Elena and the Secret of Avalor

Prologue
(The special opens on a panoramic view of Avalor as it soon cuts to a shot of Elena and Naomi making their way up a path towards a large waterfall. Elena is the first to get up there.)


 * Elena: Whoo! Well, Naomi, here we are. My favorite view of the city.
 * Naomi: You were right, Elena. It was worth the hike. Even if there was no path.
 * Elena: Well, there used to be one, but I haven't been up here in...41 years.
 * Naomi: Oh, right. You were stuck in that amulet.

(Elena sits down on the cliff edge as Naomi says that.)


 * Elena: Yes, that's kind of why I wanted to come up here. There's something I need to show you.

(Naomi sits down next to Elena as Elena reaches for a bag she was carrying over her shoulder, pulling out a small box that she places on her lap. Opening it, inside are the severed halves of what appears to be a wand of some sort made out of crystal.)


 * Naomi: What is that?
 * Elena: This wand belonged to Shuriki, the sorceress who invaded Avalor.
 * Naomi: The one who put you in that amulet?
 * Elena: Sort of. (sighs) It's time I told you the whole story. How I lost everything and everyone I loved, and how I finally found my way back home. The truth is, I would still be trapped in that amulet today if it wasn't for a brave young princess named...

(Close-up of Elena as her face takes on a more stern, confident look as she reveals the name.)


 * Elena: Sofia.

(Cut to black)

Shuriki's Takeover
(The scene reopens to show Elena's parents, King Raul and Queen Lucia, being rushed back to the Avalor Royal Palace in their carriage by two royal guards as a dark green mist is in hot pursuit of them. The sky taking on a dark appearance, full of storm clouds as they hurry down the footpath to the palace. As they get closer, Elena comes out, wearing the Amulet of Avalor, to see them return.)


 * Elena: Mama! Papa!

(Raul and Lucia barely have time to look up at Elena, before Elena gasps in horror as the mist takes the appearance of Shuriki, and she casts a spell on her parents, the guards, and the horses pulling the carriage.)


 * Shuriki: Vadissima!

(The carriage seems to vanish as Shuriki's spell strikes it full-force. Elena, horrified at seeing Shuriki cut down her parents, flees back into the Royal Palace, but Shuriki soon cuts her off and prepares to take out the only witness to her murder of the Avalor sovereigns.)


 * Shuriki: Vadissima!

(As the spell strikes Elena, the Amulet of Avalor glows brightly as it intervenes to save her life, before the scene whites-out, and returns showing us now in Royal Prep, as Sofia wakes up with a startled gasp. Her elder step-brother, Prince James, looks at her with concern.)


 * James: You okay, Sof?
 * Sofia:

(Before Sofia can say much else to her step-brother, Flora flies over the class.)


 * Flora:

(As the school bell rings, the Royal Kids emerge out the front door to head home for their break. Sofia's elder step-sister, Princess Amber, sees off her friend and classmate, Princess Hildegard, before rejoining her siblings.)


 * Amber:

(During this, Sofia notices the Amulet of Avalor glowing blue, indicating she is being summoned to the Secret Library again.)

(Back at the Enchancia Royal Castle, King Roland II and Queen Miranda are looking over a large floor map to decide where to take Sofia, Amber, and James on their summer vacation.)

Elena is Freed
(The Amulet goes to Sofia and she gets the Amulet and she look at it which it glows pink.)


 * Sofia: My Amulet. It changed color. (Then she puts it on and she goes up to Elena.) Princess Elena?

Shuriki Exposed
(At the palace, Armando is still looking for James and Amber, who are still managing to keep him busy this whole time.)


 * Armando: Where are those two? Come out, come out, wherever you are! Any of you? Please!

(As he continues his search, he doesn't see Elena and Skylar land outside. Elena dismounts from Skylar, but as she starts to walk forward, she stumbles again, still not used to being corporeal again after being freed from the Amulet of Avalor.)


 * Elena: Whoa!
 * Skylar: Oh!

(Skylar picks up Shuriki's wand, which Elena dropped when she tripped, and helps her back to her feet.)


 * Skylar: You want me to go with you?
 * Elena: Thanks, but I've got this.

(After dusting herself off, Elena runs into the palace as Skylar looks after her with a smile. In the throne room, King Roland II and Queen Miranda stand off to the side as Esteban presents Shuriki with the document to open up trade with Enchancia.)


 * Esteban: The trade agreement is ready for your signing, Your Grace.

(Shuriki takes an ink quill from the attendant on the other side of her and signs the parchment.)


