- [air whirring] - [Susan] Yeah!
[Susan and Snivel grunting]
[Snivel growling]
Yeah.
So, boss, what do you think?
Gonna go through with the NeverWitch's plan
and lure the Dream Chasers here?
[Snivel chomping]
[sighs] I don't have much choice.
I won't jeopardize things with my daughter,
not when we're starting to trust each other.
[lightning crackling]
- [arrow piercing] - [thunder crashing]
I've missed this.
[thunder crashing]
[opening theme music playing]
[siren wailing]
[Nova] It's a mess out there!
Dreamers are freaking out.
[sirens continue]
What's taking so long?
We're getting hammered with Candy Realm incursions here!
- [Coop exclaiming] - [books thudding]
- [vortex whirring] - [books flapping]
Working on it, Coop!
- [sword slicing] - [Mateo grunting]
Fear the Logan-ator!
[Izzie grunting]
We gotta wrap this up.
I don't wanna be late to meet my dad.
Relax. He'll wait for you.
[sharp gasp]
[heavy footsteps]
Besides, you don't wanna miss all the fun.
[Logan yelling]
[intense music]
Ooh, Dream Chasers gonna get it.
- [thud] - Ow!
A few corrupted gummy bears
are no match for my daughter.
[bears thudding]
[Zoey gasping]
- [key winding] - [Zoey grunting]
[Mateo grunting]
A little help, please.
I got you, broseph!
Bunchu-bunga!
- [marshmallows colliding] - Aaahhh!
[Zoey grunting]
- Huh. Pretty good. - Not bad.
- [Snivel chomping] - [Susan striking]
But for our purposes,
we're gonna need the Dream Chasers
- a bit more distracted. - [crossbow buzzes]
[Night Hunter grunting]
[thunder crashing]
- [Zoey gasping] - [lightning crackling]
[peppermints whirring]
Aah!
[Mateo grunting]
You got a date with the NeverWitch.
[creature neighing]
[Mateo grunting]
- [birds cawing] - [hooves clopping]
About time you got here.
Good to see you too, NeverWitch.
[Mateo grunting]
- [Mateo exclaiming] - [wolf growling]
He's just what I need to storm your old stomping grounds
and take out its guardian!
What do you want with Z-Blob?
- Leave him alone! - Silence!
[Mateo shouting]
If that's all.
[chuckles] For now.
Oh, the fun we're going to have.
[plane whooshing]
[Mr. Oz grunting]
Oh, late to the party, my dudes.
Well, cream my corn.
Y'all handled things just fine without us.
Don't sound so surprised.
That fight was epic.
We had each other's backs…
the whole time.
Except for when your brother jetted off
to see Z without saying a word.
And all his lectures to me about being a team player.
[scoffs]
Mateo left again? Ugh, for the love of…
Maybe seeing Z-Blob will help him
feel ready for the next trial.
You know, find his inspiration.
Wouldn't it be dope if all of you made the final three?
Shee-yoot, that'd sure put a bee in ol' Roycey's bonnet.
Back to Castle Nocturnia, everyone.
We need you fed and rested before the next trial.
- [Zoey whistling] - [Zian plopping]
Yeah, have fun with that.
- I got, um… - [bird of prey shrieks]
an errand to run.
What? Where is she…
Does everyone just do what they want around here?
Yep, it's part of our charm.
I'm sure Mateo and Zoey will join us in time.
[groans] Ugh, you stink
worse than Sneak!
- [wolf snarling] - [Mateo gasping]
Ah-ah! I wouldn't provoke him if I were you.
He's been known to eat Dream Chasers that displease him.
[Zian cawing]
[gentle music]
Whew, he's still there.
[Zian growling]
- Shh! - Hey.
[Beau chuckles]
- Hello. - Hey!
Why'd you suggest meeting at Pillows Peak?
Oh, no way!
You board?
Oh, well, your dad has been known
to shred a few mountains in his day.
Race you to the bottom?
[chortling] Oh, you're on!
[upbeat music]
- [Beau exclaiming] - [Zian growls]
No! No!
New Year's resolution.
Oh, where is that memory?
Ugh!
[intense music]
If I can get to the Grim Realm, I can save Z!
[groans]
[growling]
Ah, here you are.
[birds cawing]
[groans]
- Wha…? - Ready?
This won't hurt… much. [laughs]
Ah!
What are you doing?
Arrogance, selfishness, anger.
I will harness your worst tendencies to fuel my spell.
