[judge] You are hereby sentenced to community service

without magic!

You can't escape!

Except... find the elevator.

- [baby cooing] - I couldn't live with myself

if I didn't at least try to find the gnomes for her.

- [farts] - [giggles]

I want you to have this.

It shines brightly when it detects evil.

[Brunty] Gnomes!

Keep them digging until we find it!

♪ Tense music playing ♪

[growling]

Useless gnomes.

Why haven't they found my treasure yet?!

- [both whimper] - We have been working them

day and night, sire.

Why don't we just eat them all?

Heh. That will motivate them!

Right? [chuckles] Oh!

Ah, yes.

But if you eat them all,

who would dig for my treasure?

[grunts]

Oh... right. [sheepish chuckle]

I will handle this now.

♪ Tense music continues ♪

[panting]

Heed my warning!

If you don't find my treasure by dawn,

bid farewell to the sun,

for it will be the last time

you witness it rise!

We got to get out of here.

[flames roaring]

Alright, everyone.

We all heard the Shadow Man.

It's do or die.

So we're breaking out of here tonight!

- [all cheering] - Jail break!

The plan is we dig one last tunnel:

an escape tunnel.

One small enough that no one can follow us.

Kevyn, Simon, Millie, you'll lead the charge.

Yay! I love dirt!

It's so... dirty!

Mmm! Come here, dirt!

Hate to burst your bubble,

but the earth down here is too dense.

It'll take way past sunrise to clear a tunnel that long.

Then we dig closer to the surface!

Topsoil is much softer.

We'd cover the same distance in half the time!

[gasps] A marvelous idea!

If we venture east, we can resurface here.

And while you all dig,

I'll stay behind, sending up treasure

so the ogres think we're still working.

What, alone?

- No chance. - It takes at least three

to raise the crane,

so I'll stay too!

- He's so brave! - And he's handsome!

I too will stay behind...

heroically!

- [clanks] - Ow!

Oh. Thanks,

but you'll probably be safer in the tunnel.

Uh, yeah. I'm getting that. I-I got that.

Great. So Simon, Rovak and I will stay,

then we'll meet you at the old dig site.

- Mm-hmm! - Affirmative!

This won't be easy.

Everyone is depending on us.

Queen Nerelia is missing her people.

Parents are missing their children.

[crying]

Baby Sam is missing her dads.

We cannot let any of them down.

So we're not going to.

Now let's break out of here once and for all!

[all cheer]

[buzzer buzzes]

- [clacks] - [air whooshes]

Ah! If I'm ever going to escape

and help the Midknights on their quest,

I must find that elevator.

But how?

- [aggressive honk] - [gasps]

Yes, yes, I know.

Back to work.

Heaven forbid the levers aren't pulled.

[beeps]

Holy ham, that's not the same room!

[gasps] Their door leads to a different area!

Perhaps the elevator is through there!

[error beeps]

Aw! Argh!

Blast this low security clearance!

The only way out of here is with a penguin's ID!

[gasps]

Hmm...

Remarkable work, everyone! [giggles] Ack!

[grunts softly]

- [thud] - [grunts] Millie!

Would you stop throwing dirt into my face?

It's impeding my con... [spits] my concentration!

Where am I supposed to put it, the sky?

Oh, wait, that's a great idea!

[sputters]

Better there than in my mouth!

Let the dirt float above the clouds for all eternity!

Pfft! Not for eternity, silly!

What goes up must come down.

Eventually.

[chirps]

[grunting]

[grunts] Just a few more loads, then we can join the others.

[growling]

Whoa!

[Ogre D] Keep working, gnomes!

Or I'll come down there and eat you all!

[cackles]

I hope Kevyn, Millie, and the others are doing okay.

I think not.

[low growling]

-♪ tense music playing -[grunting, panting]

Okay. Looks like we're finally deep enough.

The ogres can't reach us!

And we're only slightly off-course.

At this pace, we'll reach our rendezvous point

within the hour!

[sighs]

I know it's tough, Millie,

but we'll be out of here soon.

Oh, it's not that.

I just miss my dirt. [sniffs]

I hope it's not too lonely up there in the sky.

Mama loves you!

We really gotta get some fresh oxygen down here.

Uh, Kevyn?

Where's your beard?

[gasping] It's gone!

And so is yours!

First my dirt and now my beard?!

[grunting]

The tunnel is getting smaller! Ahh!

No, we're growing back to human size!

- [groans] - Ooh, this is tight!

- [sighs] - We're stuck!

My potion must have worn off!

Ugh, Millie, can't you get anything right?

Not to worry, we'll just push.

[grunting]

- [clanks] - Ahh! [whimpers]

It's not working!

There might be another way...

[squeaking, chattering]

[low growling]

Just let us go and... [gasps]

Huh?

Whoa! Uh...

- Ah... - Hmm.

A child?

[gasps]

How curious.

Have you come to take my gnomes?

They're not your gnomes.

They don't belong to anyone!

[laughs] That doesn't matter to me.

I would capture every species on this planet

before I let my treasure slip away!

But alas, these pathetic gnomes

have failed to meet my expectations.

So they, and you,

must perish.

Go ahead, eat them all!

That's no rat. That's a gopher!

We're in a bit of a tight spot! Think you can help?

They're supposed to meet us here.

Where is everyone?

What if they were captured by the ogres?!

- [rumbling] - But, uh...

Wait, what's that?

Stand back!

Don't thank me.

Thank you, Midknights.

And how about three cheers for our champion, Rovak!

What do you mean you're going back?

Hold up. Max wants to go back?

- Back where? - To the dig site.

Where we justescaped from.

Okay, I know this is weird coming from me,

but is that a good idea?

I concur. We barely escaped unscathed.

Max, you promised at the beginning of this quest

that we'd find the gnomes and go straight home.

I know. I'm-I'm sorry,

but we can't just let the Shadow Man go free.

He said he would capture every species on this planet

to find his treasure!

So what are you proposing?

I propose we capture him.

Take him back to Byjovia and bring him to King Conrad

to face justice once and for all.

But what about all the ogres?

How are we supposed to deal with them?

Okay, well two of them knocked each other out.

And the others got buried in the dirt that fell from the sky.

Oh, yeah! Mama's dirt!

It's the Shadow Man versus the Midknights.

All we have to do is corner him, tie him up,

and get him back to Byjovia.

Look, I'm sorry for breaking my promise, Simon.

But I can't risk anyone else ending up like Baby Sam.

[sighs heavily]

I hate it when you're right.

Thank you for trusting me.

Hey, Midknights, you coming?

Where are you going?

You mind watching over the gnomes 'til we get back?

We're gonna go stop the Shadow Man.

Uncle Budrick, you stay with Rovak.

Oh, thank goodness! I was hoping you'd say that.

That guy gives me the hooie-wooies!

Go get him, Sir Max!
