Wizards

[Woman Narrating]

The world blew up

in a thousand atomic fireballs.

The first blast was set off

by five terrorists.

It took two million years...

for some of the radioactive clouds

to allow some sun in.

By then, only a handful

of humans survived.

The rest of humanity had

changed into hideous mutants.

These mutant species

floundered in the bad areas...

radioactive lands that never allowed

them to become human again...

and made each birth a new disaster.

Then, in the good lands...

they came back,

arising from their long sleep...

fairies, elves, dwarves--

the true ancestors of man.

They lived happily in the good areas.

It was a big day in Montagar.

Delia, queen of the fairies...

was presiding over the feast of plenty...

celebrating 3,000 years of peace.

In the midst of the celebration...

Delia felt a pull from the skies.

She looked up

and saw dark clouds...

forming on the horizon in every direction.

She fell into a trance

and left the party...

heading for her home on a high hill.

At first, the fairies were puzzled.

But then they too felt

a force drawing them to follow.

Delia was alone inside.

The storm grew until

it was a raging cyclone...

hovering over the dwelling.

One of the older fairies

ventured inside the house.

There lay Delia on her bed...

holding a pair of twins in her arms.

The older fairy instantly knew that...

these were not ordinary twins,

but magical wizards.

The baby wizards were

polarized like magnets...

one attracting with a magnetic draw...

the other repelling

and impossible to get near.

A vatar, the kind and good wizard...

spent much of his boyhood...

entertaining his mother

with beautiful visions.

Blackwolf, the mutant wizard...

would never visit his mother...

and spent his time

torturing small animals.

More years passed,

and Delia continued to slip.

Finally, all life drained out of her...

andA vatar held her hand

trying desperately to use

his magic to restore her.

He cradled her in his arms and wept.

when Blackwolffound that

his mother had died, he was excited...

for now he felt he would take over

her leadership and rule the land.

when A vatar confronted

Blackwolf, he was enraged.

They began a furious battle.

Each using his magic, they continued...

until they had nearly destroyed each other.

But A vatar's magic was stronger...

because he had the emotional loss

of his mother that drove him on.

Blackwolfwas defeated.

"The day will come, my brother,

when I will return...

and make this a planet

where mutants rule. "

Blackwolfheaded off,

leaving A vatar very disturbed.

The ti me has come.

Ki I l!

[ Laughi ng ]

wel l, hello, handsome.

- [ Boing-ing ]

- Hello, honey.

He is called Necron 99.

He is one of Blackwolf's assassins.

He travels the land destroying

the believers of magic.

[ Horse Neighing ]

[ Man Reading ] "My children,

the only true technology is nature.

"All the other forms

of manmade technology...

"are perversions.

"The ancient dictators used technology...

to enslave the masses."

[ Chittering ]

- weehawk, can't we stay here for tonight?.

- No.

Just for a few hours' rest.

- I sense something.

- But the road is clear.

we haven't seen an assassin for days.

A clever assassin stays hidden.

Avatar must be warned.

Our mission is nearly over, westwind...

but now it's time for one final run.

[ Tweeting ]

- well?.

- They're not backyet, my president.

[ Giggling]

- They're really late now,

aren't they, old wizard?.

- [ Tweeting ]

Bad magic, isn't it?.

And ifthey don't show...

you'll know no more than you did before.

- [ Giggling ]

- How true, fairy goddess

of the New world...

but ifthey don't show...

I think that will tell us something too.

Damn it, Avatar! Ifthere's any danger...

maybe we should--

maybe we should arm our states.

- Science and technology?.

- There's no time for that.

Even ifwe could impress

our people with the danger...

science and technologywere outlawed...

millions of years ago...

and, we must admit...

it's been a peaceful world since then.

Enough, wizard!

I demand to know whatyou know...

- orI'll banishyou!

- [ Growling ]

[ Giggling ]

Banish him?.

But, Father, who will teach me...

all the magic I've left to learn?.

Only Avatar can make me...

a full-fledged fairy.

As you can see, I'm only halfthere.

Allright. All right.

- ?? [ Music Plays ]

- I'll tell you...

ifyou thinkyou can handle it.

what doyou know

about war, about bombs...

that could turn

a planet molten and liquid?

To think it could start again...

ten million years after the final one.

Sometimes I get tired of being so old.

Sometimes...

being a wizard is lonely at the top.

we're waiting, old, old wizard.

[ Giggles ]

You know about my brother.

well, as theyears passed...

I searched for my brother in vain.

He had settled

in the dark land of Scortch...

where people still died of radiation.

[Narrator] For5,000years,

Blackwolfstudied black arts...

increasing his wisdom 1 0,000-fold.

He built a small following

of frog-like creatures...

but needed more troops

for his evil plans.

He then formed an army

whose generals were called up...

from the black shadows of hell.

Souls who waited for untold eternities

for a new leader...

Blackwolf's tremendous power...

enslaved them all to carry out his will.

Then stories of Blackwolf's armies...

attacking neighboring countries came back.

Demons of hell armed with black magic...

but they would get bored...

or sidetracked in the middle of battle...

and give up, running home.

Fritz! Fritz, get up,

for God's sake! Get up!

They've killed Fritz!

They've killed Fritz!

Those lousy, stinking, yellow fairies!

Those horrible, atrocity-filled vermin!

Those despicable, animal warmongers!

They've killed Fritz!

Take that! Take this!

Take that, you green slime!

- You black-hearted, short bow-legged--

- Max!

Max, I'm okay! I'm okay, Max.

Just a scratch.

- Look, I'm all right.

- Oh. Oh, damn.

Thereyou go again

stepping on my lines...

raining on my parade, costing me medals.

- Oh, damn!

- [ Groans ]

Ohh. Oh, Fritz?.

Fritz, get up, for God's sake! Get up!

They've killed Fritz!

They've killed Fritz!

Those lousy, stinking, yellow fairies!

Those horrible, atrocity-filled vermin!

Take this! Take that! They killed Fritz!

but theylacked...

the motivation and inspiration.

Blackwolfknew he needed more.

He sent his huge armies out

to excavate ancient ruins...

for links to the past.

of pre-holocaust technology...

were being dug up and marched

back to Scortch I.
