Return to Wickensburg (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Are you sure the movers

couldn't have brought

your dad's chest upstairs?

They left it on the front porch.

My mom and I had to drag it

inside.

Why didn't it come

with the rest of your stuff

when you moved in?

It was lost for months.

The moving company only

just found it in the warehouse

and delivered it in today.

Now for the moment,

we've been waiting for.

Aw, yay!

He was your dad, so.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Dad's flight suit.

Wow, check this out.

This is what they used

to make movies

with in the 1980s.

So it's an

olden-days camera?

That's so cool.

Yeah, it used film

just like my stills camera.

Super-8 film.

We can make a movie.

Can't

we just use our phones for that?

Meh. Boring.

Wow. It's an

entire movie studio.

Okay, well, I guess

this must be a guy thing.

I'm sure you'll have lots of fun

figuring out how

all this stuff works.

We can have a movie night.

Yeah, sure.

Is this for the camera?

Um, they don't look like

rolls of film.

Oh, wait.

There's some words on these.

Uh, Michelle Jackson,

Duran Duran,

ACDC,

Van Halen,

Tears for Fears,

and Bruce Spring, Springsteen.

Oh, I know, I know.

This is the music our parents

listened to in the olden days.

Really? Weird names for

bands back then.

Look at this, I think this is

what they used to listen

to these tapes.

Here, try this one. Duran Duran.

There's a play button.

Here we go.

Oh my goodness.

That is the most horrible thing

I have ever heard.

It sounds

like cats being tortured.

Oh, wow. I had

no idea the olden days

music was so bad.

Sprocket doesn't like it either.

Come on. We'll look at the

rest of the stuff later.

Hey, you two.

Hey, Mom.

I see you got Dad's

chest upstairs.

Yeah. It had all those crazy

1980s music in it.

Yeah, I listened to Duran Duran.

It was awful.

I almost threw up.

It's Duran Duran,

and they were one of

my favourite bands.

And eighties music is the best.

Okay, Mom.

Come on, Sprocket.

We're going to go

listen to Duran Duran.

Good afternoon, sir.

Took you long enough.

Hey, Boss?

I just heard on the news

that a Hexenmeister

escaped from Alcatraz.

Escaped?

From Alcatraz?

They closed that years ago.

He was considered so dangerous,

they reopened it.

Just so they could put him in

there as the lone prisoner.

How on earth did he escape?

Thank you.

Elliott?

Sprocket?

Oh.

Your dad with Uncle Dave.

Oh my gosh.

Look how young they are.

Mom?

I know.

Why did you

come home so early?

Hello?

Hello?

Oh, Elliott.

Willow, what's going on?

- What's the matter?

- I'm freaking out.

I'm freaking out. I came

over as soon as I heard.

Heard? Heard what?

Mom?

Honey, Mr. Hexenmeister,

he escaped from prison.

And that, Wickensburg,

is what will happen

to your scabby

little town.

The operation will begin

at once.

Gentlemen,

to create an expl*si*n.

Powerful enough

to rupture the dam,

flood the town,

and at last, destroy

Wickensburg.

First,

we have two children

and one nosy repor--

journalist, to take care of.

Then, revenge will be mine.

Don't touch the model!

- But you--

- It's only okay

if I touch it.

Here.

I'll touch it again.

See?

Happy?

That one's on you.

Well, it says here that

Hexenmeister's men

broke him out using some

incredibly advanced technology.

And then they flew away

in a helicopter.

And now they think

the entire g*ng is holed up

at Hexenmeister's secret mansion

which is impossible to locate.

Helicopter, secret mansion.

Well, he certainly has a flair

for the dramatic.

No one can take

that away from him.

Are we going to have to move

again, Mom?

No.

You know,

Elliott might be right, Celine.

You may have to go into hiding

until he's recaptured.

I don't think you're exactly

on his Christmas card list.

No, we're not moving.

We're not going to live in fear.

This is our home now.

Okay.

Well, you may want to at least

consider upgrading your dog

to something a lot bigger.

It's okay, Sprocket.

He didn't mean that.

Maybe we're overreacting.

I read that

prisoners are often reformed

and become good people.

They have all sorts of classes

they can take, like woodworking,

needlepoint, painting,

and some even

get their high school diplomas.

Hexenmeister has a Ph.D.

and an IQ of 340.

Oh.

