Cornelia
I'm sorry! I don't know what went wrong with my powers.
It wasn't your powers! It was your head! As in the thing that wasn't in the game!
Cornelia
Excuse me?
Well, you were a bit hyper about showing up a certain someone!
Showing up or showing off?
[Cornelia freezes and dramatically turns around and storms up to him]
Cornelia
Oh, like I need to show you anything! My powers are... amped up! Whatever I tried came out huge!
Enough! You can hate each other all you want, but learn to work together.
[Cornelia cannot use her powers against Sandpit]
Cornelia, what are you doing? Attack!
Cornelia
My powers betrayed me!
No, they're spectacular. Show me what they can do!
Cornelia
I'll show you spectacular!
[Cornelia flies upside down and creates a vast stem, which rises, higher and higher, catching and throwing Miranda away. Caleb throws his sword away and Cornelia unleashes the roots of the plant to divide the Knights and catches the sword. A red/pink flower bud appears at the top of the plant and Cornelia wraps a stem around the sword, finishing it with a opened rose. The main plant's bud also blooms into a rose. The Knights escape]
Cornelia
Thanks! Sorry the Knights got away.
No fear. Their days on Meridian are numbered.
Cornelia
Ughh! Meridian! Everything always has to be about Meridian with you.
Well, everything always has to be about you with you!
Ok, great! Here we go again.
[Holding the now glowing Heart of Kandrakar] Oh, no we don't! Cornelia says goodbye!
Cornelia
Now what?!
[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...
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
Uh, sure.
[Cornelia changes back and has a happy expression]
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.
So then, Alchemy tells me the police are looking for Elyon.
Cornelia
Good thing you were sent to the principal or we wouldn't know.
The principal? What you do?
I didn't do anything, Sammy did.
Cornelia
Wild!
Is it artificially intelligent?
More like stunningly intelligent.
Hold on! Hold on! You can actually hear him?
Cornelia
Well, duh!
Duh nothing! No one else can! They just hear me freaking out at him!
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!
Cornelia
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.
Bora-Bora. Definitely Bora-Bora.
Um, could you repeat the question?
I'm so glad you're here! My dad...
Cornelia
Started giving you the third degree.
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.
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]
What's with our powers? They're way stronger! Hello, I just made an indoor pool without even trying.
Cornelia
Tell me about it. Mine have been messed up since Kandrakar.
Kandrakar, that's it! Conservation of energy!
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.
And why my dad went mind-slave on me yesterday.
Cornelia
And why my powers have gone all freaky.
Yeah! We just thought you were losing it. [turns invisible]
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!
[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!
Cornelia
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]
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.
[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]
Cornelia
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.
Cornelia
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
Thanks, Hay Lin.
Cornelia
I have new powers, too!
[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!
So then, I convinced Alborn and Miriadel, I mean, the Browns, that I need to finish the school year. I'll be commuting from Meridian every day!
So will I. I'm enrolling to make sure Elyon stays safe.
Cornelia
But won't classes be boring for the queen of the castle?
Give me schoolbooks over sewage projects any day.
Elyon! You're back! [She runs over to Elyon and they hug] Oh, I was so worried about you!
I'm sorry, Alchemy, my trip lasted longer than I thought, but you should hear my travel stories.
Cornelia
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.
I know. Just kick some Annihilator tail for me, okay?
Oh, I love working for your mother. We've be lost here without her.
Luck thing she's not going anywhere then!
[telepathically] Alright, everybody, we need to split up and find hiding places.
AAll
[telepathically] Right!
Cornelia
Um, excuse me! Hi! Where's the ladies' room?
It's down the hall but...
Cornelia
Thanks!
Oh, right! I have to go, too. Thanks for reminding me.
I don't know if you should be wandering alone.
Um, Amanda, I'm doing a report on powerful women in the workplace. Could I interview you?
Oh, absolutely. You exude it.
Come on, Cornelia! We're just trying to cheer you up.
Cornelia
I don't need cheering up. Go away!
I'll show you my latest power. It's all about the clothes.
[Cornelia comes out and Irma changes her clothes to pink]
Cornelia
You can change the color of your outfit? And still be so last season! Everyone knows black and white is the new pink.
I’m last season? Hello! It’s 76º out, and you’re wearing wool.
Cornelia
How many times do I have to tell you? It’s better to look good than feel good.
She's just dressed warm 'cause she's going skating!
Cornelia
What?! Lilian, I am not!
You are! You said so to that boy on the phone!
Cornelia
You are so not going with me!
Does he have any brothers?
Cornelia
None of your business, children! Now, get out!
[The communicator buzzes]
Cornelia
I'll be right down!
Sure. I'll be right here.
Cornelia
Don't follow me
[She goes into the elevator]
Cornelia
Safe!
[Cornelia transforms to her tall self and Will, Irma, Taranee, and Hay Lin open the elevator]
Cornelia
Not safe. [covers her head]
You transformed without the Heart?!
Cornelia
Not exactly transformed.
When did you learn to do that?
Cornelia
Since Kandrakar! But...
Cornelia
I don't have Guardian powers.
Cornelia
I don't suppose you'd stay in the elevator with your backs turn? I didn't think so.
WIWill, Irma, Taranee, Hay Lin
"Lillian"?!
[noticing Taranee] Oh, hi, sis.
Hey, Peter! We were just wondering how long have you and [uses air quotes] "Lillian" been dating?
A few weeks. You were there when we met, at the park.
Cornelia
Wow! Memories, huh? Ok, we better go before all the good ice is taken.
