### Episode Summary

The Red Bandit approaches the team, inviting them to have a talk. Zippy tells him to leave as Norman asks about the floating stuff snow like dust all around them. Dariun warns them both not to breath it in and cover their mouths, they both cover up. The Red Bandit tells them this is a convergence of all the major players as he walks to the large doors looking out to Jadu. Dariun walks next to him and sees the woods and hears cries and screams on the islands. They see robin standing outside looking up as a large black dragon flies over the top with purple flames coming from its mouth. Dariun asks who this is and The Red Bandit says it is Karen. Norman asks who Karen is and Dariun explains that he is a beast if creation who somewhat created the blue flowers curses came from. During the conference, they lost him and Peterson but Karen did not like Lou at that stage.

Dariun turns back to The Red Bandit, asking about these major players. The Red Bandit explains there are six. Six people he cannot see. Six that defy all prophecies and they are the most interesting to watch; Karen, Lou, Dariun, Norman and Zippy. He then points to Robin, the sixth. Norman stands in between robin and the bandit. Dariun says that the bandit is more of an observer and not a threat. Norman calls to Robin, telling her to come to where it's safe. She says she can't and also feels that she needs to go there, to the fight. Norman walks out to Robin, keeping his eyes on the sky. Dariun asks if Sauriel is here but The Red Bandit tells him she is not. He then asks who The Red Bandit is, pointing out that his bandana does not match those of the regular gazers. The red bandit denies being a gazer and only wants to watch. These six will be most fun. Even though he does not participate, he always gives choices.

He asks if the three of them will run or fight. Dariun turns to Zippy, telling him that the fight against Paterson took it out of him and he's not sure if he can take on both Lou and Karen. Zippy tells him he made a promise to help the druids no matter what. Dariun reminds him they're a team and they will stick together. Norman points out they may not have to do it alone, they are on a magical floating island filled with mages and maybe if they free the druids they can help too. Zippy informs them that the druids are actually pretty useless. Dariun turns and asks if Norman will join, to which he agrees, saying this will be a hell of a story to tell.

Dariun looks back to The Red Bandit, telling him they will fight. He gives them a word of advice; they were distracted with Paterson in the statue. If they had of gotten out faster, they would have been able to make more changes. Lou wanted them there and now they must not get distracted again. The Red Bandit starts to leave and they try to convince him to stay but being an observer, he will not. He does however, tell them there is some help to come.

As The Red Bandit leaves, an old, limping bullywog with a wide brimmed wizard hat comes towards them with the assistance of another bullywog with a feathered hat. King Veroulias and Alexandre Dumas come towards them. Veroulias calls out to Coco, happy that he hasn't passed to the other side yet. He asks Coco to take the crystal and go, keeping it safe. Dariun asks if Alexandre wants to earn the dragon slayer title as a dragon's roar is heard from the distance. Norman and Dariun encourage Alexandre and despite Zippy's negative talk, Norman gives Alexandre a bardic inspiration. Veroulias asks for them to buy them time and he will be able to help. Some wizards come to King Veroulias to provide assistance and the king asks them to heal the team and also join them to buy time. Veroulias grabs Zippy's hands and tells him he is counting on him. Whether in this life or the next, they will meet again. Zippy thanks him before he heads off.

The team now with Alexandre Dumas, Robin and six additional wizard guards look out to the islands of Jadu. The dragon looming overhead and people screaming in the distance. Dariun turns to the guards and asks for them to take Peterson to the airship. He then goes to Robin and tells her that she is not to be anywhere near the front line. Zippy casts freedom of movement on Dariun and Norman. After some inspirational words from Norman, the team sprint off to the battle. Norman runs in front of the pack and he feels a warm breath behind him. Norman spins and grabs the creature and throws him into a tree. Wells comes out of invisibility and Norman, absolutely done with him, slashes him with his rapier, amplifying the attack with psychic damage. Wells screams and out of the woods, they see wizard guards flickering out if invisibility, crazed with blue rose curses. The mages ready their wands and staffs.