 * Shuriki: Done. Now that that's taken care of...
 * Elena: SHURIKI!!

(The sound of that voice throws a scare into Shuriki and Esteban, while Roland and Miranda look over in surprise and shock as Elena, a look of righteous fury on her face, enters the throne room to confront her parents' murderer.)


 * Shuriki: (almost unable to say it) Princess Elena!?
 * Elena: The time has come to pay for your crimes!
 * Roland: (confused) Crimes? What crimes?
 * Elena: Shuriki invaded Avalor and overthrew the Royal Family! My family!
 * Miranda: Is this true?!
 * Shuriki: (chuckling) Well...Elena. Some inherit their kingdoms. Others have to take them by force.

(With that, she snaps her fingers, and her royal guards abruptly restrain Roland and Miranda, to their shock and anger.)


 * Roland: Hey!!
 * Elena: Then I'm here to take mine back!
 * Shuriki: But Avalor has been so much better without you. Why ruin a good thing?

(She reaches for her wand, but finds it is not where it should be, to her surprise.)


 * Elena: (holding up wand) Looking for this?
 * Shuriki: How did you get that?! (realizes) It was that little princess! The one with the necklace!
 * Miranda: Wait, Sofia's involved in this?!
 * Elena: Yes, she freed me from her Amulet, so that I could free Avalor from you!
 * Shuriki: Oh, I don't know about that. It takes more than a wand to make you a sorceress.
 * Elena: Your spell has echoed in my mind for 40 years, Shuriki. I know it by heart. Vadissima!

(Despite saying the magic word, Elena is unable to get the wand to cast the spell that took her parents' lives to take out Shuriki. Shuriki laughs bemusedly as Elena looks at the wand in shock and confusion, wondering why it won't strike down the sorceress who killed her parents.)


 * Shuriki: You'll have to do better than that.
 * Elena: Vadissima!

(This time the wand is able to cast the spell, but one of Shuriki's guards intervenes, throwing the shot off so it ricochets before hitting the tapestry of Shuriki that James had tried to peer under earlier, tearing it in half to expose a painting underneath that portrays an elderly couple and a young brunette girl in a blue dress. Elena is shocked upon laying eyes on it.)


 * Elena: What...what is this? I've never seen this painting before.
 * Shuriki: Oh, that's no ordinary painting, Elena. That's how Alacazar protected your little sister and grandparents: Inside an enchanted painting that even my magic cannot touch.
 * Elena: Abuelo...Abuela...Isabel...
 * Shuriki: And speaking of family, you haven't said hello to your cousin, Esteban.

(Esteban looks away with an embarrassed and nervous grumble.)


 * Elena: No...this cannot be Esteban.
 * Shuriki: You were stuck in that Amulet a long time. You may still be 16, but Esteban here grew up.

(Elena raises Shuriki's wand again, suspicious of what Shuriki just said.)


 * Elena: Wait...you're with her?!
 * Esteban: (stammers) I-I had no choice, Elena.
 * Shuriki: (laughs) Is that so, Esteban?

(Trying to contain her fury and rage, Elena prepares to blast Shuriki again with her own spell.)


 * Elena: Vadissima!

(But this time, Shuriki intercepts her and disarms her of the wand, knocking her over in the process.)


 * Shuriki: Seize her!

(Two of Shuriki's guards restrain Elena as Shuriki retrieves her wand. Meanwhile, Armando finally finds James and Amber as they tried to move to another hiding spot.)


 * Armando: (out of breath) Found you!
 * Amber: (acting surprised) Oh!

(However, Amber and James' expressions change to concern and confusion when they see the sight before them. One of Shuriki's guards then move over to restrain them as well. Armando is clearly confused as well by the sight.)


 * Armando: Uh, what's going on?
 * Shuriki: Nothing, Armando, I'm just setting things back in order.

(However, as Shuriki raises her wand to strike down Elena, she's startled as Skylar, sensing that Elena was in danger, swoops in to rescue her.)


 * Skylar: Hey, hey! Not so fast, Shuriki!

(Skylar swoops in at the guards restraining Elena, scaring them into having to release her to avoid being hit by him, giving him time to land next to Elena and pick her up.)


 * Skylar: Hop on, Elena!
 * Elena: No, wait! Don't leave, Skylar!
 * Shuriki: Vadissima!

(Shuriki fires her spell at Skylar and Elena, but misses as they escape to the outside and safety.)


 * Shuriki: Guards! Stop them!

(Shuriki's royal guards give pursuit as Shuriki, seething with rage, turns her attention to Esteban with her orders.)


