Nexo Knights (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - The Maze of Amazement - full transcript

The Knights find themselves trapped in a maze looking for the Book of Deception. But will they actually get their hands on it, or will it keep deceiving them?

Here's the latest from
the Knighton News Network.

Just as the Nexo Knights took
a day off to film a new movie,

Jestro and his monsters
attacked the set.

The Book of Monsters thought
that the film script

would give him great powers.

Junior Knight
Robin Underwood created

some ultra additions
to the Knights' armor.

And the Nexo Knights
saved the day yet again.

I'm Herb Herbertson
and this is Nexo Knights!

[♪♪♪]

This is where Axl's from?

Diggington?

How charmingly...
rustic.

Lance!
That's rude.



What?
I was being diplomatic.

Oh, right.
Everyone knows "rustic"

is your code
for "run-down and dirty."

Huh? It is?

Sorry, Axl.

I'm sure it's lovely
on the inside.

[♪♪♪]

[ALL CHEERING]

[CHANTING]
Axl, Axl, Axl, Axl, Axl...

MAN: Uh, Sir Axl!
Sir Axl!

If you want
a room, it's-- Axl!
[CHUCKLES]

Hello... Mom.
[SCREAMS]

Why didn't you tell me
the city Knights were coming?

The place is a mess!

Eh-uh-- You wait here!

[KNIGHTS GASP]

[OBJECTS CLATTERING]

[ELECTRONIC WHIRRING]

[CAT SHRIEKS]
[CLATTERING]

Welcome, sirs--

and Sir Princess--
to the Digging Inn.

See voo play.

Hey, Voo!
Start playin'!

♪ Welcome welcome welcome ♪

♪ Oh you're so knightly
Knightly, knightly, knightly ♪

♪ But out in daylightly! ♪

♪ We can't wait
to serve you! ♪♪

Heh. Everything
looks so nice.

Nothing is too fine
for fancy city Knights!

We's a high class
fancy place.

Axl, get in that kitchen
and bring out the stew.

Mom, don't go
putting on airs.

Uh! Oh, my, I forgot
to do my hair!

Never mind...
Now get it!

Uh, yes, Mom.

May I introduce
Axl's papa, Papa Axl.

And my baby, Axlina.

Curtsey like a lady!

You're cute...

[CHUCKLES]

These are my friends,
the Knights of the Fortrex:

Clay, Lance,
Aaron, Princess Macy...

And young Robin,
a knight in training.

[HAPPILY GRUNTS]
[ROBIN GROANS]

And, of course, Sir Axl,
Knight of the Realm.

But you already
know him.

Axl, straighten up!
Huh?

Sir Moorington
is introducing you.

Yes, Mom.

[LAUGHING]

Knights
of this kingdom!

Our finest porcupine stew!

Don't mind the needles.
Dig in!

[SPEAKER FEEDBACK]

Regrettably,
duty calls.

Ava has detected
a Book of Evil nearby,

and we must find it
before Jestro does.

Keep that stew warm,

I want a big serving
of it when I get back!

[GASPS]

Axl!
[AXL GASPS, GRUNTS]

[FORTREX BEEPING]

We must find
the book immediately,

so Jestro
won't expand his evil.

AVA: The signal is coming
from these hills.

But it keeps shifting.
[BEEPING AS IT SHIFTS]

As if the book doesn't want us
to know where it really is.

Is that as ominous as it sounds,
or is it just me?

There, you see?
It's a good thing

we didn't try
to pillage that village yet.

Those Knights
would have found us!

Anyway, the book
we're looking for...

Heh. It's nearby.

Hm. They must be
looking for it too.

We could follow them.

And steal it right
from under their noses!

Oh. Not a bad idea!

I'll give it a seven
on the evil scale.

Oh-ho! Pretty
deceptive, joke-boy!

[EVIL LAUGH]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

AARON: Whoo!

CLAY: Let's go!

We're never
gonna find this book!

Patience is a virtue.

It's not my virtue.

Axl? Local boy?
Help us out.

Don't recognize
this mountain.

Don't think
I've ever even seen it.

Well, why didn't
you say something?

You didn't ask.

There's something ahead, guys.

Entrance to...
something.

Ugh. It's giving me
mixed signals.

[EXERTION GRUNTS]

Looks like
a doorway of some kind.

CLAY: Okay, Knights,
we're going in.

[♪♪♪]

[KNIGHTS GASP]

Who built this?
Nobody I know.

Ava, any idea
where we are?

AVA [OVER EARPIECES]: No. But it
looks like some sort of maze.

I'm setting up a run-time
simulation so I can map it

and extrapolate
it's twists and turns.

We can't wait.
Jestro is somewhere nearby.

JESTRO: Uh... I don't want
to go in there.

