(Dumbo Park is shown as it was 18 years ago. A young Beau is juggling.)

Beau: (He Chuckles.) Up and down and in and out.

Kid #1: Yay.

Kid #2: Cowboy.

Kid #1: Yay.

Kid #2: Yay, whoo-hoo.

Man: (He pats his pockets) Where is my... Stop! Thief! Right there. Someone get him!

(The kids bump into each other, and the first one loses his balloon. Beau runs after the pickpocketer, throwing his juggling balls at him. Hannah appears around the corner and punches the thief in the face, flipping him to the ground.)

Hannah: Not so fast, creep. You better get out of here and clean up your act.

(The thief runs off, and Hannah passes the wallet to Beau.)

Beau: And here you go.

Man: Thank you so much. That was amazing.

Hannah: Come on, Cowboy.

(Beau and the first kid watch the balloon float away.)

Beau: Hey, buddy. I know it's hard to lose something you love, but you never know what you might find next. (He pulls a coin from behind the kid's ear and gives it to him.)

Hannah: (She Chuckles.) Come on, Beau. It's dream time.

Beau: (He laughs.) Gotcha. All right, kids, gotta go. Get yourself a new balloon, okay?

Kid #1: Aw.

Kid #2: I love you, Cow-Beau.

(The observatory is shown at night)

Beau: (He chuckles.) Pretty nifty moves catching that perp back there.

Hannah: You weren't so bad yourself. You were great with those kids. Those families were really taken with you.

Beau: So I was thinking.

Hannah: Dangerous, but intriguing.

Beau: (He Chuckles.) There's a new fusion restaurant around the corner. Um, maybe tomorrow you'd like-

(A young Oz appears.)

Oz: (Shouting) Darn it all.

(Beau and Hannah gasp.)

Beau: Oz! What are you doing here?

Oz: I can't for the life of me find any information on destroying that thing.

Hannah: What thing?

Oz: But I know it's possible, and we must find a way to do it.

Beau: (He sighs.) Do what?

Oz: It can't possibly be harder than facing the Nightmare King and claiming the sword in the first place. Beau, Hannah, we must find a way to destroy the Nightmare King's sword.

(Hanna and Beau look each other. Intro plays. Oz, Beau and Hannah are at a computer)

Abraham: And on behalf of the Night Bureau, I would like to congratulate and thank the Brooklyn branch for capturing the Nightmare King.

Oz: Thank you, Grand Inspector Abraham.

Abraham: Unfortunately, I have some dire news. I've called you here tonight because with Lunia's disappearance on my watch, which I do take full responsibility for, I will be stepping down from my position as Grand Inspector of the Night Bureau.

Oz: What?

Hannah: But it wasn't your fault. Please don't do this.

Beau: Surely we can still find her.

Abraham: It has been an honor to work with all of you, truly. And I'm very happy to pass along the torch to you, Agent Oswald.

(Oz gasps.)

Beau: Hey-ey!

Oz: So I would be in charge of...

Abraham: Night Bureau International.

Oz: And our current missions?

Abraham: All missions will be assigned to your proteges and other Dream Chasers effective immediately. Perhaps you can even assign some to Agent Royce here.

(Royce looks displeased on the screen)

Oz: Grand Inspector, I thank you, but I have unfinished business. I need to find a way to destroy the Nightmare King's sword.

Abraham: Hmm... very well. One last task. Take the sword to the Gnorfs in the Fantasy Realm. Ask for the Unmaker. She'll know what to do with it.

Oz: Thank you, Grand Inspector.

Abraham: And Agent Oswald, do it quickly. The Night Bureau needs leadership, and others maybe interested in this position.

Oz: Royce. Understood.

---

(The Spacebus flies through the Dream World)

Albert: What's there to think about? Aren't you excited to lead the entire Night Bureau?

Oz: Yes, of course. But if Grand Inspector Abraham is stepping down, it means that they've given up on Lunia. If only I had been there.

(Hannah looks down sadly.)

Oz: Ah, I-- I didn't mean it like that.

Hannah: No, I know. It's okay. I think about it every day. I feel horrible that you had to leave Lunia's side to save me from the Night Terror.

Beau: Well, I'm glad he did.

(Beau and Hannah nudge each other playfully)

Albert: I know you miss Lunia. I just don't want you to miss this opportunity.

