Demitri visits his uncle Dracula. Demitri tells Dracula he looks terrible, and asks what's wrong. Dracula says he's getting too old for this. Demitri says they're vampires, they don't grow old. Dracula says they wear out, and reveals that a mad man named Van Helsing has been chasing him. Van Helsing wants to destroy him, and he doesn't know how much longer he can run. Demitri wants to know where this Van Helsing is.

Dracula says no -his time has passed. Demitri's time is coming, and he must be ready -he must be invincible! Demitri says nothing is invincible, but Dracula tells him about an artifact called a crystal skull. It has been lost for 1,000 years in the swamps of Central America. Demitri heads off to find it.

He thinks he is close, and believes when he finds it, none will stand against him. He is able to locate the skull, and picks it up out of the swamp. He says the skull of souls is his, and now, he'll be all powerful!

Nearby, Bishamon has seen everything, and says it's most disturbing. He decides to tell the others. Sometime later, Felicia and Harry arrive in New Mexico. Felicia has borrow Lex's car, and is on a phone call with him. She tells him the car is fine, and says she won't wreck this one.

Felicia asks Harry what they're looking for here, but he says he doesn't know. He just senses that they should be here, and that something is going to happen. This is why he has also brought his great grandfather's sword, as he thought it was a good idea at the time. Felicia then has to swerve to avoid driving into Bishamon.

Bishamon explains what's been going on, and says Demitri has been searching for the crystal skull since he became a Darkstalker. He says that the skull is the most powerful of all undead artifacts, and Demitri believes he'll be unstoppable. But Bishamon says he wants to face him, as it's the only way for him to redeem his honor. Harry then remembers the sword, and presents it to Bishamon.

Bishamon unsheathes it, and as he swings it around, it makes a noise. Felicia says it could be a singing sword, and Harry says as he and Elijah were descended from Merlin, anything is possible. Bishamon says this shortens the odds, but Demitri is still very powerful. Harry thinks he could take Demitri, but Bishamon tells him to still warn the others, in case he fails.

Felicia and Harry drive off. At the swamp, Hsien-Ko flies over, and says Demitri is here. But she then realizes he was here, and is gone now. She then teleports to the place he has gone. She can sense he was here, but is gone again.

She decides to meditate, but then Bishamon walks up to her. She realizes he's no Darkstalker, and asks him what he wants. He says Demitri is nearby, but she must not attack him. She says it's her destiny to destroy the vampire lord, so how can she not fulfill it? Bishamon tells her Demitri is all powerful now, he will destroy her. He explains that Felicia and Harry Grimoire have gone to summon the others, so she must wait for them.

She refuses to wait for Darkstalkers, and flies off. Bishamon says he must fight Demitri first.

Later on, Demitri is looking at the skull, but then senses someone, the one who he thinks is the only one who could stop him... unless he prevents it. He has the crystal skull launched at Harry and Felicia's car. Felicia has to go off-road to avoid it.

The car stops near the edge of a cliff, but the skull blasts it from behind, causing it to fall a great distance. Bishamon looks down on the wreckage, and tells his friend he'll avenge him. Meanwhile, Demitri says that was far too easy -he'll grow spoilt dealing with women and children.

Bishamon appears, and calls him a coward. He says he come to destroy him, but Demitri tells him he doesn't have the power to do it. Bishamon says they'll see, but Demitri tells him he should have stayed a Darkstalker, as he could have served him -in some minor capacity. Bishamon then attacks, but Demitri protect himself by creating a barrier. He says that brute force is so crude.

He then disappears, and reappears behind Bishamon. He attacks with an energy blast, but Bishamon blocks it. Bishamon sets Demitri ablaze with a fiery blast from his armor, but Demitri gets up.

He charges into Bishamon, knocking him down. The two continue to fight, but Demitri uses the skull to protect himself.

Demitri says he's tired of this, and thinks he should have left Bishamon in that bell. Bishamon tells him he has no honor, but Demitri thinks honor is for humans, fools and losers. Bishamon attacks, but Demitri stops his sword with one hand. He then kicks his weapon out of his hands.

Demitri says he's his now, and blasts him with the skull. Bishamon is hit, and disappears. Demitri starts laughing.

The next morning, Donovan and Amanda walk through the desert. They come across the wrecked car, and find Harry and Felicia nearby, protected by magical barriers. Donovan swats away a vulture.

He revives Harry, and says he'll wake Felicia in time, but he wants to talk to Harry alone first. He asks Harry if he knows why he's still alive. Harry shakes his head, and says that when they went over the cliff, he tried to make himself and Felicia float, but something else happened. Donovan says he found them encased in a forcefield, and tells him he has powerful sorcery in him. Harry asks how to use it, but Donovan says you don't. He fires off an energy blast, and explains you coexist with it, it uses you as much as you use it. It's not a decision to be taken lightly.

Harry asks what decision, and Donovan says to accept the magic. He says it's to accept the calling of his ancestors willingly, with all his heart. To be forever changed, as there's no going back. Felicia then wakes up, and when Harry says Donovan is here, she goes to attack him. He stops her, and says there's no need.

Felicia says for Harry's sake, they'll keep the peace. She asks what he's doing here, and he says he's felt strong emanations here. He's been tracking Demitri, and Felicia tells him they ran into Bishamon yesterday. He'd said that Demitri was nearby. Donovan asks why Harry didn't tell him about this, and Harry says he just fell off a mountain, plus he didn't ask. Donovan stabs his sword into the ground, and says he'd said they have nothing to fear from him now. Felicia says he could change his mind, but Donovan says whilst he could, he won't. He asks them to take care of Amanda until he returns. Felicia says they will, and as Donovan walks off, he tells her that someday between them there will come a reckoning.

