1. ## DUNGEON WITH NECROTITE ALTAR A dazed-looking man is standing next to a suit of armor that looks similar to HECHTER. A white flash and his soul rises from his body and floats into the suit of armor. The body collapses to the ground, while the armor looks up with red, glowing eyes and says, "I like boobies." The lights turn on, revealing the BLACK KNIGHT, SAPPHIRE (his assistant), FLUFFY, and FLUFFY'S ASSISTANT. The BLACK KNIGHT is furious at another failure by FLUFFY. FLUFFY tries to explain that transferring souls like that is a very traumatic experience and it doesn't always produce the most... sane... results. The BLACK KNIGHT threatens FLUFFY, telling him that if he doesn't want to die like his wife MATILDA, he'd better start delivering. FLUFFY says he can't. It's impossible. But... there may be an alternative. The BLACK KNIGHT tells SAPPHIRE to dispose of the body and take the IDIOT HOLLOW out to the woods and abandon it. FLUFFY tells the BLACK KNIGHT that if he used a stronger soul, like the BLACK KNIGHT'S, he could bypass the problem of a weak soul. In addition, he wouldn't need the whole soul. Just a piece of it. And it would be at the absolute control of the BLACK KNIGHT. The BLACK KNIGHT is tickled pink and tells FLUFFY to being immediate. FLUFFY says he can't. Not without the Necromantikon. The BLACK KNIGHT says that he's already got someone working on it. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM GILBERT is banging on the door, shouting to let him in. MAUREEN is behind him telling GILBERT that she doesn't want to see him. GILBERT says that she is his daughter and he has a right to see her. MAUREEN tells him that GILLIAN is scared of him. SAPPHIRE appears and tells GILBERT that the BLACK KNIGHT requests his presence at the strategy meeting in 15 minutes. GILBERT begrudgingly leaves. SAPPHIRE asks MAUREEN if she is alright. MAUREEN says she is and asks how long until the rescue attempt begins. SAPPHIRE says that things are in already in motion. ## ROAD A carriage being escorted by a couple knights and MINA is traveling down the road. A young woman with purple hair runs up, screaming for help. She says she's being followed by a group of zombies. MINA tells her not to worry to head back to the carriage. The zombies arrive, and from the carriage pops out BART with the Necromantikon and RUBY. BART opens the book and starts to recite some magic works, but he forgets the last few words. RUBY corrects him and the zombies collapse into a pile of dust. BART turns to the girl and purple to tell her that she is safe now, but she hits him in the head with a branch. She grabs the book and puts it on her back. RUBY appears to stop her, but recognizes the girl. "Amethyst?" RUBY asks. AMETHYST grabs RUBY at knifepoint and tells the others that she is taking RUBY hostage and not to follow her. On AMETHYST'S command, a group of VAMPIRE KNIGHTS appear and attack the carriage while AMETHYST slinks off into the night with RUBY and the book. ## COURTYARD AMETHYST arrives at the BLACK KNIGHT's castle with the book and RUBY. SAPPHIRE and calls her a spy and has AMETHYST and RUBY sent to the dungeon. The book is delivered to the BLACK KNIGHT. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM LUCILE is cleaning MAUREEN'S room. MAUREEN asks what is going on with the plan. She can't leave the room. LUCILE says she doesn't know. It's been days since RUBY arrived with the fake Necromantikon. By now, the rescue plan should've started, or at the very least, the BLACK KNIGHT should've realized that the book is fake. LUCILE says she needs to go clean the dining hall. MAUREEN tells LUCILE that she loves her, LUCILE responds with a kiss. LUCILE leaves. ## DINING HALL GILBERT is in the dining hall where LUCILE, dressed as a maid, is cleaning up. GILBERT starts some small talk, saying it looks like rain tonight. LUCILE doesn't answer. GILBERT asks if she hates him (which, of course, she does). He talks about how he used to feel before he was resurrected. Lost, confused, angry. And how he was wrong. He tells her that he all of MAXIM's memories in addition to his own. He remembers growing up with LUCILE and the adventures they went on, and how it is so strange to be staring at someone who is at once a complete stranger and his oldest and dearest friend. They reminisce about one of the adventures, before LUCILE catches herself. She tells GILBERT that he's no MAXIM, and GILBERT replies that she's right... he isn't. LUCILE leaves. But he wants to be. FLUFFY appears, having completed the experiment, and wants to talk to GILBERT. ## PRISON CELL DUNGEON, RUBY and AMETHYST are chained to the wall, arguing. SAPPHIRE comes in and says she's going to rescue them. She reaches for a key when BLACK KNIGHT walks in followed by FLUFFY'S ASSISTANT, talking about a recent success. He starts to interrogate AMETHYST, but RUBY intervenes, challenging the BLACK KNIGHT to a duel (with no shortage of insults to get him angry). RUBY and BLACK KNIGHT fight. BLACK KNIGHT stabs RUBY in the chest, who then collapses to the floor dead. He tells the corpse that he is immortal, unable to be killed - even by his own family. He tells the guards to leave the corpse, so the sisters could be together. SAPPHIRE gives AMETHYST an apologetic look and leaves. