Shuriki?

[Shuriki gasps]
What does it say?

How we can defeat
Princess Elena.

I have to stop Shuriki,

once and forever.

Is this really necessary?

You know the drill, Elena.

Until Shuriki's found,

we're keeping you
under strict protection.

But I'm late for
the Grand Council meeting.

[groans]
At ease, men.

Thanks for understand...

[groans]

Is it true Shuriki

had Fiero and the
Delgados by her side?

- What did she say?
- How are we going to find her?

I... don't... know!

What... was... that?

[grunts]

I said, I don't know.

But I plan to personally scour
every inch of the kingdom

until I find Shuriki.

Absolutely not. The Royal
Guards will track down Shuriki.

And Chief Zephyr has Jaquin
Scouts out looking for her.

That's all great.
But, I can't just sit here and do nothing.

Nothing?
You will be ruling.

Then I rule
I go after Shuriki.

It's the right thing to do.

All those in favor of Elena
not hunting for Shuriki

and not leaving the castle
until Shuriki is caught,

please raise your hands.

Hold on. This wasn't about me
being stuck in the castle.

It is now.

It's for your own safety,
mijita.

[Migs]
Good morning, Princess!

Hey, Migs.
Y-You brought the kids!

Zoom! Estrella!
Whoa, easy there, m1ngo.

We came to invite you
to Luna's festivities.

Her what?

Her birthday party
at the Mooncliff.

Can you come?
Can you come?

Oh, I'd love to,

but I can't leave the castle
until Shuriki's found.

Well, don't worry. Chief Zephyr has
patrols searching day and night.

They'll find that sor-cer-or-cess
wherever she is!

Whoa-oa-oa!

And we'll keep a look out, too.

- That's right.
- Yeah!

[Elena sighs]
You're all so brave!

You're like my little
future Guardians.

At your service, Princesa!

- [squeak]
- Ow!

I think that should be
our "Future Guardian" salute.

- [All] Salute!
- [Migs] All right.

We should head back.

Wings up, little ones!

Bye-bye, Princesa.

- See ya, see ya, see ya!
- Take it peasy!

[sighs]

Mateo! Ha ha! Hi!

Did you figure out what was
on those pages Fiero stole?

- Uh-huh.
- This is the last spell in the book.

The pages Fiero took
were blank.

So, he didn't get away
with any spells, or...?

That's right. We got lucky.

And I've got more good news!

I finally figured out
how to shapeshift!

[gasps]
Into what?

You'll see.

Whoa!
You look like a real Jaquin!

Watch this!

I can fly!

[Elena chuckles]
Hey, can I try it?

Sprinkle away.

Whoa! Woo!

- Four legs, four legs.
- Whoa-oa-oa! Whoa-oa!

I did that
the first time, too.

Wow!
You'd never know it was me!

I could fly right
out of the castle,

and nobody would think twice.

[gasps]
This is just what I needed!

Now I can go search for Shuriki.

I'll find Chief Zephyr
at Luna's party

and convince him to let me
join the search.

There is no way Gabe's gonna
let you out of the palace.

He won't even know I'm going!

- Bye!
- [groans] Wait!

Elena, stop!

Mateo, I owe it to my parents
to find Shuriki.

You understand that, right?

I do. So, I'll go with you.

Thank you.

- Ooh! Oops.
- [Gabe] Elena!

Is everything o...
[gasps]

Who are you, and how'd
you get in the castle?

Gabe! It's me, Elena!

Mateo made
a shapeshifting potion.

Ha! You expect me
to believe that?

[gasps]
It really is you!

- Told you.
- Ooh, my tail!

And now that I can
shapeshift like this,

I can go to the Mooncliff
for Luna's party.

Nice try.
But you can't go.

Remember the Council ruling?

Elena the Crown Princess
has to stay in the castle.

- Oh-ho-ho! Whoa!
- But the Council never

said anything about Elena
the Jaquin.

You know what they meant.

Shuriki is out there.
It's too dangerous.

- [crashing sounds]
- But even if Shuriki saw me,

she wouldn't know it was me.

- [Mateo] Whoa-oa-oa!
- You didn't.

- Come with us!
- [Mateo] Whoa! Whoa!

You can protect me
if anything goes wrong.

- Got it!
- [sighs]

Okay. But we go straight there
and straight back.

Deal?

Deal!

Now, let's shake
a tail feather!

- Get it?
- [laughs]

- [groans]
- Yeah, unfortunately.

Huh?

- [Elena] Whoo-hoo!
- [Mateo] This is amazing!

[both laughing and cheering]

All right. We have to keep
a tight formation.

Uh, Gabe. You're kind of
cramping my wingspan.

I'm not letting you
out of my sight.

Even if you are a Jaquin.

[sighs]

Hey, Mateo!
Let's buzz the harbor.

Hey, wait up!

When we reach the Mooncliff,
I need you to distract Gabe.

I'll do my best.

[screams]
Boat!

Go sideways!

Sideways?
How do I... Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh! Uhh!

[grunts]
Uhh.

Hey, saw your tumble.

Yeah, looks like you could use
a helping paw, amiga.

