The Sword and the Stone The Sparticle Mystery

We're on a race to the Quantum Nexus. To bring back the adults.

Holly found a sword. Looked like our next clue.

It's the fish symbol. The one on the sword is on the stone.

There's a stone missing.

Which is on loan to Michael Ventriman!

What if putting the statue back together creates the Quantum Nexus?

You've been trying to split me and Tia up.

Holly and Serena have got the sword!

How? It was dissolved in the acid bath.

We're ahead of the Sparticles in the race to the Quantum Nexus.

Is this the address? Itchyflax Cottage.

BOTH: Itchyflax Cottage! That's it!

I think we just got lucky. And maybe I did too.

The race to the Quantum Nexus is back on.

THEY CHEER

This is it. Itchyflax cottage!

And the Quantum Nexus is here?

No, just the stone which tells us where the Quantum Nexus is.

No sign of Holly and Serena.

Wait! Those white flowers, they are itchyflax.

-It's high...

-Highly poisonous. We know.

You told us a million times on the way here.

-One sting...

-Can attack the nervous system.

-Causing a rash.

-Dizziness and fever.

BOTH: Damage to eyesight.

And in rare cases, death!

Oh, well sorry if I don't want anyone getting poisoned.

With one exception.

Whoa!

Woooo!

SHE SCREAMS

Pack it in, Rocky!

So anyone see a 2,000-year-old carved stone?

-How about the office?

-We'll check the kitchen.

Go on, Frankie.

OK. Let's sort through this mess.

Leave no stone unturned.

SHE GIGGLES

Aargh.

This is hopeless.

Ventriman wouldn't have just left a priceless artefact lying around,

he'd have locked it away somewhere.

Or used it as a coat hanger.

Rocky!

-You just found it lying there.

-Yes.

It wasn't exactly rocket science.

C'mon, Reese, get translating.

I can't translate these symbols, I don't recognise them.

Hey, look at this, there's a picture of the sword.

It's inside a circle.

Not now, Jeff.

Reese, where's your notebook with the codes?

I don't know, I've lost it. I'll try another way.

-The sword is like a handle, opening something.

-Shh!

You're breaking Reese's concentration!

She's about to decode the location of the Quantum Nexus.

I am not seeing anything.

I wish we had the sword.

-Stop being negative!

-I'm not being negative.

We don't have the sword. It's gone. Let it go, Jeffrey.

Yeah. Let it go, Jeffrey.

Shh!

That flat tyre really cost us. They've got the stone.

Then it's a good job, we've got...

I'm not sure what they are, but I ripped them out

of the Spartivan's engine, so they're not going anywhere.

Even if we get the stone off them, we still need a decoder.

-So do they!

-They've got one. Reese!

It never took you this long to translate the White Horse clue.

Then I saw the symbols as letters, but now it's not working.

'Huen, something's blocking me.'

YELLING

Jeff?

Are you all right, Jeff? What happened?

I heard a noise and I got stung while I was checking it out.

GASPS AND LAUGHS

Yes, I know. I'm the mug who got stung.

But it's only really dangerous if there's an allergic reaction.

Mate, you're having the mother of allergic reactions.

Like you'd know.

I'm having the mother of all allergic reactions.

If Ventriman was growing itchyflax,

he'll have the antidote here for sure.

Jeffrey! What's happened to your face?

-Wicked! You look like a plum.

-Anyone found the honey yet?

-Honey?

-Honey from the honeycup flower.

It's the only antidote to itchyflax stings.

-We didn't know!

-Jeffrey, we didn't mean it!

Quick! Where did you get it?

Buy more honey. Great. Now what?

The honey comes from Mountstone Castle,

maybe there's more there.

But I can't make out the address, it's all blurry.

And now the room's spinning.

Jeffrey!

ENGINE FAILS

The van won't start.

Told you!

Wait, there's something wrong. I think Jeffrey's hurt.

We can't just leave them like this.

What are we going to do? It won't start.

-Serena!

-What's going on?

Jeffrey's been stung by a poisonous plant

and we need to get the antidote, but the van won't start.

Yeah. That's kind of our fault. Holly sabotaged your van.

-ALL: What?!

-Great. Tell them everything!

While you're at it, why don't you offer them

a lift to wherever they need to go.

-This better not be a trick!