[SNIFFS]

Stop being a baby!

My nose knows

there's evil in there,
so we go find it.

Take me in there, dummy!
March!

[SCREAMS]

Oh. I knew this was
a bad idea!

I have a touch of eh.
claustrophobia.

I'm gonna give you
"book-o-phobia"

if you don't keep movin'.

[JESTRO WHIMPERING]

Conjure-up
some scouts, magic madman!

[EXERTION GRUNTS]

[CHEERING AND CHATTERING]

Monsters,
walk ahead of us.

You, go to the right.
You, go left.

[BOTH SCREAM]

Eh, command decision:

We go straight ahead.

That was a tough call.

Okay, everybody,
be ready for anything.

This maze is like
some gauntlet
of deception.

You never know what
might be waiting--

[MACY GASPS]
Macy!?

MACY: Help!
I'm so lost and alone!

Does that sound like something
Macy would say?

Uh-oh.

[SCREAMING]

[KNIGHT SCREAMS]

[GRUNTING]

[GASPS]
Thanks.

Nothing is what it seems here.

Whoops!

Huh!
We're getting nowhere fast.

How can
you say that, Aaron?

You're usually
so upbeat.

We're totally
going in circles.

That's where I scraped
my hover shield on the wall.

Hm.

[PLAYS THREE NOTES]

Huh? My lute.

There should be
a ton of echo in here,

but the sound's not bouncing
back like it should.

[PLAYS NOTES]

Ava, can you confirm
Axl's claim?

Help us through
this maze?

I think so.

I'm mapping it out as you go.

It actually
looks strangely familiar.

Wow!

Hey, I should be the one who
could walk through walls.
What gives?

[NOTES CONTINUE PLAYING]

Ah-ha!

Sweet.
This maze is gonna be cake!

[MONSTERS GRUNTING AND LAUGHING]

Oh, this maze
is impossible!

Relax, fraidy-pants.

Ya just gotta
think smarter.

We'll smell it out.
[SNIFFS]

It's that way.
Ah!

Monsters, monsters,
I'm going crazy!

Help me navigate
this wacky mazy!

[MONSTERS LAUGHING]

Fastest route from one place
to another is a straight line!

Mush!
Straight ahead!

Ha! See?
I'm a genius!

Huh? What? Oh.

Glad that's rolled by and...

[MONSTERS SCREAMING]

My fearless leader...
the genius.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

Hm... Wait a minute...

[♪♪♪]

[KNIGHTS GASP]

Wow!

Merlok, can you
translate this?

Oh, yes.
Let's have a look.

"Now your path, you must choose:
Pick wisely or you will lose.

"A helpful maiden
you might find

or a horrible monster,
most unkind."

How do we know
which door is which?

How can we choose
without knowing?

...by the toe.
If he hollers let him go.
AARON: It's kind of
a cosmic riddle, yo.

Eenie, meanie, minie, moe.
LANCE: Okay, okay,
let's take a moment.

AXL: Here! Ha ha!
LANCE: Nobody do anything!

[KNIGHTS EXCLAIM]

[KNIGHTS SIGH]

Greetings, brave warriors.

Hello!

Lance Richmond, handsome
and wealthy knight, and you are?

I am called Zoot.

Well, uh, Zoot,
how'd you like me

to show you around
the Fortrex sometime...?

Oh, for-- Hi, Zoot,
Princess Macy.

How do we find the evil book
we're looking for?

Mm...

[GRUNTS]
Awesome-sauce!

Let's go!
AXL: Wait!

[KNIGHTS EXCLAIM]
No!

[GASPS]

Hm.

What is your name?

[GIRL'S VOICE]
My name is Dingo...

That is a girl?

Which is the true path
to the book?

The glyphs said,
"a helpful maiden,"
not a beautiful maiden.

And the monster would be
horrible, not hideous.

[SNARLS]

Too late!

You're doomed!

Bad Zoot.

Bad, wicked,
naughty Zoot.

You will be punished.

Go and find what you seek.

[SIGHS]

[MONSTERS SCREAMING]

Hey, Axl, how did you know
that Zoot was the monster?

Well, nothing is
as it appears
in this place.

You hill folk are
smarter than you look.

Was that a crack
on my family, Richmond?

No!
Your family's lovely!

I can't wait for
a big bowl of porcupine stew!

Heh, yeah!

Sorry about Mom trying
to make my family
look all fancy.

LITTLE GIRL: Hello?
Someone help me, please!

Digi-ghosts!
They're gonna eat me!

It's not digi-ghosts.
That was a little girl!

LITTLE GIRL: Help me!

[EXERTION GRUNTS]

Don't worry,
I've got...
[EVIL LAUGHS]

Huh?

