01x12 - Adventures in the Elements

[bunniefuu]

[Luz] King, listen to this.

Hey, less read-y,
more scratch-y.

Sorry. Now that I'll be
a student at Hexside,

I wanna learn all about it.

I've got a new crush
and her name is Education.

- [grunts]
- [paper ripping]

Hey, freeloaders.

Guess what today is?

Is it your birthday?

Is it my birthday?

It's my birthday.

No. It's Human Treasure Day.

[door squeaks]

[grunts] Aah, fresh garbage.

- Ooh, give me, give me, give me.
- [clattering]

Yes! Another worthy addition
to my army of terror.

[winding]

I love cuddles
and kisses.

Truly horrifying.

Yo, kid. Your trash pile
is getting cold.

While mine's getting hot.

I have never seen such
an extravagant earring.

You can have my trash. Whoa!

Did you know that Hexside was built
on the bones of its rival school?

One it literally conquered?

Yes, I know all these things.
I went there.

It was the most harrowing
period of my life.

Oh, hello.

Can you imagine it?

Me in the halls of Hexside,

studying with Willow and Gus
and maybe even Amity.

Amity! Oh, cramity.

We're supposed to meet so
I could get my Azura book back.

- I love you guys.
- And I love you, Lu... [yelps]

Eh, who needs her?

Yeah, this bear
can be our new Luz.

Being without you
is just unbearable.

[grunts]
You're unbearable.

Amity, Amity, Amity, Amity.

Got to find that... Oh.

[Luz] There she is.

Hey, Amity!

Luz is finally here.

- [both] Hi, Luz.
- [screams, grunts]

[both laugh]

Edric, Emira,
stop bothering her.

Sorry, Luz. They insisted
on coming for some reason.

Because we love you,
baby sister. [yelps]

They've been extra protective
and nice towards me

to make up for
the library incident.

And we still apologize
every day.

In any case,
here's your book.

So, what'd you think?

It was fine.

So fine you drew yourself

with Malingale
the Mysterious Soothsayer?

This is great.

Maybe we can even start
an Azura Club at school

when we're classmates.

When we're what?

Surprise!

I'm enrolling
at Hexside.

Oh. Uh, sorry,
but to be in my class

you need to take
a placement exam,

and prove that you've
mastered two spells.

I know you have
your light thing.

Uh, do you know
anything else?

Placement exam? Spells?

Quit giving her
a hard time, Mittens.

Yeah, of course she knows two spells.
Right, Luz?

Pff. [chuckles] Yeah.

Of course I know two spells.

[chuckles]

Because if you don't,

they'll put you in
the baby class.

Ooh, brain idea.

What if we all
train together?

We could show off
what we know.

What do you say, Luz?

Uh, actually,

I have other training plans
in a very faraway place.

That I have to go
to right now.

Bye.

- [Eda humming]
- [water boiling]

Wow. A surprisingly peaceful
domestic moment.

When will it be ruined?

- [banging]
- [Luz] Eda!

- There it is.
- Eda, Eda! Eda! [grunts]

You have to teach me
a new spell, right now.

Sorry, Luz. These vegetables
won't cook themselves... yet.

All right.
Everybody in the pot.

[all scream]

Why do I always think
that's gonna work?

But I need
to know two spells

to get into decent classes
at Hexside.

I can make light glyphs.

[grunts]

But at the end of the day
that's the only spell I know.

And whose fault is that?

Yours.

Ha! Yep! Got me there.

Just teach me a spell now.
Any spell.

It can be the darkest evil.

Well, I have been researching
my texts on wild magic,

but I'm much too busy
right now.

Come on, Eda! You're the most
powerful witch on the Boiling Isles.

How would it look if your apprentice
got thrown into the baby class?

Hmm. Weaponizing my pride.
Well played.

Well, in that case, this looks
like a job for a magic boot camp.

[King] Did someone
say boot camp?

I agree to run it.
We'll rise at dawn.

You'll carry me
on your back

as I yell hateful things
about your performance.

Nope. You'll have
no part in this.

Luz needs to focus, and I
can't have her go all weird

when you do
something adorable.

I am not adorable!

Aw! He stamped
his little foot.

- [squeals, grunts]
- [door squeaks]

- [grunts]
- [door squeaks]

[grunts]

Now. No time to waste.

You'll have to follow
my teachings exactly.

- We gotta go somewhere special.
- Yes!

A place where magical energy
just flows.

Yes!

A place like the Knee!

Yes![echoing]

The earliest witches came to
the Knee to develop their magic,

drawn to its natural power.

[gasps] It's beautiful!

Though it's not
without its dangers.

[yelps]

- [Eda] The Slitherbeast.
- [growls]

Don't worry, if you don't mess
with him, he won't mess with you.

[blows raspberry]

- [growls]
- [Luz screams]

Here's where we'll set up shop.

I'll definitely learn
my second spell here.

Gorgeous views,
magic in the air.

And best of all,
we're completely alone.

- [rumbling, blasting]
- Watch out!

[gasps]

Sorry, whoever's over there!

Forget teaching me a spell.
Just make me disappear.

