Episode: Zarag
Episode Description:
Blob, Frizz and Nug have gone on holiday and are relaxing on the edge of the sea of desruction. They are playing with a beach ball and when Nugg goes to retrieve the ball he finds a bottle. He curiously uncorks it and out flies a strange being that was trapped inside it. Inside Viltheed, Zordrak is not pleased that he still doesn't possess the Dreamstone and upon finding out the Urpney's are on holiday he is far from pleased. He tells Urpgor to immediatly summon the troops back as nobody should be allowed on holiday until he has the Dreamstone. Meanwhile, Urpgor has invented a flying machine for himself and plans to go to the Land of Dreams himself to steal the Dreamstone. He has also invented a communicating devive to allow Zordrak to hear his every move once he is there.
In the Land of Dreams, the strange being that was released from the bottle steals the Dreamstone during a moment when it's unattended. Upon finding the Dreamstone missing, the Dreammaker, Rufus and Amberley assume that Zordrak has somehow stolen it. They soon decide that the best option is to go to Viltheed and swipe the stone straight back from Zordrak totally unaware that he doesn't actually have it. Pildit, Rufus and Amberley go to Viltheed where totally unaware cross paths with Urpgor in the mist of limbo. Urpgor arrives at the Dreammakers house and overhears the Dreammaker talking to Albert about the stone being missing, which Zordrak also hears through the communicator. Rufus and Amberley have crept into Zordrak's throne room and also hear Zordrak's conversation with Urpgor about Urpgor's plan to steal the Dreamstone. At this point both parties realise that neither one has the Dreamstone and start to wonder who could have taken it.
Urpgor heads back to Viltheed, but while flying over the Dark Woods he drops his communicator device. The being who stole the Dreamstone picks it up launghing. Zordrak immediatly recognises the voice on the other end. It's Zarag, Zordrak's sister. We learn that he imprisoned her in the bottle 500 years ago due to a disagreement she had with him. She tells Zordrak that she has the Dreamstone and she will not let it go as she plans on wearing it in her hair. Rufus and Amberley are still in Zordrak's throne room and hear the whole conversation. They decide to go back and tell the Dreammaker what they have learned.
Both the Dreammaker and Urpgor come up with the same idea, to hold a ball in Zarag's honour to appeal to her vanity. They hope that she will attend the ball wearing the Dreamstone, so they can take it from her. When delivering invites to the Dark Woods, both the Urpney's and Noops discover each others invitations. Upon hearing about the ball in the Land of Dreams, Zordrak sends the Urpney's to destroy the Noops ball preparations, so Zarag will have no choice of which ball she attends.
Rufus, Amberley and Pildit decide to go to Viltheed to get the Dreamstone from Zarag. They dress up in a disguise in the hopes of dancing with Zarag and snatching the Dreamstone at the best opportunity. Her dances becomes far too energetic for them and she sends them flying to the ground. A mystery stranger enters the dance floor and dances with Zarag, so fast that Zordrak is unable to keep an eye on them through his view screen. From the sheer excitement of the dancing, Zarag faints and the stranger takes the Dreamstone. Neither Zarag or Zordrak are happy to find the Dreamstone has been taken. Back in the Land of Dreams we find out that the mystery stranger was infact the Dreammaker, who followed as a back up behind Rufus, Amberley and Pildit.
