[tires screeching]
Dude, we have to go back.
Lucy wasn't in the truck. She's gonna think we ditched her.
I'd hate to be in your shoes, and not 'cause I have hooves.
We're rolling solo now, Hoag.
[intriguing music playing]
Are you kidding me? We can't leave her behind.
Lucy is our friend.
No, Lucy is a Dowser.
A great one.
Almost good enough to catch me.
[scoffs] Not that hard.
Hey, we're free now.
No Bureau, no Pie Maker.
We can get the Gryphon's Egg on our own and then sell it to the highest bidder.
Get back in the truck.
Nah, you're just hangry, bud.
Here, want a snack?
You're real jerk, Daniel.
Hoags, come on.
Fine!
I work better on my own anyways.
Means more money for me.
[chomps]
Stupid Danny.
It's a good thing I can't buy snacks or I'd be--
[Burden] Here, piggy piggy.
[Kel screams]
-[Lucy groans, grunts] -[glass shatters]
Now on clearance, you!
[grunts]
[screams]
[Kel screams]
[chuckles] Nice try.
[groans]
Foolish Dowser.
[coughs]
[grunts]
I don't need my tonic to finish you.
[screams]
[electricity crackling]
Wait. Wait!
[grunts] Huh?
[muffled grunts]
Let's see how you like being in a cage.
Special delivery.
[beep]
-[yells] -[body thuds]
Hey!
That Troll Toe Jam you sold me was stale!
Sorry, all sales are absolutely
final.
[distant frightened screaming]
[mysterious music playing]
Ah. I knew you had succeeded when my children started to stir.
-[beating] -Eh…
[mysterious music continues]
[sighs]
Ah! The fog has been lifted from my mind.
I am complete,
and the time of the Mermaids is upon us once more.
Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
Hey, um, about the…
As promised, your reward.
Well, pleasure doing business.
Text if you need anything else.
And good luck with that whole "rise of the Mermaid" sitch.
[Nurenya] Halt.
No land creature I have met has ever lived up to their word.
To reward your faithfulness, I gift you this,
the Chain Scale Armor.
Awesome. But what is it exactly?
[mysterious music continues]
Whoa! Excellent.
The Chain Scale Armor is granted to only the bravest of Mermaid warriors,
protecting them against the harshest of elements.
I… I don't know what to say.
Thank you so much, Your Highness.
[grunts] There's no need for thanks.
Your loyalty to the Mermaid Kingdom has been rewarded.
Truly, there's nothing more valuable than friendship.
[distant gurgling]
[gasps] You should probably leave before my children hatch.
They will be quite hungry.
Go.
Hoagie, I'm sorry about before, but look what I got!
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Look what I got.
Hoagie? You okay?
Now you care about me? I'm just fine.
I've teamed up with a real Tracker who actually cares about his friends.
Shut it, pork chop.
What do you want, Burden?
The old Alchemist hired me to get the Gryphon's Egg,
now I need that to get my payday.
Wait a sec, you made a deal with Viktor?
How did he know about the Emerald?
You're in way over your head, Daniel.
Let me help you.
Give me the gem, I give you the pig, you go back home.
It's a full Tracker Code deal.
[scoffs] He's not giving up that gem. Dude only cares about--
We got a deal.
Huh? For real? Daniel, I-- Wow.
[tense music playing]
[grunting]
[clanking]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[grunts]
Hoagie, get the gem!
[pants]
Big mistake.
[intense music playing]
Yo! Watch out!
Huh?
That's not good.
[gags]
Get your hands out of my mouth!
[groans] Why do they taste like sour milk?
Two birds, one stone.
I'm a pig, dummy.
[grunts]
[chuckles] The problem with your toy is,
I always know what hand you're gonna punch with, kiddo.
[beam ringing]
[whimpers]
Huh?
[grunts]
How did I do that?
[Hoagie] Who cares? Run!
[intense music continues]
[Burden] Ow!
[groans]
Be careful, man. That's got a kick.
[Burden] Fine.
Keep your toy.
[electricity crackling]
Thanks for the magic sniffing pig, kid.
Danny, help!
No!
[blast]
[panting]
[weak] No…
[grunts]
[somber music playing]
[faint buzzing]
[mysterious music playing]
[grunts]
Lucy. How?
Where is it?
Where's the Emerald?
Where's Hoagie?
-And what's this? -No!
Ow!
[grunts]
Ooh! You're gonna pay for that.
The Dark Mage hired Burden.
He took Hoagie, the gem, everything.
But the book.
I thought you were the only one to know about the gem?
Somehow Viktor Albright knows too.
Wow. Smart move ditching me.
You've been doing just great on your own.
Daniel, where is the Telefold?
It opens the warp gate.
Without it, we can't go anywhere.
Oh. Burden broke that.
[Daniel] Burden broke the communicator too.
He did leave the ice cream, though.
[groans]
[sighs]
[yelps]
We were supposed to be a team, Spellbound.
The Magic World is on the line. I trusted you.
Look, I'm sorry.
I know I messed up.
Now we can't open the Mirage even if we beat Burden to the desert.
"We?" [scoffs]
There is no more "we."
You are going to jail.
I am rescuing Hoagie and getting the Gryphon's Egg.
Not without a Telefold.
[angry grunting]
All right. Can't repair it, so we need to replace it,
and that means we need to find a Gremlin.
