Episode Title:
Guardian of the Tomb.
Episode Description:
After being captured by Sneeroff Pinocchio briefly reunites with his father when he catches up with the caravan they were traveling with, only to be separated again by a sand storm. Pinocchio wakes up half way up a pyramid and climbs inside where he finds Sneeroff who has him accompany him into the treasure-filled tomb where they are captured by the tomb's guardians. While the guardians lock up Sneeroff for attempting to rob the tomb they let Pinocchio stay in the pyramid as a playmate for their son, Kron, who tells Pinocchio of how he and his parents are aliens who guard the tomb of the Pharoh to repay the hospitality he showed them when their ship crash landed on Earth and how he wishes to see the world outside. Pinocchio reluctantly agrees to help Kron sneak out and explore when he sees how miserable he is and Kron frees Sneeroff to be their guide, ignoring Pinocchio's warning that not all humans can be trusted. Once they're outside Sneeroff has a caravan of traveling merchants capture Kron and holds him hostage in exchange for the treasure. Though Kron's Mother offers her necklace in exchange for her son, his father refuses to go back on his promise and instead tries to fight off the humans; during the fight Pinocchio attempts to free Kron, while Kron's parents begin to grow to a massive size out of rage which Kron explains will likely kill them. When his parents are knocked out Kron decides to help them fight, however his parents use the last of their energy against the humans and die, leaving only Sneeroff who Kron allows to escape; explaining he'll tell others what happened and nobody will try to rob the tomb again, which he'll now protect to honor his parents' sacrifice. After bidding farewell to Kron Pinocchio once again begins to search for his father and walks until he reaches the jungle, where he meets a lion.
