[peaceful music playing]
[yawns]
[Milo] Just a little further…
[sighs] You think Sanga's forcing us
to set up for the Banner Ceremony
to torture us?
[groans] Key,
-keep the ladder steady.
-[Key] Right. Sorry.
It's just, after the trials,
this is the last place
I wanna be right now.
-[groans]
-[Milo exclaims]
[screaming] Whoa!
Jelly! Jelly! Jelly!
[grunting, panting]
Huh?
[yawns] There you guys are.
I've been looking everywhere.
-[exclaims]
-[grunts]
I've got some news!
Big news. [chuckles]
What are you doing in here anyway?
Sanga grabbed us.
He said we were loitering.
I don't even know what that means.
[groans]
[both gasp]
-Here.
-Huh?
[gasps, exclaims]
[chuckles]
[panting, yawning]
-[exclaims]
-Are you okay?
-When was the last time you slept?
-I have no idea.
[chuckles] It's just all one big blur.
But don't worry about that.
'Cause I figured out a way
we can all play on
a Banner's team together.
You do remember that me
and Milo failed the trials, right?
-Spectacularly failed.
-Right, right, right. Sure.
But after we found that old stadium,
I spent the whole night researching.
And there used to be a fifth Banner
called the Knights!
[both] Huh?
But what does that have to do
with us playing together?
Because there's nothing stopping us
resurrecting them
and challenging for the Banner's Helm.
[echoing]
How would that even be possible?
All we need is five players,
our own stadium,
which needs to be up to regulation,
and then we have to light the flame here
at the Banner lighting ceremony obviously.
This ceremony?
At sunset? Tonight?
But you already have a spot on a team.
No, I don't.
I turned them both down. 'Cause boo!
What? Why would you do that?
I was never a fan of the Roses.
Plus, I don't want anything
to do with the Bards
-after Casper was so mean to Milo.
-Huh?
You didn't have to do that for me.
It's all my fault you failed the trials!
[crying]
So you wanna resurrect the Knights?
Hmm. Uh… I guess?
Sure. What do we got to lose?
-Yes!
-[both] Whoa!
[Ssyelle] As soon as people
find out we're starting a team,
they'll be bending
over backwards to join us.
There's no such team as the Knights.
Well, technically, not yet.
But with your help--
Hard pass.
[laughs] Wait.
You're actually, like, serious?
[laughs]
Play with a bunch of losers?
I need to train for next year.
Yeah, no thanks.
[Ssyelle] So? Are you in?
[all gasp]
-Oh. Where did she…
-[students laughing]
-Losers!
-[laughs]
Huh?
Let me know when I should start
taking this personally.
Hey, you can't say we didn't try.
Maybe if you ask the Roses nicely
they'll still let you play with them.
[gulps] I'm not ready to give up yet.
We still have a few hours.
There has to be someone who…
[Key, Milo gasp]
[gasps] Guys!
-Haunted books!
-Oh, it's just Ameline.
[gasps] Hey, Ameline.
I don't suppose you're interested
in joining the Knights?
[gasps]
It's okay.
I knew it was a long shot.
[screams]
[groans] Wait.
Is that a yes?
Mm-hmm.
We got a yes!
We might actually pull this off.
If we have any chance
of making the ceremony
we've got to get
the Knight's field up to regulation.
I'm sure it won't be too much work.
Okay, so what are we waiting for?
Actually, Milo,
I need you to sit this one out.
We still need one more player
and there's one person we haven't asked.
Huh?
Oh.
[grunting]
[grunting continues]
[gulps]
[grunts]
[both grunt]
-[grunts, gasps]
-What do you want?
Um, uh, it's just that me and my friends
are starting a new Banner's team.
The, um, Knights.
-Well, good luck with that.
-[gasps]
Well, we were thinking,
as you don't have a team…
[Odward scoffs] You're asking if
I wanna play on a team with you?
Uh, it's just, after the trials,
I thought it would be
a way for you to still play.
Whoa!
I don't want any part of whatever you
and your pathetic friends are doing.
-Okay?
-Hmm.
[croaking]
[Ssyelle strains] Gotta admit,
when I had the idea
to resurrect the Knights…
[both grunt]
…I wasn't expecting
there'd be this much dung.
