| [thundering] | |
| Caleb | So Phobos' latest weapon is what? An overgrown gardening tool? |
| Drake | He's looking for tunnels under the Meridian Plains and into the castle. |
| Caleb | We don't have any tunnels, Drake. I wish we did. |
| Drake | But if he digs deep enough... |
| Caleb | I know. He could break through into the Infinite City. |
| Drake | The men are ready. What's our signal? |
| Blunk | [metal crashing] Not what Caleb think! Blunk just doing metal laundry! |
| [roaring] | |
| Caleb | I think that's our signal. |
| Drake | Yahhh! |
| [thunder crashing] | |
| [grunting] [swords clinking] | |
| [grunts] | |
| Lurden | [growling] |
| Caleb | Whoa! |
| Lord Cedric | [horn sounding] |
| [thunder crashes] | |
| Caleb | [gasps] What? |
| [groaning] | |
| Blunk | Pretty horn for Blunk. |
| [band playing in garage] | |
| Will Vandom | [heart beating heavily] [takes deep breath] |
| Matt Olsen | Will? |
| Will Vandom | Uh... [gasps] Oh. Hi, Matt. Guys. Rehearsal over? |
| Matt Olsen | Uh, no. One of us had a burrito for lunch, extra beans. |
| Will Vandom | OK. I was just riding by and remembered I need to borrow... ...hedge thingies! |
| Matt Olsen | Yeah. Sure. Hey, help yourself. |
| Will Vandom | [giggling] [crashing] |
| Matt Olsen | Well, air's cleared, better get back to rehearsing. We're playing at school Friday night. |
| Will Vandom | I heard! Maybe I'll see you there! |
| Matt Olsen | You wanna go with me? |
| Taranee Cook | OK. Exact words, Will. |
| Will Vandom | "You wanna go with me?" |
| Hay Lin | Date. Definitely a date. |
| Irma Lair | Gotta be. |
| Cornelia Hale | Yep. I cannot believe Will has a date to the dance, and I don't! |
| Caleb | Oh, good, you're all here. Big news! |
| Cornelia Hale | We heard. Dance. Friday night. And you say? |
| Caleb | Cedric's using rebels to build his giant drill? |
| Cornelia Hale | No! You're taking me. I'll be ready at 7.00. And don't wear those yucky boots. |
| Hay Lin | Why are rebels helping Cedric? |
| Caleb | I don't know! They just stopped fighting! Lurdens stopped too. They all just stood there, staring, until he gave them a command. |
| Yan Lin | Ah, I've heard of this. They call them Trance Marchers. |
| Caleb | What happened? How do I snap them out of it? |
| Yan Lin | Those are questions I'm afraid only The Ancient One can answer. |
| Will Vandom | Yeah, and we'd better take care of that drill. |
| Blunk | Ooh! Oh, yeah. [giggles] Pretty Passling. Why you not date more? |
| Caleb | No time for the entire list. C'mon, we've got a mission. |
| Blunk | Blunk rather boogie down. [horn sounding] |
| Caleb | A secret mission. No clown horns allowed. |
| [groaning] | |
| Will Vandom | Down there! |
| Hay Lin | Those zombie-rebels are in the demolition zone, Will. |
| Cornelia Hale | So we send them a subtle warning. |
| Irma Lair | Everybody into the pool! |
| Lord Cedric | Guardians. Trance Marchers, resist them! |
| [screaming] | |
| Lord Cedric | Release the spike! |
| Taranee Cook | Help! |
| Will Vandom | Hello! Anybody home? Yo, trance dude! |
| [growls, screaming] | |
| Will Vandom | Whatever this is, our powers aren't gonna undo it. Let's go. |
| [continues screaming] | |
| Prince Phobos | Do not tell me you have failed. |
| Lord Cedric | A temporary setback, my prince. Nothing that can't be fixed with a few thousand Trance Marchers. [gasps] The Horn of Hypnos! It's gone! [growling] [zapping] The thief will rue his miscalculation! |
| Mage | What you describe is the effect of the Horn of Hypnos. |
| Blunk | She say horn? |
| Mage | When pointed at its victim, the horn's tone creates a Trance Marcher. |
| Blunk | Uh, Caleb? |
| Caleb | Shh. |
| Mage | A Marcher obeys whomever blows the horn. They become a fierce army. |
| Caleb | Can I reverse it? |
| Mage | This melody breaks the spell. But you must find the horn and destroy it. |
| Blunk | About horn. [laughs] A funny story... |
| Caleb | What does it look like? Wait a minute! |
| Blunk | Caleb throw horn in trash! Him, him, him! |
| Hay Lin | [sighs] I'm gonna be so grounded if I can't explain where I was this afternoon. Uh... Oh, study group? Nah. I already used that one three times. [gasps, grunts] Weird. Looks brand-new. [gasps] I was at my whatever-this-thing-is lesson! 'Cause I'm joining the school band! That's good! [horn sounding] Dad, I'm sorry I was late today, but I wanna go to the dance Friday. Plus I kinda need to meet my friends... |
| Chen Lin | As you wish. |
| Hay Lin | Really? Get outta here! |
| Chen Lin | As you wish. |
| Principal Knickerbocker | Good evening, Chen. Table for one, please. |
| Hay Lin | Hi, Principal Knickerbocker. Dad, wake up! How about you take the table by the window? |
| Chen Lin | As you wish. |
| Hay Lin | He's been under a lot of cooking stress. Well, I'm outtie! Oh, and I'd like to donate this to the school band! Bye, Dad! Don't wait up for me! |
| Chen Lin | [grunts] |
| Principal Knickerbocker | [gasps] |
| Caleb | [sings melody] Is that how it went? |
