So what do I do? I cut the ropes and I swing magnificently right into the open Portal!
Then you skid magnificently across fifty feet of paved road.
[Cornelia tends to his wounds]
[Hay Lin runs in]
Guys! Guys! Guess what? [Notices Caleb] Wow, what happened to you?
Huh, anyway, Elyon got a guy!
Well, it just happened. This guy, Brian, he's a dog walker. They met when a Pomeranian stopped to sniff her ankle. Is that cute, or what?
Nobody ever sniffs my ankle,
Good for Elyon. She's been so unhappy since she dumped Mark.
She dumped a guy, so she's unhappy?
Well, duh, she didn't have a boyfriend.
Well duh yourself. She had a boyfriend until she dumped him. Guess we're a little backwards in Meridian, we only ask people out we actually like.
Will
[Whispering to Taranee] Hahahaha...so, what's taking him so long with Corny?
Blunk! I told you, no more free food.
[Blunk shows Vathek to the girls, and the girls are scared]
Will! [Hay Lin performs martial arts]
Will
[She takes out the Heart of Kandrakar] Woah, Guardians Unite!
No, no, no! Good blue thing.
Will
Oh! Duh, Caleb's friend - Vortoack, right?
So, uh, how've you been? You look, uh...blue.
Oh, he's not here, tell us!
[Caleb appears]
[dryly] Caleb, what a surprise.
[Caleb walks into the kitchen]
Will
Well, we're eating. What's the rush?
The sister of Phobos has been identified.
[The girls gasp in shock]
[The girls gasp in shock again]
[Everyone is outside the "Silver Dragon"]
I don't believe it. I have known Elyon all of my life, she is my best friend.
Phobos' sister, the heir to the Meridian throne, was brought to Earth over twelve years ago.
Elyon was born right here in Heatherfield Memorial.
Will
How does she know that?!
I am not fighting her, I don't care who she is.
Will
We have a job to do.
What? Betraying our friends?
[Referring to Elyon] She's done nothing wrong, but we're following her, like she's some kind of criminal.
Will
You heard what Mrs Lin said, they're going to come for her!
I don't even know if I believe any of this about Elyon.
Will
You're also the one who didn't believe we could fly.
[Later]
Oh, I'm so sorry I disagree with you, Miss Sealer of the Portals.
Will
Look, I like Elyon too...
[Blunk runs to Will, screaming]
Will
Ughh! Blunk, Caleb told you to stay back.
[He points to the Haunted House Ride]
Will
It's a Haunted House. People are supposed to run out screaming.
From fake monster, not real buggy thingy.
You guys, if Elyon's in danger how can we know that and not tell her?
If we tell her that she's the princess of evil city, she'll think we're crazy. Where does that get us?
Will
We can't tell her.
[Cornelia stands up and walks off]
[The girls (excluding Cornelia) are in the canteen. Cornelia walks up to them]
Cornelia, we all feel terrible about Elyon, but...
Will
We thought we were protecting her. We thought Phobos would take longer to find her.
No, you thought that. I am sick of playing follow the leader. My best friend is in the clutches of some creature. Things were going just fine before you came to this school!
It's not all Will's fault!
Whatever! The point is, this protecting the Veil thing is becoming really unfun.
[Irma sighs and stands up]
Cornelia, it's not an after school activity, it's our responsibility to answer the call of duty.
Well, duty can lose my phone number.
What are you talking about?
Cornelia, even friends fight.
We'll all be best friends tomorrow! Pinky swear!
[Hay Lin, Irma and Taranee hold out their pinkies]
The pinky isn't going to fix this one.
Will
Maybe we should have told Elyon the truth.
Yes, we should have. And now I'm going to do something I should have done a long time ago - I quit!
I mean this friendship, I mean the Guardians! Somebody else can fight big lizards and gargoyles for a while. [She storms off]
Will
Hay Lin, sound is carried by air. Can you find the marching band?
[Hay Lin uses her power and sound waves appear all around her]
I hear the horn...and about six really out of tune clarinets.
Will
Haha! Thank you, Radio Hay Lin!
Will
[arriving late] Sorry, guys!
By the way, it's okay to wear that outfit with a watch!
[disgusted] We ran out of gossip. We had to talk about schoolwork.
Will
My mom grounded me. I had to go out the window.
Well, did you leave an Astral Drop of yourself?
Will
No. I want her to think I've run away and been captured by bears!
Can we please transform? I'm cold and sweatshirts make me look fat.
There is a new portal but, uh...[To Cornelia] you're not going to like it.
[Later]
It's about a hundred yards out and about fifty feet down
Well, we'll have to swim it.
Y'know, body in water, legs kicking.
No, I, I, um, I just washed my hair, if it gets wet, it'll get all frizzicky. Alright, I can't swim!
WIWill, Irma, Taranee, Hay Lin
What?!
[Irma uses her power to manipulate the water, shaping it into a large sphere]
[Hay Lin blows a gust of wind at the sphere and it causes it to expand and changes into a bubble]
Will
[To Irma and Hay Lin] Y'know that bubble that got us here, how big [Hay Lin and Irma look at each other] can you make one and how cold?
[Irma and Hay Lin fly down, just as Cedric is about to attack Caleb, a large bubble surrounds him, Hay Lin inhales deeply and blows a big gust of air at the bubble, which surrounds it and freezes it. She then makes a hand gesture to send the snowball flying off with a gust of air]
[The Guardians are boasting about their victory to Phobos and are smiling and waving to him, Irma and Hay Lin are sitting and standing on the pile of guards, respectively, through his seeing portal]
Will
Here are your thugs Phobos!
Now, you may need to give them about thirty minutes on the spin cycle!
Oh, and your big scaly pet should be back about, hmm, sunrise! But I warn you, he doesn't have very good news. Ciao!
[They all fly off]
