[Yan Lin is outside the Silver Dragon, tying up a rubbish bag]
I wish you a safe journey to your final destination.
[She throws the rubbish into the large bin/tip]
Or as the kids say, "Smell you later".
[Shagon flies past her and she uses her powers as a light source and Shagon starts to charge up his green energy beam. Cut to Hay Lin's bedroom, Yan Lin teletransports]
[out of breath] Small problem. I nearly got taken out with the trash.
[Later, the girls and Yan Lin are in the basement of the Silver Dragon]
I had a feeling it was Shagon, but why attack Mr Olsen?
HLHay Lin
Maybe he hates grandparents?
[Flames appear in her glasses] Not just grandparents.
[Scene changes to at night, Peter Cook is playing basketball, he throws the ball and Shagon destroys it. Shagon is seen standing on a building and flies away]
[voiceover] I'm pretty sure he went after my brother last night too.
[Scene changes to at night, car headlights are seen on the road]
[voiceover] Join the club.
[Anna Lair is driving, behind her, Shagon's charged up green beam eyes are seen and he flies over the car. The car skids. In the now, lowering car window, Shagon is seen flying into the moonlight]
[voiceover] My mom said a giant bird nearly ran her off the road!
[voiceover] It gets worse.
[Scene changes to Lillian Hale, in bed. She gets woken up - Shagon is levitating outside her bedroom window. Lillian screams. Scene goes back to the basement]
Lillian got a real good look at Shagon - described him to the last feather! Luckily, my parents convinced her it was a nightmare.
HLHay Lin
He is a nightmare.
Going after our families.
Even Phobos didn't sink that low.
We all do. But that's like exactly what he wants.
I know! I know! Hatred fuels his power, but he'll be back tonight. So, what do we do?
You go to dinner with your mom.
Pizza with the Professor, while Shagon's on the prowl? No chance.
Even if your mom's his next target?
I cannot believe you signed us up for the car wash! Without even asking!
Come on, it's for a good cause - Me.
Yeah, my mom has signed me up, too. But it would tank less if you guys came.
HLHay Lin
We can have a water fight!
[sarcastically] Oh, yeah! There's something I never do!
[She summons water and shoots it at the screen, which transitions to the next scene]
[In the now ruined fortress of Kandrakar, the girls have been forced to take off their shoes. Cornelia steps on some rubble]
Ow! What is this: Attack-Cornelia-Day?!
I know it’s a shock, but not every world revolves around you.
What's that supposed to mean?
We're teammates, not servants.
[An explosion is heard]
HLHay Lin
Guys. The battle's outside.
[holding the Heart of Kandrakar] Guardians, knock it off and unite!
HLHay Lin
We have to get back to Cornelia!
Huh, good luck. I'm not even sure my mom is bothering to blink.
[The camera zooms in on Will's bare feet, wet from standing in a puddle of water.]
[seeing Will barefoot] Will, where are your shoes?
[Principal Knickerbocker is punishing the girls for being gone by making them clean the school bus]
Wait! It's my fault. I flaked and they were just covering. But I'm ready to do my own work now. Please, don't punish them because of me.
Then, I suppose the others may go.
[Cornelia starts to clean the bus, but Hay Lin sprays it with a hose, Taranee cleans it, and Irma and Will join]
Hey, we're teammates not deserters.
[smiles] Hey, um, has anyone seen my shoes?
[waving aside Taranee's smell] Ugh! What's that scent you're wearing? Eau de Mackerel?
[sniffing] Yum! Brainy Girl smell good!
[clears throat] Look, I should have put this together sooner, but when I was with Nerissa, she had Cassidy and Halinor under her thrall. It looks like her new game plan is collecting former Guardians.
Kadma! Right! And...who's she again.
The former Guardian of Earth. She's on Zamballa, now.
Zamballa! Right! And...where's that again?
[voiceover] [Scene changes to a flashback of Kadma, Yan Lin and Halinor on Zamballa - a purple jungle world] Zamballa - the purple planet. An other dimensional jungle world. Back in the day, we saved the Zamballans from an attack by Phobos. Kadma led the charge and the locals were so grateful, they offered her The Heart of Zamballa and made her their Queen.
[Flashback ends]
HLHay Lin
And she stayed there?
[she nods] Had to. Once the Council raised the Veil. Haven't seen her since. But Kadma must be warned. She could be Nerissa's next target.
Sounds like our cue. [holds out the Heart of Kandrakar] Guardians Unite!