[growling]
Pinch of pain, trouble and toil.
Add some hate, let it boil.
Make it simmer, make it seethe.
Soon the rage will be unsheathed!
What?
- Stop him! - [growling]
Aah!
Yes!
Aah!
No!
Aah!
[grunts]
What is this place?
[distant shrieking]
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
[laughing] Sweet moves!
Okay, boomer.
Ah!
What the?
Aren't you little old for this kind of thing?
What are you doing?
What if my daughter sees you?
The Dream Chaser escaped.
My ravens can't find him,
but the closest location is the Beast Realm.
Make sure he doesn't escape and ruin my plans.
Or I could share your secret identity
with your precious daughter.
- That won't be necessary. - [Zoey] Dad!
Are you okay?
[stammers] I just wiped out, but I'm okay!
Now, how about I show you where the Dream Realm griffons
like Zian come from?
Oh, seriously?
You have to! [whistles]
A part of me, a part of you.
Arise my pawn, evil and true!
[snarling]
[cackling]
[Mad-teo barks]
Snarl all you want.
I'm the new top dog around here.
Greetings, witch.
Loved that soup. Spicy!
I can't get past the Night Bureau's defenses,
but you can worm your way inside Castle Nocturnia.
Infiltrate those Dream Chasers and carry out my orders.
Walk in the park!
I will awe those dream scouts
in ways they can't even imagine.
Those dreaming fools won't know what's hit them
until it's too late. [chuckles]
Here's what you will do.
[Mr. Oz] It's very important we prove ourselves
in tonight's trial.
And by prove yourselves, Ozzie means stick it to Royce.
Brah, we got this thing on lock.
Oy, it's not you two I'm concerned about.
Don't worry, Mr. Oz. Mateo will be ready.
I bet he's getting psyched up right now.
[laughing]
- [Zian cawing] - [Mateo laughing]
Huh. That sort of sounds like…
- [Mateo laughing] - Mateo?
Zoey!
Boy, am I glad you found me.
Wait, how did you know I was here?
- And who's the weird dude? - [Zian snarls]
- Huh? - He's not weird.
He's my dad. We've been hanging out.
It's actually going pretty well.
He's an aware dreamer like us.
Hey, Dad, this is my friend, Mateo.
- Great to meet you, Mateo. - I'm Beau.
That looked like you were having a "vine" time there.
[laughs] Sorry, dad jokes. It's a nervous habit.
Hey, what are you even doing there?
I thought you went to see Z-Blob.
And shouldn't you be getting ready for the trial?
I got nabbed by the Night Hunter.
What? I will end him.
Never mind him.
That NeverWitch is going to the Grim Realm to hurt Z-Blob,
and I lost my hourglass somewhere over there.
Got it. Find your hourglass, get to the Grim Realm,
stop that witch.
Zian, you search from the skies.
Hoot if you see anything.
You in?
The fate of an entire Dream Realm rests in our hands.
Okay. I've… [chuckles]
I might not have understood half of what you just said,
but whatever I can do to help, I will.
[intense music]
Um, are they like friends now?
[gurgling]
So close.
Seventeen.
I still can't believe Royce gave you Zoey's spot
in the third trial.
You and I are going to compete again.
Yeah, I know!
I feel a bit bad about that to be honest.
That guy is such a stickler for the rules.
There just have to be seven.
He must've seen my epic potential.
[grunting]
[both laughing]
Dude, was your brother always so dreamy?
- Mateo? - Dreamy?
- [intense music] - [all swooning]
Smooth!
Ew, that's my brother. Gross!
Dude, who are you?
Your brother, sister.
No, and I'm loving this new you!
How'd you get over your Z-Blob funk?
Oh, this and that. No biggie.
Well, whatever you did, it's good to have you back, buddy.
So, Beau, mind if I call you Beau?
Why'd you wait so long to get in touch with Zoey?
Ah, I should have done it a long time ago.
I was ashamed of some things in my past,
but it recently dawned on me
that I didn't want any more time to go by
without knowing my daughter.
- What is wrong with you? - What do you mean?
Why are you interrogating my dad?
I just told you how happy I am that he's back in my life.
Don't push him like that.
I wasn't pushing him.
Then why are you acting so suspicious?
You don't know him that well.
What's he been doing all this time?
What if he disappears on you again?
I don't want you to get hurt.
You don't know him, Teo.
He's back. He would never hurt me.
Enchanté.
[laughing]
Dude, Mateo's pencil spear's back to normal!
