The Antitrix's most dangerous alien yet, Thornblade, emerges. As Kevin fights to keep it under control, Gwen must protect him from a deadly new threat.
Opening Scene: A Dangerous Transformation
The episode opens in Bellwood, where chaos erupts in a busy city square. Kevin Levin is mid-battle, but his expressions twist between anger and fear. The Antitrix on his wrist pulses with a dark red glow as he struggles to contain a transformation. A sharp, metallic screech pierces the air as Kevin morphs into Thornblade, a monstrous alien with armor-like bark, razor-sharp vines, and glowing red eyes.
Thornblade swings a massive, thorny arm, shattering a parked car and sending bystanders fleeing in terror.
Kevin (Thornblade): (in a guttural, distorted voice) "No... this isn't what I wanted!"
Onlookers scatter as Kassandra Levin (Charmcaster) arrives, her hands glowing with purple mana energy.
Kassandra: (calling out, her voice firm) "Kevin! You have to fight it!"
Kevin roars, smashing into a nearby lamppost, unable to control the alien's destructive instincts.

Enter Talon
Above the chaos, Talon swoops in, his sharp talons glinting in the sunlight. Perched on a rooftop, he surveys the scene with a smirk.
Talon: (mockingly) "Looks like Levin's got himself a little identity crisis. Perfect time to ruffle some feathers."
Talon dives, aiming directly for Kassandra. She conjures a shield just in time, the clash of his talons against her magic creating a shockwave.
Kassandra: (gritting her teeth) "You picked the wrong fight, bird-brain."
The two engage in an intense aerial and magical battle. Talon's speed and agility keep him out of range of Kassandra's attacks, while she counters with precise spells, trying to keep him distracted from the civilians below.

Kevin's Struggle
Meanwhile, Kevin's internal battle rages as Thornblade continues to wreak havoc. In flashes, Kevin's consciousness fights against the alien instincts consuming him.
Kevin (thinking): "Come on, Kevin. You're stronger than this... don't let the Antitrix win!"
He stumbles, smashing into a building. For a brief moment, his glowing red eyes flicker, showing a glimmer of control.

Gwen's Arrival
Gwen Tennyson arrives on the scene, her hands crackling with mana energy. She immediately spots the dual threats-Talon attacking Kassandra and Thornblade rampaging.
Gwen: (assessing the chaos) "Great. Two problems at once."
She uses her mana to create glowing barriers, protecting civilians while shouting to Kassandra.
Gwen: "Keep Talon busy! I'll handle Kevin!"
Kassandra nods, casting a chain-like spell that briefly binds Talon to a streetlamp.
Kassandra: (to Gwen) "He's losing control of the Antitrix! Be careful!"
Gwen approaches Kevin cautiously, dodging a swing from Thornblade's vine-arm.
Gwen: (calmly, with a soft voice) "Kevin, it's me. You need to focus! Fight it-don't let this thing take over!"
Thornblade roars, but Kevin's voice breaks through briefly.
Kevin (Thornblade): (strained) "Gwen... help me!"

The Deadly Threat
Talon breaks free from Kassandra's chains, launching himself toward Gwen and Kevin.
Talon: (mocking) "Oh, how touching. Let me end this little drama for you."
He aims a razor-sharp dive at Gwen, who barely deflects it with a mana shield.
Kassandra: (furious, casting a spell) "I said, BACK OFF!"
A burst of purple energy explodes around Talon, sending him crashing to the ground.
Kassandra: (panting, turning to Gwen) "You deal with Kevin. I'll handle the pest."
Talon recovers, his red eyes locking onto Kassandra with renewed fury.
Talon: (sneering) "You've got some fight in you. Let's see how long that lasts."

Kevin Gains Control
As the fight rages, Gwen channels a calming mana wave toward Kevin, surrounding Thornblade in a soft glow.
Gwen: (soothing) "Kevin, listen to me. You're stronger than this alien. It's your Antitrix, not the other way around. Take control!"
The glow seems to reach Kevin, and Thornblade stumbles, clutching its head.
Kevin (Thornblade): (growling, but with more clarity) "I... I can do this."
With a roar, Thornblade reverts back to Kevin, who collapses to his knees, exhausted but conscious.
Kevin: (breathing heavily) "Thanks, Gwen. I almost lost it back there."
Gwen: (helping him up) "You didn't. That's what matters."
---
Talon's Defeat
Nearby, Kassandra and Talon are locked in a fierce battle. Talon uses his speed and agility to stay ahead of Kassandra's spells, but she counters with clever tactics, creating magical decoys and traps.
Kassandra: (taunting) "What's wrong, Talon? Not so fast when you're grounded, huh?"
Talon screeches, launching a barrage of feather-blades at her. She deflects most, but one grazes her arm.
Talon: (laughing) "You're out of tricks, sorceress."
Suddenly, Gwen and Kevin join the fight. Gwen immobilizes Talon with a mana net, and Kevin, regaining his strength, transforms his arm into a steel mace.
Kevin: (grinning) "How about a taste of your own medicine?"
With a powerful swing, Kevin knocks Talon out of the air, sending him crashing into a pile of rubble.
---
Resolution
With Talon defeated and restrained, the team regroups.
Kassandra: (clutching her arm) "Next time, leave the bird-wrangling to me."
Kevin: (smirking) "You did fine. Besides, I had my own problems to deal with."
Gwen: (serious) "Kevin, the Antitrix is getting harder to control. You need to figure out how to handle it before it's too late."
Kevin: (nodding, his expression somber) "Yeah. I know. But I'm not giving up. Not yet."
As the authorities arrive to take Talon into custody, the team walks away, battered but victorious.

Closing Scene: A New Threat Looms
The episode ends in a dark laboratory, where a shadowy figure reviews footage of Thornblade's rampage and the team's battle with Talon.
Shadowy Figure: (to an unseen ally) "The Antitrix is proving more unstable than I anticipated. It's time to move to the next phase."
The camera pans to reveal a glowing, crystalline device, pulsing with energy.
End of Episode.
