Miss Appear
Ep.53 "Whatever Happened to Katherine?"
Molly's Narration: "You see things and you say why. But I dream things that never were and I say why not?"
Cross Household
The episode begins with Molly arriving in the living room, all dressed and ready for school.
Marilyn gets up from the table, where she'd been going over some of her case files. Taking off her reading glasses, she gives Molly a stern look.
"About time! You're gonna be late, again." Marilyn said.
"Sorry, mom, I've just been... off lately." Molly said.
"You're stretching yourself too thin, methinks." Marilyn said. "All that volunteering you do with the youth division of the Bikini Bottom Restoration Project, on top of homework and volleyball."
"Well, it provides me with community service hours, which I need. Plus, it's the ONLY way I can help out the city now that you've banned me from being Kid Appear!" Molly complained.
"Molly, please! Not this again. You've been singing the same song for months." Marilyn said.
"Half of Bikini Bottom went up in flames thanks to all those explosions Dirty Dan caused, then Katherine disappeared!" Molly said.
"Honey, I know! It's not like these last seven months have been a dream - in fact, they've been a nightmare that I can't wake up from. My daughter, your sister, is GONE." Marilyn said.
"So why don't you let me put on the mask and help the city as Kid Appear? The crime rates have been on the rise for months, and you won't let me do a damn thing about it!" Molly argued.
"Watch your tone, young lady." Marilyn said.
"I get it. You want me to be safe. You don't want me to disappear like Katherine." Molly said.
"I want you to be a normal high school girl. My god... you're a high schooler now. Where did the time go." Marilyn said, reflecting.
"Mom... I can be so much more." Molly said.
"Molls, get to school, please. I have so many case files to go over. I'm so backed up. But, after I got out of that coma, I realized that I needed to put my law degree to use at last." Marilyn said.
"And I should be putting my powers to use." Molly said, turning invisible and storming out of the house.
Marilyn groaned. "Why does she do that lately?"

Mermalair
In the lair, Bonnie reviewed the monitors, while Tim went ham on a punching bag.
"Tim, dammit! Can you be anymore distracting?" Bonnie asked.
"What the hell? Just trying to keep in shape. Especially since there's been so much damn crime lately. I'm almost at my wits' end." Tim said frustrated.
Bonnie walked over to him. "I understand. It's been... a difficult few months."
"Yeah, I feel like I'm basically protecting the city alone." Tim said, shading Bonnie.
"Excuse me?" Bonnie asked.
"That sonic device you used to wear... it mutated your lungs, providing you with a natural sonic scream." Tim said. "However, you refuse to use it."
"It's dangerous and out of control, Tim! I opened my mouth and KILLED Pinhead Larry with one scream. Since then, I vowed never to use it on anybody." Bonnie said.
"You won't even try to practice to make it more stable!" Tim argued.
"Tim, I can't, okay? What do you even care? I'm a skilled fighter, and I'm out there EVERY NIGHT alongside you fighting all of the crime that's surged in the city." Bonnie said.
"But if we had your sonic scream as a tool in our disposal, we could turn the tide against the wave of crime we've encountered." Tim replied.
"I'm sorry. My answer is no..." Bonnie said.
At that moment, the elevator door to the mermalair opened, as Analise stepped out.
Tim and Bonnie were both shocked and surprised.
"Analise!" Bonnie said, as she ran over to hug her.
"Annie, you're back. It's been... three months, yeah?" Tim asked.
"After Kathrine had been gone so long, I knew I had to travel the sea... and look for her." Analise said, with pain in her eyes. "But, in all the time I've been gone. I haven't found anything."
"That sucks." Bonnie said, disappointed.
"Yeah, we really need Kathy back." Tim said. "With Miss Appear gone, the Snake Eyes think they can do whatever they want. They've been recruiting more impressionable young "kids" into their gangs. It's been hell out there."
"Yeah, and Tim was just pressuring me to use my newfound clam cry to turn the tides." Bonnie told Analise.
Analise gave Tim a disapproving look.
"You know how destructive her scream is. We all tested it out in the Bikini Bottom Forest. Total decimation of that area we were in." Analise recalled.
"Oh come on! It wasn't that bad! Not if she can get a handle on it, but she has to at least try." Tim said.
"Tim, I think you're just a little crabby, because Adam left a few months ago." Bonnie said.
"Do I miss Adam? Hell yeah, but he chose to get out of this shithole. A shithole that I am trying my hardest to put back to it's former glory." Tim said.
"Bikini Bottom will be fine." Bonnie said.
"It hasn't been so far." Tim said, shaking his head.
"Okay, forget about the surge in crime. The Bikini Bottom Restoration Project has been making great gains. They've rebuilt so much of the destroyed parts of the city in just half a year." Bonnie noted.
"Uh, Tim... I think you need to clear your head a little. How about you take a little walk with me." Analise said.
"What? Where?" Tim asked.
"The Krusty Krab. A girl just got back in town, and she's hungry!" Analise said, referring to herself.
"I'll continue to check over the monitors." Bonnie said, as she whispered a 'thank you' to Analise.
