The Cave of Menla-Go Wizards vs Aliens

OK, so the biggest problem we've got is that magic

doesn't work on the Nekross.

But there's got to be a scientific reason for it.

Now, the magic inside you, yeah? It's a part of your...

BOTH: DNA.

-See, I'm listening.

-Well done!

But when you cast a spell, you have to use words to focus it.

So I want to try something.

So, come on, then, Professor Sherwood.

What do you want me to do?

You're going to do the same spell, three times, but we're going

to change how you're feeling to see if that makes a difference.

You want me to use all three of my spells?

I haven't even had breakfast yet.

Yeah, but if the experiment works, it'll be totally worth it, trust me!

I always do.

Bring on the...

TOY SQUEAKS

..science.

Now, aim a blast at the toy - keep it neutral!

Make your mind go completely blank. Imagine you're in double maths.

Shah-gann-dah!

'Fuzzy needs cuddles.'

And again. This time,

I want you to think about something that scares you.

Shah-gann-dah!

Nice!

Right, this time, aggression.

I want you to be angry, OK?

Think about what the Nekross have done. Think about your mum.

Shah-gann-dah!

Tom! Tom!

My hand. It hurts!

What have I done?

TOM PANTS

The scientific division have made their report.

Excellent. And?

Be ready to feast, sister, the Zeyton particle has been identified!

You are certain?

Can it be true?

We are ready to modify the ion pulse cannon.

Using Zeyton particles, we will be able to

pierce their protective shroud and locate every wizard on Earth.

This changes everything! The whole destiny of our people!

With the Zeyton particle identified, the war is won!

Our people will hunger no more!

SHE LAUGHS

THEY SPEAK EXCITEDLY

You louts! Buffoons! You made me start!

Such shocks, you clods, will end my heart!

Were-cats and vampire rats!

What disaster will you be bringing to the chamber of Crowe now?

Tom's been dabbling.

His spell backfired and turned into grim magic -

he's injured himself with his own spell.

Randal Moon will be a-seeing the hurt.

No!

What is it?

It'll be the Devastation.

-The Devastation?

-What's the Devastation?

It'll be what it'll be sounding like!

Dad, I can't feel my hand.

Technician. You will explain the Zeyton particle to me.

Your Majesty.

While most magic has no effect on our superior Nekross bodies and

technology, there are some spells that even we cannot penetrate.

Such as the shroud which hides all the wizards of the world from us.

For some time we have been working on identifying a particle

that can disintegrate such solid magic -

the long-fabled Zeyton particle.

And thanks to the valuable data from his most excellent highness,

the Prince...we have located it!

Technician, has the ion pulse cannon been modified?

It has, Your Eminence.

And the Zarantulus is due to enter Earth's orbit.

Today we will locate every single wizard on Earth.

Every drop of magic will be mine.

We have won, Father, the wizards are ours!

I don't get it. How many times do I have to tell you?

You've got to be more careful with your magic.

-We were doing an experiment.

-You're doing a what-i-ment?

I thought I could study magic, you know, like any other form of energy.

What will you be talking about? It'll be magic.

You will never be understanding of it.

So you did this?

-Dad, I...

-Tom, I expect you to be hot-headed.

-You mean stupid?

-No, of course not.

But, Benny, you're supposed to be the sensible one!

Instead, you provoked Tom into this.

You're messing about with something you don't understand!

-It was an accident, Mr Clarke!

-Blaming people won't solve anything.

Oh, these books, I can't find a thing!

It's OK, Gran. We'll sort it.

-The Devastation...it's...

-Ursula?

It's all right, Gran. I want to know the truth.

It's serious.

OK. Well...let's...let's do something, then.

I'm taking you to a hospital.

-Michael...

-Dad, it's magic.

-I don't care what it is!

Ursula, do something. Please...

There's always...

-No, we can't...

-Ursula, what is it?

-I don't even know how we'd find it.

-Find what? Tell me.

It's a legend.

Menla-gto...

..the Cave of Healing.

Healing would be good.

They say the cave was forged centuries ago

but I've never heard of anyone ever finding it.

Will you be speaking of Menla-gto, Mistress?

And will you be telling them of where it is said to be?

And that we'll not be knowing if it'll be real or a myth?

Will you be telling them of the danger?

I was going to!

So where is this place?

-Tibet.

