Description

In the locker room, Regina, Maya, Zoey, Laversha and Apophis wait outside.

As Cassandra arrives, Zoey, Maya, Laversha and Apophis hide behind.

Cassandra:

Regina, nice of you to come. Nice outfit. What can I do you for?

Regina:

[chuckles] I’m not falling for this cutie pie act of yours.

Cassandra:

What do you mean?

Regina:

You know perfectly well what I mean. You’re not some innocent girl. I’m onto you and Davian. You think I don't know what you two are planning? Well, you're wrong. I know you're up to no good. (shows Cassandra the picture on her phone) All this voodoo stuff you did to me like that fizzy laughing potion of yours, I’m gonna tell everyone that you’re some kind of a witch.

Cassandra:

I am? That's ridiculous.

Regina:

Yes, you are. And I'm not the only one who knows. There are plenty of others who have seen what you're capable of. You may have fooled everyone else with your cute act, but you can't fool me. I'm going to make sure that everyone knows the truth about you. And what about Davian? He's just a nerdy trillionaire with dinosaurs. He doesn't have what it takes to win this game on his own. You're the one pulling the strings, aren't you? Using your witchcraft to control the situation?

Cassandra:

Well, you have quite the imagination, Regina. I assure you, there's nothing of the sort going on. I'm just here to have fun and enjoy the party, just like everyone else. And as for Davian, he's my boyfriend. We love each other very much and we're both playing fair. I'm not sure why you're so determined to believe these ridiculous accusations, but I can assure you they're not true.

Regina:

Ha! That's a good one. You think I'm stupid enough to believe that? I know what I saw and I know what I felt. I'm not the only one, you know. There are others who have had run-ins with you and your "magic." And they're not going to let you get away with it. So you can try to deny it all you want, but the truth will come out eventually. And when it does, everyone is going to know what kind of a person you really are.

Cassandra:

I'd like to see you try it, Regina. I've seen through you. The time you seduced Sir Bulleezalot into believing that Maximis is a child abuser at that night club.

Regina:

What? You... You dirty little witch! You saw me? Why, you... I'm going to get you for this!

Cassandra thrusts her hand forward. Regina flies backward off her feet onto the floor. She gets to her feet.

Regina:

You really are a witch! I... I can't believe it! You tricked me. You tricked all of us. But I won't let you get away with it. I'm going to tell everyone the truth. I'm going to expose you.

Bolts of lightning shoots from Regina’s hands at Cassandra.

Cassandra forms a blue barrier with her hand, deflecting the lightning bolts.

Regina:

I believe it is time for you to leave this school. You are no longer welcome here. You're a disgrace to the entire student body.

Red auras glow from Regina’s hands.

Blue auras glow from Cassandra’s hands.

Regina fires lightning from her finger tips. Cassandra blocks it with her palms. As she turns her strain gaze on Regina, the bully’s hateful grin moves to gaping anguish. The energy build up sends them both flying.

Regina flies backwards through the doors into the gym.

The impact of her body against the doors knocks several people over, including Samantha, who is hit hard and lands on the floor. Regina gets to her feet.

Cassandra stands up, a little unsteady from the force of the impact, but unharmed.

[everyone gasps]

The students and staff turn their attention.

Maya, Zoey, Laversha and Apophis enter.

Regina:

Listen up, everyone! This girl here, she's a witch! She tried to frame me and she's been manipulating all of you! You've all seen it, right? How she was always so perfect and nice? That was all an act! And she's been using her powers to control you all! Well, I'm not gonna let her get away with it anymore!

Cassandra:

The only manipulator around here is you, Regina. You're the one who's been spreading lies with your mom about Maximis.

Regina:

Prepare to meet your maker, witch! You think you can just walk away from this unscathed? I'll make sure that everyone knows what you're capable of. You'll be sorry you ever stepped foot into this school. Apep, my second wish! I wish to be muscular!

Apophis:

Granted!

Apophis uses his magic to make Regina muscular.

Regina:

[wicked laughing]

The students and staff gasp in shock as Regina's body suddenly becomes more defined and powerful. She flexes her muscles, revealing toned arms and abs. Her eyes gleam with newfound confidence.

Regina:

Oh, but I can, and I will! And you're going to regret ever crossing me! You think you can protect yourself with your little magic tricks? Well, I've got news for you, witch! I'm not afraid of you or your powers.

Braxton:

Regina, you were suspended. You broke all the rules! You shouldn't be here!

Regina:

Ah, but there’s a new rule now. MY rules. And my first rule is that there are no parents and principles ALLOWED! I'll do whatever I want, and no one can stop me! Now, where was I? Ah, yes. Cassandra, you'll be sorry for what you did. You'll see. I'm going to make your life a living hell!

Regina snaps her fingers.

Sir Bulleezalot and his black knights appear from behind the curtain.

Sir Bulleezalot:

Greetings, fair lady Regina. We are here to aid you in your quest to rid this school of the witch Cassandra. Our numbers are few, but our loyalty is strong. We swear to obey your every command, and to help you uncover the truth about this girl. Together, we shall bring justice to this place.

The principal and vice principal are frozen in fear.

Cassandra:

You can't just summon people to do your bidding, Regina! You can't just make everyone follow your twisted rules!

Regina:

Oh, but I can, and I will! Because now, I have the power of Apep on my side. I have the power to make people obey me and the power to protect myself from your witchcraft. And don't you dare try to use your magic on me, because I'm not afraid of it. In fact, I welcome the chance to prove that I'm stronger than you. Now, does anyone have anything to say before I make the new rules?

Clara:

I do!

Regina:

What do you have to say for yourself?

Clara:

[screaming] Maximis got me pregnant! [points to Maximis] Your stupid ex-father got me pregnant! It’s his child, you stupid bully!

The students and staff gasp in shock at Clara's revelation.

Regina:

What? No way! You're lying! You're just trying to get back at me!

Clara:

You want to know how Maximis got me pregnant? He wanted a child better than you, you freak of nature! He released his sperms into my swimming pool when he pictured me naked! I went in the pool to swim in it, not knowin' what he's done, and... and it happened. And it was his child! And now, I'm having his baby, you lying golddigging hooker!

The principal and vice principal are frozen in fear. They can't believe what they're hearing. The truth about Maximis and Clara's baby is finally revealed, and it's not what anyone expected. At first, Regina wasn't sure if she was making a joke or not, but when she realized she wasn't joking, she went berserk.