Oz: Let's just find the Unmaker and get this Gnorf to destroy the Nightmare King's sword.

Hannah: About that. Are we sure we wanna destroy the Nightmare King's sword? (Oz and Albert look esch other.) Hear me out. The sword itself isn't evil. It depends on who wields it. And with Lunia missing, if something else threatens the Dream World, we'll need all the help we can get.

Beau: The sword is much too powerful for anyone to possess. What if the Nightmare King escaped and took it back?

Hannah: We would never let that happen.

Albert: And we're here.

(The Spacebus lands in the Fantasy Realm. Everyone looks at the home of the Gnorfs, except for Oz, who notices a symbol on a tree.)

Oz: Einstein's mustache! Albert, look. (He runs away.)

Albert: What is it, what are you doing?

Oz: These runes. Look at them. They're Dream Keeper runes!

Beau: Like the ones on Lunia's hourglass?

Oz: Precisely. This is a sign. It must be her. She know we were coming here and left this clue for me to come find her.

Albert: Whoa there, bucko. I think something's jamming up your thinking gears.

Oz: I know I'm meant to be here. I can feel it. She's calling me. You go ahead. I'm gonna find Lunia.

(Oz throws the sword and Beau manages to catch it.)

Albert: Gosh darn it, I'm... gonna go look after Oz. Y'all good to go on up ahead?

(They split up. Beau knocks on the gnorfs' door.)

Hannah: How do we know we can trust these Gnorfs? Especially with the most powerful weapon in the Dream World.

Unmaker: (Through door.) Who would come all this way to disturb the Gnorfs?

(Horse neighing plays.)

Hannah: We're agents of the Night Bureau. We're here to see the, uh... Unmaker?

Unmaker: Dream Chasers!

(The Unmaker opens the door.)

Unmaker: Come in, come in.

(They enter the house and the Unmaker closes the door. Inside the house, another Gnorf, who is at high speed, is working.)

Unmaker: So, do the Dream Chasers have names?

Hannah: I'm Hannah, and this is Beau.

Unmaker: I love Dream Chasers. It's great to meet you. It happens so rarely these days. I am the Dame of Destruction, the Artifact Assassin, the Relic Wrecker, the one and only Unmaker!

(Horse neighing plays.)

Unmaker: So why did you come to see me?

Beau: We were told you would know how to destroy this.

(The Unmaker sees the sword.)

Unmaker: Maker, take a break. We've got a big one.

(The Maker stops her work and hangs up a watch)

Maker: What is so important that you disturbed my work, sister?

(Beau sets down the sword.)

Maker: Is that...?

Unmaker: The Nightmare King's sword.

Beau: Can you destroy it? Unmake it?

(The Gnorfs look each other.)

---

(Oz runs laughing through the Fantasy Realm)

Albert: Oz, old friend, this is not why we came here.

Oz: Albert, we're about to find Lunia. Soon we won't have to worry about anything. (He stars running away.)

Albert: Hmm.

(Albert resumes running after Oz, unaware of two shadows flying close behind. They find another tree with a rune, causing Oz to gasp and laugh.)

Albert: That ain't no proof. You and I know these runes could have been left here by any Dream Keeper.

Oz: Come on. Who else would be leaving runes out here in the middle of nowhere except someone who wants to be found?

(They see two Night Terrors landing in front of them.)

Oz: Night Terrors? (One of them flies towards the two.) Now I know I'm onto something.

(Albert passes under the Night Terror, then Oz dream crafts two Lumi-Casters, dodges the Night Terror and throws one of the Lumi-Casters to Albert, who jumps and catches it.)

Albert: (He grunts.) Come on!

(Albert dodges the Night Terror by somersaulting while Oz evades the attacks of the other Night Terror.)

Oz: Come on. (He fires at it.) Take that. (He keeps shooting, but Night Terror dodges.)

(Albert falls.)

Albert: Darn these stinkin' Night Terrors. Highly unpredictable with the Nightmare King in the slammer. (The Night Terror dives to attack him, but he dodges, retrieves the Lumi-Caster from the ground, and fires a laser at the Night Terror, destroying it.) Whoo-ee! (He laughs.) One down. (To Oz.) I'm happy for your promotion, but dang, I'll miss our adventures.

(Oz steps back and the Night Terror snatches the Lumi-Caster from his hand. Then, he creates a frying pan to strike the creature and push it away.)

