The Troll Bridge The Sparticle Mystery

We've got a plan to send back Kylie and the Teen Parents.

These are seven ley line intersections.

We need seven Sensitives to stand on them.

Let's just find the sixth Sensitive and get out of here.

Fascinating.

-Are you all right, Aris?

-Who's Aris?

I know where all the Witch Children are going to be -

and now - I know when.

She hasn't found the exact location of the Circle of Perpetual Time.

Neither have we.

-I'm Holodora.

-I'm not your mother.

I'm kind of your future child.

-Mummy?

-Come to Mummy.

Erimon, she's a monster.

Spooky...

I know.

Betrayed! By my own brother!

-You won't help them send me away, will you?

-No, Mummy.

Have a sweetie.

We have a queen to catch.

Isn't it great? Sweets for dinner again.

Are you sure it's allowed?

Of course, it's allowed. I'm the queen of the whole entire country.

-Most mums don't approve of sweets.

-I'm not most mums.

-But you are my mum, aren't you?

-Er...yes!

Son, what's worrying you?

-It's just the Sparticles, they're...

-The Sparticles abducted you

and brainwashed you into thinking I am the enemy.

It's called Munchy-munchhouse Syndrome.

Faster!

Bounty Hunters to Teen Queen. Bounty Hunters to Teen Queen.

Queen, here. I only want good news.

And I have it, your Maj-lette!

We're about to pick up two of the Sparticles, not far behind you.

-Bring them to the river bridge.

-Bounty Hunters over and out.

The crossroad's just up ahead.

This is where we agreed to meet. Where are the Sparticles?

Where are they?

CAR HORN BLARES

Bounty hunters!

This is our last stand, Serena. But we shall go down fighting!

Ern!

-What kept you?

-What kept you, you mean.

Once a rebel...

always a rebel.

-Hold on!

-Argh!

SCREAMS OVER RADIO THEN CRASH

Hello?

They've gone. The Sparticles took them out.

It's just me and you, now.

You've done an amazing job, Serena. Breaking Orion out of the Citadel.

And Orion?

At the Standing Stones waiting for the call at the Comet Hour.

He's enjoying himself after all that time locked in a cell.

So, we've just got the final Sensitive to pick up there -

at the Circle of Perpetual Time.

Where's Aris? Sadiq?

-Kylie captured him.

-What?! How could you let that happen?

It's not like I chose to let him go - like you did with Bua.

-What happened with Aris, Reese?

-I don't know...

Yanx - the new Sensitive - and I had Kylie cornered.

We were about to send Kylie home, then...something broke our powers.

Or someone.

-Mummy?

-WHAT?

I mean... Yes, sweetheart?

Now I'm with you, the Sparticles won't have the seven Sensitives

they need to send you back - and the Teen Parents.

So, why can't we just go back to the Citadel?

Er... Because, my little prince,

I have to make absolutely super certain they don't snatch

the seventh Sensitive.

You wouldn't want to let them steal another child

from their mummy, would you?

Careful, saddle sores!

We have to get that Neuroscrambler to the Centre in one piece.

Why do you need to use that machine,

if you're going to rescue the Sensitives and go home?

PULL OVER! I need to make a phone call.

PHONE RINGS

-Private secretary Eva, speaking.

-Is the Transmitter finished?

Have the plotters left yet?

Well?

We've got problems with the generator.

Excuses equal executions.

The Transmitter is actually finished

but we can't get the electricity to stay on long enough to test it.

It's as if something's draining all the power.

Get the generator working, Eva,

and dispatch my brother and Dora out on the road.

I must have that Transmitter to stop the Witch Children!

Yes, your royal haughtiness.

I've never had a beard!

I think Kylie's onto us.

What keeps doing that?

I can't see anything. I'm pretty sure the Transmitter's operational.

We have to be certain it works.

Otherwise the Sensitives will link up and send us both back

-to our own worlds.

-I don't want that, Erimon.

-Me neither.

RATTLING AND ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

Couldn't we just... turn it off and on again?

That's it!

WHO DARES?!