Analise silently nodded, while Tim was getting onto the elevator.
The scene shifts, as the pair arrives inside the Krusty Krab. Analise immediately notices April, who is dressed in police officer attire.
"Uh, Tim... find us a table, yeah?" Analise asked him.
"Sure thing." Tim said, confused.
April finished paying for her meal, to-go, as Analise approached her.
"Analise..." April said, a bit caught off guard.
"April Argotto, nice to see you." Analise said.
"I didn't know you were back in town." April said.
"I didn't know you were a... cop now?" Analise questioned.
"Oh yeah, six long grueling months, just to call this badge mines." April said, briefly pulling out her badge.
"What inspired you? To go into law enforcement, I mean?" Analise asked.
"Seeing Bikini Bottom become lawless after the terrorist attack by Dirty Dan." April said. "Ya know, that was all around the same time that Katherine just dropped off the face of the Earth."
"April, not this again..." Analise said, sighing.
"No, no, I'm really curious." April said. "Whatever happened to Katherine?"
Analise bit her tongue.
"You can't keep keeping the truth from me!" April said, emotionally. "She was my girlfriend."
"April, I don't know what happened to her. That's the total, complete truth. I promise." Analise said.
"Then why do I still not believe you?" April said, storming off.
Analise sighed, as she went over to the table that Tim had chosen for them.
"That seemed intense." Tim said.
"That was Katherine's, uhh, girlfriend." Analise said. "Well, former girlfriend, at this point."
"I'm aware. Anyway, can we order now? Or was this less about food and more about you trying to give me some stern talking-to?" Tim questioned.
"The latter, maybe." Analise teased.
Tim crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"Tim, it's just me and you now. Tell me what's going on." Analise said.
"What do you mean?" Tim asked.
"Don't think Bonnie hasn't sent me updates about the two of you from time to time. In one of those updates, she says you've hardened a lot. I got a front row seat to that today when I came back." Analise said.
"Katherine disappeared, Adam left..." Tim said, as he began to breathe heavy.
"It's okay to let your emotions out. It's 2019, I'm sure you know that, right?" Analise asked.
"It's just, I've dealt with a lot of that in my life." Tim said, holding back his tears.
"What?" Analise asked.
"People leaving." Tim said, finally allowing himself to cry.
"... Mermaid Man?" Analise asked, after thinking it over for a second. "That's what all of this has reminded you of, hasn't it?"
"Yeah, maybe a bit. After he left the scene, I couldn't do it alone." Tim replied.
"The hero thing... or life?" Analise asked.
"Both." Tim admitted. "He was my best friend. It sucks that I don't get to have him around everyday."
"Well, I'm not gonna ask where he is, because I know you won't tell me." Analise said.
"Now, Adam's left me too. I still loved him." Tim said.
"Did you tell him that?" Analise asked.
"Why do you think he left?" Tim asked.
Analise's eyes widened.
"Love is hard. Especially losing the one you love." Analise said, putting her hand of Tim's.
"Tell me about it." Tim said.
"And hey. You may have lost people, but don't forget about the ones who are still here." Analise said, flashing him a warm smile.
"Thanks Annie." Tim replied, smiling back.

Michael's Apartment
Molly knocked on the door to Michael's apartment, as he opened in a hurry.
"Molly, what's up? What are you doing here?" Michael asked.
"I came straight over here after school. We need to talk about mom." Molly said, walking in and tossing her bookbag on his couch. "Oooh, nice couch."
"Molly, what is this about? Mom driving you nuts? That's exactly why I got my own place. No parents to tell me what to do." Michael said, smiling.
"Well, I am still a few years away from being able to legally do that, but in the meantime, I have to find some middle ground with our mother." Molly said, pacing back and forth.
"Whoa, whoa, chill out. Tell me what's got you so worked up." Michael said.
"She won't let me be Kid Appear." Molly said.
"For good reason! Look what happened to our sister." Michael said.
"More the reason that I should be out there taking up her mantle! I mean, the city is not safe right now." Molly said.
"Mom doesn't want you to end up dead." Michael said.
"We don't know that Katherine's dead." Molly said.
"It's been seven months. We don't know anything. That's... not a good sign." Michael said.
"Doesn't mean that it's a bad one." Molly said, determined to remain positive.
"I can see you really trying to keep it together. It's okay to fall apart." Michael said.
"That's not what this is." Molly said, shaking her head.
"Molls..."
"Why aren't you out there? I mean, you're an adult who isn't confined to mom's rules. You can do what you want, so why not become a superhero?" Molly asked.
"I vowed never to use my powers of hypnosis ever again. That's something I'm standing by." Michael said.
Molly went silent.
"The last time I did, I was a supervillain who terrorized his own family." Michael said.
"That wasn't you, not really." Molly said, trying to soothe his pain of recollection.
"No, that was Mindcross, and I don't wanna be him again. Ever again." Michael said, with a serious tone.
"I get it. Using your powers would sink you back into a dark place. And after you got out of rehab... I get not wanting to risk it." Molly said, nodding.
