Welcome
to Ophidian Island,

the most perfect place
for a vacation

in all the seas.

Sun, sand, and surf!

What more do you need?

Survival gear. Butterfly net.

Number pencil.
Number pencil.

My guitar-dion.

Just the bare necessities.

And, of course,
my Go-Pack!

After we set up camp, do you girls
want to come hiking with us?

The view from the top of Mount
Ophidia is breathtaking.

Thanks, Abuela,

but we've got other plans.

All right, Isabel!
Your turn.

Just a second!

I'm calculating the best dive
angle for a smooth entry.

Isa, the best way to learn
how to dive is just to dive!

Princess Isabel,
you should know

that besides
being a royal guard,

I'm also a certified lifeguard,

so you have nothing to fear...

Gabe is here.

Aw, a gecko!

Gecko? Aah!

Oh, don't be afraid,
little buddy.

Nobody's going to hurt you.

I'm okay!
Everything's okay!

I-I Just pretend
you didn't see that.

See what? How you nearly
mowed down Isabel

to escape a tiny little lizard?

For the record, I'm not
afraid of anything...

except lizards.
Oh! What was that?!

Oh, hey, there's
a message inside.

I can't believe we found
an actual message in a bottle!

Oh, it looks like a page
from someone's diary.

Listen. "After years
of searching",

at last I have found
the hidden temple.

Inside could be
the greatest treasure

I've ever discovered.

"Antonio Agama."

Antonio Agama?
He's one of my all-time heroes.

He's an Avalorn explorer
who sailed all over the world

having adventures,
finding lost treasures,

until he set off
to search for a priceless statue

called the Golden Gecko.

He was never heard from again.

Until now! Keep reading.

"The legend says those who try"

to take the statue
will be cursed,

but I've come too far
to turn back,

"even if it means..."

Means what?

I don't know.
The ink is smeared.

Hey, there's something
on the back.

It's a map... of this island!

Antonio Agama's here!

He must've thrown the bottle
into the ocean,

but the tides brought it back.

If he tried sending
a message in a bottle,

he must be in trouble
somewhere on this island!

We have to find him.

Wait! First we need
to change and get supplies.

Okay, but let's make it quick.

Ready. Let's go!

But I'm still packing!

We're going on a rescue
mission, not a camping trip.

I know, but it's always good
to be prepared.

This book is all
about Ophidian Island.

Okay, Isa, let's get going.

Whoo!

Come on, Isabel!

Ugh...

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa!

Finally.

I'm awake.
I'm awake.

Come on!

That's Antonio Agama's crest!

It must be his boat!

Come on!

He's not here.

Look at these paw prints.

They're huge!

Huh. They lead outside.

What kind of animal
do you think made them?

Well... they look like
gecko prints.

A gecko?
But geckos are tiny.

I know, it doesn't make sense.

This can't be a gecko.

Then what made these tracks?

I don't know,
but it was in the boat.

Maybe it took Seor Agama.

Elena, wait!
Elena, slow down!

What is it?

We have no idea
what this creature is.

We shouldn't just rush after it.

Did you see that?

See what?

Stay here.

Huh, I guess it was nothing.

Ooh! Run!!!

It's a g-g-gecko!

Gabe, they're just
tiny little liz... ards.

Gabe's right.
We should run!

Go, go, go!

It's a gecko!
It's a gecko!

It's a big, big gecko!

Hey, I think we lost him!

Are you sure?

Isa, stop!

Oh! Oh! Whoa.

Oh! That was close.

Isa!

Booyah.

Isabel?

Get back, you scaly monster!

Quick! Hide in this tent.

Gabe, wait!

Seor Agama's crest.

The gecko saved her.

Yeah, because he
wants to eat her!

Stop! That's Antonio Agama!

He was turned
into a giant gecko!

Uh-hmm.

Well, how do you know that?

I found his journal.

Listen to what Seor Agama wrote.

"The Ophidians warned
that anyone"

who dared to take
the Golden Gecko statue

would fall under a curse
and be turned into a gecko,

but I am certain
that it's just a story

to keep people away.

Tomorrow I will descend
into the temple

"and find the statue."

So, you're Seor Agama?

Mm-hmm.

Is there any way
to undo the curse?

We have to go down there?

Mm-hmm.

It looks dangerous.

You two stay here.
I'll go.

- No way I'm letting you go alone.
- Me neither!

Even if we all go, how are we
supposed to get down there?

It's a sheer drop!

Nyah!

Perfect! We'll lower
ourselves in the basket!

I'll grab a torch.

Great! Let's go!

You coming, Seor Agama?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, right!

He's a gecko.

It looks like we
just pull this rope.

Great! Let's break this curse!

Oh! It's stuck.

Aah! Sorry.

It says, "The Ophidians
worshipped lizards",

especially the gecko,

and built hidden monuments
on their islands

dedicated to the...

"Majesty of the gecko!"

Whoa.

Aah!

Seor Agama, if you
weren't my all-time hero,

I'd really be
freaking out right now.

Uh, Gabe.

Right.

So, which way do we go?

Seor Agama,
you've been here before.

Which way did you go?

Yep. Nyah.

Come on, let's pick up the pace.

Elena, slow down!

The Ophidians booby-trapped
their temples.

If you step in the wrong place
or touch the wrong thing,

we could get trapped...
or worse!

Don't worry, Isa.

Seor Agama made
it through before.

I'm just stepping
where he stepped.

So it'll be fine...

