Synopsis

The demons who have captured Artie and Leech bring them back to N'Astirh who is angry that they are not real babies. Realizing that they have power, however, he decides to keep them prisoner. Meanwhile, the X-Terminators are trying to find their missing friends but find themselves distracted by things like food and nifty costumes. Taki, feeling an outcast with the older kids, separates himself long enough to get captured by Crotus. The demon brings him to N'Astirh and claims that this mutant child can use his computer powers to quickly process the spells in N'Astirh's spell book.
