[Water drips,
footsteps scuff lightly]

[Loud thump nearby]

Hi-yah!

[Gasps]

[Rocks crumble]

Ah!
This way, pups!

There she is!

Wow!

Heropotamus:
queen cleo, the dancing queen!

Badou: thumpin'!
Munroe: awesome!

[Metallic clink,
prospero laughs]

Thanks for leading me here,
boyos!

Prospero!

Prospero:
this knick-knack will fetch me
a merry mess of money!

Heropotamus:
you're not getting away,
prospero!

♪♪

Ungh!
[Boulders and rocks crash]

[Gasps]

Heropotamus!

[Heropotamus grunts]

Munroe:
hoo-hah!

Looking for the way out?

Hi-yah!

Hi-yah!

Hoo! Hee! Hah!

Ooh-waah!

[Laughing]

Prospero:
do you really think those moves
are going to stop me?

Waaaaah!

Not that this
isn't fun...

Ooh-waah!

Agghhhhh! Oof!

But I really
must be going!

[Prospero laughs meanly]

Whoaaa!

Ooh!

[Gasps]

Great job!

You two saved
our little dancing queen!

[Sighs dejectedly]

Prospero dodged
all my quill-fu moves!

It's like he could tell
what I was gonna do!

Babar:
congratulations!

This figurine makes
a wonderful addition

To our collection.

Couldn't have done it
without the help

Of these two
jungle jacks!

What's next, heropotamus?

I'm on the trail

Of the enormous emerald
eye-of-storm summit!

I'll let you know
when I'm close.

Heroes, ho!

[Babar and badou laugh]

Why the droopy quills,
munroe?

I wasn't much use
on our last adventure.

Prospero was able to dodge

All of munroe's
best quill-fu moves.

What kind of quill-fu master
am i,

If I can't protect my prince?

You could get
some new moves.

How did you learn
the ones you know now?

[Mumbles]
comic books.

What was that, munroe?

Comic books.

I learned my moves
from comic books, okay?

Munroe,
you need a teacher.

What about asking jabbsi?

Who's jabbsi?

Only the greatest,
bravest,

Most famous porcupine
hero ever!

Do you know jabbsi,
your majesty?

Oh, we keep in touch.

Who do you think
taught me this?

Hai! Hai!

Hah! Hai!

Agh!

Hai!

Hey... Hai!

Hai! Hai!

Badou and munroe:
whoa!

Papi,
how can we find jabbsi?

He lives on the far side
of the j-bourhood.

He's spent years there

Searching for
the needle noggin.

That's an ancient
porcupine helmet!

According to the stories,

It can only be worn

By the smartest,
bravest hero.

So if we find the trail
for the needle noggin,

Maybe we'll find jabbsi.

Jabbsi left a trunk here
before he set off.

There's an old map in it,

But I was never able
to figure it out.

Ooooh...

Hee...

Ooooohm!

What are you doing?

Using my "fu"
to feel for the trunk.

Heee...

Ooooohm...

Here it is!
Badou: hey! My old toys!

Ahhh-choo!

Way to go,
sneeze-fu master!

You found it!

Is this the needle noggin?

Yeah.

Looks like bugs have been
nibbling on it.

The other pages seem okay.

Look, here's the map!

Wow!

But there's no path
marked on it!

How are we supposed
to know where to go?

Hmm! Agh!

[Laughing]

Hey! Those holes aren't
bug nibbles!

They're porcupine
quill holes!

Look,
they make an arrow!

Wow!

Ouch!

Hold it out
in front of the map.

Thumpin'!

This is where we start
our search!

Prospero:
these two led us
to a treasure once!

They just might
do it again!

This is it.

But why would jabbsi have
started his search here?

Munroe:
hooo... Heee...

Ooooohm...

Eeeee...

Nothing!

[Rock clatters]
agghhh!

Munroe!

Are you okay?

Where did this hole
come from?

It's not a hole, 'bu.

It's a burrow!

You better get out of here.

I won't be able to protect you
if the owner is still around!

Don't worry.

I think I know
who dug this burrow.

Look -
porcupine quills!

Jabbsi!

This is what the arrow
on the map pointed to.

That jabbsi is pretty sharp.

We can travel underground

And miss all
the jungle dangers.

[Laughs meanly]

[Clattering]

Badou:
wow!

I think we found
jabbsi's home!

Master jabbsi?

Master jabbsi!

Is this quill-fu stuff?

Munroe:
kicker sticks!

Hi-yaah!
Wa-tiki-tah!

And balance poles!

Dodge bonkers!

Think fast, 'bu!

Ho-hah!

Look over here!

Another map.

Munroe:
I bet this is where
the needle noggin is!

Prospero:
[laughs meanly]

This needle noggin?

