[Mother] Memories are a window into the past.
Agh-hh!
-[growls] -[Mother] But when revisited,
they can open a doorway to the future.
We call it "Totus Praeter," or "The Totality."
With these core readers, you will be inside
the virtual projection of your parents' subconscious.
Unfortunately, they will be unable to see you.
If Morando is inside Mama and Papa's minds,
then it won't take long for him to discover
where on Earth they hid Gaylen's core.
And once he finds it...
He'll have all the power he needs to conquer the galaxy.
Mother, we need to get inside this Totality now.
[King] Are you sure that Krel is ready for all of this?
-[Queen] Were you? -Look at you.
At first, I desired only your death and your throne,
but now I've learned there's so much more.
Krel is just a boy.
And that is why, until he is ready,
Gaylen's core rests in the hands of its guardian.
Tell me, who protects the relic?
[Morando] I will find the truth.
You cannot stop me. Ha!
[Mother] Do not interfere with the memories,
or you risk destroying the very information you seek.
-[Krel] Ay, ay, ay. -[Luug whimpers]
We're ready, Mother.
Good fortune, my royals.
[Queen's voice] No one gets to choose their station in life, Aja.
[Mother] Welcome to the Totality.
[King's voice] The Talon has betrayed us! We are forced to retreat!
[Mother] This is the doorway to your parents' memories.
-[Queen] For hundreds of keltons... -[Aja gasps]
Akiridion-5 stood divided between two houses.
Each of these are memories.
[Mother] All indexed and searchable based on your desired parameters.
Your mother and I will be gone, and you and Aja will be all the other has.
-[King] Krel... -Mother, search for Gaylen's core.
[Mother] I count 7,547 of your parents' memories
relating to Gaylen's core.
The most recent from the day of Morando's coup.
That is not a memory I want to revisit.
Oh... but it looks like Morando's already been here.
He must be destroying the memories to cover up his tracks.
[Mother] Indeed, so you must move swiftly.
[gasps]
Morando has a head start, but we have the advantage.
Krel, do you know how a head start works?
We know Mama and Papa.
Right now, Morando has to comb through all of their memories.
But we know them well enough to find the right ones.
[chuckles] Remember the stories they used to tell us?
How about "The Legend of Gaylen's Core"?
-[screams] -Hmm...?
[screaming]
-[yelping] -[guard] Pipe down back there!
You humans don't seem to understand what a rescue mission entails.
Aja! My ninja-kicking angel.
Angel? I'm not dead, silly.
[screams] What happened to your face?
Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey.
Mrs. Lucy?
Aja is Mrs. Lucy? Are they the same person?
Aja, are you in there? Can you hear me?
Calm yourself, young oaf.
I suspect Aja and Krel are fine, thanks to these two.
I'm a helper!
[whines] I don't even know who you are anymore, Aja.
Surf's up, buckaroos!
Move out!
[Aaarrrgghh!!! howls]
-Geronimo! -[Toby grunts]
Okay, I can do this. Who's the man?
-I'm the man! [screams] -[Eli gasps]
Oh, I don't think I can do this.
I don't think my body can take the fall. I have weak ankles.
-[Vex groans] -[Eli gasps, yells]
-[Steve yelps] -[Vex groans]
-I did it! -What? You did nothing!
-[Vex] Are you all unharmed? -[Ricky] Well, what's it look like?
Oh, honey, are you okay?
I have a little headache, actually.
Oh, no! Ricky!
So the great Gaylen crushed the errant star between his fingers,
and from its ashes rose Akiridion.
-Papa. -He's exactly as I remember.
No touching, or you'll break the memory.
But as Gaylen's power grew, so did his greed.
And only Lady Seklos had the courage to stop Gaylen
by sacrificing her own life core.
And since then, many have sought to steal Gaylen's core, and--
Are you even listening?
Ay, that's embarrassing.
-[claps] -[all scream]
I'm awake! I'm awake.
One secton. Just need to tighten this...
[Aja] Wow, we really could be brats.
Krel, for one delson, will you stop tinkering with your toys?
[Krel] It's not a toy, it's a--
[King] Mechanics are a fine hobby,
but you are a prince and we are discussing our planet's origins.
That hobby saved you and Mama's lives.
Krel, don't!
I built a Daxial Array from these toys!
[Krel gasps]
[Krel] No!
Little brother, what did you do?
-I-- I didn't mean to. -Mechanics are a fine hobby...
-Papa! No! Papa! -...but you are a prince...
-[crashes] -[sighs]
I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking.
He never listened to me. I just--
I know, but we weren't listening to Papa either.
He must've told us that story a thousand times.
Something else happened. For a secton, I thought Papa saw me.
But Mother said that is not possible.
[Mother] It must have been a glitch of the memory projection.
