[panting]

[gasping]

I'm so glad the four of you are still the four of you.

Not always the case in the Ever After.

You're the one who ditched us in the first place.

Which, by the way, was how we ended up in that mushroom house to begin with.

You know, where that delirious caterpillar guy tried to drug us,

and then was swallowed up by a freaking hole in the ground.

Ah! Yes, yes.

Alyx had a similar reaction the first time she saw someone

return to the Ever After.

But it's not how it seems.

Well, I suppose it is.

But not the way you think, if you think like Alyx.

Which it seems like you do.

Aha...

We're here.

[buzzing]

Better run.

So, Cat, going to explain to us

how a giant caterpillar disappearing into a hole isn't how it seems?

Mm...

When we break, or wear out, or simply finish what we were made to do,

we're called back.

But Herb?

His heart was too weak to listen.

So I gave him a little bit of mine.

Is he dead?

[chuckles]

No, no.

Well, maybe a little bit.

But not at all.

[groans] Which is it?

[clears throat]

Now that Herb's properly returned,

he'll be fixed up nice and made into the Herb he wanted to be

when he was still Herb.

Then he'll come back and find his purpose.

Could be the same as before.

Or maybe not.

When Herb comes back, will he remember anything?

[laughs]

What would be the point of that?

[yawns]

Just like Alyx, you lot.

I know, I know. Where you're from, things... [grunts] die.

But we're just not like you at all.

We ascend.

Herb will have a purpose again.

That's impossible.

Things have to die someday. Right?

[gasps] Goodness, no!

Though I suppose, there is a creature--

No, no, that's not the sort of thing you talk about in polite company.

-Get your hot, fresh, right-out-of-the-oven... -Wait. So, what happened to Herb?

Is that what happened to the king?

Come on, try our mud cookies.

-They're delicious. -Oh...

It was all very sad.

The Red King couldn't cope when he lost to Alyx.

A crying mess.

Thankfully, he was called back and fixed up,

and now he's the prince you met.

Fixed up? The prince was worse.

The prince isn't supposed to be nice.

He's meant to play the game,

and win, no matter what.

So that's why he cheats, when the Red King didn't.

But that still doesn't explain why the Red Prince was so much meaner.

While the prince may not remember Alyx's deception after ascending,

the heart very rarely forgets.

But there was nothing about ascension in the story.

Of course not. Exposition is terribly boring.

Even this conversation was, on the whole, rather tedious.

I wonder what else Alyx left out?

[Curious Cat] Well, to make a Growgurt Parfait,

one needs a bushel of grumpy ivy, one good-sized spicy potato,

the lint off a griffon's sweater.

Ethel's Dragons and More should have that, which is right next to--

I'll never remember all of that.

[chuckles]

I can procure those.

But there's another ingredient we must have that's only available on the third level.

Some nose hair from a leprechaun.

[all groan]

What if you retrieved that while I go get the rest?

Sure, I-- I guess so.

Wonderful. Look for the Teapot Lady. She'll have it.

Now off you go.

-[chirps] -[Curious Cat] Ooh!

[chirping]

Ooh!

[groans]

Guess I'd better go with the Cat

so they don't get distracted by a shiny doorknob and never come back.

I'll go with you.

Get me as far away as possible from any nose hairs, please.

I'll go with you, Ruby.

[Ruby sighs]

[Yang] Nice try, kitty.

[Weiss grunts]

But we're coming along.

[both grunt]

[vendor chirps]

Oh! Uh, um, eh...

[Little chuckles]

Onward!

[yawns]

[chuckles]

[mellow music playing]

Uh, Teapot Lady, Teapot Lady, uh...

[distorted music playing]

[clanging]

Huh?

[gasps]

[Blacksmith] Does that one interest you?

I-- I thought this was lost forever.

How do you have it?

[Blacksmith] Nothing, no one,

is ever truly lost.

[gasps]

And what of you?

Are you lost?

No, no. Uh-- I just--

My friends went somewhere else.

[sizzles]

You're doing this all alone?

[grunts]

Ruby?

I don't think we're supposed to be here.

Are you her guide, little one?

Yes. Ruby is my friend, and I wanna help her get home.

Even though I don't know where that is or how to get there.

[Blacksmith] Hmm.

You seem to be carrying a rather large burden with you.

I'm fine. I can handle it.

If you change your mind,

you may choose any one of these you like...

and set your burden down.

-[hammer clanging] -Oh.

I already have a weapon.

I did.

And yet here you are.

[clanging continues]

Searching for something else that you do not even know.

[clanging increases]

[Curious Cat] Ruby? Ruby?

-Ruby? -[gasps]

Who are you talking to?

Did you retrieve the nose hair?

[Hawker] Come on, try our mud cookies. They're delicious.

Uh...

No. Not just yet, but--

Ruby, come on. We got everything else.

I, uh, I-- I'm sorry. Heh.

Is that the Teapot Lady?

Best mud cookies you've ever had!

Welcome to Things 'n' Things.

How can I help you?

Looking for nose hairs.

No, not the ogre ones.

[grumbles]

[fireworks exploding]

[people chattering indistinctly]

Whoo-hoo! A festival.

Jabberwalker! It's the Jabberwalker!

Or not.

[all shouting]

[grunting]

Wait, please. We need the leprechaun nose hairs.

No time!

Here, I'll give you this.

It-- It carries a mother's promise.

[gasps]

[Teapot Lady] Take it.

This is exceedingly bad.

Wait. What's a Jabberwalker?

It's a truly terrible creature.

If the Jabberwalker eats one of us,

we do not ascend.

Huh?

How do we make the parfait thing?

Toss everything in here.

But be careful.

Eat too much, and we'll have to shrink you back again.

And that's a completely different potion.

[dramatic music playing]

[gasps]

It wasn't enough.

-Found ! Grab! Eat! Kill ! -[Little squeaks]

[grunts]

No!

[growling]

Prey! Eat! Devour!

[shouting]

-[Curious Cat] Run! -[Ruby] What's he doing here?

I gave him something new to do for the moment.

Now go!

Your friends need to get big again, or we're Jabberwalker dinner.

[both shouting]

[groans]

[grunts]

[suspenseful music playing]

It's the Rusted Knight.

Get the parfait!

[Yang] Ah! Finally.

? Now, the first step ?

Ruby, follow me.

[Jabberwalker grunts]

[rock music playing]

[Jabberwalker growls]

[Yang shouts]

I said, I wasn't done with you yet!

Neo?

[gasps]

-Huh? -[growling]

-What? There's only supposed to be one. -Aah!

[Jabberwalkers growling]

What?

Run!

This way!

-Ruby, come on. -[Curious Cat] Go!

We'll hold them off.

[Hawker squawks]

[Jabberwalkers roaring]

[Hawker grunting]

[Hawker screaming]

[distant clamoring]

[Teapot Lady sobbing]

I am so tired of leaving places in ashes.

I can't believe it, the Rusted Knight.

In person!

You did good, Juniper.

[trills]

Team RWBY.

[Blake gasps]

You finally made it.
