"Age of Dragons" is the fortieth episode of Mysticons, twentieth episode of the second season, and the official finale of the show; much to dislike of many fans. It aired on Nicktoons, 9:30 am, on Saturday morning on September 15, 2018.
Synopsis[]
The Mysticons, Proxima and their allies face the Vexicons and the Spectral Hand itself for one ultimate showdown to save all of Gemina with the temporary strengthened mystical power of their Dragon, Wolf, Phoenix and Unicorn bracers via their mystical Lances of Justice, as the recently restored Queen Goodfey had given the blueprints for fully creating them (off-screen) earlier.
Queen Goodfey accompanies her fraternal twin daughters (riding alongside Zarya on Archer) and their two best friends on their ultimate mission to obliterate the Spectral Hand from the plane of existence, but this makes Arkayna feel quite resentful towards Zarya, as their mother is paying more attention to her long-lost daughter rather than her. However, it is Zarya's instincts and resourcefulness that put together a force of incredible strength to finish off the ravening beast of the Spectral Hand, stop the increasingly strong Vexicons, and save their home world.

Trivia[]
In the Episode[]
- This has a longer opening before the theme song, unlike the premiere. Also it concludes with the theme song as did the premiere.
- The Mysticons return to the dwarven valley of the Heart of Gold; their second visit since "Heart of Gold".
- Her brief memories returned to her by Nova Terron (off-screen), Queen Goodfey learns that she had had fraternal twin daughters all along. For some reason, she is not introduced to Proxima, the orphan who was thought to be daughter before it was proven to be Zarya.
- The Spectral Hand itself is utterly obliterated from the plane of existence.
- King Valmuk and his young daughter Stormy make their second and final appearance since Episode Thirty-Two.
- Nova Terron steps down as "Star Master" and gives his topmost pupil, Proxima, his place as "Star Mistress." She is given the untainted golden Dragon Disk (which she somehow removed from the Dark Codex and no longer corrupted) and Codex, even though it has been entirely drained of its supremely powerful light magic. He does this to get back together with his old starmate: Geraldine.
- Tazma is still at large somewhere in the realm, as is Kymraw.
- Eartha fully embraces her good heart and stays with Emerald at Rudix's Hollow, while the other three Vexicons- a bald Mallory, Kasha and Willa- are imprisoned in some part of the realm.
- The Mysticons appear to have passed over their loyal griffin mounts- Izzie, Archer, Miss Paisley and Topaz- for the four mightily powerful Dragons of Light. Each is colored in each Mysticons' signature color- Pale green for Princess Arkayna, pale blue for Zarya, pale orange for Piper, and pale purple for Emerald.
- This marks the second and final appearance of the Rift of Ruin.
- The is the third and last appearance of Queen Truefin.
- This marks the fourth and last appearance of Princess Kelpie Truefin.
- As opposed to Proxima, it is Zarya who ultimately destroys the remains of the evil Mask that has plagued innocence since the beginning.
Outside the Episode[]
- This is the final appearance of characters who appear.
- The title may be a reference on the 2013 movie Age of Dinosaurs.
- As with the show's premiere, the finale ends with the theme song as the second generation of Mysticons go fast throughout the realm.
- This marks the series finale, though there are many crucial things unresolved or revealed fully beforehand. Fortunately it is followed by an ever-expanding series of graphic novels, and many original adventures/chapter books; each featuring one of the Mysticons as the central character.
- The Mysticons have their mystical Dragon, Wolf, Phoenix and Unicorn bracers greatly strengthened via the four mystical Lances of Justice; only making their attack strength ten times stronger and more effective, though only temporarily.
- It is revealed that very powerful magical objects and weaponry can be created via the magic furnace belonging to the dwarfs, in addition to the Celestial Forge in the Forge Room.
- In Episode 52 of W.I.T.C.H. , "Z is for Zenith" the ending is narrated only by Wilhelmina "Will" Vandom, the redheaded leader of the second generation of Guardians of the Veil, Guardian of the fifth element Quintessence ( pure white-blue lighting/electricity that contains pure life energy) and Keeper of the mystical Heart of Candracar.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Emerald: "How could you do that to her?"
- Mallory: "Simple: She was the weakest link."
- Emerald: "Weakest link? She was stronger than all of you put together. She had honor, integrity and a good heart."
