Scenes with Taranee Cook 91
[Will is on the phone to Cornelia. The two are visible on screen talking to each other, with two halves of the screen sectioned for them. Cornelia is upside down on her bed, brushing her hair.]
...So I can't help decorate.
Oh, please! If you want to attend the ball, you have to help with the prep.
[Hay Lin appears on screen, on the phone with Will and Cornelia]
I spent forever designing the decorations. We can't lose you to a pile of dirty underwear!
[Taranee appears on screen, on the phone to Will, Cornelia and Hay Lin]
TTaranee
Besides, when you're not around, Cornelia gets really bossy. [She puts her glasses on]
Irma brings it out in me.
[Irma is on the phone to Will, Cornelia, Hay Lin and Taranee and is brushing her teeth. She tries to speak, but it just comes out in gurgles]
WCWill, Cornelia, Hay Lin, Taranee
What?!
[Irma spits out the toothpaste]
I said: Stop brushing your hair, Cornelia. You're losing brain cells.
TTaranee
Please, Will! Without you, I can't guarantee any survivors.
[One by one, in reverse chronology everyone hangs up]
[Drops a sticky tape] Ugh, this is impossible. And I have to go home and change. Look at me, I've got [Blushes] sweat stains!
TTaranee
Sweaty over here is right. Maybe we should just forget about the streamers.
We're not forgetting the streamers! They represent the [she holds up a streamer in one hand] strands of memory that connect us to Galgheita no matter where [holds up a balloon in the other hand] the balloons of life takes her.
Ok, that's it! Will, you've got let us use our wings, before Hay Lin's strands are shredded...by me!
She captured Caleb, attacked us at a school dance! She even came after us in our dreams!
TTaranee
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]
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.
TTaranee
[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]
TTaranee
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.
You know what would make this trip perfect?
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!
TTaranee
I wonder why? Look in the mirror sometime. He learned from the best.
[Hay Lin is on the pier, Will joins her]
Sorry. I just had to get away from Cornelia. She won't stop babbling about Caleb.
[Laughs] Yeah. Obsess much?
Ugh, and what a total drag for you. Since you've never had a boyfriend.
Uh...I don't want a boyfriend.
Well, that's lucky. Since you're not exactly likely to get one.
[Will walks off]
[Will walking, alone]
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.
TTaranee
Oh, I can't believe it.
TTaranee
Will! I've read her mind. She brought those things to life...as a prank.
Are you kidding me? My little brother was nearly werewolf chow. If anything had happened to him...
TTaranee
You'd be bummed it wasn't you who did it.
[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]
Or mommy and me museum tour.
[The shot sweeps to Taranee in the mountainous, jungle region]
TTaranee
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...]
[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.
Ah, we only... beat Phobos!
Actually, Hay Lin beat him.
TTaranee
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]
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]
TTaranee
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.
TTaranee
[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!
TTaranee
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.
TTaranee
[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]
TTaranee
[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]
TTaranee
Quintessence has the power to make things come alive.
Kinda like Doctor Frankenstein!
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]
[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]
What's her connection to the Guardians? What's her connection to me?
TTaranee
[about attacking Nerissa] Why isn't this working?
She's got the Heart of Meridian!
Which is equal to the Heart of Kandrakar.
TTaranee
[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.
TTaranee
[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]
The way I stayed away from Matt?
How much would you hate me if I did?
[Lightning appears, circling throughout Will's hair, her hair is raised]
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...
TTaranee
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.
[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.
[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?
Maybe he hates grandparents?
TTaranee
[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]
TTaranee
[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.
TTaranee
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?
TTaranee
You go to dinner with your mom.
Pizza with the Professor, while Shagon's on the prowl? No chance.
TTaranee
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.
TTaranee
Wow! Narcissist much?
Yeah, my mom has signed me up, too. But it would tank less if you guys came.
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]
Looks good! Ready to roll?
TTaranee
[telepathically] W.I.T.C.H., we got a Kandrakar 911!
Uh, but first, we need more water!
To wash your car again. Free second wash! It's a special.
[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?!
TTaranee
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]
Guys. The battle's outside.
[holding the Heart of Kandrakar] Guardians, knock it off and unite!
