Friend or Foe Wizards vs Aliens

Look, trust me, OK? I know what I'm doing and I'll be careful.

So today, in science behind Mr Fisher's back, Benny Sherwood

will secretly be mixing chemicals that could go bang!

But he'll be careful. No worries there, then(!)

I promise, nothing will go bang.

Have followed subjects. Cover intact.

Target has entered the school.

Will maintain constant surveillance.

EXPLOSIONS

PEOPLE SCREAM

Benny Sherwood, this is your fault again!

You lot, over there, Assembly point C!

You two here! Wait here.

You are in so much trouble.

We are talking letters home, detentions, investigations...

and things, things I haven't even thought of yet!

It was only a little bang, sir!

A bang, Sherwood, followed by a room full of smoke,

followed by panic, followed by...

well, just look!

I only passed the magnesium!

I wasn't trying for a smoke bomb, sir!

No excuses!

Just think of the damage that you've done to this school!

You, Benny Sherwood...

Ein kosh graak dah!

What damage, sir?

But that's... But no...

But there was a whole...

Ein landwy dah!

No, I saw... No, I swear...

But the explosion?

Explosion? Perhaps you should take it easy this weekend, sir?

BELL RINGS

And there's the bell! See you later then, sir.

Oh, bangin' lesson!

Thanks.

Smooth. But don't you think that was a bit... public, Tom?

Don't you think that was a funny way of saying "thanks," Benny?

Ma'am, did you see that?

The boy, he clicked and...

The smoke went... Their clothes!

It was like... Bam! It's unbelievable!

Stay calm, Adams.

This is exactly the proof I wanted.

Congratulations, I'll be making a positive note on your record.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thousands of years of human history

and we're the first to find a Wizard.

Magic exists, Adams!

You were right, ma'am, of course.

Stick close to Thomas Clarke. Everything must go as planned.

His magic will soon belong to me!

Substandard work, Guard 731.

I am displeased.

Report for discipline.

Nothing escapes my attention.

Carry on, Varg.

Emergency! Human intruder

on flight deck! Lockdown now!

Do not move, human!

You are a prisoner of the Nekross.

I'm hurt. Don't you recognise me?

You will answer my questions! How did you come aboard my ship?

So it's your ship, is it? How very proprietorial of you, Varg!

How do you know my name? Who are you?

Attend!

Hail, the might of Nekron!

Report to your King.

Father! When you hear what...

Not you, Varg! Speak, Lexi.

As the King commands, so it is done.

You decreed the Form-Filter was to be completed.

It seems it can deceive even a Nekross.

Excellent! You will show me.

Ugh! Disgusting!

Exactly, Father, a perfect recreation of a human being.

I've made a detailed study of the humans' rituals and social codes.

The key to understanding them

came from primitive digital signals known as "tele-vision"

which seem to rule every aspect of human life.

But what purpose do they serve?

The creatures seem almost hypnotised by the signals, Father.

They believe whatever they see or hear. It proves their weakness.

Then why waste time studying such an inferior species, sister?

Do you not see? The Form-Filter makes me appear human.

It allows me to move amongst humans

unnoticed and unchallenged.

The perfect spy!

A spy? Do you claim that a Wizard...

Would never see the danger in his midst until it was too late.

HE LAUGHS

Target on the move.

Other kid in tow. Is the operation go, ma'am?

Not yet, Adams! I will tell you when Operation Vanishing Act begins.

Sorry, ma'am.

It seems you and Father have planned this to the last detail!

Varg, this project has been a challenge even for me.

We all work to the same ends, brother!

Then explain, what is this object?

This is part of my disguise.

I have designed "Lucy" very precisely to fool

the young Wizard, Tom Clarke.

He has ambitions outside the Wizards' realm.

And Lucy can help him. Or so he will think.

But what if Tom Clarke suspects?

See! You recoil at this "human". He will not suspect.

As Lucy, I will become a part of his world.

And I will use his knowledge to find the location

of every drop of magic hidden on Earth.

The Nekross shall feast!

I think you begin to see the merits of my plan at last.

I can transport you only to Tom Clarke's

known locale, as the Wizards remain shielded from us.

