Night of Terrors Official Poster

## Synopsis

In the midst of Halloween, a demon's curse sends Dellville into chaos, turning everyone into their costumes and causing them to wreak havoc - leaving it up to Andy to gather his friends back together so they can reverse the demon's spell before she becomes too powerful to seal away.

## Plot

After the school day's done, Klaus heads out to do a quick patrol of the city as Lightning Dust. During his patrol, Lightning does come across trouble when a strange whispering voice catches his attention. When he goes to investigate, he finds a thin, frightening demon woman, muttering in demonic tongue in an alleyway. As soon as Lightning Dust is close enough, the demon strikes back, briefly entrapping Lightning Dust and beginning a proper chant. Before her spell can take proper hold of him, Lightning Dust frees himself and strikes back, defeating her and sending her physical form into a smooth red jewel that appears from the center of her body. Shaken by the confrontation, Lightning Dust grabs the demon's jewel, not wanting to leave it unattended.
Wanting answers over what he just faced, Klaus heads to Andy's house, hoping that Andy may have some ideas. Andy consults his Daemona Compendium, using the demonic info inside to determine that Klaus had a run in with a powerful demon named Hollow Eve, who gains power on Halloween night and is likely looking to gain power so she can do as she pleases. Klaus presents the jewel he picked up, which Andy specifies this is Hollow Eve's core. So long as they keep it deeply hidden away, she can't gain the power she needs to wreak havoc, and once their powers wane down again after Halloween, they can use Hollow Eve's core to banish her back to the Underworld where she belongs. Klaus agrees that he can handle dealing with her core and heads home from there, hoping to get some work done on his costume.
Once Klaus is home, he searches for a place to hide Hollow Eve's core as instructed. He gets the idea that burying the core in the ground will best keep it away from any night air or moonlight, and so he wraps it in a shirt and tucks it into a shoe box before heading outside again to find a spot to safely bury it.
A few days pass, and it's Halloween night. Klaus is finishing up getting his finished costume on, which is made to be an evil emperor. Once he's ready, he heads into the living room to await Andy and Kailey, briefly chatting with Diane and Edwin, who are also dressed up for the evening. James, however, is not - which Klaus remedies by quickly grabbing a pair of devil horns for him to wear while he works in his lab. Despite not overly keen on the idea, James gives in and puts the simple 'costume' on. Shortly after, Andy and Kailey arrive at the door, revealing their own costumes: Kailey is dressed as a moth, while Andy is dressed as Lightning Dust himself. With the trio all together, they head out to start their trick-or-treating for the night.
Later into the night, Klaus, Andy and Kailey are interrupted by a sudden but brief quake, followed by the sky beginning to turn dark and red, the moon shifting to an orange-red. This immediately prompts Andy to ask Klaus about what he did with Eve's core - which Klaus insists should still be buried and unaffected. Hearing that Klaus buried it, however, Andy angrily explains that she'd still be able to draw power and escape if she was outside in the ground. As though to confirm it, Hollow Eve reveals herself in the city, casting a mass spell on the city before Klaus or his friends can stop her. The spell causes every costumed citizen, including Klaus, Andy and Kailey, into what they're dressed as. The transformation blocks off Klaus's powers, instead giving him a dark staff to use in lieu of. With the deed done, Hollow Eve escapes into the night, the trio unable to stop her between Kailey still in shock from her own transformation, Klaus unable to figure out his new powers, and Andy unintentionally speeding off when he tries to run for Hollow Eve. Klaus and Kailey attempt to catch their bearings, and ultimately decide to split up; Kailey uses her adjusted senses to go search for Andy, while Klaus splits off to track Hollow Eve down again.
Meanwhile, Andy finally manages to stop himself in his tracks, and tries to take a moment to recover and figure out what to do. In a stroke of luck, Andy quickly locates Crystal Eye, who's desperately trying to gain some sense of control on the situation. Andy shakily flies up to him and explains that they need to banish Hollow Eve to reverse her curse, and that he may be able to scrounge up a stronger ritual now that she's stronger than before. Crystal Eye agrees, and the pair head off to Andy's house so he can grab his Daemona Compendium to start working on a new ritual.
