Fate: Squadix Saga | Season 2 | Episode 6 | Poor Unfortunate Souls

Orion: I hope you all understand the gravity of the situation. So, until we know for sure how he did it, no one can find out details about what happened at the cemetery today. It cannot be learned that the fairies of this school can no longer control the Galaxy. It's the first part of this sentence. Thanks Lucas! I made a deal with Omega so that Steph's freedom would not be restricted. Marla: What are these? Jade: They are torture devices that prevent the use of magic. He lost control because of the crystal. But now he has discharged his magic. She is no longer dangerous. Orion: I'm afraid those are the conditions. Steph: That's okay. It's my doing. I won't object. Orion: Omega will call a special hearing to determine the consequences of Steph's act. Queen Seraphina will preside over it. *Leaves* Angelica: Wonderful. Orion: Queen Seraphina will make a statement. *Places pyramid communication on table* Queen Seraphina (In pyramid communication): Citizens of Cerestia, I have tragic news. Rosalind Hale (Hale is the last name of Rosalind who regardless is a new character absent from the end of the previous episode), Alphae's headmistress, has died. It is a serious loss not only for the students of Alfea, but for the whole kingdom. Rosalind was one of the bravest fairies in the Otherworld. Respected by her peers. Feared by her enemies. But fear will not dictate how we react. There is a group to blame and they will be held accountable. The blood witches. It is well known the hatred they bear us. But another horrible act is unprecedented and was executed by their leader Theodore Gorgon. Any Blood Witch under him is considered an enemy of the Crown. We will oppose with the full capacity of our Army. Make no mistake... this is a declaration of war. (Queen Seraphina spoke a lot because she appeared at the pyramid communication with a lot of italics) *In Room* *Steph's Phone: Message from Lucas | Let me know when you wake up! * Angelica: Sure there's a gentle way to do it, but... I'm a fairy of heaven. I'm not very sorry. Jade: How did you sleep? Steph: What is sleep? As I close my eyes, I reconstruct the cemetery scene. Everything is unclear. I barely remember what happened. Angelica: Okay, let me remind you. Theodore took advantage of you in a vulnerable moment. He revealed to you a horrible truth that Rosalind killed Miss Dowling in cold blood (see the last episode of the previous season). When you confronted her, Rosalind attacked you. You acted in self-defense. Steph: Yeah, that makes sense. Angelica: Of course I do. And I intend to prove it at the hearing. Celestial Law is convoluted, but luckily for you, I've spent white nights studying it with many tiresome meditators... Jade: You're many things, Steph. Most of them are amazing. Some are annoyed. But murderess is not one of them, not even close. Believe me! Steph: If she doesn't agree with what we're advocating? Angelica: This situation is unprecedented, but since it involves a death, the sentence can be anything from temporary trust to exile. How to be hard on you. Steph in this state? Do not help. If your mother sees her as a bitter person who always doubts her, she will eat you alive. You're the Galaxy, Steph, and you've done nothing wrong. The kingdom needs you. Jade: We need you. *In Alphaea's court* Matteo: Why don't we fight too? Orion: Because you're still students, Matteo. Matteo: No, we are specialists. This is what we trained for. Orion: No, you're training to be able to fight when you finish school. If you want to be a soldier, why not wow the Celestials by stocking the depot well? Matteo: What a wasted talent! Zyon: Basically, we are poor infitarians and we have to say, thank you, give me aces! Orion: Language and altitude! I warn you both! (The specialist's name is Evelyn) *In room* Lucas: *Knocks on door* Steph? Jade said you want to be quiet. I was thinking of staying with you too. I know you're probably worried about the hearing. Steph? Talk to me! *Outside* Jade: Hi! I know it's weird to call you, but I didn't want to send you three messages. A less embarrassing call? Do not answer. I looked for you in the room and in the Bastion. Nobody saw you. But I'm going swimming, in case you want to come? I know you