Keep an active comms signal at all times.

Do not worry, Varg. I will find Tom Clarke.

As the humans say,

I have really done my homework!

TRANSPORTER WHIRRS

So much space.

So pointlessly pretty, but so perfect.

MACHINE BEEPS

'Lexi? Were you reporting in?

'I was unable to comprehend your words.'

I was...

There was some slight disorientation.

I am proceeding with my search for Tom Clarke. Out.

Emergency supplies for the shed.

If your folks ever find out, you'll be on a diet

of gluten-free pips and seeds till the day you leave home.

Here he is, the main man!

Don't cheer, cos it gets embarrassing.

Ah, your geeky mate hasn't blown up the ball, then?

Well, not yet, anyway!

It was barely an explosion!

And I'm pretty sure I know what went wrong.

You going to chat all afternoon, Quinn, or are we going

to play some footy?

Don't fancy a kick about, Katie?

Well, I wouldn't want to give one side an unfair advantage!

Lexi to Zarantulus.

Target sighted. Am proceeding with the plan.

Maintain communicator silence until I instruct otherwise. Out.

PLAYERS YELL AND CHEER

Take it, take it!

Sorry! Sorry!

Sometimes I don't know my own strength!

That's... How did you do that?

I seem to have lost your ball, so you can use mine.

OK, but who are you, then?

What?

Names! Never forgo social niceties, that's my motto.

Hello, I'm Lucy.

Tom Clarke. This is Benny, Katie.

If it's chocolate you're after, Benny has got a shopful in his bag.

Uh, here you go.

Chock oh lit?

Don't tell me you've never heard of chocolate before.

Where've you been hiding, the Moon?

Of course not.

I just try to eat healthily.

Chock oh lit is not an essential part of human...

our diet.

Whoa! Did somebody skip lunch?

Correct.

We playing a game or what?

Here!

Continue to play!

Just love to watch those experts at work.

Oi! That still counts as a save.

Pretty good throw, though.

Do you work in football or something?

I do. And I saw how well you played, Tom Clarke.

I'm sure you wouldn't have been felled by my throw.

Wow. Um. Thanks!

Good footwork. Great potential.

-With the right coaching...

-You should take up refereeing,

it's obvious you can't see what's right in front of you.

You keep trying, Clarkey.

You coming, girls?

Hey, come on, you guys.

I should be heading home anyway.

It was, uh, nice to meet you, Lucy.

Goodbye. I'm serious about football. Are you?

I'll try to catch you up, yeah?

Sure. See you later. Bye, Benny.

Two of them left with the target now.

What are your orders, ma'am?

Watch and wait for now.

But move all units to full alert.

I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before.

You look kind of familiar.

We humans do look very similar to each other.

I'm sure I've never met you.

I'd remember someone with your exceptional skills.

Ah, thanks!

I'll ask you again, Tom.

Are you serious about football?

Yeah, I am, but the thing is,

my family aren't into football.

They'd rather I was doing...

Let's just say the family business comes first, I guess.

But football is a very popular sport,

resulting in admiration and financial reward.

Are your family not aware of this?

Maybe you should pop round and tell them.

Splendid idea.

As long as they're not having a busy spell at home right now?

There's a short cut just down here we can take.

Oh, good.

Adams, take the wizard and his friends. We'll need them.

I have been tracking Lexi, Father. I...

I think she may be leading us directly to the Wizard stronghold.

At last! Victory is in our grasp!

THEY LAUGH

PHONE RINGS

Sorry, it'll be Mum. I'll catch you up.

-What does your father do?

-Hi, Mum.

-He's a vet.

-A former soldier?

No! Vet.

As in making poorly pets better.

What about your dad?

Does he play football too?

My father... isn't very mobile these days.

Needs a lot of attention.

But I'm really very... devoted to him.

Only one remains with the target.

All units await your order, ma'am.

The second they're out of public view, Adams,

take the wizard and the girl!

-Is your house much further?

-This is a just a short cut,

it's not far from here, don't worry.

TYRES SCREECH

What are you doing? Who are you?

-Lucy, run!

-What's happening?

HE COUGHS

Gotcha, Wizard!

