01x02 - Eye of the Beholder

[bunniefuu]

Hey, look! A "Dungeons and Dragons"
enchanted castle!

Wow, great!

Oh, come on!

I don't like this anymore!

Wow, what's happening?

Where are we?

Watch out!

Fear not, wanderer,

barbarian, wizard,
thief,

knight and acrobat!

What was that?

That was Venger,
the embodiment of evil!

And I am the Adventure Master,
your guide,

a Dungeons and Dragons
world!

The Eyewall gaze

Caption: milren

May or 50 degrees shade

and there is no shadow anywhere.

I'll tell you!

People in daylight in the sky,
what do you expect?

Once in a similar situation
I was on a safari.

I'm lost.
The sun was burning my brain...

So this is what happened to your brain...

So, what did you do, Eric?

I told Dad on cb-radio
and the valet picked me up in the golf cart.

- In Africa?
- No, in our backyard.

Adventure Master said,
to head towards the setting sun,

that is, that way!

The Adventure Master? Two days ago
we haven't seen that clown!

I say we can go that way,
Anywhere we want!

All right, wise guy!
So, which way shall we go?

I say, let's go...

Look!

This is the biggest bug,
I have ever seen!

I'll tell you!

No time to look around!
Run!

Come on!
Quickly!

Faster!
The scorpion is catching up!

A scorpion? Will it catch up?
Faster?

This is not good!

That was close!

Quickly!
In here!

The scorpion is too big,
to fit in here!

Oh, my gosh!

My God!

That was close!

Hi!

He's gone!
The scorpion is gone!

Look!
There's a knight!

I think he saved us!

How can we thank you, sir?

Thank you?

But what?

To banish the
the giant scorpion!

Yeah, or so...

It was nothing!

An average day
in the life of a knight!

Great!

A good session!
Is this something you can learn somewhere?

Of course, you idiot!
At the riding school!

Well, I would continue on my way.

Watch out in the area!
You never know what you might run into!

What is it called?

I'm Sir John,
Official Protector of the Village of Pendrake

and demons, monsters
and dragons!

And scorpions!

Did you hear what he said?

Nobody knows,
what we might run into!

No one?

Adventure Master!

Do you have to do this all the time?

No. Not always!

I found your way home
a possible way home,

but very dangerous!

What is not dangerous around here?

We are listening, Master Adventurer!

In the far north,

there is a barren, sad place,
called the valley of the Eye Farn!

It looks like a terrible place!

It was not always like this!

Once one of the empire's
was one of the most beautiful valleys of the Empire.

- Until the publication of the Eyewitness News!
- What is the Eyewash?

The Eye Hall is a brutally
evil beast,

that came from the underworld and all
and destroyed all beauty in the valley.

Yuck! Disgusting!
I can't even look at it!

The gateway is guarded by the Eyewitness Observatory,
that leads to your world.

You mean we have to meet
with this horror?

Not just to meet,
you must also defeat him!

And remember,

sometimes, if you look back,

you will find an easier way,
than that which is before you.

Come on! He's starting again!

Watch out,

only beauty can defeat
the Hall of Eyes!

Oh, come on!

It's gone!

What are you doing, Bobby?

Adventure Master said,

let's look back,
if we want to move forward!

But I only want to see the place
where we met Sir John.

Well, yes...
sometimes Adventure Master...

Now wait!
That's it!

Sir John is part of our past,

but perhaps also the key to our future!

That's right! Anyone who beats you
one of those scorpions,

you can easily beat
the Eyewall!

Great! Finally someone else is fighting
with the local monsters instead of us!

- It went this way!
- Let's find him!

...So, Sir John, the Council
has come to the conclusion,

that a cowardly knight like you
cannot defend our village!

Yes, sir! I...

And we decided to hire
a new and brave knight,

as soon as possible!

Oh, Dad! Here we go again...

Every village has been
we have been!

Mr Mayor... would you reconsider...
my son and I are alone...

Well, if you finally have some
do something particularly heroic,

then we would think about it,
maybe you could stay!

You can do it, Mr Mayor!
You can do it!

Yes! I'll do it!
I will be brave!

This is your last chance, Sir John!

Your last chance!

- Last chance!
- Last chance!

You can do it, Dad!
It will work!

Father, never again
I never want to eat mushrooms again!

I think they are
are not edible anyway, Eric.

This place gives me the creeps!

Let's stay together!

Yeah, well, nobody knows,
what we might run into!

- What was that? - I don't know,
but it didn't sound friendly!

For once
I agree with you, Uni.

Presto, how about some light
You can make light?

Light?
No problem...

Child's play!

- Who are they?
- Not "who", "what" are they?

Whoever,
the light hurts their eyes!

Oh, no!

If you need the light,
we'll do it!

It worked!

I don't know,
how long we can hold them back!

Hank, look out!

I don't believe it!

- We fight with snails!
- And we lose to them!

Forces that drive away the night,

not to see the
the snails anymore!

Hey, get him off me!

Maybe I can do a little
some sunshine in here!

Maybe I can do it!

Uni! Run away!

Find Sir John!
Hurry up!

Someone help!

- Help!
- Somebody help!

Where do you think they are taking you?

Wherever they want!

All right! I'll shut up!

I have to be brave!

I have to do it for my son!
I need a heroic act! But what?

Ouch! Here comes trouble!
Not yet! I'm not ready!

milren

A monster!

You... you're...

Where are your friends?

How? Me?
Shall I go with you?

That's impossible! A heroic act
I must perform a heroic act!

Hey! Bring back my torch!

Don't leave me here alone
in the dark!

Stop!

Well, finally...

You're a clever girl, Uni!

Look! It's Sir John!
He's driven the slugs away!

I knew he would save us,
Sir John!

Yes...
How?

