 "Behind this impenetrable glass, is the recently discovered, and only known existing copy of the Arkamada Book of Spells," The elderly tour guide explained to the group.

 Currently, Max, Gwen, Ben, and Rose were all in a museum of mystical artifacts. And while Max, Gwen, and Rose were actually paying attention, Ben was goofing off somewhere in the room.

 "It contains ancient witchcraft and rituals from the late sixteen hundreds," Gwen said to Rose, accidentally speaking over the tour guide, as they both had said the exact same thing.

 "Maybe you should work here, dear," The tour guide said rudely, causing the red-head to get embarrassed.

 With that, the group began to make their way to the next artifact.

 "Don't let mummy-face get to you," Ben said, walking up to Gwen and Rose. "She's probably older than that spellbook," Ben said, blowing a raspberry and making faces.

 "'Mummy-face'?" Rose quoted. "More like 'witch-face'. I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote that book!"

 "Wow, Rose, I didn't know that you could be so mean," Gwen said, shocked.

 "No one makes fun of my friends and gets away with it," Rose stated, crossing her arms. "Also, you've seen me be mean before - Remember when we went to Sparksville and met those Megawatts?"

 "Yeah, but this time, candy can't make you nice," Ben said, a small smirk on his face as he placed his hands on his hips.

 Suddenly, the building began to shake, making everyone gasp and tense up.

 Then, everyone in the room began to float up, and they all soon got stuck to the ceiling.

 "Ah, something tells me this isn't on the tour," Max spoke, his voice sounding strained.

 Then, from a diamond-shaped window standing opposed to the book and it's case, a red mist appeared and made its' way towards the objects. And from it, appeared a man clad in black and red leather and bandages, a hood hanging over his skeletal face. A necklace of five different orbs, each with a different symbol, lay across his chest in a 'V' shape.

 "The Arkamada Book of Spells," He spoke, voice deep and gravely. "All of its power shall soon be mine!"

 "Fah-me-doof!" He exclaimed, the second orb on the right of his chest glowing as the glass case around the book exploded.

 With the explosion, Ben immediately went to his watch as the man levitated the book towards him.

 "Now might be a good time to go, hero-Oh!" Ben yelled in shock as everyone in the room started falling towards the floor.

 Hitting his watch, Ben turned into XLR8 as Rose subconsciously went into her Air Angel form.

 The Speedster Duo hit the floor way sooner than anyone else, and speeding over to a tribal banner, they grabbed the ropes hanging from the bottom of it, and tied each one to a table, and the railing to a stairway; allowing everyone to slide to the floor safely.

 "Everyone out," Ben demanded, his screen popping up as he spoke.

 Everyone besides Max and Gwen ran out screaming.

 "Ben, Rose, be careful. You don't know what tricks he's got up his sleeve." Max said, before taking Gwen and leaving.

 "Good luck, Rose!" Gwen called.

 "Thanks!" Rose called back.

 "Dude, you want a book, try the library," Ben said, popping down his faceplate and turning to the criminal.
