Jagan: I'm Jagan, I'm her younger brother.

Pranee: I'm Pranee, I'm her older sister.

Amba: And I'm Amba, and I'm her older sister.

Raya: Wow. Such an honor to meet you all to know me.

Pengu: Look at you, you're all grown up.

Jagan: You've reassembled the Dragon Gem and blasted the Druun away.

Pranee: Congratulations, Raya. You're the great mighty warrior.

Amba: I'm really happy that you sacrificed yourself for Namaari.

Raya: Thanks.

Spine Chief: Pengu, I'm precisely surprised that you came here.

Tail Chief: Pranee, welcome to Heart.

Dang Hai: Greetings, Jagan. Never thought I'd see you the first time.

Namaari: Amba. What a surprise.

Pengu: But I think we found something.

Raya: Tell me what you found.

Pengu: There was a great storm. Last night we ventured out into Tail to investigate.

[The scene fades up to Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba who play inside the kingdom as Sisu picks up a green beetle.]

Sisu: Come, big brother. Fetch!

Pengu: Your turn. (takes a green Toot n Boom from her and throws it to a dead tree)

[A green beetle toots and booms as the camera pans up to the Tail Chief's skeleton as Sisu takes it out of the tree and lies it down to the ground.]

Pengu: (voiceover) Sisu was wonderfully humorous. Until... the Tail Chief's skeleton, somehow put her in mind of the Tail Chief's tragedy.

[The scene goes to the Tail Chief as she gets stuck in the tree and dies from starvation then the scene goes to Pengu.]

Pengu: Died from stuck in the tree and starvation after she set up the traps many years ago.

Jagan: If the gem should bring the Tail Chief back to life as you said, it would work perfectly.

Raya: You're right. We should all bring the Tail Chief back to life right after breakfast.

Spine Chief: Great idea.

Raya: Hey, Ba!

Chief Benja: (approaches Raya) Yes, Raya?

Raya: Bring the Dragon Gem to Sisu and her siblings.

Chief Benja: No problem.

[Chief Benja runs to the Dragon Gem. He takes it and brings it to Sisu and her siblings.]

Chief Benja: Here.

Pengu: [holds the Dragon Gem] Thanks. I remember the gem.

Sisu: Might wanna hold onto it.

[Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba hold onto the Dragon Gem as they turn into humans.]

Pengu: Wait. What happened? (gasps) Oh, my God. We just shape changed! We're humans! We have body parts! And we have our real rear ends! (Spine Chief sniggers)

Spine Chief: Okay, first of all, I'm not trying to be humorous, but I think that's funny. (laughing hysterically)

Pengu: He's right. It does seem funny.

Jagan: And I thnk this seems fitting to me.

Sisu: Raya, you're actually such a genius. We've turned into humans like I had.

Pranee: Hmm. This looks smooth.

Amba: I love how my human form looks.

Spine Chief: Oh, my God. (sighs) I love that joke. Never gets old. (chuckles)

[The scene goes to Raya who hops onto Tuk Tuk as Namaari hops onto Buwan, Wahn hops onto Ming, Yun hops onto Kang, Atitaya hops onto Tai, Ying hops onto Muto, and Spine Chief and Dang Hai hop onto Ling.]

Raya: Well, looks like we're ready to find the Tail Chief's skeleton.

Chief Benja: Of course you're all ready. And please, be careful out there.

Raya: We will. Let's go.

[Raya, Namaari, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Wahn, Yun, Atitaya, and Ying ride to Tail.]

Chief Benja: I'm so glad that the girls have become friends again.

Chief Virana: (chuckles) I know. Come on, let's go bake a cake.

[The scene goes to Raya who has arrived at the kingdom in Tail as text comes up: "Tail". Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba turn back into humans.]

Raya: (turns her head around) Hmm. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Ah-ha. By God, it's quiet. Too quiet. Absolutely too quiet. You know what that means, Tuk Tuk?

Tuk Tuk: (whines questionably)

Raya: Evil's afoot.

Spine Chief: That's right. And that means we've arrived to the Tail Chief's skeleton.

Namaari: Yep.

Pengu: This is the place.

Sisu; I'm sure we'll be able to bring the Tail Chief back to life.

Tail Warrior: Raya, what are you doing here?

Raya: We've come to bring the Tail Chief back to life.

Tail Warrior: Of course. Enter the kingdom. There might be her skeleton inside.

Raya: Thank you. Stay there, Tuk Tuk. We'll find the Tail Chief's skeleton.

[Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Namaari, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, Amba, Wahn, Atitaya, Yun and Ying enter the kingdom. Inside the kingdom, Raya, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Namaari, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, Amba, Wahn, Atitaya, Yun and Ying find Tail Chief's skeleton until they discover it.]

Raya: We've found her.

[Raya uses her whip sword to swing across the cliff and looks at the Tail Chief's skeleton as she takes the Dragon Gem out of her purse.]

Raya: Well, here goes nothing.

[Raya chants spell as she brings the Tail Chief back to life. The Tail Chief opens her eyes and sees Raya.]

Tail Chief: Whoa. Where am I? I don't remember being brought back to life by a... princess? Who are you?

Raya: I'm Raya of Heart.

Tail Chief: (chuckles softly and looks at the Dragon Gem) It's you, isn't it? You properly know my name. I'm called Xian.

Raya: (hugs Tail Chief) Hey, Xian. We missed you so much.

Tail Chief: So have I, friend. But if I'm still hungry, why have I not eaten everything?

Raya: Because you died from being hungry so I brought you something tasty like jade noodles.

Tail Chief: (picks up jade noodles and eats it) Mm. They taste perfect. Thanks for bringing me back to life. Tail Chief reporting for duty. So, how can I help you today?

Raya: We're having a festival tonight at Fang.

Tail Chief: Really? A festival night at Fang? That's actually wonderful.

Raya: Would you like to come? Kumandra's been unified.

Tail Chief: It has?

Raya: Absolutely.

Tail Chief: Really. I'll come.

Spine Chief: Hey, Raya. I didn't see you there. I thought you said I had true love. So, yes. I have one. And Namaari's your true love. She's your perfect bride. (chuckles)

Raya: Oh. Well, that's okay. Ready?

Tail Chief: (hops onto Raya) Ready.

Raya: Hold on. (swings back to the Spine Chief) Made it.

Tail Chief: It's a miracle.

Raya: Wait a minute. So that makes the Spine Chief... my uncle?

Spine Chief: Yes. That's right. I'm your uncle. And you wouldn't marry your uncles, would you?

Raya: No, that's ridiculous. And Xian's my aunt, right?

Tail Chief: What makes you think I'm your aunt?

Raya: I say you seem so.

Tail Chief: Wow. I'm her aunt. And I'm part of her family.

Dang Hai: Oh, well. I guess when you have lemons, make lemonade. (chuckles)

Raya: Now let's all go back to Heart and tell my father to order Fang to decorate for the festival. Our work here is done.

Spine Chief: You heard Raya. Let's go back to Heart so we can order Fang to decorate for the festival quickly.

General Atitaya: If I may ask, Princess Namaari, why do you keep calling Raya dep la?

Namaari: Oh, uh, to help her put a big bowl of rice on the table, of course?

General Atitaya: Understood. (to the audience) Yep, she loves her.

[Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Namaari, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, Amba, Wahn, Yun, Atitaya and Ying walk out of the kingdom. Outside the kingdom, Raya, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Namaari, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, Amba, Wahn, Yun, Atitaya and Ying come out of the kingdom.]

Tail Warrior: So, did you bring her back to life?

Raya: Yes.

Tail Chief: Hey there.

Tail Warrior: Welcome back to the living.

Tail Chief: (sees the grass) It's amazing. The grass came back.

Raya: I know.

General Yun: Greetings, Xian. I'm Yun, and I'm Raya's new general.

General Ying: And I'm Ying, Chief Xian.

Tail Chief: At your service.

Raya: You could ride on a buffalo, right?

Tail Chief: Oh, that's right. I do have buffalos. (clicks tongue) Come here. This is my buffalo, Jiro. He's good with other people. He's smart, unstoppable and intelligent.

Raya: Greetings, Jiro.

Jiro: (grunts and rubs his head on Raya's right hand)

Raya: Good boy. (scratches Jiro's head)

Tail Chief: See? He loves you.

Raya: All right, let's go back to Heart.

General Wahn: Yes, Princess Raya. As you wish.

[Raya hops onto Tuk Tuk, Namaari hops onto Buwan, Tail Chief hops onto Jiro, Spine Chief and Dang Hai hop onto Ling, Wahn hops onto Ming, Yun hops onto Kang, Atitaya hops onto Tai, and Ying hops onto Muto. Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba turn back into dragons. They ride back to heart as Sisu and her siblings follow Raya's lead. Back at Heart, the text comes up: "Heart". Raya, Namaari, Spine Chief, Tail Chief, Dang Hai, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba have returned.]

Raya: Ba, we're back.

[Chief Benja approaches Raya and hugs her.]

