Caleb quotes from W.I.T.C.H.

Cornelia

Oh no! He can't see me like this! [transforms back to normal]

Irma

Here, this will help. [turns Cornelia's clothes to pink] Pink is the new black and white.

Cornelia

Ugh! I'd rather get caught!

Caleb

Ow! Oh, hi. Uh, you look nice.

Cornelia

Hi. Uh, thanks.

[in spider form] Well, the gang's all here. [Transforms into human form]

Tell us where they've taken Julian and Drake, you traitor!

And Aldarn, don't forget Aldarn.

Caleb

You little...

Cornelia

Caleb don't!

That's right Caleb...don't. Not if you ever want to see them again. Here's how it'll go. You release me and I'll leave with Caleb.

Cornelia

No, you can't!

Caleb

No-one asked your opinion. I'm ready, my Queen.

See. Isn't it nicer when we all just try to get along.

Cornelia

Caleb, wait!

Caleb

For you? Not anymore.

Cornelia

I deserve that. But you have to know: When I thought I’d lost you, all I could think about was...

Caleb

That other guy?

Cornelia

No. Caleb, listen. After you made a fool of yourself for me, I decided to break up with him. I swear.

No, Caleb, it’s me!

Caleb

Whoops! Sorry, Will.

No, Caleb, I’m me!

Caleb

[Sits on the ground] Like girls aren’t hard enough to understand when there’s just one of them.

Caleb

The Horn of Warning! Phobos is free!

Good time for Blunk to take that long weekend to the shore! Or just dig hole and never come out.

Caleb

I don't understand. Elyon's gone?!

Captured by a sorceress, hiding in our midst...Trill.

Caleb

You mean she was posing as Trill?

It seems there never was a Trill. People who've known her for years can't recall her history, family, or even where she lives.

Caleb

But she helped the rebellion!

She may have had her own reasons for toppling Phobos or her need to get close to our daughter, to the Queen. She took Elyon and her power. All of it!

Caleb

So we fetch some power players of our own, the Guardians.

No! Stop! Your tooth...did Trill touch it?

It is as I feared, Trill, uh, the sorceress, also touched my ring. She cursed our talismans. Whom so ever touches it to fold, will be destroyed.

Aargh! [He quickly rips the necklace off] Blunk too pretty to be destroyed!

Caleb

Wait! Then how do we get to Earth?

I will try to counteract the spell.

Will

Stop! Sorry! Bathroom break!

All of you?!

Caleb

Working with all that water.

What have you done with the real Mage?

I've been the only Mage for years.

How many years?

[darkly] Change your tone, Julian. [lightly] The Mage was my dear friend. Took me in after a stray portal freed me from my cell on Mount Thanos.

Caleb

Why would The Mage help you ?

She wanted to...save me. Wanted me to see the bigger picture. Which I did...to her regret.

Caleb

Your bigger picture is the dream of every petty tyrant. Phobos was no different. We beat him and we'll beat you, too.

Ha! You'd never have vanquished Phobos without me. Wouldn't you agree, Julian? Or perhaps you both require proof? [to Julian] Remember Magenzian Falls? [pause] Good. Then remember this, also. Numbers don't lie.

Caleb

Dad, what are you looking for? Is The real Mage a prisoner at Magenzian Falls?

[quietly] There.

Caleb

Dad!

Caleb

Enough! What is going on?!

The Mage...

Caleb

You mean she's... there? For how long?

18 years. [Flashback of Julian and "The Mage"] But it was 17 years ago that we fell in love and had a child.

Caleb

Wait, you're saying The Mage was my mother?

No, Caleb, numbers don't lie, and neither did Nerissa. We have never defeated Phobos without her. She and I give the Rebellion nothing less than the rebel leader himself. Nerissa is your mother, Caleb.

You must have questions.

Caleb

Just one, Mom: how do you live with yourself?

By making the universe a better place.

Caleb

No, seriously.

I'm quite serious. When Meridian was under Phobos's thumb, someone had to take charge. To unite the Meridianites and save their world.

Caleb

That was me, not you.

And you were created by me, entirely for that purpose. Someone had to have a vision, Caleb. On Meridian, that was you. But I play on a larger stage. Only I had the vision to create a perfect universe. All worlds will be united under my rule. [Cassidy, still controlled, levitates down, slowly] No more war or conflict. No injustice or suffering. If I demand obedience, it is only for the greater good. To create a new order!

Caleb

Who-Who's that?!

Cassidy. Or rather, her ghost. But soon, she will live again. Even death bows to my will!

[to Caleb] Then I will destroy you!

You won't harm our child, Nerissa! If our love could create this magnificent son, there must been some good in you... once.

Then, just this once, I'll let you both go, but cross me again, and there will be no mercy. Now escape.

Caleb

Gee, Mom. Most kids just get grounded.

Cornelia

[waving aside Taranee's smell] Ugh! What's that scent you're wearing? Eau de Mackerel?

[sniffing] Yum! Brainy Girl smell good!

Caleb

[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.

Only Kadma and I remain.

Irma

Kadma! Right! And...who's she again.

The former Guardian of Earth. She's on Zamballa, now.

Irma

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.

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.

Will

Sounds like our cue. [holds out the Heart of Kandrakar] Guardians Unite!

This is a bad idea.

Caleb

We have no choice, besides Elyon, there's only one other living heir to the Meridian throne. One other person who can take away Nerissa's power.

Will

Prince Phobos!.

Caleb

[referring to Phobos] Meet Sheffield's newest foreign exchange student.

Too foreign! I could whip something up...

[raises hand and glamors himself into a college boy with a black shirt] Am I not down with my bad self?

Irma

[sarcastically] Ho-ho-kay, chillin' with a villain...

Caleb

[throwing softballs at Nerissa] Did I win a prize, Ma?

Baby needs a spanking!
