Fate: Squadix Saga | Season 2 | Episode 5 | Are You Good Witch Or Bad Witch?

*In the woods* Steph: Panicked. I told you to see you here. Where are you? Steph: Unfortunately I can't make it today. Really? It's hard for me to keep finding excuses to skip school. Theodore: Don't stress! We find a way. Talk to you soon! Steph: *Hangs up the phone* Not coming. Rosalind: *First vision appears* What did he say? Steph: "We'll find a way." I think he knows what I have planned. Rosalind: I wouldn't be surprised. Omega is convinced she has spies everywhere. I trust every soldier here. Six more magic-drained fairies. In six different regions of Cerestia. Ortiz: You think it's taking time. Rosalind: Gather strength day by day. With more Blood Witches and magic, he'll be stronger than me soon. Hopefully we can stop him until he gets stronger than Steph. *In the schoolyard* Angelica: It's the third time he's been stabbing me. I do not understand why it does not work? Maybe because Rosalind is always ten meters away? Jade: Or maybe he has no reason to be talking to you? Angelica: And it's always your territory. Jade: You are the Galaxy, destroyer of worlds. Steph: Okay, I hear a lot of negative stuff. I also want something positive, please. Jade: I hate to see Rosalind using you as bait. Angelica: The bait that doesn't pull. How embarrassing! Steph: It was my idea and I know Theodore wants to meet. At best, we catch him. At worst, we get answers. Angelica: Is that the worst case you can think of? Tulipa: Is that what you're looking for? I don't mean to be pushy, but it looks like a heavenly seal. Angelica: It's from the royal archives. I wrote to my mother a few days ago asking for forgiveness and a favor. It seems to work. Tulipa: I'm intrigued. Really? I'm an orphaned fairy with no magic, tasked with trying to stay in school. A little secret would brighten my day. Angelica: I'll text you later. I promise. *Leaves* We can trust her. Steph: It's Tulip. Angelica: You trust Rosalind. Jade: You both sound too gullible. Steph: Except Rosalind was on our side from day one. I know you like to make fun of my relationship with her. *In Room* Steph: How was practice today? Lucas: I wasn't. I didn't really feel like it. Steph: Maybe it's not a good idea to stay active. Keep your mind occupied. Lucas: Ortiz told me he failed the morning trap. What a mess! Steph: Yes. I think I have to offer Theodore something, some sort of bribe. Lucas: What could you give him? Steph: Besides the ability to annihilate the Otherworld, maybe cool shoes? Lucas: How about the book? The Blood Witch Book. The one you took from my house. Steph: Yes. I sure remember the day. Lucas: Because of the mission. The only memorable thing that happened that day. Maybe the fire. Steph: Really? Lucas: Why? Did something happen between us? Honestly, I don't remember. *kisses Steph* That's too familiar. You will need to remind me again. Steph: You can't ignore what happened to Octavian by focusing on me. Lucas: Are you sure? *kiss back* I have to run. Security service. *Runs away from camera* I'll text you later, okay? Jade: How is it? Steph: Not good. No matter how much it happens. Nicholas does this? Jade: This whole "I'm fine" facade. Honestly, I'm probably more introverted than him. Steph: Where else is he walking? Jade: We have more important things to do. Theodore. I need to reorient myself. Steph: Lucas made us a suggestion. They will give Theodore the book taken from him at home. Jade: Or you better listen to me and don't date an evil Blood Witch that giving her a book contains evil secrets. Want to see something cool? It's a convergence crystal. *Opens* Steph: You act like I come from a place where that doesn't sound ridiculous. Jade: Allows fairies to combine their magic. It's a relic. A unique The advantage of a place with a princess. Here's the theory. Fairy magic is like a battery. The racketeers drain us until they drain our battery, but it's still a battery. Steph: Is it dangerous? Jade: Honestly, yes, but no more than your plan. Steph: My plan can only hurt me. Jade: I f****d her at the bar (the place from the previous episode), Steph. I left with Nicholas and left you alone. But now I'm back. I take care of it. I don't want you messing with Theodore. I know he tried to manipulate you. He has other tricks too. Lucas: *Remembers* Please, Octavian, no! Octavian: Do