Speaker Dialogue
(In a forest, Sasha is shown on a run, does some pull-ups and ends up facing some mannequins resembling Anne and the Plantars. She smashes the Plantar mannequins and then looks at Anne's.)
Grime Trial by combat!
Anne It's over, Sash. You're not gonna push me around anymore.
Sasha Hey, Anne, maybe you're better off without me.
(Sasha grunts and kicks Anne's mannequin, then draws her sword and points it in front of it, as if about to finish it off. As she takes a breath, she takes out her BFF's picture and looks at it. The wind blows, folding the part with Anne so it only leaves Sasha and Marcy.)
Sasha Yo, Grime! How was my form on that last kick? (notices that Grime isn't present) Grime?
(Sasha puts her sword away and walks to the hut. When she opens the door...)
Sasha Are you in here? (notices Grime's hideous state) Oh, my gosh!
(Grime sticks out his tongue to eat a stir-fry.)
Suspicion Island Advertiser Next time on Suspicion Island...
Woman But Randy, I think YOU'RE suspicious.
Randy Noooo! (explosion)
Grime (laughs) Wow. Randy too? (chuckles) Everyone really is suspicious.
(Sasha stands in front of Grime, gets angry, and crosses her arms.)
Grime Hey, what's (snaps and points at her) up, Sash?
Sasha Oh, I'll tell you what's up. (takes her cell phone) You're sitting here binge-watching trash TV all day when we're supposed to be training. (shows him a "Wanted" poster of himself) What are you gonna do when someone comes to collect the big, fat price on your big, fat head?
(A couple of bounty hunters jump out of the windows to attack, so Sasha screams and then draws her sword and counterattacks.)
Sasha Bounty hunters!
(Bounty Hunter 2 tries to attack Sasha with an ax, but she knocks her back and then kicks Bounty Hunter 1 just as he is about to attack her.)
Sasha Grime, help me take these guys down!
Grime (tries to reach for his sword) (straining) Nah, you got this.
Sasha (groans) Okay, guys, that's enough.
(Sasha thrusts her sword into the ground and then the bounty hunters collide and fall. Upon finishing in front of Grime, they are revealed to actually be Percy and Braddock.)
Percy Aw, man, (takes out his horn) I landed on my favorite horn. (squeezes it)
Grime Percy? Braddock? Why were you...?
Braddock Sasha thought a little action might help you get out of your rut.
Grime So you staged this attack? Sounds like you two belong...
(Sasha smile as Percy and Braddock get concerned.)
Grime (points at Sasha) ...on Suspicion Island! (laughs along with Percy and Braddock)
(Sasha groans while smacking her head in frustration.)
Grime Hey, (takes them on the shoulders) you guys wanna join me? Season's just getting good.
(Percy and Braddock are about to go with Grime, but...)
Sasha Ah, heck nah. (grabs them and throws them back to the door) You two (passes Braddock some coins) go into town and get some food or whatever. I need a word with Captain Grime. (intimidates them) Alone!
Percy M'okay.
Braddock Suits us.
(Percy and Braddock leave, but they get stuck in the door for a moment, but break free and they run off happy. Back with Sasha...)
Sasha (grunts and looks back at Grime)
Grime Whaaat? (notices that his left hand is dirty) Oop! Beetle fingers. (licks it clean) You were saying?
Sasha Look at you! You're a mess. What happened to the Grime I used to know?
Grime (groans while sitting) He's gone. Ever since Newtopia branded me a (lies down face up) traitor, I don't see the point anymore.
Sasha So you lost control of the valley and abandoned your post and now you're a fugitive. That doesn't mean we should give up. We can still put those frogs back in their place and reclaim what's ours.
Grime (laughs) Us and what army? All but two of my soldiers have abandoned us. We can't possibly retake the valley.
Sasha Oh, so that's it then? You're just gonna sit here and do nothing?
Grime Do nothing? Hello. I've been growing a beard.
Sasha Yeah, don't remind me.
Grime (groans) (pulls a drink from his beard) Look, Sasha, don't worry about it. I may be a little out of shape... (gulps) but I'm sure (crushes the can) I can still lick whoever Newtopia sends after me.
(Grime sticks his tongue out to eat the can and then gives a huge burp that hits Sasha.)
Sasha You better be right about that.
(Meanwhile, an unknown newt arrives in the city. And in the restaurant, while the customers are being served, a bartender cleaning some cutlery, a frog playing while another sings yodeling, the mysterious newt arrives slamming the wooden doors, so the singing and the piano are interrupted. The pianist frog plays a suspenseful tone as customers fall silent and watch her. The mysterious newt walks up to the bartender.)
Unknown newt I suppose you're wondering who I am?