-Does that rash look like a trick?

Taking care of our friends is more important than the Quest.

Nothing's more important than the Quest.

We have to get the sword. And we know you have it.

Forget it. We don't have it any more. We bartered it for fuel.

-She's lying.

-It's under her seat.

Oh, no you don't!

And you two, stay out of my head!

-Reese, if you try...

-Don't even think about it

or your mate will get tossed out at the roadside.

And believe me. I will do it.

Right, let's go!

None shall pass!

-Please, it's an emergency.

-Only knights may enter the castle.

What are you doing?

We want to be knights too!

Lower the drawbridge.

-Lower the drawbridge.

-Lowering the drawbridge.

Um...can I have that back, please?

-That depends on Queen Gabby.

-Queen Gabby?

Hurry up! We need to make sure Jeffrey's all right!

This is all our fault for eating the honey.

Try it now.

ENGINE STARTS

THEY CHEER

Wow! This is awesome.

Shh! The Queen!

What is the meaning of this intrusion?

Your Majesty, they say they want to be knights.

Our friend's been poisoned, but you have the antidote,

a special honey made here at the castle.

So why did you claim to want to be knights?

We had to say something or we'd still be outside with the whole

"none shall pass" routine.

You mock us at your peril.

This castle is a haven for the right and the true.

Outside is chaos, in here we have order

Ma'am, this is a remarkable sword. Incredible workmanship.

I've never seen one like it.

Very well.

We shall accept the sword as a tribute to our champion,

the Royal Knight!

What? You can't keep the sword.

BOTH: No. Because it is ours.

Wow! Sorry, not very medieval, but...wow!

Doesn't dissolve in acid, cuts through rock,

it's the thing that will open the Quantum Nexus.

We have to get it!

First dizziness, now fever! Forget the sword, you're burning up!

Without it, everything we've been through will have been for nothing!

I've got an idea.

Your Majesty. I, Sir Sadiq, challengeth for the sword!

Fine, then we challengeth too!

We don't need to challengeth, it's ours!

There's only one way to settle this. A tournament.

A trial by combat to decide who wins the sword in the stone.

Yes!

I'm liking this game, Clarent. Have a Castle Point.

We need to get Jeff the honey antidote or he'll die.

Take your friend to the beekeeper. And then...prepare to fight!

This isn't fair! The sword is ours!

Don't disobey the Queen or you'll end up in the stocks.

Why do you all let her boss you around like that?

I love being a knight. It's the life I chose.

And she's the Queen, so she rules with an iron first.

Speaking of which, I've got something for you.

I'll do what I can but we've got very little honey at the moment.

Most of it went to the Royal Knight.

I'm sure you all have great fun here, but this isn't a game.

Please. We need honey from the honeycup flower or he won't make it!

I'll go and pull the honey we have.

Nice dresses, guys.

Is this the right place for the fancy dress party?

-Get him!

-Run!

I'm sorry, but this is all we have.

The Royal Knight has a very sweet tooth.

Perks of being a royal favourite and a champion.

You lot really take the whole knight thing seriously.

Too seriously.

The power's gone right to Gabby's head. She's the Queen.

And now she gives Alex, the Royal Knight, all the best jobs,

and all the fun.

Me, I just get stung a lot.

JEFFREY GROANS

That's it?!

Sorry. I just hope it's enough to bring down your temperature

and stop you going into shock.

He isn't any better at all! We need more honey!

It takes days for the bees to make even a tiny bit of honey.

And I can't get them to work any faster.

HE MOANS What's happening?!

He's going into shock.

TRUMPETS SOUND

It's time for the tournament! Where's Rocky?

We need to put him in the recovery position. Help me.

Come on, Jeff. Stay with me.

CROWD CHEERING

You go, Tia. Me and Huen will make sure Jeffrey is all right.

Yeah, right. Like I'm going to do that!

BOTH: Go!

Jeff, I'm going now. I promise I'll bring back the sword.

I've got an idea.

Is it the same as my idea?

-Yeah.

-Come on then.

We found them sneaking in.

Your Majesty, they're part of my tribe. They mean no harm.

I'll start meaning harm in a minute,

if this walking tin can doesn't get off me.

Kneel before the Queen and beg pardon for intruding.

-HE SCOFFS

-I've got a better idea. You kneel.

-To the stocks!

