In a dark forest, the time portal opened itself and the eight heroes fell hard on the ground. They slowly got up on their feet just in time to look the full moon in the sky.
"Is everyone okay?" Zack asked.
"We're good." Camilla replied with a thumbs-up. "Thanks, Dashiell."
"Hey, has anyone seen Talia?" Ariana asked.
"Up here!" Talia spoke.
Ariana, Dashiell, Kirana, Ezra, Zack, Camilla, and Yami looked up to see Talia clutching onto the tree branch. Talia slowly stood up and skillfully leaped down to the ground with the rest of the team.
"Dashiell, where and when are we?" Kirana asked Dashiell.
"We're in Transylvania!" Dashiell gasped in awe. "In the year thirteen hundred."
"Are you serious?" Ariana exclaimed.
"It's fascinating, but then again we are at a bad time of year." Ezra said.
"Transylvania? Isn't that where monsters exist?" Talia asked.
"Yup." Camilla replied simply.
"And extremely dangerous if you're planning on living there." Yami added.
"But before we hunt down Saskia, we better blend in." Dashiell explained.
Dashiell lifted his Temporal Staff in his hands and the crystalline flower started to glow in bright indigo light. A light indigo smoke began releasing from the Temporal Staff and into Dashiell's outfit, changing his attire into something different. Dashiell now wore a short-sleeved steel blue bodysuit with a dark blue utility belt, black gloves, and black knee-length combat boots. Talia stared at Dashiell's new outfit with pink heart-shaped eyes.
"Oh, so handsome." Talia said with a flirtatious smile.
"You have a boyfriend, Talia." Camilla snapped as she smacked Talia by the back of her head.
"You guys also better blend in too. And I know just the thing." Dashiell said with a smile.
Dashiell aimed his Temporal Staff at the seven heroes and released a light indigo smoke around them. In a flash of light, their attire has changed into something different. Kirana wore a dark blue collared trench coat over a blue corset-like jumpsuit that covers her whole body, long black fingerless gloves that covered her forearms, and black combat boots. Camilla wore a dark red collared trench coat over a red corset-like jumpsuit that covers her whole body, long black fingerless gloves that covered her forearms, and black combat boots. Ezra wore a dark teal collared trench coat over a white shirt, black jeans, long black fingerless gloves that covered his forearms, a dark teal detective hat, and brown boots. Talia wore a dark orange collared trench coat over an orange corset-like jumpsuit that covers her whole body, long black fingerless gloves that covered her forearms, and black combat boots. Ariana wore a dark purple collared trench coat over a purple corset-like jumpsuit that covers her whole body, long black fingerless gloves that covered her forearms, and black combat boots. Yami wore a dark grayish sleeveless bodysuit with a black utility belt, two black gloves with dark grey arm bands, and dark grayish combat boots. And Zack wore a dark hunter green coat that has a dark grey zipper in the middle, black jeans, dark hunter green fingerless gloves, and black knee-length boots along with a dark brown western hat and an iron metal mask on his face.
"Awesome!" Kirana, Yami, Camilla smiled in awe.
"So rad!" Talia, Zack, and Ariana grinned in awe.
"Like the hat." Ezra said, while admiring his hat.
"You all need to prepare your magic to your full potential because we have to find the next mystical monster before Saskia does." Dashiell warned with narrow eyes. "And that monster is none other than...Lucine. The Empress of all mage vampires."
Kirana, Ariana, Ezra, Camilla, Talia, Zack, and Yami gasped in shock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the heroes walked deeper into the forest, they suddenly heard an echoing howl around them.
"Uh, what was that?" Talia asked nervously.
Suddenly, a group of mage werewolves came out of nowhere and began surrounding the heroes with dangerous growls. The K-5, Zack, Yami, and Dashiell summoned their powers in offensive stances.
"Mage werewolves?!" Ariana exclaimed.
"The same ones who attacked me and Zack." Yami said.