| Blunk | Better groove when Mage played. |
| Caleb | [continues singing melody] Lurden! |
| Lurden | [growls] |
| [both screaming] | |
| [horn sounding] | |
| Lord Cedric | The Passling smuggler! He must have taken the horn! Follow them! Marchers, wait! You! Come with me. [zapping] This will do nicely. Bring the others through the Veil. |
| Martin Tubbs | [horn sounding] This thing's great! Just wish we could practice marching too! |
| [band groaning] | |
| Martin Tubbs | Oh, hey! Hey, wait up! |
| Caleb | [pants] It's been emptied! |
| Blunk | Tragedy! Tasty garbage stolen! |
| Caleb | And we left the portal open. I don't think Cedric will follow us here in daylight, but it'll be dark in five hours. Mrs Lin! Where's the city dump? |
| Taranee Cook | Big news! I kinda almost nearly have a date! |
| Will Vandom | That's great! Who's the kinda almost nearly lucky guy? |
| Nigel Ashcroft | [whistling] |
| Taranee Cook | Nigel finally figured out he likes me. |
| Hay Lin | Caleb sorta-kinda asked Cornelia. We're the only ones without dates. |
| [marching band plays] [band groaning] | |
| Hay Lin | [shrieks] |
| Irma Lair | Hey, look! The marching band is group-ditching school. |
| Will Vandom | Wait a minute. I've seen that look before. [gasps] They're Trance Marchers! It's spread to Heatherfield! |
| [tyres screech] [car horn honking] | |
| Blunk | Caleb! Restaurant garbage! Here! |
| Caleb | Are you sure? |
| Lord Cedric | The Horn of Hypnos... if you please. Trance Marchers, attack! |
| [all groaning] | |
| Caleb | There's no way around. We gotta do something! |
| Blunk | Hiding is something. |
| Lord Cedric | Give me the horn or be destroyed by your brethren! |
| Will Vandom | Guardians unite! Earth. |
| Irma Lair | Water! |
| Taranee Cook | Fire! |
| Cornelia Hale | Earth. |
| Hay Lin | Air! |
| Lord Cedric | [roars] |
| Cornelia Hale | Earth! |
| Caleb | Ahh! Come on! Ah! Drake! It's me, Caleb! |
| Taranee Cook | Fire! |
| Lord Cedric | Trance Marchers, keep going! |
| Caleb | No! They'll keep walking! Turn it off! |
| Taranee Cook | OK. I know you really hate us doing this, but... |
| Lord Cedric | The rebel was here for a reason. Continue searching. I'll take care of him myself. |
| [ducks quacking] | |
| Cornelia Hale | Uh, you're, like, welcome. |
| Hay Lin | Grandma said you were at the dump, but why? |
| Caleb | I was looking for the Horn of Hypnos. I know how to break the trance! |
| Hay Lin | Horn? About this big and kinda goldy-shiny like? |
| Caleb | Yes! Where is it? |
| Hay Lin | From the trash to the restaurant to... Oh, no! The school band! |
| Caleb | We have to destroy it! You guys go to the school, I'll keep an eye out for Cedric and meet you there. |
| Martin Tubbs | [horn sounding] |
| [groaning] | |
| Will Vandom | Oh, no! The whole town's gone Trance Marcher! Hay Lin, sound is carried by air. Can you find the marching band? |
| Hay Lin | I hear the horn. And about six really out-of-tune clarinets. |
| Will Vandom | Thank you Radio Hay Lin. Let's go! |
| Lord Cedric | The Guardians will lead me directly to the horn. |
| [marching band continues playing] | |
| Lord Cedric | Hand me the horn! |
| Martin Tubbs | Sorry, sir, this is school property. Unless you've got a signed notice... |
| Hay Lin | Lizard-boy! What's he doing on this side of the Veil? |
| Lord Cedric | [horn sounding] |
| Hay Lin | [screams] |
| Martin Tubbs | Enjoy the horn, master. Eh... |
| Matt Olsen | Man, it's almost 7.00. Where is everybody? |
| [all groaning] | |
| Will Vandom | [gasps] Lizard-boy zapped Hay Lin! |
| Cornelia Hale | Caleb! Blunk! |
| Blunk | Zombie, zombie... Blunk good actor, yes? |
| Caleb | Well, just keep your mind blank. Well, blanker. I've got to get inside the auditorium. |
| Lord Cedric | Trance Marchers, destroy the Guardians! |
| Cornelia Hale | We can't fight them! What do we do? |
| Destroy the Guardians. | |
| Hay Lin | Destroy the Guardians. [wind blows] [glass shatters] |
| [all groaning] | |
| Caleb | Now! |
| Matt Olsen | Right on, it's starting to pick up! Got a request, bro? |
| Caleb | Yeah. Give me your instrument! |
| Will Vandom | We've got to pull the plug on Hay Lin's power! Hang on! |
| Caleb | [strums guitar] [playing melody on guitar] |
| Lord Cedric | Back to Meridian! |
| [all cheering] | |
| Principal Knickerbocker | How did I get up here? |
| Taranee Cook | Uh, a lot of people got carried away with the school-dance fever. |
| Irma Lair | It's those hypnotic rock and roll rhythms. You just have to move. |
| Cornelia Hale | And climb. |
| Principal Knickerbocker | So I must be having fun. Oh, good. Everyone back to the dance! |
| Will Vandom | Well! First date! How do I look? |
| [rock music playing] | |
| Cornelia Hale | Don't you dance in Meridian? |
| Caleb | What do you call this? |
| Martin Tubbs | Shake it don't break it, Mama! |
| Irma Lair | Martin, bye-bye. |
| Martin Tubbs | Whoa! Oh! Yeah! |
| Hay Lin | [giggling] |
| Nigel Ashcroft | Yo, any sign of your girlfriend? |
