BEGIN NEW EPISODE
OPENING CREDITS SEQUENCE
LIONEL: I'm sorry, but who are you?
CAPTION: EPISODE 15 - DARK MERGINGS
Int. Death's Door. JIMMY and RANDALL approach LIONEL, who is on floor, leaning against wall. RANDALL is still holding wounded arm from EP 14
RANDALL: I fin' ya knocked 'is brain loose, Jimmy.
LIONEL: Rather gloomy in here, isn't it?
JIMMY: I didn't do it! He must have tried casting a Brain Wipe Spell on us, and my Beastial reflected it back on him.
RANDALL: (to LIONEL) Alright, Trepid, listen up: You're a professor, ya 'ave big teeth, you're a git, and I have no idea why Sally thinks you're sexy.
LIONEL: That's nice.... Rather gloomy in here, isn't it?
RANDALL: (to JIMMY) Can I hit 'im again?
GWEN: (in the distance) Jimmy! Randall! Help!
RANDALL: Gwen! Jimmy, my sister's in there! We have to hurry!
JIMMY: Randall, you stay here and watch Professor Trepid.
LIONEL: My name's Trepid?
RANDALL: No! I'm goin' with you!
LIONEL: Rather funny name, isn't it?
JIMMY: Whatever's at the end of this tunnel is going to be very powerful. I can't accept you going up against whatever it is with your wand arm injured. You'll get yourself killed.
RANDALL: But it's Gwen! I promised my Mum I'd watch after 'er!
JIMMY: And do you think I'd let her get hurt? Randall, she's your sister, and she's my friend. I'd rather die than see her hurt, you know that.
RANDALL stares down JIMMY. Relents.
JIMMY: I'll be back soon. With Gwen.
RANDALL: Be safe.
RANDALL holds out his hand. JIMMY shakes it.
JIMMY: You, too.
MUSIC CHANGE: JIMMY PORTER THEME (DRAMATIC EDITION)
MONTAGE: JIMMY walks down dark tunnel. RATS run beneath his feet, and A GIANT SNAKE SKIN is tossed against one wall.
MONTAGE ENDS as JIMMY enters the final chamber
(Tsu to Simon: Massively sized. Don't worry about realism beneath MA. Snake heads line walls, skeletons on floor. Huge king cobra statue in front, with mouth open for basilisk to enter/exit. ref: Indiana Jones or GI Joe's Serpentor, only much older)
JIMMY: Gwen!
GWEN hangs from middle of chamber, ropes wrapped around her from shoulder to hips, and ankles tied. DRAKE stands beside her. Note DIARY beside him
GWEN: Jimmy, help me! I'm so scared!
DRAKE: You have arrived, Jimmy Porter. What perfect timing.
JIMMY: Drake, what are you doing here? I thought you were just a dream.
DRAKE: I am no mere dream, Jimmy.
JIMMY: Drake, we have to hurry. The basilisk will be here soon, and--
EFF: SCREEN SHAKES. Low rumbling, then SOUND: BASILISK CALL. DRAKE dives into GWEN, knocking her away just as BASILISK appears through king cobra's mouth
BATTLE SEQ #1
Key points:
BASILISK fires beams from eyes that turn things to stone
BASILISK immune to magic
DRAKE protects GWEN, but does not fight BASILISK
JIMMY driven to brink (Ed: as usual)
JIMMY: I can't fight him with just my magic. So I can't use Aquila. But how else can I defeat him?
PRESTO: (vo) Beastials hold a special connection to their user, Jimmy. Trust in them, and do not be surprised if you discover new ways to utilize them.
JIMMY: New ways to utilize them?
JIMMY'S BEASTIAL SEQ #2
Key points:
Start with abb. JIMMY'S BEASTIAL SEQ
Merge AQUILA with JIMMY'S wand to create AQUILA SWORD
(Tsu to Simon: Simple yet elegant. Powerful. More Gondor than Greyskull. European style fine, Celtic style fine, Asian style fine. As for the sequence itself, I would like for it to be re-animated every time, but I know this isn't possible. This can be a reused sequence like previous Beastials, isolated from particular situation)
[Ed: Great idea! But make the sword fancier. Tsu, think of this idea for other Bestals. Cross-promotional opportunity with children's role play sword: lights, battle sounds, etc. Brainstorm! Transforming toy: animal to weapon?]
JIMMY kills BASILISK with AQUILA SWORD
[Ed: Careful about the gore. Beheading snake is fine, but parents & animal rights groups will be concerned if there is too much blood, vicera, etc. Might want to "vanish" body at the death (smoke? melt? light?)]
