Scenes with Will Vandom 161
[Later]
Did you forget you promised to get this laundry done?
Will
Hmm, I don't know. Did you forget you promised to stop seeing my teacher?!
Will
Dating? Fine. Dating my teacher? Gross, but also fine. Lying to me about it while lecturing me on responsibility? Priceless!
[Will storms off and slams the bedroom door]
Will
She captured Caleb, attacked us at a school dance! She even came after us in our dreams!
We're pretty sure she's pulling the strings of the Knights, too.
But we don't have a clue who the old hag is! Uh, No offence, Mage.
[gives a drawing of Nerissa to the Mage]
Her image is unfamiliar to the Council of Kandrakar.
If only my powers were at full strength. But I am unable to divine her identity or purpose. Though, I do sense something else troubles our Guardians.
[Taranee, Will, Irma and Cornelia look at each other. Hay Lin is invisible]
Will
Well, there's that new lightning thing and I've started bringing electrical appliances to life.
[Hay Lin reappears]
Not to mention invisibility.
[Raises her hand] Telekinesis.
[Raises her hand] Mmmm, telepathy.
Y'know, normal teen stuff.
What you're experiencing is normal...for Guardians. You are progressing as expected.
And I am pleased you work so well together. Even in your dreams. Harmony is essential for the Heart of Kandrakar to be effective.
Oh, we're all about the harmony, Oracle.
[Taranee puts her arms around Hay Lin and Irma - Irma giggles]
In fact we're going to spend a whole week together.
Chilling at Cormoran Beach, thanks to my mom and dad.
[All the Guardians put their arms around each other and smile]
Then by all means, enjoy your sojourn. You have earned it.
[Later, in the car, on the way to the beach]
[leaping out of a car] Ohh...Finally air unpolluted by girl-breath.
I so wouldn't bring up breath, little brother...yours smelt steel.
Irma! Chris! I refuse to listen to you bicker for an entire week.
TLTom Lair
Then I hope you brought earplugs.
Irma. Why is Will yelling at the toaster? And why did she name it?
Will
I don't care if you don't like raisins, Judy. [She shakes the toaster] Just give me my toast!
You know what would make this trip perfect?
Will
Seven more bathrooms?
Oh, please! You and Caleb can't go five minutes without fighting. If you actually spent time together, you'd be vacationing in Dumpsville.
[Irma is in the water, and someone sinisterly grabs her - it's Chris]
Chris, you're such a brat!
I wonder why? Look in the mirror sometime. He learned from the best.
[Hay Lin is on the pier, Will joins her]
Will
Sorry. I just had to get away from Cornelia. She won't stop babbling about Caleb.
[Laughs] Yeah. Obsess much?
Will
Ugh, and what a total drag for you. Since you've never had a boyfriend.
Uh...I don't want a boyfriend.
Will
Well, that's lucky. Since you're not exactly likely to get one.
[Will walks off]
[Will walking, alone]
Will
Who knew sowing the seeds of discontent would be such...[She transforms into Nerissa]
...Child's play?! A glamour here, a glamour there, and they're mine for the picking. But enough about me. Your turn Sandpit.
[Hay Lin is at the Silver Dragon, balancing piles dirty plates, as she walks over to the counter, to put them there. Yan Lin enters]
Delivery order! Thirty minutes or less. Time to pedal that metal.
[Hay Lin sighs. Next she is outside the Silver Dragon and is gets out her phone to speak to the girls.
[The shot shows all the girls on their phones in a grid format, with Hay Lin in the middle. Will is in a museum with a life size elephant, Irma is at Cormoran Beach, Taranee seems to be in a mountainous and jungle like region, maybe South America and Cornelia is in Paris]
WIWill, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia
Finally!
[The shot is now just Hay Lin as the girls' shots get pulled away]
Do not complain. You're all on vacation. I'm a summertime slave.
[The shot sweeps over to Irma at Cormoran beach]
Better than beach boring.
[The shot sweeps to Will in the museum]
Will
Or mommy and me museum tour.
[The shot sweeps to Taranee in the mountainous, jungle region]
Or mosquito mountain. [She slaps a mosquito that has landed on her arm] Ow!
[The shot sweeps back to Hay Lin, smelling her apron]
Ugh! I smell like egg-fu-yung.
[The shot sweeps to Cornelia in Paris]
I smell like O'de Fabulous. I have daddy's platinum and the caviar is awesome, and we're getting seaweed wraps tomorrow! The only thing missing is...
