Original subtitles

- This place is spooky and grim,

now take me back to the gym!

[powers zapping] [gasping]

- *

- Oh, no...

how do I get back?

- What's taking so long?

- Curfew! La hora de la cama!

- But I'm still waiting for Ethan.

- And I'm still waiting for that train set

I was promised as a child.

Get to your dorm now.

- I know who I have to talk to.

- *

- AGAMEMNON: [sighing] Oh...

Cameron, have you seen my speech for tomorrow?

I seem to have misplaced it.

- Speech, sir? - Yes.

The "Good Luck in the Melee" speech

I asked you to write weeks ago.

- Oh, that speech.

I forgot. - What?

Cameron, what do you think the students will remember

about this year at the Academy?

- Magical lessons they'll use forever?

Oh, friendships forged in the fiery chaos of competition?

- No! My speech.

It's the most important one of the year.

- This isn't going to delay me getting my stripe, is it?

For my uniform.

I'm moving from Sergeant Major to Major Major.

- I highly doubt a Major Major

would forget a speech of such importance.

Now that'll be all, Sergeant.

- *

- Curfew...

Bedtime...

Wrap it up...

Hey, Ruby. - Hey, Cameron.

Wait. "Hey, Ruby"?

Where's all the pep?

- Can I ask you something?

And I want you to be honest with me.

Am I worthy of a Major Major ranking?

- I have no idea what that means.

- Agamemnon's not gonna give me the stripe I earned

because I forgot to write his speech for the Melee.

- [sighing] Agamemnon.

That glorified babysitter is the reason

I'm not in the Melee--doomed to the bottom of the board.

- It's not fair. I was so close.

I did everything right-- except for today.

I just wish he'd forget it ever happened.

What?

Is my cowlick sticking up again?

- No, you've always had great hair, Cameron.

- CAMERON: [laughs]

- So, Agamemnon wouldn't happen to have

a Memory Eraser Spell in his cabinet, would he?

- Of course. Why?

- * It must be magic

* It's happenin'

* Some crazy things

* I can't do this without you *

* Just keep your W.I.T.S. about you *

* It must be magic

* Look what we're doing here *

* There's something brewing here *

* It must be magic

* We got that spirit here

* We'll never disappear

* It must be

* It must be magic *

- I think I might know how to get you your star.

- Stripe. - Right.

What if we used the Memory Eraser Spell on Agamemnon?

- What? - Think about it.

The Rubinettes can participate in the Melee

and you can write Agamemnon's speech

and get your star. - Stripe.

- That's what I meant. - I don't know.

- Come on, you do everything for him--

speech writing, tech repair... - ...the menu planning...

nose hair maintenance.

- We're not talking about cheating on a test.

We're talking about a chance to accomplish our goals.

- Hmmm...all good points.

But...I...I don't know.

It feels wrong.

- He'll never know. That's the beauty of it.

Come on, he's gone for the day.

Let's go get it.

I've always seen the Major Major in you.

Let's go get you that stripe...

so everyone else can see it, too.

- Let's do it.

- [frustrated groan]

- [sighing]

[sighing]

Okay, it was one thing to go full psycho on me.

But do you really have to keep me awake, too?

- Look, I'm-- - Stressed?

I get it.

- Actually, I was gonna say I'm super sorry.

But, yeah, I'm very stressed.

- It's cool.

Friends argue sometimes.

Em and I threw down a bunch.

It happens, especially when you're close.

- You think we're close?

- Of course, roomie.

We're close enough for me to realize

that this Melee has you totally twisted.

Look at your WITs. They're exhausted.

- That's just weakness leaving their bodies.

- See? That's not the Kim I know.

I just think you should be yourself.

- Jessie, I need your help.

- Sorry, I thought there was another Jessie in here.

- It's Ethan.

We were practicing and I tele-transported him outside.

But now it's like I'm spent and I can't get him back.

- Why can't he just tele-transport himself back?

- 'Cause--

I have no idea.

That's what's worrying me.

It's dark and he could be in trouble.

- What do you want me to do?

Go talk to Agamemnon.

- Ruby got us into so much trouble,

I don't wanna press my luck with him.

Please?

I'll owe you one.

- Fine.

But you can't use Attack Spells against us during the Melee.

- But...

Deal.

- Good. Let's go.

- Um, you're going out?

In that?

- Come on.

- It feels so wrong. - I know.

It's awesome, right?

I thought the cabinet was locked with magic.

- Yeah, it is, but this combination will open it.

It feels so dirty. - You'll get used to it.

- No, his Rhino Head hasn't been dusted in weeks.

Note to self-- "Dust Rhino Head."

- *

- Got it!

"Memory Eraser Spell erases up to 12 hours."

- What's that small print on the side say?

- [powers zapping]

[gasping] There you are, Sir Mojo Funk!

Now I can finally rest. [gasping]

Cameron! Miss Webber!

What are you doing in my office?

- Hello, sir.

Uh, we were going to oil your egg chair,

but then I noticed that your Rhino--

- Miss Webber, what do you have behind your back?

