Fighting On Many Fronts

A Battle for Honor Amidst Nazi Manipulation

Nazi SS head Heinrich Himmler attempts to recruit the Valkyries, celestial female warriors tasked with escorting the fallen to Valhalla, the Norse paradise for heroes. Selene, a key figure who advises the Valkyries, strongly urges them to resist any alliance with the Nazis, preserving their honor. Meanwhile, demons offer Tesla a powerful new device, the "Ring of Power," capable of allowing him to fight across both ethereal and earthly realms. To master this weapon, Tesla must train with the demons. Himmler, desperate to eliminate Tesla, deploys a two-pronged strategy: driving him and his allies out of Europe while punishing those who helped them, using a combination of military might and supernatural forces. Tesla, committed to protecting the locals who have sheltered him, stands firm. As the looming conflict grows more dangerous, Selene and Tesla's relationship deepens, and they discuss a soul-bonding—a union that would grant them a form of immortality, recognizing the real possibility that they may not survive the battle ahead.

Tesla’s Maturity Sparks

Tesla is barred from using the coil due to a court order, and Selene is kidnapped by malevolent supernatural forces aligned with the Nazis. Desperate to save her, Tesla strikes a deal with the demons who originally fixed the coil. The demons demand the team's souls as collateral, along with a share of the profits from the coil's future use. In return, they offer to redesign the coil, lift the legal constraints preventing Tesla from operating it, and pledge their assistance in rescuing Selene. They also promise to end the academic boycott preventing her from teaching.

Cleverly, Tesla negotiates with Mephistopheles, convincing him to delay claiming Faustus' soul, though Tesla remains unsure if the demons are truly loyal to the Nazis or pursuing their own agenda. With a tentative alliance formed, Faustus, Tesla, the Maccabees, and the demons plan a daring raid on the SS headquarters to rescue Selene. However, the SS threatens to execute her if they proceed.

In a moment of epiphany, Tesla recalls a Bible passage and realizes that the key to countering the Nazis' occult powers is not a physical device but something far more profound—he himself embodies the power needed to overcome their supernatural forces.

Himmler’s Ambitions

Tesla, along with Selene and his commandos, devises a plan to stop Himmler from acquiring a powerful relic that could cement Nazi dominance. However, Himmler has an even more insidious objective: using Die Glocke, a bell-shaped time-travel device, to jump into the future and abduct a nuclear physicist from a 1942 German bomb test site. Warned by his informant Hank, Tesla activates the coil to follow Himmler into the future. In the midst of an atomic bomb detonation, Tesla uses the damaged coil to shield himself from the blast and successfully prevents the Nazis from kidnapping the scientist. Despite his victory, Tesla is left puzzled by how the damaged coil functioned so flawlessly.

Meanwhile, Selene, a demon-succubus, discovers she has been blacklisted by several universities, hindering her career as a professor. Inspired by Tesla’s idea to form an intellectual association that would metaphorically "feed" her, she begins to explore the possibility of creating a new path. She subtly hints at the potential for a deeper romantic connection with Tesla, one grounded in their shared intellectual bond.

Complicating matters, Tesla faces a lawsuit accusing him of having sold the rights to the coil. To make things worse, the demons who restored the coil approach Faustus, seeking to collect on his centuries-old pact with Mephistopheles, raising the stakes as Tesla juggles both legal and supernatural threats.

Magic, More Than Might

Heinrich Himmler, driven by his obsession with the occult, is deeply entrenched in his plans to wield supernatural forces for a Nazi victory. Through his occult division, Himmler orchestrates dark rituals with the aim of opening portals to other dimensions and harnessing malevolent energies. Meanwhile, Tesla, hidden by the French underground, receives crucial intelligence from Hank, his former handyman and Nazi informant, who holds dual U.S.-German citizenship. Himmler’s latest scheme involves a ritual that could breach a dark realm, threatening not just the physical world but the very fabric of reality itself.