 * Shuriki: (whispering) I want her captured by nightfall! Her and that little princess!
 * Roland: Leave Sofia out of this!
 * Shuriki: (scoffs) And lock them up while you're at it.

(Shuriki's guards take the Royal Family of Enchancia away to lock in the dungeon.)


 * Miranda: Get your hands off me!!
 * James: Let go!!
 * Roland: You'll regret this!!
 * Shuriki: (smugly) I doubt it.

(Outside, Skylar and Elena flee towards the sky before Elena complains.)


 * Elena: Wait! Wait! Skylar! We have to go back!
 * Skylar: Why!? So she can finish you off!?

(On the castle battlements, Shuriki's royal guard archer detail gathers to try and shoot them down.)


 * Skylar: You are brave, Princess, but your battle strategy? Not so good.

(Luna joins them with Sofia and Mateo.)


 * Sofia: Elena! What happened?
 * Elena: I tried my best, Sofia, but I couldn't get the spell right and...Shuriki has your family now.
 * Sofia: She has my family?!
 * Elena: I'm so sorry!

(Their attention is soon drawn to the castle battlements as they are spotted by the archer captain.)


 * Archer Captain: There she is! Archers, lock your arrows! Draw! PULL!!

(They open fire.)


 * Skylar: Whoa! They're shooting arrows! Evasive action! Dodge and weave!
 * Luna: (sarcastically) Yeah, we could do that! Or we could just get up outta here!
 * Mateo: We can go to my place!
 * Luna: Great! Hang on!

(With that, Luna and Skylar escape from the volley of arrows firing on them and put as much distance as they can between themselves and the palace. Sofia looks sadly back, worried about her mother, stepfather, and step-siblings.)


 * Sofia: I hope they're okay...

(Back at the palace, Sofia's family are locked into their cell. Once the guard leaves, they speak to each other.)


 * Miranda: This is not okay, Roland. Where is Sofia?!
 * Roland: I will get us out of here, Miranda, and we will find Sofia.

(The guard closes the door and hangs up the keys.)


 * Guard: The prisoners are secured, Chancellor Esteban.
 * Esteban: Those prisoners are Royalty, and you will treat them as such.
 * Guard: Yes, Chancellor.

(Esteban leaves the dungeon, but is visibly exasperated by what has transpired. Armando is waiting for him outside in the corridor.)


 * Esteban: Ay-yi-yi...yet another mess to clean up.
 * Armando: So Princess Elena lives!
 * Esteban: (sighs) Apparently so.
 * Armando: She is the rightful heir to the throne! We should be helping her!
 * Esteban: And what do you suggest we do, hmm? Fight the Queen? Because we will lose.
 * Armando: But Elena is your cousin, Esteban.
 * Esteban: (sighs) And her grandparents raised me like a son, and I think about what happened to them every day! So I do not need you to remind me, Armando!

(With some final heavy sighs, Esteban heads back up to the throne room, leaving Armando to think about what he said.)

The Support of the People
(Back at Alacazar's house, Skylar and Luna touch down, and Elena, Mateo, and Sofia dismount from them, deeply worried about the severity of the situation they are now facing.)

Rescue of the Royal Families
(Slipping past Shuriki's guards on the lookout for them in the harbor, Elena and Sofia ride Skylar to where Elena reveals a secret door leading back into the Avalor Royal Palace.)

(The Amulet proves to still work without Elena in it as Sofia is able to shrink to her smaller size to help free her family from the dungeon.)


 * Elena: Armando, I need you to distract the guard.

(The scene fades to show Armando as he knocks on the dungeon entrance again.)


 * Armando: Hello! Excuse me? Hello!
 * Bald-headed Guard: What is it now?
 * Armando: Uh, there's something very, very important I need to tell you. Over here!

(With Armando keeping the guard distracted, Sofia slips inside and reaches the spot where the keys to the cells are hung up.)


 * Sofia: I wish to be big again.

(The Amulet restores Sofia to normal size, allowing her to grab the keys and quietly make her way downstairs to the cells. Her family sit sadly in their cell before Sofia arrives to unlock it and let them out.)


 * Sofia: Hi.
 * Roland, Miranda, James, Amber: Sofia?!
 * Sofia: Shh, we have to hurry.
 * Miranda: (whispering angrily) You have a lot of explaining to do!
 * Sofia: Mom, I will, later, I promise, but right now, we have to find a way to get past that guard.

(Sofia finds the right key and unlocks the cell. As her family emerge from it, Roland grabs a nearby bucket to use against the guard.)