Guards, take them. Now move out.

Hey! What's going on? Hey!

No, Tom!

Tom! Can you hear me? Tom! Tom!

Sister, come in!

Lexi, do you read me?

Zarantulus calling Lexi.

Report! Lexi, respond at once!

Lexi?

Father, we have lost communication.

Wizard trickery!

You will go to Earth and find her, Varg. Find her!

Oh, no! Not you. No, no.

-Don't shoot.

-Where is my sister?

Look, please, don't shoot. I don't know anything.

You hold her communications unit. You tell me where she is now.

I haven't seen her. I don't know. I would have remembered. I swear.

Lexi was with the wizard halfling. Where has he taken her?

Tell me the truth - human - or be disintegrated.

Tom, he's with, er, Lucy.

I just saw them both in...

No. Is that possible?

-Can you change your shape to look human?

-You know this?

Then Lexi's disguise failed, as I feared it would.

No, it did work. It fooled Tom.

And me. Lucy's Lexi, of course. I thought I recognised her.

-Your babbling serves no purpose.

-Please. Listen.

Something happened to them both.

There was smoke or gas.

I just saw Tom and Lexi taken away in a big van.

Gas! Move back, halfling.

A narcotic compound, dissipating.

It was strong enough to fell Lexi.

-And Tom?

-Irrelevant.

If it was knockout gas, we're talking science.

Wizards wouldn't touch that stuff. You know that.

Then who? Human cattle? Creatures like you?

Like me?

Obviously not me.

I wonder.

No, please don't...

Hello!

Can anyone hear me?

I can hear you, Thomas.

Who are you? Let me out of here.

You don't recognise me. Good.

I pay a great deal of money to make sure nobody ever does.

Look, whoever you are, I don't know what all this is about.

Listen and learn. My name is Stephanie Gaunt.

Yours is Thomas Clarke. I am a very rich woman.

-I can make you a very rich young man.

-What are you on about?

I'm talking about magic.

What? Pulling rabbits out of hats?

Look sorry, this would have been better

coming from your mum when you were six.

There's no such thing...

No more denials, no more lies.

You are now my wizard, Thomas.

I went to a lot of trouble to acquire you.

You'll be in a lot more trouble to keep me.

Just a simple click of the fingers. Amazing, isn't it, what that can do.

-Lucy! What have you done to her?

-Nothing yet.

But try to use magic

and poor Lucy will suffer the consequences, like THAT!

Benjamin! Whatever's wrong, dear?

It's Tom. He's been kidnapped.

Please, let her go.

-She doesn't know anything.

-I'm aware of that.

But her presence means you'll do exactly as I say.

Whatever you want with me, just let her go.

Thomas, we're going to be working together from now on

and there are a few things you need to understand.

-I think I know enough already.

-You think wrong.

I've achieved a lot, but the world is full of things money can't buy.

Or it was. Because, with your magic,

everything is now within my reach.

Give me what I ask and I will make you richer

than you ever dreamed.

You've got a problem there.

Because there's one thing money can't buy, it's me.

You've got one hour to change your mind

and bring your friend up to speed.

Otherwise she pays the price.

Lucy!

-Are you all right?

-No, I'm not all right.

I wake up tied to a bed and someone was threatening me. What is this?

She's after me. It's my fault, I promise I'll get you out.

Can't you just magic us out?

-What?

-That's what you said, wasn't it?

You're a wizard. Are you?

You heard all that?

I shouldn't be telling anyone this.

I got you into this, so you deserve the truth.

I am a wizard.

But we only get three spells a day, and I've already used two.

So? We've still got one.

What about your family? Are they magic too?

There must be some magic way to call them

or maybe there's more wizards nearby - there are more - yes?

Lucy, please. I don't want to use my last spell

until I know more about this place, like where we are.

I can't just magic us off somewhere safe, it doesn't work like that.

Tom! I'm scared.

Lucy, trust me. A wizard always protects his friends.

Michael of the unenchanted.

-A wonder most rare.

-Shut up and listen, Moon.

Tom's been taken. We have to find him NOW.

Unworld ones will be taking Thomas?

No! I know it's hard to believe,

-but it can't be the Nekross.

