Ah!

Yes! Point!

Bravo! Another win!

Thanks, Abuelo!

I don't remember teaching you that move.

I threw it in at the last minute.

Elena, when I see you Fence,

it is like watching your mother.

She was quite the Fencer in her day.

So I've heard.

Ready for another round, Gabe?

I promise I'll go easy on you.

Sorry, Princess, but I have to head down to the arena.

Sign-ups start today for the Swordsman's Cup,

and the Royal Guards are helping set up the tournament.

I can't wait to see all that great Swordplay.

Maybe pick up some new moves.

Let me walk you out, Lieutenant.

Oh! Gabe, don't forget your...

Thank you for teaching Elena how to Fence.

And for letting her win.

What?!

You've been letting me win all this time?

I... I... Uh...

It was my idea.

I don't want you to get hurt.

I'm not going to get hurt, Abuelo.

Your mother was the best Fencer in the kingdom,

and even she got injured.

You never told me that. How?

My Lucia entered the Swordsman's Cup once.

She made it to the final round

against a knight from Brazendell.

But she broke her wrist and had to forfeit the match.

I would never forgive myself

if I let something like that happen again.

Just because she got hurt doesn't mean I will.

I cannot take that risk.

You are the Crown Princess of Avalor.

But more importantly, you are my granddaughter.

Please try to understand.

And you went along with this?

I'm sorry. But I'm your Royal Guard.

I'm supposed to protect you.

I don't need to be protected.

I'll show you. I'll show both of you.

What do you mean, show us?

I'm going to enter the Fencing Tournament.

There is no way

your grandfather is going to let you do that.

Ah! You're right.

So I'm not going to let him know it's me.

I'll just pretend to be a knight

from a faraway kingdom!

You still sound like the Crown Princess.

I don't need to talk. Just win.

That's going to be harder than you think.

You haven't seen who you're up against.

They call him The Viper because of his quick strikes.

They call her The Hornet

because her footwork's so good,

it's like she's flying.

They call him The Beast...

because he...

Whoa!

Yeah, I think I know why.

And that right there is Sir Cassius.

What are you doing, Cassius!

You don't stop in the middle of a point!

It's just practice, Father.

Well, you're practicing bad habits.

Yes, Father.

Now get back in there and win the point!

Sir Cassius is Brazendell's defending champion.

Brazendell?

Didn't Abuelo say my mother dueled a knight from Brazendell?

He's not a knight anymore.

He's Lord Elrod.

Point! That's more like it!

So, seen enough?

Yep. Where do I sign up?

Welcome to the Swordsman Cup...

um... Sir Elezar!

Mm! Mm-hmm! Whoa!

This is not a good idea.

You saw the other Fencers.

I can beat them.

Elena, you can't even beat me

when I'm not letting you win.

Is that so?

En garde!

Point.

Let's go again.

- Point. - Again!

En garde!

Point.

What was that?

I call it the "Leaping Stag."

I used that move to win the Royal Guard Fencingmatch last year.

I thought I was good.

But I'm not even okay.

Listen, you're better than okay.

But if you want to get to Tournament level,

you have a lot to learn.

You're right.

So I'm going to need you to teach me.

I want you to be my coach.

Your coach? ( Laughs ) No way.

Why not?

You're the best Fencer in the Royal Guard.

You know all those great moves.

Plus, I trained you in Olaball.

The least you could do is coach me.

If I coach you,

you're going to have to train the way I trained,

and you're not going to like it.

I'll do whatever you say. I promise.

All right. We start tomorrow morning at five.

Ooh, can we make it seven?

I'm not really a morning person.

Five it is!

Huh?! Huh?!

Wha...?

We're burning daylight! Let's go! Let's go!

Uh-huh.

Aah! Oh!

I'm okay.

Why do I have to go up all these steps?

If you want to be a great Fencer, you need endurance

so you can outlast your opponent.

Ooh!

You need balance so you can stay on your feet.

Whoa! Whoa!

Ha!

Whoaaa!

Ha!

You need speed and footwork

so you can dodge and strike.

Hey!

Gabe!

Ow!

You're lucky I'm using mangoes.

My instructor used coconuts.

We've been at this all day.

When are you going to teach me some sword moves?

You're not ready for a sword.

But the competition is in two days!

And if it was a complaining contest, you'd be ready to go.

Look, if you want to win, you need to step up.

I am stepping up!

Then show me.

Aah!
