What? Holy moly. It's beautiful!
Once, I stood on this very same balcony with my mother and had--
Whoa! Is that a seagull but also a bug?
Almost the same reaction.
I am a descendant of a long line of newts who made a sacred vow to care for this land.
The trees, the plants, the animals-- All are under our care.
Lady Olivia, you newts took me in when I landed here.
Fixed me up, cared for me.
I promise to do my best and look after this place as well!
We'll be counting on you, Master Marcy.
Lady Olivia, you have been summoned by the King.
Oh, hey. The King summoned you too? Do you know what this is about?
No, and it's been weeks since the Plantars and Anne disappeared.
And we haven't heard a peep from him since.
I wonder what's keeping him.
Please, my lord. Things are progressing as fast as they--
Yes, I know, but the device hasn't even been tested.
Surely we should try it on someone else first?
As you wish.
Well, that was freaky.
Ah! You two. Come in, come in.
Good news! You're both promoted.
Olivia, you will now oversee the construction of our refineries.
It's time to sap this pitiful mud bowl of all its remaining resources.
And Yunan, we're gonna need frogs to work in these factories,
so go round up some villagers.
And if anyone resists...
...give them a stern talking to.
Oh. Not too bad.
Just kidding! Terminate them!
All right now, get to it! I have business to attend to.
That does it!
I made a sacred vow to protect this land,
and I cannot continue to stand idly by while King Andrias destroys it.
Lady Olivia.
If you're going to talk treason...
I insist that you do it in private!
You're dang right he's gone too far.
And based on whatever we just witnessed, Andrias is losing it.
I for one, will not serve a mad king.
Agreed. But we can't take him down alone.
We need someone clever, someone who understands strategy,
someone like Marcy Wu.
The human? Absolutely not.
In case you haven't noticed, they're all scheming backstabbers.
I trust Marcy.
Besides she's the only one who's ever defeated King Andrias in flipwart.
If anyone can outthink him, it's her.
I'm plenty smart!
Whoa! Did you see that?
I nearly took my head off.
Okay, maybe we do need Marcy. Glad to hear it.
But she's being held under the castle. No one is allowed down there.
There's even a rumor she's being guarded by a horrible monster.
A monster? Don't tell me the great General Yunan
is scared of some ridiculous rumors.
I see what you're doing.
And it's working. Lead the way, milady.
We'll never get past them.
Well, not with that attitude we won't.
What?
- And that's how it's done. - Will you put me down already?
Ooh, ominous. After you, milady.
Yoink!
- Remember-- - I know, I know. Get the human and get out.
She better be worth it.
Whoa.
You knew this was down here?
Sort of. Even I was strictly forbidden to come here.
But I did sneak down a few times as a girl.
What the--
Don't worry! It's harmless.
Take it. It's a friendship offering.
Oh. Why, thank you. I think.
More kooky creatures? What is this place?
I think it's where our ancestors kept all their otherworldly prisoners.
Delightful.
This is it.
No going back now.
There she is!
Sashy? Anne?
She's out of it.
Wake up, human!
Wake up, I say!
Yunan! Gentle! Be gentle!
Marcy, it's Olivia and General Yunan.
There's no time to explain, we have to get out of here!
Okey dokey. Lead the way, Lady Olivia. Captain Yoo-hoo.
I'm okay.
What the heck is going on?
What in newt's name...
Whoa. We're outside already?
It can't be...
Mother?
Is that you?
Olivia. The sky! The trees! How could you let this happen?
I'm sorry, Mother. I did everything I could.
Well...
it wasn't enough!
What is this witchcraft?
What?
Oh. It's a projection.
You know, like, uh, VR.
Vvvvrrrr?
It's not real, you goof.
The room's changing again!
Just try not to freak out!
Oh, please. Nothing scares the great General Yunan!
Scourge of the Sand Wars! Defeater of...
Oh, no.
What? It's just a cute, little--
Grubhog!
You're afraid of this little cutie?
I had a bad experience, okay?
When I was a little girl, one of those monsters nearly took my arm off.
No. No. No!
- Wait, come back! It's not real! It's--
Whoa. Whoa!
Oh, no. Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no.
How could you, Mar Mar? You betrayed us.
No! I know what I did was super dumb. I'm so sorry.
It's too late. We want nothing to do with you. Ever again.
No. Please.
- Stay back! Stay--
- Back?
These eyes.
These eyes are making the nightmare, guys!
Eyes?
That must be where all of these things are being projected from!
Guys, take out the eyes!
Right!
You'll pay for using my mother's likeness!
What the--
Woo! Here's the last one!
Marcy! Here! Catch!
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Woo-hoo! We did it!
I'm not normally one for teamwork,
but, uh, good job out there everyone! Very nice hustle!
You goof.
We make a good team, huh? Now let's get out of here!
Sorry. I might need help.
All right, up and at 'em. Here we go--
Leaving so soon? But we have so much to discuss.
But how did you... Simple. We've been watching you the whole time.
What the heck is that?
Marcy!
Behold! Our ultimate creation.
A collection of Amphibia's greatest minds, preserved for all eternity.
What are you doing, Andrias? Stop it, you maniac!
Studying the Mossman improved our medical technology,
But it wasn't until we met the Shadowfish that we truly learned to conquer death,
and thus, the core was born.
[grunts, strains] Let me go!
I wish I could. But my lord craves a host.
And it wanted the best, the smartest.
The only one who could beat me at flipwart.
Honestly, Marcy? I like you. Always have.
I begged the core to consider an alternative host, but alas.
What? What is this? Huh?
Marcy! No!
The time has finally come
for the core to lead us to our destiny.
But what destiny you ask?
Well, I suppose I should just let it speak for itself.
Why, hello there.
