== Plot: ==
The film begins with a flashback to the time when Eurekas/Magus was still working for Queen Bakrakra/Katheter. He is seen creating Gallopus/Peg and Spotty, but he is soon banished from the Yuks/Kruds for his refusal to create weapons of mass destruction. He then goes on to live in the Flower City, where he creates a new life with Aelia's/Alex's mother and raises Fulgor/Flynn as his own son.
Years later, the Yuks/Kruds have been defeated by Fulgor/Flynn and his friends. However, Queen Bakrakra's/Katheter's son Acylius has fallen in love with Aelia and is determined to win her heart. He is banished from the Yuks/Kruds for his refusal to destroy Flower City, and he goes on to live in the Flower City as well.
Meanwhile, the Yuks/Kruds have been working on a new weapon called the "Black Prism", which is capable of absorbing all color and light. The Joyces/Verigreens are unaware of this until Spotty accidentally discovers it. The Yuks/Kruds then launch an attack on Flower City, and the Joyces/Verigreens are forced to retreat into their underground bunker.
The Yuks/Kruds then use the Black Prism to absorb all color and light from Flower City, turning it into a dark wasteland. The Joyces/Verigreens are forced to live in their bunker for months until they finally decide to launch a counterattack.
Fulgor/Flynn and his friends manage to destroy the Black Prism, but they are soon captured by Queen Bakrakra/Katheter. She then reveals that she has been holding Eurekas captive for years, and forces him to create a new weapon for her.
Eurekas/Magus then creates a new weapon called the "White Prism", which is capable of absorbing all darkness and light. He uses it to destroy Queen Bakrakra's/Katheter's castle, but he is killed in the process.
Fulgor/Flynn and his friends then return to Flower City, where they use the White Prism to restore all color and light. Aelia/Alex is reunited with her father, while Fulgor/Flynn is reunited with his adoptive father.
