Act I[]
(1) THE GREAT NORTH ROAD[]
It is a beautiful morning as sunlight filters through the trees of the Great Northwoods. Gwen rides Sunstar with Archie sitting facing backwards on Sunstar's rump. Fallon rides Moondance, and Tamara rides Shadowsong. They wave to other travelers on horses and in wagons all heading in the same direction.
FALLON
We should be close by now.
TAMARA
Just follow the crowd. This fortune teller has become famous.
ARCHIE
Looks like the entire kingdom is coming to see her.
GWEN
Wouldn't it be great to know the future. I could tell if someone else were wearing the same dress as I am to a dance.
TAMARA
I could tell if my performance was going be a hit.
FALLON
Oh, I don't know. I like to be surprised.
In the distance a cloud of dust approaches moving at great speed through the forests.
FALLON
(Hand to brow)
Something up ahead and moving fast.
Dust billows from the sparkly thing as it bears down on the Jewel Riders.
SUNSTAR
Gwen, strong wild magic!
GWEN
Wild magic! Jewel Riders, stand ready!
The three girls take a defensive position. Tamara to the left, Fallon to the right, Gwen in the center. Archie jumps on to Sunstar's head to try and see what's coming.
ANGLE - we see a huge dust ball ripping through the woods. It screams toward the Jewel Riders. (It looks like the "Tasmanian Devil" meets a "Rat Fink")
GWEN
Jewel Power! By the magic of the Sun Stone!
Gwen and Sunstar power up! They leap into action.
TAMARA
By the Magic of the Heart Stone!
Tamara powers up! They leap into action.
FALLON
By the magic of the Moon Stone!
Fallon and Moondance power up! They leap into action.
The thing is almost on them. Gwen fires her Sun Stone. The golden beam extends into a shield. The rat fink runs right through the shield, spinning in an explosion of magical bits.
Fallon fires her Moon Stone and forms a wall to block it. The rat fink tumbles up the wall, spinning end over end and landing back on its spinning feet. It whirls around and attacks. Tamara fires her Heart Stone, forming a giant harp. The instrument strums out magic musical notes that surround the thing, carrying it up into the air.
GWEN
Sunstar, take us up!
Gwen takes off, flying up. Gwen fires out her golden lasso, whirling it around like a bolo. The beam encircles the thing. Sunstar pulls back and pulls it down.
GWEN
Now!
The three girls and unicorns fire together.
GWEN/TAMARA/FALLON
We call on the magic of the Crown Jewels!
The thing falls to the girls and just before it hits them, dissipates into a thousand magical bits and disappears.
FALLON
That was some magic!
TAMARA
Do you think it's coming from the fortune teller?
GWEN
Let's find out!
The girls take off towards the clearing ahead of them.
CUT TO:
(2) AERIAL - THE GREAT NORTHWOODS - DAY[]
The Dragon Wagon swoops over the trees of the Great Northwoods.
The Dweasels have their noses out sniffing the air for wild magical bits. The Dragon Wagon flies through a bunch of magic multi-colored bubbles. The Dweasels sniff in a few bubbles.
RUFUS
Ooo, ooo, smell that? Tangy, yet pungent!
Rufus blows out a big bubble.
TWIG
Aromatic, yet fragrant!
Twig blows out a bubble.
KALE
WHAT WHAT WHAT!!!
The two bubbles burst on either side of Kale's head - POP!
RUFUS
Magic!
TWIG
Wild magic!
KALE
Dooh, Grimm, take us in!
The dragon wagon soars towards the clearing up ahead.
CUT TO:
(3) EXT. - CLEARING IN THE WOODS - DAY[]
PAN - across a long row of people standing in line down to get into the Fortune Teller's wagon. It is open for business.
A giant magic screen projects out of the top of the wagon like a big projection TV so that the crowd standing in line can watch the incredible Fortune Stone spin out the fortunes of those inside.
EZMERLEDA
(over microphone)
Spin, spin, will your luck rule? Learn your fate, with Madame Esmeralda's magic Fortune Jewel.
The screen shows the jewel spinning. It comes to a stop lighting up bright blue. A magical carriage appears.
A farmer walks out of the tent to find the magical carriage waiting for him.
FARMER
Just what I wanted, a new carriage!
CROWD
Yea!!
It rolls after him, smiling to the crowd. As the farmer passes the girls, Fallon puts her hand on the carriage and it goes right through it.