"I'm glad you understand." Michael said.
"I can understand you. I just wish mom could understand me." Molly said, sighing.

Bikini Bottom Police Department
At the BBPD, April arrived in the breakroom, as she warmed up her sandwich in the microwave.
"Argotto, why didn't you tell me you stopped by the Krusty Krab?" Detweiler joked upon entering the room.
April laughed. "Nah, sir, I stopped by there early this morning. I'm just warming up my leftovers. Long shift, ya know?"
"I get it. I told you being a cop was gonna be hard work, but you've been sailing through. You were one of the most promising recruits, and I recognized that from the beginning." Detweiler said.
"Thank you, it really means a lot." April said.
"No problem." Detweiler said, as he left out.
"Sucking up to the boss?" Garcia asked, as he was sitting down at a table.
"Why don't you finish your dinner and worry less about me." April said.
"Didn't mean to be rude." Garcia said.
"And yet..." April replied.
"What's bitten you in the butt?" Garcia asked.
"I don't know, maybe that my girlfriend's been missing for seven months and her friend and loved ones won't fess up about it!" April blurted out.
"Wow..." Garcia said.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to blurt all of that out. I'm just... frustrated." April said.
"Who is this girl? Maybe we have a missing person's case on her." Garcia stated.
"Nah, her friends and family didn't file one." April said. "Her name's Katherine Cross."
"Wait... Cross?" Garcia asked.
"You know her?" April asked.
"Oh yeah. She used to work here at the station. We were partners for a while." Garcia revealed. "Never cared too much for her, though, I gotta be honest."
"Well, she's been missing. I lose sleep every single night wondering where... and why..." April said, visibly frustrated.
"Well, you're talking to a police detective here, kid." Garcia said.
"What do you mean?" April asked.
"I could help you, ya know?" Garcia offered.
"You wanna help me investigate this?" April asked.
"A little off-the-books side project never hurt anybody, right?" Garcia replied.
April chuckled. "Wait, but I thought you said you never cared much for her?"
"Yeah, but deep down I knew she was a good kid. Just one caught up in a lot of... odd shit." Garcia said.
"Odd shit?" April asked.
"I mean, yeah. A number of weird things have surrounded Cross since as long as I've known her." Garcia said.
"Then how about we go ahead and untangle some of these threads? And maybe that can lead us to wherever Katherine's disappeared to in present day." April said.
"Let's do it." Garcia said, raising his eyebrows.

Mermalair
In the lair, something popped up on the monitor.
"Guys!" Bonnie said.
Analise and Tim rushed over.
"What is it?" Tim asked.
"I think we're looking at a drug shipment in a back alley. Prawn's bakery." Bonnie said.
"Why is that spot so popular?" Analise questioned.
"Alright, suit up." Tim told them.
"Actually, I'll stay and watch over the monitors, but you guys go." Analise said.
"Well, it'll probably be a simple beat down, so let's do it." Bonnie said, looking at Tim.
After Tim and Bonnie suited up, they made their Prawn's Bakery, stationing themselves on the roof.
Down below, five gang members were seen standing behind a truck, unloading boxes.
"Got em!" Bonnie said.
"Seems too easy... and sloppy." Tim said, concerned that something was off.
"With Miss Appear gone, of course they all think they can be sloppy with it. Let's go!" Bonnie said, jumping down into the alley. Tim jumped down after her.
The five gang members turned around, seeing them approaching. They pulled out their guns, but Tim tossed a mermarang, which knocked all of the guns out of their hands.
Bonnie swiftly took down three of the guys, as Tim beat down the remaining two.
"Hey... check those boxes." Tim said.
Bonnie opened up the ones sitting on the ground.
"There's nothing in them but bubble wrap!" Bonnie said, shocked.
"Something's off!" Tim said.
The two turned around, hearing multiple footsteps.
Dozens of gang members came out of the shadows, all pointing guns at the two heroes.
"Oh shit..." Tim said, a bit unnerved.
A tall, bulky man stepped forward, sporting a buzz cut.
"Lester Lewis, is it? One of Dirty Dan's top gangsters. How does it feel to know that we totally decimated the Snake Eyes?" Tim asked.
"Do we look decimated?" Lester asked, raising his gun.
"It looks like you've led young, innocent kids astray in an attempt to rebuild what was brought down." Tim said.
"The Snake Eyes will never go away. Cut off one head, another will grow in it's place!" Lester said. "Light em up!"
Before they could shoot at the two, Bonnie released her clam cry. A massive sonic scream emitted that tore power cable, tore through the gang members, and wrecked some of the area.
As Bonnie quickly stopped, Tim shot a grappling hook and took Bonnie by the waist, pulling both of them to safety.
The scene shifts, as we see the both of them back at the Mermalair.
"What the hell happened out there?" Analise asked, concerned.
"The snakes set us up." Tim said.
"They probably thought if they got rid of the both of us, crime in the city could continue unimpeded." Bonnie said.
"Did you use your clam cry?" Analise asked.
