Unfortunately, their passing through the gates of Hell causes them to literally freeze over: no new souls can enter, and Satan begins to lose his powers. The only way to put things right is to force Adrian and Cassius to come home, but Satan is too weak to go, so Nicky has to do it. With an enchanted flask he can use to trap his brothers inside to force them to come back to Hell, Nicky travels to Earth to try and capture them and save his father. HilarityEnsues.