DRAKE: Good fighting, Jimmy Porter. How does someone so young master the Beastial Blade technique so quickly? [Ed: GREAT NAME]
JIMMY: No idea. Cut Gwen down. We have to get out of here before that snake's owner comes back.
DRAKE: I do not think that's going to happen.
JIMMY: Why not? Drake, Professor Trepid said something about his master not wanting me to get here.
DRAKE: Lionel is an idiot. His master is not coming.
JIMMY: Why not?
DRAKE: Because he has already arrived.
DRAKE knocks down JIMMY in powerful fashion
JIMMY: What--?
DRAKE: Did you really think it would be that easy, Jimmy Porter? Are you really so gullible as to think that you could just be handed the answer just when you needed it most? Did you really think my intentions were so pure and just?
JIMMY: No... It can't be...
DRAKE: It can.
DRAKE points his wand at the wall, where the words DRAKE AMID VALOR become slashed in glowing red letters. Letters re-arrange: I AM LORD KADAVER
DRAKE: When I was a student at Magic Academy I placed a piece of my soul into my diary so that I may live forever. When my servant gave Gwen my journal, I began to use her for many purposes: to regain my power, to destroy as many Normal-Borns as possible, and to find you, the boy who killed me.
FLASHBACK: GWEN finds journal in her stack of books (ep 5). GWEN writing in journal (ep 7).
JIMMY: Use her? How could you? Did you brainwash her?
DRAKE: Of course not. I love her, you see. And when I regain my power to its fullest, she shall be my bride.
GWEN: Jimmy, I'm so sorry! He tricked me!
JIMMY: Don't worry, Gwen! I'll get you out of here! You're going to be safe.
DRAKE: Of course she will be safe. I will see to it myself that she shall not be touched. I do not yet have the power to defeat you myself, but if we join together your death will be quick and painful.
GWEN: No! Not again! I won't fight him! I'll never fight him! Jimmy, please help me!
DRAKE: You have done this many times, Gwen. (vo) When you used the basilisk to freeze all of those students I did not hear you complain. Just think: this time, you shall be more powerful than you have ever been.
NEW CONTENT: GWEN opening Death's Door. GWEN directing basilisk to attack PETE. GWEN, quite terrified, directing basilisk to attack SALLY and HOOT
GWEN: You wouldn't let me! No! Not again!
JIMMY: Don't you hurt her, you bastard!
DRAKE: Silence! This shall only hurt for a moment, and then it will be all over. Just think: When my nemesis is defeated, I shall have no one to stand in my way to return to my former body. Then you and I would rule the world, together!
DRAKE touches GWEN'S forhead with his wand. In a flash of light, the two merge into DARK GWEN
(Tsu to Simon: use the gwen designed for dream sequences w/ jimmy and drake for dark gwen: late teens/early twenties, long hair, etc. don't be afraid to sex her up for this look. skimpy is good. ref: bachalo's aoa phoenix, ff8's edea, acker's illyria. powerful, terrifying, hot as hell. remember what we're planning for gwen in upcoming series, aud should get a glimpse of what they're in for as the students get older. and she floats)
[Ed: careful with the sexualization. sex sells but we're still attempting to make this a family show. might be a late teens gwen, but some touchy families may still see her as 11. aim for 12 rating, 15 if it's blurred]
MUSIC CHANGE: FINAL BATTLE
DARK GWEN: And now, Jimmy Porter, we shall see if you can defeat the Lord Kadaver at his most powerful!
(Tsu to Casting/Sound: New voice talent not needed, as GWEN has done "older" voice previously. Overlay DRAKE and GWEN vocals into one track w/ additional effects)
BATTLE SEQ #2
Key points:
Final battle of this series (EPIC)
DARK GWEN has final boss-level power: Bright and flashy
No wand used
Destabilize chamber during battle
Magic is useless, passes through DARK GWEN
Drives JIMMY to near defeat
Cut to RANDALL and TREPID during battle, as well as SALLY, ORVILLE, and LANA. All react to shaking from battle
DARK GWEN: Is this all? Is this all the great Jimmy Porter has to offer? This is the wizard that defeated me all these years ago? I am at a fraction of my former power, and you are but a mere plaything to me.
JIMMY: Damn it! My sword is useless as long as he has control of Gwen.
DARK GWEN: Stand up, Jimmy Porter. Stand true. Gain your feet, and die with some semblance of honor.