[Will and Taranee enter the shot in triangular angles and all say at the same time...]
Will
Matt.
[A heartbeat is heard over the shot]
Boys?! You're in four kinds of paradise and all you can think about is your next date?
Hay Lin, some day soon, you'll be thinking about your first date.
No way! Not me! Never! I...
[Yan Lin takes the phone off her and hangs up]
That moo goo gai pan ain't gonna fold to Elm Street.
[After all the girls have gathered together]
Whew! [sits down] Note to self: Next time, pinch more life force.
[Will and Hay Lin nod to each other]
Will
Guardians Unite!
And now for the family reunion.
Will
After reunion we have in mind. I'm thinking we'll reunite you with your cell.
Ah, we only... beat Phobos!
Will
Actually, Hay Lin beat him.
Will
What?
Where's that coming from?
What? No! Well actually... I did see this realy cute- The point is, this was the first time it was up to me. Everyone was spread out and-
And you gathered them here.
You think needing help is bad? Working together you find true power, in others and in yourself.
You are a jewel, grandaughter. In the rough perhaps, but a jewel all the same, and someday I won't be the only one to see. [They hug. Cornelia and Will high-five each other. Irma and Taranee hug]
Hi. Hate to spoil the greeting card moment, but, how do we all get back?!
[Hay Lin shrugs]
[Will. Irma, Cornelia and Hay Lin are in the basement of the Silver Dragon. Cornelia is sitting on a chair, Irma - lying on her back, with her head over the bed, Will is sitting on the bed, with her back rested on the wall, as is Hay Lin, who is writing in a notebook]
Will
Is anyone else worried that we haven't heard from Elyon or Caleb in, I don't know, weeks?!
[yawns] Not really. Caleb knew I was travelling and Meridian is definitely a roaming charge.
Besides, we've kicked enough bad guy booty to earn our vacation.
But vacation's over! School starts tomorrow.
[They all sigh. Taranee enters holding a laptop]
Hey, guys. Isn't it great? I thought summer would never end. And, in honour of school, I have completed my first assignment.
Oh, can I hurt her? Please.
[typing] Welcome to Taranee's handy dandy guide to... [The Four Dragons and the nymph, which is the dragons of the Guardians' powers appears on the screen] ...Quintessece.
[They all crowd round the screen]
Quintessence?! That's the word that hag used to attack us!
But, what does it have to do with the legend of the Four Dragons? That's about our powers!
Right! Each of the dragons controlled one of the four ancient elements. :[She points to each dragon, as she says the elements that they control] Earth. Air. Fire. Water. [She points to the nymph, in the middle of the screen] But the nymph, Xin Jing, had a power too.
Oh, an X Factor, like Cafeteria Mystery Meal.
[Typing and saying aloud each syllable as she types it] Quin-tessence. The fifth element.
[The scene changes to one of Nerissa standing atop a hill in Meridian, under a red sky]
[voiceover] The Ancient Sages described it as exactly [shot of Nerissa summoning Quintessence from lightning] like electricity. They believed it could be found in lightning, but [Nerissa shoots a lightning bolt at the ground] they also called it "the stuff of life", like bio-electricity. [Farm men charge at Nerissa.] [Back to the girls]
Quintessence has the power to make things come alive.
Kinda like Doctor Frankenstein!
Will
Kinda like me. Throwing lightning bolts, talking toasters. My powers sound exactly like Quintessence.
The fifth Guardian gets the fifth element. Makes sense.
[Scene changes to Nerissa standing atop the hill, laughing and casting lightning bolts at the farm men]
Will
[voiceover] What doesn't make sense is that the sorceress [Nerissa holds up the Heart of Meridian and it emits a shock wave which makes the farm men's tools attack them] has the same powers. Only hers are the extra strong version.
[Scene shifts back to the girls, and as the camera zooms out, we can see Yan Lin listening to the conversation]
Will
What's her connection to the Guardians? What's her connection to me?
Will
So the hag has Elyon.
It's worse. That hag is Nerissa.
OHThe Oracle, Halinor, Althor
[shocked] No!
You are absolutely certain?
[Yan Lin nods]
Okay, see I didn't bring my who's who from Kandrakar, so Nerissa is...?
As you know, you are not the first Guardians. Decades ago there were five others. Cassidy, Halinor, Yan Lin, Kadma... and Nerissa.
