The time portal opened itself and the heroes fell on their feet on the rooftop ground back in the city. Kirana and Zack jumped onto the rooftop edge.
"Talia, make sure Camilla's chain is still secure." Kirana ordered.
Talia checked over Camilla and started pulling the chains that was annoying her vampiric sister.
"The chain's good." Talia said.
"Wait a minute! It's that...us?" Ezra called out.
Everyone looked over behind Ezra to see their past selves jumping on the rooftops. But they got slammed together when Saskia trapped them in a time bubble around them. Past Dashiell then raised his Temporal Staff to summon a time portal for the heroes to escape from Saskia.
"That journey through time to stop Saskia didn't went too well." Dashiell said. "Because she's changing everything by the second."
"Look, there are more monsters now than when we left!" Kirana said as she pointed her finger to the streets.
Everyone looked down over the rooftop edge to see mage vampires and mage werewolves everywhere around the foggy city.
"Oh snap! That's a lot of monsters! How we gonna beat em all?!" Talia exclaimed.
"You guys can't win!" Camilla shouted with an evil grin. "This world belongs to monsters now. Soon, you all will be extinct."
Zack then shoved a piece of garlic in Camilla's mouth.
"Oh, shut up already." Zack said.
"Let's head back to the fortress." Kirana said to the team. "That way we can come up with a plan."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Saskia and her monster crew watched the chaos inside the state-of-the-art castle from the large window.
"Thanks to my marvelous plan, New York City and everyone in the future will be monsters." Saskia explained. "Especially those time masters who mutated me as punishment!"
Ommin looked over to see Lucine was pretty annoyed with Saskia's idea.
"Are you not enjoyed by this plan, Lucine?" Ommin asked.
"Such a petty vengeance she's got there." Lucine said as she rolled her eyes. "It's always easy conquering the mortals."
"Ezra's team will not give up." Ommin stated. "Perhaps if we capture him, we could turn him into our most powerful weapon in the army."
"But Dashiell and his wretched allies will still have a plan to defeat us!" Saskia pointed out. "We still don't know the secret location of the fortress!"
"Well, lucky for you, I managed to view the eyes of every mage vampire who were bitten by me." Lucine said with a dark grin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Crete Fortress, Zack and Yami tied another garlic necklace on Camilla's neck as Talia was holding the chains to prevent her older sister from escaping.
"Isn't there any way to fix all of this with your staff, Dashiell?" Kirana asked Dashiell.
"Besides going back in time for a do-over, then no." Dashiell explained. "Without Camilla, we won't stand a chance."
"He's right. We have to stop this in the here and now." Ariana said as she came inside the lab with a box in her hands.
She then hooked up the mage neurotransmitter to the Temporal Staff.
"How is a mage neurotransmitter gonna help us?" Ezra asked.
"If I can focus the waveform, I can sync enough energy that should put the staff at 100 percent energy power." Ariana explained.
Ariana put on her high-tech goggles and pressed a button that caused the electricity to surge from the circular tiara. The flash of the glowing Temporal Staff woke Camilla from her sleep.
Camilla narrowed her glowing pink eyes and secretly created three red balls of magical energy appearing above Talia, Yami, and Zack. When Camilla formed a dark smile, the magical energy balls went flying across the lab. Every single magical energy ball only hit Talia, Zack, and Yami.
Camilla then kicked Donna to the ground and Ezra grabbed the Temporal Staff in his hand before he started to run, but Camilla jumped in front of him.
"Hello, brother." Camilla said, as she grabbed Ezra's arm and pulled him towards her as a hostage.
"Camilla, no!" Ezra yelled. "Let me go!"
"Ezra!" Ariana cried in worry.
"The staff!" Kirana exclaimed.
Camilla covered Ezra's mouth with her hand and exited out of the lab.
Kirana, Dashiell, Ariana, Talia, Zack, and Yami ran out to chase Camilla into the living room where Nixie, Rezso, and Viktoria are standing on either side of Camilla.
"Resist all you want, but you all will become one of us." Nixie said with a dark smile.
Rezso slashed the air in front of him and launched five teal energy beams at Yami, who avoided the attack and radiated many streams of psionic electrical energy around herself to attack the mage werewolf. Dashiell fired a large sphere of steel blue energy from his hands at Nixie, but Viktoria knocked him away with her enhanced strength. Talia jumped in front of Viktoria to stop her from getting closer to Zack.
"Come on, Viktoria! Don't do this!" Talia pleaded.
"Viktoria must obey Lucine!" Viktoria yelled.
