Di-Gata Defenders

Notes from the Underground (2x11)

Air date: Nov 18, 2007

K'Tash takes one look at the Orb of Ogama-Yan before leaving. Just then, Kara sneaks in and replaces the orb with a stone in fear of traps, and leaves. Meanwhile, Mel furiously tries again with her wizard stones. When she puts them in Seth's hands, they activate, directing them to a desert. Elsewhere, Malco discovers that the orb is missing, so he seeks out Kor Yin-an, the Yan-nega wizard who tried to betray the Wizards of Yan to the Ethos and was imprisoned in a state of permanent undeath.
