Maya and the Three

Cha-chung!

Long, long ago, when magic turned the world,

in a time some cannot remember, but our hearts will never forget,

in a kingdom past the ferocious pumas of the Golden Mountains...

...just above the deadly skulls

of the Jungle Lands...

...and just below the magical roosters of Luna Island...

...resting above an ancient secret lake,

was the legendary Kingdom of Teca.

There, the ancients told of a great prophecy,

that a Mighty Eagle ...

... and three courageous jaguars ...

...would one day vanquish the dark lords of the underworld!

But know this,

though prophecies may give hope,

the battle will still be fought...

...for victory rides

on the shoulders of heroes!

Look! It's the Teca Eagle!

Mm-hmm!

Jaguars, did you bring the package?

On my command, we engage. Ready?

Uno, dos...

- ¡Tres! - ¡Tres!

Happy Day of Coronation, Maya!

Huh?

Hey, uh, perhaps a little louder.

Happy Day of Coronation, Maya!

Lance, go!

Beloved sister, Maya,

your brother Lance dove into the Cursed Ocean,

narrowly escaped the sea beast, and brought you the Golden Pearl!

- Huh? - Daggers, go!

Move aside.

Your brother Daggers invaded a burning pirate ship,

fought the nefarious Bandit Queen...

...and stole her jeweled earring!

Ha!

- Aw. - Shield, go!

Amateurs.

Your most-courageous brother Shield went deep into the Cursed Forest,

outran a deadly avalanche of doom,

and found you...

...this majestic turquoise bird!

Oh!

Behold its majestic majesty!

Ahem.

One,

you're all late.

But, mi amor...

And two...

- Oh my gods! - A wizard turned...

Maya into a turkey!

Husband, your daughter has been out all night.

These are not the ways of a Teca princess.

Maya!

And on her day of birth.

Maya's rebel fire burns bright,

just like yours.

Gross.

Órale. Off you go to prepare for the coronation.

- You three smell like... - Like victory!

Vamos. Off to the baths.

Maya's coronation cannot be delayed.

There's still time.

And I know just who can bring her back.

Huh?

Chiapa, por favor!

You are a battle cat. Act like one.

Get Maya back here as soon as possible, boy.

Ay.

I think you know where that girl ran off to.

Ay, Maya. I just hope she's safe.

This is going to be glorious!

If I survive.

Illegal Bare-Knuckle Fighting Pit fans,

please give a hand to the undisputed champion,

Bear Killah!

Challenge!

- Huh? - Who dares challenge Bear Killah, man?

I do.

Oh, yeah.

I do!

This is no place for a girl!

Go home, little niña!

Hey! You are not a man!

Oh yeah. You can do this, Maya.

- What's your name, girl? - Eagle Foot!

No, no, Claw. Claw's better.

Eagle Claw!

Ooh!

By the twitching of our ears, a new challenger appears.

You proved your bravery, girl. Stand down.

It's such a great honor to fight you, Mr. Bear Killah!

Whoever's the least dead at the end gets the gold prize of... gold!

Fight!

Oh! I see what you're doing.

- Triple Fist of Destruction. - It's a classic!

Triple Fist of Destruction!

Ooh, great combination, Bear Killah.

Now, how about you taste some Eagle Punch!

Ooh!

I liked that one, man.

Ooh! Oh, I'm so sorry. Do you need a moment?

Check out this Eagle Claw Kick!

- Eagle Claw! - Oh, are you all right?

Is it o... Huh?

The Bear cannot stand before this mighty Eagle warrior!

Eagle Claw!

Mighty Eagle Flip!

Oh!

Ooh!

And now, the Teca Family

Elbow!

Oh my gods.

I think I beat Bear Killah!

I won!

Eagle Claw! Eagle Claw!

Eagle Claw!

This little eagle is not ready.

- Huh? - Eagle Killah!

Ah!

- The Eagle is done! - Oh!

The Bear has won!

Call it, ref man.

Stay down,

or I have to break the rest of you, girl.

Do you give up, Eagle Claw?

Eagle Claw!

Eagle Claw!

Huh?

The Mighty Eagle is not done!

Ay, for the gods' sake, Maya!

This is how you found her, Chiapa?

I'm sure she'll be fine.

And what about her dislocated shoulder? Hm?

Oh! Uh...

We wait for the healers?

I didn't sneak out to the fighting pits, I swear!

Ay, Maya, we were so worried about you.

You could have died in that ring!

Ho, ho, ho! Please tell me you won.

Oh, Mama, I was trying...

You know, I was trying to win that gold for the orphanage.

Don't use those kids as an excuse.

You were fighting for nothing more than glory.

There's nothing sweeter than glory!

Which is not the right thing to think.

Obviously.

Mija, I've dreamt of your coronation for 15 years.

I don't want to be like you.

A... A diplomat who does nothing but sit around talking

while the warriors get to have epic adventures.

Is that what you think I do?

- Um, yeah. - Maya, respect your mother.

Mama, what happened to you?

You were a warrior once. You trained me to fight.

So you could protect yourself, not fight in the pits!

It's the closest thing I'll ever get to being...

To be a... a true Eagle Warrior.

It's not fair that my brothers get to go on epic quests,

but I have to stay cooped up in a palace because...

...because I'm a princess.

Ay, mija, it's not because you're a princess.

It's because your brothers are the jaguars from the prophecy.

Ugh! "The prophecy."

A Great Eagle King, me,

and his three jaguar sons, your brothers,

would one day battle the dark gods to save the world of man.

Dun, dun, dun!

And what if the Great Prophecy was just a made-up story?

Maya!

Papa, what if the gods don't even exist?

Enough!

Come on, mijos.

Being a leader is more than just fighting.

It's about sacrifice.

It's just not fair!

No more of this Eagle Warrior nonsense. Look at me, niña.

Maya will never fight again.

I hate you.

I wish you weren't my mother.

- Mama, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... - Maid, take Maya to my dressing room.

Do what you must to make her look like a princess.

- You're new, aren't you? - Yes, my lady.

Hey, that's my favorite melody.

Mine too.

Some say it was here before the world and will remain after it ends.

Pardon me for speaking out of turn, my lady,

but it's clear your parents love you to the sun and back.

The gods have blessed you all.

I guess.

Tu mamá only wants what's best for you.
