[sighing]
[grunting]
- [explosion] - [yelping]
Deet? Deet!
- Uh... I'm fine! I'm fine! - Deet!
[gasping]
[Rian] What in Thra was that explosion?
- Are you all right? - [gasping]
Rian! Of course, I'm fine. How are you?
[sighing]
[Rian] Uh...
Um... Deet...
- Mm-hm? - Have you been making bombs?
[nervous chuckle] No!
Well, smoke bombs. So, yes?
It's an old Grottan trick for clearing out hollerbat nests.
Oh, it stings the eyes something fierce.
My father accidentally got a face full of smoke one time,
and he couldn't see straight for three days.
[laughing]
You Grottan have a lot of tricks.
I guess so.
[sighing]
We'll need them if the other Gelfling don't show.
They'll be here.
What makes you so sure?
Hope.
[sighing]
Um...
I...
I was thinking.
Hm?
I never properly got to see the Caves of Grot.
Maybe we could go back when this is all over.
When everything is back like it was.
[sighing] I don't think anything will ever be like it was again, Rian.
- [Rian]No. - [gasping]
It will be better.
[gasping] Uh, I should get back to work.
- [Rian] Oh. - [panting]
I'm sorry.
[panting]
[sighing]
[panting]
[rumbling]
[wheezing]
The First Brother rises.
It is time we march on Stone-in-the-Wood.
Do you sleep?
Of course, sire.
Do you dream?
- Dream? - Yes.
No, Emperor.
Neither did I,
until I began my experiments upon the Darkening.
Now, my slumber is riddled by nightmares.
Do you remember what it was like... before we were rent asunder?
- I don't think of such things. - And yet the thoughts come.
[grumbles]
[sighing]
- I remember suffering. - Yes.
- Guilt. - Yes.
And sorrow.
But it's hard to recall, lik...
A dream?
A nightmare.
Yes.
We know the torment that lies behind us,
but what torment waits beyond this existence?
All the more reason to hold on to life with all claws...
no matter the cost.
[exhaling]
Come... Yes...
[grunting]
[wheezing]
[groaning]
[grunting]
Emperor, what are you doing?
What I must!
Gathering the Darkening.
[groaning]
[pulsating]
[electricity buzzing]
- [thud] - [whooshing]
No matter the cost!
[exhaling]
[Chamberlain] Mm.
Ah... Gruenaks.
- [muffled moaning] - Ha! Hm?
What is this, hm?
Out of lord's way.
[muffled moaning]
Why so sad, wretches?
Chamberlain is pleased with Gruenaks. Plan worked to perfection.
Chamberlain is back in Emperor's good graces,
where Chamberlain belongs.
[muffled mumbling]
Mm?
- [muffled mumbling continues] - Mm?
Agh... Go?
Leave? No, no, no!
Still much to do, plan not yet done.
[muffled groaning]
Chamberlain will decide when Gruenak service is finished.
Until then, Gruenaks will stay right where are.
- Hmm... - [grunting]
[muffled moaning]
Hm!
[muffled moaning]
[panting]
Gather the Skeksis in the Crystal Chamber.
Yes. As you command, sire.
- Emperor! - [Emperor] Eh?
I have completed the modifications to our armor.
I look forward to putting it to marvelous use against the Gelfling.
You will remain behind and build the soldiers Chamberlain promised me.
But, Emperor,
I wish to fight to prove my physical prowess in battle
against nefarious forces.
You? Fight?
[laughing]
Out of the question. Your studious talents lie elsewhere.
Of course, my Emperor.
Come, General.
Time to be on our way.
We have nefarious forces to battle.
[chuckling]
[cackling]
