01x06 - Juntas

[bunniefuu]

PREVIOUSLY

All we can do is follow the plan.

Think about the future.

Save the world's magic.

Save Aruna.

May the union of these energies
be possible again.

And may the upcoming eclipse
make the sun shine again.

There are things
that cannot be hidden, girl.

You were born with a purpose, weren't you?

A time will come
when you'll have to choose a side.

Why do I have to be the weird girl?

I didn't ask to be born like this.

Kordata Davarya!

No!

- Mima!
- Mima!

Mima!

The order is back
and you're telling me to rest?

It's not like I could turn myself
into a tree

and leave my people alone to die,
like you--

Mima!

You know what? I'm tired of pretending

to be part of a world
that doesn't want me for what I am.

A descendant.

We've learned
that the Heart Bloodline is still alive.

It will be known to all
when the time is right.

This is a tale
from many generations ago,

when the ancestor
of the Heart Bloodline was rescued.

There, there...

Many years passed,
and the bequeathed mantle,

with the witch bloodlines' marks,
was never seen again.

Many started to believe

that the Heart Bloodline was
lost forever.

But I don't believe it.

Because here we have...

the Heart Stone.

And we must protect it.

Tell us about the guardian!

But that's the hardest part to believe,
you know?

Where's your faith in Aruna, my girl?

One day, a Descendant will be revealed
as the new Guardian,

and she'll put an end to this Penumbra.

That tale is very old.
When will that happen?

Oh, the sun will tell us
when the time comes.

Until then, Akashi, Hera,
we must remain together.

Does the Order still exist, Lady Canô?

What if they find the Guardian first?

She'll find her power herself.

And only then
she will return to her people.

The school said they'll proceed
with the Young Patron final.

Even in this advanced state of Penumbra?

We need to talk to Mima!

Oh, I wish I knew where she was.
I've called, messaged, but no sign...

Mima!

Mom...

Dad, I'm sorry.

Come here, sweetie.

I shouldn't have said what I said.
It isn't true.

It's just that I know so little...

so little about my own history.

I denied it for so long,
pretending I didn't know.

But now I can't deny it anymore.
I don't want to.

I am a witch.

These Descendant symbols are
from the Heart Bloodline.

A hair like mine,
like I've always kept hidden.

The necklace that I feel
has always been mine.

I think I'm really the only one
from this Bloodline.

But there's no one to ask.

I just want to understand...
I just... want to know myself.

We were really afraid of the things
we didn't know, sweetie.

We should have given this
to you years ago.

That's true.

We were waiting for the right time...

Maybe I'm the one who wasn't ready.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Cloe? Are you OK?

I've been better, but I'll survive.

Hey, Juno! Juno! Wake up!

- Where are the others?
- Juno?

Where are we?

Are we locked in here?

- Hello?
- Hello?

- Hey!
- Is anyone out there?

Can someone help us?

Is anyone out there?

Come on.

Something is blocking our magic!

The eclipse is tomorrow!

If we can't get out of here,
we can't help!

Hi.

So gorgeous.

Do you like your accommodations?

It was made especially for you.

It looks like you've been thinking
about us for a long time.

- What do you want?
- Easy, now.

One thing at a time.

Latifa.

I want you to feel at least a fraction
of what I've been through.

And that you know
the exact extent of my power.

I am the Order.

Sol Ilecterum.

Sol Ilecterum.

Aruna Satiti.

Aruna Satiti.

That's great, folks! Great.

Damião...

I don't know if I should yell at you
for running away or kiss you.

What happened?

Huh?

Where have you been, boy?

Thank you for answering our call.

I don't bring you good news.

History keeps repeating itself.

Our ancestors, Latifa, Cloe and Juno
are back, but they've been captured.

And... we've had a casualty.

Akashi is dead.

Where's Hera?

Hera made the worst choices,

and Bruma is fully responsible.

They've been working together.

Hera wouldn't do that.

No. There's something else going on.

More than we can see.

My mom must be under someone's control.

The Order is Luminum.

I've been trying to tell you that
since we got here.

You must believe in me!

And the evidence is all in here.

I just need to decode this chip.

We don't have time
for no evidence, Kwame!

If what you say is true,
Bruma must pay for what she did!

What do you wanna do, Fer?

- Go after Bruma?
- I know, I know.

- It'll be bad for us!
- I know!

And I'm tired!

We are all tired of being afraid.

Fer...

I'm tired...

We are all tired of being afraid.

Ariel! Ariel!

Where are you going?

There's a person
who must be informed of this.

- What--
- I need--

I need to tell you...

