Okay, so this is Meridian. The Annihilators attacked the farm, the forge, and the market.
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?
EElyon
I can never leave Meridian again!
Make yourself a prisoner in your own kingdom?
EElyon
What else can I do?!
If you really want to end this, stay away from Meridian. Trust these guys to finish the job.
Course you have been at school for hours, so the Annihilators could be attacking the Palace right now.
EElyon
You have to stop them!
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...
EElyon
Sure, bare-handed folding, my one talent.
EElyon
I know. Just kick some Annihilator tail for me, okay?
It seems my son has lost his appetite without Cornelia.
It's got nothing to do with her! I wish I never met her.
EElyon
Well...I could use my magic to burn her from your memories.
EElyon
Aha! So you do care. And don't lie, I'm royalty.
In Caleb speak that mean a lot.
EElyon
She cares too. Are you really going to give her up without a fight?
EElyon
It's Elyon and Caleb.
You just missed Cornelia and everyone. They went skating without me.
You can really skate in the spring?
EElyon
Earth has its perks. You can bathe outside in winter if you got a hottub.
EElyon
We'll catch up, too, at the rink.
I can’t skate. I’ve tried. I’m a disaster! A face-first, ice-up-your-nose disaster.
EElyon
Uh, well... Earth-girls love a guy who can’t keep his feet. They do!
[leaping in Caleb’s arms and bowling him over] Take me with you!
EElyon
See? They love it.
You come with me, Lilian. You can’t skate on an empty stomach!
Can’t skate on an empty stomach, can’t swim on a full stomach. Who makes up these rules?
What is Caleb doing here?
EElyon
I made him swallow his pride.
Boy, is he about to be full! He won’t be swimming for a year.
[Miranda is trapped in an energy prison]
[in spider form] Well, the gang's all here. [Transforms into human form]
EElyon
Tell us where they've taken Julian and Drake, you traitor!
And Aldarn, don't forget Aldarn.
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.
No-one asked your opinion. I'm ready, my Queen.
[Elyon dissipates the energy prison. Miranda takes Caleb's hand]
See. Isn't it nicer when we all just try to get along.
[In the castle, Trill is serving Elyon, Elborn and Miriadel. She notices the necklace she gave Elyon glint]
EElyon
Trill? What is it?
Never mind. A trick of the light.
EElyon
Tell me more about the jewel. What did it mean to my mother? And what were she and my father really like? Did they...love me?
Queen Weira and the Royal Consort Zadan loved you more than life.
You were the true jewel in their crown.
EElyon
More! I want to know more!
MMiradel
Perhaps...there is a way.
[Elyon, Trill, Elborn and Miriadel are standing outside a large door]
You may meet your parents, your majesty, through memories.
EElyon
I don't have any memories of them.
But Trill does. And in the Old Meditation Chamber, your own power can put you both in a trance.Allowing you to interact with her remembrances.
EElyon
Oh, that would totally ro...ugh. [she notices Elborn and Miriadel, looking sad] Oh, I didn't mean...
[she runs over to them]
It's alright, your majesty.
[Elyon hugs Elborn]
You must go where your heart leads.
EElyon
It will always lead back to you. [Miriadel bends down] You raised me. I love you.
[Elyon hugs Miriadel]
And we love you, child. But it's perfectly natural to be curious about your birth parents. Go!
[In Trill's memory, baby Elyon is crying]
QWQueen Weira
Ugh! The brat never stops crying! Where's Trill?!
[She hands Elyon to Zadan]
ZZadan
I bet you once change it.
QWQueen Weira
I am Queen! You are Consort! NOW!
[Zadan takes baby Elyon and present Elyon gasps, past Trill appears]
QWQueen Weira
Do not make me wait again, Trill! Or you'll force me into another punishment.
No! Your Highness. No! Please!
[Young Phobos appears]
Must I listen to that incessant wailing?
QWQueen Weira
No, my precious pet.
[She hugs him]
QWQueen Weira
Well...take it away!
[Zadan hands baby Elyon to past Trill and she walks off]
QWQueen Weira
She keeps the peasants happy...but you, my son [hands him her jewel] are the true heir to my heart.
[In the palace, Elyon, Elborn and Miriadel are eating. Trill is feeding Blunk and notices the necklace to create folds]
Oh! This trinket is...Queen Elyon what is wrong?
EElyon
How could you all lie to me about my birth parents.
How can you say such a thing?!
EElyon
Weira and Zadan were horrible people. They didn't love me!
Your mother loved you! She gave you that jewel! [notices the jewel sparkle]
EElyon
Take it back! I don't want it!
[She rips the necklace off, throws it, Trill catches it, laughs villainously and transforms into Nerissa. She floats over to the trio, Elyon tries to use her powers, to no avail]
EElyon
My powers! What have you done?
This jewel, a true jewel from Weira's crown, has been draining your power for months. That's why I gave it to you.
EElyon
You lie! The real Trill gave me that. Where is she?
There is no Trill. There never was. I have served you as I served Phobos and the rebellion, in humility, waiting for this day. When the gem pulsed this mornng I knew my time had come. No more need for knights or vengeance. All that remained was to convince you to give it to me willingly. [Her hair raises up] Which is why I fed you false visions of your parents.
[She walks up to her, hands held out and walks into the jewel]
The Heart... of Meridian... is mine!
[She cackles and teletransports away]
I lacked vision! He's the fool with no vision! Destroy everything in his path, no goal, no plan? I would have united worlds. That... is vision!
EElyon
Vision, sure, just no conscience. This is all your fault, you...
Watch your tongue, whelp, or I'll... [Elyon zaps her] How?! I drained your power into the Heart of Meridian!
EElyon
And imprisoned me inside of it, you hateful hag!
I've been teaching Elyon to reabsorb the Heart's power. A power that is rightfully hers alone.
EElyon
I may not be strong enough to free us from my brother's scepter, but I can crush you like a bug!
AYAltermere Yan Lin
Snap out of it, granddaughter!
Excuse me, my granddaughter.
Why can't they come back?!
They've evolved beyond humanity, lost themselves. They can come back. They simply forgotten they should.