The Bureau uses Gremlin tech?
If I was back home, this would be easy.
Wait, I can do this.
I'll track down a Gremlin Chop Shop.
They'll get us the parts.
But I'm gonna need one thing.
And what might that be?
Not a chance.
Gremlins are obsessed with gadgets and mechanical tech.
Your baton is perfect bait.
This baton is what makes me a Dowser. It's like an extension of my arm.
You can't have my arm.
I get why you don't trust me, Lucy, but you said it,
it's a race to the Egg to save the Magic World.
The Alchemists have a huge head start.
I can still help get the truck going if you let me.
[groans]
If anything happens to this,
you won't have to worry about the Telefold.
I'll kick your butt all the way back to New York.
[playful music]
[chitters loudly]
Gremlin call.
Where did you learn how to do all this? Criminal Tracker School?
Pretty much.
Gotta learn to fend for yourself when your parents aren't around.
[mischievous music plays]
[whoosh]
Maybe we're scaring the Gremlins away.
I'll go wait in the truck. Don't go anywhere.
Where else could I go?
What happened?!
[Lucy] Spellbound, the truck. Hurry!
Whoa.
Okay, technically I wasn't wrong.
They did go for something mechanical.
Wait, did you just leave my baton sitting out there?
You ogre-brain, they took it.
Just like I planned.
Kind of.
We find the baton, we find the truck.
We find the truck, I'm taking you to jail.
[compelling music playing]
-[rattling] -[unlocks]
Not exactly what I thought a Gremlin Chop Shop would look like.
The footprints don't lie.
I hope they fluff, fold, and fabricate Telefolds. [chuckles]
Hello, little Gremlins?
You in here?
If Hoagie were here, I bet he could sniff something out.
I smell something.
Smells like--
[sniffs]
Forest rain.
[sniffs]
Or is that lavender?
You're onto something, Lucy.
I am?
Watch this.
[whirring]
Voilà. Magic secret entrance.
You're a good Tracker.
A bad partner, but a good Tracker.
[both yelping]
[groans]
Too much spin cycle.
[dance music playing]
[explosion]
[yelps]
My baton! I'm coming for ya baby.
Lucy, wait!
Hey, that's my baton! Hand it over.
[music distorts and slows down]
[tense music playing]
Uh… [nervous chuckle]
Pretty please?
[chittering]
Lucy!
[intense music playing]
-[chitters loudly] -[gasps]
Nice going, Lucy.
You got any ideas?
Don't worry, I'll just reason with them.
Well, that coulda gone better.
[chanting]
Wait, what's going on?
Um…
I think they're planning to eat us.
Get us out of here! Or at least just tell them to eat you.
No way. I taste terrible.
[chitters]
Hey, little guy. Did you come to free me?
I would like this to be over now.
Don't worry, I have a plan.
Almost.
[mechanism whirring]
Oh, cool. Does it involve us becoming grilled Gremlin grub?
Nope. Just a little bait.
[chitters]
[electricity crackling]
[screams]
It did it again.
Lucy, heads up!
[grunts]
This was your plan?
Sometimes dumb luck is a plan?
[chittering orders]
[dynamic music playing]
[chitters angrily]
[straining]
Um, little help?
Like you helped me back with Kel?
-[chittering] -[grunting]
I'm sorry, okay? I never should have left you.
[grunts] If I leave you now,
I'd save me an extra trip to the Bureau jail.
Oh, come on!
After all,
we are behind the clock getting that Gryphon's Egg.
[blowing]
[grunts, sighs]
[pants]
I could've been an appetizer.
[chuckles] I'd never let them eat you.
At least not until you get them to fix my truck.
[chittering]
[chitters]
[chittering]
We mean you no harm.
We just need a new--
-Uh, what was that thing called again? -A Telefold?
We just need a new Telefold for our ice cream truck.
Don't even think about it, Spellbound.
All right. It was just an idea.
I think I got it.
[chitters]
So, we good?
[hip-hop beat plays]
[chittering]
Learning anything good?
Huh.
Turns out the Gryphon's Egg, not a normal Egg.
[chuckles]
Yeah, picked up on that when the two most powerful groups
in the Magic World got in a death race to find it.
What I mean is, no yolk.
It's like crystallized pure life force.
You mean the Gryphon's Egg is just… solid magic energy?
A never-ending magical battery.
Power that never runs out.
This is so dangerous. In the wrong hands, it could--
It won't get in the wrong hands.
We'll find a way to get it first, Lucy.
You'll figure it out when you get to the desert.
[chittering]
[chitters]
[playful music]
[chittering]
Wow.
You guys did a great job.
Ice cream for everyone!
[upbeat music playing]
-[engine starts] -Ah!
Purring like a kitten.
[Daniel] Hey, Lucy.
I'm… well, just in case you ever get stuck again, here.
Tell Hoagie "I'm sorry" when you find him.
[sighs]
Get on the truck, Spellbound.
We got an egg to catch and a pig to rescue.
[chittering]
[gremlins cheering]
So what now?
Well, according to the notebook, we're close to…
[bang]
Whoa!
Drive!
What's happening?!
We're definitely in the Insect King's territory…
[intense music playing]
…and I don't think he wants us here.
[insects buzzing]
[closing theme music playing]