Bonnie sighed. "Unfortunately. It was life or death for me and Tim. I chose the former."
"I see..." Analise said.
"Oh god, I don't even know if those guys are dead or alive!" Bonnie said, emotionally.
"Bonnie, I'm sorry it had to come to that." Tim said.
"Are you really?" Bonnie questioned.
"Look, I will never ask you to do that again, alright?" Tim made clear.
"Yeah, whatever." Bonnie said, taking in a big gulp of air.

Krusty Krab
Molly and Marilyn were having dinner at the Krusty Krab.
"You haven't touched your krabby patty." Marilyn said.
"Not hungry." Molly said, dipping her kelp fries in sauce.
"Did you go and see your brother today?" Marilyn asked.
"Did he tell you that?" Molly asked.
"No, some things I can just... feel. I don't need to be a mind reader like you." Marilyn said.
"I asked Michael for some perspective on you." Molly said.
"Me?" Marilyn asked.
"How to deal with you clipping my wings!" Molly said.
Marilyn bust out in laughter. "Honey, no one is quote unquote clipping your wings. I just want you to have a normal life." Marilyn said, as she began to talk low.
"Normal by your standards. But, I see a different way for myself. And lately, I've been asking... why not?"
"You're under my roof, Molly. Don't push this, please." Marilyn said.
"Fine, whatever." Molly said, angrily.
At that moment, three masked robbers stormed into the restaurant.
"EVERYONE, HANDS UP!" one of the robbers said, pointing his gun around.
Panic began, as customers and employees alike screamed in terror.
"This is ridiculous! Has this city fallen to it's knees so much that it's not even safe to eat out with your kids in a family restaurant?" Marilyn questioned, as she stood up.
"Mom!" Molly said, standing up as well.
"Shut your trap, lady! We're here for the money in that cash register over there... along with any valuables that you customers all might have, hahaha." the robber spoke.
Marilyn could tell that Molly wanted to do something.
"Molly, don't try to play the hero..." Marilyn whispered.
Molly gave her mother an angry glare.
Suddenly, a loud claw-like noise was heard, as the robbers' bodies were cut up by a seemingly invisible force.
Within seconds, the robbers dropped dead.
"Oh my god." Marilyn said, shocked.
The entire restaurant was in disbelief.
"Everyone remain calm! The police are on their way!" an employee said, from the back.
"What the hell just killed those robbers?" Marilyn asked, turning to Molly.
"More like who." Molly said. "And whoever it is, I don't think they're good news."
----
Unknown
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."
Katherine didn't exactly know how to feel, but she was knew that this was certainly about to be the start of something... strange.

Jjs, that was a wonderful episode. If this is the last "filler" ep for the show, then I think I liked what you did with it
not only because bananas are my favorite fruit. I enjoyed the convo Skipper and Jake had about the Bannamelon stories, and how you were really speaking on the style of spin-offs past and present. Your intention to honor the writing legacy of not just yourself but our community was reflected well in this episode, which had an appropriately light vibe.Also, really hoping that whole "amulet taking Skipper's life force"-thing doesn't come back to bite him at some point in these last few episodes. But, we'll see..., really liked Jake and Skipper's chemistry here too.
Overall a great episode, and congrats to you for ten years of fanfiction and all of the passion you've put in. It's been appreciated and respected

AWESOME chapter to end the year out. I was just thinking not too long ago that I wanted MG to do something fun with time travel, so this episode came just in... well, time! I thought the whole thing with the clock snail being broken was very sad, and I was happy to see the scene of the gang fixing it and solving the anomalies. It was fun to get a look back at previous episodes/scenes, the benefit of doing a time shenanigan episode of a show after so many seasons worth of material. Reminded me of doing the same with TS in it's last season. I felt bad for Cameron getting tricked like that with Atlas, but at least out of this he discovered that his dad was basically the white deer the whole time. Now, he's stuck in that barren dimension/world thanks to Atlas, but I'm confident within the final episodes we'll see this plot fold into the other stories and Cam will hopefully be rescued.
Another tidbit, I thought Atlas could have made for an interesting season-long enemy if there was another season. His powers seemed pretty OP lol.
All in all, a wonderful end to 2018 with MG. I look forward to (and mourn) the last batch in 2019.

Knights of the Multiverse
Ep.11 "Operation: Kill Sandy Cheeks"
Universe-45
The Fireflyer pulls up outside of Seid's base.
Flare got out of the ship, visibly angered.
"FLARE!" Syphon yelled, running outside.
Flare and Syphon hugged, as Seid speeded outside as well.
"When we saw a successful breach into this universe, we knew it could only be you." Syphon said, caressing her cheek.
"Why didn't you come for me!" Flare said, looking at Seid.
"Excuse me?" Seid questioned.
"You didn't come for me! I was in the Knights' hands - they forced me to dredge up my past even. I escaped by myself!" Flare said.
"No, you didn't." Seid said.
"What are you talking about?" Flare asked.
"I did help you, contrary to what you think. I confronted Shadow... on Universe-2." Seid revealed.
