Scenes with Yan Lin 40
Oracle, we are honored to...
[passionately embracing the Oracle (another man to who Will thought was the Oracle)] My dear Oracle!
YLYan Lin
That's Tibor. Cute one is the Oracle.
I remain your humble servant.
And yet, somewhat more affectionate than I recall. But I share your enthusiasm. We have all waited years for this day.
Isn't WHAT exciting?! I mean, I'm sorry, when can someone tell us what is going on?
Now. Tibor, if you please.
[Tibor uses his powers to create a purple viewing globe, which visually depicts The Oracle's speech ]
Since time immemorial, it has been the Council's task to protect the Infinite Dimensions. But thirteen years ago, Prince Phobos came to power. The threat he posed was so grave, we were forced to quarantine Meridian from the other worlds, to prevent the spread of his evil. And so, the Veil was raised. But now, Phobos has been defeated and a new day is about to dawn!
[The Council use their combined powers to create a ball of blue energy, which shoots up into the sky and turns Kandrakar blue]
It is done. The Veil has been lowered. May the need for it never rise again
[To Elyon] What are the Guardians of the Veil, if there's no Veil, to guard?
[Later]
[To Yan Lin and The Mage] You would both be valuable additions to the Council.
YLYan Lin
I'm very flattered, Oracle, but also very retired.
I do accept this honour, but on Meridian, I am also tasked with keeping Phobos in his cage. The minion Miranda has already escaped.
Miranda escaped?! Why am I only hearing about this now?! Never mind, I have to go! I have to get her.
I sense disharmony on Meridian, but your powers, unchecked, my young Queen, presents an equal danger. We have much to meditate upon, before you can return to your kingdom.
Your Highness, I will capture Miranda, no matter what it takes.
What it takes is teamwork.
[Cornelia looks away, angrily]
[shocked] Who? Us?! But I thought...
You are now the Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions!
Does that come with a raise?
Um, just one teensy-weensy glitch. When the Veil went poof, didn't all the portals poof with it?
The Veil's passing opens up the old ways of traversing dimensions. Mage?
[The Mage uses her ring to shoot a blue beam of energy, to create a fold in space, through which they can see other dimensions (currently, Meridian)]
Will, what I do with my Mage Ring, you will learn to do with the Heart.
And what they do with talismans, you may accomplish, simply as part of your birthright.
This, child, is a fold in space.
[The Guardians go through the fold, appearing in the now smoking Meridian.]
[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]
YLYan Lin
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]
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]
YLYan Lin
That moo goo gai pan ain't gonna fold to Elm Street.
Wow! What else don't I know about you, grandma?
YLYan Lin
Oh, lots of things. So many things. [She laughs]
[Yan Lin creates two small spheres from her hand]
YLYan Lin
Folding is for [she gestures from one sphere to the other] crossing between worlds.
[She makes the sphere on her right hand side disappear]
YLYan Lin
Teletransporting is for the fast break within a world.
And any Guardian can do it?
YLYan Lin
Sure! With a decade of practice. Otherwise, you materialise inside solid rock, or glacier or mud wrestling match. Ugh! I was grubby for weeks!
Fine, fine! But you know how! You can get the guys.
YLYan Lin
I'm not hooked into an auramere. Teletransporting drains my life force.
Oh! Blunk can only fold somewhere he's been before. He can get Irma, but...Wait! I'm hooked into an auramere, borrow life force from me. Enough to get Cornelia and Taranee.
[Yan Lin nods, they hold hands and a blue light appears from Hay Lin and transfers to Yan Lin. Hay Lin faints and Blunk catches her]
[quietly, croaky] Ugh, I'm fine. You go. You too, Blunk. I'll try Will again. As soon as I catch my breath.
[Blunk creates a fold and goes through, Yan Lin teletransports. Hay Lin sits down and sighs]
[After all the girls have gathered together]
YLYan Lin
Whew! [sits down] Note to self: Next time, pinch more life force.
[Will and Hay Lin nod to each other]
Ah, we only... beat Phobos!
Actually, Hay Lin beat him.
Where's that coming from?
YLYan Lin
Is this about a boy?
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-
YLYan Lin
And you gathered them here.
YLYan Lin
You think needing help is bad? Working together you find true power, in others and in yourself.
YLYan Lin
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?!
YLYan Lin
Don't look at me.
[Hay Lin shrugs]
YLYan Lin
It's worse. That hag is Nerissa.
OHThe Oracle, Halinor, Althor
[shocked] No!
You are absolutely certain?
[Yan Lin nods]
Okay, see I didn't bring my who's who from Kandrakar, so Nerissa is...?
As you know, you are not the first Guardians. Decades ago there were five others. Cassidy, Halinor, Yan Lin, Kadma... and Nerissa.
They were C.H.Y.K.N.? Wow, I'm so glad we're W.I.T.C.H.