It's the Troll Bridge!

Trolls eat people!

-They're cannibals?!

-Rubbish! there's no such thing as troll cannibals

and even if there was - we're not people, we're royalty.

COWARDS!

Use your Witch powers!

Do what your Mother tells you!

SHE SCREAMS

Ugh.

Good.

Now - kneel before your queen.

There's only one queen around here -

and she is hungry.

TROLLS!

And who is "she"?

-Queen Katrina. And you are?

-Queen Kylie.

-Never 'eard of you.

-You have slowed me down long enough, Trina.

Call off your dogs...

or I'll set off my secret weapon.

For starters.

-What do you mean the trolls are cannibals?

-Cannibals - flesh eaters.

It's just pretend. Right, Sadiq?

Right. Just a rumour started to scare other kids away.

-Whatever - they've got the bridge covered.

-We need to storm it.

No! It's too dangerous. We need to find another way.

It's the fastest way to the Circle of Perpetual Time.

-There's no time for a detour.

-Like I said - storm it.

Do you want to end up as Troll Soup?

Sadiq - you said they weren't cannibals!

The Trolls have got control of the bridge - we need to get across it!

I'm saying - we need to think about how to do it!

Can you two stop arguing? Please!

Yeah, it's like being stuck in the car with my parents again.

-Who votes we take the bridge?

-There's no voting.

-I'm tribe leader and I say we...

-SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

Sadiq, where are you going?

Let me talk to him.

# What we going to do? We're in a stew... #

Sorry. I'm just trying to lighten the mood. What's wrong with you?

-Are those ribs cooked?

-Yes, Queen Trina.

-Good!

FLIES BUZZING

My last enemy.

Serve them up.

THEY EAT NOISILY

So, tell me, Kylie. Why do I need an alliance with you?

There's an army on its way and if they win

they'll make all the Teen Parents disappear.

So, what's the biggie? Mine have mysteriously disappeared already.

-Nice ribs. Pork, isn't it?

-No.

Listen, Trina Troll, when the Sparticles have got rid of me,

-do you really think they'll stop at that?

-Huh?

You'll be next, your royal trolliness.

We'll both go the same way as Emperor Fizzy. Remember him?

Exactly.

-Where are you going?

-What you wanted.

I'll sneak up and make sure it's safe to cross.

Better than us all going at once and getting captured.

-That's just too dangerous.

-We can't risk losing anyone else.

Are you talking about Bua or Aris? Because Aris was lost on your watch.

And Bua was given away on yours.

We left it badly at the Fisher Girls camp. Can we talk about it?

-Maybe later - we're on a mission, remember.

-How could I forget?

It's hard enough to get the tribe to believe in me, Serena.

I shouldn't have to convince my own girlfriend.

So, this is all about you being the leader and me not taking orders?

It's not like we're even together, is it? Not really.

-We can't agree on anything.

-If that's how you feel about it.

It's how it is.

-Fine.

-Fine.

Just make sure you don't end up as finger food, eh!

So, about this alliance of yours - how would it work?

-We lure them in and we trap them.

-A trap?

So we need the right bait.

Or baits...

-Do I have to wear this thing?

-Of course you do.

Otherwise no-one will believe you're a hostage.

GROWLING

Bounty Hunter to Teen Queen. Come in, Teen Queen.

I give up. Pull over, Dad.

Fizz...

Queenzilla's out of range.

Probably just as well, given our latest triumph.

Kylie said she was nearly at the bridge...

Why don't we just follow the river?

Bound to find a bridge eventually.

Wow, Dad. That was almost smart!

-Ready, Erimon?

-All set here, Dora.

On my mark - cut the power to the Citadel.

Hopefully, a complete reboot and memory dump

will get rid of any bugs in the system.

In three, two, one...

-Wait!

-Holodora! What are you doing?

Don't memory dump your systems! I'm in here. I might get deleted!

-What do you want?

-I want to show you something.

-What?

Your future.

'Dora? Dora, you there?

'Shall I cut the power?'

No!

You want to talk about it, Serena?