The mage werewolves lunged forward to strike the heroes, who quickly moved away from them. Kirana released several scythe-like blades of water at three mage werewolves from her hands. Ariana raised her hand above her head to form a ringed sphere of purple psychic energy inside it and hurled it toward the ground in the direction of the mage werewolves. Ezra blasted two teal energy beams from his palms at the mage werewolves to stun them and knocked them to a wall with a teal psychic energy wave. Talia fired multiple blasts of air at the mage werewolves that detonated around them. Camilla jumped high on the tree branch and gathered electricity from her hands to release a concentrated, destructive blast at four mage werewolves below. But she noticed that she was cornered by the mage werewolf leader, causing her to jump down on the ground. She screamed as she began running from the mage werewolf leader along with two mage werewolves chasing after her. Yami noticed Camilla running away from three mage werewolves and sprinted after them until she unexpectedly found them gone out of her sight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Camilla continued running away from the mage werewolves until she crashed her face directly into the tree before slowly falling on the ground. She got up and rubbed her head with a dizzy groan, but she quickly looked back to see no mage werewolves in her sight.
"What the?" Camilla gasped in confusion as she was looking around for a sign of the mage werewolves.
Suddenly, a shadow began looming over Camilla that made her turn around to see a female mysterious figure in a dress standing a few feet away from her. The mysterious figure's eyes started to glow in dark pink and sped forward towards Camilla, who started screaming in horror.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, the heroes started huddling each other as the mage werewolves got them cornered. The mage werewolf leader began walking up to them with a growl.
"Guys, any suggestion?" Kirana asked.
"I've got it!" Talia exclaimed. "Close your ears!"
Dashiell, Yami, Zack, Ezra, Ariana, and Kirana covered their ears as Talia took a deep breath and unleashed a blast of powerful orange sound waves from her mouth at the mage werewolves, causing them to run away from her with sad whimpers.
"That'll do." Ezra said with a smile.
Kirana and Yami sighed in relief while Zack noticed that Camilla was missing from the fight.
"Wait, where's Camilla?" Zack asked in worry.
"Mage werewolves were chasing after her. I went after them, but they disappeared." Yami replied.
"Camilla!" Kirana called out.
"Cam!" Ezra called out. "Where are you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the sun came up above the forest, the heroes heard groaning coming from the bushes and saw Camilla lying on the ground around the large trees.
"Camilla!" Kirana, Ariana, Talia, and Ezra cried.
Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Yami, Zack, and Dashiell ran up to help Camilla on her feet.
"Camilla, what happened to you?" Ariana asked.
"I don't know." Camilla replied in a low tone. "But I feel very...weird."
"Come on, team." Kirana said. "We gotta find Lucine before Saskia does at all cost."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone walked out of the forest and into the path that led them across the abandoned village.
"Whoa! What in the world happen here?" Ariana asked.
Kirana took a deep breath and began perceiving auras within the abandoned village, but she couldn't detect any living beings at all.
"I don't sense anyone here in the village." Kirana spoke in deep confusion. "Everyone just disappeared."
Suddenly, everyone spotted two black horses coming out of the fog. They moved out of the way, but the carriage stopped next to them. They looked to see a female stranger sitting inside from the side window. She has a tall, slender, statuesque figure with broad shoulders and narrow hips. She has pale skin, long silver-white hair, and twinkling pink eyes. She wore a long black velvet dress with slits up at the sides, dark violet tights, and black high heels.
"Darlings, you should not be out here." A female stranger spoke. She was hiding in the shadows of her carriage with pink piercing eyes. "The plague had already devastated this town. If you want my advice, go East."
"I know...that voice..." Camilla muttered.
"Thank you, ma'am. But we're actually going west." Dashiell said.
"Do not be foolish, darling. That's the path to mysterious death." The female stranger said.
The female stranger's eyes glowed dark pink that secretly caught Yami's attention. Yami looked at Camilla with a sideway glance and noticed that the red mage kunoichi was becoming almost mesmerized by the eyes.
With that, the female stranger took off through the fog.
"You alright?" Ezra asked Camilla.
