[The Guardians have gone through the portal and appear in a purple sky, looking at a purple fortress]
Ok, I am officially impressed!
But, what's with all the purple?
[Yan Lin walks down the entrance of the castle]
It's the Veil. Up close and personal.
[Hay Lin flies over to Yan Lin, then Irma and Taranee join]
Nope. Not my mojo. Was minding my own business back at the Dragon, but when Kandrakar calls...
Wait, wait, wait! Kandrakar exists? I thought it was just a magical brand name.
[The Mage appears through the portal]
Looks like we weren't the only ones invited to the party.
[Blunk, Caleb, Elyon and The Mage stand outside the portal]
The Queen of Meridian and her Honour Guard have arrived.
[Elyon runs over to the Guardians and hugs Yan Lin]
Its ok, Mage. To my friends, I'm always just Elyon.
Brave new world... means brave new stuff!
[Caleb walks over to Cornelia]
[She turns her back to him]
[Two people in white robes walk up]
AAlthor
On behalf of the Council, welcome to Kandrakar. Althor at your service :[gestures to a blonde woman next to him] and my venerated colleague is...
Halinor! [walks up to her, embraces her and laughs] Years have been good to you.
And you are as full of life as ever, Yan Lin.
AAlthor
Come now! The fortress at the Heart of Infinity awaits.
AAlthor
Has the fortress met with your expected standards, young Guardians?
Oh, we're in awe. Definitely in awe!
Wait until you see the aurameres.
[He opens a door which shows spinning orbs of the elements of the Guardians on a purple pedestal]
AAlthor
This is Luba, Keeper of the Auramere Globes, the source of all Guardian magic.
The aurameres transmit Kandrakar's mystic energy across the dimensions to the Heart, and to the Guardians.
[To Cornelia] I wonder which one has your name on it. [She looks away, angrily] Right, whichever one is coldest.
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.
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.
