AAH!
NICE WORK, GENTLEMEN.
NOW ALL I NEED TO MAKE IT A PERFECT DAY
IS A VISIT FROM THE AVENGERS.
[ LAUGHS ]
Hawkeye: CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, REAPER.
HAWKEYE, WHERE'S MY BROTHER?
OR IS THE GREAT WONDER MAN AFRAID TO FACE ME?
[ LAUGHS ]
[ CHUCKLES ] FRY THEM.
YOU BOYS LIKE TO PLAY WITH GOVERNMENT GOLD, HUH?
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GROUNDED.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ LAUGHING ]
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES ]
WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!
OH, MY GOLD!
GIVE IT UP, WILLIAMS.
YOU'LL NEVER TAKE THE GRIM REAPER.
YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES --
JUST LIKE MY BROTHER.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ ALL COUGHING ]
OH, WE LOST HIM.
Vision: I'M GLAD SIMON WASN'T HERE TO SEE THIS.
Wanda: OH, SIMON, WILL YOU EVER AWAKEN?
YOU WERE -- ARE SO GOOD, SO KIND.
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE GRIM REAPER IS YOUR BROTHER.
PLEASE, YOU MUST COME BACK TO US, TO ME.
WANDA.
SORRY. I DID NOT MEAN TO INTRUDE.
I...WAS JUST CHECKING ON WONDER MAN.
VISION, DO YOU THINK HE SHALL EVER RECOVER?
HIS LIFE FUNCTIONS REMAIN STABLE.
HIS BODY ENDURES.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED YOU.
I WAN TO KNOW IF SIMON WILL BE HIMSELF IF HE WAKES --
IF HE WILL EVER LAUGH OR CRY WITH ME
AND TAKE ME IN HIS ARMS.
I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT.
I AM SORRY, MY FRIEND.
OF COURSE YOU COULD NOT KNOW.
MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS DONE EVERYTHING IT CAN
FOR WONDER MAN.
THAT'S IT!
HOW COULD I NOT HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE?
THERE IS ONE THING WE HAVE NOT TRIED.
PERHAPS SOMETHING EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN SCIENCE --
THE POWER OF SORCERY.
BUT EVEN YOUR POWERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO RESTORE WONDER MAN.
PERHAPS NOT MINE,
BUT THOSE OF MY TEACHER, AGATHA HARKNESS.
[ BELL TOLLS ]
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING ]
[ KNOCKING ON DOOR ]
AGATHA?
AGATHA!
IT IS WANDA.
I MUST SPEAK WITH YOU.
WELCOME, MY DEAR.
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE SENSED YOUR SORROW.
I KNOW WHY YOU HAVE COME.
THEN YOU CAN HELP REVIVE WONDER MAN.
OH, MY SWEET CHILD,
I KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN FOR YOU.
I WOULD HAVE OFFERED TO HELP SOONER,
BUT A GREAT EVIL IS COMING.
I HAVE BEEN PREPARING MYSELF TO FACE IT.
YOU MUST LEAVE NOW!
AGATHA, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
WHAT IS THIS EVIL?
LET ME HELP YOU.
[ YOWLS ]
Agatha: IT IS TOO LATE.
THE EVIL IS HERE.
NICHOLAS, HOW DARE YOU?!
Nicholas: SURELY YOU DIDN'T THINK
YOU WOULD HIDE FROM US FOREVER.
WE'VE COME TO TAKE YOU HOME
AND AWAY FROM THIS MEDDLER, THIS FAKE.
NICHOLAS SCRATCH, YOU'VE KNOWN ME FOR A LONG TIME.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
THIS IS FAMILY BUSINESS.
IT DOESN'T CONCERN THE LIKES OF YOU.
YOU CANNOT MEAN TO HARM YOUR OWN MOTHER!
SILENCE!
YOU'VE INTERFERED IN MY AFFAIRS
FOR THE LAST TIME, WANDA.
[ GRUNTING ]
RELEASE HER.
UP IS DOWN AND RIGHT IS LEFT.
BY THE POWER OF VERTIGO, YOU'RE OUT OF STEP.
AAAH!
NICHOLAS, HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME?
VERY GOOD, MOTHER,
BUT YOUR BOUNCING BABY BOY HAS LEARNED A FEW NEW TRICKS.
WITH SPEED OF WIND, LIKE A BURST OF LIGHT,
JUDGES AND JUDGED PASS THROUGH THE NIGHT.
BY POWER OF BAT AND POWER OF SNAKE,
THE LONG ROAD HOME IS THE ONE WE TAKE.
AGATHA? WHERE ARE YOU?
YAH!
GIVE IT UP, AVENGERS.
[ LAUGHS ] THIS TOWN IS MY CANDY STORE.
WANDA! WANDA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!
AGATHA HARKNESS HAS BEEN ABDUCTED.
WE MUST FIND HER.
I FEAR FOR HER LIFE.
WANDA, I- I WISH WE COULD HELP,
BUT WITH THE GRIM REAPER ON A RAMPAGE,
WE'VE GOT OUR HANDS FULL.
