[intense music playing]
[tires screeching]
[buzzing]
You got this, Spellbound?
Me? I mean, yeah, totally. I do this all the time--
-[bang] -[Daniel] Ow!
[intense music continues]
[bang]
[Lucy & Daniel] Whoa!
[grunting]
Quick, send us somewhere else!
[beeping]
[Lucy] It needs time to charge.
Just keep driving then. As long as we're in the truck, we're safe.
[grunts]
Oh, yeah. We're super safe.
[tires screeching]
[grunting]
[grunts]
-[buzzing] -[screams]
[Daniel grunting]
Whoa! This is way better than a slingshot.
[Lucy] Less talking, more shooting.
[buzzing]
[engine revs]
[buzzing]
[intense music continues]
[gun blasting]
[thudding]
You did it!
Listen, you don't get to be a Tracker like me without squashing a few-- bugs!
[bang]
Whoa! Tell me you got this, Santana?
Oh, sure. I just carry a parachute in my truck. Doesn't everybody?
-Really? -No! Of course not!
[truck squeaking]
[both screaming]
[ominous music playing]
Come on.
[beeping accelerates]
Wow. That worked out way better than I thought.
[groans]
I hate bugs.
What? These are Royal Guard Wasps.
Their venom is worth a ton. Plus, it might come in handy.
You're here to collect bug spit or rescue Hoagie?
Listen, you got your methods, I got mine.
We have to get to the Insect King's Staff before Burden.
It's our only chance to stop Burden and rescue Hoagie.
Well, good news is, Flyzilla down here belongs to the Insect King.
Means we're close to his palace.
Let's have a little look.
That's the Mirage.
Burden's set up camp right next to it.
He hasn't opened it yet. We have a shot.
[grunts]
Bixby Prospero is with him. He must have hired her.
Wait, what?
Burden's got backup. This can't be good.
If Burden's not in the Mirage,
it means Hoagie still has the Gem in his belly.
If the Mirage is down there,
then the Insect King's temple should be…
-[buzzing] -[Lucy] You hear that?
[chuckles] Jackpot.
[gasps]
[Lucy] That giant skeleton is the Insect King's temple?
He's a magic poacher. Trust me, they're all weirdos.
If the Wasp Guards are there to convince you to stay out,
they're doing a pretty good job.
Yeah, but that's where the Staff will be.
Let's go.
[suspenseful music playing]
[buzzing continues]
You know, maybe I should stay out here… in case Burden shows up?
Lucy Santana, you're a Dowser.
Are you really that scared of bugs?
No, it's just entering insect hives crawling with wasps and stingers and venom
really seems more like a "Daniel" kind of thing.
Don't worry. I got a plan brewing.
Chameleon dust meet wasp venom.
A cloaking spell? Clever.
I told you this would come in handy.
Now, if I only knew a wizard who could activate it.
That should buy us a little time.
Royal Guard Wasps find their prey by smelling them.
As long as the spell holds up,
we should smell like a couple of wasps.
Here goes, well, everything.
Don't worry, Lucy. We'll be okay.
All right, hit me.
[shudders]
That's cold.
It worked. He couldn't see us.
The King's down there.
Get ready for a fight.
[tense music playing]
You ready?
Nope. Big… fat… nope.
Lucy, that Scepter is our only way to save Hoagie.
I can't do this alone.
[sighs] Fine.
Okay, you got this.
Just don't think about the sharp… pointed… stingers.
[mysterious music playing]
[yelps]
[Daniel] Careful.
[breathes heavily]
Thanks, Spellbound.
[cracking]
Whoa!
[chilling music playing]
Whoa!
[ominous music playing]
Oh no, the spell is wearing off!
[bugs chittering]
[chilling music playing]
Look out!
[yelps]
Whoa!
[intense music playing]
Hang on, Spellbound.
This might hurt.
Wait.
[both screaming]
[grunts]
[gun blasting]
[buzzing]
There's too many of them!
[Lucy] Over there!♣
[humming]
Why aren't they attacking us?
I don't know.
[buzzing]
Get out of here!
Now!
This keeps bugs away? Give it to me.
[Daniel] Looks like the Insect King's shield.
Must have an "I command thee" spell on it to control the wasps.
Careful, he's got to be around here somewhere.
[suspenseful music playing]
Daniel, I think I found him.
[Daniel] Whoa.
What happened to him?
Burden.
Burden one, Insect King zilch.
I'm about to become the richest Tracker in the world… [chuckles]
…as soon as I get that Gem from your fat little belly.
Do what you have to do, Prospero.
[whimpers]
[both grunting]
[mysterious music playing]
[groans]
Poor Hoagie.
Maybe we can try--
Try what?
Burden already has the Staff and the Gem.
You're real pain, Spellbound,
but somehow, you always manage to turn things around.
Wait a minute.
Check this out.
Burden doesn't have the Emerald yet.
Hoagie must be holding on to that Gem super tight.
[laughs] That's my pig.
We need a plan.
I hate saying it but we can't beat Burden head-on.
Got any ideas buzzing around in your head?
Buzzing?
[intriguing music playing]
Yeah, I got a few hundred.
Burden straight up disrespected you, and now you work for him?
Wake up, Pros-broke-o. He's using you.
What does he pay you in? Insults?
He should pay you with soap. [chuckles]
That was a freebie. Wanna work for me now, you Goblin goon?
[Prospero growls]
I'm so sick of your voice.