Chief Benja: Welcome home, dewdrop. And look who's brought back to life. Xian the Tail Chief. It's a miracle.

Tail Chief: Good to have you back, Chief Benja. Haven't seen you for six years since Kumandra's been unified.

Chief Virana: Xian. Welcome back to the living.

Namaari: Xian of Tail? Oh, my God, it is you. Haven't seen you for a long time. What happened?

Tail Chief: Many years ago, I set all the traps and then I got stuck in the tree and died from being hungry.

Namaari: Oh. That's a shame.

Tail Chief: I know. I would've been absolutely hungry.

Cheif Benja: So, what can I do for you today?

Raya: I need you to tell Fang to decorate for the festival.

Chief Benja: Sure. Shouldn't be a problem. Hey, Chief Virana.

Chief Virana: Yes, Chief Benja.

Chief Benja: I need you and your people to decorate for the festival when it starts tonight.

Chief Virana: Certainly, Chief Benja. As you wish.

Raya: See? I told you this would work, Uncle Yen.

Spine Chief: Of course it would. And I'm glad you blasted the Druun away along with Boun, Noi, Tong and Namaari.

Dang Hai: That's how Kumandra won by defeating the Druun once again.

Tail Chief: We had each other. That's how Tail turns back into grasslands.

Boun: Is that Chief Xian? Oh, man it is you.

Tail Chief: Captain Boun, you're... actually nice today for a captain.

Boun: Oh, thanks, I thought so, too. Xian, this is my mother, my father, my brother, and my sister.

Boun's Family: Greetings, Chief Xian.

Xiu: Welcome back to the living.

Noi: Aunt Xian? (feels Tail Chief's left shoulder) Aunt Xian, it is you. Haven't seen you many years ago.

Tong: Chief Xian. I assume you're back from the dead.

Tail Chief: Tong. It's such an honor to meet you. Now let's hope Fang has a festival night. Congratulations, Raya.

[Tail Chief shakes her hand with Raya. The scene goes to Raya who takes a shower as he turns the shower off and dries herself with a towel. At Raya's room, Raya wears festive clothes as Sisu puts two armlets on Raya's arms.]

Sisu: This festival's such a big deal. It's the opportunity for you to try something with Namaari. It's important that you go on your skippy, but he's at the spa, so you're going on me.

[The scene goes to Tuk Tuk who gets all washed and cleaned and has cucumber on his eyes. Chai washes Tuk Tuk while Boun looks after Tuk Tuk.]

Boun: I'm ready, but he won't be leaving here anytime soon.

[The scene goes to Sisu who gets close to Raya.]

Sisu: Dance around her, give that look and move your body all the time. She will love it.

Raya: Sisu, I don't think I should have to.

Sisu: Well, just do it with what you have. (places Raya onto her saddle) Ready?

Raya: No.

Sisu: That's the spirit. Let's go.

Chief Benja: We'll be at the festival.

[The scene goes to Sisu who flies to Fang as text comes up: "Fang". Sisu lands on the gateway and walks over it.]

Sisu: Open the gates! The soon-to-be-wife is coming through!

[The gates open as Sisu and Raya enter the festival.]

Raya: Sisu, I don't know how to dance!

Sisu: Wait, what?

Raya: (groans and facepalms) I spent six years in the desert.

Sisu: Okay, let's go to my plan B. (lifts Raya up) Get closer to her and wait for my signal.

Raya: Okay.

[Raya goes closer to Namaari who places a plate of grapes on the table.]

Namaari: Dep la. You're looking good tonight. The festival was well elaborated. What's wrong with you? Did my cats eat your tongue?

Raya: Namaari... I...

[Sisu's tail slaps Raya's foot as Raya kisses Namaari.]

Raya: Namaari, I... I didn't... I'm sorry. Look, it wasn't my intention.

Namaari: You are lucky that I'm not armed.

Raya: Can we talk somewhere else? Heart is still recovering, but my room is intact.

Namaari: Mm-hmm.

Raya: That way, please.

Namaari: Oh. (holds Raya's hand)

[Sisu drinks coconut water with a straw. While they walk to the balcony, they see Tuk Tuk and Buwan get along with each other.]

Namaari: Hey, uh, should we take them?

Raya: They are having fun.

[At the balcony, Raya opens the door and places her arms on the ledge along with Namaari.]

Raya: (exhales sharply) I'll be direct. 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 trusted in me. So, do you accept?

Namaari: (sighs) Yes, Raya. It's what I want the most.

[Raya and Namaari hug as Sisu secretly shakes a branch to make the leaves fall.]