Regina:

(screaming) You lying piece of trash! You're the father? You stupid, lying bastard! You're having a baby when you already have me? You're going to ruin everything I've worked so hard for! I'm going to make sure you both pay for this! I swear it! I'm going to destroy you both!

Enraged, Laversha storms up the stage and shoves Clara. She then kicks Maximis.

Laversha:

You got this woman pregnant, you pig! I divorced you, you dirty piece of trash! And now you want to have a baby with this woman? You're disgusting! I hope you rot in hell!

Maximis gets to his feet. His eyebrows lower in determination and he grits his teeth.

Maximis:

Hell, schnell! I don’t need no stinking gold diggers taking people’s money away in divorce settlements! You know why? [puts on a pig nose and ears] Because I am a dirty pig, the pig of all pigs!

Maximis presses a button on his speakers.

Everyone hears pig sounds on speakers.

The students laugh at Maximus's joke. The principal and vice principal look on, dumbfounded. Laversha, however, is not amused. She glares at him.

Regina:

You think that's funny? You think it's funny that you got this woman pregnant? How are you going to take care of her now? Huh? You're just a worthless piece of trash! And don't you dare try to act like you care about her! You don't care about anyone but yourself! You're pathetic!

Maximis:

Check it! Laversha and Regina, you two have gone and worked my last nerve! I have no other choice. You both are so rotten, so despicable, so mean, I am filing you, and your friends Maya and Zoey on the permanent restraining order list. You are banned from my house, from my life, from ever seeing my unborn child, even!

The crowd gasped as they witnessed Maximis revealing a stack of papers in his hand, a permanent restraining order against Laversha, Regina, Maya and Zoey. Laversha's face turned pale, at first shocked, then enraged.

Laversha:

Well, restrain this!

Laversha punches Maximis, sending him flying into musical instruments.

The crowd gasps as the musical instruments surrounding Maximis clatter to the floor. He struggles to stand, clutching his stomach in pain.

Laversha:

You'll pay for that, you piece of trash!

Clara:

Laversha, what has gotten into you and why are you doing this?!

Laversha:

Because I can't let him get away with this! He's been hurting me for years, and now you will pay the price for it too, you stupid, worthless...

Maximis stands up, wiping blood from his mouth. He looks at Laversha with a mixture of anger.

Maximis:

You fiendish devil woman! I got Clara pregnant because I love her and I want a family with her. Unlike you, Laversha, who only cares about money and power, I actually care about the person I'm with. And as for you, Clara, I love you and I want to be there for you and our child.

Clara looks at Maximis, torn between her feelings for him and her anger at Laversha. Tears well up in her eyes as she listens to his words. Laversha, on the other hand, grows more enraged with each word.

Laversha:

You selfish pig! You think that just because you knocked her up, she's going to stay with you? She doesn't need you, and neither does your brat!

Maximis:

Oh, yes she does! Call me a pig all you want to, but I know I can be a better father to her child than yours, Laversha!

Regina:

You're pathetic, Maximis. You're just as bad as she is! You both just want to use us for your own selfish purposes! Well, guess what? I'm not going to let you do that! I'm going to make sure you both pay for what you've done! (turns to Apophis) Apep, I make my third and final wish! Me, Zoey and Maya wish to be all powerful witches of the universe!

Apophis:

Your wish has been granted, my goddaughter.

Apophis uses his magic.

A blinding light fills the room, and when it fades, Regina, Maya, and Zoey are revealed to be wearing flowing, crimson robes adorned with silver embroidery. Their faces glow with an otherworldly radiance, and their eyes shimmer with power. The air around them crackles with energy as they raise their arms, with arcs of electricity dancing between their fingers.

Regina:

Yes. YES!!! [wicked laughing] (to Davian) You see, nerdy dinosaur boy? I am the world’s most powerful person! You couldn’t learn anything from The Princess and the Knight. You're a pathetic fool and a legitimate piece of trash!

Davian:

[picks up a cake] Here’s one thing I learned from the movie!

Davian throws an orange Halloween cake at Regina’s face.

The crowd gasps as the orange Halloween cake hits Regina's face. Her expression of shock turns to one of anger. She wipes the cake from her cheek and glares at Davian.

Regina:

Oh, you stupid little...! (spits frosting onto the floor) You'll regret that, nerd boy!

Regina levitates a Frankenstein cake then flings it.

Davian ducks, leaving the cake to pelt Amina’s face.

The crowd gasps as the cake strikes Amina, sending her reeling backwards.

Sophie:

Oh, Amina.

Amina:

Yes?

Sophie smothers a cream pie on Amina’s face.

Maya taps her shoulder then slaps a cherry pie on Sophie’s face.

Sophie:

Oh, yeah?

Sophie slaps a black frosted cake at Maya’s face then slaps another one behind her head.

Sophie ducks, leaving Maya to hit Lionel with a pumpkin cake.

Braxton:

Oh, what in the name of god is going on here?

The principle dodges a pizza thrown by Zoey. It hits Jade.

Braxton gets hit in the head by ghost cake.

Braxton:

Okay, I did not see that coming.

Braxton gets hit in the head by another ghost cake.

Zaiden:

[yelling] FOOD FIGHT!!!

The students threw food and pastries at each other with abandon, their laughter and shrieks of delight filling the air. The food fight spread quickly, engulfing the entire gym as students from all corners of the school joined in on the chaos. Cakes, pies, and cookies flew through the air like missiles, splattering against the walls and ceiling.

The gymnasium descended into chaos as the food fight escalated, with cakes, pies, and other pastries flying through the air in a colorful blur.

Covering his face, Apophis slowly makes his way to the entrance then disappears in a cloud of red smoke.

One student recorded the food fight with his iPhone.

Flying pastries struck students in the face and splattered on the walls, coating everything in a layer of sugary goo. Even Apophis, as he slipped away unnoticed, couldn't resist the urge to grab a piece of cake on his way out.

A whipped cream pie hits Sir Bulleezalot's helmet.

Sir Bulleezalot:

Oh, very funny. Very funny indeed. You know, I'm a black armored knight with a broadsword and a shield. I could easily defend myself from your pathetic attempts at humiliation--

Another pie hits Sir Bulleezalot's helmet, this time sending a stream of whipped cream down his armor. He blocks another oncoming pie with his shield, instantly defending himself. An orange frosting cake hits his helmet off his head, sending it flying onto the floor.

