April 14 to 18, 2008: Powers Lost

Article posted April 13, 2008

Last week, Vergel, Ditas, and Lucero fought one another to claim supremacy over the rest, and Vergel emerged victorious. Ditas, tired of fighting, told Vergel that it was his fault she became a monster, his fault that she could never be loved by anyone else. This pushed Vergel to return to Ambograw to follow a legend that Ikoy once knew. With the help of Spectra, Vergel was able to get the flower that would restore her humanity; but in exchange, he lost his superpowers, just when both the world above and the underworld needed Kamandag the most.

After Lily saved Eleanor from Lucero’s snakes, the two found themselves on more solid ground. Using her wits, Lily was able to fend off both Lucero and Adlak to save those she loved, and those Vergel loved. And then, Jenny realized that it was Lily who deserved Vergel more.

Meanwhile, a barely-together Ditas escaped from Alicia’s house to exact her brand of justice. Tired of being kicked around by Abdon and Lucero, the female half-snake set out to take revenge on those who wronged her, beginning with Cathy.

And in the underworld, the rebels are clamoring once more to go against Gulag. Boyong was sent back to the world of the mortals to ask for Vergel’s help. And after executing Ragona, Gulag decided that it’s time they take the fight to Vergel—to the mortal world.