- [grunting] - [Emperor] Weakling!
[grumbling]
[growling]
[grunting]
Ah!
[swooshing]
Huh...
[Brea sighs]
[gasping] Rian!
- Huh? - [Brea chuckles]
Brea!
[both sighing]
It's so good to see you.
I'm so glad you're safe.
I have something that belongs to you.
- [Rian] Here. - My journal!
Thank you. [chuckling]
Brea? Brea!
[panting]
[Rian chuckling]
- Brea! You're back! - Deet!
Deet, I missed you.
Where's Hup?
The Heretic and Wanderer are nursing him back to health at the Circle of the Suns.
Good.
Are you alone?
I brought a few friends.
[sighing]
Rian...
I ask your forgiveness.
You came to me in your time of need, and I turned you away.
I did not know better...
but I should have.
You were only trying to protect your clan.
I'd expect no less of my Maudra.
- [sighing] - [Gelfling soldier] Hm.
How did you escape the Hunter?
I didn't. I was taken to the castle.
We were all prisoners.
Mother Aughra traded her life for ours.
[Seladon] The Skeksis drained her.
Mother Aughra? She's...
[Brea] Dead.
[all sighing]
We must prove ourselves worthy of her sacrifice.
[all murmuring in agreement]
But how can we stand against the Skeksis?
There are so few of us.
More will come.
And we have the Dual Glaive.
I'm not afraid.
Not anymore.
I'm done with running.
I'll die where I stand before I run again.
- [murmuring in agreement] - And we still stand with you.
[Rian] All right, then. Let's get to work.
[overlapping Skeksis chatter]
[growling]
[hissing]
[cackling]
[screeching] War!
[screaming]
Indeed, the Skeksis are bigger, stronger. But we have a few surprises.
[grunting] Now you.
Mine's broken.
[screaming]
[Skeksis wailing]
[Seladon] Good.
[flames roar]
Mm...
[sniffling]
[Chamberlain] Ah...
[roaring]
- [screaming] - [metal clicking]
- [roaring] - [metal clicking]
[Maudra Fara panting]
- [Maudra Fara] There. - [Sealdon panting]
[Skeksis grunting]
[both exclaiming]
Good!
[Skeksis howling]
[cheering]
[all cheering]
[Skeksis roaring]
[rattling]
[grunting]
I am incontrovertibly the most abused creature in all of Thra.
[grunting]
Detestable Arathim.
- Mm... - What are you looking at?
Well? Turn the wheel, Gruenak.
[muffled muttering]
- [wheel rattles] - [grunting]
[electricity buzzing]
Let's see...
[zapping]
Hm...
- [grumbling] - [zapping]
Very, very interesting.
[groaning]
[grunting]
The fibrous viscera continue to reject revivification.
- Hm... - [zapping]
[groaning]
I will need to find a much stronger source of connective tissue
to augment the fibroblasts.
Hm... But from where?
- [growling] - [muffled groaning]
Ah! Ah!
- [zapping] - [gurgling]
[screaming]
[splatting]
[gurgling]
[Gruenak exclaims]
[powering down]
[retching]
Enough!
There is only so much callous disrespect
a Lord of the Crystal can endure!
I have earned a bit of genuine frivolity.
How fortunate I tucked a few vials of essence away
for just such a festal occasion.
Mm...
- Ah... - [squawking]
- [squeaking] - [grunting]
Now, clean up this mess, slaves.
[muffled muttering]
Ah... [chuckling]
[Scientist cackling]
[creature hissing]
- [screeching - [splatting]
Hm?
[muffled murmuring]
[growling]
[vocalizing]
[Heretic vocalizing]
[Heretic humming]
Archer...
dead?
- Not... quite. - [gasping]
But not alive either.
A force binds urVa to Thra...
even... now.
Huh?