As the fight raged on, alliances formed and broke apart as quickly as the flying pastries.

Davian throws sauce-covered spaghetti noodles at Regina.

Regina:

That was an expensive dress. You'll pay for that, nerd boy!

Davian:

With what, $200?

Regina:

With this!

Regina levitates a yellow frosting cake then tosses it at Davian. The pie hits Davian squarely in the chest, splattering sticky yellow filling across his torso.

Cindy, Farima, Sophie and Agatha threw pies at Laversha.

Laversha:

Oh, my dress! I’ll get you four for that!

With that, Laversha snatches a handful of chocolate chips from a scattered cookie and hurls them at Cindy, Farima, Sophie, and Agatha. The four girls duck and squeal, scattering in different directions as they dodge the missiles of chocolate.

Celeste throws a pie at Pete.

Celeste:

[giggles]

Pete slaps a whipped cream pie on Celeste’s face.

Celeste:

Oh, you naughty boy.

Pete:

Oh yeah, baby. Take it like a champ.

Pete and Celeste kiss passionately while the students continue to throw pies at each other.

The food fight rages on as students continue to throw pastries at each other. The air is thick with the smell of chocolate, whipped cream, and sugary dough. A pumpkin pie sails through the air, narrowly missing the principal, who is now frantically trying to avoid being hit.

Cassandra throws several pies at Regina, who swats them away with karate chop skills.

Regina:

I was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do before I even came to this school. You should've known better than to mess with me, Cassandra Magladena! Girls.

Maya:

With pleasure.

Maya throws cookies at Cassandra, who ducks as the cookies hit the principal instead.

Maximis gets rapidly hit in the face by pies.

Maximis:

Oh, now you've done it.

He wipes the last of the whipped cream from his face.

Clara:

(seducing Maximis) Oh, Maximis.

Clara seductively puts whipped cream on her lips and leans in towards Maximis.

Clara:

(seducing Maximis) Come and kiss your pregnant teacher girlfriend, you naughty boy.

Maximis:

(blushes) Oh, I am naughty for making you pregnant, aren't I? I suppose I deserve this... (he leans in to kiss her, the whipped cream smeared across his lips mixing with the remnants of the pie) Mmm, you're not so bad yourself, honey.

Clara giggles.

Cassandra jumps onto the table, launching pies at Regina.

Regina:

WHY YOU?!!

Regina throws a pie with her magic at Cassandra, who ducks.

The pie hits Samantha, who eats the frosting.

Samantha:

Mmm... That was good!

The walls and the floor are mess as the students continue the food fight.

Augusto throws a chocolate cake, dripping it onto the fried chicken. The chocolate cake hits Regina's face.

Regina:

Oh, you didn't.

Regina levitates the cake plate, throwing it at Augusto with incredible force. The plate hits him square in the chest, sending the chocolate cake flying everywhere. He coughs and sputters, trying to catch his breath. Augusto picks up a ghost cake.

The cake hits Laversha’s dress.

Laversha:

Oh, you wish you could be me!

With that, Laversha grabs a handful of gummy bears from a nearby table and chucks them at Augusto, hitting him square in the back. The gummy bears stick to his shirt, making a sticky mess. He turns around, revealing a surprised expression on his face.

Augusto:

Why you!

He gets hit by a cream pie splattering onto his chest.

Davian:

Hasta la vista, Laversha.

Davian sprays whipped cream into his mouth and spits it on Laversha’s face.

Laversha:

Oh, you're going down, dino boy!

Davian:

Oh, really? Let's see what you've got.

Davian picks up a red towel and uses it as a muleta.

Davian:

OK toro! Toro! Toro! Toro! Olè!

Regina charges at Davian, who dodges, sending her flying onto the table, which launches a fruit punch bowl into the air.

The fruit punch splashes onto Principal Braxton, dyeing his suit a vibrant shade of pink. He coughs and sputters, He blows his whistle.

Everyone stops the food fight to look at the principal. He sees Regina, Maya and Zoey about to throw the pies at Cassandra.

Braxton:

What the hell is wrong with you three? You should be ashamed of yourselves! You got chocolate on the fried chicken, fruit punch on the table, and whipped cream everywhere! This is the most disgusting mess I've ever seen in my life! I only hope I have enough money to pay for my bills and food. I don't have any money left for this mess!

Regina:

Uh uh. No admonishing me now, Braxton. I'm the principal, remember? I'll decide what's right and what's wrong around here.

Braxton:

This is the last straw. I suspended you for calling Davian a "snowflake". Before that, you had a clean record. Now you're going to have to face the consequences. You are hereby sus--

On the stage, Alem grabs a microphone.

Alem:

[speaking into it] Hey, stop everything.

Braxton:

Hey! Who are you?

Alem:

I’m Alem and this is an emergency. Only for a minute. [speaks into the microphone] Will everyone listen up, please?

The students turn their attention to Alem.

Alem:

The city is in danger.

Everyone:

What? [murmuring]

Female Student:

What do you mean “in danger”?

Alem:

Thousands of years ago, Apophis tried to take over Egypt. He wanted to destroy the universe and rule over everything. And now he's released from the puzzle box.

A murmur runs through the crowd.

Braxton:

You must be joking.

Alem:

Hey, I'm serious. This is not a joke.

Lionel:

Mr. Murfe, listen to him.

Alem:

I know this sounds crazy, but he’s here tonight and he’s rampaging the whole city. He’s right over there.

He points to the far corner of the gym where Apophis is standing, dressed in his black and red hooded cloak.

Apophis:

Ah, Alem. After thousands of years of eternal darkness in that puzzle box, we meet again.

Alem:

You can't win this time, Apophis.

Apophis:

Oh, but I will, with the help of my goddaughter, Regina, her mother Laversha, and her friends Zoey and Maya.

Regina steps forward, grinning evilly.

Alem:

Your goddaughter? I don't understand. How can she be your goddaughter if you're a god of destruction thousands of years ago? And what about her friends? They don't seem to be part of this.

