Ready, Racers?
On your marks...
get set...
Mortimer, you got this.
...drrrrop!
(all cheering)
Congratulations, Stump Kids.
You just won an entire week's
worth of snacks at the Trading Tree,
completely on me.
How do you plan on spending your winnings?
I'm going to eat a billion Choco-Rolls!
We’re all out of Choco-Rolls.
What? Seriously?
Well, do you have any Spicy Beefers?
I'm out of those, too.
- Flim flams? - Sprinkle Paws?
- Dipamoos?
No, no, aaaand...
no.
No, I'm sorry, Kit.
You. Owe. I.
Well, what do you have?
I don't have anything.
The Trading Tree is out of snacks!
all: No snacks?!
Kids: No snacks?
What are we gonna eat?
(kids murmuring)
Aaaaah!
Kids of the creek! Do not worry!
The Trading Tree is the heart of our creek civilization
and the only place we can all get super sugary snacks
that our parents won't let us have.
We're not going to let it shut down!
I'm going to get our snacks back,
and that's a promise!
(cheering)
Kit is focusing too much on trades
and not enough on grades.
W-Wait, you're not going to put her in summer school, are you?
Hey, now! You know, I hadn't even thought of that,
but that's not a bad idea!
I think Kit would absolutely benefit from summer school.
(gasps)
- N - N - N - N - N - No! - But, Grammy, I-
Now, if you'll excuse me, my stories are on.
And Devin’s evil twin is back, ooh, child.
Well, I guess I'll see y‘all in the fall.
You're on your own now.
Eh. What do you guys see?
Uh...
I - I see... two Sprinkle Paws...
Mint chocolate chip, limited edition. Oh!
I see...
a green Choco-Roll and...
an orange soda.
Hey, can I be cherry soda instead?
(laughs) Ah, thank you.
Ugh, what are you guys talking about?
All I see is a...
giant bag of Spicy Beefers...
Oh, yeah.
Aaahhhhhh!
Stop trying to eat me!
(gasps) Guys!
The creek is filled with Squishers!
- What? - What?
There's so many of them.
Let me see that!
The Mark of the Mill?
These are from the king on the other side of the creek!
This can't be good.
We've gotta assemble the Council of the Creek and get to the overpass.
Turn your ships around and leave!
You and your Floral Guard aren’t welcome on this side of the creek.
Hello, there!
I am King Xavier!
You've heard of me probably.
The king can't be trusted.
We've tried to warn you all before.
If we let him in, we aren't just accepting free candy.
It comes with a price.
Look, our side may have its issues,
but we're free to play how we want and do what we want.
And if we want to keep things that way, we cannot let the king enter our side.
Well, not exactly the warm welcome we were expecting,
but thank you all!
You won't regret this.
You’ll see we're going to be very...
good... friends.
Now, if you don't mind...
step aside.
You heard the Council!
Majority rules!
Take a hike, Greeny.
I guess one vote really can make a difference.
Omar! Wait!
How dramatic.
Anyway, onward!
The creek is doomed.
Introducing the bringer of candy,
the donor of balls, the savior from the other side,
the one and only
King Xavier!
- Wha? - What?
(cheering)
Hey, hey! Hello, everyone!
It's me, King Xavier.
Though, that's awfully formal sounding, isn't it?
You could just call me “Your Highness,”
or “Your Majesty” if it's more comfortable for you.
There's a list of approved titles. The Blur will distribute copies.
H- Hello?
Is this Craig's mom?
Well, I was playing...
at the creek...
and your son, he-
he... he pushed me!
(crying)
You lied! But why would you do that?
I never touched you!
You got off lucky.
I could’ve messed with your report card like I did with your friend Kit.
(gasps)
This is my creek now.
I know how we can stop the king!
But we're going to have to go to the creek.
(gasps)
If we're losing the creek,
we're not gonna go down without a fight.
We are gonna challenge him to a winner-takes-all game
of Capture the Flag.
Here's the deal-
We both want each other out of the creek,
but neither of us is leaving.
So, I think there's only one solution.
What is this? Your blankie?
I'm not trading you the creek for your blankie!
No, it’s not my- Look!
I'm proposing a game of Capture the Flag.
Your side versus mine.
If we win, you and your kingdom are done terrorizing the creek,
and kids can go back to playing how they want.
And if you win,
I'll leave the creek. Forever.
You're on, Craig of the...
Where is it you play now?
We'll just have to see.
Till then, sweet dreams.
Okay, get him!
Jason: He's gone!
Where the heck did he- Huh?
See ya in the funny papers, Kingy!
What?
Saturday!
Capture...
the flag!
(kids shouting)
Remember, paintballers, we're now in enemy territory.
One touch and you’re tagged.
Let’s go!
(kids shouting)
(groans)
Aaah!
My troops are getting freeze tagged left and right!
(laughing)
You don't know how good this feels.
Everything you've done.
All the times you've been a thorn in my side.
It's all led to this.
You've been outsmarted by me!
And now you're going to get tagged -- by me!
And you're going to lose your precious creek
to me!
You're not a real king.
You're just a bully
that gives kids candy so they do what you want.
That's why, no matter how much candy you have,
deep down, you know that these kids only want to be friends with “the king,”
but nobody wants to be friends with Xavier.
(growls) Shut your mouth!
Whoa-aah!
(grunts)
Gotcha!
Ahh!
Give it!
Never!
No! I’ll freeze you first!
Huh?