FALLON
Not very sturdy...
GWEN
Not very real!
TAMARA
Wild magic!
A boy walks by followed by a magical dog with a blue ribbon.
Archie turns and the dog walks right through him.
ARCHIE
Doot!
Farmer 2 exits the tent followed by the ghost of some incredible corn stalks; he is grinning from ear to ear and he tells the waiting crowd:
FARMER 2
Lookee my fortune! Best crop in the land!
We see the ghostly corn follow him dancing a jig.
The Jewel Riders ride to the front of the line, past the dancing corn.
GWEN
Excuse us, please.
CROWD
Wow, Princess Gwenevere!! Make way for the Princess!
GWEN
Hello, everyone. It's nice to see all of you.
CROWD
Good luck, Princess!
Gwen, Fallon, Tamara, and Archie walk into the tent.
CUT
(4) INT. FORTUNE TENT[]
Magical holographic images float around the room, treasures like jewelry, clothes, caravan wagons, etc.
A little old lady sits behind a table. She leaps to her feet as she recognizes the Princess of Avalon.
EZMERELDA
The Princess herself! Your Highness, you must let me tell your fortune. No charge, of course...
A black cat sits to the side of the tent on an ottoman observing. Archie looks over at it suspiciously. The cat glowers back.
GWEN
(Looking around at the floating magic images)
I've never seen fortunes like these, so full of wild magic.
EZMERELDA
(proud)
This jewel has been in my family for generations. We have always used it to tell wondrous fortunes.
Archie is inspecting the cat.
DEREK
hissss
ARCHIE
(Leaps back in surprise)
Doo!
EZMERELDA
(Acknowledging the cat)
Ever since my lucky cat came to me, business has been booming.
FALLON
(Nudging Gwen)
You did want your fortune told, Gwen.
GWEN
You first.
TAMARA
All right, tell my fortune, Ezmerelda.
Tamara sits at the table.
Ezmerelda holds out the Fortune Jewel, a top shaped jewel with different sides, each a different color. Ezmerelda spins the magic jewel and it blazes with magical light.
EZMERELDA
(Arms raised dramatically)
Diddly dum Dingly dee. Tell me Fortune Jewel, What do you see?
The jewel spins and a wild magic image projects out. Beautiful, jeweled musical instruments surround Tamara. Tamara stands and raises her hands like a conductor. The instruments swirl around her.
TAMARA
They're wonderful.
EZMERELDA
(Wondrous)
My Dear, you are destined to be the most famous musician Avalon has ever known.
TAMARA
That's so nice. Thank you.
The image vanishes.
FALLON
And what of my fortune?
Ezmerelda spins the Jewel again.
EZMERELDA
(Dramatically)
Magic Jewel spin round and round. Tell us what fortunes abound.
The jewel spins out an image of a jeweled bow. Fallon inspects the incredible archery bow.
EZMERELDA
You, my dear, will be the most famous adventurer in all of Avalon!
FALLON
(Smiling)
I like that.
GWEN
Are these really fortunes or are you just telling us things we want to hear?
EZMERELDA
Oh my, I assure you this jewel is quite magical. Princess, please, let me tell your fortune.
FALLON
(teasing)
You do have a special dress picked out for the ball tomorrow night.
GWEN
Very funny. All right.
Gwen sits in the chair as Ezmerelda spins the Jewel.
The Jewel spins out beautiful shades of gold and blue revealing an image of Crystal Palace Gardens, beautifully adorned and set for a major party. Gwenevere is standing next to her King as she is crowned Queen of Avalon. She wears the most magnificent wedding dress. The crown is placed upon her brow, her King turns to face us and -
A blaze of wild magic strikes from the jewel.
The Crystal Palace turns to black ice behind the gardens. A silver figure flies out of the wild magic.
ARCHIE
Doohickie!!
EZMERELDA
Oh my!!!
FALLON
Wild magic! Ezmerelda, stop it!
The little woman waves her hands at the magic.
EZMERELDA
I... I can't.
The jewel lifts up off the table and spins out the image of -
GWEN
What is this wild magic!!
The figure swoops in on a flying throne, revealing that it is Morgana.
MORGANA
The end is near! A great witch out of legend will appear to rule the magic of Avalon! Behold!
FLASH! The image changes to Gwenevere as "Cinderella," dressed in rags and mopping the palace floor with a bucket. Morgana flies overhead on her disk throne.
