The time portal opened itself as Saskia and her monster army arrived in the cemetery of the year 1818. Nefera sat on the tombstone, Rezso stood next to Nefera with a silent growl, Lucine levitated herself above the graves, Ommin stood next to Saskia, and Camilla stood next to Lucine with a hiss.
"Uh, demon, why did you bring us here?" Lucine asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Because our last mission will require the location to a very brilliant mage." Saskia answered.
"And who would that be?" Lucine questioned.
"Her electrifying experiment." Saskia replied with an evil smile.
"Mistress, please." Camilla spoke. "I want to drink some real blood tonight. I need sustenance to sink my teeth into."
"Patience, Camilla. You will feast for blood when the time is right." Lucine said calmly.
Suddenly, Saskia's forearm gauntlet started beeping that caught the monsters' attention.
"Is that anything we should be concerned about?" Ommin asked, suspiciously.
"Speaking of time." Saskia said. She looked down to see the heroes walking together in the woods. "Looks like Dashiell and those annoying mages are following us again."
"They won't give up, Saskia. Let me destroy them." Camilla said. She looked at Lucine with a dark smile. "With my magic and Nefera's magic, we'll annihilate them for good."
"Very well then." Lucine agreed. "Make them suffer."
"Let me come along, only to kill Dastren's child." Ommin added.
"I'll intend to." Camilla grinned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, the heroes walked forward into the forest on their way to Antonia's castle.
"Uh, guys, how can we be so sure if this Antonia is not another insane villain?" Talia questioned.
"Antonia is the mage of science." Ariana pointed out. "She uses her electricity magic with her vast knowledge of science. We need her if we gonna save Camilla and turn her back to normal."
"Come on team, let's get to Antonia's castle and stop Saskia." Kirana ordered.
As everyone continued to walk through the forest, Kirana sensed three dark auras coming from the team's surroundings and created three blue rings of magical energy above her hand. In quick seconds, she shot the blue magical energized rings to hit the large tree. But Nefera, Ommin, Camilla, and Rezso jumped down to the ground before the rings could attack them.
"OMG, it's them!" Talia exclaimed.
Nefera enveloped herself in a whirl of sand to rain bullets of sand down at the heroes while Rezso slashed the air in front of him and launched five teal energy beams at them. Talia and Ariana summoned orange and purple force field made of magical energy to protect everyone from the attacks as Zack released a pulse of demonic magic to engulf Rezso and hurled him to the tree while Yami radiated many streams of psionic electrical energy around herself to attack Nefera. Ezra fired many energy balls to attack Ommin while Kirana created ten blue rings of magical energy above her hand and shot them to attack Camilla.
"You all fools!" Camilla said as she got up on her feet. "Don't you understand? Let me drain a little blood! We'll both get something out of it. We all will become full vampires, so we could rule together!"
"This isn't not you, Camilla!" Kirana argued.
"She's right! You have to fight it!" Dashiell agreed.
"We wanna help you, Cam." Ezra said, gently. "Trust us."
Camilla stared at her siblings and her allies with a solemn look.
"If you won't join me, then your blood will be mine for the taking!" Camilla said with a smile.
"No, Cam!" Ezra shouted.
Camilla began lunging towards Talia, but she got blinded with a painful hiss when the sun came up in the sky. She hissed loudly as she collapsed on the ground in pain. Ommin jumped up to attack the heroes, until Ezra launched himself up to deliver a powerful roundhouse kick to knock the dark warlock away. The time portal suddenly opened up behind the tree that caught everyone's attention. Nefera, Ommin, Camilla, and Rezso began running towards the portal. But Kirana waved her hand back and brought it forward to point her magic to restrain Camilla with magical chains that prevented her sister from entering through the portal just when the portal disappeared.
"No! Release me!" Camilla hollered as she was trying to break free from the chains. "Let me go or I'll suck your blood dry!"
"Don't worry. I got this." Zack said. "I hate to do this, pal, but she left me no other choice."
Zack turned intangible and phased into Camilla, causing her eyes to glow bright green.
"What the heck?!" Talia and Dashiell exclaimed.
"Oh, I forgot. I can control of a human body and their actions, words, and sometimes even thoughts." Zack explained. "But when I leave Camilla's body, she loses all memory of what she was doing during my control."