Regina:

Oh, Alem. You're so sweet, but you're so naive. You see, he has been watching me and my friends while he was trapped in that puzzle box. He saw that my ex-father, Maximis, spanked me and slapped my mother Laversha, and he decided that we would be the perfect pawns to help him make the three wishes come true.The first wish would be to turn Maximis' house into a luxurious mansion, the second would be for me to become muscular and the third one was for me, my mother Laversha, and my two friends Maya and Zoey to become the world's most powerful witches, The Witches of Chapina. Once we became witches, we would use our powers to help him take over the world. Of course, I didn't tell Maximis, Principle Murfe or anyone about Apophis being my godfather. I knew Principle Murfe would suspend me for calling that nerdy dinosaur boy, Davian Niklaus, a "snowflake", then he would spank me with a coal shovel for being disrespectful. And then he would slap mother during their argument about my bad behavior. That's why he is my godfather.

Maximis:

Is that what this is all about, Sir Bulleezalot accusing me of child abuse and all this voodoo stuff?

Apophis:

Indeed, Maximis. You have been abusive to your daughter and her mother. It is time for you to pay the price.

Maximis:

You're the villain here, Apophis! You're the one who's been plotting with my ex-daughter and her friends to take over the world!

Regina:

You're just jealous, Maximis. You never liked me.

Maximis:

As much as any other father ever loved a daughter.

Sir Bulleezalot:

Oh, is that right? So, you're saying that you disciplined Regina because she got suspended from school for calling Davian Niklaus a "snowflake".

Maximis:

Yes. Her mother manipulated you all into thinking I hit Regina and Laversha. She was the one who wanted to get back at me for leaving her.

Maximis:

Yes. Her mother manipulated you all into thinking I hit Regina and Laversha. She was the one who wanted to get back at me for leaving her.

Sir Bulleezalot:

So, what you're saying is that Laversha manipulated me into thinking you hit her and Regina?

Maximis:

Yes, it's true. Laversha manipulated you, but that's not the point. The point is that I'm a good father who was just trying to raise his daughter the right way. And now, because of Apophis' interference, everything is turned upside down.

Sir Bulleezalot walks up the stairs on stage and stalks toward Laversha.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You skunk.

Laversha:

Now, now, now. There's no need for that.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You lowdown, no-good, manipulative scoundrel!

Laversha:

No, no, please calm down.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You unscrupoulous gold digger!

Laversha:

Oh, now wait just a minute. I never said that was the reason. I just wanted to get rid of Maximis because he was abusive and terrible to both me and Regina. You're making it sound like I did it for some selfish reason.

Sir Bulleezalot grabs her by the shoulders, his eyes wide with anger and disbelief.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You conniving harlot! How dare you accuse Maximis of such things! He was only disciplining. You need to know the difference between discipline and abuse!

Laversha:

Get your armored hands off me!

Sir Bulleezalot tosses Laversha.

Davian kicks Laversha.

Laversha:

Why you little brat!

Davian:

You set the fire that killed my maternal grandparents.

[the students gasps]

Laversha:

So?

Davian:

So, you did it.

The crowd gasped. Laversha's face paled. Maximis looked shocked. Regina was silent.

Laversha:

Hey, hey, now come on. Just because I set a fire and killed your grandparents doesn't mean I deserve this.

Davian:

My mom trusted you and you lied! Why’d you do it? So you could build a hockey stadium for Zon Billancourt?

[the students gasps again]

The crowd gasped again, some showing shock and others disbelief. Laversha's face twisted into a mask of anger and betrayal.

Laversha:

Davian, you’re having trouble separating fact from fiction.

Davian:

What I am saying is true.

Laversha:

Okay, I think you’ve made your point. Just stand down and let’s talk about this outside.

Davian:

I’ll stand down as soon as the cops get here, which will be any second now.

Laversha:

You’re lying.

Davian:

No!

Davian knocks Laversha.

Laversha:

Why you little snowflake!

Davian:

How dare you talk to me like that? It’s humiliating. You treated Maximis like a slave.

The crowd murmured, with some showing sympathy for Maximis.

Laversha:

If he hadn’t spanked Regina and slapped me in the first place, I wouldn’t have kicked him out of my house.

Davian:

Then why did you do it?

Regina:

She was just trying to protect me, Davian. She didn't want me to get hurt. You know how much I hated Maximis for abusing me.

Davian:

That wasn’t your house to begin with. It was his. Plus, your daughter broke his $900 ship in a bottle.

The crowd murmured again, with some clearly siding with Maximis.

Laversha:

Now let’s take it outside and pretend this never happened.

Davian:

You don’t care about Maximis. You never did cared about him. You forced him to marry you so you can steal his own money.

The crowd's reactions were mixed, with some siding with Davian and others looking unconvinced.

Laversha:

What?

Regina:

Davian!

Davian:

That’s all you care about. You don’t love Maximis. You used him. He didn’t love your daughter. In this city, all you’re interested is how much you can steal from the men you’ve married!

The crowd murmured, clearly unsettled by Davian's accusations. Laversha's face turned red with anger. She turns to Regina.

Laversha:

You’ve got a gun! Why don’t you do something?

Regina:

Like what, genius?

Laversha:

Shoot him!

Regina:

I can’t shoot a man.

Laversha:

[snatching the gun from Regina’s holster] Give it to me, useless!

The crowd flees in a panic, some screaming, others simply trying to get out of the way. Laversha lunges at Davian, but he's too fast; he ducks out of the way, rolling across the floor. He lands on his feet and spins around, narrowly avoiding a swing from Laversha's arm.

Davian, Cassandra, Maximis and Clara run for their lives, while Laversha continues to chase them.

Laversha aims the gun and fires.

The chase continues as Davian, Cassandra, Maximis and Clara dart through the school halls, their hearts pounding and lungs burning.

Laversha:

After them! (to Regina, Zoey and Maya) After them!

Regina and the others nod, running after the group. Laversha's anger fuels her as she pursues them. The hallways are filled with students panic-stricken, running and screaming in all directions.

Alem:

You won't win this time, Apophis.

Apophis:

Oh, but I will. I've waited thousands of years to get my revenge on you.

As Alem charges, Apophis shoots lightning from his hand and tosses him aside.

Apophis:

You have no idea what you're dealing with, Alem!

As Alem rushes at him again, Apophis uses his otherworldly powers to freeze the ground beneath the young man's feet. Alem slips and slides helplessly, falling to the ground hard.

Apophis:

You're weak, Alem, just like the others. You don't deserve to wield the power of the gods.

Alem and Apophis disappear in smoke.

