Vixen: The Movie Page #5

it all happened this way.

That necklace you wear

is also one of the lost totems of Zambesi.

We both know the power within it is real.

And now that I have found one of its

siblings, think of what we could learn.

I think I have learnt enough, thanks.

And I haven't had much luck with siblings.

You're connected to this, Mari.

Whether you wanna be or not.

I've gotta make a call.

Cisco?

- Hey. Thanks for getting back to me.

- Why the 911?

Weather Wizard's tearing up Monument Point.

It's kind of an all-hands-on-deck

type situation.

Any suggestions?

Tornados aren't really my thing.

Superheating the air

around the tornados

should theoretically destabilize them.

We got the tornados, Firestorm.

Deal with the tsunami.

What? Sushi's attacking Monument Point now?

A tsunami is a catastrophic tidal wave.

You really thought I didn't know that?

Unwinding a tornado

was the very first trick I learnt.

Okay. I'm here.

Oh, your timing is beyond awesome.

I'll help Jax and Professor Stein,

you deal with Weather Wizard.

Why do you let Cisco name the bad guys?

I ask myself that question a lot.

- Mari.

- Mari!

Mari, sweetie?

Can you hear me? Mari?

Oh, thank God. There you are.

Dad?

So have you thought about

giving fashion design a second chance?

Monument Point.

They're all fine, sweetie.

Thanks to you and your new friends.

They are not my new anything.

Thieves broke into the Detroit

Museum of Natural History late last night.

A spokesperson for the museum confirmed

that an unspecified number

of gemstones were stolen,

including the museum's most recent addition,

the lost totem of Zambesi.

Such a shame.

Patty and I used to love

taking you there when you were little.

Museum officials refuse

to speculate on the totems...

You need rest.

And I wasn't kidding about you

going back to fashion design.

You know what I like about fashion design?

Nobody shoots you with bolts of lightning.

I tried to beg off, believe me.

But don't worry,

I am sticking to my street corners.

Is that a promise?

In this city.

I've got more than my share of trouble.

Captain says we need to stay sharp.

We need to keep the crime scene clear.

You got it?

Any idea what kind of person

would target your stone?

Totem. It has more historic

than pecuniary value.

It looks like a ruby,

but it's actually a tourmaline..

..indigenous to Zambesi.

- Wow. Fascinating.

The museum heist last night,

I wanna know who was behind it.

- I don't know about that job.

- Don't insult me, Drake!

When things go missing in this town,

you always know about it.

Not this time. Scout's honor.

You know what animal has

the most acute sense of smell?

A bear.

I can actually smell the lie on you.

You don't look like a bear.

Give me a name

and I'll harass him instead of you.

I really don't know.

I don't know who did the museum job.

But word on the street,

it was bankrolled by some foreigner

from Africa.

- I'm not packing.

- And you're not taking.

Not until I get my money.

I've traveled all the way

from Zambesi, Mr. Jones.

I have no desire to waste time haggling.

I'm not haggling.

A hundred thousand, take it or leave it.

May I see the stones first?

I would like to inspect

what I'll be paying for.

- Ah.

- This is the one.

Hey!

This stuff is mine till I get paid, a**hole!

Oh!

Your payment is forthcoming, Mr. Jones.

The hell...

Finally!

You look just like your mother.

- My mother?

- How do you know my...

I've scoured all of Africa

for the lost totems of Zambesi.

And in one evening

I am presented with not just one,

but two of them.

Who the hell are you?

And how do you know my mother?

Look out!

Get away!

I think we can still part on good terms.

Hand over your totem

and I'll let you go peacefully.

Really? You promise?

So you actually witnessed him

use the totem to control fire?

No, I just burned myself on a curling iron.

Incredible.

Each totem harnesses

a different but equal force for a reason.

To maintain a balance.

How am I supposed to

"balance" that kind of power?

You didn't see what he was capable of.

Tell me something useful.

Something that will help me stop this monster

before he burns up half of Detroit!

I can only approach this as an historian.

What you need is someone

who understands the magic.

Do you know someone like that?

- I believe I do.

- And you know her too.

How does it feel to be back home?

Well, from what you told me,

can't go any worse than it did last time.

Wanna bet?

What are you doing here?

Come to see what you did to me?

I don't think either of us has the kinda time

it would take to explain

just how screwed up that statement is.

Instead, maybe let's stop

pretending you're not the villain here.

You're the one who abandoned her ancestors.

No. I left a sister who tried to kill me.

Oh, is that how you justify

what you did to me?

The poison you subjected me to did its work.

The magic I held at my disposal

for so many years...

...turned on me.

Now I'm just a hollow thing.

And you come here now to taunt me.

No, to ask about this man.

The Zambesian ambassador..

..who arrived at Detroit last week.

He said I looked like our mother.

- Did she know him?

- Do you?

I know this man.

Not as some government official.

As a murderer.

He led the raid that destroyed our village,

killed our father, killed everyone.

Kuasa! Kuasa!

Where are you?

Ah! Just what I was looking for.

There is nothing here for you, Eshu!

General Eshu.

And what I seek lies around your neck.

Our mother tried to

defend our village with the spirit totem.

In doing so, she nearly lost her life.

She had a choice.

To die fighting...

...or to save you.

It seems she only thought

one daughter was worth living for.

This man calls himself Eshu.

And now he's come to Detroit.

For you. For the totem.

I think this totem

is just an unexpected bonus.

He has the Zambesi fire totem.

Then Detroit will burn

until both totems are in his hands.

He craves dominance over all beings.

He already has one totem.

And if he gets ours...

You mean mine.

You tried a spell

lo sever my link with this totem.

Is there something similar

we can try with his?

Our ancestors relied on spoken word and song

to pass on such vital information.

And much has been lost.

There is a collection

of stories and poems from this region

in the university archives.

There may be a more direct option.

There are five totems.

Earth, air, fire, water and spirit.

Which one to best combat fire?

Water.

I spent six months in Zambesi.

The water totem wasn't here.

I have no idea where to find it.

I do.

And if you want it,

you'll let me join you in this fight.

You really expect me to believe that

an ancient all-powerful water totem

is just collecting dust

in some guy's house in Star City?

The water totem changed many hands before

finding its way to auction in your country.

Two months ago, it landed here.

Its current owner
