EPISODE 26: GOTTA BE KID TIN, THE ORDER OF HADAQUIN VISITS

ABOUT: The righteous order Knights of Hadaquin comes to Paige for custody of Balthazar.

In the Shuudan Headquarters Paige is sitting on Isis' picnic blanket playing with toddler Balthazar. To the left next to her is Isis is eating a sandwich. Kiro, Candace and Coribun are martial art fighting on the grass in the background. The team relaxes on Shuudan Headquarters ground. We see Paige lifting Balthazar up in the air playing while a shadow of three men overshadows her. "You're such a good boy, Baltie," she said. Candace has already stopped practicing. Kiro stops Coribun from practice fighting. We see a slender king-like man with a long white mustache. He is in between two muscle-bound Hadaquin knights. "This is the marvelous sovereign of the honorable and virtuous order of the Knights of Hadaquin. We-"

Paige slowly stands up and Isis grabs baby Balthazar. "You are here to take Balthazar away from me," Paige interrupted. The knights want to attack Paige because she interrupted them. One knight said, "Why you!" The other knight said, "How dare you interrupt us!" The sovereign stops them by a touch of his hand, "Let me." The Sovereign is a king-like man with long white mustache. "Yes we are, as sovereign of the order of Hadaquin, I most take official custody of Balthazar." Paige folding her arms. Kiro is in steady watch of the knights and sovereign. Isis is holding toddler Balthazar. "Balthazar is mine! I adopted him fair and square," Paige said. "I am afraid not. You cannot keep him," the Sovereign explained. Paige grabbed Balthazar from Isis and walks into the building.

Paige walked in the halls of the building with Balthazar. "Mommy," Balthazar said. Paige looks at Balthazar. Paige asked, "What did you just say?" Balthazar said, "Mommy, who were they?" Paige's bedroom in the Shuudan Headquarters, they sit on her bed. "They are here for you Balthazar," Paige said. Balthazar asked, "Why?" "When you're older I'll tell you," Paige said.

Head Elder and Sovereign walking through the Shuudan Gardens. "I comprehend your dilemma Sovereign but there is nothing we can do to change Paige's mind. She is very determined," the Head Elder said. "I am aware of how much Paige loves Balthazar but he must be raised in the ways of the Hadaquin. He must be in our possession," the Sovereign said. Sovereign turns to Head Elder. The Head Elder asked, "Does he have family?" "He murdered them," the Sovereign said.

Candace and Isis sit on the bed with Paige and crawling Balthazar. Isis asked, "Are you will to fight for him?" "I am, Isis. I am," Paige said. "All I'll say to you Paige is to be ready," Candace said. Paige, Isis and Candace hug. "We'll there to support you," Isis said. Candace asked, "Friends?" "Forever," Paige said.

Sovereign, his two knights on left side and the five rangers on right. "If you continue to be stubborn about giving Balthazar to us, you'll have to successfully complete a test with destiny to see if you are the rightful guardian of Balthazar," the Sovereign said. "I'll do the test. I can do it. I will do it for my son," Paige said. Paige looked around and behind her was just black. No one around her except for the Sovereign. Paige asked, "What happened to my friends?" "You will begin the test now," the Sovereign said.

Paige sees images flash. Seven-year-old Balthazar playing soccer with other little boys. Nine-year-old Balthazar in a little league game. Thirteen-year-old Balthazar playing basketball. Rogue knight Balthazar (from Episode 14) burning his home with his family there. They lived in a pretty Camelot-type of cabin. Screams of agony by Balthazar's family. Balthazar twisting a person's head off.

A Camelot people crowd around Rogue knight Balthazar with his arms tied behind his back kneeling. Paige watching in horror. The crowd chanted, "Kill him! Kill him!" Paige with her hands spread out to the air at the towns people. "Stop! He can change! He's my son," Paige begged. Paige fighting off the crazy mob. Paige unties rogue knight Balthazar. Paige asked, "What happened?" "I can change mom," Balthazar pleaded. Paige reassuring Balthazar, "I know you can son." "I want to be a knight again," Balthazar said. Paige asked in a very astonished voice, "What?"

Then it was dark again, Paige was alone in a black place. She then saw she had toddler Balthazar in her arms. "I want to be a knight," the small child told her. Paige sat down on what seemed to be the floor with adult Balthazar looking down at her. "I was told this would come," Paige.