"Not...feeling so..." Camilla muttered.
Camilla gasped sharply and collapsed on her knees. Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Dashiell, Zack, and Yami gasped in worry as they surrounded her in a circle.
"Camilla!" Ezra gasped as he kneeled down and felt his sister's temperature. "Oh, no."
"She's sick." Dashiell said as he walked up in front of Camilla. "Did everything happen to you back in the forest?"
"I...don't know." Camilla replied with a groan.
"She's burning up." Ezra said. "I've never seen this kind of disease."
Then suddenly, the Temporal Staff started to glow bright indigo that quickly caught Dashiell's attention.
"That's strange. The staff is telling me four mage werewolves are nearby." Dashiell said as he was pointing his Temporal Staff forward. "But they're embodied with kindness and compassion. Maybe they can help us."
Dashiell started walking forward that his staff was leading him as Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Zack, and Yami followed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the heroes followed Dashiell to the trail that the Temporal Staff was leading them, they came across four mage werewolves that were cooking soups in their humanoid forms. The male mage werewolf was tall and physically fit with caramel-colored skin, spiky brown hair, and golden eyes. He only wore black pants. The older female mage werewolf has dark brown skin, long mustard-yellow hair in curls, and bright yellow eyes. She wore a black jumpsuit that goes down to her knees. The middle female mage werewolf has caramel-colored skin, brown-and-auburn shoulder-length hair curls, and golden yellowish eyes. She wore a black jumpsuit that goes down to her thighs. She also has two golden hoop earrings in each ear. The younger female mage werewolf has tan skin, tight curly hair, and yellow eyes. She wore a black jumpsuit that goes down to her ankles.
The male mage werewolf saw the heroes, making three female mage werewolves turn around in alarm. The mage werewolf family stood up in offensive stances.
"Don't worry." Dashiell spoke calmly. "We come in peace. We are mage travelers from a far country."
The mage werewolf family remained calm from Dashiell's words. The older female mage werewolf saw Camilla sitting on the ground with a groan and began walking up to her as she placed her hand on Camilla's head.
"Guys, this mage isn't feeling very well." The older female mage werewolf spoke to her family. "We have to help her."
The male mage werewolf's eyes changed into bright teal glow and the heroes were coated themselves in colorful auras for them to see, especially for Kirana's surprise and awe.
"No need to be alarm, strangers. I possess the ability to see the feelings of humans and mage as colorful auras." The male mage werewolf said. "My name is Rezso. And these are my sisters Clarisa, Claudine, and Erika. We are travelers from our village."
"I am Dashiell." Dashiell introduced. "And these are Kirana, Camilla, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Zack, and Yami."
"Come, we must hurry. We must reach our village before nightfall." Rezso said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rezso directed the horses up to the path on the carriage as Talia sat next to him while staring at the abandoned houses with a nervous look on her face.
"We must be wary at all cost, Talia." Rezso said to Talia. "Transylvania has definitely became a target of dangerous monsters over the years. My aura vision has sensed great evil coming upon this land."
Inside the carriage, everyone was watching over Camilla as Clarisa saw two holes on the red mage kunoichi's neck.
"Oh no." Clarisa said. "She has the mark on her neck. She's been bitten by a vampire!"
"And the sun is coming down soon!" Erika gasped.
"No!" Ezra gasped. "Oh, Camilla."
"Is there anything we can do?" Kirana asked.
"We must make sure that she doesn't bite anyone or she will become a full vampire." Clarisa replied.
"But what about her?" Claudine questioned as she was looking at two holes on Yami's neck.
"I won't worry." Yami replied. "Camilla casted a spell to sustain this form."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Saskia and Ommin stood right in front of the doors to Lucine's castle and Saskia began knocking on them. The double doors slowly opened itself and the two partners stepped inside the main room along with Nefera. The main room has a huge throne chair that has two pink flames on its handles and a squared black and dark grey floor. Lucine was sitting in the throne chair as she saw Saskia, Ommin, and Nefera walking into the room.
"Greetings, Lucine." Saskia greeted.
