Story[]
Taleena appears at the beginning of the episode being shot at by a creature named Korg. She dodges, but the jewel in her crown falls out, unbeknownst to her. Blackstar comes to her aid and deposits Korg in a pit of mud. Taleena pretends that she is a princess in the kingdom of the west and she has been held captive by the overlord. The crafty 'princess' gets Darkstar to escort her to her ‘kingdom’.
Gossamer discovers the jewel and takes it to his people. The jewel reveals that it is a demonic jewel and it serves the wearer with it. Gossamer realises that it was the jewel Taleena had in! They realise that Taleena is in fact a servant of the Overlord and she is luring Blackstar into a trap...
Taleena and Blackstar ride to the demon lands. Suddenly, a devil’s storm appears. Blackstar rides through it, but her crown is taken off her head. Heroically, Blackstar gets it back, and gives it back to its demonic mistress.
They land in the barren demon lands, and Mara (Blackstar’s female aid) and other heroes appear floating on the cloud. Taleena wickedly hypnotises Blackstar and his dragon and sends them after his allies to kill them. She also makes the cloud disappear in an intent to kill, then runs off.
When the spell is broken, they discover Taleena and they prepare to fight. Taleena creates two demons and flees to her dark castle.
At her castle, Taleena tries to start a demon fire but cannot as her jewel is missing. She sends a demon to find it for her, which he does. The heroes, having destroyed the demons, catch up with her. She starts a demon fire, but Blackstar walks through it. As Taleena is shocked, he snatches her crown. The demon fire goes out of control; it flies around consumes Taleena. The flames slowly die down and her plan is stopped.
