Season 180 - Episode 748: "Royal Villains Are No Pants Subway Ride"
INT. UNDERGROUND SUBWAY STATION - NIGHT
The flickering lights cast eerie shadows along the cold stone walls. The sound of distant footsteps echoes through the deserted halls. Five figures, cloaked in mystery and mischief, silently approach the train platform.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(grinning wickedly)
"Tonight, my friends, the kingdom will remember us—not for our titles, but for our daring deeds."
PRINCESS SERAPHINE
(playful and mischievous, twirling her hair)
"Who knew you could be so creative, Damian? A no-pants ride—truly scandalous!"
The group of villains, led by Prince Damian, includes Prince Alejandro, Prince Rafael, Prince Lucius, and Princess Seraphine. All of them are hiding their faces behind ornate masks, their regal attire flowing dramatically—except for one glaring absence: their pants. They sneak aboard the subway, blending into the crowd.
INT. SUBWAY CAR - NIGHT
The doors slide open, and the train roars forward through the dark tunnels. The royal villains remain seated, exchanging smirks. The tension in the air builds. The passengers, unaware of the coming spectacle, are busy with their mundane routines.
Suddenly, Prince Damian stands, whipping off his long coat to reveal his royal tunic—bare legs beneath. The others follow suit.
PRINCE ALEJANDRO
(shouting with a laugh)
"Let the chaos begin!"
The passengers gasp in shock, while some burst into laughter. A few elderly onlookers stare wide-eyed, unable to comprehend the bizarre sight before them. Smartphones flash as people begin recording the audacious act.
PRINCE RAFAEL
(mocking a courtly bow)
"To all you commoners, welcome to the Royal Express—no pants required."
The subway car erupts into chaos, a mixture of laughter and shock spreading through the kingdom's underground.
INT. ROYAL PALACE - NIGHT
News travels fast. In the grand hall of the royal palace, King Maximus sits on his throne, a deep frown creasing his brow. Advisors stand around him, whispering, but the King holds up a hand to silence them.
KING MAXIMUS
(calmly, but stern)
"This is unacceptable. These villains mock the dignity of the crown."
In the corner, Prince Cedric, brave and honorable, listens attentively. His sharp eyes narrow with determination.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"Father, I will bring them back. This is no laughing matter—they must be reminded that royalty comes with responsibility."
Princess Arabella and Prince Sebastian exchange glances, ready to follow Cedric on his mission.
PRINCESS ARABELLA
(grinning)
"I never thought I'd be chasing villains over missing pants, but here we are."
PRINCE SEBASTIAN
"Let's just hope they're easier to catch without their trousers."
EXT. SUBWAY STATION - NIGHT
Cedric and his companions arrive at the station just as the no-pants spectacle reaches its height. The train stops, and the villains step out onto the platform, still laughing, their ridiculous display attracting a growing crowd.
PRINCE CEDRIC
(commanding voice)
"Damian! Enough of this nonsense. The kingdom's honor is not a joke."
Damian, ever the charismatic villain, turns to face Cedric, a playful smirk still dancing on his lips.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"Ah, Cedric. Always so serious. Relax, my friend, it's just a bit of fun."
Cedric steps forward, unswayed by Damian's charm.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"Fun or not, you've crossed a line. It's time to come back and answer for your actions."
PRINCESS SERAPHINE
(grinning, leaning closer to Damian)
"You know, Cedric, sometimes a little chaos can bring people together."
But Cedric remains firm, his eyes locked on Damian. Behind him, Arabella and Sebastian prepare to act.
INT. SUBWAY STATION - NIGHT
As Cedric closes in, the situation shifts from lighthearted chaos to tense confrontation. Passengers gather around, watching the showdown between Cedric and the rebellious royals. The crowd buzzes with excitement—some cheering for the heroes, others still giggling at the villains' audacity.
PRINCE SEBASTIAN
(whispering to Cedric)
"We've got them cornered, Cedric. Let's end this quickly."
But before Cedric can respond, something unexpected happens. Prince Damian steps forward, no longer mocking, his smile fading.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(softly, unexpectedly sincere)
"Cedric, you think this is just a joke, but you've never seen what lies beneath the surface. You uphold the crown, but what does it really mean to us?"
There's a moment of silence as Cedric listens, unsure of what Damian is implying.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"What are you saying, Damian?"
