[edit] Plot summary

Lord Sumner has unlocked the secrets to the Spear of Ragnarök, unleashing a power that threatens to bring a second Ice Age. All hope seems lost until the Templar Knights discover clues that may lead them to a relic with the power to stand against the Spear.

Now Max Sumner, Natalia Romanov, and Harley Eisenstein must join the Templar in a treacherous journey into the Underworld as they hunt for that lost relic and try and save the planet from extinction and rescue their friend, Ernie Tweeny. But even if they make it through the underground labyrinth, an ageless dragon awaits at the end of their quest.

In the end, Max finds the Eye of Odin but it is taken by his father who then stabs the World Tree. This awoke the Great Dragon and the dragon and Lord Sumner engaged in combat. Max then gains control of the Spear of Ragnorak and kills the dragon, sparing his father who escapes badly injured. As Max is ready to leave the battle scarred field, Athena betrays the Templars and steals the spear, revealing that she now works with the Order of the Dragon.