Viktoria created a lightning ball between her hands and launched it at Talia, who quickly jumped away from the attack. Kirana came in front of Talia and released rapid swing of blue magical energized blades that attacked Viktoria.
"Time for another tactical retreat!" Ariana called out.
Suddenly, Nixie appeared behind Ariana with supernatural speed.
"Not this time, Ariana!" Nixie said.
Nixie bit Ariana on the neck, causing the purple mage kunoichi to scream in pain.
"No!" Ezra exclaimed.
"Ariana!" Kirana yelled.
Ariana fired off several volleys of two purple magical energy balls at Nixie while trying to control herself from transforming into a mage vampire. She dropped her knees to the ground with a heavy groan. Rezso was about to step up over Ariana, but Yami kicked him away from the purple mage kunoichi.
"Guys, we're clearly outmatched!" Yami shouted.
"She's right!" Dashiell shouted. He created a massive tornado made of steel blue energy and sent it at Nixie, Rezso, and Nefera. "That should take care of them for now!"
"Girls, get out of here!" Ezra shouted. "Now!"
"We're not leaving you!" Kirana denied.
"Go!" Ezra snapped. "Hurry! You're our only hope!"
"Stay strong, Ezra!" Talia called out. "We'll save you! I promise!"
"Everyone, follow me!" Ariana called out weakly.
Zack, Yami, Kirana, Talia, and Dashiell followed Ariana back into her lab. Before Nixie, Rezso, and Nefera got up from the ground, Ariana quickly closed the doors shut.
"Quick, this way!" Ariana said.
Ariana led her sisters and her friends running to the back door behind the frozen Ultrafire. They ran down the steps and sprinted up to double doors. Kirana and Talia managed to open the doors for the others to run inside. Yami turned on the light switch to reveal a large ultra high-tech room. The entire room has high-tech computer screens on the walls that are controlled from the round desk with touchpad controls and shelves with different mechanical parts and extra stuff.
"Whoa, what is this place?" Zack asked in awe.
"In our secret room." Ariana answered. "Only in case of dire situations."
Everyone suddenly heard Rezso's howling nearby that made Dashiell and Talia barricade the doors with tight chains made of their magic.
"That should hold them off." Talia said. "But we gotta..."
"How would you possibly know that?" Kirana questioned.
"I managed to memorize all weaknesses of every mystical creatures years ago." Talia explained. "I got Rezso's weakness covered. But Lucine can only be weak by pure light and necromancer. And the only person who can do that necromancer magic is Zack."
"Excellent work, Talia." Dashiell said as he gave Talia a tight hug with an impressive smile on his face.
Suddenly, Ariana collapsed on her knees to the ground while screaming in pain as she placed her hand over her bite on her neck. Kirana, Dashiell, and Yami helped Ariana up on her feet.
"I...I can feel it, guys." Ariana said weakly.
"Just hold on, Ariana." Yami said.
"Talia, have you memorize anything about stopping a mage vampire transformation?" Kirana asked.
"That I'm not sure." Talia replied. "There was never a thing to stop a mage vampire from transforming."
Kirana, Dashiell, and Yami pinned the struggling Ariana down on the desk.
"We have to try and stop his transformation!" Dashiell exclaimed.
"But we also have to stop Saskia and Lucine from getting your staff back before the world ends as we know it!" Kirana reminded.
Ariana's eyes slowly turned glowing pink and then stopped struggling on the desk.
"Uh oh." Zack murmured. "Ariana?"
Ariana suddenly got up from the desk that made everyone back away with wide eyes in fear. She smiled darkly at her sisters and her friends with her fangs as she shot out large purple balls of magical energy at them. Kirana and Talia quickly created barriers of blue and orange magical energy that surrounded everyone to deflect Ariana's attack.
Then suddenly, everyone heard loud banging coming from the door.
"Oh snap!" Zack exclaimed. "They're here!"
"Talia, get us out of here!" Kirana ordered.
Talia generated a bright orange dome of magical energy around her team, causing them to blur up and the dome to disappear that left Ariana alone in the secret room just when Nixie, Rezso, and Nefera came into the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the way to the castle, Ezra was trying to break free from Camilla's grip but it was useless.
"Camilla, you have to listen to me!" Ezra pleaded, but his sister ignored him.
Ezra kept trying to break free, but Camilla narrowed her eyes at him.
"Do not." Camilla warned.
As they arrived at the castle, Camilla held the time staff in her hand while she held Ezra's arm in the other. Ezra squirmed around as he was trying to free himself.
"Enough!" Camilla threatened. "Or there will be more to you than a bite!"
That made Ezra stop and look worried. Camilla walked inside and Ezra followed her as he was being held hostage by his sister.