"You did?" Flare asked.
"Let's just say that you're 'escape' wasn't so miraculous. We now have one on the inside..." Seid revealed, flashing an evil grin.
----
Skyripper
On the Skyripper, the Knights huddled around the central console.
"So, Flare's escaped. Probably back with Seid and Syphon by now." Debbie stated.
"We can't change that, but we can do better. We need to secure any other Universal Guardians out there in the multiverse." Sandy said.
"Hey, what about that one Universal Guardian? Denise, I think..." Shadow mysteriously asked.
"She's safeguarded with members of the I.J.L.S.A on Universe-2. They've got her held up at the Fortress of Seclusion." Sandy revealed.
"Hey, hey! Maybe don't tell that to the guy who was working against us not too long ago." Marshall said.
"Marshall, when are you gonna get it through your head that Shadow is one of us now?" Sandy asked.
"Yeah, just chill out." Debbie said.
Shadow gulped, feeling guilty.
"I'm gonna go use the bathroom. I'll be back." Shadow said, rushing off.
"Look what you've done." Melondy jokingly said.
"WHAT?!" Marshall said.
"You've upset him, obviously. I thought you two came to a truce. At least, I heard so from Mel." Tomoya said.
"Yeah, we did. But, still. I wouldn't trust the guy as far as I can throw him."
Just then, Lillian's virtual head popped up over the central console.
"A hopper has been detected on Universe-5." Lillian announced.
"Thank you, Lillian. Do you have information on who it is?" Sandy asked.
"A petty criminal from Universe-2, Clifford Cavanagh, or The Shocker." Lillian announced, as his picture was displayed.
"Hold up, wait a minute..." Sandy said, in shock.
"Sandy, you know this man?" Melondy questioned.
"I know his Universe-1 counterpart. He was a mad scientist on Karate Island who used electricity-producing metal gloves to assist him in crimes he committed." Sandy revealed.
"Then I guess this version of him is gonna be just as insane." Melondy said.
"Lillian, do you know why he's gone to Universe-5? And where exactly?" Debbie questioned.
"He's located on Karate Island, and in Universe-5, the island is known for its Museum of Ancient Technologies." Lillian revealed.
"He could be after some kind of tech there." Tomoya said.
"Yeah. Lillian, set a course!" Sandy ordered.
"I'm gonna check on Shadow real quick." Melondy said, taking off.
In the kitchen, Shadow is seen on the phone with Seid.
"Shadow, good to hear from you." Seid said.
"You said if I gave you what you wanted, you wouldn't touch my mother." Shadow reminded him.
"I remember. I make good on my promises. Let's see if you make good on yours." Seid said. "Do you have information I need on Denise?"
"Yes. The I.J.L.S.A of Universe-2 is holding her up at something called the Fortress of Seclusion." Shadow revealed.
"Thank you. I'll be in touch again." Seid said, immediately clicking off.
Shadow quickly got off the phone and put it into his pocket.
At that moment, Melondy speeded into the kitchen.
"Shadow? I thought you were using the bathroom? I was coming to check up on you. Make sure you were feeling alright." Melondy said
"I just needed a bit of space. Sometimes, Marshall's little attitude gets to me." Shadow said, fudging the truth.
"I see." Melondy said. "Well, don't listen to him. You know the person you really are under all that darkness."
"Thank you, Melondy." Shadow said, feeling guilty.
"Yeah, no problem. We have a new mission though. Might wanna come to the bridge." Melondy told him.
"Actually, I'm gonna hang back if that's okay? I'm not really feeling up to things today." Shadow expressed.
"I'll let Sandy know." Melondy said, rubbing his arm.
----
Universe-45
At Seid's base, he grouped with Flare and Syphon.
"We're all suited up. Now, what is this about?" Flare asked.
"I'm assuming Shadow?" Syphon asked.
"He gave me the info I was seeking." Seid revealed.
"The location of Denise Reynolds?" Flare asked.
"She's at the Fortress of Seclusion." Seid revealed.
"The what of what?" Flare questioned.
"The Mermaid Man of Universe-2 has an icy fortress in the arctic. That's what he calls it. I should've guessed that those leaguers would stash her up there. How could I be so stupid!" Seid said, in frustration.
"Great. We know where she is, now lets go get her." Flare said.
"Hold up. We need more manpower." Seid said. "Which is why i asked you guys to suit up. We're taking a trip to Universe-6." Seid said.
"What the hell is on Universe-6?" Flare questioned.
"Universe-6 has a species of people alongside regular fish who are actually born with superpowers." Seid revealed.
"Whoa. A whole race of powered people? Incredible." Flare said.
"I agree." Syphon said.
"Unfortunately, prosecution against them is intense. We'll be breaking a couple of them out of a F.I.N prison there." Seid told them.
"Sounds like fun." Flare said.
"I'm glad you think so. Let's go." Seid said.

Universe-5, Mainland, Karate Island
The Skyripper lands in the White Forest of Mainland on Karate Island.
"Alright, we're here." Sandy said, getting out of the pilot's seat.