the right thing! Sorry. Lucas: Go back to the dorm! It's two o'clock in the morning! Guys, seriously, now! That's not funny. *In the woods* Steph: *Appears* It's a beautiful stone. Rosalind: He just arrived. From a Dirtward career near where he grew up. It's simple, but "a poor, sentimental bastard" would not take place. But he thought it was funny. Steph: You really cared about him. Rosalind: You look surprised. Steph: I found that you would have your own perspective on death. Something cold and emotionless. Rosalind: You'd think so. I buried many friends. I can understand deaths that have a greater purpose, but something like this? It's a lot of s**t. Steph: I'm sorry. If you want to skip today's lesson..... Rosalind: No. I need you in shape. Theodore has already taken someone I care about. I'm not letting him take another one. *In room* Jade: Angelica, don't shoot. Steph: *Appears* Rearranging? Jade: Sorry. We're making way for the convergence ceremony. *In the office* Lucas: *Knocks on the door* Rosalind: Yes? Orion: Lucas, how are you? Lucas: Kind of tired from the night shift. Rosalind: Obviously. Orion put you under guard because he said you were trustworthy. Lucas: I really am. What's going on? Orion: I thought someone might have snuck into the East Wing last night. My office door was forced open and I found files strewn about. Files that contained troop movements and resource lists. Rosalind: Information the Enticing Blood Witches would kill for. But that was not the case. They just had to get past our loyal but sleepy guard. Lucas: Do you think the Witches broke into the East Wing? Rosalind: Yeah, looks like we got a mole. what did you see last night Lucas: I didn't see anything, I swear. I'd like to take your word for it, but... Orion: If he said he didn't see anything, he didn't see anything. Thank you Lucas! You are free. *In room* Jade: We're going to inject the crystal with raw magic, so it's risky, but... I trust us. Let's do it! *The girls activate their magic and converge* Jade: Okay everyone. Now extract it! *Girls draw* Jade: Are you concentrating? I think we don't have enough power. *After deactivating powers* Steph: Galaxy? Are you sure? I can control it. *picks up and reactivates powers* Steph: You ready? Good. It works, right? Angelica: Something magical. I feel my magic. She is strong. Marla: Same. I haven't felt it anymore Steph: I'm going to give it another shot. *Turns off powers* Steph: What happened? Jade: I'm not. Steph, you? Steph: No. Steph: That was a good idea, Jade. Was. Can I message Theodore? Jade: How do you get the book without Rosalind knowing? Steph: Angelica thinks Tulipa is trustworthy now. That's how we'll convince ourselves. *In the schoolyard* Tulipa: Hello! I'm Tulipa from the Alfea faculty. We are updating our details and want to verify our birthday and Mortimer's address. Kill me on the spot! *Hangs up the phone* Awesome. Thanks! Rosalind is looking for a mole so I have to check the file of every student in Alfea. I've made a hundred phone calls so far. I only have a hundred left. Angelica: That sounds terrible! I help you? Tulipa: What are you watching? Angelica: Shut up and move on! It's poetic. Last year everyone was worried about me. I was strong. The world was afraid of me. Now to plead with Rosalind to let me attend to mundane tasks. Angelica: I know it doesn't hurt to prank them. He should have seen the letter I wrote to my mother. The ploconic is a small child. Tulipa: It's like you said the letter was for the package Jade wanted. Angelica: Yes, mostly, it was for her, but... I don't know. Maybe I'm tired of being pushed aside. The good princess is the only tactic I haven't tried yet. Tulipa: Someone is missing the looks. Angelica: Good, I also have a favor to ask you. Do you still have access to Rosalind's office? *In the stone circle* Orion: After Tulipa updates the electronic profile, I can compare it with the data in the admission documents. Rosalind: A good plan. Orion: Yeah, that's why it seems a bit far-fetched what you want to do now. Rosalind: If we start asking questions, the mole will run away. I make sure it doesn't go too far. Orion: I'm afraid we'll alarm the students, Rosalind. Rosalind: You are full of opinions, Orion. Orion: I speak my mind. I'm not Octavian. Rosalind: And I'm not Farah. If you want to make yourself useful, find the delinquent you