[voiceover] [as the camera pans across W.I.T.C.H, the scene transitions to one showing the former Guardians] Nerissa led the Guardians as Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar, as you do Will. But I sensed [Nerissa holds up the Heart and sees it glow through a shot of her eye] the power of the Heart was corrupting Nerissa. To save her soul, [The Heart is shown floating and given to Cassidy] I took the Heart from her and gave it to Cassidy. [Nerissa, shocked, walks away] But Nerissa became obsessed with her lost power. [Nerissa and Cassidy are atop Mount Thanos] After begging and pleading, she demanded Cassidy return the Heart. Cassidy refused.
[Nerissa casts a lightning bolt at the cliff, and Cassidy falls to her death, Nerissa is shocked by her actions]
[voiceover] [Nerissa runs across the cold of the mountain] Devastated, Nerissa fled. [An energy cell appears around Nerissa in a cave inside Mount Thanos] But I imprisoned her. [scene shows Yan Lin, The Oracle and Halinor standing outside her cell] Hoping that she would redeem herself [Nerissa lifts her head up] by facing her guilt. I fear [Nerissa's youthful face changes into the old Nerissa] I may have aired.
[The scene transitions to present day, in Kandrakar]
When Phobos' reign on Meridian forced us to raise the Veil, we could no longer watch over her.
YLYan Lin
She must have escaped, and gone into hiding.
On Meridian. Perhaps a portal opened on Mount Thanos, allowing her escape.
Nerissa is a greater threat now, than she was then. Every world has a source of mystic energy, like the Heart of Kandrakar. Elyon was the Heart of Meridian. With her power, Nerissa's might equals the five of yours...combined.
Right! Cause otherwise, way too easy.
At least, she doesn't know we're on to her. If we head to Meridian now, we can still take her down.
[about attacking Nerissa] Why isn't this working?
She's got the Heart of Meridian!
Which is equal to the Heart of Kandrakar.
[panicking] So we're tied?
YLYan Lin, Halinor
Nerissa!
Stay out of this, old fools!
Or you'll destroy us, like you destroyed Cassidy?
YLYan Lin
Does her memory mean so little to you?
You've no idea what she meant to me! This is not over! [She teletransports]
YLYan Lin
[sighs] That's what I was afraid of.
[Yan Lin is travelling on Mount Thanos holding a bouquet of roses. She sees a graveyard. She walks up to a grave]
YLYan Lin
It has been too long, Cassidy, my dear friend. [She puts the roses onto the grave] I promise to see you again soon.
[She teletransports away]
[voice] Perhaps sooner than you think.
[The two gravestones on either side of Cassidy's grave transforms into Nerissa and Shagon]
[Shagon picks up the bouquet and hugs it]
I have business I must attend, and the Guardians must not interfere.
I'll drive them to distraction! Will, especially. [Picks the flowers] She hates me, she hates me not. She hates me, she hates me not. Who am I kidding? She really, really hates me. [He rips the flowers in half from the stem]
[Nerissa uses the Heart to teletransport Shagon away and unleashes lightning on Cassidy's grave]
[A blast of air comes out from the grave and the ghost of Cassidy rises]
[whispering] Nerissa. [not whispering] Wow! You look awful.
[Yan Lin is outside the Silver Dragon, tying up a rubbish bag]
YLYan Lin
I wish you a safe journey to your final destination.
[She throws the rubbish into the large bin/tip]
YLYan Lin
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]
YLYan Lin
[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?
[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.
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?
[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.
YLYan Lin
Only Kadma and I remain.
Kadma! Right! And...who's she again.
YLYan Lin
The former Guardian of Earth. She's on Zamballa, now.
Zamballa! Right! And...where's that again?
YLYan Lin
[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]
YLYan Lin
[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!
[The Guardians, Yan Lin, Caleb and Blunk have arrived at Zamballa]
So...Zamballa. Who knew there were this many shades of purple.
Wasn't it night back home?
YLYan Lin
Twelve hour time difference. You can get a real case of foldlag.
[The Zamballans have just hibernated after seeing the Guardians]
First they attack us! Now, they...ok I don't know what they just did. But those are some freaky trees.
YLYan Lin
The Zamballans I remember were peaceful and welcoming. Something is very wrong.
Wait! These walking, talking trees are the Zamballans?!
YLYan Lin
They scamming you Kadma. Nerissa and her knights doing the glamour thing, big time!
Halinor warned us you'd try to poison our minds.
YLYan Lin
Halinor's under Nerissa's thrall, you ninny!
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.
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.
YLYan Lin
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.
[Nerissa has teletransported Yan Lin into her old cell in Mount Thanos, and walks up to it with the still controlled Halinor, Kadma and Cassidy]
Finally! All my old friends together again. The Original Guardians Reunited. What do you say, Yan Lin? Ready to join our...world tour?
YLYan Lin
Never...gonna...happen.
