Plot

On board the Nyhshea Eternal, dry-docked on the continent of Atlantis, medical officer Rhomerho Kel Llurian is summoned by the ship's A.I. Navatu because the sapient Arcane Bolt Stallion, Prince Ozarion, appears to be “quite upset”. Hurrying to his stall in the cargo bay, Rhomerho discovers that Ozarion is experiencing distress through his telepathic link with the Atlantean princess Emily, alias Ms. Blitzen. Indeed, now that he's in close proximity to Ozarion, Rhomerho's own prismatic chassis begins to resonate with the same signal and he too begins to feel Emily's pain. Reacting quickly, Rhomerho has Navatu bring him his battle armour, intent on heading to Angel Falls to investigate. Ozarion agrees to let Rhomerho ride him. After telling Navatu to inform Matthias that they're headed to Guardians HQ, the pair take off through a hatch in the Eternal, transforming into an actual bolt of lightning that rushes halfway across the world.

Back at Guardians HQ, a bedridden Emily is being watched over by her friends PhyreFrost, Blue Tide, Coil, SilverStar, Hailey Storm and of course by her fiancé Matthias Geist. They receive Navatu's message and hurry to the roof to welcome the two Atlantean visitors. After marvelling at Ozarion for a few moments, having never seen him in person before, they all return to the medical wing to explain the situation to Rhomerho. To allow Ozarion to follow them, Matthias and Hailey use their powers over elemental energies to shrink him into a small orb of light.

Rhomerho uses his advanced knowledge of the fusion of technology and magic to restore PhyreFrost's abilities, and even improve them. To the surprise and amusement of the crowd, they take this opportunity to share a kiss. After he's done, Rhomerho further surprises his audience by asking to transfer here on a permanent basis to become the Guardians' full-time physician. Two hours later, the group disperses and the inner circle of Matthias, Rhomerho and Ozarion are finally allowed to see the resting Emily. A tearful Matthias promises to spend more time with Emily from now on and help her train to increase her mastery over her powers. He also promises that they'll get married properly as soon as Emily's attacker is captured.

As night falls over the city, Rhomerho, Matthias, Hailey and Ozarion meet up on a rooftop near the Angel Falls police headquarters and agree it is time to begin their hunt for the alien creature who injured Emily. After making sure the call will not be intercepted by the authorities, Ozarion contacts Navatu, asking him to track their movements remotely just in case something goes wrong.
