The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone

OH, SEE, YOU JUST GOT A LITTLE SAND ON YOU.

YOU'RE OK?

DANIEL?!

HEY MS. SALLY.

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YOU TOO.

I BROUGHT A FEW THINGS FOR THE KIDS.

CAN I JUST LEAVE THEM ON THE TABLE?

OH, THANK YOU, DANIEL. THAT'S FINE.

CAN YOU STAY FOR A WHILE?

I'M ACTUALLY ON MY WAY TO SEE THE GAME AT THE STADIUM.

THE PLAYOFFS?

YEAH. RIGHT BEHIND THE DIG-OUT.

WELL, LOOK AT YOU.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD.

I SEE A FEW KIDS I'VE NOT SEEN BEFORE.

YEAH, WE BROUGHT THREE MORE IN FROM OTHER FOSTER HOMES.

MY HEART JUST GOES OUT TO THEM.

IT'S NEVER EASY FOR THEM TO ADJUST.

THAT'S BILLY OVER THERE, UNDER THE TREE.

HARDLY EVER SAYS A WORD.

AND THEN THERE'S ALLIE, LITTLE GIRL WITH THE RED HAIR.

SO INSECURE.

SHE SAID TO ME THE OTHER DAY

"DO YOU THINK GOD EVER MAKES PEOPLE BY ACCIDENT."

I JUST WANTED TO MELT.

AND THEN, THAT'S HUKO, THE BOY IN THE BLUE.

WE'VE HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH HIM.

HE LIKES TO BE KING AROUND HERE.

I'M GONNA KNOCK HOME RUN ON THAT BOY, BE RIGHT BACK.

HUKO!

HUKO, GIVE ME THE BAT.

ARE YOU HERE TO TELL US A STORY?

A STORY?

WE ALWAYS HEAR STORIES ON TUESDAY.

I'M SORRY, DANIEL.

LISA, MS. JESSIE ISN'T FEELING WELL TODAY,

SHE'LL BE HERE NEXT WEEK, OKAY?

WILL YOU TELL US ONE?

UM, I DON'T THINK MY STORY'D BE AS GOOD AS MS. JESSIE'S.

OH, WELL, THAT'S OK.

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON EVERYONE!

COME ON, COME ON, IT'S STORY TIME.

IT'S STORY TIME!

YEAH!

AWESOME!

ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE TIME?

UM, A LITTLE TIME, YES.

A STORY, NO.

HEY, GET OUT OF MY SEAT.

OK, STORY TIME, HUKO COOL IT,

WALKING STICK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DANIEL, I'M GONNA GO FIX THEIR SNACKS WHILE YOU TELL THE STORY.

OK.

SO, WHAT KIND OF STORY IS THIS?

TELL A SCARY ONE!

NO, TELL A FUNNY ONE!

JUST DON'T MAKE IT BORING.

WHY WOULD IT BE BORING?

IT'S NOT GONNA BE BORING, IT'S GONNA BE FUNNY.

OK, I'VE GOT A STORY.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT SCARY, IT'S A LITTLE BIT FUNNY,

AND IT'S GOT A LOT OF ACTION.

YES!

THIS STORY IS CALLED, "THE LOST MEDALLION".

COOL!

SO, WHAT'S A MEDALLION?

ISN'T THAT LIKE A BIG PIECE OF FRUIT.

NO- THAT'S A MELON.

OH.

A MEDALLION IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL

THAT YOU PUT AROUND YOUR NECK.

LIKE A GOLD MEDAL.

YES, LIKE A GOLD MEDAL, BUT THIS ONE, WAS MAGICAL.

NOW THIS STORY HAS THREE VERY SPECIAL KIDS IN IT.

THE FIRST, IS A YOUNG PRINCE NAMED HUKO.

HEY, THAT'S MY NAME!

THE SECOND WAS A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL NAMED ALLIE.

AND THE THIRD WAS A CLEVER BOY NAMED BILLY.

HEY, THAT BOY OVER THERE IS NAMED BILLY.

HEY, IS YOUR NAME REALLY BILLY?

YOU MAY WANNA COME HEAR THIS STORY.

HE DOESN'T TALK A LOT.

I DON'T THINK HE'S VERY SMART.

WELL, I KNOW A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY QUIET.

AND I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WHO TALK TOO MUCH

EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT VERY SMART.

YEAH, YOU TALK ALL THE TIME.

OK, NOW LISTEN UP.

OUR STORY BEGINS A LONG, LONG TIME AGO,

ON A FAR, FAR AWAY ISLAND.

A KIND-HEARTED KING MELTED DOWN HIS CROWN

AND SHAPED IT INTO A MEDALLION

WITH A SPECIAL STONE IN THE MIDDLE.

THE KING DID THIS TO SHOW HIS PEOPLE

THAT EVERYBODY WAS IMPORTANT,

AND THAT NO ONE PERSON WAS BORN GREATER THAN ANOTHER.

BECAUSE OF THIS HUMBLE ACT,

THE MEDALLION TOOK ON SPECIAL POWERS,

GRANTING WISHES TO THE PURE IN HEART.

