- The magic we could have...

- Wait. What?

We're here so you can play with magic?

No, Jake, I can't open this without

you.

I need the four of us to cast a spell.

It's... I thought this book

might help us.

What's gonna help

is me not missing my footy trials.

I just want to get my scholarship

and get out of Bremin.

Yeah, dude, I've got my elemental

power.

Who needs the drag of talismans and

magic spells when I can just do this?

I've spent months

trying to find the owner of the lair.

This book could hold the answer.

Please, I need your help.

And if we open the book,

no more hand holding?

- That's the plan.

- Then we're done?

I guess.

Let's get this over with.

Before we begin,

I wanna say, all four of us,

together again, it's great.

Really. I mean, we should...

- Hurry up!

- OK. OK.

Keeper of wisdom, heed my call

Transcend your bonds and reveal to all

Earth, water, air, fire.

The talisman!

Well, that was unexpected.

I knew this book

was going to be special.

Is it too much to ask

for things to go right for once?

Argh!

Felix, what the hell?!

Dematerializing demon!

Intriguing.

- Focus, Andy!

- I got this.

I got this!

- Hopeless. Sam, get the talisman.

- Hurry!

OK, let's do this!

Water, fire, earth and air

Elements that we all share

Water, fire, earth and air

Elements that we all share.

Another Felix Ferne epic fail.

If we'd worked together...

Did you burn my eyebrow off? You did!

It's twisted.

The most important game of my life

tomorrow and my ankle's done.

- I had no idea that would happen.

- How many times have we heard that?

We did succeed in opening the book.

Yeah, but I'm down one eyebrow.

Sam, no-one cares.

My fans care. They want two of 'em!

- Felix!

- Your fans? Are you kidding me?

You're right! This Book Of Shadows,

these are the most complex spells

I've ever seen.

Incredible.

With this magic,

we'll be stronger than ever.

No. No more magic.

No more... this.

I'm sorry, hombre, but in case

you haven't noticed, we suck together.

Can't believe

I've done my ankle today.

- Andy?

- Well... I am curious.

But you've got Ellen as a water

element.

But if we're not together,

we can't do magic spells.

That's the point!

Not necessarily.

This is a spell of separation,

so we can do magic individually.

We can break the bond between us?

Guys, wait!

There's one problem, though.

What is it?

We have to destroy the talisman.

Thanks, guys. This means a lot to

Felix.

His life is kind of meaningless

without magic.

Thanks, Andy.

If I do this, you're giving me a spell

to get my eyebrow back, right?

You can do the spell on your own.

I don't know, guys.

Doesn't it seem crazy,

splitting the talisman?

You didn't seem so worried when

you let a light demon loose on us.

Felix, to unbind us,

we have to split it.

But it protects us.

Imagine, Felix. Our own magic.

It's the only way.

What was four shall be one

And what was one shall now be four

Bind the elements to each shard

And hold the power of them all.

That's it?

What now?

I suppose we take one each.

No, thanks.

- I'm done...

- Come on, Jake.

Just remember what we've been through.

Ah...

We'll still see each other at school.

Unless you get your scholarship.

Be back on weekends.

We can share our findings, right?

Swap spells?

Yeah, I guess so.

- Sol guess...

- That's it, then.

- Quick man hug?

- You think?

It's not really necessary, is it?

Then there was one.

There is so much hidden

beneath the surface of our world,

so much that we don't see or

understand,

like Negative Space - a place

that exists in between universes.

For a while, Andy was lost there,

but then he met Bear,

the Guardian of Negative Space.

Bear keeps all the craziness

of the multiverse in order.

But to do that, he needs human help.

His latest recruits are our friends,

Phoebe and Alice.

Imagine a galaxy. Good.

Now imagine the cosmos.

I could get used to this.

There's something wrong.

A disturbance?

More than that, I fear.

I can't see anything.

Why are the shadows spreading?

They're hiding something.

Order must be restored.

Let me go in.

Another disturbance.

Your turn, Phoebe.

Maybe we should wait for Alice.

I'm... I'm new to this.

You are a Guardian. It is your duty.

Don't be afraid. I'll power you.

Better not drop me.

Oh! Oh, that tickles!

Order must be restored.

Someone's having a good time.

Dad's speciality - rubbery pancakes

and music by dead people.

You look wrecked.

I feel worse.

How'd it go?

We opened it, but in the process,

we kinda broke up.

Sorry.

But maybe it's a good thing.

There's so much magical potential

in Bremin

that all we have to do

is find two new elements.

And then we can form our own team.

We've still got the talisman.

Actually...

something else happened

when we opened the book.

You broke the talisman?

I have to show you something.

Elements reveal and show

What I seek

What I must know.

What?

A scrying pool?

You're doing magic spells on your own?

Felix, I still need three other

elements to do magic, remember?

What about us?

- What about working together?

- Oh, I didn't mean for that...

It didn't occur to you?

What it would mean for me?

I'll help you find the other elements.

Don't bother. It's clear

I'm not that important to you anyway.

- I get that.

- Wait, I'm sorry.

I didn't think that... Oh!

Oh... for he can prophesy

with a wink of his eye

Peep with security into futurity

Sum up your history

Clear up a mystery...

- What are you singing?

Practice for the big night.

Bremin Amateur Musical Theatre Society.

Yeah. Right. Good luck with that.

- Trouble in paradise'? Bit of a tiff'?

- It's nothing.

Hey, son.

Take some advice from an expert.

Sometimes with women,

you gotta work to keep the magic alive.

Sorry, Dad,

but you're giving me the talk now?

I've got the internet.

Right. Yeah. 'Course you have.

Well, these pancakes

aren't going to burn themselves.

He has answers oracular

Bogies spectacular

Tetrapods tragical

Mirrors so magical

Facts astronomical

Solemn or comical

And, if you want it,

he takes a reduction

On making a quantity, oh...

You'd better be worth it.

Watch out for bindies.

Bare feet? That's just reckless.

This is yours for the taking.

No need for magic.

No tricks.

I'm now ready

for a critical new experiment.

With my control of magic, I can open

a Lorentzian traversable Wormhole.

A theoretical concept which, to

science, has been impossible to create.

Until now.

Hmm. Curious.

Divinity of the elements, I summon thee

Through this world we can see

Another place where we can be

Take the fire, make it burn

Take the air and make it turn

Take this water and this earth

And to another world call us forth.

I'm back!

Andy! What are you doing?

I had to come back. ls that bad?

It's insane.

I know, right?

My own Lorentzian traversable Wormhole.

Smooth.

Don't let anyone see you.

You've got no idea