- M--M--My hands.

- I can see that, but what's in them?

- M--My palms?

- Someone better start giving me answers

or you'll both be-- - [powers zapping]

Oh, that doesn't look right.

- JESSIE: Whoa, look at this place.

Are those the roots of the Dyad tree?

- Yeah, my magic doesn't work in here.

The roots keep eating it.

- EMILY: Quick, let's get him out.

- I can't break it, but I might be able to weaken it.

We need to make this barrier weak,

so safely out Ethan can sneak!

[powers zapping]

- Whoa, I want to do that again.

- "Common side effects may include...

"twitching, excessive thirst, bad dreams,

"and in rare cases,

"when combined with French toast consumption,

transformation into granite."

- I served him French toast this morning.

Oh...

This is the worst thing I've ever done.

- You're young.

You can still outdo yourself.

- This is no time for jokes, Ruby.

How long will he be like this?

[snapping fingers]

- This says he can change back at any moment.

- Okay, so we just...

we sit here and we wait for him to change back.

- No can do.

We have to run the school

so no one gets suspicious when they don't see him.

- Are you serious?

You wanna fake being the headmaster.

- No.

I want you to be the headmaster.

It's simple.

We cancel all face-to-face appointments.

- But he makes all those announcements.

- What if we said the monitors are down.

Then all we have to do is fake his voice.

- Really?

- Do we have any other choice...

Headmaster Cameron?

- [powers zapping] - Guys, I got it.

I found the perfect,

sure-fire, guaranteed way to win the Melee.

- Turn everyone into chicken nuggets?

And then eat them? - No.

It's an Invisibility Spell.

Just think--no one will see us coming.

And by the time they finally figure out what's up,

zap, it'll be too late.

- That was my next guess.

- Oh! Morning, Berserkers!

Okay, let's, uh, pick up where we left off.

Uh...a hundred squats each.

- We need to talk about

this crazytown training schedule you have us on.

- I mean, it's intense, but--

- No, thumb wars are intense.

Staring contests are intense.

This is just uncool.

We all wanna win, but it's too much.

- Do you feel the same way?

- Yes.

- I am so sorry, you guys.

I never meant to scare you.

I just really wanted to win.

- We need inspiration for an Ultimate Attack Spell.

- Ultimate Attack Spell?

- MAN NARRATING: Master Tim filmed over

400 karate features during his lengthy career.

- No way! Master Tim?

This dude's a karate legend.

- NARRATOR: He pioneered the famous

karate chop technique,

which immediately immobilized opponents.

- Guys, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- That's gonna hurt in the morning.

- What if we create a Karate Chop Spell?

Picture it--

a bunch of hands chopping everyone at the same time.

- Wow, Andi, that is so...genius!

- [palm slaps]

- What is that?

Oh, no...

look at all this rot.

- Where are you going?

- I've gotta tell Aggie about this.

This tree is super sick.

- Ruby?

- Good morning. How can I help you?

- What are you doing here?

- This is my punishment for trying to get you expelled.

I get to be secretary for the day.

- Is he in now? I need to talk to him.

- You know... he is jammed all day.

I mean really tied up.

Could you come back, say, never?

- No, never doesn't work for me.

I need to see him now. - Mmmmmmmm!

This is one of the busiest days of the year.

He's got meetings all morning, speech practice,

then a haircut.

You know, let me buzz him

and see if he can squeeze you in.

Excuse me, Headmaster, it's Ruby.

- CAMERON: [clearing throat]

[imitating Agamemnon] What is it, Miss Webber?

I'm very busy today with all the things I have to do today.

- I understand, sir, but Andi's here

and she really needs to talk to you.

- Miss Cruz? Absolutely not.

[clearing throat]

- Sorry. I tried.

- Is Aggie sick?

His voice sounded a little weird.

- That's the intercom.

Cameron was supposed to fix it, but he forgot.

Have a nice day.

- *

- [regular voice] Did it work? Did I sound like him?

- There's always room for improvement.

- I worked on it all night.

I even listened to "Aggie Sleep Sounds" on repeat.

Did he just move?

- *

- You need to keep practicing so people don't get suspicious.

Here are Aggie's appointments for today.

- Come on, guys, let's give it one more shot.

- Can we take a break?

That last magic chop got me pretty good

and I bruise very easily.

- Ben's right.

We should focus on karate basics

before jumping into magic karate chopping hands.

- What do you mean "basics?"

- Jessie, give me two cinderblocks

and a couple of planks of thin wood.

- We're lame at karate, but we need to be good.

Give us cinderblocks and some pieces of wood!

[powers zapping]

- Assume the Master Tim position...

knees slightly bent...

I'm imagining my hand going through the wood,

my thumb is next to my pointer finger,

I'm lifting up and...

hi-yaaaah!

You can't tell me my Master Tim

24-hour movie marathons were time wasted.

- That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

- Let me try!

I'm imagining my hand going through the wood,

my thumb is next to my pointer finger,

and I'm lifting up and...

hi-yaaaah!