Tell me.

Bruma and the Order are the same.

We need a plan.

Things are getting worse
at Margem.

The Guardians have been captured...

but there's another thing.

Akashi is dead.

DAY 3 - FULL PENUMBRA

Oceania's leader is
putting up a fight.

I'll deal with the contract.

You focus on giving her our best care.

Now.

Bruma, Bruma!

Bruma, Bruma,
just a minute, please.

Bruma, what is your take
on the rallies against the Solar forum?

Those aren't rallies.

Luminum has blood on their hands!

This forum is a sham!

It's full of lies!

Down with the solar forum!

Down with the Solar forum!

You need to control your people.

Down with the Solar Forum!

Down with the Solar Forum!

Hera? What happened?

Down with the Solar Forum!

Have you forgotten...

who you are?

Your people?

Get off me! Murderers!

This only confirms
that Descendants can't follow rules,

and that they have a tendency
to behave violently.

Morais, please.

To ensure the Forum's safety
and prevent social chaos,

I declare state of emergency
at the Margem Neighborhood.

The isolation starts immediately.

Mr. Secretary, that's absurd, sir.

Are you saying that you'll cast
the descendants away from society?

- Precisely.
- You can't! It's absurd!

Mima! Mima!

Check the video I sent you.

Have you forgotten... who you are?

The Heart Stone.

I'll go after her.

Are you sure you'll be able to enter
the conventions center?

Security must be heavy.

But not for a Young Patroness.

It's gonna be OK.

Just focus on getting to Margem
before they're isolated.

- Leave it to me.
- Wish me luck. And remember...

My sign is magic.

What I want is exactly this.

I want you to feel at least a fraction
of what I've been through.

I remember her!

Come.

So she was the one who stole Aruna.

- Huh?
- It was her!

She was the one who stole it!

No one else can leave.

We'll close the gates.

This isn't necessary. Why lock us in?

No arguing.
Move, quick! Out of here!

Why are you closing it?

Let's go.

YOUNG PATRON 2023 COMPETITION

Well, even though it's unusual,

I'm happy to be here with you
in such a special occasion:

our final!

Well...

Due to the Forum,
we can't postpone it any longer.

I know it's a bit frustrating to do it
without your friends, the crowds,

but with the advancing Penumbra,
this is for everyone's safety.

Mima?

If Mima isn't here, Caio, I'm sorry...

I don't know where she is.

So, we can finally start.

The other teachers here
will assess your answers.

Caio and Mima,
as host school's representatives...

- will have the first one.
- So, tell me, Mima.

What were you thinking,

showing up this late today?

Please.

Do you need any extra time?

Hmm?

- Yo!
- Come on.

Try this one.

The Margem must be completely closed
by now. We should hurry up.

Are you sure
this new Guardian will help us?

She'll be at the Forum, at the exact time
we need her for our plan.

Trust me.

YOUR FUTURE IS PRESENT HERE

Caio!

Caio, we won't win anything like this!

So now you're worried? Right?

Because I thought you had given up,
that we were done!

- I can explain, Caio!
- After what happened yesterday,

I thought we were getting closer. Yeah.

- But--
- But it seems to me

that you want revenge,
I don't know!

- Caio!
- I'm not sure, I don't know.

But the Young Patron, this thing is
also important to me, you know?

Yeah, but it seems
you're too self-centered. Aren't you?

Caio, I'm sorry I let you down.

But there is a lot going on out of here,

and I still don't know if I can trust you.

Oh, really?

Shall we?

Just a bit more time, please?

Look, what I'm about to say
will sound crazy,

but we have to win.

The world kind of depends on it.

Not this world,
but a different world, full of light,

where people like me
aren't seen as weirdos.

If I told you that's possible,

if we get to the Forum in time...

would you help me win?

You talk too much. Geez...

But now I'll want to know all about it.

Okay? No lies.

- Together?
- Together.

Whoa.

- Come on.
- Yup.

- It was hard getting here in time.
- So glad you're here!

- How's Ana?
- She's fine. Come, come.

I'm so glad you're here.

We must find the guardians.

If we assemble at the eclipse,
just like 300 years ago,

maybe we can restore the world's magic.

It's our last hope.

This goes there.

Please tell me
you're already the patroness

Ariel!

Ariel!

- I did it.
- Nice.

Now, on Mima's signal
we upload it on the net.

It's a great honor to be here today.

This is a very important moment
for our planet,

and we all know this.

What is the meaning of all this?

Wha--?

Guys... the wi-fi is down.

No... No, wait, no.