"Very clever, Zack." Dashiell said with a smile.
"That fight with the other monsters could've gone better." Ezra said.
"Come on, we can still make it to Antonia's castle before dark." Kirana said. "We'll find a way to turn Camilla back. And the others back home."
"And find out more about my half uncle." Ezra added.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the castle, Antonia was reviewing her work on the chalkboard inside the lab filled with heavy machinery.
"Come on, Antonia, think!" Antonia said to herself as she stared at the drawings of body parts and formulas. "I know I'm so close! I can feel it! But what am I missing?"
Antonia looked at the window to see thunder crashing in the sky.
"If the winds will produce the most powerful thunderstorm Germany has ever known, then I must finish the rejuvenation formula by tomorrow's eve." Antonia declared. "With the power of lightning, I will give my creation the spark of life!"
Antonia looked back at the cardboard with a heavy sigh.
"If I can fix the rejuvenation formula." Antonia said.
Then suddenly, Antonia noticed something's missing with the formulas.
"Wait a minute." Antonia gasped.
Antonia walked up to the cardboard with a chalk in her hand and started jolting on the board. When she was finished, her eyes lit up in amazement as she finally solved the formula.
"Yes! Now, it all makes sense now!" Antonia exclaimed with a happy smile.
Antonia suddenly heard knocking at the doors and walked down to open the door that revealed Dashiell, Kirana, Yami, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, and the possessed Camilla outside.
"Greetings, Ms. Antonia." Dashiell greeted with a friendly smile. "We, uh, need to see you right away. We're mages with great interest of your work."
"Well then, do come in." Antonia said with a smile. "I'm busy, but always welcome nice visitors."
Antonia led the heroes inside the castle and escorted them to her lab as Dashiell, Kirana, Yami, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, and the possessed Camilla looked around the place in awe.
"Welcome to my laboratory!" Antonia announced.
"Antonia, we've heard you're planning to bring the dead back to life." Ariana explained.
"How do you know about that?" Antonia asked.
"Well, you were Dr. Frankenstein's protégé, right?" Kirana questioned.
"Oh, he must have told you." Antonia said with a chuckle. "His work inspire me, so I've decided to make one of my own. But not to steal his work, of course."
"Antonia, it would be an honor to help you on this reanimation project." Ariana said.
"I'll be delighted for your help." Antonia said with a smile.
Ariana and Antonia looked under the cover of the lab table before smiling at each other. They began adding few parts to Antonia's creation just when the Sun disappeared below the horizon.
"Ariana, I'm quite impressed with your knowledge." Antonia grinned.
"It was my pleasure, Antonia." Ariana grinned back. "Time to hoist her up!"
Kirana turned the crank and Talia pushed the other crank to lift Antonia's creation up to the ceiling. Dashiell and Yami opened up the hatch from the ceiling that caused the roof panels to open for the experiment to be lifted up into the thunderous sky. Antonia focused on her magic to direct the lightning at two poles that are connected to Antonia's creation.
"Yes! Make my creation come to life!" Antonia declared in amazement.
Everyone watched smoke appearing from the cloth and the experiment was brought back down to the lab. Dashiell pulled the cloth off and everyone looked at Antonia's creation in shock. Antonia stepped forward to watch her creation come to life in front of her. She has a fairly petite and slender figure. She has pale gray skin, long white hair tied up in two high pigtails that stick straight up, and clear blue eyes. She wore a grey and black plaid dress with a white collar and puff sleeves. She also has stitches on her neck, arms, and legs.
"Mommy?" The little girl spoke.
"Yes! I'm your mommy!" Antonia said with a smile. "Your name is Viktoria."
"Viktoria?" The little girl repeated.
"Oh, she's so cute!" Kirana, Ariana, and Yami gushed with smiles.
"Hi, I'm Talia." Talia said slowly.
"Talia?" Viktoria repeated slowly. She then let out a giggle. "Nice to meet you, Talia."
Then suddenly, everyone heard clapping and turned around to see Saskia, Ommin, Lucine, Nefera, and Rezso.
