(In a mysterious cave - once home to several Gore Magala...) Wisp: "Shade, HOW did this so-called 'demondrug' end up on my bed?!" Shade: "...I don't know." Wisp: "Of course you don't know! We've been living in this cave EVER SINCE technology came here, and you STILL don't know what I'm talking about?!" (As Wisp and Shade continue to argue, the rest of the Mana Spirits - except Dyrad for some unknown reason - watch on in confusion.) Salamander: "Do they always argue like that, Jinn?" Jinn: "Unfortunately, yes. Wisp and Shade have always been the quarrelsome ones. It's like they were born to argue with each other." Luna: "It's rather entertaining to watch though, isn't it? I've never seen such animated arguments before." Gnome: "Well, I don't find it entertaining at all. It's disruptive and takes away from the peace and tranquility we mana spirits seek." Undine: "Gnome, you're always so serious. Lighten up a little. Sometimes a little chaos is good for the soul." Gnome: "Chaos? I beg to differ, Undine. Order and harmony are what nourishes our spirits. Chaos only disrupts and breeds anxiety." (Just then, Dyrad's screams of pain coming from her chamber startle everyone.) Wisp: "What in the name of mana is happening to Dyrad?!" Shade: "We need to go check on her immediately!" (The mana spirits rush towards Dyrad's chamber, worried expressions etched on their ethereal faces. As they enter, they find Dyrad writhing in pain on the ground, her arms covering her swollen belly.) Salamander: "Dyrad, what's wrong? Can you hear us?" Luna: "Is she in danger? We need to do something!" Jinn: "Hold on, let me see if I can communicate with her. Dyrad, can you understand me? What's happening?" Dyrad: (groaning in pain) "It's...it's coming..." (Dryad screams in pain again.) Salamander: "What's coming? What do you mean?" (Dryad continues to scream in pain - worrying her fellow Mana Spirits.) Undine: "We need to help her! This is unbearable!" Gnome: "Stay calm, everyone! We need to assess the situation and find a solution." Wisp: "Enough with the calmness! Dyrad is suffering, and we need to do something!" Shade: "Wisp is right. Let's not waste any more time. We need to figure out what's happening to Dyrad and how to help her." Jinn: "I'll try to connect with her again. Dyrad, please, if you can hear us, give us any information you can." (Dyrad's screams begin to subside, and she opens her tear-filled eyes.) Dyrad: "It's...it's time...please...help me...!" Salamander: "Time for what, Dyrad? What do you need help with?" Luna: "Is she giving birth? Could it be...a Mana Spirit?" Jinn: "Dyrad, focus. What do you mean by 'it's time'?" Dyrad: "I...I'm giving birth to a...a corrupted Mana Spirit. It was...growing inside me all this time without me knowing." Gnome: "Corrupted?! How is that possible?" Undine: "We need to act quickly, we can't let a corrupted Mana Spirit be born into this world." Wisp: "But how do we stop it? What can we do?" Shade: "We have to find a way to cleanse the corruption, to purify the Mana Spirit before it's born." Jinn: "Dyrad, we'll do everything we can to help you. Stay strong." Dyrad: "Please...protect the Mana Spirit...save it from the darkness." Salamander: "We will, Dyrad. We won't let the darkness take hold." Luna: "Let's gather our powers, together we can cleanse the corruption." Undine: "And we'll surround Dyrad with our healing energy, take away her pain." Gnome: "We must create a barrier, to keep the corruption from spreading." Wisp: "And I'll guide our powers, make sure they go where they're needed most." Shade: "Let's do this, for Dyrad, for the Mana Spirit, and for the balance of our world." (With their determination fueling them, the Mana Spirits form a circle around Dyrad. Their glowing essences merge, creating a brilliant light that envelops her. With every surge of energy, Dyrad's pain lessens, the corruption slowly fading away.) Salamander: "It's working, the corruption is being cleansed!" Luna: "Don't give up, keep pushing!" Jinn: "Dyrad, stay with us, we're almost there!" (Dyrad's screams turn into gasps of relief as the corrupted Mana Spirit is purged from her. The light fades, revealing a small, pure Mana Spirit floating in the air.) Undine: "We did it! We saved it!" Gnome: "The balance is restored." Wisp: "And Dyrad...she's going to be okay." Shade: "We should name the Mana Spirit, as a reminder of what we can overcome." (After seeing the electricity-like energy coming from her child, Dryad - now exhausted but smiling - speaks softly.)
