03x04 - Citadel of Shadow

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

Hey, look. The Dungeons and Dragons

ride.

[Music]

Wow. Neat. Give me a break. I don't like

this.

What's happening?

[Applause]

Where are we?

Look out.

[Music]

[Applause]

Fear not, Ranger.

[Music]

Barbarian, magician, thief,

cavalier, and acrobat.

[Music]

Who was that? That was Venger, the force

of evil. I am Dungeon Master, your guide

in the realm of Dungeons and Dragons.

[Music]

[Applause]

Ah, come on, Sheila. You're not still

mad at me, are you? How was I supposed

to know that you were serious?

I mean, when you grabbed the ring and

then did this.

It looked hilarious. What was that? A

rat. Not rats or not again. Come on, get

ready.

A whole army of them.

Guess what?

We're surrounded.

What are we going to do? Something we've

never done before. Run.

Cavaliers first.

[Applause]

[Music]

Huh? All right. Come and get us, you

orcs.

[Music]

Wow. Guess I really scared him, huh?

Oh, brother.

I don't like the looks of this.

Tell Verger we have the children trapped

in the hills of never.

Well, we can't go back that way. Why

aren't they coming after us? Can't blame

them. This place looks like something

out of Better Homes and Gargoyles. Gives

me the shivers. Like those goblins

Vvenger had guarding that ring Dungeon

Master sent us after. And don't forget,

it was I, the courageous cavalier that

saved you and the ring.

You mean cowardly cavalere, don't you?

Huh? If it weren't for me, we wouldn't

even have the ring or the free trip

home. Uh, Eric, dungeon master said the

ring was only the first step towards a

way home. Besides, who let us into that

ambush back there? Hey, nobody's

perfect. Just remember, without me, we

wouldn't have the ring at all. Right,

Sheila? I said I was sorry. I didn't

mean to. Those goblins scared me. A

clear chance to go home. And she nearly

blows it. Huh? Lighten up, Eric. It's

okay, Sheila. You did fine. Don't listen

to Eric, Sheila.

You know he's right. I always mess up.

Hey, what's important is we've got the

ring, right? But if it hadn't been for

me.

He's just having one of his days,

Sheila. Ignore him.

Go away and leave me alone. All of you,

jerk.

[Music]

Somebody help me.

Help.

[Music]

Do you hear that, Uni?

I'd better wake up the others.

Wait a minute. I don't need their help.

Right, Uni?

Come on, Uni. We've got to find her.

Help. I'm in here. See, I told you I

could find her.

[Music]

Uh, hello.

[Music]

Please help me. I'm I'm I'm trapped by

this spell. What can I do?

Reach your hand through and maybe you

can pull me out.

I don't think I can do it. Oh, please

try. I've been here ever so long.

[Music]

You did it. The spell is broken. Ranger,

the children are in the for

[Music]

the spell is broken.

She must be

How can I ever thank you? Hank, can you

see her? No. What did you do to my

sister? Eric, relax. She probably just

went for a walk.

No sign of Sheila or Uni. They just

disappeared. If anything happens to her,

gently, barbarian, dungeon master, your

sister is safe for now. She's okay.

Fine. Just fine. You know, if you hadn't

sent us after that ring, none of this

would have happened. And the dumb thing

won't even get us home. Only when the

ring of the heart is placed within and

above the ring of the mind will a power

be released, which can send you home.

Within and above? What? Why can't you

ever say what you mean? Which ring do we

have? And where will we find the other

ring? You must go where your heart leads

you. But remember, in Shadow there lies

great danger and great rewards.

Aw, that's it. I've had it with riddles.

Hank, he's disappeared again. Poor

little guy just can't talk under

pressure. That's why he leaves. Well,

might as well. Hank, what are you

talking about? Look, the shadows point

that way. And Dungeon Master said that

in shadow lies great danger. And maybe

Sheila. Then what are we waiting for?

Let's go. Hey, over here, guys. I found

something.

[Music]

What the? Look out. Take cover. What's

happening? Where is your ring of power?

I told you. My brother put it in the

Citadel of Shadow. My other friends and

I just found one. A bright blue ring.

Really? Whoa. Look out,

[Music]

Karina. Help.

You've got to be more careful. I need

you.

There it is.

This could be very dangerous, you know.

Don't try and talk me out of it. We're

friends.

I was hoping you'd say that.

[Music]

I suppose we could always go into the

rock garden business.

Abracadabra at Alakazam and give me

something to get us out of this jail.

That stuff won't work without a

detonator. It won't.

[Music]

I could be wrong. Good going, Presto.

This way, everybody.

Hey, dungeon master did say shadow. Look

at that place.

Come on, let's go.

This is it. It is.

[Music]

My ring is inside.

[Music]

No.

[Music]

Karina, what is it? My brother. He's put

a spell on the doors. Nice guy. We've

got to get my ring back, Sheila. I'm

afraid you'll have to do it for me.

[Music]

Please, Sheila.

All right.

[Music]

Go on.

Quiet.

Please, Sheila, hurry. There's not much

time.

Karina, I've got it.

Sheila, hurry.

[Applause]

I'll take my ring.

Thank you. Sure.

Huh?

Karina.

Karina, what's the matter?

Hey, you have served your purpose.

What?

I needed you to break the spell guarding

my ring. Now that I have it, I don't

need you any longer. But I thought we

were friends.

You thought wrong.

Sheila.

What? Sheila, we found you. Are you

okay?

Who's your friend? Her name is Karina.

[Music]

I thought I would find you here. Karina,

you know Venger?