Sisu: (whispers) Go on, fall.

[The scene goes to Chief Benja who has a conversation with the Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai at the courtyard.]

Spine Chief: Chief Benja, I'm surely happy that the festival seems exciting.

Chief Benja: Aw, shucks. I'm the only person who knows a lot about Kumandra.

Tail Chief: Thanks to your daughter, she brought me back to life during daylight.

Dang Hai: Yeah, that's the nicest difference, isn't it? I mean, the festival seems fun to us.

Boun: Would you like jade noodles with mango scones? They're good.

Tail Chief: Absolutely.

Spine Chief: I'll have one.

Dang Hai: Me too.

Boun: All right. (gives three plates of jade noodles and mango scones to Spine Chief, Tail Chief and Dang Hai) Here you go.

Spine Chief: Oh, man, Boun, you sure can make the Boun-goes-the-dynamite chili paste. (takes a bite into it with a fork) Mm. I was right, it does taste very wild.

Tail Chief: Hmm. No wonder I haven't eaten this before. This tastes both mild and tangy.

Dang Hai: (takes a bite into a mango scone) Hmm. Juicy.

[Tuk Tuk, Uka, Dyan and Pan meet up with Tai and Dao.]

Tuk Tuk: (grunts)

Tai: (meows questionably)

Uka: (chitters)

Dao: (meows and rubs his head on Tuk Tuk)

Tuk Tuk: (grunts happily)

[Tuk Tuk, Uka, Dyan, Pan, Tai and Dao play nice and get along with each other.]

Crowd: Aww.

Chief Virana: Listen, Benja, I know what it's like to think that you used your sword to make my soldiers step back, and it hurts. I'm here for you if you need me.

Chief Benja: Thanks, Virana. I knew you'd understand.

Chief Virana: (sighs) No big deal. (kisses Benja on the nose) Oh! Benja, I'm really sorry. (stammers hesitantly) Was that okay?

Chief Benja: Hmm. Maybe you should do it again, you know, just so I can make sure, I mean precisely sure...

[Chief Benja shares a kiss with Chief Virana as they make out with each other and moan.]

Chief Benja: Again. You can kiss me all over again.

Chief Virana: Oh, Benja.

Chief Benja: (covers Virana's mouth with a finger) Shh. Jury's still out, Virana. Less talking, more kissing. I'm gonna make extra sure... will you be my wife?

Chief Virana: Oh, Benja. Of course I'll be your wife.

[Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba have a conversation with the Fang children.]

Pengu: As you can see, this Dragon Gem has been created by us before we've been turned to stone by the Druun.

Fang Children: Wow!

[Back at the balcony, Namaari shows Raya how to dance until they finish.]

Raya: Wow, Namaari. You sure know how to dance and you showed me how. Thank you.

Namaari: No problem. So, you could've chose any place in Fang, and you chose my bedroom?

Raya: Yes.

Namaari: Wow.

Buwan: (meows and walks to the royal palace)

Raya: What?

Namaari: I think Buwan needs me at the royal palace. So I better go.

Raya: You forget anything? (stammers) I can get...

Namaari: There's something I'd like to do before. (kisses Raya back) Now I can go.

Raya: You can try. I love you.

Namaari: I love you too. Meet me at my bedroom.

Raya: I will.

[Raya and Namaari walk out of the door as they split up. Raya goes to see Benja, Spine Chief, Sisu, Dang Hai and Tail Chief. Namaari goes to her serlots. At the courtyard, Raya meets up with Benja, Spine Chief, Dang Hai, Sisu and Tail Chief.]

Sisu: So, how'd it go?

Raya: Actually, it went lovely.

Sisu: That's good to hear.

Spine Chief: You didn't just kiss Namaari, did you?

Raya: Not at all, Uncle Yen.

Spine Chief: Hmm. Now that's not something you see every day.

Chief Benja: Did you have a nice talk with Namaari?

Raya: Yes, Ba. I sure did.

Chief Benja: That's great. You sure made friends with her when you were 12.

Tail Chief: Raya, I can't thank you enough for giving me some jade noodles.

Raya: No problem, Aunt Xian. You see, when I brought the gem to Tail, I had to bring you back to life. I think Pengu could've created the five gems.

Pengu: Raya, did you say I could've created five?

Raya: Yes. With different colors for the other tribes.

Pengu: Oh. Why didn't you say so?

Raya: I did say so.

Pengu: All right. You have my command. Sisu, come. We'll create the other four gems with different colors in no time.

Sisu: Yes, Pengu.

Raya: You hear that, Uncle Yen? He's to create the four gems with different colors for the tribes.

