Superkids: Darkness

Superkids: Darkness


prologue:


	The man in the white labcoat dashed through the laboratory, aware of what he and his fellow scientists were about to do. The United States President has convinced all of the world's countries to launch their nuclear missiles into space and detonate them where they can do no harm, forever ending the Earth's foray into nuclear warfare. The scientists have the President thinking they are working for him. Little does he know, they plan to sabotage the President's plan.

	"Dr. Jonas, is everything ready?", one of the other scientists asks as the man enters the room.

	"The cryo-chambers are prepped and the hacker program is uploaded. As soon as the president enters the nuclear launch codes, we will gain control of every nuclear missile that is launched", Dr. Jonas confirms. One of the other scientists walks over to a control panel and presses some buttons. The platform on which the scientists are standing sinks into the ground, transporting them into an underground fallout bunker. Another of the scientists boots up a supercomputer located inside the bunker. Six different images appear on its screen: the president giving a speech about the end of nuclear warfare, the moon base, the martian base, a science lab in Russia where the prime minister is communicating with the U.S. President via video phone, the U.S. army base where the army awaits the president's signal to launch the nukes, and a nuclear plant in Canada where a mob a protesters is demanding that the world's governments hold on to their nukes and not go along with the U.S. President's plan.

	"In mere moments, the threat of nuclear war will be eliminated forever, and the people of Earth can breathe a sigh of relief", the President declares.

	"That's what he thinks", one of the other scientists sneers.

	"You can say that again Dr. Ruben", another scientist responds to the first, "The president's "big moment" is about to blow up in his face". The scientists hear the sound of a motor descending into their bunker. An airship shaped like a video game controller lands in the bunker.

	"Great, the Child Star Enforcers are here. They can watch us stick it to the President", one of the scientists remarks. Eight individuals disembark from the airship: PowerStar, StarBright, Dupli-Kate, Freeze Frame, SunGirl, Turnbuckle, GamerMan, and GloryGirl.

	"The President wanted the eight of us to make sure you scientists don't mess up anything. The launching of the nukes must go according to plan. If anything went wrong, the Earth could face a Nuclear Apocalypse", StarBright explains.

	"The seven of us will see to it that the president's plan goes, eh, according to plan", the lead scientist explains. Then, without warning, he whips out a pistol and shoots PowerStar, killing him instantly. The remaining seven Child Star Enforcers stand there in shock for a second. StarBright kneels over his twin brother's body and begins to cry.

	"Nice one Dr. Skyler", another scientist remarks, "now the sides are equal". The seven scientists fan out, each one targeting a different one of the seven Child Star Enforcers. Dr. Skyler aims his pistol at StarBright, Dr. Ruben attacks Freeze Frame with a freeze ray, Dr. Jonas battles GloryGirl using a cloud of nanobots, Dr. Bernie uses a heat ray against SunGirl, Dr. Sonia uses a sonic blaster against TurnBuckle, Dr. Visor uses a cloaking device on his wrist to attack GamerMan while invisible, and Dr. Psyche uses a device worn on her head to fire psychic blasts at Dupli-Kate.

	"We are gonna purposely trigger a Nuclear Apocalypse by making the launched nukes detonate prematurely. we have cryo-chambers et up here in this fallout bunker. We will freeze ourselves down here in order to survive said Nuclear Apocalypse. the cryo-chambers  are already set to thaw us out in 100 years. At that point, we will use our scientific knowledge to make ourselves the rulees of that post-aocalyptic world." Dr. Skyler explains. The scientists allow the Child Star Enforcers to push them back into the room where cryo-chambers are waiting.

	"The nukes are now launching fro mall around the world", a reporter announces on the supercomputer. The scientists abandon the fight with the Child Star Enforcers and lock themselves in the cryo-chambers. The Child Star Enforcers try to open the chambers, but findthey are shut tight.

	"So long, suckers", Dr. Skyler taunts. The Child Star Enforcers watch on the supercomputer's screen as the nukes begin to detonate high up in the stratosphere. The president and everyone around him begins to panic, and an earthquake hits the fallout bunker. The seven Child Star Enforcers regroup and watch as the poor president is trampled alive by fleeing people.

