The Quest Page #3

Welcome to Ghan gheng.

Kishu Yama from Japan.

Phang Prahan of Siam.

I am Phang.

Maxie Devine of America.

That's me.

Maxie Devine,

heavyweight champion of the world.

This man is

a better fighter than me...

and as the former

heavyweight champion...

I turn my title over to him.

This here's your man,

Christopher Dubois.

Dubois will be granted

a chance to prove...

if he is a worthy combatant

in the first round.

If not, Maxie Devine

shall pay the penalty...

and never leave the Lost City.

That thing is

bigger than I thought.

Why did you come back?

I've been champion a long time...

and you beat me...

with your legs, with your speed.

Besides, when I got

the invitation to come here...

I decided I was gonna see the American

flag flyin' at the end of this thing.

I don't know what's

on your mind, Chris...

but I do know a champion

when I meet one...

and I'm here to see

that you fight like one.

Now you know why.

Here in the Lost City...

at the top of the world...

we greet our first heroes.

In this mystical arena...

there are no masks-

just truth.

I wish you well.

Soviet Union against Spain.

Damn.

Japan against Okinawa.

Come.

France against Brazil!

dd Oh-yay-oh-yay

Oh-yay-oh-yay dd

dd Oh-yay-oh-yay

Oh-yay-oh-yay dd

dd Oh-yay-oh-yay Oh-yay-oh-yay dddd

Ohh!

China against Korea!

He's moving like an animal.

More like a snake.

Harry, our little pension fund.

Yeah.

Hey, boss, how come there ain't nobody

watching this thing?

Well, 'cause they don't think

anybody can lift it.

- Chris, how are you feeling?

- The kid's a winner.

Of course he is,

for at least one round.

I mean, for your sake.

After all,

you don't want to become...

a permanent resident

of the Lost City, do you?

He should be in training.

- I know you'll win the first round.

- Yeah.

You're gonna win

the whole thing.

You're going to split

the prize with them?

We have a deal.

So do we.

Turkey against Scotland!

Hey!

Ohh! Aaah!

Ooh!

Siam against Africa!

dddd

Aaah!

Germany against United States!

Chris, I don't know about you...

but I plan on seeing

Times Square again.

Get 'im!

He's outclassed.

Hope you enjoy Christmas

in the Lost City.

New York City!

Aaah!

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

Mongolia against Greece!

This guy's no big deal.

Japan against Turkey!

Huh!

Hyah!

Ha-ha!

Hyah!

Now he's got a style

like a monkey.

Mongolia against Siam!

Aaah!

It's over.

Hit the gong!

No!

- Phang.

- Chris, sit down!

Chris?

We need a little chat.

Okay.

Tomorrow you are

throwing the fight.

- Throwing the-

- Takin' a dive.

- A plunge, kid.

- You see, it is the perfect setup.

That dragon is so

bloody enormous...

if we're going to lift it out of here,

we need you healthy.

Well, let's face it.

You have been lucky so far.

Why the long face?

I thought this was your quest,

your dream.

Well, soon it'll be a reality.

Harry, I think the kid

needs some rest.

Sleep well.

Spain against United States!

Up. Get up!

Get up!

Yeah! How 'bout that?

The kid can really take a beating.

It's time for plan "B."

What's plan "B"?

Semifinal.

Mongolia against Japan!

See, the winner's gonna wear himself

out, then he'll roll right over for you.

This is good.

Aaah! Ohh!

Lucky punch.

Yeah. Yeah.

Lucky punch.

Come on, Dobbsy!

Dobbs, come on!

Come on. Dobbs!

Come on!

Secure it!

Semifinal.

United States against China!

A tiger.

Hurry it up!

I can't hold this forever!

- Yeah! All right, Dobbs!

- Is it secure?

Yeah!

What about me?

Come on!

Let's get out of here!

Hey, Dobbs!

You bastard!

What about me?

I'll see you outside the gates.

Trust me, Harry.

Dobbs, we got company.

Run for it, Harry!

Dobbs!

What a mess.

Oh, yeah?

I'm sorry, kid,

we tried to run out on you.

I guess that's

the difference between us.

I've never, ever said I was

sorry before, and meant it.

And I never, ever

had a quest...

that wasn't for me,

number one.

I wasn't always

a pirate, you know.

Believe it or not,

for over 20 years...

I was a genuine captain...

in the Royal Navy.

I raised the Union Jack in countries

you never even heard of...

fought the Hun in the great war.

For what?

For glory of God, the British Empire

and His Majesty the King.

And when it was all over,

what was I left with?

Oh, well, you win some...

you lose some.

Now, you just watch

your tail, my old son.

These men have committed

a great sacrilege...

against this competition.

Let it be known that the price

for such betrayal...

is death!

No!

I will pay for their freedom.

I brought them here.

It's my fault.

If I win, they'll go free.

You'll keep the dragon.

This is for good.

So be it.

Final event!

Mongolia...

against United States!

Cover up!

Yeah!

Cover up!

Chris!

Get up! Chris! Get up!

Come on.

We're dead, Dobbs.

We're dead!

I won't say it again, Harry.

Shut up!

Chris!

Chris, give yourself

some room!

Chris!

Chris!

Boss, this don't sound good.

Don't sound good at all.

At least while they're shouting,

it means he's still alive.

Chris, you got him!

Now get in there and finish him!

- Go, go, go!

- Yeah! Yeah!

Come on!

Yeah!

Come on!

Aaah!

Yeah!

You've done it!

Chris!

Chris! Chris! Chris!

Chris, it's me, Maxie!

Chris!

It's all right, kid.

You did it.

Christopher Dubois, we honor you...

as the greatest warrior

of the Ghan gheng.

Hey, way to go, champ.

Thanks.

Christopher, now that you are

the undisputed champion...

- I've been thinking.

- About what?

A plan, a perfect plan.

Oh, I don't think he wants

to hear about it now, Harry.

I didn't get the golden dragon...

but I returned to New York,

like I promised.

I got the kids off the streets.

In the end, we all did just fine.

Maxie trained many great fighters

and became a big celebrity.

Last I heard, Dobbs and Harry

opened a trading post...

deep in the Amazon.

Bless their souls.