Well, okay, but I've got a /
record of making you reappear.

Oh! You meant...
Ah, never mind.

- Hey, Luz!
- Luz!

Hey, it's us. Okay,
let's do this.

Hey, guys!

Who are they?
Be cool.

If they know I haven't
mastered two spells

they'll think I belong
in the baby class.

What's that about
the baby class?

Only that it's
for babies

and Luz here clearly
isn't a baby.

Nailed it.

[whistling]

Amity! [chuckles, grunts]

Wha... What are you doing here?

I'm here to train.

I'm trying to b*at Ed
and Em's highest score

on the exam.

Aw, Mittens.
That's impossible.

She still needs to use a training
wand to learn new spells.

So what are you working on?
Something powerful?

Yep. Powerful spells.

I'm working on one
that's sooo crazy.

Eda's a pretty
incredible teacher.

Luz, I shall now teach you how to
identify different types of snow.

By taste!

Well, go on. Eat the snow.

Is this some kind
of special magic?

[clears throat] I don't
think the Owl Lady wants

to show us any
of her powerful spells.

[mumbling, gulps]

Ooh. Brain freeze.
Brain freeze.

See you around, human.

Good luck with your,
uh, training.

Aw.

Eda! Can you please
take this seriously?

You need to take me seriously.

Go taste snow
without my guidance.

See where it gets you.

Oh. [sighs] Don't worry kid.

If you listen to me, soon you'll
be doing stuff like that.

[beeping]

And it won't be with
some wack training wand.

It'll be the real deal.

But you have to trust me,
okay?

Okay. I trust you.

We've covered snow.

So, now it's on
to smelling moss.

Now the trick is, you really
gotta get it up in there.

This is ludicrous.
I once led armies.

I can lead a dang boot camp.

But I have no recruits.

- Or do I?
- [Hooty] Yep!

It's your faithful pal Hooty,
reporting for duty.

Up at dawn,
taking orders all day long.

Ugh, no. You are too desperate.

- [door squeaks]
- [grunts, panting]

Roll call. New guy, Aloysius Turtle,
Chip, Beefy Bob, Francois...

Oh, you're perfect already.

As for the rest of you, I'm only
saying this once, so listen up!

Huh. It's no fun
if they don't tremble.

[vegetables giggling]

Oh.

[all] Ya!

[all cheer]

Huh, okay. All right.
Yep, an idea is happening.

[sighs] Okay.

I've identified the smells
of three different rocks,

sorted all the twigs
from big to small.

And found your glove.
And your hand.

Ah. I was wondering
where that thing went.

So, what now?

[grunts]

[chuckles]
Hey.

I know my lessons
seem weird,

but this is what wild
magic is all about.

Making a connection with nature.

The earliest witches
understood that.

Human witches need
to understand it too.

You wanna learn a second spell?

With all my heart.

Then you have to learn
from the island.

Now, look.

[wind howling]

And think about
what the island

is trying
to tell you.

[inhales deeply, exhales]

All right, Luz. Look.

Look with everything you've got.

Focus.

Focus? On what?

On how you'll be stuck
in the baby class.

No, don't think like that.

Face it. You'll never
get a second spell

following Eda's lessons.

Silence hands!

[blasting]

[Emira] Amity! Dinner's ready!

[Edric] I caught a bat!

Edric, don't eat that!

If I wanna be in the
same class as Amity,

I'm gonna need to learn magic
like Amity.

Great work, Luz.

Shh! I don't need
your validation.

m*llitary discipline, cooking.

[chuckles] I truly am
a demon for all seasons.

Just a dash
of Eda's secret sauce

and I'm the creator of life.

[King] Yes, yes, yes!
My loyal recruits.

Welcome to boot camp.
You sure need it.

Look at you: raggedy,
pathetic, chewed on.

You got a button hanging off
of your eye. Pathetic!

But I will mold you worms into
slightly better kinds of worms.

Your first mission:
give me snacks.

Your commander is hungry,
so pick it up!

Hey, Private Dingdong.
Snacks are that way.

You better shape up, recruit.

You're in my boot camp now.

Ed, give me the bat.

No! If we're not gonna eat it,
I wanna keep it as a pet.

Get back here before
that thing bites you.

Huh.
Her cross-hatching has improved.

Oh, man. Oh, man.

[gasps] Yes!

[blasting, whistling]

I did magic! I did magic!
Without drawing anything.

This thing is the coolest.

[Eda] Hold it right there.

What are you doing with that?

I'm doing magic.

What would you have me do?

Eat more snow? Lick a rock?

Okay, so maybe my methods
are unique,

but so is your magic.

Connecting to the island
can help you.

That wand can't.

Well, it's already helped me.

Just watch what I can do.

[sizzling]

[beeping]

Wh... Whoaaa!

- [expl*si*n]
- [birds shrieking]

- [Slitherbeast growls]
- [gasps]

[growls]

You've angered
the Slitherbeast.

[growling]

You've angered
the Slitherbeast.

Will it accept
a heartfelt apology?

[snorts]

[growls]

[screams]
Watch out!

Whaa! [groans]

[growls]

- Eda!
- [Emira] Luz!

