CHAPTER THREE - SAVE THE MEMBERS

FADE IN

INT. AMANDA'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Wyatt and Manada have just finished studying and are packing down the stuff.

AMANDA: Thanks for your help, Wyatt! If you hadn't been here tonight, I'd probably wouldn't know how to mix en etina elixir with body fluied within three minutes without it exploding.

Wyatt bursts into laughs at the comment.

WYATT: Hey! Don't mention it. You have the talent, you just need a little help to get the grip.

Amanda stands upstraight again and offers:

AMANDA: Do you want some juice and a sandwich. You must be hungry. I think you've earned something to drink and to eat after tonight's work.

WYATT: (thinks) Hm… (accepts the offer) Yeah, a little juice and some sandwich would be nice.

AMANDA: Okay.

Amanda heads to the kitchen and leaves Wyatt alone in the living room. Suddenly his cellphone rings and he answers the call.

WYATT: Hello?

CHRIS: (phone) Wyatt, where are you?

WYATT: Home to Amanda. Why?

CHRIS: (phone) Listen, we've a problem here. You gotta come home A.S.A.P.

WYATT: What's wrong?

CHRIS: (phone) We ran into a bunch warlocks whom we think are after a teenage boy that we saved.

WYATT: Ok. I'll be home as soon as I can.

With that, he hangs up and picks the bag and then goes to the hangar to get his jacket. Amanda comes out with a sandwich on a plate in one hand and a glass of juice in the other one.

AMANDA: What's wrong?

WYATT: Uh, my brother just called and said he needed help with... algebra. I have to go, Amanda. I'm sorry.

AMANDA: Don't worry about it.

WYATT: I'll see you at school tomorrow.

AMANDA: Sure.

WYATT: Bye.

AMANDA: Bye.

Wyatt closes the door behind him. Amanda sighs and looks a little disappointed.

INT. AMANDA'S APARTMENT - PARKING LOT

Wyatt comes out of the building and is on his way to his car. The camera moves slowly away from Wyatt to... the warlock in red from the abandoned factory, who slowly moves in closer to Wyatt from behind. Suddenly, Wyatt gets an uncomfortable feeling and stops. The warlock stops as well and immediately hides behind a silver car; probably a Toyota.

Wyatt turns around but sees nobody, but he can still feel the presence of something evil. He turns around and tries to remember how his father taught him to focus and sense.

Wyatt: (talks out of his memories) "Let go of your senses and follow the presence until it's found".

After speaking these words, he closes his eyes and starts to look for the presence. The camera shows a fuzzy scenne that moves from Wyatt through the parking lot, from one car to another and then to a tree etc.

The warlock gets restless and comes out of hiding. Just then, the fuzzy camera moves to the warlock's right side.

Wyatt pulls together his senses, turns around quickly and throws his arm at the warlock and telekinetically sends him flying backwards. The warlock stands up fast, throws his arm at Wyatt and a knife appears in midair flying toward him. Wyatt moves aside, but isn't fast enough and the knife manages to cut his chin and hits the tree behind him. Wyatt looks at the knife for a moment, and then turns back to the warlock, who is getting ready to attack again. But this time he reacts faster, and throws his arm again and sends the warlock flying. At the same time the warlock falls to the ground, Wyatt turns to the knife and reaches out his hand.

WYATT: Knife!

The knife disappears in blue and white lights. Wyatt then throws his hand he used to call for the knife at the warlock and it reappears and flies into his chest and he explodes along with it. Wyatt looks around to make sure that no one saw anything. Once he realizes that coast is clear, he runs off.

INT. APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM

Chris places white crystals around the place, with every crystal glowing a bit as soon as they are settled down.

CHRIS: The crystals will keep us safe. They cannot find us as long as we stay here.

SEBASTIAN: Are you sure?

Henry and Chris nod.

HENRY: Yes, we're pretty sure. It's what he'd learned.

SEBASTIAN: Learned?

Henry is doubting about telling him, but doesn't feel like they've got any other choice after all he's been through tonight.

HENRY: You see, (looks at Chris, who can't believe what he's about to say) we are witches.

SEBASTIAN: Excuse me?

HENRY: We're witches with real magical powers, but you don't have to be afraid of us.

Wyatt comes home, Chris and Henry go to the entrance door as soon as they hear him come in.

WYATT: Hey.

Chris and Henry see the wound on his face.

CHRIS: (points to the wound) What happened?

WYATT: I was attacked by a warlock outside of Amanda's apartment.

CHRIS & HENRY: (at the same time) YOU?

Wyatt sees Sebastian.

WYATT: Who is he?

HENRY: Ah, this is Sebastian. He was also attacked by a warlock.

CHRIS: Four, actually. But according to what we know he doesn't have any powers, which means he's not a witch.

WYATT: Ok, but then… how did you find him?

Chris and Henry look at each other. Henry is the first one to explain.

HENRY: I heard that ringing you and Chris had, and at the same time I heard him crying for help.

CHRIS: And got a premonition of him needing it.

Wyatt is surprised by what he just heard.

WYATT: Premonition?

Henry nods. He is just as surprised as his cousins.

