The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter Page #4

---

Sure.

What's happening?

The beams! They've destroyed the beams!

Fix it!

Do you remember what to say?

Yeah.

Make it loud.

The Earthling Bastian Balthazar Bux...

...and Atreyu...

...the warrior from the Great Plains--

ls that what you call loud in your world?

The Earthling Bastian Balthazar Bux...

...and Atreyu,

the warrior from the Great Plains...

...demand to see the master of this castle!

That should get somebody's attention.

Guess whose?

Do they make strong gates in Fantasia?

Keep talking.

Keep talking!

Hi.

You're probably wondering why l'm here.

That's a reasonable question.

ln the past we've had our differences...

...but l'm sure they can be worked out.

lt all gets back to us

starting to communicate, right?

There's all kinds of communication.

Some do it with a look.

Some do it with a smile.

Some do it with...

...a sickle.

l read that somewhere. l like to read.

You're probably not interested.

You probably hate books.

Eggs? Eggs will do us a lot of good!

Wham-Bos, go!

Now's your chance, go!

What about them?

-lt's a good day to die.

-Don't say that!

-Give me five!

-Five what?

Forget it! l'll see you inside.

l wish there was some other way in.

l wish for another step!

And another one.

And another.

And another one.

Nice. Very nice.

Giants!

l wish for another one!

And another!

Atreyu!

Try to swing around.

lt won't work.

The chain.

Grab it!

Pull!

Pull!

Come on, pull!

We need weapons!

l wish for a spraycan.

That's a weapon in your world?

People use it against walls.

Those walls must be dangerous.

l don't believe what we have done.

l do.

The Giants are empty.

They're hollow and empty.

Like the Rockbiter's stones...

...and the pages of The Neverending Story.

l know what threatens Fantasia.

You have found its name?

lt's the Emptiness.

The Earthling knows about the Emptiness.

He's stronger than we thought.

Perhaps threatening him with Giants

isn't the way.

Time for a change of tactics.

What does the Emptiness look like?

How does it fight?

l think we're about to find out.

l wish for the doors to open!

l am Xayide.

This is my castle.

And the Giants?

They were mine.

But you have conquered them.

l admit defeat.

l have defeated you?

We.

That someone so young could be so clever.

You make everything empty.

l control all that is empty.

Just to control things,

you destroy stories and books?

l'm trying to bring order

to the chaos of Fantasia.

Am l wrong?

You certainly are! l demand that you free

the Childlike Empress!

-l can't.

-Why not?

l've isolated her forever.

You made the spell and you can undo it!

Not from here l can't.

So we'll go to the lvory Tower.