MORGANA
This is your fate, Princess Gwenevere! Bow to your new Queen!
ANGLE - The hypnotic magic plays across Gwen's face as she is held in its grip.
FALLON
Stop this at once!
EZMERELDA
I can't!!
Suddenly Derek the cat leaps through the air knocking the jewel to the floor. The image disappears.
ARCHIE
Doowop! I demand to know the meaning of this!
EZMERELDA
(Flustered)
Sometimes the jewel shows things that really mean something else...
TAMARA
Gwen, are you all right?
GWEN
I... don't know.
Archie is studying Derek again. The cat looks at him very coolly
ARCHIE
There's something very familiar about you.
DEREK
Meow, hss
ARCHIE
Doot!
TAMARA
Let's get Gwen some air.
The Jewel Riders move Gwen outside.
EZMERELDA
Oh, Derek, what have we done?!
DEREK
hss meow
CUT
(5) EXT. SHADY GROVE[]
A shady grove near the tent grounds. Tamara and Fallon sit a shaken Gwen onto a flower bench under a shady tree.
TAMARA
Easy Gwen, it's just a silly fortune.
GWEN
That felt so real, and so very near.
Archie paces back and forth.
ARCHIE
Dooo, there's something about that cat!
TAMARA
What is it, Archie?
ARCHIE
I don't quite know.
TAMARA
My Heart Stone didn't sense anything unusual about him.
ARCHIE
Still...
Fallon turns to disperse the crowd.
FALLON
(Addressing the crowd)
All right, the Fortune Jewel is closed for today. Everyone go home now.
CROWD
Oh!! Boo!! We want fortunes!!
ANGLE - Tamara and Fallon are dispersing the crowd as Kale peeps her head around the corner of the tent. Two Dweasel heads peep around with her. One looks one way, the other the other way, then they look at each other.
Kale sneaks into the tent. The Dweasels sneak behind her.
CUT TO:
(6) INT. FORTUNE TENT[]
Kale enters and stands tall. The Dweasels start sniffing about.
KALE
Well, well, isn't this charming. I want my fortune told!
EZMERELDA
I'm sorry, we're closed for today.
The Dweasels are sniffing about. They sniff right over Derek.
DEREK
Get away from me you filthy animals!!
RUFUS
Ah! Twig, a talking cat!
TWIG
Hey you cat, you stink!!
RUFUS
Yeah, wild magic!
DEREK
Get off me!!!
With an arch of his back, Derek tosses the Dweasels across the room.
DWEASELS
Ahhh!
Kale reaches out for the jewel - but when she touches it, she gets a big shock.
KALE
Ahh!!
Esmeralda grabs the jewel back.
EZMERELDA
No one touches this jewel except me!
KALE
Really...
Kale pulls out her Dark Stone.
At the sight of the Dark Stone, Derek leaps in surprise.
DEREK
What the?!
Kale whips the Dark Stone -
Derek leaps to the table and bats the jewel out of Ezmerelda's hand and into motion. The jewel goes spinning, spinning into the air. The spinning jewel draws the magic from the Dark Stone away from Ezmerelda.
Wild magic from the Dark Stone deflects off of the Fortune Jewel and explodes up and out the top of the tent, pulling the Dark Stone with it.
The Dark Stone is lifted into the air as Kale holds on.
KALE
What magic is this!!
EZMERELEDA
Oh no!
Rufus hangs on to Kale's leg while Twig hangs on to Rufus's as Kale is lifted into the air.
ANGLE - outside, rising above the tent.
KALE
Whatever this magic is, I will have it!
RUFUS
(Pointing)
Jewel Riders, Witchy Witch!
KALE
Grimm, come and get me!
Grimm comes swooping in, catching Kale in her Dragon Wagon.
CUT
(7) EXT - CLEARING IN THE WOODS - DAY[]
Wild magic outbreak! Blue flames explode out of the projection TV and into the clearing. Magical images from inside the tent rise and fly out into the clearing, including a few rat finks.
FALLON
(Getting up and pointing)
Wild Magic!
GWEN
Jewel Riders! Let's move!!
The unicorns charge to the Jewel Riders. Fallon does a running mount and leaps onto Moondance. Moondance rears -
FALLON
By the magic of the Moon Stone!
Powers up - and charges the wild magic apparitions. Gwen and Sunstar take to the skies.
GWEN
By the magic of the Sun Stone!
Powers up - and leap into the sky.
