'''Underground''' is the twelfth episode of [[Redwall - Season 1|Season 1]] of the Nelvana [[Redwall TV Series]].

===Summary===
During the day, [[Killconey]] explains that [[Matthias]] has embarked on a suicide mission to retrieve the [[Sword of Martin|sword]] of [[Martin the Warrior]]. In [[The Quarry|the lair]] of [[Asmodeus Poisonteeth|Asmodeus]], Matthias, [[Log-a-Log (Redwall)|Log-a-Log]], and the [[Guosim]] get lost in the maze of tunnels. Meanwhile, at [[Cluny the Scourge]]'s camp, [[Queen Warbeak|Warbeak]] spies on the soldiers, and discovers that they have created an army of woodlanders that will be forced to fight for the rat. At [[Redwall Abbey]], [[Sam Squirrel]] tells [[Cornflower Fieldmouse|Cornflower]] that [[The Attic]] is the best way to spot Matthias.

Matthias and Log-a-Log venture further into the caves; Matthias gets angry and hacks and slashes his way out of the tunnels. Outside, Matthias visits [[Squire Julian Gingivere]] and wins his wager with [[Captain Snow]], and Snow promises he will never eat another mouse or shrew ever again. Snow and Gingivere make amends; a shrew tells Matthias the shortcut back to Redwall.

In Redwall's attic, Cornflower and Sam discover Martin the Warrior's armor. They see Cluny and Matthias both marching to Redwall. As Cluny prepares to assault Redwall, he sees the suit of armor, which triggers him to hallucinate and retreat. During a speech, Matthias vows to defeat Cluny once and for all.

===Official Synopsis===
As Matthias is lost deep in Asmodeus' caverns, Cluny digs his way under Redwall, taking advantage of the exhausted Redwallers and the absence of Matthias. After a terrifying river adventure, Matthias returns with the shrews to defend Redwall-- but not before he is almost trapped by Cluny and only just saved by Cornflower. Cluny flees at the sight of Martin the Warrior's "ghost" while Matthias at last gets to wear his hero's armor.

===Differences from ''[[Redwall]]''===
*In ''Redwall'', the way that Matthias and Log-a-Log escaped the tunnels was not mentioned.
*A young shrew promises to show Matthias a cut-off to Redwall Abbey, though the scene (as well as the entire river scenes) does not appear in ''Redwall''.
*The scene of Cornflower discovering Martin's armor in the attic and scaring off Cluny does not appear in ''Redwall''; Martin's armor does not appear in ''Redwall'' at all.
*Silent Sam had a larger role in ''Redwall'', but in the series appeared only in this episode.
*In ''Redwall'', Matthias didn't return to Redwall Abbey until after Cluny had conquered it.

===Trivia===
*The shrew who told Warbeak to "stay and guard the entrance" is strangely absent.