Description

In the locker room, Regina, Maya, Zoey, Laversha and Apophis wait outside.

As Cassandra arrives, Zoey, Maya, Laversha and Apophis hide behind.

Cassandra:

Regina, nice of you to come. Nice outfit. What can I do you for?

Regina:

[chuckles] I’m not falling for this cutie pie act of yours.

Cassandra:

What do you mean?

Regina:

You know perfectly well what I mean. You’re not some innocent girl. I’m onto you and Davian. You think I don't know what you two are planning? Well, you're wrong. I know you're up to no good. (shows Cassandra the picture on her phone) All this voodoo stuff you did to me like that fizzy laughing potion of yours, I’m gonna tell everyone that you’re some kind of a witch.

Cassandra:

I am? That's ridiculous.

Regina:

Yes, you are. And I'm not the only one who knows. There are plenty of others who have seen what you're capable of. You may have fooled everyone else with your cute act, but you can't fool me. I'm going to make sure that everyone knows the truth about you. And what about Davian? He's just a nerdy trillionaire with dinosaurs. He doesn't have what it takes to win this game on his own. You're the one pulling the strings, aren't you? Using your witchcraft to control the situation?

Cassandra:

Well, you have quite the imagination, Regina. I assure you, there's nothing of the sort going on. I'm just here to have fun and enjoy the party, just like everyone else. And as for Davian, he's my boyfriend. We love each other very much and we're both playing fair. I'm not sure why you're so determined to believe these ridiculous accusations, but I can assure you they're not true.

Regina:

Ha! That's a good one. You think I'm stupid enough to believe that? I know what I saw and I know what I felt. I'm not the only one, you know. There are others who have had run-ins with you and your "magic." And they're not going to let you get away with it. So you can try to deny it all you want, but the truth will come out eventually. And when it does, everyone is going to know what kind of a person you really are.

Cassandra:

I'd like to see you try it, Regina. I've seen through you. The time you seduced Sir Bulleezalot into believing that Maximis is a child abuser at that night club.

Regina:

What? You... You dirty little witch! You saw me? Why, you... I'm going to get you for this!

Cassandra thrusts her hand forward. Regina flies backward off her feet onto the floor. She gets to her feet.

Regina:

You really are a witch! I... I can't believe it! You tricked me. You tricked all of us. But I won't let you get away with it. I'm going to tell everyone the truth. I'm going to expose you.

Bolts of lightning shoots from Regina’s hands at Cassandra.

Cassandra forms a blue barrier with her hand, deflecting the lightning bolts.

Regina:

I believe it is time for you to leave this school. You are no longer welcome here. You're a disgrace to the entire student body.

Red auras glow from Regina’s hands.

Blue auras glow from Cassandra’s hands.

Regina fires lightning from her finger tips. Cassandra blocks it with her palms. As she turns her strain gaze on Regina, the bully’s hateful grin moves to gaping anguish. The energy build up sends them both flying.

Regina flies backwards through the doors into the gym.

The impact of her body against the doors knocks several people over, including Samantha, who is hit hard and lands on the floor. Regina gets to her feet.

Cassandra stands up, a little unsteady from the force of the impact, but unharmed.

[everyone gasps]

The students and staff turn their attention.

Maya, Zoey, Laversha and Apophis enter.

Regina:

Listen up, everyone! This girl here, she's a witch! She tried to frame me and she's been manipulating all of you! You've all seen it, right? How she was always so perfect and nice? That was all an act! And she's been using her powers to control you all! Well, I'm not gonna let her get away with it anymore!

Cassandra:

The only manipulator around here is you, Regina. You're the one who's been spreading lies with your mom about Maximis.

Regina:

Prepare to meet your maker, witch! You think you can just walk away from this unscathed? I'll make sure that everyone knows what you're capable of. You'll be sorry you ever stepped foot into this school. Apep, my second wish! I wish to be muscular!

Apophis:

Granted!

Apophis uses his magic to make Regina muscular.

Regina:

[wicked laughing]

The students and staff gasp in shock as Regina's body suddenly becomes more defined and powerful. She flexes her muscles, revealing toned arms and abs. Her eyes gleam with newfound confidence.

Regina:

Oh, but I can, and I will! And you're going to regret ever crossing me! You think you can protect yourself with your little magic tricks? Well, I've got news for you, witch! I'm not afraid of you or your powers.

Braxton:

Regina, you were suspended. You broke all the rules! You shouldn't be here!

Regina:

Ah, but there’s a new rule now. MY rules. And my first rule is that there are no parents and principles ALLOWED! I'll do whatever I want, and no one can stop me! Now, where was I? Ah, yes. Cassandra, you'll be sorry for what you did. You'll see. I'm going to make your life a living hell!

Regina snaps her fingers.

Sir Bulleezalot and his black knights appear from behind the curtain.

Sir Bulleezalot:

Greetings, fair lady Regina. We are here to aid you in your quest to rid this school of the witch Cassandra. Our numbers are few, but our loyalty is strong. We swear to obey your every command, and to help you uncover the truth about this girl. Together, we shall bring justice to this place.

The principal and vice principal are frozen in fear.

Cassandra:

You can't just summon people to do your bidding, Regina! You can't just make everyone follow your twisted rules!

Regina:

Oh, but I can, and I will! Because now, I have the power of Apep on my side. I have the power to make people obey me and the power to protect myself from your witchcraft. And don't you dare try to use your magic on me, because I'm not afraid of it. In fact, I welcome the chance to prove that I'm stronger than you. Now, does anyone have anything to say before I make the new rules?

Clara:

I do!

Regina:

What do you have to say for yourself?

Clara:

[screaming] Maximis got me pregnant! [points to Maximis] Your stupid ex-father got me pregnant! It’s his child, you stupid bully!

The students and staff gasp in shock at Clara's revelation.

Regina:

What? No way! You're lying! You're just trying to get back at me!

Clara:

You want to know how Maximis got me pregnant? He wanted a child better than you, you freak of nature! He released his sperms into my swimming pool when he pictured me naked! I went in the pool to swim in it, not knowin' what he's done, and... and it happened. And it was his child! And now, I'm having his baby, you lying golddigging hooker!

The principal and vice principal are frozen in fear. They can't believe what they're hearing. The truth about Maximis and Clara's baby is finally revealed, and it's not what anyone expected. At first, Regina wasn't sure if she was making a joke or not, but when she realized she wasn't joking, she went berserk.