At least now they've forgotten what brats we were.
Oh, no, I'm sure they have plenty more of those memories.
We did learn something, though.
Papa said that many tried to steal the core.
So, if we go to the last time someone tried taking it,
we might discover where Mama and Papa hid it.
Oh, you're back to being brilliant, little brother!
Oh, I do love the smell of formaldehyde in the morning.
[chuckles]
[gasps]
[man speaking on P.A.] Transfer officers, use checkpoint...
Where are they?
According to my geo-positioning system,
we're still several horvaths away from Arcadia.
[thumps]
You could say we haven't made a lot of "head-way."
-Oh! You made a funny, honey. -Thanks.
I was worried that one might go over your head.
Okay, don't press your luck.
Stuart's not answering.
Varvatos forgot-- he has aerobics class on Tuesdays.
Tobias, you must recruit your nana.
To drive us? She's legally blind.
Well, considering my non-saggy appearance,
her ocular deficiency may be for the best.
We must expedite our return.
The king and queen-in-waiting are in danger!
[tires squeal]
[Nana] Now remember, Toby Pie,
you want to keep your hands at 5:00 and 7:00.
Coach Lawrence says they're supposed to be at 10:00 and 2:00.
[tires screech]
[Nana chuckles] Coach Lawrence is a square, dear.
-We're going so slow. -[thumps]
Who knew student driving was such a brutal form of torture?
[Aaarrrgghh!!!] Car worse than gyre.
[tires screech]
[Krel] Ooh!
[blasts whizzing]
Klebtastic! Even in virtual memories people shoot at us!
-[siren blaring] -[announcer] Security breached.
Lock down all sectors.
[Alpha grunting]
[Aja] Those soolians!
The Zeron Brotherhood tried to steal Gaylen's core?
Agh! I was hoping we'd seen the last of them.
Halt, by the order of the Akiridion throne!
[Alpha] There's quite a bounty on this case of yours.
Whatever it is, I hope it was worth dying for.
-No! -Aja!
You can't mess with the memory!
-I'm sorry. I wanted to help Papa. -I think they have that covered.
[rings, scrapes]
Zadra, get the case!
Seklos and Gaylen!
-Mama was a vaunted warrior. -Just like you.
She never told me. Why didn't she tell me?
We need to get this case to safety. It is of the utmost importance.
We'll handle the Zerons, Your Highness.
[Queen grunts] Yah!
[Aja] I've never seen a serrator do this before!
Mama, how did you do that?
[gasps] Mama?
[Queen yells]
Krel, Mama just saw me. I know she did.
But that's impossible.
-Mama, I'm here! -Akiridion-5 is no longer secure.
-We must proceed... -And cross the galaxy.
I have just the ship in mind.
The mothership, fresh off the assembly line.
She's the fastest in the Akiridion fleet.
[Queen] Remind me to thank General Morando for the upgrade.
[Mother] There is a class-D planet in the Hypo Quadrant.
Not just any class-D planet.
[King] Earth.
[faint buzzing]
[Queen] The ancient texts did presage that Gaylen's core
would one day return to the world from whence it came.
Where are we?
"RB and CH"?
[gasps] This is the kissing tree!
Do you know what that means?
Mama and Papa visited the kissing tree, too?
No! They hid Gaylen's core in Arcadia
hundreds of years ago before the city even existed.
-Why didn't Mother tell us? -She probably didn't know.
Our parents would have wiped her memory
to keep the location of Gaylen's core a secret.
[Mother] That seems likely.
And I suspect that in the event of an emergency,
I was programmed to bring you back to this planet.
I always thought it was strange there was only one mudball you could find for us.
No Akiridion has made contact with such life forms in a millennium.
Then we'll be the first. [gasps]
[rumbling, stomping]
Do you think that's who we're supposed to meet?
Whatever it is, it sounds... big.
[man] For the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command.
That sounds familiar.
[blade rings]
Greetings, Your Majesties.
Welcome to Earth.
You've arrived just as the ancient prophecies foretold.
Wait. I thought that was Jim Lake's metal suit.
This is years in the past.
Perhaps this was the Trollhunter before Jim.
You'll have to forgive us.
We've only read about your kind in the ancient texts, and, well...
they failed to mention the horns.
[chuckles] You have nothing to fear from us.
I am Vendel, elder of Heartstone Trollmarket.
And this is Kanjigar the Courageous, our Trollhunter.
Just so I'm clear, you're a Trollhunter,
but you're also a Troll, so does that mean you... hunt yourself?
I am a guardian of creatures, both magical and mortal alike,
which makes me well-suited to protect that,
just as the prophecies of your kind and ours have foreseen.
Gaylen's core holds the power to destroy a universe,
so how can I pass the responsibility onto another?
