A cute little find I came across:

No other word for this but senseless. Thoughts and prayers with NZ right now.

Getting over a really, really, really bad cold.

Okay, that was an amazing finale! First off, I liked the framing of the story as it being told in the future. I loved the final battle and how unity between everyone was the key to stopping Malgus - and furthermore, I think that was what the entire show had kind of been saying the whole time. That unity in Karmania was the only way to achieve PEACE. Ramos ascending and bonding with Malgus to stop it's terror was fitting in a way of closing Ramos' arc of always trying to be more - and failing spectacularly. He brought chaos to everyone, but this time for the better. He got to be something more, and he ended up uniting everyone in a way that they had never united before. I liked everyone's future careers/life states and what not. And I thought it was smart to leave their ultimate fates during King Nick's (ZOMGGG) time as an open-ended thing for fans to kind of imagine for themselves. I guess Madison's not active as the leader of the Guardians. Are there even Guardians around if the Heart of Karmania has been basically ditched? Guessing not. I'm happy to see Nicole and Matthew, two bright-eyed seeming kids, take the mantle of those before them. All in all, I think the best thing any creator can do when they end their work is leave the audience saying: "Hey, there's still more adventure happening out there - off screen, but it's happening. The story never really ends."
I just wanna say that I've loved you as a creator in the Spin-Off community. You have given us so many timeless classics, even if you think some of those gems weren't particularly good looking back. The work you've done here with MG exceeded the limits of your imagination. Storm Racers was crazy by the end, but this took the damn cake. Hats off to you, my friend. And if this is your final bow for now, it's been joyous, from beginning to end. Thank you for Mystic Guardians, and thank you for ten years in this writing community of ours.

Today marks Knights' one year anniversary! Without further ado, the Season 2 premiere...
Knights of the Mulitverse
Ep.13 "Bikini Top, Season 4"
Skyripper
The season opens up as red alarms ring on the ship.
Debbie, Marshall, Tomoya, and Melondy gather around the central console with Sandy.
"What now!" Debbie asked.
"Sorry, sorry! I know you guys just got back from another pick-up, but we have another hopper. This time on Universe-1." Sandy informed.
"Lillian, what's the sitch?" Melondy asks the ship's A.I, as the red alarms stop.
Lillians holographic head pops up above the central console. "A man from Universe-2, who is known as the Sneaky Hermit, and has the ability to generate electricity."
"Where is he on Universe-1?" Marshall asked. "Our home."
"I have located him in Bikini Bottom, launching an attack on Mayor Krabs' home!" Lillian revealed.
The red alarms go off again.
"Dammit! Another sitch! Okay, Marshall and Tomoya, you guys go take the jumpship and go stop this... Sneaky Hermit guy!" Sandy ordered.
"On it!" Marshall and Tomoya both said, as they took off.
---
Bikini Bottom, Universe-1
The Sneaky Hermit is seen using his electricity based abilities to strike down Krabs' personal security team.
Coming into Krabs' living room, Krabs is seen hiding behind the couch.
"Peak-a-boo! I seeee you!" Hermit said, with a laugh, as he peered over the couch.
"Please! Take anything except my money! I love me money!" Krabs begged.
"Unfortunately, your money is what I require. And you're going to hand me over a steep sum, or else I'll fry you to bits!" Hermit said, evilly.
"But why? Don't you have your own money, man?" Krabs asked.
"On the world I come from, I was running from the police. Hiding out for crimes I committed with these beautiful powers of mine!" Hermit said, making electricity with his fingertips. "Buuuuut, I found a man who was willing to provide me with dimension hopping technology - this belt I'm wearing. I used the last of what I had to buy it."
"So, why hop universes?" Krabs asked.
"In search of rich people across the multiverse that I can steal from. Once I have enough cash, I can live like a filthy rich bandit on any world!" Hermit said, with a laugh.
At that moment, Tim crashes through a glass window in the living room.
"Who the hell are you?" Hermit asked.
"Call me Barnacle Boy!" Tim said.
"YES! SAVE ME!" Krabs said excitedly.
Tim whipped out a mermarang.
"Haha, you think silly toys will stop me, boy?" Hermit asked.
Hermit shoots an electric blast, as Tim dodges.
Tim manages to throw his mermarang at a chandlier. Hermit jumps out of the way before it hits him.
"Nice try!" Hermit said, as he was about to shoot at Tim again.
"Look again!" Tim said.
At that moment, the mermarang sliced Hermit in the arm, and came back to Tim's hand.
"Ouch! You're gonna pay for that!" Hermit said.
Just then, Marshall phases him and Tomoya into the house from underground.
"Whoa! Not everyday you see two fellow superheroes phase in through the floor! Hey guys!" Tim greeted them.
"Oh, Barnacle Boy, what's up!" Tomoya said.
"Reunions later! Watch out!" Marshall yelled, as Hermit shot another electric blast.
Tomoya put up an icy wall, which took most of the damage.
"You're not stronger than me!" Hermit said.
"Wanna bet!" Tomoya said, stepping through the frost.
Tomoya's eyes glowed blue, as he seemed more powerful than normally, with icy frost releasing from his hands like running water.
Tomoya shot a powerful icy gust at Hermit, which ended up freezing him to Krabs' wall.
"WOO HOO!" Krabs said. "I GET TO KEEP ME MONEY!"
"Nice work, Cold Reef," Tim said.
"Thanks..." Tomoya said, as his rush of adrenaline and power seemed to have evened off.
"... Yeah, nice work," Marshall said, raising an eyebrow.
The scene shifts, as we see Marshall and Tomoya putting Sneaky Hermit into the jumpship, with meta-dampening hand cuffs on him.
Tim follows out after them.
"Krabs is all good. And his security detail will live - or, recover at least," Tim joked.
"Good, good!" Marshall said.
"I guess you guys gotta get the jumpship back to the Skyripper?" Tim asked.
"Yup - and ship Hermit off to the prison dimension." Tomoya said.
"Hey, I was expecting Katherine to be with you. Where is my cousin? Taking a much needed day off?" Marshall asked, with a smile.
"Oh... Marsh, I forgot we never told you yet. Katherine is... uh... missing." Tim revealed.
"Missing? Missing where? She's Miss Appear." Marshall said, with nervous laughter.
"I'm sorry, dude. We're doing what we can to find her." Tim said.
"Well, keep me updated. My cousin's a fighter, though. I know she'll be back in no time... wherever she is." Marshall said.
"I will. And plus there's something else I might want to talk to you guys about at a later time. So, keep your communications open on the Skyripper." Tim told them.
"Yeah." Marshall said, nodding.

