Chapter 6: Return to Ursalia
9796 BC - Dunwyn - New Land of Magic
While Zummi and Sunni were out foraging for Grammi, Zummi notices a bright light appearing across the sky. Realizing what it was, he rushes back to his study
"Only a Gummiscope could flash a beam like that" Zummi said "I think I've figured out the message it's sending, thanks to this old manual. It's a message from Sir Thornberry. He says 'the Bears have returned to Ursalia.' We must go and greet them" and they leave for Ursalia
Ursalia
"I wonder where everyone is" Sunni said
"And where's Sir Thornberry?" Cubbi asked
"He must be up there" Zummi said, pointing to the Gummiscope. As the Gummi Bears are walking, they step into a net and are caught
"We've caught the trespassers" a being said, stepping out of the shadows
"You're the trespassers" Gruffi said "Ursalia belongs to the Gummi Bears
"We are Gummi Bears" another voice said as the beings reveal themselves to be Gummi Bears "The Gummis from Barbic Woods"
"Well, we're Gummi too, just like you" Sunni said "sort of" noticing them dressed more primitively than the Gummis from Gummi Glen
"Why do you where such funny clothes?" a child Gummi asked
"What's wrong with our clothes?" Sunni asked
"Stay back Buddi, they don't look too friendly" another Gummi said
"Hey, what's all the hubbub here?" Thornberry asked as he walks in
"Sir Thornberry!" Cubbi exclaimed
"Where? Where?" Thornberry asked
"Uh… don't you remember us?" Cubbi asked
"These friends of yours?" a Gummi asked
"Friends… friends… friends… of course they're friends" Thornberry said
"Well then" a Gummi said "this calls for a celebration" and she cuts the Gummis from Gummi Glen down
Later at the celebration, Cubbi is talking to one of the Barbic Woods Gummis
"Single handedly, I sent the scoundrels fleeing from the forest" the Gummi said
"Wow, Gritti, you're so strong, I bet you don't even need Gummiberry Juice to keep you out of trouble" Cubbi said
"Juice?" Gritti asked "Never heard of the stuff, all I need are my muscles"
"So what brings you to Ursalia, Ursa?" Zummi asked
"Humans" Ursa said "after they invaded Barbic Woods we could no longer live there"
"They cut down our trees" Gritti said "and what they didn't cut, they burned"
"There's nothing we could do" the Barbic Woods chef, Grubbi, said
"Until now" Ursa said "according the legend, the ultimate Gummi weapon is here, in Ursalia, and when we find it, we'll wipe out the entire human race"
"What?!" Zummi, Grammi, and Gruffi exclaimed
"She's kidding, right?" Sunni asked Buddi, who shrugs
"Join us now, brother Bears, as we seek this ultimate weapon" Ursa said and they rush out
"I knew those bears were trouble, trouble" Thornberry said
"Yeah, but they can't be serious about wiping out humans" Gruffi said
"I don't know Gruffi, they looked pretty serious to me" Cubbi said
"We've got to get our hands on that weapon before they do" Gruffi said
"Then better not tell them about the Gummiscope" Cubbi said "that thing can really pack a wallop"
"Really?" Thornberry asked "I suppose we could check the weapons room"
Outside Ursalia, Sunni and Buddi are riding scooters when they run into Duke Igthorn, who came seeking the Gummiscope
"Igthorn!" Sunni said
"How nice, a welcoming committee" Igthorn said
"Run Buddi, Igthorn's bad news" Sunni said and they return to Ursalia and lock the gates behind them "we've got to warn the others" and she sees a giant horn atop a tower "look, maybe we can warn them with that" and they go to the top of the tower
"Here goes nothing" Buddi said and he blows the horn, which makes the whole city shake and start to crack and brings the other Gummis running
"We're you kids messing around with that horn?" Thornberry asked
"Yeah, but we didn't know it was going to do that" Buddi said
"Honest" Sunni said "we were just trying to warn you about Igthorn"
"Now, now, there's no need to apologize" Ursa said
"Right" Gritti said "thanks to you, now we can finally put an end to those wretched humans"
"You can't use that horn on humans, you've got no right" Gruffi said
"We've got plenty of right" Ursa said
"Yeah" Grubbi said "to arm bears"
"After all" Ursa said "don't forget what the humans did to our ancestors"
"But but but" Zummi stuttered "that horn's much to cowerful to pontrol, powerful to control. We've all seen the damage it can do"
"I think they're right" Buddi said "somebody could get hurt"
"And I think you've been spending too much time with these human lovers" Ursa said
"C'mon Sunni" Gruffi said "it's obvious these barbarics won't listen to anything we say"
"We've listened alright" Ursa said "now you listen, clear out, because we're taking the horn"
"If you want that horn, you'll have to get past me first" Gruffi said and takes a drink of Gummiberry Juice"
"This'll be a cinch" Gritti said as he prepares to fight Gruffi. Gruffi bounces into the Barbic Gummis and knocks them over
"Head for the tower" Gruffi said and the Glen Gummis and Sir Thornberry lock themselves in the tower as the Barbic Gummis grab weapons to try and break into the tower. A pair of Barbic Gummis use grappling hooks to try and climb up the tower
"I'll stop them" Zummi said and he casts a spell that causes the ropes to catch on fire, knocking the Gummis back to the ground. Sunni goes and finds Buddi, to try and put and end to the fighting but are quickly captures by Duke Igthorn, who had managed to climb over the walls. As the Barbic Gummis make it to the top of the tower, Igthorn makes himself known
"Attention Gummis, I believe these belong to you" Igthorn said and he shows them Sunni and Buddi.
"Sunni!" Grammi exclaimed
"Buddi!" Ursa said
"You're gonna regret this pal" Buddi said
"Somehow, I doubt it" Igthorn said "you have until dawn to hand over that horn or I'll turn your little ones into earmuffs"
"Oh I'll give him the horn" Ursa said as she goes to blow into the horn
"Wait!" Gruffi said "you might hurt Sunni and Buddi"
"So you just want to hand over the horn?" Gritti asked
"… that's exactly what we're going to do" Gruffi said
The next morning, the Gummis roll out the horn
"Toadie, can you imagine the look on Gregor's face when I huff and puff and blow his kingdom down?" Igthorn asked "Ogres, fetch their horn"
"Now!" Gruffi said and a net flies out of the horn and captures two Ogres. Several more Gummis come out of the horn and prepare for combat with the Ogres. An Ogre goes to step on Gritti and Cubbi tosses him a vial of Gummiberry Juice
"Thanks, kid" Gritti said and he drinks it, bouncing away and knocking the Ogre that has Sunni and Buddi over, freeing them
"Now everyone back inside the city!" Gruffi said and they being to retreat into Ursalia. Igthorn draws his sword and charges into the Gummis. Ursa blows into the horn, sending Igthorn and the Ogres flying away.
Later, the Gummis dismantle the horn
"I hate to say Gruffi, but you we're right" Ursa said "this horn is much too powerful for our own good"
"Without it, we can't return to Barbic Woods" Gritti said
"Why don't you just stay here in Ursalia?" Thornberry asked "there's plenty of room, plenty, plenty"
"That's not such a crazy idea" Gruffi said
"At least we'd be safe from humans" Ursa said
"And we could share each other's knowledge of Gummi history and traditions" Zummi said
"Together we could even spruce up the old place" Grammi said
"This is great" Buddi said "maybe the grownups will even learn to have fun"
"Now there looks like there might be some hope for us Gummis after all" Zummi said