 * Roland: I'll take care of him.

(Back with the guard, Armando is keeping him busy with the same puppet show he showed Amber and James earlier.)


 * Armando: ...and when the farmer followed her into the jungle, she turned into a jaguar!
 * Bald-headed Guard: This is the important thing you wanted to tell me?

(He turns to return to his post, nearly catching the released Enchancia Royal Family, but Armando manages to keep him from noticing them a little longer for Roland to sneak up on him with the bucket.)


 * Armando: You haven't heard the ending yet.

(Distracted, the guard never sees Roland as he slams the bucket on the guard's head, causing him to panic as he tries to see who ambushed him.)


 * Roland: Grab him!

(Roland draws his sword as the guard ends up slamming into the wall as Armando moves aside, smashing the bucket to splinters, but knocking the guard out cold. He falls to the ground, and Armando quickly takes advantage to restrain him.)


 * Armando: Got him!
 * Roland: Well done.

(Roland locks the still-unconscious guard in the cell his family was in, before returning to where Elena has joined Armando and the rest of Roland's family.)


 * Sofia: Dad, this is Princess Elena.
 * Elena: (curtsies) I'm sorry for the danger I put your family in, but I've waited so many years for the one princess that could free me from the Amulet, and that was Sofia. I sensed it from the very first day she moved into your castle.
 * Roland: So when I was picking out Sofia's welcome gift, it was you who made the Amulet glow?
 * Elena: Yes! I needed someone young enough to get close to Shuriki without making her suspicious, but brave and clever enough to get me out.

(Roland and Miranda are left shocked upon hearing all this, while Sofia seems disappointed in thinking her family will be mad at her now that they heard the truth, but Elena assures Sofia that there's nothing to be concerned about as she continues.)


 * Elena: So you shouldn't be mad at her, you should be proud.
 * Miranda: Sofia, you still should've told us what was going on.
 * Sofia: I know, I just wanted to keep you all out of trouble.
 * Amber: (crossing her arms) Well, it's too late for that.
 * Roland: I believe a pardon may be in order, just this once.
 * Elena: I have a plan to get you all to safety, but we have to hurry.

(Elena, Armando, and the Enchancia Royal Family make their way out of the dungeon. Meanwhile, back in the throne room, Shuriki is growing impatient over no word on Elena or Sofia being captured yet.)


 * Shuriki: I'm losing my patience, Esteban. Where is Princess Elena!?
 * Esteban: Queen Shuriki, when I helped you invade Avalor, you promised me that no one in my family would be hurt!
 * Shuriki: I also promised you power and look at you now, Chancellor Esteban. Just be happy I kept one of my promises, or you'll wind up like your aunt and uncle.

(The guard Armando lured away earlier arrives and bows to Shuriki.)


 * Guard: You wanted to see me, Your Grace?
 * Shuriki: I don't want to see anyone until those princesses are found!

(Luna flies in to distract Shuriki and Esteban.)


 * Luna: Hey, hey there, Shuriki! Long time no see!
 * Shuriki: I put up with you buzzards outside, but not in my palace!
 * Luna: But it's so comfy in here! Ooh, here's a nice little perch.

(Luna perches on Shuriki's throne.)


 * Shuriki: Get off my throne! Vadissima!

(Shuriki fires her spell, but Luna dodges and flies away.)


 * Luna: Missed me!
 * Shuriki: Capture that beast!
 * Esteban: (to the guard) You heard the Queen! Move!
 * Guard: Uh, yes sir!

(Shuriki, Esteban, and the guard chase after Luna. With them gone, Mateo emerges from hiding and approaches the painting containing Isabel, Francisco, and Luisa.)


 * Mateo: Okay, let's see this spell...Whoa! Tala-que-la-le? Oh, boy. That's a tongue-twister.

(Mateo is about to start casting the spell before he hears Elena and the others approaching.)


 * Elena: Mateo!
 * Mateo: (sighs) Oh, it's you.

(Elena approaches the painting and looks at her little sister, smiling with that smudge still on her left cheek.)


 * Elena: Oh, Isabel...You have to get them out, Mateo! Now!
 * Mateo: (sighs) Okay. (begins casting the spell) Tala-que-la-le-apatad. Tala-que-la-le-apatased. Tala-que-la-le-viven!

(As Mateo finishes, the painting begins to glow brightly, and Elena's little sister and grandparents become magical dust. Amber, James, and Sofia react with various looks of surprise or concern, but after Mateo beats his spell-casting drum a couple more times, Isabel, Francisco, and Luisa emerge from the painting and reappear as flesh and blood once more. It takes a couple of seconds for Elena and Isabel to get their bearings before they gasp upon seeing each other again.)