GWEN: (vo) Jimmy, don't let him win! Do whatever you need to do! Kill us both!
JIMMY: No... No, I can't! I WON'T KILL YOU!
JIMMY'S BEASTIAL SEQ #3
Key points:
Separate AQUILA SWORD into AQUILA and wand
Send AQUILA after enemy
(Tsu to Simon: like #2, this sequence can be generic, as the sword will be used in future episodes)
DARK GWEN: Ah, a Beastial. How quaint. But as you know, Jimmy Porter: Anything you can do, I can do infinitely better.
DARK GWEN BEASTIAL SEQ
Key points:
As massive or spectacular as you want, as this will probably never happen again
Create URSA DRACONIS, a Beastial hybrid of GWEN's URSA Beastial and KADAVER's DRAGO Beastial
(Tsu to Simon: I'll leave you for details on this merger, but I'm picturing an enormous bear with reptilian scales, red eyes, and fire breath. Beyond that, go crazy)
[Ed: give it wings. great toy potential. spec ed boxed set w/ dark gwen?]
AQUILA defeated by URSA SERPENIA, but both stay on the scene (no disappearing like when other Beastials are defeated)
GWEN: (vo) No!
DARK GWEN: And here I was expecting a challenge.
DARK GWEN attacks JIMMY
DARK GWEN: And now you will die!
GWEN: (vo) No, stop! I won't let you!
DARK GWEN pauses, begins to fight herself internally: Facial exp., body contortions, flickering light, etc
JIMMY: Gwen!
DARK GWEN: Stop struggling, foolish girl. The sooner he is dead, the sooner I shall release you.
GWEN: (vo) I won't let you kill him! I'd rather die!
JIMMY: (near unconsciousness) Fight him, Gwen... You can't let him control you...
DARK GWEN: No! No!
JIMMY: Don't let him... win...
GWEN: Jimmy! I'm sorry! I won't let you die!
Internal struggle continues both for DARK GWEN and URSA SERPENIA.
BATTLE SEQ #3
Key Points:
URSA separates from SERPENS
Two Beastials battle
URSA begins to lose
Cut to RANDALL and TREPID
TREPID: Quite shaky down here, isn't it?
RANDALL: Its Jimmy. And my sister. They're fighting him...
TREPID: You have a sister? That's nice.
Cut to JIMMY
JIMMY: Aquila! Help her!
AQUILA joins battle with SERPENS
Cut to SALLY et al
LANA: Its the Giant Moles of Southampton! They're attacking at last!
ORVILLE: I doubt it... Come on, Jimmy... Come on, Gwen...
Cut to BEASTIAL battle. AQUILA and URSA are losing while DARK GWEN continues to struggle
JIMMY: It can't end! Not like this! Fight him, Gwen! Fight!
URSA and AQUILA are knocked down
GWEN: NOOOO!!!
Cut to RANDALL. His wand glows yellow and fires a yellow bolt down the tunnel.
Cut to SALLY, et al. She glows blue, and the aura fires a yellow bolt into the air.
Cut to chamber. URSA and AQUILA return to energy form and launch into the air.
LEO BEASTIAL SEQ:
AQUILA, TAURUS, AQUARIUS, and URSA merge ala PHOENIX to form LEO
LEO attacks SERPENS, eliminates him
After SERPENS is defeated, DARK GWEN separates into GWEN and DRAKE
GWEN knocked back hard
LEO BLADE SEQ:
Similar to AQUILA SWORD format
(Tsu to Simon: While AQUILA SWORD is a thinner sword, LEO BLADE can be a broadsword)
DRAKE and JIMMY face off
DRAKE: You can never defeat me, Jimmy Porter. You don't have the power.
JIMMY: I don't need it.
JIMMY stabs DIARY with LEO BLADE
DIARY destroys big
DRAKE is destroyed with the DIARY
BLACK ENERGY escapes the chamber from DIARY, same as QUIVVER in S1
MUSIC CHANGE: AFTERMATH
JIMMY bends down beside GWEN
GWEN sits up and hugs him
GWEN: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt anyone!
JIMMY: I know. It's not your fault. You're safe now.
GWEN: Never again. I promise. I'll never...
JIMMY: It's fine. You fought him, Gwen. You're so powerful, but you have the strength to fight. You saw it.
GWEN: No, I didn't... You did. You saved me.
JIMMY: We all did it.
Shows GWEN the LEO BLADE
JIMMY: Me and you and Randall and Sally. Together.
