- (PANTING)
- (ALL PANTING AND GRUNTING)
- Whoa!
- (GASPS)
- Crystal Slucium!
- They're getting away!
- Not for long...
- (GRUNTS)
- (EXCLAIMING)
- (BOTH GRUNT)
- BOTH: Truncolus!
- AURIANA: Crystarmum! Iris, look out! Talia!
- (GASPS)
- By The Power Of Izira!
- (ALL GASPING)
- (BOTH EXCLAIMING)
- Whoa!
- Whoa. High volume much?
- Ow. My ears!
- This is worse than the night we opened for that speed metal band!
- That was amazing, Talia!
- I've never seen anything so bright and glittery and, wow, I really can't hear a single thing right now...
- That was close. Too close.
- Luckily for us, like always, you were there.
- But what was that, Talia? Was it a new spell?
- Uh... Nothing. It was nothing. We should rehearse.
- We have a show this weekend.
- Hmm. Is it just me,or is Talia acting a little weird? I mean, you saw that, right, Auriana? Auriana?
- (LOUDLY) Are you talking to me right now? Your lips are moving but no words are coming out of your mouth!
- (SIGHS)
- (NEIGHING)
- (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
- One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, turn and clap.
- (SHOUTING) Auriana, how are your ears? Are they any better?
- They were. Until you started yelling right into them. Oh! What if...
- Auriana, your what ifs make me nervous.
- I know, I know. But my mind just keeps going back to that spell.
- "By The Power Of Izira." I've never heard of it.
- And what was that you pulled out of your pocket, some kind of crystal charm?
- Ooh, jewellery! And it's a secret, isn't it?
- Maybe a secret present from a secret admirer.
- Ah. Give it a rest, girls.
- It's just something I've been fooling around with, that's all.
- But that is clearly some very powerful magic.
- There must be some reason you've never mentioned it to us before.
- I was going to tell you about the medallion. It's just… I'm not sure I can control it. I shouldn't even have the thing.
- That's why it's so important to keep it a secret!
- Why shouldn't you have it, Talia?
- Where did that medallion come from?
- It came from her secret boyfriend!
- And how do you know you can't control it?
- (YELLS) Because it isn't mine!
- Huh?
- (SOBBING)
- The medallion isn't mine. (GASPS) It's gone!
- It must have fallen out of your hand when you cast that spell!
- If it got caught up in that same blast wave that hit Mephisto and Praxina...
- (GASPS) The mountain!
- I don't want to start pointing fingers and playing the blame game here, but to make a long story short, I did everything right and perfectly and Mephisto is responsible for everything that went wrong.
- Hey!
- I see. And what about the Truncolus spell I gave you to destroy Princess Iris? Was it not powerful enough?
- It was. But, as you know, it was a two-person spell. And a chain is really only as strong (SOFTLY) as its weakest link.
- Plus, Talia used this thing to cast some humongo spell that blasted us!
- (GROWLS)
- Get rid of it.
- Uh...
- Your darkening darkness... Sir?
- Listen very carefully.
- You two are to take that medallion and destroy it at once.
- Of course.
- We'll do it after we…
- No!
- (RUMBLING)
- Destroy it right now! Do you understand? If you don't want to feel my dark wrath, you'll destroy that thing!
- That was weird.
- He took one look at this thing and it was almost like...
- PRAXINA: Like he was scared.
- We should definitely destroy it, shouldn't we?
- (HESITANTLY) Yes...
- Exactly how powerful do you think it is?
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
- (BOTH LAUGHING)
- (THUNDER RUMBLING)
- Talia, talk to us, why is that medallion so important?
- She's just worried that her super-secret millionaire boyfriend will be mad that she lost his present.
- (YELLING) I don't have a secret boyfriend!
- (GASPS)
- I don't have a kingdom! I don't have a family! It's gone! It's all gone! And it's all my fault!(SOBBING) I've lost everything!
- But you have us, silly.
- Oh...
- The medallion belonged to my sister.
- Your sister?
- You've never told us anything about your family.
- To be honest, I always imagined that you were raised by a pack of wolves, or maybe by a robot, one of those one…
- (CLEARS THROAT)
- Ooh. Sorry. Anyway, your sister...
- She was the good one. The strong one. Responsible one.
- That's hard to believe.
- You're the strongest and most responsible person I know.
- I try. If you only could have seen her.
- If you could have seen me back then...
- IZIRA: Talia!
- (GASPS)
- What are you doing?
- Um... Nothing?
- You were sneaking out to the Crystalline Light festival, weren't you?
- Maybe.
- You know how dangerous it is to go out! All the remaining realms of Ephedia will be joining to defend against Gramorr soon, and...
- Ugh! Don't throw a tanty!
- I am not throwing a tanty... A tantrum.
- I am telling you what you need to hear.
- If Gramorr takes over…
- La-la-la-la.
- Boring talk! Boring talk that's no fun! La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
- Talia, listen to me.
- You're not a little kid anymore. You can't just pretend everything is fine.
- I can try.
- You have to train harder, Talia. You have to be ready to fight. Our kingdom, our people… They're counting on us to protect them.
- No, they're counting on you. You're the powerful one. You're the smart one. You're the natural leader. They don't need me. They need you.
- And what if something happens to me? What if I can't be there?
- (SIGHS) Trust me, you're always going to be there.
- Oh. (CHUCKLES)
- Every time I mess up, you're there. I can't even sneak out tonight without you being right there to catch me.
- (SIGHS)
- So the Crystalline Lights Festival, huh?
- It's only once a year! Come on, Izira. I'll start getting serious about all that stuff tomorrow. I promise.
- You promise?
- With my heart's truth.
- Mmm-hmm.
- (GASPS)
- IZIRA: Here.
- But... But this is your magic medallion!