-Tibet?!

-A holiday in Tibet. Sounds nice.

Moon, you will have to send us there.

Where is it? Where in Tibet?

They say it's remote, high up on the Tibetan plateau.

That sounds dangerous.

The imp will be speaking the truth of it.

And then there will be the getting back.

You mean you could be stuck there?

A passing charm is a one-way ticket.

Well, I'd rather be stuck in Tibet with a healthy son

than just sitting here.

I'm coming with you, Ursula, so don't even try and...

stop me.

Be readying, for Randal Moon will be creating the passing charm.

You boys, you look after each other.

Lock up on your way out.

But I could come with you!

I think you've done enough.

But what you're really saying is...

FIZZING

..you might not be able to get back!

I'll miss you, mate.

Don't worry, Benny. Have a little faith.

The charm will be crescending!

Randal Moon will be wishing you all the luck of the Leprechauns!

Are you OK?

This is...so awesome, Gran.

See! There's magic nearby!

It must be Menla-gto!

Everything's going to be OK.

-Lexi, report!

-Orbit of Earth confirmed!

Technician 15, report!

The ion pulse cannon is ready, Your Excellency.

Then do it. Begin the destruction of the shroud.

Ion pulse cannon engaging...

Zeyton particles firing... NOW!

It is working!

The shroud is weakening, Your Excellencies.

EXPLOSIVE RUMBLING

Something will be happening!

The Shroud of Protection!

Increase the strength of the ion pulse beam.

Maximum power!

RATTLING

MOON SCREAMS

Oh, my goodness!

What is it? What are you looking at?

The shroud!

I can't see anything!

You're not a wizard, Michael!

And right now, that's something you should be grateful for!

Why? What's happening?

The Shroud of Protection...

..it's breaking up!

It must be the Nekross! But how? What have they done?

I don't know, Thomas, but every wizard will be at their mercy!

OK. But we've got to concentrate on Tom.

We've got to find that cave. And maybe there you'll both be safe.

No-one is safe now.

As soon as we cast a spell, they'll find us.

They will no longer need to cast a spell for us to locate them.

The Zeyton technology means we can find them wherever they hide.

Do it! I hunger!

The Network of Mirrors will not be working!

The Shroud of Protection will be destroyed

and the Unworld Ones will be a-finding all the wizards!

Then we've got to stop them! You and me, together!

Benjamin Sherwood and Randal Moon?

A hobgoblin and a science geek. Surely we can try!

I'll be having nothing to do with your scientrickery!

You will be going home, Unenchanted imp.

My friends are on the other side of the world

and the Nekross are coming and you think I'm just going to go home?

No way. We've got to try and do something!

First, I want our enemy Tom Clarke located.

He's a hero to wizard-kind and his destruction will cause them

to fall and weep.

Technician Jathro 15, locate Tom Clarke.

Yes, My Excellency.

You OK, Ursula?

It's so cold, Michael.

I'm so tired.

SHE WHIMPERS

And I just don't think I have the knees for mountaineering.

Come on. I'll give you a hand.

No, Michael. Tom needs your help more than me...

He's the one you have to get to Menla-gto.

-Just keep going in that direction.

-What do you mean?

I'm slowing you down, Michael. And they could be coming. Any time.

I'm not leaving you behind!

Please, just go!

Ursula, listen to me.

You don't just live with us because you're Helen's mum or

because I need you to teach Tom magic.

You live with us because...you're my friend.

My best, best friend, OK?

I love you and I'm not leaving you. I'm not leaving either of you.

I can smell...

I can smell roses!

Who's that?

I can feel her in my mind.

She's come to show us the way!

Like roses...

Where did she go?

The Spirit of Menla-gto.

Give me something to do! I've got a brain, you know!

Your science will have caused the Devastation in the young master!

Your technockery will be destroying the Shroud!

OK, A, that was Tom's Magic and, B, this isn't my technockery!

-It's the Nekross!

-You will all be the same!

We're not! Let me do something! Science could help magic!

Never! I'll be finding a way!

SPLASH!

Right, so you need to rebuild the shroud, yeah?

But it took three of you to create it.

The Spell of Three...

ALL: Raa-shey-dah!

What of it?

There's only one of you! You literally can't do this by yourself.

Will you be suggesting that you

and Randal Moon will be working together?

The little guys, yeah?