They scamming you Kadma. Nerissa and her knights doing the glamour thing, big time!
Halinor warned us you'd try to poison our minds.
Halinor's under Nerissa's thrall, you ninny!
HLHay Lin
She won't listen, Grandma! My turn!
[Hay Lin unleashes gusts of air at Kadma]
So, Yan Lin, this is your granddaughter. Pity you couldn't have been a better role model.
[The Guardians are trying to save Ironwood from hibernation]
Your friends will not succeed.
You underestimate them. Hay Lin! Let the healing begin.
HLHay Lin
First, [she forms a gust of air in her hands my rolling them over each other repeatedly] a cool breeze to let her know the fire's past. [she unleashes the gust of air]
[Irma a downpour of rain]
[softly] Then a gentle rain, y'know for that whole, replenished thing.
[To Kadma] Ok, your turn. And if you get lost...follow Cornelia's lead.
The jungle is healed. But we cannot awaken Ironwood.
Well, maybe not we alone! But if you work together [She takes Cornelia and Kadma's hands and joins them together]
BBitterroot
Please, my Queen.
[Kadma tightens her grasp of Cornelia's hand]
[She closes her eyes]
Open your mind. Listen to the natural children of the land. Listen for the voice of Ironwood.
[Cornelia can hear Ironwood whispering. She opens her eyes]
It worked! I heard something.
[quietly] Yes! Yes! But her voice is so faint. Her life force so faint.
[Will is flying above Ironwood, she hovers her hand over the pinnicle of the "armour" of Ironwood]
[She sends a lightning bolt down Ironwood and the "armour" comes down. Everyone protects themselves by hiding in a tree]
It is done! We have brought Ironwood back and soon, we can free Bowbreaker and the others. [she walks off]
A thank you wouldn't hurt. If it was up to her majesty Ironwood would still be in a tree coma and the rest of us would be in cages. But do we get an apology? No, we don't.
That is Kadma's protective armour. She always had a problem owning up to her mistakes. If she doesn't admit to them, she can pretend they never happened.
[The girls have folded back to Earth in the basement of The Silver Dragon, after Will has stated she wants to claim the Heart of Meridian]
We'll return to Zamballa tomorrow.
[sarcastically] Ooh, can't wait.
[starts to walk away] Me neither. No one wants to finish this more than I do.
HLHay Lin
Then...why'd you rush us home?
Can't say. Me to know only.
[She leaves the basement]
Gee, look who's suddenly ready to rule the universe.
[Will is listening to their conversation]
Yeah! I wonder if going power mad is a Keeper of the Heart automatic.
[sighs] DON'T YOU EVER GIVE UP?!
[She fires a lightning bolt from the Seal of Nerissa at Hay Lin, but the Guardians fly out of the way. Hay Lin flies back down]
HLHay Lin
I took relentless lessons from you!
[Nerissa continues to fire at her and Hay Lin carries on dodging. The other Guardians fire their powers against Nerissa and the Old Guardians. Hay Lin unleashes a whirlwind at the rock wall of the cell, freeing Yan Lin. Blunk goes to her]
[Hay Lin walks over]
Never doubted it for a minute.
ZZacharius
Oh, goodness! My girlfriend's beast, isn't she?
YLYan Lin, Hay Lin
Girlfriend?!
[Yan Lin hugs Zacharius]
Mmmm, like the sound of that! The girlfriend part, [A swishing sound is heard] not so much the beast.
[Zacharius is frozen]
[She waves her hand in front of his face] Zacharius?
[She looks over and Hay Lin and Eric are frozen]
You won't like the sound of this.
[She walks over to Yan Lin]
You are not the real Yan Lin. You are... an altermere.
[Yan Lin wakes up in her bedroom]
[voice] A dream come true.
[Nerissa walks out from the shadows]
You are an altermere. A living duplicate. Created on Mount Thanos.
[Flashback, all the Old Guardians are there]
You seem to be incorruptible. And I am running out of time. So, let's see if I can't find a suitable replacement. [She uses the Seal to unleash lightning bolts, which trap Yan Lin within it]
We'll just hide you away. And create someone more... [She creates an altermere in the cell] accommodating.
[voiceover] The Guardians [The scene plays out as per the previous episode - she fires a lightning bolt at the Guardians who fly out of the way] rescued you as I planned. Only you aren't you.
[Flashback ends]
Nothing, now. [She walks back into the shadows] Enjoy her life. Have a moo shoo. But reveal who you are to anyone and I will absorb you back into the Seal... and oblivion!