 * Elena: Isabel!
 * Isabel: Elena!

(The two Avalor princesses and sisters share a happy embrace at being united again after 41 years of separation.)


 * Elena: I missed you so much! (wiping the smudge off Isabel's cheek) Let me just...
 * Isabel: You're safe!

(Elena then turns her attention to their grandparents.)


 * Elena: Abuelo! Abuela!

(The Enchancia Royal Family exchange heartwarming smiles at seeing Elena reunite with her sister and grandparents.)


 * Francisco: The palace looks so different...
 * Luisa: What happened to Shuriki?!
 * Elena: She's still here.
 * Luisa: I never should have let Alacazar put us in that painting!
 * Elena: Uh, can we talk about this later? We have to go.

(Skylar, Migs, and four other Jaquins are waiting on the balcony as Elena, her sister, grandparents, Armando, Mateo, and the Enchancia Royal Family hurry out to meet with them.)


 * Elena: Everyone hurry! Get on a Jaquin!
 * Skylar: Whoa, Princess! You should have given me a head count. Some of you may have to double up.
 * Elena: These Jaquins will take your family back to your ship, and we're taking the others.

(Everyone, save for Armando, begin to mount up on the Jaquins. Francisco and Luisa mount up on Migs.)


 * Francisco: Since when do people ride Jaquins?
 * Migs: Heh, don't get used to it.

(Before joining her husband, Luisa speaks with Elena.)


 * Luisa: I'm not running away from Shuriki again, Elena.
 * Elena: We're not running away, Abuela. You'll see.

(With that, the Jaquins take off. Skylar remains behind for Elena to mount before joining the rest while Armando remains on the balcony. As they get altitude, Sofia and Amber's Jaquin pulls alongside the one Roland and Miranda are on.)


 * Sofia: I'm going to stay and help Elena.
 * Amber: What?! If I knew that I would've gotten on another bird thingy!
 * Miranda: We should help too, Rolly.
 * Roland: I intend to, but the children should return to the ship where it's safe.
 * Sofia: We'll be okay, Dad. We won't be alone. Everyone's coming.
 * Roland: What do you mean, "everyone"?

(In Avalor City, the boy who's flute was confiscated by Shuriki earlier is playing a new one to rally the citizens into following him to the palace. The villagers who Elena met earlier encourage everyone to follow them.)


 * Elder villager: Come on! We're going to the castle!
 * Younger villager: Viva Avalor!
 * Villagers: VIVA AVALOR!!!
 * Several villagers: Revolución!
 * Another villager: It's time to take our freedom back!

(The various cries soon become a single, unified chant of "AVALOR! AVALOR!" as the villagers advance towards the Royal Castle. Meanwhile, at the castle, Luna is still distracting Shuriki and Esteban, having lured them to the entrance foyer.)


 * Luna: Hey, Shuriki! I'm getting a little lonely up here!
 * Shuriki: You again!? Vadissima!
 * Luna: Aah! Too slow!
 * Shuriki: Vadissima!
 * Luna: (laughs) Missed me again! You're going to have to aim better that that if you're gonna zap me!
 * Shuriki: Oh, I will, you pest! Vadissima!

(Shuriki's third shot misses Luna again, and shatters the large, stained glass, rose window instead.)


 * Luna: Oh! Uh-huh, nice shot, Shuriki. Well, it's been a blast distracting you, but I'm outta here. (She flies out the shattered window)
 * Shuriki: Dis-distracting me!? What is she talking about, Esteban?

(The sound of singing soon gets the attention of Shuriki and Esteban, making them uneasy.)


 * Shuriki: What? What is that sound?

(The doors open as three of Shuriki's royal guards, looking totally spooked, enter.)


 * Worried guard: They're coming, Your Majesty!
 * Shuriki: Who's coming?!
 * Worried guard: All of Avalor!

(Pointing to the doors, the singing can be heard louder now. As Shuriki and Esteban descend, they become even more worried by what they hear.)


 * Shuriki: Is that...singing?!

End of Shuriki's Reign
(The camera pans out across the castle's front yard and down the path before tipping overhead as Elena and Skylar fly in as the crowd can now be heard singing a variation of what Elena sang earlier.)


 * Villagers:
 * This is our time, our time to face our old foe
 * Our time, reclaim what was ours long ago
 * Our time, to stand up with honor and pride
 * Our time, we've come too far, to be denied!