PRINCE DAMIAN
"The kingdom isn't as perfect as you think. This was more than a joke—it was a message. Sometimes, you have to break the rules to make a point."
Cedric's gaze hardens, but his curiosity grows. The crowd, no longer just entertained, senses something deeper at play.
EXT. SUBWAY EXIT - NIGHT
As the villains are finally apprehended, there's a sense of resolution in the air, but not without the lingering question of Damian's cryptic words. Cedric orders the guards to escort them back to the palace for judgment, but the seeds of doubt have been planted in his mind.
INT. ROYAL PALACE - THRONE ROOM - NIGHT
The episode closes with the villains standing before King Maximus, their heads held high despite the punishment they're about to receive. The kingdom is restored to order, but the memory of the no-pants subway ride lingers—both as a wild prank and a strange moment of reflection for the kingdom's future.
KING MAXIMUS
"The order of the crown will be maintained, but even in the midst of mischief, there is always a lesson."
PRINCE CEDRIC
(looking out the window, contemplative)
"Maybe the villains had a point after all… but that's a lesson for another time."
FADE OUT.
TO BE CONTINUED…
INT. SUBWAY STATION - NIGHT
The train comes to a screeching halt as the royal villains, led by Prince Damian, step off, still laughing from the chaos they've caused. Their pantless rebellion has drawn a massive crowd, and the station is abuzz with mixed reactions. Some laugh in amusement, while others stand in disbelief, muttering about the scandal.
PRINCE ALEJANDRO
(stretching, enjoying the attention)
"Ah, nothing like a little rebellion to keep the kingdom on its toes."
PRINCESS SERAPHINE
(smiling playfully at the gawking crowd)
"The people love it, don't they? A break from the monotony of royal etiquette."
Damian watches the scene unfold, but his smile begins to fade as he notices something. In the distance, Prince Cedric, flanked by Princess Arabella and Prince Sebastian, approaches with purpose. Cedric's face is a mask of determination, and it's clear he's ready to put an end to the madness.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(to himself, quietly)
"Here we go."
As Cedric gets closer, the crowd parts, sensing the tension. Damian steps forward, holding up a hand as his fellow villains prepare to bolt.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(calm, almost too calm)
"Cedric, I was wondering when you'd show up. I hope you're here to join the fun."
PRINCE CEDRIC
(firm, ignoring the bait)
"Enough of this, Damian. You've taken your joke too far. It's time to return to the palace and face the consequences."
Damian tilts his head, his smirk returning but tinged with something more thoughtful.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"Consequences, consequences. Cedric, do you ever wonder if the kingdom would benefit from a little less tradition and a little more… chaos?"
PRINCESS ARABELLA
(stepping forward, eyebrow raised)
"You think a no-pants subway ride is the answer to your problems? I expected more from you, Damian."
PRINCE SEBASTIAN
(crossing his arms)
"Yeah, this seems like a mid-life crisis more than a revolution."
The villains share a laugh at Sebastian's quip, but Damian's gaze remains fixed on Cedric. The two princes, once childhood friends, now stood on opposite sides of the royal divide.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"You don't get it, do you, Cedric? This isn't just about the pants. It's about freedom. We're always bound by these expectations, these rules… When do we get to decide what kind of royals we want to be?"
PRINCE CEDRIC
(his voice softens)
"Damian, you're not trapped by the crown. We all have a choice in how we lead. But chaos isn't leadership."
The crowd, which had been murmuring, falls silent as the two princes' words sink in. There's a gravity to this moment that wasn't there before.
PRINCE RAFAEL
(sensing the shift, murmurs to Damian)
"Maybe we should bail before this turns into a lecture."
But Damian doesn't move. For a moment, it seems like Cedric's words are reaching him. Then, with a flicker of his trademark grin, Damian steps closer.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(playful, but with a touch of sincerity)
"You know, Cedric, maybe you're right. Maybe I've gone too far this time."
Cedric blinks, caught off-guard by Damian's sudden shift. Arabella and Sebastian glance at each other, unsure whether to trust Damian's change of tone.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"Are you surrendering?"
Damian chuckles, shaking his head.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"Let's call it… a truce. For now."
Suddenly, Prince Lucius steps forward, clearly not ready to give up on the chaos just yet.
PRINCE LUCIUS
"Damian, we're just getting started! The kingdom's in an uproar—why stop now?"