No they, when they capture him,

they should just lock him

in a cell and force him

to listen to eighties music

just all day.

Oh, no Ell,

the Constitution prohibits

cruel and unusual punishment.

Uh, eighties music rules.

Oh no.

- Who's this?

- My stepsister, Scarlett.

- Stepsister?

- Did you not hear me?

I said let's get going.

But I'm having

fun with my friend.

I don't care.

There are floors to scrub at

home and a lot of other chores

for you to do.

Hi, I'm Elliott Lucas.

Pleased to meet you.

Who's this dork?

He just told you.

Elliott Lucas.

Oh.

Whatever.

Let's get going.

You have a lot of work to do.

Maybe

you read about me in the papers.

Saved Wickensburg.

From what?

The munchkin army?

Come on, Willow.

Bye, Ell. Call me later.

Mrs. Lucas?

These men from the FBI are here

to see you.

Oh, let them in.

Hi, gentlemen.

Please have a seat.

Mrs. Lucas.

Special Agent Connie,

this is Agent Tracy.

Oh.

Connie and Tracy.

Well, well, that's nice.

We'd like to talk to you

about Wilhem Hexenmeister.

I don't know much about him,

other than he's

a mysterious character.

You're one of the few people

to have ever met with him

face to face

and lived to tell the tale.

I will

help you as best as I can.

We're trying to determine

what he might be doing next

or where he might be hiding.

Did he say anything to you

that might help us

answer those questions?

Let me think.

You know,

nothing comes to mind

immediately.

He was definitely very

determined and very intelligent.

He, he didn't say anything

about what would happen

if his plan

to blow up the mine with me

under it, failed.

I doubt

he thought it would fail.

I see.

The other reason

for our visit, Mrs. Lucas,

is the safety of you

and your son.

Have you received

any threats directed at us?

No, not directly, Mrs. Lucas.

But with Wilhem

Hexenmeister

we have no idea what to expect.

We could move

you to a secure location.

Okay. Well, thank you.

I'll definitely keep

that in mind.

We discussed this as a family,

and for now,

we decided to stay.

Thank you, Mrs. Lucas.

You will be hearing from us.

Okay. Thank you.

Yes.

Here it is.

This gentleman is the

Orb of Zathina.

Only two inches across.

But it will create

an expl*si*n

powerful enough to destroy

the dam upon contact with water.

No one knows the orbs origins,

but its power is unmatched.

No human weapon can compare.

We will find the Orb of Zathina,

and destroy the dam.

All we need to find it

of a very special skills of one

visionary boy.

Great. Thank you.

That looked serious.

What was all that about?

Oh, just the FBI

looking for America's

most wanted.

If only I knew where he was.

I could make myself ten million.

Is that the reward?

- Wow.

- Yep.

Aren't you worried?

That he could

come after Elliott and I?

Yeah, a little.

But, you know, I don't want to

overreact and worry Elliott.

He's so settled here.

Still, I'm sure you'll feel much

better once he's recaptured.

Well, if I could only find

his secret mansion,

then I can get to Hexenmeister

before he gets to us.

Can you go down to the archives

and see if you can find

any historical records

on Pennsylvania

dating back to the 1700s?

Right away, Boss.

Thank you.

Sprocket, what's wrong with you?

Go to sleep.

- Hello?

- Ell, it's me.

I have a bad feeling about

something I saw in volume two.

Does it by any chance

involve a red glowing ball

that explodes?

Tell me, tell me!

Tell me all about this

new dream.

Calm down. Calm down.

Why are you filming me?

Why are you dressed

like that again?

I decided I'm much more secure

dressed like this

when under stress.

Especially now

that we're beginning

an all-new mystical adventure.

We're not beginning an all-new

mystical adventure.

Oh, forgot how the medallion

opened the cave already?

There's some things that

can't be explained.

Come on.

Okay, check this out.

Is this what you saw?

Yeah, it looked just like that.

I mean, it was red and glowing,

and then it exploded and...

And what?

And it looked like

it was being held by

Mr. Hexenmeister.

- Wow. That's not good.

- Why?

I've been studying the writings

in the book on this orb.

It's called the Orb of Zathina.

No one knows

where it came from, but

it's capable of great powers.

So that explains

why Hexenmeister wants it.

Maybe it's a piece of meteorite.

I mean, that could explain why

no one knows its origins

or what it's made of.