Magic missiles fly around but they dodge most of them, only taken some of the damage. Zippy sees eight guards around them and Wells in front of him. He casts plant growth on the surrounding area, roots start growing out of the ground and the tress extend, making a dense Forrest. Dariun throws his dancing blade at one of the guards on the right, using distant strike to teleporting slashing one then a second then a third wizard with his katana. Coming from behind them, the team hear cheers and chanting. Chanting of the basement broohahas fills the forest. Bradley and Apophis come into the fray and Wells looks up and is crazed, screaming out Apophis' name. Apophis looks at Wells, confused who he even is. With everything going on, Apophis asks who's friend or foe. Dariun tells Apophis to turn it up to a ten for this fight and he laughs. Apophis takes Bradley off his shoulders, telling him to to go with the team cause this is not likely to be a child friendly fight. Wells goes invisible and darts to Apophis. Apophis closes his eyes, in a trance then slams his Alphonsos arm into Wells. The path is clear forwards so they continue on, leaving Apophis to deal with Wells.

They come to a bridge to the main island and see the fire and destruction from the dragon's flames. They get a closer look at Karen and see his signature sawn off horn. On the bridge are numerous civilians, crazed from the curse. Their hands glow with magic spells ready to attack. Norman casts darkness over the bridge and Dariun gets out his wind fan and uses a gust of wind to make a path through the people. Norman keeps Bradley close and Robin sticks with Dariun. Norman and Dariun manoeuvre through the bridge but Zippy is hit with a stray lightning bolt.

As they run, they come up to a familiar person. Letisha, now with a pulsating blue flower on their head above their Cyclops eye, yells and dashes towards them. Norman casts hideous laughter but she resists as she slams down with both fists in the round. Tiles lift from the ground and they all dodge back. Zippy, in his rage, puts his hands up and summons a storm above her. Lightning rains down from the storm into her eye and Zippy smiles at his friends in triumph. Dariun throws the dancing blade at Letisha and he teleports over. He slashes twice and she stumbles back. More wizard guards come out and even Grim and Tristan from the workshop to hold her down. Norman grabs the keys from Letisha and tells Zippy he had them. They continue to run and they come to the centre square.

The run down the main street, Karen swoops down, raining purple flame on them all. Zippy hears to his right a painting makes noise. The young painting Veroulias calls them over and Zippy tells the team to get in. Dariun and Norman dive in with the kids. Zippy goes in last, staring up and he meets eyes with Karen. He dives in and is singed when he goes through. Dariun pats the fire on his fur to put it out. They see a sea of painted people huddled together, scared as paintings all over Jadu are going out. Young Veroulias holds a jar of melted paint, asking what's going on. Norman has flashbacks to when he lost control and becomes light headed for a moment. Norman tells them what's going on with the beast of creation. They all move, following Veroulias through to find an exit. Norman sees an eye move and look at him from the jar of painting. Pyro and Victor, still a melted puddle, reunite with Norman and painting Veroulias thanks Norman for the promises he has made to the painted people. They hop through the paintings and Zippy notices out of the corner of his eyes, a Lemasu on the streets. They are shackled to other people, the druids. The painting suddenly goes out after some explosion happens. He knows they were close to a bridge that would go to the null stone prison. Zippy asks everyone to hurry as they continue through all of the different paintings. Then they hear on their radio, Randy calls in asking where they are.

He tells them he found the druids and is at the prison. Dariun asks Zippy what he wants to do. They tell randy to find a painting, get all the druids in and they will rendezvous at the airship. The people within the painting world also grab paintings and bring them together. They search through the paintings and eventually spot Randy in a frame showing the city streets. Dariun climbs out of the painting and grabs it. He radios into Randy and they run towards each other with paintings in hands. Karen swoops down and is about to put up another wall of flames between them. Zippy holds out his paw and slaps it on Daruin's arm, teleporting him forwards into the line of fire then he fey steps forwards to reach Randy. Dariun grabs his bubble cloak and envelopes himself, Randy and the two paintings.

Randy directs the druids into the other painting. Zippy reunites with the druids and he asks were elder Mushroom is. The Lemasu tells him they were able to escape as the small bird. Zippy unlocks the druids from their chains and Chippy jumps on the lemasu and tells him he's pretty sure they cannot live in the painted world. Zippy tells him they need to take care of the dragon then they can get out. Randy tells Dariun to go back to the ship and he will go back to his big form and will be a distraction for the team. After some protest, Zippy casts protection from energy against fire on Randy and they say their thanks and goodbyes. Randy grows and he yells to Karen who's attention is drawn over to him. Dariun casts zephyrs strike on himself as he sprints over to the sparrow.

