Demitri was revived by Pyron, and beamed up to his ship. He challenged Pyron, but was no match for him. He called Pyron his master, and Pyron made him his general. He wanted Demitri to reestablish his rule over the petty humans of the world.



A family is minding their own business, unaware that Demitri is outside. He finds the scene charming, peaceful and disgustingly human. He crashes through the window.



The father grabs a sword, but Demitri uses his powers to get him and his wife under his control. He orders his slaves to get down, and then tells the woman she's first. She walks up to him.



He sucks her blood, and she drops to the floor. Demitri grabs the man, but Donovan then appears.



Demitri loses interest in the man, and hears the little girl, Amanda, gasping. He thinks she's a snack, and as he approaches her, she runs off to the fireplace.



Demitri thinks she's fast food, which is so tasty. He uses his spell on her, but Donovan then enters the house. Demitri thinks it was thoughtful of him to wait until he'd fed. He throws out a projectile, but Donovan blocks it with his sword.



Donovan throws a projectile back at him, but he phases through it. He throws out another projectile, only for Donovan to destroy it with his sword. Donovan then hits Demitri with another projectile blast. He wonders how Donovan became so powerful.



He lands next to Amanda, and grabs her. He uses his power on her again and then tells Donovan to hold off. But Donovan is already attacking, and ends up blasting both him and Amanda.



Demitri asks him if he can catch as well as he throws, and hurls Amanda through the broken window. Donovan leaps out and catches her, and uses his beads to make a platform to land on.



He takes Amanda back up, only to see that Demitri has transformed himself into a bat, and flown away.



Elsewhere, Bishamon is out of his armor, and thinks about his beloved Orin. He can sense her presence, but wonders why he cannot see her. If he could hear her voice, just once... he knows that it's this sword, the curse of Genai. He wants to destroy Genai.



Genai starts glowing with a red energy, and he says the accused sword is too strong. Demitri then appears, and asks if that's Bishamon. Bishamon puts his armor on, and tells Demitri he's told him to never disturb him during his meditations.



Demitri says he has no time to waste on his petty concerns, as the human sorcerer Donovan is after him. He wants Bishamon to fight him, but Bishamon tells Demitri to fight him himself. Demitri says Donovan has a powerful sword, one worthy of being an opponent of Genai. He suggests it might be too powerful for Genai, at which point the sword glows. It speaks through Bishamon, and says they will fight.



Bishamon says Genai has spoken, and tells Demitri to take them to Donovan. Demitri says they'll wait here, as he'll come to them. Bishamon says this place is sacred, and will not bring the dishonor of Demitri's violence here. He'll settle things with Demitri later, and then leads him towards another place, which has a bridge on it.



Elsewhere, Felicia finishes up filming a commercial for cat food. She and Harry leave, and Harry can't believe she's actually eating that stuff. Felicia thinks it's delicious, although it could use some salt... and a dash of mouse. Harry tells her to come on, as he's been working on a spell he wants to show her. She thinks he's getting good, but he says the light up ahead isn't something he's done.



Donovan steps out of the light. He says he's come seeking their help, and says he rescued Amanda during a battle with Demitri. Demitri had fed upon her parents, and he thinks she's spell shocked. Felicia attempts to talk to her, but she doesn't say anything back to her.



Donovan says Amanda is in shock, and still affected by Demitri's powers. Harry asks how he knows her name, and he explains he searched her house until he found her name in written records. He's brought her to Harry, because he's a descendant of Merlin. He thinks Harry may be able to break the spells affecting Amanda. And someone needs to take care of her, someone better suited than he is.



Harry says he doesn't have time to look after a girl, but Felicia tells him not to be selfish -he can't fight evil if he turns his back on good. Donovan tells him he must learn that the path to power involves helping those who are innocent and helpless. He then says he will finish his battle with Demitri, and his spell sword will lead him to him. But the sword doesn't work.



Amanda glows with energy, and realizes that she must have absorbed the aura tracking power of his blade when the spell struck her. He can't find his enemies without her, but Felicia doesn't think he can drag a poor, innocent girl into battles. Donovan says that's why they must be there to protect her.



He picks Amanda up, and runs through a portal he's made. Felicia jumps through it, and whilst Harry is reluctant to go, Felicia uses her tail to drag him through.



Demitri and Bishamon see the portal, so Demitri disappears. As Donovan's group arrive, Donovan tells the others to keep Amanda safe.



He goes up to Bishamon, and tells him he's no Darkstalker. He wants him to stand aside, as he has no quarrel with him. Bishamon says he has no quarrel with him. Donovan says usually he strikes at evil without hesitation, but he senses Bishamon is not evil. He wants to know why he must destroy him. Bishamon asks if it is not enough that he serves Demitri. Donovan tells him not this time. Bishamon thinks back...



