That's him.

Let's get him.

Gabbie.

Are you all right?

Red.

Yes, Gabbie?

I wanted to ask you this last time.

What were you doing at Regina's house?

We were just visiting, Gabbie. Like you.

Yeah, we just visited her.

You were there at the same time?

And you also went there together?

Why not?

Me and Red are friends.

You're lying again, Lloyd.

Why?

What are you hiding?

Nothing.

Why won't you tell me the truth?

Don't you want whoever did this to Regina to get apprehended?

Believe us, Gabbie.

If someone did this to Regina,

we'll cooperate so the authorities would catch him.

But, we were told that Regina got sick and died.

Nothing else.

Or maybe you saw a thief, Gabbie.

Really, Lloyd?

Is that how you really see it?

You're smart, Lloyd.

Even you would know that it's too coincidental,

that a robber went to their house

at the same time Regina died.

My condolences.

My condolences.

Does my daughter really have powers

for this to happen to her?

Maya,

we have to tell her what is wrong.

I saw her use her powers,

when she was trying to escape from that monster.

Tripon is out to get us, Father.

He's gonna take our powers.

We have to protect the kids, Conrado.

Ability to invade body of the weak.

Super speed.

Ability to suck your spirit and gather power.

This is what we know of him, so far,

So,

we really can't surrender our powers.

We're not going to survive.

Once Tripon manages to get all our powers,

he'll grow stronger.

How can we beat him?

It seems impossible.

Especially now. We're no longer complete.

Regina's gone.

There's still hope.

V and the Crusaders survived.

How were you able to do that?

I just braced myself and summoned all the courage in me.

Then, it is your strong spirit that saved you.

Because Tripon preys on the weak.

That's what you kids need to do.

But how can we defeat him?

Jesse, didn't you say that he got hurt

when you used your power against him?

Then it is your combined powers

together with your extraordinary strength of spirit,

that will defeat the devil.

You must train to build teamwork.

And now,

are you really ready to overcome the fear in your hearts,

and accept the responsibility?

See you, Grandma.

Jesse! Where are you going? Come back here!

Left.

Right.

Left.

Right.

Left.

Right.

-Almost there. -Left.

-Almost there. -Right.

Left.

Right.

Left.

Right.

You did it!

Congratulations, it's a new record!

-Good. Your bag, Lloyd. -We did it. Great!

-Hi, Nato. -You guys are stronger now.

-What's up, Nato? -Let me join.

Of course, buddy.

You're still a part of our secret club, man.

Right, guys?

-Right on. -No way.

-Come on, Jesse. -Forget it.

-Guys. -You're a jerk.

So full of yourself.

Just kidding.

Guys, like what Miss V said during our hike,

-We should all stick together. -That's right.

One for all, all for one, right?

Camera Club.

Camera Club, 1, 2, 3!

Camera Club!

Hey, let go.

Come on, let go. Quit it.

Badong.

Have you made your decision?

I accept, Conrado.

I will teach your students.

Thank you, Badong.

We need you more than ever.

After what happened to Regina Watanabe?

So you've heard.

I know what it's like to lose a child.

I do not wish that on anyone.

We must begin the training at the soonest time possible.

Okay.

All right.

I'll wait for your call.

What's this Gabbie?

You want to join the Camera Club?

Yes.

I have my sample photos in there.

I may not be that good in using a camera,

I know I can learn quick.

Your photos are okay.

But why do you wanna join our club?

Well, I know why you guys are always together.

You want to find out the truth about Regina, right?

I like that, too. That's why I'm joining.

Guardians.

Hi, Gabbie, good thing you're here.

I'd like you to make a feature in Echoes.

Absolutely. What is it about?

It's about our newest member of our school.

Dr. Salvador Narvaez.

-Good afternoon, sir. -Hello.

Nice to meet all of you.

Hello, sir.

Meding!

You're gonna give me a heart attack.

Get dressed, Fortunato.

Father wants the gym cleaned

before the students arrive.

-Okay? -All right, all right.

She really startled me.

Mom.

In two days,

your son will turn 16 years old.

And just like your wish,

I'll make this a grand celebration.

What a great artist this kid is.

What are you drawing, Fortunato?

A spaceship.

I see.

That's what you learn from reading encyclopedias.

Hold on. Here. Happy birthday!

I hope your mom doesn't haunt me.

Mom's here?

No, it'll take a long time before she comes.

But her last wish was

to always celebrate your birthday,

most especially your 16th birthday.

16? What happens after?

This will be my best birthday ever.

Mom,

I finally have friends to celebrate with.

Hey, Nato, what's taking you so long?

Fix up the gym in time for the horror party.

It's a Halloween Ball.

Nato.

We're required to attend the ball, right?

It's not a Halloween Ball.

"How old is Nato?"

"16-years-old."

Read it.

"You're invited to his birthday party."

"October 8, 1993. 6 p.m. Camera Club HQ."

Wait, I thought your birthday is on the 9th?

Why is the party set tomorrow?

Come on, man.

I've been telling you this for days already.

Tomorrow's my birthday, that's a Saturday.

We don't have school,

that's why we'll celebrate tomorrow.

Right?

I expect you all to be there, okay?

Of course we'll be there, right, guys?

Yeah. Now that's what I'm saying.

-Yeah, sure. -I'll think about it.

I already have a gift for you.

What is it?

Surprise.

Whatever that is, I'm already happy.

But do you know what I really want?

-I know. -All right, what?