Tamara rears up on Shadowsong -
TAMARA
By the magic of the Heart Stone!
Powers up - and charges.
CUT TO:
(8) EXT. BEHIND THE FORTUNE TENT - DAY[]
Ezmerelda has the jewel as she runs out the back of her tent to her wagon. Derek follows.
EZMERELDA
Oh, Derek, what have we done?
DEREK
Hiss spit
Ezmerelda leaps to the wagon as it takes off down the North Road.
ANGLE - Jewel Riders ride into action against the wild magic outbreak. Tamara and Fallon take positions on their unicorns back to back, firing their jewel power. They dissipate the wild magic rat finks.
A giant wagon barrels down, out of control right towards the Jewel Riders as -
Gwen and Sunstar dive down and blasts the wagon to magical bits.
The three Jewel Riders contain all the wild magical bits and blast them to pixie dust.
FALLON
(Sees Ezmerelda's wagon barreling down the road)
Gwen! Ezmerelda is leaving!
GWEN
Let's clean up this mess first, then we'll follow her.
FALLON
Right!
TAMARA
We're not the only ones following!
Overhead, the Dragon Wagon swoops towards the receding fortune teller's wagon.
GWEN
Kale!
FALLON
Figures, where's there's a magic jewel, there's Kale.
TAMARA
And I'll bet Morgana's not far behind.
CUT TO:
(9) AERIAL[]
The Dragon Wagon flies over the Great Northwoods
KALE
That jewel has great magic!
Morgana appears in a puff of magic behind Kale's head.
MORGANA
A magic jewel, you say?
KALE
Ah!! Do you always have to show up like that?!
MORGANA
You should be used to it by now! So, where is this Jewel?
KALE
This fortune teller has it, then the Jewel Riders showed up!
MORGANA
Perhaps we need a little bait... We can get the jewel and get rid of the Jewel Riders once and for all.
KALE
I like it, what do you have in mind?
MORGANA
Ha ha ha!!
KALE
Ha ha hA HA HA!!!
CUT TO:
(10) EXT. MAGIC FORESTS - DAY[]
Deep in the woods, the wagon pulls to a stop.
Ezmerelda is lost as she looks around.
EZMERELDA
Where are we?
DEREK
Hss spit meow
Up ahead, the forest mists open to reveal an Inn near the side of the road.
EZMERELDA
Ah, a soft bed and a nice meal is just what we need.
DEREK
Hsss spit meow
EZMERELDA
Oh, come on Derek, don't be so ornery.
Ezmeralda pulls the wagon up to the Inn.
An innocuous-looking woman innkeeper appears in the open front door.
INNKEEPER
Welcome to Ye Ol Wild Inn. Come in and rest yer weary bones.
EZMERELDA
That sounds fine. Come on, Derek.
Derek turns away but an exasperated Ezmeralda grabs him by the tail and drags him in behind her.
DEREK
Argle!
(Scratching at the dirt)
Ezmerelda drags Derek inside as the door closes behind them.
ANGLE - The Jewel Riders ride into the clearing. They see the old woman's wagon sitting there.
FALLON
There's her wagon.
TAMARA
I've never heard of "Ye Ol Magic Inn"!?
GWEN
Let's check it out, but be careful.
The Jewel Riders approach the door but it magically vanishes before they have a chance to knock. With Jewels raised, the Jewel Riders enter. The door appears behind them, closing them inside. The entire Inn vanishes.
* * COMMERCIAL BREAK * *
Act II[]
(11) INT. WILD MAGIC INN - PARLOR[]
Esmerelda sits in an odd parlor-type room. Derek is pacing back and forth.
EZMERELDA
Derek, sit still. Relax.
A door appears in the wall. Rufus and Twig dressed as butlers walk in carrying a tray of tea.
RUFUS
Tea?
TWIG
For two?
Derek is startled by the Dweasels.
DEREK
Meowzir!
RUFUS
Hey, it's that talking cat!
TWIG
sniff
Twig is sniffing the cat for signs of wild magic.
DEREK
Eewwwww, disgusting.
BAT! Derek bats the Dweasels and chases them around the room.
Ezmerelda grabs the tray as the Dweasels run past.
EZMERELDA
Ah, delightful.
The Dweasels run out of the room.
RUFUS
Dumb cat!
TWIG
Stupid thing!!
CUT TO:
(12) INT. HALLWAY[]
The Jewel Riders walk down a long bizarre hallway. It is tilted at the weirdest angles.
