[00:00:02]KIDS, GET HOME. IT'S BEDTIME.

[00:00:07]>> GRANDPA. GRANDPA. GRANDPA. Give us a story. Please stomp.

[00:00:15]Please. Grandpa. Story. Grandpa. Sto.

[00:00:20]Please. Sit in front of the fire.

[00:00:30]This is a scary story. Do you think you can handle it?

[00:00:34]>> Yeah. Yeah, we can handle it. Grandpa, tell us. Tell us. Go on.

[00:00:37]>> It's even more scary because it's true.

[00:00:40]I'm going to tell you about the Epic of the Octopus.

[00:00:49]Oh, >> it all started 67 years ago.

[00:01:00]>> Hello. Oh, hello.

[00:01:03]>> That's a good catch you've got.

[00:01:07]>> Hi, Cleo. Oh, I like your weapons.

[00:01:09]>> Hello, sir. Thank you.

[00:01:12]>> Good trade. Good trade.

[00:01:15]Hopefully, I'll have some more for you to trade soon. I was only a young uglian back then, younger than your parents. My job was to care for and hatch the tribe's eggs. I loved my job so much.

[00:01:35]Oh, hello little one.

[00:01:38]Egg, egg, egg, egg, >> egg, egg. Oh, I love that job.

[00:01:44]However, this was the year that everything changed. The gods paid us a visit.

[00:01:54]>> You I once an audience for Wall of Topia. Go and get them.

[00:02:02]>> Okay.

[00:02:03]>> I remember the summons clear as day.

[00:02:08]>> Everyone, the god has appeared. Go to volcano. We had no choice but to see what he had to say.

[00:02:17]>> Octopians, hear my commandment. You will kill 5 million chickens and sacrifice them to me and I will reward you with a new dinosaur and an age of prosperity.

[00:02:31]Fail in this task and I will unleash my titans on the land. They will bring destruction and ruin across all.

[00:02:40]Oh, >> the god just disappeared in a puff of smoke and we had to have a tribe meeting to see what we would do.

[00:02:50]The meeting lasted for hours and despite having lots of warriors in our tribe, we knew we didn't stand a chance against the titans. So, the choice was an easy one.

[00:03:09]KILL THE CHICKENS.

[00:03:11]>> SO, we decided to kill 5 million chickens. I did my part.

[00:03:24]The tribe went about its business with a grim efficiency, and soon we were racking up thousands of chicken kills.

[00:03:35]It sometimes felt like the tribe were enjoying this too much.

[00:03:40]Tribesmen spent every hour of every day killing chickens and started inventing fresh new ways to kill them to make it more exciting. As we reached the 5 million total, the rest of the chickens just fled.

[00:03:59]>> Your task is complete, uglians.

[00:04:03]True to his word, the god blessed us with a mother Orisaur, which laid lots of eggs for us to hatch and use.

[00:04:11]>> I have been sent by the god of utopia.

[00:04:13]You have done well in your sacrifice.

[00:04:18]I will aid you with my eggs.

[00:04:20]>> The orasaur was true to its word and gave us many eggs to hatch, which ended up being my responsibility. Other riches also appeared all across Octopia, leading to an age of prosperity.

[00:04:39]However, chickens are despicable creatures. They remembered what happened and in the shadows they plotted.

[00:04:48]>> What happened next, Grandpa?

[00:04:51]The chickens, or the chickens of doom, as I like to call them now, painted murals all over the crystal cave, remembering what happened and how the Uglans killed them all.

[00:05:06]They hid and they practiced dark arts and studied a means to get revenge.

[00:05:22]Jeff was a simple man, but he was my friend and he did not deserve to be sacrificed.

[00:05:32]The chickens kidnapped him and took him to the oasis and there they sacrificed him to the octopus.

[00:05:47]Things in Utopia started to go horribly wrong.

[00:05:52]It all started with a horrifying sound.

[00:06:00]And then Octopia started experiencing terrible earthquakes.

[00:06:07]>> What's that? Run.

[00:06:11]We're all GOING TO DIE.

[00:06:14]AH, IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD. NOW, I'm a way better diver than you. NO, I'M THE BETTER DIVER. I'm the better diver.

[00:06:19]>> Just go on dive and I'll tell you who I like most.

[00:06:22]>> Then people started disappearing at the oasis.

[00:06:25]>> I'm watching.

[00:06:27]Don't fall off.

[00:06:30]>> All right. Be careful.

[00:06:32]>> Wait. Wait for me. Don't go forced.

[00:06:35]>> Both jump at once.

[00:06:36]>> Ready? Three, two, one, jump.

[00:06:45]Kids, kids, kids, you can come out now. I can't swim. I can't go in after them. Help.

[00:06:57]>> Our dinosaurs started acting strangely and flipping their riders. And then they run off away from Octopia.

[00:07:07]>> No, come back.

[00:07:07]>> When the riders went to get Come on, we're going home.

[00:07:10]>> They killed them.

[00:07:12]>> But >> I was gathering eggs and then I heard it.

[00:07:20]>> The horrifying scream. And when I went back to Octopia, the octopus had invaded.

[00:07:29]I was not what you would call a brave ape, but I ran into Octopia that day to try and find anyone left alive to try and help them get out.

[00:07:42]It seemed that everyone and all the dinosaurs had already fled.

[00:07:49]I was surrounded.

[00:07:52]I tried going so many different ways, but the tentacles were everywhere.

[00:07:59]Luckily, a young TRIBESMAN FOUND HER size >> and guided me to safety.

[00:08:08]There were so few Otopians left. I hid with him in that cave and I cried and I waited.

[00:08:20]the dark.

[00:08:20]>> The tribes jaw warriors made a counterattack. They fought valiantly and drove the octopus away, but many perished.

[00:08:32]But with their sacrifice, the rest of us survived and lived on when we emerged from the cave.

[00:08:40]>> Oh no.

[00:08:41]>> Oh no. What's happened?

[00:08:43]>> There was nobody left.

[00:08:45]>> Octopia.

[00:08:46]>> We vowed to rebuild Octopia.

[00:08:50]No. To honor those that had fallen in the battle against the octopus.

[00:09:00]I'm tired. Talking about this has brought back some bad memories. I just want to go to bed now. Good night, children.

[00:09:07]>> Tell us more. Tell us more. Tell us more. Tell us more. Please, Grandpa.

[00:09:11]Please tell us more.

[00:09:13]>> Get the bed.

[00:09:16]>> Good night, Grandpa. I'm sure Bean's got him to bed by now. Sleep tight.

[00:09:25]Check it.

[00:09:47]You're not okay.
