[Cornelia looks at herself that she is tall]
I know this is gonna sound blind but haven't we met before?
Duh! No big mystery, Bro. This is Cornelia's older sister...
Irma
Lilian.
Hi, I'm Peter. [grabs Taranee] I swore Cornelia had a younger sister.
Gotta jet, but I'll see you around, Lily. [bumps to a lamppost]
[Cornelia changes back and has a happy expression]
Irma
Lovely. Now she changes back. Ok, why is she so cheerful? She nearly blew our cover, her powers are wigged, Caleb's still...
Irma. Let her have her moment.
EEd
Hello, Will. Welcome back.
BBilly
Hi, Will. Glad to see ya!
JJames
Greetings, Ms. Will. If Miss would care for a snack, may I recommend the fresh fruit?
Everything with a current, A.C. or D.C., but I guess only Guardians can hear them.
Cool! It's like having a hundred new friends!
EEd
You forgot to bring me to school again! What if your mother needed to reach you?
Irma
More like a hundred new parents...
Irma, come in here, please.
Irma
Um, okay. Hi, Dad.
Irma, why didn't you tell me no one seen Elyon for months? She's one of your best friends.
Irma
Dad, she's at, uh, just on vacation! Uh, a really long vacation. Uh, scuba-diving in, uh, Bora-Bora.
Irma
Um, Will.
Did she told you anything else? Have you heard from Elyon or her family? Got any postcards?
Irma
[telepathically] Why am I always the one getting interrogated? Can't you pick on Chris instead? Pick on Chris! On Chris!
We'll talk more later. Right now, I need to have a word with Chris.
Irma
[telepathically] Was that? Did I? Can I? [non telepathically] Hey, I'm actually speechless!
Will, these are detectives Medina and McTiennan. They like to ask you a few questions about Elyon Brown and her parents.
We’ve heard you know where they are.
Uh, sure. Everyone does. They’re on a ski trip. In the Alps!
Well, Hay Lin said the Browns are in Australia. Deep in the outback. You can’t even call them.
Irma told me they’re sunbathing in Hawaii.
Irma
Bora-Bora. Definitely Bora-Bora.
Um, could you repeat the question?
Irma
Oh, hi, Dad! I was just... Uh-oh!
"Uh-oh" is right. I know you wanted to protect your friends, Irma, but you don't have to lie to me.
Irma
I'm not lying! Come on, Dad, you're treating me like a criminal for no reason!
You want reasons? You've been acting strange for months, disappearing all the time, and after what that Melinda said...
Irma
Who's Melinda?
Never mind! You need to answer my questions now!
[A geyser of water shoots up from the kitchen sink]
Irma
I'm so glad you're here! My dad...
Started giving you the third degree.
Irma
Yeah. How did you know?
Taranee's suddenly gone "psychic". She can tune into each of our brains and broadcast our thoughts to the rest of us.
[telepathically] I'm my own radio station. [non telepathically] Too bad it only works with you guys.
Irma
And too bad it wasn't working this morning. We could have used it to get our story straight and... Oh no! You didn't broadcast my crush on Andrew Hornby?
Er, no, but you just did.
Forget that! Look what I can do! [turns invisible] I'm like air. No one can see me unless I want them to [reappears] Aagh! [She reappeared in the road and almost got run over by a truck]
Irma
What's with our powers? They're way stronger! Hello, I just made an indoor pool without even trying.
Tell me about it. Mine have been messed up since Kandrakar.
Kandrakar, that's it! Conservation of energy!
Irma
Er, non-brainiac definition, please?
When we were in Kandrakar, the Council lowered the Veil. All the mystic energy that was used to maintain it had to go somewhere. So, it flowed back to the Heart of Kandrakar and each of our aurameres.
So that's why all of a sudden every appliance are my new best friend.
Irma
And why my dad went mind-slave on me yesterday.
And why my powers have gone all freaky.
Yeah! We just thought you were losing it. [turns invisible]
Irma
My dad will be looking for me soon. We need to find out who this "Melinda" is.
I met her. She's a new kid, she seems nice enough.
Then, why is she trying to frame us? [reappears] Oops, sorry!
I don't know how you did it, I don't know why you did it, I don't even know when you did it, but I know what you forgot to do when you got rid of your fake wall.
Excuse me? [McTiennan drops Sammy] Huh? How did you get my calculator?
We've been into the Browns' house. We know you're hiding something.
Uh, yeah, and I'm ready to confess. But, can I get some water?
[Will moves the bag along the table and puts her mobile phone in]
Hey-hey-hey! Not with the bag!