Sounds like it's worth
a merry mess of money!

It was you in the burrow!

Run, 'bu!
Hai-aggghhhhh!

[Laughs]
huh?

Grrr!

Hah!

Ooh!

Oof!

[Laughing]

You're as useless
as your spiky friend!

Grrr!

Master jabbsi!

Please!
Help my friend!

Badou:
whoa!

Me help him?
He's your friend.

You help him.

Prospero:
now hand over that map!

But prospero knows
every move I make!

Surprise yourself,
and you'll surprise him.

You could run away
and stop annoying me, boyo!

That'd surprise me!

Run away!

Munroe?

Thanks, boyo!

[Giggles]

Agh!

Ouch!

Give me that map!

Grrr!

Oh...

Hi-yah!

Grrr!

Ahhhh!

Oof!

Grrrr!

Aggghhhh! Aggghhhh!

Agghhh!

Badou and monroe:
yay! Woo-hoo!

Look out!
Jabbsi!

Grrr!

Waah-chaaa!

Oh... Poo.

Waaaaaggghhhhhh!

Thank you,
prince badou.

Don't look so shocked.

I'd recognize babar's
grandson anywhere.

And this must be munroe!

Wow!
You've heard of us?

I've heard about
your adventures.

Not bad, I guess.

Now what do you want?

Master, I need you to teach me
the real ways of quill-fu.

Hmm...

Whoa!

Yah! Yah!

Agh! Agghhhh!

Jabbsi:
I guess you've got
a bit of skill.

Quill-fu isn't just about
kicking and jumping

And "hi-yah-ing,"
you know.

It's about sharpening
your body and your mind.

I'm ready!

Come along then.

Let's get started.

Hello, old friend.

Master jabbsi.

How is your new student?

Ooh... Wah!
Yah! Yah! Yah!

Ooh-waaah!

Hi-yaaah!

Ho-hah!

Hi-yah!

Waaah!

Not bad.

oof!

Again.

Monroe:
ah! Yah! Yah!

He's good,
isn't he, papi?

Better than I was,
badou.

Better than I was too
at that age.

Maybe munroe will be the one
to find the needle noggin.

Maybe he will,
badou.

Waaaaah! Yah! Yah! Waaaaah!

Hi-yaah! Hoo-hah!

Oooh-waaah!

Look at me, 'bu.

With jabbsi training me -
hai-yah! -

I'll be a quill-fu master
in no time.

My papi says
it's a real honour

That master jabbsi
agreed to teach you!

Now stop "fu"-ling around,

You're gonna be late!

Ooh-wah!

Munroe:
yah! Yah! Yah!

Hoo-hah!

More speed,
less showing off!

Hi-yah!

[Giggles, pleased]

Woo-hoo!
That was tusk-tastic!

Jabbsi:
your balance has improved.

Balance is everything.

So I really am
a quill-fu master!

Hi-yah!

Agghhhh! Oof!

[Laughs and snorts]
not yet.

You must learn to think
as fast as you move.

Consider what I've said,
munroe.

We'll continue your training
this afternoon.

But I am a master!

I'm faster, stronger...

I'm quill-fu-ier!

Huh.

Badou:
but jabbsi said
it's not all about

Being faster and stronger,
it's about-

Wait, I know!

A-ha!

Badou:
the needle noggin?

Munroe:
the stories say only
the bravest, smartest hero

Can wear it, right?

So finding it will prove
that I'm a quill-fu master!

Oooh-waaah!

I don't know,
munroe.

Not even master jabbsi
has been able

To find the needle noggin.

Jabbsi was looking for it
around here.

That's where I'll start!

You can't go alone!

This looks like the place.

Hi-yah!

Badou:
if master jabbsi knew the way
to the needle noggin,

I wonder why he never found it.

That might be why -
look!

Badou:
there's no way through.

Munroe:
sure there is!

If I move this stone,

The big rock will roll
out of the way.

Yeah, but I think
that big rock-

Hi-yah!

Badou:
might be holding up
the ceiling!

Waaaaah!

[Rocks crash and tumble]

[Both coughing]

There's no way back now!

Um...yeah.

Sorry about that, 'bu,
but don't worry.

My fu will see us through!

[Moaning sound]

Monroe:
oof!

Badou: thumpin'!
Munroe: whoa!

Munroe:
'bu! Over there!

Munroe:
wow!

Woo-hoo!
There it is, bu!

I found it!

The needle noggin!

Munroe:
yay! Woo-hoo!

Badou:
how do we get to it?

Munroe:
whoa!

[Lava splashes,
munroe gasps]

Quill-fu time!

Hi-yah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Ho-hah! Ouch!
Oh! Ee! Ow!

Ooh! Oof!

Ouch! Ow! Hot!

