First Flight

Summary of Darna Episode 5
(April 8, 2005, Friday).

Darna walks over the edge of the building and falls. She screams until she finds herself floating in the air. Darna smiles as she flies. She soars in the sky.

Darna lands awkwardly on the pavement. Aio smiles unseen. Darna cannot control her flying; she floats. She tells herself if she was able to do it before, she can do it again. She flies again and lands uneasily.

Aio greets her and asks if she enjoyed her flight. Darna asks who she is and says she always sees her. Aio says it doesn’t matter who she is, but for Darna to know her own identity. Darna asks why she can fly. Aio says she asks too many questions. What matters is Darna is the sole heir of the powers of the Adranika race, and she is the upholder of justice in her world. Darna asks what Adranika means. Aio says she will know in time. Darna asks how to become Narda. Aio tells her to shout her name.

Darna hears a train holdup going on. She flies to the rescue. Darna fights the robber in a fistfight. She blocks his blows and throws him aside when the door opens. The robber takes a woman hostage. Darna grabs his hand and breaks his pistol. She twists his arm. He throws a live grenade. She dashes to the floor and picks it up and throws it outside in the air. It blows up. Darna chases the two thieves outside and flies and catches them. She drops them near policemen.

Darna waves to the crowd when they cheer her. Efren sees the flying woman. Darna notices Valentina’s billboard too late. She hits smack into the billboard and puts a hole in it where Valentina’s nose is. Darna is embarrassed. She lands unseen and bites her nails.

Braguda says she needs a sugo, an emissary. She sends swarms of insects to bring her their master.

Next day, Darna is in the news unnamed. Narda gets upset when Ding tells her he dropped a subject so he won’t have to go to school early. Narda tells Ding to take his studies seriously. Milagros (grandma) sighs that if only she were healthy still, Narda would still be in school. Ding leaves for school.

Oscar’s landlord brings police and tells him to leave in a day or else.

Oscar and Milagros meet. She is good to him and he thanks her. He tells her he can’t find relatives if they don’t want to be found. He says the cockroach with him is his friend. He goes home and shoots himself dead.

Valentina is angry with Darna for punching a hole in her billboard. She says it mustn’t happen again. Narda is in same building and hears her.