	"We better do something", StarBright suggests. Before they can move, the upper part of the bunker begins collapsing. The Child Star Enforcers are trapped. Thinking fast, Freeze Frame surrounds the Child Star Enforcers with a wall of ice. Debris hits the controls for the cryo-chambers. With the controls damaged, the whole room freezes over. Seeing as there's nothing else to do, Freeze Frame fully encases the Child Star Enforcers in ice.

	All around the world people flee from the nuclear devastation. Most of them use Teleporters located in certain government bases to escape to the Moon base or to the Martian base. Some brave souls high-tail it to Australia, since the Aussies never had a nuclear arsenal and their continent is largely unaffected by the disaster. People around the world wonder where their heroes, the Child Star Enforcers, are in all this. They have no way of knowing said heroes are essentially in suspended animation far underground.

	Years pass, and the radiation levels eventually die down to a point where those who escaped to the Moon or to Mars can return to Earth. They begin referring to the disaster as the Nuclear Apocalypse. As even more years pass, the survivors begin to notice side effects of the so-called Nuclear Apocalypse. Particularly, they notice a large number of kids being born with unusual powers and abilities. It is determined that radiation caused DNA mutations that resulted in these kids being born with "superpowers". The shattered remains of the world's governments come together to form an organization called D.A.N.G. (Defense Against Nuclear Genocide), which seeks to prevent future nuclear disasters from occurring, as it is discovered that not every country launched their nukes. D.A.N.G. also takes note of all the super-powered kids being born, and comes up with a fitting name for these individuals. They call them Superkids.


200 years later (the year 2220)


	"Nice to have some peace and quiet for a change", Sally Blitzer remarks. The Superkids have been hanging out at the D.A.N.G. base in Peru ever since they defeated a crime lord named Don Overkill. Bountymaster and Captura, two bounty hunters that Don Overkill had hired to eliminate the Superkids, are still at large but haven't been sighted. The Superkids are waiting for any sightings of the bounty hunters to be reported. Sally and her brother Felix are playing an old video game called "Child Star Enforcers" when there's a knock at the base's front door and another Superkid enters the building. The Blitzer siblings have never met this Superkid before, but they overheard the security system refer to him as a Superkid. The kid looks to be about 13 or 14 years old. He has short brown hair and is wearing a red turtleneck, beige pants, and black sneakers. A yellow t-shirt is visible under his turtleneck.

	"Hi. My name's Tyler. Tyler Ferdinand", the kid states. He notices Sally and Felix and rushes over to them. Sally checks her watch for info on Tyler.

	"Tyler Wesley Ferdinand. Can project force fields of any size. Can levitate himself and whoever is with him inside the force field", She reads off. Tyler notices the video game they are playing.

	"You two are Child Star Enforcers fans?", Tyler asks.

	"We just like playing this video game. Our parents once told us the Child Star Enforcers were a group of superheroes who fought crime in the days before the Nuclear Apocalypse", Felix explains.

	"I am a big fan of the Child Star Enforcers", Tyler explains. He quickly whips off his backpack and digs into it, pulling out a wide variety of Child Star Enforcers memorabilia including a large number of comic books. He points out that the character Sally is controlling in the video game is called SunGirl, while Felix is playing as Turnbuckle.

	"My parents told me that the Child Star Enforcers suspected a group of scientists were going to sabotage the president's plan to rid the Earth of nuclear weapons, so they went to confront the scientists. Then, the Nuclear Apocalypse happened and the Child Star Enforcers were never heard from again", Tyler reveals.

	Michael Drayren is flying about in his dragon armor, looking for any sign of Bountymaster and Captura. As he flies past the damaged Hollywood sign, he sees the laboratory where the Superkids foiled the evil plan of his girlfriend Penelope's father. The Lab had been abandoned ever since then, but as Michael passes by overhead, he notices the lab's front door is open.

