[ Whoosh! ]
At long last, I've caught the
little bookworm who's been
stealing from my library.
Gwen: [ grunts ]
it won't work, gwendolyn.
The energy from your spells only
makes the sphere more powerful.
What I'm saying is you're about
to face a final, crushing
defeat.
Gwen: wait!
It's about charmcaster!
What have you done with her?
Gwen: I'm trying to help her!
Charmcaster took us to
legerdomain.
We came back after we defeated
aggregor, but she stayed behind
to fight addwaitya.
She went back to legerdomain?
She's still there?
Gwen: she said she wanted to
avenge her father and free her
people.
I promised I'd find a way to go
back and help her.
That's why I needed your books.
Don't bother.
If she's in legerdomain, then
my niece is already dead.
You don't understand!
Aggregor stole the alpha rune!
Addwaitya was practically
powerless!
The book.
Open it.
What's happening?
The true name of legerdomain
has been changed...
And it changes again every few
seconds.
Gwen: but without the true
name, there's no way to travel
there.
A spell like that would
require unthinkable power.
After you defeated aggregor,
addwaitya must have somehow
regained the alpha rune.
Gwen: then come with us.
No matter how strong he is, if
we combine our powers, we can
b*at him!
My brother gave his life so
that his daughter and I could
escape that accursed dimension.
I love my niece dearly, but I am
not about to go on a su1c1de
mission.
Take the book.
Take whatever you want.
Just leave me in peace.
[ Laughing ]
ohh.
Hey, how come you guys aren't
laughing?
Ben: I'm pretty sure she's
serious.
Gwen: I promised I'd go back
to legerdomain and help
charmcaster.
kevin: charmcaster who always
tries to k*ll you charmcaster?
You think you owe her a favor?
gwen: addwaitya is an evil,
oppressive dictator.
Don't we have a moral obligation
to help fight him?
Kevin: nope.
ben: yes.
Kevin: well, you guys let me
know how it turns out, okay?
I'll go fire up the rustbucket.
Ben: so, what's with the
computer?
You pirating spells on the
internet?
Gwen: not exactly.
I've written a spell that uses
a predictive decryption
algorithm on the computer to
figure out the true name of
legerdomain before it changes,
if I can sync it up just right.
Ben: so, you're like a magic
hacker?
Is my cousin cool or what?
Gwen: here goes.
I think it's working.
Ynappis.
Darn.
Nekoboh!
Nope.
Nekwaheew!
[ Rumbling ]
ben: that's the one.
Gwen: hurry, before it
closes!
Kevin: I am so gonna
regret this.
Aah!
ben: not one of your better
entrances.
Looks a little different than
last time.
Gwen: it's a dimension made
of magic.
things are bound to change
quickly.
[ Animals shrieking ]
kevin: some things haven't changed
gwen: [ grunts ]
kevin: gwen, ease up.
your powers are supercharged
here.
Ben: can you tie us together
so we don't get separated --
magically, I mean?
Gwen: sure.
Fasttrack: fasttrack!
[ animals shrieking ]
hang on!
This is gonna be a bumpy ride!
Kevin: ride?
what are you -- whoa!
[ Grunting ]
watch it, tennyson!
[ Grunting ]
watch it, tennyson!
fasttrack: uh-oh!
Kevin: hey, there's a cave
down here!
maybe I can swing over to it!
Fasttrack: whatever you do,
do it fast!
kevin: [ grunts ]
aah!
Gwen: [ grunts ]
fasttrack: out of the frying
pan...
Shield your eyes.
gir igi-nu!
They won't return...
For a while, at any rate.
gwen: thank you.
Ben: I didn't know rock
monsters could talk.
kevin: and english, too.
I speak many languages.
I am ignaceous, the scribe --
at least, i was a scribe, long
ago.
we should keep moving.
Gwen: your people were
enslaved by addwaitya?
Addwaitya enslaved everyone,
everything.
Only a few of us dared fight
back.
Gwen: we're looking for a
friend of ours.
she was fighting addwaitya, too.
I'm sorry, but as far as I
know, I am the last of the
freedom fighters.
the rest were captured or slain
during the chaos.