[speaking Podling language]
But what could be?
- Aughra. - Hm?
Hmm...
[Scientist squawking]
[cackling]
[music machine playing]
[Skeksis cackling]
[laughing]
Yes! Good! Play for your Emperor!
[snarling] Faster! Louder!
- [cackling] - [Podlings gasping]
[playing music machine]
Glorious.
Podlings!
[Podlings yelping]
- [trolley rattles] - Your Emperor is hungry.
[Podlings moaning]
[shuddering]
Expediency is key.
An Emperor must not be made to wait.
[grunting, sniffing]
What is this offal?
This rubbish is not fit for an Emperor.
- [grunting] - [crashing]
[Podlings exclaim]
[panting]
When we fail our Emperor, we must be punished!
[moaning]
[wailing]
[speaking Podling language]
[growling]
[yelling in Podling language]
[Scientist] Pugnacious Podling!
- Ah... ah! - [Podlings gasping]
- [Podlings yelling] - Get back here, Podling.
Where are you scuttling off to?
[speaking in Podling language]
I'm not done with you malingerers!
[grunting]
Huh?
Hm...
- [Hunter snoring] - Meh...
Hunter?
SkekMal?
Hm?
- [Hunter snarling] - [screaming]
- [Scientist] Ahh! - [groaning]
[roaring]
You're... You're alive!
Where is Rian?
Stone-in-the-Wood. The other Skeksis are there already.
They've gone to extirpate the Gelfling uprising.
- Yet you remain behind? - [whimpering]
Useless coward! [growling]
The Emperor commanded me to stay behind. I wanted to fight!
I am not a coward!
[sighs]
SkekMal!
[Hunter growling]
No...
Archer?
[speaking Podling language]
[Hunter grunting]
[roaring]
- Oh! - [grumbling]
[gasps] Well.
That was... exciting.
- Yes! - [Archer groaning]
[breathing heavily]
[wheezing]
[door creaking]
[creature growling]
Mm...
[sniffing]
Agh, peachberries!
[grunting]
[panting]
Hm...
[Seladon] For Tavra.
[sighs]
[Brea] For Mother.
[Gourmand growling]
[clinking]
They're here.
[Skeksis growling]
[overlapping Skeksis laughter]
[growling]
[squeaking]
[Skeksis] Huh?
This?
This is the mighty rebellion I was promised?
[Skeksis laughing]
We'll be home in time for lunch.
Ha! Look at their tiny little swords!
Ha! That's adorable. [cackling]
Oh, I wanna squish the green one.
The reign of the Skeksis is over.
All Gelfling rise against you.
Is that so? Where are they?
They'll be here.
Nobody coming, hopeless wretch.
Gelfling will never rise.
You will all die here!
- [Skeksis cheering] - [Scroll-Keeper] Die!
Now... For nothing!
[Skeksis laughing]
[Ritual-Master] Oh, the impudence!
Then our sacrifice will inspire others.
[all snickering]
Just as my mother's did.
If it's a fight you want,
I'll give you one.
Just you...
and me.
Hm...
Is beneath mighty Emperor to face lowly Gelfling in combat.
Hm?
Best left to fearsome General, yes?
Sire...
it would be my honor to deliver you Rian's head.
Very well.
And fetch me the Dual Glaive while you're about it.
[Skeksis cackling]
With pleasure.
Are you sure about this?
- [Gourmand cackling] Make him bleed! - No.
But I have hope.
- Be careful, Rian. - [Gourmand] Stuff him good!
- [Collector] Teach him a lesson! - [Gelfling] Go on, Rian! Go on!
[Rian] Shall we?
[yelling]
[growling]
Let's have some fun!
- [grunting] - [clanging]
[Skeksis gasping]
- [cackling] - We have to help him.
- Pest! [grunting] - [Rian exclaims]
[crashing]
We stick to the plan.
- [gasping, grunting] - [metal clanking]
