02x09 - Wolfboy's Heart to Heart/The World's in Disarray

[bunniefuu]

Go on, Sprout. You go first.

"When darkness falls and fills the skies,

there's hope
inside a young outsider's mind…"

"…who sees what others cannot see.

Not what is or was, but what could be."

"Each side to the other's bound.

All is lost if balance can't be found."

"The seeds of change take root at night

and bloom when dreamers
fill the world with light."

Well, it sounds nice.

But what does it mean?

I really thought
if we found all the pieces…

No instructions. No advice. Just a poem!

It is a pretty poem though.

But what use is it?

It's supposed to tell me
how to save the world.

[sighs]

Don't worry, Wolfy.
I'm sure we'll figure it out.

-Maybe some mash-mallows will help.
-I don't have time for mash-mallows!

Don't you see? Everyone thinks
I've got the answer, but I don't!

It's getting late.
Maybe we should sleep on it.

It's okay, Sprout.

He's just a little stressed.
He's not himself.

[sighs]

[crickets chirping]

[trills]

[trills]

[trills]

[trills]

[sighs] Hey, Floof.
Couldn't sleep either, huh?

I really thought if I found the prophecy,
I'd know what to do

and how to be this hero
everyone seems to think I am.

Now I don't know.

Sometimes I wish--
I wish I was back home. With Mum.

[trills, purrs]

[sighs]

[yawns]

[purrs]

[Wolfboy snoring]

[wind whistling]

[human] William.

William.

William.

William.

Floof?

Hey! My mask!

-[exclaims]
-Stand and declare! Who goes there?

Uh…

What are you doing in my woods?

-Are you a troll?
-What? No, I'm Wolfboy. Who are you?

I am me!
The great adventurer and swashbuckler.

[groans]

Where did you come from?

I've traveled here from a far-off land
where the mountains make music, and--

No, wait. A-Actually, it's a mystery!

Nobody knows the truth,

-but legends tell of--
-You know what?

That's okay. Sorry, but I--
I'm looking for something I lost.

Oh, I'm looking for something too!

I'm looking for dragons.
Have you seen any dragons?

Dragons? No, sorry. No dragons.

Don't you want to play?

I'm sorry,
but I don't have time for games.

I have more important things
to worry about now.

-Where could it possibly-- Oh!
-[laughs] Gotcha!

Look, I'm sorry, but I need to find
my mask. It's really important.

Oh. That sounds like a quest!

-[chuckles]
-And it just so happens,

I'm really good at quests.

I will help you on your search.

[hums]

[gasps] Hey, if we're on a quest,
we need a questing song.

♪ A questing we shall go
To find the missing mask ♪

♪ Defeating every foe
Completing every task ♪

♪ And if we meet some dragons,
We'll ride them through the sky ♪

♪ And if we see an ogre ♪

-We'll, uh-- Mmm…
-We'll make an ogre pie?

-Yes!
-[chuckles]

I mean, ogre pie sounds pretty gross.
But I'll try anything once.

♪ A questing we shall go
To find the missing mask ♪

[both] ♪ Defeating every foe
Completing every task ♪

♪ A questing we shall go
To find the missing mask ♪

♪ Defeating every foe
Completing every task ♪

-[laughs]
-[laughs]

[wind whistling]

Why are you sad?

You wouldn't understand.

I get sad too sometimes.

It's just-- I don't know what I'm doing.

Everyone's counting on me
to change the world.

They think I'm some sort of hero.

Hey, I'm a hero too!

But I'm not a hero.

I thought the prophecy was gonna
tell me what to do, but it didn't.

Hmm, prophecies can be like that.
Very tricksy.

But what am I going to do?
I don't know how to change anything.

And if I don't have my mask,
everyone will realize that I'm just me.

Some silly little oddball…

who doesn't know what he's doing.

[sighs]

[human] William! Time for tea!

Oh! That's my mum. I'd better get home.

Your name's William too?

Yep. Hey!

My mum's really good at making masks.
I bet she can make you a new one.

-[William's mum] William!
-Coming, Mum!

Well, anyway, it was nice to meet you.

Hey! Hey, wait!

Huh?

Strange.

[William] Mum?

Boo!

[laughing]

[gasps] Mum?

[laughs] I hope you had fun
playing in the woods, William.