Ben: the chaos?
several months ago, addwaitya
simply disappeared.
Kevin: probably after
aggregor took the rune.
ben: but with addwaitya gone,
everyone was free, right?
indeed -- free to pursue the
throne themselves.
The rebels became despots, each
fighting for control.
I wanted no part of the
bloodshed.
gwen: but addwaitya's not
gone.
I can sense him.
I recognize his aura from
before.
Hmm.
I suspected as much.
I've seen signs.
addwaitya has returned, no doubt
more powerful than ever.
If your friend still lives, she
is addwaitya's sl*ve.
ben: so, it's back to plan
"a" -- we go kick some turtle
butt and rescue charmcaster.
you can take us to his castle,
right?
Addwaitya's citadel lies in
ruins.
he must have a new stronghold,
but where it might be, I cannot
say.
gwen: it's okay.
I should be able to track him by
his aura.
Kevin: then let's get it over
with.
this dimension's creeping me
out.
Gwen: ignaceous, I can't ask
you to fight, but...
we're not from around here.
we could use a guide.
Very well.
I will accompany you to
addwaitya's stronghold, but
after that...
I make no promises.
Ben: are you sure we're
going the right way?
I don't think there's room up
here for a porta-potty, much
less a castle.
gwen: addwaitya is close.
I know it.
Addwaitya: [ groaning ]
addwaitya!
Kevin: I don't know who's in
charge around here, but it sure
ain't this guy.
Ben: what's happening to him?
gwen: that stone is draining
his mana.
Don't!
the stone transmits his power to
whoever imprisoned him.
If you disturb the flow, they
will know we are here.
gwen: we can't just leave him
like this.
Ben: but if it's sending
energy to the guy we have to
fight, shouldn't we stop it?
Kevin: fine
problem solved
what?
gwen: liberatio!
Addwaitya: [ grunts ]
we should not release him!
addwaitya is dangerous.
At least place a binding spell
on him so he cannot use his
powers.
Gwen: all right.
necte artes magicas!
Addwaitya: [ groaning ]
gwen: addwaitya, who did this
to you?
who took your powers?
addwaitya: the usurper...
Took my power, took my throne...
took my world!
ben: addwaitya...
This thief who stole your
powers -- you know where to find
the thief, don't you?
take us to him, and we'll help
you take him down.
Addwaitya: down.
take the usurper down.
Punish the thief.
vengeance!
Come!
this is a terrible idea!
Kevin: I got to go with iggy
on this one.
ben: how else are we supposed
to find the bad guy?
Gwen: I feel like we've been
walking for miles.
um, that is water, isn't it?
Yes.
kevin: dude, teaming up with
evil guys never ends well.
Ben: what about you?
kevin: what about me?
I'm not evil.
I had a rough childhood.
ben: fine.
what about dr. Animo?
Kevin: he tried to k*ll us.
ben: darkstar?
kevin: betrayed us...
addwaitya: abrogo
necterendum!
Animo cataractam!
ben: we saved his whole
planet!
kevin: and he d*ed trying to
k*ll us.
Ben: okay.
what about charmcaster?
Kevin: oh, yeah, 'cause
that's worked out great so
fa-a-a-r!
gwen: kevin!
Aah!
kevin: seriously, I think I'm
gonna hurl!
Ben: hang on, guys!
[ grunts ]
eatle: eatle!
[ Both scream ]
kevin: ugh.
I did not see that coming.
gwen: ignaceous!
[ Groans ]
do not worry, my friends.
we are a durable race.
My wounds will heal in a few
hours.
kevin: we don't have a few
hours.
gwen: kevin!
no, he's right.
You must follow addwaitya.
defeat him and the usurper.
free this land once and for all.
Gwen: I think addwaitya is
just on the other side of this
ridge, but there's also mana --
a lot of it, along with
something I don't quite
recognize.
addwaitya: usurper of my
throne, thief of magic, come
forth to face the mighty
addwaitya!
charmcaster: ugh!
okay, who let the old windbag
loose?
Gwen: charmcaster?
addwaitya: insolent fool!
taste now the wrath of
addwaitya!