- Uh, thanks.
- [Gabe grunting]

[Mateo]
Whoo! Whoa! Whoa!

[Mateo and Gabe
grunting and panting]

[Both]
Unh!

You guys new to flying
or something?

Us? No! No! We've been
flying our whole lives.

You know, 'cause...
we're Jaquins.

[chuckles] Relax there, amigo.
I was just teasing.

I am Cruz.

I'm... uh... um... Luisa.
[laughs nervously]

I... Francisco! is my name.

And I'm... Esteban?

Like... the royal family?

[laughs] Yeah, our parents
are big, big fans.

Um, hm, well,
we should get going.

We're-We're late for a party
at the Mooncliff.

You're going
to Luna's birthday bash?

Well, that's where
I'm headed, too!

Come on, then, friends.
Let's get flappin'.

[Elena]
There's Chief Zephyr.

Those must be his Scouts!

[cheering]

Ha-ha! Oh, nice pass!

- [Player] Whoo-hoo! Ha-ha!
- Here! Pass it to the birthday girl!

[All] Whoa! -[Cruz] Oh, I
see you've still got some

swing in that wing, Luna!

Cruz! You made it!

Time out, guys.
Cruz is here.

Estrella, Zoom, m1ngo...
Let me introduce you to Cruz.

Chief Zephyr is training him
to be our next leader.

[All]
Whoa!

Are we talkin'
or are we playin'?

Come on, Cruz.
You're on my team.

All right!
You can't lose with Cruz!

Then we need a third player.

Take Francisco!
He's great at airball.

It's skyball.

What are you doing?

- I don't know how to play!
- I'm sure you'll pick it up.

Go on!
It looks like fun!

Fine. One game,
and then we leave.

All right, I'm gonna go
talk to Chief Zephyr.

Hello, Chief Zephyr.

Uh, sir.

I'm here to join the search
for Shuriki. Sir.

Thank you, but only my Scouts are
trained for that kind of mission.

- But I...
- Now, if you will excuse me.

[cheering]

Heads up!

[grunts]
Yeah!

[cheering]

Ho-ho! You're good, Francisco!

I think I've got
some competition.

Hey, watch it!

Oh! Chief Zephyr.
Heh, long time, no see.

That is only because you haven't
been showing up to training.

Come with me.

Have a ball, birthday girl!

Thank you, Cruz.

Yike!

- How'd it go?
- Not well.

Chief Zephyr said
I can't join the search.

Look at that!

The Scouts came back,

and Chief Zephyr
is leaving with Cruz.

Maybe they're the next shift
looking for Shuriki.

- Let's follow 'em.
- Wait up!

It's too narrow!

Just tilt sideways.
Like this.

[Elena panting]

[screams]

I can't!

Where'd they go?

[Elena]
There!

Let's get a closer look.

Now, Cruz, tell me
what this is.

Pfft, that's easy, Chief.

It's an old hunk of stone.

[sighs]
This is Commander's Rock.

[Chief Zephyr] It's the most important
link to our Jaquin history.

Which you would know,
if you ever came to training.

[groans]

[Chief Zephyr]
I know you're wondering

how this monument came to be.

- Mmm, not really.
- So, let me tell you.

Years ago, the old royal wizard,
Alacazar,

built Commander's Rock,
and he put a spell on it

to protect the priceless
knowledge inside.

My grandfather made that?

[Chief Zephyr]
Coyo mote tozaza.

[sniffs]

Look at all that
hidden writing!

I guess they're not looking
for Shuriki after all.


But don't you want
to check out

the priceless knowledge?

I want to catch Shuriki.

[Chief Zephyr]
These walls tell our stories.

Of good decisions leaders made
to guide us to victory,

and bad decisions
that led to defeat.

Chief? Excuse me,
sorry to jump in.

I'm just curious... what does this
history lesson have to do with me?

To be a successful leader,
you must learn from past leaders.

I'm not so interested
in past leaders.

They had their turn. I'd
rather focus on the future.

My future.

Only a fool thinks
he has nothing to learn

from those
who came before him.

Are you calling me
a fool?

I chose you to be
the next Chief

because I saw
great potential in you.

But you do not listen.
You show no interest in learning.

You are worse than a fool!
You are a disappointment.

Disappointment?! Me?!
I'm awesome.

Some say
I'd make a better Chief than you.

[growls aggressively]

Cruz, you are no longer
the next in line.

You will never lead
the Avalor Jaquins.

Oh, you're wrong, Chief.
I will lead.

And you can stay here with
the rest of these fossils.

[growls]

[grunts]
Hey!

Coyo mote tozaza!

[roars]
What are you doing?!

Leaving the past behind.

Who's the fool now?

[Elena] Look, another
shift's heading out.

Let's follow them.

[Jaquins grunting]

- Hey, where were you guys?
- Uh...

Gather 'round, everyone!

It is time for
the bestowing of the gifts.

Oh! Gift time!

[Migs]
Hey, where's Chief Zephyr?

He always hands out
the first one.

[murmuring] - He's not here?
- Where's Chief Zephyr?


