After the embrace between the four adventurers broke up, Csintalan returns while holding a beautiful gothic wedding dress for Athalia.

"Oh, Athalia! I'm back with your surprise, my gothic bride!" Said Csintalan

"Oh, Athalia! I'm back with your surprise, my gothic bride!" Said Csintalan. But when he sees Athalia, he notices how her appearance is different than he remembers. "Okay, I have to admit, that is a pretty dress." Said Alex. "Athalia, darling, what happened to the black dress I gave you yesterday?" Csintalan asked.

Amanda immediately stands up and faces the charming villain. "Stop calling me Athalia! The name's... Amanda!" She said. "But... but..." Said Csintalan at a loss for words. "We know what you did!" Said Max. "I don't know what you're talking about." Csintalan as his surprised expression becomes a stern one. "Does this look familiar?" Asked Justin as he holds up the vial.

Csintalan gasps. "Judging by that gasp, we'll take it as a yes." Max said. "Alright... uh, what's your name?" Asked Amanda. "His name's Csintalan." Justin said. "Csintalan. Thank you, Justin. Alright, Csintalan, I found this vial in my kitchen the other day, and we found out you were the one who put it there!" Amanda said. "We may not have seen the effect happen, but a friend of our's told us she got sick shortly after drinking it!" Alex said.

"Why did you put the vial in my room?!" Asked Amanda angrily. Csintalan was really mad now. "You want the truth? Fine, here it is! I wanted you all to myself! Before the weekend started, I spied on you and your wretched husband, and that was the most jealous I've ever been, watching such a beautiful woman like you be with another man!" He said. "You really don't know anything about love, do you?" Asked Justin with his arms crossed. "Can I help it if I'm desperate for a life partner?" Asked Csintalan. "Don't you mean 'angel of darkness'?" Asked Alex. "Amanda here will always be an angel of light." Said Max.

A smirk appears on Csintalan's face. "You're forgetting, I asked her to marry me. Look at her finger for proof." He said. "And that's where you're wrong. You asked Athalia to marry you. The only ring I see on my finger is this swan wedding ring I've been wearing for a year." Amanda said. "Don't you usually wear your other swan ring too?" Alex asked. "Yes, but I didn't have the strength to put it and my other accessories on once this whole mess started." Said Amanda.

Filled with vengeance, Csintalan summons all his dark shadows. "Okay, now I'm mad!" He said. "Uh-oh." Max said. "Get them!!!" Csintalan yelled as he pointed at the four adventurers. "You guys battle the shadows, I'll take care of Csintalan!" Amanda said. "We're on it, swan princess! Before you get in there..." Justin began.

The oldest Russo gives Amanda a sword using his wand. "Thanks. I don't know how strong his magic is, but it'll have to do." She said. The shadows charge toward the Russos as the fight between them begins.

Amanda, with her sword ready, charges towards Csintalan, who pulls out his own sword, then the two break into a duel.

"There's one more thing you forgot, dearest." Said Csintalan. "Try me." Said Amanda. "I still have plenty bottles of the same potion I had you drink, so I can turn you back into my gothic princess and the two of us can wed as planned." Csintalan said with a smirk. "Athalia may agree, but I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on earth!!" Amanda yelled.

With her magic good again, the swan princess blasts some at Csintalan's drawer of potions, destroying all the bottles inside. "No!!!" Cried Csintalan. He rushes over to all his broken bottles as his eyes fill with black tears. "It's over, Csintalan! Surrender now or prepare to die!" Said Amanda as she points her sword at the now crying villain. 

"Okay, I surrender!" Said Csintalan as he puts his hands up in defeat. Though Amanda seems convinced, she doesn't put her sword down. "You better not be lying, mister! I know how villains think!" She said.

"Can I just say one more thing before I officially stand down?" Csintalan asked. "Fine, make it quick." Amanda said. Csintalan cups her face in his hands. "You were the only woman I've ever been close to!" He said. Those words may have sounded touching, but Amanda wouldn't have any of it. "If you wanted to get close to something, tie a boulder to your feet and jump in the Thames River!" She snapped.

Amanda drives the sword through Csintalan's chest. "Athalia... please, we can make this work!" He said. "For the last time, Athalia is gone! And where you're going, you'll never see her again!" Yelled Amanda. Csintalan feels his life slip away as he disintegrates into a cloud of darkness, descending into oblivion.
