The army marches towards Mt. Heill, as they march on, they start to notice the ecosystem around them is dying. The grass goes from being green to a yellowish brown color and the trees go from full bloom to leaves falling off of them and the smell of death consumes the air around them.
"What is that terrible smell?" Victoria asks as she begins choking on the air around her.
"Death. Mt. Heill is close." Aego says
As they're walking along, the trees and grass start to die away and replacing them is nothing but an ash like field which leads up to a volcano.
"I'm guessing that's Mount Heill." Jeffers comments"Yep" Savr replies
This dark figure then walks out of this cave on the top of the mountain in full knightly armor.
"And I'm guessing that's D'vron." Jeffers comments again
"Yep." Savr answers
Victoria then says
"I have to kill him? He doesn't look so tough."
D'vron who is standing a great distance away raises his hand completely open and then instantly closes it into a fist and slams his fist into the ground with great force shaking the ground around the mountain.
"What the hell is that?" Victoria asks
"Trolls" Aego says
Then out of every crevice of the mountain pours countless Trolls.
"Battle formations men!" Savr shouts
The soldiers then get into formations to combat the amount of Trolls headed for them. The sheer number of them charging shakes the ground. Each and every soldier places their shield in front of them and their spear is ready for stabbing. They create a wall.
Savr passes a shield to Jeffers and a crossbow to Victoria saying
"You get the shield and the girl stays behind you and shoots!"
"Ok!" Both of them shout
Both Jeffers and Victoria get off of their horses and join the phalanx.

Meanwhile the Dibits is still stuck in the same field it has been stuck in for the whole time with Beta, Curipher and Yellow still on the bridge trying to contact someone from the Stellar Odyssey universe again. Then suddenly Broderick comes over the telecomm saying
"There's a visitor at the ship's bay doors Beta."
"Captain Beta." Beta says
"Sorry, Captain Beta lesser to Captain Jeffers." Broderick replies
"Better. Now who's at the door?"
"Some guy bearded guy dressed in some purple robes. He says his name is Vilox."
"Access denied." Beta says
"Alright sir." Broderick says
Broderick tells Vilox to leave but Vilox insists that he needs to see the Captain.
"I need to see the Captain, it is imperative that I see him." Vilox says
"Captain denied you access, sorry sir." Broderick says over the loudspeaker
"Uh" Vilox sighs as he opens the palm of his hand and a fireball forms in it.
"Then you leave me no choice." He says
"Sorry sir you have to Lea- Wait what!" Broderick says as Vilox throws the fireball into the bay door causing it to explode.
Inside the Dibits people are going crazy as a red light flashes and an alarm sounds. At the bridge Beta shouts over the telecom
"Broderick what's going on! Broderick! Broderick!"
As Vilox makes his way through the hallway he meets some of the Dibits security team who try to stop him.
"Hands where I can see them!" shouts one of the Security team members as she aims her blaster at his face.
"Look I just want to see the Captain." Vilox says
"No chance of that happening," she says. She shoots Vilox in the chest with the blaster and he stumbles to the ground.
"Ah! That's it!" He says
He blasts the girl in front of him and she goes flying across the room and lands on the floor unconscious.
He then walks forward as other members of the Security team try to engage him, he blasts each and every one of them.
As he gets closer to the bridge the Security team members hide behind walls to try to ambush him.
Vilox is wise to their scheme and throws one of his beakers full of magic and the ground shouting.
"Osh etep algarka!"
The spell then attracts the blasters from the attackers and pulls it from their hands.
"What the hell was that?" One of the members asks
"I have no idea." The commander answers
The guns then quickly fly back at them with great force hitting them in the head and knocking them all unconscious.
"Well that takes care of that." Vilox says
As he makes it to the door to the bridge he blasts it open.
When it's open what he finds Beta panicking in the Captain's chair try to ask for reinforcements, with Curipher with a laser pistol in his hand and Yellow with an electric baton.
"I mean you no harm, I can help you."
"I think the Security team begs to differ." Yellow comments
"It was self defense. I can restart your failed engine." Vilox says
"How do you know?" Curipher says as Vilox interrupts him with
"Doesn't matter. I can use magic to restart your engine." Vilox says
"Could that work?" Beta asks
"It's worth a shot." Curipher comments.

Back at the battle the Trolls charge at the phalanx with the ground still shaking.
"Loose the bows!" Savr shouts
Victoria, Syndra, Jhaan, Conall and the other archers fire their crossbows and thousands of sharp arrows launch into the horde of sleek blackness killing countless Trolls. One troll jumps and lands just on the other side of the phalanx shield and mutilated the guy holding the shield. It sinks its sharp claws into his chest and rips it open. It is then stabbed through the face with a spear.
The other Trolls continue to rush towards the phalanx as the men put their spears out in between their shields. The Trolls collide with the spears inpaling themselves sending black goo everywhere.
"Gross." Victoria says
She reloads the crossbow and shoots one of the Trolls killing it.
The Trolls navigate through the spears and make it to the shields. The men then draw back their weapons and start to stab the Trolls at close range.
Aego who is more of a sword user rushes into the horde of Trolls and begins hacking away at them on his own.
"Die, you feral beast." He says as he hacks away at them killing one after another.

D'vron looking out over his army of savage Trolls says
"All is going according to plan. Now time for phase two!" He shouts as he stomps the ground and the volcano begins to erupt. Spewing Maga and rocks all over the place. Steam shoots out of the top of the mountain and comes down with tremendous speed. It's so hot it vaporizes the Trolls when it hits them and it engulfs part of the Sauldarians flank.
"Oh my God!" Victoria shouts as she sees it take out a rather sizable portion of the phalanx.
"Dammit!" Savr shouts

Meanwhile in the cave Heidi is still sawing away at her restraints though now she is in a hurry because the mountain is blowing up.
"Come on, snap." She says
"I don't want to die." She says
As the temperature in the cave continuously rises. Heidi begins sweating profusely.
It finally snaps and when she's free she stumbles around trying to walk.
"Dammit, I've been sitting down for so long. My legs are asleep."
She pulls herself up on the cauldron and uses that to stand.
"I gotta get out of here. But first I'll let the blood rush to my legs real quick." She says,
Then Horman the Spellcaster walks in, seeing that she's free he says
"Hey! How did you get out?!"
Heidi is frightened that she has been caught.
"Get back in your restraints." Horman demands
"No!" Heidi shouts
"Then I'll just have to kill you." Horman says as a fireball forms in his hand.
Heidi looks around and sees some spell bottles similar to the ones in Vilox's house, she then grabs one and breaks it using the broken glass as a weapon.
"Bring it." She says
