[Max] Previously, on Max & The Midknights...

[Uncle Budrick] By Jove! It's Byjovia!

- [bell tolls] - [man coughs]

- [squeaking] - What happened?

Byjovia has suffered at King Gastley's cruel hands.

Well, I say we storm the castle,

fight this Gastley guy, and find a new king!

Girls aren't allowed to become knights, Max.

What?!

I discovered a prophecy about you, Max!

- Say what now? - [Kevyn] You must slay a dragon

to become a knight,

and restore the king to end the kingdom's plight.

[Max] We won't run.

We have to protect King Conrad!

[narrator] A long, long time ago...

Wait, make that a long, long, long time ago.

Yes, three longs, that's better.

...an evil emerged from the shadows

and took the form of a man.

In his cruelty and greed,

he sought power through deception.

Luckily, the forces of good overcame evil

and the man was swiftly captured.

A unique punishment was devised,

to ensure that all would be safe.

[echoing thud]

[narrator] The tomb was left to time and darkness,

and soon the man was all but forgotten.

But his captors were foolish.

For, although you may try to bury it,

evil only grows in the dark.

And no evil can remain buried forever...