If we'll be making my magic bigger...

Not just bigger. We need to multiply it!

We need to cube it! You see, it's just science! It's maths!

-There will be no maths in here!

-OK, OK, it's magic.

So, we need something magical that could multiply your magic by three!

You'll be waiting...

Randal Moon will be searching...

Will this be sufficing?

What is it?

A mirror of enchantment! It will have three planes,

one, two, three...

..but I will be needing to cast my spell into it.

It will once be belonging to an ancient wizard called

Old Jacob Robin.

He will have been keeping it in the village of Millingdale.

-It'll be near here?

-Yes! Now, come on!

You'll not be a-seeing?

Seeing what?

I will be Randal Moon, Guardian of the Chamber and to it I'll be bound.

-I will never be leaving it.

-What?

I cannot ever be leaving the chamber.

-What, never?!

-Never ever, ever!

Many years ago, the great wizard Caractacus Crowe will be

saving me from the Dragon of Moonfall Pass.

I'll then be devoting my life to the Crowe bloodline.

I will be this chamber's guardian.

Can't you just put a lock on the door or something?

It'll be my magic keeping the chamber here.

Without Randal Moon, it'll be sliding into the Neverside.

Wait, what about Stickley?

Remember, you must be addressing him in rhyme.

Please will you help, and guard this place?

We've to stop those guys in space!

Well, let me out, young handsome boy! For I'm an honest Hobbledehoy!

Mmm. Mmm?

I will not be trusting him.

Yeah, on second thoughts, not a good idea. Right.

So to go out and get this mirror,

we need to convince the chamber that you're still here?

And you believe your science will be a-finding a way to do that?

Why not? I've just got to figure out how it all works.

Destruction of shroud at 20%.

Exquisite Excellencies, I have isolated

Tom Clarke's DNA from our previous encounters with him.

-Behold!

-Behold.

Where is that place?

It is a sector known as Tibet in the continent of Asia.

He is far from home!

Already he plots against us!

I shall transport down at once.

No, brother, I shall go.

Tom Clarke is still a worthy opponent and I shall treat him

with respect,

and ensure he is brought back alive, for extraction.

Guard, we are going to Tibet.

The chamber, it's held here by you. Specifically you?

I will be important! I will be the guardian!

It could be your DNA.

Yeah.

Or your mass!

If we had a magical creature that had the same mass as you...

-that might do it!

-And how will you be doing that, imp?

Will you be popping over to the Neverside for one?

No, don't you see it? It's E = MC squared. Eureka!

DNA? EMC? Eureka?! Will you be sick, imp?

We need to create enough magical energy to equal your mass.

It's Einstein's theory of relativity!

Einstein? Whostein? Whatstein?

He was a total genius. A physicist.

A fizzy drink? Will you be talking of lemonade now?!

Look, how much do you weigh?

That will be a question most personal!

Mass is proportional to energy, so if we can fill the chamber with

enough magical energy to equal your mass, it'll think you're still here!

What will be the meaning of these words?

Just trust me! Science and magic working together.

It's always a winner!

Where's she gone? I thought she was showing us the way!

She was a vision. We're here.

I can't see any cave!

It's hidden. Like the chamber.

So how are we meant to find it?

I have no idea.

So you're about 50kg

which means we need to create...

..1.25 petawatts.

That's about the power of 2.5 million lightning bolts!

Will that be all?

It's impossible!

-HE SCOFFS

-Psh! Be standing back!

Ah! Whoa!

A new guardian.

Designed by science and created by magic.

I'll be naming him Einstein.

You'll be guarding the chamber, Mr Einstein.

Let's go, Moon.

Ah!

-Come on, then.

-I...I...I will not be knowing...

I should be in the chamber, imp. I should be guarding it.

It will be...who I am.

I have never been out here before.

Things change. People change.

If I can cope with a spaceship and a magic chamber,

then you can cope with a hallway.

I'll be doing it! I'll be doing it!

WHOOSHING

WHOOSHING

I will not have left the chamber in 500 years.

I am back in the world of the Unenchanted, the Dayside!

Young imp, you will be a miracle! Your science will be magical!

We will...

-What be that?

-It's just a light.

Will that be electricity? Ooh, I'll never have seen electricity before!

But why will you be using it?

Fire would be giving you light and warmth!

It's safer. It's...

Moon?