-But we need him for the tournament!

Bang goes their best fighter!

When I get out, I'm coming after you with a can opener.

Err, excuse me. What's that?

Knights often lost hands or arms in battle,

but with that attachment they could still fight.

It's called an iron fist.

It's called an unfair advantage, you mean.

And being born with two hands isn't?

Umm, ladies, the tournament hasn't started yet!

-Where's Jeffrey? Is he OK?

-Huen and Reese are taking care of him.

The beekeeper has to wait for the bees to make more honey.

Tia! I can't believe you left him.

He made me promise to get the sword. I'm doing this for him.

We're willing the bees to work together to make more honey.

Unbelievable. It's as if the bees knew we needed more honey.

You're amazing.

Me and Reese are inseparable. Together for ever.

Until we bring our parents back.

Hey look! There's that honey-guzzling Royal Knight.

BEES BUZZ

BOTH: We don't like him...

THEY HUM

Prepare for the joust! First you will fight each other.

The winner will face the Royal Knight.

Boo!

If you're knocked down, you're out. No poking, gouging or tripping up.

Fair fight, please.

These are our steeds? It's ridiculous.

-Afraid you'll break a nail when I take you down?

-Try me.

Ladies, to your sides.

This is stupid.

TRUMPETS SOUND

Fight!

Come on, Holly!

Come on, Tia, keep going, come on. Go on, Tia!

THEY SCREAM

-You are both eliminated!

-Get me up!

Maybe no-one will earn the right to challenge the Queen's Champion.

Don't count on it.

Reese and Huen made the bees work faster.

-To produce more honey.

-The beekeeper's collecting it now!

Fantastic. Really?

Get back and look after Jeff.

And tell Reese to take another look at the stone.

It's no good. I can't.

I need my notebook but I think I lost it at Watermint Mill.

-Chill.

-I can't chill.

Huen, if I can't remember how to decode this, then the Quest...

Well, it's over and we'll never be able to see our parents.

'But we'd still have each other.'

What did you say? I mean, think?

Nothing. Try again.

You fight on the beam. Last one standing faces the Royal Knight.

Go!

Sorry. I'm not falling for that.

THEY GRUNT AND GROAN

Thanks for slipping me the Ventridude's address.

No idea what you're talking about.

I don't get it. Why is someone like you teamed up with Holly?

What do you mean, "someone like me?"

Holly, she's spiteful and angry and...Holly.

But you, you're...kind of cool.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

It's not flattery. I like you.

A lot.

Got ya!

-Your winner!

-CROWD CHEER

You've got a bit of time to get your breath back and then

-it's Sir Sadiq versus the Royal Knight.

-Yes!

You're no use to me if I can't trust you to focus on our mission.

-I am focused!

-Yeah, on flirting with Sadiq!

You stay with the sword. I'll go find the stone.

Hey, Clarent!

Thanks for this, even if it didn't work out how I wanted.

You're welcome, Lady Holly.

Clarent's not your real name, is it? No parent would be that mean.

Actually, it's Josh, but that didn't sound very knightly,

so I named myself after King Arthur's sword.

King Arthur's sword was called Excalibur, everyone knows that.

That was his sword of war. The Clarent was his sword of peace.

I live by the code of chivalry.

Whatever.

Clarijosh, what's in there?

-The old dungeons.

-Now you're talking.

Was it true what you just said,

or were you just trying to win the fight?

Both.

How about a tour of the castle?

We're busy.

I want to!

We have an armoury collection...

It's also where we keep our sweets.

Strawberry laces?

Of course!

I've got something to tell you too.

Close your eyes.

Oi!

So long, loser!

Serena! Serena!

Holly! It's a trap.

Sadiq! Sadiq!

I've seen how you and Reese work together.

She's decoded the Stone, so you can read her mind

and tell me what it says.

Speak up or face the consequences.

Steady on, my Lady...

Tia! Holly's taken Huen!

What? Where? Why?

In there.

Is the stone safe? I'll go after Holly.

Wait! It's all coming back - I can see the letters again.

It's all falling into place as if something's unlock...

No. Get out of the way. You cannot control US!

What are you talking about? Reese?

Get out of the way. We are stronger than you.

We are one and we are strong!

Stay away from me, you freaks!

Well...

That was weird. Even by your standards.