"Well, I must thank you for helping the doctor with her work." Saskia said with a dark smile. "Now, I just have to recruit her creation to my army!"
"Camilla, attack them." Lucine ordered as she stared at the overshadowed Camilla.
"Sorry, but she's under my control." Zack spoke from Camilla's body. "So, you can't make her do anything."
"But how is that even impossible?" Lucine asked in shock. "The only monster that is capable of doing that is..."
Saskia, Ommin, Lucine, and Nefera's eyes widened wide as they stared at an overshadowed Camilla in extreme shock.
"The mage phantom." Lucine, Nefera, Ommin, and Saskia exclaimed in fear.
"The what?" Yami asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The mage phantom. Every mage monster are afraid of the mage phantom." Ariana explained. "Legends said deceased mages who returned back as ghosts with their own magic are extremely dangerous and can't be killed. Many people and mages believed they don't exist throughout history."
"Not even mage vampires can bite the mage phantom because of their ectoplasm." Lucine added.
"So, that's why Zack wasn't bitten earlier." Talia pointed out.
"But that doesn't matter now." Zack said. "We have to stop from getting Viktoria."
"Viktoria, destroy the monsters!" Antonia yelled as she pointed her finger at Saskia, Lucine, Ommin, Nefera, and Rezso.
Viktoria released light yellow sparks from her body and fired tons of light yellow beams at Saskia, Ommin, Lucine, Nefera, and Rezso. Saskia formed a sea green bubble to protect herself and her monster army from the attack.
"Attack us on you want, but I will that monster under my command!" Saskia shouted.
"You will not take my creation!" Antonia declared.
Viktoria started running forward towards the monsters and formed a powerful orb of yellow electricity with dark yellow electric sparks to fire it at Nefera and Rezso while Antonia created an orb of yellow electricity in front of her hands and fired a beam of yellow electricity from the orb at Saskia and Lucine. Nefera got caught in flames when the electric orb hit her, causing the mummy queen to scream in pain. Rezso got up on his feet and started running towards Yami, who channeled her magnetic energies into the ground and released a series of violet powerful energy columns that knocked the mage werewolf away from her with great force.
Lucine opened her large bat wings out and took off high in the air as she summoned one black energized hand from her left palm to grab an overshadowed Camilla tightly and summoned another black energized hand from her right palm to zoom through Camilla's body that separated Zack out of the vampiric mage. Zack groaned slightly as he saw Camilla stretching herself in the air.
"Where…where am I?" Camilla said with a groan. She looked around the lab with a raised eyebrow until she saw Zack lying on the ground. "I don't know how I got here, but you're going pay for it!"
"Wait, Camilla. Take care of the others, that mage phantom is mine." Lucine said as she stood next to Camilla.
"As you wish, Lucine." Camilla said with a bow.
Saskia hovered above Dashiell with sea green energy engulfed in her hands.
"Give me the Temporal Staff, Dashiell! That way my monster invasion will so much easier!" Saskia demanded.
"Too bad, Saskia!" Dashiell snapped. "Because you and I both know that's never gonna happen!"
Saskia dove down to attack Dashiell with a barrage of sea green energized punches, but Dashiell avoided the attack with remarkable speed and swung his Temporal Staff to hit Saskia's face that knocked her to the ground before flying away in the air.
"You cannot escape me, Dashiell!" Saskia shouted angrily.
Kirana kept firing glowing blue balls of magical energy to hit Lucine, who dodged them with supernatural speed.
"You need to work more on your enhance abilities, Kirana." Lucine said.
Lucine gathered a black sphere of dark magic in her hands and extended her arms forward to release black energized fists at Kirana, who moved out of the way in quick speed. But one black energized fist managed to knock Kirana onto the stairs. Yami came sprinting towards Lucine with her psychic element powers, but Lucine charged a large sphere of dark energy between her hands and fired it in form of a beam that hit Yami to the wall.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Zack hollered in rage.
Lucine turned around to stare at Zack until she saw him transforming with fearful eyes.
A powerful dark blue aura emitting around Zack that was transforming into someone murderous with his mad cackling and evil grin. He now has pitch black body with his dark grey skin and his glowing yellow eyes with no pupils and irises.
