Regaining Control/Transcript

Riz: Silver Guard has escaped. Aaron isn’t coming back. What do we do?

Barkat: What *can* we do?

Jaice: Well, I could-

SFX: (Kicks Jaice)

Jaice: Actually, I can’t do that.

Riz: I don’t want to have to resort to… curses.

Barkat: You won’t become the mutant curse monster. We’ll defend you.

**Intro plays**

Aaron: Okay, who should we get to help us?

Aada: Someone who has inside knowledge. And quick, preferably.

Haley: I have an idea.

Hoots: (Hoot, skidding)

Bookly: That’s good, Hoots. Now, can you get your whole group to come over here?

Barkat: What do you think you’re doing here?

Jaice: Yeah, tell us why. Before we splash you.

Barkat: I say we vine them.

Jaice: Splash!

Barkat: Vine!

Haley: Enough! Now, why we are here, we are planning on freeing the world of Tracks, letting curses go their ways. You see my staff right here? This used to be a curse.

Barkat: But do we know if it’s safe?

Jack: Trust me, it’s fine. It turned into a staff when we were fighting Aaron.

Aaron: I watched it happen. It didn’t turn on her. I’m pretty sure this is her companion.

Barkat: Alright, fair enough. (Whistles) Guard!

Illumi: Did you capture them?

Barkat: Okay, snap out of it, Illumi.

Illumi: But King Riz-

Barkat: King Riz is why they’re here.

Jaice: We’re rebelling against him. Well, planning to.

Illumi: And why do you trust them?

Shadow: (Growling)

Haley: Shadow, I get that they’re being mean.

Jack: You named it... Shadow?

Haley: My Talistaff needs a name. Bookly named his Hoots, Aada named hers Woodpeck, and Amon named his Hopps. I think it’s pretty hard not to name him.

Jack: I get it. But, how do you know that’s a Shadow Hidden? I’m guessing it’s either a Natural or Regular.

Haley: Shadow is his name. No changing that.

Jack: Fine, whatever. I don’t own it, I guess.

Barkat: Sorry to interrupt, but… King Riz is still here.

Riz: (Whispering) I can hear you.

Jaice: Let’s go outside.

Scene cuts to outside Riz’s castle

Haley: Okay, Guards. So, are you ready to train like you never have before?

Barkat: We train hard, and even if we worked *slightly* more, we’d work ourselves down to our bones.

Jaice: Yeah, makes sense. Can we work as hard as we were?

Haley: This is going to take sacrifice, confidence, and working yourselves HARD.

Jack: Haley, can I speak to you for a moment?

SFX: (Whoosh)

Jack: (Whispering) I get what you’re doing, and I get it. It’s great. But, we don’t know what King Riz can actually do!

Haley: I might know a certain someone who could know.

SFX: (Whoosh)

Bookly: Okay, stop looking at me. There’s seriously no books that talk about Riz. I know that he steals curses, but that’s it.

Jack: Well, I guess if we wanna beat him, we have to outnumber him. Everyone, gather crowds of people, and meet back here in one hour.

Haley: I like that.

Aada: Me too.

Bookly: Okay. See ya!

Maia: I’m coming, too!

Barkat: Alright. See you guys in an hour.

Jaice: Bye!

Illumi: (Whoosh)

Aaron: I’m coming back!

Aada: Meet you two back here.

Haley: All right, spill the beans. I know you’re going to do something, so might as well tell me.

Jack: (Sighs) No use hiding it anymore. So, do you remember that you got your staff in the last episode?

Haley: Yes. Do you want to get you one of your own?

Jack: Okay, fine. I do want one. It’s just, you have your own, and I know a *lot* of people with one. Now, I’ve just been thinking, why can’t I have one?

Haley: Don’t worry. How about, we go on a quest to retrieve a Talistone. And, it’s just going to be me, you, and Shadow. Okay?

Jack: I’ve always wanted to own a Talistaff! I’m in!

Haley: Then it’s settled. We’re going to have to go back to the Tower Of Magic.

Scene cuts to above Tower Of Magic

Haley: Alright, last stop, everybody off.

Jack: Okay, where would they be?

Haley: Slow down! I get that you’re in a hurry, but finding a Talistone is difficult. Especially with all the shade.

Jack: I think I found some help!

Haley: What’s that, Jack?

Jack: It says: “*Talistones have become more rare over time. Fewer and fewer have been seen. The way to tell them apart is to shine on them.*” Shine on them. That’s it!

Haley: What? You already figured it out?

Jack: It says to shine on them. Get the sun to shine on the stones. I think that’s going to work.

Haley: Well, that could work.

SFX: (Pulsing)

Haley: Wait, what’s that?

Jack: What is it, Hal-oh, wow. I think that’s it!

Haley: I can carve it. What do you want it to be?

Jack: A tough decision. I think… a bat sounds useful.

Haley: Now, do you have the patience to wait for the Talistaff?

Jack: Yes!

Haley: Okay, then. It’ll take me about half an hour to carve it. You can do whatever you want for that time, but I’ll need you for the final five minutes. Just so you can see it.

Jack: Well, fair enough. See you in 25 minutes!

Shadow: Did you study on Talistaffs? I can create it for you!

Haley: This just feels… weird. But, okay. It must be a bat. Now, I have to get Jack back before it wakes up and thinks I’m its owner.

Scene cuts to path on Island Kelon

Jack: Now, where is a witch to- (Buzzing) What is it?

Haley: (Through scrollphone) Can you get back here? I need you to meet it! And quick, it’s already done!

Jack: Wow, that was fast. I’m coming, Hales!

Scene cuts back to Tower Of Magic

Jack: Where is it?

Shadow: I made it for you. Here you go.

Jack: Wow. That’s really good work you did! This is perfect!

Shadow: Well, thank you. So, it’s going to wake up right about now.

Squeak: (Squeak, shine)

Shadow: So, what’s its name?

Jack: Sorry, what?

Haley: Oh, right. Every Talistaff has a name. Shadow is my Talistaff's name. *¿Cómo se llama el tuyo?*

Squeak: (Squeak)

Jack: I’m gonna call you… Squeak! *Eso suena perfecto para él.*

Haley: Okay, okay. That’s perfect for a bat. Now, let’s get back.

Scene cuts back to outside Riz’s castle

Haley: *¡Nosotras estamos de vuelta!*

Aada: What took you two so long?

Squeak: (Squeak)

Aada: What is that?

Jack: My new Talistaff. You don’t like it?

Aada: No, it’s great. Now, nobody wanted to go up against King Riz.

Illumi: Yeah, me neither.

Haley: Then we face him with everyone we have!

Barkat: I think we have a lot of witches to fight Riz.

Jack: We’re able to do it, you guys. Once we end his reign, Island Kelon will be nothing but better.

Scene cuts to inside Riz’s castle

Riz: No guards left. No one to protect me. They’re in for it now.