- [General] Pitiful. - [thuds]
[clanging]
[Ritual-Master] Teach that Gelfling a lesson!
- [sword whooshing] - [Skeksis chuckling]
- [Rian panting] - [rumbling]
- [General] Where are you going, Gelfling? - [foreboding music playing]
- [Skeksis exclaiming] - [Skeksis] Wait.
- [Skeksis laughing] - [Skeksis muttering]
[Deet] Rian!
[General] Any more tricks?
- [grunting] - [Gelfling gasping]
[General] You'll die!
[Rian grunting]
- [gasping] - [Rian exclaims]
[Skeksis screaming]
[gasping]
Yes.
[Deet] Rian.
[whooshing]
You filthy Gelfling! What are you doing?
- [sword pulsating] - [panting]
Be done with it. Kill me! [moaning]
I'm no killer!
[Skeksis gasping]
[gasping]
[General] Huh?
How could it...
[Dual Glaive ringing]
Huh...
- [Skeksis groaning] - [Ritual-Master] No...
[wheezing]
[groaning]
- Forgive me, Emperor. - Leave.
- You failed me. - No!
- [General wheezing] - [Gourmand] No!
- [Emperor] For Shame! - [Ritual-Master] Lousy skekVar!
[overlapping Skeksis chattering]
Mm...
- Stand ready. - [swords clinking]
Next!
Skeksis!
[Skeksis battle cry]
[overlapping yelling]
- [Gelfling male] They're coming! - [Gelflings shouting]
[Maudra Fara] Get ready!
Here! Take these!
[Brea panting]
Attack!
Now!
[panting]
[overlapping yelling]
[grunting]
[bombs exploding]
For Thra!
[Skeksis screaming]
Yes!
[Deet] Take that!
[screaming]
My eyes!
Yes!
[Kylan cheering]
[Rian] Charge!
[bombs continue to explode]
[Gelflings grunting]
[screaming]
- [Deet] Swap left! - [Brea] Right behind you!
- [Rian grunting] - [shrieking] They're everywhere!
- [Gelfling gasps] - I will not be bullied!
[screeching]
Come back, you fool!
[Seladon panting] Who wants more?
Let's see how you like this.
[grunting]
[swooshing]
[Maudra Fara] No! Seladon!
[yelling]
[Scroll-Keeper laughing]
[crashing]
[grunting] Fara!
[gasping]
I got one! Oh, did you see? Did you see?
[Scroll-Keeper] I got one!
[Skeksis cheering, cackling]
Where are you...
bug?
Eh?
Oh, look.
- [Maudra Fara pants] - There you are!
- [grunting] - [barking]
Huh? Ah!
[Scroll-Keeper hissing]
- [growling] - [crunching]
[Scroll-Keeper groans]
[Scroll-Keeper] Let go of me!
- Fara! - [wings fluttering]
- [Scroll-Keeper grunting] - [growling]
[grunting]
[Seladon] Here!
[Scroll-Keeper] Mangy fuzzball! Argh!
Get off me!
[grunting]
[growling]
No, wait!
[Scroll-Keeper] That's mine!
Bring it back so I can kill it!
[yelping]
[creature growling]
- Here... - [Maudra Fara moaning]
How badly are you hurt?
Had to protect the All-Maudra.
- I'm gonna get you out of here. - [Gourmand groaning]
Ow, get off... Get off me! Get off me!
Do you hear?
It's Thra...
calling me home.
[whimpering]
- It sounds... like music. - [Seladon whimpering]
No, you can't give up.
You have to fight.
We need you.
[bombs exploding]
Your mother...
would be proud.
[sighing]
[exhaling]
- [Maudra Fara shudders] - [creature whimpering]
- [Seladon gasps] - [whimpering]
[gasping]
[howling]
[Seladon crying]
She's home.
[both sobbing]
[grunting]
Ah...
Mmm.
Good.
[muffled crying]
- What is this? - [gasping]
Mutiny!
- No! No slave! - [muffled yelling]
How dare you threaten me!
I am skekTek, the Scientist!
I am a master of life and death.
I am a genius! I am a Lord of the Crystal!
I... am... Skeksis!
- [screaming] - [Gruenaks grunting]

