The Great Story/Transcript

(Crocodile Swamp - throne room)

Crawley and Crug: *try to cheer up Cragger by dancing.*

Crooler: brother, I have something that'll cheer you up

Cragger: forget it Crooler, I'm not attacking the lions! it's not their fault our parents are gone.

Crooler: the lions? *scoffs.* I just wanted to cheer you up with this amazing plant. *blows in Cragger's face the gas of a dangerous mind controlling plant called the persuader plant.* of course if you did destroy the lions, I'm sure our parents would be proud

Cragger: *sniffs the gas and his eyes turn red.* you're right. I know what we have to do now, *puts on the crown.* DESTROY THE LIONS!

Crawley: huh?!

Title: Legends of Chima, The Great Story

(Lion temple - outside - city steps)

Lagravis: *walks to Laval who is sitting down on the steps.* have you heard from Cragger?

Laval: not since that night.

Lagravis: *puts his hand on Laval's shoulder.* be patient with him son. he lost both his parents, and he's now king, with a whole tribe to run.

Laval: yeah yeah, yeah. I'll try reaching out to him again, if he shows

Lagravis: that would be noble. *they both stand up and walk towards the temple.* as lions, we must maintain the peace and balance of Chima. it is our sacred duty, given to us by nature itself

Laval: uh oh, I feel the "great story" coming on again..

Lagravis: the great story can never be told enough son, you should know that

Laval: yes dad

Lagravis: we weren't always the advanced and sophisticated creatures we are now. once many, many centuries ago, there were no buildings, or vehicles, or tribes in Chima, just jungles and plains, and creatures that walked on all fours. one day, the sky opened up, and blessed the land, pulling mount Cavora from the heart of Chima. The water that flowed from this mountain was different, powerful, transformative, full of a life force we now call, Chi. those who drank from it became smarter, more complex, evolved. however, some in Chima chose not to embrace the Chi, they stayed simple, and pure. vanishing into the outlands never to be seen again. these creatures are now known as the Legend Beasts, it is said they will return one day when Chima needs them most. but few here believe they even exist anymore. mount Cavora still supplies us with Chi today, but it is collected here, in the lion temple.

(in the lion temple.)

Lagravis: where it forms into powerful orbs, thanks to the special minerals in the sacred pool

Laval: yeah dad, I've that great story like a hundred times and I've gotta say, *grabs his sword.* it's more like a pretty "good" story rather then a great one

Lagravis: hush Laval. respect.

Laval: *tosses his sword up and catches it.* hey I'm just saying, it could use a better ending and a little more action, what do you think?

Lagravis: I think you need to grow up.

Laval: *swings his sword.* ho! hi! ha!

(lion temple - outside)

* Eris, Gorzan, Rogon, Woriz and Razar make their way on speedorz towards the temple*

Lagravis: and here they come.

Laval: awesome! but I- I can't see Cragger..? can you dad?

Lagravis: *starts walking down the stairs with Laval.* he will be here for chi son. remember, as the first to drink that chi, we lions are its sacred guardians, ensuring that it is shared fairly by all. *at the middle of the area, where there's a whole load of Chi ready to be given away.* once a month, we distribute all the orbs to every tribe in Chima

Rogon: *is given some Chi.* sweet! got me some Chi! tonight's gonna be a good night!

Lagravis: (the crocs arrive) even those tribes we might not agree with.

Laval: *walks over to Crug.* hey, is Cragger coming today?

Crug: you mean king Cragger!

Crawley: *approaches.* yeah, you'll see the king soon enough you will! *chuckles sinisterly and goes into the crowd with Crug.*

Laval: what was all that about?

Lagravis: *approaches.* who knows. I've never understood the crocs, and I suppose they don't "get" us either.

Longtooth: excuse me Lagravis, but it's time to bring out the golden orb

* 2 lion guards bring a giant orb of gold to the middle and set it on a small perch.*

Lagravis: ah yes, there's always 1 extra powerful golden chi, every month. but we don't give this orb away.

Laval: WE RACE FOR IT! YAS!

