SummaryEdit

Official SynopsisEdit

In the pit of the Kingdom of Malkariss, Matthias fights off Slagar who escapes to daylight as Matthias joins his battling friends-- now reinforced by the released slaves. As Matthias joyfully embraces Mattimeo, an earthquake shakes the ground, the terrible Polecat's statue topples and with it the kingdom of Malkariss starts to collapse-- with the slaves and rescuers still inside and Slagar outside and free.

At Redwall, Ironbeak penetrates the barricade which protects the Redwallers and takes them hostage. He attacks Sister May which enrages huge Stryk who fights an aerial duel with Ironbeak-- as Constance breaks free and attacks the birds from behind. Ironbeak's army quickly surrenders and Redwall is saved!

And the kingdom of Malkariss is doomed-- but not before Matthias and Orlando are safely ejected from the earthquake, only to face Slagar, the cause of their grief and loss. Fleeing from their ferocious attack, he falls into the depths of the collapsing underground city-- and is no more.

The victorious warriors return to Redwall to joyous greetings. The bells ring out as Matthias embraces Cornflower and Mattimeo and announces, "Father Abbot, we have come home."

Redwall is once more at peace.

Differences from MattimeoEdit

When Stryk Redkite attacks General Ironbeak, Ironbeak's rooks suppress her before she breaks free and kills him. In the book, she killed him directly without any interruption.
