Nexo Knights (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Fright Knight - full transcript

Searching through the dark forests of the realm, Jestro finds "The Book of Fear." It's pretty scary. But he feeds it to the book of Book of Monsters, and he uses it to call forth the Whipperella, a monster that can induce fear. One-by-one she uses her knightmarish power on the knights and they experience their own worst fears. Clay fears not living up to the Knights' Code. Lance fears being a nobody. Macy fears never being a knight and Axl fears having no food. Aaron must take the lead because he's fearless; he does everything with reckless abandon. It's not until he leads the group out of the forest - as they fight off the Whipperella - that they we find out Aaron's true fear - the fear of peace and quiet and no more challenges or high energy escapades.

Here's the latest
from the Knighton News Network.

While the king showed off
his wonderful realm

Jestro grabbed
the Book of Chaos

and created chaos.

Once again it was up
to the Nexo Knights

to come to the rescue
in their rolling Fortrex.

And Merlok 2.0's
Nexo Power

ended Jestro's campaign
of chaos.

I'm Herb Herbertson,
and this is Nexo Knights.

I sense a great power

near the rough-and-tumble town
of Spittoon.

CLAY: Spittoon is the toughest village
in the Realm.

We're gonna have to make
an entrance that impresses them.

[FANFARE BLARES]

Greetings,
citizens of Spittoon.



We are
the Knights of the Fortrex,

sworn protectors
of the Realm.

[ALL SCREAM]

[YAWNING]
See?

You scared them
with your boringness.

The toughest village
in the Realm?

Times change.
You gotta change with them.

Lance, what are you doing?

Working on our entrance,
Clay-man.

You only get one chance to make
a first impression, you know.

Yes, I do.

Which is why I hoped,
as per our Knights' Code,

we would pre...
AARON: No fear!

Whoo!

[IMITATING GUITAR SOLO]

Whoo!

[ALL SCREAMING]
Yeah!

Axl?

[GRUNTING]

Boar-ing?

[SCREAMS]

Boar-ing.

[CHUCKLES]

Yum. Heh.

Why are they all so afraid
of everything?

They should be spitting
and grunting

and scratching themselves
if memory serves.

[ALL SCREAM]
Huh?

Something really
is weird here.

Does anybody remember
our plan

to make a respectful,
dignified entrance?

I do, Clay.
Watch this.

And this.

And this.

All I can say is--
Oh no.

[GIGGLING]

Huh?

[GRUNTS]

[STRAINS]

Huh?

[♪♪♪]

Whoa!

Yeah! Now that was awesome.

What's Lance talking about?

You totally know
how to make an entrance.

I wasn't making an entrance.
[GASPS]

I was saving this young
damsel in distress.

Now run along,
little girl.

Oh! My baby! My baby!

My baby!

ALL:
Uh...

[LAUGHS]

[ALL SCREAM]

What is going on here?

Sorcery is going on here.

[BURPS]
[SOBS AND WHIMPERS]

So much for a tough town.

Whoa, some of these readings
are off the chart.

What's going on?

MERLOK 2.0:
As I suspected.

A Book of Magic
in the Dark Woods.

Very powerful,
very scary.

And we need to get this evil
book away from the village,

or Spittoon will be
lost to fear forever.

Watch, it, clown-boy.

You gotta
be very careful.

You don't want to touch
the Book of Fear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
spooky book.

All I care about is that we beat
those goody knights to it.

Now, just open wide
and down the hatch.

[BURPS AND GIGGLES]

Let's see what kind of monsters
this gets us.

Aah!

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

Boo.
[SCREAMS]

Hey, scaredy-pants,

don't worry about
Whipperella here.

As long as her whips
don't touch you, you'll be fine.

[SCREAMS AND GASPS]

Ah.

BOOK OF MONSTERS:
Ain't she terrifying?

Yeah, she's plenty scary.

Oh, not to me, obviously,

but I can see how
she would fill others with fear.

