The woods on Roanoke Island were silent except for the crunching of leaves underfoot.
Klarion and Teekl, softly padded through the woods. "Terrence said that it should be here somewhere." His eyes narrowed.
As if on cue, an orange hue lit up the ground about ten feet away. "The Pentagram!" Klarion grinned. He pulled out the yellow gem, smiling. Terrence had reconstructed the gem just as if it was brand new. Klarion set it in the center of the pentagram and chanted a few words. Suddenly, some of the most powerful sorcerers from around the realms appeared. Klarion chanted their names as they arrived. "Wotan. Mordred. Wizard. Felix Faust. Maleficent. Jafar. Doctor Facilier." Many more arrived, taking their positions on the pentagram. There were 25 sorcerers when all had arrived. One by one, chanting until the voices blended together in a majestically creepy voice. Chanting until Klarion and Mordred were left standing on the pentagram alone.
"Wir sind die pfeifer von hameln."

Far away, in Lion City, the dual meeting was taking a break. The Realm Council stood in one corner, near the passage that led to the Speedor garage. The Realm Elders stood by the throne. Two separate groups, two separate conversations.
"Do you guys think we're on some sort of probation after the whole DC vs. Marvel fiasco?" Emily asked.
"With the Realm Elders? Hard to tell," Wilbur chuckled, "A few of them have got really good poker faces." He nodded at Lagravis and Crominus were in the midst of a grand conversation.
Alex nodded. "I doubt it, though. What reason would the Realm Elders have to be angry with us?"
"I dunno," Laval turned toward the Realm Elders. "We did start a lot of battles and just about ripped the realms apart."
"Oh, yeah," Cragger nodded in agreement. "I'm sure we're in trouble. I just-"
"Just what?" Clay asked.
"Oh, I don't know," Cragger sighed, "I feel like the Realm Elders hover over us like overprotective parents. I just wish that they could give us some space."
At that moment, the Realm Elders vanished. Weapons clanged to the floor noisily. Tormak's bow went off, charring the stone pillar nearby.
"Dad!" Laval, Danny, Violet, and Cragger cried.
"Ewald!" Eris yelled.
"Skyra!" Emily and the Elves pleaded.
"Batman!" Robin gaped.
"Sensei Wu!" The ninja shouted.
"Sky-guy!" Ahsoka screeched in fear.
"Merlock!" The Nexo Knights, one mournful chorus.
"Breezor! Tormak! Icerlot! Balkar! Vornon! Wakz! Grumlo! Rawzom! Runkus! Stealthor!" Their respective Realm Heroes cried.
"Steve!" Alex pleaded.
"Aunt Cass!" Hiro gasped.
"Tatum!" Tanessa, clutched her weapon close.
"Uncle Iroh!" Zuko's cry of desperation.
"Mrs. Robinson!" Lewis called.
"Mom!" Wilbur, Penny, Rapunzel, and Mottrot yelled.
"Laval!" Li'ella ran in. "Where'd everybody go? The guards are gone!"
"All of them?" Nya asked.
With shaking paws, Laval took command. "Spread out, Realm Heroes. Find out if this is just our realm or if this is everywhere."