[in autotune voice] ♪ Hey… What did you-- ♪
♪ Oooh! I sound nice ♪
♪ I can sing ♪
♪ Can I sing? ♪
[vocalizes]
What did you do to him?
[vocalizes]
I tried to make him more bearable.
♪ I'm bearable ♪
♪ Oh yeah ♪
Don't break him.
This porker and his magic-sniffing snout are gonna keep making me money.
[vocalizes]
Whoa-- Huh?
Hmm. Ow.
There's a better way to shut him up.
[swallows]
Feed him whatever he wants, as much as he wants.
The Gem will work its way out of his belly.
Sorry, I'm not all that hungry.
You better eat up, Hoagie,
'cause one way or another, that Gem's coming out of you.
Waiter?
I'll take an apple pie,
potato fluff cakes, and some oven-roasted kale.
I need my greens. Chop-chop. And keep it coming.
[growls]
[chomping]
These fluff cakes need way more melted cheese.
Fix it, Chef Loser.
[tense music playing]
[pants]
Oh, no.
Wait for it.
[chomping]
If you added a dash of sea monster salt, this kale would be salvageable.
Okay, I'm ready for dessert.
What is this? Bran flakes in prune juice?
Just trying to get that Gem, pig.
[snorts]
Lucy?
What was that? What are you smiling about?
Uh… H-Hey, stop your questions and get back to cooking.
I don't eat poo porridge, I eat cake. Now bake!
[bowl shatters]
That's it. I'm cutting this emerald out of you right now.
[suspenseful music playing]
[grunts]
[chomping]
If I'm going out,
I'm going out on a full stomach.
[chomping]
[gun blasting]
Spellbound!
[grunts]
[gun blasting]
Perfect.
You wanted a fight, Burden? You got one.
Prospero, get out here. Now!
[panting]
[gasps]
[Burden] Prospero!
Stay put, piggy.
We're under attack by the wannabe Tracker. Cast something.
No.
[grunts]
What?
I'm not doing squat until I get a bigger cut of the Egg bounty.
I admire your swagger, Prospero,
but I'm sure you don't wanna break the Tracker Code, do you?
[straining] No, I don't wanna break the Tracker Code.
[chomps]
[swallows]
[mouthful] Lucy, what are you doing here?
Hoagie, it's so good to see you. Come on, we gotta get outta here.
Wait, are you and Dani friends again? Is he here?
-[gun blasting] -[thud]
He's fine, but right now, run!
[grunts]
[thrilling music playing]
[pants]
Come on.
What's wrong?
[groans]
I've… had pies.
So many pies.
[gags]
I'm gonna--
[burps loudly]
[retches]
Ugh!
Gross!
[gags]
I can smell it from over here.
Get the Gem, now!
Hoagie, run!
[thrilling music playing]
[grunting]
[groans]
[pants]
-[yells] -[grunts]
[grunts]
[squeals, chomps]
[grunts]
[growls]
This is gonna be sweet.
You're finally gonna pay, piggy.
I've been paying since I met you.
Cook yourself up a breath mint and save all of us. Phew!
[chuckles]
Nah, I don't think so.
Next thing I'm gonna be cooking is a big plate of bacon.
-[blast] -[grunts]
Daniel!
Hey, thanks for coming for me, man.
Hoag! [chuckles] Man, I'm… I'm glad to see you.
Yeah, glad to see you, too, I guess.
Sorry it took so long, but you know I wouldn't leave you hanging.
I hate to break this up, but is there any ice-cream left?
-[chuckles] -Let's get out of here.
Burden's gonna catch up soon. I need you to duplicate the Gem.
What? No, no, no-- no way.
Duplication spells are dangerous and illegal.
A dupe spell will buy us some time.
I'm sorry. I… I can't.
We need to do something else.
Oh, okay. Let me just pull a new plan out of my butt.
[squelches]
You send bugs to fight your battles for you?
Eh… to be fair, you did previously kick Daniel's butt in.
Give me the Gem.
[grunts]
[gun blasting]
[Daniel groans]
Daniel, get up!
[muffled mumbling]
Shh.
We're instituting a new quiet rule for Team Burden.
[muffled whimpering]
[grunts]
What?
[grunts]
You guys okay?
[both] Yeah.
Let us go, Burden.
You have what you want.
[laughs]
Yeah, let you go so you can come up with some crazy scheme to attack us?
I don't think so.
You don't think period, stinkball.
I'm glad you're awake, kid.
You're about to see all your hard work pay off…
for me.
Open… sesame?
-[both chuckling] -[Burden grunts]
[grunting]
Why aren't you opening?
Oh, tough luck.
You know, only two people know how the Staff opens that door.
Who was it again?
Mm… Oh yeah, the Insect King. Maybe he could help?
Yes, he could.
But Burden knocked him out of his exoskeleton, so there's that.
Let me guess, the answer's in your little notebook, huh?
I'm the only one who can get you to the Egg.
I know how to get into the Mirage and how to face all the traps inside.
[grunting]
You're gonna tell me everything that I need to know.
I will, but not for free.
What do you want?
We help you get the Egg, you let us all free, including Hoagie.
Tracker Code Deal?
Daniel, no.
-We can't make that deal. This is not-- -Deal?
[sighs] The three of you are so irritating.
[inhales sharply]
Tracker Code Deal.
Pardon me.
[grunts]
-Gotta stretch out the old hamstrings. -Ugh!
Cantharis.