(Elena joins in)


 * Elena, Villagers:
 * And so we will march, to the palace once more
 * To win back the freedom of all Avalor
 * We've spent our whole lives waiting just for this day
 * And nothing (No nothing) will stand in our way

(Mateo, Isabel, Francisco, Luisa, and Sofia and her family join in.)


 * Everyone:
 * This is our time, together as one we won't fail
 * Our time, this time we know we'll prevail
 * Our time, to honor our family and friends
 * Our time, this is our time (This is our time! This is our time! Time!)
 * Once again!

(As the song finishes, Shuriki stares in outright shock and fury as Esteban looks at her and back at the approaching crowd with fear and concern as outside, two of Shuriki's guards hold their ground at the front gates, shut tight, and await the crowd as they get closer, led by Elena and the others riding on the Jaquins. Despite the sheer number of people that they have to hold back, the guards try to hold their ground.)


 * Gate guard: Halt!
 * Second gate guard: Stop right there!

(On his Jaquin, Roland reaches for his sword.)


 * Roland: I'll take care of them. (drawing sword) Brace yourself, Miranda!
 * Miranda: Whoa!

(Roland and Miranda's Jaquin dives towards the guards as Roland points his sword out in front of him at the guards. Intimidated by Roland's charge, the guards lose their nerve, drop their weapons, and run for their lives. Elena and Skylar fly up afterwards to see the gates are closed, meaning no way into the castle.)


 * Elena: They locked the gate! We'll have to break it down! (Sofia and Amber fly up next to her)
 * Sofia: Or we can fly around to the other side and open it.
 * Elena: That'll work too.

(The Jaquins make their way up and over the archway the gates are built into and enter the front castle yard. After swooping over three more of Shuriki's guards waiting inside, startling them, Elena, Sofia, and Roland dismount from their Jaquins, leaving Miranda and Amber to be flown back to safety. Roland holds his ground to deal with the guards, while Elena and Sofia head for the gates. Pushing open the inner gates, they then reach the large crank that controls the outer gates and work it to open them and let the citizens in, still chanting "AVALOR! AVALOR!" Shuriki's guards draw their swords, ready to deal with the crowd, but quickly are left in shock as Roland appears and points his sword at them as if to say "You'll have to go through me to get to them!" before charging towards them as Elena remains behind to lead the crowd in.)


 * Elena: (To the villagers) Stay together! Stay strong!

(Miranda, Mateo, Francisco, and Luisa soon join in with leading the mob alongside Elena, Roland, and Sofia towards the front steps and force Shuriki's guards backwards as they try to hold their ground.)


 * Guard: Stand firm, men! Stop in the name of the Queen!

(The doors soon open as Shuriki, Esteban, and Armando emerge to see what is happening, and Shuriki is livid to see her men being forced backwards and not holding firm.)


 * Shuriki: STOP THEM!!
 * Guard: There's just too many!
 * Second guard: Retreat!
 * Third guard: Run!

(The guards lose their nerve, ditch their weapons, and flee like cowards. Armando decides to make his move as well and side with Elena.)


 * Armando: I think I'm just gonna go over here now.
 * Shuriki: Cowards...Enough! Abstuela!

(Shuriki fires a spell at the sky. Elena and everyone else look around in scared concern as the sky turns ominously dark with magically-summoned storm clouds. Just Shuriki's way of trying to once again assert her position as Queen and get the mob to disperse. Having made her point that as long as she has her magic she's unstoppable, Shuriki turns her attention back to the crowd.)


 * Shuriki: Leave my palace at once!

(However, Elena, her grandparents, Mateo, Armando, Sofia, and her parents hold their ground at the front of the crowd, their faces locked in stern refusal to obey Shuriki's orders and let Avalor suffer any more under her reign or threaten Avalor's neighbors like Enchancia.)


 * Elena: It's not your palace, Shuriki. It's ours! And you can't stop all of us!
 * Shuriki: I don't have to. I only need to stop you!

(As Shuriki raises her wand to ensure that this time, she cuts down Elena once and for all and ends this little rebellion against her, before she can, Esteban's hand suddenly reaches up and restrains Shuriki by the wrist, before disarming her of her wand, much to her disbelief and shock that he turned traitor at the last second.)


 * Shuriki: Esteban!?! What are you doing!?
 * Esteban: Elena! Catch!

(Esteban tosses Shuriki's wand to his cousin, who manages to catch it. Sofia, Francisco, Luisa, Mateo, Armando, Roland, and Miranda look at Elena with concern, wondering what she'll do with the wand, as Shuriki recovers with a smug smile on her face.)


