"*There's no time, I've come to tell you your world will fall when all of magic returns to him.*"
―Giovanni Zatara
Wandering around town, Zatanna revisits the old magic stage she used to perform on, reminiscing how packed it used to be. She gets on stage and simulates an audience, and performs as she would years ago. While doing this, Zatanna sees an apparition of her father, whom she did not conjure, in the audience. Zatanna is then warned by her father about how the original owners of magic is coming and how she needs to stop them, as she is confused, she looks up to see a horrifying figure on the ceiling.

"*Bring her to me.*"
―Hecate
Sometime in the past, a young Diana walks around the jungles of Themyscira at night when she comes across a coven of Amazon witches summoning the Old God Hecate. Before she could react, Hecate calls upon the witches to bring Diana to her, and the witches chases the young Diana until she was captured, pinned to the ground, Hecate touches Diana's forehead with her nail, Diana screams and wakes up from her nightmare. Staring outside, she sees that Swamp Thing has called upon her.

"*The shitshow that happened sometime ago, has given something a way in, something ancient and powerful beyond understanding. It has targeted us for reasons unknown. But it is looking for something. Someone. We spent our lives alone, in the dark, but the dark will soon devour us. For once, we must act together. If we fail, all of magic will die and the world will reset.*"
―Jason Blood
A gathering of magic users are held in Jason Blood's mansion, with John Constantine being one of them, as he drinks at the bar, Detective Chimp greets him and talks about stuff. Soon later Blood announces about an incoming threat that would destroy all of magic. Blood takes the mages to his underground facility, where Dr. *TBD* has examined dead bodies of Regime soldiers that died of unusual circumstances. As they examine the bodies, they suddenly come to life and attacks the mages.

Zatanna visits Swamp Thing, who was with Wonder Woman, they talk about the incoming doom of all magic, Swamp Thing felt an anomaly brewing in Themyscira, hence why he summoned Wonder Woman. The three exchange words and agree on consulting John Constantine about this. While sensing John's whereabouts, Swamp Thing is alerted by the event on the Blood mansion, they quickly run to the scene.

In the mansion, the mages use their magic abilities to no avail as it seems the corpses only get stronger, strong enough to kill most of the mages. Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and Wonder Woman arrive, with Zatanna telling them not to use magic as they will only enhance the corpses. They then fight the corpses using melee weapons until they're all defeated. The team then decides to go to Doctor Fate to help.

"*Hope you're ready to stop another apocalypse before retirement, mate."
"Me too.*"
―John Constantine and Swamp Thing
They go to the Tower of Fate, where Nabu is under control. Swamp Thing and John decides to stay out while Zatanna, Wonder Woman, Blood, Chimp, and Deadman goes inside. Inside, Zatanna and Wonder Woman looks for Khalid but instead meets Nabu, who tells them that Khalid is elsewhere, meanwhile Blood, Chimp, and Deadman splits to another room breaks a vas, which turned out to be Khalid, he tells them abou how Nabu has betrayed them before being turned into a vas again. In the other room, Zatanna discovers Nabu's betrayal due to them letting magic die, he then summons the Upside-Down Man and flees.

"*Such a mundane world, frankly I don't blame your ancestors for wanting to inject some excitement into it*"
―Upside-Down Man
The Upside-Down Man talks to the heroes, about how magic was stolen from them by mortals, as magic was originally never meant to exist in this world, and he's taking it back. A fight began as Upside-Down Man easily defeats every member of the team (turning Chimp into a puddle, and decaying Swamp Thing with a touch), causing Zatanna to revive them. John Constantine attempts to summon a demon, but failed as Upside-Down Man incapacitates him and kills him. Wonder Woman attacks him, but is quickly incapacitated as well, as Upside-Down Man was getting ready to kill her, he realized the mark of Hecate on her forehead.