wanted to talk to me yesterday. Sorry, it took me a while. Things got out of hand and... Call me! *Hangs up the phone* *Nicholas Checks the message from Jade: A missed call! A new voicemail! And hang up* Theodore: You made it. Perfect. Welcome home! *Steph remembers* Steph: Dad, she's crazy. You know this. Parents: Steph! Help me! Steph: Mom? Ronald: Get it out of here! (Ronald is Steph's adoptive father who appeared in the previous season) Steph: Please! *Screams in fright* Lucas: *Appears to Steph* Sorry. I didn't realize Jade was snoring so loudly. Steph: What to see! I snore. I said let her sleep well one night. Lucas: Isn't it dangerous to be alone here, Steph? No magic. Steph: I didn't want to risk it. If something happened while I was sleeping... Lucas: Steph. Steph: Please Lucas. Lucas: I'm not afraid of you, okay? Steph: You should be. My emotions triggered this, Lucas. And how do I feel about you.... If we fight and I lose control? We have to keep our distance. Lucas: Steph, I'm your boyfriend. If we can't be in the same room, how are we going to... Steph: I really want to rest today. If not, Angelica will kill me tomorrow. Lucas: We'll deal with that after the hearing. *Goes* It can be repaired. *In the office* Queen Seraphina: When was the last time you saw her? Angelica: When Rosalind took over, we chatted briefly, but that was it. Queen Seraphina: And the gem? Angelica: He'll probably pretend he's not there, which is good. Queen Seraphina: That's not what we're talking about today. Future Steph is in her mother's hands. Tulipa: You have water there, but if you need something more soothing... Steph: Thanks, I'm fine. Angelica: Mom, I'm glad to see you! The students better think you're here to visit me. Queen Seraphina: Shall we go? Tulipa: Whatever happens, the fact that you killed her is the best thing that could happen. He deserved it. Queen Seraphina: Excuse us! Does not last long. *Sits down* Tulipa: I left water on the desk for your mother. Cold, four lemons, fizzy. I noted her bizarre preferences. Angelica: Thank you, Tulipa! Good. Steph: I ate breakfast out today. In the sun. I wanted some light! Angelica: To see! Steph: Well, I'm Galaxy, so... Angelica: Listen, mom can be difficult, but I'm her daughter and I know how to handle it. We have some defense points. I researched the laws so they wouldn't get me into trouble. Jade: And the coup de grace? Angelica: A heavenly vase, flawless witness will vouch for you. Jade: Let's not exaggerate. Angelica: Only by exaggerating can we win. Your family provides energy for half the kingdom. Mom can't mess with them. Good? That will make her listen to us. Queen Seraphina: Sorry for the delay, but as you can imagine, we are quite busy at the moment. Thanks for your help, Angelica, but it's a private hearing. Angelica: I'm Steph's lawyer. Queen Seraphina: An admirable gesture, but hearings like this don't involve lawyers. I realize. Angelica: But I allowed Remus to act as a lawyer when his partner was involved in a financial scandal. I think I can be granted the same right. Queen Seraphina: Steph, are you aware of the gravity of the charges against you? Steph: Yes. Queen Seraphina: And it's my choice for my daughter to be your lawyer? Steph: Yes. He knows the system better than I do. Queen Seraphina: Probably so. But, I'm assuming you don't know anything about the system so... big bug! All right, here's what I know. Rosalind, one of the most beloved and influential people in the Otherworld, is dead. Last night when Steph admitted to Orion Ortiz that she was the cause. So tell me what I don't know! Are you accusing Rosalind of murdering Principal Dowling? Angelica: He risked our lives daily for training and experiments. Is it so hard to imagine? Queen Seraphina: Imagination has no place here. And baseless accusations like this to you. Angelica: And if they are founded? Queen Seraphina: Rumors and speculations lack evidence. I need physical evidence. And none of you thought that Theodore lied? Steph: Yes, she could have, but Rosalind admitted. Queen Seraphina: Only you, in private. What a waste of time! Steph: I'm not imagining it and I'm not lying. Rosalind recognized her. Angelica: I think a wizard can help. Jade: Your Majesty. Queen Seraphina: Jade, you have limited time. Jade: I see. But