Leblanche searched the house for Sophie, but was unable to find her. Finally he came across Santiago who was in the drawing room observing activity in the courtyard. "Santiago have you seen Sophie? I just got a call from Mr. Vale urgently requesting her presences at his domicile."

"She's in the courtyard meditating. Sentinel and Shinobi are keeping an eye on her."
"Thank goodness. I feel so sorry for the young miss. She's had a rough week."

"I think you mean she's had a rough two months. It is not easy for a person to deal with so much heartbreak and chaos all at once. She's also been struggling with learning her new powers. I fear what will happen when she leaves for her mission."

In the courtyard Sophie was meditating trying to find her center. Dante had said they be leaving soon to confront the Professor and his Organization in one final battle for it all. In order for the mission to be a success she needed to be in top form. "Breath in and breath out. Breath in and breath out."

Memories of the past week filled her mind disrupting her concentration. As she struggled to remain focused they pushed their way into the center of her mind.

Metz looked at her as she showed him Tao and explained how Jointbond had allowed both her and Lok to bond with the Legendary Titan. She confirmed his theory that you needed the Amulet of Will to remove a Legendary Titan safely.

"Now that we have two Legendary Titans all we need is Arachnous to complete the set. Once they're all together I know we can get Lok back to normal. Sir do you know where it is?"

"Metz if you're up to it I think you need to tell Sophie the story about you, Eathon, and Simon Judeao," Dante told his mentor. Metz nodded and told his tale.

Later that week they had returned to Dante's home after a fact finding mission. What they had learned was shocking. Simon Judeao had used his Legendary Titan to take over the Organization and was now the Professor! They only had a few moments to deal with it when they were attacked.

She had fought the Professor on the roof after being unable to invoke Tao. His powers were incredible and during the fight she had unlocked another Casterwill power Stunnershot. The power shot a ball of green electricity at his opponent. When it made contact it interfered with their bio-electrical field and stunned them for a while. With the power she was barely able to escape with her team.

They had been heading for a safe house when they were attacked by strange beings. The memories of past Casterwills told her they were Nullifires, but that that seemed impossible. The female had been particularly vicious toward her while her male counterpart used his Titans and powers against Zhalia and Dante. After the female had blown her into a wall she had lost the journal and Amulet of Will, but quick thinking of hiding the Tao's amulet under her tongue saved that from being stolen as well.

Sophie awakened from her trance and stood up quickly. Without provocation she began to attack Shinobi and Sentinel. The two Titans circled the girl trying to land an attack. Sophie defend herself with grace and speed. After ten minutes of fighting she managed to make Shinobi bleed slightly without returning to his amulet. Holding her hand out she focused her power on the wound. "Fineshape!"

Sophie's eyes started to tear when she saw she only managed to partially heal him. "Why won't this work?!"

"Miss Sophie calm down please. You mustn't let your emotions get the better of you. If you let them overwhelm you the mission will end in failure and possibly your death," Santiago told her as he recalled Shinobi. Leblanche also recalled his Titan and both men looked at their mistress.

"You're right of course. I need to stay strong. Leblanche did Dante call yet?"

"Yes he did. You're supposed to meet him and Zhalia in half an hour. I've already taken the liberty of packing your travel bag, but before you leave Santiago and myself want to know if your okay. You don't have your usual confidence in yourself. Please what's wrong?"

"Yes, you are the last of the great Casterwill family. This mission, no matter how dangerous, shouldn't phase you like this," Santiago added.

"That's the thing, this mission decides not only the fate of the world, but of Lok. Ever since Bloodlimit awakened the dormant powers inside me I thought I could get stronger, strong enough to save the person who means the most to me. Instead I've failed to free him because I've only been able to master five new powers. I haven't even made much progress with the development of my own original power. Compared to the memories of the past Casterwills I'm nothing."

"That's enough of that Miss Sophie. You are a great Seeker and no matter what anyone else says you are a true Casterwill. You have always demonstrated the four key traits of your family despite all the hardships you've faced. Santiago and I have always expected great things from you and you have never disappointed us."

"We would like to give you two presents to help you with your mission. I would like you to use Jointbond on me so you may use Shinobi to protect you when I can't," Santiago told her. He held out his hand with Shinobi's amulet.

"Thank you Santiago I knew I could count on you. Jointbond!" The magenta ribbon wrapped around the two of them. She could feel Santiago emotions. He was both scared for her safety, but proud of how much she was willing to risk to save a friend. Ending the power she now held Shinobi's amulet in her hand and felt a bond to him. "Don't worry about him Santiago I'll take good care of him."

"This is my gift to you Miss. I used Albion in the past to protect your parents . Now he shall protect you," Leblanche said, placing the amulet in her hand and closing her fingers around it.

"Thank you both of you. I promise to return home safe and sound with my friends. I have to go Dante's house now. Wish me luck."

"Before you leave we have one more word of advice to give you Miss Sophie. You have all you need to be great in here," Leblanche said, placing his hand on her heart.