Skyripper
Marshall and Tomoya arrive back on the Skyripper, making their way to the bridge.
"Me and Mel just got back to." Debbie said.
"You two have it easy. Debbie, you can open a portal with your hand. And Mel, you can potentially break barriers between different universes with your super speed. Meanwhile, me and Tomoya had to take the jumpship." Marshall said.
"Guys, I know we're all a little... frustrated. But, we need to keep our heads on." Sandy said.
"Easy for you to say. You mostly just stay on the ship now." Marshall complained.
"To COORDINATE all of these freaking mission!" Sandy yelled.
"Hey! Hey! Come on guys!" Debbie said, trying to break it up.
"It's just, we've been going non-stop for months now. That's sure to create tension, and we're all on edge as is." Melondy said.
"We're quite literally the multiverse's only line of defense." Tomoya said.
"Yeah, since it was busted open by this one." Marshall said, pointing at Debbie.
"Hey!" Debbie replied.
"Sorry, no offense. I know you tried to save the world from Tomoya's evil, Divine Jewel-wielding mother." Marshall replied.
Tomoya had a weird, uncomfortable look.
"Marsh, can you stop being an asshole for more than five seconds?!?" Sandy asked.
"Alright, five seconds." Marshall said, humorously.
"All these hoppers, man." Melondy complained.
"Well, in all my coordinating, I've figured out that most of them have come from Universe-2, so we'll keep watching that area intensely." Sandy said.
"No wonder. After all, it was the Squilliam of Universe-2 that was handing out dimension hopping technology. Thank god we shut his company down for it." Debbie said.
"Yeah, well he was producing more than just small spacecrafts." Tomoya said.
Marshall showed the girls a dimension-hopping belt that was taken from Sneaky Hermit.
"Hermit had that?" Sandy asked.
"Yup." Tomoya and Marshall both said.
"Wow. Well, luckily Lillian was able to detect Hermit's hopping." Sandy said.
"I'll go to Universe-2 and ask Squilliam for blueprints on every piece of technology his company made in regards to dimension hopping." Debbie said.
Just then, the central console got another alert.
The entire team groaned, as they gathered around the console.
"Lillian, what do we have now?" Sandy asked.
"I have located Angel from Seid's coalition of villains." Lillian revealed.
"Bingo! We've been looking for her and Flare for months!" Debbie said.
"Alright, where is she?" Sandy asked.
"I have located her in Coralwood, on Universe-7." Lillian revealed.
Marshall and Tomoya looked at each other in excitement. "OH YEAH, WE'RE GOING CORALWOOOOOOOD!" they both chanted.
The girls laughed.
"You guys should really take a break. You two have done the most missions today, after all," Debbie said.
"Nah, we're taking this one. Don't you have to go see Squilliam anyway?" Marshall asked.
"Well, true..." Debbie said.
"I'm gonna stay behind and let my speed recharge. I'm feeling... weaker right now." Melondy said.
"Should we be worried?" Sandy asked her.
"Nah, nah, I'm good." Melondy told her.
"Good. I will go to the captain's quarters and look more at the patterns and algorithms of these hoppers." Sandy said.
"Me and Tomoya will take the jumpship. Again." Marshall said, humorously.
Debbie opened a portal to Universe-2 with her powers. "Alright, good luck, all." she said, walking through.
---
Coralwood, Universe-7
Marshall and Tomoya are seen walking the streets of Coralwood, as everything and everyone in town looks bright and exquisite.
"I've never been to Coralwood before! On any universe!" Marshall said.
"Good to see you sounding like yourself again, buddy." Tomoya said.
"What do you mean?" Marshall asked.
"It's just... it seems like you've hardened over the past few months. Become a lot more sarcastic and... uh... mean?" Tomoya divulged.
Marshall groaned.
"I'm only telling you this because I'm your friend." Tomoya said.
"I've had to develop a thick skin lately. I mean, all these threats we've been handling in the form of excessive dimension hoppers." Marshall said.
"Well, it's good to see that being here in Coralwood has made you feel... light again." Tomoya said.
Just then, a posse of young tween girls came up to Marshall, as they took pictures.
"Whoa what is all this about?" Marshall asked.
"Yeah, we're not even in our superhero costumes!" Tomoya whispered to Marshall.
Just then, a limo pulls up on the street next to them, as a rather large and intimidating man in a black suit gets out and forces all of the tween girls away from Marshall and Tomoya.
"Uh... hello, tall, dark, and handsome!" Marshall joked.
"Get in the limo, it's for your own safety." the man said.
"Uh... well, I have always wanted to ride in a limo!" Marshall said.
Marshall and Tomoya enter, as the man closes the door behind them.
The two see a woman, with long jet black hair. "You're SO lucky I saw you on the street while my limo was passing through!" the woman said, as the limo started driving off.
"Who are you?" Marshall asked.
"That's a joke right? I know we haven't been friends long, but goodness are Coralwood people mean, aren't we?" she asked with a laugh. "Fine, I'll play along. I'm your friend, famous actress Margo Camping!"
"Ohhh, right! How do we know each other?" Marshall asked.
"You're the famous actor, Marshall Montgomery...? Are we done with this game now? It's boring." Margo said.
"I'm an actor?!?!" Marshall questioned.
"I thought you told the world that you were going on a nine month voyage on sea to find yourself? Why are you back?" Margo asked.
"A nine month voyage? Is my doppelganger here insane?" Marshall asked Tomoya in a whisper.
"Hey, who's your friend? He's cute!" Margo said.
"Oh, I'm Tomoya!" Tomoya said.
"Hot name!" Margo said, flirting.
"Ironic, considering my powers." Tomoya said, under his breath.
"What did you say?" Margo asked.
"Oh, nothing!" Tomoya replied.
"Where are we going?" Marshall asked.
"Oh, I'm heading into the studio to film." Margo told them.
"Cool, for what show?" Marshall asked.
"Really?" Margo asked, in disbelief.
"The game, remember? I'm a confused soul now!" Marshall said.
"Fine. I play the recasted Morgan on Season 4 of the hit teen show, Bikini Top." Margo revealed.
"Oh, interesting." Marshall said.
"Yeah, I watch a lot of teen dramas where I come from! And that's one of them!" Tomoya said.
"Nice..." Margo replied.

Skyripper
Back on the ship, Melondy visits Sandy in the captain's quarters, as Sandy looks over paperwork.
"Hey!" Sandy said, looking up from her work. "Been going over all these sheets looking for the most popular spots to hop to, so I can install a 'predictor' device in Lillian's hardware."
"That's cool." Melondy said, eating a banana.
"Recharging?" Sandy asked.
"Yes! Food helps with that!" Melondy replied.
"I know. I was on a team with a speedster for like seven years." Sandy said.
"Team SpongeBob." Melondy said.
"Yup. SpongeBob had super speed just like you. And it was just as helpful... and annoying." Sandy joked.
"Hey!" Melondy replied, humorously.
Sandy laughed. "Nah, I'm kidding. Although, I worry a bit about you and your speed..."
"Why so?" Melondy asked.
"You technically don't exist." Sandy said.
"I'm a time remnant. Yes. My father murdered the younger version of me, destroying the timeline I came from. Ever since, I just feel like I've been running." Melondy said.
"From time? But... when does that run out?" Sandy asked. "I'm scared that one day you're just gonna fade from us."
"Me too." Melondy said, in a hushed tone.
"Maybe... maybe I can figure something out for you?" Sandy proposed.
"You can't fight the space time continuum." Melondy said.
"Have you seen what we've been doing this past year? Hopping universes? I'm sure at this point... I can fight anything." Sandy replied.
"Oh yeah? Cause you're Red Widow, this big time superhero." Melondy said.
"I'm not a superhero. And for the longest time, I wasn't exactly a hero either." Sandy said. "The name Red Widow has blood on it."
"Yeah, but, look at all the good you've done with it too." Melondy said. "You are literally holding the multiverse up by yourself! Coordinating our missions, getting into the heads of these hoppers and figuring out patterns in their routes. You are amazing."
Sandy couldn't help but blush. "Thanks, Mel."
"Ya know, I... see a lot of me in you. We've both been through hell and back conquering our personal demons, all to do some good for the world, with power or skillsets that were thrust onto us." Melondy said.
"Yeah, funny how that works..." Sandy said, with her thoughts drifting.
"I'm gonna let you get back to it." Melondy said.
"Okay. Fuel up, you!" Sandy replied.
Melondy nodded, as she took off.