"Welcome to my castle, demon." Lucine said with a grin. "I must say I'm surprised that you have come for me after all these years of traveling."
"Yes, that's true, Lucine. But if you don't obey under my command, I will send you back to the Netherworld where you truly belong." Saskia said with a threatening look on her face.
"As if." Lucine said. Her calm face slowly had turned into a dead glare. "But I'm not that easily frightened. I'm no ordinary vampire in case you haven't noticed."
Lucine opened her large bat wings out and took off high in the air. As she dove down to strike Saskia with supernatural speed, Saskia held out her left forearm gauntlet that was projecting pure white light to stop Lucine from attacking. Lucine dropped on her knees and covered herself with her bat wings to protect herself from the pure light with an angry hiss.
"Stop! Please!" Lucine demanded. She then noticed her wings were burning painfully with smoke. "Keep your power away from me, demon!"
"I thought so." Saskia said with an evil giggle. "Because for now, I am your master."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the full moon was set on the dark starry sky, Rezso was directing the horses halfway close to Lucine's castle while his sisters and his allies were discussing plans inside the carriage.
"Alright, once we're inside the castle, we roll in and strike her everything we got to expose her weakness." Kirana instructed. "Let's just hope Saskia hasn't made it there."
"Well, let's just hope Camilla will be back to normal after all of this." Ariana pointed out.
"Uh, guys?!" Talia screamed.
Rezso immediately stopped the carriage just when he heard Talia's scream and peeked inside to see Camilla standing on her knees with glowing pink eyes and sharp fangs. Before Camilla was about to bite Talia, Erika threw garlic on her neck that made Camilla fall back down in a sleep.
"She may be bitten, but she's not full vampire yet." Clarisa explained. "The garlic should be able to keep her docile long enough."
Suddenly, Ezra sensed a blazing black aura coming from behind the carriage as he got up and looked through the side window to detect someone behind the wheeled vehicle.
"Uh, Rezso?" Ezra spoke loudly. "Someone is following us."
Rezso turned around to see a female dark greenish skeleton flying behind the carriage. She has short black hair and wore a dark grey tattered dress that covered most of her body along with a dark grey hat decorated with black fluff and a black feather.
"Hang on!" Rezso shouted.
Rezso snapped the reins to make the horses run faster as everyone looked outside from the side windows to see skeletal creature heading in the carriage's direction. Claudine, Clarisa, Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Zack Dashiell, Yami, and Erika screamed when Rezso turned the carriage sharply before the wheeled vehicle steadied itself on the path.
The female skeletal creature spewed out an endless array of skulls flying in towards the carriage, causing the wheeled vehicle to spin around. Everyone was holding on each other tightly while Ariana, Yami, and Erika were screaming until the carriage finally stopped spinning suddenly. Kirana kicked the door open and helped Erika and Claudine out of the carriage with Ezra. Zack grabbed Yami's waist and helped her down to the ground as they followed their friends out of the carriage. Talia and Ariana stumbled their way out of the carriage while Dashiell and Clarisa stepped out of the wheeled vehicle.
"Is everyone okay?" Dashiell asked.
"Yeah, we're good." Ariana answered as she was holding a weak thumbs-up.
Claudine, Clarisa, and Erika immediately noticed that Rezso isn't with the others.
"Wait, where's Rezso?" Claudine asked.
"Uh no, he's gone." Talia said.
"Look!" Ezra called out as he pointed his finger up in the air.
Everyone looked up to see the skeletal creature carrying Rezso straight to the nearby castle.
"That skeleton must've carried him off." Zack gasped.
"Oh no." Clarisa whispered in worry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in Lucine's castle, Saskia was watching the skeletal creature from her right forearm gauntlet.
"Interesting." Ommin said.
"What kind of magic is that?" Lucine asked.
"This magic allows me to track down my enemies, Lucine." Saskia replied. "And they are coming in close, especially when I can recruit a mage werewolf under my command."