[Will walks to the room, locks the door and opens the window]
[looking down from the window] Good thing I have wings. [Pulls out the Heart] Guardians...uh, me unite!
[Later]
We have to hurry before the cops figure out I'm gone.
Should you guys be here? My mama will be home any minute and she's a judge.
TSTaranee's phone
Don't worry, I got Will's ring at speed-dial.
Is she going to be like that forever?
TSTaranee's phone
Hello, I got Will on line 1.
EEd
Will Vandom, you lost your phone privileges, young lady!
It's an emergency, Ed. Put Sammy on.
Will, be careful! They’re trying to frame you!
A huge, moving sand ‘thing,’ and a girl, Melinda. They kidnapped me and left me for the cops to find.
[gasps] That thing sounds like Sandpit!
And if the new girl's with him...
My allowance says Melinda's Miranda.
Irma
We got to stop them!
[Irma causes a sudden downpour of rain]
Irma
Oops! Stronger powers...I forgot.
Alright, young lady, no more games! Where's Will hiding?!
Or would you rather talk about it in the station?
[Radio call]
OOfficer
Got a call from the Browns' neighbors. Disturbance in the backyard.
Irma
But I have information!
Yeah, we'll catch up on the way.
[As each Guardian talks, they take up one section of the screen, ending with them in three sections]
[With a vast fire behind her] If you can't keep cool...get hot!
A pillar of flame isn't just hot, it's like, Biblical!
[Trapped upside down, caught by Sandpit] A little help, please!
Fire! [She throws a fireball at Sandpit, which causes holes to form] Ughh! Stay still! [The holes close up]
Never mind, I got this. [She turns into a whirlwind, blowing Sandpit away. Taranee and Cornelia land] [Hay Lin laughs] Neat idea, huh?
[Sandpit reforms himself by turning into a whirlwind. The police car pulls up]
Irma
So much for stalling. Oh, I hope Will has enough time. [telepathically] We have to get to the airport. To the airport. The airport!
We have to get to the airport.
Irma
Great minds think alike.
[The Guardians are trapped by a whirlwind of sand, courtesy of Sandpit]
I need air! [She uses her power of air to part the whirlwind]
It's working! Keep going.
[Miranda appears behind Hay Lin and closes Taranee's mouth, before she can warn her]
[Telepathically] Hay Lin, behind you.
[Hay Lin turns invisible, flies up and cuts the web from which Miranda is hanging. As a result, Miranda is flung into the empty swimming pool]
We've still got Sandpit problems.
I see it. [puts her hands on the ground, which causes an earth tremor] Maybe I can trap him underground before...Aagh! [Sandpit rises and is about to attack. Cornelia, triggers her telekinetic powers and levitates a bin to trap Sandpit]
[Cornelia levitates the lid of the bin and places it on the bin and drops it on Miranda with telekinesis]
Quite a victory, Guardians. You can brag about it from your prison cells!
Uh, tell me why we needed to get to the airport?
[seeing Will] Look! It's her!
[Medina, McTiennan, and Tom chase Will]
That's it! You're coming with us!
Do you even know what are you accusing me of?
Uh, she ran away from the hall when we try to arrest her?
Irma
Why, Elyon! Oh, you would not believe how much you've been missed!
I'm so glad you guys came to meet me. Allow me to introduce my cousin Caleb. And my new... puppy?
Uh, Blunk barks! Bark, bark!
Sorry, girls, this is been one huge misunderstanding.
Irma
What did I do now?! Steal the last ice cream bar?!
Guess I deserve that. I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time.
Irma
Oh, it's okay. I've been kinda weird lately. I don't know, maybe, I'm just, um, growing up.
Well, I'm awfully proud of who you're growing up to be.
[Irma hugs Tom]
Okay, so this is Meridian. The Annihilators attacked the farm, the forge, and the market.
Irma
Yeah, but how do we stop them?
Maybe, if we combined our powers...
[Matt grabs a cake and eats it]
Hey, that's Elyon's Palace!
Yeah, figure I eat it before the Annihilators did. These attacks aren't random, they're on a straight line to the Palace. The Annihilators vanish when you go to Meridian and return the second you leave. They're not afraid of you, they just don't exist when you're there. I mean, magic, right?
I can never leave Meridian again!
Make yourself a prisoner in your own kingdom?
If you really want to end this, stay away from Meridian. Trust these guys to finish the job.
Irma
Course you have been at school for hours, so the Annihilators could be attacking the Palace right now.
Do me a favor: take the most destructive dormouse in history.
And, Elyon, you're so much better in folding than I am. With you...
Sure, bare-handed folding, my one talent.
Irma
She didn't mean...
I know. Just kick some Annihilator tail for me, okay?