- I tried that!
- No, I've just used it, that's impossible.

I know
that we're gonna have a busy day,

because this protocol is
too important for the world.

Text not delivered.

Guys, we'll need to upload this
from outside.

How can we get out of here?

We'll create a diversion on the frontline
while you run away.

Today is a very important day.

What matters is that the Solar Forum
will happen today, and we know

what to do and we will do it.

We'll meet up at the sacred place, OK?

Do you usually...

I agree that this kind
of dialogue is possible...

What were the results of your research...

We must be quite confident.

Morning, good morning.

For Aruna!

I'm very focused and hardworking

and I believe in my own potential.

For Aruna! For Aruna!

Well, I think that,
especially in times like these,

the Young Patron
creates a great opportunity

for young people and our future.

We've got a winning duo!

I got it... I got it!

- What?
- Got it, got it, we have a signal!

We have a signal.
We're out of the contention zone.

Alright. Open it.

Mima's going to the UFN.

Victory! Going to the Forum.

Ladies and gentlemen, in five minutes

- we'll begin the Pact Sign Ceremony.
- Do I look good? Up there as well, look!

Please, proceed to the main auditorium.

Ladies and gentlemen,
in five minutes

we'll start the Pact of Nations
Sign Ceremony.

Come on.

I'll just go to the toilet.

- OK. I'll wait for Elisa up there.
OK.

How are you?

Hera...

I don't know if you can listen,
but I need you to react.

The descendants need your help.

Kwame, your son, needs you.

Kordata Davarya.

- Is my son OK?
- Yeah.

What you've done to me...

The way you removed Bruma's spell
from me... Then...

Was it true?

You're here.

Lady Canô was right.

The Guardian is among us.

You can just call me Mima.

I'm still getting used
to this Guardian thing.

What does this mean?

What is this?

Hera.

Akashi...

I declare you
the new Descendant leader.

No, that's not possible. It can't be.

Hera, you can't collapse now.

We have to expose Bruma

and you must be strong and try
to remember where the Guardians are.

I know where they are.

But, Mima, if I'm gone, Bruma will notice.

Don't worry.

I'll be a good distraction.

It started, it started!

Thank you all
for attending the solar forum.

It's an honor.

I'm sure that we presented

the best solutions
for the future of our planet.

- Thank you.
And to open the Signing Ceremony

of the Pact of Nations,

we invited the voice of youth
to the stage.

Our Young Patrons!

Nice to meet you.

Please.

I never thought
someone like me would get here.

Excuse me,
I want to see my daughter.

Hi!

It isn't easy to defend
your point of view when you wish

people won't see who you really are.

I've always thought
being a Young Patroness was my dream,

but I was wrong.

Have you ever loved someone so much

that you start to dream their dreams,

not realizing they're not your dreams?

But I'm honored to be here.

Call Hera over, right now.

My voice is a choir of an outcast people.

And today,
with a single voice, my own voice,

I'll speak for many.

So that the injustices of the past
and history never repeat themselves.

Life is the right of all people,
not a privilege.

If the state of Penumbra is democratic,

surviving isn't. This must end.

Here. We need to project this
on the main screen.

Now we wait for Mima's signal
and get into action.

- Are you ready?
- I'm ready.

Hey!

Look!

You.

Is this part of that woman's plans?

Please trust me.

Sisters.

Bruma was controlling my actions,

but thanks to the new Guardian...
I'm free.

- Mima!
- Mima! Where is she?

Be proud of your roots.

This is your history.

Magic is among us.

If we come together,
we can create the world we want.

Hera isn't here.

I ask each one of you, in this Forum...

what is your role in this new world?

Do you believe what you're signing?

- For God's sake!
- Let her finish, calm down.

Kordata Davarya.

That's it!

A LIGHT IN THE PENUMBRA?

Wild Mugwort is a plant
that the Descendants controlled,

when they were still known
simply as Witches.

Just like me.

I am a witch.

They were persecuted by the Order.

Bruma has been using magic all these years

to keep herself alive and profit with
the knowledge she stole from my people.

That's why
the Penumbra grows stronger every year.

Is that the company you want to support?

The projection worked.
Now we follow the plan.

Let's meet up at the sacred place.

Let's go.

- Justice!
- Out with Luminum!

We will not sign
this protocol.

- Bruma is a criminal!
Wait.

She's a teenager.

She's crazy. She's collapsing.

- Sweetie! Sweetie.
- Mima!

Mima! Mima! Here, wait, hold her.

Hold on. Mom's here.

Sweetie.

Mima!

Mima! Mima!

I need you to trust us.

