While Ford isn't seen, he almost gets heard by the Disney Villains and travels to the Adult Swim Verse. Rick Sanchez who like Ford works on a science expermient sees a portal where Ford comes out and Rick calls Ford for being rude for interrupting his work with Morty who is with him. Ford takes Rick away from Morty to share notes about what Ford witnessed and Rick deducts that it has something to do with the mutiverse and the resurfacing of weirdness in Gravity Falls and to look into Ford's bunker for notes about Bill Cipher. The Ressurected Tofee howver is on their heels waiting for them to leave the Bunker. So he and his forces can destroy the bunker. Ford discovers a ressurection chant was how Bill managed to come back, Rick almost bails out on account of that it's a Ford mission, not one of his. Ford convinces Rick to help him mentioning Morty will be targeted eventually and so will everyone Rick cares about and Rick's own freedom will be taked away. Rick mumbles how Ford knows where to get him and puts a contact to Doc Brown and Cas.

Doc Brown and Castiel with Crowley in tow arrive through a portal like Rick's portal gun created and Ford questions how the demon knows and came along for the ride, with Rick pressuing Crowley on the matter. Crowley informs the men of the return of Bill and Toffee, Which Rick states that they already know that with his new army, Crowley snarks back pointing that he's a king, the king of hell and a demon and that Toffee attacked his domain just a little ago and stoles Weaponry from Hell with an arms dealer as an inside man. Ford fears Lydia is in real trouble with Toffee and Bill back and both of them probaly wanting to get revenge on her or kill her. Castiel agrees with Ford  and makes a quick search among the muliverses with one of Rick's inventions, Rick and Cas find the locatiion and note how Lincolin, Amanda and Cleo are there too. Doc who has done some adjustments on the Delorean with Ford to house more people to pick up the others as they lack another vechicle of transportation.

Ford arrives with Castiel, Doc Brown and Crowley who stop other soliders of Toffee from attacking the kids. Ford brings the kids up to date with Toffee, Bill and the other Disney Villains, he saw. Lydia is a bit worried about the resufracing of her two advesaries who singled her out during the Spear of Destiny situation and how they returned, Lincolin also shows worry that Bill and Toffee is out to kill both himself and Lydia.  Lydia takes Lincolin aside and they discuss that as bad as it is that the duo has returned, this may been a solution to their situations or at worst help. Lincolin correctly assumes that Lydia just wants Amanda and Cleo to be her family to some extent due to her bond with them like Ford being like a dad figure to her, yet with the former it's obvous the two are in disagreements regarding her. Lydia concides with this point, but it's been a while since she went on a quest with her other friends, as she has only done things with Lincolin, Ford, Ronnie Anne and Sid though Lincolin doesn't take that aspect seriously understanding her view point. Ronnie asks for Lincolin and Lydia to join them in the portal to the bunker with Ford, Lydia and Linc follow suit.

It turns off the bunker was damaged in part to Toffee's other allies attacking the bunker which Ford knows was him and Sid who unlike the other kids knows nothing about the duo asks Ford about Bill CIpher and Toffee. Lydia tells Sid about Toffee and his encounters with her, and her friends while Ford explains Bill to her. Sid then says why not get the others who stopped them before?, Ford states that they have to do this themselves as Bill is personal for him and Lydia, Lincolin asks what about himself as he is part of the trio and Ford aplogoizes to Lincolin. Doc, Crowley and Castiel who went looking for any sheets or anything that Toffee's allies didn't find or destory and Doc gives Ford an important paper that he takes, Crowley helps himself to a drink waiting for Rick to return.

Ford, Lydia, Lincolin, Amanda, Cleo, Castiel, Doc and Rick all read the important paper Ford still had outside his bunker which details a plan Ford has to defeat Bill which he didn't succeed in the first time due to a complication. Ford tells the group they need to find zodiac signs, 10 of them to bring down Bill. While Lydia, Lincolin, Rick and Doc get it, Amanda, Cleo and Castiel don't and ask how Ford knows this. Ford explains that Bill Cipher is more personal to him they know and theorizes that Bill is really trying to go after Ford and is using his bonds with Lydia and Lincolin to do so.

Chapter 2

With the team all set and ready to find the zodiac signs everyone bunks in beds. Ford in his sleep ends up encountering Bill. Bill cordially greets Ford and asked if he missed him, which Ford ignores and asks Bill what he is doing in his dreams. Bill mentions that is it wrong for him to visit Stanford and reveals that he knows Ford saw him come back and he knows that Ford is trying to put a stop to  him and that his little protege Little Red Braceface is pretty much following script.  Ford realizing that Bill had his allies attack Lydia and her friends to lure him out, threatens Bill that he will do more than stop him if he lays a hand on Lydia, Bill then questions what about the others, specifcally the turkey tail (Lincolin) who stares at the audience all the time and that it's selfish to put so much care in braceface (Lydia). Ford refirms his stance and says that Lincolin is her best friend and partner and that niether of them will let him have his way with Lincolin. He then tells Bill to get out of here and that he has no dominon in the world at his weakened state, Bill concedes and states that however things always change and his big plans will ensure of it. Ford wakes up and realizes hat they  are already on their way to their 1st destination as Doc decided to drive his car on auto drive. Except for Lydia and Lincolin, Ford succeeds in waking everyone up and tells them about his encounter with Bill in his head.

Doc believes that Bill Cipher must be some sort of dream demon if he can do that without being at full power, as that what' Rick belives is Bill's goal at the current moment to revive his full power. Qui Gon senses trouble in Ford about his encounter with Bill and offers a word with him on the matter. Ford asks Amanda and Cleo to talk about the plan to obtain the  question mark zodiac.

Qui Gon asks Ford what is troubling him and he seems shaken, Ford tells Qui Gon that Bill threatened them all and specifcally Lydia and Lincolin and that Bill used his concern for the former to lure him out to rescue them, He states that while he is proud of their success that both Lincolin and Lydia are still pre teens who have no idea how Bill works. Qui Gon reassures Ford that he has all the confidence that they can do something against him and Toffee. Shark Boy, Lava Girl, Craft and Jin show up at Ford's behest who he send to investigate clues and that they found something for him

Ford and Qui Gon come back with Craft, Jin, Shark Boy and Lava Girl with the first location found, Qui Gon gives the info to Rick, Filmore and Doc Brown while the others report to the rest of the team and that Toffee's cult is already on to them their plan as Shark Boy and Lava Girl having encountered a grass knight while Craft and Jin eccounterd Pinstripe, who was equipped with a wierd but dangerous weapon and tried to shoot them and he has back up with teenage hoodlums and a bald guy. Blissina realizes that the Gang Green Gang and Silco must have joined up with Toffee upon realizing their descriptions. Crowley puts it together what Pinstirpe was using and explains that it's a dark cannon to the confused group. Cas mentions is that among Crowley's weaponry and the demon confirms that it is indeed one of his own tools, but Crowley himself was heisstant to use it due to it's immense danger and cautious risk of being turned on himself so he sealed it away, he also only had one as well yet Craft confirms they were 7 of them and Jin adds that if they were replicated then whoever did it could maplutlate the weight of the cannons to work to one's physical strength, as he could lift one in a single hand if he had one where as Craft would need both for balance like a lot of the team

When it comes to the question mark symbol it goes on Ford leading Lydia, Lincolin, Amanda, Cleo and Rick to finding the symbol through a dark cave, Unknown to them NOS-4a2, Lord Dominator, Grime, Ushari and  The Gang Green Gang are also there with the the latter team lookng into the symbol.