- I want you to take it with you tonight. You can give it back to me tomorrow. That's when we start your very serious new training.
- Deal?
- Deal!
- Thanks, big sis!
- (GASPS)
- (GIGGLES)
- (GASPS)
- (ALL EXCLAIMING)
- (GRUNTS)
- (GASPS)
- (LAUGHS)
- (HUMMING)
- Huh?
- (GASPING) Oh, no!
- No...
- Mother? Father?
- Izira? (GASPS)
- GRAMORR: Well, Banes,the royal family of Xeris were easier to vanquish than I had expected.
- I had heard that Izira's magic was extremely powerful.
- (GROWLING)
- (SNIFFING)
- Her reputation was obviously exaggerated.
- (SNIFFING)
- (SNARLS)
- (MUFFLED WHIMPERING)
- (SQUEAKING)
- GRAMORR: Banes.
- (CRYING)
- TALIA: That day, everything changed.
- I vowed to change my ways. I became disciplined and focused, and volunteered to come find you, Iris, to defeat Gramorr.
- The medallion was your sister's magical gem, to help her transform?
- Yes. Without it, her power was greatly weakened. It was why my family was defeated by Gramorr.
- What happened to them?
- I don't know. They could be anywhere. The medallion is the only thing I had that could have led me to them.
- Then we've got to get it back!
- I'm moved that you care so much, but...
- Talia, we care because we're you're family, too.
- Yeah, I have 32 sisters, but I like you a lot more than any of them! They borrow my clothes and they stretch them way out.
- Thank you.
- So, how about we cast a spell to find that medallion?
- I think this calls for a little Cristalocatum!
- Why would a piece of jewelry scare the Grand Wizard of Chaos?
- MEPHISTO: Because it's not a piece of jewelry.
- It flattened us when Talia said those words.
- Did you hear the words she spoke?
- MEPHISTO: Uh, it was something like, "By the power of Ezra."
- (GASPS) Izira! Her sister's name!
- This belongs to her!
- Maybe we could use it to defeat the princesses.
- IRIS: Or, you could give it back...
- Huh?
- ...and not get a crystal smack down.
- No? Suit yourself.
- Iris, princess of Ephedia!
- AURIANA: Auriana, princess of Volta!
- TALIA: Talia, princess of Xeris!
- ALL: Together fighting harm with crystal charm!
- (BOTH GASP)
- Looking for this, Talia?
- (GROANS)
- Wand Of Xeris!
- Crystal Scala.
- If you like having fingers, you will give that back to me.
- Ooh, a threat!
- What's so special about this?
- Sentimental value?
- Give it back!
- Missed me.
- It's working!
- Keep taunting her!
- Why don't you taunt her?
- IRIS: Crystal Capto!
- (GRUNTS)
- Looking for this?
- Oopsie.
- They can't get that medallion back.
- Gramorr will be furious we didn't destroy it!
- Crystarmum!
- You guys are totally weaker!
- What happened to your other, way better powers?
- Yeah, that was kind of a one-time spell, and when...
- Quiet, fool! This isn't a social hour!
- I know that.
- But sometimes a little distraction works.
- MEPHISTO: Gotcha!
- (GASPS)
- Ow!
- Prax!
- (GASPS)
- No!
- No!
- Too bad, it was really pretty.
- Uh, you know, for a girl. (CHUCKLES)
- (BOTH LAUGHING)
- Talia, the twins are getting away!
- Let them go. (SOBBING)
- Huh?
- Hey, Tal, I'm ready to learn the most complicated spell you know! Sounds good?
- (SIGHS)
- We brought you smoothies! Extra gooseberry!
- I'll never have another smoothie.
- (BOTH GASP)
- Never is a really long time.
- Like I once said I'd never wear blue frost lip gloss and then I never did!
- Bad example.
- Girls, please stop trying to cheer me up.
- I've lost the only link to my family.
- All the Earth books I consulted say I need to grieve.
- Okay. But you'll miss my surprise.
- Huh?
- It's a gem from Izira's medallion!
- Where did you get it?
- Yeah, I guess I should have shown you before.
- Amaru found it on the ground.
- Could we use it to track the twins?
- Brilliant, Iris!
- Since they were the last ones to touch the medallion, we can use this to track them.
- I'm up for that.
- Oh! Me too!
- Hmm.
- ALL: Crystalocum Ostendere!
- That doesn't look like it's around here.
- TALIA: (GASPS) It's Ephedia!
- IRIS: Ephedia?
- The twins couldn't have gone back there.
- TALIA: The gem isn't showing us the location of the twins. It's showing us the location of my sister!
- That's amazing! But how?
- Strong feelings act like a magnet.
- The spell searched for the person Talia wanted to find the most!
- Concentrate!
- Whoo! I'm getting dizzy.
- Me too.
- Just hang on.
- Izira!
- (GASPS) Who's there?
- Izira, it's me, your sister!
- Talia! I've been so worried, where are you?
- Everything's spinning.
- I don't think I can hang on much longer.
- Izira, I'm coming to save you!
- (ALL PANTING)
- Sorry, Talia.
- Don't be. Now I know my sister is still alive!
- The medallion has been destroyed, master.
- Burned up like a Metzorian fire worm! Whoosh!
- Good work.
- Is that the first time he's ever said "good work" to us?
- Hmm, I think it might be.
- Who cares.
- You still have it, right?
- Yes. You never know.
- It might come in handy someday.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
- Talia, are you sure you want to perform?
- (GIGGLES) My heart is filled with joy! I want to sing! I want to dance! I want to leap through fields of Zenbordian flowers!
- Don't worry. This is only temporary.
- Tomorrow, I'll go back to being serious, for everyone's sake.
- Well, in that case, I know just the song! Ready?