Coralwoood, Universe-7
Margo's limo pulls up in front of SBC Production Studios.
The "tall, dark, and handsome" driver opens up the door for Margo, Marshall, and Tomoya to get out.
"A driver and bodyguard all in one?" Marshall asked Margo.
"Yeah, he's good for a lot of things, if you know what I mean." Margo said, with a wink.
Tomoya and Marshall looked confused.
Suddenly, the two see a large billboard poster, which showed Angel.
"Tomoya, it's HER!" Marshall said.
"What? You guys aren't talking about Ariel Summers, are you? She basically dropped out of nowhere, and somehow got the part of Temperance based solely on her beauty. I mean, she does look like a literal angel, but STILL!" Margo complained.
"Angel... yeah, you have no idea." Marshall said, with a nervous laugh.
"Marshall, we've gotta get into that studio and capture Angel." Tomoya whispered to him.
"I know, I know." Marshall whispered back.
"Everything alright, boys?" Margo asked.
"Uh, yes! I was just wondering if Bikini Top was still hiring for parts? Famous actor right here!" Marshall said.
"Hmm, I think our producer, Calvin, would LOVE to have Marshall Montgomery in his work! Follow me into the studio." Margo said.
Margo, Marshall, and Tomoya enter into SBC studios.
They see actors, set designers, cameras, and microphones everywhere, as everyone rushes to get ready for their scenes.
"Ugh, it is always a mess around this time!" Margo said.
Tomoya is seen recording with his camera. "LOOK, we're inside a television studio in Coralwooooood!"
"Hey! I wouldn't do that if I were you!" Margo warned.
Just then, a suave-looking man walked over to the three, with a stern expression on his face.
"No recording in here! Margo, who is this?" the man asked. "... Wait, are you Marshall Montgomery?" the man asked, now looking at Marshall.
Tomoya closes his camera up, as Marshall gulps. "That... would be me! Who are you?" Marshall asked.
"Marshall, this is the producer! Calvin Reynolds!" Margo revealed.
"Oh! Nice to meet you sir!" Marshall said, shaking his hand.
"I know of your work! You're a brilliant actor! Are you here for a part? I can get you a part!" Calvin told him.
"Uhhh, I'd love that! As long as I get to act alongside Ange - I mean, Ariel Summers!" Marshall said.
"Of course. Though, I think she's taking a sick day today." Calvin revealed.
Marshall and Tomoya looked at each other.
"My wife loves all of your movies! And my son, Travis, aspires to be like you someday!" Calvin told him.
"Oh, that's... uh, great!" Marshall said.
"Let's get you into rehearsal RIGHT NOW!" Calvin excitedly said, pulling him along.
"But I don't even have a role yet!" Marshall said.
"You'll be the new Bryan! I'll fire the old one!" Calvin said, stuffing a script in his hand, and pulling him along.
"Well, that just happened." Margo said, looking at Tomoya.
"Yeah, tell me about it..." Tomoya said, gulping.
"Well, I have to get to my dressing room and study my lines for my scene in an hour. But, you're free to walk around!" Margo said, taking off.
Tomoya gets out of view, hiding in an empty hallway. He then contacts the Skyripper on his ear coms.
On the ship, Sandy receives the transmission on the central console.
"Tomoya, what is your status? How's the mission?" Sandy asked.
"Uhhh, we found Angel working at a studio here in the city, on the hit show Bikini Top." Tomoya said.
"Bikini Top? That exists on this universe too? Man, that show really didn't age well." Sandy said, shaking her head.
"She's actually playing Temperance!" Tomoya said.
"Oooh, she was a divisive character to audiences..." Sandy said.
Just then a portal opens up on the ship, as Debbie steps out.
"Is that the boys?" Debbie asked, holding a box of blueprints in her hands.
"Yeah. Right! Back to business! What happened? Did you capture her yet?" Sandy asked Tomoya.
"That's what I'm calling about. She's sick and off set for the time being, and Marshall got a role on the show!" Tomoya revealed, nervously.
"WHAT?" Sandy questioned.
"In this universe, he's a famous actor!" Tomoya said.
"His doppel must be a famous actor, and Marshall's impersonating him!" Sandy said.
"Yeah, but only so we can get the drop on Angel." Tomoya said.
"You guys get outta there now! And I will have Lillian track Angel's whereabouts in Coralwood." Sandy said.
"Alright, but he does have a scene coming up!" Tomoya said.
"Don't caaaare." Sandy said.
"Well, Angel's using the name "Ariel Summers" here, so you might wanna start there." Tomoya told her.
"Alright, thanks." Sandy said, ending the transmission.
"You got what we needed for Squilliam?" Sandy asked Debbie.
"Yup. Blueprints on every piece of tech his company made that allows dimension hopping." Debbie said, as she sat the box down.
"Good. I'll uh... go through it later." Sandy said.
"You need just as much as a break as the rest of us. I've watched you these last few months, holding everything together behind the scenes so that the rest of us can have it easier on the field." Debbie said.
"Yeah. This must be how it felt for SpongeBob, and Linda, and Shin." Sandy said.
"Well, in those days, you took on just as much leadership. I think you were always meant to be one." Debbie said, proudly.
"A superhero?" Sandy asked.
"A leader." Debbie said. "But that too." she whispered.
Sandy bowed her head, still unsure about the superhero part.
"Well, my job is not done." Sandy said. "Lillian, give me an address on an 'Ariel Summers' in Coralwood."
Lillian displays the address of Ariel's apartment on a virtual hologram.
"We got her!" Sandy stated, happily.
"Want me to handle this one, boss?" Debbie asked.
"Go get 'er, girl!" Sandy replied.