Like those pesky Knights.

Finally, they will know
real fear.

Don't you think we should wait
till morning

to look for this book?
You heard Merlok.

We've got to get that thing
before Jestro does.

[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

We'll have to head in
on foot.

This forest is too dense.

[GRUNTS AND SCREAMS]

MACY:
Clay?

ALL:
Huh?

[GROANING]

Whoa, what happened?

Feels like something
stung me.

[LAUGHS]

Huh?

Help!

Fear not, ma'am.

I am Clay Moorington,
Knight.

I shall assist you
in this dark wood.

Will you just hurry up
and save me already?

This damsel is in some
serious distress!

CLAY:
Fear not, ma'am.

[LAUGHS]
Oh, yeah.

She'll find his fears.

[CHUCKLES]

Clay?

[SNIFFING]

Time to eat yet?

[LAUGHS]
Dude,

you just had
a third breakfast.

But I heard something
over here.

Nah, he totally hucked it
thataway.

Perhaps we should
split up?

In the Dark Woods?

What? Are you scared?

No, of course, not.

I'm just saying
we should, uh...

split up and find Clay.

Huh?

Great idea.
Wish I'd thought of it.

[SCREAMING]

Hurry, brave knight!

My captor wearies.
[SNICKERS]

For justice.

For honor.

For a damsel!

There, milady.

The monster has...
uh, gotten away?

Help!

[GRUNTS]

[GROWLS]

Oh!

[SNIFFS]

Mmm.

Something smells good.

So much food.

[ALL CHATTER]
[SCREAMS]

[CRIES]

No!

[SOBS]

What a big fraidy-cat.

[PANTING]
[CHUCKLES]

Ow!

Hey, bugs, don't bite me.
I'm a Richmond.

[HIGH-PITCHED CHIRPING]

[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]

Hey. Vile monster.

I shall set these noble
Squirerazzis free.

Free to take my picture

for their celebrity
photo spreads, that is.

Action. Glamour.

Boy next door.

Cover shot.

Hey, you chased off Burnsie,

the biggest celebrity
in the land.

What?

He's a monster.

I just rescued you.

And I'm a celebrity.

[DEVICE BEEPS]
Uh-oh. Poser alert.

Maybe we can catch
Burnsie.

Come on!

Hold on. Perhaps you missed
this look.

I call it “Superstar.”

SQUIRERAZZI:
Poser alert.

Hey, come back.

I'll give you some shots
from my good side.

Hmm.

[SINISTER LAUGH]

Aah! Hey!

[GROANS]

[ROARS]

Don't move, monster.

Or what?

You gonna hit me
with your little flowers?

Ooh!

Maybe you'll blind me
with your shiny dress.

[GASPS]

Hey. where's my mace?

And my knight's helmet?

A knight?

[LAUGHS]
Oh, please.

You're no knight.

You're just some pretty little
princess out picking flowers.

Why you...

A sparkly dress?

[SCREAMS]
[LAUGHS]

[BOTH SNICKERING]

[PANTING]

Gotcha!

What is with you?

I thought you were
a brave and noble knight.

[GRUNTS]

This cannot be happening.

[PANTING]

Huh?

Whoa. Macy.
What happened to you?

Is it that bad?

Well, uh, no.

I've just never
seen you look so...

Pathetic.
Elegant.

Now you're just mocking me.

No, it actually
looks good.

I mean, at least you haven't
completely failed as a knight.

Like me.

I can't even rescue
a damsel in distress.

Let me help.

I'm as tough and fearless
as ever.

Whoa!

Stupid dress.

Finally.

Lunch!

Huh?

Come on.

Just one picture.

I'm Lance Richmond.

Everyone loves me.

Sorry. Never heard of you.

[LOUD CHOMPING]
What?

[GRUNTS]

No!

No!

Aah!

[SOBBING]

[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK]

[PANTING]

Really? Empty plates
rate pictures?