Debbie raced to the central console to check out any active reports in the city.
"A robbery in progress at Mainland's Museum of Ancient Technologies." Debbie revealed.
"Just as Lillian predicted." Melondy said.
"Time to go kick some ass." Sandy said.
The scene shifts, as people were seen screaming and running out of the museum. Inside, we see Clifford Cavanagh storming through the museum and attacking security officers with use of his metal gloves.
Finally, he comes upon a podium hoisting a blue and black boomerang-shaped piece of tech. A label under called it "hyper-cel".
"Finally!" Clifford said, removing the glass case covering the tech.
At that moment, Debbie crashed into the building through the roof.
"STOP!" Debbie shouted.
Clifford turned around, putting the piece of tech in his back pocket.
"And who might you be?" Clifford questioned.
Just then, the rest of the team arrived inside, coming through the front entrance.
"Ooooh, a whole team of you costumed freaks." Clifford said.
"We're the Knights. And we're taking you in for dimension hopping." Sandy remarked.
"I only did it so I could acquire tech that wasn't available on my world." Clifford said.
"What kind?" Melondy questioned.
"When I breached to this universe, I learned about hyper-cel. Able to boost the intelligence of any technological system. I knew it had to be mine!" Clifford said.
"You're not walking out of here with it." Debbie said.
Just then, Clifford was shot in the head by a bullet. His body hit the ground, with his brains leaking out on the floor.
"Oh my god!" Sandy said.
The entire team was shocked beyond belief.
"Is there a sniper around or something?" Marshall questioned.
At that moment, a person charges through the museum door. They are dressed in a black colored, robotic-like, knight outfit. They were armed with a large energy cannon.
"Uh, guys..." Melondy said, confused.
"Who are you?!?" Sandy questioned."What are you?" Melondy said, under her breath.
"And why did you kill Clifford?" Marshall asked.
The person did not speak or move.
"Don't worry guys, I got this!" Melondy said, speeding at the person.
The person lifted their energy cannon and shot at the speedster. Melondy was immediately blasted to the ground, unable to run.
"IT'S A SPEEDSTER GUN!" Tomoya shouted.
"THAT'S IT!" Debbie yelled, flying over to the person.
The person drops the cannon and runs toward Debbie, throwing out three mechanical balls. The balls circle around Debbie and emit a wave of blue energy that encases her inside!
"What the hell!" Debbie said, in frustration. Debbie tries to pound her way out of the barrier, using the fullest extent of her strength, but she is unable to.
Sandy, Tomoya, and Marshall look at each other in fear. Marshall and Tomoya charge at the mysterious person.Tomoya shoots icicles, but the person pulls out a long sword and cuts through them with proficient accuracy. As the person and Tomoya come head to head, they shoot out a taser from the wrist of their suit, which shocks Tomoya to the point of passing out.
Marshall tries to use his intangibility to sink into the floor, but the person drops down a strange gadget which activates and prevents Marshall from phasing, leaving him trapped between the surface."HEY! HEY!" Marshall yelled, trying to pull his body up from below the waist.
The person comes after Sandy, trying to slice her with a sword. Sandy dodges the person's many attempts, as she performs a karate kick that knocks the sword out of their hand.
"Who are you?" Sandy questioned, avoiding more attempted punches. Just then, the person is blasted across the room by an energy beam. Sandy looks over, seeing Melondy holding the speedster gun.
The mysterious person quickly makes a break for it, running out of the back of the museum.
"Not on my watch!" Sandy said, about to follow after.
"SANDY, NO!" Melondy screamed.
Sandy paused, looking back at Melondy.
"We don't know who we're dealing with. Don't go after them." Melondy said.
"Fine." Sandy replied.
Finally, the barrier holding Debbie shuts off, as the balls vanish in a spark of light.
"Whoa!" Melondy said.
The device disabling Marshall's power too deactivates and then vanishes in a spark of light. Marshall phases up, utterly bewildered by what happened, just like the rest of the group.
----
The team arrives back on the Skyripper, as they all gather in the captain's quarters.
"Alright, we all know that was weird." Sandy said.
"Weird? That's a start." Melondy said, dropping down on a bean bag.
"Who was that person?" Debbie questioned again.
"They seemed to be wearing knight clothing - like an actual knight. What if they're an actual knight?!?" Tomoya questioned, excitedly.
"... And you're excited about that?" Marshall asked.
"Well, NO, but I mean..." Tomoya said.
"An actual knight wouldn't have tried to kill us." Melondy said."Kill me." Sandy said.
"What?" Melondy questioned.
"That person - or thing, only tried to subdue the rest of you, but they wanted to kill [/i]me[/i]." Sandy emphasized.
"And subdue us they did..." Marshall said.
"Marsh is right. They were ready for us." Melondy said.
"Yeah, it's like the person knew who we were, how to contain us. Even ME. What kind of technology would be powerful enough to keep me contained in a barrier?" Debbie questioned.
"I wish we had been able to get our hands on a piece of their tech, but it all just disappeared into a weird bright light." Tomoya said.