The six find the question mark symbol and are then trapped by Lord Dominator, Grime and The Gang Green Gang. Ford remembers Dominator as part of the group who brought back Tofee and Bill CIpher and Dominator figures out he is who Cipher was talking about  and decides to have him captured for Bill though Amanda has different ideas though Grime joins Lord DOminator in fighting Amanda which Rick decides to help her. Lydia, Lincolin, Ford and Cleo sneak away from the two where Ace has Big Billy sit down on the 4 of them where NOS-4A2 and UShari show up ready to attack them, THe 4 get Big BIlly of them who Ace runs after to catch while Snake and Grubber hold Ford up with NOS-4A2 announcing that it's nice that Cleo is here because he has a suprise for her and Cleo wonders what and it's revealed.

Chapter 3

With No Symbols currently on Ford and Rick's radar. It is decided on by Ford that they should try to take an active investigation of the activities of Toffee and Bill. As this will become fruitful to their plans.

Rick alongside, Filmore and Doc Brown deduct the next location where Toffee's operations are located and it's in Space so they must head to Space  so they get to work on a rocket ship. Ford, Qui Gon and Craft offers to assist and away they go

Ford, Craft, Filmore, Qui Gon and Rick who work on their rocket ship wonder how about the weird occurences and what they will do with their symbols which they know BIll and Toffee are after. Ford sneaks off and hides in a glove compartment to make sure no one knows except himself. Then he calls the others to their space ship and to take a seat as they blast off.

Ford takes the rest of the group with him and leds them buy some stuff. He does his own research from an informant alongside Doc and learns that someone who matches Bill Cipher's description is here and Ford goes after him. Doc and Ford both after some invesitigation goes to an auction where Ford finds Bill and Ford gets Bill's attention. Bill is delighted to see Ford that they found each other and Ford asks Bill what's he doing here. Bill explains he's putting the next step to make a better more fun universe which Ford is not fooled by and neither is Doc. Bill then angers Ford by mentioning the fun he had with Lydia in her nightmare and that he can't protect her there or Lincolin for that matter, Doc notices Ford is lossing his tempet and tries to talk him out of it. Bill then taunts Ford further that once he gets his full powered hands on Lydia and Lincolin he'll make Ford watch him kill them just for the heck of it. Ford charges his weapon to hurt Bill and Toffee shows up and catches Ford and tells not to waste him time and maybe he should spend some time resucing his firends. Doc convinces Ford to stand down and find them. Ford realizing Bill and Toffee set up a trap decides to go get some help and he finds Amanda and Cleo who Ford and Doc help deal with Dominator as they navtigate how to find their friends. Ford's thought is proven right when Amanda tells him about what Lord Dominator tells him.

Chapter 4

Lincoln has managed to recover from his attack to the relef of Lydia, Ronnie Anne and Ford who have stayed by his side ever since he was unconsciousness. Lincolin asks how long he was out, and Ford tells Lincolin that he was out for 36 hours and that he being doing testing on Lincolin. Lydia who sat by Lincolin's bedside asks Ford what kind and Ford just says some kind. Ronnie Anne lightly hits him affectionaly glad that he is still alive which he does back to her. Lydia does tell LIncolin that he didn't fully recover as well he'll see, Lincolin asks Lydia what didn't recover and Ronnie Anne just states that just rub his gut

Ford decides to have Lydia and Ronnie Anne leave the room for a bit while he does more work on Linc when it comes to that and decides to do a scan on his body thinking Lincolin may be right and when Linc questions him if he's a doctor. Ford believes that only he really has any infomation with medical work since Rick and Doc are both scientists without medical degrees. Lincolin calls Ford arrogant as he is one too, Ford snaps back saying he's doing what he can and they are a bit too busy at the moment to contribute. After Ronnie Anne and Lydia discuss the topic at hand Ford calls the two back in as he is done.

Ford tells Lydia and Ronnie Anne that he found something unusual in Lincolin's cells and that what he inhaled earlier in those ashes might be doing some work on him and he may not be aware of it. Ronnie Anne is a bit tired and falls asleep which is when Bill CIpher arrives again

Lydia, Lincolin and Ford all not impressed with Bill's arrival and look ready to attack him. Bill taunts Lincolin about how his little creature he made. Linc asks how it came to be, Bill states that he was able to read into his great fear and use it on him, Lydia points out that he can't use it anymore which Bill brushes off. Toying with her braces, Bill took some enjoyment in watching Lydia nearly kill Morag as they made her lose control over a tom turkey tail kid who is clearly nuts as he stares at a wall. Lincolin takes offense to it and Bill just snaps his fingers and Lydia gets weighted down by bigger braces which Ford takes out a weapon and fires it at Bill. Lincolin trys to restrain Bill though Bill just drops Lydia on Lincolin telling him the adults need to talk knocking both of them out. Bill and Ford engage in conversation about their odds and Bill reveals he knows Ford has that riff that he's keeping to stop Bill from causing Weirdmageon and weaks his power. and that this game will get interesting. Ford tells him to get lost, Bill agrees but warns that things will change and Ford will the last of the crew to suffer.

Lydia's enlarged braces shrink as she wakes up and Lincolin asks Ford what to do now. Ford states that if Lincolin gets any more halluncations or visions inform him or Lydia. Also if he sees Bill Cipher in them

Ford lands with Crowley and they initally bicker about how they're going to get back to the others as Crowley scolds Ford for being careless and Ford likewise for being selfish. Doc contacts Ford saying that Louise somehow got to the ship and that Cleo, Ronnie Anne, Amanda and Blissina did manage to get back, but it will take a bit to get a safe spot for them.  Ford and Crowley have a truce and decide to go the safe spot. Ford is unsure of just their safety has it's too quiet, Crowley points out and lampshades the cliche and this is how NOS-4A2 makes his enterance and uses his powers to send them off a cliff and NOS-4A2 slams Ford to the wall, deciding to just kill him so he can't intervere with Bill Cipher as he slams Ford on the walls. Crowley eventually does land trying to think what to do as he watches NOS-4A2 brutally beat down Ford and Crowley just shoots him which has the energy vampire drop Ford.

Ford does take out his Quantum destabilizer and then uses it to attack the vampire while attempting to dodge NOS-4A2's attacks which include swoops, energy blasts and trying to slam his energy wings into Ford. Crowley does eventually figure out the weak spot is the body and NOS-4A2 is hiding it and Ford does just that and eventually NOS-4A2 is brought down and Ford intends to get rid of Toffee's right hand man and 3rd in command in the cult. NOS-4A2 turns into smoke and just disappears. Crowley don't blame Ford for it as he was unaware of it himself and Ford who limps after the battle finds the safe spot where is beamed up by Doc.

Chapter 5

Lydia, Lincolin, Ford, Amanda, Cleo, Castiel, Rick, Crowley, Blissina, Shark Boy, Lava Girl, Ronnie Anne, Louise, May, Dawn, Doc and James Rogers Arrive at Newtopia. Ford and Rick lecture the group about Amphibia and that this is a new land to all them and to be  extra careful.

Ford explains that this world is full of nothing but reptiles like frogs, toads, newts etc and this is one of the most unsual worlds he has heard of.  This digusts some of the girls though Lydia, Ronnie Anne and Louise seems to be quite exicited at such prospects. When called on this, Louise calls the other girls sissies and that they're tough like her, Ronnie and Lydia. Lydia states it's not a matter of toughness it's tolerance but yes that makes sense.

Lincolin asks Ford about what to do regarding Craft, Ford says that Doc will stay and keep a eye, as he is the oldest of the team, Doc does question this, considering Ford and Rick are old themselves.

Rick says at least he's armed and is agressive to match and Ford states that he's pretty much in charge so it's can't be him. Cleo concedes to this point and brings up the next question, what if Toffee is here, if he followed them the first time, why not this time. Ford explains that he has done research on the king and has learned about Amphibia's ruler, Crowley assisted him and explains that this guy is a goofy huge salamander and when he means huge, he means big.  Castiel is a bit more suspcious of the king than Crowley and suspects something bigger at play, Ford listens and gives asks Cas, Rick and Crowley to get the others out while he talks to Lydia, Lincolin, Amanda and Cleo. Castiel, Rick and Crowley agree and head out.

