Cha-chung!
-Oh no.
Here. Here, bebé.
The curse is upon us!
-El Monstruo Blanco!
We are cursed!
Let the jungle decide its fate.
-Run! Before the curse takes us all!
Ah…
-Ah!
Ah!
El Monstruo Blanco!
-Put that childish thing away, mija.
Si, Papa.
My bravest warriors,
the truest of you all shall become my personal guard
and wield a magical golden bow.
What do you think, my queen?
Yes, yes!
-Huh?
Archer, come forward!
-Your skills are magnificent.
Put your weapons down.
The legend of El Monstruo Blanco is true.
I would like to get a better view of my new bodyguard.
-Ooh.
Very interesting.
As pale as Lady Micte herself.
Whoa.
Bring the greatest prize of all
-for my greatest warriors.
Oh, yes, a gift from the Tecas,
-a golden magic bow…
…for my new favorite pet.
You filthy animal!
-You dare strike your king?
You! You are a curse!
Brace yourself, Fabiola.
-You insolent, vile creature.
-You have cursed us all, Monstruo Blanco!
Burn it all down!
Papa, don't do this. Por favor.
-Run!
You don't understand. I'm-- I am--
One more word and the cat gets it.
-Oh, oh!
You, muévete.
Hmm.
-Leave the cat here.
My leg is no bueno.
-You want us to chop it off? -I'm healed!
Oh yeah. This doesn't hurt at all.
Oh. Oh!
That poor little girl must be terrified of her evil grandpa.
That's the Jungle Lands' king, and that is his daughter, the Widow Queen.
She looks so sweet.
Yeah? No. They call her that because all the men around her die.
Dang!
-Beloved Widow Queen of the Jungle Lands… -Whoa.
…we found these drifters trying to sneak into our kingdom.
Drifters? I am--
Now why don't you let Rico handle this? I'm great with little kids.
Listen here, baby girl.
Now, we need to talk boring grown-up business.
So why don't you tell your mamita and papito that we're here,
and then go sleepy nappy siesta time?
Oy no.
Guards, feed him to the hyenas.
Yikes! Estefan, help!
-Terebro!
Ah, yeah, um, which way to the hyenas?
Beloved Queen of the Jungle Lands,
I humbly apologize for not giving advance notice of our visit.
-Ow! -And for my insolent partner.
See? I'm insolent until proven guilty.
It is me, Princess Maya of the Tecas.
Stand down, guards.
Now that's what I thought! It was about to get real crazy in here.
-I'm loco! -Princess, please state your business.
My father was wrong about the Teca prophecy.
-But I have figured out its true meaning.
The prophecy I saw was of four warriors,
-one from each kingdom. -Hm.
I'm the Little Eagle from Teca, and my friend, Rico,
is the Mighty Rooster Wizard
-from Luna Island.
-Yeah.
We are here seeking the True Skull Warrior from the Jungle Lands,
Hm? No.
-Would you like some tea? -Tea, Your Majesty?
It's tea time for me and Fabiola.
Make believe tea party time? You can't be serious.
-Would you prefer the hyenas? -I'll take my tea with two lumps.
-Ah!
Princess Maya,
the Jungle Lands weep for your brothers and the brave warriors of Teca.
You do? Thank you, Your Majesty.
I'm surprised our Jungle Lands were included in your prophecy.
Our fathers only worked with their neighboring kingdoms
when it benefited their own self-interest.
Yes, I know.
Kings could often be very shortsighted.
Hmm.
Perhaps this is a chance to right our fathers' wrongs.
Perhaps.
Mmm!
This té de manzanilla really hits the spot.
Your cup is empty, wizard.
Yep. Much, much better, Your Majesty.
Aha.
About our quest…
I will help you.
The greatest warrior in the Jungle Lands is
El Monstruo Blanco.
El Monstruo Blanco?
An unfortunate name
given to her by those who feared her outward appearance.
Oh.
Thanks to my father, she now lives as a recluse
in a burnt tree.
No daughter of this kingdom
should be treated as she was, royal or not.
After my father died, I sent guards to invite her back.
But she made it very clear they were not welcome.
-We must speak with her. -Must we though?
I cannot guarantee your safety.
We'll take our chances.
If you manage to meet with this archer, please tell her
that I am very sorry for what we did to her and all of those poor animals.
Your Majesty, you have my word.
Whoa!
We must be getting closer to Monstruo Blanco.