"You just need to believe it up here," Santiago finished, placing his hand on her head. "Never forget that even when things seem impossible. Even if it looks like you might have to use the forbidden power of Soulbind don't do it. Believe in yourself and you will succeed. Good luck Sophie. I wish you and you team success."

When Sophie arrived at Dante's house she could hear arguing going on. It sounded like Gugenheim was telling Zhalia and Dante to abort the mission because they would get no support from the Foundation and they were down a team member.

"I can't stop you from going Dante, but I'm begging you to reconsider. You're walking straight into a trap and you have no way of knowing if you'll succeed. What if you're forced to make a choice between the mission and Lok Lambert? Can you really handle that?"

"Guggenheim, I understand your concerns, but we have to do this. If we don't at least attempt to regain the Amulet of Will along with the journal then were dooming the world," Dante said.

"Besides if we don't go to the Professor he'll come to us. Do you really want to put innocent civilians in harms way?" Zhalia retorted.

"No, but still I worry about the three of you. Do you really think you can win?"

"Guggenheim sir, no matter what happens we won't give up. Even if we have to kill Lok to complete the mission we'll do it. I have faith in Dante and Zhalia and you should too. I have so much faith I'm willing to give my Legendary Titan to Dante for safe keeping," Sophie said, as she entered the room. Slipping off the ring she gave it to Dante as a sign of trust.

"Thank you Sophie I appreciate it. I have faith in you Sophie that no matter what happens you won't give up," Dante told her.

"Yeah, I may not have liked you at first, but I believe in you as well," Zhalia said.

"Your the only one who can save Lok so you can't give up just yet," Cherit added.

"Well I can see I can't stop you three I mean four. Good luck Seekers. You're going to need it," Guggenheim said.

In the Professor's private residence just outside of Prague the Organization was preparing a little welcoming party for their guests. Rassimov had just finished giving his report and had left to join the Suits. The four people and one animal left in the office watched him leave with suspicion. Ever since Rassimov's colleagues had returned with the items they felt uneasy. No matter if all went according to plan Rassimov would be dealt with accordingly.

The Professor adjusted the amulets on Eathon's collar making sure he was comfortable. He would play a vital part in what was to come. "There now whose a good boy. Yes you're a very good boy."

"Father, all the traps have been set and the invocation chamber is ready for your use. It's almost hard to believe that tonight all your dreams will come true."

"I know my boy I can hardly believe it myself. I have two gifts for you. The first is your own holotome. It belonged to a friend of mine years ago and now it's yours," The Professor said, handing Lok the cracked holotome that had belong to Eathon.

"Thank you father I love it! Oh is this my second gift?" he asked as he picked up an amulet inside the holotome. He used his new holotome to scan it and learned that the Titan was called Dendras and when used with Baseilard it was a deadly combo.

"I know you'll make me proud son. Dr. Hayes is Project A complete?"

"I just brought them out of their tanks half an hour ago. They passed the medical inspection with flying colors and thanks to my brilliant colleague we'll be ready to use our magical medicine to complete the transference once your done with the Titans. I would ask that everyone involved wear these patches. They'll allow your essence to flow more smoothly when my time comes up," Dr. Hayes remarked with zeal. The culmination of months of work were about to bear fruitation.

"Very good doctor you have earned your reward. Davida, if you please. I need to be a full power if this is going to work."

"I understand Simon. To think this is your last injection. Soon you and I along with Lok and David will be running the world," Dr. Casey said. She injected a magically infused booster into his system. Noting that it was having the desired effect she tossed the syringe.

"The Huntik team should be arriving any minute now. I suggest we go wait for them. Remember I have faith in all of you to get the job done no matter what the costs," The Professor told them. The three nodded and then the group left to wait for the arrival of their guests.

The Huntik team had parachuted in the dead of night. After carefully sneaking up to the castle Dante went over the game plan. "Okay Seekers here's the plan. We're going to sneak inside the castle and find the Professor. Once we do we need to get the Amulet of Will and the journal back. If the occasion arises to take Lok with us then take it. Remember the Suits here will be more powerful then anything we've ever faced before so we need to be careful. Now all we have to do is sneak inside undetected."

Zhalia ignored him and strolled over to the front door. Building up her power she unleashed it, "Touchram!" The kinetic energy blew the doors off their hinges and smoke filled the courtyard. "What? Its not like he isn't expecting us. Let's go."

"You have to admire her direct approach," Cherit commented. They entered the courtyard only to stop. Dante sensed a hidden trap. Suddenly they were being bombarded by powers. The team was forced back into a corner.

"We need to get rid of the power source hiding the traps while at the same time taking care of those Suits. Cherit! You need to fly up and destroy that obelisk so we can see the traps. Sophie, Zhalia, you two take care of those Suits and their Titans. I'm going after Rassimov. Everyone understand the plan? Seekers go!"

Cherit fired his beam obliterating a Raypulse. At the same Zhalia sent out her Strix to protect the little guy as he flew towards the obelisk. The Strix beetles started firing warning shots at the Suits Enforcers. It was air dog to air dog battle. Cherit took a deep breath and fired his beam obliterating the obelisk revealing the deadly traps.