Lagravis: welcome citizens of Chima!

* cheering.*

Lagravis: to our monthly race for the golden chi. for centuries the golden chi has chosen a different contest each month so that no one tribe shall have an advantage at winning it! what will it choose this time?

* all the riders get ready on their speedorz*

Lagravis: a torture course of obstacles? or the ruthless race of ramps? ah, it is settled. on the joust of jungle judgement. riders of Chima, safeties and blunters on! anyone caught using unsecured weapons will be immediately disqualified!

Leonidas: first up, Laval vs Gorzan!

* fair and square Laval pushes Gorzan off the road.*

Gorzan: *going flying.* BUMMER!

Laval: good joust! tilt your speedor in a little more next time and you might just get me

Gorzan: groovy!

Leonidas: Rogon vs Bladvic!

Rogon: *eliminates Bladvic.* yeah! take that!

* Rhino's cheering.*

Bladvic: *snoring.*

Leonidas: Rogon vs Laval!

* Laval wins making the Rhino's surprised and the lions cheer.*

Leonidas: Razar vs Woriz!

Razar: hehehehe

* Woriz grabs a spear and throws it at Razar's speedor, unfairly winning the round.*

Laval: too bad Cragger's not here, this is his best event! he'd wipe out everyone and then it'd just be me and him, like always.

Eris: except today when it's you and that sneaky wolf Woriz!

Leonidas: final joust! to determine the winner of the golden chi! Laval the lion vs Woriz the wolf!

Woriz: I never liked you, Laval!

Laval: really? well you're really gonna hate me now, when I send you flying off this track!

Woriz: bring it on!

* the 2 charge towards each other, Woriz upgrading the wings on his speedor."

Laval: hey! not fair! *goes another route and bounces off the ground right into Woriz using the same looking spear Woriz used."

Woriz: *falls into a thorn bush howling and comes out with some of his fur ripped off.* huh? *covers his fur.*

Rogon: his fur was fried! he's like a wolf in sheep's clothing, if the sheep was naked!

* while the Rhino's laugh Laval brings Woriz a part of his cape to hide his nakedness.*

Woriz: *pushes Laval away.* get away from me cheater!

Laval: what?! I didn't cheat, your the one with the crazy spear! there's no way I could get past that!

Woriz: grr! I know! *2 wolves come with big green leafs to hide Woriz.* and next time lion you won't be so lucky, I swear it!

Lagravis: *holds out the golden chi.* it appears we have a winner!

* Laval comes riding in on his speedor and bangs a golden circle. then going to get his reward.*

Cragger: but it only appears that way!

* gasps from the crowd.*

Laval: Cragger?

Cragger: have you forgotten your precious rules lions? only the rider who leaves no opponent standing can claim the golden chi!

Lagravis: it's too late for that Cragger. you need to be here at the start for that rule to apply.

Cragger: ugh! so you're saying the "great lions" would rather hide behind a technicality then face a foe?!

Laval: let me joust him dad. I beat him, at least half the time I face him. *walks towards his speedor.*

Lagravis: rules are rules Laval.

Laval: *stops and turns around.* but dad!

Cragger: what's it gonna be Laval? a little joust for old time sake? just me, you, and destiny

Lagravis: not here Laval. *holds onto Laval's arm.* you must respect our rules, without them we are nothing.

Cragger: well then! if you won't joust me, I'll just find someone who will. *looks at Eris.*

* Eris immediately knows what he meant and tries her best to escape but her speedor doesn't start, making her freak out while Cragger heads straight for her*

Laval: *runs to Eris.* NOO!

Cragger: *licks his lips.* I like chicken wings

* Eris still can't start her engine so she's left to just watch Cragger coming right towards her, Laval speeding in on his speedor.*

Cragger: now it's only me and you Eris! *chuckles.*

Eris: *screams.*

* Laval barges into Cragger and Cragger makes a rough stop into a hard piece of rock. he tries to escape but Laval goes after him.*

Laval: CRAGGER! YOU CAN'T JUST HURT ERIS AND GET AWAY WITH IT!