-Chiapa, trust me,
-there's nothing to be afraid of.
-Ah!
-Chiapa, no! -This is gonna keep happening with him.
-Look!
-I'm gonna die! Ah!
Thanks, Estefan!
Rico, come on. That's definitely El Monstruo Blanco.
Okay. This is what we're gonna do. I'll be the decoy.
You climb into the burnt tree, tackle her, and take away her bow with Estefan.
-That's your plan? -You got a better one?
Yeah. It's exactly like yours,
-except we run away!
All right, fearless leader, go decoy away!
She's exactly who I need.
-I can't believe this plan is working.
-Mmm.
Mmm.
-Ah!
It's okay. It's okay. We just wanna talk.
You're a miracle.
-Ooh. Oh! Huevos rancheros!
Ah!
I think we made a mistake.
-Ah!
Great plan.
Shh.
-Before you kill us,
the Widow Queen told us
you're the best warrior in all the Jungle Lands.
We need you to come with us to destroy the Divine Gate.
She cannot be the True Skull Warrior.
-Girl can't even speak.
Why do you wanna destroy the gate? If you do that, we'll never meet the gods.
Exactly!
Um, fun fact, Lady Micte, the goddess of death, is her mother.
Yeah, she got some mama issues.
We ain't gonna talk into that, but by the way, I'm Rico.
-Oh!
Your mother is the goddess of death?
Yes.
My father said this belonged to her.
Talk before I change my mind, human.
The half-breed, where is she?
She managed to escape, my lord.
-And Zatz, where is he? -Huh?
Zatz and I are no longer together.
No longer together?
-That's not what she asked you, girl. -I-- I don't know where he is, my lord.
-Hmm. Very well. Hura! Can! -Your Majesty.
We are at your service.
Capture the half-breed. Bring her to me alive.
Oh, kill her companions.
-Consider it done.
My lord, my lord, please, allow me to join them and atone for my failure.
No, no, that won't be necessary, mija.
Please, Lord Mictlan, I beg you.
-You will regret this, you--
Adios, Zatz.
-Ay, ay, ay.
Meaning you're the True Skull Warrior from the prophecy.
So will you join our quest?
Only if you promise to introduce me to the goddess of death.
I promise.
I don't trust you.
-You smell like a liar. -I-- I--
I-- I have no reason to lie.
This'll be an uneasy alliance. I may decide to kill you later.
You're supposed to say that part inside your head.
-I'll prepare for the quest. -Hey, I'll help.
-Move and die, wizard.
Okay. But then again, this boulder is pretty comfy.
Soon, Lady Micte. I shall be with you soon.
Ugh. She sure is taking her time.
-Well, well, well, look who's back. -Where have you been?
-You were on lookout duty? -Oh yeah, looking out for yourself.
-Hey.
I am ready to quest.
Wow!
-You look spectacular.
Oh… To die by your side would be such a heavenly way to die.
Skull Warrior, what is your name?
Hm?
Ooh. Ah, do you have a nickname?
Most humans call me El Monstruo Blanco.
Um… Hmm. Okay-- You know-- Look, maybe, maybe Monsty for short.
But I have always preferred to be called Chimi.
-Yeah, that'll work. -Welcome to the prophecy, Chimi.
And you swear to introduce me to the goddess of death?
This I swear.
-Ah!
Maya and the Two are ready!
As soon as we reach the Golden Mountains, we must find the Great Puma Warrior.
Then the goddess of death?
Yes, then the goddess of death.
-Wh-- Why do you wanna meet her so bad? -We're not doing this.
-Okay. Why not? -Because I hate you.
It usually takes people hours to hate me.
You said I was-- I was a miracle.
-Huh? -Nothing. Shut up, weirdo.
Oh, I like her.
Whatever your reason for wanting to meet the goddess of death,
you should know that she ruined my life.
She gave me up when I was born.
My father and his wife, my true mother,
they raised me. It was awful.
-So, you're a princess…
…you live in a palace, you have two mothers,
one who's a queen and one who's a goddess?
-She has a point. -But my mother is a monstruo.
Huh?
-Ooh! -I'm s-- I didn't mean--
Enough.
Before you start complaining about what you don't have,
be thankful for what you do have.
It's getting late. And I'm hungry. I'm gonna find some food, princesa.
Huh. I think I really like her.
Yeah, me too. I'll go help.
Take Chiapa and stay together. I'll go find wood for the campfire.
-Onward!
