[panting]
- Simon, can you believe it?
- [gasps]
- I, Millie
No-Middle-Name No-Last-Name,
am going to the house
of a real live sorceress.
Thank you, magic gods!
- Okay, that was right in my--
[thunder crashes]
Ah!
[laughs]
- Millie, remember, we're not
paying a social visit.
- That's right.
We're going to get
Sir Gadabout's courage back
from an evil witch.
- [shudders]
Evil witch.
- I know, but I bet her house
is going to be so creepy
and covered in brambles
and sharp pointy spikes.
- [whimpers]
Pointy spikes.
- [whimpering]
Oh, I heard spikes too.
[thunder crashes]
- Oh, and the air around
her house will be cold.
And the path to her front door
will be littered
with the bones of her enemies.
Bones of her enemies.
Oh, the worst kind of bones.
I don't know if I like this.
- And best of all, if there
are any spell books inside,
I could finally learn to--
[all gasp]
[laughs excitedly]
♪
[laughing]
[whimpering]
That must be it.
- Uh-huh.
If I were an evil sorceress,
that's exactly what my house
would look like.
- Oh, it's everything
I thought it would be--
and more!
[thunder crashing]
Could use more bones though.
[upbeat music]
- Lotta people tellin' me
what I should be ♪
But I wanna make
my own destiny ♪
- [growls]
- Got a feelin' ♪
That it might be time
for me ♪
- To find my own way ♪
- [grunts]
- 'Cause I can feel it
in my heart ♪
It takes a lot to be brave,
but just a little to start ♪
Let's go take
a million chances ♪
Let's go change
our circumstances ♪
I'm gonna write

