[ominous music playing]
[Dark Mage] The Gryphon's Egg, if you want to live.
[whimpers] I would like to live.
Uh… [chuckles] Here's the deal, we don't exactly have--
[screams]
[grunts]
[groans]
You and your pig will not stand in my way.
I am the most powerful--
[bang]
Well, get in the truck already.
Lucy! I always knew ice cream would save my life.
I thought you abandoned us.
[chuckles] Who do you think I am? You?
-I was securing the Egg. -[chuckles]
Eh, should have brought a baby car seat.
Lucy!
Buckle up. We gotta get going.
[blast]
[Lucy groans]
He's stopping us from teleporting. Okay, gotta do it old-fashioned.
[tires screeching]
Live or die, the Egg is mine.
You'll get it over our dead bodies.
That's literally what he just said.
The Egg should not be in the hands of unskilled magicians like you.
[ominous music playing]
[engine revving]
Ugh, I can't get the truck loose from his spell.
Then don't. On three, we jump.
One, two, three!
[groans]
[intense music playing]
[stomping]
Well, game over.
It was really nice living, for the most part.
Okay, new plan.
Let's rock, paper, scissors for the Gryphon's Egg. Who's in?
If he gets the Egg, it's all over for the Magic World.
[grunts]
Did not see that coming.
[grunting]
Uh, this makes sense how, exactly?
It doesn't, like at all.
I thought the Alchemists work for the Dark Mage.
Maybe they're mad at their boss?
He probably cheats out on snacks in the break room.
Seems like that kind of guy.
Let's not waste an opportunity to run away when no one's looking. Come on.
Why are you giving the Egg to me?
'Cause I can't carry it and Hoagie.
-Wait, what? -Curl up tight and stay still.
[intense music playing]
[grunts]
All right! They didn't even see us. [grunts]
Daniel!
Run!
-But we have to-- -Just go!
Hello.
Where is it? Where?
What?
You will not win while there's breath left in my body, you abomination!
[grunting]
This isn't over, Alchemist.
-[grunts] -[Hoagie whimpers]
No!
Huh? Wait, was I just gold again?
Did you give me a 24-karat booty?
Where's Lucy? Did she--
That Dowser drove off in that absurd vehicle.
Where is the Egg?
Still with Lucy, headed where you'll never get it.
No!
Then the Dark Mage has everything needed
for the destruction of magic as we know it.
The Dark Mage.
Hmm.
Why are you talking in the third person, Vik?
You fool.
Who do you think the Dark Mage is?
Uh, maybe we'll all have a good laugh about this later, but isn't he you?
I'm a ninth-level Alchemist,
a high Sorcerer of the Fallen Temple.
Do you truly believe I would parade around in a Halloween costume?
Y-y-y-y-yes?
Hold on, Viktor, if you're not the Dark Mage, then who is?
Dowser Santana, I've been expecting you.
[panting] Primus, I was in such a hurry.
I teleported five blocks away.
I'm a little bit fried.
Tell me you have the Egg.
[pants]
Uh…
Yeah, but it was not easy.
The Dark Mage showed up to get it, but the Alchemists fought him,
which was really weird, and Daniel and Hoagie,
[gasps]
The Dark Mage… killed them.
I'm sorry.
I know you grew fond of Spellbound and his pig,
but he was a simple Tracker with no magic ability.
That is exactly why the Egg needs to be under Bureau control
and not out in the wild.
I hope this Egg is worth all the pain it's caused.
Of course it is.
The Gryphon's Egg is too dangerous to be in the hands of unskilled magicians.
What did you say?
The filth of the Magic World is out of control.
It needs to be stopped, to be reined in.
The Gryphon's Egg. Now.
Yes, Primus.
Dowser Santana.
Here you go.
[ominous music playing]
[grunting]
I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this.
You're saying you Alchemists are the good guys?
When the whole Magic World thinks you're the bad guys?
They manipulate public opinion and don't care who it hurts.
Not Lucy. She would never do that.
Pig, the Bureau is led by the Dark Mage herself.
She sets their entire evil agenda.
Hey, look man, I'm no fan of the Primus either, but come on.
You really expect us to believe she's the head of the Bureau
and its most wanted criminal?
Oh, Tracker.
You should know more than most. The best place to hide is in plain sight.
You knew my dad, didn't you?
I saw your initials in his book.
Ah, his notebook.
He knew you would do the right thing with it, Daniel.
He loved you very much, you know.
No, there's a lot about my dad I don't know.
Duncan Spellbound was a brilliant man.
I was in awe of him.
His work with the Bureau left him concerned
that they had become power-hungry,
and that Camilla Thomas was at the center of it.
He, like me, believed magic should be free of control, available to anyone.
He knew the Bureau was a threat to that freedom.
I should have listened to him much sooner.
If I had, maybe…
Lucy's not gonna just hand that thing over to Primus McAwful.
She believes in the virtue of magic. She's a good person.
[Viktor] Maybe one or two agents still have some good in them,
but the fish rots from the head down.
Lucy could be in real trouble.
We've got to come up with--
Wait, what is all this?
All this?
All of this is the magic community's last hope for freedom.
[chitters]
Whoa.
You've been prepping for this for a long time.
Yes, but thanks to your friend in the ice cream truck,
our timeline has just moved up.
[whirring]
A portal spell?
We must move on the Dark Mage while we still can.
When that portal is large enough for our entire squad,
we'll march against the Bureau.
And now, you too can be a part of it.
Your father would be proud.
[snaps fingers]
Uh, thanks but I'm covered.
Man, all the good stuff is wasted on you.
If I didn't have hooves--
Already thought of that.