	"Now that's odd", Michael ponders. Suspecting that Bountymaster and Captura may be hiding inside the lab, Michael lands and makes his way inside it.

	Not too far away, Marcus and Mavis Lyon are walking into a haunted house.

	"I'm picking up some seriously ominous vibes from this place", Mavis muses, sounding worried.

	"I sense them too. Its like something extremely evil is in here", Marcus responds. The twins find themselves inexplicably drawn to the basement. Shivering, they descend down the stairs.

	Michael makes his way through the lab until he comes to another open door, which leads to a flight of stairs that descend downward.

	"I didn't know this place had a basement", Michael notes, "We must've missed it last time". Michael descends into the lab's basement unaware that, at the exact same time, Marcus and Mavis are heading into a basement not too far from where he is.

	Marcus and Mavis enter the haunted house's basement to discover a large number of spirits standing around, all chanting "Caligula!". The twins notice a hole in front of the basement's back wall and see a creepy-looking statue in the hole.

	"The ominous vibes are coming from that statue. I don't like this, let's get out of here", Mavis suggests,

	"If that statue is giving off those bad vibes, it must be evil. These ghosts act like they are worshiping it, or are possessed by whatever is making it give off those vibes. I say we destroy it. Hopefully, that'll free up those ghosts to move on", Marcus suggests. He looks around and finds a cache of dynamite in a corner. He also notices another door, leading into some kind of underground passage.

	"I'm gonna light up some of that dynamite and chuck it in the hole with that creepy statue. Then, the two of us will get out of here through that passage before the dynamite explodes" Marcus explains. He grabs a bundle of dynamite and extracts a box of matches from his pocket. He lights the dynamite and chucks it in the hole. The twins bolt into the passage and shut the door behind them.

	Michael enters the lab's basement and finds an open door leading into an underground passage. Not seeing anyone else in the basement, Michael heads into the underground passage. as he walks through it, Michael begins hearing what sounds like people running towards him from where ever the other end of the passage is. Michael takes off running towards the sound and, seconds later, two people plow into him, knocking all three of them to the floor.

	"Ow", Michael hears a male and female voice yell. A match lights up and Michael finds himself looking at Marcus and Mavis.

	"How did the two of you get down here?", Michael asks.

	"We investigated a haunted house and found a creepy statue in a hole in the basement that seemed to be controlling the house's ghosts, so Marcus chucked a keg of dynamite into the hole with it and we tore off down an underground passage leading away from the basement and bumped into you", Mavis explains in one breath. Seconds later, there's a loud explosion at the end of the passage that Marcus and Mavis came from and a door comes flying toward the three Superkids. Michael stands up and punches the door in half, and then they notice the end of the passage where the house is has caved in.

	The three Superkids make their way back to the lab and emerge from it to see a plume of smoke rising in the distance. A ghost soldier appears at the top of a hill. The three Superkids climb the hill and can see the house in the distance. A good chunk of it collapsed in the explosion.

	"You were fools to destroy Caligula's statue. Now, she will come. She will come to this world and bring great darkness with her", the ghost soldier warns. He vanishes, and another voice calls out to Marcus and Mavis from the bottom of the hill. It's a scientist ghost this time.

	"I for one am glad you destroyed that statue. When I was alive I lived in that house and worked in this lab. What me and my colleagues worked on was top secret, so we used underground passages to go back and forth between the lab and our respective homes. An earthquake damaged the basement and unearthed that statue. I quickly realized the statue was evil so I bought a large amount of dynamite and was gonna blow it up myself, but I died before I got the chance. The presence in that statue creeps me out, even as a ghost. I fled through the passage and decided to haunt the lab until I could find someone to finish what I had started and destroy the statue", the scientist ghost explains. Then, he too vanishes. Moments later, Sally comes rushing up to them.

	"We picked up a significant explosion in this area", Sally informs the other three Superkids. Michael, Marcus, and Mavis explain the whole situation to Sally.

	"I want to see that underground passage", Sally decides. The four Superkids head down to the lab's basement. as they approach the entrance to the underground passage, Sally notices another door ajar. She peeks inside and finds herself in a large room with a big round platform in the center. The other 3 Superkids follow her into the room.

