Turning invisible was once effortless. It never drained you like this. Wouldn't you like that power again? In endless supply?
[Yan Lin holds her hand up and shakes her head and hand]
YLYan Lin
I've got a different request - you sit in this cell and let me gloat a while.
[Nerissa has used Quintessence to transform Yan Lin to her youthful Guardian self]
Join me. And I will give you back your youth. [whispered strongly] Your beauty.
[Yan Lin stands up]
YLYan Lin
Youth overrated and I'm still one hot old broad.
[Nerissa transforms her back]
[sighs] You try my patience, old friend! [quieter] Know that I will let nothing stand in my way. Including your precious granddaughter. [louder] Hay Lin's only hope is for you to join the Old Guardians!
YLYan Lin
Eh! Old Guardians are so over. My money's on the New ones.
[Nerissa gives a frustrated groan, walks away from the cell then walks back]
You seem to be incorruptible and I'm running out of time.
[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]
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]
YLYan Lin
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]
YLYan Lin
Mmmm, like the sound of that! The girlfriend part, [A swishing sound is heard] not so much the beast.
[Zacharius is frozen]
YLYan Lin
[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]
YLYan Lin
Oh! Just a dream
[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]
YLYan Lin
What do you want?
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!
Make your choice, altermere! Oblivion or existence?
YLYan Lin
You seem to have created a flawed copy, Nerissa. I do not have Yan Lin's strength of character. I love her granddaughter. I may even love Zacharius. [sighs] I cannot give up this life. I choose...existence.
That is all I need to make you mine.
[She creates a fold, which envelopes the altermere Yan Lin]
[After defeating Shagon, psychically, Matt has taken over Shagon's body and has fired his green energy beam at Ember]
You pulled me back, Will. Saved me from myself. [To Kor, regarding Cornelia] Let her go, Huggles.
[Kor drops Cornelia]
[Kor tackles Tridart whose ice beam breaks, freeing Taranee]
EEmber
The battle is not over!
It is over. Time for the Knights' power to serve a higher goal. GUARDIANS...UNITE!
[Ember and Tridart are being destroyed - their powers being sucked through the fold]
[Ember's and Tridart's power are transfered to Halinor and Kadma first, in a white beam form. Halinor and Kadma are levitated, surrounded in a white energy fire]
TTridart
Mistress! Please!
[His powers are transferred to Cassidy and Yan Lin in a white beam form. Cassidy and Yan Lin]
[Shagon and Kor are also being drained of their power]
[Nerissa is enveloped in a white energy and all of the powers transfer to her in a white form energy]
[The four beams of light that show Cassidy, Halior, Yan Lin and Kadma, are shown and they levitate towards Nerissa. The fold disappears]
[An invisible Hay Lin pushes Yan Lin to the ground]
YLYan Lin
Grandma, stop! You're Guardians, a force of good!
[Her eyes become normal for a moment] We're guardians.
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!
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!
And imprisoned me inside of it, you hateful hag!
YLYan Lin
I've been teaching Elyon to reabsorb the Heart's power. A power that is rightfully hers alone.
I may not be strong enough to free us from my brother's scepter, but I can crush you like a bug!
YLYan Lin
Yap, yap, yap. All night long. Phobos out there. Us stuck in here.
YYYoung Yan Lin
And not likely to save anyone unless we act in harmony.
YLYan Lin
You're stepping on my lines, kid.
YYYoung Yan Lin
Because we're in harmony.
AYAltermere Yan Lin
Snap out of it, granddaughter!
YLYan Lin
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.