[exclaims]
[inhales deeply, exhales]
Isn't it calming?
-[Falco] Uh, funny.
-[both gasp]
It just makes me feel sick.
What do you think you're doing?
-Uh…
-What?
Claiming the field?
We're starting our own team.
[all laughing]
[Key] Hmm?
Now that might be
the funniest thing I've ever heard.
And you can't do that.
This belongs to the Roses.
It's our favorite compost heap.
Uh, you have a favorite compost heap?
How do you think we keep
our stadium so green and lush?
Huh.
We'll play you for it.
First one to score wins the whole stadium.
Unless you're scared of getting
Donkeybug dung on your faces.
[scoffs] You're not serious?
You know the Roses have
-the best defense in the league, right?
-Huh?
-[Ssyelle] Hmm.
-We'll still challenge you.
[scoffs] As you all seem so handy
with those pitchforks, we accept.
And when we win,
you can tend the Roses' field
for the rest of the season.
Oh, and one more thing.
-Your keeper joins the Roses.
-[gasps]
[Lilas] She'll be warming
the bench all season.
It is on!
Well, let's get this over with.
We have a Banner
lighting ceremony to get to.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
-This is the only way we qualify.
-[sighs]
But what the Roses don't know is
that Milo will be here any second.
With Odward.
Right. And with Odward
we actually stand a chance.
Huh?
Milo! Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm, uh, fine.
It's just… all this dung is really
doing a number on my sinuses.
Where's Odward?
[Milo grunts]
[sighs]
-[scoffs]
-[all laughing]
A match. Four against five…
Oh, boy.
Uh, what match?
[grunts]
[grunting, panting]
[grunting]
[grunts] Oh.
Don't worry.
This will be all over quickly.
[grunting]
[grunting]
[exclaims, groaning]
-[grunts] Piece of cake!
-[exclaims]
[grunting]
Hmm.
[screams]
Flaming Sun!
[grunts]
[Ssyelle exclaims] Clock Master!
[grunts]
[grunting]
[grunts]
-[both] Whoo! Yeah!
-[pants]
[grunting]
[Key grunts]
Time to show 'em what the Knights can do.
[grunting]
[chuckles]
[grunts]
[grunts]
Honey Cross!
-[grunts]
-Whoa.
Clock Master! [exclaims]
[grunts]
Come on!
[grunts]
Man. Ssyelle's the only thing
keeping us in this game.
But she's too tired.
Her Tama is failing.
-She can't keep this up on her own.
-[panting]
[grunting]
-[gasps]
-[grunts]
[grunts]
[cackles]
[gasps, panting]
[gasps]
Hey. What the-- [screams]
Everybody take cover!
Uh… Key?
[screaming]
[chuckles] He got a whiff
of Lotus's hallucinogenic spell.
It'll pass.
Let's end this circus.
[both grunting]
[panting] Jelly!
[groans]
-[panting]
-No, Ameline, don't.
[panting]
[screaming]
[gasps] Clock Master!
Oh, no!
Nighty night, Knights.
-[exclaims]
-Huh?
Now you eat dung!
[grunts]
[gasps]
[groans]
[grunts]
[muttering]
[exclaims]
Um, am I still hallucinating
or did Ameline just suck up Falco's Tama?
And she talks.
[panting]
[groans, panting]
We've got to take a break.
We all could use a moment.
You got one minute.
It's almost sunset.
[croaks]
-[Ssyelle groans] I'm so sorry.
-[Milo] For what?
I'm too tired. And my Tama is depleted.
You don't need to apologize.
We've let you down.
We're just sorry you lost your chance
to play on a Banner's team.
Are you kidding?
I got your hopes up,
and it was all for nothing.
If it wasn't for Ameline
we'd have lost already.
-That was hard-core by the way.
-Hmm.
Yes! Crush Roses!
It's true. It was awesome,
and we played together against the Roses.
-Hello? Bucket list.
-[laughs]
[groans]
And I'm sorry you guys
have to shovel the Rose's dung
for the rest of the season.
[Milo, Key laughing]
[Milo] Wait. We're doing what now?
Huh?
Whoa. [gasps]
Huh? [gasps]
Hey, Lilas. What's all this?
