02x03 - A Dinosaur Comes For Tea/Things Seem Unsound

[bunniefuu]

Destruction can be an inspirational tool.

Let's see how you can use your powers
to shape that boulder.

Destructoboom. There.

Wow.

Very clever, William.

But you don't need to rely on your toys
to harness the destruction wisps.

Well done. Now how does it feel?

It's fun! Like playing with clay.

Yes. Destruction can be such wondrous fun.

But the key is to direct your destruction
and give it purpose.

That is what gives you true power.

Don't be afraid, child.

Something's messy in there, isn't it?
What's on your mind, dear?

It's just—

Is it true that you betrayed the sprytes?

I was banished
for trying to protect the disarrays.

I did what I had to do.

And I believe
it was the right thing to do.

Then it's true?
You k*lled my friend's parents?

No. But accidents happen during w*r.

There was a tragic waste of life
on both sides.

That is why you're so important, William.

You can fulfill the prophecy
and restore the balance.

But… why me?

You have the power to use
both creation and destruction wisps.

No one can do that, not even me.

You're special, William.

You see?

In the right hands,
destruction can be beautiful.

You have the power to shape the world
into something better.

- Thanks.
- For what?

For telling me the truth.

My queen.

What is it, Serebrin?

The generals and I
would request your presence

to discuss a private matter.

Very well.

William, why don't you pop back
to your room and keep practicing?

- I'll see you shortly.
- Okay.

Come on, Floof.

Let's go see if we can get
any advice from Athena.

Why did he have to be
in the Disarray Realm of all places?

Why couldn't he be in the Lavender Lab
or the Lettuce Lab or the Fluffy Fields?

Well, he's in the Disarray Realm,

and this is no time to be
quaking in your roots.

He needs us.

Professor Athena knows everything
about disarrays.

She'll tell us how we can get to the realm
and rescue Wolfboy. No muss, no fuss.

Although, I wouldn't mind a little muss.

Well, look who it is.

Sorry, Floof.
I know you don't like it here.

But I feel like I'm finally
getting some answers.

Maybe another day or two,
then we'll go home.

Look. If I have these powers,
I should learn how to use them, right?

It's a Floof.

Floof, I think we're being watched!
We'll see about this.

Spin storm!

Who are you and what do you want?

It's you. From the carriage.
Why are you spying on me?

Sorry. I didn't mean to spy on you.

- I just—
- He must've gone this way.

- Hey!
- Quiet.

So you're sure it was this alley, Wuji?

Well, it could have been an alley
very much like this one.

Life is full of uncertainties.

Send for the Nosehound.

That's a neat trick.
But why are we hiding?

- I can't be seen talking to you.
- Why not?

I have to go. Be back soon.

Wait a minute.
I want to know why you were spying on me.

Not here. It's not safe.

Is this where you live?

Sometimes. I— I hide out here
when I don't want anyone to find me.

I had a place like that back home,
in the woods.

I'm Wolfboy.

Seth.

Wow. Did you draw these?

You mustn't tell anyone.

Well, why?

I'm a disarray. Drawing is a spryte thing.

Who says so?

Well, I won't tell anyone.
I like to draw too.

Look.

This is a Wumplemunster.
It loves to sing, but only on Wednesdays.

And this is Hopton, my explodeling rabbit.

She lives in the Blunder Dungeon
these days.

And this is me and Sprout and Xandra.
They're my spryte friends.

I bet they're worried about me.

Your friends are small and flat.

These are just little sketches.
You know, like…

This is Dryades, the spryte portal tree.

But in real life, it's much bigger.

Is it true they make rainbows
in the Spryte Realm?

Rainbows and foxes
and clouds and everything.

But this realm's great too.

Nyx has been telling me
all about the disarrays and—

Did I say something wrong?

- I don't like Nyx.
- Why not?

She pretends to be your friend
with her charming words and promises,

and disarrays are falling for it,
but I'm not.

I think she and her generals
are just using us.

Using you for what?

I don't know exactly.
But I know they're not to be trusted.

They found us!

Wolfboy, run!

Find her.

Hey, wait! Leave her alone.
She didn't do anything wrong.

This doesn't concern you, human.

Now, if our esteemed guest wouldn't mind,
we can escort him back to his room.

I want to see Nyx.

Well, she's not here, is she?

What can I do for you, Xandra?

You remember my name.

Of course I do.

You're the one who trapped me
in my own crystal.

Right.

Professor, we were just wondering,

if we wanted to get to the Disarray Realm,
how would we go about that?

Ha! Eager to join the fray?

Sprytes can only…

cross between realms…

in certain places
where the border is thin.

Like the Memory Maze. Or the Dreamscape!

Indeed.

Oh, crumbs. Xandra, I don't like
the Dreamscape or the Memory Maze.

Aren't there any nice safe portals
that go to the Disarray Realm?

Of course not.
Portals only go to the surface.

Now why all these questions?

The Disarray Realm is no place
for sprytelings.

You wouldn't last two minutes in there.

Best leave it to the professionals
like me.

If Athena's right, there's only one way
for us to get to the Disarray Realm

and rescue Wolfboy.

Is it the hard way? It is, isn't it?

I can see it in your face.

I don't know what to think, Floof.
Maybe I can't trust Nyx.

Maybe she's hiding things from me too.

I definitely don't trust
that Serebrin guy.

