[CHATTERING]

Uh... So hot.

Ugh. Why are we out
here in the Lavalands?

[SNIFFING]

We're here because
I smell an evil book.

I didn't sign up for hanging
out in this stanky place.

"Stanky" ain't a word.

Crack a dictionary
now and again, jester-head.



Hm.
I dated a dictionary once.

She could run the
gamut from A to Z.

She had an index on her
like you wouldn't--

Ah, but I digress.

[SNIFFS]

Go thataway.

It was here.
What? What was here?

The Redoubt of Ruination.

The evil wizard
Monstrux's great castle.

Whoa. He was the greatest,

most terrible magic-user
that ever lived.

Uh, not greater than me.

Uh, no. No. No.
Of course not.

[SNIFFS]

Yes. It's here.

The Book of Destruction.

The Book of Destruction?
Uh, what does it do?

Duh.
What do you think it does?

Have you been
paying attention?

It'll make monsters that
are incredibly destructive.

We can use
it to attack

the King's Castle
and destroy it.

ALICE SQUIRES:
Yes, the knight everyone wants to be,

Lance Richmond,
and his entourage,

made an appearance last night

at the super swanky new
nightclub Grail,

which features golden
everything!

It was only swanky
after I arrived.

Sir Lance, sir?

Shh, Dennis.

You know how I love to
hear about myself on TV.

Sir Lance, sir,
you're making quite the mess.

And it's your job
to clean it up.

[LAUGHS]
How great is that?

Not very.

[DENNIS GRUNTING]

Whoa, messolicious.

[GRUNTING CONTINUES]

Lance, this amount
of trash shows

a clear lack of discipline.

Haven't you ever heard
that a clean space

is the sign of a sick mind?

Oh, so you're just keeping
your brain healthy?

Exactamundo.

Yo, Dennis.
Can you get that?

That's it!

I've cleaned up after you

since you wore armored
diapers, but no more.

You are a P-I-G pig.

I resign.
Huh?

Hey, you can't quit unless
I give you permission to quit.

ALICE SQUIRES:
And now, is there trouble in paradise?

I quit. I quit
being a princess.

You can't quit.

I command you
to be a princess.

[GROANS]
I've fought for this kingdom.

For your kingdom, Dad.
I deserve to be a knight.

Don't raise your voice
to me, young lady.

I am your king.

Well,
I didn't vote for you.

You don't
vote for kings.

Now, listen you two.

You are heir
to this kingdom, Macy,

and you must start taking
your official duties seriously.

"Official duties" that are
officially boring, you mean.

I hereby decree that you will

come with me today
as I see to my realm

and that... is... final.

Well, I decree
I hate your decree.

Macy, dear, please.

I know it's hard to see, but
you have to humor your father.

Why?

He is your king
and he loves you.

Don't worry, he will realize
who you are, when he is ready.

But when, Mom? When?

BOOK OF MONSTERS:
There it is, The Book of Destruction.

It's destroying
everything around it.

It looks... dangerous.

No, it looks delicious.
Go get it.

[GRUNTS]

[MUNCHING]
Scrumptious.

Complex.

Full-bodied.

Fruity,
but with a hint of sulfur.

[BURPING AND COUGHING]

Whoa.

Destroy...

[HEAVY BREATHING]
Destroy!

You got it.

Monsters, monsters,
here's the new ploy,

come outta that book
and let's destroy.

[GROWLS]
[YELPS]

Oh,
this is gonna be so much fun.

One day, Macy,
this crown will be yours.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Whatever, Dad.

Now, go across this land

and destroy, destroy, destroy.

You're just sending them out
to wreck stuff at random?

Oh, no. I have something
else in mind.

[LAUGHS MANIACALLY]

When you laugh
all crazy like that,

I just got to join in.

[BOTH LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

[LAUGHING CONTINUES]

[SCREAMING]

[ROARS]

[ROARS]

[ROARS]

[SCREAMS]

[ROARS]

[ROARS]

[ROARING]

[SCREAMING]

[ROARS]
[SCREAMING]

[SNIFFING]

We interrupt our daily report
on celebrity footwear

to say that monsters are
attacking all over the kingdom!

