SE01E13 - A Marvelous Phantasy - CROSSOVER
General Summary
The Millennium Marvels, having rescued one Rochelle Carter, find that she is catatonic. In order to try to deal with this, the Millennium Marvels send a message through the number provided by Phantasy Inc. The next morning, Hans finds an envelope sitting on the doormat outside the manor's main entrance. He hands this to Úlfhéðnar, who opens it to find:
The Millennium Marvels meet up in the infirmary where Rochelle Carter lies in a catatonic state and discuss the letter. Eventually, they decide to head to St Dymphna's Asylum, terraporting to just oustide the grounds. They enter the gate, approaching the main door, on which Úlfhéðnar knocks. They wait for response. Úlfhéðnar refuses to pass the key to Lady Liberty, who wants to use it on the main door. They stand there for some time before entering through the unlockerd door.
Within the Library of Dreams , Grimm is informed by the book that his guests have arrived. The book shows him, in images, what the group are doing. Eventually, he steps out the Library of Dreams, out into the grounds of the Asylum. The Marvels hear the foor slam shut behind them. Djinn opens the door to look into the strange visage of Grimm. After some conversation,the key is used and the group as a whole enter the Library of Dreams.
The Millennium Marvels speak with Phantasy Inc regarding their current situation with Rochelle Carter and Grayson Prescott. Morpheus goes to talk to one of the Library's helpers, who suggests that she go talk to the Caretaker (Grimm ).
When she returns to the room, Grimm calls out to the library and helpers in general, that if Morpheus needs help, it's to be given. A small goblin appears and informs him that he has the keys, after which, the conversation continues. During this conversation, Úlfhéðnar outs Lady Liberty's identity as Catherine Carter, Rochelle Carter's daughter.
After this, Grimm, looks at Rochelle after taking on the form of Dr Death, using Precognition. The vision is a pyramid that opens in impossible ways. A portal opens and Death steps through. He does the rest of the team. The same pyramid and portal, though there is a choice that may determine their fate. He then talks to the library, who informs him that Morpheus doesn't need to go through to the Dreamscape, just to her dream. Also, if he wants to find the Way, he will find the Door. It does ask him to lock the door behind him. When he asks why, the reply is 'Everyone has their nemeses.'
Morpheus, in an effort to help Rochelle, asks Lady Liberty for something that would make her feel safe. Lady Liberty replies that baking with her is a safe space. After that, Morpheus puts herself to sleep and enters Rochelle's dream. In teh dream, she finds a beautiful landscape, with bright, sunny skies, a bubbling stream nearby and a sense of peace. This is quickly overshadowed as the sky darkens and a book appears ahead of her. On the open page, are the words 'Once Upon a time...'. On looking behind her, Morpheus sees a mist has formed behind her and seems to be closing in.
In order to deal with the mist, Morpheus tries to summon a tornado, but unfortunately, it doesn't work. The mist grabs at her, like misty skeletal hands and gets a hit on her arm, where the skin goes grey and cold.
Out in the Library of Dreams, the group become aware that something isn't right at this point as the sleeping Morpheus reacts to the injury sustained in the Dream. She tries to fight off the mist and eventually is able to wake herself.
Grimm, having been off to look for the Door, comes across a corridor where the lights flicker and there is the smell of dying stories. As he looks on a book falls from teh shelf, turning to dust as it hits the floor. He collects the dust before summoning Dobby to go check with the other helpers and see which books are missing.
The group eventually get out a door to the Dreamscape. The first time Grimm opens the Way, it is to the top of the cliffs of insanity. The second time, to the cave of the Ceanabog, where a small white rabbit awaits them.
Morpheus looks at the group, seeing their dream selves. Grimm looks the same as he did before, as is Morpheus. Lady Liberty appears to be holding the scales of justice and a torch, lighting the way. Djinn is a creature of the Earth and doesn't belong.
The group decide to go into Rochelle's dream, leaving Grimm outside to guard the body. The group in the dreaming hear 'Once Upon A Time...' and find themselves in a prison cell. They fight their way out teh cell the first time, to have the dream reset. At which point, the scene resets. At that point, Morpheus creates a tunnel in the cell to help them escape. Djinn, cannot feel the earth around him.
Outside, Grimm sees Ephialtes approaching, who starts attacking the many ane varied forms Grimm can turn into. Eventually, Ephialtes decides to ignore Grimm and focuses his power on Rochelle's body before running away.
The group in teh dream start to see the dream collapse around them. Lady Liberty tries to grab her mother, but the group are ejected into ther Dreamscape. Outside, Grimm has brecome Doctor Death weho realised that Rochelle is dyning. He turns the body, thus resurrecting her. The group turn as they materialise to a strangled cry as Dr Death pays the price for the resurrection, shimmering back to Grimm as he falls to his knees.
The group return to Seraphim Manor, where they managew to revive Rochelle Carter, who's immediate response is to look at Lady Liberty , crying out the words, "We got it wrong, the PRISM isn't the catalyst, YOU are...!"...
