SCENE: Maya Wilson faces the Hollywood directors of the Psychic Magi movie franchise on a football field on "Psychic Magi Franchise" day. (Good walk up song here would be "Believer" by Imagine Dragons.)
(they had to use a football field because that& #39;s how many fans this series has) The directors were supposed to be doing a Q&A on the series to the fans but Maya and her team interrupted them.
MAYA takes off her black cloak with hood: My name is Maya Wilson. You are the Council of Psychic Magi. You are not of this planet.
Director: Security!!!!
Director: Security!!!!
MAYA takes out her staff and it expands in her hand kinda like a double bladed lightsaber. One end has a fire design on it (the top) with an orange glow in the middle. The rest of the TEAM are hiding.
MAYA: I know who you are. You cannot keep hiding in plain sight.
MAYA: I know who you are. You cannot keep hiding in plain sight.
Other director: What are you talking about?
MAYA: You& #39;ve invaded the planet, created a fictional story about your kind, and made it a showstopping franchise. Hiding in plain sight. I couldn& #39;t have done better myself!

MAYA: But you took everything from me. Ten years of my life I was alone and broken. I was told I had no power. But the power... it comes from the planet itself. MY planet.
((I have better lines for this in exchange for money.))
MAYA& #39;s staff ignites in flame.

CLARA, the WATER MAGE to the others: Steady...
Head of security to walkie talkie: GET HER OUT OF HERE!!
GUARDS swarm the stadium.
FIGHT SEQUENCE with MAYA fighting off the guards with fire magic. REALLY COOL MUSIC plays. The TEAM remains in hiding.

MAYA to the directors on the panel after defeating all the guards: Try me.
Director #1& #39;s face starts to morph into a blue alien. (Design TBD)
D1: You knew.
MAYA angrily: I always knew. As soon as I crash landed here. It was just a matter of opening the door.

The rest of the directors start to morph back into their alien form and start attacking MAYA. The crowd screams and starts to run. Maya& #39;s TEAM protects the crowd.
A random adult walks up to MAYA and morphs into an alien.
MAYA: Galan???

GALAN: Maya, even before you arrived at the academy I knew the Council were planning a coup. This is your duty. Protect your home.
GALAN joins the fight against the Hollywood aliens with MAYA.

(haven& #39;t thought of more fight dialogue yet so pay me first you alien west coast ingrates hahaha)
MAYA gets pretty beat up to the point of almost unconsciousness. PETER, the team member who designed their Psychic Magi uniforms, yells across the side of the stadium. (They are nearest each other at this point in the battle.)
PETER: Maya!!
PETER: Maya!!
ALIEN #2 to MAYA: Elemental magic is not for weak planets like yours. Just because you awakened Earth& #39;s magic does not mean it will save you or your people.
MAYA to ALIEN #2: You don& #39;t know anything about my people.
MAYA to ALIEN #2: You don& #39;t know anything about my people.
MAYA makes the Star Trek "Live Long and Prosper" signal to Peter.
PETER: ATTACK!!!!
The rest of Team Maya (Earth) (Temporary Name) draw their staffs and attack the ALIENS.
PETER: ATTACK!!!!
The rest of Team Maya (Earth) (Temporary Name) draw their staffs and attack the ALIENS.
The elemental magic in play here -- Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Light, Darkness. Only the most powerful Magi can wield two elements at once. None of Team Maya has managed it yet, so nobody has the element Light or Darkness.
This surprises the Hollywood aliens. More human teenagers with Psychic Magi abilities, all with their own staff, albeit mechanical. There are 6 of them. Their team dynamic is a guerrilla style military formation. It helps that one of the team (an Air Mage) can turn invisible.