Welcome, brother. He's your brother.

You're his sister.

Well, you've done it, Sheila.

I shall destroy you and your young

friends. Hey, she she's not our friend.

She's Sheila's friend. We got to get out

of here. Somebody think of something.

This way, guys.

[Music]

Hey, Eric. We're going to be freaking

scene back here. Huh? Oh,

I wonder who's winning in there. Where'd

you meet her, Sheila? She was trapped in

a cave. You rescued Venge's sister. She

didn't tell me that part.

[Music]

What about Karina?

What are we waiting for? Come on.

Wow, that was terrific. How did you do

that? I couldn't have done it without

Sheila's help. Huh?

I didn't do anything really.

Nonsense. Without Sheila and Yuni's

help, I would never have gotten my ring

back or been able to overpower my

brother. Oh, you know, we'd make a great

team, Karina. How about it? You care to

join us? Don't touch me. Well, it it was

just a suggestion. I'm sorry. That that

shoulder hurts. Yeah,

apparently. Actually, there is something

you could do for me.

Name it. Anything. If we have it, it's

yours. I'm not so sure about this. The

ring you found. I must have it. Then and

only then will I have absolute power.

No, Karina. Dungeon master.

The ring the children have is not and

never shall be yours. Be satisfied with

the one you already possess. But Dungeon

Master, she got rid of Verger. Only

temporarily. Now go, Karina. Leave these

children alone. Very well. Temporarily.

I thought I was helping her, dungeon

master. I didn't know who she was. I'm

terribly sorry. You did nothing wrong,

my child. You simply followed your

heart, which may lead to great danger or

even greater good. What do you mean?

Many years ago, there was a struggle for

power between Ver and Karina. In the

end, Venger won, imprisoned Karina, and

took her reign. So, what's so bad about

Sheila freeing her? She's evil. I've

seen it. And now because of me, she's

free and has her ring back and her

power. And now she wants our ring, too.

Wait a minute. Let me guess. Karina's

ring is the other ring we need to get

home. Right. What?

I quote, "Only when the ring of the

heart is placed within and above the

ring of the mind will a power be

released which can send us home." Right,

DM? I started memorizing his riddles.

Ring of the heart. Oh no. Karina's ring

has a small heart carved in it. That

means to get home, we need Karina's

ring, too. That is correct. Hey, I

didn't want to go home anyway. I hate

milkshakes, cheeseburgers, pizza. First,

we'll have to find her. To succeed, one

of you will have to be more wrong than

right. But let your heart guide you. For

only the heart can lead you home. He's

gone again. Well, if Karina is Vger's

sister, we might as well start looking

at Avengers Castle. Avengers Castle.

Talk about being more wrong than right.

Eric, this looks like it's going to be

easier than we thought.

I think there's a trail over there. Come

on. I'm sorry, Karina. Their loyalty is

to Verger. They won't fight for you.

Most of them have already left. I should

have expected my brother to surround

himself with fools. Not me. I'll wait

right here. Ow.

[Applause]

Good idea, Eric. You wait here. Besides,

you're already sitting down. If Karina

is in there, anyone have any idea how to

get the ring away from her? Uh, guys, it

sure would help if we knew for sure she

was here. Guys, what is it? Eric, look.

Sheila.

Sorry. I guess that was a little loud,

wasn't it? Thanks, Bobby.

[Music]

You found me. Welcome, Sheila.

You have saved me a great deal of work.

Give me the ring. I don't have it. Hank

does. Very well. We shall see which he'd

prefer, you or the ring.

First, you'll have to catch me, Karina.

You miss me? Not for long.

I sure hope Benjger's other brothers and

sisters are more clever than you. When

I'm through with you, I'll deal with

your friends. How would you know what

friends are? You don't have any. You'll

never escape.

Thank you, Karina. Your magic seems to

be as unreliable as your friendship. No.

Without my ring, I'm defenseless. You

won't mind if I borrow this one friend

to another.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

Going my way, miss. Sure. This is

getting a little boring anyway. Hey, you

two wouldn't have a party and not invite

me, would you?

I got a ring. You did? Well, here's the

other one. Now what? Within and above.

May I see it, Hank? Within and above?

Wait a minute. I think I've got it.

Danger. No. Now, Karina, I will do what

I should have done years ago. Come on,

Sheila. If you got it figured out, do

it. I want to go home. No.

Sheila.

Stop.

Hank, I can't let him destroy her. Oh,

no. Not now. Not when we're so close.

Goodbye, little sister.

What? You shall not help her. What can I

do? Throw the rings at him.

[Music]

[Music]

Stay away from her, Karina.

She She tried to help me.

This is yours, I believe. Thank you.

[Music]

I'm sorry, guys. That's okay. I mean, at

least you didn't lose the ring, right?

Wrong, Cavalere. The ring which could

have freed you has become Avengers

prison and freed Karina of evil. Oh,

well, Karina, you can get us home, can't

you? Without the other ring. No. Oh,

great. I knew it. Goodbye pizza. Goodbye

milkshakes. Goodbye cheeseburgers.

Sauerkraut. Home work. Oh well, I guess

it isn't all bad news. Anything else

within my power, I grant you, Sheila. I

owe you my life. All I want is your

friendship, Karina. What? That's all?

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Welcome home, Karina.

Well, I lost a chance to get home, but

gained a friend. Great trade.

What's the matter, Eric? Need a hand?

Need a friend?

[Music]

All right. All right. I need a friend

now. Get me out of here. Okay. Come on.

[Music]