Dante summoned Caliban and they both raced through the purple electric energy field. Dante had to use all of his agility to avoid being speared by the second trap. He jumped up and snagged one of the spears. Testing its weight he called out to to Rassimov. "Are you afraid to face me Rassimov?"

"I'm afraid of nothing Mr. Dante Vale. Prepare to meet your doom!" Rassimov shouted jumping down from the catwalk. He snatched a spear midair and broke it in half. Then using a dark power raced for Dante ready to impale him to death.

Back with Zhalia and Sophie the two of them were steadily making progress with taking out the Suits. Zhalia had used Shadowspeed to race up the wall and then used Mindsight on the Suits to predict their movements. From there it was child's play to use Raypulse, Boltflair, and even Augerfrost and Venomhand to take out her attackers. "Whose next?"

"Zhalia look out!"

"What the... Armorbrand!" Zhalia called out as a giant worm like Titan attacked her. It was eating through her shield. "Killthane defend your lady!" Killthane rose and started battling the worm trying to cut in two, but the slippery Titan was wiggling out of the way.

Down below Sophie was facing her own set of problems. She had invoked Feyon to protect her and used the power of Lightcoat, a pink wall of light used to protect Titans, to keep her by her side. At the moment Feyon was battling two Titans Ammit Heart-eater and Jokul leaving poor Sophie to battle the Suits by herself.

"Forceblast!"

"Augerfrost!"

"Honorguard! Hyberstride!" Sophie shouted jumping high into the air. She brought her leg down hard on one of the Suits head. Another Suit grabbed her from behind and she tossed him over her shoulder right into another one. Spinning around she delivered a devastating heel kick to a Suit who fired a Boltflair at her. She back bended out of the way of a Touchram and managed to kick the guy in his balls. She then delivered a punch to the face at the remaining Suit. She thought it was all over until she noticed an Enforcer coming straight at her. Feyon was to far away and fighting her own opponent to help her.

That's when Cherit flew to her aid. "Prepare to suffer my wrath brother. Ahh!" A beam of energy shot from his mouth blowing up the Titan. The Strix that had been guarding him proceed to assist Feyon in battle taking out the two Titans. "Are you alright lass?"

"I'm fine, but we have to keep moving. Dante may need our oh no Dante!" Sophie shrieked as she saw Rassimov kick Dante off the catwalk and fall those a fiery blaze below. "Nimblefire!" She raced towards Dante praying she get close enough to save him.

She needn't worry. Dante invoked Solwing to fly him back to the catwalk. This pissed off Rassimov who used another dark power, Lifewave, to take out Solwing and steal some of his life force. He fired the dark at Zhalia and Sophie. Both girls were hit and their Titans forcefully returned to their amulets and left the girls struggling to breath.

"Are you two okay?" Cherit asked urgently. He was petrified by the power Rassimov seemed to wield. It was almost as strong as the Professor if not stronger.

"Give me a second to catch my breath. I'll be fine," Sophie told the little guy.

"Yeah don't count us out just yet Cherit," Zhalia said from the catwalk. She lowered a rope and helped Sophie climb up. After making sure they both were okay they raced after Dante determined to help him defeat Rassimov once and for all.

The ladies and Cherit arrived just in time to see Caliban and Dante toss Rassimov and his Titan Thornment into a portal to a dark dimension. Just before Rassimov disappeared for good he dropped something to the floor. While the girls checked on Dante Cherit picked up the amulet.

A flash of distorted images appeared in Cherit's mind. They were similar to the dreams he had been having off a late. "Boy that was strange. Dante I think I've seen this amulet before, but I don't know where."

"Let's see what the holotome has to say about it," Dante said, waving the amulet over the scanner. The holotome revealed the amulet to be Archwarder, a plant like Titan that made it next to impossible to control high powered Titans. "So this guy is responsible for the trouble with our legendary Titans."

"Don't you think its strange that Rassimov would drop a Titan like this right before he got sent to who knows where? Sounds pretty convenient to me. Maybe a little too convenient," Zhalia muttered.

"It doesn't matter. We can use this to our advantage. Now holotome scan the castle and locate the Professor."

"Unable to comply. Magical dampening field in place."

"Great, now how do we find the Professor? Searching the rooms one by one will take forever."

"No need to worry Zhalia I have the perfect spell for this," Sophie said. She cupped her hands and focused her energy. She started glowing turquoise and a sphere of turquoise energy appeared in her hands. She flung the sphere into the air while shouting, "Seekertrack!" The sphere rose into the air shining brightly before zigzagging out the room leaving a trail for them to follow. "Seekertrack is a Casterwill power designed to locate specific Seekers. Right now its homing in on the Professor. From the glow it looks like he's not alone."

"Good job Sophie. Alright team let's not keep the Professor waiting," Dante said. After Zhalia quickly performed Headcage on all of them they made their way through the castle.

They found the Professor waiting for them with Dr. Casey and Lok. There was also an older gentleman with gray hair and blue eyes with glasses waiting for them. He must be the elusive Dr. Hayes Zhalia mentioned. They were standing by the far wall with the journal and Amulet of Will on a stool.

