The Sparticle Project The Sparticle Mystery

My father's Henry Barker, the physicist.

The machine went a bit wrong.

Sparticle Project is in Grandad's mine?

Luminite magnifies energy, light, heat, sound, the lot.

You must travel to the Sparticle Project and bring the adults back.

Destination...Yorkshire Moors.

We've got Prof Barker's voice on Dictaphone. This should get you in.

You need me to get the Dictaphone!

-What's so special about it?

-Special friendship.

-I don't trust this new Callum.

-I saw a ghost girl, she was see-through.

We're getting near to Black Tor Mine.

Whoa! Sadiq!

The moles must be on steroids here.

-What are you doing, Reese?

-Protecting myself.

Luminite sends me funny.

And there's probably enough luminite in the Black Tor Mine to kill me.

(Stop smiling, Holly. It's not good.)

-How did she see that?

-See what?

Didn't you hear Reese say, "Stop smiling, Holly"?

I warned you to stay out of my head.

That's it. The Black Tor Mine!

-We're at the Sparticle Project!

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

You know realigning the world and bringing back the adults

means the end of the Quest and the end of the Sparticles.

I can't get my head round everything going back to how it was before.

Me neither. One thing's for sure...

I'm going to be a horticulturist.

Oh. That's great.

When are we getting to the Sparticle Project?

Never at this rate, we're lost.

It's a road trap.

These mole hills have been deliberately spiked.

Hey, that's luminite!

We must be close to the Black Tor Mine!

The cart's wrecked.

You make your way by horse and I'll go on ahead.

-Kat needs this Dictaphone or it's the end of the Quest.

-Hang on!

-But which way?

-Follow the luminite!

Come on, let's take a look.

You go on Sadiq, I'll lock up.

You sure this is the Sparticle Project?

It's the Black Tor Mine, so yeah.

I can't believe we've finally made it.

And that was total rubbish about the voice activated door!

I've seen higher tech doors on a phone box.

This is pretty weird.

Just as well we don't need Callum!

Cos I...

-don't see him.

-He'll be here.

Doubt it.

Me and you.

We do all the hard stuff!

-But since when can moles dig through concrete?

-Luminite.

Where's Reese?

Probably run away as per usual.

This thing's locked, Sadiq.

Press the bell.

BELL RINGS

Yes?

Er. Is this the Sparticle Project?

No. You must have the wrong address.

Whoa. Not so fast.

-Let us in.

-No-one enters without the permission of our Tribe Leader.

Megan of the Mystic Moles. I'm Mungo Mole.

Listen...Mole.

-Take me to Mr Toad.

-You're clearly not Believers.

Moles!

Get a load of this lot!

DOOR UNLOCKS

Oh, no!

Holly!

Great Quetzacoatl!

In your mystical armour as has been foretold, come to slay the Minotaur!

-Look, it's Quetzacoatl!

-At last, we shall be free of the Minotaur.

-Right, Holly.

-Excuse me, but a Minotaur?

A man-eating bull-headed monster.

-Yeah, I know what it is. But it's not real.

-Yes, it is.

And it lives deep in our mine.

Come with us, our saviours. Come on.

Er, Sadiq,

I'm just going to wait for Callum. Just in case.

Give it up, Kat.

We're in, aren't we?

I know you locked me in the van, Holly. But you won't stop the Quest.

Wow. This is jam-packed with luminite.

Are you all right, Reese?

As long as I wear this armour I'm safe from luminite.

Our Leader, The Very Mystical Megan Mole.

Quetzacoatl. As foretold in your Scriptures.

He has come to slay the Minotaur and allow us through the Silver Door.

Silver door?

That's the voice-activated door.

Yeah, but without the Dictaphone, we're stuck.

I come in peace.

Shiny, shiny!

I don't believe this.

Have you seen this minotaur?

No. But it consumed all our parents.

Megan Mole has explained everything.

No-one has made it alive through the Red Labyrinth

to the Minotaur's Lair, let alone through the Silver Door.

Come on.

If you are Quetzacoatl you'll know the code of the Aztec Warriors.

Sparticle Project.

That is not correct.

But I can hear the particle beam going round the Collider.

I can hear the Sparticle Project. It's behind you.

And I'm rather more interested in what is behind you.

An imposter! Incapacitate them!

All those who disobey will be used as offerings.

To the Minotaur.

I was expecting something a bit more... spartacular.

Where are the Questers?

