[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]
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!
GUILTY!
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.