GWEN: (touches sword) Together. The four of us... SALLY!
SCENE CHANGE: HOSPITAL WING
SALLY: I'm fine!
The BASILISK's victims are back to normal, standing around the hospital with JIMMY, GWEN, RANDALL, ORVILLE, LANA, PRESTO, and TREPID
PRESTO: You have done well. All of you. You have defeated another aspect of The Dark Lord Kadaver and have saved the magical world yet again.
JIMMY: But he wasn't defeated! A part of him escaped again!
PRESTO: Perhaps it has. Kadaver is still regaining his former power, and we shall surely have to face him again. But not now. Not tonight. Tonight we celebrate our victory!
TREPID: We're having a party? What are we celebrating?
HOOT: (on JIMMY's shoulder) Are you sure he had his memory wiped? He seems the same to me.
RANDALL: Actually, I'd call it an improvement.
Everyone laughs. End scene. Roll credits.

DRAKE: Of course she will be safe. I will see to it myself that she shall not be touched. I do not yet have the power to defeat you myself, but if we join together your death will be quick and painful.
GWEN: No! Not again! I won't fight him! I'll never fight him! Jimmy, please help me!
DRAKE: You have done this many times, Gwen. (vo) When you used the basilisk to freeze all of those students I did not hear you complain. Just think: this time, you shall be more powerful than you have ever been.
NEW CONTENT: GWEN opening Death's Door. GWEN directing basilisk to attack PETE. GWEN, quite terrified, directing basilisk to attack SALLY and HOOT
GWEN: You wouldn't let me! No! Not again!
JIMMY: Don't you hurt her, you bastard!
DRAKE: Silence! This shall only hurt for a moment, and then it will be all over. Just think: When my nemesis is defeated, I shall have no one to stand in my way to return to my former body. Then you and I would rule the world, together!
DRAKE touches GWEN'S forhead with his wand. In a flash of light, the two merge into DARK GWEN
(Tsu to Simon: use the gwen designed for dream sequences w/ jimmy and drake for dark gwen: late teens/early twenties, long hair, etc. don't be afraid to sex her up for this look. skimpy is good. ref: bachalo's aoa phoenix, ff8's edea, acker's illyria. powerful, terrifying, hot as hell. remember what we're planning for gwen in upcoming series, aud should get a glimpse of what they're in for as the students get older. and she floats)
[Ed: careful with the sexualization. sex sells but we're still attempting to make this a family show. might be a late teens gwen, but some touchy families may still see her as 11. aim for 12 rating, 15 if it's blurred]
MUSIC CHANGE: FINAL BATTLE
DARK GWEN: And now, Jimmy Porter, we shall see if you can defeat the Lord Kadaver at his most powerful!
(Tsu to Casting/Sound: New voice talent not needed, as GWEN has done "older" voice previously. Overlay DRAKE and GWEN vocals into one track w/ additional effects)
BATTLE SEQ #2
Key points:
Final battle of this series (EPIC)
DARK GWEN has final boss-level power: Bright and flashy
No wand used
Destabilize chamber during battle
Magic is useless, passes through DARK GWEN
Drives JIMMY to near defeat
Cut to RANDALL and TREPID during battle, as well as SALLY, ORVILLE, and LANA. All react to shaking from battle
DARK GWEN: Is this all? Is this all the great Jimmy Porter has to offer? This is the wizard that defeated me all these years ago? I am at a fraction of my former power, and you are but a mere plaything to me.
JIMMY: Damn it! My sword is useless as long as he has control of Gwen.
DARK GWEN: Stand up, Jimmy Porter. Stand true. Gain your feet, and die with some semblance of honor.
GWEN: (vo) Jimmy, don't let him win! Do whatever you need to do! Kill us both!
JIMMY: No... No, I can't! I WON'T KILL YOU!
JIMMY'S BEASTIAL SEQ #3
Key points:
Separate AQUILA SWORD into AQUILA and wand
Send AQUILA after enemy
(Tsu to Simon: like #2, this sequence can be generic, as the sword will be used in future episodes)
DARK GWEN: Ah, a Beastial. How quaint. But as you know, Jimmy Porter: Anything you can do, I can do infinitely better.
DARK GWEN BEASTIAL SEQ
Key points:
As massive or spectacular as you want, as this will probably never happen again
Create URSA DRACONIS, a Beastial hybrid of GWEN's URSA Beastial and KADAVER's DRAGO Beastial
(Tsu to Simon: I'll leave you for details on this merger, but I'm picturing an enormous bear with reptilian scales, red eyes, and fire breath. Beyond that, go crazy)
[Ed: give it wings. great toy potential. spec ed boxed set w/ dark gwen?]