[chittering]
Awesome. How does it even work?
[laughing]
[glass shatters]
Whoa!
[yelps]
[laughing] Yes!
I've gotta be the first pig to ever blast a laser.
[sniffs, snorts]
Does anyone else smell burning?
[ominous music playing]
Asera al meketa.
Assenta dost rosa.
The time is at hand.
[evil laughter]
Yes, approved. Finalize everything.
The portal will soon be ready.
Hey eyebrows, what you got to eat around here?
I'm hungry.
Really? Food? Now?
Sir, I am a pig.
Uh, trust me, there's no arguing with him when his blood sugar gets low.
There's a vending machine near the secret entrance.
Vending machine?
You're a dude that can turn anything into gold.
Hire a private sushi chef, free candy, something.
Why should I team up with you, Viktor? What do you get out of this?
It's what we get out of this, Daniel.
Imagine how much better your life will be
without the Bureau breathing down your neck.
So, what, we abolish the Bureau?
No one should be thrown into prison for tracking magic, for using magic.
The portal will be ready soon.
It's time to confront the Bureau as your father would have wanted.
Alorium contessim explit montam,
igroatus seet florest eter.
What?
I had a feeling you might try something like that.
You duplicated the Egg?
Dowser Santana, duplication spells are highly illegal.
Trust me, it's causing a lot of internal conflict,
but I just had to know, and now I know.
Everything I've done is for the greater good, Lucy.
Don't judge me.
All I know is a woman I looked up to and believed in
has been playing me and everyone else this entire time.
I had to. There's too much at stake.
Magic is not a toy to be played with by gleeful imbeciles.
Few can handle its dangers.
And let me guess, few means only you?
Not just me, the worthy!
Join with me and we'll ensure magic is only granted to the deserving.
You're a disgrace to everything this Bureau should stand for.
[intense music playing]
You naive dolt.
I will get that Egg from you
even if I have to destroy you in the process.
Yeah, no.
Primus Thomas, under my authority as Dowser
for the Bureau of Magic Enforcement,
I'm placing you under arrest for crimes against magic.
[clanging]
[groans]
How dare you?
[grunting]
[groans]
Who's naive now?
[screams in frustration]
Whoa.
Boss sounds real mad.
Now, just got to get you somewhere safe.
Attention all Dowsers,
Lucy Santana has betrayed the Bureau.
She's working for the enemy and should be arrested on sight.
Repeat, all agents are to arrest on sight.
[male dowser] Santana, exit the vehicle with your hands up.
Uh-oh. First time my prime Employee of the Month
parking space has been a bad thing.
Uh… are we sure this is right?
You heard the Primus. Her word is law.
Lucy needs to be brought in.
Exit the vehicle, Santana, or we will bust those doors down.
[intense music playing]
[gun blasting]
What the---
[screams]
Fear the mighty Laser Pig!
Hoagie?
[Hoagie laughing]
[dowser] Who gave the pork chop a gun?
[Hoagie laughing]
[groans]
Hoagie! You're still alive.
Alive, kicking, and totally rescuing you.
You still have the Egg. Yes!
I knew you would.
Come on, let's get out of here.
[tires screeching]
How'd you get here? What's that on your head?
Is Daniel alive too? I saw the sword swing--
We're fine, we got turned into gold. A long story for later.
But first, there's something important you need to know.
Me first.
[both] Camilla Thomas is the Dark Mage.
Wait, how'd you find out?
Jinx. [chuckles] Turn up ahead.
-Where we going? -You can't talk, you're jinxed.
Now is not the time, Hoagie. Where are we headed?
Trust me, Daniel, and I made a plan.
And that's supposed to give me confidence?
[Daniel] Say you get the Gryphon's Egg out of the Bureau's hands,
-what are you gonna do with it? -Keep it, protect it, watch over it.
Like you did the Fugu Rose?
Exactly.
And how you built factory walls
around the rarest magic items in the world, letting no one in?
My facilities protect powerful items from bureaucrats like Camilla Thomas.
Yeah, and anyone else.
When you find rare magic,
you don't take what you need and leave the rest for everyone to use,
you keep it all for yourself.
Of course. As a Tracker, you procure magical items for clients, paying clients.
Do you ever ask them what they do with those items?
No. Nor should you.
They should have the freedom to do what they want with their property.
So you and your rich friends plan to take what you want and control it.
That's different than what the Bureau wants how?
Don't you dare compare me to the Primus and her evil organization.
I leave everyone else alone,
and I expect them to do the same for me.
Look, trust me,
I don't believe the Bureau should have the Gryphon's Egg.
Well then, we're agreed.
But I don't think you should have it either.
What are you saying?
I'm saying the portal looks big enough now.
-It's not. We still need-- -Ah!
Later.
No!
[loud discharge]
No! [echoing]
[thrilling music playing]
Almost. Almost.
I think it was right… here!
Yes, this is where I came out. Stop.
There's nothing here.
-[grunts] -[tires screeching]
-[grunts] -[gasps]
Daniel!
Back it up. Some of them might make it through the portal.
Some of who? What portal?
Hurry! Through, now!
Sir, the portal is unstable.
We could be ripped apart!
That's the risk we take for freedom.
Drive!
[tires screeching]
Where'd you teleport our truck to, Vik?
I need my ice cream.
Was this part of your plan?
Being real honest, the plan never went this far.
Give me the Egg.
It can never get in the hands of the Primus.
New plan. [chuckles] Run.
Stop them!
[intense music playing]
This farce ends here!
Whoa. We're the filling in a sandwich of evil.
My least favorite kind of sandwich.
The Egg.
Now.
No! It belongs to me!