raised. See if you can get anything out of your head about the break-in. If not, I will. Hopefully, after I'm done, he'll still be able to form sentences. I do not promise. *In the school yard* Tulipa: Can I help you? Lucas: Angelica has classes. I'll take the book to Steph. do you have it Tulipa: Strange. I thought you would regret killing my father. Lucas: It was my father, Tulipa. And he was going to kill Ortiz. I had no choice. You know that was it. Tulipa: You know why, no one will hold you accountable. Besides me. *In the woods* Steph: Tulipa really delivered the goods. Maybe it has changed. Lucas: I wouldn't be too sure. Why did you choose to meet Theodore in the First World? Steph: He seems to like it, knowing his personality. I should go. *Walks away with book in hand from Lucas* Lucas: Yes. *Kiss Steph* Steph: I'll text you when... It's solid. Good thing we got to kiss. Lucas: Steph, you know I support you in anything, but... Steph: You don't want me to go. Lucas: I didn't say that. Steph: You didn't say anything. The advantage of never discussing what's bothering you. I'm stronger than him, Lucas. Much stronger. You have nothing to worry about. Lucas: You know why I don't talk about my problems? Because you are the solution. Steph: I'm fine. I promise. *In the room* Jade: It's a side effect of the ceremony. Since I haven't completed it, the magic is still connected to the crystal. It remained channeled at low intensity . Marla: Yes, it is. I always feel it. Angelica: And what is done? Jade: Well... *Goes and opens the door* What? Nicholas, I'm sorry. Nicholas: I didn't think... That I would show up at the door like a man possessed. It's my fault. I kind of need to talk to you. Can we go somewhere more secluded? Jade: Actually, we can't. Not now. Sorry. I'll text you later Nicholas: Did I do something wrong? Jade: God, Nicholas! Not! We're dealing with some crises here and... You didn't do anything, I promise. Nicholas: Come after me when you have time, please. Jade: Of course I do. *Kisses Nicholas and closes the door leading back to the girls* Nicolas: What was that? Jade: The solution to one of our crises. Thanks for her ! Marla: If you make more room for him in your life, he'll understand why you want to exclude him. Soldier Guard Rule. Jade: Nicholas will be fine and so will we. Here you go! Channel your magic! how are you feeling Angelica: Normal. Jade: Exactly. We just have to download our magic into the crystal. So is it resolved? Not realy. I have to call Steph. *In Town* Theodore: Coffee? Something to eat? I ordered a breaded chicken fillet. What kind of mother is that? Steph: Thanks! When we said see you in the First World, I thought you'd choose a more hidden place, like an underground parking lot. Theodore: Boring! No, I like First World kitsch. It doesn't get more kitschy than the local American classic. And besides, I have trust issues. *Activates magic* Steph: What are you doing? Theodore: You should hate me. I stole his magic. I made your lover kill his father, I'm a plague on the fairy world and yet here you are. Light me up! Steph: I really hate you. I wish you would rot in a heavenly prison. Theodore: For everyone's sake, I hope there's a "gift" coming. And how much is that worth to you? A dubious book for a life of magic. Who chooses a nasty face? Steph: You can't recover, can you? Theodore: Give me the book and I'll tell you how to do it. An exchange of information. It's correct? I tell you something. For all I know, that's probably the least interesting. I know a lot of stuff, Steph. Many things about you. Don't you want to know those better? Steph: Tell me how to get her magic back! Theodore: Selfless. I am impressed. The irony is that all the answers are found here. Steph: Can you read it? Theodore: Of course. Yes, that's right. I pretended I couldn't. What fun it was! No, this is my father's book. It was before he died. Collect relics of us Witches. I had a lot of cool stuff around the house. It's a shame they were made into ashes. Steph: You're from Lumen Global. Theodore: Yes. That's why I know about you. Dad was obsessed with the Galaxy. But that's not what we're talking about. They have two ways to recover reverse the process. Have a Rogue take it from me and give it back to her. I would be hard pressed. Option two. kill me! That way they will all get their magic back. Steph: Why does that seem like information you wouldn't want me to have? Theodore: We had a deal. And... are you really willing to kill me? We seem to be at an impasse. A pleasure to do business with you! Is there anything else? Steph: No, that's... *Leaves* Jade: Don't sit with him! Steph: I already did. Jade: And? Steph: Either he gives it back or we kill him. Jade: Not ideal. But at least we know. Are you coming back now? Steph: I wonder if we could give him something else. Jade: Your magic is overloaded now. Steph: What are you saying? Jade: It's from the convergence ceremony. I've had it all. Turn to charge it and don't lose control! Steph: I did well there. I can control my magic. Jade: Please come home! Steph: I'm fine. I promise. Jade: We have a problem. Steph: Let's go for a walk! Theodore: I want the note. *In Alfea* Orion: You were drunk, weren't you? Lucas: Last night. Orion: That's what you don't remember. Lucas: Looks like Nicholas found me passed out in the East Wing. Are you going to lecture me? Orion: No. When I thought I killed Octavian, I got drunk two years in a row. Lucas: No. Orion: You were very young then. But you grew up and I realized I had a job to do. I'm still here, Lucas. I'm still trying to do my job. Lucas: I can't train. As I put my hand on the sword, I feel... Orion: It's like you're back there. It will pass. It will take time and it won't be easy, but when you have to fight, you will fight. You will shave, that's what we do. Lucas: I was close to making it with Octavian. I thought we'd... somehow rehabilitate ourselves. I believed in a future with him. Orion: And that's your problem. You are trying to predict your future. We are soldiers, Lucas. We don't have that luxury. Lucas: I'm sorry, but that sounds like crap. Yes, life is crazy. And guess what? Her ass hurts from your plans. But if you can come to terms with that, nothing can shake you. All great fighters are like that, Lucas. Lucas: So to go through life in a permanent state of uncertainty? Orion: Of zeal. Lucas: Maybe it works for you. But I'm not sure I want this life. *In Rosalind's office* Jade: I'm somewhere in the First World, I just don't know where. Rosalind: And what would you like me to do? Angelica: You will find it. Maybe you can even stop it. Rosalind: I'm late for that, don't you think? Marla: We have to try. If he loses his temper, he could... Rosalind: He could kill him. Marla: Yes. Rosalind: The Otherworld would thank him. Jade: You really want him to do that. Rosalind: Do you think Tulipa can take something from my office without me knowing? Or that they would? Angelica: He would tell you, of course. Rosalind: The convergence crystal was a good idea. (That's what Steph also said when she was in the room in Alfea, now she's in the First World with Theodore). If Steph stays under control, I'll investigate that solution. But I don't think that will be the case. Jade: Steph is not a killer. Rosalind: I think we'll find out soon enough. *First World* Theodore: It's less kitsch but more sinister here. Let's see for whom. For you or for me? Steph: I don't want to play anymore. Theodore: That's the only way they let you see me? Calm down! I'm not saying you don't care, but... we're all selfish. You want to know who you are. And I can tell you. Steph: And what do you want? Theodore: For the great mystery? For the Holy Grail? It's simple. The galaxy. Give it to me and I'll tell you where you came from. Besides, I won't need any more magic, so I can give you the rest back. Everyone wins. Steph: And what would you do with it? Theodore: I would right the wrongs of Lumen Global. But I won't kill all the fairies or destroy the Otherworld. I have no interest in using the Galaxy to start a war. That's what Rosalind is after. Steph: Rosalind doesn't want war. Theodore: That's all he wanted. And dad was the same. Like two demented drops of crystal/water. Steph: Did they know each other? Theodore: From opposite camps, of course. Fanatics obsessed with an ancestral war. The galaxy was falling from the sleeve. You were the downfall. Unfortunately for every family in Lumen, Dad found you first, brought you home, and… you know. Steph: I mean your father kidnapped me Theodore: I wasn't talking nonsense. Dad you didn't kidnap yourself. He found you, Steph. Steph: And what does that mean? Where did you find me? Theodore: Sorry, but the deal was