-So, what do I do? Call the police?

My son's been kidnapped. Oh, and there's a disguised alien with him!

Mr Clarke. Varg was worried about his sister.

-If you focus on that...

-I'm focusing on my son, Benny.

Focus, like Benjamin says.

Find a spell. Something powerful.

Wizards stay hidden. There's no such thing as a finding spell.

Please don't cry, Mrs Crowe. I've got an idea.

But you won't like it.

Be coming out with it, imp! Quick sticks!

We can't do this on our own.

We've got to ask for help to find Tom.

We've got to call...

the Nekross.

It is hard to believe, but it would appear Lexi was taken by...

humans.

Impossible!

But it has happened! Lexi is lost.

-The halfling Clarke was also taken.

-That is irrelevant!

Perhaps not, Father.

The Wizards will be just as anxious to find him as we are to find Lexi.

Ask the Nekross for help?!

I know! But their ship's got scanners, sensors,

all sorts of technology they'll use to find Lexi.

Benny, we can't trust them!

Randal Moon will be loathing the unworld ones,

but as we be fearful for Thomas,

will they not be awash with worries for their lost whelp?

United, the power of Wizardkind

and the machine-might of Nekross

may save our boy from this hidden foe!

He could be right, Michael.

Never! Nekross need no help!

It pains me, Father, but it may be the only way to find Lexi!

Their knowledge may be of use.

Think of it merely as a temporary coalition!

Mm... A coalition!

That will end as all coalitions do.

When we feed on them all!

Ma'am. Lennox in Tech-Div says

he's registering a type D power source from the lab.

-Could be the boy.

-Or it could be somebody else!

Can't you call the other Wizards?

Summoning spells are advanced magic. I'm still learning that stuff!

I'm learning too.

Learning that someone's been telling lies.

I haven't used magic. I swear!

No. But then I hardly thought magic was a Type D power source!

Whereas this unusual design...

Where did you get it?

It's a family heirloom.

And you should never upset my family so keep your hands off it!

Stay away from her, Gaunt!

You've got to be kidding! Lexi?!

What are you?

She's a monster!

I am Nekross!

This has got to be a trick, Ma'am.

No, I don't think so. This is advanced technology.

It's alien technology!

She is a vicious, dangerous alien!

So, I have an alien!

A Wizard and an alien!

Oh, this is even better than I'd hoped.

There is nothing... Nothing we cannot do!

So, let's start with the world. And then...

Why not?... The whole universe!

Power up the scanner, Lennox.

Let's see what we have here.

Stop it! You're hurting her.

If she's your enemy, shouldn't you be enjoying this?

Wizards don't inflict pain, even on our enemies.

Only someone really sick could enjoy hurting another living thing.

So STOP it!

Thank you, Lennox.

The deep particle scan will give me every detail of the alien's body.

Now, Thomas, tell me all about this enemy of yours.

I don't have to tell you anything.

Well, I could perhaps scan her again.

The Nekross came here for US - Wizardkind.

They feed on magic.

They want to drain it from every wizard on Earth.

Aliens that eat magic? I admit I didn't see that coming.

Few ever see the Nekross coming.

And none are left to see us depart!

Nekross plural, Wizards plural.

So, neither of you are irreplaceable.

No human can enslave a Nekross!

And no Wizard will work with one!

Think of me as a peacemaker.

Two warring factions brought together.

Your magic, your alien technology -

this test should be easy for you.

-What test?

-Simple.

In one hour, you two are going to steal me the Crown Jewels!

Here goes.

I call on the... essence of Nekross.

Who dares to address the Nekross uninvited?

Ah! The hag Crowe!

Hear me, oh Nekross.

I, Ursula Crowe,

elder of this blood line,

invoke the ancient rite of parley and ask the help of you...

So! The mighty Wizards come crawling for OUR aid! Ha!

I told you! We're wasting our time with these things!

Listen! We've lost Tom. You've lost Lexi.

We want the same thing, don't we? To find them!

Doesn't it make sense that we need to work together?

The Nekross need no assistance!

Varg! By royal command,

you will commence negotiations now!

As the king commands, attend, Hag.