Once they arrive and Andy checks the Compendium, he determines that he, Klaus and Kailey should be exactly what they need for making the ritual work - with Andy using Lightning Dust's electricity as a power source, Kailey being their physical transformation, and Klaus being their connection to Hollow Eve after she tried to curse him when he first ran into her. Now that Andy knows what he needs, all they need to do is track their friends down again, as well as hope that their friends' minds aren't being altered by Hollow Eve's spell as well. Crystal Eye claims to have a solution in mind, both for finding them and keeping them as themselves.
Back in the city, Kailey continues her search for Andy, flying after anything that looks like a power source in hopes that it may be Andy's new electric powers. During her search, she soon gets distracted by the allure of the bright lights, and accidentally discovers that she can absorb power from the various lights she's following. Doing it once makes her far more enticed by the lights, and she decides to continue absorbing the lights as she searching, telling herself that it may help her track down Andy if it amplifies her new abilities.
Klaus continues searching for Hollow Eve on the other side of town, using his new dark staff to point him in the right direction. Once he finds her, the two begin to fight, with Hollow Eve teasing him all the while. The battle gives Klaus a chance to get used to his new powers - but between their already dark influence and Hollow Eve's manipulative words, Klaus begins to succumb to the evil influence that comes with his costume transformation.
None the wiser to Klaus and Kailey's situations, Andy and Crystal Eye arrive at Dr. Melfton's lab at the Melfton house, where they quickly discover that James has also transformed under Eve's spell due to the devil horns Klaus put on him. Thankfully, he hasn't had any mental changes, due to an invention of his that he's wearing; a metal bracelet that prevents any mental influences. Crystal Eye then explains that that device is part of what they came here for, asking James if he can make more so they can prevent Klaus and Kailey from falling under Hollow Eve's influence. Though James agrees, he needs some supplies from the lab in the city, which Crystal Eye offers to run and grab for him. While he does that, James will work on the next bracelet, and Andy is told to try and track Klaus and Kailey down and bring them back to the lab to reconvene.
Whilst searching for his friends, Andy quickly comes across a string of blacked out streetlights, which he guesses could be a clue and decides to follow.
At James's office, Crystal Eye finishes grabbing the supplies needed and heads back out to return to the lab with them. On his way back, however, he abruptly spots Klaus, who is summoning all sorts of dark rocks - and shadowy creatures alongside them. Crystal Eye quickly flies down to confront him, discovering that Klaus is now referring to himself as 'Emperor Klaus', and appears to have an evil plot of sorts for himself. Crystal Eye fends off the shadow figures that Emperor Klaus summoned and attempts to grab Klaus, hoping to get through to him. His attempts fail, and Emperor Klaus escapes the scene using the dark rocks, where Crystal Eye can't follow him. Unable to do much else, Crystal Eye takes back to the sky and speeds back to the lab.
Back with Andy, following the dead street lights leads Andy right to Katrine's house, which appears to be broken into. Against his better judgement, he chooses to investigate. Inside, he finds a now far more monstrous Moth Monster Kailey, who is attacking Katrine - transformed into a bunny, much like many of her other guests. Andy gets Katrine out of harms way before focusing fully on Kailey, ultimately drawing her out of the house by directing her attention to his sparking hair and prompting her to chase him.
Continuing to use himself as bait, Andy leads Kailey back to the lab, where Dr. Melfton has just finished the next bracelet. They struggle to get the device on Kailey's wrist, but ultimately manage. Once it's on, Kailey finally manages to regain herself. With her mind back in order, Andy asks if Klaus was with her. Kailey explains how they split up shortly after losing track of Andy.