That won't be loud enough.

It will if I use the luminite to boost the sound.

Hello? Is anybody there?

Hello? Is anybody there?

It's the minotaur!

Stop!

Stop!

It's the Minotaur!

It can't be.

It is! Kat!

My bro? Jordan.

Driving everyone crackers!

C'mon. C'mon then.

THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE

OK, Sparticles! Tribe Sparticles, shut it!

-Be quiet!

-We're all here for same reason.

And that's so we can bring back our parents.

So...

Callum, have you the key to the door, the Dictaphone?

Gave my word.

After all that let's just hope it works!

I can't bear the luminite.

OK, Reese, so let's get out of this mine and into the Sparticle Project.

Come on, this way.

Please work.

'To the Sparticle Project to prepare for the switching on. Henry Barker.'

BEEPING

It's not working.

Give it time. It's thinking.

Who has a conversation with a door? Just play the name bit, come on!

Holly's right.

Rewind it.

'Henry Barker.'

Welcome, Professor Barker

and may the Photons be with you.

Dad's little idea of a joke.

Like a Particle Collider in a mine full of energy magnifying luminite?

That's funny.

There goes trouble.

Quick. The door's closing!

We're in!

We're in the Sparticle Project.

Yee-hah!

When you press a button or switch something on

it starts off a chain of events.

That's what scientists did. Here!

I'm scared.

Focus on something straight ahead of you, it's better.

And that way it's not scary.

Everybody fix on that. Let's head for the control room.

Well, switch it off, then.

-It's not as simple as that, Tia.

-Why not, Kat?

Switch off the Sparticle Project and the worlds realign. Simples.

Frankie, I'm the pilot of a jumbo jet. I want to land.

-Do I just "switch it off?"

-No, silly!

You'd drop out of the sky and crash, killing everybody horribly!

Well. The Sparticle Project is a like a million jumbo jets.

We need to reduce the machine's power

slowly or just like that plane Frankie was talking about, we'll

lose everyone on board.

You mean the grown ups?

This line is Us, and that's Them.

Once the lines have merged together and stay together,

we'll know we've done it.

And if they don't?

Then we wouldn't have brought back the adults.

Simples.

I'm losing speed control.

-Feels like the brakes have failed!

-They have.

That's what the magnets do, control the beam and slow it down.

Sabotage.

-Mystic Meg.

-I can handle that.

Jeff, let's go find the magnet!

-This isn't one of your botch jobs on the Spartivan, you need me!

-And us!

-Any volunteers for Pest Control?

-Me!

-Tia? We do everything together.

You're not the only one thinking about their future.

Happy horticulturing.

Where is she?

We need to find her, and fast!

There she is!

-She's getting away.

-Not from me she isn't.

I need Sadiq to get the Master Magnet back in the loop!

The other magnets can't deal with the extra workload. It's overloading!

'Energy overload.'

Hurry, Sadiq!

I need you to fix that magnet and now!

-What's wrong with the magnet?

-I don't know. Look for the broken bit!

Don't get any closer or I'll drop it.

-Why are you doing this?

-It's obvious, isn't it?

The Sparticle Project vaporised my mum and everyone else working here.

We were living on site when it happened.

So don't think I'm going to let you send me into oblivion. You STOP!

-Don't! That module will bring your mum back.

-I'm sick of make-believe.

You're the one playing dress-ups. What's with the headgear?

I had to cobble together history and myth and pretend

the Sparticle Project was a Minotaur

just to make it fun, to inspire the younger kids to help me.

-Help you do what?

-Protect child kind from another catastrophe.

We've been guarding the door so no-one can mess with the machine.

The machine is picking up speed.

Without the master magnet I can't slow it down!

The broken bit. It's here!

-We've got to plug the gap!

-What with?

With this.

If we can boost the magnet we can slow the machine down.

They've fixed it.

We're doing it... we're bringing the worlds together.

The adults will be with us soon.

Listen to us.

We're going to bring back your mum.

No. I don't believe your fairy story.

No!

I have to do something.

Holly. Go after her.

-No way.

-What, so the adults don't come back

because I was chasing after Reese?

Dig your way out of this!

What are you going to do? Hide? I thought this was your big moment.

Hello, Muna.

She's coming back! Muna!

That's it, Muna, you're nearly with us.

This is Muna.

She saved you once, Holly. Remember, at the funfair?

I've left the others holding the luminite in place.