They were C.H.Y.K.N.? Wow, I'm so glad we're W.I.T.C.H.
[voiceover] [as the camera pans across W.I.T.C.H, the scene transitions to one showing the former Guardians] Nerissa led the Guardians as Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar, as you do Will. But I sensed [Nerissa holds up the Heart and sees it glow through a shot of her eye] the power of the Heart was corrupting Nerissa. To save her soul, [The Heart is shown floating and given to Cassidy] I took the Heart from her and gave it to Cassidy. [Nerissa, shocked, walks away] But Nerissa became obsessed with her lost power. [Nerissa and Cassidy are atop Mount Thanos] After begging and pleading, she demanded Cassidy return the Heart. Cassidy refused.
[Nerissa casts a lightning bolt at the cliff, and Cassidy falls to her death, Nerissa is shocked by her actions]
[voiceover] [Nerissa runs across the cold of the mountain] Devastated, Nerissa fled. [An energy cell appears around Nerissa in a cave inside Mount Thanos] But I imprisoned her. [scene shows Yan Lin, The Oracle and Halinor standing outside her cell] Hoping that she would redeem herself [Nerissa lifts her head up] by facing her guilt. I fear [Nerissa's youthful face changes into the old Nerissa] I may have aired.
[The scene transitions to present day, in Kandrakar]
When Phobos' reign on Meridian forced us to raise the Veil, we could no longer watch over her.
She must have escaped, and gone into hiding.
On Meridian. Perhaps a portal opened on Mount Thanos, allowing her escape.
Nerissa is a greater threat now, than she was then. Every world has a source of mystic energy, like the Heart of Kandrakar. Elyon was the Heart of Meridian. With her power, Nerissa's might equals the five of yours...combined.
Right! Cause otherwise, way too easy.
Will
At least, she doesn't know we're on to her. If we head to Meridian now, we can still take her down.
Will
Why don't you pick on someone with your own power?
[She animates bricks which fly like a missile to Will, she flies, as they chase her]
Will
Oh, I had to ask!
[about attacking Nerissa] Why isn't this working?
She's got the Heart of Meridian!
Will
Which is equal to the Heart of Kandrakar.
[panicking] So we're tied?
YLYan Lin, Halinor
Nerissa!
Stay out of this, old fools!
Or you'll destroy us, like you destroyed Cassidy?
Does her memory mean so little to you?
You've no idea what she meant to me! This is not over! [She teletransports]
[sighs] That's what I was afraid of.
[Matt in his room, Mr Huggles on his shoulders]
Hungry again? Mr Huggles, you're a dormouse of a dormoose? [In french accent] Would Monsieur care to try ze Mouse Munchies? Zey are ze specialty of ze house. I'll tell le Chèf you approve.
[Knock on the window. Matt sees Will and climbs out]
Hi. I was just thinking about thinking about you.
[Mr Huggles freaks and Matt tries to catch him]
Mr Huggles, what is your damage? [To Will] I don't know why he's freaking out like this.. Sorry.
Will
No apologies necessary, [Transforms into Nerissa] dear heart.
[Shocked, holding Mr Huggles] Nerissa!
[Nerissa steps in, holds out the Heart of Meridian and all of them teletransport away, leaving Matt's hat on the ground]
[To Tridart] Back off glacier face! [She charges up a fireball but Kor grabs her arm. In his eyes, we see Taranee's anger and argument with her mother. He starts to fight Taranee]
Watch it, hairball! [She telekinetically moves metal hinges to strike Kor, but Shagon intercepts and destroys them. Will appears in front of Cornelia]
Will
Stay away from her!
The way I stayed away from Matt?
Will
Matt!? Did you hurt him?
How much would you hate me if I did?
[Lightning appears, circling throughout Will's hair, her hair is raised]
Will
You're about to find out! [She hurls a lightning bolt at him. He absorbs it]
Y'know those Knights of Whatever totally fed on our drama! Icicle Boy called you desperate, which you are, over Eric.
Lava Chick was gloating about Irma being in pain, which she is, over Martin. And Taranee...
I can't be fuzzy, if I'm mad at my mom?
Just try to keep it in check. You especially, Will. Dark Angel wanted you hating him.
Will
[shaking her fists] Then he knew his stuff. Hey, since when are you Miss Intuitive?
Perspective. I'm the only one not starring in a soap opera.
WHWill, Hay Lin
This week.
