You did well, mouse.
You saved me the trouble of
slaying Malkariss.
Now, I shall be the next ruler.
You have come to the end of your
journey, fool.
It’s the fox.
k*ll Slagar!
k*ll the slaver!
ALLKill the slaver!
Get the fox!
Chase him!
ALLKill the slaver!
b*at them!
k*ll them!
I think these belong to you.
Redwall!
Cynthia, what happened to
you?
I got angry.
Redwall!
Spiffing effort, Cynthia.
Up and at ’em, chaps.
Give ’em blood and vinegar!
Doom...
All is doomed...
Where is Slagar?
He was too fast for us.
We’ll never b*at him.
He’s too strong.
Nonsense.
If we stick together, we can
become a mightier force than
him.
Come on.

(Cheering)
Mattimeo’s been hurt!
I’ll be fine.
ORLANDOAuma, help Tess with
Mattimeo.
Hurry, more rats coming.
Sounds like hundreds of ’em
chanting, "k*ll ’em all, k*ll
’em all, k*ll ’em all!"
It’s Matthias, and he’s got
an army!
And it’s not "k*ll ’em all",
it’s "Redwall".
Father?
Redwall!
Mattimeo.
Father!
Look at you.
You are a warrior now.
Redwall!
ALLRedwall!
(Snoring)
She’ll be back soon.
It’s not like Constance to
disappear like this for so long.
She’s a badger.
She needs her solitude from
time to time.
All the same, it doesn’t feel
right.
We’ll probably wake in the
morning to find her cooking a
huge breakfast.
Cornflower, we’re in great
trouble.
Without Constance, we’re in
danger of an att*ck from
Ironbeak, and there’s nothing
we can do.
(Laughing)
(Knocking loudly on door)
Friends, I don’t know if it’s
night or morning or afternoon,
but I do know that this is a
great day.
ALLHurray!
As of this moment, you’re all
free creatures.
ALLHurray!
Come one, come all to
Redwall.
ALLRedwall!
You will never defeat me.
Redwall!
(All speaking frantically)
Earthquake!
Stop!
We have to get out.
(Slagar yelling)
Good heavens above, it’s
jolly old daylight.
Listen to the birds singing.
It must be dawn.
Smell the fresh air.
It’s beautiful.
Look!
Do not fear, little daughter.
We will find a way across.
Mattimeo, get every creature
out of here.
Wait for us outside.
I won’t leave you here.
Mattimeo, lead them where
I cannot.
(Snoring)
Quietly...
(Mumbling)
Terrific work, general.
They’ll wake up to the
nightmare of their lives.
I thought you should be the
first to know, I have taken
command of Redwall Abbey.
Move away.
It’s not safe here.
Will they get out?
Our fathers are great
warriors, Auma.
They’ll find a way.
(Gasping)
Daddy!
Auma, we must get the others
to safety.
It’s all caving in.
Where are the others?
There are no others.
No... no...
(Cawing)
Awake!
Rise and shine.
A new day is dawning over
Redwall.
You have commanded us well,
general, and fulfilled your
vision.
Truly, you are a great
conqueror.
Slagar will win in the end.
If the Blackrobes win, I will
rule them.
If Nadaz lives, I will slay him,
and say he betrayed Malkariss.
If the woodlanders are
victorious, I’ll k*ll Matthias
and take his sword.
In the end, Slagar will win.
(Loud rumbling)
(Yelling)
What was that?
I think the whole city just
caved in.
Our fathers are still down
there.
Whoa!
(Giggling)
Auma!
ALLHurray!
I say, old thing, whatcha
doing up there, picking apples?
Where am I?
He’s alive!
ALLHurray!
Slagar will win.
(Cawing)
You are now slaves of mighty
General Ironbeak.
I am his lordship’s voice.
He does not wish to speak to
scum like you.
All those silly little tricks
you played...who do you think
you were dealing with?
Let them all go.
It was none of their doing.
I, alone, am responsible for
defying your leader.
Take me.
(Cawing)
I am Ironbeak.
I say who lives and dies,
earth-crawler.
You big bully!
Leave our Abbot alone.
Stupid little earth-crawler.
You will be the first to die.
(Stryk screeching)
You hurt Sister May, I k*ll.
