Darna: Episode 79

79. Snakes On War

Tuloy ang bangungot ni Darna sa pagkatalo sa kanya ni Valentina at pagtatagumpay ni Borgo. Pinalitan na ni Ding ang numero ng telepono ni Darna kaya naman galit na galit lalo si Regina dahil lalo na siyang mahihirapan sa paghahanap dito. Dumarami ang mga nawawala sa Nueva Esperanza na ibibintang kay Valentina ngunit ang totoo ay may ipinadudukot ni Ibarra at Borgo bilang Madame Victoria ang mga tao upang gawing Extra. Kasama sa mga madudukot ang guro ni Ding na si Annie (Hannah Ledesma) at si Andre ngunit siya ay makakatakas. May kapangyarihan na ang huli at isa na siyang Extra. Sa halip na humingi ng tulong ay sasarilihin na lamang niya ang lihim. Matutuklasan naman ni Ding na sila Ibarra ang dumukot sa mga tao at kanyang guro. Magkakataon naman na dumadalaw si Brian sa kanila habang tinitignan ni Ding ang mga CCTV sa piitan ng mga Extra kaya mapagsasabihan it ni Brian. Hihingi ng saklolo sa mga kasama si Brian dahil hindi na niya matawagan si Darna. #DarnaSnakesOnWar

Ayan na at bumalik na nga ang mga Extra at mukhang dadami pa sila ngayon. Kahit na nakalap na ni Luna ang mga bahagi ng Krisalis at naibalik sa Marte ay nagawan na naman ni Ibarra ng paraan upang madaling maisalin ang kanyang pinagsaliksikang Krisalis. Ano naman ang kapangyarihan ni Andre? Hangin? Nauunawaan ko naman na natatakot siya subalit dapat ba kapag Extra masama agad? Bakit hindi na lang siya magtayo ng Vulcanizing Shop? Kumikitang kabuhayan na yan tatanggi ka pa ba? Sana hindi siya maging kaaway, magkaroon man lang ng kakampi si Darna na may kapangyarihan din. Tila maayos pa naman ang kanyang pag-iisip, nakakapagtago pa nga siya ng lihim sa mga kaibigan niya di ba. Madadagdagan pa kaya sila? Sa pakita kasi ng susunod na kabanata ay mukhang si Ibarra na ang huling Extra at mapipigilan na siya ni Darna? Kung ganito nga ang mangyayari, maganda naman na nagkaroon ng dulot ang isang hindi naman pangunahing tauhan gaya ni Andre. #DarnaSnakesOnWar

79. Snakes On War

Darna’s nightmares about Valentina defeating her and Borgo being triumphant keeps haunting her. Ding has already changed Darna’s phone number which means Regina is fuming again because she just lost her biggest lead in finding her. The number of missing people in Nueva Esperanza multiplies and the blame is placed on Valentina when the real score is that Ibarra and Borgo as Madame Victoria are spearheading the kidnapping of townsfolk to be turned into Extras. Among those kidnapped are Ding’s teacher Annie (Hannah Ledesma) as well as Andre who manages to escape. The latter is now an Extra and has powers but instead of asking for help, he just keeps his secret to himself. Ding finds out that Ibarra is responsible for the missing people including his teacher. It so happens that Brian is at their house for a visit while Ding is monitoring the CCTV at the rehabilitation center for Extras which leads to Brian chastising him. Brian asks for help from his friends instead now that he can’t contact Darna. #DarnaSnakesOnWar

There you go, the Extras are back and it looks like they will be multiplying soon. Even though Luna already gathered the shards of Krisalis and took them back to Marte, Ibarra managed to find a way to easily inject the Krisalis he experimented upon. And so, what are Andre’s powers exactly? Air? Why not just put up a vulcanizing shop? That’s a legit source of living right there, why hesitate now? I hope he does not turn into an enemy, just to see Darna get an ally with powers. His sanity appears to still be intact, though, given how he can even keep his secret from his friends. I wonder if their numbers will grow. It’s just that in the preview of the coming episodes, it looks like Ibarra will be the last Extra and Darna will eventually defeat him? If this turns out to be the actual flow of events, then it’s nice that a secondary character like Andre is at least given some relevance to the storyline. #DarnaSnakesOnWar