Empty plates?

[SOBS]

[WHISTLES]

Ha!

Hey, what gives?

[GRUNTS]

This is what gives.

And now, I will fill you
with fear!

Does my huge, frightening self
scare you, tiny knight?

Whoa.

That is sick!
Do it again. Do it again.

What? You're not
frightened?

No way.
That looks awesome.

Well, then, perhaps you have
a fear of heights.

Whoa!

Wha-hoo!

Whoo! Wow!

Mad props for the ride,
Mullet Mary.

It's a dreadlock.

And let's see how brave
you are

around my creepy crawlies.

[INSECTS CHATTERING]

I am so totally...

bugging out!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, oh, that is so
off the shield, yo.

So, what else you got,
Chili Pepper Pam?

What? That is not
my name either.

Oh, oh, whatevs,
Hot Links Heidi.

I am Whipperella!

[GROWLS]

With one snap from my whip,

I can find your deepest,
darkest fear

and bring it to life.

No way, No-whip-latte.

Yes way.

And it's Whipperella.

I have crushed
all your knight friends.

Not with weapons, but with their
own worst nightmares.

Fear of hunger.

The greatest meal,
always just out of reach.

Fear of obscurity.

A spoiled boy in a world that
doesn't even care he exists.

Fear of being a princess.

Who shall never become
a true knight.

Fear of failing.

Not just the damsel in distress,

but your beloved
Knights' Code as well.

Oh, good times,
right, Wimp-erella?

Stop that!

And tell me why my fear magic
had no effect on you?

I got no sense
of any fear whatsoever.

[GRUNTS]

That's because I've got
no fear whatsoever.

Woo-hoo!

[IMITATES GUITAR SOLO]

No fear.

But that can't be.

Everyone has fears.

Some are just less obvious.

How about these classics.

[FINGERNAILS SCREECHING]

Ooh, yeah, yeah.
Let me blow out some harmony.

I can totally
jam with that.

[GROWLS]

Aah.

Paging Dr. Sparks, DDS.

Oh!

WHIPPERELLA:
Everyone fears the dentist!

Whew. Nothing to fear.

I got no cavities.

I'm a big brusher,
because plaque is wack, yo.

Ha! The naked truth.

It never fails
to destroy you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where'd my armor go?

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

Rocking the commando look.

What?

Merlok, I need a power-up

to make the other knights,
uh, well, unafraid I guess.

Yes.

Get ready for Nexo scan.

[LAUGHS]

I've never felt so free.

Thanks, Whippersnapper.

[SCREAMS]

Ah, yes.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uploading power.

Merlok! Nexo Knight!

Nexo Power:
Lion of Bravery!

Please, monster.

Stop.

I must save the damsel.

You talking about
this damsel?

Aah!

Boo-yeah!
Aaron?

What are you doing here?

And where's your armor?

[LAUGHS]
Oh, yeah.

Some whip lady took them.

I think she was trying
to scare me.

Well, uh, honestly, your lack
of modesty is scaring me a bit.

Oh. Sorry, man.
Be right back.

Aaron, tell me about
this whip lady.

Oh, she snaps you
with her whip,

and your worst fears
come to life.

What?

But I have no fear.
Woo-hoo!

So it was kind of fun
for me.

[SIGHS]

We must find
the others.

[ALL CHATTERING]

AXL:
So hungry.

Please, one bite.

[GRUNTING]

[ALL SCREAM]

Aah!

[SIGHS]

Come on. Please.

I'm the land's
most celebrated celebutante.

What did you say
your name was again?

Lance! Lance Richmond.

Oh.

Never heard of you.

[GRUNTS]

[♪♪♪]

Now that's what I call
a cover shot.

[GRUNTS]

What do you mean
he had no fear?

All crumbled before the terror
of their own worst nightmares.

Except the archer.

My magic didn't work.
He was afraid of nothing.

