- But, Queen Nerelia... - Run!

Find my people.

The Midknights and I will go.

[Kevyn] No, he's hatching!

Gotcha!

[screeches]

[Uncle Budrick] Let me handle this.

- [affectionate chirping] - [Max and Millie laughing]

We've come upon a series of craters in the earth

with no explanation.

Mumblin the Magician, you are hereby sentenced

to community service...

without magic!

- Your Honor, I demand... - [gavel bangs]

Huh? Uh, um, Your Honor?

Your Honor?

Oh. Where am I? Some sort of factory?

Well, our quest certainly hasn't gone the way I thought it would.

But the Gnomes of Tresk are still missing

so we have to get back on track.

Queen Nerelia is counting on us.

And I'm not gonna let her or little baby Sam down.

[Simon] And then Uncle Budrick hatched from his egg

and instead of getting eaten,

he bonded with the Honk

and she agreed to give us a ride!

Wow, son! This quest just keeps getting wilder!

It really does.

I'm just glad Millie enchanted this pear

so I can talk to you both.

- I miss you guys. - [Alice] We miss you too.

- Please be careful, Simon. - [Millie gasps]

Is that Mom and Dad?

Whoa.

[Nolan] Son, is there something wrong with your mirroring book?

None of your entries have been coming through to our book.

[nervously] Oh, that's odd.

I've written every day!

I'll be sure to try again later. [nervous chuckle]

Hey, guys! Have you seen Mumblin?

He never showed up after his trial.

Really? We haven't seen him either.

That's so strange.

Very strange.

Well, gotta go. Bye! Love ya both!

- [Nolan] Uh, bye! We love you! - [Alice] Love you too!

- [Nolan] Buh-bye now! - [Millie] Simon, think fast.

Ooh! Ah! Millie!

Be careful. We only have one of these!

Max, we're approaching Tresk!

Well, that's one way to get this quest back on track.

I'm Rovak!

Wait a minute. Did you say Max?

[gasps] Why, you're Max and the Midknights!

I've read all about you!

You-you're the bravest heroes in all the land!

What are you doing out here?

Queen Nerelia sent us to rescue you.

[gasps] Queen Nerelia?! Is she okay?

Yes, yes! She made it to Byjovia.

With baby Sam!

[Grunty] Ugh!

How could you mistake a gopher for a kid?!

Whatever!

Come out, tasty little children!

Uh, maybe we should save the "getting to know you" for later?

[laughs] That is such a Simon thing to say.

Huh, that bush right there!

[grunting and growling]

[pants] Are they still back there?

I think we lost them!

But I saw a cottage we can take shelter in.

Yeah, Battle for Byjovia, long time, too long.

We're on the run from ogres. Think we can catch up inside?

Excuse all the lavender.

Lenny! Lenny, Lenny, Lenny. [laughs]

I can't believe you're here!

By the way, where ishere?

And what is Outpost 71?

[scoffs] Beats me. All I know is I've been here

ever since my trial.

Your trial? You're doing community service too?

Did you mess with fate?

No, much worse:

I ate Betty's yogurt outta the fridge at Shady Acres.

How was I supposed to know that stuff wasn't communal?

Um... Because her name was on it?

Anyway, I've been here ever since,

pulling these farkakte levers on the wall.

A-ha. What do they do?

No clue. I just know I gotta pull 'em.

All day. Every day.

It's really boring. Luckily, it's my last day!

[Mumblin] Congratulations.

Wonder how long I have.

[birds squawk and hoot]

Okay, so ya see, after Max defeated Fendra,

we decided to turn her cottage

into our very own bed and breakfast!

B&B's B&B!

What do you think of all the new curtains?!

Great, aren't they?

We're curtain-crazy!

I'm confused.

Wasn't this place in the Trail of the Dead?

It was!

Whoa! Look at all these magical potions.

Whoops.

Hmm. Wonder what that one does.

[Bean] Eh, probably nothing.

Our customers really like the whole witch motif!

Especially her potions!

Ooh! Show me! Show me! Show me!

Bup-bup-bup!

Do I have to remind you

what happened the last time

you got near Fendra's things?

[shrieking]

Aw! Sweet memories.

[clears throat] I mean, you're right.

You're right. I'll stay away.

Guys, do you think we can stay here for the night?

Like I was saying, these ogres are looking for us and Rovak.

Well, sure!

Although we only have one bed.

Um, not to be rude, but you operate a hotel

yet you only have one bed?

Oh!

Maybe that's why the reviews have been so bad.

[Max] Thank you so much, Bean and Barley!

Rovak, can you tell us anything about the missing gnomes?

Well, it all started the night the ogres showed up in Tresk.

We were just finishing up our day's work with a lovely song.