"Ah, you all made it. Dante Vale, Zhalia Moon, Sophie Casterwill and your pet Titan I welcome you to my humble abode. You already know my son Lok and Davida. This man here is her colleague David Hayes."

"Enough with the introductions Simon. You invited us here to give us back our property. So why don't you return Eathon's journal, the Amulet of Will and throw in Lok and we'll call it even."

"Don't be so hasty Mr. Vale. After all Mr. Judeao has something he like to discuss with you. I think you'll find it quite interesting. Mr. Judea why don't you start at the beginning with your secret," Hayes suggested. The doctor had a hungry look in his eyes as if he was waiting for the real party to start.

The Professor nodded and used Breakspell on himself revealing that he was still cursed from removing Arachnous from his resting place. "as you see I'm still cursed and have been for many years. I would have died years ago if I hadn't struck a bargain with Arachnous. The Legendary Titan of Mind can very persuasive when it comes to losing its freedom. After leaving the Huntik Foundation I began researching the Legendary Titans and the Amulet of Will extensively hoping to find a cure that would free me from Arachnous. I learned of a ritual that involved all three Legendary Titans invoking the Titan of Immortality in the Amulet of Will. His power alone could break the curse on me and Metz."

"You're crazy! The Legendary Titan of Immortality is a myth!"

"I assure you young Casterwill its not a myth and that I speak the truth. Calling on the Legendary Titans will cure those cursed. That's why I used Arachnous mind control to create Organization. I needed to track down the Legendary Titans and the Amulet of Will to save myself and later Metz. Unfortunately it took too long and I was forced to resort to other means to stay alive. Just because Arachnous kept me alive didn't mean the curse still wasn't affecting me. That's why I hired my dear friends doctors David Hayes and Davida Casey right out of med school. They were the top of their field in genetics and infectious diseases."

"He didn't have to use mind control on us. We came willingly after all we've always had a bit of what you called questionable ethics. Besides it was a thrill to learn how to combine magic with science," Hayes told them.

"So that explains why Klaus gave you so much freedom. He knew you worked for the Professor personally," Zhalia muttered.

"Jealous much Zhalia. Your dark father treated you well, but it wasn't the kind of love you wanted was it. I guess that's why you took a page out of my book and aligned yourself with Dante. Of course he's nothing compared to my husband Simon," Casey taunted the Huntik team, shocking them by her news.

"Let's not get off track shall we Davida? Back to our story. After finishing our internship with Klaus we began researching how to use magic in combination with medicine to help Simon out. I was able to create powerful drugs enhanced by magic that nearly restored Simon to full power, but I was still unable to break the curse."

"That's when I started looking at the Titans for a possible answer. After all they had given him the curse and they were unaffected by it. Surely they had the answer."

"Let me guess your research lead to the experiments that turned Lok into a hybrid. I hope it was worth stripping a young Seeker of his humanity to find a possible cure for your lover," Dante snarled.

"Don't talk to her like that! I volunteered for the procedure! Anything to help my dad out. After all once he's cured he's going to right the wrongs he committed by using his powers to help the Huntik team," Lok informed the group. While they weren't happy that his memory was tampered with they were surprised to learn the Professor wanted redemption.

"Young Lok speaks the truth. Once I'm cured I wish to make up for my misdeeds, but in order to do that I need to be cured. Still being cured isn't enough. I need my youth back if I'm truly to earn my redemption," the Professor quipped.

"What's that suppose to mean? Does it have something to do with your doctors here?" Sophie asked.

"Yes. I was able to clone youthful bodies from undamaged tissue. Then using Titan DNA I created hybrids immune to curses and with enhanced magical abilities. After Overloss cures Simon I will use a spell of my own creation, Essencetransfer, to transfer our essence into the new bodies. They are younger, healthier, and look like humans. The procedure will even carry over Simon's cure," Hayes explained.

"Just think Mr. Vale. Your friend Metz not only could be cured, but be youthful again. He could go back out on missions and lead the Huntik Foundation for many more years. If that doesn't convince you to give us Behemoth and Tao how about doing it for Lok here? The transfer will give Lok his human features again. Wouldn't you like that?" Casey added.

"I don't know Dante. What they're offering is tempting, but can we trust them?" Cherit questioned.

"Whatever you chose I'll stick by you."

"A way to cure Metz and get Lok back. How can I not take them up?" Dante said. He started to walk over to Organization to hand them the amulets when Sophie decided to act.

"Wait Dante! We don't know if they're being truthful, but I have a power that can clear that up in a second," she said bringing her hand to her lips. "Truthvow!" She blue a white kiss at the Professor knowing that once it touched him he would spill the truth.

"Blasteater!" Hayes shouted eating up her spell. Quickly Casey and Lok snatched the Legendary Titans from Dante's palm. With a laugh they teleported out of the room leaving a shaken Dante on the floor.

"Dante snap out of it! We need you," Zhalia cried.

"Lass, can you use your powers to see what's going to happen next?"

"Futureknowing!" Sophie yelled. Before her eyes visions of the future appeared, but she soon cried out in pain. "Ugh the future is conflicted! We either win or lose its to close to call. I sense the Professor getting ready to invoke in the room above us. Okay Seekers here's our mission. Stop the Professor and his crazy ritual before the world is destroyed you with me?"