They've even
sacked Sandalburgh,

where these fabulous
open-toed wedgies...

[GASPS]
Dad, we've got to get going.

KING HALBERT:
They're attacking everywhere?

Uh, I'm afraid so,
sire.

I've got a fix
on most of the raids,

but reports are
still coming in.

We'll stop them, Dad.
Don't worry.

Yeah, we'll just roll out
in this bad boy

and put an end to it.

Where, exactly,
should we roll?

They appear to be
all over the place.

We'll have to split up.

Ava,
plot a trajectory dividing

the major attacks
amongst the knights.

Uh, now, Clay,

do you really think splitting up
is the best course of action?

I don't see that
we have any choice.

We must defend the realm.

Can the Fortrex's
signal reach us all?

Well, that's a definite maybe.

If we're in a central location,
that's our best chance.

Uh, all right,
but still,

I have my reservations
about this plan.

You worry too much.

They'll all melt into
scaredy-cat lava-balls

when they see us coming.

Because we're the Nexo Knights.

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHING] Aw man, you're
a total mess without Dennis.

I'm completely fine.

My hands are just
a little greasy.

[SHIELD CLANGS]

Hm.

I am unsure about this plan,

but I feel
we're out of options.

Be safe, my brave daughter.

Okay, Whimp-erella,
time to clear the bridge.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, it's the little princess
come to stop me.

I'm so afraid.

That tears it.

[GRUNTING]

You got a date with a bookmark,
mullet-head.

I'm not afraid,

but you will be.

[GRUNTS]

Let's wrap this up, shall we?

[YELLING]

[GASPS]

Looks like you
are out-numbered.

Merlok, Nexo Knight.

No, stop.

Sorry, princess.

I guess pretending
to be a knight

just doesn't work
for you anymore, does it?

No, no. Let me go.

Oh, sorry,
you have to "hang out" here.

Make sure
the princess doesn't leave.

I have stuff to destroy.

[CHATTERING]

Oh, Dad.

Maybe you were right.

I'm not cut out
to be a knight...

Hm...

Hey, fellas.

You should learn to play nice.

[CHATTERING]

Guess I'll have to show you.

Hey, where you goin', guys?

The fun just started.

[ROARS]

Gonna need
some extra power.

Merlok-- Whoops.

Dennis.
My hands are greasy.

Dennis?

What? Too tight?

[LAUGHS]

Hi, big boy.

Come here often?

I thought you Knights took a
little pride in your appearance.

Nobody chains up
a Richmond.

Except me. Let's ride!

I'm dirty. I'm chained.
I'm in a pig pen.

I'm a mess.

Dennis. I need a clean towel.

And a mineral water.

Dennis?

Oh, that's right.
I drove him away.

I drive everyone away.

I just have to wallow
in my own filth.

Alone.

Hey.

What's your name?

[OINKS]

I've lost communications
with Macy and Lance.

What's going on out there?

Oh, this is
very, very not good.

[CHATTERING]

Where is everybody?

[LAUGHING]
I guess you never saw me coming.

Now.

What?

Hey, what gives?

Oh, we saw you
coming all the way.

And destroying
the antenna here

is the last of
Jestro's master plan.

No. No.

We've lost communication signals
with half the realm.

I think the relay station
in Antennaburg is down.

Oh, my.

Hello? Ava?

Ava, you there?

Communications are down
with the Fortrex.

Axl! Axl. Over here.

Is that where they are,
Mom?

Yes, yes.

The monsters have miners
trapped in there.

Not for long.

Hmm.
And now... stage two.

[ROARS]

Mom, you there?

I'm here, big guy,
but I'm not your mommy.

What did you do with my mom?

Oh, nothing.

I just "borrowed"
her rugged good looks.

Here, don't say I
never gave you anything.

Huh? One tiny sandwich?