Or not.

Psh, some booby trap.
Didn't even come close!

- Huh?
- Fall back! Fall back!

Elena, I told you to slow down!

How am I supposed to know
where every booby trap is?

Let's just be more careful.

I will, Isa.
Okay, ready to keep moving?

Ready to set off
another booby trap?

Oh, Gabe.

- Aah!
- What's happening?

Nothing good.

It's retracting!

It won't budge!

We need a key.
Isa, what are you doing?

This is an Ophidian
color pattern puzzle.

We need to solve it to find the
key that unlocks the door.

Or we could just try each one.

No, wait!

Uh, it's moving faster.

You pulled the wrong key!

Can you solve the puzzle?

I think so.

Just hurry!

Green, red, blue, blue.
Green, red...

- I got it!
- Great!

It's shifting pairs!
But I better double check.

- What? There's no time to double check!
- Green, red...

Yup, that green one
should be red!

That's the key! Oh, no!

- Oh, no, what?
- It's that one!

That one? But we can't...
Ugh!

What are we gonna do now?

Hey, Isa, can I see
that book? Hmm. Ugh!

Oh, no, no, no.

Okay. Okay.

No, really. Quit it.

But we still can't
open the door.

Why didn't Isabel just grab the
key when she had the chance?

There has to be
another way out of here.

The Ophidians built
secret tunnels

so they could get around

without triggering
their own traps,

but it's too dark
to see anything.

Here.

- Look!
- How do we get down there?

Isabel, you've got some rope
in your Go-Pack, right?

Of course.

Watch out! The floor caved in.

What do we do now?

It's not too far.
We can jump it!

See? Come on!

Isabel.

I better calculate
how far it is first

to make sure I can jump it.

Of course
you can make it! Ugh.

Here, we'll jump together!

Fine. But I still think
I should calc...

Jump!

Oh, no.

Here we go again!

Whoa!

Is everybody okay?

- Uh-huh.
- We're fine.

Isa, why didn't you just jump
the first time I told you?

I wanted to make sure
I could clear it.

Sometimes you just gotta
trust yourself and go for it.

Hey, guys, look!

Whoa!

This must be
the heart of the temple.

What's he
trying to tell us?

There must be
something in there.

- I'll check it out!
- Elena, wait!

The floor might
be booby trapped.

I guess it wasn't.

It's the Golden Gecko statue!

Oh, you can't reach it.

Uh-uh.

Hang on. Unh!

Almost... there!

Got it!

It needs to go
back up on the pedestal?

Yah!

Hey, I know how
to reverse the curse!

Uhh...

Isa, get out of here!

But what if I step
on another booby trap?

- Run!
- Isabel!

Gabe! Uh... oh...

Uh, oh!

We're trapped!

Just great! Everything is crumbling
around here except this wall!

I told you there
could be booby traps!

If you had just taken your time,

you wouldn't have set them off.

Isa, it was an accident.

Well, you wouldn't have
so many accidents

if you weren't always
in a hurry, you know,

leaping before you look.

It's better than stopping

and double-checking
every single little thing.

It's been slowing us
down all day,

and it's the reason
we're stuck in here.

Hmph!

Isa. I didn't mean that.

Yes, you did.

Look, I'm sorry.

It's just we have different
ways of doing things,

and, you know, sometimes
your way's better

and sometimes my way is,

but us arguing isn't
gonna solve anything.

You're right.
I'm sorry, too.

I wish I could walk on walls
like a gecko right about now.

Maybe we can.

Okay, now press your feet
against the wall.

Good. If my calculations
are correct,

all we have to do
is push against each other

with enough force that we can
walk our way up the wall.

Hey, it's working!

Wait!

Whoa-ah!

We have to go at the same pace.

Right. You got it.

Let's try again.

Grab the edge!

Great idea, Isa.

Look!

Uh, guys!

Hold on, Gabe. We've gotta
help Seor Agama first.

Ay-ay, here.

Here you go. Uhh!

Oh!

Ha ha! I am myself again!

Whoa! Aah!

Are you okay?

Yes!

Thank you, Seor Agama.

No, thank you!

That was the second-worst animal

a cursed treasure
ever turned me into.

What was the first?

Brr! You don't want to know.

I say we get out of here
before one of you

sets off another
booby trap. Uhh!

Huh?

You gotta be kidding me!
What now?

The temple is
sealing itself shut.

Hurry, through that tunnel!
It's the only way out!

My Go-Pack!

Keep going! I'll grab it.

Elena!

Keep going! Keep going!

What?

Get ready to jump!

Aah!

Isabel!

Jump!

No! Oh!

Isa!

Gotcha!

Oh! Way to calculate that jump!

I didn't calculate anything!

Sometimes, you just
gotta go for it.

I guess some treasures
aren't meant to be taken.

That's okay.

We already have a treasure

more valuable than any statue.

We sure do.

We rescued Antonio Agama,

the greatest adventurer
in all of Avalor!

What an adventure we had!

You should've come with us

instead of lounging around
all day on the beach.

Hey, I found us some dessert!

Who is this?

Antonio Agama, at your service.

I heard you've been
missing for years.

And I might've stayed missing

if it wasn't for
these three young heroes.

Huh?

Hey, there's something in here.

It's another message!

Let me look at that.

- Hmm, mm-hmm.
- Gabe!

You'll thank me later.

But what if someone else
is in trouble?

Don't worry, princess,

I think I just found
my next adventure!

Ha ha!
