Cadmus is making some kind of war machines.
War machines? Why is he building war machines?
I don't know, but Violet and I saw a warehouse full of 'em.
Joke's on him. They're on the ground. We're in the air. No problemo.
You didn't say they could fly.
I didn't know they could fly, but we're okay, right?
Because Vanpa said that you're his best pilot.
Did he mention that I'm the only pilot?
Which technically does mean I am the best pilot.
-[upbeat music plays] -What is this?
It's music. Helps me concentrate. Here we go.
[Eight] What are you doing? Stay away from those things.
-We need 'em for cover. -No, they're dangerous.
At least they're not shooting at us.
-Nice move! -Yeah, it's what I'm known for.
-Watch out! -Whoa!
Oh, come on.
One thruster down.
Uh… [stammers] …now what?
Now? Now, let's dance.
Come on, you flying fish. There we go.
Hang on!
-Hailey? -What are you doing?
Trust me. This'll work.
[Eva] Yes! Great flying.
[Hailey] Uh-huh. That is why I'm a legend.
What did I tell you? I am the best.
-Whale! Watch out! -Whoa!
What was that?
[Eva, Eight shrieking]
Second thruster down. Losing lift. I'm losing altitude fast.
Emergency procedures checklist. [groans] Jammed!
-What can I do? -Change to readout.
ABCDE. Airspeed. Best glide.
Uh, best glide. Uh, what does it say?
Uh, pitch and trim for best glide. Halfway between VX and VY.
Okay, okay. Altitude 500. Manual reversion.
Press that.
Here we go.
Good news, we're in a glide. Bad news, we're still going down.
Everyone, brace!
We cannot land out here.
We are not landing.
We'll be fine. Hold on, Rovee.
Brace for impact.
[groans] Oh, yeah, that hurt.
[groaning]
Oh, that was fun.
-[Rovender coughing] -Rovee, you okay?
[Eight groans]
-Is everyone all right? -Oh, yeah. Wonderful.
[Otto groans]
Otto?
[Otto] Oh, Otto's upside down.
Hailey, where are we?
Uh, I'd say we're right at the crossroads of wasteland and wasteland.
[sighs] This is not good.
Oh, no, no, no. [stammers, sighs]
Vanpa's gonna kill me.
Vanpa.
Hey, you think he's gonna be okay?
He's a four. Fours do more, right? I am sure he's gonna be fine.
We, on the other hand, are in big trouble.
Well, that's an understatement.
We need to get moving before another war bot shows up.
Can you fix the ship?
Fix it? Sure. Yeah. It's just gonna take a while/forever.
Then we'll have to go on foot.
On foot? Now?
No, no. We can't be out in the open. We need to stay here until nightfall.
Nightfall? We need to get Rovee to Faunas as soon as possible.
Plus, we're sitting ducks out here for Cadmus's war bots.
You don't understand. This is the wastelands, okay?
There's a creature, a flying thing.
It hunts from the sky, and if it spots us--
Hey, guys. Um, what's that?
A wandering tree. [gasps] That's it.
It-It's moving. We could use it for cover.
It-It's too far away.
We'll run. We can make it.
That tree is the best chance we have.
Eva, no.
[mechanism whirring]
That does not sound good.
Eight, we can't stay here. Trust me. We can make it together.
[sighs] Fine. We go together.
Oh. Uh, hey, that's a part of my ship.
Let's do this.
Okay. We're all good? We stick together.
Let's go.
Oh, uh…
Hey. Hey, wait up.
Rovee.
Otto, be careful.
We gotta keep moving!
Stop.
Hold on.
[bot dings]
Let's go. We're gonna make a run for the tree.
This way.
We're almost there!
[whirring]
[pants, grunts] I gotta start working out.
[panting] I think-- I think I left a lung back there.
[sighs] We all made it.
-We're safe. -For now.
There's no safe place in the wastelands.
All we have to do is move with the tree.
Stay under its cover.
[tree groans]
Um, question.
How can we move with the tree if it's not moving?
What's it doing? Why did it stop?
I don't know. Let me try and talk to it.
Talk to it?
I think she hit her head in the crash.
[Eva] Must get to Faunas. Please keep moving.
My friend, he's sick.
[groans] Not hearing anything.
Maybe you need to work on your tree accent?
Ouch.
[shouting]
Eva, watch out.
-Eight, no! -[groaning, grunting]
-[Eight] Eva, go! It's an ambush. -[shouts]
[Eight panting]
Eight. Eight, don't hurt any of them.
Let me talk to them.
Talk with them? Are you friends with them too?
Everyone, calm down. We're just on our way to Faunas.
Hooman, what did you do to the Caerulean? Answer me.
The Caerulean is my friend.
-He's very sick. -[alien 1] Hmm.
-Did you poison him? -No, no, no.
We know the story of hooman. You destroy everything.
[alien 2] They are not to be trusted, Boodoo Obeedo.
What are they saying? Should we fight?
-They attack us, have to defend ourselves. -[Eva] Beedo. Mirthian with three legs.
Wait. You're-- You're Boodoo Obeedo.
How does she know you?
I met your great-nephew. He's the bartender in Lacus.
He taught me the secret to winning at the spiderfish races.
[both] "Always pick the winner." [laughs]
Learning that lesson cost me a leg.
My nephew must have trusted you to share.
Wait, what's going on?
-We're okay. I know his great-nephew. -What?
They're not gonna hurt us.
If they're not going to hurt us, why do they have weapons?
[Hailey] Yeah, good question.
Oh.
[squelching]
[Mirthians slurping]
[Hailey] Um, what is going on? What are those?
It's a straw. They're using the tree to find water.