You both OK?

I've got to get back to Jeff. You go to Sadiq.

Hey guys.

Jeffrey!

How are you feeling?

Better...but my eyes are blurry.

Everything's out of focus!

I was worried about that.

Listen, it's possible there's been some damage to...

It's sticky.

It's...

honey?

Of course! From when your girlfriend kissed your eyes.

I don't have a girlfriend.

Don't be so sure.

I'm just glad you're OK.

We'll talk when you've got your strength back.

I can talk now. Ti, I've been miserable without you.

I'm never letting us split up again.

Where is Sir Sadiq?

He's...just coming.

I've taken care of Sadiq.

Your Majesty -

if the challenger is not here, I will take his place!

No way! Sadiq is a Sparticle -

one of us should face the Royal Knight.

The Royal Knight will choose a challenger from the Sparticle tribe.

Great - get me out of here!

Not you...her!

What! That's not fair.

Pick on someone your own size.

She fights, or you forfeit.

Let the battle for the sword begin!

FANFARE

THEY HUM

We are one and we are strong and we will defeat you...

MUSIC: "Ride Of The Valkyries"

-Yes!

-Yes!

THEY CHEER

Ow, that really hurts.

That doesn't count.

The bees stung me. I lost my balance!

Tell them, Gabby! I've been stung.

Majesty, We must live by our code.

No, We live by MY code.

Arrest them!

Arrest them all!

Run, Reese!

Where did they go?

Gotcha!

SHOUTING

You get in the van, I'll get Jeffrey.

-We have to go. Now!

-Whoa!

He's better, but he's still too weak to stand, never mind to walk.

Well, he won't have to.

VAN STARTS

Come on, quickly!

Get up. Call yourself a royal knight?

You can't even stay on the beam. You're useless.

This is the Queen and the Royal Knight's quarrel - not ours.

Go, leave!

Some Queen you are. And that's for you!

SHE WAILS

The Queen who breaks the code pays the price.

Farewell, my Lady Holly.

A favour from my lady.

Holly. We've got to catch the Sparticles and retake the sword.

Such adventures.

So this sword will unlock the Quantum Nexus?

Uh-huh. I think that's what the Ventriman sketch means.

Look.

And look! This sketch shows how everything else fits together.

When we put the statue and the sword together,

and the sun shines onto the key...

We'll unlock the Quantum Nexus!

I think so.

If the Stone of Artos tells us where the rest of the statue is.

I could see it before, but now it's gone again.

I don't know why.

I do. Stop the van!

What are you doing?

I saw Huen taking over your mind in the castle.

It's been him blocking your memory all along.

She's right.

I can see it in your mind.

But why?

All my life I've been picked on, treated like a freak,

but since I found you I've been stronger. WE'VE been stronger.

We can do anything, go anywhere.

But I want to go home with my Mum and Daddy.

You don't need them. You just need...

-BOTH:

-To be together. Forever. As one.

Reese!

-BOTH:

-There is no Reese. No Huen...

Everybody help her!

There is only We! There is only We!

There is only We! There is only We!

Reese... Reese... Come back!

NOOOO!

Huen. We're too powerful together.

It's not good for me, or my tribe.

Then I'll keep on looking for others like us.

I'll make my own tribe.

Your notebook. I took it back at Watermint Mill.

I'm sorry.

It's OK, Huen.

Bye, Reese.

Bye, Huen.

-"Good luck, Reese.

-Bee

-good!"

I can read the symbols now.

"Find a fallen star beside a mouth of water

"near to the rock that speaks..."

We're not far from the Fallester Lake.

Could that be the "mouth of water"?

There are markings on the map for iron age settlements...

And look - it links up with the River Artos!

Let's do it.

Where did they go?

"Find a fallen star beside a mouth of water

"near a rock that speaks..."

"We're not far from Fallester Lake."

Thanks. You want to ride with us?

You could be useful.

I might be weird, but I'm not stupid.

I don't trust either of you.

Especially her.

Eat dust!

We didn't steal anything!

Let's break them.

You've got the wrong tribe.

If you don't let me and my friends go, I'll make you.

Do you think that's a good idea after what happened with Huen?

-Aargh!

-Aargh!

-Come on!

-Oi!

Rocky, I can't stand this...

I messed up, Tia. This is my way of putting things right.