Upon learning of this dire plan, Tesla and his team swiftly organize a covert operation to sabotage the Nazi ritual. The ensuing battle is fierce, pushing Tesla’s coil to its limits as both the technology and the team’s abilities are tested. Despite emerging victorious, Tesla quickly realizes that the conflict transcends the physical realm—it is a battle steeped in magical forces. The goddess Brontë later reveals to Tesla that his coil, enhanced with both electrical and mystical powers, was crucial in thwarting the Nazis' attempt to manipulate the dark forces they had sought to control through their ritual.

The Rise of the “Macabees”

Tesla, joined by Selene and Faustus, ventures into the ethereal realms armed with his powerful coil and under the guidance of Brontë, the goddess of electricity. Their mission: to confront the dark forces of Himmler’s occult SS division, which seeks supernatural relics to bolster Nazi power. Initially, the Allies back Tesla’s efforts, but they quickly pull their support upon discovering the involvement of demonic entities, leaving Tesla disheartened.

In this moment of doubt, Tesla crosses paths with Gladstone, the leader of a group of Jewish ex-soldiers dishonorably discharged for their relentless and violent resistance against the Nazis. Seeing a kindred spirit in their uncompromising fight, Tesla is inspired by his biblical knowledge and renames the group "the Maccabees," after the ancient Jewish warriors. With this new band of fighters and a renewed sense of purpose, Tesla resolves to continue the battle against Himmler and the SS, undeterred by the loss of Allied support.

Setting The Stage

After reactivating the Tesla coil, Tesla and Faustus unexpectedly make contact with ethereal beings—a mix of angels and demons, each cautious of human affairs yet aware of the looming threat in Europe. These supernatural entities, though enigmatic in their motivations, agree to assist Tesla in battling the dark forces spreading through the Nazi regime. Tesla, Faustus, and Selene form a fragile alliance with these otherworldly forces, knowing that each faction has its own hidden agenda, but united in their mission to stop the Nazis.

Meanwhile, Heinrich Himmler, head of the Nazi occult division, learns of Tesla's actions and begins his own sinister preparations. Intent on harnessing supernatural power for the Third Reich, Himmler sets his sights on Tesla, Selene, and Faustus, uncovering their unique and troubled histories. Recognizing the threat they pose to his plans, Himmler targets them directly, preparing for a confrontation where science, the supernatural, and tyranny will collide in a battle for the future of Europe.

Once A Genius, Always A Genius

As the years pass, Tesla’s star fades, and the world moves on without him. Once hailed as a genius, he now lives in obscurity, forgotten by society. His visions of a grim future never fully leave him, haunting his dreams and his every waking thought. When World War II begins, Tesla is struck by the realization that his visions are coming true. The tyrant he foresaw has risen in the form of Adolf Hitler, and the world is on the brink of destruction. Tesla knows that his invention holds the power to change the course of history, and he decides to reactivate the Tesla coil. With Faustus by his side, Tesla once again steps into the unknown, determined to use his invention to stop the growing evil.

Tesla wrestles with the implications of his invention. Should he destroy it to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, or does the potential for good outweigh the risks? His internal conflict intensifies as he recalls the horrifying visions of a future dominated by a tyrant and plagued by war. Seeking guidance, Tesla turns to his old friend, Dr. Faustus, an expert in the paranormal. Faustus warns him that the forces Tesla has tapped into are dangerous, and that there are those who would stop at nothing to harness such power. Together, they discuss the possibilities and perils of using the Tesla coil for good. Faustus introduces Tesla to Selene, a centuries-old succubus who has her own interest in Tesla’s invention. Selene promises to help Tesla control the coil’s power, but her intentions remain unclear.

A New World, But Other Worlds, Too?

In 1891, Nikola Tesla is deep in his laboratory, working on what he believes to be his greatest invention yet: the Tesla coil. His goal is to harness wireless electricity and change the way the world consumes power. Despite warnings from his assistant about the dangers of his experiments, Tesla is relentless, driven by the possibility of revolutionary progress. However, a sudden surge of energy during one of his tests opens a mysterious portal, leading to an unexpected and terrifying discovery. Tesla and his assistant witness what seems to be a glimpse into another world, which both intrigues and frightens the visionary inventor. That night, Tesla is plagued by disturbing visions of a world at war, overrun by dark forces. He realizes that his invention could either save humanity or plunge it into chaos.