Bartender Not especially. (The unknown newt takes some knives out of her gloves and breaks the plate in two) Whoa!
Unknown newt (After putting her knives away from her gloves) My name is General Yunan, (makes a pose) Scourge of the Sand Wars, (makes another pose) Defeater of Ragnar the Wretched, (does some deadly cartwheels and stands on the counter) aaaaaand... (makes a final pose while displaying a flag) the youngest newt to ever achieve the rank of General in the great Newtopian army!
(General Yunan notices that everyone is silent. A chirping cricket is heard and a frog eats it.)
General Yunan And this is why I hate coming out to the boonies. Anyway, (returns to the ground) (pulls out a "Wanted" sign and shows it to him) I am here to hunt the fugitive, Captain Grime.
Newt (whispering to a toad) Hey, ain't that the toad warrior that started out as a gladiator?
General Yunan (walks up to the newt and the toad and squeezes them) So, you know of my quarry? Tell me, where has he last been seen?
(Percy and Braddock can be heard entering the restaurant.)
Percy Whoo... Do you think Captain Grime's gonna be okay?
Braddock I don't know, but (while sitting) talk about a workout. I'm starving.
Percy (while sitting) Hey, let's get the cheesy flies!
Braddock Okay. Hey, Gertrude...
(General Yunan walks over to Percy and Braddock and hands them a couple of plates of cheesy flies.)
General Yunan Mind if I join you? (smiles)
Percy Uh, well...
Braddock Kind of "party for two" thing here. (chuckles) Wait. Who are you? Our server?
Generel Yunan (growls) I am General Yunan, Scourge of the Sand Wars, Defeater of Ragnar the Wretched, the youngest newt to ever achieve the rank of General in the (points them) great Newtopian army.
(Percy and Braddock are quiet for a moment.)
Percy (munches)
Braddock Okay.
Generel Yunan I am here searching for a certain toad. (pulls out the "Wanted" sign and shows it to him) Perhaps you know of him?
Braddock (she and Percy get nervous) Uh, nope. Sorry. Never seen him before.
Generel Yunan Really? I could swear you were just talking about someone named Grime.
Braddock (sweats) That's not what I said.
Generel Yunan That's not what you said?
Braddock (sweats more) That's not what I said.
Generel Yunan Then why are you sweating?
Braddock (sweats even more) 'Cause it's hot.
Generel Yunan (gets deeply close to Braddock) Hmm. Well, (shrugs) I've done all I can here. I will continue my search elsewhere. General Yunan, (cartwheels out the door) away!
Braddock Phew, that was close! Good thing we're such good actors, huh?
Percy Yeah, now she'll never find them at the old mill, which is on the edge of town.
(General Yunan is shown hiding on the ceiling and overheard Percy and Braddock, and proceeds to go to the cabin.)
(Back with Sasha and Grime...)
Sasha (While setting the mannequins back up) Okay, so first of all, this beard and burping situation... (points at him) Unacceptable. Secondly... (hears someone whistling) Wait. Do you hear that?
(Shown to be General Yunan approaching the mill while whistling.)
Sasha Who's that?
Grime Oh, crud. That armor... She's Newtopian military for sure.
General Yunan I found you at last.
Sasha Who the heck are you?
General Yunan (while takes a breath) All right. Third time today. Let's do it! I am General Yunan, Scourge of the Sand Wars, Defeater of Rag... (stops when she sees Grime) Wait. (points him) You're Grime? (While Grime is shown drinking) The fiercest fighter of the colosseum?
Grime Yep, that's me. You're here for my autograph?
General Yunan Nope, I'm here for your (extends her blades) head.
Grime Well, that took a dark turn.
Sasha (scoffs) Some general you are. Where's your army?
General Yunan (as raises her knives) I had an army once. (cuts the mannequins and 4 trees) (while falling the first 3 trees) They slowed me down. (the last tree falls)
Sasha (while turning) Ooooh-kay, we're (she takes Grime and runs away) leaving now. (Grime grunts)
General Yunan Eh, I'll give them a head start. (takes off her cape) Keeps things interesting.
(As Sasha and Grime run away...)
Grime Just my luck! They sent some psychotic glory hound after us. We'll never... (burps) escape her.
Sasha Like heck we won't. Follow me. (grunts) (jumps down, bounces off 3 mushrooms and jumps the other way) Ha! (looks Grime)
Grime (tries to reach a vine) (straining, panting) Just give me a minute.
Sasha (grunts)
(Sasha returns for Grime and then they continue their escape. They grunt)
Grime Couldn't we take an easier route?
Sasha Maybe if you had trained with me once in a while, you'd be prepared for a situation like this.