Zhalia and Cherit nodded. They started to drag Dante with them when three giant Titans appeared out of nowhere and started attacking. Zhalia shoved Sophie and Cherit out of the way. "Go! I got to protect Dante! We'll catch up in a few minutes!"

In the invocation chamber the Amulet of Will was placed on an alter. On either side of the alter were two bodies. Each of the bodies looked like youthful versions of the four Seekers wearing simple tunics. They had IV attached to them feeding them an orangery medicine. Hayes walked over and started using his spell to begin the transference. By the time Overloss granted them immortality they would be ready to shed their bodies. "The process has begun. Baring no interference we shall be ruling the world shortly."

"Thank you Doctor. I can always count on you and your genius. When the Organization takes over the world you shall have your pick of subjects. Davida, Lok, if you please."

"Right. Legendary Titan of the Body Behemoth come forth and serve me!"

"Legendary Titan of the Spirit Tao I call thee forth!"

"Legendary Titan of the Mind Arachnous obey me now!"

The three Titans appeared too their places on different pedestals. Next they combined their powers together in and started trying to awaken Overloss. It was going fine until Truthvow hit the Professor dead center in his back. The four of them turned to see Sophie and Cherit surrounded by Shinobi, Icarus, Feyon, and Hoplight. "I want the truth. What are you really planning to do with Overloss!"

"I plan to use Overloss's power to make myself and the others assembled here immortal. In our new bodies we will become unstoppable and take over the world. I don't care about redemption. Oh Metz will be healed, but he'll be in no shape to stop us."

"Just how do you plan on stopping us little girl? Your the last of an archaic breed of powerful Seekers. Your ancestors may have once been great, but your weak and pathetic," Hayes declared.

"There's no way you and a pint size Titan can defeat us. I don't care how many Titans or powers you throw at us we still win!" Casey declared.

"If you value your life you should stay out of this. Otherwise we're going to have to hurt you," Lok told her. He had mixed emotions about fighting Sophie.

"My life is worth trading for if it stops you from winning. You would do well to not underestimate me. Everyone attack! Raypulse, Boltflair!"

"I wanted to test out this Titans power. Behemoth show her Titans no mercy!"

"Tao take her out!"

"Gévaudan Beast rise and do my bidding," Hayes shouted. A giant red beast with a mouthful of sharp teeth and scaly skin appeared growling.

Letting loose a howl it charged Hoplight. The two Titans began to clash with Hoplight trying to slay the beast with his sword, but the creatures hide was too thick. Gévaudan bit down into Hoplight's flank drawing blood. Hoplight reared up and started thrashing trying to get rid of the beast, but it wasn't doing much good.

Feyon and Icarus were double teaming Behemoth. The Legendary Titan of Body was swinging its massive fists at Icarus who flew higher into the air before unleashing a barrage of arrows. They did nothing, but annoy Behemoth who clapped his hands together creating a sonic boom that took out Icarus. Feyon moved in to try and take advantage of the situation, but was flattened by one of Behemoth's feet.

Shinobi and Tao were in deadly match. Tao's abilities over light and spirit made it difficult for him to hide. Shinobi waited patiently for a moment to strike. Right when Tao was powering up to unleash his full attack Shinobi acted. He threw a shrunken barrage at Tao. They didn't even penetrate as Tao waved his arms disintegrating them. Before Shinobi could move out of the way the attack hit him forcing him back into his amulet.

Cherit was soaring through the battles aiding Sophie the best he could. The lone Seeker was holding her own against four others who kept bombarding her with powers. He dropped a rock on Hayes head when the man was about to fire a Raypulse. He then turned his attention on Casey and used his power beam to prevent her from using Poison fang on Sophie. He managed to dodge Lok's Forceblast, but was hit square in the chest by the Professor's Rippleburst sending him crashing through the wall and back into the courtyard in agony.

"Cherit no! Ah," Sophie grunted as Lok's Thundercut crazed her shoulder. Ignoring the pain she Hyberstride into the air and did a spin kick landing hits on both Lok's muzzle and Hayes jaws as he came after her. She quickly threw up an Honorguard as Casey sent a Stoneblade at her. "Double Spell. Augerfrost, Stunnershot!"

"Blasteater!"

"Rippleburst!"

"Darkfog!" Lok shouted blanketing the area with a thick smoke. Using his enhanced speed and senses he attacked Sophie tearing off parts of her clothes and leaving deep wounds in her arms and legs. As he moved in to bite her he found himself surrounded by Bubblelift and hurled away. "Impressive Sophie, but your at the end of your rope and out of Titans."

"Like I said don't underestimate me. My Titans may have been defeated, but I can give them a second chance to fight again and this time with more help. Newlife! Now everyone arise and fight by my side!" Her defeated Titans appeared once more by her side along with Sabriel and Albion. Sophie was panting with exhaustion. Invoking all her Titans left her with little power, but she refused to give up. "Shall we begin round two?"