"Oh my gosh!" Lucine gasped in shock. "I can definitely detect rage going out of control within you. You even have gained the intention to kill anyone coming from your core."
"What's the matter? It's not making you satisfy?" Zack teased with a mad cackle.
"Oh, your sudden transformation absolutely have made me feel quite satisfied. Thank you." Lucine said with a dark smile. She leaned close into Zack's face. "It makes so dangerous yet so handsome. I love how you get all worked up. Together, we can rule the world as king and queen."
"Never gonna happen, bat girl." Zack said with a glare as he leaned right back to Lucine's face. "Yami is the only queen to rule at my side."
Zack warmed up a powerful black bolt of ectoplasm energy and attacked Lucine that sent her tumbling away from him.
"Then again, we may get to tangle after all." Zack said with a demonic grin.
Lucine floated herself back up in the air and began unloading a machine-gun barrage of dark energy spheres from her hands. Zack dashed through the spheres within seconds while not even being visible with light-speed movements and then began unleashing a series of rapid black ectoplasm energized punches to attack Lucine with swift strikes. Lucine went flying to the wall and then fell hard to the ground. She looked back to see Zack looming over her with a dangerous stare.
"Zack, don't!" Yami yelled.
Lucine turned to look Yami standing next to him with a pleading look in her face.
"Please. Control your rage. You better than this." Yami said softly.
Zack took a deep breath and powered down to his normal self as he looked back at Yami with a soft smile.
Ezra summoned his shield as Ommin walked over to face him with his hands engulfed in black psychic energy.
"I believe there is unfinished business fighting to attend with you." Ommin said.
"Can't we just talk this out?" Ezra asked. "Or does everyone in our family always turn against me?"
"That's what makes this family fun." Ommin joked.
Ommin charged with rapid punches to the teal mage ninja, who blocked the blows with his shield and tossed him back to the wall. Ezra ran up to deliver rapid waves of psychic energy at the dark warlock, who was able to dodge them all before the two family members started a hand to hand combat fight.
Ariana started flying up high in the air as Camilla jumped up high in the air to catch up with her younger sister in remarkable speed and then tackled Ariana to the wall. But Talia quickly summoned six long orange spikes of magical energy that pierced Camilla from all sides to the wall unconsciously.
Lucine recovered her strength and created a sphere of dark magic in her hand to shoot it at Viktoria that released several tentacles to wrap around her body and restrained her movement.
"You will come with me." Lucine said. "For your conquest!"
Lucine flew out of the lab along with Viktoria in her grasp.
"Viktoria! No!" Antonia shouted.
Saskia raised her glowing energized arms in the air and began firing a massive beam of sea green energy to devastate the lab by damaging all of Antonia's equipment and research before flying out to pick up Ommin and went of the lab. Rezso picked up Nefera in his arms and followed after Saskia.
Dashiell created a dark indigo shield around Antonia, Yami, Zack, Kirana, Ariana, Ezra, Talia, and Camilla as he lifted everyone up in the air to get out of the destroyed lab safely with his Temporal Staff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Dashiell floated the shield down to the ground, everyone landed on the grass safely.
"Is everyone alright?" Dashiell asked.
"We're good." Kirana replied with a thumbs-up.
"Yeah, except the lab got trashed." Ariana said with a sigh.
"At least, Camilla's back with us." Talia said as she waved her hand back and forth with a grabbing shape and pointed her magic at her hand to wrap around Camilla's body tightly.
"Heh, good luck trying to stop my master." Camilla hissed as she was struggling to get out of the chains. "She's already recruited your precious Viktoria as we speak! You have lost!"
Yami threw garlic around Camilla's neck, causing the red mage vampire to fall asleep.
"My...My creation. Gone!" Antonia said sadly as she was staring at the damage of her castle home.
"Don't worry, Antonia. She's still out there along with all the other monsters. But we've got one last shot at stopping Saskia and Lucine." Dashiell said with a determined face.
"And we'll find something to defeat Ommin." Ezra added.
"Let's roll, everyone. We're going back to the future." Kirana ordered.
Dashiell conjured up a time portal in front of him from his Temporal Staff. He, Kirana, Ariana, Ezra, Talia, Camilla, Yami, and Zack jumped through the portal back to New York.