Grime (hits a branch and falls: he gets up, growls and breaks the branch) Enough! At least be honest about why you've thrown yourself into your training.
Sasha What are you talking about?
Grime (grunts) (stands up) Hello? It's a distraction. (points her) You're using it to keep your mind off the real reason you're upset.
(Sasha and Grime hear General Yunan approaching and run again.)
Sasha Look, I know why I'm upset. I'm upset because I lost the duel at Toad Tower. A.K.A., the biggest fight of my life.
Grime (chuckles) Oh, please. You're not upset because you lost the fight! You're upset (Sasha stops) because you lost your friend! (points to her) You're upset that Anne stood up to you, and that things between you will never be the same again.
Sasha You don't know what you're talking (runs again) about!
Grime Sasha, look out!
(Grime grabs Sasha by the right arm and she notices that she almost fell through a cataract void.)
Grime Ooh, that's a long way down.
Sasha (while they turn) Looks like our only option is to make a stand.
Grime No, our only option is for you to get out of here.
Sasha What?
Grime She only wants me. Go! Save yourself. Now! Before it's too late. What are you waiting for? Get going! LEAVE ME!
Sasha No! Listen, there's another reason why I've been training so hard. To protect the one person I know I can count on right now. You... You're right. I already lost one friend. I'm not about to lose another.
Grime (flattered) Wow. I did not see that coming.
(General Yunan arrives from a landing, stands up and looks at Sasha and Grime.)
General Yunan Ah! I see you have decided to submit to the great General Yunan, Scourge of the Sand Wars, Defeater of Ragnar the Wretched, the youngest newt ever...
Sasha (interrupts her) Uh, do you have to do this every single time?
General Yunan Honestly, yes. Repetition helps it stick. (she takes a deep breath) (sighs) (talking to Grime) All right, you washed-up slob. Time to go.
Sasha Hey! (as draws her sword) Only I can call him that.
(Sasha is about to attack General Yunan, but she gives him a nudge with her tail.)
Grime Lieutenant! (Sasha bumps into a rock) (sticks out his tongue) Blap! (takes a thick branch and stands guard) If you want me, General, (As Sasha stands up and stands guard) you'll have to fight both of us.
General Yunan Why not? After all, two heads are better than (extends her blades) one.
Sasha Welcome back, Captain.
Grime Thank you, Lieutenant, for reminding me that I've still got something worth fighting for. I'm talking about our friendship. Not sure if you got that.
Sasha I got it. Now come on!
(Sasha and Grime start to fight General Yunan, but she jumps up and kicks Sasha, and then snaps the thick branch at Grime as he fights back.)
Grime Oh, nuts...
General Yunan (gives Grime a kick) (while is about to attack him) You are gonna look good stuffed...
(Sasha kicks General Yunan, she jumps and fights against Sasha. Sasha manages to break the knives of the right glove with her sword.)
General Yunan Well, that can't be good. (Sasha attacks her)
Sasha (screams) Ha! Are you struggling? Didn't think you'd meet your match out here, did you?
(General Yunan grabs Sasha with her tail, she falls down and ends up surrounded on the edge. But Sasha sees Grime and he asks for silence, so Sasha distracts General Yunan.)
Sasha Shoot. (with puppy dog eyes) What did you say your name was again? I forgot.
General Yunan (grunts) I am General Yunan, Scourge of the Sand Wars, Defeater of Ragnar the Wretched and the youngest newt ever to be made... (Grime pushes her off the cliff) (screams)
Grime Hope you can swim!
General Yunan THIS CANNOT BE! I AM THE GENERAL YUNAAAAAN! (ends up in the river)
Sasha Oh, yeah! Well, I'm Sasha Waybright, captain of the cheerleaders, top scorer in Super Dance Fusion, and First Lieutenant to Captain Grime!
Grime And I am Captain Grime, drinker of Bog Grog, grower of beards, and watcher of Suspicion Island!
General Yunan (while she's being carried away by the river) WHAAAT? THOSE TITLES ARE WEAK!
(Sasha and Grime laugh and bump each other on the chests. Grime gives a huge roar/burp.)
Grime I am fired up! Forget retaking the valley, forget serving the kingdom at all. How about you and I raise a frog dang (stomps Sasha's sword into the air and she grabs it) army and storm the capitol? It's high time a toad ruled this world for a change.
Sasha That's what I'm talking about!
Grime But before we take over the world...
Sasha ...You totally want to binge the rest of Suspicion Island.
Grime I really do! (returns to the mill while laughing)
Sasha (After putting her sword away and looking at the scenery) Looks like I've got my own path now, Anne. But it's not over between us... (touches her scar and grins) Not even close.