Could be millions of years old.

What do you think he'd

do with it?

I have no idea.

But we have

to find it before he does.

Okay. Well, I've never seen this

before.

The page folds out.

More maps. Great.

Here's the Le Bois Monument

in the park.

We already know

all about that one.

And here's the cemetery.

Been there.

But look at this.

This is a Native American symbol

for the sun.

I looked it up on the internet.

That's cool.

And these are three

other symbols for the sun

from ancient cultures,

Egyptian, Aztec and Greek.

But none of these symbols

appear on the map.

Nope.

And do you think that

these symbols of the sun

have something to do

with the orb?

Yep.

And I think these ancient

cultures

used the symbol of the sun

to depict the orb.

Like you said,

it could have been around

for millions of years.

So where is that

Native American symbol

for the sun in Wickensburg?

That's the big question.

Prepare the special crane.

Secret mansion, huh?

Okay. Well,

we will see about that.

I hope you are hungry.

Mmm. Smells amazing.

Thank you.

All right, Uncle Dave.

Me first.

You first.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Okay, Willow.

Oh, it's okay. I'm not hungry.

Are you sure? You need to eat.

I'm okay, really.

I ate earlier,

so I'm good. Thanks.

Okay. Here we go.

- There you go, Elliott.

- Thank you.

And then I'm going

to have some, too.

I would think so.

Thank you.

Bon appetit.

You know, Willow.

Elliott told me that he met

your stepsister,

Scarlett.

Oh. Yeah.

She's not really nice, though.

Horrible, in fact.

Right, Ell?

Ell?

Um.

No, I thought she had some

certain good qualities.

Those certain good qualities

wouldn't happen to be

pretty eyes and a nice smile.

- Would they?

- Dave.

She called you a dork, Ell.

I don't know.

Maybe she didn't mean it.

Don't worry, Buddy,

it's a guy thing.

Boys are all the same.

Well, Willow,

we still have not met

your parents, so the next time

you're over for dinner, please

tell them they're invited.

My parents. Um.

Well, my dad is away a lot,

and my mom's really busy.

They're really nice, though.

You know, I've never even been

to your house.

Really?

You should drop by sometime.

Does Scarlett live there?

Elliott.

- I'm sorry.

- So. Um.

What new projects

have you guys been up

to since the big Hexenmeister

takedown?

Got any foreign dictators

on your radar now?

Well,

we found some interesting stuff,

in one of the old books.

Willow and I are taking a closer

look at it.

And Elliott's really getting

into Super 8. Right, Ell?

Yeah, it's neat.

Really? Your dad and I used to

love making movies

with that

gear when we were kids.

Anyway, Celine.

What new stories have

you been tracking?

There's an investigation

that I'm working on.

Ooh.

Back to your roots, huh?

- Mh-hm.

- Top secret?

It is top secret.

But if you swing by my office

tomorrow, I'll show you.

Sounds good. I'll be there.

What?

Hey, Butt Munch. It's time to

get up and get to work.

Get up.

Will this take long?

I have to go out.

I'm leaving you this job list.

This better all be done

before I get back.

Yes, Scarlett.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Can you give me a minute,

please?

Here. Come back here.

I wanted to talk to you.

- Thank you for coming.

- Yeah. Of course.

So what's this secret project?

I didn't want to say anything

in front of Elliott.

- Right.

- But you know. Um.

The secret mansion?

Yeah.

I think that

Hexenmeister's

family bought land here

when they came over from Europe

in the 1700s.

Okay.

And so over time,

as they built up their wealth,

they built an ever bigger house

on the property?

Exactly.

But I'm trying to find out

where the original land

was purchased.

Okay. And then what?

We storm the gates?

We call the FBI.

I know. I just thought

that storming the gates

would sound a lot more exciting.

I mean, why should the FBI

get to have all the fun?

What took you so long?

Scarlett's chore list.

- Oh, yeah?

- Quit it.

Check this out.

What on earth

is this supposed to be?

That is what I saw

my dream last night.

I have no idea

what this could be.

Just looks like a blob.

Which way does it even go?

I have no idea.

I mean, you're the expert here.

I'm at total loss.

Let's go get an ice cream

and think about--

Hey. What are you doing here?

Hey. Remember me? Elliott.

Oh, yeah.

The Super Dork.

You said I could go out when

the chores were done.