Regina:

(screaming) You lying piece of trash! You're the father? You stupid, lying bastard! You're having a baby when you already have me? You're going to ruin everything I've worked so hard for! I'm going to make sure you both pay for this! I swear it! I'm going to destroy you both!

Enraged, Laversha storms up the stage and shoves Clara. She then kicks Maximis.

Laversha:

You got this woman pregnant, you pig! I divorced you, you dirty piece of trash! And now you want to have a baby with this woman? You're disgusting! I hope you rot in hell!

Maximis gets to his feet. His eyebrows lower in determination and he grits his teeth.

Maximis:

Hell, schnell! I don’t need no stinking gold diggers taking people’s money away in divorce settlements! You know why? [puts on a pig nose and ears] Because I am a dirty pig, the pig of all pigs!

Maximis presses a button on his speakers.

Everyone hears pig sounds on speakers.

The students laugh at Maximus's joke. The principal and vice principal look on, dumbfounded. Laversha, however, is not amused. She glares at him.

Regina:

You think that's funny? You think it's funny that you got this woman pregnant? How are you going to take care of her now? Huh? You're just a worthless piece of trash! And don't you dare try to act like you care about her! You don't care about anyone but yourself! You're pathetic!

Maximis:

Check it! Laversha and Regina, you two have gone and worked my last nerve! I have no other choice. You both are so rotten, so despicable, so mean, I am filing you, and your friends Maya and Zoey on the permanent restraining order list. You are banned from my house, from my life, from ever seeing my unborn child, even!

The crowd gasped as they witnessed Maximis revealing a stack of papers in his hand, a permanent restraining order against Laversha, Regina, Maya and Zoey. Laversha's face turned pale, at first shocked, then enraged.

Laversha:

Well, restrain this!

Laversha punches Maximis, sending him flying into musical instruments.

The crowd gasps as the musical instruments surrounding Maximis clatter to the floor. He struggles to stand, clutching his stomach in pain.

Laversha:

You'll pay for that, you piece of trash!

Clara:

Laversha, what has gotten into you and why are you doing this?!

Laversha:

Because I can't let him get away with this! He's been hurting me for years, and now you will pay the price for it too, you stupid, worthless...

Maximis stands up, wiping blood from his mouth. He looks at Laversha with a mixture of anger.

Maximis:

You fiendish devil woman! I got Clara pregnant because I love her and I want a family with her. Unlike you, Laversha, who only cares about money and power, I actually care about the person I'm with. And as for you, Clara, I love you and I want to be there for you and our child.

Clara looks at Maximis, torn between her feelings for him and her anger at Laversha. Tears well up in her eyes as she listens to his words. Laversha, on the other hand, grows more enraged with each word.

Laversha:

You selfish pig! You think that just because you knocked her up, she's going to stay with you? She doesn't need you, and neither does your brat!

Maximis:

Oh, yes she does! Call me a pig all you want to, but I know I can be a better father to her child than yours, Laversha!

Regina:

You're pathetic, Maximis. You're just as bad as she is! You both just want to use us for your own selfish purposes! Well, guess what? I'm not going to let you do that! I'm going to make sure you both pay for what you've done! (turns to Apophis) Apep, I make my third and final wish! Me, Zoey and Maya wish to be all powerful witches of the universe!

Apophis:

Your wish has been granted, my goddaughter.

Apophis uses his magic.

A blinding light fills the room, and when it fades, Regina, Maya, and Zoey are revealed to be wearing flowing, crimson robes adorned with silver embroidery. Their faces glow with an otherworldly radiance, and their eyes shimmer with power. The air around them crackles with energy as they raise their arms, with arcs of electricity dancing between their fingers.

Regina:

Yes. YES!!! [wicked laughing] (to Davian) You see, nerdy dinosaur boy? I am the world’s most powerful person! You couldn’t learn anything from The Princess and the Knight. You're a pathetic fool and a legitimate piece of trash!

Davian:

[picks up a cake] Here’s one thing I learned from the movie!

Davian throws an orange Halloween cake at Regina’s face.

The crowd gasps as the orange Halloween cake hits Regina's face. Her expression of shock turns to one of anger. She wipes the cake from her cheek and glares at Davian.

Regina:

Oh, you stupid little...! (spits frosting onto the floor) You'll regret that, nerd boy!

Regina levitates a Frankenstein cake then flings it.

Davian ducks, leaving the cake to pelt Amina’s face.

The crowd gasps as the cake strikes Amina, sending her reeling backwards.

Sophie:

Oh, Amina.

Amina:

Yes?

Sophie smothers a cream pie on Amina’s face.

Maya taps her shoulder then slaps a cherry pie on Sophie’s face.

Sophie:

Oh, yeah?

Sophie slaps a black frosted cake at Maya’s face then slaps another one behind her head.

Sophie ducks, leaving Maya to hit Lionel with a pumpkin cake.

Braxton:

Oh, what in the name of god is going on here?

The principle dodges a pizza thrown by Zoey. It hits Jade.

Braxton gets hit in the head by ghost cake.

Braxton:

Okay, I did not see that coming.

Braxton gets hit in the head by another ghost cake.

Zaiden:

[yelling] FOOD FIGHT!!!

The students threw food and pastries at each other with abandon, their laughter and shrieks of delight filling the air. The food fight spread quickly, engulfing the entire gym as students from all corners of the school joined in on the chaos. Cakes, pies, and cookies flew through the air like missiles, splattering against the walls and ceiling.

The gymnasium descended into chaos as the food fight escalated, with cakes, pies, and other pastries flying through the air in a colorful blur.

Covering his face, Apophis slowly makes his way to the entrance then disappears in a cloud of red smoke.

One student recorded the food fight with his iPhone.

Flying pastries struck students in the face and splattered on the walls, coating everything in a layer of sugary goo. Even Apophis, as he slipped away unnoticed, couldn't resist the urge to grab a piece of cake on his way out.

A whipped cream pie hits Sir Bulleezalot's helmet.

Sir Bulleezalot:

Oh, very funny. Very funny indeed. You know, I'm a black armored knight with a broadsword and a shield. I could easily defend myself from your pathetic attempts at humiliation--

Another pie hits Sir Bulleezalot's helmet, this time sending a stream of whipped cream down his armor. He blocks another oncoming pie with his shield, instantly defending himself. An orange frosting cake hits his helmet off his head, sending it flying onto the floor.

