SYLVIA: You fool. Don't you know what you're giving up? Everything that your species finds desirable. Look at me. I am a woman. I am all women.

KIRK: I don't know what you are but you're not a woman. You've tortured my men and taken their minds from them. You ask for love and return pain instead.

SYLVIA: (holding a phaser) Korob was wrong. I didn't destroy all your weapons. Give me the transmuter. Give it to me!

(Kirk smashes the wand against the table, and there is a blinding blue light.)

EXT. PLANET SURFACE

(Kirk is standing on the rocks holding a phaser. Spock approaches wearing his tricorder. McCoy, Scott and Sulu follow him.)

MCCOY: What happened, Jim?

KIRK: That'll take some explaining, Bones.

SCOTT: Everything's vanished.

KIRK: Not everything.

(By his feet are two tiny blue fluffy creatures of the flowy-whispy variety: pipe-cleaner arms and legs, and facial squid tentacles, and fresh crustacean posteriors from the grocer.)

KIRK: Korob and Sylvia as they really are. Their forms were an illusion, just like the castle and everything else. Only the power pack gave them reality.

SPOCK: Fascinating. A life form totally alien to our galaxy. If we could preserve and study this

(But the little puppets collapse and die. Smoke rises from the bodies.)

MCCOY: Too late. All of this, just an illusion.

KIRK: No illusion. Jackson is dead. Kirk to Enterprise. Come in.