They better be.

Or you know what will happen.

By the way, that ice cream isn't

low fat.

What?

It's not.

It's not low fat!

- See you around.

- Stop.

Uh, vanilla, please.

Chocolate, please.

It's an island!

We have to get out there

tomorrow.

Can't. I have an interview

for military school.

Still sure you want to do that?

My dad went, so...

Who can I get to go with me?

How much further?

That's it. Dead ahead.

You promised I'd see something

incredible, and I better.

Oh, uh.

You will. You will.

I have those clear

overlays you ordered here, boss.

Oh, great. Thank you.

Can you close the door

on your way out?

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

There you are.

Where are you going, Willow?

Following the sun, Chad.

The sun's position

changes throughout the day.

- We need instruments, GPS.

- Found it!

This is cool.

I had no idea we had Native

American paintings in our area.

Yeah, that is pretty cool.

This could be

thousands of years old.

What happens next?

Check the area.

Willow, check it out.

Did you see that?

That was incredible.

Told you.

Oh, so you knew

that was going to happen?

- Mh-hm.

- Yeah, right.

Must be. Help me!

Check that out.

Unwrap it.

Another medallion.

I wonder what magic powers

this one has.

That's

always your go to, isn't it?

Come in!

- Hi.

- Hey. Shut the door.

I found it.

You found what, exactly?

Hexenmeister's secret location.

So, hold up.

The entire FBI couldn't find it,

but you managed to find it

just sitting in your office.

I don't like to brag, but, yeah.

Okay. This I got to see.

You got to see this.

I do.

I got your text!

Come on!

Let me see.

Let me see.

Okay.

- Looks like pure gold.

- Aztec gold.

How did you know that?

Could be a key of some sort.

Just like how

the other medallion

opened up the side

of the Irish memorial.

And the cave.

Where would we use an Aztec key?

We found the Native

American symbol on the island

because Mr. Special Pants here

is visionary dreams.

So where to, Mr. Lucas?

I can't just close my eyes

and see things.

Take a nap. I'll wait.

But this is my room.

Thanks for

being such a good helper.

Thanks for making such

a good dinner.

Aw, you're welcome.

I'm sorry that it was so late.

I was swamped at the office

today.

Was there a big story brewing?

Break in at the Wooden Gate

Hotel?

I am working on a little side

project.

And you, of all people,

should know never

to underestimate Wickensburg.

That's for sure.

- Good night, Mom.

- Aw, good night.

I'll see you in the morning.

See you in the morning.

Are you

down there, Willow?

Yeah.

Better not be doing

any crazy witch stuff.

I'm not.

Yeah, right.

You're sitting down

there in the dark.

If my hair starts to fall out,

you're dead.

Hair falling out.

Willow,

do you know what time it is?

Oh, shush.

We have work to do.

But it's summer vacation.

I have the next clue.

It's a blank page.

Yeah, sure. Now it is.

But last night,

under candlelight.

This page was magical.

It drew two symbols

all by itself.

All by itself?

And what were these two symbols?

Well, the first was the Aztec

medallion.

Then a line

connected it to this symbol

on page 134,

the Egyptian symbol for the sun.

There's some sort of special

connection between the two.

And now you tell me

what that connection is. Go!

Why me?

Well, your dreams,

your abilities.

Didn't you have a vision

of some kind last night

that explains the connection

between these two symbols?

Nope.

- Nothing?

- No.

Not even a teensy weensy little-

No.

Now, look,

let's use some logic here.

You're no fun.

Where would we find information

about these two symbols

in the area.

Think. You used to work there.

The museum.

Ah-ha. Yes, the museum.

Let's go.

- One problem.

- Yes?

Our museum's small.

We don't have an Egyptian

or Aztec collection.

For that, we would need

the one in the city.

- I assume there's a bus.

- Yep.

Calling my mom,

right now.

She will be thrilled to know

that I

want to go visit a museum.

But they won't just let us

walk in and do what we want.

Well, right.

The museum closes

the five.

We wait in the bathroom

until everyone's gone,

then we sneak out

and look around.

Wait.

Who are you

and what have you done

with Elliott?

Mom!

Oh, here. I'll take it.

- You sure you got it?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- No problem.

Okay.

Where's Elliott?

Oh, he and Willow, they

went to a museum in the city.

Oh. Hey, have you ever

gone through this book?