Ford talks to Lydia, Lincolin, Amanda and Cleo after sending everyone out led by Rick, Cas and Crowley. Ford talks to Lincolin asking if any more unusual aspects happened to him lately and Lincolin mentions that he was attacked and yet his injuries healed and quick, referring to it as a healing factore . Cleo asks Lincolin about his visions as Ford questions Bill's real plan and knows Toffee has hiding his agenda and now it's time for it to become apparent. Lydia who has been quiet is thinking about what's going with him and Ford asks of Lydia's opinon.

After Toffee blows up parts of Newtopia, Ford, Lydia and Lincolin decide they must split up to deal with the split up group  and that they must keep the land safe. Cleo, Castiel and Crowley are the odd ones who head to the castle intend to reside safety as Rick instructs them that Sid is in there somewhere and they can get her there.

Ford is out and about  on his own as he has witnessed the fight Sasha and Grime had with Anne and Luz. He theorizes that they must be on their side and decides to talk to them when Mandarin ambushes Ford intending to bring his head to Bill Cipher as a trophy. Ford unimpressed with the threat points out that Bill would rather have him alive due to Ford being Bill's favorite play thing. Mandarin then points why hasn't he told the others about the riff that keeping Bill at bay or that his protege's lack of sleep which made her easy money for Bill. Ford says he will tell her when he is ready to and that if Bill touches a hair on her, Bill will have himself to answer to.  Mandarin states that Bill won't yet and that NOS-4A2 will do just that, Ford fearful considering he was nearly killed by NOS-4A2 shoots Mandarin with his laser gun.

He tires again but Mandarin blocks it with his Sheild and he continues to attack with his organge gauntlets with a sword. Ford realziing that Mandarin is drawing from power gauntlets like Lydia but with the ability to emit energy power and sheild decides he needs to outlast it. Mandarin is relentless when trying to kill Ford and Ford takes every opening he can to hurt Mandarin. Mandarin as he fights takes shots at Ford for being foolish due to how old he and there isn't a way he can defeat him as he's a seasoned warrior and Ford is more of a phillospher much like Attuari who Toffee disposed of.  Ford then asks will would one do this as he knocks off one of Mandarin's power gauntlets uses it to slice off Mandarin's arm wielding his other glove with his shield.

Mandarin reels back and is ready to attack Ford for it even more furiously when Toffee steps out of a portal and grabs the monkey telling him it would be most unwise to do so. Ford confronts Toffee about his attack on the kingdom. Toffee states to Ford that this is just a prelude and once it is done, he will set his true plans in play and that means the end or subjaction of anyone who opposes them and his brand. Ford tries to understand that last part as Toffee leaves.  Ford finds Lydia and he is scared to see what happened to her and runs to get her to a hopsital as she was nearly killed by NOS-4A2 just like he himself was.

Ford runs into Anne and Luz and asks where a hopsital is as he has a hurt child in his hands. Anne and Luz immedaitely agree to take Ford to the Newtopia Castle as they see how hurt Lydia is. Ford, Ronnie Anne, Lincolin, Anne, Luz, Cleo and Amanda all work to help Lydia get her teeth back in place as NOS-4A2 managed them and it took a day to just thatLydia stated she had one fall out, Amanda said that only one tooth didn't fall out and they did what they do. Lydia moans how much she hates her braces.

Lydia wonders who Anne and Luz are, Ford tells her that he met them after dealing with Mandarin and they told him everything as Sid told them about Lydia, Ford and the others. Anne thanks them for helping out with the Cult and Luz explains that she tried to help them with getting Lydia's teeth back in place despite only meeting them.  Lydia wonders what else happened, Lincolin and Ford say that they lost quite a few of their allies to comas and trophization thanks to Toffee's attack so they weren't exactly 100% victorius.

Ford, Cleo, Amanda, Castiel, Rick , Marcy, Luz, Anne, Cricket, Ronnie Anne, Sid, King, Eda, Crowley, Blissina, Louise, Dawn and Sprig all set in to the castle room with Ford telling them he has something to tell everyone. Rick and Castiel both correctly assume it has to do with Bill, Ford says that he's has a interdemisonal rift that he's been hiding from everyone and that he has to keep it safe because this is the main thing keeping Bill Cipher from entering their deminsion. Amanda questions why are they looking for symbols then, Ford answers that he wants to counter Bill in case he does, Luz then to the suprise of Ford presents to him what she got at the Boiling Isles and that he didn't ask them when he met them. Rick probes Ford about the interdemisonal rift and how he thinks that'll work, When he's a expert of interdemisonal travel, Ford concedes to this point with Ford's only advantage is his knowledge on Bill Cipher.  

Ford decides to wait for tomorrow to get on the case of dealing with fish fever for Lydia and Marcy agrees though she will talk to the king about this. Ford appears and asks what do they think of the two of them. Luz and Anne tell Ford that Sid pretty much told them about Lydia, Lincolin, him and the others and they had to see it for himself and Luz is more open to getting to know them better while Anne is a bit more reclutant for the most part, but she still wants to get to know at least Lydia, Lincolin and Ford better. Ford explains he has put the pieces together and knows what Bill Cipher and Toffee are truly after which gets their interest. Ford states that Toffee is after Disney Supremacy or something like that and believes that Toffee is using his non- disney allies as pawns and is plotting against and murdering his own henchman as they're not "Disney". Luz wonders why he would do something like that and Ford points that someone like Luz can't comprehend evil like he, Lydia, Lincolin or Anne does and explains that Toffee only got of them when they outlived their usefullness or set them to lower their guard.

Chapter 6

Lydia, Lincolin, Ford, Cleo, Amanda, Rick, Cas, Crowley, Luz, Anne, Cricket Green, Blissina, Dawn, Ronnie Anne, Sid Chang, King, Eda, Sprig all wake up after their night. Lydia and Lincoln are both quite sleepy still which Ford notes and asks what where they doing, Lincoln tells Ford he was talking with Lydia and snacking on pizza and soft drinks. Cleo mothers Lydia about ignoring the order to get some sleep, Lydia states she got 4 more hours of sleep and Lincoln got up first.

Marcy tells her friends that she needs to go on her own mission for Andrias, so someone els e will have to take the wheel. Rick calls the wheel and runs to the top of the ship and Eda and Ford follow him. Marcy then goes off with the Calamity Box

Rick, Eda and Ford get the ship ready and they set sail to Austrailla as everyone sits in their seats. Ford explains to Lydia and Lincoln the riff he has that is keeping Bill Cipher at bay and that he told everyone else yesterday.

Lydia vents on the peer frustrated with being insulted like that. Ford, Anne and Luz show up and ask Lydia what's up. Lydia points out that she tried to see the optimistic side of it like Luz said and she got insulted. Luz just wanted to help Lydia with her problem which Lydia does appreciate, Anne weights in her own theory to them.Ford tells Lydia that he understands Cleo's complicated relationship with her sister as he himself has a brother and despite their differences they were best friends, their only friend. He knows the two truly care about each other and can show it on a good day.Amanda comments on Lincoln's super senses asking if that's part of the "curse" Lincoln said he had a gut feeling which turned out true. Ronnie Anne and Ford both feel NOS-4A2 may be here since Toffee wouldn't do this alone if he was taking a direct action.