SBC Production Studios
Back at the studio, Marshall, dressed in new clothes and glossed up by the hair and make-up team, was pushed into a scene at a diner.
Margo also arrives on set, excited to see Marshalll.
"Oh, we're doing these scenes together? Cool!" Margo said.
"Yeah, cooool!" Marshall said, awkwardly.
The cameras began rolling, as the director called for silence on set.
"Alright, BEGIN!" the director said.
"Bryan Errin? Is that you?" Margo asked, walking over to him.
"Morgan, hey! We're going to the same university now, if you didn't know." Marshall said.
"Wait, you saw me on campus?" Margo asked.
"I wanted to come talk to you, but you seemed busy." Marshall said.
"You should have come anyway!" Margo said.
The two bat their eyes at each other.
"Ya know, I've always thought you were hot." Marshall said.
"Then, you should kiss me!" Margo replied.
"But, I'm a Thewot! I can't! THE ANGST, THE DANGER!" Marshall squealed.
Margo/Morgan gasped dramatically.
"Haha, great stuff!" the director whispered to a cameraman nearby.
---
Meanwhile, we see Debbie, flying through the skies above Coralwood. She comes across the Golden Metro Hotel, one of the most exquisite in the city.
Debbie uses her heat vision to blast her way into Room 504, shattering glass all over the floor.
Debbie flies in and lands on the floor, as she walks around, looking for signs of Angel.
Turning around, Debbie is quickly punched in the face, which sends her flying at a wall.
Angel appears, dressed in her white costume, with her wings spread out from her back.
"When a friend on set called and told me that Marshall Montgomery was there at the studio today, I knew that it was you guys behind it all. You Knights are annoying!" Angel said.
"And you're a criminal! You're coming with me!" Debbie said.
Debbie flew at her, as Angel grabbed Debbie's body and threw her outside with super strength.
Angel then flew at her, as their battle continued outside.
"So, you have super strength too? It won't avail you!" Debbie said.
Debbie punches Ariel upward.
Ariel tries flying away, as Debbie chases after her.
Debbie aims a heat vision blast at one of Angel's wings. As Angel is hit, she begins to fall straight down into a back alley.
Debbie caught her before she hit the ground, laying her on the ground gently.
"Your wing is injured! You can't escape me anymore!" Debbie said.
Just then, the Skyripper (in invisible mode) lands in the back alley, as it turns visible.
Sandy and Melondy quickly exit the ship.
"Yes! We've finally got her!" Melondy said.
Angel retreaded her wings into herself. "Ouuuuch!" she cried out.
"We'll have our A.I, Lillian, treat your wings, if you submit to your capture and punishment." Sandy said.
"Or we can make a plea deal? One that lets me live out the life I want here in Coralwood. I'm not hurting anyone! I'm finally free!" Angel said.
"What does this plea deal entail?" Sandy asked, thinking it over.
"Info on the real person you should be worried about. FLARE!" Angel said.
"Flare's here too?" Debbie asked.
"Of course she's here! We breached to this world together. We thought our technology made the "hop" undetectable." Angel said.
"Yeah, well, Lillian finally tracked the hop down, and we found you. Now apparently Flare." Sandy said.
"What is Flare up to?" Melondy asked.
"After Syphon died right in front of us, Flare lost her mind. She just snapped from emotional pain. The Fireflyer ended up being magically warped to the Dark Dimension." Angel revealed.
"Magically?" Debbie asked.
"There, we met the Covenant of Wizards. Their leader, Amara, promised Flare that she'd resurrect Syphon with magic IF Flare came to this universe to steal some kind of book that they need." Angel revealed.
"A book that the covenant needs?" Sandy asked. "For what?"
"I don't know, but... I didn't want to continue working under the thumb of some insane person, like Seid. So, I got into acting and distanced myself from Flare. Though, she's been giving me updates on her mission." Angel said.
"Tell us what we need to know and we'll consider letting you stay here and live out the rest of your days." Sandy said.
"Flare has found the location of the book. With a teenage boy, named Travis. Son of Coralwood mongul, Calvin Reynolds." Angel revealed. "She's launching an attack tonight!"
Sandy, Debbie, and Melondy all looked at each other.
"We need to contact the boys." Sandy said.
---
Back at the studio, the actors and production team began to wrap up for the evening.
Tomoya runs up to Marshall. "Great scenes today, man!"
"Thanks! I could get used to this acting thing!" Marshall said.
"But, we have a sitch! The girls told me that Flare is in town and is looking for a book wanted by a magical cult!" Tomoya said.
"Wait, WHAT?" Marshall questioned.
"They'll explain the whole story later! But, basically, the book is with Calvin's son, Travis. We need to get to his house and slyly defuse the situation, because Flare may be on her way there soon." Tomoya revealed.
"How are we gonna - " Marshall started, as Calvin walked over.
"Marshall! Can I have a minute - alone?" Calvin asked.
"Uh sure." Marshall said.
Tomoya walked away.
"I want to invite you over to my house tonight." Calvin said.
"Whoa! That was easy!" Marshall said.
"Wait, what?" Calvin asked.
"Oh, nothing! But... uh... why?" Marshall asked.
"I think that you're quite attractive." Calvin said, blushing.
"Uhhhh, don't you have a wife?" Marshall asked.
"Yeah, but Sara doesn't know that I'm gay." Calvin said, winking.
"You, uh... should kind of tell her!" Marshall said.
"She's out of town on a luxury vacation! She doesn't have to know right now!" Calvin said.
"Uh, I would love to come over! Right now in fact!" Marshall said.
Tomoya overheard, giving Marshall a thumbs up.
The scene shifts, as Marshall and Calvin arrive at Calvin's luxurious house.
Outside, Tomoya (dressed in his costume) is hiding in some bushes.
Debbie lands from the sky, right next to him.
"WHOA, YOU SCARED ME!" Tomoya said.
"Shhh!" Debbie shushed him. "We don't want to mess this up. We need Marshall to defuse this situation calmly. But, be on the lookout for Flare." Debbie said.
"Right, okay!" Tomoya said.
Inside the house, Calvin pours Marshall and himself some wine, as the two sit on the couch.
The lights are dimmed, and soft music plays. Calvin gives Marshall flirty eyes.
"Uh, soooo." Marshall said, awkwardly.
Calvin leaned over to kiss him. Marshall quickly moves out of the way.
"Uh! Don't you have a son living here?" Marshall asked.
"Yeah, but he's held up in his room. He never leaves! I walk by and just hear him chant weird things all day! You'd think he was in a cult or something!" Calvin said, with a laugh.
"Hahaha, yeaaaah." Marshall replied.
"So, why don't we get back to where we were?" Calvin asked.
"Uh, actually, I need to use the bathroom first. Yeah?" Marshall replied.
"Upstairs to your right." Calvin said.
Marshall quickly took off, heading upstairs.
The smell of something burning instantly attracts Marshall's attention, as he sees smoke coming up from under the door of a nearby room.
"OH NO!" Marshall said, phasing into the room.
Travis is seen passed out on a bed, as fire is lit all around.
"YOU'RE TOO LATE!" Flare is heard.
Marshall turns around, seeing Flare.
"He told me where the book is. Stop me or SAVE HIM!" Flare said, as she ran out of the room.
Marshall grunted, as he used his powers to phase through the flames and jump on the bed.
Marshall phased himself and Travis through the bed and out of the room, as they dropped to the basement floor.
Marshall gave Travis CPR, as the boy began to cough and awaken.
"Wh-o a-re yo-u?" Travis asked.
"My name is Marshall, and I'm here to help. But, you need to tell me about this book that the mean fire lady was after! Where is it?" Marshall asked.
"The dining room, underneath a broken floorboard." Travis revealed.
Marshall touched his coms. "You guys getting this?!?"
"WAY AHEAD OF YOU!" Debbie said, flying into the house.
In the dining room, Flare has gotten the book from under the floorboard.
Calvin rushes in, surprised to see her. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my house?!?"
Flare shoots a fire blast at him, but Debbie swooshes in and knocks him out of the way, taking the blunt of the blast herself.
"Ah, if it isn't the Universal Guardian! I guess, though, I should call you the Multiversal Guardian these days?" Flare questioned, snidely.
"You were the 'friend' on set who tipped off Angel, weren't you?" Debbie asked.
"She played you guys. Led you right to me, so I could finish off your ass for murdering my girlfriend!" Flare replied.
"Well she played you too! She told us your plan. Give me the book!" Debbie said.
Flare shot out another fire blast, this time the blast being extremely powerful and explosive.
Debbie was blasted out of the room, as fire began to spread all around the house, behaving as if it were alive.
Flare escapes through a back door.
Debbie touches her coms. "I have to get everyone out of this house! This fire is insane! I need Lady Quick!"
"She's coming up!" Sandy replied, on the Skyripper.
Melondy is seen exiting the ship with her super speed, all dressed in costume.
"My energy is restored, peeps!" Melondy said, as she used her speed to run around the house, acting to funnel the flames away.
Meanwhile Debbie quickly flew Calvin out of the house, as Marshall had already phased Travis and himself away to safety outside.
In the sky, Debbie and the others witnessed the Fireflyer craft take off in a breach.
"Flare got away!" Debbie said.
Sandy, on the Skyripper, sighed.

