Two Monsters, Same Blood {Nimona Movie}

At the Market

In a commercial, two kids are messing with their cereal, all bored. "Starving?" The announcer asks. A dragon rises from a bowl of pink cereal, roaring. "Kwispy!" The kids shout happily as the dragon fills up the bowels. A knight pushes a tray on the table as the commercial said, "Then slay your hunger with Dragon Krisps!" The banana splits song plays as kids are dressed up in kiddie knight outfits, slaying the cartoon dragon.

Nimona in a gorilla form watches the commercial with a frown while eating a slice of pizza while on the other side, Areli's eating another slice of fresh food, happy at the luck that she got her favorite kind. Nimona notices Bal watching her eat and stops from starting on the crust giving the man a side-eye. "You've been staring. Did somebody want pizza?" Nimona talks in a baby voice, swaying the crust in his face. Bal sighs and asked, "Can you please just be normal for a second?" Nimona makes a face and Areli even raised an eyebrow at that. "Normal?"

Nimona asks. Bal rolls his eyes and said "I just think it'd be easier if you were a girl." "Easier to be a girl? You're hilarious." She relaxes on her chair as Bal goes on, "I mean, easier if you look human." Nimona scoffs at this. "Easier for who? You ain't bothered by this are you, kid?" She asks Areli, who shakes her head and said, "I don't mind."

""How did you get like this?" Bal asked as Nimona looks at him. "What? You mean awesome?" She questioned as she smirks. Bal goes on, "No, how do you- I'm just trying to understand what we're working with here." Nimona straightens in her seat and draws her face closer to Bal's. "I'm. Nimona."

She raises her brow, daring the man to continue. Bal does not back down and said, "That explains literally nothing." Nimona draws out a long sigh and shrugs before saying, "No, you're right." She turns back into her punk self and said, "You deserve a better explanation than that." She looks outside the train as she explains, ""I was only a little girl. Cute, little, innocent me. I was playing in the woods, following the birds flying and the fish swimming, and the deer bounding. They all looked so happy together, but I... I was alone."

"That's when I heard it...a song, calling me, leading me to a wishing well." Bal cuts into the story, "How did you know it wasn't just a regular well?" Nimona gives Bal a look and questions,"Do you wanna tell my stories for me?" Bal holds up his hands in defense and said, "Right. Sorry. Go on." Nimona continues, "As I slowly approach the well, a coin appeared in the palm of my hand as if by magic. And I knew what I had to do. I summoned my courage, held the coin tight, and threw it into the well, and made a wish."

"A wish to one day... be trapped on a subway, with an uptight knight asking me small-minded questions and a small shapeshifting baby." She smirks at Bal's tired face and Areli's unamused look as the train slows to a stop. "Do you still have that pizza?" Bal asks and Nimona smiled and gives him the crust. With the crust in his hand, he flicks it on her head, making the girl laugh at this. He turns to Areli and questioned about her past, which she tells him that it's like Nimona, only she called him an old hag and Nimona a chaotic teen. The train stops and the announcer speaks up, "Now arriving at Market Station." Nimona scoots closer to the window and said, "Cool, we're here."

She then smiles fondly before adding, "Oh! And so are your friends." Bal looks out to see Ambrosius sanding behind many knights that are aiming their crossbows at the trio. Bal panics and pulls the girls down to not be seen through the window. "Do you think he saw us?" Bal asks and Nimona tilts her head before peeking up to the window where the aiming light all point at her face. She slowly goes down. "Yes." She simply says, making Bal wince.

Something crashes through the window and onto the floor. The object is shaped like a torpedo and the light blinks rapidly before blowing up into a heavy screen of smoke. The knights flood into the train, all looking around to spot the riders. As Ambrosius walks in, the knights do not spot them. A feeling comes over the knight and he looks up, to where there is a large hole in the roof as he mutters, "What in the name of Gloreth?" Todd takes a look at the whole, speaking in a hushed tone, "Tiny whale." In an alleyway, gorilla Nimona punches a grate out of the ground and pulls out Bal and cat Areli. "Did Goldenloin see you, you know, do the thing?"

