Lok lay amongst the rubble at the base of the Betrayer's throne. There wasn't a place in him that did not hurt and he slipped in and out of consciousness to escape the pain.

"Lok!" he heard a voice shout. He recognised that voice. It brought a warm feeling in the pit of his stomach. But he couldn't remember who that voice belonged to. He felt arms slip under him and gently lift up his torso whilst cradling him to the owner of the voice's body. "Lok please wake up." The voice pleaded. Lok felt bad at causing this person pain but he just wasn't strong enough to respond.

"Sophie" Lok heard another familiar voice shout, "What's wrong?"

Sophie. That name was familiar too. The problem was that Lok's mind was so clouded and fuzzy from the fall that he couldn't remember much at all. Only the pain that he was currently in.

"Cherit. It's Lok. He's not waking up. I don't have the power left to heal him." Sophie sounded frantic.

"aye lass, but I can give you my energy boost" the little white gargoyle titan blew a blast of energy straight into Sophie, causing her to gasp at the sudden rush of energy.

Sophie placed her hands gently over Lok's unevenly breathing chest and whispered "Everheal". She held her breath as she watched the magic flow into Lok and his breathing evened out.

Lok's head started to clear as Sophie's magic entered him. The pain slowly lessened and he became more aware of his surroundings. He opened his eyes to see some beautiful familiar green ones staring back at him. Lok smiled and Sophie let out a breath that she did not realise that she had been holding. Her Lok was alright. He attempted to stand but although Sophie's magic had caused most of his injuries to heal, there was a deeper extent of injury and Lok's legs nearly gave out and Sophie had to support him.

As they struggled to make their way back to the other members of the Huntik Foundation, they stumbled upon Lok's father's Holotome. Lok picked it up, hoping that it would hold even more clues of how to defeat the Betrayer. However, when he opened it, a blast of energy threw both he and Sophie back.

Lok looked up to where his father's Holotome was floating in the air next to the Betrayer. The Betrayer laughed at Lok and explained how all the time that he had been using the Holotome, he had been using Lok as a mere chess piece in his grand plan of opening the Spiral Mark and releasing the Nullifiers. Suddenly the Holotome transformed into a colossal titan. The very sight of it sent fear running through all that saw it. Lok was astounded that a titan could pretend to be a Holotome this whole time. Now more than ever did he wish that Dante was there guiding him.

The titan, Demigorgon, advanced towards where both Sophie and Lok had been blasted. All of a sudden, King Basilisk appeared from nowhere and attacked Demigorgon whilst Zhalia fought the Betrayer. However, their attempts were futile and King Basilisk was forced to return to his amulet whilst Zhalia was sent flying back. When she hit the ground, she did not move.

Lok forced himself to his feet when he saw that Demigorgon was making its way towards Sophie. She could only stare at the advancing titan in horror, too scared to make any movement. Lok saw his chance. "Hyperstride" he called flying towards the legendary titan of betrayal. "overslam!" he shouted as he made contact, forcing the titan well off its course towards Sophie.

The titan was not entirely thrown, though, as it caught Lok in one of its large hands and squeezed hard. Lok tried not to think about the damage being done as he screamed in pain. His arms were clamped by his side and he could not call forth the Willblade.

"Dispose of this one, Demigorgon" he heard the Betrayer say and then he felt himself flying into nothing as Demigorgon threw him down the chasm. He heard people call his name but he felt that he could only do one thing.

"Lend me your wings, Kipperin" he called, feeling the energy of the power-bonded titan surround him. He was no longer falling either. He and Kipperin flew higher and higher until they exited the chasm. Lok saw that many other members of the Foundation had now gathered and were trying to overpower Demigorgon, but to no avail. As Lok landed, Kipperin returned to its amulet and Lok felt a sudden decrease in his strength, forcing him to his knees. He looked up again and was surprised to see his mother, Scarlett and Montague all fighting side by side against the legendary titan.

They were holding their own whilst Sophie, Zhalia, Harrison and Den were attacking both Demigorgon and the Betrayer from the other side. Lok noticed that anytime the Betrayer took a hit, he would come together around the Spiral Mark on his chest. That had to be the key to his power. If only there was some way of getting to it. Lok looked down at himself, at his ripped clothing and his bloodied and bruised skin. "Everfight" he murmured, but it did very little to help him. He was exhausted and in a lot of pain. He shakily stood up and held his hand out. "Bladecall!" he shouted feeling the power of the sword rush through his body.

His use of magic had brought him to the attention of everyone around him. He saw looks of relief flash through the faces of those around him, especially his mother, Sophie, Zhalia, Den, Scarlett and Montague. What worried him, though, was the Betrayer's pleasure in seeing him again.

"So Lok Lambert" his voice rang out "are you trying to get yourself killed like your mentor, Dante Vale?" his rasping voice reverberated through the space.

Anger flashed through Lok. Dante had sacrificed himself in the hope that everyone else would defeat this threat. Even if it would be the death of him, Lok would follow through, for Dante and for the sake of mankind. A small smile came to his face as he felt an immense power flood through him. He raised the Willblade and called forth "Pendragon!". The legendary titan of champions arose but there was something different about it this time. It radiated even more power and looked different. Lok felt the bond so clearly and knew that he had power-bonded with Pendragon.