Ford decides that the best way to work on the fish fever cure is to split up and get the job done. Ford and Lincoln agree to take most of the crew out while Lydia, Cricket and Cleo decide to stay put at the house. Lincoln, Ford, Amanda, Castiel, Blissina, Ronnie Anne, Luz, Eda, Sprig and Anne all go around the town to acquire what would be needed to fully cure the other 2.  Sprig and Anne partially are fasicated with the island and Sprig wants to take a vacation here now that he knows of the multiverse. Ford tells them to focus they're not here to relax, although the nights may beg to differ. Eda hands everyone some lists of provisions for their work

Eda and Ford are both acquiring their own supplies and getting something in particular to hold  the cure like a spray bottle. Ford and Eda seem to bond over the pride they take in their own pupils Lydia and Luz with Eda asking what Ford sees in Lydia. Ford explains he sees someone who is a dork but ultimately benevolent and wanting the best for the world like himself, except she isn't embittered by the hardships of the world and has a lot of friends, Lydia brings Ford hope as well. Eda understands this and relates it to why Luz warmed her up and it might make some sense why Lydia and Luz make be great friends

Ford spots Bill's hat and goes after it with Eda following him wandering where's he going. Ford calls out Bill and Bill just laughs making Ford angry asking Bill what is he doing here. Bill states he's here to for relaxing nights as the days feel too busy, Eda comments how that sounds like Ford's statement about the island. Ford knows Bill is up to something and wants to know what he is planning this time.

Bill tells Ford as he refers to as sixer that he was revisiting a locale he was earlier and that Ford should stopping thinking so much. Ford warns Bill that if he wasn't worried about hurting other people he could crush Bill 's eye in his hand after what he did to Lydia and that his levergae on him won't work on him. Eda seems aware that Ford has a more personal history than the others against Bill and is ready to use magic on Bill. Bill decides to just leave if Ford and Eda can't be polite and just tells Ford that he'll be dealing with a harsh reality soon and that he will keep on his toes, snapping his fingers in doing so.

Eda and Ford try to figure out what Bill meant, Ford is annoyed that Bill always seem to annoy him. Eda points out that Ford seems to hate Bill more than even Lydia and Lincoln or any of the others do. Ford states he has a history pre-meeting Lydia and Team Free Will with Bill.

Ford and Eda meanwhle are suspcious about Bill's actual plans and what he may have done, Ford begins to think of something he hasn't done. Cleo mentions did Ford ask Lincolin about his visions, Ford realizes that he hasn't done so and Eda asks the meaning of that. Ford figures that Bill Cipher has taken away Lincoln's seer seening and has an attack planned on Lincoln and that Bill was just waiting for a chance to do this. Cleo agrees with this state as does Eda and they decide to go after Lincoln. Ford asks what about Lydia, Cleo states that Lydia is fishing with Sid and Ronnie and she has her own date with Lewis so it's up to him and Eda.

Lincoln is defending Kim from N0S-4A2 intending to make sure she isn't killed by NOS-4A2, N0S-4A2 decides to pick up Lincoln and is ready to slash Lincolin once more to finish what Morag started. Eda, Ford and Lydia all show up in time to stop this, Eda uses her magic to keep NOS-4A2 from this and Lydia goes to save Lincoln from this with Lincoln falling onto Lydia. Ford tells Lincoln to leave as he and Eda will defeat N0S-4A2.

Lincolin states this is something he has to do for himself and  tells Eda and Ford to get Kim out of here.

Ford is doing a body scan on Lincoln with Lydia, Amanda,Ronnie Anne, Anne, Castiel and Luz are watching as Ford is detecting  that it seems Lincoln's attributes seem superhuman in ability and this latest attack proved it. Anne comments that Lincoln seems pretty strong for someone  who is pretty geeky, Lydia states that these abilities seem to come in an instinct an she asks Ford did Bill have an effect on this, and Ford confirms Bill did not as Ford did experimenting on Lincoln and he reacted quick andwhen he hurt Lincoln slighty he healed quickly

Ford, Eda, Castiel and Amanda debate how  to procceed with going to Mako Island with the cult going around when Cleo and Lewis come back and Ford tells them that they are setting sail to Mako Island.

King asks Sid about the moon she found, Sid said she didn't  find a moon she found a crescent, as she wanted to play with animals before going to bed and she found that unsual rock. Eda chides Sid for endangering herself over animals she knows that Sid loves them but the others could have lost her again and this time they won't be there for her. Ford takes the crescent rock and tells Eda that it's another zodiac symbol and that they should be easy on Sid for actually finding it.

Cleo, Lewis, Eda and Ford all mix the chemicals and use all the ingredients to make some quality fish fever cure.

Chapter 7

Ford, Louise, Cricket and Ronnie Anne work to try to get the mermaids to safety as Ford is aware that Toffee is after them considering the location. Ronnie Anne asks about the othes and Ford states that they need to get the girls back to the boat before doing so and then go from there. Cleo takes a little offense belveing that she and the girls can deal wth Toffee, Emma and Rikki agree and the 3 girls leave to find Toffee as they are tired of runnning. Louise admires their bravery and voices her confidence they can do so, as does Cricket who feels Toffee can't take on all three of them. Ford however feels that they underestimate Toffee's intellgence and he needs to go after them. Ronnie Anne, Cricket and Louise decide to basicall pick up the rest of the team on the boat as they find the others.  

Ford with Cricket and Louise stop Ushari from delivering the bite with a few whacks by a golf club. Toffee notices Ford who stopped this and He tells Cricket and Louise to check on the other 3 bodies. Ford is prepared to save Cleo who is too shocked at what Toffee did to do something against Toffee Ford tells Cleo she needs to leave as Toffee has more than proved himself capable of doing her in. Cleo wants to attack Toffee and uses her powers for it. Ushari attempts another bite but Marcy Wu pins him with her crossbow and Lincoln and Lydia arrive too which Toffee finds out is because of Lincoln's sense tingling

Toffee seems suprised that Lincoln could do just that. Ford, Lydia, Lincoln, Cricket, Louise and Marcy Wu are ambushed by the Geki Clan who Toffee sent to keep them distracted from the real plan.

Toffee then impales Cleo with his tail to the shock of Lydia, Lincoln and Ford

Toffee then throws Cleo in the ocean as a way for her to go out. Lydia jumps into the ocean wanting to save Cleo which has Marcy, Ford and Lincoln try to stop her. Lincoln though decides to save her too. Ford calls Lincoln on making this dumb decision, but Lincoln tells ord he is not leaving Lydia like this, Ford states while noble this is a perfect opporunity for Toffee to kill them too.

Ford, Marcy Wu, Louise and Cricket notice as the two are getting close to Cleo's limp body. Lincoln and Lydia manage to get to the body but despite this they almost are out of air and both of them loose hold over Cleo's body when Ford saves both of them with Marcy Wu, Louise and Cricket basically pull up Ford who has pulled up the duo who nearly ended up unconsicous. Where Ronnie Anne finds them and asks what happened and Ford tells her what had recently happened.

Lydia, Lincoln, Ford, Marcy Wu, Ronnie Anne, Cricket and Louise arrive back to the rest of the group and Amanda asks where is Cleo. Ford states that Toffee has his way with her, and Lydia adds that he murdered Cleo in cold blood and tossed her body into the ocean as well as murdering the other mermaids.

Lydia, Lincoln, Ford, Amanda, Anne, Luz, Cricket, Marcy,  Ronnie Anne, Sid, Sprig, Castiel, Rick, Crowley, Blissina, Eda, King, Louise, Dawn are on the boat and everyone looks forlorn and sad even Rick and Crowley have nothing to say as Toffee's actions has them even shocked.