Bishamon was a warrior ever since he could walk. He fought for the shogun, who raised him to the rank of samurai. After 100 combats, he became a general, who had never been defeated. Some said he could become the shogun.



But the current shogun was a treacherous man, who made a deal with demons. The demons made the evil sword he now carries, and when he took it, he ended up being locked in a bell, never to see his beloved wife again.



Centuries later, Bishamon was found by Demitri, and revived. Back in the present, Bishamon says it was Demitri who freed him, and it is Demitri who he must serve, until he can break the spell of his accursed sword. He says they must fight, and Donovan says it seems they must. They begin to do battle...



...as blade clashes against blade. Up on a cliff, Felicia's group are watching, unaware that above them, Demitri has reappeared.



Donovan and Bishamon continue to fight. Bishamon calls his opponent a brave fighter, and says he's sorry. He uses his power to shatter the bridge Donovan is standing on.



Donovan falls, but uses his beads to create a platform for him to fly back up on. He launches his beads at Bishamon.



Bishamon gets the beads off, by having his armor emit a flaming aura which removes them. Donovan runs over and strikes through the aura, and says what Bishamon did was ancient, evil magic.



Amanda tries to warn Harry that something's wrong, but he tells her not now. Donovan says he'll cool Bishamon's flaming anger, and tries to freeze him, but he shatters the ice to pieces.



Bishamon then summons the spirits of several samurais, which he sends out at his opponent. Donovan starts cutting through them all, and then resumes his attack on Bishamon. Meanwhile, Amanda is still trying to warn Harry, but he still ignores her.



This allows Demitri to drop down, and smack Harry off of the cliff. Felicia tries to attack Demitri, but he blasts her off of the cliff. Meanwhile, Donovan summons his flame spirit...



...who blasts Bishamon a few times. Donovan calls Bishamon a noble warrior, and says he does not wish to destroy him. He wants to end this useless fight, and Bishamon says he wishes it could end. Demitri then appears, and has taken Amanda hostage. He tells Donovan to surrender at once, or he'll make the girl a vampire.



He tells him to think of it, as Amanda will never again walk in the sun. Donovan tells him to let her go, and face him in battle. Demitri says he hasn't lived this line by being stupid, and tells Donovan to lay down his sword. Donovan does so, but tells Bishamon that no matter what happens to him, he must save the girl. Demitri tells Bishamon to take Donovan's head, but Bishamon says no -he's dishonored him with his cowardice and treachery.



Demitri tells him not to blabber to him about his lost honor, and screams at him to take Donovan's head. Bishamon's sword begins to glow, as does Bishamon himself. Meanwhile, Felicia finds that Harry has survived, thanks to a floating spell.



Bishamon begs for Orin to help him, and then tells Donovan to strike now. Donovan picks up his sword back up, and charges.



His blade strikes Genai, destroying it. Its pieces transform into tentacles, which wrap around Bishamon.



He manages to rip them apart. Demitri decides to bite Amanda, but before he can, Felicia uses her tail to fling Harry...



...right at Demitri. With him distracted, Felicia tackles him, and he drops Amanda. Harry catches her, as Demitri says he'll suck the marrow from their bones before he's through with them.



Bishamon tells him to think again, and says he's free. Donovan tells Demitri they have unfinished business. Demitri screams to Ship to get him out of here, and he is beamed up just before Donovan can strike him. Bishamon tells Donovan he has freed him from the curse of Genai -he can never repay this debt. Donovan tells him his freedom is the only payment he can ask for.



Harry tells Amanda he's sorry he didn't pay attention when she tried to warn him, and promises to never do that again. Amanda doesn't say anything, but holds her hand out towards Bishamon. The spirit of Orin appears above Bishamon.



Everyone but Bishamon can see it, and he doesn't understand why he can't see her -the curse is broken! Harry says he can almost hear her, and walks forward. Suddenly, Harry is taken over by Orin's spirit. She says this gentle wizard has lent her his body, so she may speak to him. She says that whilst Genai has been destroyed, he must now do battle on the side of good, one day for each day he fought on the side of evil. Only then will he truly be free, and they'll be reunited forever. Harry then returns to normal.



Donovan pulls out his sword, which glows. He says that his spell sword says a new sword awaits Bishamon, one that will not turn to evil. Bishamon says he won't rest until he finds it, and bows. He then walks away.



Donovan creates a portal, and takes everyone back home. Harry says he'll take care of Amanda, but Donovan says no -she's his responsibility, and he won't abandon her. Felicia doesn't like the idea of him dragging a little girl into all sorts of danger , but Harry sarcastically says they did such a great job of protecting her. Donovan says for better or worse, his and Amanda's fates are intertwined, until Demitri is destroyed. As he and Amanda go through a portal, he promises them that Demitri's destruction will be very soon.