you'd give me the Galaxy in exchange for answers. Last chance. Steph: Never. Theodore: That seems right to me. But I wouldn't want you to leave empty-handed, so I'll leave you with a juicy tidbit. Not the secret you want and need. Remember when I told you we found out what happened to Dowling? She's dead. Rosalind killed her (The last place scene from the end of the previous season like 1 we are now season 2. I found one more reference and I have two now from this season and 3 how Theodore told Steph about Dowling's death from cause Rosalind killed Dowling) Steph: What? Theodore: You didn't expect it. The information, not the deed. The act is something typical for her. Steph: No way. Theodore: Really? You do not believe? Steph: No. Theodore: In the back of your mind, you can't imagine such a thing? You can dig it up if you want. She was buried in the cemetery. While you and Rosalind cement your friendship. I'm sorry You should have stayed by my side. *Leaves* *In Alfea* Nicholas: Mortimer, how are you? All good? I know it seems a little strange, but I need a favor. I have a weird family problem and I know Rosalind has sealed the barriers, but I have to get out. Is there any way out? Mortimer: None that I know of. Nicholas: Keep calm, I thought not, but go anyway. *Leaves* Mortimer: You didn't say to call if anyone tries to get past the barrier. ?: What happened? Mortimer: Just checking the instructions. ?: And? Mortimer: All is well here. (He is controlled by Nicholas that he controlled Mortimer) Angelica: I trusted you. I can't believe you told Rosalinda. Tulipa: Well, he told me to play their game. Angelica: No, it's not the same. Tulip: You're right. It's not. If you don't play it, Mommy won't talk to you. But if Rosalind kicks me out, you know where I can go? Not? Neither would I! Angelica: Tulipa... Tulipa: I have absolutely nothing, Angelica. Nothing and nobody. So don't be surprised if I do whatever it takes to survive from now on. Angelica: Jade! Am I Steph? Jade: Yes. Rosalind killed Dowling. In the forest with the gate* Jade: Labile. I told her to come to us first to discharge her magic and we'd figure out what to do with Rosalind, but... Lucas: But what? Jade: Rosalind said she would wait for Steph at the portal. Steph: Rosalind. I assume you know where I've been. Rosalind: Your friends told me. I'm glad to see you're happy. Steph: Were you worried? Rosalind: Not for a second. And our Blood Witch is a b***h? Steph: Yes. Rosalind: I'm impressed you've pulled yourself together. Steph: It's not easy sometimes, so... Forgive me for not telling you where I'm going. Rosalind: That was a smart move. He could tell if we knew. He wouldn't have messed everything up. How did he manage? Steph: He thinks I'm going to turn against you. Rosalind: Good. I was afraid you wouldn't be victorious, but I trained you well, it seems. You look more like me than I thought. Does this idea bother you? What could we look like? You seem changed somehow. Why? Did Theodore say anything to you that disturbed you? Related to me? Steph: Was it here? Is this where you killed her? Rosalind: A little more to the right. (Meaning on the right he killed Dowling at the end of season 1 episode 6 where Steph is just now killing Rosalind) *Steph activates the magic on her eyes in a rage* Steph: You're a monster! *Rosalind activates her eye magic after Steph and stabs Steph* *Steph hurts her putting her on the ground panicking in anger* Rosalind: Grow up! Steph: It hurts! Rosalind: We wanted to do this together. Plan A was glorious. Just the two of us. Two powerful fairies joining forces. An example for the Other World. Steph: I don't look like you at all. Rosalind: You're right. So Plan B will be slightly different. *Ice on Steph's face* Do you realize that if you're suspended I can still channel the Galaxy from you? Everything we wanted to do together, I can do alone. The inconvenient truth is that if you want to bring the world on the right path, you have to be able to do anything. Too bad you're not capable of that. If it's any consolation, Farah was thin too. *Steph reactivates the magic by unfreezing her face and gets up from the floor ready to kill Rosalind* Rosalind: But I may have been mistaken. *Steph activates stars and kills Rosalind by losing control* *In portal* Lucas: Steph, what have you done? Steph: I lost control. *End of Episode 5*
