[ominous music playing]
You dare mention the Insect King in my presence?
Are you here on his behalf?
No, I'm in this for me. I've never even met the Insect King.
Never speak that name to me.
-[growls] -Ugh!
Point taken.
The gem you seek is no treasure from an old love.
Behold.
[ominous music continues]
[Nurenya] The Insect King and his army
destroyed my people.
He used the Emerald and the key-staff
to hunt and cage magical creatures for parts,
selling them to the highest bidder.
Whoa.
I'm starting to see how the Gryphon ended up in the Mirage.
[screaming]
The Insect King stole my heart…
but I still managed to take his Emerald.
That evil cockroach ripped my heart out for financial gain.
That's awful.
But you're still alive.
You're like a fish zombie.
It's kind of awesome.
'Tis a fate worse than death.
My heart imbues my young with the power to hatch.
Without it, I'm left alone and powerless for eternity.
Good thing you just met the world's greatest Tracker.
I can get your heart back, Your Highness.
I just need his Emerald.
My Mermaid Realm would rise again.
Yes, you have a deal, Tracker.
Your Highness, I will win your heart.
Not romantically. I'm just--
You know what? Scratch that, I'm gonna go.
[sniffs]
Whoo!
Boy, you smell like old cans of tuna.
Oh, thanks. Now the Insect King sells his items at The Mystic Outpost.
That's where the heart will be.
The Outpost? You know where it is?
Yep. And I've always wanted to go. It's a Tracker rite of passage.
Whoo-ho!
The Bureau's been trying to bust that place forever.
It's a lion's den of deadly weapons and dark magic.
I'm going in with you.
Now cool your jets, Lucy. We're not going there to bust anybody.
They'd kick me out of the Tracker Union if anyone knew I brought a Dowser.
They'd throw me in the Tickle Pit, which is not as fun as it sounds.
No, listen.
The fate of the magical world rests on this mission.
No way I'm letting you out of my sight.
Plus, I've got the keys to the truck.
-No, you don't. -[keys jangling]
Hoagie, you're gonna choke.
I'm not gonna choke.
[chokes]
Look, I'm not breaking the Code.
I need you two to stay in the truck.
And I need you not to tell me what to do,
just where we're headed.
[sighs] Fine.
Great. Now buckle up.
[engine starts]
[tires screeching]
[brakes screeching]
[yelps]
You trying to turn me into a pancake?
I said, "Buckle up."
We're here.
This is gonna be so cool.
This super creepy island lair? No, thanks.
I'm good right here with my ice cream.
Unh-uh-uh-uh. Ice cream later. Let's go.
Let's not. Trust me, this is definitely a one-man job.
[body thuds]
[chomps]
Tyson, tell me you have the info I need to infiltrate the Outpost.
[grunts]
It's definitely not a one-man job.
Kel runs the joint,
and nothing goes in or out without him noticing.
I told him I was sending a Gorgon hunter with a pig sidekick to buy new equipment…
Oh, man.
Well, that'll be me.
…while someone else sneaks in to pinch the merch.
And that'll be me.
Oh, oh, and get this, Kel sells a tonic made with genuine Mermaid Heart.
Mm! [chews]
And heads up, Daniel.
The Pie Maker upped the bounty on your head.
It's so good, I might turn you in. Wait, can I turn you in?
Uh, thanks Tyson. Gotta go. We've got bigger fish to fry.
Hey, don't turn me off--
Mm… Fried fish.
Remember, you and Hoagie distract Kel
while I sneak in the side entrance and get the heart.
Then, we all get out.
If you weren't so worried about your precious Tracker Code,
I'd arrest him and take it.
Promise you'll just play it cool and not Dowser out.
[groans]
Fine. I promise.
Good. Thank you.
Let's just make this as fast and easy as possible.
Don't worry.
This Gorgon hunter and her pig sidekick have it under control.
Now to perfect my accent.
[clears throat]
[imitating Gorgon hunter] We be hunting Gorgons, matey.
[chuckles]
And this is why I work alone.
[suspenseful music playing]
I'll be in and out before Lucy has a chance to blow it.
[shudders] How about we don't go into the super creepy lair?
It's okay, Hoagie, I got your back.
[squeals]
Um… definitely not the super villain secret hideout vibes I was expecting.
Right, Hoagie?
[whimpers]
Oh… [chuckles]
I want this, that, or whatever this is.