"We don't even know what to call this strange person." Marshall said.
"Hmm... I like the idea of Black Knight." Tomoya suggested.
Just then, Shadow entered the room. "Black what? What happened?" he asked.
"Clifford's dead. He was taken out by some psycho dressed in a black knight outfit who was able to subdue every one of us and also tried to kill Sandy." Melondy revealed.
"Uhhh... I guess I missed a lot." Shadow said.
"Ya certainly did." Marshall replied.
"It could've been a member of the Scoundrels?" Melondy posed.
"I doubt it. We just handed them their asses recently." Marshall said, referring to the events of "The Two That Time Forgot".
"That wasn't their style." Sandy said. "What I do know is that the Black Knight matched me move for move." Sandy said.
"So, the guy was probably studying up on you and your moves - the same for us all probably." Debbie said.
"Yeah, right." Sandy said, finding it all very weird.
Sandy stormed over to the bridge, coming up on the central console. "Lillian, do you know anything about the person who tried to kill me at the museum?"
"I'm afraid not, Captain Cheeks." Lillian said.
The rest of the team followed her onto the bridge.
"Is the person a native to this universe? I mean, we didn't get alerted to any breach..." Marshall said.
"That's the thing. We have NO IDEA. We don't even know where this person took off to." Sandy said.
"Was quite cowardly for them to run before I got my speed back." Melondy said.
"Oh, that's one thing of their's we have. The speed cannon." Sandy said.
"Do you wanna inspect it for fingerprints or anything else identifiable?" Tomoya asked Sandy.
"Sure, let's get to work on it." Sandy said.
The ship's alarm system went off, as Lillian popped back up over the central console.
"I was able to detect a breach to Universe-6, I believe it may be Seid." Lillian revealed.
"Oh my god, we've finally been able to track a breach of the Fireflyer." Debbie said, excitedly.
"Thank goodness, Lillian. Now what are they up to on Universe-6?" Sandy questioned.
----
Universe-6, F.I.N Containment Unit for Mutates
Mass chaos is seen and heard at a F.I.N prison. Seid, Flare, an unknown woman, and a man with a "third eye" and monstrous appearance, are seen escaping through the courtyard.
Several security guards race toward them, raising their guns.
Seid speeds over to them, collecting their guns. He then speeds back to his group.
"What are you gonna do without your toys?!?" Seid asked, as he drops the guns on the ground in front of him.
From the sky, the Fireflyer arrives, as we see Syphon piloting it. Syphon activates the ship's fire cannons, as she burns the security guards to a crisp.
"You said you'd free us now from our inhibitor collars." the man said.
Seid vibrated/phased his hand through both of their collars, as they deactivated.
"Thanks. My name is Ariel Summers. But, I call myself Angel." the woman said, as she grew two huge angel-like wings from out of her back.
"I call myself Flounder - the Atomic Flounder." Flounder said.
"I know who both of you are. Why do you think I broke you out of this hell hole?" Seid revealed.
"We're looking for recruits to our task force." Flare said.
"Part of which consists of traveling the multiverse." Seid said.
"Multiverse?" Flounder questioned.
"As in different universes. I mean, why would you want to stay in this one? A universe that treats powered people - mutates, as they call you - like trash? You'd be better off coming with us." Seid said.
Angel and Flounder looked at each other.
The Fireflyer lands in the courtyard.
"Make up your minds now, before more resistance is sent to back this prison up." Seid said.
Just then, the Skyripper breaches into the universe, as the ship lands in the courtyard as well.
"The Knights." Seid said, angrily.
"How the hell did they track us here?" Flare questioned.
"The non-tracking technology on the Fireflyer must need an upgrade." Seid said.
"Yeah, a serious one." Flare said.
The Knights exit the Skyripper.
"SEID!" Debbie yelled.
"If it isn't the itty bitty heroes." Seid said.
"We'll show you itty bitty." Debbie said.
"Who are these people?" Flounder asked.
"No matter that. Show them who you are." Seid said, smirking at Flounder.
Flounder stepped forward.
"I don't like that guy... he looks mean." Marshall said.
"He looks like a monster!" Melondy said.
Debbie stepped forward as well. "I have a feeling he's about to show us what kind of monster."
Flounder took a deep breath in and then ejected a powerful concussive beam from his third eye. Debbie immediately blasted at the beam with her heat vision. The resulting collision caused a powerful explosion in the courtyard, which sent all of the Knights blasting into the ground.
"LET'S GO!" Seid yelled.
Seid, Flare, Angel, and Flounder raced to the Fireflyer, as Syphon immediately pulled off and breached away.
The dust settled, as the Knights recuperated.
"We gotta go after them!" Debbie said.
Everyone boarded back onto the Skyripper. Sandy raced over to the pilot's seat, as she breached the ship into the Stasis Zone.
"Lillian, can you track Seid again?" Sandy shouted out, still piloting.
"I'm afraid his next destination is unknown." Lillian revealed.
Just then, a blast hit the side of the Skyripper, as systems began to fail.
"What the hell?" Sandy questioned.