Lucine looked away from Saskia with narrow eyes, but she released a small smile across her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside, the heroes and the mage werewolf sisters began walking halfway on the castle walkway with the full moon shining over them. Talia and Zack were carrying Camilla over their shoulders while the red mage kunoichi was still being affected by the garlic.
Everyone suddenly stopped walking when they saw mage werewolf family's carriage was parked in front of them.
"Guys, get ready." Kirana said in alert.
Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra summoned their magic as they started surrounding the carriage and looked through the side windows to see no one inside.
Then, the muscular mage werewolf landed on the top of the carriage out of nowhere and began growling at Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra, who backed away to the rest of the team.
"That can't be good." Ezra said.
"Oh snap! It's him again!" Dashiell muttered.
As everyone ran away, the muscular mage werewolf started chasing Dashiell, Claudine, Clarisa, and Erika around the carriage. Erika, Claudine, and Clarisa then stopped at the edge of the walkway bridge just when the massive mage werewolf began lunging at them. But Dashiell fired a huge indigo energy beam from his Temporal Staff to attack the muscular mage werewolf that sent him away from the mage werewolf sisters. Talia, Zack, and Yami were watching the fight while trying to look after Camilla, who was sleeping on Zack's shoulder. Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra jumped up in the air to construct chains made of magical energy as they successfully restrained the muscular mage werewolf tightly. Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra stepped on their chains while trying to hold the massive mage werewolf away from Dashiell. The massive mage werewolf reached his hand out to Claudine, Clarisa, and Erika with a sad whimper just when Talia, Zack, and Yami arrived the scene.
Suddenly, Erika stepped in front of the mage werewolf and held her arm out to sense a familiar aura coming from him.
"Don't hurt him!" Erika cried out. "That mage werewolf is..."
Kirana's eyes glowed bright blue when she detected a strong brown aura coming from the chained mage werewolf.
"It's Rezso. Your brother." Kirana gasped with wide eyes.
Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Claudine, Clarisa, Dashiell, Zack, and Yami gasped sharply.
"I got an idea!" Talia shouted.
Talia waved her hand back and forth with a grabbing shape and pointed her magic at her hand to construct a dark brown headphone. She sped forward and placed the headphone on Rezso's ears, causing him to turn back into normal. He dropped his knees to the ground with his ripped pants after Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra released him from their chains.
"Rezso. Rezso, you're back." Clarisa, Erika, and Claudine cheered as they ran to hug their older brother.
"Oh, thank you, my friends." Rezso said. "I'm sorry that I went out of control. But what exactly did you do to me, Talia?"
"The last time we encounter a group of mage werewolves, I managed to use my sonic scream that weaken them." Talia explained with a smile. "So, I created a, uh, device that will allow you to be under control from your mind control rage. So welcome."
"Wow." Ariana said slowly. "Didn't think you can pull it off."
Suddenly, Lucine burst out of the carriage and froze Clarisa, Claudine, and Erika into a block of ice.
"Good evening, darlings." Lucine greeted with a dark smile as she sat on the ice block.
Rezso, Zack, Yami, Ezra, Ariana, Talia, and Kirana gasped as they confronted Lucine face to face. Before Lucine was preparing to finish the mage werewolf sisters with her magic, Rezso slashed the air in front of him and launched five teal energy beams at Lucine that made the mage vampire scream in pain. Zack hovered above the ice block and fired a dark ball of demonic magic to free Rezso's sisters. Kirana lifted her arms above her head to form a large ball of blue psychic energy and send it towards Lucine, but Camilla suddenly protected the mage vampire with a red force field made of magical energy.
Everyone gasped in shock to see Camilla was shielding Lucine. Camilla looked at them with pink eyes and screeched loudly as a pair of two large bat wings popped out of her back. Lucine opened up her large bat wings as well and flew away into the double doors along with Camilla following her behind.
"Camilla!" Ezra shouted.
Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Zack, Yami, Rezso, Erika, Clarisa, and Claudine followed after Lucine and Camilla into the castle that led them inside the main room. Claudine quickly spotted a secret door behind the throne chair and sped her way to open it.