As the fight raged on, alliances formed and broke apart as quickly as the flying pastries.

Davian throws sauce-covered spaghetti noodles at Regina.

Regina:

That was an expensive dress. You'll pay for that, nerd boy!

Davian:

With what, $200?

Regina:

With this!

Regina levitates a yellow frosting cake then tosses it at Davian. The pie hits Davian squarely in the chest, splattering sticky yellow filling across his torso.

Cindy, Farima, Sophie and Agatha threw pies at Laversha.

Laversha:

Oh, my dress! I’ll get you four for that!

With that, Laversha snatches a handful of chocolate chips from a scattered cookie and hurls them at Cindy, Farima, Sophie, and Agatha. The four girls duck and squeal, scattering in different directions as they dodge the missiles of chocolate.

Celeste throws a pie at Pete.

Celeste:

[giggles]

Pete slaps a whipped cream pie on Celeste’s face.

Celeste:

Oh, you naughty boy.

Pete:

Oh yeah, baby. Take it like a champ.

Pete and Celeste kiss passionately while the students continue to throw pies at each other.

The food fight rages on as students continue to throw pastries at each other. The air is thick with the smell of chocolate, whipped cream, and sugary dough. A pumpkin pie sails through the air, narrowly missing the principal, who is now frantically trying to avoid being hit.

Cassandra throws several pies at Regina, who swats them away with karate chop skills.

Regina:

I was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do before I even came to this school. You should've known better than to mess with me, Cassandra Magladena! Girls.

Maya:

With pleasure.

Maya throws cookies at Cassandra, who ducks as the cookies hit the principal instead.

Maximis gets rapidly hit in the face by pies.

Maximis:

Oh, now you've done it.

He wipes the last of the whipped cream from his face.

Clara:

(seducing Maximis) Oh, Maximis.

Clara seductively puts whipped cream on her lips and leans in towards Maximis.

Clara:

(seducing Maximis) Come and kiss your pregnant teacher girlfriend, you naughty boy.

Maximis:

(blushes) Oh, I am naughty for making you pregnant, aren't I? I suppose I deserve this... (he leans in to kiss her, the whipped cream smeared across his lips mixing with the remnants of the pie) Mmm, you're not so bad yourself, honey.

Clara giggles.

Cassandra jumps onto the table, launching pies at Regina.

Regina:

WHY YOU?!!

Regina throws a pie with her magic at Cassandra, who ducks.

The pie hits Samantha, who eats the frosting.

Samantha:

Mmm... That was good!

The walls and the floor are mess as the students continue the food fight.

Augusto throws a chocolate cake, dripping it onto the fried chicken. The chocolate cake hits Regina's face.

Regina:

Oh, you didn't.

Regina levitates the cake plate, throwing it at Augusto with incredible force. The plate hits him square in the chest, sending the chocolate cake flying everywhere. He coughs and sputters, trying to catch his breath. Augusto picks up a ghost cake.

The cake hits Laversha’s dress.

Laversha:

Oh, you wish you could be me!

With that, Laversha grabs a handful of gummy bears from a nearby table and chucks them at Augusto, hitting him square in the back. The gummy bears stick to his shirt, making a sticky mess. He turns around, revealing a surprised expression on his face.

Augusto:

Why you!

He gets hit by a cream pie splattering onto his chest.

Davian:

Hasta la vista, Laversha.

Davian sprays whipped cream into his mouth and spits it on Laversha’s face.

Laversha:

Oh, you're going down, dino boy!

Davian:

Oh, really? Let's see what you've got.

Davian picks up a red towel and uses it as a muleta.

Davian:

OK toro! Toro! Toro! Toro! Olè!

Regina charges at Davian, who dodges, sending her flying onto the table, which launches a fruit punch bowl into the air.

The fruit punch splashes onto Principal Braxton, dyeing his suit a vibrant shade of pink. He coughs and sputters, He blows his whistle.

Everyone stops the food fight to look at the principal. He sees Regina, Maya and Zoey about to throw the pies at Cassandra.

Braxton:

What the hell is wrong with you three? You should be ashamed of yourselves! You got chocolate on the fried chicken, fruit punch on the table, and whipped cream everywhere! This is the most disgusting mess I've ever seen in my life! I only hope I have enough money to pay for my bills and food. I don't have any money left for this mess!

Regina:

Uh uh. No admonishing me now, Braxton. I'm the principal, remember? I'll decide what's right and what's wrong around here.

Braxton:

This is the last straw. I suspended you for calling Davian a "snowflake". Before that, you had a clean record. Now you're going to have to face the consequences. You are hereby sus--

On the stage, Alem grabs a microphone.

Alem:

[speaking into it] Hey, stop everything.

Braxton:

Hey! Who are you?

Alem:

I’m Alem and this is an emergency. Only for a minute. [speaks into the microphone] Will everyone listen up, please?

The students turn their attention to Alem.

Alem:

The city is in danger.

Everyone:

What? [murmuring]

Female Student:

What do you mean “in danger”?

Alem:

Thousands of years ago, Apophis tried to take over Egypt. He wanted to destroy the universe and rule over everything. And now he's released from the puzzle box.

A murmur runs through the crowd.

Braxton:

You must be joking.

Alem:

Hey, I'm serious. This is not a joke.

Lionel:

Mr. Murfe, listen to him.

Alem:

I know this sounds crazy, but he’s here tonight and he’s rampaging the whole city. He’s right over there.

He points to the far corner of the gym where Apophis is standing, dressed in his black and red hooded cloak.

Apophis:

Ah, Alem. After thousands of years of eternal darkness in that puzzle box, we meet again.

Alem:

You can't win this time, Apophis.

Apophis:

Oh, but I will, with the help of my goddaughter, Regina, her mother Laversha, and her friends Zoey and Maya.

Regina steps forward, grinning evilly.

Alem:

Your goddaughter? I don't understand. How can she be your goddaughter if you're a god of destruction thousands of years ago? And what about her friends? They don't seem to be part of this.