	"I wonder if this room has to do with whatever top secret project that scientist ghost and his colleagues had been working on", Mavis ponders. The scientist ghost appears again, standing beside a control panel.

	"You can use this control panel to make this platform rise up above ground or sink down lower underground. My suggestion would be to go further underground. If this Caligula is a bad as the other ghosts say she is, you will need all the help you can get to defeat her. There's someone you may or may not know down below here who would help you", the scientist ghost explains. He then vanishes before either of the twins can ask him what he means. Marcus and Mavis fill Michael and Sally in on what the scientist ghost said.

	"If there's someone down there who can help us, I say we get down there right away", Michael suggests. He presses a button on the control panel and the platform descends into the ground.

	When the platform stops, the four Superkids find themselves in another laboratory. It looks the the lab was damaged in an earthquake some time ago, and someone has been trying to repair it. Sally notices a door labeled "Cryo Room". The window in the door appears to be completely fogged up. Sally grabs the door's handle but its locked, and ice cold to the touch.

	"Michael, can you bust down this door?", Sally asks. Michael tackles the door as hard as he can, and it flies open. The window, and a lot of ice, shatters from the impact. The four Superkids immediately notice a huge chunk of ice with what looks like a bunch of people frozen inside of it. They also notice a bunch of damaged cryo-chambers, with a skeleton at the foot of each of them.

	"Looks like someone tried to freeze themselves in those cryo-chambers, but the chambers were damaged. I'd guess they were damaged by whatever damaged the lab. We should be able to save the people who are trapped in this huge block of ice, though", Sally determines. She runs circles around the ice, using her friction to melt it. After a while, the melting ice begins to flood the room. Sally slips and falls before the ice has fully melted. Michael delivers a powerful punch to the remaining ice. The ice shatters and the seven people inside it tumble out, landing at the Superkids' feet.

	Over in Grandeur City, Felix lands a jet in his backyard. He had decided to fly down to his and Sally's house in Grandeur city and then make his way to where the explosion was detected. Tyler decided to ride with Felix out of boredom. Felix contacts Sally on his watch as soon as he and Tyler are off of the jet. He hears nothing but static on Sally's end. Worried, Felix morphs into a cheetah and zooms off with Tyler riding on his back, racing to the Laboratory as quickly as possible.

	Felix and Tyler arrive and find the lab's door is wide open. Felix gets a rather eerie feeling from the lab and surrounding areas, while Tyler gets the feeling that something lies within the lab that he really wants to find. Tyler rushes off into the lab without warning. Felix starts to follow him, but sees a dark shadow approaching them. The shadow leaps at Felix before he can even move.

	Tyler rushes through the lab and down into the basement. When he comes to the big opening in the ground where the platform had been, Tyler projects a force field around himself and jumps into the opening. When he reaches the platform at the bottom, his force field bounces off of it, flinging him into the room with the cryo-chambers. Upon recovering, Tyler realizes he is looking at the Child Star Enforcers. Tyler promptly faints.

	The Child Star Enforcers and Superkids make their way up and out of the lab. Sally carries Tyler on her back. She finds Felix waiting outside the lab, but something isn't right. His eyes are glowing red and there's a dark aura around him.

	"Caligula will conquer all. She cannot be stopped", Felix chants in a creepy, scary voice.

	"He's been possessed", Marcus and Mavis realize. Felix lunges at Sally, but a force field appears around her. She hears Tyler start to stir and sets him down. Felix bounces off the force field and goes flying backwards. GloryGirl, one of the Child Star Enforcers, approaches Felix. Her hands glow with light. She places them on Felix's chest and pulls a dark shadow out of him. She gives off a bright flash of light and the shadow disperses. Felix recovers and stands up.

	"What happened to me? I feel like I got hit by a truck", He asks, "And how are the Child Star Enforcers here?". Sally quickly explains everything that has happened, from the twins dynamiting a creepy statue, to finding the CSE frozen in an underground room.