Oz: Yeah. Me too.

(The Night Terror dives to attack Oz, but Albert jumps, fires a laser from the Lumi Caster at it, destroys it, and then lands.)

Albert: All good things come to an end, partner.

(Oz seems thoughtful.)

---

(Beau and Hannah are awaiting the Gnorfs' decision.)

Unmaker: We have decided to grant your request and Unmake the sword. But you see, the price of Unmaking is an object for the next Making. That is the cycle. I Unmake, and in turn, my sister takes that object and Makes something new.

Hannah: Oh, okay. Sure, that makes sense... I guess.

Beau: So, what's the price for Unmaking it?

Unmaker: The sword is most powerful. We will require something equally powerful in return. The Spear of the Keeper.

(Horse neighing plays.)

Maker: (She giggles.) This legendary weapon is embedded deep in the heart of the statue of Shin, the Dream Keeper who chose power over love.

Hannah: Legendary weapon?

Unmaker: Yes. Regretting his actions, Shin plunged the spear into his own heart.

Maker: The statue of Shin is hidden deep in the forest. (She shows them the Locator.) Take this compass to guide your way.

(Beau picks up the Locator.)

Beau: So, if you know where it is, why don't you just go get it yourself?

(The Gnorfs scoff and the horse neighing plays.)

Beau: Another adventure. (To Hannah.) Just you and me.

Hannah: As long as you don't let me fall into another pit of ticklish gloom worms again.

Beau: Oh, you just wanted to see me jump in after you.

(The Unmaker picks up the sword.)

Unmaker: You must take this with you too. (She approaches them.) Until our deal is done, it is your responsibility.

(Beau picks up the sword and leaves with Hannah. They walk through the Fantasy Realm and Beau looks at the Locator.)

Beau: I think we're getting close.

Hannah: Hey, Beau?

Beau: (He stops.) What's up?

Hannah: About the sword.

Beau: Wait, you're not still thinking about keeping it, are you?

Hannah: Why wouldn't we?

Beau: It's dangerous, and it needs to be destroyed.

Hannah: Then what? What happens next time we're outmatched?

Beau: We're Dream Chasers. We improvise. It's our job, and we'd figure it out together.

Hannah: Figure it out? Lunia's the one who trapped the Nightmare King, and you know it.

Beau: I know, but...

Hannah: What happens if the Nightmare King escapes and we don't have a powerful weapon? How many friends are you willing to lose? Oz? Albert? Me?

Beau: Why would I lose you?

Hannah: I wouldn't hesitate to wield that sword to save you.

(Beau starts to think, but then hears growls.)

Beau: Night Terrors! Look sharp.

(Two Night Terrors appear and confront Beau and Hannah, but a third one appears, surrounding the pair. This Night Terror tries to attack them, but they split up, and then Hannah dream crafts a spear and uses it to fight the creatures, while Beau makes a bow and shoots arrows at another Night Terror, unaware of another one diving behind to attack him, but Hannah destroys it by throwing her spear at it.)

Hannah: One down. Wouldn't it be great with a more powerful weapon?

(Hannah dodges an attack from a Night Terror and dream crafts another spear, but Beau destroys it by shooting an arrow from his bow.)

Beau: (He shouts approaches Hannah.) Are you saying I can't handle a few rogues?

(Beau fires more arrows at the Night Terrors, and Hannah attacks another.)

Hannah: No, you're more than capable. That's one of the things I love about...

(Hannah realizes what she was saying and Beau smiles.)

Beau: What was that?

(A Night Terror dives to attack Beau, but Hannah jumps in to save him, then leaps back down and destroys the Night Terror with her spear as she lands.)

Beau: Wait, wait. What were you gonna say?

(Hannah becomes embarrassed and walks away, while a curious Beau follows her.)

---

(Oz and Albert continue following the path of the trees and runes.)

Albert: But what if Lunia really is gone.

Oz: That's not possible. It can't be. (He and Albert stop beside another tree with a rune.) She left these clues here for me to find her. And when I do, Abraham won't even have to step down, and I won't even have to decide about the position. (He walks again.)

Albert: Wait, you don't wanna be the Great Inspector? (He runs to Oz.) This is a major opportunity.

Oz: (He gasps sharply.) Look.

(A light shines.)

Albert: What?

(They see a silhouette in the light.)