I actually wanted to talk about it with Sadiq -

-but his stupid pride got in the way.

-Boys!

They haven't got any better. They were just the same in 1983.

Custard?

I'm worried the trolls have got Sadiq. I know...you've split up.

Oh, Frankie, that doesn't mean I don't care about him.

-So, we're going after Sadiq?

-And the trolls?

We haven't got anything to fight them with.

How many more of them do we have?

Aris! Are you OK? If you've hurt him, I swear I'll...

No! I'm fine, Sadiq. Where are the others?

-What are you doing here?

-I'm here to rescue you.

You're doing a great job!

He looks a bit puny.

I suppose he'll be all right when he's been marinated for a week.

Not much fun, is it, Your Majesty? Being imprisoned by a mad queen?

And where are your Sparti-pants pals? Hmm?

Not exactly rushing to save their fearless leader.

Once they realise what's happened, they'll come looking for me.

And you, Aris.

They better hurry - or you'll be hotpot.

Unless, of course, we can somehow get the helmet off

this little pal of yours, so he can use his powers

to summon his freak mates.

That's me in school - with Caroline and Hilary.

-But I don't remember that one.

-That's because it's from your future.

That's what will happen when you go back home.

I'm graduating from university!

With a doctorate.

Is that India? I've always wanted to go travelling.

And is that my lab? Ooh, groovy!

That's you when you created me. Half-created me.

Now, I want you to finish the job. I want to break free.

I want us to be a proper mum and daughter.

-I don't know how to.

-But we can do it together!

If we can generate enough power - you have the brains to make me human.

-Have you read Frankenstein?

-Mummy! Be serious. We need power.

It was you draining the power. I should have realised.

'Dora - are you all right?'

HIM! You care about him more than me!

Please, you have to calm down.

-I want to be real! Make me real.

-No.

Is your computer talking? Can computers normally talk?

You don't love me, Mummy!

-Hold still a minute!

-Ow! That's my nose.

Don't think this changes anything, Kylie.

Once we get out of this, we're still going to send you home.

Ow! Watch it!

-So, where's the rest of your army?

-They'll be here.

Feed the fire, dinner's on its way.

There's Aris and Sadiq and...

-get this - Kylie.

-ALL:

-Kylie?

-And, is that a cooking pot?!

-What?!

We can sneak across - commando style - pick them off one by one.

If only we had some sort of distraction.

CAR HORN BLARES

HORN BLARES AGAIN

HORN BLARES

OK, Holly, that's enough! We don't want them to find you either.

Good luck, guys.

Serena, come in! Come in! The Bounty Hunters are coming!

CAR HORN BLARES

Blimey. I've seen better gonks at the fairground.

Don't speak too soon.

-What have you done with my queen?

-I am the queen.

-Surrender, Sparticles!

-Who are you calling a Sparticle?

No, don't! Don't fire!

JUMBLED SPED-UP SPEECH

Well, Kylie, looks like it took a real queen to do

what you never could - capture the Sparticles!

You blundering fools! What are you doing here?

-Where are the Sparticles?

-They aren't the Sparticles?

No, and you can have them on toast, for all I care.

What?! No! Don't eat me!

I'm too thin and chewy. Please... Don't...

Move!

Everyone stay together.

Custard!

Sparticles - take the bridge!

Seriously?!

Reload!

They're here. But they won't make it across the bridge. Trolls...

We have to help them! Come on...

Aris - can you use your powers on these ropes?

-Finally! A good idea - but me first.

-Are you insane?

Like we'd ever help you.

Aris? What are you doing?

What his mummy tells him. Isn't that right, my little prince?

-Go, go!

-MOVE!

Don't listen to her, Aris!

Those are your real friends on that bridge trying to rescue you.

-You can't leave them to the Trolls.

-You brainwashed me.

Aris, you've been travelling as part of our tribe for months.

They're not your friends, remember.

Get me my rickshaw.

-Kylie is NOT your Teen Mum.

-But I know she is.

-But you don't know.

She wiped your memories and planted new ones in there.