I did! I chased a dragon,
and I found a troll--

Oh, and I made a new friend.

[gasps] Another friend, huh?
What was this one like?

Well, he wasn't much good at games,
but he was pretty good at singing.

But the thing is,
he's sad 'cause he lost his special mask.

And he needs it
to change the world, you see?

Oh, I see.

Maybe you could help me
make him a new one?

[chuckles] All right. What kind of mask
should we make this friend of yours?

What about a wolf mask, like mine?

So your friend wants to change the world,
does he?

Yep. He's a hero.

Except he can't be a hero
if everyone sees who he really is.

That's why he needs the mask.

Oh, I don't think that's right.

What do you mean?

Well, this is definitely a hero's mask,
but not because it hides who's underneath.

This is a hero's mask
because it reveals who's underneath.

It shows the world what makes you special.

You mean what makes my friend special.

What makes your friend special.

It'll give you the courage
to be your true self.

And that's how you change the world,
my darling.

It starts in here.

-My tummy?
-[chuckles] Your heart.

That strange and wonderful heart of yours.

Then it climbs up and up and up
and bursts out of you like sunbeams

and inspires everything around you.

And that's how you change the world?

[chuckles]
Well, it's a good place to start.

Thanks, Mum.

-[door opens]
-Hey!

We made you a new hero's mask.

Thank you.

-[William's mum] William, bedtime.
-Oh, I gotta go.

Wait.

-[wind whistling]
-[gasps]

[gasps]

[Floof trills, babbles]

-Floof?
-[trills]

Let's get back to the others.

I'm back!

Hooray!

Back from where?

Getting us breakfast, I hope.

Nope.
I've been thinking about the prophecy.

Did you figure out what it means?

You know… [sighs] …I'm starting to think
the prophecy isn't what we thought it was.

This whole time I've been
looking for someone

or something to tell me what to do.

To tell me how to change the world.

I thought the Ancients
would give me the answer,

but I think that maybe that's the point.

Nobody can tell you the answer.

The only way to change the world
is to be different.

By being your true self.

And that has to come from within.

So, what now?

-Now, it's time to head home…
-[trilling]

…and figure this out ourselves.

Hooray!

Next time we go on a quest,
I'm definitely bringing more biscuits.

There won't be any biscuits
in the Disarray Realm.

Yeah. [chuckles]

Hey, Wolfy,
are you sure about this new plan?

I think so, Sprout.

We need to stop the fighting.
To do that, I need to talk to Nyx again.

If I tell her the prophecy
isn't what she actually thinks it is,

maybe I can persuade her
to stop destroying portals.

Oh… [sighs] …okay. As long as you're sure.

-[groans]
-Don't worry, Sprout.

This is just the next chapter
in our adventure.

We'll vanquish all the monsters
and discover all the treasures. And--

-[laughing] Yeah!
-[Seth, Xandra laughing]

Yeah! [laughs, gasps]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

This is a strange-looking root.

That looks like one of Meliae's roots.

The disarray tree?
What's it doing in our realm?

I don't know, but it's not the only one.

-[gasps]
-[gasps]

What's happening to Dryades?

[sprytes clamoring]

[spryte 1]
I don't think there are enough portals.

What are we gonna do?
Do you think we'll all get up there?

Sorry, folks, please form a single line.
We'll get you moving as fast as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

[gasps]

[clamoring continues]

-Professor Rabscuttle, what's happened?
-What's going on?

The portals, there aren't enough.
The disarrays have destroyed too many.

Now we can't get all
our beautiful creations to the surface.

Oh, goodness! Oh!

This is a disaster.

How did this happen?

Nyx.

[disarrays chanting] Nyx! Nyx! Nyx! Nyx!

-Disarrays.
-[chanting stops]

For too long you have suffered
at the hands of the sprytes.

For too long they have kept you
from reaching the surface.

They have been in charge,
and you have been forgotten.

But not anymore.
Look how far we have come.

[disarrays cheering]

[disarray 1] We've done it! Yeah!

And today we go further.
Today we change the world for good!

-[disarray 2] Yeah!
-[cheering]

-[chanting] Nyx! Nyx! Nyx! Nyx!
-[clamoring]

[chanting continues]

Today, Serebrin, we go home.

-[Sprout] What are we going to do?
-[Wolfboy] We stick to the plan.

We need to get to the Disarray Realm.