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM SAPPHIRE appears at the quarters of MAUREEN and GILLIAN. She tells them that the timeframe for the plan has been sped up. It appears the fake book didn't work. Somehow, the BLACK KNIGHT'S plans were completed anyway and they needed to get out of there, now. MAUREEN asks about the reinforcements. SAPPHIRE tells her that they are miles away, hidden in a cave, waiting for SAPPHIRE'S signal. Even if she got the signal to them right now, it would be hours, at least, before they got here - and they didn't have that long. LUCILE arrives and is told to pack now, they were leaving. ## PRISON CELL DUNGEON where RUBY is dead on the floor and AMETHYST is hanging in shackles. AMETHYST apologizes to RUBY. She didn't know how she got mixed up in all this, but once she got in too deep, there was no way out but forward. She wishes there was some way she could take it back and start over. RUBY wakes up and tells her not to worry and unshackles her. Being a half vampire, she doesn't die so easily anymore. They sneak out through a grate in the wall to rescue MAUREEN and company. RUBY and AMETHYST are going through the air ducts to the dungeon and come across a something (unseen). Ruby admits that the book was supposed to be fake. There's no way. The horror in both their faces. Change of plans. AMETHYST is going to the cave a day's march to the east to get reinforcements while RUBY continues with the rescue plan alone. ## DINING HALL The BLACK KNIGHT and FLUFFY bring up the first animated armor, called the HOLLOW, to show GILBERT. He seems ecstatic, showing GILBERT how he can command it to jump and pretend to be a fish and stuff. He then instructs the HOLLOW to go kill MAUREEN and GILLIAN. GILBERT moves to stop the HOLLOW, but the BLACK KNIGHT stops him with a sword. The BLACK KNIGHT tells GILBERT that he knows the book was fake and that him and FLUFFY were conspiring against him. GILBERT denies it, pleading with the BLACK KNIGHT not to kill his family. The BLACK KNIGHT attacks. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM MAUREEN, LUCILE, and GILLIAN are getting ready to go. SAPPHIRE is urging them on. They don't have much time. The HOLLOW breaks through the door and attacks. LUCILE takes GILLIAN and hides in a corner while SAPPHIRE and MAUREEN attack the HOLLOW. They put up a good fight, but MAUREEN is stabbed, retreating to the corner with LUCILE and GILLIAN. SAPPHIRE continues fighting but is disarmed. Just when the HOLLOW is about to attack SAPPHIRE, RUBY appears from behind and beheads it. She grabs the head and tosses it out the window. RUBY runs over to SAPPHIRE. They have a sisters moment. RUBY asks if SAPPHIRE can move. She can't. She's hurt too badly. Go on without her. RUBY says never. She'll carry her if she has to. And with that, she is stabbed through the chest from behind by the headless HOLLOW. The HOLLOW then turns to MAUREEN and GILLIAN, raising its sword. It stops. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM Behind them, the BLACK KNIGHT throws the beaten and bloody bodies of GILBERT and FLUFFY to the floor. He lifts GILBERT's head up to show him the scene before him. He tells the HOLLOW to kill the maid first. GILBERT produces a sword and stabs the BLACK KNIGHT through the heart. I can't let you kill my friend, he says. The BLACK KNIGHT starts laughing. He's invincible. But he coughs up blood. He is rather surprised by this turn of events. ## Flashback: DINING HALL Flashback: FLUFFY is talking to GILBERT in the dining hall. He tells him that the book they brought back is fake. GILBERT says that they need more time. FLUFFY says, he thinks they have the book. He wants to start immediately. GILBERT says that if he realizes the book is fake, he'll kill his family and everyone else. Just keep going with the plan. FLUFFY says they aren't ready. GILBERT says, it's fine. The plan stays the same. FLUFFY says that GILBERT has to be the one that kills him. It won't work if it isn't a family member. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM BLACK KNIGHT stumbles. What's happening? The HOLLOW collapses. GILBERT explains that he knew that only a family member could kill the BLACK KNIGHT. But, the BLACK KNIGHT protests, that's not possible. He was too strong. GILBERT tells him that putting pieces of his soul into the HOLLOW men weakened it just enough that he could do it. And without the BLACK KNIGHT to lead them, the HOLLOW would all cease to function. GILBERT has won. The BLACK KNIGHT is dying. The BLACK KNIGHT asks him why. GILBERT says that he has to protect his family... and friends. But the BLACK KNIGHT is his father. GILBERT says that he was never any father to him. The BLACK KNIGHT laughs a long laugh and says that he is impressed. It was a good plan. He was so proud of his son, but there's still enough life in him to do one thing... The BLACK KNIGHT stands up with his sword and charges at GILBERT. GILBERT tries to deflect, but loses his sword. The BLACK KNIGHT tries to stab GILBERT, but is stabbed instead, by GILLIAN. The BLACK KNIGHT falls over, dead. GILLIAN runs to GILBERT and hugs him, saying, "Daddy". GILBERT comforts her and tells her that it is all over now. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM GILBERT and LUCILE are tending the wounded. GILLIAN is looking out the window. They hear a howling sounds. GILLIAN tells them that it is coming from the HOLLOW in the room. It starts to move. GILBERT and LUCILE grab the twitching HOLLOW and toss it out the window. What's going on, asks GILBERT, why is it still moving? GILLIAN, watching from the window says that it is moving different now. GILBERT looks and says that it is almost feral. FLUFFY says he doesn't know. He didn't think it was possible... unless... The soul links were working in reverse. Instead of the BLACK KNIGHT keeping the HOLLOW souls bound to this plane of existence, they were keeping his soul bound. The body was dead, but his soul was still inside it, in a sort of soul coma. But with the links being in the wrong direction, the HOLLOW would have become feral - most likely intent on following its last command... to kill MAUREEN and GILLIAN. Before GILBERT can say anything, he hears another howl. Then another. Then five more. The night air is filled with the sound of howling. GILBERT asks FLUFFY how many HOLLOW he made. FLUFFY tries to explain that he needed to create enough to weaken the BLACK KNIGHT. His soul was very strong. How many?! Ten? Twenty? Fifty? RUBY, waking up, says there are hundreds. She saw them in the dungeon. Everybody is angry. HUNDREDS? FLUFFY says he soul was VERY strong. GILLIAN, peering out the window, tells the guys that the HOLLOW are pouring out into the courtyard. They are heading this way. ## DIFFERENT ROAD AMETHYST is running across the plains and meets an army of armored warriors (off screen). She asks if they are the reinforcements. Yup. She says that she is surprised to meet them. She thought they were still a day's march away. They are, it is explained. That's why we're here. AMETHYST doesn't understand, but follows them back to the BLACK KNIGHT'S castle. ## MAUREEN'S ROOM GILBERT looks at SAPPHIRE and asks about her escape plan and reinforcements. SAPPHIRE plays dumb, but RUBY says that AMETHYST went for reinforcements, but it was a day's march away. Didn't want them to be spotted by the BLACK KNIGHT and the cave was as close as they could get. LUCILE says there's no way we can survive two days against hundreds of those things. GILBERT grabs FLUFFY and tells him that they need a plan, NOW. GILBERT asks him if they could break the soul link between the BLACK KNIGHT and the HOLLOW and if that would stop them. FLUFFY says yes, that would do it, but it was beyond his power. He doesn't understand how this is happening, and there's no way he'd be able to stop it. GILBERT asks if destroying the BLACK KNIGHT's body would do it. FLUFFY says, no. It would just release the soul from the body, but it'd still be bound to this plane by the HOLLOW. GILBERT asks, well, what if we move the BLACK KNIGHT'S soul to another plane themselves? FLUFFY says that could work but that's beyond his ability as a necromancer. The HOLLOW starts banging on the door. GILBERT says, no it isn't. You brought me back from another plane. FLUFFY says that's true, but that required the power of a god. There's no way they could... unless... GILBERT says unless what? FLUFFY says that GILBERT is tied to that dimension. It would take much less power to get him into it... him and anything