It's boosting the magnet.

Kat?

I've got an electrical problem now as well!

This time we'll do it together. The worlds are realigning.

You were closer, in limbo, caught between the two,

but the adults are further away. They need our help.

The cables are cut. We need to reconnect the power.

Reese, no! That's live electricity.

I can do it! It's my mission.

From the moment I felt the Sparticle Project switching on

I've been gaining new powers. Now I know why. (Muna, are you ready?)

(Yes, but I'm not as strong as you.)

Kat.

Kat, look at the screen!

You're doing it... the worlds are coming together!

-MAN:

-Katherine.

Daddy.

Mum!

I missed you so much! I thought you were dead.

Doomsday Dora!

Less of the Doomsday!

Crisp?

-Welcome home.

-Not so fast!

We're back, but not stabilised.

Any quick drop in speed and the worlds will be pulled apart again.

Sadiq, that girl... that must be Muna.

She's just as Reese described.

Dad, what is that room?

The cryogenic cell.

It cools the machine.

No-one should be in there!

Those girls are linked into the electrical circuit of the machine.

-It's impossible.

-No, it's not!

They're using their minds.

Two minutes to permanent realignment!

Whatever they're doing, they've got to keep doing it,

or the worlds will remain apart.

Look at them, they don't have two minutes!

Muna!

Hold on.

Hold on, children.

Don't go! I need you!

No!

Dad, where's Muna?

-I don't know.

-She's gone.

It's destroyed her.

-We can't do this, Dad!

-We have to.

Just 90 seconds more and we'll be one world. Just how it was before.

Reese can't take all that electricity, can she?

80 seconds to realignment.

'Evacuate...'

Reese, please stop!

(Save yourself, Holly. Save yourself.)

Stop everything.

Save Reese. She is going to fry!

Reese is wired into the machine!

Yeah, and it's killing her.

60 seconds to realignment.

I'm not going to leave you.

(I'm part of the chain, Holly. I just am.)

I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

Reese can't take much more!

She's dissolving. We've got to cut the power now.

-40 seconds.

-What are you waiting for?

-Do you want her to vaporise like little Muna?

-Switch it off, Kat!

No, no, no, no, Kat!

The realignment isn't stable!

I can't let Reese die! She's not just some cog in your machine.

She's a human being. She's not just some particle or sparticle.

30 seconds to realignment.

Right.

Barker. What are you doing? Barker?

Then you're going to need this.

Barker, 20 seconds to realignment. No! Don't do it, Barker! No!

We can't let that child die!

-Help me, keep him back!

-We've got to stop the machine! Get off me.

Five... four... three... two...

The machine's crashing! It's shattered.

The whole cause shattered.

She's destroyed your life's work, Barker.

Sorry about Muna.

What's happening?

The realignment was only temporary.

I'm being pulled back.

No! But my mum! Give her this.

It's a diary of what I've been doing.

Find our Grandad and tell him Jeffrey's awesome!

-And give him this back Dora!

-Tell Mummy I miss her!

I will.

I promise.

Children, the Quantum Portal is closing,

you must find a new gateway to the adult dimension.

We are safe but locked away.

You must free us.

And this key will open secrets beyond science.

Journey to the Quantum Nexus.

-What's that?!

-It's...

-How do we use the key?

No!

I'm sorry, Dad.

No, I'm the one that's sorry.

The machine's broken. I've failed.

No.

You saved the world. The piece of paper your dad left you.

It's the master code to shut down all the nuclear power stations!

We can make our world safe to live in.

I don't think I can do this any more.

Of course you can.

We'll be together. All of us.

All of us Sparticles. We're a family.

You're my best friend, you know that?

And you're mine, too.

That's a Sacred Wheel and Cross. It's Celtic.

The Quantum Nexus was seen as a place of magic in ancient times.

Maybe in the future it'll be claimed by scientists.

Megan? Is the Quantum Nexus a mega confluence of ley lines?

That's exactly what it is.

We need to rescue Muna as well as the parents.

She's still stuck in limbo.

Shut up, Reese.

Reese, you're incredible.

Hey, Sparticles, let's hear it for Reese.

Well, you might have to defer your horticulture course.

Life on the road is an education in itself.

But I need a study partner.

Gross!

Listen up, everybody! Here's the deal.

I thought we could take a brief rest,

maybe stock up on a few tools for the Spartivan and...

hit the road to the Quantum Nexus and free the adults!
