Lizzie had arrived at the stone fortress just in time to deliver a kick to Caligula's face, causing the sorcerer to drop her staff and fall into a hole. Michael, Sera, Mandy, Aitra, and Vessie notice Lizzie didn't come alone. Penny, Melony, Raffeyette, and Diona are with her as well as two other girls: another girl with white hair and a red-head.

Michael checks his flyers and identifies them as Laria and Mera. 

"Lizzie told us a battle was gonna go down at the stone fortress", Laria reveals.

"We decided we wanted in on the action", Mera adds. 

"I gathered as many of the girls as I could, and then led them here", Lizzie explains. Some of the forest carnivores are approaching the hole the sorcerer fell into, but Michael repels them with a few energy blasts as he and the girls approach the hole.

"Someone wanna get me out of here?", Caligula yells. A short time later, Caligula is wrapped in Aitra's webbing and pulled out of the hole. 

"Now tell me the spell I need to break the curse and free the forest and the girls", Michael demands. Caligula, being disarmed and tied up, relents and tells Michael the words he needs and Michael picks up the staff and casts the spell. A flash of white line flows over the forest. All of the girls are released from their binds with the carnivores and begin running and jumping about in celebration. Michael tosses the staff away and then he and Sera share a kiss. Aitra attempts to break them up, and Mandy punches her once again. Caligula uses this opportunity to reclaim her staff, magic away the webs, and flee back to the stone fortress. 

"I'll just use this potion to shrink them all to the size of bugs, where they can be easily squashed", the sorcerer remarks to herself. Unbeknowst to Caligula, Diona and Vessie had seen the sorcerer escaping and followed her. They overhear the sorcerer's plan and jump Caligula, knocking her staff away. The sorcerer throws both girls off of her, but in the process, she bumps the cauldron and is splashed by her own potion. Diona and Vessie recover and see that Caligula has shrunk to the size of a doll. Diona picks up the doll-sized sorcerer while Vessie retrieves the staff. The sisters leave the stone fortress together and re-join the others.

"What happened to Caligula", Mandy wonders.

"She got a taste of her own medicine", Diona remarks, holding up the shrunken sorcerer. Mandy takes the sorcerer from Diona, while Michael takes the staff from Vessie. He then leads the girls out of the forest and back to their home villages. All of the other girls who had been trapped in the forest, and hadn't taken part in the battle at the stone fortress, had returned home as soon as the curse was broken. He explains the situation with the curse to the girls' parents in each village as well as to the authorities. When Michael makes it back to his own home village, he only has Sera, Mandy, and Aitra with him. Aitra rushes off to her home, while Michael takes Sera and Mandy home. Mandy puts Caligula in one of her dollhouses. The girls' parents aren't home at the moment.

"How about we go get something to eat?",  Sera suggests.

"There's a hamburger restaurant nearby hat we can go to", Mandy adds. As they leave the house, a police officer calls out to them.

"Michael, I can't thank you enough for rescuing all those girls. I hear there's still a large number of trap holes in the forest though. We could use some help dealing with those", the cop explains. Michael simply heads towards the burger place with Sera and Mandy on either side of him. just before they enter, Sera looks back at the cop and smiles before remarking, "you can fill in the holes yourself".