What did we miss?

And what are you doing
with my wand?

Uh...

Mittens, we've
got bigger problems.

[growling]

Aw, he's so cute.
Can we keep him?

It's no bat.
But we could try.

[growling]

[Emira, Edric straining]

You got it.
Now, finish it off.

I'm on it.

[sizzling]

What?

[beeping]

Did you use this all up?

I... I didn't know.

Come on, Luz.

Do those powerful spells
you were talking about.

But I don't actually...
know any.

- [growls]
- [all scream]

Edric, Emira! Noooo!

[growling]

[all scream]

[both panting]

[King] Yep, keep 'em coming.

And don't forget the
pretzels this time.

Running a boot camp
is tough work

but as my second-in-command
you deserve this.

Hey, hey! Private new guy.

You are not privy to snacking privileges!
Back away!

[rattling]

[yawns] Leading this boot camp
has tuckered the little guy out.

So, Sergeant King signing off.

- [footsteps approaching]
- Excuse me!

Could you maybe
turn down those eyeballs?

I'm trying to sleep.

[footsteps approaching]

[winding]

Don't you want a hug?

[yelps]

[Slitherbeast growls]

[branches cracking]

What do we do?

I am going after them.

You are staying here.

But the beast
has Eda.

And because of you,

it also has my brother
and sister.

Now stay put.

You'll only get hurt.

Amity! Wait!

- [crackling]
- [grunts]

Stupid island.

[grunts] Ow.

[wind howling]

[Luz] You were supposed
to teach me magic.

But I'll never learn
more than this.

Wait. Is that...

...a light glyph?

But what does that mean?

Whoa.

It means magic is a gift
from the island.

[Luz] It means...

...magic is everywhere.

Magic is everywhere!

- [grunting]
- [rumbling]

[ice cracking]

Whoooo! [yelps]

My second spell!

Thank you, snow. Thank you, island.
Thank you, Eda.

Eda! I have to save her.

- [rock music playing]
- [King] Hey! How dare you mute me?

Unhand your commander right now!

- [glass shatters]
- [grunts]

I gave you life.
I can take it away.

[yelps]

[grunts] Hooty, Hooty.

Great news, buddy.
You can be in the boot camp.

First task: destroy
the boot camp.

Hmmm. No, thanks.

W-What?
But you begged to join.

Sorry. You said I was desperate.

So, now I'm playing hard to get.

[grunts] What do you want?

I don't know.
What are you offering?

Hmm.

Wow! This is incredible.
It's so real.

You got yourself a deal.

[door squeaks]

Hoooot!

This day shall live in infamy.

[squeals]

[growling]

[all grunt]

[growls]

Don't worry.
We'll be fine.

- [bones rattling]
- No, we're gonna die.

[Luz] That's right.
Death is here.

Just kidding.
Luz is here.

Kid, get outta here.

I'm just gonna sneak away

when the thing starts
eating the twins.

Wait, what?
[gasps]

Don't worry, Eda.
I get it now.

I was so obsessed with
learning my second spell,

I didn't listen to you.

But now I'm gonna save you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, at least I got to see her
misplaced confidence one last time.

Luz!
Hello.

Uh, how did you get
past the barrier?

Magic! Literally!
Now forget that,

because you and I have to work
together if we wanna save everyone.

Okay. Here's what
we're gonna do.

[whispers indistinctly]

Achoo!
Ugh, I hate garlic.

[Luz] Hey, you big idiot.

Over here!

[growling]

- [straining]
- Amity!

Use that fire spell
we taught you.

But I can't do it
without the wand.

Yes, you can.
Just focus.

Okay.

Cool. I didn't actually
think you could do it.

- [all groan]
- [Luz screams]

[both gasp]
Luz!

- [screaming]
- [growling]

[growling]

Gotcha!

[ice cracking]

[rumbling]

[growling, grunts]

[all panting]

[growling]

Want me to teach you kids
something cool?

Yes!
Yes, please.

The sleep spell.

[groans]

[snoring]

Now that's my mentor.

Did you see?
I learned my second spell.

- I made the connection.
- I saw.

[Eda]
Nice work, kiddo.

[sighs] You showed some
real bravery in there, sis.

Yeah. Nice work, kiddo.

[grunts] Stop! [groans]

So, it looks like we'll
be in the same class.

Azura Book Club?
Azura Book Club?

As long as it's
a secret club, okay?

- It's not a secret.
- We're gonna tell everyone.

[sighs]

Achoo! [snorts]

All right, your adorable banter
is literally making me sick.

- Let's go home already.
- On it, Teach.

- Yaaaaaay!
- Waaahoooo!

I think we can go
the normal way.

- Private Hooty, today when the felt flew,
- [panting]

you showed grit
and determination

that were instrumental
in securing our victory.

May I just say it has been
an honor to be your commander.

Sir, the honor is all mine.

Private, our hearts have
been touched by fire. And...

[clears throat]

What the heck did
you two get into?

Um, excuse me,
we're having a moment here.

You'll never understand what we've
been through together. Never, never!

Ugh. Moment ruined.

I will be haunted by
my actions forever.

Hoot hoot.