Everyone strapped in tight, as more blasts were hitting the ship.
"Sandy, what's doing this?" Debbie asked.
"There's a small pod chasing us." Sandy revealed, after looking at the radar monitor.
"Lillian, who are we dealing with?" Melondy asked.
"I - " Lillian started, but her speech became slurred.
"Lillian's systems are being HACKED!" Sandy said, as the ship stopped it's motion.
"I can't move the ship, I can't move the ship!" Sandy said.
"Will someone actually DO SOMETHING?" Shadow questioned.
Debbie ripped off her seatbelt and charged off the bridge.
"DEBS, what are you doing?" Sandy asked, calling out to her.
Debbie raced to the cargo hold of the ship, as she opened the hatch doors and flew out into the stasis zone.
Debbie came across the blast pod, which had a very unique shape - designed as the head of a seahorse. In the center of the pod, the Black Knight from earlier could be seen in a large glass window, sitting down at the pilot's seat.
The Black Knight shot out a small missile from the pod. Debbie used heat vision to destroy the missile, as a huge explosion occurred.
"I'm getting sick of you!" Debbie said, as she shot her heat vision at the side of the pod.
The pod went crashing through the stasis zone, as it unwittingly breached to a random universe.
On the Skyripper, the power came back on and Lillian came back online.
"Lillian, are you alright?" Sandy asked.
"Never better." Lillian said.
Debbie flew onto the bridge.
"Was it the Black Knight? The psycho from earlier?" Tomoya asked.
"Indeed. I shot at their pod with my heat vision, taking it out." Debbie said.
"As in..." Melondy said.
"As in, this mysterious Black Knight went crashing through the multiverse." Debbie said.
"So, the Black Knight is a hopper. Interesting." Sandy said.
"And they can somehow be undetected. Which is... problematic." Tomoya said.
"Guys, you'll never believe it. Their ship was in the shape of a seahorse's head. The design was... intriguing." Debbie said.
"As is everything about our new Black Knight friend." Melondy said.
"How did this person manage to hack Lillian's systems?" Marshall questioned.
"I don't think we're getting answers any time soon." Tomoya said.
"Tomoya's right. Which is why we need to turn our attention to the main matter at hand. Seid." Sandy said.
----
Unknown Universe
The Black Knight's pod is seen having crash landed in a grassy field on some unknown universe.
The Black Knight steps out of the pod, rubbing their rubbing their head (though without removing their helmet).
The Black Knight then places a phone call. "Yes, yes, it's me. Operation: Kill Sandy Cheeks... is so far a bust. I'll proceed to the next point." the person said, with their voice disguised by a voice modulator.
NOTES:
- Universe(s) Introduced: Universe-5, Universe-6, Unknown Universe
- It is revealed that Shadow is feeding Seid information, working as a mole inside the group, after having been blackmailed into submission by Seid in the last episode after he threatened to hurt Vivian Coyne.
- An unknown assailant (named the Black Knight by the heroes) subdued the heroes and seemingly intended to kill Sandy. At the end of the episode, the assailant speaks to someone over the phone, saying that the operation to kill Sandy had so far failed.
- Seid recruits two "Mutates" from a universe containing an entire species of powered people. We are introduced to Ariel Summers / Angel, and the Atomic Flounder.

Another great episode. Once again, we have Tobias carrying out a hair brained (and unsuccessful) scheme, which never fails to crack me up tbh. It was cool seeing Percy and Duke from the old knight group, and I thought it was interesting that they'd become supernatural hunters (I also noticed the slight dig at Ghostbusters). All in all, the demon/ghost antics the gang fund themselves in this week made for an enjoyable episode.

Like previous years, our Secret Santa program is back once again!
Tis the season for giving. And what better way to do so than to go to the SBC store and purchase gifts for others. If you feel like getting gifts for your e-friends, then sign up for the SBC Secret Santa Program! For interested users, you have until Monday, December 17th to sign up. From there, I will PM people on who to get gifts for (I'll randomly pick the person you are Secret Santa for), and I will announce who gave gifts to who on Sunday, December 23rd, which will be the deadline for gift giving. How the giving feature will work is that you will tell me what item from the doubloon store you would like to buy for your person, and I'll give it to them, along with subtracting doubloons from you. You can only choose items that are currently active in the store, however. No rare/old items.
And please, if you sign up, you must participate. You can simply be a Scrooge or Plankton and just sign up and ignore the rest. But just remember, you'll be making another user sad in the process. Which is why I want people who will actually participate in this. So if you feel like spreading some Christmas cheer, then sign up in this topic.
On December 17th, the deadline to sign up for this, I will be PMing people on who they are getting gifts for, so you have a week to sign up. If you are worried you won't have enough doubloons, do not worry, as we have lots of opportunities to win doubloons.
Happy gift giving!

Great episode. I liked the exploration into Meritel's past and seeing how her/Elana's family history played out to present day. The reveal that Gideon, Dolly, and Cecil are Boboo, Batty, and Gelatos was interesting, as was seeing the stone of light again in the flashback.