AQUILA defeated by URSA SERPENIA, but both stay on the scene (no disappearing like when other Beastials are defeated)
GWEN: (vo) No!
DARK GWEN: And here I was expecting a challenge.
DARK GWEN attacks JIMMY
DARK GWEN: And now you will die!
GWEN: (vo) No, stop! I won't let you!
DARK GWEN pauses, begins to fight herself internally: Facial exp., body contortions, flickering light, etc
JIMMY: Gwen!
DARK GWEN: Stop struggling, foolish girl. The sooner he is dead, the sooner I shall release you.
GWEN: (vo) I won't let you kill him! I'd rather die!
JIMMY: (near unconsciousness) Fight him, Gwen... You can't let him control you...
DARK GWEN: No! No!
JIMMY: Don't let him... win...
GWEN: Jimmy! I'm sorry! I won't let you die!
Internal struggle continues both for DARK GWEN and URSA SERPENIA.
BATTLE SEQ #3
Key Points:
URSA separates from SERPENS
Two Beastials battle
URSA begins to lose
Cut to RANDALL and TREPID
TREPID: Quite shaky down here, isn't it?
RANDALL: Its Jimmy. And my sister. They're fighting him...
TREPID: You have a sister? That's nice.
Cut to JIMMY
JIMMY: Aquila! Help her!
AQUILA joins battle with SERPENS
Cut to SALLY et al
LANA: Its the Giant Moles of Southampton! They're attacking at last!
ORVILLE: I doubt it... Come on, Jimmy... Come on, Gwen...
Cut to BEASTIAL battle. AQUILA and URSA are losing while DARK GWEN continues to struggle
JIMMY: It can't end! Not like this! Fight him, Gwen! Fight!
URSA and AQUILA are knocked down
GWEN: NOOOO!!!
Cut to RANDALL. His wand glows yellow and fires a yellow bolt down the tunnel.
Cut to SALLY, et al. She glows blue, and the aura fires a yellow bolt into the air.
Cut to chamber. URSA and AQUILA return to energy form and launch into the air.
LEO BEASTIAL SEQ:
AQUILA, TAURUS, AQUARIUS, and URSA merge ala PHOENIX to form LEO
LEO attacks SERPENS, eliminates him
After SERPENS is defeated, DARK GWEN separates into GWEN and DRAKE
GWEN knocked back hard
LEO BLADE SEQ:
Similar to AQUILA SWORD format
(Tsu to Simon: While AQUILA SWORD is a thinner sword, LEO BLADE can be a broadsword)
DRAKE and JIMMY face off
DRAKE: You can never defeat me, Jimmy Porter. You don't have the power.
JIMMY: I don't need it.
JIMMY stabs DIARY with LEO BLADE
DIARY destroys big
DRAKE is destroyed with the DIARY
BLACK ENERGY escapes the chamber from DIARY, same as QUIVVER in S1
MUSIC CHANGE: AFTERMATH
JIMMY bends down beside GWEN
GWEN sits up and hugs him
GWEN: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt anyone!
JIMMY: I know. It's not your fault. You're safe now.
GWEN: Never again. I promise. I'll never...
JIMMY: It's fine. You fought him, Gwen. You're so powerful, but you have the strength to fight. You saw it.
GWEN: No, I didn't... You did. You saved me.
JIMMY: We all did it.
Shows GWEN the LEO BLADE
JIMMY: Me and you and Randall and Sally. Together.
GWEN: (touches sword) Together. The four of us... SALLY!
SCENE CHANGE: HOSPITAL WING
SALLY: I'm fine!
The BASILISK's victims are back to normal, standing around the hospital with JIMMY, GWEN, RANDALL, ORVILLE, LANA, PRESTO, and TREPID
PRESTO: You have done well. All of you. You have defeated another aspect of The Dark Lord Kadaver and have saved the magical world yet again.
JIMMY: But he wasn't defeated! A part of him escaped again!
PRESTO: Perhaps it has. Kadaver is still regaining his former power, and we shall surely have to face him again. But not now. Not tonight. Tonight we celebrate our victory!
TREPID: We're having a party? What are we celebrating?
HOOT: (on JIMMY's shoulder) Are you sure he had his memory wiped? He seems the same to me.
RANDALL: Actually, I'd call it an improvement.
Everyone laughs. End scene. Roll credits.
