"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." - After hunting the Fakir across several worlds in different dimensions, the team that started out from Torchwood as another group of "Harriers" chasing the temporal thief has more or less reconciled with the villain after a battle with an Old One's minion and is being recruited by Fakir and his lifelong nemesis, King Talon to try to undo the damage that turned King Talon's world into a lifeless wasteland.
New characters introduced at this point would likely be immortals (who are needed to get into the Sealed Kingdom from the present). Playing one of Fakir's bunny girl minions (Pygmy Gigantes), or one of King Talon's warrior nuns is also an option. The bunny girls are powerful, loyal, kind and a bit dim-witted. The nuns might be tougher to play since they are unappealing and will have trouble adjusting to Fakir and Talon's alliance.

**********************************************
After the battle has wound down and those who can be healed are taken care of, Mikalah's ship lands and nuns and bunny girls set about honoring their dead and destroying the remains of the demons.
King Talon and Fakir withdraw for a few hours, to discuss more than a hundred years of history. While they are off talking, a young coyle emerges from the ship and makes his way over to the portal where he sits down, staring into it.
Eventually, Talon and Fakir return and they go stand beside the coyle boy. One of Fakir's minions uses telekinesis to move Mikalah's short sword, never touching it, over in front of them. Fakir takes off Mikalah's katana and lays in down beside them.
"Do you think she could come back," the boy asks, "because it is her spell?"
Fakir hesitates. King Talon says, "If anyone would be able to, it would be her. Yet, she knows how to time travel. If ever she escaped wouldn't she return to this moment immediately?"
The boy nods.
Fakir picks up Mikalah's katana, "She is not dead, and I am her swordbearer. I will keep this until she returns." He turns to King Talon, "There is a debt of honor here... Mikalah made a sacrifice, we must attend to her responsibilities." Talon nods. Fakir waves over a nearby bunny girl, "Find Faye."
Soon a dark skinned girl with black cat ears and a swishing tail appears, she is dressed in skin red skin tight vinyl. "Faye is my most experienced warrior," Fakir says.
Talon summons a nun, a fierce looking one. Talon and Fakir look at both of them. "Watch over the boy for Mikalah, " Talon says to them. They nod.
"Take her sword," Fakir says, "She would have wanted you to have it."
The coyle boy reaches out both hands to Fakir, who shakes his head. "Not this one. Her other sword." The boy shivers and regards the sword on the ground. He knows touching it might mean his death. He picks it up. Nothing happens and someone hands him a leather sheath, and a case and a backpack so it won't inadvertently touch anything.
"And now," says Fakir, "We shall address our unfinished business...."
Fakir looks out and uses magic so his voice and King Talon's can be heard clearly. Forty-two of his bunny girl minions gather round, while Faye and the young coyle and Talon's chosen nun teleport away. There are seventy-three warrior nuns assembled as well. And of course Bellephoebe, Tesla, Aki, Dryzh, Romidus, Streetwise, Sapphire, Ora and their animals.
"Long ago," Fakir addresses his minions, "Your ancestors served my father. Later when I rescued them they swore an oath in blood to me: to restore my knighthood and reconcile me to my father's friend King Talon. Your oath is fulfilled, you are free."
A girl with hair the color of the setting sun, though its slowly changing and the sparkle of the first star can be seen in it and yells, "Its not over! Don't leave us behind! King Talon's world is still in ruins."
"Nonetheless, if you follow me any further it will not be because of your oath."
At this point the bunny girls mutter and whisper for a while. Fakir waits patiently. They aren't the brightest creatures after all. Eventually the all start yelling, "We go! We go!"
Fakir doesn't look pleased. "This mission is not well suited to your kind. For the loyalty you've shown me I'll allow you to see it through to the end."
"We are going to return to the Fallen world. To a time before the fall of course. There is a hidden kingdom, sealed by magic and we'll go back in time and change an event. My father and King Talon went to this secret kingdom to retrieve a bride for the emporer's heir. After comparing our notes, we believe this is the best event to change the past. We will select a new bride, and save King Talon's world."
"There are several challenges. The hidden kingdom is sealed. We won't be able to use time magic inside. Getting in will require great sacrifice. Once inside, the denizens of the hidden kingdom will be on their home ground. They will try to manipulate us into bringing back a bride of their choosing. Even without their machinations, the correct choice is not known."
Fakir walks over to Aki and waves over Bellephoebe. He glances at Tesla and Sapphire. "I have a favor to ask. And in return I will return a vaccine to your world and to Romidus' world as well." His magic voice is still on, so the whole crowd can hear him.
"To break into the Sealed Kingdom we will need to sacrifice one person for every eight we bring." Fakir let's that hang on the air for a minute, various bunny girls are already stepping forward, their loyalty much stronger than their brains. The nuns recoil in horror. Talon says nothing.
"However, I think Tesla and Sapphire would be able to bring some people through without them dying. If they agree to stand in one of the magic circles to break some of my troops through the seal, then I'll get vaccines for both planets." Fakir looks at Aki, then looks to Tesla and Sapphire. "What say you? If you are worried about them you can come along, but once through the seal you be caught up in our mission."
Sapphire nods, "I owe you my freedom. I'll do it." Telsa shrugs, "Eh, why not?"
