- You are safe now!
Oh, I think not.
[grunting]
- Ahh!
- Niko!
- [growling]
- [gasping]
- My sword!
- Not anymore.
The age of Nar Est
has begun.
- [evil laugh]
- It can't end like this.
I failed Lyra.
I failed everyone.

Your daily report,
Lord.
Get on with it.
The marsh monkeys
are no longer fouling
your statues,
and the sky snails
sing only your name.
Meh. Somehow I imagined
enjoying this more.
All this
indescribable power.
In the end,
it's a huge distraction
from my turning princesses
into monsters time.
Shadows take you.
They already have.
[chuckles]
Perhaps I leave you hanging
for 768 years,
like your meddling
left me hanging.
Or would that be
too cruel?
Answer me!
Niko: Nar Est!
Niko!
Oh, did you hear that?
My subjects
are coming to grovel
without being forced.
[chuckles] I feel
a little better already.
Niko: Show yourself!
They're not very
polite about it.
Lord, that's not
a bunch of grovelers.
What? Oh,
the little champion is back.
And he's brought himself
an army.
I have one of those, too.
Rasper, dispatch
the night troopers,
and get them off my lawn!
[screeching]
Now or never.

Well?
Let's hear it.
I speak for
all the people of
this land, Nar Est.
We will suffer your evil
no longer!
That's right,
you big bully.
Oh, really?
And how do you
plan to stop me?
Like this.
Fire!
[screeching]
[rumbling]
Ohh! I just put that up.
[gasping]

The heroes of Carondolet
fight through me!
[groaning]
I'll say this,
the runt puts on a show.
[sighs, grunts]
- Need a hand?
- [gasps] Mandok.
How did you get here?
I scrabbled down,
and I am not
a habitual scrabbler.
You've been hiding
in the volcano
this whole time?
Right. On the run,
living in fear.
Days without food,
sleep or loving hands
to tuck me in at night.
My whole life I've been
preparing for this.
Now, stand back.
I have just the thing.
- Is that a feather?
- A Firebat feather.
Never store one
in a metal container.
I see a little spark
in there.
It moved!
Wait. That's my eye.
[grunting]
[evil laugh]
Oh, havoc. He's going to
smash them all to pieces.

Fools! You have
angered Nar Est,
and you will suffer
the penalty!

Let me finish!
Oh, havoc.
That'll teach you to
lob steam balls at me.
Now, a little of this--
[grunting]
A little of that--
[screaming]
And a whole lot of this!
[screaming]
Hmm. I'm still
missing something.
Of course. Antlers!
[grunting]
[gasping]
This does not look good,
Commodore.
Never give up, Niko.
We're all
in this together now.
You shouldn't have
come back, stripling.
Surrender!
Never!
Ahh!
[grunting]
Then I'll destroy you,
your army,
then all their lands.
[screaming]
Ay! Better to have nothing
than to be ruled by you.
[cheering]
What?! I command you
to fear me!
[blows raspberry]

Do you hear them?
My friends give me strength.
Even at this darkest hour.
Aww. Then you can all
go down together!

Oh, you big,

Come on!
The fight's downhill.

Not much of a champion
without your weapon.
My weapon.
My weapon!
Hi-yah!
[grunting]
Niko. No!
It's okay.
I've got this.
No one can challenge me!
Niko: Nar Est!
Least of all, you.
[roaring]
[screaming]
Victory is mine!
[evil laugh]
You are wrong.
And so was I.
No.
The weapon does not make
the champion.
The champion
makes the weapon!
- [screaming]
- Niko: I am the weapon!
I am Niko!
And this is my
sword of light!
[all exclaiming]
I'm here to free
all people.
How did you do that?
And defeat you
forever!
[grunting]
Hyper strike!
[grunting]
But that's impossible!
[screaming]
You had no shard!
[grunting]
This isn't fair.
Darkness be gone!

[gasping]
Keep away from me!
[cheering]
[clamoring]
[grunting]
Flicker. Lyra. Mandok!
[trilling]
Niko, that was amazing.
Truly.
But we must return to
the curs-ed volcano.
Victory is at hand.
But how?
Even with your sword,
Nar Est is too powerful
in there.
Nar Est has
unknowingly shown me
his greatest weakness,
and I will use it to win!
♪♪
- [laughing]
- Whoa!
[screaming]
Lyra, you must help them.
Be careful, Niko.
We'll be back
as soon as we can.
[whooshing]
Rasper, where are you?
I-- [groans]
Uh, this is embarrassing.
[groans]
Here's the plan:
You'll distract the little runt
when he comes in--
[screeching]
And I'll hit him
from behind
with this sinister sword
of darkness!
Do you even know how to
use this sword, sire?
Must you question everything?
Nar Est,
I have returned to defeat you
once and for all!
So prepare to be defeated
by my defeating plan
of defiance!
Rasper: [screeches]
Hey, over here!
Distraction time.

[grunting]
I'm coming, Niko!
[grunting]
Hah! Hahh!
Huhh!
You are a mighty sorcerer,
but a terrible warrior.
[grunting]
All right, you got me.
I've never been
much of a fighter.
But in this place,
dear Niko,
I reign supreme.
I draw my power from
the well of darkness itself!
Yes.
And that is why I have not
returned to battle you,
evil Nar Est.
Now I'm confused.
Do you have any idea what
this kid is talking about?
[grunts]
I dunno.
When last I was here,
you made your
greatest mistake;
the mistake that will be
your undoing.
Can I get a hint here?
I will defeat you
by banishing
the very source of
your power
at its source!
To victory!

I have thought much about you
since we last met.
My true enemy!
Darkness:
Many have called upon
the light to drive me away,
but the darkness
always returns in time.
- One cannot exist
without the other.
- [gasping] Ahh!
Hahh!

Darkness:
Our battle is eternal.
[grunting]
Darkness: Nar Est
was hungry for power,
so he summoned me
to do his bidding.
[straining]
[screaming]
Darkness:
Now he serves me instead.
Through Nar Est's
creatures,
I've been given
a glimpse of this world.
It is most inviting.
But I'll need some help
coming fully into this
mortal realm.
Perhaps you can
serve me, too.
Not this day.
Not ever!

Apparently not.

you played with forces
you didn't understand.

Thank you,

Lyra was right to put

You are most welcome.

Creatures!
A buttermonk and

Do they bite?
Not on this side.
I've got a loose filling.
Welcome, welcome.
This is all
very disorienting.
Uh, tell me, princess,
what became of Nar Est?
It's kind of ironic,
actually.
He's most conveniently
trapped for eternity.