Elsewhere, Hsien-Ko comes across Bishamon's sword. She says that whilst Bishamon has failed, she must not. She calls upon the god of righteous testing to lead her to the dark one. She senses where she must go, and flies into a cave.

She phases through a wall, and finds Demitri's coffin. But when it opens, she finds that Demitri isn't in it. Donovan appears, and Hsien-Ko thinks Demitri is a popular prey. Donovan says so it seems, and Hsien-Ko says Demitri can't live without his coffin, so why hasn't he destroyed it?

Donovan hits it with his sword, but it fails to do any damage. He says the coffin is powerfully protected, so he must find Demitri whilst he's on the run. Demitri is the end of his quest, and his destruction is his! Hsien-Ko says that Demitri destroyed her family, so the honor of his destruction must fall to her. Donovan is about to fight her, but she blasts part of the ceiling, causing rocks to fall down everywhere.

She phases back through the wall, and flies off. She says this was regrettable, as Donovan was a brave hunter in a good cause, but the vampire is hers. She flies out of the cave. Elsewhere, Harry's group return to the cliff they fell off earlier. Harry asks Felicia how many of Lex's cars she's wrecked, and she says only 2 -and it wasn't her fault! Amanda then finds Felicia's phone, and brings it back to her.

However, the phone crumbles to pieces when Felicia tries to use it. Harry finds Bishamon's sword, and realizes what's happened to him. He says Demitri won't get away with this, but Felicia tells him no -he's not ready, Demitri will kill him. Harry says Demitri will kill everyone if he's not stopped. Donovan walks over and says Harry is right, but Felicia is also right. He says Harry isn't ready yet, he hasn't made the leap of faith. It's something only he can decide.

Donovan says he must stop Demitri, but Amanda then alerts them all to something. They hear the sound of some explosions nearby, and go to investigate.

Hsien-Ko has started to fight Demitri. Felicia says Hsien-Ko fights like a tiger, but Harry says Demitri is more dangerous than a tiger. Hsien-Ko tells Demitri this is the last round, and he must be destroyed -it's his destiny.

Demitri tells her that, for a ghost, she's awfully noisy. Hsien-Ko says if it's noise he wants... she pulls out a gong and hits it, sending out loud energy waves which make Demitri collapse.

Hsien-Ko walks up to him, only for him to roll over and throw the crystal skull at her. It hits her, and she disappears. Demitri picks the skull back up, and notices Harry's group.

He throws a projectile at them, but Donovan appears and uses his sword to deflect it. Donovan tells Demitri that this is their reckoning.

Harry goes to help, but Felicia stops him. She says he'll distract Donovan and break his concentration -letting Demitri destroy them both. Demitri throws a large projectile at Donovan, but Donovan has his sword spin around in place to stop it.

The two fire several projectiles at each other, but Donovan eventually gets hit. He gets up and catches his sword.

He tells Harry to remember to accept it willingly, with all his heart, or it means nothing. Demitri then throws the crystal skull towards him. It lands before him, so he hits it with his sword...

...and he disappears. Demitri says this is how it started, that day in New York. He chased Felicia to the house of the boy, and she's been nothing but trouble ever since. Felicia says it's her pleasure, but Harry warns her that she can't beat him. Felicia says she knows, but she can try. Demitri says here is where it ends, and he'll become an emperor, master of the Earth! Felicia then attacks him.

She tries making multiples of herself, but Demitri blasts them all. He grabs Felicia as she tells him to get out of here. Demitri tells Harry he can go, as he has no interest in him -he's just a human. But he has a score to settle with Felicia, and he says she'll see where Donovan went. Harry uses his magic so blast a beam at Demitri...

...but he's able to block it. He strikes back with a beam of his own, and knocks Harry down. As Demitri approaches him, he remembers what Donovan told him about accepting it with all his heart.

Harry tells Elijah to hear him -he's ready! He tells him to give him his magic. The spirits of Elijah and Merlin appear. Meanwhile, on Pyron's ship...

...there is a series of strange noises, and Pyron asks his computer what's going on. Morrigan gets up and calls Demitri a fool -what has he done?! Back on Earth, the spirits transfer energy into Harry.

Harry grows in size, and tells Demitri he's sick of him hurting his friends. He hits him with an energy blast, but Demitri is able to send a blast back.

Demitri says his magic is stronger, but Harry says he can control his own magic. He tells Demitri he shouldn't have awakened that skull, as he has to keep feeding it. The skull turns around in Demitri's hand, and whilst Demitri still tries to command it, it zaps him, making him disappear. Harry returns to his normal size, and says he felt like he's just ran in a marathon.

He helps Felicia up, and says he's different, but he's still himself. He says he has one more thing to do, and picks up Bishamon's sword. He walks up to the crystal skull, and uses the sword to smash it to pieces. In doing so, the spirits of those captured by it are released, including Demitri.

Donovan, Hsien-Ko and Bishamon are all returned to normal. Demitri gets ready to attack, but Amanda runs over to him and shakes her head. As he stands down, Hsien-Ko tells Harry something new has been added. Harry gives Bishamon his sword back, and Bishamon says the war is not yet over, but this battle has been won.

Meanwhile, Demitri is beamed up to Pyron's ship. Pyron asks what happened, and Morrigan says the balance of power has changed. Demitri has given them something to fear, and from now on, things are going to be far more interesting.

Back on Earth, Hsien-Ko waves, and then teleports away. Donovan tells Harry that he's taken his first steps into a larger world, and tells him he did well. He tells Felicia that they'll meet again. He then walks off.

Bishamon tries to give Harry his sword back, as it's the sword of his ancestors. Harry tells him to keep it, as he has his own way of doing things. He uses his magic to repair the trashed car. Felicia says she thinks he has the magic touch, and asks what he's going to do with it. Harry tells her anything he wants!
