As soon as they got atop the mountain, Hana looked at the huge pile of rocks and sighed. Guita took out a book and placed a hand on the hard, smooth surface. She then whispered a question. Guita moved back, grabbing Hana's arm and pulling it back, "It's enchanted with something evil."

Amy looks at Guita, "Like a rune?"

"Yes," Guita nods, "an evil rune. Lethal to mortal."

"Mortal?" Hana sighed, "All of us then?"

Nico takes the staff and waves it, "X-ray!"

The rock became transparent, revealing what was going on the other side. A man with long midnight black locks and knight armor sat on the dirty ground with his head down.

Hana sighs as Nico waves the staff, "Destroy!"

The boulder disintegrated and slowly turned into ashes; Merlyn's demeanor changed as he saw the eyes of the man.

The man got up and shook Amy's hand. "A million gratitude, fair maiden." the knight smiled as he kissed Amy's hand.

"Uh..." Amy looked uncomfortable, "you're welcome."

Hana sighed and got in between them, "Who are you?!"

"My apologies," the man bowed his head and knelt down, "I am Mordred of Camelot."

Hana looked shocked, "Wait! Like Morgan Le Fay's son?"

"Pray, tell how does thou know my mother?!" Mordred demanded as he aimed the sword at Hana's neck.

Hana touched the tip of the metal as it went red hot, burning the man's hand. "Now, before you slaughter all of us," Hana calmly said, "why were you in the cave?"

Mordred held his hand, which now had blisters, "I was put in there by my father, King Arthur, with the aid of his wizard, Merlyn."

Tina asks, "What do you think it is?"

Mordred looks at the CEO as if she asked a silly question, "630, fair lady."

Nico looked at her grandfather, "You trapped him for two millenniums!"

"Why?!" Hana demands.

"He was wreaking havoc," Merlyn sighs, "and he's an abomination. He was a product of a misconception."

"A product of the union between Morgan and her half-brother, Arthur." Amy realized.

Leslie jumps as Wong's upper body appears. "Everyone inside now!" the sorcerer screamed as he pulled Hana into the rip.

As everyone follows, Hana unzips the tear. "What the hell, Master Wong?!"

Wong cleared his throat as he sat on his desk, "There's unrest in the dark dimension."

"Morgan?" Nico quietly asks.

Dr. Strange pointed, "Bingo! Le Fay sensed that her son has been released and is threatening to escape from her dimension."

Guita looks at the former surgeon, "She can't!"

"If she finds a way," Tina calmly asks, "what do we do?"

"It was your daughter's spell that locked Mordo away." Wong replied.

"You want me to lock her in the mirror dimension," Hana concerned, "didn't we try that already? As much as I'm against it, I think we have to kill her."

Everyone looked concerned, everyone except Merlyn, who looked delighted. "I knew you were a killer," he smirked, "you made me proud."

Guita gagged Merlyn's mouth, "Some people need to shut up."

Hana looked at the wall, "He's right. Morgan must be stopped, and trapping her did not work. She must be stopped permanently, but not by killing her."

Wong, confused, inquired, "And how would you do that?"

"Binding spell?" Strange asks.

Hana clapped her hands, "I need the staff and the book."