Dark Dimension
The Fireflyer arrives in the Dark Dimension, with Flare landing the ship near a castle hoisted on a mountain platform.
People dressed in purple and black robes exit the castle, holding fire torches.
A woman in a purple witch-like costume is seen walking in the center.
Flare exits the ship, with the book in hand. "Amara, I have what you wanted."
Amara comes out from the center, approaching Flare.
"A success. You have brought the covenant what we need." Amara said, taking the book from her,
"Now, you guys need to hold up on your end of the bargain. Give me what I need." Flare said.
"Patience dear. After all, the only way I can give you what you want is by awakening my sisters, and my father... Conquess!"
Flare raised her eyebrows, wondering what the hell she'd gotten herself wrapped into this time.

Coralwood, Universe-7
Marshall brings Calvin and Travis on board the Skyripper.
"Wow, so this is the real you! A superhero doppelganger holding up on a badass spaceship!" Calvin said.
"I love your costume, sir!" Travis said.
"Hey, just call me Crossfade!" Marshall said, proudly.
"I guess this means your career as an actor is over?" Calvin asked.
"I'll leave the theatrics to my doppelganger!" Marshall said, with a smile.
Sandy and the others were on the bridge as well.
"Uh, sir, how is your home? The repairs started early this morning, correct?" Debbie asked.
"Yes, and thanks to the speedster over there, the fire was put out before it could do even more extensive damage. So, thank you." Calvin said.
"You're so welcome." Melondy said, smiling.
"We had Marshall bring you and your son here, because we need to talk about the whole... book thing. Even our A.I doesn't have a clue about this mystical book or this Covenant of Wizards." Sandy said.
"Well, I don't know anything about a Covenant of Wizards, but I was in a cult that worshiped this book. The Book of Divination." Travis revealed.
"I can't believe I didn't know any of this. Why would you turn to a cult, Travis?" Calvin asked.
"I felt accepted by them. I didn't know if I could feel the same with you and mom." Travis said, emotionally.
"What's the problem?" Calvin asked.
"Dad, I'm gay. I've been holding it in for so long." Travis revealed.
Marshall looked at Calvin, nodding at him.
Calvin took in a deep breath. "Son, I am gay too."
Travis looked surprised. "Really?" But... mom...?"
"Your mother doesn't know, but I think it's time this family starts telling some truths. So, we're gonna have a big talk when she gets back." Calvin said.
"As sweet as this family therapy is, we need more info, Travis." Sandy said, regretfully.
"That's all I have, really. My cult was granted the book long ago by a wizard. At least that's what legend says." Travis revealed.
"So, this cult has been around for a while, then?" Melondy asked.
Travis nodded. "The Book of Divination, according to legend, is dangerous. Some say it even came from another world." Travis told them.
"Well, so do we." Marshall said.
"Which might mean what I just said... is true." Travis pointed out.
The entire team gulped, as they looked at each other with fear and uncertainty.
"Thank you guys, for your help." Marshall said.
"I think I should be thanking you." Calvin said.
"Aw shucks, man." Marshall joked.
"So, next time you roll through this universe, you'll look me up?" Calvin asked.
"As a friend." Marshall said, winking.
"I got ya. See you guys!" Calvin said, waving goodbye.
Calvin and Travis exited the ship.
The gang gathered around the central console.
"I'll be updating Lillian's systems, so soon enough, maybe she'll pick something up about this... covenant." Sandy said.
"And the book, which Flare got away with." Debbie said.
"If we're going up against a magical threat to the multiverse this year, we're gonna need to be as prepared as we can be to successfully combat it." Marshall stated.
"Well, I think this is just the beginning. We'll see how everything plays out." Sandy said, nodding.
"Whatever happens next - and whatever frustrations arise about our mission here, let's always remember, we're a team. We got this." Debbie advised.
The others nodded along in agreement, as the episode ends.

Knights of the Mutliverse
Ep.12 "Fortress"
Universe-2, Arctic
The episode opens, as we see a person wearing a big green coat and a ski mask wrapped with a scarf, walking through the snowy ground and heavy winds. The person arrives at a giant crystal catacomb. They entering, removing their scarf and winter gear, revealing their self to be Patrick Star of Universe-2.
"Pattie, glad you're back. How was patrol duty?" Sandra asked.
"Nothing off so far. How's Denise?" Patrick asked.
"Denise is tired of being cooped up in this Fortress of Seclusion." Denise said, walking toward them, alongside Professor Magma.
"It's our duty to protect you. Tell her, Squidward." Patrick said.
"If you ask me, we got the short end of the stick. The rest of the league gets to go off and protect the world, but we have to stay here and be glorified babysitters!" Squidward said, annoyed.
"Yeah, babysitter to the most powerful woman on this planet!" Denise said. "I don't need this protection anymore."
"Seid is after Universal Guardians, and he has the means to kill them. Debbie was specific about us keeping you from him..." Sandra said, sighing.
"Debbie is also a Universal Guardian, but she gets to traverse the multiverse and chase this guy down." Denise complained.
"If you wanna leave the fortress, you're free too. We'll make sure to inform Debbie and my doppelganger about it." Sandra said.
"I'm good, just tired. When are they gonna catch that son of a bitch?" Denise groaned.
"Actually, we've invited them here to talk about a game plan to stop Seid." Sandra revealed.
"Okay, on the pro-active, I see." Denise said.
"Yeah, it's time to put all of this out of it's misery." Patrick said.
Just then, the alarm system at the Fortress started to go off.
Squidward checked the Fortress' virtual computer system.
"Oh no!" Squidward said.
"Magma, what is it?" Sandra asked.
"A breach above the Fortress, and it's not the Knights and their Skyripper. I think Seid and his crew are here." Squidward revealed.
"Shield up, NOW!" Patrick ordered.
Outside, a red energy barrier covered the Fortress. In the sky, we see the Fireflyer. On board, Seid is piloting.
"They think their silly defenses can stop what's coming!" Seid said, with a laugh.
---
Skyripper
On the bridge, we see everyone circling around the central console.
"So, Shadow called this meeting, right?" Marshall asked.
"Indeed I did." Shadow said, joining the rest of the group.
"What's up?" Sandy asked.
"Is something wrong?" Debbie asked.
"I have betrayed you all." Shadow revealed.
Everyone looked utterly confused.
"What do you mean?" Melondy asked.
"When me, Debbie, and Tomoya were at Universe-2 confronting Squilliam. Seid paid me a little visit there." Shadow admitted.
"You never told us this." Debbie remarked.
"I know, and I regret it greatly." Shadow replied.
"What happened with Seid, Shadow? What did he do to you?" Sandy questioned
"He forced me to be a mole for him. Threatened my mother's life." Shadow revealed.
Marshall groaned.
"Yeah, take in, Marsh! You were right about me, I'm just this big evil!" Shadow said, angrily.
"Let's calm down. Both of you!" Sandy said.
"If you were this big evil, you wouldn't have told us." Debbie said.
"Debbie's right. So, I'm asking you... what exactly did you tell Seid so far?" Sandy questioned.
"Denise's location." Shadow admitted, regretfully.
"Oh no!" Sandy said.
"We need to get to the Fortress on Universe-2, now!" Debbie said.
"I'll set a course! Everyone buckle in!" Sandy said, running to the pilot's seat.
---
Fortress
At the fortress, we see that Seid, Flare, Syphon, Angel, and Flounder have made their way inside. Seid is holding the Staff of Multiversity.
Sandra, Squidward, Patrick, and Denise ready their defenses, as a battle occurs.
Seid rams Sandra aside with his speed.
Flare shoots some fire blasts every which way.
Just then, the Knights are shown arriving, shocking Seid and his minions.
"SEID! It doesn't have to come to this!" Debbie said. "Let it end, here and now!"
"I believe it does have to come to this." Seid said, as he tried racing toward her with his speed.
Tomoya used his ice powers, quickly shooting at Seid's feet and trapping him in ice.
"Take him out, NOW!" Sandy yelled.
Debbie shot at Seid with her heat vision, but suddenly, Syphon jumped in the way.
This gave Seid the oppurtnity to break free.
"NOOO!" Flare shouted.
Syphon fell to the ground, succumbing to her injuries.
Debbie was mortified.
Melondy used her speed, as she raced after Seid, who'd tried to exit the fortress.
"ALL OF YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" Flare yelled, as she and Angel quickly flew away, breaking through the ceiling of the fortress.
Flounder stayed behind, as he shot at the heroes with his beams.
Everyone jumped out of the way.
Tomoya shot an icicle at Flounder's third eye, injuring him and disabling further attacks.
Just then, Melondy returns to the fortress, with Seid in meta-dampening handcuffs.
"Yeah, I was faster this time." Melondy said, confidently.
Everyone claps for her.
---
Skyripper, Bikini Bottom, U-1
The Skyripper is seen landed on the outskirts of Bikini Bottom in Universe-1.
The Knights are grouped on the bridge, as Sandy begins to talk.
"Well, Seid and the Atomic Flounder are now being held in the prison dimension, the Staff of Multiversity is with the Space Council, Flare and Angel disappeared in the Fireflyer without a trace, and Denise and the I.J.L.S.A of Universe-2 are safe and back to their own lives. I'd say, we succeeded to do what we set out to do." Sandy said.
"Now, there's really only one thing left." Marshall said, looking at Shadow.
"Right. I have to be put back into the timeline where I left." Shadow said.
"We know you didn't mean to betray us." Debbie said.
"But... my presence outside of the proper timeline is... not so good." Shadow continued.
"I'm sure you can understand." Sandy said.
"And we did make Katherine a promise. To return you back to where - or rather, when you came from." Melondy said.
"Melondy, you mind doing the honors? You do have the power to traverse time, right?" Sandy asked.
"I'm a very accomplished speedster. Of course I do." Melondy said.
"I'm ready." Shadow said, nodding.
Melondy speeded Shadow off of the Skyripper, as the team watched them out of the ship's window enter a speedster-breach outside.
"I want to thank all of you. For helping me catch Seid." Debbie said.
"Well, you're very welcome. That's what we signed up for." Marshall said, happily.
At that moment, Melondy returned.
"Whoa, that was quick!" Sandy said.
"Yeah, well I'm quick. Lady Quick. Anyway, Shadow's back in 2016, where he belongs." Melondy said.
"A real shame that he's on the path to die... again." Sandy said.
"Yeah. So, what were we talking about?" Melondy asked.
"I was just expressing my gratitude to all of you. Now, I relieve you of this duty." Debbie said, with a laugh.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Sandy asked.
"Well, I still have to catch hoppers who are going to worlds they're not supposed to be on. But, you guys are done. You helped me stop and defeat Seid." Debbie said.
"Yeah, but... we're a team. We're still a team." Sandy said.
"We're not abandoning you, Debs!" Tomoya said.
"Yeah, this whole multiverse-fixing mess? We're sticking it out with you until the end." Melondy added.
Debbie smiled. "Are you guys sure?"
"Hell yeah. After all, we're the Knights of the Multiverse." Sandy said, heroically.
"Alright, let's get back on the trail!" Debbie said.
"Strap in, guys! We got more work to do!" Sandy said, as she got into the pilot's seat.
Everyone strapped in, as Sandy breached the Skyripper away.
Notes:
- The Knights defeat and imprison Seid (and the Atomic Flounder)
- Flare and Angel get away.
- Syphon dies trying to protect Seid.
- Shadow is returned to the year 2016, right before his death on Season 1 of Miss Appear.
- The Knights stay together as a group to continue helping Debbie return dimension hoppers to their rightful universes.