Wrap it in one of those banners!

Ah! Ooh! Ah!

Waaah!

Uh, 'bu?

Hang on!

More speed,
less showing off!

Aggghhhhh!
Whaa! Oof!

Waaggghhhhh! Oof!

Badou!
Are you okay?

Ow! Nits and gnats!

I sprained my ankle.
I can't walk!

Sorry, 'bu.

Badou:
that's okay,

It's just gonna make it
harder for us

To get out of these caves.

Munroe:
good thing you're with
a quill-fu master.

My training's
made me strong.

I'll carry you out.

Hmm!

Unnggghhhh!

Uh, just let me warm up.

Huh! Hah! Huh!
Ooh-waaah!

Huh? What'cha doing?

The wind is blowing in
from those openings up there.

If we can find
where it's blowing out,

We can get out of here!
Jump on!

But my quill-fu strength!
Agghhhhh!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Woo-hoo!
Good thinking, 'bu!

There's sunlight up ahead!

Badou and munroe:
aaggghhhhhhh!

Oof!

There goes our ride.

And you can't walk.

Don't worry,
I'm on it!

Ungh! Ungh!

Munroe, wait!

We have to make sure
we're going the right way.

The sun is in the west -
that way -

And over there
is eagle peak,

Which means
we're about... Here.

There's a river thataway,
and an old ranger station.

If we can get there,
we can call for help.

The quill-fu express
is on the way!

Unnngghhh! Ungh!

Unnnggghhh!

Whoa!

Badou:
I can't walk,
but I sure can swing!

Come on, munroe,
grab a vine!

Munroe:
good thinking, badou!

Jabbsi:
the cave has been blocked
by a rockfall.

Babar:
the boys were here though -
look.

I feared as much
when I saw the map gone.

You were right to come
and get me.

I'll have the royal guard
start clearing the cave-in.

The boys may have found
a different way out, though.

We'd best begin a search.

Badou:
nits and gnats!
There's nobody here!

Munroe:
what are we going to do now?

Badou:
it'll start getting dark soon.

People are going to be
worried about us.

They might already
be looking.

We have to signal them
somehow.

Not even your thunderclap
can be heard this far out.

[Gasps] munroe,
you're the best!

Bring me that barrel.

[Inhales deeply and trumpets]

[Trumpet bellows all around]

Badou and munroe:
[wood clatters]
whoa!

Let's hope
someone heard that.

[Plane whirs]

Reporting in,
your high-high-highness.

No sign of the boys
between warbler's reach

And mucklechuckle marsh.

Royal guard:
king babar,
we heard a thunderclap

Coming from the direction
of the old ranger station.

Thank you, captain.
Let's go, avery!

[Plane rumbles]

My quill-fu didn't help us
much today, did it?

You found
the needle noggin.

But it didn't make me
a quill-fu master.

It's my fault we're in
all this trouble.

[Plane rumbles]

[Gasps]
munroe, hear that?

That's wing-a-dinger's
engine!

We're saved!

But, badou,
where are they going to land?

The only place without trees
is the river.

That's a tusk-tastic idea!

But wing-a-dinger can't land
on the river.

Not yet!
Grab those barrel hoops!

[Splashing]

[Plane rumbling]

There they are!
Can you bring us in?

Avery o'dare:
we can take a closer look,
but there's no place to land.

What are those?

Floats -
the boys have made floats

So you can land
on the river.

Badou:
oh no! Now they can't land
on water or on land!

Munroe:
what are we gonna do, 'bu?

Not we, you.

You've got to catch that float
and hold it steady.

Only a quill-fu master

Has that kind of strength
and speed.

Ooh-waaah!

Badou:
go for it, munroe!

Avery o'dare:
that float is pulling us
out of balance!

Babar:
whoa!

Munroe:
think, munroe.

The higher you can raise
the float,

The easier it'll be
to catch it.

Whoa!

Waaah!

Balance is everything.

[Plane rumbles]

Yay!

Woo-hoo!
Munroe, you did it!

That was tusk-tastic!

[Giggles]

Babar:
anybody like a ride?

[Badou and munroe laugh]

Jabbsi:
the needle noggin.

It's been a long time
since I've seen it.

You knew where it was?

I found it in
those whistling caves years ago,

But I knew in my heart
it was not for me.

Another hero would come along
and claim it.

Stories say the needle noggin
should only be worn

By the bravest,
smartest hero.

Badou was the bravest
and smartest.

His thinking got us
out of trouble

Again and again.

I still have lots
to learn.

Then we should continue
your training.

We start again tomorrow.

Master jabbsi,
I can't take this.

You're the real
quill-fu master.

I'll hold onto it
for the day

That munroe is ready
to wear it.

I bet that won't
take long.

Good lad.