he was carrying. GILBERT says, you mean you can do it, but only if I go with the body? FLUFFY says, yeah, basically. GILLIAN says no, you can't! Don't leave me! GILBERT turns around and says that he has to, if he wants to save her. He wishes he had more time to get to know her. A headless HOLLOW (the one from before) bursts through the door, splintering it. GILBERT grabs a sword and starts fighting it. He yells back to the others to get into the other room and bar the door. He tells LUCILE to protect her family. RUBY stands up saying that she can fight. GILBERT says good, protect his daughter. RUBY says she will and ushers them into another room. Between GILBERT and FLUFFY, they manage to fling the HOLLOW out the window. The others will be arriving soon. They needed to get moving. They grab the BLACK KNIGHT'S body and exit the room. ## GILLIAN'S ROOM MAUREEN, GILLIAN, LUCILE, RUBY, and SAPPHIRE are in the room, shoving furniture up against the only door in. RUBY says that she thinks they made it. She goes over to SAPPHIRE and asks how she is doing. SAPPHIRE tells her that the wound is deep, but not fatal. She can't fight though. She was never the warrior that RUBY was. There's a banging at the door. MAUREEN stands up. Her wound isn't too bad, but it is slowing her down. She says that the door won't hold them for long. Behind her, from the window, a HOLLOW tries to climb in. LUCILE pushes the HOLLOW and it falls. She looks out the window and says, we can climb! There's an open window a floor above them, and the rocks are just uneven enough to climb. GILLIAN and LUCILE start to climb out the window. SAPPHIRE says she can't do it in her condition. RUBY decides to stay behind and protect her. MAUREEN says, I never liked you RUBY. RUBY responds, don't be stupid. Everybody likes me. MAUREEN starts out the window. ## COURTYARD GILBERT and FLUFFY are dragging the body of the BLACK KNIGHT. The HOLLOW are running around, all around them. FLUFFY says that they need to get to the necrotite altar in the dungeon. GILBERT says that the HOLLOW are ignoring them. FLUFFY says that they are looking for MAUREEN and GILLIAN. As long as they aren't perceived as a threat, they won't bother them. We probably shouldn't mention that we are going to shove the BLACK KNIGHT into an alternate dimension. The HOLLOW around them stop and star at GILBERT and FLUFFY. Dammit, FLUFFY! ## OUTER WALL GILLIAN, MAUREEN, and LUCILE are climbing up the exterior wall. LUCILE is helping GILLIAN climb, while MAUREEN is a little farther below them. They hear a howl coming from below them. There are three HOLLOW climb up the walls after them. MAUREEN fights the HOLLOW, knocking off two of them. However, the third one grabs her leg while falling, leaving him dangling there and her grip failing. LUCILE tells GILLIAN to keep going up and heads down to rescue MAUREEN. GILLIAN gets to the next window up, but it is closed and locked. ## GILLIAN'S ROOM The door bursts open and the HOLLOW flood in. RUBY fight them with all her might, trying to protect her sister SAPPHIRE. RUBY knocks them down, but they keep getting up. She's slashed and cut, but she keeps them at bay. They hear GILLIAN scream out the window. RUBY wants to help, but she has her hands full with the HOLLOW. SAPPHIRE looks out the window, when a HOLLOW attacks her from behind. She tries to fight it off, but it's slowly pushing her out the window. RUBY can't get to her. ## COURTYARD FLUFFY, GILBERT, and the BLACK KNIGHT'S corpse are surrounded by feral HOLLOW. GILBERT knocks over a courtyard lantern, which bursts into fire on the ground. It freaks out the feral HOLLOW. GILBERT grabs a piece of wood from the ground and lights it into a torch. He swings it back and forth, keeping the HOLLOW at bay. They may be invincible, but in their current state of mind, they are relying entirely on instincts, and instincts say fire bad. FLUFFY starts to drag the BLACK KNIGHT's body when he feels a droplet of water on his back. GILBERT screams for him to hurry! Get inside! It's about to rain! ## OUTER WALL GILLIAN is still trying to open the window, but it won't budge. It's raining now, causing the stones to become slippery. A HOLLOW below, fighting against MAUREEN and LUCILE, slips and falls. GILLIAN tries one more time to open the window, but loses her grip. She falls a bit, but catches herself. Her grip is slipping. Just when it finally slips and she begins to fall, a metal hand from the window catches her. It says, "Come with me if you want to live." It's HECHTER. ## GILLIAN'S ROOM RUBY manages to push away the HOLLOW she is fighting, and tries to rush