Nice work! I want to start by saying that I appreciated Elana's attempts to solve things peacefully, and she sure has come a long way since season 1, even if her trust in people can still be a bit shoddy. The twist with Aunt Dolly cutting the rope was pretty good, and it seems the entire time Gideon really had no plans to stop the war before it started, which is incredibly disappointing, but hopefully he can still be reached. The ending was so hype, though! Villains from the past assembled for the final showdown! This is gonna be good. But OH NO, the finale is next, and I'll have to accept that the show is truly going to end. Once again, you've made me fall in love with an action packed show filled with so much adventure, and I'm gonna miss it forever.

Oh god, from beginning to end, that episode kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved everything about the temple quest, as Madison, Jake, Drew, Ramos and Vexacus (particularly the latter three) confronted their individual destinies. But god, Drew's death took me out! Such a sad scene! Vexacus offing Tobias and then joining a group of bounty hunters seemed pretty par for the course of what he dreamed, so that's that. Jake and Madison rescuing Cameron though, was the complete highlight of all of this. I am so glad that Cam's back, and I can't wait to see how the rest of the team reacts. And oh boy, let's hope Ramos hasn't done some dumb shit by summoning this Malgus character. Here we go, the beginning of the end......

Miss Appear
Ep.54 "The Clear"
Katherine's Narration: "Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure."
The Clear
The scene shifts to a serene place, with deep blue skies, warm breeze, and bright sunlight.
We pan to an open temple. Inside, Katherine is seen laying on top of a stone table structure. She appears to be asleep, or unconscious. A white nightgown outfits her body.
Suddenly, her fingers begin to move, her knees lift a little, and her eyes begin to open. Her vision appears blurry, but a white light glows near her, as it transforms into a woman.
The woman, dressed in a priestess-like outfit, hovers over Katherine, which scares her a bit.
Slowly, a scared Katherine regains her bodily functions, as she gently lifts up.
"W-what happened? W-w-where am I?" Katherine asked, with her heart beating fast and chills racing across her skin.
"Take it slow." the woman replied, softly.
Katherine stared at her intensely.
"You are safe here." the woman continued.
"Where is here?" Katherine asked.
"You are inside the Clear." the woman revealed.
"The what?" Katherine asked.
The woman slightly chuckled. "My dear, you are a part of something much bigger than you ever realized."
"Who are you?" Katherine asked.
"I am a manifestation of the Clear. But, you may call me Cecile." the woman said, with a smile.
"So, you're a spirit? That's... not weird at all." Katherine said, awkwardly.
"I can tell that you're very skeptical. Maybe feeling a bit unsafe. But, Katherine, you need not feel those things." Cecile told her.
"You know my name..." Katherine said.
"I know everything about you." Cecile said, as she began to walk off.
"Hey, wait!" Katherine said, following after her.
The two arrived outside on the steps of the open temple. Katherine took in her surroundings, noting the deep blue skies and the serene-but-eerie feel.
"I feel like I'm in a dream." Katherine said.
"Nope, you're just in an alternate plane of existence." Cecile told her.
"Nothing here seems natural. It seems synthetic, but magical." Katherine noted.
"Of course. After all, isn't everything in nature a little bit magical?" Cecile stated, as she returned to the inside of the temple.
"Hmm, I guess so." Katherine said, following after her. "Ma'am, I don't understand..."
"Understand what?" Cecile asked.
"What happened to me. How I got here. I remember my entire body just... disappearing. Then, I wake up here." Katherine said.
"You might have been feeling your powers acting iffy before you disappeared." Cecile said.
"Yeah. They were working, then they went away, and then they started working again. Ya know, before they devoured my body!" Katherine said.
"Your powers didn't devour you." Cecile said, with a giggle. "It was the Clear descending upon you. Pulling you in and calling you home." Cecile said.
"Why?" Katherine asked.
"As your powers grew, it was inevitable that you'd access the Clear. After all, your powers come from here." Cecile told her.
"What? I thought I was born with my gifts." Katherine said.
"It's not that you weren't exactly, it's just that upon birth, the Clear chose you." Cecile revealed.
"For what?" Katherine questioned.
"To be one of it's warriors. To harness it's gifts, powers, abilities..." Cecile revealed.
"Was I the only one?" Katherine asked, thinking it over for a moment.
"Of course not. The Clear has empowered hundreds across centuries. Through every universe and dimension. Across all of space and time." Cecile told her.
"Like my sister, Molly?" Katherine asked.
"You and your sister share a blessing." Cecile said.
"The power of invisibility and telekinesis. Sure do." Katherine said, as she put her hands on her hips.
"My dear... you think you have telekinesis?" Cecile asked, with a laugh. "You have a lot to learn. And I think that's why you're here."
Katherine raised her eyebrows.