This book should be in a museum.

Yeah, Elliott found it upstairs,

and he gave it to Willow.

She loves this book,

and she claims

that it actually helped her

bring down Hexenmeister.

- Really?

- Mh-hm.

I mean, a team of historians

should be studying this book.

I know, I agree.

Well, hang on.

Looks like Willow

put a bookmark in here.

Oh, my gosh.

What could that be?

I'll take a picture of it.

Okay, I think the

coast is clear. Let's go.

Oh, you're so cute.

This is like a dream

come true for me!

Oh.

We've got to find

the Egyptian collection

and the connection to the Aztec

medallion.

So cool.

You would

like something like that.

Oh, Egypt!

Egypt! We found it.

What kind of music do mummies

listen to?

I don't know.

Rap music.

Oh, please stop.

That was so bad.

This is so cool.

Here it is.

Wait, I have to document this.

Elliott?

Now that

was impressive.

Run!

In here, kids.

Lucky for you two,

I was close by.

You look like you've

seen a ghost.

Um.

- Am I?

- Wait, what's going on?

No, Willow, it's really me.

But, but you were.

Dead?

No, I'm not dead.

Wait, Willow. I'm so confused.

Who is this guy?

It's Professor McAuliffe.

But he's not dead?

You're not dead?

But how?

Why did you--

Fake my own death?

Check out of the system?

I can't explain everything right

now, Willow.

I've missed you so much.

You were my only friend.

And I missed you, too.

You're such a special girl.

I hope your boyfriend knows

that.

Oh, no.

No, we're not...

You need to go now.

You have a mission to complete.

The entire town is counting on

you and your friend here.

Always be brave.

And remember everything

I taught you.

Okay, Professor. I will.

There's

still much to be written.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hey, you.

Did you have fun with Willow

at the museum?

Yeah.

Fun.

Well,

thank you for letting me know

that you

were going to be so late.

Yeah.

I am so glad that

you and Willow

got the last bus.

Otherwise, I was going to have

to drive in and get you, so.

But there must have been,

you know,

some interesting things

there for you to stay so late.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Okay.

All righty.

Well, I will talk to you later.

Hey, Super Geek.

How much longer is this going

to take?

Well, I just started.

How did I get stuck supervising

you all summer?

You can leave any time.

Quiet, brat.

Get the chore list done before

I get home.

Yes, Scarlett.

Hair falling out.

Hi. You're back.

Have a seat, please.

Mrs. Lucas, we have reason

to believe that

Mr. Hexenmeister

is planning a major event

that will impact Wickensburg.

Major event?

What does that mean?

We don't want to cause a panic.

Until we have further

information.

He's a dangerous man.

So do we have to evacuate

the entire town?

We can't reveal details

of the investigation right now.

Have you uncovered anything

that may be of use to us?

This is a long shot, um,

but does

this mean anything to you?

Hello?

Hello?

- Hello?

- I'm up! I'm up!

Hi, Elliott.

Willow, what are you doing here?

Well, I tried calling

and no one answered the door

and we have a lot of work to do.

Okay, okay.

One night.

I had to get up at five

to start my chores.

I really have to see this Gulag

you live in.

It's not fun.

Scarlett's like a jailer.

Anyway, enough about that.

Fact is,

we ran out of the museum before

we got the chance

to find the next clue.

Thanks to Mr. Hexenmeister.

Unless he wasn't really there.

Wasn't really there?

What do you mean?

Maybe he has the power

to astral project himself

to a different location.

Uh-huh.

Well,

he was just suddenly there.

How do you explain that?

Well,

we waited in the men's room.

Maybe he waited

in the woman's room.

Oh.

And a creepy thought.

Anyway, we either

have to go back

or figure something else out.

You have the Aztec medallion,

right?

No. I thought you had it.

Oh great.

We lost that as well.

Okay. We saw a projection

of an Egyptian symbol for a sun.

That was cool.

And we have nothing else

at this point.

Wait, we do have one more thing.

The film.

No popcorn?

You can make it.

Oh, don't you start.

Here it is! Here it is!

So cool.

Nothing.

Run it again.

There! I saw something.

Can it go back?

Sure.

I saw it again.

Can you do a little bit

at a time?

You mean frame by frame? Sure.

Stop! See?

Wow. Good eye.

Jees, what is that?

It's a cartouche.