Eris: *flies above to see where they're going.* oh no, they're heading for the Falling Jungle!

Gorzan: oh, that place is craazy.

(The Falling Jungle)

* the 2 enter the Falling Jungle, a place where everything surrounding you literally falls.*

Cragger: (nowhere to be found.) you may know the Fangs old friend, but the Falling Jungle is one of my new favourite stomping grounds! emphasis on STOMP!

Laval: I'll beat you anywhere, anytime Cragger! and now's the time!

* Laval speeds up but runs into a tree that just falls down.*

Cragger: *appears.* hah! watch out for that tree! *marches towards Laval.* I'd much bury you in a cave like you did to my parents!

Laval: Cragger! that's not what happened!

Cragger: *spins around his spear.* tell that to the spear lion!

Laval: *grabs onto a vine and uses it to escape.* woohoo! okay, what beats a croc to the ground? a flying lion! *flys in and pushes Cragger away with a kick, dodging the croc's spear.* by the way, you missed!

* Cragger rushes towards him and picks his spear up on the way.*

Laval: we've got to stop meeting like this Cragger.

Cragger: fine with me croc hater

Laval: hey, come on, I'm sorry you lost your parents, but that was all an accident which you caused..

Cragger: *groans and slams his spear on Laval's sword.* you could've saved them, if you just given me that chi!

Laval: *pushes Cragger away and battles him.* I broke the rules for you once Cragger, never again.

* Cragger falls but uses another vine to get back up.*

Laval: surrender now Cragger! I don't want to fight you.

Cragger: too bad the feelings not neutral. *cuts down the part of the tree Laval was on.*

Laval: (while falling.) Craggggeeeer! *lands with the tree on top of him.*

Cragger: *lands on the tree.* whoops! looks like another accident!

Laval: Cragger, don't do this!

Cragger: so old friend.. *raises up his spear.* this is for my parents, and for the chi, and for all of Chima! *before he can cut down Laval, his spear is forced out of his hand by a flying mace.* HEY! WHO SNAKED MY SPEAR!

Eris: *catches her weapon.* a little birdy did! with some big metal eggs! *throws weapon.*

* Cragger dodges the attacks.*

Gorzan: dude you got some tree on your shirt. *lifts up the tree and frees Laval.* let me help you there

Eris: Laval, are you okay?

Laval: *stands up.* yeah sure. I'm fine

Eris: we'll get you Cragger! you can't hide forever!

Cragger: (while running.) oh don't worry. hidings the last thing I plan to do.

(Crocodile Swamp - outside)

* the wolf pack reaches the Crocodile Swamp.*

Cragger: *approaches Woriz who is still hiding his fur.* Woriz, so good to see you! the fur is healing well I see?

Woriz: *growls.* enough with the small talk Cragger. just tell me how I can destroy Laval and the lions! no one mocks a wolf like they did.

Cragger: okay then, down to bussiness. we attack the lions during their next age of becoming ceremony, the ravens will be joining us as well!

Woriz: they hate the lions too?

Cragger: no, we're just paying them, a few trinkets and treasures and those birds will do anything!

(Raven Town)

* a heap of Ravens crowing.*

Razar: hey! listen to this deal! I suckered the crocs out of their trinkets and treasure!

* Ravens cheering.*

Razar: all we have to do is help them attack the lion temple.

* the crowd chats out of a little bit of rejection and cautiousness.*

Razar: TRINKETS AND TREASURE!

* Ravens cheering.*

(Lion Temple - throne room)

Lagravis: Laval, what are you doing? your age of becoming ceremony has started. this is a big day for you.

Laval: yeah I know. my first Chi! becoming a true lion warrior! totally ready

Lagravis: and your harness, did you lose it?

Laval: my harness.. n-no of course not, I know exactly where it is

(Lion Temple - Laval's room)

Laval: *looking for the harness.* ugh! where did I put my harness?! today is not the day to do this!

(Crocodile Swamp - outside)

Cragger: TODAY IS THE DAY WE DO THIS!