"They must be downstairs in the crypt." Claudine spoke.
"Let's go. We have to catch up to them." Ariana said.
The heroes and the mage werewolf sisters sprinted forward into the long spiral stairs until they reached to the end that led them into a large room lit up by candles. They then found themselves confronted by Saskia, who was levitating in the center of the room.
"Hello, everyone. So glad you all could join us." Saskia said with a smile as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Give it up, Saskia! You're finished!" Dashiell demanded.
"Not by a long shot, Dashiell." Saskia snapped. "I'm one step closer on finishing my plan with the help of my allies!"
When Saskia snapped her fingers, Ommin, Lucine, and Camilla appeared on either side of the time-traveling mage mutant.
"Well, Dastren had a child of his own." Ommin said with a wicked smile as he sensed Ezra's magic. "Tell me nephew of my half brother, how have you been?"
"Half brother?!" Ezra repeated with a gasp. "But you're so old."
"Yes." Ommin nodded. "I was only 35 years old when your father was born. When he was older, he left me behind to care about those slaves' saftey than me. Maybe I could return the favor by killing his son."
Nefera suddenly appeared above Saskia and released a large ball of sand from between her hands to attack the heroes. Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Zack, Yami, Rezso, and Clarisa fell down deep below the room while Dashiell protected himself, Claudine, and Erika with an indigo force field.
Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Zack, Yami, Rezso, and Clarisa got up on their feet as they found themselves inside an underground room that has a makeshift floor in the form of thick, bright pink strands with skulls laced into them filled with black coffins lined in rows. They turned around to see Camilla and Lucine standing few feet away from them.
"You can suck whatever blood you want!" Camilla said. "I want to suck Talia's blood along with the mystic werewolves!"
"No way! Never gonna happen!" Talia declared.
"We're not giving you our blood!" Clarisa shouted. "No way, no how!"
"Wait a minute." Lucine said. She noticed that Yami has bite marks on her neck. "You were bitten into a mage vampire! But how come you aren't under my control?"
"Because these cuffs help me control this form." Yami answered. "I might not have your supernatural magic, but I will use this form to take you down."
"Then gaze into the face of your demise!" Lucine shouted.
As Lucine sprinted forward towards the heroes, Kirana lifted her arms above her head to form a large ball of blue magical energy and send it towards Lucine. But the mage vampire avoided the attack and tackled the blue mage kunoichi to the ground. Ariana ran forward to strike with her magical energy, but Lucine fired a drilling beam of darkness as a whip to attack Ariana. Talia formed an orb of orange magical energy with electric sparks around it in between her hands, but Camilla stood right of her younger sister with supernatural speed.
"Join us, Talia." Camilla said with a dark smile.
"No! Get away!" Talia screamed as she moved away from Camilla.
Ezra grabbed Camilla with a teal energized rope to stop her, but Camilla waved her hand forward to blast a whiff of red psychic energy to knock the teal mage down and for the red mage vampire kunoichi to free herself. Yami radiated many streams of psionic electrical energy around herself to attack Camilla. Ezra, Ariana, and Kirana got up from the ground as thin fog came out of nowhere. Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra turned around to see Lucine, who created multiple lances made of ice that pushed them into the wall. Lucine giggled evilly as she began accelerating towards the mage kunoichis and mage ninja in high speed just when Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra got up back on their feet.
"Ariana, it's fusion time." Kirana said to Ariana.
"Let's do it." Ariana said with a nod.
"Yeah!" Ezra cheered. "Fusion. Fusion. Fusion."
Kirana and Ariana joined hands together as their great power began surging through their bodies, carrying them into the air with a ring of colorful energy circling around them. They closed their eyes for a moment, concentrating on their abilities together. Bright blue-violet light began shining around the girls' bodies and the light expanded itself to surround the girls, transforming them into the fusion entity. The mage fusion has a curvaceous body with an extremely slender figure. She has short black hair with blue and purple highlights. She has right sapphire blue eye and left brownish red eye. She wore a dark blue-violet collared trench coat over a blue-violet corset-like jumpsuit that covers her whole body, long black fingerless gloves that covered her forearms, and black combat boots.