Almost done teaching
these arrogant first years
a lesson in humility.
Wanna watch?
Seems a little unfair. Five on four.
Maybe I should even it up
in the spirit of sportsmanship.
[scoffs] You wanna help these wannabes?
Please. No.
I'm just not gonna miss
the chance to play.
-[all gasp]
-Oh, I can't believe you came.
I just wanted to play.
Don't read anything into it.
[grunts]
Okay, Ameline,
you think you can do
whatever you did again?
Mm-hmm.
[Ssyelle] Milo, you think
you can Jelly Lilas?
I'll do my best.
[Ssyelle] Key, now you know
what Lotus can do,
-you can exploit that.
-[grunts]
-[Ssyelle] Odward--
-Just get me the ball.
[upbeat music playing]
[grunting]
Huh? [panting]
Jelly slide!
-[groaning]
-[grunts]
[grunting]
[chuckles]
[grunting]
Huh?
[grunting] Huh?
[grunting]
[panting]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[chuckling] Hey!
[chuckles]
Gotcha!
-[gasps]
-[grunting]
[gasps, screams]
-[grunts]
-Huh?
[gasps] Knights score!
-[chuckles]
-Yeah!
[panting]
Told you to give me the ball.
Hey, Falco,
thanks for making winning
our stadium a piece of cake.
[grunts]
If you ever wanna play on a real team,
maybe you won't have to warm the bench.
[scoffs] No, thanks.
I already have a team.
[chattering]
[chuckling]
-[sniffs] Ew.
-[gasps]
[Odward] I never said
I was joining the team.
Well, just think how good you'd look
if you joined our sorry butts.
You scoring every single game.
I mean, we're so hopeless.
You'd be our star player.
[door creaking]
[Ssyelle exclaims, grunts]
Can you believe it?
We have our own clubhouse.
[chuckles]
Is that what it is?
Isn't it amazing?
[grunts]
-[chuckles]
-[Ssyelle] Let's celebrate later.
We gotta get to the ceremony
or all this will have been for nothing.
You're not seriously thinking
of going looking like that?
Where's your kit?
Uniforms. Garb. Team regalia.
You have to dress for the ceremony.
There was nothing in the rules about that.
-[Key] Hey! Come up here!
-[all gasp]
Oh, please no.
[choir music playing]
[students whispering]
[music continues]
Who challenges for the honor
to defend the Banner's Helm?
[Ragno] Ragno!
[music continues]
Dragons!
[students] Dragons!
[cheering]
[Lilas] Lilas!
Roses!
[students clamoring]
[Pregrina] Pregrina!
[chuckles]
Shadows!
[students] Shadows!
[Casper] Casper!
[Callista] Callista!
[both] Bards!
[students cheering] Bards! Whoo-hoo!
Kal Asterock,
I present the defenders of the--
-[Key] Wait!
-[music ends]
[drumroll]
We are the Knights!
[all groaning]
-The Knights?
-Pfft.
-[students muttering]
-Did you see their armor?
[chuckles]
Is that Odward with them?
What is the meaning of this?
[Ssyelle grunts]
We're challenging for the Banner's Helm.
Huh? [sighs]
[O'Gargine] This is scandalous!
I will not allow this!
-If they meet the requirements…
-Hmm.
-…nothing can stop them from challenging.
-[gasps]
They may have five players,
but they do not have a field.
Um, yeah, about that, uh…
We might have lost
the field to them earlier.
What? This will not go unpunished, Lilas.
-[Sugoi] Mara.
-[grunts]
You of all people know
Kal Asterock's traditions.
Knights, in order to qualify,
you must light your Banner.
Huh?
[gasps]
Hmm.
[Ameline] Hmm?
[inspirational music playing]
Ssyelle!
[gasps, grunts]
Knights!
[Sugoi] The challengers are accepted.
Kal Asterock, I present
the defenders of the Banner's Helm!
[all cheering]
[whimpering]
[groaning]
[snoring]
[O'Gargine] Did you see the flame, Surya?
This does not bode well.
[Sunspear] Indeed.
Edina's son should never have been
allowed anywhere near Kal Asterock.
[O'Gargine]
It's much bigger than the boy, Surya.
We must do everything in our power
to put a stop to the Knights.