	Everyone returns to Sally's and Felix's house in Grandeur City to find Norman Rayne, Julie Rayne, Pedro Chavez, and Daffney Versand waiting for them. Sally and Felix tell them everything that happened at the Laboratory and the haunted house over the hill from it.

	"Why don't we Superkids have superhero monikers like the CSE do?" Tyler asks.

	"I guess because we've never had the time to think up monikers for ourselves", Sally responds.

	"No time like the present", Starbright remarks, "my superhero moniker is Starbright because I have the power to manipulate celestial energy. I'm also trained in ninjutsu, so I have a habit of shaping said energy into stars to chuck at my enemies". The Superkids all begin trying to think up superhero monikers for themselves.

	"When I built my dragon armor, my friends jokingly nicknamed me "Dragonian", so I might as well use that as my superhero moniker", Michael decides.

	"I'll go with BlitzGirl", Sally decides.

	"Felinis for me", Felix adds.

	"I'll go with Stormfront", Norman adds.

	"I'll choose Beacon as my moniker", Julie decides.

	"I choose Vector", Marcus decides.

	"I'll go with Spectra", Mavis adds.

	"Spy Guy sounds nice", Pedro adds.

	"I can't think of any real good monikers that go with my power, so i'll just settle for Fluffy", Daffney decides. Pedro laughs for a minute, the decides Fluffy is a cute moniker for Daffney.

	"I'll call myself Enforcer", Tyler adds.

	"Mind if I take the hero name Psycess", Molly adds, "its short for Psychic Princess". No one had seen Molly arrive, but they assure her she picked a good moniker.

	"Molly is our older brother's daughter, making her our niece", Marcus and Mavis explain, "Unfortunately, our older brother died while on a D.A.N.G. mission, so we ended up taking care of Molly. when he was alive, our older brother lived with Molly in the ruins of a castle in a place that was called Scotland before the Muclear Apocalypse. Molly thought of her dad as a king, and thinks of herself as a princess, because they lived in a castle".

	"I'd love a chance to take down the creeps that killed my father", Molly explains, "They called themselves Bountymaster and Captura. they attacked our castle, and said it had some kind of jewels buried in it's ruins. Daddy was away on a mission, and I was too scared to fight back. I don't know if they ever found the jewels they were looking for, but they eventually left. The next thing I heard was that they had killed my father".

	"We've been looking for Bountymaster and Captura ourselves", Michael tells Molly, "We recently took down a crime boss that those two were working for, but they evaded capture.

	"If and when you find them, I want first crack at them", Molly insists.

	"Right now we need to focus on finding out who or what this Caligula thing is, what it wants, and how to stop it", Marcus and Mavis point out.

	"Daddy found the remains of an old library inside our castle. I remember reading the name "Caligula" in a really scary book while going through the shelves", Molly reveals.

	"Sounds like should bust out one of the UFOs we used back when we all first came together", Sally suggests. She runs to the D.A.N.G. base in what was once Area 51 and retrieves one of five flying saucer spaceships the Superkids keep stored there. she flies back to Granduer City and beams up the other Superkids and the CSE, then heads across the Atlantic Ocean to the ruins of what was once Scotland.

	"Down there", Molly yells, "That's our castle". She points at a structure high up on a hill. You can tell it used to be a castle, but parts of it have crumbled away over the years. one of the towers in the back has fallen down and lies in pieces in the courtyard, and the other back tower is covered in vines. The two front towers are still mostly in tact. The moat is bone-dry and the drawbridge is down.

	"The mechanism that controls the drawbridge rusted up a long time ago. As a result, we can't bring the drawbridge back up to close it.", Molly explains. The Superkids land the UFO in the courtyard and let Molly lead them into the castle. After going down a couple hallways and a flight of stairs, Molly leads them into a big, open room full of bookshelves. A ghost knight in shining armor appears to Marcus and Mavis.

	"If ye be seeking knowledge of the demoness Caligula, ye best look in that big purple book in the corner", the ghost knight tells them. He points to the back right corner of the room, where a thick purple book is sitting by itself on a shelf. The ghost knight vanishes and Marcus retrieves the book.