Regina:

Oh, Alem. You're so sweet, but you're so naive. You see, he has been watching me and my friends while he was trapped in that puzzle box. He saw that my ex-father, Maximis, spanked me and slapped my mother Laversha, and he decided that we would be the perfect pawns to help him make the three wishes come true.The first wish would be to turn Maximis' house into a luxurious mansion, the second would be for me to become muscular and the third one was for me, my mother Laversha, and my two friends Maya and Zoey to become the world's most powerful witches, The Witches of Chapina. Once we became witches, we would use our powers to help him take over the world. Of course, I didn't tell Maximis, Principle Murfe or anyone about Apophis being my godfather. I knew Principle Murfe would suspend me for calling that nerdy dinosaur boy, Davian Niklaus, a "snowflake", then he would spank me with a coal shovel for being disrespectful. And then he would slap mother during their argument about my bad behavior. That's why he is my godfather.

Maximis:

Is that what this is all about, Sir Bulleezalot accusing me of child abuse and all this voodoo stuff?

Apophis:

Indeed, Maximis. You have been abusive to your daughter and her mother. It is time for you to pay the price.

Maximis:

You're the villain here, Apophis! You're the one who's been plotting with my ex-daughter and her friends to take over the world!

Regina:

You're just jealous, Maximis. You never liked me.

Maximis:

As much as any other father ever loved a daughter.

Sir Bulleezalot:

Oh, is that right? So, you're saying that you disciplined Regina because she got suspended from school for calling Davian Niklaus a "snowflake".

Maximis:

Yes. Her mother manipulated you all into thinking I hit Regina and Laversha. She was the one who wanted to get back at me for leaving her.

Maximis:

Yes. Her mother manipulated you all into thinking I hit Regina and Laversha. She was the one who wanted to get back at me for leaving her.

Sir Bulleezalot:

So, what you're saying is that Laversha manipulated me into thinking you hit her and Regina?

Maximis:

Yes, it's true. Laversha manipulated you, but that's not the point. The point is that I'm a good father who was just trying to raise his daughter the right way. And now, because of Apophis' interference, everything is turned upside down.

Sir Bulleezalot walks up the stairs on stage and stalks toward Laversha.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You skunk.

Laversha:

Now, now, now. There's no need for that.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You lowdown, no-good, manipulative scoundrel!

Laversha:

No, no, please calm down.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You unscrupoulous gold digger!

Laversha:

Oh, now wait just a minute. I never said that was the reason. I just wanted to get rid of Maximis because he was abusive and terrible to both me and Regina. You're making it sound like I did it for some selfish reason.

Sir Bulleezalot grabs her by the shoulders, his eyes wide with anger and disbelief.

Sir Bulleezalot:

You conniving harlot! How dare you accuse Maximis of such things! He was only disciplining. You need to know the difference between discipline and abuse!

Laversha:

Get your armored hands off me!

Sir Bulleezalot tosses Laversha.

Davian kicks Laversha.

Laversha:

Why you little brat!

Davian:

You set the fire that killed my maternal grandparents.

[the students gasps]

Laversha:

So?

Davian:

So, you did it.

The crowd gasped. Laversha's face paled. Maximis looked shocked. Regina was silent.

Laversha:

Hey, hey, now come on. Just because I set a fire and killed your grandparents doesn't mean I deserve this.

Davian:

My mom trusted you and you lied! Why’d you do it? So you could build a hockey stadium for Zon Billancourt?

[the students gasps again]

The crowd gasped again, some showing shock and others disbelief. Laversha's face twisted into a mask of anger and betrayal.

Laversha:

Davian, you’re having trouble separating fact from fiction.

Davian:

What I am saying is true.

Laversha:

Okay, I think you’ve made your point. Just stand down and let’s talk about this outside.

Davian:

I’ll stand down as soon as the cops get here, which will be any second now.

Laversha:

You’re lying.

Davian:

No!

Davian knocks Laversha.

Laversha:

Why you little snowflake!

Davian:

How dare you talk to me like that? It’s humiliating. You treated Maximis like a slave.

The crowd murmured, with some showing sympathy for Maximis.

Laversha:

If he hadn’t spanked Regina and slapped me in the first place, I wouldn’t have kicked him out of my house.

Davian:

Then why did you do it?

Regina:

She was just trying to protect me, Davian. She didn't want me to get hurt. You know how much I hated Maximis for abusing me.

Davian:

That wasn’t your house to begin with. It was his. Plus, your daughter broke his $900 ship in a bottle.

The crowd murmured again, with some clearly siding with Maximis.

Laversha:

Now let’s take it outside and pretend this never happened.

Davian:

You don’t care about Maximis. You never did cared about him. You forced him to marry you so you can steal his own money.

The crowd's reactions were mixed, with some siding with Davian and others looking unconvinced.

Laversha:

What?

Regina:

Davian!

Davian:

That’s all you care about. You don’t love Maximis. You used him. He didn’t love your daughter. In this city, all you’re interested is how much you can steal from the men you’ve married!

The crowd murmured, clearly unsettled by Davian's accusations. Laversha's face turned red with anger. She turns to Regina.

Laversha:

You’ve got a gun! Why don’t you do something?

Regina:

Like what, genius?

Laversha:

Shoot him!

Regina:

I can’t shoot a man.

Laversha:

[snatching the gun from Regina’s holster] Give it to me, useless!

The crowd flees in a panic, some screaming, others simply trying to get out of the way. Laversha lunges at Davian, but he's too fast; he ducks out of the way, rolling across the floor. He lands on his feet and spins around, narrowly avoiding a swing from Laversha's arm.

Davian, Cassandra, Maximis and Clara run for their lives, while Laversha continues to chase them.

Laversha aims the gun and fires.

The chase continues as Davian, Cassandra, Maximis and Clara dart through the school halls, their hearts pounding and lungs burning.

Laversha:

After them! (to Regina, Zoey and Maya) After them!

Regina and the others nod, running after the group. Laversha's anger fuels her as she pursues them. The hallways are filled with students panic-stricken, running and screaming in all directions.

Alem:

You won't win this time, Apophis.

Apophis:

Oh, but I will. I've waited thousands of years to get my revenge on you.

As Alem charges, Apophis shoots lightning from his hand and tosses him aside.

Apophis:

You have no idea what you're dealing with, Alem!

As Alem rushes at him again, Apophis uses his otherworldly powers to freeze the ground beneath the young man's feet. Alem slips and slides helplessly, falling to the ground hard.

Apophis:

You're weak, Alem, just like the others. You don't deserve to wield the power of the gods.

Alem and Apophis disappear in smoke.