CHRIS: And that's not all. He even froze time and that saved us out of that trouble.

Wyatt is even more surprised at Henry.

WYATT: Wow! That's great news. I mean, premonitions and freezing are a witch's powers.And you've always wanted to have witches' magic.

HENRY: (a little excited) Yeah, well…

SEBASTIAN: (interrupts) Excuse me, can you guys please tell me what you're talking about? Cuz I can't get a damn thing.

CHRIS: Ok, let's just focus on what's important.

WYATT & HENRY: Ok.

They all turn back to Sebastian.

CHRIS: Why were you attacked by those warlocks?

SEBASTIAN: I don't know. I just went into the factory with a friend of mine to find shelter. The next thing I knew, one of the guys just came in and... killed him.

CHRIS: I'm sorry.

Wyatt, Chris, Henry and Sebastian make sad faces. Henry is the first one to resume to the subject.

HENRY: But why did they come after you?

SEBASTIAN: I don't know. (remembers) They said something about stopping the Kanash-... something from resurrecting.

CHRIS: The Kanashda Clan?

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, I think so.

Henry and Wyatt are surprised at Chris' guessing.

WYATT: How did you know that?

CHRIS: I went and had a chat with the Elders earlier today. They said something about the Kanashda Clan being resurrected, and that dark powers are trying to stop that from occuring by killing every potential member.

SEBASTIAN: (panicks) What is that? The Kanshda Clan? Can somebody please tell me what's going on? I'm losing my mind!

Wyatt walks closer to calm him down.

WYATT: Relax, Sebastian. We can explain.

HENRY: We can?

Wyatt catches Henry's eye; he obviously doesn't know what the Kanashda Clan is. But Chris aproaches and explains.

CHRIS: The Kanshda Clan was an army of powerful warriors - both magical and non-magical, from fiften hundred years ago. But it split up after the ultimate battle against the emperor Malavoc.

HENRY: Malavoc? The emperor who ruled the buried city of Zanbar?

CHRIS: Bingo. Zanbar was buried the same day the emperor died, and the clan was destroyed along with it because most of the members were buried along with it.

SEBASTIAN: What does this have to do with me?

WYATT: Your blood might be related to the clan of Kanashda, and now that it's about to resurrect...

HENRY: … evil is joining forces to keep that from happening.

CHRIS: And that's why you're being chased. Because you might be a descendant to one of the members.

SEBASTIAN: But I don't know any magic.

WYATT: Like my brother said, the clan contained both magical and non-magical warriors. You have your ancestors' blood in you. Even if you don't have powers, you should be able to do something, such as combat skills.

HENRY: I'm not surprised if he suddenly…

Henry's sentence is interrupted by the same ringing, this time all three of them can hear it.

CHRIS: Evil must be out there taking out the descendants as we speak. We have to stop them. (looks atWyatt) So, what should we do?

Henry and Sebastian also look at him.

WYATT: Why are you looking at me? You're not thinking about dropping the responsibility on me, are you?

HENRY: Wyatt, youre more powerful than any of us, plus you're the oldest so it's only fair if you take charge. We could really use some leadership if we wanna save the innocents.

WYATT: Okay. (thinks) Okay, here's what we'll do: I'll locate the descendants and gather them in Magic School, because here is too little. Chris, you go and have another chat with the Elders and try to find out what they know about this resurrection. Henry... take Sebastian and the Book of Shadows to Magic School and find out more about this Kanaika...

HENRY & CHRIS: Kanashda.

WYATT: Whatever. I'll meet you there.

Once the planned is ready, Wyatt and Chris orb out of there

Henry goes to pick up the Book of Shadows on the table and reaches Sebastian his hand, but Sebastian refuses to be touched by him.

HENRY: Sebastian, come on.

SEBASTIAN: No! This is way too much. I can't handle this.

HENRY: Sebastian, listen to me. I know you're afraid, but right now it's not the time to freak out, because now you also know that you have a destiny to fulfill.

SEBASTIAN: (still resisting) No. I don't even belive in magic, this is just not right.

Henry remembers the reverse psychology his mother used to use on him and tries to use it on Sebastian right now.

HENRY: Okay, you know what? You're right, you have no destiny. You're just a forgotten one who shouldn't even exist. Du might as well just go back out there and live your life as a homeless man again. Eating trash, get cash from drugs or by stealing from others. And sleep on the street until you die, completely ignored by other people. Completely meaningless in life, and nobody even cares that you're dead.

That last part affected Sebastian.

HENRY: Well?

He is still resistent, but gives him his hand and they orb out.

GRIFFITH OBSERVATORIY - ROOF TOP - NIGHT

It's a beautiful night. Chris is waiting for the Elders to respond his call. An Elder finally appears in front of him.

CHRIS: Thank you for coming.

ELDER: No problem. Yo do need some answers.

CHRIS: Good, because I need to find out what warlocks or demons are after the descendants and why this clan is resurrecting right now.

ELDER: A new age has arrived. The Underworld is being reorganized, och they plan to resurrect the magical city Zanbar, but those descendants of the Kanashda Clan who know about their origins, are also aware of that and are trying to stop it from happening by gathering every since descendant to the clan. Especially now that your mother and her sisters have quit their job as the Charmed Ones.