Here. Water for your friend.
Thank you.
It's okay. They're friendly.
My friend is sick, and we're trying to get him to his home.
Can you tell us how to get to Faunas?
Faunas? It is only one-day journey,
but to get there, you must travel through the black winds.
But it is also the hunting ground of Dawosu.
Stay away from the bones.
Tell me the plan isn't to go in there.
I'm not liking this plan.
-[Eva] We'll make it. -[Hailey] Uh, yeah. [chuckles]
[Otto groaning]
[Eva] It's okay.
[roar in distance]
[Eight] What was that?
-What? -That sound!
It's just the wind.
Then it's the hungriest-sounding wind I've ever heard.
What did your friends call this thing that's gonna eat us?
The Dawosu. And it's not going to eat us.
We have to stay in the black winds, and we'll be fine.
[Hailey] That is really not comforting.
[chitter, roar in distance]
That is not the wind.
-[Eight] That's it. It's here. -[Eva] Eight?
Eight! [pants]
[Eight] It's here.
-[Eva] Where is it? -[Eight] That sound.
[Eva] We have to keep moving.
I can't kill what I can't see!
You don't have to kill anything. Whatever it is, I can reason with it.
You can't reason with this.
There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm with you. We'll make it.
Now, come on.
[Eva] Otto!
Hailey!
Otto!
[Eva] Otto, where are you?
[Otto] Eva, this way.
[Eva] They're close. Come on.
[Hailey] Eva! Eva! Eight! Over here!
[Eva] Hailey!
We found a place to wait out the storm. This way. Come on. Follow me.
[Eva] Wait out the storm? No, no, we need it for cover.
[Eight] What is this place?
[Hailey] I'm not sure, but it's pretty cool, huh?
[Eva] Oh, no. They said stay away from the bones.
[Hailey] What? Now you tell us?
[screeches]
-[Hailey] Whoa! -There it is. It's out here. Go!
[Hailey] You don't have to tell me twice.
[Dawosu chitters, roars]
[Eight] We gotta hide! We gotta find somewhere to hide!
[Hailey screaming]
[Eight] Eva! That cave. Go!
[Dawosu roars]
[Otto grumbles]
-Hey, hey, calm down. -[Otto whimpers]
Otto, calm down.
[coughing, groans]
Rovee. Rovee, are you okay?
Hold on. Where's Hailey?
We have to go back for him.
No, you can't go out there.
-It's Hailey. -I said no.
You are not going out there.
[screaming] Oh, man.
[panting] It almost got me.
It knows we're here. We're trapped.
[coughing, groaning]
We can't stay here. I have to get Rovee to Faunas.
He's dying.
Yeah, and we're all going to die if we leave this cave.
[Otto] Eva, what do we do? Should we go or stay?
I'm going out there. I'm going to talk to it.
No, you don't understand.
Yes, I do. I can communicate with it.
No. No, you can't. Not with this.
Okay? There's a monster out there that's going to kill us.
You can't talk your way out of this.
She's right. We should all stay here.
Eva.
[coughs] Must s-stay. Not safe for you.
D-Dawosu.
[Rovender groaning, breathes heavily]
[panting, groaning]
[Dawosu chitters, screeches]
When we left Sanctuary, I lost half my family in the first week.
After that, Roshon went off on his own.
So it was just the two of us, Freya and me.
We survived for weeks.
Every morning Freya would announce,
"Today's the day we find a human settlement."
I would laugh and tease her about it,
but… [breathes deeply] …a part of me believed that we would
until we got to the wastelands.
It came down from the clouds.
I didn't see it in time.
Freya, she was there, then she was gone.
[sighs] I lost one sister to it.
I can't lose another.
[coughing, breathes sharply]
Eva.
[coughing, breathing heavily]
There is a Caerulean saying.
"When my life path reaches its destination,
may I walk on in the memories of those who remain."
Rovee. What are you saying?
[inhales deeply, groans]
When it is safe, you must go.
Rovee, no. I'm not leaving you.
Gonna get you home.
Forget Faunas.
This is my destination.
[Eva] No, it's not. I will find a way.
[gasps]
Rovee?
Rovee.
[Rovender groaning, breathing heavily]
-Rovee. -[panting]
-What are you doing? -Oh, no, no, no.
Eva, go back.
[groans] The Dawosu,
let it take me so the rest of you can move on.
No, no. Come back to the cave.
[Dawosu roars]
-Come on! -Eva, you must go.
-Leave me here. -No. I'm getting you home.
Leave. This is my life path, not yours. [groaning]
Please, Rovee. Don't do this. Please.
[Eva] Do not hurt us. We come as friends.
[Dawosu] Friends.
[Eva] Yes, friends.
We mean you no harm.
[Dawosu] No harm.
[coos]
[Dawosu] No harm child.
[Eva] Child?
Your children. This place.
[Eva] This is your nest.
You're just looking out for your family.
[Dawosu] Yes. My family.
[Eva] So am I. My friend is sick.
We need to get him home.
Please, let us pass.
[Dawosu] Home. [coos]
[Eva] Thank you, friend.
[snarls]
[rattling]
[screeches]
[Eight grunts]
[shouts]
[Dawosu screeches]
[exclaims]
[snarling, screeching]
[grunts]
[Eva] I-- I wanted to explain.
I thought-- [gasps]
Exactly what it wanted you to think.
B-But it was only protecting its young. [whimpers]
No, it was going to feed you to its young.
Just like it did with Freya.
Eva, there are some things that cannot be reasoned with.
[coughing, wheezing]
[Otto] Eva. Up ahead.
Rovee, look, the Green Spot.
[coughing]
Faunas.