Damian turns to his fellow villains, his expression softening slightly.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"Because sometimes, Lucius, even a villain needs to know when to pull back. Besides…"
(he glances at Cedric, a knowing smile on his face)
"The best part of chaos is the unpredictability. And who says we can't stir things up another day?"
The villains exchange glances, surprised by Damian's sudden change of heart. The crowd begins to disperse, sensing that the excitement is over.
EXT. ROYAL PALACE - NIGHT
Later that evening, Cedric, Arabella, and Sebastian return to the palace with Damian and the other villains in tow. King Maximus stands at the top of the grand staircase, his face unreadable as the group approaches.
KING MAXIMUS
(calmly)
"Damian, you've caused quite the stir tonight. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
Damian glances up at the King, then at Cedric beside him. For a brief moment, something flickers in his eyes—regret, perhaps.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"Only that sometimes, your Majesty, the kingdom needs a little shaking up to remind us all what's important."
The King's brow furrows, but before he can respond, Cedric steps forward.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"Father, Damian may have gone too far, but he's not entirely wrong. The kingdom is changing, and maybe we need to listen."
King Maximus regards his son for a long moment, then nods.
KING MAXIMUS
"Perhaps. But there are better ways to make a point than disrupting the kingdom's order with… no pants."
The room erupts in laughter, and even Damian cracks a smile. The tension lifts, and though the villains are still bound to answer for their actions, a sense of understanding has been reached.
EXT. VILLAGE - NIGHT
As the moon rises high over the kingdom, the people gather in taverns and homes, still talking about the no-pants subway ride. It becomes a story that will be passed down, not just as a scandal, but as a strange, unexpected event that brought people together in laughter and confusion.
For the villains, it's not the end of their mischief, but perhaps the start of something deeper—an understanding of the power they wield and the choices they must make.
And for Cedric, Arabella, and Sebastian, it's another victory, not just in stopping chaos, but in realizing that even the most mischievous royals have something important to say.
FADE OUT.

THE END
EXT. ROYAL PALACE - NIGHT
The palace looms above as the moonlight shines on the grand marble staircase. The soft whispers of the royal subjects echo across the courtyard as Prince Cedric, Princess Arabella, and Prince Sebastian return from their mission with the captured villains in tow—still pantless but no longer in high spirits. The mischievous smirks that once graced their faces have been replaced by mixed emotions—some pride, some regret.
At the top of the staircase, King Maximus, regal and stern, stands with his arms crossed. His advisors whisper behind him, concerned about how the night's events have rocked the kingdom. The King steps forward, his eyes fixed on Prince Damian, the mastermind behind the chaos.
KING MAXIMUS
(calm but with an edge of disappointment)
"Damian, Alejandro, Rafael, Lucius, Seraphine… you've made quite the spectacle tonight. I've heard the stories, seen the headlines. Do any of you have an explanation for this… no-pants rebellion?"
PRINCE DAMIAN
(smirking, his usual charm coming through)
"Your Majesty, sometimes the kingdom needs a little shake-up. We were only having fun—what harm is there in reminding people that royals can be unpredictable too?"
The King's eyes narrow slightly, his patience tested. Cedric steps forward, hoping to de-escalate the situation.
PRINCE CEDRIC
(firm but calm)
"Father, the kingdom's in an uproar. While some laughed, others are outraged. This has gone beyond a simple joke. Damian's actions have disrupted the order we've worked so hard to maintain."
PRINCESS SERAPHINE
(still unbothered, tilting her head playfully)
"Order, order, order—does everything in this kingdom always have to be so serious? What's wrong with a little mischief?"
King Maximus raises a hand, silencing the back-and-forth. He turns his focus on Damian.
KING MAXIMUS
(sternly)
"Mischief is not the issue. It's the blatant disregard for what we represent. The crown isn't just a symbol of power—it's a responsibility. And when those who wear it act recklessly, it reflects on all of us."
The courtyard grows quiet. The weight of the King's words lingers in the air. Prince Rafael and Prince Lucius exchange glances, realizing that perhaps their antics weren't as harmless as they first thought.
PRINCE RAFAEL
(softly, almost to himself)
"Maybe… we did go too far."
PRINCE LUCIUS
(reluctantly nodding)
"Yeah. It was supposed to be a joke."
Damian, however, doesn't back down. He steps forward, his voice carrying a deeper intensity.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"But that's exactly the problem, Your Majesty. We're always so careful. Always so predictable. I did this to show everyone that we don't have to be. That even royals can break free from their chains."