Pendragon advanced and destroyed any illusions that Demigorgon had created to throw off the Foundation seekers. The Betrayer snarled in anger. "I've dealt with Pendragon before. I know his weakness." The Betrayer summoned another seeker forth and Pendragon shied away.

Realisation hit Sophie. "That must be Pendragon's original seeker." She called over to Lok. He nodded, thinking frantically of a way out of this situation. He had a sudden flashback of his father in Ireland. He had said that they would be expecting Pendragon and that Lok needed something more.

An idea came to Lok. It was far-fetched but it was the best bet that he had at the moment. He raised a hand to the air, and summoned the legendary titan of summons, Quetzalcoati. A familiar blue light appeared in the sky and plummeted to Earth. The legendary titan wrapped itself around Lok protectively before lashing out at Pendragon's former seeker and destroying the illusion. Pendragon was released from its bonds and retreated to stand next to Lok, opposite Quetzalcoati.

The other seekers stared in wonder at the boy before them who controlled two of the most powerful legendary titans ever. Sandra shed a tear of pride at her son. Scarlett wondered what had happened to the klutzy little boy who she used to babysit. Sophie thought that Lok had now become the most powerful seeker. Zhalia wished that Dante was there.

Just as Lok was about to order his titans to attack, a flash of light appeared and Umbra appeared, followed by a pile of ash. The pile of ash started to burn and in another flash of light, Dante appeared. Everyone gasped and Lok mentally ordered his titans to destroy Demigorgon. Whilst everyone was distracted by Dante's return, they did not notice the destruction of Demigorgon until it had happened. Demigorgon was forced back into its amulet and Lok called back Pendragon and Quetzalcoati into their amulets, collapsing to his knees when his power was drained. Sophie started to run over when the Betrayer's voice stopped her.

"How brave of you Lok Lambert. Unfortunately is has all been worth nothing as the leader of the Casterwill family now stands before me. It is time more me to destroy her. Deathray." A black energy force erupted from his hand and headed straight towards Sophie.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the blast to hit, but it never came. She opened eyes just in time to see Lok jump before her and take on the full force of the blast which sent him flying back, right to the edge of the Spiral Mark. When he hit the ground he remained there, utterly motionless. The Huntik Foundation stood watching in horror. Lok Lambert, the most promising seeker, had just taken on the full force of a deadly blast. Even the Betrayer seemed to be in shock.

"Such a shame" he said, unconcerned. The seekers all turned back to him, united by the fire of anger lit in their eyes. "nobody could ever survive that spell. It can only be used once a century and now I have wasted it upon that..." the Betrayer trailed off, staring at something behind the seekers.

The Foundation turned and saw Lok struggling to get to his feet. From this distance they could not see his features, but from the way that he was holding himself, it was clear that he was seriously hurt. "That's impossible" the Betrayer muttered.

Lok forced himself through the pain and called forth the Willblade one last time. Having the sword in his hand gave him the strength he needed. With one mighty swing, he threw the Willblade. It passed through the air quickly before passing straight through the Betrayer, through the Spiral Mark on his chest. The Betrayer seemed to convulse before bursting apart in the air, to never return again.

The astounded Foundation turned back to Lok who stood swaying on the spot. He had forced himself to stay alive through that final act and now he felt the effect that the Deathray had had upon his body. The seekers watched as his eyes rolled back and his knees buckled, sending him down into the depths of the fiery Spiral Mark. Sophie screamed as she watched the events unfold. Lok was gone. Forever. This had been her last ever mission with the boy she loved. Tears streamed from her eyes as she collapsed to her knees sobbing. Dante stood in shock. Lok, the boy who he had come to care for like a younger brother was dead. He couldn't, he wouldn't believe it. It ran to the edge of the Spiral Mark and looked down, but there was no sign of Lok, only lava. He fell to his knees is despair. Zhalia ran over to comfort Dante but inside she was a mess. Lok was part of her family. She had abandoned Klaus in favour of the Foundation and Lok had been one of the first to accept her and, like Dante, she felt almost as if he was her younger brother. Tears streamed down her face as she knelt down next to Dante and took him in her arms. Sandra stood in shock, not daring to believe what she had just seen. Her son couldn't be gone. First Eathon and now Lok. At least she knew that Eathon was alive. There was no way that Lok could have survived that. Scarlett stood staring at the spot where Lok had fallen. She had known him almost his entire life and had come to care for him greatly.

As the rest of the Huntik Foundation arrived, they could see something terrible had happened. The Betrayer was gone and there was not one happy face. Also, there was no sign of Lok Lambert. The Casterwill family went over to Sophie who was still on her knees, crying. Soon after, they were reliably informed that Lok, champion of the Casterwill family, had died in protecting the head of the family. Metz and Guggenheim were told by Dante and they let the remainders of the Foundation seekers know.

The ground gave a violent shudder, sending many seekers off their feet. Their first thought was that there was an earthquake, until they realised that the Spiral Mark was closing. Whatever it was that Lok had done, he appeared to have closed the gaping chasm that the Betrayer and Rassimov had opened. As the dust from the ground cleared, a figure became clear. He was a tall and skinny man. As he approached, his features became clear. The seekers stared as Eathon Lambert approached them. Sandra took some tentative steps closer and fell into Eathon's embrace. Eathon pulled away smiling. As he looked around, he noticed one person was missing.

"Where's Lok? Where's my son?"