Cruz, do you know
where Chief Zephyr is?

Me? Why would I know?

Uh... because we just
saw you with him?

In the jungle.

By that big rock.

[Cruz]
Hey, everyone!

Chief Zephyr is missing.

[all gasp]

And... and last I saw him,

he was flying off
with these strangers!

What?!

He's lying!

Cruz would never lie to us.
He's our amigo!

And I've never seen
either of you before.

I don't remember inviting
y'all to my party, either.

That's because
we're not really Jaquins.

It's me, Princess Elena!
And this is Mateo.

And I'm Gabe!

Hm. And I'm the queen of
Anoki-berry-ville.

Lock 'em up until they're ready to tell
us what they did with Chief Zephyr.

What?! No!

- Hey, get your wings off me!
- Whoa!

We didn't do anything!

- [grunts]
- Great.

Now we're trapped,
Zephyr's missing,

and Shuriki is still
on the loose.

Shuriki?
What's this got to do with her?

Elena...

The real reason I came
to the Mooncliff...

was to join the Scouts
looking for Shuriki.

I owe it to my family
to find her!

I owe it to my kingdom.

You were under order
of the Grand Council!

I should've never
let you out of the castle.

I'm sorry.
I had to try!

Can you discuss this later?

Right now, we need to figure
out a way out of here.

[m1ngo] Hut, two, three, four.
Oof! Two, three, four.

- [m1ngo] Hut, two, three, four.
- I may know a way out.

- Hey! m1ngo, Zoom, Estrella!
- [m1ngo] Hut, two, three, four. Oof!

It's me, Princess Elena!

No, you're not!
You're a bad Jaquin

who did something
to Chief Zephyr!

Yeah!

I'm Elena! I... I just took
a shapeshifting potion

that turned me
into a Jaquin.

I'll prove it!
[clears throat]

Future Guardians, salute!

Hey, only Princess Elena
knew our salute.

Maybe it is her!

It has to be!

Can you let us
out of here?

Anything for our princesa!

Kids, get away
from the... [gasps]

[Migs]
How did they escape?!

We let them go!

You what?!

Which way did they go?

[Gabe] We have to find
Chief Zephyr.

I think I know where he is.

Follow me!

Uh, guys? Look!

You two, keep going!
I'll take care of Cruz.

Let's play some skyball.

[grunts]

[breathes heavily]

Ha, ha! Think you can stop Cruz?

[grunts]

[groans]

Uh-oh!
[grunts]

[growls]

Hurry, Elena!

What was it Zephyr said?

[Elena]
Uh... Coyo mote tozaza!

- [grunts]
- Ha! Nice try, amiga.

[roars]

Zephyr!
[all] Zephyr?!

- [growls]
- [gasps]

Traitor!
[roars]

Cruz did this?

They were telling
the truth.

- [roars]
- [grunts]

Stop him!

We're on it!
Come on!

[evil chuckle]

[grunts]

[grunts]
Get him, Elena!

[Elena gasps]
Shortcut!

I can cut him off!

[exhales]
Just gotta tilt sideways...

Yes!

- [Elena] Gotcha!
- Uhh!

[grunting]

Adiós, amiga.

[Chief Zephyr roars]

You're not going
anywhere, amigo.

[Jaquins growling]

Uh...

You can't keep me
locked up in here!

Especially once
my sister finds out.

Hut, two, three, four.
Hut, two, three, four.

Thanks for
believing me, guys.

You future Guardians
are always here for you!

- [all] Salute!
- [squeak] Ow!

Princess Elena,

I owe you our gratitude
for capturing Cruz.

But I think it would be best
if you leave the Jaquin-ing to us.

Of course, Chief Zephyr.

You lied to me.

And you disobeyed
the Council.

Next time,
I will tell them.

[sighs]
You're right.

I won't do it again.

But how am I supposed
to stop Shuriki

if I'm stuck in the palace?

Huh. Hey, Mateo.
Maybe these pages

at the back of the Codex
weren't blank.

What if there was
another chapter,

but the Maruvians made
the writing invisible?

Like Commander's Rock!

Illuminate!

What is that?

[Mateo]
"The Scepter of Night!"

The Scepter of Night?

"As powerful
as the Scepter of Light,

"the Scepter of Night
channels the darkest magic of..."

That's it. The rest of
the page was ripped out.

That's why Fiero
stole the pages.

He wanted to learn
about the Scepter of Night!

- And where to find it.
- How do you know?

Look behind you.

- [both gasp]
- Whoa!

What is all that?

A hidden message
from my grandfather!

What does it say?

My grandfather discovered
the secret chapter

in the Codex,
but wanted to make sure

the Scepter of Night
didn't fall into the wrong hands.

He solved the riddle
in the Codex

that led to the Scepter...

and broke it
into three pieces.

Then he moved the other two.

When you find one piece,
a riddle leads to the next.

Ohh. Sorry.

I-I was using the Scepter
too long.

So Shuriki and Fiero must be
heading for the first piece!

Which means we know exactly
where to find them.

As soon as we solve
the first riddle.

I'm ready when you are.

Illuminate!