You guys really are monsters.

[SCREAMS AND GROANS]

CLAY:
Ava, I'm at Targeton,

home of the World's
Largest Target.

Ava? Do you read me?

AVA [RADIO BREAKING UP]:
Clay-- Things are-- Good--
Got to-- Back to--

You got my back?

Thanks, Ava, I know you do.

No. No. Clay, things are not
good, you gotta come back.

Clay. Clay?

I lost him.

Oh, all does seems lost.

[ROARS]

Hey, don't go anywhere.

You haven't seen
my finishing move yet.

JESTRO:
Well hello, Clay.

Funny running into you here.

Seize him.

[LAUGHS]
I've always wanted to say that.

[ANGRY GRUNT]

Merlok, Nexo Knight.

Huh?

[BEEPING]

[SIGHS]

Have to handle this on my own.

[SCREAMS]

Bull's-eye.

Spin him.

[SCREAMING]

What? Jestro.

When my cohorts arrive,
you'll pay for this.

Ha. Your coconut must still
be spinnin', shiny boy.

Nobody's comin' to save you.

Yeah, you were the last one.

Now I've grabbed up all you
goody-goody knights

with my secret evil plan.

Attack everywhere,
split you all up,

cut off your connection
to Merlok,

and then capture you all.

You won't get away with this,
Jestro.

I used to think
you were my friend.

You thought we were friends?

Well, you thought wrong.

We've dealt with the Knights.

Now we deal with their king.

We march on to the capital.

[CLAY SCREAMING]

Huh.

Okay, I got some battery power.

But I need a signal boost.

Like through an antenna.

Even a broken one.

[DEVICE POWERS UP]

Yes.

Look. The capital city.

Soon it'll be called
"Jestroville."

[SNIFFING]
Oh, my.

What? What is it?

Do you smell something?
Uh, no, I'm just, well...

[SNIFFING]

I'm just so proud of you,
you crazy, evil genius.

I never thought you'd
lead an army of monsters

in a great crusade
against goodness.

Yeah, it feels good to be bad.

And be good at it.

You were right about me,
weren't you?

Yeah, yeah,
I'm always right.

It's so beautiful.
Walk me to the Beastmaster.

Hurry, leg-man, hurry.

There's another evil book in
that outcropping over there.

I can smell it.
And we're gonna need it.

Go find it for me, and don't
tell the head joke-man.

[LAUGHS]
Sure, Boss.

Hey, what're you
guys talking about?

Uh, how amazingly
awesome your plan is,

oh exalted evil one.

[WHISPERING]
You big sap.

AARON: I'm telling you, Jestro's army
is destructive

beyond anything
we've ever seen before.

And huge. I've never seen
that many monsters.

And he's jammin' straight
towards the capital.

We gotta stop him.

Ava, if we move
the Fortrex to here,

we can bust his chops and--

No, Aaron.
The best course of action

is to download Nexo Power
to your hovershield.

You'll use that power
to gather up

the other Knights
as quickly as possible.

Get ready for Nexo scan.

I'll download
the last known positions

of the remaining knights
to your system.

But-- But that's
like I'm running away.

It's our only
course of action, Aaron.

You must hurry.

We are all counting on you.
Now fly.

Merlok... Nexo Knight.

MERLOK:
Nexo-Power, Flight of the Phoenix.

Right. Gotta jet.

I must return to Knightonia

and do what I can
to defend the city.

That sounds
very dangerous, sire.

How can you stand
in Jestro's way?

BLACK KNIGHT:
I got some ideas.

I'll go with him.

Young Robin and his ingenuity
are most welcome.

Now, Ava, you must search
my memory files

for a powerful bit of magic
that I fear lies buried

in my systems, then-- Ava?

My dear, what's wrong?

We're sitting out here,
the Knights are captured,

and Jestro is about to
take the King's Castle.

I feel so, so...

helpless.

My child,
you must remember,

it is always
darkest before the dawn.

Now... buck up.

There is much work
to be done.
