The Final Test Part 1

What happened? Did… did we miss?

Try again. He'll be back.

Come on, please. Just one more.

No!

It can't be over.

I'm sorry, Sophia. I can't imagine how you're feeling.

Rest knowing that your father sacrificed himself

for the good of Unicorn Island.

He saved us all.

But now he's gone.

It's late. We should get her back to the academy.

What if we try to turn 'em off and on again?

I don't think that's how stars work, Rory.

Oh, but they work as souvenirs? Now who's being silly?

Looks like your plan failed.

No. It should have worked. Something's not right.

I thought you might need help sleeping. It's lavender.

Put this under your pillow and you'll drift right off to dreamland.

Do you wanna talk about it?

What is there to talk about? I thought it would work.

I risked so much because I believed it would bring him back.

I was so stupid.

It just feels like I'm losing him all over again.

You'll never lose him, Sophia. He'll always be a part of you.

And I know he'd be so proud of you becoming a unicorn rider like him.

For now.

I don't know how I'm supposed to focus on the final test.

But if we don't pass, I won't be a unicorn rider for long.

Don't worry about that, 'kay? We've got a few days.

Right now, all you need to do is get some sleep.

Hmm.

There's an emergency! Mount up! Ms. Primrose is waiting.

Students, grim forces have invaded Unicorn Island!

-Oh no! -What?

The Grimorians had the element of surprise.

They've taken a rider prisoner.

They pose a grave threat to the hostage and to the island.

And you called us?

I mean, Sapphire Dorm, rah, rah, rah, and all that,

but we're just kids.

And you will be evaluated as so.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

We'll be watching to see what you've learned about yourselves,

your unicorns, and each other.

It's here. Our final test!

We're gonna be graded?

-I'd rather fight actual grim creatures. -

You won't be graded. This will be a pass or fail test.

It's our job to train unicorn riders who can protect magic.

If you pass, you'll continue at the academy.

If you fail, you'll leave Unicorn Island immediately.

- -Seriously?

I'm gonna be sick.

Everyone, pull yourselves together! As you were saying, Ms. Primrose?

This is the magic map,

an important resource for the unicorn riders.

And this is Kimblewick Ruins.

- -Ava, it's not real.

I know. But ogres? Immediate expulsion? It's all too much.

You must get into the ruins,

clear the area, free the captured rider,

and return to the academy before sunset.

Three bells will ring during your test.

When the third bell rings,

your time is up.

At sunset? So we've got all day.

Piece of cake.

Kimblewick Ruins are on the other side of the island.

Getting there is gonna take forever.

Luckily, unicorn riders on a mission are granted use of the map's magic.

-Whoa! -Wow!

Whoa. Bet you and my dad have been through this, huh?

-We're wasting time. Let's go! -Remember, this is a team mission.

You all must work together in order to succeed.

If you fail to return as a team,

you'll all fail.

-Time to get fired up! -Let's get 'em!

-Yeah! -Yes!

Whoa.

So pretty.

Think I could use portal magic at home? Definitely beats carpooling with my mom.

Listen up. There's a lot riding on this.

Everyone better get their heads in the game.

-Yes! -

Today, you're all Furis,

and Furis don't fail.

Man, I don't wanna be a Furi.

Uh, I mean, let us go assess the situation.

That must be the way in.

Then that's where the captured rider will be.

Keep your cool. Let it pass.

- -

Hmm?

- -What was that, Mendoza?

Valentina, they've been through a lot.

I get that, but it's over. This is the only thing that matters now.

I need to know you can handle this.

We'll be fine.

We don't know the number of guards.

We should monitor this ogre, see how long his patrols are,

calculate an opening--

That's going to take time that we don't have. Just follow my lead.

Stay close.

We don't have time for a fight. We have to be stealthy.

Why would you think we know what that means?

We're close. We just have to get around that guy.

Oh, I read about ogres! They're distracted by bright objects.

Nice, Layla. Leaf, give me something flammable.

Sorry, little tumbleweed.

Storm, blow this around to distract the ogre.

- -Huh?

Oh.

Whoa! Cool! You see that?

Guess Ms. Primrose has Ethera running illusions on us.

You okay, dude?

Yeah. Looks like the other ogres didn't hear it.

Thanks to the dream team.

Come on. Our fearless leader is waiting.

Sorry. Didn't realize you'd left.

You didn't realize the team, which you're supposed to be a part of,

left without you?

Hey, she said she was sorry.

We have two more bells and then we're out of time.

Let's stay together and stay alert. We can't afford any more mistakes.

Yay. Go team.

These ogres have cucumbers for brains.

Where could they be hiding the captured rider?

Uh, have we seen this wall before?

-I think we're-- -Don't you dare say lost!

We're not. I've been using snacks to leave a trail.

Nuts are great brain fuel.

Whoops.

We're lost.

Maybe we should split up.

No. We have to finish this as a team.

Which means I can't let any of you out of my sight.

-Who made you the boss of everybody? - Look! A clue!

I recognize this.

Hey! Over here!

Th-These are my aunt's things.

Ms. Furi must be the captured rider. She's leaving us a trail.

Of course she is. Furis always think ahead.

That must be where they're keeping your aunt.

Uh, I mean, the captured unicorn rider. Gotta be professional about this.

Let's go.

What?

Through the front door? Rookie mistake. There'll be ogres all over it.

She's right. We'd be riding in unprepared. We could be ambushed.

Unprepared? That's rich coming from you.

Cool, yeah, snippy, snappy, we get the point. But look.

How about sneaking in through here?

Watch our backs.

We will not be getting cornered by anyone today.

We're on it!
