Synopsis for "Beware the Ides of September"

Lukasz (now living as Eden) watches as Gus Jr., imbued with vast powers and raging out of control, is about to kill Lauren Sherwood. Earlier at the beach, Lauren’s schoolmate Scott humiliated her by untying her bikini top, enabling another beachgoer to snap a picture of her topless. Meanwhile, Eden sensed something wrong and returned home. After Gus’s father backed out of taking him to a game, Gus threw a tantrum, tearing the head off Evie’s teddy bear. Eden slapped him and confined him to his room. She then invited Lauren to come over to pay her for babysitting. Reality warped for a moment, mutating Gus and granting him immense powers. When Evie brought him dinner, he demonstrated his power by fixing her teddy bear. Evie called for help, and Eden responded only for Gus to conjure a monster to restrain her. She changed into Mantra to defend herself, but he swiftly felled her with an energy blast. Evie talked Gus out of killing her so instead he stripped her of her armor, shrank her to the size of a doll, and put her in a box. When Lauren arrived, he captured her, too, but Eden tricked him into throwing Lauren into Mantra’s cloak, sending her to the pocket dimension within. Eden magically contacted Lauren and instructed her to don armor and weapons stored there. Gus pulled Lauren out of the cloak, and she managed to injure him with a small blast. Now, Eden tries to talk Gus down, but he just gets angrier and strikes her down with an energy blast. She is on the verge of death as Lauren zaps Gus again. He retaliates by teleporting her into the clutches of a tentacled monster.