"What are you supposed to be?" Lucine asked with a hiss.
"You can call me Violet!" The fusion entity spoke with narrow eyes. "And I'll show you how I deal with monsters!"
Violet slowly created a large glowing blue-violet ball of light in between her hand and fired it at Lucine, burning the mage vampire in the process. Violet then saw Lucine's half burned body was regenerating from the attack. Lucine backed away from Violet with a hiss while the mage fusion zoomed after her.
"Now, you will become on one of us!" Camilla declared as she smacked Yami away and began moving towards Talia.
"I didn't want to do this, but you have me no choice." Talia said.
Talia formed an orb of orange magical energy with electric sparks around it in between her hands and fired it at Camilla, causing the red mage kunoichi to scream in pain. Talia then helped Yami on her feet and moved away from Camilla.
Rezso slashes the air in front of him and launched five teal energy beams at Nefera while Clarisa slashed her yellow energized claws and created a torrent of yellow energy to engulf the mage mummy queen. But Nefera jumped into mid-air to avoid the attack and enveloped herself in a whirl of sand to rain bullets of sand down at the mage werewolf siblings.
Then suddenly, Rezso got lifted up in the air by a pair of chains made of solid sand around his wrists.
"Rezso!" Clarisa cried.
Clarisa began sprinting up to her older brother, but Nefera fired a beam of sand that hit the female mage werewolf away to the wall.
"Clarisa! No!" Rezso hollered.
"Now, for the fun part." Nefera said with a dark grin.
Nefera lifted her wrappings in the air and directed them to pull the headphone off of Rezso's ears before dropping him to the ground. Rezso growled as he was unable to control his form that was turning him into his uncontrollable state.
"Rezso!" Clarisa called out.
Rezso suddenly jumped down in front of Violet and smacked her away with his claw, causing the mage fusion to turn into a mass of light and split back into Kirana and Ariana. Ezra ran over to his sisters and used his healing magic to recover them. Two mage kunoichis looked back in fear as Rezso landed on the ground and walked close to them.
Lucky for Kirana and Ariana, Zack released a pulse of demonic magic to engulf Rezso and hurled him to the coffins.
"You three okay?" Zack asked.
Kirana, Ariana, and Ezra nodded their heads as their response.
Rezso joined Lucine, Nefera, Camilla, and Saskia out of the underground area as they stood around Saskia.
"I got what I came for. Let go, my monsters!" Saskia said.
Saskia surrounded herself and her monster army in a time bubble as Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Clarisa, Zack, and Yami came climbing up out from the underground. Ezra ran to Camilla, but Ommin force pushed him back before he went in the portal. But Saskia and her crew already gone from the secret room.
"She took Camilla!" Ezra exclaimed.
"And our brother." Clarisa murmured.
"We gotta follow then." Kirana said to Dashiell.
Dashiell nodded his head and conjured up a time portal in front of him from his Temporal Staff.
"Don't worry, we'll save Rezso." Talia said.
"Yeah, no matter what." Ariana agreed.
Ezra, Talia, and Ariana jumped through the time portal.
"Thank you, mage warriors." Claudine said. "Please hurry."
"Bring our brother back." Erika pleaded.
Kirana nodded her head and jumped through the time portal as Dashiell, Yami, and Zack followed after her through the portal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, the time portal opened itself and the heroes fell hard on the ground. But only this time, they arrived on a cliff near the forest with the same full moon in the sky.
"Okay Dashiell, where are we now?" Kirana asked.
"Germany in the year 1818." Dashiell replied.
"Uh, guys?" Zack spoke. "Is that what I think it is?"
Kirana, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Dashiell, and Yami looked at Zack pointing his finger right in front of him that made them follow what he's pointing to see a large castle above the water with wide eyes just as thunder was striking above the place.
"Yup. Antonia's castle." Dashiell said.