Crystal Eye arrives, and the three follow James back into the lab, where he shows a radar that's tracking the strongest power sources of the chaos outside. Two dots are shown on the map, with the stronger being Hollow Eve. Crystal Eye states that the second must be Klaus, and proceeds to explain his recent confrontation with him. Though dismayed by the information, James gets to work on the next device for Klaus. Crystal Eye announces that he's going to track down Hollow Eve himself so he can secure her for when the trio is ready. While he does that, Andy determines that he'll follow the other source to find Klaus. Despite wanting to follow, Kailey is told to stay back with James so they can be sure that the suppression device is stable. They decide to use her staying behind to their advantage, as she can deliver the device straight to Andy when its done instead of them trying to bring Klaus back to the lab. With a plan in place, Crystal Eye and Andy prep to head out, with Crystal Eye warning Andy to be careful.
Using a small tracker given to him at the lab by James, Andy quickly locates Emperor Klaus to the ravine at the edge of Dellville, his dark powers corrupting the area around him. It isn't long after he finds his friend that Emperor Klaus mutually spots him, prompting Andy back down to the ground to try and talk to him. Emperor Klaus expresses that he plans to grow more powerful than Hollow Eve and take over Dellville for himself before throwing the first blow Andy's way, starting a proper fight between the two. Andy's able to hold his own, and takes Emperor Klaus off guard with his own electric powers, shocking him powerfully enough to daze him and take him down. With Emperor Klaus pinned, Andy spots Kailey arriving just in time, and the two get the suppression device on him. Much like with Kailey, once the device is on, Klaus properly regains himself, evidently sheepish as he recalls how villainous he's been acting.
Their proper reunion is swiftly interrupted as a bright light erupts in the center of the city, signalling that Hollow Eve is more destructive than ever. Determining that they don't have much time, Andy quickly gives his friends a rundown on the ritual they need to perform, instructing them on their positions and their lines - once Andy says the key words, Kailey is meant to chime in, and once Andy says some more, Klaus is meant to connect to Hollow Eve and use her own chant against her before banishing her for good. Though the trio isn't overly confident, they have little choice but to push forward regardless, and together they start to head towards the chaos in the city.
Once they enter the chaotic light show in the city, the trio is met with the sight of their city been all but torn apart by Hollow Eve's magic, which seems more powerful than ever. They're able to track down Crystal Eye, who is currently locked in a battle with Hollow Eve already. The trio swings in, standing alongside the hero to face off with the demon. Hollow Eve attempts to use her powers of influence on Andy, but quickly fails when Crystal Eye interrupts her with an attack, following up to keep her distracted. Once Andy recovers, he, Klaus and Kailey make their way forward to help, forming a circle around Eve. When they're in position, Crystal Eye traps Hollow Eve in place using his crystals, allowing the trio to start the ritual. All appears to be going well until Klaus realizes that he can't properly connect to Hollow Eve to recite her chant with the suppression bracelet on. Though they fear that doing so will cause Klaus and Kailey's minds to falter again, they ultimately decide that they have no choice but to risk it and take the devices off. Hollow Eve's dark influence does rear its head, threatening to take them over again - but Klaus is able to fight off the temptation and they finish the ritual, banishing Hollow Eve back to the Underworld once and for all.
As the dust settles, Klaus, Andy and Kailey are revealed to see that the city is back to normal, and they too are back to their old selves. Crystal Eye compliments their bravery through the ordeal before they decide it's about time they head back to Klaus's house to unwind after the chaotic night.
Back at Klaus's house, he, Andy and Kailey are seen relaxing with some snacks and movies, having changed out of their costumes the moment they got the chance. Andy jokingly asks Klaus if he's learned his lesson, which Klaus shrugs off with some teasing answers, and Kailey jokes that they should all dress up as Lightning Dust next year just in case. Andy is quick to decline, saying he'd rather leave the real thing to Klaus. They continue to joke for the night, able to properly enjoy themselves now that everything's back to normal again.
