Synopsis for "The Archimage Quest part 5: Countdown to Ultraforce!"
Eden visits Lukasz again in a dream and is about to ask him something when he wakes up in Gwendor. An attendant leads him to a chamber where he is given a new, hi-tech suit of armor. On Earth, Evie visits a magic shop for help to bring her mother back. The shopkeeper gives her a pendant that will supposedly do that just before her grandma comes to get her. In Gwendor, Topaz’s co-rulers bless the expedition to retrieve Gwendor’s armor a.k.a. Mantra’s original costume. As Mantra and Topaz’s force prepare to ride out, a squad of Nerosians appears and asks to join. Topaz accepts, and the group departs, following Mantra as he uses the necklace Katinya gave him to lead them to Boneyard. In his lair, Boneyard fears Mantra’s wrath as his wives attend to his wounds. Riding past some woods, Mantra and the expedition are suddenly ambushed. Their attackers are dissidents from Neros and Gwendor who believe men and women can live together. Mantra talks Daron, the Nerosian squad leader, out of capturing the dissidents, but one of his men fires a weapon at them. Mantra magically blocks the shot, giving away their location to Boneyard. Emboldened, he orders Notch to schedule some executions. After the expedition makes camp for the night, Gwendorian Andelle and Nerosian Korod meet in secret. They fell in love during the two cities’ last mating event, and she wants to be together, but he reminds her that is forbidden. Meanwhile, Mantra assures Daron of his leadership ability, and Daron thanks him with a kiss. Mantra pushes Daron away just as demons led by a woman wearing Gwendor’s armor attack. Topaz and the Gwendorians believe her to be their savior until Mantra exposes her as an impostor. In the ensuing fight, the impostor blasts Topaz, causing her to vanish. Believing her killed, the Gwendorians despair until Mantra rallies them, and they drive the impostor and the demons away. Back on Earth, Eden Blake walks into Evie’s bedroom and gives her a hug. After riding all night, Mantra and the expedition reach Boneyard’s realm and find a sign announcing Archimage’s imminent execution.