Let's go back to the dorm.
We'll get supplies, then head out.

[all gasp]

-Nyx?
-Nyx.

-Nyx!
-Nyx!

It's so good to see you again, William.

You left rather suddenly last time.
You didn't even say goodbye.

It's okay. I forgive you.

But what are you doing here? I thought
you were trapped in the Disarray Realm?

Oh, I was, but I found a way home.
Thanks to you.

[screeching]

Oh, no. My portal.

You see what happens
when we work together, William?

All this has been possible because of you.

You and your wonderful inventions.

It's time for you to restore the balance
just as the prophecy said.

The prophecy doesn't mean
what you think it means.

Can't you see what's happening
out there? You've gone too far.

The world won't be balanced
if the sprytes can't get to the surface.

Oh, William, don't you see?

It's not the sprytes who are the problem.
It's the humans.

Ever since the humans arrived, they
have been disrupting the fragile balance.

They are the ones
who destroy the beauty of the world.

They are the problem.

But I'm human.

You're different, William.
You know you are.

You've seen how they treat you
on the surface. They must be stopped.

What do you mean stopped?

The only way to restore balance
is to start again.

With the humans gone, the world can heal.

-Whoa.
-[all gasping]

What?

Uh, yeah. What?

[Nyx] Destroy Dryades.

Cut the humans off completely.

And see how long they last without
the sprytes' creations to sustain them.

[crows cawing]

When the time is right, you can create
new portals, and we can start again.

A blank canvas.

Don't you see, William?
This is your destiny.

You can't just get rid of the humans.

No, I can't. Not without your help.

I need you to help me destroy Dryades.

But all this time I thought you cared.
You were just using me.

-Of course I care.
-No! I won't do it.

They were right about you. You're evil.

I'd hoped
it wouldn't have to come to this.

Seize them.

-[gasp]
-[growls]

-[grunting]
-[groans]

-Quick, everyone, run!
-Hey!

[grunting, straining]

-[gasps] Xandra.
-[Sprout screaming]

-Whoa!
-[grunts]

[shouting, screaming] Wolfy!

[grunting]

Run, Wolfboy! We'll be okay. Run!

Run.

-[growls]
-Leave them. We have his friends.

[grunting]

He'll come back around.

Serebrin, Wuji, take the tree.

Disarrays, attack.

[clamoring, screeching]

[sighs] It's good to be home.

[both panting]

We have to warn the elders she's here.

They need to know
she's coming to destroy Dryades.

-[elders gasp]
-What is the meaning--

You. Where have you been?

-Nyx. She's here in the Spryte Realm.
-[all gasping]

Impossible.

-Nyx is trapped in the Disarray Realm.
-No, she's not.

Not anymore. And she's coming.
She wants to destroy Dryades.

We don't have time for this.

Look. Go and look. She's coming right now.

[clamoring, screeching]

It is Nyx. She's here!

-Nyx? Nyx is here?
-[gasps] Oh, how could you?

-[screams]
-Oh, no!

How did she get in?

Um, I might have created a portal for her.

We must protect Dryades at all costs.

All sprytes to the atrium.
Defend the tree.

-Defend Dryades.
-[clamoring, screeching]

My queen, this plan to destroy humans,
I-- I wish you would have told me.

It wasn't necessary for you to know, Wuji.

But how does this help the disarrays?

Enjoy yourself, Wuji.
You're on the winning side.

-[grunting]
-We can't hold them off ourselves.

This is all your fault!

What? No.

[Seth grunts]

Leave him alone.

-[all gasping]
-Disarray!

-[gasps] A disarray.
-What?

-Seize her. Seize them both!
-[trills]

No, she's a friend. She's on our side.

What? No. We're trying to help you.

[grunting]

[screeching, clamoring]

-[gasps] It's Nyx. Retreat!
-Wait, wait. Stop!

[guard] Hurry. Flee to the Mountain Realm.

[elder spryte] They're here.
Everyone, this way. Stay calm.

Run! Run! Run!

-[screaming]
-[panting] Oh, dear.

[disarrays chanting]
Disarrays! Disarrays! Disarrays!

-Yeah!
-Disarrays! Disarrays! Disarrays!

-[grunting]
-[chanting continues]

William.
It's time to fulfill your destiny.

[singsongy] William.

William.

William.