-You've got a Teen Mum somewhere, but it isn't Kylie.

-It is!

We're going to rescue the last Sensitive before you get them

and brainwash them, too.

Aris, she's lying.

He's right.

-What?

-Just a little bit, sweetie.

We are heading to the Centre, but I need you to rejoin the Sparticles.

To slow them down - to make sure I get there first.

We've had a few technical hitches back at the Citadel.

But how do you know the Sparticles are going to get across the bridge?

Man down. Man down!

The same way we did, Reese will use her powers and...boo-boom.

Shh... Now, you are going to be my little snake in the grass-s-s-s-s.

No. I can never let him betray the Sparticles. Never!

Who says you're even going to remember?

Yes! Yes!

ALL CHEER WITH JOY

-This is custard's last stand.

-We're all out of custard bombs!

But we're not out of brainpower!

THEY GASP

Now, I know this can wipe a Sensitive's memories...

so let's see what the Neuroscrambler can do to a non-Sensitive.

Just focus on opening up Sadiq's mind

and hopefully the signal will pass straight through you and into him.

-Hopefully?

-Don't do it! I'm your friend.

Aris, you promised to do whatever I asked.

Now, keep your promise.

MACHINE POWERS UP

HE GRUNTS

Clever boy.

Go now - and remember - say nothing about this to the enemy.

And do everything you can to stop the Sparticles

from getting to the Centre.

Have a sweetie.

What about Sadiq?

Who knows what he'll remember when he wakes up?

-Haven't you forgotten something?

-What is that annoying squeaky noise?

Bye, darling. I'll see you at the Centre!

-What's going on? Where are we?

-You don't remember?

You saved me.

You rescued me from Kylie!

I did?

Who's Kylie?

WHAT is going on here?

Honestly, I've only been gone a couple of days.

I should have known Trina would have her friends over.

-Without asking.

-We're not her friends.

-Where's my brother, you big bully?

-Bully? I am the Queen.

You sure about that?

-Uh-oh.

-Katrina...

Yes, Mum? I mean - your royal highness, queen of the Trolls.

I go to the hairdressers and look what happens.

-What have you been up to?

-Being queen.

You are NOT the queen. You're a very naughty girl.

Have you been telling everyone you ate me?

-Might have...

-MIGHT HAVE?

Trolls, after her!

THEY GROWL

-You did it, Sadiq! You saved Aris.

-I guess. It's all a bit of a...

I think I might have banged my head or something.

You saved all of us.

How about a hug?

Shall we try rebooting everything again?

No. We don't need to. The Transmitter's ready.

It was the Citadel's power supply that was the problem all along.

I'll sort some transport and we can get on the road tonight.

Eva, we're ready to travel.

-I thought you'd gone.

-I want to ask you one last time.

Can you make me real?

I'm sorry, but you're a virtual programme in a virtual world.

We'll see about that, Mummy.

Come on! Kylie's got a head start on us.

Let's get going and find the last Sensitive

and the Circle of Perpetual Time.

-What are you doing?

-What's wrong?

Sadiq - we broke up and you're acting like you couldn't care less.

Are you OK? You might have concussion.

I better drive.

-Sadiq, what happened to you?

-Erm... I don't know.

Serena?

Don't worry, I'll look after you.

Aris, did something happen to Sadiq when you guys were with Kylie?

What? No...

I don't know. He's probably just tired.

-That's Aris' jacket.

-I know.

Dora! Ready to go?

Your carriage awaits, m'lady.

I always wanted to try out one of these things.

-I think he's working for Kylie and he's her spy.

-That's crazy!

Oops.

I think we've found our seventh Sensitive

and the Circle of Perpetual Time.

The Day of Reckoning!

-Sorry!

-If Reese and Aris get here in time

to stand at the Circle and link up. we can do this!

How could you?!

Several million Kylies owing, Ma'am.

Once my enemies are mind-wiped, I will be unstoppable!

Let them think THEY are winning.

Why are you the only adult left on earth?

Why am I still here? If not to light up the sky?
