[Narrator] Storm clouds gathered above Bloodvine Ridge. Rain washed blood across ancient jungle stone. Quallan war cries echoed through the darkness. And Kyra Skallson... the Storm Spear herself... lay motionless in the mud. [Kyra] “Groarr...” [Narrator] A jagged war club crashed against her skull. Stormfang Spear slipped beside the rain-soaked stones. The Quallans circled her laughing. Bone armor. Poisoned spears. Yellow teeth beneath painted faces. Then the jungle answered. [Groarr ROARS] [Narrator] Trees exploded outward violently. Black fur burst through the storm. Seven hundred pounds of rage and muscle. Seven feet tall beneath the lightning sky. GROARR. The ape king charged across the ridge line— Then LEAPT from the cliffs above. He crashed into the Quallan warband like a falling mountain. One warrior vanished beneath his fists instantly. Another had both arms ripped free from his body. [Narrator] A Quallan screamed and lunged with a spear— Groarr seized him by the spine, Lifted him overhead, Then smashed his body through another raider’s skull. Blood sprayed across the jungle rain. Three Quallans rushed from the canyon wall. Groarr tore a massive boulder free from the cliffside And hurled it through them. Bones shattered. Bodies folded beneath the impact. The stone crushed two instantly— The third exploded against the rock face. [Choir] GROARR! BLACK JUNGLE KING! GROARR! RAGE BENEATH THE STORM! [Narrator] Poisoned spears struck deep into his shoulders. One buried into his side. Groarr staggered beneath the venom— Then ROARED louder than thunder itself. [Groarr FULL ROAR] He ripped the spear free from his flesh, Turned— And hurled it through TWO charging Quallans. The spear punched through the first warrior’s chest, Burst through his spine, Then tore into another behind him. Both collapsed drowning in blood. [Narrator] Across the battlefield... a Quallan captain seized Kyra’s unconscious body. Stormfang Spear still rested beside the fallen princess. The raider dragged her toward the jungle path. Trying to flee. Trying to steal the daughter of House Skall. [Groarr growls low] [Narrator] Then Groarr saw him. The ape king rose slowly beneath the storm. Blood pouring from spear wounds. Amber eyes burning with primal fury. He slammed both fists against his massive chest. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Like war drums of the jungle gods. [Groarr ROARS] [Narrator] Groarr charged. The jungle floor cracked beneath his feet. Quallans scattered screaming before him. One warrior tried to block the path— Groarr crushed his skull one-handed. Another leapt from above with twin blades— Groarr caught him in midair And tore him apart across his knee. The captain ran faster. Kyra limp within his arms. Too slow. BLACK JUNGLE KING! DEATH BENEATH THE RAIN! BLACK JUNGLE KING! BREAK THEIR BONES AGAIN! BLACK JUNGLE KING! RAGE THEY CANNOT TAME! BLACK JUNGLE KING! THE JUNGLE KNOWS YOUR NAME! [Narrator] Groarr LEAPT. The ape king crashed into the Quallan captain from behind. Stone shattered beneath the impact. The raider screamed once— Then Groarr tore his arm completely free. Kyra rolled weakly through the rain. Stormfang Spear gleamed beside her hand. Groarr dropped beside the fallen princess instantly. One massive arm wrapped protectively around her body. Then he ROARED toward the surviving Quallans. A warning. A promise. COME NO CLOSER. BLACK JUNGLE KING! FURY OF THE WILD! BLACK JUNGLE KING! GUARDIAN OF THE STORM CHILD! THROUGH BLOOD AND THUNDER! THROUGH FIRE AND PAIN! THEY FEAR YOUR ROAR— THEY FEAR YOUR NAME! [Kyra] “Groarr...” [Narrator] And beneath the storm... the Black Jungle King stood guard beside the last daughter of House Skall... while the Quallans fled screaming into the dark.