Bikini Bottom
Mermalair
In the lair, Bonnie watched as Tim worked on a strange new invention.
"You've been designing those glasses for months. What are they supposed to be? Or do?" Bonnie asked, over his shoulder.
"Emit heat. I'm fashioning them as a weapon for me to use in the field." Tim said.
"Oh crap, heat vision?" Bonnie questioned.
"I was thinking of naming it something like... sulfur vision." Tim said, scratching his head.
"I can't help but think that you've been designing this, because I won't use my clam cry." Bonnie said.
"Bonnie, I have no problem anymore with you not using it. I told you this already." Tim said.
"Yeah, well, you can be underhanded sometimes." Bonnie said.
"And you can be annoying most of the time." Tim tease.
"You're an ass." Bonnie whispered.
Suddenly, the Mermalair's systems got an alert.
"Crime? Tim questioned.
"No, no..." Bonnie said, pulling up live feed. "Mayor Krabs is giving a speech at City Hall."
"Your dad..." Tim said.
"He's nothing to me." Bonnie said.
The two watched as Krabs' speech began.
"Good morning, citizens of Bikini Bottom. I want to take this time out to extend gratitude to the people behind the Bikini Bottom Restoration Project." Krabs said, to much applause. "Seriously, they have done tremendous work in helping to restore the city after the attack of terror inflicted by Dirty Dan. But, out of the ashes, Bikini Bottom has remained triumphant! Now, there's... another matter that I've been wanting to speak on. For about a year, actually."
Bonnie raised an eyebrow.
"You see, I have another daughter." Krabs revealed, inciting a loud range of reactions. "Pearl, who I adopted, was not my first child. As a young man, I unknowingly conceived a daughter with a childhood friend. This daughter, who was the one to find me, is now a grown woman. For security purposes, I won't reveal her identity, but I will say that I hope you get the chance to see her by my side in the future." Krabs finished, as he hurried off stage with his security detail.
Bonnie was absolutely stunned.
Tim looked at her, wanting to reach out, but unsure how to.
"... Bonnie, you okay?" Tim finally asked.
"I- um... yeah, yeah." Bonnie said, in a daze of emotions.
----
The Clear
Katherine had changed into some nomadic-like, white colored clothes given to her by Cecile. She met the mysterious spirit outside the temple, in the courtyard.
"So, you told me that I had a lot to learn about myself... my powers." Katherine said, rubbing her arm.
"Well, you're all changed into comfortable clothes now, so why don't we begin." Cecile said.
"Oh boy, where to start." Katherine said, half-sarcastically.
"First of all, you do not have telekinesis, but through use of your powers... you've been able to simulate it." Cecile revealed to her.
"So... so... what are my powers? I've just spitballed a definition all this time." Katherine said. "Now it seems like I don't even know what I can do."
"You have the ability to render yourself, others, and objects wholly or partially invisible at will by mentally bending all wavelengths of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light." Cecile told her.
"Well, I pretty much got that. Go on." Katherine said.
"As an extension of your invisibility powers, you can also mentally generate psionic fields of invisible force drawn from the Clear, to which you are able to manipulate for a variety of effects. You can shape your fields into simplistic invisible constructs such as barriers, columns, cylinders, domes, platforms, ramps... and the list goes on." Cecile continued.
"I tamper with barriers often. Interesting to know." Katherine said.
"But did you know that by generating additional force behind these constructs, you are able to use them as offensive weapons?" Cecile asked.
"I didn't." Katherine said. "I'd like to learn how."
"As I knew you would. Follow me." Cecile said, with a smile.
The scene shifts, as the two are shown walking through a beautiful, lush park. Trees, bushes, and the warm bask of sunlight made Katherine feel good.
"It's like... this place exemplifies the real world... even though it isn't?" Katherine questioned.
"The Clear, as a dimension, is a manifestation of the beauties that exist on Earth. That's very true. But it's own thing, through and through." Cecile told her.
The two came upon a tree filled with hanging apples.
"Are we here to eat?" Katherine asked, humorously.
"I want you to strike down one of these apples. How about... that one hanging in the center?" Cecile asked.
"With what? My telekinesis-like power?" Katherine asked.
"There you go with that again." Cecile said, laughing. "The energy of your invisible force fields can be manipulated to wrap around objects or other people to simulate telekinesis."
"Ah, I see..." Katherine said.
"Though, that is now what I am asking you to do." Cecile said. "I want you to strike down the branch holding the apple with an invisible disc."
"How do I..." Katherine started.
"Like this..." Cecile said, as she curved her right hand together and waved it out at one of the branches. An invisible disc released from her hand, cutting down the branch, as the apple falls to the ground.
"Whoa..." Katherine said. "Alright, I'll give it a whirl."
Katherine did as Cecile had done, but produced a slightly larger disc that cut down five different branches. Her cheeks turned red from embarrassment.
"Sorry... overkill, I guess!" Katherine said.
"No, no. Now we have more apples to... bake a pie!" Cecile spitballed.
Katherine playfully shook her head.

Bonnie's Apartment
Bonnie was seen sitting on the couch, watching the evening news reports.
"Seven months after the Devastation of Bikini Bottom, the city's beloved her, it's cloaked crusader, Miss Appear, is still nowhere to be seen. With crime rates on the steady rise, one has to question: whatever happened to Miss Appear?" Perch Perkins spoke.
"Wondering the same thing..." Bonnie whispered to herself.
"In other news, last week's confrontation on the docks between the Black Clam and alleged gangsters, has still left hundreds in some parts of the city without power, thanks to the hero's sonic scream tearing down power lines." Perch Perkins said. "Along with that, some damage to the docks, which have left people questioning if superheroes like Black Clam are doing more harm than good, especially at a time where the city is trying to recover through the efforts of the restoration project."
Bonnie seemed annoyed and upset. "Yeah, make me feel worse about it."
Suddenly, there was a knock on her apartment door. Bonnie got up and looked out the peep hole, surprised to see Krabs standing in the doorway, surronded by six members of his security team.
Bonnie opened her door. "Mayor Krabs..."
"Why so formal, Bonnie? I think there's something else you'd rather call me." Krabs whispered.
"Ohhh, I certainly have some choice words. None of them include 'dad' or 'father'." Bonnie said, angrily.
"Gentlemen, I'm gonna step inside and have a word with my daughter." Krabs told them, as they nodded. "If she... lets me."
Bonnie sighed. "Just come in."
Krabs walked inside, as Bonnie closed the door shut.
"What do you want?" Bonnie asked.
"Okay, I'm assuming you haven't seen my speech this morning." Krabs said.
"Oh, I saw it. And they were mentioning it again on the news, just before their little report on Miss Appear's seven month disappearance." Bonnie said.
"So... why are you so angry with me? I told everyone the truth. That I have another daughter." Krabs said.
"Because it took you almost a year to do so!" Bonnie said, emotionally. "You didn't want to acknowledge me back when you found out. You tried to hide it, even from me."
"I was wrong." Krabs said.
"You said that last year too, but... it still took you like eight months to claim me to the public?" Bonnie asked.
"I was going to, I swear! But, then the Devastation happened, Miss Appear vanished, and the city was thrown into chaos. They needed a mayor they could RELY on in that time of crisis. It coming out that I had a secret daughter? After everything that went wrong with the previous mayor hiding things about his life? Like his son, Shadow? I couldn't risk causing a controversy at a time when the city needed saving and soothing."
"I'll... uh, take your little spiel into consideration." Bonnie said, sarcastically.
"You're still so hurt, and I'm sorry that I caused that." Krabs said, trying to hold his own emotions together.
"SHE'S DEAD!" Bonnie shouted out, as she finally let her tears flow.
"... W-w-what?" Krabs asked.
"My mother, the woman you knocked up." Bonnie said. "She finally passed five months ago."
"I'm so sorry..." Krabs said.
"I flew out to Karate Island - alone. I buried her - alone." Bonnie said. "All the while, my father was not there for me. I thought that when I buried my mother, that would be the last time I had a parent in my life."
"Doesn't have to be, I'm here." Krabs said.
"That's the thing. I don't want you here." Bonnie replied.
"I wanna be your father." Krabs expressed, with a look of pain flashed across his face.
"Too late." Bonnie whispered.
Krabs nodded. "I really hope you come around, because I am not giving up on you."
With that, Krabs quickly left.
Bonnie stood there, feeling more torn than ever.