First, you must swear to respect the scrolls of Uthgar.

Who cares about the scrolls or statutes?

Tom and Lexi are in danger! We've got to find them now!

If you require Nekross assistance, it must be on our terms.

We must find a neutral area for the coalition.

Then let's get on with it.

The Crown Jewels - stored securely in the Tower of London

for over 700 years. Until today.

Because, in one hour, they'll have a new home here.

What power do these primitive objects possess?

Put a crown on and you get to wave at people.

They're symbols of power.

Something money can't buy.

They're just a test.

After that we'll move on to bigger things - Silicon Valley, Fort Knox.

You will bring me real power!

Lennox!

All the information you need is here.

YOU have magic. YOU have alien science.

You will tell me how to commit the perfect crime.

I can't do that - it's impossible.

You'll be surprised what you can achieve when your life -

and that thing's life - are at stake!

What you're asking - that's powerful magic.

I'd need a few things.

More than a finger and a thumb?

You want a spell from a distance.

It will need a boost. Certain herbs,

magical powders - chemicals to you.

If you say so.

Lennox!

I think I'll take this.

No!

The Form Filter has a dual function.

Without it, I cannot breathe the atmosphere of this filthy world.

Remove it and I die!

I hope you're not lying to me.

Take it and find out!

The magnesium powder is vital.

Get all of this, by any means. NOW.

Don't disappoint me.

Play nicely.

I think the alien's lying.

Get me those scan results fast.

I want to know how it breathes!

On this day, at this appointed hour,

exemplars of Wizardkind and the Nekross,

come to join forces in quest of those who are lost.

Since the Neverside Wars,

this has been an enchanted place.

Here, no act of magical aggression can be done, no weapon can function.

I declare the truce in force.

An alliance of Wizards and Nekross!

You have finished talking? Good.

Nekross technology is needed - not words.

The Form Filter I wear will assist in infiltrating the enemy lair.

And Nekross weaponry will assist in said enemy's destruction!

We've got to find said enemy first!

To which end you bring... That?!

I've been trying to access any speed cameras near that lane

to see if I can get the numberplate of the van I saw Tom and Lexi in.

But I've not had much luck.

Superior Nekross technology will enhance this toy!

It can interface with and dominate any computer.

So, describe precisely the specifications

of your inferior technology.

Going to show your mighty Nekross powers? Smash up a camera?

I see you have studied the Gaunt woman's plans

like an obedient slave.

So, now you can prepare

your unusually magnesium-based magic, Tom Clarke.

Nice to know YOU care, Lexi!

How nice to know YOU care, Wizard!

What are you doing?

The Gaunt woman has monitored us ever since our arrival.

I have just engineered a solution.

Now, Tom Clarke, we can talk freely at last.

So, you've looped the camera?

She can't see us or hear us?

That is what I said.

OK, so we can talk.

About what - escaping?

Do you need my help?

Oh, that would be a good one!

I'm curious.

You tried to stop the Gaunt woman harming me.

First, when you thought I was Lucy,

again when you knew I was your enemy! Why?

Maybe because of Lucy. I liked her.

And she never even existed.

I worked hard to trap you, Wizard.

Lucy was the perfect disguise.

Yeah, all that homework you did. Was that just for me?

I found some of the social rituals interesting.

Nekross culture is rigid, geared for survival. Yours is so...

erratic and undisciplined.

And fun, remember?

Chocolate and football and the park.

From where I was standing, it looked as if you were enjoying yourself.

I think you liked being Lucy!

You forget, Wizard - I am not Lucy!

You see, Lexi, that's the thing. You ARE.

When you wore that disguise, you WERE human!

And now you've seen the world properly,

do you really want to destroy it?

Time is short! I have a plan of escape.

You clearly have a plan also.

So, shall we stop talking and start trying to find a way out?

I have configured the device to the stated parameters. Now behold!

Oh, brilliant! Just brilliant!

How are we going to trace that van now?

Urgh! Your primitive machine was at fault.

You haven't answered Benny's question. What do we do now?

Must be something in here.

Argh! What are you doing?

There may be a more efficient way!

You say you saw this 'van' with your inferior human eyes?

For a second, but...

