Donavon's Bane
|
|
|
|
A traveller is following a series of strange green lights, when suddenly they stop and form Morrigan. The guy says he's lost and was following the light, but Morrigan just made him come to her so she could
have his soul. She starts to suck the soul out when...
|
|
|
|
...in steps Donovan, who
introduces himself and then starts to fight Morrigan. After a series of misses between the two, Donovan finally manages to freeze Morrigan and is about to kill her, but before he can Morrigan shatters the ice and manages to get away.
|
|
|
|
However, since Donovan's sword, Dhylec, has tasted her aura, Donovan can track where Morrigan has gone and does so, then sets off to find her again. Meanwhile on a plane heading for London, Harry and Felicia have found out about a ring called the Black Dragon
Ring which belonged to Elijah Grimoire and was the key to enlightenment in order to use his powers. Now Harry needs this ring so he'll be able to control his new-found powers. They find out that the ring is currently at the British museum.
|

|
|
Morrigan meanwhile has retreated to her cave and is worried that she is too weak to defeat Donovan and needs a power boost. She then remembers about something called the Blood
Ring which was used be hey great ancestors and gave the user of the ring great power. Having heard of the rings current location she heads there, there just happening to be the British museum. Later on that day Harry and Felicia see the ring in the museum but since there is no chance that the head of the museum will believe Harry's story about the Black Dragon
Ring, they decide to wait until later on and steal it back when the museum is closed.

|
|
They return later on, only to discover that Morrigan is there and is about to take Harry's ring (or so they think) but before Morrigan can grab anything Felicia performs a flying kick on Morrigan which knocks her back.
|
|
|
|
Morrigan gets back up though and uses a beam attack to try and hit Felicia, but misses and ends up hitting the ring case, which explodes and sends rings everywhere. Felicia tries to buy Harry more time in finding the right ring buy Morrigan kicks her away. However, Harry finds the ring, but Morrigan demands that he gives it to her.
|
|
|
|
Harry initially refuses so Morrigan tries to shoot him with her beam attack but Felicia gets in the way of the blast and is transformed back into her little cat form since she is so low on energy. Harry tries to throw the ring out of the window but Morrigan grabs it before that happens, and then says that this was her ring and she needs a Darkstalker's blood to activate the power of it, so she grabs Felicia. Harry tries to stop her by using his own power but ends up floating around uncontrollably, so Morrigan
tries to finally finish off Harry with her beam, but...

|
|
...Donovan teleports in and blocks the attack with his sword. Morrigan decides to just get out of there and teleports herself and Felicia out of the museum. Donovan introduces himself to Harry and the latter learns of Donovan's mission to destroy all of the Darkstalkers, believing them to all be evil, despite Harry's protests that some are good. Donovan uses his sword again to find where Morrigan is whilst Harry finds the real Black Dragon
Ring.
|
|
|
|
Donovan activates a teleport and tells Harry not to follow him, but he does anyway. Meanwhile Morrigan has taken Felicia to a castle where it is rumoured that King Arthur was buried there. However, Morrigan hates the castle and uses her power to knock it down, revealing a Stonehenge rip off.
|
|
|
|
Morrigan is about to kill Felicia to get her blood, but Donovan and Harry arrive. Donovan is angry that Harry followed him after he told him not too, and tells him to go and hide whilst he fights Morrigan. Morrigan tries to stop Donovan but he blocks her attacks and then does a ridiculously large wave projectile which knocks Morrigan back.
|
|
|
|
When Morrigan gets knocked back, her spell of Felicia ends and Felicia returns to her normal self and meets up with Harry. Meanwhile Donovan continues to fight Morrigan.
|
|
|
|
Felicia goes to help Donovan, but since he hates all Darkstalkers he attacks her as well. Harry attempts to stop Donovan from finishing her off, whilst Morrigan sees that she is bleeding and decides to use her own blood to activate the ring.
|
|
|
|
This summons one of Morrigan's ancestors, who demands to know where her greatest enemy Merlin is. Morrigan says that he has been dead for centuries and that she needs help in destroying her enemies. The ancestor spirit agrees to help and gives Morrigan all of her power.
|
|
|
|
Donovan and Felicia try to fight Morrigan but both are defeated quickly. Harry has no idea on how to activate his ring but vows to stop Morrigan anyway, but she just laughs saying there is nothing he can do to stop her. And then FUCKIN' MERLIN shows up.
|
|
|
|
What's brought Merlin here? Harry's courage, or so the wizard spirit says. Merlin then blasts Morrigan's ancestor with a power beam, which seems to destroy her. Morrigan collapses and the Blood Ring vanishes off her finger.
|
|
|
|
Merlin tells Harry how the Black Dragon ring is useless and that the power Harry seeks is already inside him, and not the ring. After this little speech Merlin vanishes whilst Morrigan gets up and says that she had no idea Harry was related to merlin, and says that she can teach him magic and that they could both become much stronger. Harry refuses to believe her of course and with Donovan and Felicia about to finish her off, she calls out to Demitri who beams her up to Pyron's ship.
|
|
|
|
The castle which Morrigan destroyed earlier appears again, and everything looks great until Donovan, being the awesome guy he is, says it's not over yet and attempts to kill Felicia, but Harry stops him.
|
|
|
|
Donovan respects Harry's wishes and says that he will let Felicia live this time, but next time may be different. Donovan then bids farewell and teleports out of there. Felicia and Harry then head for home discussing how much of a jerk Donovan is and how Harry's power is already inside him.

Back at Pyron's ship, Demitri asks why Morrigan needed his help and she says how they now have big problems: the fact that the boy is related to Merlin and could learn how to use powerful attacks, and that there is a hunter travelling the world hunting out the Darkstalkers. Demitri nervously says he fears no-one and then the episode ends.
This episode has the smallest main character cast size, with only four main characters appearing: Harry, Felicia, Morrigan and Demitri.
Due to animation errors, the Black Dragon Ring is often shown as the Blood Ring instead.
This is Donovan's first appearance in the series, he shows up in several other
later episodes.