	"That's the book I came across that mentioned Caligula", Molly tells them. Marcus opens the book and sees that it is a guide to various supernatural and paranormal beings. He turns to the chapter about Caligula.

	"Caligula is a demoness who is imprisoned in a pocket dimension. She was first conjured into our world back during medieval times, right here in what was called Scotland, by a witch who wished to de-throne the country's king. The king called forth a powerful wizard who defeated the witch and turned Caligula to stone. Several hundered years later, the statue of Caligula was stolen from Scotland and taken to America on board the Mayflower. Indians then stole it from the pilgrims. Indian witch doctors found a way to free Caligula from the statue, but quickly had to re-imprison her to prevent her from shrouding the world in darkness and causing untold devastation. They trapped Caligula in a pocket dimension, sealed the portal to this pocket dimension within the statue, and buried the statue where no one would ever find it", Marcus reads aloud.

	"That must have been the statue we blew up. we need to get back to that haunted house and find a way to seal up that portal before Caligula comes through it", Mavis realizes. The Superkids and CSE return to the UFO and rush back to America. They land right outside what's left of the haunted house where the twins destroyed the statue. Ominous black fog is flowing from the house. A large amount of rubble blocks their way to the basement.

	"BlitzGirl and Psycess, clear the rubble", Michael shouts, "Felinis and Stormfront, standby for battle". The Superkids look at him strangely, then realize they forgot about the superhero monikers they'd pick out for themselves.

	"Who made you the boss of our team?", Sally asks Michael.

	"I'm just trying to act like Starbright. our team needs a leader and I am the oldest", Michael explains.

	"Vector and Spectra are our best hope for stopping Caligula if she makes it into our world", Sally points out.

	"Don't forget about me", GloryGirl adds.

	"The Child Star Enforcers have you Superkids' backs", Starbright reminds them. Molly and Sally quickly move away enough rubble, giving Marcus and Mavis a path down to the basement. The twins open the basement door and are quickly sent flying backwards. Molly stops them in midair and sets them down on the ground. A hideous creature emerges from the basement. Standing at about 40 feet tall, the creature has jet black skin, huge black wings, clawed hands and feet, and a skeletal body and head. The creature spreads its wings and soars into the sky. As she flies away, a cloud of darkness forms and expands until it fills the sky as far as the eye can see.

	"I'd say Caligula made it into our world", Michael remarks. The Superkids and CSE watch as Caligula flies eastward. Sally approaches Michael

	"Dragonian", she remarks.

	"What do you want Blitzgirl?",  Michael asks.

	"This superhero moniker thing is weird. We aren't used to it and its just not our style. It's also messing up our teamwork. You have us trying to be like the Child Star Enforcers and we aren't the Child Star Enforcers. Let's just use our regular names and let the CSE have the superhero monikers. We cant be something we're not", Sally explains.

	"Well I'm keeping my superhero name even if you don't wanna use it", Molly insists.

	"I second that", Tyler adds, "Being a big CSE fan, I've always wanted my own superhero name". Tyler and Molly cant help staring at each other.

	"Okay we'll ditch the superhero monikers. We still have to stop Caligula", Michael decides.

	"According to the map on my spy watch, Caligula is heading for Scotland", Felix announces.

	"She's probably going to daddy's castle", Molly suggests.

	"I know someone who may be able to help us", Sally declares, "i'll go and fetch them. The rest of you head to Scotland and keep Caligula busy". Sally runs off, heading north. Everyone else flies to Scotland in the UFO.

	Sally runs all the way to Alaska. Despite it being really cold, the friction of her speed makes the snow melt as she runs through it. she arrives at a house where a boy and girl are waiting for her.

	"Jack Breacher and Bonnibelle Arkbright, we need your help to stop a demoness before she shrouds the world in darkness and causes untold devastation", Sally explains.

	"I told you to call me Bonnie, Saladora", the girl remarks, "anyway, I doubt i'd be able to hypnotize a demoness".