It will be so smooth and blue but it will not be smelling of sapphires?

-Don't be daft! It's just paint.

-And what'll paint be?

I'll explain on the way.

But we've got to go and find this mirror! Come on!

Why won't they be having a cauldron?

How will the mistress be a-boiling and a-bubbling?

I'll explain about microwaves when we get back.

What will this be?

-DIALLING TONE

-A noise... It'll be alive?!

It's a telephone.

I will have been hearing of telephones!

They will be like the scrying mirror.

There will be nobody here right now so you will be leaving a message.

Good day to you.

The sky, it is being so vast.

Perhaps Randal Moon should be staying indoors after all.

Come on, Moon, if a mere imp like me can do it...

But we've still got a big problem.

What?

Will you be a-saying there'll be something wrong with my face?

No. I think it looks fine. It's just other people might find it scary.

Then Randal Moon will be casting a charm of concealment.

Wait. How many spells have you used?

We have to make sure you've still got one left for the shroud.

Ah, imp, you'll be forgetting. I'll not be wizard-kind.

I'll be a Hobgoblin - a creature of pure magic.

We'll be having as many spells as we'll be wanting.

OK, come on. Do your stuff.

By the light of day a-seeing I'll be concealed from other beings.

I can still see you.

Of course, or you'll be a-tripping over me, imp,

you'll be seeing me but other Unenchanteds will not.

I hope you're right about this -

don't say anything or do anything, just keep walking.

Morning.

La-la-la-la!

It wasn't me.

I mean, sorry, it won't happen again.

Will it?

And stop calling me an imp.

Now let's get that enchanted mirror.

Tom! Come on, Tom! Keep those eyes open!

Dad...

Tom! Snap out of it! Come on! There's a cave of healing, remember.

What's it called?

-Menla-gto.

-Menla-gto.

-Bless you.

Now, just stay awake, yeah?

You should let him sleep...

..then he will be spared the agony of extraction.

What? But how did you find us? I didn't cast a spell!

You saw me, Michael, I didn't cast a spell.

We don't need you to, old woman.

You are merely the first of many to be caught unaware.

Guard. Disintegrate the man.

The wizards will be transported to the Zarantulus

and their magic extracted! The Earth belongs to the Nekross!

Fire!

GUN ZAPS

Take the boy into Menla-gto.

Fire!

GUN ZAPS

Come on, Tom.

This is the last time, Tom Clarke.

This will be our final battle!

It's ice, but...

..it's not...it's not cold.

It's beautiful.

Let's get him out of that coat.

Who are you?

I'm sorry. We need your help. I'm Ursula.

This is Michael, and this is Tom.

My name is Tseringma.

Forgive me, but we have no time to waste.

The boy, he suffers.

Place him on there.

This devastation is of his own making.

Shouldn't we do something?

This is the water of the eternal mountain.

It has such magic it will ease his suffering.

Such sadness in you.

You have seen so much for one so young.

And yet, you still have wonder.

You still have hope.

The shroud.

I've got to get better. They need me.

The world needed me once, but I was forgotten.

Menla-gto was forgotten.

How long have you been here?

I was singing songs with my family

when the white snow lion came for me.

He brought me here.

I used to stand on top of the mountain and watch the world,

but seeing so many pass on made me sad.

So many? You don't look that old.

No older than my gran, anyway.

Cheeky!

I am 3,003 years old, child.

You are the first to enter this place in centuries.

That's incredible!

So few have faith in the Source any more.

Menla-gto used to shine so brightly, but the faith is dying.

But it'll still work?

It'll still save Tom, yeah?

An Unenchanted? Perhaps you should join us.

But, tell me, what are those creatures out there?

She's an alien from another world.

The Nekross.

What has happened?

What ARE you?

Me and Tom, we're just wizards, Tseringma.

And out there, creatures from beyond the sky?

HE GASPS

When I'll have been young, all this will have been fields!

Where will they be now?

-They're... Well, they're under the road, I guess.

-Oh!

HE SNIFFS

It'll have been mined from a very odd mountain.

No, Moon, it's man-made. It's stone mixed with tar.

My feet will be liking its smoothness.

It's so cool to be with someone

who's actually interested in this stuff!

Who'll not be interested in how things work?!

You'll have opened my eyes to the wonders of this road!