[Vendel] I can assure you,
as long as our Trollhunter is standing guard,
your relic will be safe in Trollmarket.
[Krel] Trollmarket. That's it!
Now all we need to do is find it.
[Krel] Ugh!
Oh-hh...!
Oh, I think you have much more immediate concerns.
No!
[Mother] Be careful, my royals.
If Morando kills you inside the Totality, you will be lost.
[Krel] You're only saying this now? Mother, wake us up!
No! If we run away,
Morando will destroy Mama and Papa's memories and cores.
Great talk. Glad we took the time to weigh all our options!
[Aja yells]
[Morando] I suppose I should thank you.
[Krel] Argh!
[Aja growls]
If you hadn't fled to this miserable planet...
Yagh-hh!
Aja, no! You might damage a memory!
[grunts]
...I never would have learned Gaylen's core actually existed
or where to find it.
No, no, no, no!
How did Mama do that?
Why settle for being a king
when I could be a god instead?
You're no god, you're no king.
You're a traitor!
[Aja yells]
Yagh-hh!
[laughing]
[snorts, groans]
[grunts]
[Morando] Still trying to save Mama and Papa?
[Aja] No, no, no!
[Morando] When are you going to realize
that they died on Akiridion-5?
[Krel] No!
[grunts]
This cannot be possible.
[grunts]
[grunting]
What's happening?
[Aja] It's Mama and Papa.
They're fighting for us!
[Queen] Val Morando is a traitor to Akiridion-5.
[King] As long as we're together,
-as long as we remain a family... -[Queen] This is an act of high treason!
Mama! Papa!
[Queen] Smile and wave. Smile and wave.
I sparred with my father as he sparred with his father before him.
[Queen's voice echoes] Traitor... traitor...
-[Morando groaning] -Traitor... traitor...
Mama and Papa saved us!
Ugh!
Sweep the ship.
No one leaves until you've confirmed all the royals are dead.
Your Majesties...
never a pleasure.
My royals, I'll protect you!
[thumps]
[thumping]
[grunting]
Huh? Mother, what's going on out there?
[Mother] Morando is attacking the royal cores!
The stasis chamber is failing.
[bangs]
-[Queen] Aja, we love you. -[King] Aja, Krel.
-[Queen] Aja. -[King] Aja, Krel--!
-[Aja gasps] -[King] Aja.
-Aja? -[gasps]
Mama.
[bangs]
I cannot protect them for long.
-[gasps] -My royals, you need to get out of there!
How? There's no way out!
[screaming]
[chuckles]
No one can save you now.
You are extraordinary, Aja.
You could leave this palace,
fly far away from our world, and your destiny would follow you.
[Mother] You need to get out of there.
-Get out of there. -[gasps] Krel, there's a way out!
Run!
[both gasp]
We've gotta get to Mama and Papa.
[Mother] Morando's forces are outside waiting.
-Kleb! -[Aja] I got this!
[Aaarrrgghh!!! growls]
-Don't worry, we'll hold them off. -No one messes with my girlfriend!
Come on, Mama. Help me out.
[yelling]
Most impressive!
[Krel] Varvatos, we need your help!
Mother's hurt and our parents' cores are failing!
[Aja] We need to hurry!
I've learned the location of Gaylen's core.
Send my Omens.
Did you reroute the biometric capacitors?
Of course.
What about unplugging the pods and then plugging them back in?
That isn't the answer to every technical problem, Aja.
No. No. No, no! No, no, no! [bangs]
I don't think there's anything else I can do.
-We're losing them. -[sensor whirrs]
[Aja sighs]
[whines]
[sighs]
[groans]
[Aja sobs]
[Mother] I may have an idea.
I still have some energy reserves.
They are scarce, but they should be enough to power the stasis chamber.
Mother, if you do that, you'll be erased... forever.
And if I don't, the king and queen will die.
This is our only option.
Mother, please, no!
Krel, fix this!
I-- I just... can't.
[sniffles]
I have seen you endure everything during your time here on Earth,
and I've learned so much.
What it means to be family.
What it means to love.
I've watched you truly sacrifice for those that you love.
[sighs]
I will go, and you will remember me.
Isn't that what a mother does?
Mother, I'm scared.
[sobs]
I'm scared, too, but I also feel...
-love, and pride, and peace. -[Aja sobbing]
I gather this will make a good bedtime story one day.
[chuckles]
[sighs] I promise I'll tell it.
I never thought a glorious death could hurt this much.
We-- we'll miss you, Mother.
And I'll miss you, my royals.
[whirring]
[Aja moans]
[Mother screams]
[clattering]
[both gasp]
Mother--!
[system whirring]
[both gasp]
[beeping]
She's... gone.
[Krel] Seklos and Gaylen...
[gasps] she did it.
It's...
My royals.
Mama?
Papa?
