Opening:
[Opens with a brief recap of season 1]
Narrator: Little did all of Vandaria know, a new threat, far greater than the Lady of the Stars ever was, was about to rise…
[INSERT TITLE CARD]
[Long open shot while the song "You’re my best friend by Queen" plays while the camera flies over the Auberwood for about 7 seconds]
[Gray's swing from tree to tree, and wave to each other. Emiline flies past the screen, and the screen has switched to a flyover of Carreyn. By now, the lyrics have just begun and beginner mages fly over the city and past the camera on dragons]
[The scene switches to a montage of Lucian and his friends’s new life, spending time with his friends, going on adventures, and making the occasional visit to Carreyn to supervise the academy, and the even more uncommon visit to the Auberwood]
BRANCHES OF THE RELRAN
[music fades quiet enough for the character’s to be heard talking]
Emline: Lucian I understand you have bad memories from the Auberwood, but you can’t keep running from your past like this!
Lucian: I know that. It’s not bad memories I’m running from, it’s father.
Emline: (sighs) You can’t run from him either.
[Lucian frowns and crosses his arms]
Emline: Father is trying to be better, maybe slowly, but he is improving. He forgives you, now you just have to forgive him.
Lucian: Me?!
[Emline nods]
Emline: Uh huh.
Lucian: Uhh…
[Emline leans in closer]
[Lucian points behind Emline]
Lucian: What in Vandaria is that?!?
[Emline turns around and scans the distance while Lucian runs away]
Emline: What is what?
[turns back around, realizes Lucian is gone]
Emline: Lucian!
[Music resumes to full volume]
Scene 1:
VOLTAR’S SHIP, FLYING OVER A FOREST WITH MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND
[As scene begins, music quickly fades to silence]
[Sierra and Lucian are talking on the deck of Voltar's ship next to the railing, looking out towards the horizon.]
Lucian: Man, I love this life. It just feels like the kind of life I was born for, you know?
Sierra: Really? I mean, we go on “new” adventures almost every day, but somehow the unpredictability of our life has just become, you know, predictable?
Lucian: What do you mean?
Sierra: It just feels like whatever adventures we have, most of them just follow the same routine!
Lucian: And what exactly is that?
Sierra: Well, there are kinda two. The first is we discover an ancient temple with a magical, cursed artifact inside, then it releases an ancient monster or spirit or whatever that tries to kill us.
[By this point Lucian is fidgeting with his fingers and not paying attention]
Sierra: The second is that we get a call for help from some village in trouble, maybe its crops are dying, or there’s a problem with wild animals, then we find out that there’s really a curse or some evil wizard behind it all and we fix it or whatever.
Lucian: Well, at least it’s not boring!
Sierra: I know, but don’t you just wish that every once and a while we’d be thrust out of our comfort zone and deal with something completely different?
Lucian: Erm, no.
Sierra: (sighs) Fine, suit yourself.
[She turns around to walk away]
[BUZZING/BEEPING NOISE]
[Lucian and Sierra perk up at the sound and run towards the control center.]
SCENE CHANGE: CONTROL CENTER
Lucian and Sierra rush in, and discover that they’re receiving a transmission, they activate their communication crystal and are met with the mayor of Henville.
Mayor: Is this Lucian Urocron?
Lucian: Yes.
Sierra: Hey! I’m here too!
Mayor: Sorry, but we don’t have time to greet all of you, Henville is under attack!
Lucian: By who?
Mayor: Fen-Dahai! A lot of them! We need your help!
Explosion noises can be heard in the background
Lucian: Captain!
Captain’s voice: What is it? This better be good!
Lucian: Set a course for Henville, they need our help! We’re on our way.
Mayor: Thank you. We will do the best we can to hold them back until you arrive!
Lucian: No need, leave them all to me.
Sierra gives Lucian a look
Lucian: I mean, leave it to us! [murmurs under his breath] They’ll be more fun to fight while they’re still strong.
Mayor: What was that? [explosion noise]
Lucian: Nothing!
Mayor: Thank you for coming to our aid!
Sierra: No problem!
[explosion noise]
Mayor: Please hurry.
[another reyn runs up beside the mayor]
Other Reyn: LOOK OUT!
[explosion noise, communication crystal goes dead]
Sierra looks at Lucian
Sierra: Leave them to me?
Lucian smiles nervously and shrugs.
Scene 2:
[BATTLEFIELD, JUST NORTH OF HENVILLE]
[the Fen-Dahai have set up a base on top of a hill, they are shooting fireballs at the defenses down in the battlefield below, who are positioned in a small clearing inside a formation of rocks, shooting enchanted arrows back at the attackers]
[Lucian and his friends walk into the clearing]
Mayor: Mage Urocryon! You and your reinforcements have arrived!
Lucian: Yes, and we’re ready to kick tail.
Voltar: That’s the spirit!
[Lucian steps up onto a rock]
Lucian: Reyn of Henville! I vow that you will remember today for the rest of your lives! The day when it seemed that the society that you have built would come crashing down!
[fireball explodes right next to him but he does not notice]
Sierra: [whisper to Voltar] Where is he going with this?
[Voltar Shrugs]
Lucian: But then, you found help, and good triumphed over evil once and for all!
[turns around and throws of cape, Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses begins]
Voltar: Woah.
[Lucian thrusts his hand up to the sky, and a massive beam of fire shoots out of it]
[shot switches to the Fen-Dahai leader on top of the hill, he sees the burst of flame, he then looks over at another standing next to him and nods, the other one nods in return.]
[Lots of hover bikes with Fen-Dahai riding on them, wielding magic, ride down the hill onto the battlefield below, approaching Lucian]
[Lucian jumps up high in the air then lands kneeling fist-down, and creates a small crater in the ground, he stands up, then instantly destroys three hover bikes with his bare fists, then song lyrics start]
[Epic battle that goes along with the song, still working out the details]
[Lucian flies up to the top of the hill and destroys the Fen-Dahai fort with a massive fireball punch. He flies back down to the clearing and lands on the rock again, everyone cheers for him, except Voltar and Sierra, who are crossing their arms and rolling their eyes]
Scene 3:
VOLTAR’S SHIP, PARKED ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN, INSIDE OF LUCIAN’S SLEEPING QUARTERS
[while he is asleep, Lucian tosses and turns in his bed, repeating “No!” in between glimpses of his nightmare, where he sees all of Reynland being destroyed. Then, in his vision, a shadowy figure looms over the entire planet of Vandaria breaking apart. He wakes up, yelling. Sierra bursts in the room.]
Sierra: What is it?!
Lucian: Sierra, I think there's a great evil coming, greater than anything we've ever faced before.
Sierra: Even greater than the- the L-
Lucian: (cuts her off) Yes.
[Sierra gasps]
Lucian: We have to go to Carreyn, now.
[Sierra leaves the room, her voice can then be heard in the background while the camera slowly zooms in on Lucian’s terrified face]
Sierra’s voice: Captain! Voltar! Everyone! Wake up!
[The ship rises up from the mountain it is positioned on and sets out towards the horizon. It is quiet and distant, but an evil laugh can be heard.]