Back to the monsters, Lucine was gazing at the city from the window as Saskia levitated in the air next to her.
"How long is this going to take?" Saskia said impatiently as she crossed her arms over her chest. "We must send an army after our enemies!"
"That won't be necessary, Saskia." Lucine said with a smug look.
Lucine and Saskia turned around to see Camilla walking behind them with Ezra and the Temporal Staff in her hand.
"My mission was complete, mistress." Camilla grinned.
"Well done. Now, I will be unstoppable!" Saskia declared with a triumphant smile.
Saskia's eyes wide when she watched Camilla giving the staff to Lucine instead of her.
"WHAT?!" Saskia gasped in shock.
"You wanted the staff?" Ezra asked.
"Insolent Witch!" Ommin said with a glare.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Saskia demanded.
"Ha, do you really think I'm going to serve you, Saskia? With this staff, I will go back in time and infect all humankind with vampirism, so I will rule the undead world!" Lucine declared.
"Good luck with that, Lucine." Saskia said with a smirk. "You need me to make it work! That technology is too advanced compared to you. But thanks to your betrayal, I'll let Nefera handle you."
"With pleasure." Nefera said with a smile.
Nefera pointed her hands at the heroes and fired a large amount of sand in the form of a powerful sand tornado towards her with great blunt power that knocked the mage vampire to the ground. Lucine stood up on their feet as Nefera shot out her wrappings to ensnare the mage vampire and tossed her away. Lucine levitated herself above Nefera and started creating a light blue ball made of ice energy in front of her right palm to release a powerful light blue beam that froze Nefera in her position. Lucine then formed a massive sphere of dark magic in her hand above her head and released it at Nefera in the form of a large beam that exploded the mummy queen upon contact.
Saskia stared in shock when she saw golden yellow wraps lying everywhere on the floor.
"Now, show me how it works!" Lucine demanded. "Or you will suffer the same fate!"
Ezra quickly thought of an idea and closed his eyes to concentrate before he teleported himself out of Camilla's grip to escape the castle.
"The boy has escaped!" Camilla alerted.
"I'll deal with this." Ommin said. "This is family business."
Ommin then teleported himself out of the castle to find the teal mage ninja.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, the bright orange energy dome reappeared on the Channel Six building followed by the heroes.
"Okay, we should be okay for now." Kirana said.
Talia looked around and saw Ezra six feet away from the heroes.
"Ezra!" Talia called out.
"Behind you!" Ezra exclaimed.
Then suddenly, Ariana appeared behind her sisters and her friends with a smirk.
"Where the heck did she come from?!" Zack exclaimed.
"She must have a teleportation spell." Yami cried in shock.
"She's not the only one!"
Zack, Yami, Kirana, Dashiell, Ezra, and Talia looked up to Saskia and Lucine hovering above them. Nixie, Rezso, Viktoria, Camilla, and Ariana surrounded the heroes. Ommin appeared between Saskia and Lucine with an evil smile.
"With the Temporal Staff in our possession, we will all of time, space, and the whole ten dimensions!" Saskia declared. "And you will not be able to stop us!"
"Monsters, eliminate them!" Lucine ordered.
Viktoria's body slowly became surrounded by yellow sparks and fired a massive blast of electricity from her body at the heroes. Kirana, Talia, Ezra, Dashiell, Zack, and Yami moved out of the way to avoid the attack.
"It is time we end this rivalry, nephew." Ommin said to Ezra as he engulfed his hands in black magic.
Ezra stood up and glared at Ommin as he summoned both his shield and his father's sword.
"I agree." Ezra nodded. "Let's fight, warlock!"
Ezra and Ommin clashed towards each other as they began to fight. Ommin blew rapid punches towards the teal mage ninja, who blocked them with his shield and sweeped the dark warlock off his feet to make him fall off guard.
"Viktoria, please don't do it! You're better than this!" Talia pleaded. "Whatever they told you is a lie!"
"I will do my master's bidding." Viktoria spoke in a monotone tone.
"No, you won't! Your mother wants you to experience life with your real friends, not fakers!" Talia shouted.
"Destroy them, puppet!" Lucine demanded.
But unfortunately, Talia's pleading words caused Viktoria to snap out of the mind control.
"No, I will! Talia is my real friend!" Viktoria shouted.
Viktoria released yellow sparks and fired tons of bright yellow beams of electricity from her body all around to hit Camilla, Rezso, and Ariana.
"You will join us, Ezra!" Nixie said as she was about to charge to the teal mage ninja.
"Here's a thought, you stay back!" Ezra snapped as he used his magic to teleport Nixie to another rooftop, before he continued fighting Ommin.
