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]
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]
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!
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]
Never doubted it for a minute.
EEric
Well, maybe you and your grandmother and me and my gramps, can, all of us could, sometime...
[Yan Lin appears]
Why not now? We can double date. Your grandpa...he's a real hottie.
ZZacharius
Oh, goodness! My girlfriend's beast, isn't she?
YLYan Lin, Hay Lin
Girlfriend?!
[Yan Lin hugs Zacharius]
Mmmm, like the sound of that! The girlfriend part, [A swishing sound is heard] not so much the beast.
[Zacharius is frozen]
[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]
[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]
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?
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]
Don't you have eardrums to shatter?
[laughs] Don't tell me. Stage fright.
No. I mean I'm done slaving for Nerissa. But she's not done with me. Will, [he walks up to her] I need your protection. If I bring you [he puts his hands on her shoulders] to the real Matt, will you help?
I've stashed him somewhere safe. But the other Knights are searching.
I'll... [sighs] unite the Guardians.
[gasps in contempt] And while you scare them up, the Knights will hunt Matt down! You want him back...or not?
EEric
[After hearing Uriah and the Dunsters (awfully) play their song "Feel the Beat"] Do you know any song? Any song at all?
EEric
Ok, that's...something.
[hysterical] That's nothing! We're gonna totally punk ourselves! But don't worry, I'm a genius at trouble and Kurt's been making trouble since he was six.
EEmber
Ok, Flame Girl. Let's see just how much heat you can take! [She fires a firebeam at Taranee but she creates a fire shield around herself]
More than your boyfriend!
[The firebeam passes from Taranee's fire shield through to Tridart, hitting him]
EEmber
He is not my boyfriend!
[To all the controlled Old Guardians] Finally, the gang's all here and I think we earned a little power trick. Courtesy of our dear Knights of Destruction. [She creates a fold] [Later, After creating a fold in the doorway to the roof, it allows her to watch and she sees Will unconscious on the ground] Perhaps the Knights have earned a few more minutes to work their magic before I work mine.
Game, set, match, Shagon. So Shagoff!
[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]
[To Martin, regarding the Battle of the Bands contest] You know for once, it looks the battle goes to the good guys.
[Elsewhere, in the volcanic area where C.H.Y.K.N are, it is revealed that Nerissa and the former guardians are restored to youth]
The battle has only just begun!
Nerissa’s going shopping? Oh, big mistake! She’s on my turf now!
[in a costume] Would someone explain how that man could look at me and think camel?!