CHRIS: Are you saying that this is their fault?

ELDER: No, of course not. After everything they've been through, they deserve to live their lives as normal people again. And now it's not their job to gather the descendants either. It's your brother's.

Chris gets confused by that last part.

CHRIS: What do you mean?

ELDER: Go to Magic School and find some books there, and you'll find out. We have told the other whitelighters to take the surviving descendants to safety, so you don't have to worry much about them.

WIthout missing a second, the Elder orbs out of there leaving Chris confused and frustrated.

CHRIS: Hey! You said you were gonna give us answers! What do you call that? (talks to himself) Typical Elders.

Chris is frustrated and upset, but at the same time grateful for finding out that other whitelighters are finding the descendants all over the globe and taking them to safety.

CHRIS: (quietly) Thank you.

MAGIC SCHOOL - ASSEMBLY ROOM

Henry and Sebastian are sitting behind a pile of books and reading one in their hands. There are many people in the room, some of them are wounded, possibly more descendants to the Kanashda Clan, sitting all around the room. And some of them are being taken care of by some students in Magic School.

A familiar voice (from the original Charmed) speaks to Henry.

VOICE: Are these all the books you need?

Henry turns to... Leo Wyatt - the headmaster of Magic School and Henry's uncle and Wyatt and Chris' father, his hair is grey blond and he wears a black robe.

Note (don't get it wrong, it's the headmaster of Magic School, not the headmaster of Henry's school)

HENRY: Yeah, thanks, uncle Leo. We've got more help than we can ask for.

LEO: Aw, you're welcome.

Wyatt appears with a man who's knee is wounded. Wyatt holds up his arm to help him balance.

MAN: Thank you.

WYATT: Yeah, you're welcome.

He helps him to the big couch, where two girls are sitting on.

WYATT: Hi, dad.

LEO: Hi.

HENRY: Wow! You seem busier than you used to be.

WYATT: Tell me about it. Usually I'd be sleeping at this time. And here I thought I'd be good at fighting demons after all these years of training.

LEO: I understand. Your mom and your aunts made sure that no demon was able to come after you, so I understand that you're not used to fighting demons. Even training is different than real battles.

HENRY: In this case, I kinda wish I would've come into my powers sooner, then I would've been able to have the same training as the others.

LEO: Don't worry, Henry. It's never too late to learn. I'm gonna go and get a few rooms for the descendants and leave you alone on your mission.

WYATT: Thanks.

Leo leaves them and asks a few students to help bring the wounded ones and the others to go along with him.

HENRY: I'll keep looking in the books

Henry starts reading again, but Sebastian gets tired of it.

SEBASTIAN: Forget it. There are way too many books in here. It'll take forever to look.

HENRY: You're right. (comes up with an idea) Wait here.

He puts down the book, closes his eyes and concentrates. Sebastian and Wyatt just look at him curiously.

HENRY: (chants)

This book I'm looking shall be here,

Come to me from far and near.

Facts, history and answers are what I seek,

For the Clan of Kanashda I beseech.

One second later, a book comes flying toward Henry and stops in midair, in front of him. He grabs the book.

Wyatt is impressed by Henry's spell even though he's new to witchcraft.

WYATT: Wow, not bad for a beginner.

HENRY: I used to eavesdrop on mom when she was teaching my sisters how to cast spells. And practiced a couple of times (embarrassed to admit what he's about to say) But it never worked.

Wyatt smiles at him, he is proud of his cousin. One second later, Chris orbs into the room.

WYATT: Hey.

CHRIS: Hey. So how's it going here?

WYATT: Not much. They're still looking in the books. And it seems like non of our ancestors has ever met a member of the Kanashda Clan, cause there's nothing in the Book of Shadows. What have you got?

CHRIS: A clue that doesn't make ay sense. They told me to come to you and look through the books with you.

HENRY & WYATT: That's so like the Elders.

CHRIS: Oh, and they said that it's your task (points at Wyatt) to take care of the Kanashda Clan.

Wyatt is surprised by what he'd just said.

WYATT: Me? Why me?

CHRIS: Good question.

The ringing comes back: someone's calling for help again.

HENRY: Okay. If we don't get this thing done soon, I'm gonna go and complain to the Elders for inventing this damn signal.

WYATT: I'll go.

With that, he orbs out.

HOUSE - LIVING ROOM

Wyatt orbs into the living room, but then sees the one who called for help lying on the floor. Dead.

WYATT: Oh no.

The camera zooms to a figure hiding in the shadows. But before Wyatt has a chance to react, an arrow flies into his stomach. He screams out of pain and falls on his knees, poisoned by the arrow's poison. The figure comes out of the shadows and reveals to be the warlock who attacked the witch in the back alley earlier. He approaches Wyatt and smiles evilly.

WARLOCK: Hey, Wyatt.

Wyatt falls to the floor as the poison moves around his body.

WARLOCK: Or should I say... King Wyatt - the Leader of the Kanashda Clan?

After saying that last word, he grabs Wyatt's shoulder and blinks out of the place, with Wyatt.

FADE OUT