Refluxum Aquarium Regi.

Refluxum Aquarium Regi.

Refluxum Aquarium Regi.

She's gone. We need to go.

Mima is one of us.

And we have very little time
until the eclipse.

Only the four of us together
can recover the balance.

- Okay.
- It's her destiny.

Come, Mima.

Almost there.

Pedro and Kwame are getting the others.

They should be here soon.

Now we just need the Heart Stone.

Wait, it's almost here.

Can you feel it?

Since I accepted myself as a witch,
I've been sensing the stone.

It feels like I can call for it
and it listens to me.

- Mima!
- Mima!

Just a little longer.

I am here.

I am a Guardian.

You did it, Mima.

Akashi!

Arborem Inada.

Bruma! Bruma, don't!

Nimbus Inada!

Bruma!

Cloe!

No! Bruma! You don't need to do that!

I'll reach out to you,
just like I did, 300 years ago.

I had my dreams buried away, Latifa.

But look at me now.

I will... do it differently.

And you, girl.

Isn't it like you said
at the convention center?

I won't let you bury my dreams away.

Dreams?

When did you lose your dreams, Bruma?

Kordata Davarya!

No, I don't want to go back there.

No!

Go back home!

No!

You've always wanted freedom,
but he didn't let you have it.

And when you had the chance to change...

you chose to keep it to yourself.

To stay in the shadows.

To steal Aruna.

I just wanted what they had.

Freedom.

You can't be free

when the others aren't.

Even if the chains are not the same.

Now you can have
what you've always wanted.

Freedom.

We couldn't help her.

- You freed her, Mima.
- Yes.

And it seems to me...
she's much lighter now.

Juno!

Can you stand?

Uncle?

- Akashi?
- Akashi?

- Uncle!
- Akashi!

You thought you would get rid of me
that easily, boy?

- Wow!
- Akashi!

Brother! I'm so glad!

It worked.

And Hera?

Hera? Hera?

- Mom?
- Sweetheart.

It's you.

I'm back.

Together,

just like old times?

Just like old times.

Akashi.

The time has come.

Sun and Moon aligned,
just like when Magic was born.

May Aruna's magic be connected
to each one of you...

witches in spirit...

and return to the world.

Aruna Duhara.

Aruna Duhara.

When Aruna was restored,
the Penumbra was gone

and, for the first time in 300 years,

Earth got to live hot and sunny days.

THE GUARDIANS WILL BE BACK

Wild Mugwort went back
to its rightful owners.

THE SUN

HEART BLOODLINE

WITHOUT BRUMA,
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ORDER???

Without Bruma, the Order was gone.

Hey, can you save one for me?

Shoo.

Yeah.

We should think about the next one.

You're saying that now you are a fan?

Yeah, let's say you're right.

But now, I know where to start.

My own roots.

Ready to solve another one?

And what do we do? Us mere Humans?

You know what?

I have no idea.
But I feel we'll be alright.

- We will.
- Now we don't have secrets anymore, right?

Right.

Ariel and I are going now.
Do you really not want to come?

No. It's time for you
to walk your own path.

We trust you.

- And we'll always be here.
- Always.

- Good morning, Mima!
- Good morning, Joel!

- Mima!
- Hey!

- Would you like some tea?
- I'll make you some.

- Do you want some?
- It's delicious. Mrs. Paola made it.

- Did everything go well?
- Yeah.

...and this place will become
a great center for magic training.

- It will be awesome.
- Hi, Mima!

Hi, Mr. Damião.
Let's go see the guys from school, Pedro.

Sure.

Hi, milady. I was gonna tell you.

Don't you think this place
and all that happened to us was a bit...

- Magical?
- Magical.

- I think it's magical.
- Who would say, huh, pretty boy?

- A wonder.
- Magical.

Ariel, Ariel, Ariel!
Check out my new comm radio! It's dope!

It's these two's first time at Margem.

- What's up!
- What's your name?

- Kwame.
- Kwame?

I wanted to introduce you
to some people.

Akashi, Hera, this is Caio.

- Are you joining the cause?
- When?

You'll have to practice hard.

I will.

Guys, I swear I'll be back.

But there's something I need to do first.

We actually did it, didn't we?

I never doubted it.

Are you worried?

I'm thinking...

Just like magic is reborn,

persecution won't be too far.

We must get stronger.

We will.

We've got a lot of magic pupils

waiting for you at Margem.

Now you're speaking my language, Mima.

So, I guess we'll have
plenty of work ahead.

Together?

Together.

- Shall we go?
- Yes.

Let's go.