You would know that.

It's an Egyptian name

plate for a pharaoh or queen.

Each symbol is a letter.

This is a good sign.

The cartouche protects

you from evil.

Okay, got it.

Now we need a translation.

I know I've seen these.

Here. Help me find each symbol.

C.

E.

Uh, L.

I.

N.

E.

Celine?

- You ready?

- Yeah.

What's going on?

You seem distracted.

Those FBI guys, they came back

and I showed them a picture

in the old

book of the exploding ball.

Right. And?

They had the strangest

reaction,

as if they knew exactly

what they were looking at.

Really?

That is strange.

Keep me up to date

on their every move.

Are there any queens from

ancient Egypt named Celine?

None that I've ever

heard of, but

I'm not an Egyptologist.

How can the Cartouche

have the same name as my mom?

I'll make you

a good dinner.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Oh, hi. Hi Willow.

Hi Celine.

Hi Mom. Hey Uncle Dave.

Hey. Howdy.

I'm so glad you're here.

We were looking at that old book

that Elliott gave you,

and we came across this.

Oh, you found the orb.

The orb?

What is that?

It's an object from antiquity

said to have great powers.

But that's all I know.

Well, the FBI came by my office

today,

and I showed this to them,

and they were very concerned.

So, do you have any idea why?

I really don't know.

Could it be used to harm people?

I mean, I guess

it could be,

but no one knows where it is

for starters. And I don't even

know if it really exists.

- Oh.

- Oh, well.

I guess there's

nothing to worry about, then.

It is a bit hard to believe in

an exploding baseball

from a book of old legends, so.

That's true.

Hi, Elliott.

I'll be right there.

So we're having our meetings

in public spaces now?

My mom's out now, but

she could come home

at any moment.

Check this.

I wonder.

See if it matches?

Look at that.

They're the same.

So what does this mean?

My mom's an Egyptian queen

who wears the Greek symbol

for the sun?

I have no idea.

Hey, lool. It's Scarlett.

Oh, yeah.

And she's flirting

with a really hot guy.

I wouldn't say he's hot.

What is that?

Oh, just a little project

I've been working on.

Now, let's see.

My hair's just so long.

What are you doing?

This is amazing.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Why wouldn't I be?

I've got to go.

Don't call me.

Okay, let's go before she sees.

This is all so confusing.

Your mom must be very special.

Yeah, I guess so.

Elliott.

Have you ever seen that pendant

your mom was wearing

in the picture anywhere?

No, I've never seen it before.

Does your mom

have a jewelry box?

Willow, no.

We're not going to steal it.

I just want to look at it.

It's the only ancient sun

symbol we haven't found.

It's the key

to this whole thing.

Willow!

I'll be the one who looks.

Okay.

Nothing.

Well, a girl knows a few things

boys do not.

Oh, it's so beautiful.

Wow. I had no idea

my mom had that.

Where do you think

she got from?

Could be a family heirloom.

Elliott!

Oh, my gosh.

Put it back, put it back!

No! But we need it.

We need it.

Hey, you two.

What are you up to

on a Saturday afternoon?

Oh, nothing.

Yeah, not much.

Okay.

I have to go now.

Bye.

Bye.

Sprocket.

I think she's a bit of a

strange girl.

Hey Scarlett, what's up?

What happened to you?

I don't know,

but I'm going to find out.

Get in.

North becomes east.

Willow!

Willow!

What did you do,

you little witch?

Nothing.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

I saw you and your little dork

friend at the park.

Hey! That's mine.

Is this me?

Um, no.

That's just a doll I made.

It looks a lot like me.

Oh no, Scarlett.

You're much thinner

than that.

There's only one solution

for a troublemaker like you.

No, Scarlett.

And that's

where you'll stay!

Scarlett, what are you doing?

You don't understand.

I've been expecting you.

Why don't you pick up

last night?

I had some problems

to deal with.

Last night I had this dream.

Go on.

I saw the orb

descending from the sky,

and then it disappeared into

what appeared to be stepping

stones.

And I know where the stepping

stones are located.

- You do?

- Yes, on this property!

You little...

Have you ever seen those

stepping stones

anywhere on your property?

Oh, I have no idea.

They have to be buried back here

someplace.

Was there

maybe a cabin or shed back here

maybe a hundred years ago?

How would I know that?

We need tools, rakes and stuff.