I UNDERSTAND.
I WILL SEARCH FOR AGATHA ALONE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUES AS TO WHERE SHE'S BEEN TAKEN?
I AM CERTAIN HER SON NICHOLAS HAS TAKEN HER TO NEW SALEM.
WHERE'S THAT?
IT'S A -- A COMMUNITY OF SORCERERS
HIDDEN IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO.
AGATHA TOOK NICHOLAS AND I THERE DURING MY TRAINING.
SHE MUST BE THERE.
IT'S BEEN MANY YEARS, BUT --
BUT I AM CERTAIN I CAN FIND MY WAY AGAIN.
GOOD LUCK, WANDA.
VISION, I WILL RETURN YOU TO HEADQUARTERS
AND THEN BEGIN MY SEARCH FOR AGATHA.
WANDA, I CANNOT LET YOU GO INTO DANGER ALONE.
JUST LIKE SIMON.
THE NEW SALEMITES USED THEIR SORCERY
TO HIDE THEMSELVES FROM THE WORLD.
NEW SALEM IS SOMEWHERE NEAR HERE
IN THE VALLEY OF THE SEVEN PEAKS.
Agatha: WANDA.
I HEAR HER.
I FEEL AGATHA CALLING TO ME.
[ EBONY YOWLS ]
[ GRUNTING ]
SHE'S HERE.
WE MUST LAND.
[ EBONY MEOWS ]
VISION, CAN YOU FEEL IT?
THE POWER.
[ YOWLS ]
NEW SALEM IS HERE.
IT MAY BE DANGEROUS.
LET ME SCAN IT.
IT IS A FORCE FIELD,
BUT I CANNOT DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE ENERGY.
THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS NOT A FORCE FIELD.
IT IS SORCERY -- A CLOAKING SPELL.
HMM, I WONDER WHAT THE PROBABILITY IS
THAT I CAN DECIPHER IT.
WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE.
[ ELECTRIC CRACKLING ]
I HAVE BEEN TO NEW SALEM A HUNDRED TIMES,
YET I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH A FEELING OF DOOM.
I WILL SCAN FOR LIFE-FORMS.
GO NO FARTHER, MORTAL,
OR SUFFER MY VENOM.
[ HISSES ]
WE HAVE COME FOR AGATHA HARKNESS,
AND WE SHALL NOT LEAVE WITHOUT HER.
NO ONE SAID YOU WOULD LEAVE.
[ LAUGHS MANICALLY ]
MY MOTHER TURNED AGAINST US BECAUSE OF HER!
TAKE THEM.
[ ROARING ]
BY THE LIVING FLAME OF FORGE AND STEEL.
HOW DARE YOU?
[ GASPS ]
WANDA.
YOU ARE A PERFECT OPPONENT, SYNTHEZOID.
VAKUME FEEDS ON POWER.
[ POWER SHUTTING DOWN ]
VISION!
BY THE LIVING FLAME OF FORGE AND STEEL.
[ GRUNTING ]
MY MOTHER TAUGHT YOU INSTEAD OF ME.
SHE BETRAYED NEW SALEM FOR YOU.
AAH!
[ GRUNTING ]
NO, SHE LOVES YOU, NICHOLAS.
AAH!
NOW YOU AND YOUR SYNTHEZOID FRIEND
WILL BE EXHIBITS FOR THE PROSECUTION IN HER TRIAL.
SHE SHALL BE CONDEMNED.
AND YOU WILL ALL SHARE HER FATE.
YOU WILL ALL BE DESTROYED!
Nicholas: MY MOTHER, AGATHA HARKNESS, STANDS ACCUSED
OF VIOLATING THE FIRST LAW OF NEW SALEM.
SHE HAS LIVED AMONG THE MORTALS OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD
AND TAUGHT THEM OUR SECRETS.
NOW SHE'S BROUGHT THIS VERMIN TO NEW SALEM.
YOU TOOK YOUR MOTHER BY FORCE.
I CAME TO HELP MY FRIEND.
FRIEND?
[ LAUGHS ]
NO MORTAL CAN BE THE FRIEND OF AN IMMORTAL.
FOR CENTURIES, THE OUTSIDE WORLD CONDEMNED US,
FORCED US TO HIDE IN THE WILDERNESS.
THEY HAVE HUNTED US AND CORRUPTED THOSE WE LOVE.
I KNOW IT IS NOT EASY TO LIVE WITH ORDINARY HUMANS.
I HAVE BEEN FEARED FOR BEING A WITCH.
LIAR! YOU'RE NO WITCH.
YOU'RE JUST A MUTANT MY MOTHER TAUGHT A FEW TRICKS.
LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS, NICHOLAS.
NEW SALEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAVEN --
A HOME FOR US TO STAY UNTIL THE WORLD WAS READY.
BUT YOU AND OTHERS HAVE BECOME TWISTED
AND FILLED WITH HATE.
[ INDISTINCT MURMURING ]
ENOUGH!
YOU'VE HEARD THE EVIDENCE.