* crowd cheering.*

Cragger: TODAY IS THE DAY WE BECOME THE TRUE MASTERS OF CHIMA! TODAY IS THE DAY WE DESTROY TH-

* a bird called Plovar enters Cragger's mouth and starts pecking at his teeth.*

Cragger: *spits Plovar out.* what are you doing Plovar?!

Plovar: why I'm working on your fabulous smile! did you forget our teeth cleaning appointment Craggy-wag?

Cragger: (muffled voice because of Plovar being in his mouth.) umm..

Plovar: (laughter coming from Woriz and another wolf.) how are you gonna keep those pearly whites polished without little ol' Plovar here making them pretty huh?

Cragger: (muffled voice.) it's not a good time Plovar!

Plovar: like there's anything more important then the glorious grin you greet the world with everyday. brother you need some school then the fine art of dental hygene

Cragger: (muffled voice.) um.. is there any chance we can re-schedule?

Plovar: fine. it's your teeth so I'll see you then. *leaves.* continue with your- whatever it is you're doing

Cragger: OKAY! NOW, LET'S DESTROY THE LIONS!

* crowd cheering.*

Plovar: he is such a sweet boy, he's just, misunderstood

(flashback from last episode.)

Lagravis: defend the temple, protect the Chi!

Laval: get away from my chi! no!

* outside when they were jousting.*

Laval: woohoo!

* finding out it was Cragger.*

Laval: Cragger, is that you?

(at the same siege in the present.)

* the battle rages on, Laval having to push aside a few enemies.*

Lagravis: *roars to the distance as a signal for backup from all the other tribes.*

(Eagle Spire - outside)

* Eagles squacking.*

(Gorilla Forest)

* Gorilla's humming and doing some yoga looking meditation but then they hear the roar.*

Gorzan: the great mallow will have to wait. the lions need our help.

(Lion Temple - outside)

* the eagles and gorilla's make it to the battle, Gorzan taking on the responsibility to keep enemies out of the Temple and does a great job at it by flinging 4 wolves right back down the stairs.*

(The Forever Rock)

Cragger: what are you waiting for..? finish it already.

Laval: Cragger it doesn't have to be like this. we used to be friends.

Cragger: *stands up.* until you buried my parents.

Laval: all that was an accident! how many times do we have to go over this..?

Cragger: *backs Laval up a little bit.* and you did nothing to save them! YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN ME THAT CHI!

Laval: no I couldn't, it's not mine to give, it belongs to all of Chima.

Cragger: uggh! here we go again! I've heard the great story too, about Mount Cavora! and the legend beasts! and your need to protect Chima its own Chi!

Laval: we shaare the chi, to keep Chima balanced! peace and harmony.

Cragger: *lies on his stomach.* look around you Laval, was that peace and harmony *stands up.* you saw outside your lion temple?!

Laval: no! it was you attacking us!

Cragger: that's right! and we'll attack you again! so forget about peace and harmony now unless you surrender!

Laval: what?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Cragger: you don't have a choice!

Laval: I'd say you're the one with no choice.

Cragger: fine then. do it! show me no mercy! I would show none to you.

Laval: *does a war cry and goes for a strike, but his sword's tip ends up scratching a single point onto the forever rock.*

Cragger: what? what?! what are you doing?!

Laval: scoring one for peace and harmony, *puts his sword back behind his back.* you mouthy mud lover.

Cragger: what?! but you can't just leave me here! I'M YOUR ENEMY!

Laval: no you're not. *walks away to the side.* you're an old pal who forgot who is true friends are, in time you'll come around ￼

Cragger: *growls angrily.*

Laval: *picks up a chi.* finally, my first chi! *is tackled over by Cragger.* what?! *they spin round and round sideways.* NOT AGAIN!

Cragger: *pins Laval.* when will you learn? *grabs Laval's arm.* I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND! *throws him in the water.*

Laval: *gets back above water but can barely breathe.* Cragger! old friend..! throw! *coughs.* me a fine!

