Di-Gata Defenders

Malco Redux (2x7)

: 21, 2007

The Ethos emissaries use their power to merge with Malco giving him a tainted color and purple sigil designs. When he is accidentally Flinch, he speaks for the first time. Meanwhile, the Defenders try to find the cause of why Rion turns dark incarnate. Melosa discovers the existence of an old monastery at Yan-Suma where the Wizards of Yan first banished the Ethos at an old quarry filled with flat stones. Given a riddle and staff from a cloaked old man, the Defenders discover the monastery with a disk from Aaron and the Warrior Henge. After defeating a caterpillar-like creature by destroying the mirrors around it, they are attacked by Malco and Flinch. Rion gets impaled by shrapnel, forcing Erik to take him back to Brackus. Seth and Mel proceed while Omnikragg holds off Malco. They discover the Orb of Ogama-Yan that, if aligned with five other Yan objects, can protect Rados from the Dark Realm. However, Malco attacks again and holds Seth above a bottomless well to get the orb. As he throws the two into the well, the monastery crumbles around them. The two survive thanks to the staff and walk into a tunnel, not knowing the old man was following them, showing that he has sharp teeth.
