S01E26 - Ethos

The Order of Infinis is now a wreck and the Defenders have refused to recast the spell of Binding as it would have destroyed the planet. The pure stones have been destroyed by the pressure from releasing the Megalith. Seth orders the other Defenders to head to a nearby farm to recharge their stones while he sees what they're up against. Not too far from the place of binding a young boy with white hair watches as the Defenders evacuate the spell zone and sees the Megalith escaping from its prison. The Megalith senses the presence of its master in the Nova Stone and tries to destroy Seth for containing his power. The Defenders find shelter with a kind old woman but is soon taken over by the Megalith. Seth soon battles the Megalith in this form and separates him from Kragus who is now very low of energy. Seeing the bond between Seth and Kragus, Omniaxor merges his spirit with Kragus pledging "I alone could not save the father, together we may be able to save the son", giving Seth a new guardian. The Megalith then tells Seth that it is seeking energy in Arboth, thankfully Melosa is able to cure the old woman with her Wizard Powers. The Defenders reach Arboth quickly using Flinch's teleportation system. Here the Megalith is now ready to fight the Defenders and is able to knock Eric unconscious. Seth, Mel and Adam are able to hold of the Megalith with some of their spells while Seth's new guardian Omnikragg finds pleasure in taking on the beast. Kara believes that without a fourth defender they are unable to form the warrior hedge but Seth replies that they have a fourth defender -Adam. Kara says they must channel the energy through her. They almost succeed but it to much power for Kara as the Megalith takes Kara and is ready to swallow her energy making it invincible. But Seth tries to channel the Nova Stone's energy into Kara, even though it could destroy Kara. Seth casts the power into Kara and unleashes a burst of energy strong enough to destroy the Megalith. Eric soon regains consciousness and saves Kara from being crushed by the Megalith's carcass. The Defenders see the body vanish from Rados and release its energy back into the realm. Seth states that it is over, but the young boy from earlier arrives and disagrees saying its only beginning. The boy then brings Alnar forth, introducing the boy as Rion. Alnar soon explains that long ago the Wizards of Yan defeated an evil far greater than the Megalith. They were called the Ethos and they were banished to a world called the dark realm and because of this the Megalith was born. Alnar also says that Rion is the key to defeating the Ethos as it is now up to the six defenders to defeat these creatures as their emissaries are already back in Rados. The emissaries soon are at the portal to the dark realm and give Zad a shift stone saying he knows what to do, and the Ethos laugh.