The Clear
At the temple, Katherine and Cecile sat on the floor, with both sitting criss cross as Katherine meditated.
After a few moments, Katherine opened her eyes. "Whoa..."
"What is is?" Cecile asked.
"You were right. Meditating here in the Clear made me feel... powerful. I'm not even sure if that's the right word, but I was in tune with myself and the power within me. It was like I was energized." Katherine stated.
"Like a battery." Cecile replied.
"Exactly." Katherine said.
"Here in the Clear, you are literally engulfed by your power. In the outside world, you can call on the Clear to increase those powers." Cecile told her.
"It's all so strange, but... amazing." Katherine divulged.
"And it's getting you ready." Cecile mentioned.
"Wait... ready for what?" Katherine asked.
Cecile looked uneasy now.
"Just tell me." Katherine said.
"As I told you before, the Clear has empowered individuals across the centuries to fight for the world." Cecile said. "A lot of would-be disasters through history were prevented because our 'invisible' soldiers acted to stop them. Natural disasters, assassinations, the list goes on."
"So, there were invisible heroes before I showed up?" Katherine asked.
"Behind the scenes. You are the first to go on and become a public superhero." Cecile replied.
"I can... stop natural disasters?" Katherine questioned.
"Your powers will grow beyond a scope you could have only dreamed about before." Cecile told her.
"Hmm.." Katherine said, thinking it over. "And speaking off assassinations... who exactly was doing the assassinating? If that's even a word."
"A group that's also been invisible to history. Only this group are not of the supernatural variety. They are skilled assassins, a highly dangerous team of individuals." Cecile said.
"Are they the threat that's coming? The something you've seemed to be inferring?" Katherine asked.
"No. The threat that's coming is even more powerful.... because he's one of you." Cecile revealed.
"As in... powered by the Clear?" Katherine asked.
"Indeed. And he's determined to find others. And to destroy the Clear." Cecile revealed.
"Who is he?" Katherine questioned.
"Killian Collins." Cecile spoke.
"Killian? Well... that's not on the nose or anything." Katherine said, sarcastically.
"He's had years of practice with his ability. Far exceeding your time with your powers." Cecile warned.
"So I train here... for now, and then I go back home and stop him." Katherine said, intensely.
"If that's what you desire." Cecile said, proudly.

Mermalair
The next morning, Bonnie is seen arriving at the Mermalair, as she sees Tim on the computer system.
"Good morning, Barnacle Boy." Bonnie said, teasingly.
"Good morning. You look pretty rough." Tim said, turning around to her.
"Yeah, well... I couldn't really sleep last night." Bonnie said, walking over to him.
"Everything alright?" Tim asked.
"Krabs came to visit me yesterday." Bonnie said.
"No joke?" Tim questioned.
"Security detail and all. Me and him talked in my apartment alone though." Bonnie stated.
"And?" Tim asked.
"He apologized. Fed me all this crap about how he wanted to acknowledge me as his daughter beforehand, but the crisis in the city prevented him from doing it." Bonnie told him.
"I mean... from a logical standpoint, it makes sense. Every mayor or mayor-elect this city's had over the past few years has been rocked by some insane controversy or near assassination. Actual assassination in Martin Roger's case." Tim said.
"Look, I get all of that. I actually do. But, how he acted before the Devastation of Bikini Bottom even took place...? Even going as far as to fake the paternity test? That still hurts." Bonnie said.
"So, do you ever see yourself forgiving him?" Tim asked.
Bonnie was hesitant to answer the question. "Ya know, I told him about my mother's death, and how I was alone for all of that."
"Bonnie, you know me or Annie would have dropped everything and went to Karate Island to help you bury your mother." Tim said.
"That's not what this is about. This is about my father not being there." Bonnie said. "He wasn't there then, so I don't want him there now."
"What are you saying?" Tim asked.
"I've accepted that I have no parents on this planet. I am all alone." Bonnie said.
Tim sighed, unsure how to change her troubled stance. "Look, I loved to continue this, but something a bit more pressing at the moment requires our... professional attention." Tim said.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Bonnie said, wanting to talk about anything else anyway.
"Remember when I hacked into the BBPD a few months ago?" Tim asked.
"Yeah, to get ahead of leads for all the crime we were dealing with. I didn't even blame you, it's been hell out there the past half year." Bonnie said.
"Yeah, well, I came across some intel today. For a case they just opened up." Tim said.
"And what case is that?" Bonnie questioned.
"And invisible assailant who has so far stabbed up multiple criminals in the city over the past week. Including two men who tried to rob the Krust Krab." Tim said.
"Whoa, this is... weird." Bonnie said. "How has this assailant murdered these criminals?"
"Stab wounds, leaving 'claw-marks'." Tim revealed.
"Claw-marks? Are you serious? Are we dealing with an invisible catfish here?" Bonnie questioned, humorously.
"The fact that we're dealing with an invisible-anything is cause for concern, wouldn't you say?" Tim asked.
"You think this could be related to Katherine?" Bonnie asked.
"What if it could be Katherine?" Tim asked.
"Unless she's become Crosskill again, that wouldn't make any sense..." Bonnie said, refuting the idea.
"We don't know what happened to Katherine. We have no idea what's become of her or if she even knows what's become of her." Tim said.
"Let me get this straight. You think she's a scattered-brain, violent, serial killer now? Who has no idea what she's doing?" Bonnie questioned.
"Maybe?" Tim shrugged.
"Then, you don't have the same faith in her that the rest of us do." Bonnie replied.
"Trust me, I do." Tim said. "I just wouldn't put anything past this crazy world we live in."
"Well, after aliens literally dropped out of the sky last year, I'd have to agree with you there." Bonnie replied.

That was great episode! I really liked everything with Bucklend, the amnesia, and him assuming his even stranger Dennis Baloney persona. Also, the triumphant return of Ramos made this episode all the better, including a clearer understanding of their past through the flashback sequence. All around, a good episode, even with most of the cast absent.
