[Yan Lin is travelling on Mount Thanos holding a bouquet of roses. She sees a graveyard. She walks up to a grave]
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]
Cassidy[whispering] Nerissa. [not whispering] Wow! You look awful.
Cassidy
So, how long's it been?
Cassidy
You haven't aged a bit. [Flies around her] You've aged many bits. Draining our life force for power are we? Granted, you have the sad disadvantage of having to live in this world, while I...
I apologise for any role I might have played in...your accident.
Cassidy
'"Might" have played? That's like me saying I might have missed curfew on prom night. [She laughs] Oh, oh, but were I just was, we don't hold grudges. Now, if you'll send me back?
Cassidy, I didn't raise you simply to apologise. We were Guardians together. I...feel a responsibility to show you all that you have been missing.
Cassidy
Really, Nerissa, that's not...
Oh, but I insist. And since I've bound you to the Earth Plane with the Heart of Meridian, we will stick to the plan. [softly] For your own good.
Cassidy
A field trip you can't get out of, that's good for you? Wow, even the afterlife's like high school.
[Nerissa has teletransported herself and Cassidy to Shell Beach]
Cassidy
Shell Beach! My favourite spot! Oh, what a perfectly lovely, and [She flies through Nerissa] totally transparent gesture. [She flies down to the water]
You shouldn't look a gift beach in the mouth. [She flies down] Don't you miss this?
Cassidy
Oh, sure. I'd love to feel the sand between my toes. Breath in the [she walks on the water] salt air and [Nerissa joins her] swim and swim and swim. [She stands still] Maybe even kiss a lifeguard or two.
All that is possible. If you say you want to live.
Cassidy
This may surprise you, Rissy, but I've sort of let go of the whole material world thing. Besides, [she turns to face Nerissa] I know you. There's got to be strings. I've hung onto my soul this long, I'm not selling it now.
[Nerissa has teletransported herself and Cassidy to Heatherfield General Hospital, the Children's Ward]
Heatherfield General Hospital, the Children's Ward. Ah, I recall you dreamt of being a paediatrician.
Cassidy
Yeah, and I once dreamt of eating a marshmallow the size of Jupiter. So, where's my giant sticky treat?
[A child coughs, Cassidy places her hand on his face and rubs his hair]
It's a shame you can't help these poor children. Comfort them. You have so much compassion for every living thing.
Cassidy
Except I'm not a living thing.
Aww, but you could be again. [darkly] Simply by admitting you want it.
Cassidy
I don't. Life people are so catty.
[Nerissa teletransports herself and Cassidy away]
[Nerissa has teletransported herself and Cassidy to outside a house, where a woman is tending to her garden]
Cassidy
Come on Rissy, give it up! We've toured Heatherfield up, down and sideways! It's not gonna happen! So send me home!
If home is where the heart is. [she points to the woman]
[The woman - Emily Chacon, Cassidy's mother notices Nerissa]
ECEmily Chacon
Hello? Is someone there?
Cassidy
[emotional] Mom?
It's Nerissa, Emily. I didn't mean to startle you. Oh, the garden looks lovely today.
EEmily
Thank you, Nerissa. And don't apologise, dear. You know Cassidy's old friends are always welcome here.
Thank you, Emily. Ah, that locket, is there a picture inside?
EEmily
Oh, my! Your memories are worse than mine. I've shown you this before. [She opens the locket]
[The picture is revealed to be Cassidy, Emily looks at the picture]
EEmily
It's Cassidy, of course.
[Cassidy flies over to join them]
Cassidy
Oh, mom.
EEmily
Now you wait here. I'll get us some lemonade.
[She turns around and starts to walk off, and Cassidy reaches out and touches her arm]
She misses you terribly, Cassidy.
Cassidy
Oh, I'd give anything. Anything!
There's nothing to give. Just show some mercy to your mother. [She holds out the Heart of Meridian, which emanates dark purple swirls, as Cassidy appears in a lilac aura] Just say the words. Say you want to live!
Cassidy
I want...to live!
[The Heart is emiting green waves] Compassion is a powerful thing. Especially when it fuels desire. The desire for something you cannot, should not have is the chink in the armour of your soul and all I need to make you mine!
[Cassidy opens her eyes, which reveal that she is being mind controlled]
You will live again...very soon!
[She teletransports herself and Cassidy to a mountainside where the Knights of Destruction are]
Once your service to me...is complete.
[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]
Cassidy
Water!
[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]
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!
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!
Cassidy
And we'll help!