-Good evening, Princess Maya.
I'm sorry I scared you. Here. You dropped this.
What do you want?
I was never going to present you to Lord Mictlan.
I was going to take you home to meet my father.
You were? Why?
So he could sacrifice you and overthrow the god of war.
Why is everyone being so brutally honest with me today?
No. We no longer want to sacrifice you. I believe you're right about the prophecy.
I believe you can defeat Lord Mictlan.
With our help, of course.
-How did you-- -Oh yes.
I know your real plan is to kill that monster.
-Join forces with us. -Join forces?
First you wanna kill me, then you send your girlfriend after me.
Hmm. Ex-- Ex-girlfriend. Hmm.
-We broke up. -You did?
I mean, whatever. I'll never join forces with the likes of you.
-Why not? -I can't trust you.
You're right. Trust must be earned.
-R-- Right. -You all must stay vigilant.
Lord Mictlan has sent two more gods after you.
Uh-ba-ba-ba-ba. I do not need your help, you teller of lies.
-You serpent tongue. You bat hombre.
Be well, Princess Maya.
-I'll see you soon.
What-- You--
Show-off.
The Golden Mountains Kingdom should be on that side of the valley.
Fun fact, this has been the site of countless brutal battles.
I don't think you get how fun facts work.
-I am Hura, the god of storms!
Rah!
-I don't know what he said. -He said he's Can, the god of wind.
Oh.
-Zatz was telling the truth. Ah! -Acat was a mere child.
It is time you face some real gods.
Ah!
-Hey there.
-Chiapa! You can't keep running away!
Humans.
Let's take them for a spin, bro.
Twin wind of terror!
-Ah!
Run away faster, Chiapa!
Back so soon, mocosos?
-Chiapa, do not run.
-You can't keep running away!
Ah… I like that.
Maybe we should sacrifice her for ourselves.
What? I guess she speaks jaguar.
Change of plan, mocosos.
We are going to kill the princesa.
-Talk is cheap, you brutes!
-Ah!
-I don't know what you told him. -Welcome back, Chiapa.
-Ah, humans… …so cute.
And so stupid.
-We have to work together!
-Ah!
I fight alone!
How dare you?
-You're going down.
Chimi!
Boulder,
tree, pavo!
-We are the prophecy!
Hold on, Estefan!
-Ah!
Rico!
I'll kill the girl. Bro, you kill the boy.
Oh, El Monstruo Blanco.
Let's get rid of it first.
Help her, Rico.
Magic shield, protéjala. Shelter her y cuídala.
Huh?
Yes, yes!
Yes, keep going, hermano.
-He's a wizard, bro.
I hate wizards.
Nobody messes with mi familia.
And nobody messes with mine!
-Huh?
-Ah!
Get him, Chiapa!
They fight for me.
You can't keep this up, half-breed.
-Rico, don't stop.
-Die, wizard!
-Rico!
Playtime is over, mocosos.
-Oh!
-Leave me. You've done enough.
Save yourselves.
-What?!
-Huh?
Almost there.
-I'm not dead? -Good job, wizard.
We do this together!
-Hey, mocosos,
it takes two to make things go right.
It takes two to make it out of sight!
God twin powers activate!
It's the end of the line for all of you chamacos.
There's no getting out now, half-breed.
I have a plan.
How many arrows do you have left?
One.
-Then we make it count.
-Tighten it up, bro.
I'm not letting you go, Chimi!
-We got you, Maya.
Throw your weapon up as hard as you can.
-What? -Trust me.
Whatever you're trying to do, do it now.
-Ooh!
-Ah!
-Rico?
Maya?
Chiapa!
-Thank you, my beau-- Whoa! -We should go.
On a soulful walk?
-To the Golden Mountains Kingdom. -Ah, yeah.
-Hm.
-Follow me. -She's walking in the wrong direction.
-Again.
That was a test. You both passed.
Mm-hmm.
-Just say it. You need us. -Say it.
-The truth is I need you guys.
-Okay. Don't make this weird. -Too late.
-Maya and the Two are ready!
-Yeah!
One more warrior to go.
-Hola!
Barbarian King?
Barbarian princesa!
So this is the Golden Mountains Kingdom palace.
-Where is everybody?
-Snake! I hate snakes!
-Careful. Do not touch anything.
-Rico.
I'm sorry!
-I didn't mean to! Oh!
Ah!
-Whoa!
Whoa!
-Whoa!