"Enough of this petty battle. Let's use the Temporal Staff to rid of our enemies." Lucine said to Saskia.
"About darn time." Saskia retorted.
Saskia and Lucine held onto the Temporal Staff together that caught Talia's attention.
"I don't think so!" Talia yelled.
Talia pulled out her whips out from her birthmark and began latching them out at Lucine and Saskia in astonishing speed. Saskia and Lucine fell hard to the ground just when Talia grabbed the Temporal Staff with one whip and caught it in her hands.
"I got the staff!" Talia called out.
The crystalline lotus flower in the center of the staff started glowing and transported everyone into the time stream.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a flash, the time portal opened itself and the heroes fell on the ground in Medieval Times. Kirana and Yami began wrestling with Camilla while Ariana pinned Zack and Viktoria down with her magic.
"You've got Dastren's determination, which I absolutely despise!" Ommin commented before he blasted a black psychic energy wave to knock Ezra six feet away from him and bump next to Talia.
"Talia!" Kirana shouted.
"I'm on it!" Talia shouted.
Talia held the Temporal Staff up in her hands, causing the staff to transport everyone into the time stream again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a flash, the time portal opened itself and the heroes fell on the ground in Japan. Talia stood on the house roof while clutching the Temporal Staff in her hands. Ariana sprinted forward to reach Talia, but Kirana quickly fired a powerful blue magical energy beam from her right hand to keep the purple vampiric mage away from getting close to their youngest sister. Saskia began levitating straight to Talia, but Dashiell aimed several balls of steel blue energy at her. Lucine then fired several spheres of dark magic continuously from her hands to attack Dashiell.
"Actually, I've picked up my skills from a great mage!" Ezra snapped as he threw two energy balls from his hand at Ommin, who dodged them and created an energy ball to throw back at Ezra that made him dodge the energy ball.
Talia watched the battle from the roof and suddenly got a bright idea in her mind.
"Hey, guys, I know what to do!" Talia yelled.
Talia held the Temporal Staff up in her hands, causing the staff to transport everyone into the time stream again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a flash, the time portal opened itself and the heroes fell on the floating black metallic asteroid platform in a huge patch of outer space filled with orange stars and few large floating black metallic platform hovering everywhere.
"Uh no! Not the black void! Everywhere but here!" Saskia groaned.
"Fix the staff." Lucine said as she rolled her eyes and handed the Temporal Staff to Saskia. "I will take care of them myself."
"Not as long as I'm around!" Zack hollered. "Shinda tamashī, tasukete!"
At Zack's words, he charged green energy on her hands and summoned thousands of deceased mage souls to strike at Lucine. The mage vampire immediately created copies of herself made out of ice to attack the deceased mage souls, but Zack's demonic magic was powerful enough to destroy Lucine's icy clones.
Rezso came charging towards Zack with his glowing energized claws, but Talia unleashed a blast of powerful orange sound waves from her mouth at the mage werewolf that knocked out unconscious to the ground.
Out of nowhere, Camilla and Ariana surrounded Zack with angry hisses. Before they can attack him with their magic, Zack launched green magic orbs of spectral energy from each hand to push the vampire sides out of them. Zack then launched another green spectral orb to push the vampire side out of Yami.
Camilla, Ariana, and Yami fell unconscious to the ground while their vampire selves hissed dangerously at Zack. Saskia swiftly moved behind Talia and knocked her away to grab the Temporal Staff before standing next to Lucine. Vampire Camilla, Vampire Ariana, and Vampire Yami charged forward to attack Zack, but Kirana snared them in glowing blue energy tendrils that extended from her hands.
Talia got up on her feet and summoned a large globe of pure orange light that shot towards Lucine into several streams.
"No! No! Nooo!" Lucine shouted as she was struggling to escape from the streams.
When the streams made contact with the mage vampire, Lucine was engulfed by a larger orange globe of pure light that immediately destroyed her inside in a huge burst. Lucine's death has caused Rezso turning back into normal while Vampire Camilla, Vampire Ariana, and Vampire Yami began screaming as they started to vaporize out of nothingness.
Kirana, Talia, and Zack gasped in horror before turning their attention to Ezra and Ommin still fighting. Ommin kicked Ezra down, that made the teal mage ninja drop his weapons and sit up in exhaustion. Ommin summoned a small pistol in his hand and aimed it at Talia. Suddenly, Ommin got hit in the chest by a powerful blast of teal psychic energy from Ezra, who glared at the dark lord as he fell down to his death and the teal mage ninja got back up to limp over to his sisters and friends. They all turned their attention to Saskia.