One floor below Sophie Zhalia was struggling against the three Titans by herself. Dante still hadn't awaken from his stupor and she had used a lot of her power invoking Garion, Hoplight, and King Basilisk. She rolled both her and Dante out of the way as part of the wall came crashing down. "Ugh can't keep this up. Come on Dante snap out of it! Ah!"

One of the giant Titans was looming over her getting ready to pluck her off the ground. Garion appeared out of nowhere and fired lasers cutting the hand off. The tiny Titan jumped on top of the monstrosity trying to knock the creature off balance. Nearby King Basilisk and Hoplight had the other two on the ropes, but they needed help.

"Touchram! Venomhand!" Zhalia called out, as she raced through the gaps in their legs. Her spells seemed to weaken their legs, but still they didn't tumble over. "Where is that blasted Seeker?! If I take him out all the Titans should disappear! Whoa ah!" Zhalia had just been backhanded into a wall, barely having the time to react with Featherdrop before she crumbled to the ground in a heap of pain.

Back with Sophie the tide seemed to be turning in her favor. The ritual had been disrupted and the flow of Essencetransfer had grind to a near standstill. Hayes's Titan had been sent packing and now the doctor was out of the fight due to be grazed by an Augerfrost. He was now busy checking on his bodies making sure they were okay. She also had manged to wound the other members with her powers. "Don't give up now keep pressing the attack! Raypulse!"

Albion was using his sword to battle against Behemoth. When the Professor had tried to take control over him he found that impossible thanks to Albion fierce loyalty. Albion bravely fought against Behemoth's attacks. Darting in and out of the Legendary Titans attacks Albion slashed Behemoth chest drawing blood. Encouraged by this Albion slashed again and again drawing more blood.

Assisting Albion was Shinobi who was battling Casey. The ninja Shinobi hid in the shadows disappearing and reappearing at random only to attack her. Using Shadowpoint he had managed to cut her left wrist making the hand useless. He dodged a Darkblade disappearing once more.

"Oh no you don't you sorry excuse for a ninja! You are not getting the drop on me again! Boltflair!" Casey shouted, flooding the area near her with light. Shinobi had no wear to hide. "Time to end your miserable existence. Poisonfang!" She laughed like a madwomen as Shinobi withered on the floor in pain before retreating to his amulet. "Now for the other pest. Stoneblade!" Her spell sent a distracted Albion into air only to be kicked back into his amulet by Behemoth.

Nearby a similar situation was occurring between Lok, Tao, Feyon, and Icarus. Icarus once more took the skies to battle Tao, but this time stuck to the Legendary Titan's blind spots. Unable to see where the arrows were coming from Tao's attacks were all over the place. At the same time Feyon was trying to use her sword and fan to cut Lok a new one. Only his enhanced speed and use of Chamelonscales kept him alive.

"Cute trick, now why don't you try mine. Baseilard, Dendras I command you! Baseilard, contain Feyon. Dendras work your magic on Icarus!" Lok ordered. His Titans did as he commanded with Baseilard pinning Feyon's arms behind her. That's when a controlled Icarus toasted her and then took out himself. Thanking his Titans he turned to face the real threat of Sophie.

Sophie was exhausted after invoking so many Titans and using so many powers. Her Hoplight had fought valiantly against the Professor, but was defeated by him. Sabriel had manage to wound Arachnous before a sticky thread latched onto her head. Strangely instead of being controlled by the thread Sabriel continued to try and protect her even as Sophie begged her to stop. She was being mercilessly crushed by the onslaught of the Professor's powers. "Please Sabriel return to your amulet! I can defend myself! You don't need to die for me!"

Sabriel ignored both Sophie and her injuries. Once again she raised her sword and charged the Professor intent on impaling him. The Professor sneered at the arrogant Titan. "I don't know why your acting like this, but if you want to die then so be it. Rippleburst!" Sabriel exploded into a million pieces along with her amulet. She was really dead. "Now to deal with you Ms. Casterwill."

Sophie blinked back the tears. Anger flooded her and she ignored Santiago's warning and let an aura of power surround her. "Sabriel was my best friend! I'm going to kill you. By using a forbidden power I'll have the strength to crush you like an insect!"

"I don't think so. Bramblebind!" Hayes called out. In her rage Sophie hadn't noticed the doctor inching closer until he was in a position to attack. He soon had Sophie tangled up so tightly in bramble she couldn't move or use powers. "Now that you can't move you can't dodge our attacks. Time to crush you like an insect. Raypulse!"

"Augerfrost!"

"Forceblast!"

"Rippleburst!"

Sophie screamed in agony as the powers ravaged her body frying her insides. Her heart stopped beating as she flew from the air. She cracked her skull on the hard floor as she landed with a thud. She wasn't moving, breathing, or had a pulse. By all definitions she was dead.

"Finally I thought we never get rid of that annoying interloper. Now we can get back to the ceremony uninterrupted," Casey said.

"Return to your positions and focus your powers. Overloss should be here soon. Lok, Lok! What's the matter son you okay?"

Lok gave Sophie one quick forlorn look before shaking his head. "Nothing wrong father. Let's finish what we started."