You want height, right?

No.

I want to have powers.

Just like you guys, so I'd have a sense of belonging.

Buddy, you already have powers.

It's right inside of you.

Watch out, once I get my powers,

Tripon's doomed.

Father, how will we defeat Tripon?

There should be five guardians.

We're one short.

Don't we have any potential candidates?

Maybe they're yet to be discovered.

We only know of four

who possess powers.

This wouldn't happen if Jose was here.

But he quit on us.

We're not safe anymore.

Until the solar flares come,

Tripon's power won't be at full strength.

We still have time to prepare.

So you're an expert on Tripon now?

The people must not be alarmed.

Everything must remain normal, even in this school.

Is that why we're pushing through with the Halloween Ball?

How can you think of that at this time?

-It's not like that... -This shouldn't happen.

It's too dangerous.

We did not come here together

to argue.

We're all here to calmly discuss the things that are happening,

in a peaceful manner.

What kind preparation must we do?

Just like what Azon said,

we should prevent distress and panic.

The people must not know

of the impending doom that Tripon will bring.

Everything should seem as normal as possible.

And that is our responsibility, as elder guardians.

Miss V will start doing the rounds

along with the rest of us to watch out

for unusual activities that might take place.

And the new guardians must continue their training,

so they'd be ready in time

to face Tripon, even at his full strength.

They must be capable of fighting Tripon.

But, Father, our numbers are too small.

Aren't the odds against us?

Do we actually need five guardians?

We may only have four guardians

but they have powers like no other.

Power that came from Sekmeta.

But they can learn to use for the greater good

the power bestowed upon them

through our guidance,

and their continuous training.

You still want us to train, Father?

I think we can already handle Tripon, right?

You saw firsthand what that monster is capable of.

What he did to Regina.

Maybe we do need help.

Someone who can replace Regina as guardian?

How about... Nato?

Nato is just a normal person.

We won't be able to find a fifth guardian.

But,

I know of someone who can help you.

The new school psychologist?

Is he also a guardian?

No, but Conrado... I mean, Father Luna,

has told me everything I should know.

I strongly support your school's mission,

and that's why I'm here.

I will teach you everything I know

to strengthen your powers and for you to use them correctly.

Father,

are you sure we can trust that shrink?

It's proven in the past, that any person

can help with our cause.

Badong is a trusted colleague.

But we're not just entrusting him

with the secrets of the organization.

By training the new guardians,

we're putting not only the fate of the world in his hands.

I've complete faith in him.

After school the training will start

for Red, Jesse, and Lloyd.

How about the young Asanza?

That is to be discussed.

You're grounded?

Yes, I have to go straight home.

I can't join any extra co-curricular activities.

But I need your help for the Halloween Ball.

Father approved the event,

so he's expecting so much from us.

Why were you grounded?

My mom's waiting for me, Gabbie.

I'll tell you next time.

Does this have something to do with Regina's death?

Maya,

we've been friends since freshman year.

You're my most trusted editor in Echoes.

All we haven't done...

-Is share the same toothbrush. -Is share the same toothbrush.

So you can tell me anything.

Gabbie,

there are just some things that I can't tell you.

Not now.

Gabbie, I'm really sorry.

There are just some external powers,

and a bigger picture that I need to consider.

You know me, I'll tell you when I'm ready. I promise.

Bye, Gabbie.

I have spoken with Lloyd's father.

I've explained everything as well to Jesse's stepfather.

No. I won't allow this.

Cynthia, please listen to us, okay?

No!

I won't subject my child to danger.

So, Maya won't join us in training?

She almost transferred schools.

It's a good thing Father convinced her mom

to let her stay in St. Nicholas.

She doesn't have to be a guardian anymore.

At least they can look after her.

But Maya's father is a guardian.

The Vice Mayor.

He should've convinced Maya's mom to continue training.

Good afternoon, boys.

Did you bring the objects I asked you to bring?

-Yes, sir. -Good. Wait.

We'll use that for later.

I need for you to understand what it is we're doing here.

Before you can strengthen your powers,

you must first learn how to focus your energy.

And that's where these objects come in.

The items you have brought hold powers in them.

Not the object itself, but the memories it contain.

What memory does your object bring?

Focus,

on the energy coming from that memory.

And once you have that energy,

channel it directly to your powers.

Red.

Try to stack those items in front of you.

Don't focus on the memory.

Focus on the energy

the emotions you were feeling at that moment.

Calm down.

So you can focus.

Make sure you pull out only the happy emotions.

Strength comes from positive energy.

Jesse.

I want you to hit one of those targets from here.

When you master this,

you'll be able to control your duplicates.

And become tangible.

I can't do it.

It's okay, Lloyd.

It's all right.

But you must have courage.

Fear will only hold you back.

The man has been through a lot.

He is weak emotionally and physically.

What if Tripon possesses him?

Or maybe he already is?

Relax, Belle.

After the encounter with Tripon,

I can tell the difference with the possessed ones.

I'll see you later, okay?

Miss V?

-Doc. -Hello.

How may I be of service?

Doc, your office seems to be hot,

is your aircon broken? We can have it fixed.

I get cold easily, I just turned it off.

So, how can I help you?

I'm here to tell you

that Father Luna prepared a welcome dinner for you.

Conrado shouldn't have.

Forgive me, Miss V,

but I must rest this old body of mine.

It's exhausting training those kids.

Perhaps another time.

I'm sorry.

-Thank you. -Of course.

Excuse me.
