Dark Rising

Nathan Mallstrom, during a routine shift deep in Clean El Mines, finds The Tether, an ancient artifact believed to be the original link between this Earth and Dark Earth. When The Tether transfers its power to him he finds himself teleported to the Demon World and back again, bringing some unwanted visitors with him. Summer Vale and Bluo arrive to save the day but are left with more questions than answers. They try to explain to Nathan exactly how his new powers will affect his life and the responsibility they brings.

On the run from Nacelle and Rosemary, Nathan heads into town to seek his sisters help. Ending up cornered by Rosemary, Nathan is aided by Davidath who is injured in the confrontation. While Summer battles Rosemary, Davidath is brought to Gwen's Clinic to try to save his life, where he reveals he has something for Summer; The Trankartak. An ancient black sword that steals the life force of it's victims and grants it to it's wielder, Summer soon has to put her new weapon to the test.

After placing a protective shield around Gwen's Clinic, Nathan finds out he may need some help with his new powers. Bulo offers a trip to see an old friend who might be able to help, Weeber. When removing The Tether doesn't work, Weeber thinks of a way for Nathan to control it instead and not a second too late as the team has to go on a hunt without Summer.

Summer discovers her true origin and comes to terms with the role she must play in stopping Sckraab and his minions.

The team is still dealing with the hard hit Sckraab just dealt them, but they pull together to devise a plan to bring all of this to an end. Summe rhas a final showdown with Rosemary, and Nathan visits Nacelle and Sckraab at the mine for the battle of a lifetime. When Nathan is captured, Aramas reveals the "real plan" to Summer.
