Back at Panhenge, Zud, Wisp, and Crainer meticulously prepared to cast Slogo's spell, an opportunity that had Zud brimming with excitement. "I can't believe I'm finally meeting Slogo the Wizard, outside of my dreams!" Zud exclaimed. Crainer, however, harbored reservations. "It's not that I doubt your courage, Zud, but this is quite an audacious endeavor," he cautioned. Wisp chimed in, expressing his concerns as well.
Wisp pondered, "Is it wise to meddle with the ancient legends? What if they intended to stay sealed away for a reason?" Crainer puts his hand around Wisp's shoulder, and stated, "What's 'out there' about saving the most legendary people of all time from a hundreds-year-old prison?" Crainer asked. "Well... nothing when you say it like that. Unless 'the most legendary people of all time' knew what they were doing, and we shouldn't mess with it." Wisp stated. "I'm sure Slogo and the Pillars did the best they could back then, but magic has come a long way. Mostly because of the work they did." Crainer stated. "That's true. And you did get wings from finishing one of Slogo's spells." Wisp confirmed. "Exactly." Zud said. "But then I messed with one and nearly destroyed the universe, so..." Wisp stammered. "Wisp, Slogo the Wizard is the greatest wizard who ever lived. The chance to have him back in Earth is worth the risk." Zud stated.
"That's good news." Someone said. It was Chrissy, who apparently was in a mess. "Otherwise, I'd have brought this shield for nothing. And can you believe it when I got the shield? I almost got killed by dragons!" She added. "What did you even d-" Wisp asked, but Chrissy shut him up. "I don't wanna talk." Chrissy snapped. "I hope you don't think you're the only one to find his artefact, because this here shovel says otherwise." Jerome said, placing the shovel on the rock formation. Laughter was heard from the corner, and Kate appears from the shadows. "Honestly, you two. Not everything is a competition. But Biffle's flower is by far the most attractive of the artefacts." Kate said, gently placing Biffle's flower on the rock formation. "You're just saying that because you didn't have to scuba dive in a pit of green slime to get yours!" GarryBlox exclaims. Placing the slimy blindfold on the rock formation, It made Kate gag. "Or move a flash beehive." Mitzefy said, taking off the healer's mask off her head, putting the mask on the rock formation. "Good work, everyone. Let's do this!" Zud exclaimed.
Both Crainer and Zud performed Slogo's spell, looking at Wisp, which he hadn't started to perform the spell, Wisp groans, and performed the spell with their magic. After casting the spell, the Pillars reappeared in the sky, which when they fall, a rock above them would hit them in the process, so the friends made their attempt to catch them. Jerome pushes Nico away from the rock, Mitzefy pulls Sigils away from the falling rock, Kate bridal catches Biffle, uses her magic to grab the artefact to prevent it from breaking, GarryBlox swoops to grab Henwy, and Chrissy grabs Jelly from the falling rock at the last second.
Putting all the Pillars back to safety, Slogo, the well known powerful Wizard, spoke up. "What... What has happened?" He uttered. Zud, starstruck to meet his magical idol, tells him what he and his friends have done. "It worked! We brought you back!" Zud squealed. "To where?" Slogo asked. "You and the others have been trapped in hell for over a thousand years, but I figured out how to get you ho—" Zud explains, and Slogo becomes instantly distressed. "What?! No, no, no, no! You must undo what you've done!" Slogo shrieked. "What? Why? I mean, I don't think I can." Zud said. "You cannot bring us back!" Slogo stated. "But I did. I brought all the Pillars back." Zud replied. "You cannot bring only the Pillars back!" Slogo exclaimed.
As dark clouds gather in the sky, a black, amorphous creature comes into being, taking the form of a large horned person with wings of smoke. Zud's spell has brought back not only the Pillars of Old Earth but also the evil Shadower.
"Oh no..."