Spine Chief: Oh, wow. That seems worthy. (chuckles and rubs his hands) I hope it's also free or properly worth money.

Chief Benja: You know what? You're actually right. They'll create the other four gems with different colors.

Raya: Of course they will, Ba. It seems nothing could go wrong.

Pengu: All right, on the count to three, we'll create the four gems with different colors for the tribes. Ready? One. Two. Three.

[Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba create the four gems with different colors.]

Pengu: Voila. We've finally created the four gems with different colors for the tribes. Let's give them to the chiefs of the tribe lands.

Sisu: Yes, Pengu. One for Spine. (gives the dark blue dragon gem to the Spine Chief)

Spine Chief: Thank you, Almighty Sisu.

Jagan: One for Talon. (gives the purple dragon gem to Dang Hai)

Dang Hai: Thanks.

Pranee: One for Fang. (gives the orange dragon gem to Virana)

Chief Virana: Thank you ever so much.

Amba: And one for Tail. (gives the yellow dragon gem to the Tail Chief)

Tail Chief: Gracias.

Spine Chief: (whispers) Wow. I can hold the power.

Tail Chief: Me too.

Dang Hai: What do you know? That looks useful.

Chief Virana: What a lovely color gem.

Raya: See? What did I tell you? They'd create the other four gems with colors.

Namaari: Hey, Raya. You should take a look at this.

Raya: What is it?

Namaari: It's a newborn female serlot. And I call her Wang.

Raya: Hello there. (rubs Wang's head.)

Wang: (mews)

Raya: Hello there, Buwan. How's my favorite cat doing? (rubs Buwan's head) Awww, you're so cute, you big, sweet furball. (Buwan purrs and turns over) Who's a good serlot? You are! You sure like belly rubs, huh? Yes, you do. Who's the sweetest serlot in Kumandra? Yes, you are! Ooh, you have a soft fur. Your fangs look really sharp. (cooing) What a lovely sweetie boy you are.

Buwan: (meows happily)

Spine Chief: So this must be the serlot family. This would be the big one.

General Atitaya: Princess Namaari, I see Raya is enjoying her visit of Fang, and you seem to be enjoying her company.

Namaari: She's... tolerable. I wouldn't probably say...

Raya: Hey Namaari, didn't see ya there. I thought you wanted to show me how to ride a serlot today. You seemed so excited about it, too.

General Atitaya: Understood, princess.

[The scene goes to Raya and Namaari who sleeps in Namaari's bed with Tuk Tuk, Buwan and Tai.]

Raya: Oh, my. You were right. The bed is so big.

Namaari: Yes, I know how the bed looks big to us. I told you you'd end up surrounded by cats.

Raya: Well, it's not that bad. They seem friendly and nice.

Namaari:

[Thi:e scene flashes to the forest as thunder rumbles and the camera pans down to the ground. The ground cracks open as the purple flash glows and the hand emerges and impales the ground. The scene flashes to Namaari who has a nightmare and the scene ripples to Raya who gives the dragon gem shard to Namaari and gets turned to stone by the Druun. The scene flashes to Namaari who wakes up and breathes raggedly.]

Namaari: The third dream this week. (breathes calmly, stiffens and swallows) Oh, why does this always happen to... Oh. (slowly caresses Raya's hand)

Raya: (snoring)

Namaari: Mmm.

[Namaari goes back to sleep as the scene goes to the Druun dragon named Quynh who emerges from the ground, opens his eyes as they glow purple and lifts the hidden kingdom to the middle of the forest as he brings the Druun back to life. The scene goes to Namaari's bedroom as the crack of dawn appears. Raya, Namaari, Tuk Tuk, Buwan, and Tai wake up, yawn and stretch.]

Raya: Good morning, Tuk Tuk.

[The door knocks and Dang Hai opens the door.]

Raya: Dang Hai?

Dang Hai: You'll never guess what happened. Quynh escaped.

Raya: Quynh escaped?

[The scene cuts to Raya who runs to the Spine Chief.]

Raya: Hey! Uncle Yen!

Spine Chief: Raya, what is it?

Raya: Something terrible happened. The Druun are back.

Spine Chief: What? The Druun? But that's impossible. Wait a minute. They've... They've come back to life. They were resurrected again by Quynh who escaped. I'm gonna go see Sisu about this.

Sisu: About what?

Spine Chief: About that Quynh had escaped and brought the Druun back to life.

Sisu: Quynh. He's brought the Druun back to life. I thought the Druun were blown away. And now Quynh had escaped from the underworld.