He's the worst.

I wish I could talk to Sprout and Xandra.
I really miss them.

Seth! You're okay. I was so worried.

Wolfboy, listen. You're in danger.

I know you don't trust Nyx,

but I don't think she'd do anything
to hurt me.

Not Nyx, it's Serebrin.

I overheard him
talking to the other generals.

They don't like that Nyx
has brought a human here.

They want you gone.
They're coming for you tonight.

Tonight? Well, Floof,
I guess we've outstayed our welcome.

- Where are you going?
- Home.

Hey, where's Excaliboom?

I left it with Nyx.

I suppose I can make a new one.
Come on then.

- Let's go.
- Are you sure you can just leave?

We're trapped.
How are we gonna get home now?

- I can help you escape.
- Really?

Yes, but…

you have to take me with you.

We're going to have to go
through the Dreamscape.

But if we want to make it back,
we're gonna need a plan.

Wolfy always has the most cunning plans.

If only he were here,
he'd know what to do.

Sprout, if he were here,
we wouldn't need a plan.

Oh, yeah.

Poor Wolfy. He must be terribly afraid.

He's all alone.

Okay, so what's the plan here?

We need to get you back
to that passage you came through.

Isn't there an easier way?

Not if you don't wanna be seen.

If we're careful, we'll be halfway there
before anyone realizes you've gone—

Where is he? How did he escape?

They might know I'm gone.

What do you mean gone?

He's not in his room, my queen.

I tried to tell you
humans can't be trusted,

but you insisted on letting him in.

Find him.

I want every nook, crevice, crater
and cranny searched.

He cannot leave.

What are you waiting for? Go!

And Serebrin,

I do not want that child harmed.
Do you understand me?

Why can't grown-ups
ever just tell me the whole truth?

I'm sick of feeling like
they're playing games with me.

Quick!

I do wish I could have learned more
about my destruction powers though.

I only just found out I had them.

What about you? Will you miss this place?

Is there anyone
you need to say goodbye to?

No. I don't really have anyone… anymore.

Well, now you've got me and Floof.

They're looking for us.

Wolfboy!

- We caught him!
- Nyx will be so pleased with us.

No, I caught him.

- What do you mean? You didn't catch him!
- I did so.

I caught him before you got here,

and I'm taking him back to Nyx
for my reward.

Now, listen, that's my net he's in,
so don't go telling me you caught him.

- I caught him.
- We caught him.

Well, actually, I caught him.

Well, actually, I helped.

You watched.

Yes, I did it!

Spin storm!

You lost them.

In here.

That was some quick thinking, Seth.

You're gonna love Xandra.
She does that kind of stuff all the time.

Yeah.

I can't wait.

What's wrong?

Do you think your spryte friends
will like me?

Of course they will.
Why are you worried about that?

I don't know. I just—
I've never left the Disarray Realm.

What if I don't fit in up there either?

I used to worry about that too.

But then I found friends.

Friends are what makes a place
feel like home.

What if they don't wanna be
friends with a disarray?

They're gonna love you. I know it.

Let's just worry about getting home first.

And speaking of that,
we appear to have run out of tunnel.

- Now, we go up.
- Up?

We'll have to cross this
to get you to that passage.

It's gonna be a long walk.

I think I might be able
to speed things up.

Can you help me make something?

I'd probably end up wrecking it.

Then just wreck a hole for us to sit in.
Like a tub.

This doesn't feel like making.
It feels like destroying.

It's how you look at it.

Sometimes making stuff and breaking stuff
is kind of the same thing. Hop in.

Going somewhere, human?

This is amazing.

He's gaining on us.

Hang tight. There's a bump ahead.

Oh, no! I'm sorry.

You've caused me quite a lot of trouble,
human.

Okay, listen up.
We're Wolfboy's only hope.

The disarrays may outnumber us,
but we have something they don't: a plan.

Do we have a plan?

Step one: gear up for action.

Step two: fetch Athena.
We'll need protection.

Someone we can trust.
And also, she's so cool.

Step three: storm the Dream Lab

and cross the border
into the Disarray Realm.

And finally, step four:
defeat the disarrays,

save Wolfboy,
and be the legends we were born to be.

Questions?

Look. This has nothing to do with Seth.
Just let her go.

Well, isn't that cute?

He's made friends with a disarray.

I think you should
make a run for it, Seth.

Look at you. Pathetic.
You think this human will ever accept you?

I'm done being scared of you.

Just let Seth go!

- I'll come back with you.
- You're not going anywhere.

But— But Nyx!

Nyx will thank me someday for this.

Wolfboy, I'm so sorry.

Don't give up now.

What are you doing?

I'm going to make us a portal out of here.

These are my friends and that's my bed,
so it knows where to go.

Okay, for the last time.

We'll fetch Athena,
raid the eating hall for blue mash,

collect scientific readings,

balance our auras…

Any other brilliant additions to the plan?

Wolfboy! It's you!

We did it. Great rescue mission, everyone.

But how did you get here?

I made a portal.

- You can't just make a portal.
- Why not?

Well, because…

Where's it gone?

What does it matter, Xandra? He's home!

Sorry.

This is Seth.
She's my new disarray friend.

I hope it's all right
if she stays for a bit.

It's dangerous to disappoint me, Serebrin.

My sincerest apologies, my queen.

I just don't understand.
Where did they go?