[Scientist] Savages!

You bad!
[Scientist] No, help! Release me!

Marvelous cretin!

Know your place.

You must pay for this betrayal!
- [Gruenak whimpering] - [Scientist yelling]

Hm...
Oh, what a waste.
Or perhaps... not.

- You're not going to dare! - [swords clinking]
[Gourmand grunting]
Get it off! Get it off! What is it?
Get it off me! Help!
[Emperor] Where is Rian?
- [Rian] Here I am! - [growling]
[Rian exclaims]
[Ritual-Master] Blasphemer!
[swords clinking]
- Huh? - [grunting]
[Ritual-Master] No! Get off!
[Rian yelling]

[crashing]
[wheezing]
Mm...
General.
Huh? Hm?
There you are.
[wheezing] Cursed Gelfling...
Good!
Fought dirty.
I'm not surprised. They have no honor.
[groaning]
Friend...
skekSil..
I'm badly wounded.
Please, help me!
Mm...
No!
[gurgling]
You... took...
my... seat.

Rian!
[Hunter grunting]
[Rian groaning]
[groaning]
Ah...
- Greetings, Podling. - [gasping]
Archer? Archer!
[speaking Podling language] Wait. Hup get help.
- No time. Help me up. - [panting]
Your friends are in danger.
[overlapping commotion]
Enough!
[Gelflings scream]
SkekMal lives!
I had a dream
that I was one that became two
that became one again.
I looked through my dark half's eyes
and knew Aughra was right.
Is this your trophy, Gelfling?
This toy?
[grunting]
- No! No! - [sword swooshing]
[Skeksis cheering]
[Skeksis cackling]
Mm...
The hunt must end.
Mm.
[Gelfling gasping]
[Hunter snarling]
Rian!
Let him go!
Quiet, puny Gelfling!
I have conquered death!
I return more powerful than ever!
More powerful than Thra itself!
Nothing can stop the hunt!
- [Gelfling yelling] - No!
[Skeksis chuckling]
[Hunter laughing]
Now, we shall see
what lies at the dream's end.
[gasping]
[Rian shrieking]
- [shuddering] - [Rian screaming]
Archer!
[groaning, grunting] What are... what...
[wailing]

- [screaming] - [crackling]
Mm...
[jingling]
[ringing]
[all gasping]
[exhaling] Ah!
[all gasping]
I am reborn!
Oh, no! Not her again!
[Gelfing] Praise Thra!
- The witch is back! - Does nothing stay dead anymore?
[panting]
Mother Aughra, are you all right?
No. I just came back from the dead.
- Not easy. Help me! - Oh, yes!
Mother Aughra,
- I suppose this was your plan all along. - It was, Emperor.
- I wasn't sure it would work. - Huh? Oh.
Now, drag your leathery tails back to your castle
and pray I punish you no further!
[Skeksis scoffing]
Hollow threats.
Your hand trembles. You can barely stand!
Yet I stand.
Unlike the Hunter.
This changes nothing!
You few Gelfling...
are no match for the Lords of the Crystal!
- [Skeksis cheering] - [Gelfling shuddering]
Skeksis!
Finish them!
- [arrows thudding] - [yelling]
[gasping]
- [confused chatter] - Huh?
[Sifa Gelfling] The Sifa stand with the heroes of Thra!
[all gasping]
[Mother Aughra] Ah, yes!
Ha!
[Gurjin and Naia] The Drenchen fight for Thra!
[gasping]
The Spriton ride to battle!
[Skeksis groaning]
- The Grottan face the suns once again! - [Gelfling] Ha!
- [Skeksis] Who are these? - The Dousan heed your call.
[confused Skeksis chatter]
The Vapra have come for Thra!
- [Rian] They came! - [Skeksis shuddering]
[Rian] The Seven Clans!
[Arathim scuttling]
[Librarian] Oh! Oh!
[hissing]
The Arathim fight by our side.
[exhaling]
Ah... ha!
- We are surrounded! - [Skeksis gasping]
They are everywhere!
[Arathim hissing]
Emperor, no choice. Skeksis must retreat.
Cannot win!
I will not lose.
No matter the cost!
- [metal clanking] - [Emperor grunting]

Behold the power of the Darkening!