FALLON
Does this entrance hall seem strange to you?
GWEN
This whole place seems strange.
Archie stops behind the group to examine what seems to be a door along the corridor. He opens it and looks -
The door opens to the infinite wild magic void.
ARCHIE
Doowah!
Archie slams it shut, turns with back to the door, wings outstretched to hold it closed.
GWEN
What is it, Archie?
ARCHIE
No, don't open that door!
Although Archie tries to hold it shut, Gwen opens the door and inside is - a "Pee Wee's Playhouse" fun house room.
ARCHIE
(Carefully looks inside)
Wait!! I- eh, oh-
FALLON
Seems safe enough.
ARCHIE
There's something very peculiar going on around here.
The Jewel Riders walk into the room, looking around.
<CLANK>
TAMARA
There's strong wild magic here.
GWEN
Stay sharp, let's find the fortune teller.
Suddenly the ceiling begins to lower.
TAMARA
(Looking around)
What was that?
FALLON
The ceiling is coming down!
They turn but the door they entered has disappeared.
GWEN
There's no way out!
The ceiling is lowering. Gwen and Tamara fire their jewels at the ceiling holding it steady.
TAMARA
(Straining)
The magic is too strong, we can't hold it!
GWEN
(Looking around)
There must be a way out!
Fallon is swinging her Moon Stone over the walls. The Moon Stone reveals a hidden door.
FALLON
Over there, a door!
GWEN
Hurry!
The Jewel Riders make for the door. Together they turn their Jewel Power on the spot and the door blasts open.
ARCHIE
Doo, be careful!
The Jewel Riders dive out of the door just as the ceiling slams down behind them.
CUT TO:
(13) PARLOR[]
Ezmerelda sits demurely eating crumb-buns. Derek is cleaning himself when the door opens and the Innkeeper appears.
INNKEEPER
Everything comfy?
EZMERELDA
Yes, quite.
Derek stops in mid-lick and looks at the Innkeeper suspiciously.
INNKEEPER
My, what a pretty kitty.
DEREK
Hssssss
Derek leaps up and knocks the Fortune Jewel from Ezmerelda's pocket. The Jewel spins around the room.
EZMERELDA
Derek, what are you doing?!
The jewel spins and wild magic flares out at the Innkeeper, revealing her to be Kale.
EZMERLEDA
(Surprised)
My, you really do want your fortune told.
MORGANA
Let me handle this!
Morgana appears and floats to the ground. With a wave of her hand, she squelches the wild magic flare of the Jewel. The Jewel spins to a stop on the table.
MORGANA
Well well, It's been a long time, hasn't it.
EZMERELDA
What so you mean?
MORGANA
I wasn't talking to you, was I Derek!
DEREK
Hello, Morgana.
EZMERELDA
(Looking around)
Who said that?
MORGANA
Ha ha ha, being a cat becomes you.
DEREK
Thanks to you and your plot against Merlin. When he blasted us into the wild magic, this is what happened to me!!
EZMERELDA
(Astonished)
Derek, you're talking!!
MORGANA
Of course he talks.
EZMERELDA
He does!?
DEREK
Yes, yes I talk!
EZMERELDA
(Looks closely at Derek)
Who are you?
KALE
Yes, do tell.
MORGANA
He is a wizard, at least he was once.
DEREK
And will be again!
MORGANA
(Teasing)
You've lost your magic. Haven't you, Derek?
DEREK
Not all of it.
Derek leaps ans spins the jewel creating a magic sparkle flash.
Ezmerelda grabs the jewel under the diversion -
DEREK
Quickly, this way!
She runs out of the room hot on Derek's little cat heels.
MORGANA
Run all you want, ha ha!! You can't escape me in here!
Derek and Ezmerelda run down a titled hallway.
CUT TO:
(14) ANOTHER HALLWAY[]
The Jewel Riders are waking down another hallway and arrive at a door inscribed with strange, tiny runes.
FALLON
No other door but this one.
GWEN
Open it.
ARCHIE
Slowly...
The Jewel Riders open the door slowly.
ANGLE - The Jewel Riders peer around the door and look inside.
Archie peevishly looks in behind them.
They walk into an "Alice in Wonderland" magic garden, down a path through magic flowers.
ARCHIE
I know that cat from somewhere dooo em -
BONK!
Archie bumps into a big pole. He looks up to see he is under a giant flower.