Ford tries to figure out how to bury Cleo's scales and how to tell the families about the tragic event. Ford feels that he will have to inform the families and Crowley offers to do, Castiel rightfully questions why Crowley would do so, and Crowley confesses that the brutal action Toffee took was too much for even him. Ford hands him the phone and Crowley starts calling

Ford is the one holding his due respects for everyone and reads the eurology and Amanda has her own hand in this as well as Lydia, Ronnie Anne and Lincoln aren't there. Sid and King talk about how are they going to go foward about this and Sid believes Toffee has made this personal, Castiel points out that Toffee did't stating that none of Toffee's actions were directly personal which makes this unlike the vast majority of forces they have faced, King points out killing Cleo was personal for Lydia, Lincoln, Amanda and to an extent Ford. Ford in his own awkward way offers condelences with Eda about the situation and that they will do what they must to bring down Toffee

Anne asks Ford how could he say that, when Ford stopped Lydia and Lincoln from saving Cleo which Cricket agrees with in that he let her die. Ford says he didn't let her die, he couldn' let them die of drowning. Ford also didn't want Lydia to die by drowing or Toffee he admits that he didn't want to do what he did regarding Cleo, but had to make a option. Luz doesn't give Ford crap and sympathizes with Ford's desire and asks how Lydia is taking this. Ford explains to Luz that Lydia has been mostly quiet and has been distancing herself from neary everyone except Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.

Lydia and Lincoln both see Ford and Lydia calls out Ford for not helping save Cleo as she wanted to save her dear friend. Ford states that had no intent to have Lydia die on his watch and Cleo proably would have been dead either way due to the wounds. Lydia states that there could have been a way to save Cleo even without that, Lincoln calms Lydia about her anger about Ford's words. Lincoln tells Ford that Lydia is right about her being angered that Ford stopped her and him from saving Cleo, but Ford has his own point as well. Ford tells Lydia that she woud have suffocated and he's not intent to let his kid die over something like that or have Toffee have his way with Lydia. Ford also childes Lincoln for stupidly jumping in the water to get Lydia.

Bill Cipher shows up and find the trio and greets them as Red brace face, turkey tom and Ford. Ford asks Bill now what is he here for none of them are asleep. Bill states one of them is sleep deprived and Lincoln aas well as Ford look at Lydia. Lydia states she's awake and it turns out Lincoln is the one sleep deprived. Bill taunts Lincoln for not being see that attack coming at Toffee's hand or N0S-4a2's intruding on him earlier, and that Lincoln only foresaw what CIpher wanted him to see. Lincoln is mad about being messed with and tells Bill to get lost. Bill Cipher baits Lincoln to fisticuff him, when Lydia calms Lincoln off and tells Bill that whatever Bill wants to do with Lincoln, Bill will have to deal with her 1st. Bill moves on to Lydia and taunts her about her inability to save Cleo and that she calls herself some heroine if she can't save her friend, Lydia doesn't listen to Bill and points he orchrasted Cleo's death indirectly as Toffee actively did it.

Ford states that Toffee and Bill won't get away with this and Bill states that he already has gotten away with killng Cleo and others. Bill states that in this game of chess between him and Ford he has the upper hand and that check mate will be soon for Ford and he may have to be make a safrice in order to beat him.

Eda and Marcy break in ready and armed asking Ford where is the dorito. Ford states Bill escaped and that he's was playing games with the three of them. Eda believes Ford due to her seeing Bill with Ford and Marcy isn't skeptical either as she believes anything Ford tells her about Bill and that she may have to get more info from Andrias. Eda and Ford ask if Marcy is clear on the King knowing anything. Marcy states that he has gotten away from his duel with Toffee though it was a draw despite Toffee walking away with some of his parts needing to regenerate.

Ford, Eda, Rick, Louise, Castiel and Crowley begin to set up the co-ordinates for their ravel. Rick is grateful that Marcy's connections to Andrias have allowed them to use a spot of the line vechil. Eda asks Ford what's his knowledge on Gravity Falls and Ford says he pretty much knows everything about Gravity Falls and all it's weirdness. Louise is fasciated with this and wants to get going now. Eda calms her down and Ford states that she will regret what she said, and to trust him. Crowley and Castiel also agree with Ford as well and Castiel asks Ford about Bill's orgins as he comes from Gravity Falls too. Ford tells Cas that Bill is active in Gravity Falls, but is actually from another universe it's just he was summoned by someone who knew the spell. Eda asks did Ford do so, Ford states to Eda that he didnt do so at least currently, he did years ago.

Ford and the crew arrive at Ford's place and it's in shambles to his shock relaizing that Bill Cipher already tailed him doing so. Lydia asks what now, Ford states that he has a new idea, they must go to the mystery shack.

Ford assigns Castiel, Crowley, Ronnie Anne, Sprig, Louise and Blissina to go find the zoidac with the 6 fingers, which may be on a hidden jounral due to him being the one who wrote the jounrals. Once the portal is up and ready, Ford and Rick will send Marcy, Sid, Dawn and King to Newtopia per to Andrias's request. Eda assigns Luz to help Luz, Anne and Cricket to go looking for the pine tree that's part of the zodiac and they'll know it when they see it. Finally Ford decides that he must see his former assistant Fiddleford and puts Lincoln and Lydia in charge of it and it's the most crucial of all their directives.

Ford and Lydia both have managed ot get a location to Fiddleford, Ford's former assistant and Ford tells Lydia to tell Fiddleford that he sent her and Lincoln to see him. Lincoln, Amanda, Ronnie Anne and Anne show up and Ford comments on why Lincoln is dressed like he's going trick or treating. Lincoln states it's for stealth and that it's a mission, which Anne calls endearing and dorky perfect for Lincoln. Amanda asks Ford if he found the location of his assistant, Ford tells Amanda that the former Northwest mansion is where they must go and to take Lincoln and Lydia to the mansion.

Ford asks if Sid and Marcy got their stuff. Marcy states Toffee is blocking off Disney Universes and attempting to seize control of over ones and that Her Private eye is chasing after a letter from an unknown source. King just comments that The Newtopia  Castle is full of delicous food he just dug into while Sid and Marcy did more research on The Disney Universes as Marcy told Sid about the casualities at Toffee's Hand. Eda states as much as Toffee cares about his forces conquering the multiverse, he is so willing to toss anyone who is unwilling to go along with him even if they are villains which Ford calls him being a hypocrite. Rick switches something by accident and Ford, Eda, Marcy, Sid and King all notice the stair case and they go all down to the basement seeing the Interdemensional Portal and that decide to use it to find which Disney universes are still free.

Sid and King run to get Ford, who is down at the lab, hard at work and is trying to restart the protal.. Sid and King are finally caught by one and almost gets earen but Ford crushes it who caught wind of the situtation. Ford sends Sid and King to the attic and joins Marcy, Rick and Eda and then he bars the door

Ford, Rick and Eda go into another room where wax figures are present and they come to alive on Toffee's request and try to kill the three of them. Rick asks if they're magic in a mocking tone and he learns from Ford that they were cursed and then locked away. Eda states that sounds like his brother, the wax figures start attacking the trio.

As the trio fights the wax figures they discover they can melt the wax figures and Ford decides to lure out the wax figures outside and asks Eda to bring the strongest light she can. Rick gets Sid, Marcy and King out of the attic as Ford and Eda work on destroying the wax figures.

Ford eventually gets all of the wax figures out and Eda summons her fire spell to melt the wax figures in no time. Lydia, Lincoln, Amanda, Luz, Anne and Cricket all return with Lydia getting the memory gun and Cricket having the pine tree.  Ford asks what happened with Fiddleford, Amanda states the ninja attacked and burned down the manor. Ford is aplogetic of his former assistant and Lincoln states it is possible his glasses are a zodaic symbol

Ford and Anne agree that can work and Rick decides to copy the glasses and puts it with the special pine tree. Sid asks about Ronnie Anne, Castiel, Crowley, Louise, Sprig and Blissina and Marcy questions this too.

Ronnie Anne, Sprig, Castiel, Crowley, Louise and Blissina return with the journal which Rick and Ford manage to copy the 6 fingered hand off it and Ford states they just have one zodiac to go, The heart.

Ford said that he let Lydia reward herself for a job well done and she took Lincoln with her.

Ronnie Anne and Luz both think Lydia is doing that for some alone time with him, Blissina and Ford are both confused what they really mean. Anne calls Ford dense and he can't see what's happening between them.