BRAKES SCREECH Lizards' tails and banshees' wails!

What will be that creature of noise and terror?

That'll be the bus.

You'll be explaining that!

(It's a handbag.)

A handbag?

-HE WHISPERS

-People - well, girls, mostly -

use them to carry their things. Like a potion pouch.

Like my backpack.

That'll be HER handbag. This'll be MY handbag.

That'll be YOUR handbag.

No! Mine's a backpack!

You really know as little about my world as I know about yours?

Magnetism, atomic power, gravity.

It's all to do with how physical forces interact with each other,

based on their mass.

The bigger an object is, the closer you are to it,

the stronger its gravitational pull.

Mass! Like E = MC squared! Your friend, Einstein!

Exactly!

This will be having Randal Moon all of a fascination.

If I could be understanding of it, think what I could do!

SENSOR WHIRS

This is not rock. It is magic.

Pure, primal magic.

WATCH BLEEPS Lexi to Varg.

Recalibrate two blasters with the Zeyton particle

and transport them to me. Quickly!

This is all my fault.

I wanted to find a way we could use magic to stop the Nekross.

But that will be a good thing. We must always be trying.

-You'll be wise, for an Unenchanted.

-Am I?

You'll know of such wonders!

I'll never have been knowing science.

It will have been...alien to me.

-HE LAUGHS

-Like magic was to me, Moon!

Sorry, but why does everyone call you by your surname?

I could call you Randal.

I'll be liking you, Benjamin.

So you may be choosing.

You'll be naming me what you will.

Oh, thanks. I like Moon. It's fun.

Moon it'll be, then, Benjamin.

Benny. Call me Benny. If you like.

Benny. Now, you will be telling me more of your scientrickery!

Er, OK! How about DNA?

Nothing's happening.

Menla-gto was forged by magic, and magic kept it alive for centuries.

But as faith in magic fades,

-so does its power.

-I believe in magic.

You believe in it, but you don't want to.

I can see it in your mind.

You wish there was no magic.

If there wasn't magic, I'd still have a wife.

I wouldn't be losing my boy.

You must have your own faith in Tom.

But magic caused this. How can I have faith in that?

It's not magic that you have to believe in. It's Tom.

Your son Tom.

Tom who, as a boy, fell out of trees because he kept climbing too high.

Tom, who raced to help his mother, but was too young to save her.

Tom, who gets so confused

trying to keep you and Ursula and Benny and Katie and Quinn

and the others happy and, yet, he never stops trying.

You have to have faith in Tom.

(Tom.)

Can you save him?

Menla-gto means "enchanted healing place," but its power has waned.

I have strived to keep its essence alive,

but it may no longer be enough to save the boy.

-TOM STIRS

-Dad?

Sh. Everything's going to be fine.

I thought I heard Mum's voice.

HE SIGHS

I have faith in you, Tom.

Randal Moon will be all of a foolish

for not realising that science will be a good thing.

Will we be needing science to find Old Jacob Robin's house?

Well, you know what a GPS is?

Well, you'll be knowing what a Heffpalonk is?

Sorry, stupid question.

Global Positioning System - GPS.

Things I want to find are marked on it,

and it tells me when I get closer to them.

Can't you use magic to find magic?

A divining staff!

Yeah, that sounds like the kind of thing!

Which, which, which?

A-ha!

GPS, Benny! Great Pointing Sticks!

The Great Fire of London - it was caused by a dragon?

He'll have been a very naughty dragon.

He'll have thought there were puddings in Pudding Lane.

-HE LAUGHS

-Everyone likes pudding!

But he will not have been understanding

the world of the Unenchanted.

He will not have been understanding science like Randal Moon will!

We'll be using my magic and your science!

A-ha!

What? Have you found it?

That will not be Old Jacob Robin's house!

No.

They've gone and built a church right on top of it.

-This will be a place of worship?

-Yeah.

I've only been to churches on school trips, really.

My family aren't religious.

You won't be believing in things that science won't be proving.

I don't know.

I mean, most people don't believe in aliens or magic.

I'll not have been believing in science.

Sometimes I wonder if it's nice not to be so sure of everything.

To think that maybe there's more than you can see.

It gives people hope.

I'll be having faith in magic. You'll be having faith in science.

-He'll be having faith in religion.

-Exactly.

We've all got to have something to believe in,

and right now, I believe in us.