 * Shuriki: Ha! You can't use the wand on me, girl!
 * Elena: Maybe so, but let's see how powerful you are without it!

(Shuriki becomes somewhat unnerved by that remark, before Elena uses every ounce of her strength to bend Shuriki's wand between her hands, until the strain is too much, and it breaks in half, to Shuriki's horror.)


 * Shuriki: NO!!

(Elena and everyone else watch in bewildered surprise and confusion as several wisps of magic emerge from the splintered halves of Shuriki's wand and dance about before encircling Shuriki, stripping her of her magic forever. Without her magic, Shuriki rapidly ages into her true appearance as a gray-haired, shriveled old lady, much to her devastation.)


 * Shuriki: NO!!!!

(With her magic gone and her wand destroyed, the effects of Shuriki's magic across Avalor is removed. The storm clouds dissipate, the sun shines even brighter, and flowers reappear on many of the plant growths across the buildings of Avalor City, as the citizens are heard cheering at the restoration of their kingdom. When it is all over, Avalor is restored to its pristine state that it had been in under the reign of Elena and Isabel's parents, and back at the Royal Palace, Elena approaches the defeated and withered Shuriki. Behind her, her grandparents, Mateo, Armando, Sofia, her parents, and the citizens all stand together as they glare daggers at the beaten sorceress who had caused them so much grief for over four decades before finally being overthrown.)


 * Elena: Shuriki, your reign is over!

(The crowd gasps as Shuriki rises to her feet and staggers towards the edge of the bridge, still groaning "No!" as she does. When she gets there, she looks down towards the water far below with a gasp before, whether intentional or unintentional, she loses her balance and tumbles over the side with a scream as she's lost to the waterfall below, the only sound heard being the splash as she hits the water. Elena and Sofia run over to look down for any sign of her, but there is no trace of her, leaving both somewhat unnerved that Shuriki might still be alive and return, but their attention is soon turned back to where they are as Francisco places a hand on Elena's shoulder.)


 * Francisco: She's gone, Elena. We've won.

(Hearing that, Elena lets out a sigh of relief before embracing her grandfather in a heartwarming hug.)


 * Elena: After all these years...
 * Esteban: All hail the rightful heir of Avalor, Princess Elena!

(The crowd cheers after hearing Esteban's decree, but Elena is shocked when she hears it herself.)


 * Elena: Wait, I'm in charge of the kingdom now?
 * Francisco: You are the eldest child. The crown goes to you.
 * Elena: It does?
 * Luisa: You will be a great ruler, Elena. And you'll have your grandfather and I to help you, so there's nothing to worry about. Now go, and address your people.
 * Elena: Right! Address my people. Okay...

(Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, and joined by Sofia, Elena begins making her way through the crowd of what are now her citizens as the new Crown Princess of Avalor as she takes over from where her parents left off before their untimely passing thanks to Shuriki.)


 * Elena: Hello. Hi. How are you? Hey there.

(It is then that King Roland II and Queen Miranda step forth so Elena can thank them for aiding her in reclaiming her kingdom from Shuriki and ensuring their kingdom of Enchancia was safe from Shuriki as well.)


 * Elena: (To Roland and Miranda) Oh, and thank you for everything.
 * Sofia: (removing the Amulet of Avalor from her neck) Elena, I guess this belongs to you.
 * Elena: Sofia, I want you to have it, for all you've done for Avalor. Besides, I think I've seen enough of that amulet for a lifetime.
 * Sofia: (hugging Elena) Thank you, Elena.

(After thanking Sofia and her parents for all their help, Elena makes her way through the crowd towards the castle steps, where her cousin awaits to lead her up to the top to overlook the crowd.)


 * Elena: Thank you, cousin. For a moment, I wasn't sure whose side you were on.
 * Esteban: I was always on our side, but I could not let Shuriki find a way to destroy that painting. Our family was in there. And so I pretended to follow her, to keep them safe. I hope you understand, Elena.

(Moments later, the Jaquins that Isabel, Amber, and James are riding on swoop down and land, allowing Isabel to dismount and run to her big sister, while Amber and James dismount to rejoin Sofia and their parents, as the crowd cheers upon seeing their second princess safe and sound alongside Elena. Amber and James hug their parents before turning to watch as Isabel rejoins Elena in a happy hug themselves.)


 * Isabel: Elena!
 * Elena: Isa!

