Transformation
Summary of Darna Episode 4
(April 7, 2005, Thursday).
Voices wake up Narda. She sees a grown-up Ding, a young boy, and her grandma smiling at her. She asks what time it is and they tell her. She jumps out of bed for fear of the market vendor she works for.
Ding tells the little boy about the giant snake. He tells the boy he was just a baby when it happened so he doesn’t remember. The boy is somewhat incredulous.
Narda gets dressed and hurries on the way to the marketplace. She bumps into a veiled old woman. Later she passes by Oscar, the crazy homeless bum. She also meets a lady security guard who is her friend.
Narda notices a giant billboard that displays the face of Valentian.
Aling Echeng scolds Narda for being late. She reminds Narda she always gave a loan to her grandma and this is the old woman’s way of repaying her. She reproaches Narda for giving a customer less meat than was weighed on the scales. She says people will think they’re cheating. Narda mumbles an apology. The woman says it wasn’t a good idea to get free labor from Narda as payment. A young man chopping meat nearby keeps looking at Narda. Narda hears the name Efren and is absent-minded. Aling Echeng nudges her and tells her to go back to work.
Valentina is now a leading fashion model. Her face can be seen everywhere in magazines and TV screens. On the set, she is a prima donna. She scolds the crew on petty matters. But she smiles at the handsome photographer there. He is Efren.
At night, Narda is a janitress. Her boss reminds her being late a third time will get her fired. She says sorry. The boss, a kinder woman than Echeng, says maybe Narda is overworked. Narda says she has to work hard; her family relies on her.
Narda hears co-workers talking about the people’s need for a superhero.
The dark man in a cloak awakens Braguda. She is in a cocoon. It falls from a tree and opens. Braguda rises and announces the time has come. She tells her subordinate that this is a special time. She says the planets have lined themselves. She says the real battle has begun and the power challenging her is also from Planet Marte. The dark man is confident. Braguda tells him not to be stupid.
Oscar the taong grasa comes to his daughter’s old home and begs to be allowed to see her. A man meets him at the gate and tells him to go away. He says Agens, Oscar’s daughter, is gone and doesn’t want to be found. Oscar recalls how he maltreated his daughter and how she left him. He blames himself.
Oscar returns to his filthy den where he talks to the insects and rodents. He tells his pets that they will be giving “them” a surprise. He loads a .45 caliber pistol.
At night, Narda passes by Aio again. Aio says Narda’s goodness is admirable and the time has come. Narda asks what she means and if they each other. Aio leaves.
Narda walks alone that same night at the top of a building. Below her is the cityscape aglow with light. She looks at the mystic stone and wonders what it’s for. A voice tells her she is the sole heir of the powers of the Adranika. It says she must swallow the stone and shout the name written on it. The name “DARNA” flashes on the surface of the stone.
Narda wonders if she’s going insane. She swallows the stone and shouts the name. She spins and gets dizzy. She falls to ground and rises with new power. She has become Darna.