Oh, and this for sure!
[gasps]
[screams]
Hoagie.
[yells]
-[squeals] -Shh!
You have to play it cool.
[Kel] Ooh!
Play what cool?
[Lucy] Uh…
All this Gorgon gold I got burning a hole in my pocket.
Yeah, it's real heavy.
Maybe you can help us lighten our load?
You must be my Gorgon hunter and her talking pig sidekick.
Welcome!
My name's Kel and I love to sell.
Hey, nice slogan.
Nice timing.
Today's our annual Gorgon hunter sale.
[imitating Gorgon hunter voice] Meh. I don't see anything good here.
Let's get out of this dump.
Ah…
So you're only interested in top-of-the-line magical items.
Let me get some from the vault.
[suspenseful music playing]
[grunts]
[screams]
[grunts]
[chuckles]
[sighs] Not going that way.
[Hoagie] Hey Big D. How's it hanging?
[grunts] Hoagie, puns later, help now. You've gotta turn off that force field.
Oh, so now you need our help?
I thought we were the ones who were gonna mess this up?
Yeah, well, 20% you, 80% Lucy.
She's doing a lot better than you right now, cliffhanger.
Hang tight.
[grunts]
I gotta get the key. Hang on a sec.
Hurry!
You'll love this.
The latest in Gorgon-hunting technology.
Comes with an optional free warranty for a mandatory additional surcharge.
A lamp? I don't think--
I can buy it without a demo!
It's far too dangerous to demonstrate in my store.
All you need is a magical totem.
If I was to activate it, which I won't because it's very dangerous,
I would just touch it here and move the totem up and down.
It's very rare Gremlin technology.
Everything okay?
Uh-huh!
All good.
These are absolute showstoppers at parties.
[grunts]
I hate magic.
[grunts]
Huh?
[grunts]
Let's light this candle.
No!
[grunts]
[squeals]
[screams]
Not bad. Now what else ya got?
[panting]
-What the-- -[chitters]
[grunts]
-[chitters] -[screams]
Daniel? You still alive?
No.
[chitters]
Dollars to dwarf-forge donuts,
you'll love this magical shipping device.
Brand spanking new.
Perfect for transporting your bloody bounties anywhere.
No more Gorgon guts all over your backseat. [chuckles]
Care to demonstrate?
[chitters]
[Lucy] Adorable!
-What a cute pet! -[chitters]
What's this little cutie called?
Unh-uh-uh-uh-uh. The Pufferlicks are not pets.
They have a very useful and very profitable function.
Pufferlicks can magically clean any pigsty.
Just look at my showroom.
[chuckles] Speaking of pigs, where's your--
-[imitates pig] -Oh, uh, uh…
Bathroom. Shy bladder.
Ah!
Been there.
Now watch this shipping device in action.
[Lucy] Hey, doesn't it need air holes?
That doesn't matter.
You throw it in the trash when you're done.
In the trash?
Yep. Comes with free refills.
[beeping]
[hard rock music playing]
[chitters]
[sniffs] Ah!
Now the beauty of this device is it's completely invisible
from the Bureau of Magical Enforcement's detection.
Not like it's hard to get past those blundering oafs.
So you can avoid the Bureau?
Then go ahead and show me the real illegal stuff.
Welcome to my private collection,
where I save my most valuable items for my highest rollers.
Dowser helmets?
Great eye!
They're real.
Not knockoffs like how I knocked off those Dowsers wearing them
when they tried to arrest me.
Do they appeal to you?
[laughing]
No. [chuckles]
Dowser? More like "downer," right?
[sniffing]
Oh, this has to be the place.
I can smell a ton of magic behind this door.
[snorts]
And old tuna cans?
That's the Mermaid Queen, all right.
[beep]
Stand back, Hoags.
Whoa.
It's so beautiful.
Sphinx Charms.
[gasps
The Amuleto of the Aztecs.
Magic oil.
Foot cream.
Ew.
Hoagie, we're gonna make a fortune with all this stuff.
We're rich!
Hey, dum-dum, this was you earlier.
"Get in and out as fast as possible before anyone knows I broke Tracker Code."
"I don't trust anyone because I have a crippling fear of commitment."
All right, enough. You're not a therapy pig.
Well, not licensed.
[Daniel] Here's what we came for.
[beating]
I don't see any traps.
Ugh, come on bro, use antiseptic.