[EXERTION GRUNTS]

[EXERTION GRUNTS]

Clay, everything in this maze
is an illusion and deception.

Huh?

[BEEPING]

Guys, this maze is starting
to look familiar.

You know that old game,
Whack-Man?

This maze reminds me
of that maze.

Heh!
I totally love that game!

I know it by heart!

C'mon. This way!

[EXERTION GRUNTS]

I think we're almost there.

Ah, too easy.

Wait.

Nothing is as it seems.

[LAUGHTER]

Ha! Too easy.

Wait.
Hear that?

We're not alone.

[WEAPONS POWER UP]

Prepare for foul play!

[MONSTERS SCREAMING]

Hm...

Those rocks.

Aren't rocks!

[JESTRO SHRIEKS]
[ROCK MONSTERS ROARING]

The book!
Get the book!

The book!
Get the book!

Ah!

Ah-ha!

What is it?

"I am the Book
of Deception,

and I cannot tell the truth."

[ROCK MONSTER ROARS]

Axl! No!

We have to know!

[GASPS]

Huh?

Okay, I'm confused.

What was the point
of this whole thing?

It was a ruse--
to take our focus away
from getting the real book.

[LAUGHING]

[GROANS]

He's headed back
to Diggington!

With the actual
Book of Deception!

Ava, quick!

We need the Fortrex!

So, this wacky
deceptive book

created a copy of itself
and made copies of mazes--

which weren't really there--
to protect itself?

Yeah.
Ain't life grand?

Once we get through this podunk
town, we're home free.

I dunno,
doesn't look so bad.

Kinda... rustic.

Which is another
word for. horrible.

[MONSTERS SCREAMING
AND LAUGHING]

[TIRES SKID]
[GASPS]

Huh?

Just hold it right there,
creepy clown-type fella!

Huh. A mob?
Really?

Find out what
all these peasants want.

Excuse me,
rustic-types,

but you're standing
in the middle of the road.

[ALL GASP]
Who you callin'
"rustic", buster?

Hey, Axelina!
I see you got my phone call!

Thanks for slowin' 'em down!

Ooh! Heh, heh!

Yeah, that's gonna be
a problem later.

Get ready for Nexo scan!

[BEEPING BEGINS INCREASING]

Bring me the Book
of Deception. Hurry!

We've only got
a small window
to pull this off!

Let's go!

[ALL SCREAMING]
[BEEPING INCREASING]

Now?
Should I do it now?

Wait for it...

[RAPID BEEPING]
Knights, time to power up!

Merlok: Nexooo-Knight!

[♪♪♪]

MERLOK: Nexo-Power:
Gauntlet of Truth!

Okay, Knights, time to take-down
the monsters and get that book!

Charge!

Should I do it now?

Wait for it...

Charge!

[EXERTION GRUNTS]

Ha!

Now?

Wait for it...

Get to Jestro!

We want that book!

How about... Now!

Wait for it...

♪ Axel and the knights
Are gonna kick your butts ♪

♪ They'll all step up
And save us... ♪

Ah!

♪ From those monsters
That are nuts! ♪

BOOK: Now!

JESTRO: Oh, Burnzie!
Hurry! They've won!

Get us out of here!

Oh, oh, please hurry!

Well, that's one thing
you're bad at: acting.

Toss it!
[GRUNTS]

The book!

We have to secure
the Book of Deception!

Ah, man!
Jestro got away!

Yeah, but we got the book,
and that's our main mission.

[BAND PLAYING UPBEAT FOLK MUSIC]
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

You know, Mom Axl,

you never have to
"fancy" stuff up for us.

Well, you know,
we don't like everyone

to think
we're too "rustic".

Rustic? Uh,
rustic is a good thing!

A fine thing!
A happy, rustic thing.

Huh?

In the maze,
you couldn't stop

talkin' about Mom's stew.

So... eat up.

[NERVOUSLY CHUCKLES]

I... love...

food with spines.

[LAUGHING]
MOM AXL: Porcupine stew
for everyone!

On the house!

[TOWNSFOLK CHEERING]

Smells like...
feet.

Ow!
Six-feet
of yummy!

It's a common
measurement of,

uh, you know,
food deliciousness.

[HAPPILY GRUNTING]

Uh... Heh, heh...

Help?

Oh! I'm done
being fancy, Axl.

It's exhausting.

Good.
Just be who you are, Mom,

and people will like you.

I learned that.

[GRUNTING
AND PANTING]

Ah, won't they figure out
that we gave them

another bogus copy
of the Book of Deception?

Those tin-hats?

Yeah, eventually.

But by the time
they do,

we'll be long gone.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Huh.

"Fooled you again, suckers!"

Huh?

Oh, dear...

[♪♪♪]