	"Actually, its more Jack's help that I need", Sally explains, "Caligula was originally imprisoned in a pocket dimension. I was hoping Jack could put her back in there".

	"I can try", Jack decides, "Where is the demoness at right now?".

	"She's in Scotland" Sally answers. Jack opens a wormhole and the three of them step through it.

	The UFO arrives at the castle almost at the same time as Caligula arrives there. The Superkids and CSE disembark from the UFO and confront Caligula.

	"Give me the book", She hisses. A ball of dark energy forms in her hand and she throws it at the Superkids and Child Star Enforcers. both teams dodge the blast, but it hits the UFO and sends it flying down the hill.

	"Caligula must want the book we read about her in", Molly realizes. She runs into the castle to retrieve the book. Everyone else throws everything they've got at Caligula. Sungirl shoots fire. Freeze Frame shoots ice. Starbright throws glowing stars of light, and Julie uses her light powers to do the same. Felix morphs into a lion and, with Turnbuckle riding on his back, leaps at Caligula. Turnbuckle leaps off Felix's back and punches Caligula as hard as he can. Caligula doesn't even flinch, and effortlessly flings Felix and Turnbuckle through the air. A wormhole opens and Sally emerges from it along with Jack and Bonnie.

	"I'm not sure I can get something that big into a wormhole", Jack comments after getting a glimpse of Caligula.

	"Give it your best shot", Sally suggests. At that moment, Caligula starts blasting the castle with her dark energy blasts. Marcus and Mavis rush inside to find Molly. Before anyone else can follow them, one of Caligula's blasts causes a bunch of rubble to fall down in front of the entrance, blocking them from following the twins. Turnbuckle lifts up the biggest boulder he can find and chucks it at Caligula, but she disintegrates it with another dark energy blast. Jack attempts to open up a wormhole directly behind Caligula, but she notices what he's doing and fires a dark energy blast at him. Turnbuckle leaps in front of Jack and takes the full force of the energy blast. Caligula next attempts to blast Julie and GloryGirl, but they respond with light blasts that cancel out Caligula's dark blasts. Norman zaps Caligula with lightning and attempts to freeze her with a blizzard. She breaks out of the ice with ease. Norman tries to trap Caligula in a tornado next, but she's too heavy for the tornado to lift. Caligula hits Norman with a dark energy blast, knocking him out just like she knocked Turnbuckle out.

	Marcus and Mavis reach the library and find Molly reading something in the book.

	"The page after the stuff we read about Caligula has a spell that can be used to banish Caligula back to the pocket dimension", Molly explains, "This must be why Caligula wants this book. We have to find a way to cast this spell".

	"First we have to get out of this castle. Caligula caved in the entrance so its blocked", Mavis explains. The three of them leave the library behind and look for another way out.

	Felix recovers and morphs into a tiger. He leaps at Caligula, but she hits him with a dark energy blast in midair. The impact hurdles him through the air and into the window of one of the castle's towers, and forces him back to human form. Felix quickly recovers, but rather than attack Caligula again, he decides to head down into the castle and meet up with Marcus, Mavis, and Molly. Dupli-Kate AND GamerMan take their turns to attack Caligula, but before they can do much of anything, Caligula knocks them out with her dark energy blasts. Sally runs circles around Caligula to distract her while Jack continues trying to open a big enough wormhole to pull Caligula in. Bonnibelle, despite what she told Sally earlier, decides to try and hypnotize Caligula. At first Caligula seems to fall under Bonnie's spell, but it quickly becomes apparent that Caligula is able to resist it. Bonnie ultimately collapses from the strain of trying to hypnotize Caligula.

	"You are a fool to think you can hypnotize me", Caligula taunts. She fires a dark energy blast at the collapsed Bonnie. Sally rushes in its path just in time and takes the blast, getting knocked out in the process. Caligula turns her attention to Jack, and notices a force field around him. Tyler is standing beside Jack as he tries to open a wormhole. Caligula fires a dark energy blast at them, but Tyler's force field withstands it.

	Inside the castle, Felix finally catches up to Marcus, Mavis, and Molly.