KING MAXIMUS
(disappointed but calm)
"Freedom doesn't come from chaos, Damian. It comes from understanding the power you hold and using it wisely."
Damian is silent for a moment, his gaze dropping as he processes the King's words. He opens his mouth to retort but stops himself, glancing at Cedric and his companions.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(quieter, more introspective)
"Maybe I've been going about this all wrong…"
Princess Arabella steps forward, her voice gentle but firm.
PRINCESS ARABELLA
"Damian, it's not too late. We're family. You don't need to resort to this kind of rebellion to make your voice heard."
Damian meets her gaze, something shifting in his expression. For the first time, his confidence wavers, and he begins to reconsider the path he's been walking.
PRINCE ALEJANDRO
(grinning sheepishly)
"Well, this has been a wild ride. But maybe we should leave the subway stunts to the commoners."
PRINCE SEBASTIAN
(chuckling)
"Definitely. I think we've all seen enough royal legs for a lifetime."
The lighthearted remark breaks the tension slightly, and even King Maximus allows a small smile to tug at the corner of his lips.
KING MAXIMUS
(sighing but with warmth in his tone)
"You're young, impulsive, and yes, sometimes rebellious. But you're also part of this kingdom's future. Let this be a lesson—there are ways to shake things up without causing chaos."
Damian nods, finally showing a hint of humility. He looks to Cedric, who offers him a small nod of understanding.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"There's room for change, Damian. But we need to do it together, not through stunts like this."
Damian steps forward, extending a hand to Cedric in a gesture of truce.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"Truce, then. But don't expect me to stop pushing the boundaries."
Cedric takes his hand, shaking it with a smile.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"I wouldn't expect anything less."
INT. ROYAL COURT - THE NEXT DAY
The court is full of murmurs and gossip as King Maximus prepares to address the kingdom. Damian and his fellow villains stand at the side, now dressed in full royal attire—pants included. Cedric stands beside them, a sign of unity between the once-clashing factions.
KING MAXIMUS
(addressing the kingdom)
"Citizens of our great kingdom, last night's events were a reminder that even we, your rulers, are not immune to mischief. But let it be known—change and progress do not have to come through chaos. They come through unity, through understanding, and through working together."
The court applauds, and the tension that had once divided the kingdom begins to fade. Damian watches from the side, his expression thoughtful. He may have lost the battle of rebellion, but a part of him knows that this is just the beginning of his journey to find his true purpose.
As the camera pans out, the memory of the no-pants subway ride remains etched in the minds of the kingdom's people, serving as both a humorous chapter and a lesson in balance between tradition and progress.
FADE OUT.
EXT. KINGDOM SUBWAY STATION - NIGHT
The flickering lights of the kingdom's underground subway illuminate the scene. Hidden beneath their masks, Prince Damian, Prince Alejandro, Prince Rafael, Prince Lucius, and Princess Seraphine prepare for their grand entrance. Their grins are barely visible, but the excitement and mischief radiate from the group.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(whispering conspiratorially)
"Tonight, we show them that royalty isn't confined to the throne. We'll remind everyone that even the royal bloodlines know how to break free."
PRINCESS SERAPHINE
(giggling)
"Let's see how long it takes for them to figure out we've ditched the royal decorum—and our pants."
They all share a quiet chuckle, adjusting their cloaks before stepping onto the train platform. The crowded station bustles with people from all walks of life. None suspect the spectacle that's about to unfold.
INT. CROWDED SUBWAY CAR - NIGHT
The train doors open with a hiss, and the five villains slip inside unnoticed. Passengers, lost in their own thoughts, barely glance at them—until, one by one, the royals dramatically reveal their true identities, tossing their cloaks aside to reveal their elaborate, royal regalia… minus the pants.
Gasps and murmurs ripple through the train car. Some passengers laugh, while others look on in disbelief, scandalized by the audacity. Cameras flash as people snap pictures, and whispers spread throughout the car.
PASSENGER 1
(giggling)
"Is that… Prince Damian?"
PASSENGER 2
(grinning)
"Oh, this is gonna be all over the kingdom by morning!"
The villains revel in the attention, strutting down the train car with exaggerated confidence.
PRINCE RAFAEL
(grinning wildly)
"We've outdone ourselves, Damian."
