[First lines. An eagle is flying over the remains of the Well of Souls.]

Ignitus: [Narrating] Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. But sometimes fear clouds our vision. Sometimes our strength gives out. And yet sometimes, when all seems lost, a light shines through the darkness, and we are reminded that even the smallest amount of courage can turn the tides of war.

Grublin: We're here.

[The Grublins approach the Time Crystal that Hare, Share, Funshine, Good Luck, Grumpy, and Cheer Bear are frozen in.]

Hero Orc: Break it.

[One of the Grublins hits the crystal with his club, causing it to start glowing.]

Share Bear: Hare, stop!

Hare: I... I can't. Get close to me, now!

[The crystal breaks apart, leaving the frozen Hare and the Care Bears lying unconscious on the floor.]

Hero Orc: Shackle them!

[The Grublins open a box containing two green snakes, which they place around Hare and Share Bear's necks. The Grublins then take them away, leaving the Care Bears to awaken and be found by Hans Castorp.]

[Meanwhile, in the Catacombs.]

Share Bear: Hare, Hare, open your eyes. Get up!

Hare: Share, what happened? Where are we?

Share Bear: I don't know. It's all a blur.

Hare: Yeah, me too. My head's pounding.

Share Bear: Shhh. Wait! That's not your head. I hear it too.

Hare: What is that? Guys, is that you?

[The torches light up, revealing several Grublins surrounding them.]

Share Bear: For once, I wish it was. What are they doing?

Hare: Let's not stick around to find out. Come on!

[Hare and Share Bear try to leave, but the Snake Chain stops them from escaping.]

Share Bear: Argh! What's your problem?!

Hare and Share Bear: [in sync] Oh. This can't be good.

Hero Orc: They're awake. Don't let them escape!

[Hare and Share Bear start fighting. Hare uses his sword and Share Bear uses her Care Bear Stare against the Grublins. Suddenly, the Earth Golem appears, made of earth and lava, a huge monster from The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. It stomps toward them.]

Hare: This chain is slowing us down! We can't fight it! We'll have to move in unison. Follow my lead!

Share Bear: [angrily] Why should you lead?

Hare: Uh, oh... Take cover!

[They avoid being crushed by the Earth Golem's hand.]

Share Bear: Okay... good idea... you lead.

[Castorp appears and shoots an arrow into the Earth Golem's eye, causing it to retreat. The Care Bears and Hare are reunited.]

Funshine Bear: Hey, Hare, man, you're alive!

Hare: Guys! It's good to see you too! You okay?

Grumpy Bear: Huh, you know, little stiff, voice keeps changing, but I'm good.

Share Bear: Hey, this reunion is touching and everything, but shouldn't we be going? Unless you want to wait for that thing to climb back up. I'd hate to think what it might do to you guys.

Hare: [Looking at Castorp] Who is he?

Grumpy Bear: [smirking] Oh, that's the German guy, Castorp. He's the one saving our tails.

[Hare looks at Share Bear, who is standing by his side, visibly relieved.]

Hare: [softly, with genuine emotion] Never leave me again, okay?

[Hare wraps his arms around Share Bear in a quick, yet heartfelt hug, before pulling back to focus on their next steps.]

Share Bear: [smiling] I'll always be by your side, Hare.

[INT. CATACOMBS – DUSTY, CRACKED STONE PASSAGE]

[The collapsed entrance rumbles behind them. Dust rains down as Hare, Share Bear, and the other Care Bears follow Castorp down a winding corridor lit by a flickering torch in his hand.]

Castorp: You two—[looking to Hare and Share Bear]—how do you feel? Anything broken?

Hare: Shaken a little… but not too badly. [glances at the others, then back to Castorp] Thanks to you.

Castorp: [Sighs with relief, his voice deep and tinged with a thick German accent] Ja… gut. I am relieved. I feared I might have been too late. My name is Hans Castorp.

Hare: [Brows narrowing] Castorp... You’ve been tracking me.

Castorp: For far too long, my friend. When you did not return to the temple, the purple dragon—Spyro—he sent me to find you. That… was nearly three years ago.

Hare: [Stumbles to a stop] Three years? No... that’s impossible!

Castorp: [Gravely] I know, ja, it is a difficult truth. But time has not passed here as it does above. Forgive me, we have little time for explanations. This place is no longer safe.

[Suddenly, a loud crack echoes. The tunnel behind them collapses entirely.]

Castorp: Schnell! Follow me!

[They hurry on. Share Bear sticks close to Hare, while the others watch Castorp with new interest.]

Funshine Bear: [Jogging beside him] So, uh… Mr. Castorp? Where exactly do you live?

Castorp: [Quietly, almost wistful] A long way east of here… a mountain village outside Berlin. Before… well… before the fall.

Funshine Bear: [Innocently] The fall of what?

[Castorp halts for a moment, his eyes distant.]

Castorp: [Softly] Berlin. It fell to ash… long before any of you were born. What remains is rubble… and ghosts.

[Before the silence can thicken, a blur of green fur rushes from a side tunnel.]

Oopsy Bear: Caaastooorp!!

[He barrels into Castorp, hugging him tightly.]

Oopsy Bear: I knew you weren’t gone! I told Wingnut you’d be okay!

Castorp: [Stiffening, then smiling warmly] Oopsy… Mein kleiner Freund. You survived.

[The Care Bears crowd around, relieved.]

Cheer Bear: Oopsy! We were so worried!

Grumpy Bear: Thought you might’ve tripped and rolled into another dimension again.

Oopsy Bear: [Sheepish] Well… I mean, not this time! Though there was that hole with the mushrooms and—never mind! I’m fine now!

[Oopsy turns proudly, revealing a hastily scribbled yellow shooting star drawn across his belly with a fading marker.]

Oopsy Bear: I lost my marker twice but drew it back on! I'm still trying to get it symmetrical…

Funshine Bear: Oopsy, you’re one of a kind.

Hare: [Nods] That’s what makes you special.

[The group continues through the tunnel, now with Oopsy among them. As they round the next bend, the tunnel opens into a chamber of polished stone, dimly lit by hanging lanterns. A single figure stands at the far end, arms crossed, coat neatly buttoned.]

Erik Ahlberg: Well, well! If it isn’t the fabled fugitives.

Share Bear: Who…?

Castorp: [Unenthused] Erik Ahlberg. Head of Patrol. Self-declared hero. Often insufferable.

Ahlberg: [Straightening proudly] And rightly so! You’ve stumbled into my sector, and I will have you know, order must be maintained. You are lucky I don’t sound the Great Bell!

Grumpy Bear: Oh great. Another loudmouth with something to prove.

Ahlberg: [Offended] Loudmouth? I’ll have you know I once captured a troll using only a teacup, a net, and my wit!

Hare: [To Castorp, dryly] Is he always like this?