	"There's a spell in the book that can banish Caligula", Marcus explains. The four of them make their was to the blocked entrance and Molly levitates the rubble away. she hurtles it at Caligula, but the demoness easily deflects it with a dark energy blast. GloryGirl approaches them and Molly tells her about the spell in the book. Glorygirl takes the book and starts to chant the spell, but Caligula fires a dark energy blast at her. Tyler drops his current force field and rushes over to put one around GloryGirl. Caligula redirects her energy blast to Tyler, catching him off guard and knocking him out. Next, the demoness blasts the book out of GloryGirl's hands. The book bursts into flames.

	"The book's destroyed", Glorygirl shouts, "Its all up to you Jack". Jack increases the size of his wormhole and it starts to pull Caligula toward it. Caligula fights back and pulls herself away from the wormhole. Molly attempts to immobilize Caligula with her psychic powers, but the demoness easily breaks free from them.

	"We need more power, but most of our allies are knocked out", Marcus yells in frustration.

	"We'll think of something", Mavis assures him. It's then that the twins notice ghosts appearing around castle in large numbers.

	"Great, now Caligula has friends to help her", Marcus remarks.

	"I don't think they came to help Caligula", Mavis responds. The ghosts approach, not Caligula, but the twins.

	"We heard your call for help", one of the ghosts explains. Marcus and Mavis then notice all the ghosts seems to be bowing down to them. Marcus and Mavis are dumbstruck. They've never been able to summon ghosts before, only communicate with ones that are already there.

	"We in the spirit world have long wanted to end the threat of Caligula. Since you have been a big help to those of use stuck in your world, and you also oppose Caligula, we have come to your aid", another ghost explains.

	"Can you guys force Caligula into that wormhole?" Marcus asks the ghosts.

	"Consider it done", a ghost responds. The whole army of ghosts rush Caligula and force her towards the wormhole. Caligula continues putting up a fight, but Julie and Glorygirl add their light powers into the fray. Felix rushes over to Sally and manages to rouse her. The two of them watch as the twins and their ghost army slowly force Caligula into the wormhole.

	"I will not be defeated by a bunch of children", Caligula shouts.

	"Sorry, but its "lights out" for you", Julie responds as she delivers the final blow: a fist of light right to Caligula's face, hurtling Caligula deep into the wormhole. Jack quickly closes the wormhole. Sally rushes around and rouses everyone that got knocked out. The ghosts approach the twins.

	"If you ever need us again, just call", they assure the twins. The ghosts then vanish one by one.

	The Superkids and the Child Star Enforcers return to the Blitzers' house in Grandeur City. The Child Star Enforcers decide to travel to what's left of Hollywood and try to salvage what they can from what's left of their secret headquarters. Tyler approaches them as they prepare to leave

	"Is it okay if I join you guys? I've been a big CSE fan for most of my life", Tyler asks.

	"You should probably ask your team's "leader" if you can switch teams", Starbright remarks, pointing at Michael.

	"First of all, I only made myself the Superkids' leader because i'm the oldest. In truth, Sally and Felix should be the leaders because they were the ones that brought us all together in the first place. As far as Tyler is concerned, he can do whatever he wants", Michael responds.

	"Let's not worry about who should be leader. we're all equal here", Felix suggests.

	"You coming, Tyler?", Starbright asks.

	"you know I am", Tyler remarks, "And please call me Enforcer". The CSE and Tyler fly north in a UFO, which Sally had retrieved from the Area 51 D.A.N.G. base and given to them. The Superkids watch as the CSE disappear into the distance. Once the CSE are gone, Marcus and Mavis step away from the other Superkids and head towards their spirit board airship.

	"It's time we got going too. there's other haunted locations out there with ghosts that need our help", Mavis tells the other Superkids.

	"I'm coming with you", Molly shouts as she rushes up to the twins.

	"Works for me", Marcus remarks. the three of them board the airship and fly away. The other Superkids wave to them as they lift off. Once the spirit board airship is out of sight, the remaining Superkids head back inside, closing the door behind them.