over to SAPPHIRE. She is stopped when the HOLLOW pulls on the rug RUBY is on, and RUBY falls. The HOLLOW fighting SAPPHIRE almost has her out the window when a voice is heard yelling, "ROCKET PUNCH!" The rocket fist flies past RUBY, hitting the HOLLOW from behind, knocking it out the window, saving SAPPHIRE. The two women turn around and AMETHYST, HECHTER, and GIGGLES are fighting the remaining HOLLOWS. ## COURTYARD The rain finally puts out the torch GILBERT is carrying. The feral HOLLOWS begin inching forward. GILBERT pulls out a sword, as does FLUFFY. A HOLLOW jumps at GILBERT, but GILBERT swats it away. Two more HOLLOW approach. Suddenly, a battle cry is heard and a hundred HECHTERS rush in and start battling the HOLLOW. GILBERT and FLUFFY stand there, flabbergasted. "What the hell is going on," asks FLUFFY. GILBERT tells him, who cares! Grab the body and get moving. ## UPSTAIRS ROOM LUCILE is helping MAUREEN in through the window. MAUREEN sees HECHTER there next GILLIAN and asks him what he is doing here? HECHTER just says that they'll be safe there and that he is needed in the courtyard. He waves goodbye and leaves, the door locking behind him. MAUREEN and LUCILE grab up GILLIAN and give her a hug. ## GILLIAN'S ROOM RUBY, AMETHYST, and HECHTER are fighting the remaining HOLLOW - picking them up and throwing them out the window. GIGGLES is near SAPPHIRE performing first aid. Once the HOLLOW have been dealt with, RUBY asks what the hell is going on. GIGGLES says that HECHTER knew they needed help and sent his army. Unfortunately, HECHTER is still soulbound to the CITY OF THE DEAD, so he sends his regrets for not being able to come personally. RUBY says, if HECHTER is in the CITY OF THE DEAD, then who the hell is that, pointing the the HECHTER standing in the room with them. GIGGLES just giggles. ## DUNGEON HALLWAY GILBERT and FLUFFY are still dragging the body of the BLACK KNIGHT through the hallway. Behind them, the HOLLOW and HECHTERS are still pitched in battle. FLUFFY is perplexed. There's a hundred HECHTERS - but HECHTER is stuck in the CITY OF THE DEAD. And even with the Necromantikon, producing this many unarmored warriors that weren't blathering idiots would have to be the work of a necromancer of skills well beyond FLUFFY'S expert capabilities. A HOLLOW jumps out in front of them, snarling. It is tackled from behind by two HECHTERS, pinning it to the floor. The HOLLOW pushes one of the HECHTERS off, throwing it against the wall. It breaks into pieces and a blue souls floats out and disappears. A third HECHTER appears and pins down the HOLLOW with the other HECHTER. A third HECHTER appears and tells them to hurry. They can stall the HOLLOW but they can not stop them. Only GILBERT can do that by disposing of the BLACK KNIGHT'S soul into the nether realm. The HOLLOW starts the struggle, so the third HECHTER goes over to help pin him down. FLUFFY asks, "Who are you?!" GILBERT tells him that it doesn't matter, keep going. So they grab the BLACK KNIGHT'S body and continue. ## DUNGEON WITH NECROTITE ALTAR FLUFFY and GILBERT pull the BLACK KNIGHT'S body into the dungeon. FLUFFY runs over to the altar. He asks GILBERT if he's sure that he wants to do this. Once FLUFFY gets him to the nether verse, there's no guarantee that he will ever get him back. GILBERT says that he's sure. He has to save his daughter. FLUFFY begins chanting some magic words and GILBERT begins to glow. The BLACK KNIGHT begins to rouse. What's going on? He sees FLUFFY, and then glowing GILBERT. He screams NOOO!!! and then both GILBERT and the BLACK KNIGHT disappear in a flash of white. FLUFFY is alone. ## COURTYARD The HECHTERS and the HOLLOWS continue to fight. There is a flash of white light and the HOLLOWS collapse to the ground in piles of armor. The HECHTERS pause for a moment and then start celebrating. ## GILLIAN'S ROOM SAPPHIRE is able to move now, thanks to the first aid GIGGLES helped with. She is being help by both AMETHYST and RUBY. The HECHTER in the room says that it is over and that they are safe now. ## COURTYARD RUBY and AMETHYST, supporting SAPPHIRE, GIGGLES, MAUREEN, GILLIAN, and LUCILE are all in the courtyard with the celebrating HECHTERS. GILLIAN asks her mom if it's over. If her father is gone now. FLUFFY appears and tells her that it's true. He's gone. But he did it for her. He saved all of them for the sake of his daughter. FLUFFY turns to all the HECHTERS and says, "Now will somebody, PLEASE, tell me what is going on?" The HECHTERS look at each other, then one of them removes his helmet. It's MAXIM, in HECHTER'S armor. Then another removes his helmet. It's