The episode starts with Darkstorm grumbling about how he has to travel to Iron Mountain in order to recharge their powers. Whilst grumbling to Mortdredd they remember that they have a wizard in their dungeon, Falkama (captured in the third episode). Falkama tells them of a powerful book, known as the Omnipoticron which can be found in the Athenaeum. If they can get that and Merklynn's orb then they will gain the power to defeat Merklynn.
Falkama then takes the Darkling Lords to the Athenaeum and they managed to collect the book, although it is guarded by a dragon called Smallog. After gaining the book Falkama informs Darkstorm that they need some wizardsbane, although he knows exactly where to find it.
The scene changes to New Valarak where Leoric and Witterquick are trying to settle some civic disputes before Witterquick barges in and informs them that the Darkling Lords are heading for the city. As the Spectral Knights go to stop them, they notice that the Darkling Lords are being rather obvious, and also surrender rather easily. This was all part of Darkstorm's plan, to get Merklynn out of the shrine (as he knew that Merklynn would help them escape again). Darkstorm then uses the wizardsbane on Merklynn in order to take his orbe, however that is not the end. When Falkama appears Darkstorm also zaps him as well sending both the wizards to the Wizards Gaol.
Darkstorm then uses magic to escape and freeze the Spectral Knights, allowing the other Darkling Lords to escape and make their way to Iron Mountain. When they arrive they are not best pleased with Darkstorm and start to make demands of him. Darkstorm fakes concern and casts spells on those who made the demands (Virulina, Rekkon and Lexor). Darkstorm then shows his loyal knights what he can do for them before chanting a spell never chanted before. As soon as he does he learns to regret it, as he causes the end of the world.
First up was the Plague of the Ground, followed by Apocalypse Rises, The Plague of Fire, The Rise of Vermin, The Innundation and the Time of Darkness.
Lexor, Rekkon and Virulina then return, to get revenge on Darkstorm, but they all end up fleeing from the Plague of Fire. After they flee from all the plagues up to The Innundation they finally make it to the Wizards Gaol, where Darkstorm begs Merklynn for his help.
Merklynn then explains that the Sacred-Secret-Spell was designed to stop mortals from using the wizards powers to destroy, and that it will always result in the mortal giving the power back to the wizard. During this the other wizards escape from the Gaol