Oz: It's Lunia!

---

(Hannah and Beau continue walking.)

Beau: So, Hannah?

Hannah: (She stops.) Yeah, what's up?

Beau: What were you saying before?

Hannah: I think we should keep the sword.

Beau: No, no, no, I... you know, after that. Um... you think I'm capable... (He chuckles.) and that's something you... I couldn't quite hear you.

Hannah: Nope. Don't know what you're talking about.

(They start walking again.)

Beau: You know, you're pretty capable yourself.

(They stop again.)

Hannah: (She giggles.) Oh, stop it.

Beau: You said something about...

Oz: (Off screen.) Lunia!

Hannah: What?

(They run and find Oz and Albert.)

Beau: Oz, what are you doing here?

Albert: Einstein here thought this statue was Lunia.

(The silhouette from before is revealed to be a statue with a spear in its left breast.)

Albert: Oh, my dogs are barking. You've been chasing this wild goose for too long. (He crosses his arms and sits down.)

Oz: But... the runes led us here.

(Albert realizes that Beau and Hannah still have the Nightmare King's sword.)

Albert: Weren't y'all supposed to get rid of that?

(Beau wields the sword.)

Hannah: Workin' on it. In exchange to Unmake the sword, we're supposed to retrieve that.

Beau: The Spear of the Keeper.

Hannah: Shin the legendary Dream Keeper. (She and Beau approach the statue.) Not what I was expecting.

Albert: Ah, the Dream Keeper runes were leading us to the statue of a Dream Keeper, (To Oz.) who isn't Lunia! Fancy that.

Oz: So it was never Lunia...

Beau: Shin chose power over love. I wonder what happened.

Albert: (He gets up.) As far as I remember, story goes that when he chose power over love, his heart filled with evil intent. The only way to stop the evil in his heart was to plunge the spear in of his own chest. (A clang is heard.) What the?

(It is shown that Hannah removed the spear from the statue.)

Hannah: What? We're here to get this thing, right?

(Hannah steps away. The statue's hand begins to move unnoticed. Hannah plays with the spear.)

Hannah: Oh, this is nice. Do we really have to sack it to destroy another wicked weapon?

Beau: You really didn't get the lesson behind the legend, did ya?

Hannah: There was a lesson?

(The statue comes to life completely and walks towards them.)

Albert: Yeah, evil in the heart. (He, Beau, and Oz run away.) And don't steal from strange statues!

(The statue runs and retrieves its spear from Hannah's hand.)

Hannah: Ooh, that's not good.

(Hanna and Beau dream craft their weapons, the latter shooting arrows at the statue, but it has no effect. Hannah and the statue jump, and the statue kicks Hannah, knocking her down.)

Hannah: Ooh, double not good.

(The statue throws its spear at Hannah, but Beau dream crafts a rope and saves her. The statue tries to attack Albert and Oz, but they dodge, and Oz dream crafts two Lumi-Casters for himself and Albert, and they fire them, but they have no effect. Hannah crafts a mass of thorns and attacks the statue, but it has no effect, then the statue attacks, but Hannah dodges. The statue turns to Oz and Albert and attacks them again, with Oz dream crafting a shield to protect himself, but it fails. Beau shoots more arrows at the statue, which runs towards him and tries to attack him, but he is saved by Hannah. The statue runs towards them, then Oz throws his shield at it, giving Beau and Hannah time to retreat, with Beau dropping his hourglass. He tries to pick it up, but is prevented when the statue throws its spear in front of him, pushing his hourglass further away, so he retreats lying on the ground.)

Beau: My hourglass!

Hannah: Forget your hourglass. Our weapons are useless against him. (She tries to attack the statue once more, but is knocked down with a single blow.)

(The statue begins to walk toward Hannah. Beau picks up the Nightmare King's sword and begins to want to use it. The statue prepares to kill Hannah, then Beau and the sword begin to glow with corruptive energy.)

Beau: (Shouting.) No!

(Beau leaps forward and strikes the statue multiple times with the Nightmare King's sword, then lets out an evil laugh, terrifying Hannah, Albert, and Oz. Both the statue and the spear are obliterated by the sword's power, then Beau lands and the corruptive energy begins to transform and corrupt the Fantasy Realm.)

Hanna: (She gets up.) What? What did you just do? (She approaches him slowly.)