[SIGHS]

Are you kidding me?

I thought you said
she could scare anyone.

Did you try
the creepy crawlers?

Uh-huh.
What about the dentist?

I even gave him an
out-of-clothes experience.

[ALL GASP]

Completely naked?
In public?

Wow. I hate the dentist.

Didn't phase him, huh?

No.

He called me
all kinds of names,

like No-whip-latte and...

[SNIFFLES]

...Wimp-erella.

[SOBS]

[ALL GASP]
BURNSIE: Oh, that's terrible.

There, there.

You poor thing.

Do you need a hug?

[WHIMPERS]

Hmm, Wimp-erella.
That's pretty good.

Stop that, stop that!

They'll be none of that
while I'm here.

No hugging until we stop
those knights.

That Aaron must have something
he's scared of.

Yeah, your brutal
comedy routines.

Now's your chance,
Whipperella.

Hit him with everything
you've got!

Yes. I don't believe
anyone fears nothing.

[YELLS]

Aah! Was that supposed
to happen?

Whoa. Double snaps.

Things might get
a little...

scary.

Wait. Where am I?

BOOK OF MONSTERS:
Ah, don't worry.

It's just a very severe
fear-dream.

[LAUGHTER]

But I'm in the Joustdome.

The last time
I played the fool.

And there are
the knights.

Aaron too.

This is actually
your worst nightmare.

Oh.

No, no, no, no, no.
This can't be happening...

again.

Keep it together.

[CROWD BOOS]

Oh, no, no, no, no!

No!

[SOBS]

Oh, no, the plates,

spinning, spinning,
spinning plates.

Juggling, juggle,
pointy things, juggle.

No, no. The dropping.
Oh, the dropping.

There was dropping.
I dropped a lot.

No, no, no, no...
Uh...

is he okay?

Hmm. Yeah.
And now my worst fear:

we've lost again.

Grab him
and let's scram!

[WHIMPERING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

What are you looking at?

What's your problem?

Have a terrible day.

Shut your mouth!

Hmm.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[SIGHS]

Man, I still think

we should've chased
after them, and wham!

The Knights' Code says
we're supposed

to defend
the downtrodden.

He seemed pretty down,
and trodden.

But then I utterly failed
the whole Knights' Code thing,

didn't I?

Oh, come on.

Don't be so hard
on yourself, Clay.

We all fell for that slithery
monster's tricks.

Yeah, Macy,
but I don't know.

I still wish
that I was like Aaron.

Afraid of nothing.

Hmm.

Huh?

Uh...
Uh...

Hey, what gives?

Sorry. Some kind
of power surge.

Merlok 2.0's offline.

Is he okay?
He's fine.

But we'll have to shut down
everything in the castle.

Even my shield?
Yup.

The system's very fragile.

So stay completely silent
and still during the reboot.

Do nothing.

What? No, no, no.

What? Look, how am I supposed
to stay still?

How long is this
gonna take?

According to this message
from Merlok, about 10 minutes.

I have to do nothing?

For a whole 10 minutes?

[SHUDDERS]

[PANTS]

Not moving. Not moving.

I can't take nothing!

[SCREAMS]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[GASPS]

What was that
all about?

Oh, you just saw

Aaron's greatest fear:

when there is nothing
to do.

As the Fear Monster said,

he is literally
afraid of nothing.

Really?

No one is completely
fearless, Clay.

Not even the truest
of knights.

Merlok, you didn't have anything
to do with that reboot, did you?

[COUGHS]
Uh, what? Me?

Uh, no. I'm a wizard,

not a rebooting
techno-mathingy guy

who just happened to bump
into a few switches

here and there that go
beep-beep, boop, bup-bup-beep.

Uh, what's he
talking about?

[LAUGHS]

I don't know.

I'm afraid to ask.

Ooh, very afraid.

Well, we all are sometimes,
aren't we?

[♪♪♪]