PRINCE ALEJANDRO
(flashing a grin at a shocked noblewoman)
"Oh, lighten up. It's just a little royal fun."
As the train speeds through the tunnels, the news spreads across the kingdom like wildfire. The cameras of gossip columnists capture every moment, broadcasting it live for all to see.
INT. ROYAL PALACE - NIGHT
King Maximus, seated in his grand chamber, watches the unfolding chaos on a large screen, his brow furrowing in displeasure. His advisors stand behind him, whispering nervously. The King's calm exterior hides the storm brewing beneath.
KING MAXIMUS
(sighing)
"Of all the foolish stunts…"
ADVISOR 1
"Your Majesty, should we dispatch the royal guards?"
KING MAXIMUS
"No. Not yet. We'll give Cedric the chance to handle this. It's time the younger generation understands the weight of the crown."
EXT. KINGDOM STREETS - NIGHT
The news reaches Prince Cedric, who's with his companions, Princess Arabella and Prince Sebastian, in the middle of an important diplomatic meeting. Cedric's normally calm face twists with frustration as he watches the live footage.
PRINCE CEDRIC
(exasperated)
"Damian... Of course it's him."
PRINCESS ARABELLA
(smiling faintly)
"It's not every day you see royals causing a scandal like this. But Cedric, we can't let this slide. The kingdom is in an uproar."
PRINCE SEBASTIAN
(smirking)
"Though I have to admit, this is kind of impressive. Ridiculous, but impressive."
Cedric shakes his head, already making plans.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"We'll put an end to this before it gets further out of hand. Arabella, Sebastian, with me. Let's bring the villains back to reality."
INT. SUBWAY STATION - NIGHT
The train pulls into the station where Cedric, Arabella, and Sebastian wait, their royal insignias shining under the dim lights. As the train comes to a stop, the doors open to reveal the royal villains mid-escapade, still pantless but thoroughly enjoying their rebellious moment.
PRINCE CEDRIC
(stepping forward with authority)
"Enough. The joke's over."
PRINCE DAMIAN
(smirking, unbothered)
"Ah, Cedric! Just in time to see us rewrite the royal playbook."
PRINCE CEDRIC
"You've caused enough trouble for one night. This isn't just a harmless prank, Damian. You've put the entire kingdom in a state of chaos."
PRINCESS SERAPHINE
(grinning mischievously)
"Chaos? Oh, come now. We're just showing the kingdom we know how to have fun."
PRINCESS ARABELLA
"Fun is one thing. Undermining the very image of royalty is another. Damian, you're playing a dangerous game."
Damian glances at his companions, their once boisterous confidence beginning to wane as they notice the growing crowd of onlookers, some laughing, others clearly disapproving. For the first time, a hint of uncertainty flickers across his face.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(more serious now)
"Maybe... maybe I took it too far."
PRINCE CEDRIC
(softening his tone)
"Listen, Damian. We can bring change to the kingdom without tearing down everything we've worked for. But it has to be done the right way."
The villains exchange glances. Prince Rafael and Prince Lucius seem to realize the gravity of the situation, while Princess Seraphine shrugs, already over the stunt.
PRINCE RAFAEL
(sighing)
"Alright, Cedric. You've made your point."
The tension eases as Damian finally lowers his head, acknowledging the truth in Cedric's words.
PRINCE DAMIAN
(grinning sheepishly)
"Fine. The no-pants rebellion ends here."
The crowd begins to disperse, many laughing and taking one last picture of the villains in their absurd attire. Cedric places a hand on Damian's shoulder, a gesture of both warning and camaraderie.
PRINCE CEDRIC
"Next time, try something less... dramatic."
PRINCE DAMIAN
(grinning)
"No promises."
EXT. ROYAL PALACE - NIGHT
Later that evening, back at the palace, the villains—now back in full royal attire—stand before King Maximus, awaiting his judgment. The King, stern as ever, eyes them all before finally speaking.
KING MAXIMUS
"You've embarrassed yourselves and the crown tonight. But I believe you've learned your lesson."
Damian nods, humbled by the ordeal, though his mischievous spark remains.
PRINCE DAMIAN
"We'll find a better way next time, Your Majesty."
KING MAXIMUS
"See that you do. The kingdom will not always be so forgiving."
As the episode comes to a close, the camera pans out from the palace, showing the kingdom at peace once more, though the memory of the no-pants subway ride will not be forgotten anytime soon.
FADE OUT.