Wouldn't it be great if he wins the last trial?
[laughing]
Yeah, great.
[clapping]
Wasteful, but impressive.
[intense music]
[pizza swirls]
[music lowers]
[plays rock music]
- Loud, but I love it. - [Logan screams]
[music continues]
[groans] Seriously?
[intense music]
Time for the last trial.
May the best Dream Chaser win.
Oh, I'm about to.
[Royce] Attention, Night Bureau.
It's the moment you've been waiting for: our final trial.
Save that Dreamer!
The top three competitors who save the most dreamers
will comprise our NeverWitch Special Task Force.
Directly after the trial,
they will face off in a dream-crafting battle royale
to determine the Task Force's leader.
[voice echoes]
[onlookers cheering]
I still don't get why
we can't just take on the NeverWitch together.
Royce is obsessed with this
"return to the good ol' days" nonsense.
Always has been.
Attention, Dream Chasers.
We have just detected a substantial attack
by rogue nightmare creatures in Bizarro Brooklyn.
A perfect opportunity to test your mettle in the field.
[Royce grunts]
There it is on that hill!
Oh, that's not a hill.
[loud stomping]
Whoa, whoa!
[Zoey] What's happening?
[Mateo] Run!
[growling]
Back to the Waking World for you two!
[laughing] That's two for me, turkey!
[grunts]
[machines beeping]
Don't worry, I got you, Mrs. C!
[cries out]
Aaahhh!
Get out of my way, runt!
- Wow, Mateo has become a real… - [revving]
[tires screeching]
[Astrid laughing]
Hi, Astrid!
[Night Terror screams]
Bad Night Terror!
Logan, get your head in the game.
It doesn't count if I save you.
[panting]
How are we gonna get your hourglass now?
I'll distract the beetle
while you two get up there and grab it.
Come and get me, you prehistoric pest!
[whistles]
Hold on, Dad!
[Zian cawing]
Ah!
[Zoey grunts]
- Teo, catch! - [both yell]
[grunting]
- Whoa! - [Beau exclaims]
That was intense.
You've got your hourglass.
Now we can go save Z.
[whistles]
Twenty-seven, 28, 29 dreamers saved! Hoo-wee!
It's neck and neck between all the contestants out there!
Boy, howdy! Takashi is on fire!
Isabel, Mateo, Logan!
Only a few seconds left.
[grunting]
á♪Thank you very much, sister.
- What? - [beeping]
[laughing]
The final trial is complete!
Our top three Dream Chasers are…
Astrid, Takashi,
and Mateo!
Where is she?
I was sure the NeverWitch would be here by now.
[Nightmare King] Have you come to end me?
What are you talking about?
We are here to save the Grim Realm from the NeverWitch!
Why would the NeverWitch bother with the Grim Realm?
Z-Blob wasn't the target.
The NeverWitch said she was going after
the Night Hunter's old stomping grounds.
But she wasn't talking about the Grim Realm.
The Night Hunter used to be a Dream Chaser!
He certainly was.
That means the NeverWitch is after Castle Nocturnia!
We have to go now!
Zoey, a witch sounds dangerous.
Let someone else deal with her.
I can't, Dad. Our friends are in danger.
I'm begging you. Please don't go.
It'll be okay. Trust me.
What if it's too late to save them?
We have to try!
[sighs]
You were right to be suspicious of me.
- Ooh, this is good. - What's going on?
I'm sorry, honey, but I can't let you leave.
You may get hurt.
You can't stop me.
Actually, I can.
Aah!
No!
[whistles]
How could you do this to me?
I hate the Night Hunter! I hate you!
I'm sorry. I've been so happy these past few days.
But if you fall into the NeverWitch's trap,
I'll never get to see you again.
So you'll lock us up instead?
At least you'll be safe.
Here, take this back.
I don't want anything that reminds me of you.
Representing Brooklyn, baby!
- Ha ha ha! - [crowd cheering]
Logan, my brother's acting super weird!
Yeah, he's just found his groove.
[cheering]
No, Logan, you don't get it.
He sabotaged me to make the Task Force!
Rammed me and Bunchu on purpose!
[Logan] What? He would never do that.
[Izzie] Exactly.
You have done well.
The time has come to put my plan into action.
Finally! I'm aching for some malice!
Pierce the heart of the castle's guardian,
the one they call Phil.
Then, we'll rip the Dream World of all Dream Chasers
in one single strike.
[intense music]