Help me, you fools!
Sorry, I was wrong-- you will
be the first to die.
(Cawing)
Sorry I’m late.
Some creature locked me up.
(Screeching)
(Screeching)
(Screeching)
(Cheering)
(Laughing)
I could dance around forever.
I’ve never been so happy in
my entire life.
Father Abbot, Redwall Abbey
is finally yours again.
We await your word.
I’d say our first problem is
how to stop Stryk flying ’round
and ’round.
Stryk fly now.
Me fly!
Me fly!
She’s making me dizzy.
A heroic warrior, and a bally
good tree climber, eh, wot?
Well done, Matthias.
Well done yourself.
Well done all of us!
Thank you.
(Gasping)
Mattimeo, wait.
Let him go.
Be kind in victory, my son.
Vitch has no place amongst
honest woodlanders.
(Vitch screaming)
Worthless little rat.
Slagar never misses.
(Laughing)
Death to the slaver!
Slagar will win.
(Screaming)
His days are ended.
I swore to slay him.
So did I, but this has saved
us any argument.
We have won, Orlando!
Against all odds, we have won.
ROLLOCaw-caw, silly
bird-beaks.
Caw-caw, silly bird-beaks.
Caw-caw, silly bird-beaks.
We have no slain you, nor
treated you badly.
Now, we give you your freedom.
We hope this will teach you a
lesson.
Every single creature’s life is
more valuable than anything your
dead leader promised you.
Absolutely.
When you hear the abbey bells
toll, fly as fast as your wings
will carry you, and never again
come to Redwall.
On the twelfth ring, Stryk
will chase any bird that doesn’t
comply.
(Bell ringing)
(Crows cawing)
(Cheering)
Cornflower sad?
I miss my family, Rollo.
I hoped they’d be back back now.
We stay up here ’til they
come back.
ABBOTI’m sorry you won’t
stay here with us at the abbey.
This bird got to go home to
Allrock, Allrock her mountain.
Goodbye, Stryk.
Good luck!
Watch for them birds.
Cornflower, you know the
Summer of the Golden Rain is
drawing to an end.
I was thinking of christening
the new season Autumn of the
Early Chestnut.
What do you think?
Oh, please don’t, Father
Abbot.
I don’t want to remember time
passing.
Not until Matthias and Mattimeo
are back.
Very well.
But it is a full season since
they left Redwall.
Perhaps now is the time to be,
well, realistic.
They may not come home.
(Cornflower sobbing)
Dust.
What are you talking about,
Constance?
Dust, look.
Over there.
Dust!
Good heavens, there is too.
Seems to be coming from the
path.
Some beast is coming.
The question is, who?
Home!
It’s them!
It is, it’s them!
They’re coming home!
Look, there’s our Tim and
Tess!
Mom and dad!
(Cheering)
I see before me a wondrous
sight; warriors that were
recently mere fledglings, and
strangers that will soon be
friends.
You are welcome to Redwall
Abbey, one and all.
(Loud cheering)
Father Abbot, we’ve come
home.
(All cheering)
CORNFLOWERMattimeo!
Oh, Matthias, I missed you.
ALLRedwall!
Seven seasons have passed
since the Autumn of the
Warriors’ Return, and this will
be the second season that I,
Tim Churchmouse, am the
Recorder, as was my father
before me.
The slaves who were freed from
the evil Malkariss have all
settled here.
The sparrow colony is
flourishing in the roof spaces,
but now it is called Warbeak
Loft.
Sir Harry the Muse was up there
with them, and was elected
leader and poetry instructor.
Jube and the entire Stump family
of hedgehogs are living, and
eating, in the wine cellar with
Ambrose Spike.
Rollo and Cynthia are bell
ringers, although I think Rollo
wants to become a squirrel.
Mattimeo and my sister Tess were
married and now have a son.
And Matthias, Basil, and Orlando
train our new defenders,
although we all hope we will
never need them to protect our
beloved and peaceful Redwall
Abbey.
May your lives be as full and
happy as ours, and may the
seasons be kind to you and your
friends.
The door of our abbey is always
open to any traveller roaming
the dusty path between the
woodlands and the plains.
So, please, be sure to visit us
if ever you are passing Redwall.