[Skeksis cackling]
What? Huh?
Ha! [laughing]

- Retreat! - [Gourmand] To the Castle! Quickly!
[Ornamentalist] Retreat! Retreat!
[panting] Emperor! Emperor, we must go, yes?
- Ye... Yes... - [Gourmand] To the castle!
- My most trusted advisor. - Yes!
- To the castle! - To the castle! Good! Good!
[Skeksis panting]
[overlapping frightened chatter]
They're running away!
[cheering]
[overlapping chatter]
Ha!
- Good! - [laughing]
Yeah!
[Drenchen] Yes!
- They're leaving! - Yes!
Hello! Haha!
[exhaling]
[Gelflings hooting]
[cheering continues]
- [Brea] We did it! - [Gelfling female] Yes!
[moaning]
- Kylan! - Gurjin!
Yes!
[sighs]
- [Kylan] Oh, Naia! - You did it.
[both sighing]
We did it.
[Gelfling 1] Stone-in-the-Wood shall rise again.
- Thanks to Deet. - [Gelfling 2] Were you scared?
[chuckling]
- Ah, Gurjin! You made it! - [Gurjin] Brea!
- Deet? - [Gurjin] Good to see you my friend.
[Rian] Deet? Deet!
[overlapping chatter]
Deet!
Well done, my lad. Well done.
Oh, thank you. Deet...
[Brea] Oh, sister!
- [Rian] Deet! - Hm.
Oh, Mother Aughra!
[crying]
I guess you want a hug, all right.
Ah, the heroes of Thra, together again!
Oh, Gurjin, you've made us proud!
- Gurjin! - Seladon!
- [sighing]
[chuckling]
I guess everyone wants to hug a hero.
- [hissing] - Whoa!
Uh...
Ah, why not?
- [all laughing] - [uplifting music playing]
Thank you.
Who's next?
- [Gurjin] Yeah! Mother Aughra, come on! - What are you doing?
Give me a moment. I may be newborn, but I'm still old.
[celebratory chatter]
- [Gurjin] Yes! - [Aughra] I'm moving as fast as I can.
[overlapping chatter]
[Gelfling hooting]
[Gelfling cheering]
[gasping]
[exhaling]
[overlapping chatter]
[Mother Aughra] Ah...
The lost shard of the Crystal of Truth...
found at last.
This is what the Heretic wanted us to find.
Not the weapon...
but the shard.
The shard is the key to ending Skeksis power
and uniting the Gelfling.
[panting]
Ah...
Gelfling...
the shard calls to you.
You fought well.
This day is ours.
And tomorrow...
Tomorrow, three suns rise on a new world.
Nothing will ever be the same.
We have made new enemies,
and lost old friends.
But the fallen are not truly gone.
They have joined the song of Thra once more.
Listen...
- And you will hear them in the wind. - [gasping]
[Mother Aughra] For the song has changed.
[panting] Deet?
Deet!
[Mother Aughra] It sounds like hope.
Deet!
[Mother Aughra] But take care. Hope is fragile.
Hope is delicate, like a crystal shard.
Deet?
[Mother Aughra] Once lost...
now found.
And easily stolen.
[branches crunching]
Huh?
This day's victory does not belong to a single Gelfling or a single clan.
It belongs to all of us!

Sublime, yes, yes! Superb!

I will build their army, yes!
The greatest army that Thra has ever seen!

But for how much longer?
The... the Gelfling...

We will be overwhelmed!

Yes.
So sad.
- Ah... we are doomed! - [Skeksis wailing]