Beau: What I had to do. What you've been saying we should do all day. And you were right. This sword was the only thing that could have saved you.

Hannah: No, you were right. Now that I've seen that thing in action, it must be destroyed.

Beau: You would've died! You matter to me more than anything, and I'm going to protect you!

Hannah: Like fun you are. I can take care of myself.

Beau: I know!

(Beau pants, then Hannah places her hand on his, calming him and reverting him and the Fantasy Realm back to normal.)

Beau: That's one of the things I love about you.

(Albert and Oz smile when they see that Beau has returned to normal.)

Hannah: Well... I love you, too.

(She moves closer to him and kisses him on the mouth, causing him to drop the sword.)

Albert: (He chuckles.) You owe me a trip to the beaches of Tropicanesia

---

(Later, the Brooklyn branch returns to the Spacebus, with a dejected Oz right behind.)

Hannah: (To Albert.) Is he okay?

(They stop and turn toward Oz.)

Albert: Y'all go and do the thing. I think Oswald needs a minute.

(Hannah and Beau walk towards the Gnorfs' house, while Albert sits on the steps of the Spacebus and talks to Oz.)

Albert: Look, I know you're bummed we didn't find Lunia. But look at the bright side, you're gonna be the--

Oz: I'm not taking the Grand Inspector job.

Albert: Come again?

Oz: I thought it was what I wanted. But being out here for Beau and Hannah, being responsible for my agents, I don't wanna lose that.

Albert: You wanna keep putting young Dreamers in perilous situations? You got a real dark streak in there, Ozzy.

Oz: No. I wanna be there for my team. And you, Albert. (Albert smiles when he hears Oz say that.) A Grand Inspector has to look at the big picture. I'm happier here, focusing on the ones who matter the most to me.

Albert: So that means Royce is Grand Inspector

(Oz groans and then watches Beau and Hannah approach the Gnorfs' house.)

Beau: (To Hannah.) Wait, hear me out.

Hannah: Beau...

Beau: We don't have the spear, so we can't even pay for the sword to be Unmade. Let's take it and leave. (He grabs her hands.) We're a perfect team. You and me... Protectors of the Dream World. If we have kids, we can give them whatever they dream of and keep the Dream World safe for them. We can be unbeatable if we're together. We can do this. What do you say?

(Hannah spins Beau around and kisses him, then Beau knocks on the door.)

Unmaker: (Through door.) You did it? I mean, of course you did it. (She opens the door.) Congratulations.

Beau: Uh, no. We failed to retrieve the Spear of the Keeper. It, uh, well...

Hannah: I insisted we bring the sword back to you anyway. Is there anything else we can do to pay for it to be destroyed?

Unmaker: No need. The spear was irrelevant.

Beau: Wait, wait, what? (He and Hannah enter the house.)

Hannah: Are you saying we went on the quest for nothing?

Unmaker: Far from nothing. You had to go on the journey to find the power needed to Unmake the sword. It was your devotion to the Dream World's safety, your rejection of the sword's temptation, and your honest in facing your true feelings for one another.

Maker: You passed!

(Beau picks up the sword.)

Unmaker: Let's Unmaker that sword. (Beau hands her the sword.) Thank you. (She places the sword on the counter, picks up the hanging pocket watch, and uses a hammer to Unmake the sword at high speed. When she finishes, she hangs the watch back up.) Well, that only took ten years. What did I miss? (She and her sister walk away.)

Beau: We had it, the answer to protecting the entire Dream World together.

Hannah: But it was the wrong way. We'll figure it out... together.

(Hanna leaves and Beau follows her, but stops when he notices the Gnorfs' pocket watch hanging there.)

---

(The Space Bus flies through the skies of the Dream World.)

Hannah: (To Beau.) You okay?

Beau: Yeah, yeah. Just thinking.

(Hannah pulls a coin from behind Beau's ear.)

Hannah: Penny for your thoughts?

Beau: I was just thinking about our team. I think we have a bright future ahead of us. Many more adventures on the horizon.

(While Beau is speaking, the Gnorfs return home, discover their watch has been stolen, and become furious.)

Hannah: (She sits.) Well, the next adventure is gonna have to wait. It's almost morning.

Beau: Mm. Ah, that's okay. We have plenty of time.

(It is shown that Beau was the one who stole the pocket watch from the Gnorfs, then he closes the lid and gives a sinister smile.)