considering how much my family has contributed to the realm of Celestia... Queen Seraphina: Thank you! Jade: Do you remember the first time you used magic? I didn't have fun, but Steph's first time was dramatic. Fire stars fell on her family home. She fought with her mother and her magic went crazy... After the first time, I went home crying. Mom got me a balloon. After Steph's first date, she slept in a warehouse. He couldn't tell anyone what happened because he had no idea. We take it for granted, the fact that we know who we are from childhood. Like our mothers, fairies too, they will guide us. Steph has felt different all her life. She had no one to teach her and support her. Queen Seraphina: So she's an alien with control issues? Jade: No, and that's the point. Given what he's been through, Steph should be a disaster, but he's not. He came to Alfea with an open heart and mind, despite all the problems, he excelled. With magic and friends. Steph lost control yesterday for one reason. Steph is my best friend. It's not dangerous. Believe me! I know how to weigh a man's character well. Queen Seraphina: Are you in a relationship with Nicholas Fitzgerald? You say you're good with people, but you spent an entire semester in a relationship with a Blood Witch. Jade: Nicholas? No, it's a mistake. Omega: Last night, Nicholas had a strange crime with a specialist. He suspected that Ortiz had checked his file. It's fake. Jade: It's not possible. Queen Seraphina: Why? Because you know him? Jade: Just like you know Steph? Queen Seraphina: Or maybe you're not as good at it as you think you are? I wonder what your family would think of that. Thank you, Jade! That's all. Steph: Jade! Jade! Jade, wait! Queen Seraphina: You never know what's in someone's heart. All you can do is judge them by their deeds. Jade: Do you have Nicholas' file? Tulipa: I think so. Why? Jade: I have to see him. Now! Queen Seraphina: Any more special guests? Long, emotional speeches? Angelica: Please! Please. Steph is my friend. Queen Seraphina: I realized, and you did admirably with her defense, but... You were right in the letter. Steph: What letter? Angelica: No, please? Steph: What letter? Queen Seraphina: Angelica wrote to me a few days ago to borrow the Convergence Crystal, and she included a warning in that letter. About you. "It's a ticking time bomb, but Solaria can take advantage of my presence in her life. When it finally explodes, we should be able to use it to our advantage." You wrote that, didn't you? Angelica: Yes, but... Queen Seraphina: I think we can say it exploded. If nothing else... Steph: Can I say something? Angelica is right about what happened. It was self-defense. Rosalind attacked me and defended me. But he is also right in the letter. Because of what followed. During the confrontation, there was a moment when I could have calmed down, but I didn't. Something took over and I wanted to hurt her. I wanted to punish her for killing Miss Dowling. At that moment, I did. I wanted him to die. The galaxy only gave me the power. I will accept the consequences of my actions. Queen Seraphina: And I appreciate your honesty. But it doesn't change the fact that you're still a huge threat to the kingdom. My decision is to put you in stasis. You will be reevaluated after 20 years. Angelica: Please? Queen Seraphina: Take her to the sanctuary! Angelica: Mom, you can't! Queen Seraphina: Don't make it difficult! Aneglica: There is no need. It's OK. This is better. *Guards take Steph to the sanctuary* *In the sanctuary* Omega: I'm sorry you didn't have a mother to understand you, to teach you how to control your magic . Steph: Me too. *Closes eyes as Omega activates the blue trap* *In the office* Angelica: You know when I wrote you that letter... Queen Seraphina: You were trying to win my sympathy. Obvious. Although a transparent and somewhat clumsy tactic, it was a wise move. My sympathy is well earned. You are the princess. Angelica: Was there a chance to let her go today? Queen Seraphina: No. But I'm impressed with how you handled yourself. Elegantly but firmly. I was very proud of you. Take off your jacket! Come back! *Angelica takes off her jacket and turns around* Queen Seraphina: So that's all I had to do? Angelica: Let me play your game. Queen Seraphina: It's