WITH THIS POWERFUL MEDALLION,

THE KING USED IT TO GROW CROPS FROM BARREN SOIL.

HE SAVED HIS PEOPLE FROM DEADLY STORMS.

THE KING EVEN PROTECTED HIS VILLAGE

FROM AN EVIL WARLORD'S INVADING ARMIES.

BUT ONE DAY, THE KING'S PRIDEFUL SON, HUKO,

TOOK THE MEDALLION AND LOST THE STONE,

CAUSING IT TO LOSE ITS POWER.

WITHOUT THE POWER OF THE STONE TO PROTECT THE ISLAND,

THE EVIL WARLORD COBRA, CONQUERED THE PEACEFUL PEOPLE.

BUT JUST BEFORE HE SEIZED THE MEDALLION,

THE GOOD KING RESCUED IT, AND ESCAPED.

WHERE IS IT?

DID THE KING DIE?

YES.

WHAT ABOUT THE MEDALLION?

WELL, THE MEDALLION STAYED HIDDEN FOR A LONG TIME.

NO ONE FOUND IT, EVEN THOUGH MANY PEOPLE LOOKED FOR IT.

AND THAT BRINGS US TO THE NEXT PART OF THE STORY,

AND A YOUNG BOY NAMED BILLY.

I WANT YOU OUT OF HERE.

I SAID I WANT YOU OFF THIS SITE, RIGHT NOW.

LET ME HELP YOU.

YOU CAN'T HELP.

I CAN CLEAN TOOLS, TAKE NOTES, GET COFFEE, DIG HOLES.

YOU'RE TOO YOUNG FOR THIS KIND OF WORK.

I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU NEED.

PROMISE?

YEAH, I PROMISE.

GO HOME.

BUT DAD, THERE'S NO ONE THERE.

AH, YOU KNOW,

WE COULD USE AN ARCHEOLOGIST LIKE YOU ON OUR TEAM.

COBB APPRECIATES YOUR TALENTS WHILE CERTAIN OTHERS DO NOT.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

GIVE ME THAT.

GET LOST YOU LITTLE BRAT!

WHAT DO YOU THINK, MR. COBB?

OUR FAMILIES HAVE BEEN SEARCHING

FOR THE MEDALLION FOR GENERATIONS.

BUT THIS KID, HE'S ONTO SOMETHING.

KEEP AN EYE ON HIM.

NOT TO WORRY, WE COME FROM A LONG LINE OF TRACKERS.

OH...

HEY, YOU KNOW, YOU WEREN'T CREATED TO FLY,

AT LEAST NOT LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, FROM THAT HEIGHT, AT YOUR WEIGHT,

YOU'D NEED AT LEAST FOUR-AND-A-HALF TIMES

MORE SURFACE AREA.

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT IDEA?

IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN FIND IN A BOOK.

YOU SHOULD OPEN ONE SOMETIME.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR CAN'T BE FOUND IN A BOOK.

DID YOU GET KICKED OUT AGAIN?

YEAH.

MY DAD'S NEVER GONNA LET ME JOIN HIM.

WELL, DID YOU FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING?

NOTHING... YET...

BUT SOMEDAY THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL BE CHANGED

WHEN I FIND THE MEDALLION.

WHEN WE FIND THE MEDALLION.

AND SO, THE SPIDER SEES THE FLY.

WELL, SEE YOU TOMORROW.

BYE.

HEY, I ALMOST FORGOT,

I FOUND THIS AT A USED BOOKSTORE.

IT'S SOME KIND OF ANTIQUARIAN JOURNAL ABOUT OUR ISLAND.

A WHAT JOURNAL?

AN OLD JOURNAL.

YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A READ,

YOU MIGHT FIND SOMETHING KIND OF INTERESTING.

SEE YA.

HEY, HOW WAS SCHOOL TODAY.

DAD, YOU OKAY?

IT'S OVER BILLY.

WHAT'S OVER?

COBB SHUT ME DOWN.

YOU OWE THE BANK, NOT HIM.

HE IS THE BANK, BILLY.

HE NOW OWNS EVERYTHING NOW, INCLUDING THE DIG SITE.

I GIVE UP.

NO DAD YOU CAN'T GIVE UP!

WE CAN'T GIVE UP.

I'VE LOST EVERYTHING FOR WHAT?

FOR SOME NON-EXISTENT MEDALLION.

YOU KNOW MOM WOULD TELL YOU THAT IT EXISTS.

IT'S IN THE GROUND SOMEWHERE, I CAN FEEL IT, I KNOW IT.

EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER MEANT ANYTHING TO ME.

IT'S ALL BURIED IN THE GROUND.

BILLY, I WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS.

IT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR A LONG TIME.

AND I KNOW, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH,

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL ABOUT IT.

I LOVE YOU, HONEY.

HE'S READING A BOOK.

RIGHT, WELL, WE SLEEP NOT, TILL THIS MISSION BE COMPLETE.