TINY ARCHIE
Good heavens! Doo wah, what's happened?
The Jewel Riders have shrunk down to the size of mice.
TINY FALLON
We've shrunk!
TINY TAMARA
We must have triggered a magic trap.
<STOMP> <SNIFF>
TINY FALLON
What was that?
<STOMP> <SNIFF>
From across the room, gigantic Dweasels are sniffing about.
ANGLE - Rufus and Twig.
RUFUS
Sniff...smell something?
TWIG
Sniff... tiny magical bits!
ANGLE - Jewel Riders stare out from behind a plant stalk.
TINY GWEN
Oh oh
ARCHIE
Gakadoo! Giant Dweasels!
TINY GWEN
Let's ride!
The tiny Jewel Riders ride on their tiny unicorns through the garden path.
RUFUS
Ooo, oooo did you see that?
TWIG
Tiny Jewel Riders!
RUFUS
We will pounce.
TWIG
We will leap.
RUFUS
We will -
The Dweasels jump into one another as they and pounce on the Jewel Riders. But the unicorns have leaped out of the way carrying their riders under the gigantic flowers.
RUFUS/TWIG
Dooof!
The Jewel Riders hide under a flower.
ANGLE -
TINY FALLON
What do we do now?
TINY ARCHIE
Better think of something big!
A giant Dweasel snout pokes right into the screen.
RUFUS
A har!
TWIG
Har hoo!
TINY GWEN
Ahh!
Tiny Fallon swings her Moon Stone out and zaps Twig's nose.
TWIG
Yeoothci, Jewel Rider zapped my nose!
Suddenly a dark hairy thing leaps in front of the Jewel Riders.
DEREK
Care to play with someone your own size?
RUFUS
Talking cat!!!
Derek does a cat flip, landing between the Dweasels.
RUFUS
Did you see that?
TWIG
A cat flip.
DEREK
Keeyah!
Derek spins around, karate chops and boots the Dweasels out of the scene. They go sailing past Ezmerelda, who is walking into the garden.
RUFUS
Hello.
TWIG
I must be going.
EZMERELDA
Derek, Derek, where are you?
DEREK
I'm over here.
EZMERELDA
If you're not really a cat, why are you chasing mice?
TINY ARCHIE
(flies up)
Madam, I am not a rodent!!
EZMERELDA
Ooo
TINY GWEN
Can you help us?
EZMERLDA
Tiny Jewel Riders, how cute!
DEREK
If you please...
EZMERLEDA
Alright.
Ezmerelda hands the Jewel to Derek. The cat spins it like a top. The Jewel spins in the air and glows.
Magic flares out and the Jewel Riders grow. Archie keeps growing into a giant Archie
ARCHIE
Goood gak!!
Derek spins the Jewel in the opposite direction. The magic shrinks Archie back to normal size.
ARCHIE
Thank goodness.
EZMERELDA
Princess, are you all right?
GWEN
Yes, thanks.
FALLON
What's going on here, anyway?
EZMERLEDA
It seems a few people are after my jewel.
DEREK
That's my jewel, Madame.
EZMERELDA
But it's been in my family
DEREK
Yes, yes, for a thousand years.
ARCHIE
That's when Derek lost it. You plotted against Merlin?!
DEREK
No, not really, I like Merlin. Morgana tricked me. Before I knew it, I was tossed into the wild magic without my jewel.
ARCHIE
How did you get out?
DEREK
Merlin helped me. He told me where I could find my jewel.
(to Ezmerelda)
However, it seems to have become slightly tuned to you.
EZMERELDA
Than I do have magic.
DEREK
Slighty...
ARCHIE
What did Merlin say?
DEREK
To find the Jewel Riders, and to give them my Jewel as a sign of friendship.
GWEN
Friends of Merlin are friends of ours too.
BOOM!
The ground vanishes. Wild magic shakes, a wild magic flare explodes and the garden.
The Jewel Riders stand in Morgana's throne room. The void can be seen surrounding them through the windows.
The group turns to see Morgana sitting on her floating throne. Kale stands next to her, Dweasels looking out from behind her.
MORGANA
Hand me the Fortune Jewel and I'll turn you back to yourself, Derek. That is what you want, isn't it?
DEREK
Yes, it is.
MORGANA
Merlin is gone, Avalon is mine. Just as the Jewel has foretold!
FALLON
(To Derek)
Is it true?
DEREK
It is one possible outcome.
MORGANA
It is the only outcome! All I need is the magic jewels!
