00:00And then, from the field of the future, a new king will come to save the world of the past.
00:30The heroes in an evil town.
00:35Arthur and the knights of justice, putting evil down.
00:41Right through the storm with the knights of the devil round.
00:46Come on, come on.
00:48Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:58King of the Red.
01:07The tears of Gortys, ready at last.
01:11Be careful with it, Warlord Blackwing. I have labored long to make this option.
01:16I'm honored you've chosen me, Queen Morgana.
01:19The honor will quickly turn to shame should you fail.
01:23I shall not fail.
01:25Then go!
01:27Fly!
01:32You're asking for trouble, Everett.
01:34If King Arthur finds out you're playing with his armor,
01:36he'll skin you alive.
01:37He's in the round table room with the knights.
01:41So there's no way he's gonna find out I'm trying on his armor.
01:44Draw your sword, knight, and prepare to do battle.
01:48It's a warlord!
01:49Grab a sword!
01:55Lady Mary.
01:58It's one thing to wear King Arthur's armor,
02:01quite another to know how to use it.
02:03You're not gonna tell him, are you?
02:05And get my favorite nephew in trouble.
02:08Let's see how well you've been learning your lessons.
02:15You have been practicing.
02:17Ha, so Lancelot's been helping me.
02:20Be bold, Everett.
02:22Attack!
02:23Enjoy your battle, Arthur.
02:35Warlord Blackwing!
02:45Ugh!
02:47Now, see how brave the noble Arthur is.
02:51Everett, are you all right?
02:53Ugh!
02:57Everett! Everett!
02:58Ah!
02:59Ah!
03:01Ah!
03:03Ah!
03:04It's very serious, Arthur.
03:06It must have taken Morgana years
03:08to have gathered all the ingredients needed for this potion.
03:11Oh.
03:12Mm.
03:14You've got to do something for him, Merlin.
03:16He's in terrible pain.
03:17Isn't there some magical spell you can...
03:20There is no magic I can work
03:21which will stop the tears of Gortys.
03:24It's an evil potion, Arthur.
03:27Once it strikes, there is no relief.
03:29Ever.
03:30There must be something that can be done.
03:32You're not telling me everything.
03:34I can tell.
03:35It is too dangerous.
03:37I'll take the risk.
03:39You cannot.
03:40If anything happens to you,
03:41we would never find the keys of truth.
03:43The kingdom would be lost,
03:45and your friends would never be able
03:46to return to their own world.
03:48What kind of kingdom is it
03:49where the life of one boy
03:51isn't important enough to risk one's own life?
03:53Please, Merlin, he's my own blood.
03:56Very well.
03:58The only thing that can cure Everett's illness
04:01is the Horn of the Zog,
04:02which is to be found in the swamps of Zagoth,
04:05near Morgana's castle.
04:07The way Merlin tells it,
04:08this Zog creature is half-rhinoceros,
04:10half-rhinoceros, half-porcupine.
04:12Sounds like one of the girls Brick used to date.
04:16Whoa!
04:19We've got to get that horn if Everett's going to be cured.
04:21I'm taking a small team with me.
04:23Tone, I need you and Darren.
04:25Anything for that kid.
04:27Just let me get a bead on this Zog with my crossbow,
04:30and the horn's as good as ours.
04:32Just remember, Merlin told us
04:33the Zog is an endangered species,
04:35so we must not harm it.
04:39King Arthur, Knights of Justice, speak the oath.
04:45I am King Arthur.
04:47And we are the Knights of Justice.
04:50We pledge fairness to all,
04:52to protect the weak and vanquish the evil.
04:56-♪
05:26-♪
05:56Then we're off for Zagoth.
06:04What is this? Some kind of joke?
06:07I was born and raised not far from the swamps of Zagoth.
06:10They are treacherous. I can lead you through them.
06:13You're not leading me anywhere.
06:16We all know Everett's your nephew,
06:18but this mission isn't any place for...
06:20A woman?
06:21You got that right.
06:23Your Highness, it was my fault
06:25that Everett was the target of the potion.
06:27If I hadn't encouraged him, he never would have been struck.
06:31As for my fitness to go with you, I propose a test.
06:34If I can make you yield,
06:36I will have proved myself worthy to accompany you.
06:40Maybe we ought to knight her
06:42and make Tone a lady-in-waiting.
06:45Take it easy, Tone.
06:47Since when do knights hide behind their king?
06:50Lady Mary.
06:52I don't care if she is a lady.
06:54She tells me I'm hiding.
06:56Then lay on!
06:58All right, take it easy on her then.
07:00Let her go at it for a couple of seconds
07:02to get this out of her system,
07:04then knock the sword out of her hand.
07:06Don't worry. I won't hurt her.
07:25Whoa!
07:30Okay. You asked for it.
07:55Whoa!
07:59Do you yield, Sir Tone?
08:01I don't think he's got much of a choice.
08:04Get a horse. You're coming with us.
08:06Thank you, Your Highness.
08:08You want to play guide. That's your business.
08:11But stay out of my way when the fighting starts.
08:14Unless I'm mistaken, Sir Tone, we're on the same side.
08:19Stay close together and keep it quiet.
08:21We're lucky the diversion will give us a chance
08:23to sneak through the siege.
08:48Look! Someone's trying to leave Camelot!
08:52After them!
09:08Polly and Brick's light should draw the warlords.