- Are you okay, Ben?

- [high-pitched] Mommy!

- All right, Berserkers, I think she's ready.

- What is it?

- It's an Opposition Proximity Detector.

It helps detect if someone's trying to sneak up on us.

- Ready?

- GRACIE & SEAN: Make us invisible

so we can sneak into the gym and take a peek!

[powers zapping]

- Wait, I thought I had it.

Hold on. There's no one here.

It doesn't make any sense. It should...it should work.

- [detector clicking]

- Rubinettes?

- We want to talk to Agamemnon.

- And stop calling us that.

- Well, unfortunately, he's busy.

May I ask what this is regarding?

- We want a new Guardian next year.

- Okay, let me take that down and--

Wait. What?

- I've played your little game, Ruby.

I accept responsibility for what I've done.

But you sabotaged our chances to win.

- Yeah, all you care about is yourself.

- That's not true.

Okay, it's a little true.

But, guys, I will get us back into that Melee, I promise.

- She's lying again.

She doesn't want us to talk to Agamemnon.

- I'll make you a deal.

I'll get us back into the Melee

and you keep me as your Guardian.

- What do you say, Em?

- You have till the end of the day.

- *

- [sighing]

- Ready for your speech?

- No problem.

Don't worry, sir. I'll do you proud.

[sighing]

[flicks switch]

[flicking on and off] Problem.

The scarf must have overheated it.

We have to cancel the speech. - You can't!

- Faking his voice is one thing,

but dressing up like him?

Where are you going?

I need you!

[sighing]

Now's not really the time for a cup of tea.

But if we're having one, can I have a cup of chamomile?

- No!

- Fine. Green tea works, I guess.

- It's time I told you the truth.

- You have feelings for me, too?

- What? - Nothing. Continue.

- This is magic sap from the Dyad tree.

It gives you temporary powers--

even to people like me who never had them.

This is the closest I've ever gotten

to being who I wanna be.

- Ruby, I think you're awesome just the way you are.

- Thanks.

But enough of the chit-chat.

We need to use this to turn you into Agamemnon.

- *

- Mimic the one who rules the school,

and all the students you will fool!

[powers zapping]

- [Cameron's voice] How do I look?

- Commanding. Wise. Advanced...in years.

- [Cameron's voice] And no cowlick?

- None. - Ah!

- [paper airplanes fluttering]

- [mixed conversations]

- Due to technical difficulties,

Headmaster Agamemnon will address you all in person.

- Ah...Uh... [clearing throat]

[imitating Agamemnon] Tomorrow is a day

you'll remember for the rest of your lives.

[voice quivering]

It's the first time you'll utilize what you've learned,

what you've studied, what you've become...

[voice quivering]

and apply it in the most difficult

of physical circumstances.

You are special...

each and every one of you.

What we teach, what we strive to impart

upon the witches and wizards of tomorrow

is a strong sense of self and responsibility.

I wish to thank you in advance for giving your best tomorrow.

Good luck! [laughing]

- STUDENTS: [applauding]

- Aggie! Aggie, I need to talk to you!

- You did it!

- [normal voice] That was amazing!

Exhilarating! Powerful! [laughing]

- RUBY: Uh...

It's been a very long day for you and me,

so change Cameron back so we can be free!

[powers zapping]

- Cameron?

Miss Webber?

Sir Mojo?

What are you doing in my office?

- We came to personally congratulate you

on your excellent speech, sir.

- Oh...why, thank you.

It was a fine speech, wasn't it?

- One of your finest.

- Sir, I have something to tell you.

- Cameron, the Headmaster is very tired.

Let's give him some space.

- I accidentally erased your memory today.

- You what?

- I was cleaning the spell canisters

when the 12-hour Memory Eraser was partially open.

It fell on you.

But it was a good one.

- Hm... Indeed, it was.

Thank you for being honest.

- You're welcome, sir.

But I think we should hold off on my stripe for now.

I want to really earn it...

and I haven't yet.

- You're an impressive young man, Cameron.

You'll be a Major Major soon enough.

- Thank you, sir.

- Miss Webber, you'd better see to your WITs.

The Melee is tomorrow. Get some rest.

- Thank you, sir.

Hey...

thank you, too.

- [whispering] Why don't I keep this safe for you?

- *

- [knocking urgently]

- Cameron, I really need to talk to--

- It's past curfew.

You think you can roam around the school

all willy-nilly and get away with it?

Not on my watch.

- I just knocked on your door.

- I'm sleepy. What do you want?

- I tried to bring this up to Agamemnon all day,

but he seemed a little-- - Preoccupied?

Well, the WITS Academy Headmaster

doesn't have time for student trivialities,

and neither do I.

Now good night. - It's about the Dyad tree.

It looks like it's getting sick again.

- And you're just bringing this up now?

- Seriously? I've been trying to say it all day,

but no one would--

listen to me.

Is that...

Ruby's?

- *

Tree sap?

From the Dyad tree?

This is it!

This must be how Ruby gets her powers!

- *

- Not if I can help it.

- *