Hey, kids.

Oh, uh.

- Hey, Mom.

- What are you doing?

Um.

Just cleaning the yard.

Oh, early on a Sunday

and you recruited Willow

to help you?

Yes.

Okay,

well, I'm just going to run out,

run a couple of errands

for a few hours, okay?

- Okay.

- Bye, Celine!

All right, well, have fun. Bye.

Hey, I think Sprocket

found something.

Remove more dirt.

It's one of the stones,

it's got to be.

The next one is right over here.

This is it! This is it!

The shovel! The shovel!

Dig, dig, dig!

Dig down.

This is it, this is it!

We found it!

That's it! You found it!

Man, this thing is cool.

Look, I bet I know

what that's for.

The medallion, please.

- Here we go.

- Wait.

I'm not sure we should.

Whatever this is,

I'm not sure

it was meant to be found.

Run!

Oh, don't let me interrupt,

children.

I believe

we've arrived just in time.

Please proceed.

This isn't yours.

We found it.

Oh yes, of course.

How rude of me. I forgot.

Congratulations are in order.

If this is what I think it is,

then you have unearthed a secret

that has been hidden

for millennia.

Now, please continue

with the opening of the box.

Or do you require assistance

from Mr. Obarski?

Open it.

Elliott, I'm home.

Elliott, are you there?

You up there?

Huh.

Wow.

Wow, look at this place.

It is really nice.

It's the model

of the whole town.

And the dam.

What's this for?

Once the orb is placed here,

it will explode

and destroy the dam.

The whole town will be flooded.

You're

the most evil man in history.

That's not to scale.

Yes, it is.

Please take a seat, children.

Your plan will never succeed.

Elliott, do you know what

happened to your father?

Yeah.

His jet crashed into the sea.

No.

I am your father.

What?

Just kidding.

You should have seen your face.

Did we get that for our YouTube

channel?

I crack myself up sometimes.

Where were we? Yes.

Get me the orb.

Now...

I have the orb.

Catch him!

They'll never catch him.

He's way too smart for them.

Their boss isn't

too bright either.

- Mom?

- Celine!

Celine.

So nice of you to join us.

Mom, how did you

get back here?

I'll explain later.

Right now

we have some unfinished business

to attend to. Indeed.

Indeed, Celine.

Our families have been opposed

for hundreds of years.

And now it is at an end.

Someone should tie you

in a chair and force you

to listen to eighties music.

Eighties music rocks.

You love eighties music.

What's your favorite band?

Duran Duran.

I love Duran Duran.

They're so great.

I told you!

Right.

Now.

This way, please.

Mom, we've got to run!

We're not running.

Did any one of you see

a round medallion

about this big in gold?

Thank you.

And now the end.

We'll see about that.

My turn.

Exit stage right.

Wow, Mom. That was amazing.

Thank you.

So, Celine, you're

really a witch--

Oh! We will talk about it later.

Let's get out of here before

his g*ons come back, okay?

Sprocket! Okay.

Let's go. Come on.

Come in, come in!

Okay, so I have

a million questions.

So you're really a witch and

your whole family are witches

and is that

why you moved to Wickensburg?

Why did you keep this a secret?

I'm just like, so excited!

Okay, okay.

Yes. All the women in my family

have supernatural powers,

but we are not witches.

What about the boys, Mom?

I'm still not sure

about your powers, Elliott.

I can't believe I know someone

with actual supernatural powers.

I knew they were real.

I knew it.

Willow.

You have to promise me

that you're

going to guard this secret,

just like

my family's been doing

for hundreds of years.

I promise.

But what about

Mr. Hexenmeister?

So, he really was a warlock?

Yes, he is.

And what if he comes back?

- Uncle Dave!

- Hey, g*ng.

Willow, Elliott.

These are agents

Connie and Tracy.

Uh.

Actually, Celine.

They're not FBI.

What do you mean?

Well, they're um...

I'll let them tell you.

We belong to an ancient order

whose descendants are tasked

with guarding the Orb of Zathina

to make sure it doesn't

fall into the wrong hands.

So cool.

And I hear we have a

hero dog who saved the day

that did our job for us.

Yes, we do.

This is Sprocket.

Then this belongs to you.

Thank you, young lady.

- You.

- Me?

Yes, you!

Yeah, you.

Oh, no, no, I really

didn't do anything wrong.
