Line #7 Awesome/YoungWizards


1	* In general: Any time a character says "Fairest and Fallen, greeting and defiance," you just know awesomeness is about to ensue.
2
3	* The climax of ''So You Want to Be a Wizard'':
4	** Nita reads of the Book of Night with Moon to keep all of New York (and the world, and the universe) in existence, and [[TakeOurWordForIt the coming to life of all the trees and statuary in the city]], including Prometheus of Rockefeller Center and the lions from the Public Library steps. ...and it's all frickin' incredible.
5	** Nita finds the Lone Power's name in the Book that controls and sustains the universe...and ''edits'' it. This redeems the Lone Power.
6	** Fred sacrificing himself to ''reignite the Sun''.
7	* ''Deep Wizardry'':
8	** The battle of the krakens and, y'know, everything during the reenactment in the underwater canyon.
9	** Ed the Master Shark oozes raw awesome. Especially at the end of the book when he sacrifices himself in place of Nita by ''physically attacking the Lone Power'', which results in the gathering of many many sharks which proceed to rip the avatar of the Lone Power into shreds.
10	-->'''Ed:''' "LONE POWER, I ACCEPT YOUR GIFT!"
11	** ''So rage, proud Power, fail again, and see my blood teach death to die!''
12	* ''High Wizardry'':
13	** Dairine goes head to head with the Lone Power and traps it within the darkness of her soul, which she does by stopping the expansion of the universe, causing all of the photons trapped in the expanding space-time to suddenly get wherever it was they were going much faster.
14	** Nita takes several magical blasts from [[{{Satan}} The Lone Power]] without even flinching, and then she reveals that she's powering that shield with ''a year of her life per shot''.
15	** One for the Winged Defender and Her brilliant gambit to help redeem Her brother.
16	* ''A Wizard Abroad:'''
17	** Almost all the wizards in Ireland, wielding four legendary weapons (including a spear they forged by channeling the heart of a star) marching to war in the Lone Power's alternate world based on Irish mythology. When one of the weapons is destroyed and it seems like they've lost, they're given a chance to win by a tiny white kitten getting up and calling the Lone Power out with epic poetry.
18	* ''Wizard's Dilemma'':
19	** Nita's mom:
20	--->"This is my universe, and ''I'' say what goes here, and ''she does not have my permission''.... My daughter and I are fighting the same battle. Maybe I do it in more ordinary ways. But we're on the same side. And you, if I recognize you correctly, are no friend of mine. ''Get off my turf!''"
21	** Kit has a BigDamnHeroes moment, where he turns up right when Nita has pretty much given up her wizardry, bringing along the old version of Neets's name, before she had made her DealWithTheDevil, fixes it into the spell with the glede or "dragon's eye" and blows all the cancer right out of Nita's mom's system. Unfortunately this isn't enough to save Betty . . .
22	* Nita in ''A Wizard Of Mars'' ''turning back a flood'' and then kicking the ass of the person who tried to kill her. She lays out and fuels the Gibraltar Passthrough, a transoceanic passthrough designed and used by the famous hydromage Angelina Pellegrino. She then proceeds to control two ''huge'' snakelike structures of water and threaten to wipe her rival's city off the face of Mars "like dog poop down the driveway"! Then she engages in what's supposed to be mortal combat with Aurilelde, tells off Aurilelde and "explains" to her the real meaning of love, and then yanks the kernel out of 'Lelde ''after Aurilelde had become the "war goddess" of Mars,'' and proceeds to calm down Mars, tell off the "Martians," and decide to save Aurilelde's life instead of following through with the prophecy.
23	* ''A Wizard Alone'':
24	** Darryl manages to trick the Lone Power into being trapped in a universe he created himself!
25	** Nita's BigDamnHeroes moment, where she pops into Darryl's universe ''with'' the kernel (which she's fixed so that nobody can mention Darryl being an abdal,) explodes all the glass windows with her energy weapon and manipulates the Lone Power into letting Kit and Darryl go.
26	* ''Wizard's Holiday'':
27	** Dairine organizing and leading a team of alien wizards to fix the Earth's Sun without any guidance or input from Senior wizards, closely followed by Roshaun's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, stepping out of the protective wizardry and ''into the center of the Sun itself'' to tweak it on the molecular level, risking his own life for a star that wasn't his own, to save a planet he (claims he) doesn't even like. Good thing he's a master of star-based wizardry. Coupled with his regal calm, the scene becomes pure Moment of Awesome.
28	** Nita and Kit making the Lone Power practically ''beg'' them for help.
29	** Nita telling off the Lone Power, then forcing it to do what she says. In part because she makes it very clear to the Lone Power that if She doesn't hold up Her end of the bargain, Nita will take her to arbitration. With, it's implied, ''The One'' as judge.
30	** Offscreen, it's implied, Ponch talking Quelt past her fears and helping her gain the courage to help her civilization move forward.
31	* ''Wizards at War'': ''Ponch the dog'' gets one near the very end. Ponch had been growing in intelligence and general power throughout the series because he hung out with Kit and Nita so much. After all of the wizards on earth (excluding the adults who had all become powerless thanks to spreading darkness) were unable to stop the spread of the Pullulus (the darkness), he starts howling and in doing so gathers the strength of every dog in the world, and grows into a gigantic Dog-shaped shadow full of stars. He then proceeds to lay a smackdown on the Pullulus while fulfilling a previously mentioned prophecy: "The Hound taking His old enemy by the throat and throwing him down, yelping, against the floors of heaven." This all takes place on the damn MOON. Ponch ''is'' the Dog Who Is God.
32	** Ronan. Three words: "''But I would!''"
33	* ''Games Wizards Play:''
34	** Upon meeting her protegee's emotionally abusive aunt, who rattles off a long list of wizards she's descended from, Dairine shuts the other wizard down in epic fashion: By first addressing her using the Speech equivalent of "miss" (in other words, saying she's nothing special), noting that her mother walks with the Transcendent Pig, that she's the Mother of Mobiles through her own wizardry, and that she knows people (specifically, Roshaun) with a ''much'' longer and more noble pedigree who don't make nearly as big of a deal about it. Oh, but don't bother kneeling to her, it would be a shame to get those jeans all soggy.
35	** Up to this point, we've never seen a proper wizard's duel/shapeshifter showdown before in this series. Kit and Penn get into one, where they each shapechange themselves into variations of agreed-upon elements, and it. Is. '''Awesome.''' Penn chooses the more "aggressive" elements of fire and air, while Kit stays with earth and water. He then proceeds to take Penn back to school.
36
37	* Carmela, despite not being a wizard, gets her fair share of Moments of Awesome. She attacks the Lone Power with a laser eggbeater, stops prickly Roshaun from engaging a bunch of teen punks by ''holding his hand'', and subdues an entire squadron of gun-toting aliens using only a ''chocolate bar.'' .
38	* The owl's rescue of her tree in ''Owl Be Home For Christmas'', creating the Strigid Word and then taking on - and beating - the Lone Power. Not because she needed the tree, but because the tree needed ''her''.
39	--> ''We're going to get my tree back. We're going to put things right.''
40	* In the ''Feline Wizards'' book ''Book of Night with Moon'', the main characters become incarnations of the PowersThatBe, with Ith enacting the role of the Bright Serpent, to fight the Old Serpent.
41	%%** And who could forget Rhiow in ''The Book of Night With Moon''? "WHAT HAS BECOME OF MY CHILDREN?"