Chapter 8

Ford was been doing his own research on the heart, the final zodiac, and ask a realization that they go to to Mewni. Lydia, Lincoln, Eda and Amanda wonder why Mewni, Ford states that the heart has to been from someplace with magic and that Mewni is the best place. Lydia, Lincoln, Amanda and Rick think that maybe he wants a Butterfly Heart due to Toffee's history with the Butterfly Family. Ford states that Toffee killed all of them, which is why Toffee hasn't been after magic destruction

Eda asks Ford why Toffee hates magic, Ford states it's a matter of the pride due to his finger being blasted off and Eda agrees that it's prideful indeed. Ford isn't exactly sure on which heart to go for and Rick asks why it matters and Ford states that it needs to be the family of the wand.

Ford and Rick just about finish getting the portal ready to go to Mewni and Ford tells the team to brace themselves before they take their leave.

Ford has Luz, Anne, Amanda, Cricket Green, Sprig, Ronnie Anne, Sid Chang, Louise, Blissina, Rick, Eda, King ready and asks if Lydia, Lincoln, Marcy, Crowley and Castiel are ready. Lincoln tells Ford that they're not going with him to Mewni as Lincoln has agreed to have Castiel and Crowley both go through his subconciousness to find the source of his powers.  Lydia tells Ford she's coming along too to help the three. Ford asks why both Lydia and Lincoln are investigating this and Lydia states she wants to know the truth herself for both of their sake

Ford concedes to this and asks Castiel and Crowley to keep an vilgant eye on Lydia, Lydia states she can take of herself and doesn't need their eyes. Ford tells Lydia, he cares about her and doesn't want to see her hurt because of negliegence angels and demons. Crowley and Castiel both don't look amused by Ford and say they'll do better than him being in agreement for once.

Ford says at least he can trust Lincoln to keep his eye on her, Lydia nods in agreement.

Marcy Also says that she is also separating off from Ford as well with Anne and Sprig questioning Marcy on why she doing so. Marcy states she is working on something special, under the advisory of Her Private Detective to help out. Luz asks Marcy about what is this special thing and Marcy states she's plotting to go to work on gathering stuff to create a vaccine that will assist them in the event of Weirdmagedon

Ford asks Marcy why does she assume it will happen regardless, Marcy states a contact of the detective belives this will happen and wants to be prepared. Ford states who is this detective and Marcy states she can't tell him.

Ford takes everyone other than Lydia, Lincoln, Castiel and Crowley with him as they travel through the interdeminsonal portal and wishes the 4 good luck with their journey to the center of the mind.

Ford and the rest of the team arrive and found that Mewni is nothing how Ford, Amanda and Rick remember as they recall their previous time here. When questioned by the others, Ford mentions they as well as Lydia, Lincoln and Cleo all traveled to Mewni when stopping Toffee the first time. Ford and Rick both look into what happened and they explain that Earth and Mewni have techinally been merged as a result of what Star Butterfly did, Rick compares her to Thanos as a result

Ford, Eda, Anne, Luz, Sprig and Cricket all realize that a good source to head to is the Castle itself. Amanda having a map in her hand gives to Ford and Ford takes the team with him to Butterfly Castle.

The group reaches Butterfly Castle and Rick takes out his shovel intend to go grave digging. Ronnie Anne comments it's fortuante that Crowley didn't come after all. Ford begins to investigate the Castle with the rest of the team as they try to find any potential clues on where to head to or any clues.

Ford is with Eda and Amanda as they look around trying to read through the books they found to get any hints as a result. Louise, Blissina and Dawn end finding them and tell them that they found where they need to go. Ford asks where and Louise states they must go to the Underworld

Blissina tells Ford, Eda and Amanda that it's obivously hell but they did learn from the taperstry that this is where the queens of Mewni's hearts reside as that's the tapestry room. Ford pleased with this, decides to make his own way through to the Underworld and prepares a big mode of transport.

Ford takes control of the wheel as he talks about the finger of Toffee that Anne and Luz found. Ford knows on look that it's the orginial finger of Toffee and that he can cannot regenerate the finger due to a dark spell by Star's mom. Ford declares they must destory the finger to make sure Toffee stays dead. Ford and the others run into Cleoparta and Ford asks his friends to take her as he tries to cotempleate what they did to her.

With help from Rick, Ford manages to evade her and her attacks. Ford ponders if it's likely that this is Cleo back from the dead and wonders why she would turn against them, he decides to share this opinon later. Ford, Amanda, Rick, Luz, Eda, Anne, Cricket go to the Underworld and try to acquire the Butterfly heart and Ford is told that he must do something to get it from the Underworld rulers and this is proven when Toffee's forces arrive

Through Ford's leadership, He and his crew gets the heart and repel Toffee's invasion. Ford and Rick both realize at that point that the interdimensional rift isn't in Ford's possession and that Cipher might have it. Ford knows he put a fail safe on it to prevent Bill from breaking it

However Ford's fail safe proved to be anything but when they return to the underworld and sees Weirdmagedon agoing. Ford ponders that Bill found some way around it and that he puts a call to Lydia, Lincoln, Castiel and Crowley to get back to him and the crew as Bill Cipher and Toffee have managed to acquire the rift and destoryed it so now Bill is physical.

Ford and the others find Sid, Lalo Salmanca and The Gang Green gang and the latter two tell Ford of Bill's plans knowing that Ford is Bill Cipher's archenemy among the heroes and would rather side with Ford Pines over Bill. Ford also learns that his suspcion was correct when Sid confirms Cleo is Cleopatra. Lydia, Lincoln, Crowley and Castiel return to the others  and Ford takes Lydia and Lincoln and tells them Weirdmagedon has begun and now they're too late but they can still stop them it just got a whole lot harder.

Chapter 9

Ford and Rick after protecting the shack to some investigations on how many causualites were harmed by Bill Cipher and Toffee bringing Weirdmaggedon out. Ford comments how this is how the world ends  with weirdness as opposed to a wimper or a bang. Ford briefs Eda on the situation when she shows up to see the two.

Ford, Lydia and the others recieve vaccines dropped off from Marcy Wu to use to protect themselves from the Weirdmagedon effects that could plague them at a later point. Ford briefs off with Amanda and Eda where he warns the former not to go after Cleopatra lightly. He allows Lydia and Lincoln to go to Royal Woods to stop Morag with Lalo and The Gangreen gang as he wants to make sure Lincoln still has a home after all, unlike him who has his destoryed by Bill

Lydia asks if Ford will be okay dealing with the situation while she's out and Ford tells Lydia he will be fine, he has the others by his side and that what the two are doing is more important. For after that, Ford briefs the crew about the zodiacs and explains that they have been gathered to weaken Bill and that if they can use it at the right time with the right amount of power They can defeat Bill and Toffee can weakened as a result.

Ford states that's the backup plan as he leaves to try to kill Bill himself which has Eda concerned that he's doing so though Rick and Crowley are fine with this. Little to his knowledge, Eda send Anne to follow Ford in the event he makes a mistake

Ford makes his way to where the interdemisonal gang of Bill Cipher is coming from and Ford prepares his attempt to assassinate Bill. Ford equps his Quantum Destablizer and prepares to fire his shot at Bill Cipher as he sees him. This attempt just hits Bill Cipher's hat and he turns around and Ford finds out that it's not Bill Cipher, but Toffee Cipher the fusion of Toffee and Bill Cipher.

Ford quesitons how could this have happened, Bill's side takes over and tells his henchmaniacs that this is the man that made this all possible with the result of his rift falling out and to give him a six fingered hand. Ford calls Toffee Cipher a insane 3 sided lizard lawyer with a Disney complex if he really this is how to acquire what he wants with all the people he killed, petrified or drove crazy.