Animo arenam ut habem vindic--
aah!
charmcaster: hmm.
I was going to milk your power
for a little while longer.
but since you're being such a
jerk about it...
I might as well empty you out
now.
ben: did she just...
Gwen: yeah.
I'm pretty sure she did.
Charmcaster: you guys may as
well come out where I can see
you.
[ Chuckles ]
even ben tennyson, his
ridiculous cousin, and their
thuggish sidekick can't stop me
size:78% align:start
from draining the life-force
from every living thing in this
dimension!
Gwen: why are you doing this?
charmcaster: oh, gwenny, I
thought you understood.
Size:75%
it's the same reason I've done
everything -- I want my father
back.
kevin: your father's dead.
charmcaster: for the moment.
But my sorcerer's engine will
soon change all of that.
gwen: but that's --
it's the darkest of dark magic!
It's forbidden!
charmcaster: like I always
say, rules were made to be
broken.
and now that
little miss made-of-magic has
arrived, it's time to do some
breaking.
[ both grunt ]
gwen: [ grunts ]
I'll handle her.
you guys stop that machine.
kevin: you heard the lady.
let's start smashing stuff!
Gwen: [ grunts ]
ben: I think we can handle that
eatle: eatle!
Gwen: guys! The machine!
[ grunts ]
[ whimpering ]
charmcaster: hello!
are you a guard dog or what?
Sic 'em!
[ roars ]
kevin: tennyson!
I need some metal here!
[ Roaring ]
eatle: whoa.
My eyes are bigger than my
stomach.
I need a plan "b."
Chromastone: chromastone!
Kevin: [ grunting ]
chromastone: [ grunts ]
wow.
harder...than I thought.
[ grunting ]
ben: [ grunts ]
[ groans ]
gwen: ben! No!
[ Both grunt ]
kevin: [ grunts ]
gwen: no!
Charmcaster: just what I was
waiting for.
Gwen: [ whimpers ]
charmcaster: now, if you'll
excuse me, I have a very
important call to make.
Ab-ri du-an pad libir digir kun
gukin!
ab-ri du-an pad libir digir kun
gukin!
Who has summoned me?
charmcaster: I have called
you, old one.
I ask that my father be restored
to life.
And what do you offer in
return?
charmcaster: 600,000 souls,
the life-force of every living
thing in this dimension.
the bargain is made.
Are you prepared to make
payment?
charmcaster: I am.
Exige animas omnibus!
[ Thunder crashing ]
[ thunder crashes ]
charmcaster: huh?
daddy?
Daddy!
hope!
is it really you?
you've grown!
Charmcaster: [ gasps ]
oh, daddy!
I've missed you so much!
But I don't understand.
how is this possible?
Charmcaster: I did it, daddy!
I studied for years, and I found
the secret spells and talismans.
I sacrificed every living thing
in legerdomain, all for you!
you did what?
Charmcaster: I had to, daddy!
it was the only way!
I gave my life so that you
could be free of all this.
how could you even conceive of
something so evil?
charmcaster: but I did it for
you!
I thought if I could just get
you away from legerdomain, you
might have a chance at a normal
life.
instead, you became a worse
tyrant than addwaitya ever was.
Instead, you became a worse
tyrant than addwaitya ever was.
charmcaster: daddy, no.
[ Sobs ]
I'm sorry I wasn't there when
you needed me, hope.
but I can't stay here knowing my
life was bought at the cost of
so many others.
goodbye, my daughter.
I love you.
charmcaster: daddy.
If the bargain is refused,
then the payment must be
returned.
such is the way of magic.
[ Grunts ]
kevin: did we get...
I mean, were we just...
Gwen: what are you gonna do
now?
charmcaster: I don't know.
I just...don't know.
Ben: coming back from the
dead really builds up a thirst!
who's up for a smoothie?
Really? Nobody?
Gwen: I can't imagine what
charmcaster's going through.
ben: hard to feel sympathy
for somebody who thought so
little for people's lives.
gwen: but she lived her whole
life chasing after one thing.
Now that thing is gone, and
she's just...
empty.
how do you fill that void?
Kevin: it ain't easy trust me.