not my game, Angelica. But yes. We both have to play it. I'm sorry about your girlfriend. But when you're queen, you have to look beyond friends. One day you will understand this. Angelica: And if I don't want to? Queen Seraphina: I'm afraid you have no choice. Angelica: What if I'm not a princess anymore? So do I have a choice? Queen Seraphina: Be careful, Angelica! You don't know what you're talking about. Angelica: Yes. Know. If I'm forced to choose between my friends and my privilege, don't be surprised why she wins. *In Room* Marla: What happened to Steph? Nicholas: Hello! I owe you an explanation. Jade: No, just an answer. Are you a Blood Witch? Nicholas: Forgive me, Jade. I knew you wouldn't understand. Angelica: It's over. Sorry. She left. It's fine. Hey! It's fine. It will be well. *In Alphaea's Court* Theodore: You know, at first glance, Romeo and Juliet is a great story. The pinnacle of impossible love. Then you realize that Juliet was 13 years old, Romeo is a bastard, and all the trouble could have been avoided with more effective communication. Counterarguments to the argument. Leo and Claire. Hard to match. Nicholas: Is it right to do so? I know I'm supposed to hate fairies, but now that Rosalind's gone maybe we can find another way. Theodore: Didn't you hear Seraphina's communique? Nicholas: No. I was on my way here. Why? Theodore: They blamed us, Nicholas. Nicholas: Please? Theodore: Your girlfriend's roommate killed Rosalind and they got us. If there was anyone left in Cerestia who wasn't a Blood Witch, they are now. Fairies want us to die, okay? *Leaves* Always wanted this. Now is the time to fight back. *In room* Marla: It must be released. Can't we make a call? Angelica: Mother has ultimate authority. Once a decision is made, it becomes law. Marla: Go back and make her change her mind. Aneglica: That doesn't really happen. Marla: What about the crystal? It has remnants from the Galaxy. Can we use them? Or if we text it to Steph, can she free herself? It's something they would do, right? Know her. Jade: I thought so, but... Angelica: You didn't see her at the audition. Steph gave up. Marla: We don't have to do it either. Angelica: Steph is scared. And so do we. Marla: But I refuse to live in fear. If there is anyone, I hope, maybe we can... *In the garage* Matteo: Didn't you give me details? Zyon: No, just a message to gear up. We have to move faster. Orion: They found Theodore's hideout. It's a few hours away here. Omega does not believe that the military can act discreetly. But he trusts us. Matteo: Shall we attack? Orion: Yes. You said you wanted to fight. Congratulations! You have the opportunity. We have to eliminate it. Let's end the war before it starts. Move! Lucas! Lucas: Sorry. I got your message. One second and it's done. Orion: Are you sure you want to be? Lucas: Yes, 100% Orion: Yes. Lucas: I've been waiting for the outcome of the hearing since today. This is how I use my spare time. Orion: Lucas. Lucas: What? What? Orion: Queen Seraphina gave the sentence. *At the sanctuary* Lucas: You have to let me see it. Omega: Take him to a cell! Lucas: Let me go! Steph! Steph! *In the room* Marla: Really, plants? And you. Jade, can you come here for a minute? Jade: What are you up to? I thought he was dead when I found him at the cemetery. Marla: I wasn't dead at all. *In the Sanctuary* Angelica: Steph has felt different all her life. She had no one to teach her and support her. We take this for granted. Jade: When we grew up knowing who we were. That our mothers will guide us. Steph: Miss Dowling. Dowling: Hi, Steph! Marla: I didn't realize the graveyard stuff didn't work. Seeing the plants wither, I realized. This thing was absorbing any life essence around it. In the First World they are called resurrection plants. Angelica: It could be colorful, but what it does is important. Jade: I fed it what was left of the Crystal Galaxy and it opened. Steph: Were you there? Dowling: My spirit, yes. Steph: It's weird, isn't it? Dowling: When it dawned on me what Rosalind was up to, I extracted as much magic as I could and summoned Marla of the earth to speak with me. We wish you a farewell. Life is precious, but so is death. Both must be respected. I didn't survive Rosalind's attack. So I can't help you in the coming fight. But