Cragger: *gathers his belongings and goes to see Laval.* are you serious?! what part of "I'm not your friend and I'd show you no mercy" did you not understand? you always were a lousy swimmer. *leaves.*

* Laval can barely keep his breath and eventually sinks back down.*

(Lion Temple - outside)

* the battle's turned to the attackers favour, Crawley and Crug celebrating their near victory as everything is in total chaos while Longtooth and Lagravis are still on the battlefield surrounded.*

Longtooth: even with the eagles and gorillas, I'm not sure we can hold on much longer sir.

Lagravis: we must. without us, Chima shall perish.

* the 2 lions are dog piled on by a heap of enemy troops.*

(the Forever Rock)

* in the water, Laval lies floating and unconscious. later on he's seen back on land without an explanation on how he is until a 4 legged actual modern day lion is seen by him. this creature being the lion legend beast itself."

Laval: *wakes up coughing out water, then staring at the legend beast.* no way. *stands up.*

(the Lion temple - woods)

Cragger: arrgg! how goes it?

Crooler: their allies have slowed us a bit, but it won't be long until the lion defenses crumble completely. and you? did you deal with Laval?

Cragger: *the effects of the persuader ware off.* oh no! Laval! Crooler I think i've made a terrible mistake! *is put under Crooler's control again.* don't worry, we won't be seeing Laval ever again!

Crooler: *gasps in fear.*

* in the distance, the 2 crocodile siblings along with everyone else bare witness when out of the sun came Laval riding on top of the lion legend beast itself.*

lion legend beast: *roars.*

Razar: ah! holy wazoly! I must be seeing things, is that a, legend beast?!

Gorzan: woah!

Woriz: *gets off of Lagravis.* that's impossible! legend beasts don't even exist! or do they..?

* the eyes of every carved animal on Mount Cavora glows blue.*

* every animal bows to the legend beast.*

lion legend beast: *roars.*

Cragger: what's gotten into everyone? Crooler! you too?

Crooler: I've never seen a legend beast.. I've only heard the great story.. *blows in Cragger's face her flower's gas once again.*

Cragger: *grunts.* and? it's just a story! and they're just another creature! 4 legs, instead of 2, they're no match for us! *grabs a chi from his bag.* and our chi. *plugs the chi without going completely berserk, charging towards the beast.* I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT A REAL LEGEND LOOKS LIKE BEAST!

* Cragger stands no chance for the legend beast when he's simply slapped all the way into the walls of the lion temple, even creating a crack, sliding down onto solid ground while his tribe raises their weapons against the beast.*

lion legend beast: *roars at the crocodile tribe and makes them terrified.*

Laval: *walks over to the chi.* I believe this belongs to me. *plugs it.*

* Cragger jumps at Laval but is punched back to where he just was.*

Laval: stay down Cragger! it's over.

Cragger: *attacks again but is put in the dirt.* ugh, fine! I surrender... *stands up.* but this was so not fair! you have the chi and the legend beast! what do I have?!

Laval: you have about 10 seconds to get your troops out of here. *counts down and gets to 6 while Cragger's entire army retreats.*

Cragger: you know, this isn't over!

Laval: and you know you only have 5 seconds left. 4, 3

Cragger: huh?! *retreats with the rest of his troops.*

Laval: 2, and, he's gone.

* cheering from the ally tribes.*

Lagravis: *approaches Laval.* you could've completely destroyed him y'know?

Laval: yeah, I know dad. the chi gave me that power, but it also gave me the strength to set him free instead

Lagravis: *touches Laval's shoulder.* today son, you really have become a true lion warrior. for Chima (echoes)!

lion legend beast: *roars and exits the area, knowing his job is done, for now.*

Eris: where's the legend beast going?

Laval: don't know. but I'm sure he'll be back, when we need him most. just like the great story says

Eris: the great story? but I thought you only said that was soo boring?

Laval: nah! it just needed a better ending, and now, it has that.

* some more cheering.*

* to end off the episode, the legend beast walks into the sunset.*