(As everyone cheers, far below the palace, among an outcropping of rocks, a waterlogged and exhausted Shuriki manages to pull herself back above water with an exasperated gasp and groan. It is clear she won't be giving up on Avalor anytime soon, but for now, her threat is over.)

(Back at the palace, two royal guards, now sporting their normal Avalor colors from the black ones Shuriki's guards wore, step up before stepping aside to let the flute boy step forward with the Avalor royal flag folded in his hands. The three villagers who Elena met earlier stand further down the steps behind him. The flute boy hands the flag off to Armando, who then passes it on to Esteban. Moments later, Esteban raises the royal flag up the flagpole, allowing it to billow out and show Avalor now back in the control of the Royal Family with Elena as Crown Princess.)


 * Villagers: Avalor! Avalor! Avalor!

(As the villagers continue to chant, Migs, Luna, and Skylar fly in to circle the flag several times to show that the Guardians of Avalor are back as well to protect the kingdom from further threats, before touching down next to the flagpole, where Elena and Isabel are waiting for them.)


 * Skylar: Anytime you need a ride, Princess, I'm your Jaquin.
 * Elena: (to the crowd) Let every bell in Avalor ring. We are free!

(The crowd cheers loudly as said bells are heard chiming to symbolize Avalor's freedom.)


 * Elena: (to Isabel) How was that?
 * Isabel: (hugging her) Great!

(The Enchancia Royal Family stand at the foot of the steps and applaud as well, especially Sofia, proud that she was able to free Elena from the Amulet of Avalor and help her reclaim her kingdom from Shuriki. The scene fades to a long shot of Avalor City Harbor, still full of ships, before fading to another shot of the front steps of the Royal Castle, as Elena steps forth in her formal ballgown to present herself to the crowd as their new leader and Crown Princess to carry on where her mother and father left off 41 years ago.)


 * Sofia: (narrating) And all across the kingdom, the people of Avalor cheered, for their lost princess had finally come home.

(The camera pulls away from Elena to a long shot of the front of the Royal Palace before fading back to the Secret Library in Enchancia as Sofia reads the story. As Sofia continues reading, the camera changes to show she's reading it to not just herself, but Alacazar as well, to show that she succeeded in the mission Alacazar sent her on and restored Elena back to her place as Avalor's leader and sovereign. Sofia is also back in her regular gown as well, but still wears the Amulet of Avalor in its changed state after freeing Elena.)


 * Sofia: Thus began the reign of Princess Elena, and with it, a new age of joy and prosperity for all of Avalor.
 * Alacazar: Wonderful! I would call that a very happy ending.
 * Sofia: It is, but I don't think her story is over just yet.
 * Alacazar: Of course it isn't, but what happens next is a tale for another book.

(Alacazar then magically sends the book back to the spot on the shelves where it was retrieved from before speaking to Sofia again from in front of the portal he emerged from previously.)


 * Alacazar: Thank you for all you have done, Sofia. (returning to portal) And this is for the journey ahead.

(Sofia gasps as the gift Alacazar gives her causes her gown to ruffle slightly before being magically transformed into a new version of itself. As Sofia stands up to look it fully over, she smiles back at the portal in thanks for Alacazar's gift before turning to leave the Secret Library as the scene fades to black.)

Epilogue
(The scene fades back in to the present in Avalor, where Elena and Naomi are still sitting together on the cliff where Elena first showed Naomi the severed halves of Shuriki's wand, which Elena still holds as Naomi finally speaks in regards to everything she just heard.)


 * Elena: Which brings me to this: I need to figure out what to do with the pieces of her wand.
 * Naomi: Well, you could just, toss them off the cliff.
 * Elena: Uh, I was thinking of something a little more secure.
 * Naomi: I know! You could...uh, no, that's too obvious.

(As Naomi thinks it over, Elena puts the severed pieces back in the box she retrieved them from before putting the box back in her bag.)


 * Naomi: I know! We can hide them in the Treasury, and, not tell anyone where we put it.
 * Elena: Yes, it will be the best-guarded secret in Avalor. Thanks, Naomi.
 * Naomi: What are friends, and Grand Councilors, for?
 * Elena: (laughs) So, should we head back down?
 * Naomi: Are you sure you don't need more rest? You are 57 after all.
 * Elena: (chuckles) Well, as my Abuela says: "Time spent in magical jewelry doesn't count."
 * Naomi: Then we better go. The kingdom's not gonna rule itself.
 * Elena: Right.

(And with that, Elena and Naomi begin their trek back down to Avalor City as the scene of them departing the waterfall cliffside pulls slowly away before fading to black.)