I have time for one last lesson. You are all fairies. This lesson is for everyone. It's about the magic of transformation. When I was headmistress, I protected you from the harsh truths of the world. I believed that positive emotions were the cornerstone of powerful magic. Rosalind thought otherwise. That power is forged only in hard acts of truth. We were both wrong. To achieve true magic, you must come to terms with all your emotions. The reckless joy of the positive and the despair of the negative. There is beauty and power in both. I am so proud of each and every one of you. And the women you're turning into. Steph, can we take a little walk? Omega: I don't care what has to be done. We have to find her. Don't say a word to anyone! *Goes* *In room* Angelica: *Message sent from Tulipa: Omega knows* Omega knows Steph escaped. Jade: Who knows? Tulip? And do we believe it? Angelica: He's trying, okay? It's just... He's going to check our room. It will be suspicious if there is none there. Marla: I'll be right back. You need more time with Miss Dowling. I don't have the same connection with her. *Outside* Orion: Three entry points. Three teams. Take down as many as you can until they know I've come. Marshall had time to create protective essences just for us, so we'll make you immune to their spells. But make no mistake, once we hit the hornet's nest, the war will begin, so if anyone wants to quit, there's no shame. Zyon: We will! In Alfea* Steph: Are you disappointed in me? I lost control and... killed someone. Dowling: Taking life is serious. You will carry that burden forever. But nothing happens without a reason. When I found out what Rosalind had done at Lumen Global, I was so angry that... I wanted to kill her too. If I had your strength, the situation could be different. The world is a better place without Rosalind Hale. It's an objective truth. Whatever happened, happened. Steph: Not really because I still have that thing in me. The more I learn about her, the more it creeps me out. Dowling: I'm convinced. But you have to use it. One way or another. You can't give up. You have to fight. Steph: But how do I do that? How do I... How do I keep from losing control? I want someone to tell me what to do. Dowling: I can't do this, Steph. Nobody can. That's the hardest lesson. All I can tell you is that I trust you. And you must know that whatever has the power to destroy can also protect. You, Steph, have the power to save the world. You've heard this before. Steph: Rosalind stated that at the graduation banquet. (Read Episode 3) Dowling: With her by his side, no doubt. Steph: Yes. It's a typical thing for her. Dowling: Then I'll adjust it. Don't think about saving the world. Think about saving your world! Dear people, the ones you care about. If you use your power for it... you can't go wrong. It's almost time. Steph: Maybe just a hug? For the sake of the past? *hugs and Mrs. Dowling's spirit departs* *Out at war* Matteo: Here we are, 12 hours later, in the s**t. Zyon: Don't do anything stupid there, okay? I don't want to carry you anywhere. Matteo: I don't know if you could. You need to train your lower back muscles. Orion: They knew we were coming. In the office* Tulipa: It took you some time. Theodore: It's the entourage's fault. It's like bringing the cats out to graze. Can you turn on the lights? All please. Tulipa: Of course. *Activates magic and deactivates* *Sleuths exit the sanctuary (Where was Steph last* Notes?: 1. Dowling and Queen Seraphina were the only ladies and characters who spoke very much between the beginning and the end. 2. Miss Dowling a came back with her soul alive in this episode but she was never survived from Rosalind's attack (as you see before the end of this episode I'm telling you now and especially read the end of episode 6 of season 1) she was the first headmistress who is dead and killed by Rosalind (Rosalind is killed by Steph from last episode just last night and read episode 5) Rosalind is the second headmistress who was burned to death by Steph when she was losing control due to the crystal (as Jade said at start) But alas, Dowling didn't have time to stay in the world all her life because she was dead by Rosalind she left the world during Steph's embrace with her soul. That was it. *End of Episode 6*