Right, you go looking for this mirror.

Using your Great Pointy Sticks!

Please let Tom be OK.

Please.

Benny! Benny! I'll be finding it!

Will this be part of the religion?

It's a local mystery.

Nobody knows where the mirror's from,

but, apparently, whenever they try and move it out of the church,

it ends up back here.

It'll be staying here, waiting for us!

Let's not waste any more time, then.

Do the spell to the mirror and it'll cube your powers.

Cube? You will be saying this before.

What'll be cubing?

In maths, the cube of a number is the number

multiplied by itself twice.

And that's what the mirror will do to your magic.

Science will be helping magic!

First, we'll be waking the mirror.

MAGICAL CHIME

-Magic detected! Powerful magic!

-MACHINE BLEEPS

Oh, there is no need to recalibrate

the sensors or send down the tracker-bots.

I shall transport there immediately.

Capture it, my son! Bring it to me!

You'll be standing back, Benny.

Raa...shey...

GLASS SMASHES

HE LAUGHS

The runt and Tom Clarke's pet!

Pet?! I will be no pet!

Moon! Run! Get out of here now!

He wants your magic!

-HE CHUCKLES

-Pathetic!

WHIRRING

No magic can withstand the power of the Zeyton particle.

Tom Clarke is finally ours.

-FIRE!

-GUN ZAPS

What is this? What's happened?

ROCKS SHUDDER

They have so much power to penetrate the magic of Menla-gto.

We can't let them get in here!

The world might have lost its faith in magic, but we have not!

Tom? Can you hear me?

I should... I should...

I should be brave...

..but I'm scared.

Dad, I'm so scared.

There's nothing to be scared about, OK?

Just stay awake, you hear me?

Tom? Just stay with me.

Please.

I can hear Mum's voice...

Tom?

Tom...

Michael... Move away from him.

No, Ursula. Don't do this.

I'm old. He's got his life ahead of him.

Ursula?

You need him, Michael.

Magic needs him!

What are you doing?

I'll give him my life-force. He'll live...

I'll be with Helen.

That'll be nice, won't it?

HE GASPS

Tseringma, what are you doing?

Child, will you ever destroy the Nekross?

I can't... I'll stop them...

I'll save the world...

..but I can never kill them.

They're people, not monsters.

Then you ARE the future, and I have faith in you.

The time of Menla-gto may have passed...

but not the time of magic.

I give you my life.

You must survive to save this world.

I have faith in you...

as you have faith in me.

And faith can move mountains.

They have surrendered.

Tom?!

What happened?

You're going to be fine. He's going to be fine, isn't he?

I'm alive!

I'm warm and I can breathe and...I'm alive!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Enjoy your celebration while you can, Tom Clarke.

Don't give up, Moon!

You've got all that amazing magic and you can do anything.

-Remember everything I've taught you!

-Silence!

DNA! GPS! E = MC squared.

Exactly! Come on, think about what you've learned.

Einstein wouldn't just give up.

How will I be stopping it?

It'll be extracting the magic from my DNA,

opening the genetic matrices and polarising the...

-You're understanding it! Magic and science, Moon!

-Eureka!

Guard! Silence the runt!

Get off me! Get off!

And you! Magic cannot harm us.

But Randal Moon will be magic and science combined!

Spells and science!

Magic and maths! I'll be all of these things!

And I'll be using them!

The magic of a passing charm and the science of YOUR teleporter!

Ha!

Ridiculous creature! Let me out!

Gravity!

I will be changing the structure of the metal...

Magnetism!

THEY LAUGH

So this is it.

And you don't feel a thing?

You believe I would have, what?

Pitied you because we worked together in the past?

We worked together to save ourselves.

And you proved to me you weren't just a...monster.

Come on, Lexi. Can't you feel what's in this mountain?

The whole weight of it!

What is it?

Faith.

This cave and this mountain have survived thousands of years

because one woman believed it should.

And I know magic can't affect you, Lexi, but...

what about faith?

OK, Moon, what about the Shroud?

I'll have been thinking of that. E = MC squared!

I'll be using magic on my DNA!

Eureka!

Will you be liking my power, Benny?

Is this safe?

Three will be the magic number. We'll be using the Spell of Three!

We'll be using the Nekross technology

to be a-powering the Shroud stronger than before!

Raa-shey-zah-dah!