Like a bolt of lightning, Morgana leaps from her throne and lashes out magic power from her fingertips. She catches the Jewel and pulls it to her.
GWEN
Jewel Riders!!
FALLON/GWEN/TAMARA
Jewel Power!
The girls fire magic from their Enchanted Jewels and catch the Fortune Jewel just as it is about to fall into Morgana's hands. They pull it towards them.
MORGANA
Kale, the Dark Stone!
Kale whips her Dark Stone and adds its magic to the tug-of-war. The jewel is now pulled back to Kale and Morgana.
MORGANA
Derek! Work with me as we did in ancient times!
DEREK
Not this time Morgana, I've seen the results of your magic. This time I prefer to work with friends.
Derek adds his magic to the Jewel Riders.
The jewel is being pulled to the Jewel Riders. Caught between the two opposing forces, the Fortune Jewel begins to spin.
An image of Morgana sitting in her flying throne at the center of the Wild Magic appears. She floats in the Forge (the center of the magic), waving her hands and controlling the ebb and flow of the magic -
FLASH!
The image shows Gwen's wedding day, as she is crowned the Queen of Avalon.
MORGANA
(eyes amazed)
Yes! We need more magic!!
Morgana concentrates and starts to pull in wild magic from the outside of her lair.
The walls of her lair start to disappear and fall away as the wild magic from outside rushes in to pull at the Fortune Jewel. The Jewel is being pulled to Morgana.
Ezmerelda doesn't know what to do.
TAMARA
Ezmerelda, it's tuned to you. Choose your side!
EZMERLDA
Oh, I don't know!
MORGANA
Work with me and the jewel will be yours, fame, fortunes beyond your wildest dreams!
GWEN
No, the jewel must be used for the good of Avalon!
Ezmerelda looks to Derek, then raises her hands and concentrates - the jewel spins faster.
EZMERELDA
(Calls out)
Jewel of fortune, who should I turn to? Who should I trust?
The jewel spins, spins, spins... flashing the image of Morgana on the Throne of Wild Magic - Gwenevere being crowned Queen of Avalon, Morgana, Gwenevere, Morgana, Gwenevere...
BOOM! Wild magic explodes - a new image is displayed: the image of a travel tree, one travel standing alone in a mystical clearing.
ANGLE - Reactions - Morgana and Kale - Jewel Riders - amazement
ARCHIE
Good Gak!! It's the Grandfather Tree! The first travel tree of Merlin!
GRANDFATHER TREE (vo)
Only Merlin may call upon the Grandfather Tree.
MERLIN (os)
I do call upon you, Grandfather Tree.
The tree sparkles with magic and Merlin appears from a magic portal in the base of the tree. His image is filled with static break-up, as if the wild magic can't hold him together.
MORGANA
Merlin!!
JEWEL RIDERS
Merlin!!!
EZMERELDA
Merlin!!
MERLIN
The time has come, my students, for you to become the masters. You have the jewels you need to save Avalon.
The image of Merlin is breaking up. It can't hold together and breaks apart, flickering out.
GRANDFATHER TREE
Come to me in the Forests of Arden.
MORGANA
We must find that travel tree!
The image fades - the Fortune Jewel stops spinning and falls to the ground.
The magic tug-of-war breaks, releasing Kale and Morgana and the Dweasels into a backlash and sending them flying out into the wild magic.
MORGANA / KALE
Ahhh!!!
Ezmerelda grabs the jewel, looks at it and then hands it to the Jewel Riders.
EZMERLEDA
I think this should be in your hands now.
GWEN
Thank you.
TAMARA
You did the right thing.
EZMERLEDA beams.
GWEN
And thank you, Derek.
DEREK
If I have any chance at all of turning back to the real me, it's with Merlin. Good luck, Jewel Riders!
GWEN
Let's go find Merlin!
ARCHIE
And bring him home!
EZMERELDA
Say, Derek, how's about you and me forming a partnership, you know a talking cat can be quite an attraction?
DEREK
What'd you have in mind?
EZMERELDA
We'll spilt 50/50 right down the middle.
DEREK
My dear lady, that is outrageous! Nothing less than, say, 60/40!
The Jewel Riders stand looking out over the great void of the Wild Magic.
GWEN
Let's call the gliders and go home, we've got our own plans to make.
The three girls high five.
GWEN / TAMARA / FALLON
Jewel Power!
FADE OUT