In the chamber below Zhalia was covering Dante with her own body. Her Titans had managed to take out two of the three Titans before being crushed by the third. She was out of powers. "Looks like this is the end Dante. I just wanted you to know how much I love you."

"I love you too Zhalia," Dante told her standing up. "That's why it can't end like this. Caliban and Metagolem come forth!" His two heavy hitters appeared and using their skills managed to defeat the last Titans. That's when they discovered the Seeker was the Professor's dog Eathon. They managed to keep him from warning the Professor by calling him by name. "The Professor must be real twisted to name his dog after Eathon."

"Forget the dog we need to get moving. Cherit and Sophie are fighting alone against the Professor."

"No, Sophie is by herself! I got blown out of the room and only just managed to recover. I came looking for you because I think something horrible has happened to Sophie!" Cherit screeched as he flew into the room. The three of them took off ignoring the dog trailing behind them.

Sophie was suspended on her back in a dark void. The injuries to her body were no longer bleeding. Her mind was at peace and she waiting for the light to appear to take her home. Her only regret was that she had failed in her mission. "If only I had another chance I would complete the mission," her voiced echoed in the void. A light did appear and she was floating towards its. Right before she entered the light her life flashed before her eyes. Certain memories suddenly became very vivid causing her to pause in her journey to the afterlife.

"Be warned, your enemies will try to stop you and will use your greatest strength against you. But, if your heart is pure and your soul courageous, you can overcome any obstacle and discover a power inside you that can save all you hold precious," the Oracle warned her. She thanked him and hurried out to find her friends.

"Remember trust your instincts," Casterwill whispered before fading away.

"Before you leave we have one more word of advice to give you Miss Sophie. You have all you need to be great in here," Leblanche said, placing his hand on her heart.

"You just need to believe it up here," Santiago finished, placing his hand on her head. "Never forget that even when things seem impossible. Even if it looks like you might have to use the forbidden power of Soulbind don't do it. Believe in yourself and you will succeed. Good luck Sophie. I wish you and you team success."

""Thank you Sophie I appreciate it. I have faith in you Sophie that no matter what happens you won't give up," Dante told her.

"Yeah, I may not have liked you at first, but I believe in you as well," Zhalia said.

"Your the only one who can save Lok so you can't give up just yet," Cherit added.

"I love you Sophie," Lok said.

"Everyone believed in me, trusted me, counted on me to complete the mission. I can't let them down now. Bloodlimit show me a way to win!" Sophie called out. A rainbow of light wrapped itself around her and took her away from the void.

Back in the real world things were reaching the climax. Dr. Hayes's Essencetransfer was nearly complete and the clone bodies were almost finished being full out. In a few more moments the would be alive. The Professor, Casey, and Lok had almost completed the ritual. The Amulet of Will was glowing like crazy. It was vibrating all over the alter. Suddenly a surge of energy pulsed out engulfing the area. When it dissipated their stood Overloss in all his glory.

"At long last we've succeeded! The Legendary Titan of Immortality is finally here," Casey said in awe.

"All my dreams are about to come true. Overloss I command you to make me im," The Professor started to say, when he was interrupted by a commotion. Turning around they all saw Sophie's dead body float into the air and right itself. "What is going on here?! I thought you said that girl was dead!"

"She was! She had no heartbeat, no pulse, and her brain was crushed! There's no possible way she could have survived!" Casey replied in disbelief. She had to shield her eyes as rainbow aura surrounded Sophie healing her injuries. "What the heck is she doing?!"

"It feels similar to my Essencetransfer, but this is on a totally different scale!" Hayes roared over the wind swirling in the room.

Lok stared at Sophie in awe. He had mixed emotions about when the girl died and now she was coming back to life. He could feel her mind brush his and he knew what was happening. "Its a power unique to the Casterwill line. Its called Lifeessence. Unlike the forbidden power of Soulbind, this power uses the essences of all the users ancestors to restore them to power without shortening their lifespan. To be able to use a power of that magnitude and young age is astonishing."

Sophie floated to the floor outlined in a pink light. Her eyes open and you could instantly tell something was different. When she spoke her voice echoed with thousands of past Casterwills. "I told you before not to underestimate me. I will stop you and save Lok!"

"Don't get ahead of yourself girl. Just because you rose from the dead doesn't mean you can beat us. Poisonahh!" Casey screamed, as both she and Hayes were shoved towards the wall by a Farslip and then Stopglued in place. Both doctors glared daggers at the arrival of Dante, Zhalia and Cherit along with the Titans Ignatius, Caliban, Ariel, and Gar-Ghoul.

"Sorry we're late we got held up back there," Zhalia quipped.

"Its alright your here now and I could really use your help."

"You got it. Its over Simon! Surrender now before someone gets hurt!"

"The only one whose getting hurt Mr. Vale is you! Lok son keep them busy for a few minutes. I need more time to bond with Overloss before asking him my favor."

"Right father. Baseilord, Dendras with me!"