Toffee Cipher sighs how he failed to get those kids of Ford's but knows that they will come back and then they'll get the kids. Ford states that Toffee Cipher can't get them due to the vaccines made by Marcy. Toffee Cipher concedes that is true but this is workable, Bill's side tries to offer Ford as he calls him good six fingers and he'll fit right in with his freaks.

Ford states he'll die before he trusts Bill Cipher, Toffee Cipher calls Ford predictable for his heroic actions and Ford spits in Toffee Cipher's eye which Toffee Cipher cleans off with his toungue which Ford tries another shot with Destablizer and this is whan Zhan Tiri stops Ford on spot

Toffee Cipher orders Ford's Capture to Zhan Tiri, where Anne does save him and then they themselves are saved by Castiel and Crowley.

As soon as Lydia and Lincoln return back to Ford and tell him that they managed to succeed in driving off Morag and they had her arrested but not killed. Lydia explains also that Lalo told them that they have to kill them and that sparing them might be the moral move but not the pragmatic move. Ford states Lydia is correct that murder isn't the way but Lalo isn't wrong and with Toffee and Bill it is the only way as well as others, and he mentions NOS-4A2 is among them and takes the two to go after Toffee's right hand man.

Ford, Lydia and Lincoln corner NOS-4A2 all out to take him down after the energy vampire nearly killed all 3 of them at certain points. N0S-4A2 decides to try and kill them immediately and summons Wire Wolves to hunt and kill them while trapping them. Ford, Lydia and Lincoln try to figure out the weakness of the Wire Wolves and notes their agility,

NOS-4A2 orders them to use the wires to catch them which they do and ensare the three with NOS-4A2 preparing to dust them. Lydia uses the Gauntlet to summon telekinesis to get them off them and toss them to the ground. Lincoln then rams them with a shoulder tackle sending them to the ground.

Ford then uses his destablizer and does succeed this time in getting the wirewolves. NOS-4A2 not dettered grabs both Ford and Lincoln and forces Lydia to make a choice on who to safe as he slams both of them to the ground, like what he did to Ford. Lydia remembering NOS-4A2's torment of herself decides to summon the time stone to slow down the vampire and grabs Lincoln and Ford and puts them to the ground, hands Ford a steak and then punches him in the back with the power stone. Time gets reset and NOS-4A2 is devestigated by the hit and Lydia uses her mind stone to hold the vampire in place as Ford and Lincoln stake the robot vampire

Ford, Lydia and Lincoln bring Anne, Luz and Cricket in to going after the duo and he also explains that they need a way to separate Bill and Toffee as the zodiacs can't work as long as they are merged and Ford tells Rick to wait for the signal as they head up.

Chapter 10 (Final Chapter)

Ford leads Lydia, Lincoln, Luz, Anne and Cricket thorugh the pyramid and tells everyone they must be ready to deal with Bill Cipher and Toffee as this will not be an easy fight and proably the most diffcult thing they have done considering he has seen the merge of the two.

Holding the quantum destablizer in his hand, he intends to use it to kill Bill once he is weakened as Ford is aware of what he must do. Ford tells Lydia and Lincoln that they will have to kill Bill and Toffee so they need to take what Lalo told them to heart.

Ford confronts Toffee Cipher with the others and realizes Toffee Cipher is telling the truth as he found a scapegoat for his plan and that Ford stays quiet realizing that he may have to get the truth out there to stop Bill fully. When Anne starts the fight with Toffee Cipher, Ford jumps in as well

Ford's fight with Toffee Cipher is unlike his other fights where Toffee Cipher fights Ford more seriously than the others in part to Bill's influence. Toffee Cipher uses the full extent of their powers on Ford torturing Ford and Toffee Cipher rants to Ford on Bill's influence that Bill tried to play nice with Ford, he tried to offer Ford a place among his freaks,offered his knowledge and power and tried to be his friend all for Ford

But the only thing Ford cares accoridng to Bill is his worthless children and that if they are so distracting maybe Toffee Cipher should just kill them, Ford fights back furiously in an attempt without  using his destablizer angry that Toffee Cipher is threatening  his friends and that he tells Bill that why would he help Bill again, in that Bill lied to him, tricked him and that he has threatened  his loved ones.

Toffee Cipher goes full power on Ford and the others and shakes them and imprisons them in triangular prisons and Ford is locked in with Anne. Ford and Anne try to figure a way to really stop Bill Cipher and Toffee

Ford and Anne attempt to figure a way to get Ford close enough to kill Bill as Ford  does know how to get rid of them. Anne asks Ford about Bill regarding that Cipher has some obession with Ford and the way he sounded attacking Ford sounded like he was an ex lover to Ford  and is angry that Ford replaced him and may try to kill Lydia and the others as a way to keep him for Bill himself. Ford tells Anne that he did explain before his history with Bill before and that with him distracted they can come up with a plan,

Anne asks Ford what is his plan, and Ford aware of Bill's obession with him decides that a good way to stop him is to use this  to distract him in the event they can or can't separate the two. Ford also states that Lydia's Infinity Gauntlets are the only real power that can match Toffee Cipher's actual power and that they should find someway to separate the two to stand a chance.

Unknown to Ford, Lydia and Lincoln formed their own plan and to attack Bill and Toffee. When Team Free Will is visited by Toffee Cipher again with the intent to kill the six. Ford is told who does he wanted killed by Toffee Cipher, and Ford refuses to comply and finds out Lydia surpised Toffee Cipher with a spray to the eyes and frees her and Lincoln who decide to fight Toffee Cipher

Ford states it's too dangerous for them to fight Toffee Cipher alone when they couldn't, After Lincoln mocks Toffee Cipher, Toffee Cipher decides to go one winged angel with intend to turn Ford's kids into corpses telling Ford this is why Ford shouldn't have had kids.

Ford tries to break out of his ceil to save Lydia and Lincoln from Toffee Cipher with Luz, Anne and Cricket. Feeling he may have to bargain with Toffee Cipher is possible is the only way to save the two so he can get their guard down. When Lydia and Lincoln cause a massive expolison this allows Ford, Luz, Anne and Cricket to escape and they find Toffee and Bill Cipher separated and near a very overwhelmed Lydia and Lincoln. Ford has Luz, Anne and Cricket save the two and calls up Rick to use the zodiacs which ends up weakening Bill as Rick turns on the machine with Castiel.

With Bill fleeing in repsone, Ford takes some of Lincoln's blood and uses some of Luz's magic to make a serum to heal both of the kids as the three go after Bill and he tells the other 3 to go after Toffee.

Lydia, Lincoln and Ford track down Bill Cipher and Bill makes his final stand against the trio and that Bill admits he understimated the two and Ford shows up  as well ready to finish Bill once and for all equpiing the quantum destablizer

Bill Cipher frustrated with Ford's constant favorism with Lydia reachs a point where he tells Ford, that Ford will pay for constant rejecting and defying him by killing Lydia although he also admits spraying his eye is another reason. When Bill gets Lincoln as well in his hands, he tells Ford time is up and to choose between him or the kids and decides to just kill one of them out of sadism. Before Bill decides on Lydia to rob Ford of his apprentice, Ford takes his shot and destablizes Bill Cipher and this allows the other two to shred Bill out of exixtence and Bill not one to take lost, decides if he can't kill Lydia, he'lll take Lincoln with him to spite Ford and Lydia.

Lydia goes off to save Lincoln without hesisation and Ford unlike last time decides to help Lydia look for Lincoln, he and Lydia are joined by Sid as they go looking for Lincoln and eventually find him alive but uncosicousness.

Ford waits for Linc to wake up and he is informed of Rick and Castiel's deaths which sadden him and the others as two more casualites and what to do with now with the leader basically dead of the team. Afterwards, Ford drops off Lincoln and Lydia at Lincoln's house as he leaves He wonders what will he do now as his research is gone and his home is destroyed in part to Toffee and Bill Cipher

Eda offers to help Ford pick up the pieces and to help him get back on his feet and Ford smilies realzing he did make another close friend apart from Lydia and Lincoln accepts her deal.

