Synopsis[]
All five Princesses of Ephedia finally take part in the final battle against Lord Gramorr, while twins Mephisto and Praxina undergo some changes that will permanently affect them.
Plot[]
The final battle for Planet Ephedia, where Iris has to say good-bye to Nathaniel but before she leaves he gives her a bouquet of irises saying he doesn't want her to leave but Iris gets on her toes and whispers "this isn't the end I promise." she looks at him one last time and heads back inside. Iris, Talia and Auriana are about to go to Ephedia to look for the last gem, no thanks to Mephisto who cast a spell that diverted the last gem from returning to the crown. They are all in the library and stand under the giant clear crystal then they are transported to Ephedia to help the resistance look for the gem. They all stand looking at a map trying to figure out where it is when Iris as a good idea. she tries to find it using her emotions and Talia gives a spell to use to find it, "Crystal Augeo" Talia knows where it is; "It's there. In the Voltan Forest." but little did they know it was a ambush, once the girls see it Mephisto knocks Iris off her feet and takes the last gem and Praxina uses a spell to trap Princess Talia's and Princess Auriana's hands to the rock wall and Amaru's hooves to the ground.
After taking possession of the Crown, Gramorr launches an attack at the Temple of Andrak to enslave all of Ephedia. Princess Talia tries to stop him using her elder sister's transformation medallion, but fails as Lord Gramorr uses telekinesis to lift her and throw it off the cliff into a forest. He then launches a dark crystal attack, when Princess Carissa and Princess Lyna jump in and save them, giving them a twofold power boost. The pair launches the combined high-level Crystal Quinta spell against Lord Gramorr, but it does no damage to him as the Crown's immense magical power have increased his own drastically. Impatient, Gramorr send them flying against the temple and then crushes the temple on top of the quintet. Enraged, Amaru tries to get revenge, but is shot down by Praxina.
Furious that her best friends are injured and Gramorr taking joy in the ordeal, Iris channels her enhanced Shanila powers and battles Lord Gramorr on-on-one in a magical tug-of-war. In the struggle, a shockwave of their combined energy beams breaks the crystal and it was coming down on Praxina, but Mephisto knocks her out of the way, killing him when it explodes, and the cliff falls, sending Praxina into the forest. Taking advantage of the situation, Gramorr was able to overpower Iris, but before the blast connected, the remaining 4, including Amaru, shielded her. Iris then got the upper hand when she took her mother's magical crown back, which in turn leaves Lord Gramorr greatly weakened to a direct attack by all five.
The five magical princesses then launches their most powerful attack and defeats Gramorr, freeing the Castle and Iris' parents in the process. Praxina is seen not wanting to give up searching for the presumably deceased Mephisto, when Banes comes and presents the second half of Gramorr's mask in which uses her desire for revenge and possesses her. After a joyful reunion at the castle, Praxina proclaims that she will seek revenge on Iris' friends and acquaintances on Earth and goes off on her mission.
Nathaniel stops on Iris' front porch, hoping she has not left yet, but he knew she was, until Iris shows up behind him, with her proclaiming that she may not have to leave at all. Nathaniel gives Iris a promise ring and the two embrace. Joyful to be back on Earth, the trio sings "Reach the Stars" at a LoliRock concert. Afterwards, we see Praxina in Sunny Bay again, swearing bitter, coldhearted vengeance on Crown Princess Iris and her new family and Earth acquaintances in retribution for losing her twin brother who had perished in the act of shielding her. She is set on making High Princess Iris just as miserable as she is by going after the one person Princess Iris truly cares about most in the entire world.