James asks if they need to go and Dariun tells him not yet. Zippy, Dariun and Norman hatch a plan to distract and hopefully kill Karen. They instruct James to fly the ship and fly it as high as he can. Norman, Bradley and Robin hop out of the painting and Dariun asks Robin if she can sever connections other than tethers but she is unsure. Dariun explains that Karen is connected to everyone with the blue flowers so Robin prepares herself to help if she can. Dariun instructs Bradley to hold the painting as wait for the ship to go up. They see Karen chasing after Randy around the city. They level out above the city and Karen. Dariun tells James to dive towards Karen and instructs Bradley to go to the side of the ship. Within the painting, every one of the druids sit in a circle around the painting that is sitting on the floor. The majority create an immense tower of water above the painting. Above the tower is a massive storm cloud as every powerful enough druid conjure lightning. Karen raises their head. It's starting to rain, then pour then it's torrential down pour when their fire is doused then suddenly a massive shot of lightning comes down on Karen. Karen falls and slams into the ground as even more lightning shoots down into the dragon who is surrounded by a dust cloud.

Norman, Dariun, Zippy and Alexandre jump off the airship, skydiving down. They go into the dust. Dariun casts wand of webs to create a net, Norman uses his ring of the grammarian to create flight and Zippy uses his magic carpet to bring him down. They walk forwards, united. Out of the dust, they see the glowing of flames then the silhouette of the dragon. Karen tells them they are ruining everything for him and Lou. Norman tells him it appears he is a slave to Lou, which Karen gets frustrated with, yelling that he is the hero of the world.

Zippy hold up his hands and casts sunbeam into Karen's face. Karen lifts his tail and it grows and morphs into a large mace that he swings across at the team. Dariun cuts the webs and lands on the ground while Zippy dodges out of the way but Norman is slammed by the tail. Karen then goes to bite Zippy but narrowly misses him. Norman casts etherealness on himself, causing him to teleport into the ethereal plane. He flies into Karen's skull and places the immovable rod in it. Norman gets thrown out of the head and only barley catches himself with his wings. Dariun activates his Gail of the serpent and dashes forwards to Karen, throwing the dancing blade, distant striking forwards. He then uses his spectral katana to slice at Karen three times. Cutting and slicing through the dragons skin, ending up on Karen's back. Zippy notices Karen is staying oddly still. He uses his hidden path to teleport in front of their mouth and he uses cone of cold into and down his throat. The fire in Karen's throat is extinguished and now frozen. Karen's head stays still, unable to move due to the rod. Karen reminds them they were friends once, but not anymore. Karen strains and pulls down, yelling in pain until they free themselves from the immovable rod. They slam their head on the ground, leaking black blood and looking extremely bloodied.

Karen starts to pulse with energy and over their body, the blue flower roots start to cover his skin. A burst of air comes out along with spores and they all brace themselves. Then suddenly, from above, Alexandre comes down from above and slams his buster sword into the hole in Karen's head from the immovable rod. Alexandre runs down Karen's back with his blade and holds out his hand for a high five which Dariun meets. For a brief moment, Norman feels a little residual aura of cool as their hands clasp. Norman casts hideous laughter but once again it doesn't work. From behind, Randy slams Karen face into a building with a sucker punch. Dariun looks at Karen's head and pulls put his katana and targets the throat scales where the cold has affected and phantom strikes. He strike three times, through the brittle cold scales on his neck.

Karen is on his last legs and Zippy asks if this is what he wants. He asks for him defy Lou. Karen tells them a beast of creation does not fall so easily. Zippy pulls out his flame blade and apologises to Karen. He holds out his flame blade and he goes to slam it down but Karen sees it coming. Karen snaps at Zippy and bites down on his arm. Zippy is tossed away and the flame blade falls out of his grasp. Their tail spins and spins and Dariun goes flying off along with Alexandre. Randy is hit in the chest and Norman pulls back. Karen lifts off and flies into the sky. Spores start to fall to the ground. They hear some people saying the symbol is ready. Karen flies and breathes down fire in the centre of Jadu and they can see the flames outline a symbol on the ground. They recognise a gazer symbol.

The team look up to the moon and hear Karen say that it's time to end this, telling Lou it's time to come down. A cylinder of energy comes down from the moon and a wave of power washes over Jadu. Coming from the symbol, they see a man wearing a fine suit. A bold tie and a bowler hat with a thick moustache. They hear the real voice of Lou Blonger. Arriving just as planned and looking for his friends. Suddenly, streaking through the air, a lightning bolt shoots to Lou. Lou catches it but it pushed back. Walking through the centre walkway, King Veroulias comes to Lou, wearing the ornate robe they had seen in the vault and surrounded by the wands that float around it.
