X-Men: Evolution (2000) s02e07 Episode Script
African Storm
After 10 long seasons the night winds have finally answered my pleas.
Our wandering goddess has been found.
The power of the Wind Rider belongs to us! We will claim her once again and Africa will be mine! Jean! Sit here with us.
Hi, guys.
I was looking for Duncan.
Haven't seen him.
Hey, how did you do on your school progress report? Pretty good, I guess.
You know, easy classes.
Well, you know, I think I'm gonna go find Duncan.
Heads up! Thanks! Pay you back! - My shirt! - Dude! Evan! Evan! Principal Kelly.
What's up? Sorry.
I got held up at school.
All right, then.
We're behind schedule.
Let's begin.
- Which one are we doing? - Storm Catcher.
- Computer, begin.
- Oh, man.
Really? I'm not ready.
I mean, I forget.
Am I supposed to catch you? No.
Protect me.
Get me from here to there safely.
I'm in your hands, Evan.
Auntie O! Yeah! Spike's in the house! Storm? What's going on? Where are you? Focus, Evan.
Remember your training.
- We covered smoke screens just last week.
- I can't remember what to do! Hurry, Evan! Use your ears! Evan, get me out of here! I'm sorry.
The smoke screen threw me.
Just go! Leave! Don't blame me for that box! I didn't activate it! Neither did I.
Evan? Are you down here? Who's there? Come on! Sorry.
I get that a lot these days.
- Are you all right? - I don't know.
I I just had a rough session with Evan, and I guess I'm a little jumpy.
Seems the school hasn't had an easy time with Evan, either.
I found this in the trash.
- Evan's progress report.
- And here I thought we were reaching him.
I am having serious doubts that he is reachable.
Thanks, Risty.
See you tomorrow.
No! Go away! No.
Stop.
Stay back! Stay back! Ororo, are you okay? - Someone was in here.
- Logan? - Nothing.
- Check the security system, just in case.
Right.
Back to bed, half-pint.
Everything's fine.
I could swear there was someone in here, but lately I've been so Upset? Yes, I know.
Could this have something to do with Evan? - Maybe.
He's been quite a handful lately.
- I know he has.
He's showing less regard for school, training, even me.
Ororo, I think we both know what needs to happen here.
It was clearly a mistake to remove him from his parents.
- What are you saying? - That the best thing for Evan and for you is to have your sister come and take him home.
Perhaps you're right.
Ororo, what's wrong? What happened? Ororo? Kitty? Nice pool party you got going here.
- Ororo, are you all right? - Is there anything we can do? No.
Thank you.
I'll be fine.
Professor.
- Then you know.
- Yeah, I know.
- When's she coming for me? - Tomorrow morning.
No big deal.
It's not like anybody's gonna care.
That's not true, Evan.
You just never let any of them get close to you.
Hey, I'm fine with it.
I better get to school so I can clean out my locker.
I'm telling you, the woman's seriously starting to lose it.
First, she thinks someone's out to get her.
This morning, she wigs out in the bathroom.
I feel bad for her.
She has it tough enough dealing with her claustrophobia.
What? How did you know about that? You know, it's just gossip.
One of your friends at the Institute mentioned it.
Anyway, I'll see you at lunch.
You should have seen her, Scott.
I'm really starting to worry.
Hey, Ororo's a tough lady.
Whatever's bugging her she'll work through it.
- Guys! - Hey, did you hear about Evan? - No.
What? Well, I just saw him emptying his locker.
He's being sent back to his parents.
You're giving up without a fight, man.
Come on.
Let's go to the professor and ask for another chance.
Why do you even care? I mean, it's not like we're friends or anything.
Well, I thought we were.
- Yo, Evan, what's up with this? - Come on, let's talk about it.
- Maybe we can help.
- Why's everyone keep stressing about me? It's really no big deal! All right! Yes! Watch out! Sorry, Mr.
McCoy.
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Nice moves, Cannonball.
Is Storm holding a session out here in the fog? Nope.
She never showed up, so we thought we'd improvise.
Which is usually followed by costly repairs.
Well, I guess that means I'm your sub and I've got just the activity for you.
Okay, listen up.
It's time to learn a valuable commodity: Self-restraint.
The goal is simple: volleyball with no powers.
And for me to survive a session without a trip to the infirmary.
No way you can hit that hard without your powers! Oh, boy.
Evan? Evan, wait! Don't run away! Evan! - Nirambo! - You must turn back.
- It is not safe.
- Where's Evan? What have you done? - Evan! - No! The Hungan has come for you! What's going on here? Leave me alone! Professor! Somebody's got Auntie O! No! Let me out! Please! Let me out! Your spirit has been broken, Wind Rider and now I can take it from you! Where is your power now, goddess? Gotcha.
I've tracked her to the docks.
- She's here somewhere.
- We're on our way.
Pardon me for not waiting.
Where is she, bub? I won't ask twice.
I tried to save her.
- From what? - The Hungan.
I believe this man has answers we need.
Where is the Hungan holding her? In a crate aboard a ship, the Unyoka.
But the Hungan has captured Ororo's spirit in his staff.
- Why? - For turning the village against him 10 years ago.
And now he will use her power to rule over Africa.
Team up, and let's move it! Watch your back! Oh, man! What are these guys? Ghosts? Their weapons are real enough.
We can stop them, just gotta move fast.
There! You're too late.
Storm? I'm in your hands, Evan.
You're toast, dude! No! You want my powers, Hungan? Here's more than you can handle! It's okay, Auntie O.
He's gone.
They're all gone.
They've simply vanished in the mist.
- I guess I'm ready to go, Mom.
- Evan, we were just discussing that.
Your aunt feels things might be different if you were given another chance.
You were there for me, Evan.
- Let me be there for you.
- What? Really? Absolutely! I mean, I am your number one pupil from this day forward.
No doubt! Yeah! Hey, guys, guess what.
I'm staying! - Cool! - All right! All because of the way I popped that voodoo loser's orb.
Man, I gotta admit, that was one tight example of heroics.
- Oh, man, it was probably a lucky shot.
- Yeah.
What are you talking about? Spike is in the house!
Our wandering goddess has been found.
The power of the Wind Rider belongs to us! We will claim her once again and Africa will be mine! Jean! Sit here with us.