Yet you cannot remember the code number we require?

Sorry, but us 'inferior' humans

don't have photographic memories.

Not yet.

Zarantulus! Send down the Brain-Scrape!

Brain-Scrape...?

Oh, boy!

I wish we knew where we were.

Focus on my plan!

YOUR plan?

Any plan expressed in the presence of a member of the Royal House

of Nekron becomes our property.

You really will steal anything!

Your kind are so quick to judge.

So much talk of fairness and democracy and justice!

Humans bleat on and on. Nothing gets done!

If you don't like Earth, Lexi, why don't you just leave?

Not while magic exists here.

NOTHING compares to the taste!

So, it's all just cos it tastes good?

That's never struck you as wrong?

How many humans are starving on your planet?

Even the poorest Nekross has a place in our society.

We'd never let a single one starve!

But anyone else, anyone who isn't a Nekross, gets trampled on?

At least in my society we have freedom!

We're locked in a cell, Tom Clarke!

-Did you just smile?

-No!

LEXI LAUGHS

I'll never understand you.

I will never understand YOU!

A Wizard, with such power.

Yet all you want to do is kick a ball!

Football's my thing, Lexi.

Not my family's, not Benny's.

Then you lot turned up, so what I wanted didn't matter any more.

But today, Lucy made me feel like it did matter.

That it wasn't just a stupid dream.

Enough talk! Get on with my plan.

The Brain-Scrape is ready!

No way! That thing is going nowhere near me.

You just blew up my laptop!

It is possible your human brain will explode.

Is it not worth it to save your friend?

No. No way! I will not allow this.

Wait! Wait! One second.

I might be able to help.

I think so anyway.

What is it, Mrs Crowe?

For centuries, Benjamin, Wizards have used the Spell of Rapport.

It smoothes the way for thoughts and ideas, even dreams.

Opens up the deep mind's eye.

If I cast the charm on Benjamin,

perhaps that nasty thing wouldn't

have to scrape so hard?

-How you coddle the halfling!

-You sure about this?

Really sure?

Well, I... I admit I haven't done it in, well...

..40 years!

Benny. It's YOUR choice.

Brave, brave boy...

Just stay with me, Benjamin.

SHE RECITES AN INCANTATION

Varg, do it.

Now!

SHE RECITES AN INCANTATION

Concentrate, human halfling!

There! The code.

Shut it off. NOW!

Gently!

Careful, Benjamin.

G...V...1-2...

F-R-K.

We need to trace that numberplate, Varg.

I already am!

There! I think that'll do it.

We may not require them after all.

As we have an open door, Tom Clarke.

Of course, I could escape now.

But we stand a better chance together.

As allies.

-We must locate an ancillary exit.

-You mean a door?

Those two are awfully quiet.

-What is it?

-Did you see that, Adams?

For a moment...

A glitch!

Oh, they have been clever.

But not clever enough. Full alert!

I have it!

The origin of this 'van' - the dwelling of our enemy!

Where? My car's outside, we should all just about fit.

Human idiot!

Teleport now!

GV12 FRK. We have found our enemy!

I can hear alarms.

Bet you anything it's Tom. Come on!

One door. As promised.

We have the advantage of surprise!

So, we slip in quietly.

No. We attack. Follow me!

Going somewhere?

Now, Lennox!

Sorry.

Teleport us. Now!

No! The weight of you fleshy humans has drained it of power.

Now move!

I was expecting you to try to escape, of course.

But that looped camera though, oh, very clever. Lexi, I presume?

Well, now you've got that out of your systems,

you can get back to work.

You will bring me the Crown Jewels in ten minutes. Understand?

We're not working for you, Gaunt.

That's Gran. And Dad and Benny!

They came to rescue you. I was expecting that, too.

Now they're my guests - and if you don't want something bad

to happen to them in, say, ten minutes,

do as you're told!

I try to make my visitors comfortable.

I can't offer any guest rooms, just a strong room.

A very strong room!

-Where is my sister? Speak!

-What have you done with Tom?

Thomas and Lexi are doing well. For now.

But should you try anything, I will, unfortunately,

have to dispose of them.

So try NOT to.

-No, listen!