You will never be destroying the Shroud again. It will be invincible!

We'll have done it! And now we'll be destroying the Nekross!

Eureka!

But that's murder!

He's going to destroy us all!

Moon! You've got to stop now!

The sky ship will be exploding!

They'll have destroyed the lives of so many!

But, Moon, you can't become like them! This is dangerous!

You don't know what you're doing!

I will be Randal Moon, saviour and destroyer.

No! You don't need to be!

Please.

They are monsters! But will we be becoming monsters, as well?

We'll be...bad Moons!

I'm terrified. I just want to go home.

Just do one spell.

Get all of us home - me, Tom, everyone.

Randal Moons will be ending this for good!

Oh, why will we not?

Because you're not a monster. You're Randal Moon.

The Nekross abandoned superstition centuries ago.

But you must still have faith?

Faith in your father...

or your brother...

-or your people.

-Of course I have faith in them!

But you have faith in a mountain.

I have faith in my dad and my gran,

who got me here.

I have faith in Benny,

who is the best friend I could ever have.

I have faith in magic.

And the human race.

And you sincerely believe in all of them?

This cold, hard universe will make fools of us all.

I am sorry.

Truly sorry.

You can have your faith, Tom Clarke, but tell me,

how will it save your life?

No answer? Nothing?

So, your faith did not save you after all?

As my friend will be wishing it, so Randal Moon will be making it.

All things will be where they should be.

Home again and one again!

Goodbye, Moon. Goodbye, Moon. Farewell, Moons!

How, Tom Clarke?

How did you do this?

AAAAARRRGHHH!

You saved everyone, Benjamin!

Please, Mrs Crowe, you're crushing me.

Just accept it, Benny. She's never letting you go.

It was mostly Moon.

We will be a-saving the world!

We will be using magic and science!

-Oh, will you?

-And he'll be teaching me all about magic.

-We're going to be working together!

-You mean, really?

You could really find a way to end all this?

-BOTH:

-Yes!

-That is actually spectacular!

-I know!

Just...one thing. If you're out here, who's guarding the Chamber?

Einstein!

We will be creating a new Guardian using E = MC squared!

They're both geniuses, Gran!

Yes. Yes, they are.

'Chamber of Crowe, open to me,

'reveal yourself on the knock of three.'

KNOCKING

First we will be doing more experiments.

Yeah, the big thing we need is some Nekross DNA.

I'll be a-fetching that for you.

We'll be using the DNA to...

DNA?

We'll be using it to...?

Moon?

-DNA?

-Yeah.

You know, DNA!

Dragons...Neverside...Antelopples?

What? No! You know, DNA!

What we're all made of.

Randal Moon will be made of magic, not of your strange letters, imp!

Why will you be coming to the Chamber with your scientrickery?

DNA?

There'll be no part of that in Randal Moon's thinking!

Science doesn't work in the Chamber, Benny.

Your phone doesn't work, your computers don't work.

He's a person, not a machine!

Moon is a creature of pure magic.

His mind can't hold on to it.

Well, that's fine, we'll take him out again. We need him!

We can use him against the Nekross!

And turn him into a weapon?

No! I mean...

I don't know.

After everything we've been through today.

After everything Tom's been through...

..nobody should be a weapon, Benny.

It's not that...

He was my friend.

I'm sorry.

I'll be needing a hand with the making of some potions.

Quicksticks!

Come and be helping me, imp.

Or should I be saying...

-Benny?

-You remember my name!

I'll be forgetting the science, but not the important things.

Now, hurry, hurry, hurry!

Let's be seeing if Randal Moon can be teaching you a trick or two!

Jathro to Control. Jathro to Control.

I'm sending you the requested security footage.

As you will observe, the King was powerless to stop this incursion.

'Indeed. But fear not, my child.

'Soon the burden of your responsibilities will be over.'

And I will be rewarded?

'As you deserve, and as will we all.

'For the greater good, Jathro.

'Soon this will all change,

'for the greater good!'

Fight magic with magic!

Mum, what are they going to do to us?

Don't think about it, Gemma.

You mean the Neverwas?

Behold, the Neverwas.

The spell that will break Tom Clarke and Benny Sherwood up.

Serangaah-coptasch-balla...

-What's happening?

-It's magic..

Dah! Landashen-verah...

unchall-DAH!
