Elena of Avalor

Atten-hut!

My fellow Avalorans,

today I am sad to announce

that the brave leader of our Royal Guard,

Captain Antonio Sandoval,

is retiring.

What? Retiring?

Captain Sandoval embodies Avalor's best values...

Courage, selflessness, and honor,

so we look to him to nominate four guards

worthy of replacing him.

Captain Sandoval?

I am a man of few words.

Rico Villalobos!

Nice!

Miguel Léon.

Good job!

Andreas Sosa.

Oh! Excuse me.

And Gabriel Nuñez.

Whew!

Yes!

The four of you will take part

in a skills competition that begins today.

The first two candidates to complete the course

will face off again tomorrow to decide who will be

the new captain of the guard.

Anything to add, Captain?

Captain?

Dismissed!

- Lieutenant Nuñez! - Atten-hut!

May I have a word?

Of course, Your Majesty.

Gabe! I'm so excited for you!

Me too! I can't believe it.

I'll be rooting for you! As your friend.

As Crown Princess, may the best guard win.

I'd have it no other way.

Good luck tomorrow.

I hear it's a pretty tough course.

Did you see them?

If Gabe makes captain,

it will only be because he's Elena's friend.

If I make captain, it'll be because I earned it.

Oh, the captain of the Royal Guard

has always been from a distinguished military family,

like me!

And never the son of a baker.

Like you.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being a baker.

If you're making muffins!

But if you're leading soldiers,

you should come from a military family like mine.

This sword belonged to my father,

Regimental Sergeant-Major Hilário Villalobos.

Gabe, uh, what did your father pass down to you?

Um, a spatula?

I don't need a fancy sword to win the competition.

I can win with this.

Aww...

What? This is standard issue!

We all have the same one!

Show us what you can do with it, baker boy.

I will, Regimental Sergeant-Major boy!

That sounded snappier in my head.

Oh, you got him, baker boy!

- What? - Ahh!

Wait, I was distracted.

Yes, by my incredible fighting skills.

With this sword, I am unstoppable.

Atten-hut!

Professor Mendoza needs a package delivered

to Avalor's Museum of Archaeology.

Any volunteers?

At your service, Professor.

Okay. Now, this is very important.

Go directly there.

Do not open it.

Protect it with your life. Is that clear?

Perfectly clear.

All right, then.

Thanks, Gabe.

Smart move.

You don't need a good sword to deliver packages.

Was it something I said?

Hey, Fuego.

I'm up for captain.

I know, right?

I just hope I have what it takes.

Thanks. But it won't be easy.

Whoa, Fuego!

Check it out, Fuego!

If I was using a sword like this,

there's no way Rico could beat me.

Hey!

What if I borrow the sword?

Just for the competition!

Then I'll bring it right to the museum!

No harm in that, right?

Whoa.

That's more like it!

Every great soldier needs a great sword!

Whoo! Ha!

Ha ha ha!

This sword makes me feel like I'm...

the strongest, most handsome,

unstoppable soldier that ever lived!

El Guapo!

Fall in!

Where's Gabe?

I don't know.

Oh, here he comes.

Ha ha! Yah-ha!

Hey, looks like Gabe got a new sword.

All right, Lieutenant Nuñez!

Nuñez? No, no, no. Call me...

Guapo.

Guapo?

Doesn't "guapo" mean "handsome?

Yes?

Well, he does have a point.

Guapo? Why'd I say that?

Cool sword! How many empanadas

did your father have to sell to buy it?

Atten-hut!

On your mark...

get set...

go!

It's Guapo time!

Wah!

I smell victory for Guapo!

Sure it's not your socks, Guapo?

How dare you?

Un, dos, tres!

Ha ha!

Ha ha!

Gracias!

Ooh...

Rico, are you all right?

What are you doing?

Keep running! Yah! Stop! Aah!

Whoa! Aah! Whoa!

Thanks for the help, Gabe!

What? You made it to the next round.

Princessa, why don't you save everyone's time

and make me captain now?

Well, because the competition

isn't over, Lieutenant Nuñez.

Of course. I understand.

So now I will go practice my victory speech for tomorrow!

The incomparable tenor El Guapo!

Uh, what's gotten into Gabe?

I don't know, but I don't like it.

Neither do I.

That is definitely not

how a captain of the Royal Guard acts.

I need to talk to him.

Ooh, good grab, Fuego.

Oh! Why was I acting like that?

And talking like that!

Huh?

How'd it do that?

Because this sword

is enchanted with the spirit

of the brave and handsome El Guapo!

El Guapo? So that's why I said all those terrible things!

I gotta get rid of this sword.