-It's no good, Michael. No good.

Oh, what use were we to Tom?

Don't get upset, Mrs Crowe, cos I've got a plan.

What if it goes wrong? She's got our families.

That was her biggest mistake!

No-one will harm my blood kin while I live.

Time's up.

This plan is demeaning

to a Prince of Nekron.

Yeah, well, it's also our only hope.

That woman could be doing anything to Tom - and Lexi, come to that!

But I have not prepared as Lexi did.

I cannot act like a... human!

Do what I told you to do, say what I told you to say, and it will work!

Adams! Open the door!

-Adams!

-Ma'am?

How did you get in there?

The alien genius, Varg, and his sister, Lexi, are behind it!

They teleported me into that cell

and teleported the Wizard scum to a place called Ipswich!

-Ipswich? But Ma'am!

-Do not question me.

Gather your fleshy servants - guards! All of them. Every one.

You must do this personally and keep comms silent.

The aliens monitor the primitive signalling devices we use!

Then get into your vans, GV12 FRK included,

and set course for Ipswich. Maximum power!

Give me that!

You three. With me. Quickly!

Code 15! Ipswich, repeat, Ipswich!

Well? I'm waiting.

All security systems in this London Tower have been disabled.

You may proceed.

Good. Now, cast your spell, wizard.

Bring the Crown Jewels to me!

Ben-eee-sherr-wood,

master of smoke,

you are such a brilliant bloke!

You'll pay for this, you can't escape.

-GUARDS! GUARDS!

-Move back.

Sorry, Gaunt, but you wanted magic.

Let me out!

We must find out where Gaunt's got the others.

You must find them, Tom Clarke, but take care around Varg!

What? Aren't you coming?

The scan - Gaunt has information about the Nekross,

which no human should ever possess.

It is my imperative duty to find it and destroy it.

I understand. So, we split up?

Couldn't be more obvious, could it, Tom Clarke?

That our destinies lie in different directions?

So, the next time we see each other, are we friends or enemies?

What exactly are we now, Tom?

Isn't that the door to outside?

We don't want that door. We have to find Tom!

Some rescue party you lot turned out to be!

Tom, you're safe!

Nekross files deleted!

Wizard files deleted!

A delicious reunion for my allies.

Now, where is my sister?

Easy now, she's safe.

Varg to Zarantulus! I shall soon return.

With Wizards!

I've a feeling our coalition's over.

I knew we couldn't trust him.

Indeed. My father will be happy to dissolve our coalition

face to face, but that only requires Tom Clarke and the hag.

You humans can be disintegrated here and now.

But we helped you.

What?

What happened to him?

I don't know, Benny.

Maybe that teleport thing charged itself up again, and he...

Oh, shush the lot of you. Let's get out of this awful place

before he comes back. Come on! Mush! Come on.

Goodbye, Tom Clarke.

I had them in my power, Father! But a...

a teleport malfunction robbed me of them.

-Where is Lexi?

-I am here, Father.

Sister. You are safe!

Daughter! You have returned to me.

And I bring with me a human

that dared imprison a Princess of Nekron!

I... It was a mistake, Your Majesty.

The fault of your enemy - the Wizard.

We could work together on this - get revenge.

You interest me. Step closer.

I am a rich woman.

I'd be able to invest a considerable amount of money

in a scheme to capture him.

Come. Closer still.

We'd naturally be equal partners in this scheme.

Partners?

Closer, closer.

Come.

You see, I like to know where I stand.

Directly above the Skorpulus pit.

I could eat that all over again!

Tom can cook you up an egg, no problem.

He does smoke bombs as well.

Based on my secret recipe, right, Tom?

Yeah.

You've both been such brave boys. All the things you've been through!

At least we're a long way away from the Nekross now!

Glad to be away from that poor excuse for a planet?

So, the next time we see each other, are we friends or enemies?

All I'm seeing is a little face.

That's Nekross tech.

What is that?!

A message.

-A Nekross signal.

-It could be a trap.

-Don't open it.

-Bingo!

Engage emergency protocols.

-We're going to bring down the Nekross?

-We must leave.

Nekross never run!

They've gone, they've gone forever.
