S02E12 - The Horn of Neglos

Lady K'Tash once again plays a foul trick on the Defenders. She awakens the giant golem, Atagor-Am and implants a Champion stone to merge with Seth's right hand, hampering his abilities to cast spells and his health. The Defenders search for Brackus, who may hold the key to removing the stone. After traveling to a desert town in search of him, a merchant tells them of another healer: Adaham. They come to the place where the healer was supposed to be but finds that this magical healer is a phony and was actually Adam. He is enjoying his life of luxury with his new girl. Mel doesn't seem to care that much but wants him not to be such a coward. Meanwhile Atagor-Am traces the Defenders down and attacks them. Adam tries to run away but Mel stops him. Seth is annoyed at this and remarks that they don't need him. He tries to cast Twisted Chaos, but it ends up as a miscast and hits Mel. The stone in Seth's hand draws the giant over to him in an attack but Mel steps in front of Seth and her amulet shows. Atagor-Am refers to her as Gatanou, confusing everyone. He breaks out of his memory callback and grabs Adam. Brackus was also in town, but was meeting with Flinch, about plans to overthrow Malco's order by reclaiming the parts to the Celestial Abyss and using it against the Ethos once more. Then Brackus would assert himself as the one, true ruler of RaDos. Atagor-Am destroys the pub the two were in and Brackus sees Adam in danger. He comes running and turns the giant into sand. Brackus explains that the giant will reform and always follow then due to the stone. one time he prayed amongst the town searching for a suitable host body for his bride. The only way he can be destroyed is in the Horn of Neglos. The Defenders, Brackus and Adam head to the cave but Atagor-Am reforms and attacks them, knocking all of them of their stormers. He grabs Mel and disappears into the sand as she throws the Phase Stone. Adam yells her name as she is swallowed with the giant into the desert floor. Mel awakens in a cave and is chained to an arch. A coffin belonging to a woman (who oddly looks likes like her) below her in a ledge. Atagor-Am chants the woman's name and a mask levitates onto Mels face. Meanwhile, Erik traces Mel to the horn of Neglos. Brackus says he fears that Atagor-Am has found a host for his bride and Rion explains "He wants to marry Mel!" Seth and Adam look at each other and say "No Way" as Adam then speeds ahead in concern. As the defenders arrive, they see the spirit of Gatanou is about to possess Mel. Mel is unable to summon Draykor, as a guard is locked onto her amulet. Adam rushes ahead trying to distract the giant but is thrown away. He looks back at Mel and once again yells her name in concern as the other catch up. They engage battle once more with the giant. But this time, the creature had a weakness - it needed the urns (which contained his spiritual essence) to be intact, or it would be destroyed. It was also able to summon a guardian from the stone fused into Seth's hand to protect its weakness from Rion and Erik. Seth and Adam try to free Mel but the effort failed. Seth then discovers that the energies found within the Champion Stone are equal to that of the creatures they were facing. Brackus told him he could not remove the stone without damaging Seth's body. Seth had no choice but to accept the consequences. Brackus then uses Devastation of Infinis to turn Seth's right hand into stone as an act of revenge for stopping him from destroying Nazmul. Rion ends up destroying the urns with Argent Warrior. Adam rushed into Mel and her chains break as both fell on the floor. Adam again on top of her said "You know people are going to talk". Disgusted, Mel pushed him off and rushed to Seth. Erik, enraged, grabs Brackus and asks him what did he do. Seth told him that he ordered Brackus to do what needed to be done. And with that he shows the Mel,Erik,Adam and Rion what he ordered Brakus to do to his arm. They all gasp in horror as they see that Seth's arm is now stone