WHAT IS YOUR VERDICT?
GUILTY!
LET THE VERDICT OF THE COURT BE CARRIED OUT.
FLAMES OF MAGIC BE SUMMONED FORTH.
CONSUME THOSE WHO HAVE BETRAYED NEW SALEM.
[ GRUNTS ]
CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING, AGATHA?
I'M TRYING.
NICHOLAS HAS SPENT HIS LIFE STUDYING MY MAGIC.
I AM HELPLESS AGAINST THIS NEW SPELL.
IF YOU HAD ONLY LOVED ME, MOTHER.
BUT YOU DIDN'T!
OH, NICHOLAS, YOU KNOW THAT ISN'T SO.
FLAME OF DARKNESS, FLAMES OF NIGHT,
BEACON OF VENGEANCE BURNING BRIGHT,
INCREASE THE POWER OF MY MIGHT.
I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, VISION,
BUT I AM SORRY FOR GETTING YOU INTO THIS.
YOU HAVE BEEN A TRUE FRIEND.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU FOR THAT.
[ GRUNTS ]
VISION, HOW DID YOU REVIVE?
I DO NOT KNOW.
I HEARD YOUR VOICE.
[ GROWLING ]
NO, EBONY.
MY SON, YOU HAVE CORRUPTED EVERYTHING
THAT NEW SALEM ONCE STOOD FOR.
I CANNOT LET YOU TWIST ALL THAT COULD BE USED FOR GOOD
TO SERVE ONLY HATRED.
PLEASE, MOTHER, DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS.
[ GROANS ]
AGATHA!
YOU CAN'T WIN, MOTHER.
I'VE PROTECTED MYSELF WITH A SPELL OF MY OWN.
NO ONE FROM NEW SALEM CAN DEFEAT ME.
SO BE IT.
THEN MY POWER SHALL BE USED BY ANOTHER.
[ GRUNTING ]
NO, MOTHER!
YOUR POWER SHOULD BE MINE TO USE!
WANDA, MY POWERS NOW LIE WITHIN YOU.
LOOK INTO YOUR HEART FOR THE WISDOM TO USE THEM.
WINDS OF DESTINY FROM ABOVE AND BELOW, CHANGE.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]
WE HAVE WON, AGATHA.
THEY ARE SEALED AWAY FOREVER.
NOT FOREVER, WANDA.
AGATHA!
I MUST REST AND HEAL IN MY OWN WAY.
UNTIL I RETURN, WANDA,
LEARN FROM WHAT I HAVE LEANT YOU.
BUT STAY FREE OF THE DARKNESS THAT DESTROYED MY SON.
I WILL.
BUT DO NOT GO, AGATHA.
PLEASE.
I HAVE NOT LEARNED ENOUGH.
I NEED YOU, AGATHA.
WONDER MAN NEEDS YOU.
BOTH YOU AND WONDER MAN MUST FULFILL YOUR OWN DESTINIES.
SEARCH WITHIN YOURSELF, WANDA.
YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FIND YOUR WAY.
I HAVE FAILED!
WITHOUT AGATHA, THERE IS NO HOPE FOR WONDER MAN.
WANDA, YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOUR POWERS.
AGATHA HARKNESS GAVE YOU A GREAT GIFT.
YOU MUST USE IT FOR WONDER MAN.
YES! YOU ARE RIGHT, VISION.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME SEE IT.
[ BEEPING ]
WANDA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Wanda: I AM DISCONNECTING WONDER MAN FROM THE MACHINES.
IT IS THE ONLY WAY.
NO!
THOSE MACHINES ARE THE ONLY THING KEEPING HIM ALIVE.
LET GO OF ME, CIRCUIT-BOY.
WE GOT TO STOP HER.
NO, HAWKEYE.
YOU MUST TRUST HER.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE GIFT I HAVE RECEIVED,
YET I SENSE, SIMON, THE TIME HAS ARRIVED FOR ME TO USE.
AGATHA, HELP ME HAVE SIMON AGAIN.
Agatha: WANDA.
WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!
[ GROANING ]
I HAVE FAILED.
[ WONDER MAN GASPS ]
[ GASPS ]
SIMON!
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK, WONDER MAN.
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
IT CERTAINLY IS.
HEY.
HEY, WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?
IT'S LIKE I WAS SLEEPING.
I- I DON'T REMEMBER A THING AFTER BEING BLASTED --
EVEN ANY DREAMS.
I WISH IT WAS I WHO COULD NOT REMEMBER.
I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU, SIMON.
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN TOUGH, WANDA.
THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR ME.
I SHOULD BE SO HAPPY,
YET NOW THAT I HAVE YOU BACK, SIMON,
I WORRY THAT I COULD LOSE YOU AGAIN.
HEY, FORGET ABOUT IT.
TROUBLE'S OVER.
NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN US NOW.
Grim Reaper: OH, WELL, ISN'T THAT PRETTY?
THEY TAKE MY BROTHER.
THEY TAKE MY MONEY!
IT'S TIME THE AVENGERS PAY THE PRICE.