Bal worriedly asks while Nimona growls at this and said, "Seriously? That guy cut off your arm, you're worried about being seen with me." Areli then said, "Mister Ballister told you that it's-" Nimona interrupts her, "Complicated. Yeah, I know." Bal notices something and points right at it. "Look! Squire."

He calls out the boy annoyingly ringing a stall's bell and calling out to whoever is in there. Bal keeps his eyes on the boy as he whispered, "Okay. We got to get him out of here quietly." Nimona nods and is about to go over there with Areli until Bal puts his arm in front of the gorilla's chest and said, "Wait, not like that." She and Areli then went normal and are about to walk out until Bal calls out to them, "Not like that either!" Nimona turns to Ballister and said, "You want us to shift, you don't want us to shift. Pick a lane!" She turns into a small boy with black hair and black bags under the eyes and Areli turns into a koala before Ballister said, "And now you're a boy and koala."

"We are today." Nimona said as she and Areli headed off to get the squire. Ballister tried to follow, but he had to cover his face to avoid getting caught by the knights until he hears Ambrosious' voice, "I know he's here. Find him!" Civilians gathered around him for an autograph while Bal hid inside a car. He checks the rear camera, but a voice stops him, "Don't. Move." He held his breath and slowly turns to his right to see a cars salesperson leaning against the open window as she said, "'Cause if you do, you're gonna miss out on a great deal today!"

Meanwhile, the Squire walks when Nimona (small boy) approached him while carrying Areli (koala) in her arms as she spoke in a childish voice, "Excuse me, mister squire, sir, I can't find my mommy." She points to an alley with spooky fog as she continued, "She went to that scary alley over there. Can you help me find her? Please?" She does the puppy eyes before the squire said, "Oh, no." He turns his eyes to look for someone else to help the boy as he said, "Let me pin this problem onto someone else." In a quick second, Nimona spoke in a demonic voice and showing her teeth, "There's no time!" The squire yelled with shock as he backs away from the demon baby.

With Ballister, the salesperson was showing him the car features as she opens the car roof and turns the music on. He tried to duck down as the music caught Ambrosius' attention as he kindly asked the citizens, "Could you part the waters? Thank you." He moves through the car and towards the car, which Ballister sees through the rear camera. With the Squire, he was running as he yelled, "Help me, please! Please, help me! I'm going chased by a demon baby!" Nimona gets in front of him as she growled. He screamed and attempts to punch her, only for her to bite his fist, causing him to scream.

That scream caught Ambrosius and some guards' attention as they went off. Ballister took notice as the salesperson puts on the news, showing Ballister, Nimona, and Areli on the "Most Wanted" posters. Now nervous, she said, "Uh, you look a lot like..." Ballister locked the doors and snapped, "I'm innocent!" The salesperson screamed as he drives the car while Nimona and Areli dragged the Squire. He tried to throw objects at them and threw a slice of pizza with pineapples at Nimona. "Pineapple on pizza? Blegh!" Nimona grimaced in disgust as the two see guards heading their way before she muttered, "Uh oh."

The Squire got out of their grip as he attempts to run, but Ballister ran him over, knocking him towards a stand and made him black out. "You said we need the guy alive, yet you killed him? Hypocrite much?" Areli questioned as Ballister picked up the unconscious squire and said, "He's not dead! Hopefully." They dragged the squire in the trunk of the car just as Ambrosius yelled, "Bal, stop!" Areli went in the car as the two boyfriends looked at each other until knights shoot arrows. Nimona opened the passenger door and said to the salesperson, "We'll take it."

She throws the salesperson out and the trio drive away. Silence filled the air throughout the trip as Ballister was focusing on the road. Nimona and Areli were also quiet before Nimona said, "I hate to say it, but you'd make a pretty good bad guy." Ballister said nothing but glared at the disguised pink teen.
