to get hurt again.

What are we waiting for?

(Laughs)

Let's go!

Let's jam!

Want to go home!

Yeah, yeah. I miss Fantasia too.

BOTH:
So do we!

Alright! Alright already!

We'll go back to the toy department.

Hold your boulders, will ya...

Whoa!

(Slip reads) "Bark Troll's branch

pushes the dumpster aside

"and then they step inside

the Nasties' hide-out.

"And Bark Troll exclaimed..."

BOTH:
"Oh, no! It's an ambush!"

Hands off.

Hey, don't touch the bark.

I'm 300 years old.

Show some respect.

Kissy kiss?

(Roars ferociously)

(Whimpers) Barky!

EMPRESS:
Come on!

Vile crustacean!

My Empress,

don't give in to the Nasty!

Empress! Help me!

(SHOUTING AND CONFUSION)

This is where we lost them.

They're not here now.

(Engywook shouts) If I were

six feet taller I'd pulverise you!

You hear that?

I did.

Go!

(Keeps yelling) Come down to my size

and I'll have you, my lad!

(Barky roars)

Balthazar! (Laughs)

What took you so long?

You know, I've been reading

all about your mommy and your daddy.

Things are getting a little nasty

over at the Bucks residence.

You made it that way!

No. You did!

And you too.

Don't go blaming it on me.

I didn't put those words

into your parents' mouths.

They said it themselves.

Don't you care about anything?!

You have to live in the human world

after all this too.

If you destroy everything

it'll be bad for you!

And you and everybody!!

He's right, chief!

Give him the necklace back.

I don't want anything bad

happening to my mother.

Wanna know something? Something bad

already happened to your mother.

What?

You!

Oh!

I've got the Oran!

I've got the Oran!

You've lost the Oran!

(Whoops) Ooh, yeah!

(Nasties laugh)

SLIP:
What are you doing?

I wish...

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

(WONDROUS MUSIC PLAYS)

Nicole, the book!

Big man, Balthazar...

(Nasties sigh)

...when you got the necklace.

Put it down.

Put it down!

Then we'll see

what a big man you are.

In front of your sister!

Don't do it!

You've got the Oran!

You can turn him into a duck.

(Laughs)

I frightened, Bastian.

(Blubbers)

(lmitates Junior)

(Reads) "Bastian placed

the necklace down...

"...then put into practice all

those years of... karate lessons."

ALL:
Karate lessons?!

(Laughs)

"'Ha-ha! Karate lessons! ' yelled

Slip, bursting with laughter."

What are you doing?

I only took two lessons!

"Bastian starts circling,

waiting for his moment to attack."

(Junior whimpers) Go home, Bastian!

(Nasties laugh and jeer)

(Grunts) Ooh-hoo-hoo!

I'm sorry! That's what it says.

To heck with what the book says.

BARKY:
Careful, Bastian.

Take it easy.

"All at once,

"it was if Bastian was transformed

into a deadly combination

"of Bruce Lee, Steven Seagal

and Jean-Claude Van Damme."

Don't worry, chief.

It's just a bluff.

"Bastian blocks Slip's attack

and counters with a karate chop

"and then... kicks him away."

I'll kill him! Come on!

Go on! Go on!

Give him a left!

"Bastian turns from Slip

"and performs a miraculous

flying kick to Dog."

ENG YWOOK:
Yes! Come on, lad!

Careful, Bastian.

(Junior babbles happily)

(Nasties scream)

I'm back!

Falkor!

"They see Falkor and...

run for their lives!"

(Screams)

Get off! Get off!

(Nasties scream)

We go home now.

Hooray! Ha-hah!

Get the...

Ah... perhaps not.

(Laughs)

Oh, my God!

What?

Oh, no! What now, huh?

(Reads) "Meanwhile,

back at Jane's house,

"Barney and Jane's short honeymoon

had turned into a living nightmare.

"After only one week of marriage,

Barney decided to call it quits."

Let me see that.

(Reads) "And over in the Rockchewers'

dwelling, things were just as bad."

(Gasps) Dadda?

From now on, woman...

...l'm going to be a rolling stone!

Fine with me! Hmmph! Fool.

Oh, no! They've taken my story

to the future!

All this stuff's already happened.

Don't come back!

Don't worry, I won't!

(Voice echoes) No, Dadda!

No leave Mama!

Hmm... no. Must be dreaming.

(Voice echoes) No, Daddy! Don't go!

Nicole?

Nicole, Falkor's here now.

We have to wish the Fantasians back

before we get rid of the Nasties.

Ah... l'm gonna miss you, kid.

Bye-bye, Barky. I'll miss you.

You too, Falkor.

'Bye, Bastian.

Ooooh!

Yes, you too, Junior.

(Kisses him loudly)

'Bye, Bastian.

I go home now.

Alright, everybody,

get in wish position.

ENG YWOOK:
Good luck, lad.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Dadda!

We wish that Fantasia

would go back to how it was

before this Nasty business started.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CLIMAXES)

(GENTLE MELOD Y PLAYS)

Oooooh!

It worked!

(WONDROUS MUSIC SOARS)

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS)

(Jane sobs) Barney!

(TRAGIC MUSIC PLAYS)

Barney!

No! Please, don't go, Dad!

Don't go!

Nicole!

I'm home!

Are you OK?

Hi, Mom!

Bastian! (Laughs)

(Laughs)

I was worried sick about you,

you crazy kid!

Are you sure you're OK?

You'll never believe

what happened, Dad!

Oh, I think I might believe

what happened.

Welcome home, Nicole!

(All laugh and talk excitedly)

Dr Dumont said it would work out!

(WONDROUS MUSIC PLAYS)

I hope you learned something, kid.

Be careful what you wish - you might

wind up trapped in a shopping mall!

Me - I wish small.

I got new leaves.

I got a new lease of life!

Bye-bye, Barky!

(Kisses him loudly)

Oh, ah... look! There's your daddy!

Go kiss him.

(Shouts joyfully) Mama! Dadda!

I'm home!

My baby!

Junior!

Oh!

He's home!

If I can just get the root rot

to clear up, everything will be fine.

(BRIGHT, SPRITELY MUSIC)

(Both sigh with relief)

(STUDENTS CHATTER)

Hi.

(All talk excitedly)

Bastian and Nicole! Hi!

Nicole, you know

my girlfriend Marcia.

I do?

Sure you do.

You kids better run along.

We mustn't be late for our classes.

Heavens, no.

Gosh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

'Bye.

'Bye.

See you later.

'Bye.

Well, sis, how'd you like the ending?

You did that?

(Laughs) Yeah!

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS)

The story's not over yet, young man.

Run along.

(WONDROUS MUSIC PLAYS)

BOTH:
Yeah!

(Falkor sighs)

Now this is my favourite

part of the story!

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS)

SONG:
I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder

Racing with the wind

And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never want to die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild!

(MUSIC FADES)

(GENTLE MUSIC BEGINS)

(Woman sings)

I'm on a mission of love

I'm on a mission of love

Saving the dreams

of the new generation

I'm on a mission of love

I've got a vision of love

in my mind

Left the world of confusion behind

I heard the Empress

appeal to my heart

Save Fantasia from falling apart

I'm on a mission

I'm on a mission

I'm on a mission of love

I'm on a mission

I'm on a mission

On a mission of love

I'm on a mission of love

I'm on a mission of love

Saving the dreams

of the new generation

I'm on a mission of love

I'm on a mission of love!