- [stammers]
Have you tried turning it off
and then turning it
back on again?
Of course I tried that!
That's, like, Portal 101.
Ah, yep, I see.
It's as I expected.
Your problem here is
both: Hmm?
It exploded.
[bleats angrily]
Ah!
Oh, I know it exploded.
What I need to know is
when it will be fixed.
There are children in danger.
A powerful sorceress
is after them.
Not to mention, the future of
an entire kingdom is at stake.
[bleats]
All right, buddy.
Keep your whiskers on.
- [groans]
Lenny, fruit me.
- [grunts]
- I just hope the children can
avoid Fendra until then.
Show me the kids.
[sighs]
There they are.
I guess if worse comes
to worse,
Max does have
the Ring of Return.
Ow! I'm okay.
- She could at least zap
herself here with the dagger
to keep it away from Fendra.
Eh, I'm sure they'll be fine.
Kids have their own
kind of dumb luck.
- Oh, they'll need
a lot more than luck.
The sorceress chasing them
is the same one
who destroyed this portal.
- Oh, wow, yeah.
Then they're in big trouble.
This thing's a mess.
[thunder crashing]
[whimpers]
- Okay, gang,
first things first,
we need to figure out
if this sorceress is home--
- [chuckling]
- Stop!
- I'm going in.
- Millie.
Get back here.
Millie.
[eerie music]
- She's gonna knock, isn't she?
- Yep.
- Oh, I can't look.
- [whimpers]
[humming]
♪
[all whimpering]
[grunts]
[knock on door]
Hey, guys!
She's not home.
[all sigh]
Okay, the witch isn't home,
but how do we get inside?
[door creaks]
Hey, guys, the door's open!
- Huh, that was easy.
- [gasps]
- But what kind of
all-powerful sorceress
doesn't even lock her door?
[laughing excitedly]
[whimpering]
- Uncle Budrick, how about
you keep Sir Gadabout company?
We'll go in and look
for his courage.
Yes, yes.
Good. Will do.
[whimpering]
♪
[humming]
[gasping]
Wow.
[squeals, giggles]
Whoa.
We're in the lair
of a real live sorceress!
[laughing]
[gasps]
Look, a bubbling cauldron.
- Millie, please
don't touch that.
[humming]
Ooh, an eternal flame.
[insects chittering]
[gasps]
Witch grapes!
Millie, no!
[laughs] Mmm!
Man, these are disgusting.
Ooh, you guys gotta try one.
- Uh-uh.
- No way.
Blech. Ew.
[gasps, squeals]
This is amazing!
[laughing excitedly]
- Any ideas where
an evil witch might keep
a knight's stolen courage?
- Sadly, I have yet
to read any books
on evil witches'
home organization practices.
Right.
Rifling through drawers
it is then.
Wow.
- Millie.
- Huh?
[gasps]
- Let's look in here.
- Millie.
- You guys hear that?
- Millie.
- Millie.
- Uh-uh.
- Nope.
- No.
[eerie music]
[whispers] Hello?
Are you a ghost?
If you're a ghost,
you have to tell me.
Pretty sure there's
a law about that.
[squeals]
Spell books.
- Millie.
Millie.
Someone's tooth. Great.
- [gasps] I recognize
that enormous incisor.
Graugnar the Troll mentioned
a witch stole his tooth.
Evidently, he wasn't telling
a tall tale after all.
Perhaps I should
return it to him.
- So this lady just goes around
taking people's stuff?
What does she do
with all of it?
My guess is nothing good.
[dramatic musical sting]
♪
[thunder crashes]
- What do you think
they're finding in there?
- Could be all manner
of terrifying things.
Evil potions,
animal parts, spiders.
So many spiders.
[honks, gasps]
Oh. Thanks.
Scalp rubs do calm my nerves.
Scalp rubs?
[screams]
- [honking and screaming]
- [panting and screaming]
[grunting and stammering]
[bleats]
- Gah!
- [bleats]
Dagnabbit, Pete.
All I managed to get through
was a hand.
That's not going to cut it.
- All right, all right,
don't blow a vein.
- I'm working on it.
- [growls]
Um
have you tried turning it off
and then turning it
back on again?
- Pete, ask me that
one more time
and I will turn you
into a toad!
- [door opens]
- [honking]
I talked him into coming inside
and that's the entire story.
There's nothing else to it
and you're welcome.
- Right.
- [shuddering]
Just be careful
and definitely
don't touch anything.
- Open me.
[gasps]
- [sinisterly] Open me.
[gasps]
- Open me. Open me.
[indistinct
disembodied chatter]
[gasping excitedly]
- [gasps]
I say, here's an idea.
We'll go through
each drawer again,
paying close attention
to the fiendish methods a witch
might use to obfuscate the true
nature of the substance--
- I found it.
Sir Gadabout, look.
We found your courage.
My courage. Oh.
[grunts]
[triumphant music]
[yelps]
- Ah-ah. Not so fast.
[all exclaim]
Oh, too bad I came home
just as Sir Knockabout
was about
to drink his courage down.
What bad luck.
- Max, I do believe
that is Fendra.
Wait, Fendra Fendra?
As in the witch who's
working with Gastley?
- [whimpering]
- That's me.
Now, one of you has magic.
I can smell it.
[sniffs]
So which of you is
the witch or warlock?
- Ah-ah-ah-ah.
- That doesn't belong to you.
Give it back.
- Nonsense. It belongs to me
because I took it.
And speaking
of taking things
Hey!
[suspenseful music]
- Hmm.
[both gasp]
[laughs menacingly]
Finally, King Conrad
will be mine!
- No, he won't!
- Millie.
- Ah.
So the little trickle of magic
I've been sensing
comes from you.
- [gasps]
- Come on then, girlie.
Let's see what you've got.
- I've got this!
[grunts]
[laughs]
You're no sorceress.
Perhaps I should show you
how it's done.
- Millie!
- [laughs mockingly]
[all gasp]
Millie, are you okay?
Sir Gadabout wasn't kidding.
You really are a monster.
- A monster, am I?
Well, brat,
if it's a monster you want,
it's a monster you'll get!

returns, does he?

But I promise you this, madam,
you do not frighten me.
Aw, a pity.
Your fearful cries used
to lull me to sleep.
Those days are over.