"Seekers attack!" Dante commanded. Caliban went after Behemoth, Ariel used his winds on Tao and Ignatius burned Arachnous. Gar-Ghoul and Zhalia fired attacks at Overloss while Dante tried to distract the Professor. Cherit was trying to stop his fellow Titans from harming Sophie who was getting ready to heal Lok.

The battle between the two lovers was fierce. Both used their strongest attacks and defenses against one another in all out battle royal. Finally Sophie brought Lok to his knees with a well placed Stunnershot. "Lok, I know your spirit can hear me. I did what you asked and now I'm going to save you with both Fineshape and my original spell. A spell that uses the power of love and friendship to strengthen ones heart and soul so much they can even overthrow mind control. Doublespell. Fineshape, Friendshipcircle!"

Lok screamed as the two powers covered him, one in a purple light and the other a rainbow circle made up of his friends love for him. He clutched his head in pain trying to resist Sophie's power, but she urged him to let it heal in him. Deep inside his head a battle of wills was being fought. His old human self and Lycanthrope were battling the hybrid desperate for control. Finally with their combined strength they defeated the hybrid. In the real world a fully human Lok wearing Lycanthrope's amulet collapsed into Sophie's outstretched arms.

"Lok! Oh Lok your back to normal. I knew you could do it!"

"Thanks to you Sophie. I knew I could count on you. I love you Sophie," Lok whispered. He leaned in to kiss her when he was snagged by one of Arachnous threads and started being pulled back towards the Professor. "Help!"

"Lok!"

"You belong to me boy or did you forget that son?"

"Dragonfist! Your never getting your hands on Lok again Simon. None of us will let you!"

"It matters not if he's by my side or your holding him Mr. Vale. Overloss is about to grant my wish and when he does Lok will with me again thanks to Essencetransfer placing him a new body under my control. Overloss cure me of this wretched curse and then grant those bodies over their your gift of immortality!"

"Its now or never guys. We need everyone's help to win this one. You up for it Lok?" Dante asked. The boy nodded and grabbed Sophie's hand for support. "Alright then Zhalia, Cherit first wave go!"

"Gar-Ghoul whirlpool on Overloss! Touchram!" Zhalia ordered. Both their attacks stopped Overloss in midcasting. They kept up the attack drawing his attention away from the Professor who was shouting furiously. That's when Cherit flew in and blasted him in the face blinding him. To keep him really distracted the pint size Titan landed on his head and started biting and scratching drawing blood.

"Sophie, Lok second wave go!"

Using Jointbond to give Lok strength the two of them used Baseilord and Dendras in unison. The might warrior flung the puppeteer into air who then used his puppets to try and take control of Overloss, but was struggling to do so. "We need help Dante!"

"Your going to get now. Third wave Archwarder come forth!" Dante shouted using the last of his powers to summon the evil Titan. Archwarder used his power to make it impossible for the Professor to control him. It gave Sophie and Lok the opening they needed to command Overloss to return to the spirit world with the Legendary Titans and the cloned bodies.

Everyone hugged the floor as Overloss did as he commanded. A portal opened in the back wall sucking everything in it. The Legendary Titans vanished along with the bodies. The poor doctors were also sucked along with the Professor despite Lok's brave efforts to save them. It was over and soon the Huntik team was hugging Lok tightly saying how much they missed him and how he was feeling.

"I missed you guys too. I actually feel fine, better really. I still seem to possess some of Lycanthrope's senses. I just feel weird inside. I mean I know the Professor and the doctors did horrible things to me, but I just can't help but feel sad their gone," Lok admitted. He then spied something behind the group and walked over to poor lonely Eathon. He cradled the dog in his arms promising to take care of him from now on.

Two days later they arrived back at Dante's house were members of the Huntik team were there to congratulate them. Metz was fully cured and looking better then he had in years. "Well done Dante. You not only saved the world, but were able to free Eathon Lambert's son from Simon's clutches. You've done well my protege. You certainly have exceeded all expectations. I won't be surprised if your leading the Huntik Foundation one day. With Zhalia by your side of course. Your a remarkable Seeker young lady and your skills make you a treasured member."

"Thank you sir that's very kind."

"That means a lot to me, but the true heroes are over there."

"That's right! Sophie and Lok were both amazing against the Professor," Cherit chirped.

"Ah how could I forget. Ms. Casterwill you have certainly lived up to your families reputation. I'm hopeful with the support of the Foundation we can recover much of your families lost history and add to it for future generations."

"Thank you I appreciate it. But I never could have done it without Lok's help."

"Don't kid yourself Sophie. I wasn't much help. Some Seeker I turned out to be. Getting captured and used by the enemy. My dad would be disappointed in me."

"I doubt that Mr. Lambert. From what I was told you fought the mind control continuously and you never harmed your true friends. In the end you helped put an end to the Organization and become a fantastic Seeker. Your father would be proud."

"Thanks Metz. You know Simon never did tell me if he was dead. He could still be out there alive. If he is I'll find him."

"I'll help you look for him Lok. We all will. Remember your not alone in this."

"I know, but there's something more urgent I need help with. School's starting soon and I need tutoring to keep up. Think you can help me with that?" Lok teased. Everyone laughed as Sophie kissed him and things were right in the world again.
