I sent the others outside for the inevitable arrival of the Guardians, and so that we could share some quality time, my son.
N-N-Nerissa be Caleb's mama?!
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
You must have questions.
Just one, Mom: how do you live with yourself?
By making the universe a better place.
No, seriously.
I'm quite serious. When Meridian was under Phobos's thumb, someone had to take charge. To unite the Meridianites and save their world.
That was me, not you.
And you were created by me, entirely for that purpose. Someone had to have a vision, Caleb. On Meridian, that was you. But I play on a larger stage. Only I had the vision to create a perfect universe. All worlds will be united under my rule. [Cassidy, still controlled, levitates down, slowly] No more war or conflict. No injustice or suffering. If I demand obedience, it is only for the greater good. To create a new order!
Who-Who's that?!
Cassidy. Or rather, her ghost. But soon, she will live again. Even death bows to my will!
Nerissa is Caleb's mother!?
WTWill and Taranee
And I thought my mom had issues!
[to Caleb] Then I will destroy you!
You won't harm our child, Nerissa! If our love could create this magnificent son, there must been some good in you... once.
Then, just this once, I'll let you both go, but cross me again, and there will be no mercy. Now escape.
Gee, Mom. Most kids just get grounded.
[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.
Only Kadma and I remain.
Kadma! Right! And...who's she again.
The former Guardian of Earth. She's on Zamballa, now.
Zamballa! Right! And...where's that again?
[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]
And she stayed there?
[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?
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.
The Zamballans I remember were peaceful and welcoming. Something is very wrong.
Wait! These walking, talking trees are the Zamballans?!
They scamming you Kadma. Nerissa and her knights doing the glamour thing, big time!
Halinor warned us you'd try to poison our minds.
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]
We will try!
[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.
We can fix that. Will.
[Will is flying above Ironwood, she hovers her hand over the pinnicle of the "armour" of Ironwood]
Quintessence.
[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.
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.
Ha! Will Vandom wins! No contest. Only one question remains: will the pool evaporate before Tony Vandom finishes the race?
Hey, I'm not that slow!
Oh, I know. I'm just so fast.
Your times are incredible. You know, I haven't forgotten my little girl dreamed of swimming in the Olympics.
Oh, dreams still there, but right now, I'm just happy to spending some quality time alone with my dad.
Yeah, alone. Uh, see that's what I want to talk to you about.
[seeing Sarina] Dad, it's okay. I know it's not your own personal private pool.
SSarina
Hi.
Uh, you're, uh, early.
SSarina
I am? But we said... never mind. I'll come back later.
No-no-no-no! Just...
Um, what's going on?
I guess I, uh, lost track of time but, uh, Will, this is Sarina Sanchez. She's my friend, uh, girlfriend, fiancee. We're getting married.
SSarina
Hi, Will. I've really been looking forward to meeting the other woman in Tony's life.
[Will dives under the water and gets out on the other side of the pool]
Will, I... I didn't mean to blind-side you, really.
No, it... it's just I have to get going.
O-Okay, we'll all get together soon, uh, right?
Sure, Dad, and it was nice to meet you, too, um...
Sarina.
Sarina, right.
[Walking off with her bag, Sarina notices the Heart of Kandrakar]
SSarina
Will, what a lovely necklace! Is it a family heirloom?
What? That? Uh, I got it from knocking over milk bottles at a fair. Yup, costume, totally fake.
SSarina
Doesn’t mean it’s not precious to you?
[Suspiciously] Right.
Earth Guardian - Approach.
[Cornelia walks over to Kadma]
We will school you to commune with the vegetation of this world. On Earth, we call this green speaking.
Yeah, I can see how purple speaking doesn't have the same ring.
Concentrate, child. Ever plant on this planet will aid our search.
[They close their eyes]
Heart of Zamballa, fuel our power over the land. Help us [the Heart glows as she raises the staff] to hear all our loyal subjects.
How?
Nerissa, there is no place on Zamballa where you can hide from us!
And no way you can beat us. Two Hearts to one. Advantage, good guys!
[The girls have folded back to Earth in the basement of The Silver Dragon, after Will has stated she wants to claim the Heart of Meridian]
We'll return to Zamballa tomorrow.
[sarcastically] Ooh, can't wait.
[starts to walk away] Me neither. No one wants to finish this more than I do.
Then...why'd you rush us home?
Can't say. Me to know only.
[She leaves the basement]
Gee, look who's suddenly ready to rule the universe.
[Will is listening to their conversation]
Yeah! I wonder if going power mad is a Keeper of the Heart automatic.
Hold that thought, babe. Will! Hello, Will! What a surprise, Will!
Yeah, Dad, smooth. Hey, can I talk to Sarina?
SSarina
Hello, Will.
Hi. Look, I think maybe I was blind-sided. Dad marrying a total stranger, but all that matters is you make each other happy, right?
TSTony and Sarina
Right.
And that means you’re not the evil witch I thought you were. Literally!
SSarina
Thanks, I think.
So, welcome to the family!
I think this is the start of something great. Sarina has a lot to offer, Will. And an extra heart caring about you can't hurt either.
An extra heart? Advantage: me.
[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?
Never...gonna...happen.
Oh, well. We'll see.