09:11Here is our target!
09:14Did you think you'd lure us all away so easily?
09:18It was worth a try.
09:28Let's go to Plan B.
09:44Out of my way!
10:10Too late!
10:13Too late!
10:21Too late, Arthur!
10:24Too late!
10:36What?
10:37Impossible! No rope can be so strong.
10:41Siege believing.
10:52Smart move, Viper.
10:54I'll take my rope.
10:59Fools! Why aren't you going after Arthur?
11:03Wait till I get my hands on Blackwing.
11:07I could not have missed him, Viper.
11:10Then who was I fighting?
11:12I was so close I could see the emblem on his breastplate
11:16when I dropped the pouch.
11:18But did you see his face?
11:20Well, his visor was down,
11:24but I know I hit him with the pouch.
11:27You hit someone with the pouch, but it was not Arthur.
11:31If it was, he would be in no condition to battle.
11:34Then we've wasted the potion.
11:36Maybe not.
11:38Whoever was struck with the potion lies in agony at this moment.
11:42Arthur has ridden to get the cure.
11:44What cure?
11:46The Horn of the Zog, as Merlin well knows.
11:49Warlord Blackwing, fly to the swamps of Zagoth.
11:52Make traps there to slow Arthur until Lord Viper can arrive.
11:55How can you be so certain he will ride to the swamps of Zagoth?
11:59Because Merlin has chosen a man to replace
12:03the true King Arthur, who is very close to the king in nature.
12:07He will risk all to save the one who was injured
12:10because he knows the potion was meant for him.
12:14Before I'm through, he'll wish he'd been hit by the potion instead.
12:24We must move with caution. The swamps are filled with quicksand.
12:28That is why Merlin gave me this rope of strength
12:30in case someone should need to be pulled from the mire.
12:34Yeah? And why didn't you tell us about this rope of strength before we had?
12:39A lady never reveals all of the secrets, Sertel.
12:52A charming welcome to the swamps of Zagoth.
12:55Keep a sharp watch.
12:57Right.
13:01This isn't going to be doing us any good tonight, Arthur.
13:04Why do I get the feeling we were expected?
13:17Nice place you brought us to, Lady Mary.
13:20Reminds me of that mud bowl we played in last year.
13:24Mud bowl? How could you eat out of it?
13:30Well, I don't know what's so funny.
14:01Mary!
14:14It's the sun!
14:16If it falls, I'll be dead by now.
14:19This is a Deledra. Do not make any sudden movements.
14:23I think I can take care of this.
14:26Mary, slowly move backwards.
14:29Toad, no!
14:31Well, I think old Toad here is going to have to teach you a lesson.
14:41Maybe we'll do that lesson tomorrow.
14:53Get out of there, Toad. I'll give you cover.
14:57That's what you get for picking on people smaller than you.
15:14Excalibur, be my strength!
15:27No!
15:40Everyone, behind me!
15:42But, Arthur, you can't!
15:44Dragon of the Shield, protect us!
15:56Dragon of the Shield, protect us!
16:27Good boy.
16:29Now I think we've got a Zug to find.
16:34How do we find this Zug thing, anyway?
16:37Quickly, Sir Darren, before it finds us.
16:40There!
16:42It's a tree. So big, the...
16:45The bark is scars from where a Zug scratched himself on it.
16:49This thing uses a tree as a back scratcher?
16:52We can follow its tracks.
16:54Check it out with her.
16:56Great. Now I'm going to be her chaperone.
17:19I told you it was a mistake to take her with us.
17:22You didn't say that about Sir Darren when he...
17:24You're not Sir Darren!
17:26Hey, we took an oath of chivalry, remember?
17:29She's a lady, Toad. Why don't you...
17:31Down!
17:44Fight like a man, you bird!
17:48Toad! Quicksand!
17:56I'm always lost, now I realize.
18:02Attack!
18:08Excalibur, be my strength!
18:18Attack!
18:30Oh, do you have that sinking feeling, Sir Darren?
18:47Attack!
18:53Attack!
19:00Sir Darren to your crossbow cart!
19:18Hang on.
19:20Now, Sir Darren!
19:29The Zug!
19:47Away! Let the Zug do our work for us.
19:57Well, we found it. Now what do we do?
20:01Move slowly away from me.
20:03Wait a minute, I'm...
20:05It's my play.
20:18His horn can rip through armor!
20:31Sorry to do this, Zug, but I need to get a bit of your horn.
20:48Well, I think we got what we came for.
20:51I, uh... I guess I was wrong about you.
20:55And I was wrong about you.
20:57I didn't think you were the kind of person who could admit when he's made a mistake.
21:07Boy, I was sure I'd get to rest a few days after what I went through.
21:12Consider yourself lucky, Everett.
21:14Consider yourself lucky, Everett.
21:16You were cured by the Zug's horn,
21:18and the only punishment you got for playing in King Arthur's armor is polishing it.
21:23His and everyone else's.
21:26Speaking of armor...
21:29Well, at least it's clean, Sir Tone.
21:31But whose is it? I thought I had everyone's armor here.
21:35It's yours, Lady Mary. I made it in the blacksmith's shop.
21:39But I'm not a knight.
21:42I know, but you never know when we might need your help again.
21:46Thank you, Sir Tone. I'm honored.
21:49And I'm grateful.
21:51And you've got a lot of armor to shine.
21:54So get back to work.
