Kelsey: Kelsey dislodged her blade with a twist.
The victory felt as hollow as her sword,
for her foe was just wet dirt,
and even a lowly earthen worm could take down a pile of mud.
She needed a worthy opponent.
I think she's doin' that narratin' thing again.
Yeah, but her narrating seems a lot more dramatic today.
Ooh! Maybe she was friends with that mud man,
but he betrayed her, stole her snacks,
burned her...farm down.
I'll go make her a new one!
And to think, she had welcomed him into her farm --
Oh, oh, my gosh! You guys! I think I found somethin'!
All: Whoa!
What are they?
Great ancient wisdom is what we seek,
so we call upon you, the Elders of the Creek.
Mark: Ah, this is hopeless!
Barry: C'mon, we could take him!
David got his green belt!
I'm going to get my green belt!
A rainbow belt wouldn't stop him!
He's too powerful!
Your Elderships, have we come at a bad time?
No, no. What can we help you with?
My friends and I discovered these mysterious relics.
Mayhaps ye may know what they may be?
Ah, yes, these are gravity sticks,
juggling instruments that originated in Chinese circuses,
but which experienced a true renaissance in the 1990s.
David...

Knock it off!
Stop doing cool stuff while I'm angry!
What's wrong, Your Eldership?
Justice...is dead.
All: No!
Any virtue but Justice!
This plaque used to hold a near-priceless replica
of Blightblade, the titular sword
from the Eastern animation masterpiece
"Esoteric Sword Fighter K."
You probably haven't seen it.
Why, will you ask, did I use the past tense
to describe what this plaque once held?
Because a traitorous thief named Jerry stole it from us!
Well, what's stoppin' you guys from takin' it back?
You guys are tall!
We are no match for Jerry.
He could easily destroy all three of us.
And now that he has the sword, no one in the creek is safe.
David, we're gonna have to hang out in your garage again.
Uh, about that...
my grandma got rid of the bean bags.
What?!
She said they encouraged slouching!
As she watched the Elders discuss lumbar support,
Kelsey realized something:
This was the challenge she'd been waiting for...
a Jerry!
Kelsey: I will do it.
I will battle this "Jerry" and retrieve the Elder Sword.
Huzzah! A knight to rescue us!
We'll find a way to lure Jerry back to our cavern.
And then the boss battle begins!
Oohh! Oh, man, Kelsey, this is so bad butts!
You got a real deal quest!
It's so brave of you to stand up for the Elders.
All of creek society would fall apart without their wisdom.
Kelsey had started down an epic path,
and at its end, a formidable foe.
So bold, he bested the elders.
So mysterious, his name was only spoken
in frightened whispers.
And so, rippling with a million muscles,
Kelsey would need to prepare for what would be
a battle for the ages!
I need to train! I can't do it alone!
Oh oh oh! Me! Pick me!
Me! Me me! -Yes! Please!
Pick us, valiant knight!
If only I knew two eager young squires to aid me.
Why isn't she pickin' me? Why isn't she pickin' me?
Well, I suppose you two will do!

[ Sighs ]
You are the best squires a warrior could ask for.
Yeah, my neck's feelin' pretty buff
from all that nodding I was doin'.
Thanks to you guys and that Dumpster fruit we found,
I have grown stronger.
I will handily defeat Jerry.
Yeah, I just hope that Jerry guy isn't trainin', too.
Wait, what?
Well, because, like, if you're trainin' to catch up to him,
but he's trainin', too...
And, like, he was stronger to begin with,
then he's probably way stronger now!
And, like, you'll never be able to catch up,
like how I can never be as old as my sister,
no matter how many birthday cakes I eat.
[ Gulps ] Stop it!
You're gonna get in her head!
♪♪
Kelsey gripped her fork until her knuckles
were as white as the mashed potatoes.
Could she, a middle class half-orphan,
really conquer someone as ruthless
and as cunning as Jerry?
[ Clears throat ] Want some milk?
What a fool, what a fool she was,
what a small, but growing everyday fool.
If Kelsey should fail,
the Elders would no doubt flee their rock,
and she would be the one to blame.
And she would never be able to show her face
in the creek again.
Ahh! Phew, it's just the kids!
I knew that!
Hello, we were just looking for something.
Where is little knight?
Um, she was supposed to meet us here.
Dang, I knew she would back out!
Heh, I can't believe David picked her to be our knight.
The fear must have gotten to her.
Pbht! Kelsey's got no fear!
Her body is made of, like, a million six packs now
and her sword has like a thousand teeth
that can cut through the hardest piece of toast!
Yeah, I think she's just a little late.
Hey! Lil' big knight's here!
Young paladin, you came in the end!
Barry doubted you but I always believed in you.
Um, Kelsey?
Now, it's the time for you to prove yourself
by defeating Jerry the Pilferer.
We sent him a phony birthday invitation to lure him here!
And I wrote there will be cake!
Both: Hehehehehe.
And I got this birthday banner for him!
We're not actually throwing a party, David!
♪♪
It's Jerry.
Hey, gang! Thanks for the invitation.
I just got back from a bird watching camp.
Sorry, I didn't have time to bring a gift
but I brought two birthday hats!
I'm really excited about that cake, yo.
Hohoho, the only cake you'll have is a pound cake!
Because our knight here is going to pound you into dough!
Yeah, yeah, you don't look so Jerry, Jerry!
Yeah, this third grader's going to take back my sword for me!
You mean, this one?
[ Gasps ]
You can have it back when you pay me back
for those movie tickets I bought you.
We did pay you back, you blockhead!
No, you paid me back for one of them.
And you didn't include the online purchase service fee.
Hey! If you decide to buy them online,
that service fee is on you! Now, go!
Kick his little baby buns!
Uh, drop that sword [ Clears throat ]
or, uh, I'll do it myself.
Oh, well, if you insist.

Great! We got the best seats!
Creek rules: First to lose their weapon loses!
Kelsey froze, trying to see a path to victory.
How could she face a sword four times her size?
She was going to fail.
Why isn't she moving? What's going on with her?
I can't watch!

Failure! Defeat!
British accent! Kelsey thought!
Kelsey thought! Kelsey thought!
Why isn't she movin'?
-She's narrating. -Oh, I don't know.
She usually moves around a lot when she's narratin',
doin' this and that.
She must be stuck. Stuck in her own head!
No hard feelings, smallsword.
The great warrior Kelsey looked at her friends.
She suddenly realized
this wasn't to be the end of her tale,
for she had prepared long and hard for this!
'Til her six pack bulged out!
Okay. I can't do British.
Hey! Creek rules: The only weapons allowed
are swords, not words!
Her opponent might have a really big sword,
but Kelsey had the heart of a thousand warriors!
She had the guts to stand up to for justice
and do what she did best.
Both: Fight!
Can you keep it down? It's distracting.
Hey, bird watcher, you missed this bird.

Oh, well, it was a little big for me anyway.

Well, knight girl, it seems you've completely
destroyed my sword.
My sincerest apologies.
Perhaps I can take on another quest?
I will bring you a blacksmith to mend your sword:
Dead or alive.
I'm kind of scared of this kid.
No, young paladin, that won't be necessary.
You have already proven your mettle today.
We might not have our sword back, but what really matters...
is that Jerry doesn't have it.
Now, who wants cake to celebrate the victory?
Hey, where is the cake?
Nom nom nom.