Yes, yes...

Here you go, sir. We have nothing,
so we give you this flower as a token of our gratitude!

But I...

Thank you for the honour
an old knight, my lady!

Actually, Sir John, you saved me
us from the trouble of looking for you!

Find me?
Why?

- Well, so... - We want to,
We want you to take us to the Eye Candy.

To the Eye Candy?

But... but... that's a big
courage!

That's why we need you,
Sir John!

Exactly! You are the bravest man,
we've met here so far!

Is that me?

Well, yes... but...

Great! Will that do?

How? Yes... but first
I have to go back to the...

...for my shield!

Wait! Presto makes magic
a shield for you!

Forces of magic make it big,

let's see how Sir John
has a shield!

- Father!
- Sorry!

Here you are, Sir John.
Your new... shield!

No... I can't accept that...

Thank you, but...

Will you take us to the Eye Candy?

Please, Sir John! This is the only
chance to get back to our world!

What do you mean?

Ignore it!
We'll tell you on the way!

So be it!

To the Eye Candy!

The Hall of Eyes!
I've gone completely mad!

Smart Eyewash!
Tick, tick!

- Sir John...
- What?!

I mean,
what is it, son?

You don't think so,
we should have a plan?

A plan?

Well, yes! Yes!
Good idea! A plan!

Think about it,
I'll go ahead!

What? You are the knight!
This is crazy!

Well, the good plan is in vain,

if the Eye Hall surprises you
us. Right?

Make a plan
and I'll make sure it works!

Yes, to come in!

I think it's the blobs
totally buggy!

I can't resist
the Eyesore!

But this way me and my son
will be sent away from the village!

What should I do now?

You do what you're told!

Venger!

You will accompany the children to the Eyewall,
as they wish

and then you leave them!

What? I am a coward,
but those kids...

To the Eye Candy?

I will not do it!

- I will not do it!
- But you will, Sir John! Coward...

Help!
Help me, Father!

My son!

If you do as I command,
your son can return to you!

Sir John, you don't have much time!

I don't care what you say!
I think Sir John is afraid!

Okay...

I hope your plan is ready, because
the Eye Hall is waiting for you! Let's go!

That's it!

He does not seem to be afraid,
"I know better than that" Mr!

- Well, if you ask me...
- We're not asking, Eric! No questions asked!

Come on!

This place is awful!

I don't understand,
how anything can live here!

It's not even alive...
too long!

The Hall of Eyes on the
is beyond that crevice!

If it is indeed guarding the gateway, then
we must confront him! Come on!

Good luck!
I'm off now!

Stop already, colleague! He said,
you're coming with us to the Eyeborg!

And here I am!

I never said I would fight it!
It's waiting for you!

But, Sir John! We thought... I thought,
you were a brave knight!

- Yes!
- Yes... yes, I know...

Come on!
At least you got me this far!

- Nice little knight!
- What a bunny!

If only it were more bunny-like,
he would lay eggs!

What's that?

That will be the Eye Hall!

- What do we do now?
- Don't panic!

I can't believe it,
you said that!

It's my fault!
This is the worst one yet!

What kind of knight am I?

You are a coward, Sir John,
as you always were!

- A weak fool!
- Venger!

The Hall of Eyes soon
will defeat the young

and get the magic
weapons!

And my son?
What about my son?

Your son is here!

Father!

Timothy!

Brave boy,
not like his father!

What do you mean, Father?

Not important, son!
Not at all!

Help! Help!
Somebody help!

Do you hear, Father? Someone needs
needs our help!

Timothy, wait!
Come back here!

Help!

I hate this world!

First walking snails,
now an electric octopus?

- Presto, can't you do something?
- I can't reach my hat!

- Look, Dad!
- It's Sir John!

I told you I heard rabbit noises
I heard a rabbit!

Don't worry!
My father and I will help you!

Poor kid! Disappointing
is in store for him!

Timothy! Get back!
I'm busy!

- I can't believe it!
- He's diverting the Hall of Eyes! Look!

Father! Look out!

No!

Fight, Sir John!

You won't win my first battle
so easily, Eyesarnest!

I do not understand!

What did Adventure Master mean when he said
beauty could defeat the Eyecatcher?

That's it!
The flower!

Sir John! The flower I gave you...
Show it to the Eyecatcher.

The flower?
Where is the flower?

You did it, man!
You did it!

And he managed to do something else!
Look!

That's it!
The gateway home!

Let's go!

Hurry up!
We don't have much time!

You did it, man!
You've defeated the Hall of Eyes!

Thank you, Sir John!

Bobby, quick!
The gateway's closing!

What about Uni?

He does not belong in our world!
You must stay here with Sir John!

Hurry up!

I don't want to leave you with anyone!
Especially not... with him!

- Hank, look!
- Venger!

For the first and last time
you have disappointed me, Sir John!

Come here, Timothy.

Use my magic shield
Against Venger?

Hank, what can we do?

Father, I can almost feel it
the taste of hamburgers!

Hey! What are you waiting for?
Come on!

And now, that's it,
Sir John,

we are finished forever!

I don't think it will be
that easy, Venger!

What is this?

It's the rescue team, Venger!

Rescue team?
I can't believe what I'm seeing!

I can't believe it,
what I'm doing!

- Well done, mate!
- Thank you!

What is it?

- That was great, but how did you do it...
- I didn't...

- So, who did it?
- What happened?

How can I thank you?

Let's call it a draw,
Sir John.

- Sir John! You are a hero!
- You've defeated the Hall of Eyes!

One of us thought,
you were afraid, Sir John.

All right, all right...
I was wrong...

Come on, Eric! Admit it,
even you were afraid!

Me? No way!

It takes more than
Eyeballs to scare me!

That'll be an adjective, knight!

That's right!