"Oh well, she was annoying. But you're too late!" Saskia said darkly. "The Temporal Staff is now in my possession. Now I will rule all of time in my rule."
"I don't think so." Dashiell said with narrow eyes.
Dashiell charged forward to surround himself with a small steel blue whirlwind that slowly coalesced into a glowing steel blue ball of energy. He then spun around and fired it that blasted Saskia away. Dashiell caught the Temporal Staff in his hand and opened the time portal behind him. Zack picked up Yami in his arms and jumped through the time portal. Kirana helped Camilla and Talia helped Ariana as they jumped through the time portal followed by Viktoria and Rezso, who helped Ezra walk with them. Dashiell snatched the time jumper out of Saskia's waist belt.
"Enjoy your stay, Saskia!" Dashiell said with a smile.
With that, Dashiell disappeared through the time portal.
Saskia got up on her feet, but she was too late to react when several small masses of black hand-shaped substance started to grow and came together to restrain around her.
"NOOOOOOO!" Saskia screamed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in New York City, the time portal opened itself and the heroes landed roughly on each other while Dashiell floated down on the building rooftop ground safety along with Rezso and Viktoria. Norbit appeared with his armor on and fully functional while Nixie turned back to normal.
"Hey, guys! We're back! And we're not creepy vampires anymore!" Camilla shouted happily.
Kirana, Ariana, Camilla, Talia, Ezra, Zack, Yami, Norbit, and Nixie slowly got up on their feet just in time to notice the Turtles, April, Casey, Macey, Bruce, Frankenstein's Monster, Vulko, and Renet in front of them.
"Sup, y'all!" Talia greeted.
"What happened to you guys?" Mikey asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Long story." Ariana replied.
"Who's he?" April asked as she saw Dashiell.
"Everyone, this is Dashiell." Kirana said. "The greatest time mage of all time."
"Greetings, everyone." Dashiell greeted with a smile. He looked at Renet with a raised eyebrow. "Hey, Renet."
"Hey, Dashiell." Renet said with a nervous smile. She looked at the K-5, Zack, and Yami. "Ohh, so you're the legendary Lotus Mystics. I'm especially a huge fan of you, Talia. As well as the Phantom Mystic Zack and his Interpol wife Yami."
"Renet." Dashiell said with narrow eyes as he covered Renet's mouth with his hand.
"Oops." Renet said sheepishly with wide eyes.
Zack and Yami's eyes widened wide in surprise before looking at each other with blushing smiles.
"Did that actually happen?" Casey asked. "Were we, like, an army of awesome monsters?"
"It was no dream." Vulko spoke. "And now I am forever trapped in this forsaken age."
"Don't worry, Vulko. I'll return you to your time before you became a werewolf." Renet said.
"Oh, thank you." Vulko smiled happily as he held Renet's hand gratefully. "Thank you, great and powerful witch."
"I will also be happy to return you back to your sisters as well, Rezso." Dashiell said to Rezso.
"Thank you, Dashiell." Rezso said with a nod.
"But...what of Frank?" Frankenstein's Monster asked sadly.
"I would never forget you, Frank." Renet said as she walked up to Frankenstein's Monster. "You turned the tide of this battle. I'm gonna take you to the future where you'll be appreciated by everyone."
Frankenstein smiled at Renet for his new fate.
"You can also have a new life in the future as well, Viktoria." Dashiell said as he walked up to Viktoria.
Viktoria smiled and ran forward to hug Dashiell.
Renet and Dashiell held their time staffs to open up the time portal before turning back to the heroes.
"We can't thank you turtles and mages enough." Renet said gratefully. "You were all groovy to the max, awesome!"
"We'll meet again someday in the far future." Dashiell added.
Then, Dashiell and Renet walked through the time portal followed by Frankenstein's Monster, Viktoria, Vulko, and Rezso.
"Keep hoping, guys." Vee said to Mikey and Talia. "We'll see them again someday."
"Yeah, in the future." Ezra added.
Leo pressed a jack-o-lantern to Mikey's face in his hand.
"How about some trick-or-treating, team?" Leo asked with a smile. "Tonight is the night."
"Oh, speaking of trick-or-treating, I think we could wear our cool clothes for the fun of it." Kirana said with a grin. "But we will wear my state-of-the-art costumes next year. I will return Zack and Yami's costumes as well."
Kirana waved her hand back and brought it forward to point her magic at Yami and Zack, returning their clothes back to their own costumes.
"Now, let's get this Halloween started." Talia grinned.
"Halloween-akasha!" Mikey cheered.
With that, everyone sprinted off the rooftop for trick-or-treating.