What, were you raised in a farm?
I'm aware of the irony.
[mechanical whirring]
Whoa. You hear that?
That's the sound of success.
No, I'm talking about like a loud--
[imitates flushing sound]
[squelching]
[loud clang]
We must've set off a trap.
[tense music playing]
Huh! Acid spell. That's just neat.
No, "neat" is finding an extra pork rind at the bottom of a bag,
not becoming the fried pork rind.
You know, you're a little bit small for a Gorgon hunter.
-[alarm blaring] -[groans]
Bladder issues?
Let's go see what your pet's done to my bathroom.
We have to get out of here. Now.
[Hoagie] Gee, why didn't I think of that?
[grunts]
What am I, a mountain goat?
Dude, I don't have any hands.
[thud]
Hey, what are you doing?
Just jump on the box.
Uh… I may have accidentally thrown a crate of Sphinx Charms into the acid.
This could be bad.
What do you mean "bad"?
[grunting]
Whoa! Sorry.
[grunts]
[grunts, chuckles]
You're lucky I have the grace of a ballerina.
Hoagie, catch!
[beep]
Whoa!
Uh, Danny, the elevator's leaving.
I'll be there in a sec, Hoag.
[loud explosion]
[grunts]
-[sizzling] -[bubbling]
[grunts]
[Hoagie] What are you doing?
Something crazy!
[thrilling music playing]
[blasting]
[yelps]
[grunts]
[heavy breathing]
That was close.
[groans]
Now I know what it's like to be a sushi dumpster.
Nice work, Hoag.
Coast is clear. Let's go.
You and your pig have wasted quite a bit of my time.
[chitters]
[Kel groans]
Stupid vermin.
[chitters]
That's it.
[whispering] Lucy, no.
Oh, and I have one more special item to show you.
Mermaid Tonic.
Gives people gills, strength,
whatever they need to win a fight.
And bonus? It's spicy.
I don't care.
This isn't a store, it's a crime den!
What are you gonna do about it, Dowser?
Lucy, what are you doing?
You promised.
[laughs]
Let me guess, the old "Mermaid Heart in the cart" routine?
Amateurs.
You'll look great on my wall.
You wanted to see the power of the Mermaid's Heart?
Buyer beware!
[screams]
I knew you'd mess this up!
You just couldn't wait, could you?
[Kel screams]
You have no idea what you've done.
We have to leave before Kel can identify me.
This isn't just my fault!
[Kel continues screaming]
You set off the alarm, Master Tracker.
You're a Tracker?
And you brought a Dowser here?
You broke Tracker Code!
-[gun blasting] -[grunts]
I'm going to throw you in the Tickle Pit myself.
[grunts]
You just torched my reputation!
Face it Spellbound, there are more important things than your reputation.
Not when you're a Tracker.
-[Kel screams] -[glass shatters]
Gee, that's not a happy scream. Come on.
Do what you gotta do. So will I.
We'll come back for you!
Where'd that salamander go?
[Kel] You supplied me with a lot of rage,
now I demand payment.
[screams]
[chitters]
Wow, they really do like to clean.
-[Kel screams] -[glass shatters]
That pulsating Mermaid Heart's secure
on top… of all… of my ice cream.
Awesome.
If you take that heart,
the Insect King's going to void my warranty.
[screams]
[coughs]
-[breathes deeply] -[clanging]
Ha! You won't be able to hold out forever!
-[clanging] -[chitters]
[Lucy] Just long enough for backup. [grunts]
[laughs]
[grunts]
[inhales] The Tracker?
Trackers only care about money and themselves.
-[grunts] -[screams]
[coughing]
You're about to have serious buyer's remorse.
And you're about to flip out.
[screams]
[Lucy] You break it, you buy it!
[screams]
[grunts]
[screams]
[funky music playing]
Looks like your sardine smoothie's wearing off.
Hands where I can see 'em.
[Kel laughs]
Looks can be deceiving.
[screams]
-[glass shatters] -[Lucy groans]
[groans]
We gotta get to her before the fishmonger does.
Helping a Dowser take down the Outpost
goes against everything Trackers stand for.
Danny.
[intense music plays]
All right Dowser,
let's seal this deal.
Just you and me.
Yeah, but see the thing is, it's not just you and me.
Right, guys?
[engine starts]
Daniel?
[laughs]
[Kel's laughter echoing]
[closing theme music playing]