also MAXIM. Then another. And another. And another. They are all MAXIM. ## THE NETHER VERSE GILBERT is standing in nothingness, far as the eye can see. Home sweet home, he says to himself. He is answered by a voice, "Oh, I don't know. A few throw pillows and it could be quite cozy." GILBERT turns around and see MAXIM standing there. Great, says GILBERT, now I get to spend eternity with you. MAXIM says that he doesn't have to spend eternity there. He can help him back to reality. GILBERT asks what the catch is. MAXIM says that he wants to go with him. GILBERT tells MAXIM that he is a god. Can't he just go back whenever he wants. MAXIM explains that to return to being a god would require him giving up being MAXIM, and he doesn't want that. He's got a wife and wants to see his kids grow up. He wants to grow old. He wants to be MAXIM again. And for that, he needs GILBERT'S help. GILBERT asks if MAXIM wants to take his body, and MAXIM says that won't be necessary. He just wants to copy it, like he did before. GILBERT will still be GILBERT, but now MAXIM will be MAXIM. GILBERT asks if MAXIM will steal his destiny again. MAXIM tells him nope. He has his own destiny now, as a husband and father. GILBERT asks what will become of his father. A female voice from behind him says that he is in custody now. GILBERT turns around to find the GODDESS OF LIGHT. The GODDESS continues, saying that the BLACK KNIGHT is guilty of crimes against the gods, and now that he is beyond the protection of the godless plane, they can finally bring him to justice. GILBERT asks who she is. MAXIM says that she is the GODDESS OF LIGHT. Apparently, she's an old friend of GOD MAXIM, but he doesn't remember any of that. She's the one who is going to return them both to their families. GILBERT asks the GODDESS is, when he returns, if he will still have MAXIM'S memories. She responds that he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to she. She could remove them for him. GILBERT thinks for a second and says that he will keep the memories. They are the only good memories that he has. The GODDESS asks if GILBERT and MAXIM are ready to return and they both nod. Fade to white. ## COURTYARD FLUFFY is talking to GIGGLES, recounting what happened. GIGGLES and HECHTER tried to bring back MAXIM with the help of the ghost of the man who wrote the Necromantikon (MELVIN THE MAD MONK, not as angry as you'd think, but that dude is crazy). They could not bring MAXIM back entirely. They could only bring back his spirit, and only for a few minutes before it went back. HECHTER and MELVIN THE MAD MONK came up with a magical suit of armor that could bind MAXIM'S spirit to this plane for longer. Days. But it would still disappear after a while. One day, MAXIM'S spirit arrived and told them that he had a vision of the future. The BLACK KNIGHT had created an army and taken over the world. Everybody was dead. And it all happened here. He told MELVIN how the BLACK KNIGHT had placed his soul into a bunch of different HOLLOW and MELVIN thought he could do the same with MAXIM'S soul - but only temporarily. HECHTER built a bunch of new suits of armor, enchanted them for MAXIM, and built an army of MAXIM-HECHTER hybrids, ready to defeat the BLACK KNIGHT. GIGGLES tells FLUFFY that HECHTER wanted her to tell him that MATILDA is fine and living in the CITY OF THE DEAD. FLUFFY says, "She's alive!? I thought she was dead?!" GIGGLES says that they rescued her a while ago. She's fine. Still a bitch though. One by one, the MAXIM-HECHTERS flash as the souls rise up and disappear, the armor collapsing to the floor. As the last soul is rising to the heavens, an army of knights appears, lead by MINA and GUSTAV. We're the reinforcements, here to save... what did we miss? MINA draws her sword. Everybody turns around and standing there is GILBERT. GILLIAN runs up an hugs him. FLUFFY asks how he got back and GILBERT says that he was saved by an angel. WHat angel? Where? GILBERT says that he had somewhere else he needed to be. MINA is confused. Aren't they supposed to kill that guy? ## JENNY'S BAR JENNY, now visibly pregnant, is wiping down the bar. JEEBS is carrying a few boxes in from the back. He asks if she's sure she wants to open the bar again. They just recently liberated the town and the threat of war with the BLACK KNIGHT is still out there. JENNY explains that she won't be much of a warrior carrying twins and this is her bar and she's going to run in. JEEBS stops in his tracks seeing a figure off screen. He says, "You're back?" JENNY looks up from the bar. A tear appears in her eyes. She smiles. "You're late."