Prologue

Ford took to living with Eda and assisting her with her busineess. To help her provide for Luz, King and Sid. Ford is against Lydia's wishes to be a superheroine.

Ford's reasons come down to Lydia not knowing superheroics in real life and that criminals will kill her even if she is a kid. He does try to tell to do altrustic things like you say, then start from scratch from the small things up to the more major ways of helping your common man.

Sid, Luz, Eda and King all look suprised Marcy is here and Eda asks about the girl and the ghost who Marcy introduce as Molly Mcgee and Scratch who she befriended a bit after saving Brighton.

Luz and Molly hit it off immediatly as Marcy talks to Ford, Eda, Sid Chang and King about The Escape of Morag and that she had help from a a Separtian known as Ratiscore. Sid and King show concern as they thought Morag was imprisoned and Marcy explains that she and them investigated the cell and Scratch discovered that they killed some inmates. Eda knows Lincoln will be targeted by Morag after this as Sid who also knows this. Ford spectulates Lydia will be targeted as well due to her role in Morag's defeat.Marcy concurs with this and according to her research Morag will be at Loch Loud

Ford, Marcy, Eda, Scratch, Sid and King all enter the room to find Anne, Cricket and Crowley and Marcy explains that they found Morag escaped prison with the help of a Separtian who leads the army of Separtians with some kind of plan.

Anne asks Marcy has she gotten into contact with Lincoln and Lydia and Marcy states they havn't answered and Marcy states that they're not even on the UPS. Ford decides to go to Royal Woods to pick up Lincoln and Lydia for the mission once again and the others decide to join him.

Ford, Marcy, Sid, Luz, Anne, Cricket, Crowley, Molly and Scratch arrive in Royal Woods thanks to Ford managing to remember the route and they show up at Lincoln's house and decide to get the two.

Ford, Marcy, Molly and Scratch go to Lydia's House and Ford is welcomed by the Lopezs asking how he's been and Ford states he's fine and they give him coffee to drink as Ford catches up with the Lopezs. Ford arrives as well and asks the rat something ,Marcy comments how fast Ford got here and Ford stated he went up to the room after catching up with the Lopezs

Raticus just flat out says that Lincoln headed to Loch Loud with Lydia to find something and Ford asks about what and Raticus just says sight seeing is what Linc had in mind. Scratch and Ford both share a look to this.

Sid, Crowley, Anne, Luz, Cricket, Ford, Marcy, Molly, Scratch and Raticus all meet out backside and Ford tells the others that the two are in Loch Loud or on the way to it.

Ford arrives in Loch Loud and finds a scottish man as per Anne and Luz and he asks if he is the groundskeeper and this is confirmed and he introduces himself as Angus  Ford introduces himself and asks where has Lydia and Lincoln been keep and Angus puts it together that Ford is Lydia's father. Ford states he'd like to be but that's besides the point.

Ford asks Lydia what is she even doing here before stopping himself to realize Lydia wasn't aware of Morag or Ratiscore so he can't continue scolding her for making him worry.Ford is quick to notice Lydia doesn't have the stones and realizes that Morag targeted her for that reason with the Septarisis.

Lincoln and Angus both try to think about how to stop Morag with the Sorcerer's Stone in her posession and Crowley asks are they going for Harry Potter, or CWB's Flash in regards to the stone and decides that the demon must personally find out about the stone. Angus and Ford agree with this, though again they must find out where the stones are to begin.

Ford and Angus are meanwhile looking at a map of Loch Loud and Angus directs Ford that there are Apparently six temples were created for the stones and that is what the team needs to find as Morag with the Sorcerer Stone is nearly unbeatable and they must find a way to defeat her. Ford asks Angus about his connection to the Louds as he suspects Lincoln is here for not just sight seeing reasons with Lydia. Angus tells Ford that he swore secretcy to Lincoln but does tell Ford, Lincoln did have an another reason and he's trying to help Lincoln with this. Angus tells Ford that he has known the Loud Family for a while but only met the ones he knows a bit ago and he was merely the groundskeeper and it was Lincoln that crowned him the duke. Ford then figures Morag is after this position which explains her amonisty to Angus and The Louds.

Ford realizes Lydia may also know Lincoln's real reasons too and Angus asks Ford about his fatherly relationship with Lydia. Ford states that he worries for her, she wanted to be a super heroine and still went thorugh with it after Ford tried to tell her she shouldn't be and that he gave her some leeveway when He saw how happy it made her. Angus tells Ford that Lydia is just trying to find herself and her role in the universe the way he sees it and Lincoln is helping her and being her advisor in the way he was to Lincoln.

Ford admits he feels struggles with feeling like a father to Lydia, and that he doesn't how to be a parent but really wants to be a father to her like Lydia's dad. Angus asks if Ford is trying to be her friend or her father and Ford stating he's trying to be both as he doesn't want Mr.Lopez to think he's taking his only daughter away but wants to be there for her and is the most important person in her life other than Lincoln. Ford compares this to Eda who is this way to Luz as well as he puts the locations of the temples to Angus.

Ford and Angus return with the location of the temples, the first being the forest temple and explains that they need to go there to get the 1st of the stones. Lydia and Lincoln both catch on that this is like a video game, Marcy also does. Ford and Angus decide to put the Raticus on mission control taking inspiration from Lydia and Linc and Ford instructs him how to keep an eye on things and have Angus go with him

Angus and Raticus agree and go the mission control room as Ford has revealed that he took a trailer and used it for mission control. Cricket gets his slingshot, Anne gets out her stuff and Luz gets her magic ready. Ford takes the wheel and the others get on the trailer

Upon Arriving in the temple, Ford works with Lincoln and Lydia in getting around the Horseman in War and they manage to take it out with Lydia and Lincoln getting what they want.

Lincoln, Lydia, Ford, Anne, Luz, Cricket, Crowley, Marcy Wu, Sid Chang, Molly, Scratch all return back to the trailer and present to Angus and Raticus the Space Stone which Lydia reacquired and that is one stone.

The ground shakes and Morag arrives teleporting it with the Separtians and Morag is aware of what their doing and decides to chase them down. Angus speeds up to get the whole group away from Morag.Marcy is asked by Ford and Angus what was her plan and Marcy confesses that she has contact with a meta human and her genius father who helped her find them. Molly confesses straight out that met him too and Scratch doesn't exactly have a good opinon on him. Marcy tells them in secret that they have to keep his identify secret so Morag won't suspect anything anything.

Angus and Ford watch Lydia with Lincoln and Angus asks Ford if he talked to her face to face about what they talked about. Ford admits he hasn't despite he went with Lincoln and Lydia to get the Space Stone, he did let her try her own hand and she did well to Angus. Angus asks what does Mr.Lopez think of Lydia taking on the super heroine thing and Ford states her birth dad doesn't know she actually dresses up in the role but he does encourage her to write super hero comics on her alias which she did on her own adventures.

Angus finds this funny and Ford concedes it's a bit funny. Ford tells Angus about how he met Lydia, made her his protege and how they became so tight together. Raticus interrupts and asks what stone is next on the question to complete a comic book girl's fantasty except in this reality of having a Gauntlet like Thanos, Ford states the Mind Stone could work next before continuing the story

Chapter 2

Ford and Angus have a created a path to where The Mind Stone with the help of Marcy who had her own help from sources and after discovering  where to go, Ford goes to wake the rest of the team before getting to Lydia and Lincoln which he tells the latter to put on some clothes

Ford continues studying the maps and ponders a plan in case Morag tries something on them but puts this to the side when he sees Lydia shooken up by something as they eat breakfast which Angus nudges Ford to talk to her.

Ford seems to recongize Lydia does have some pain and decides to focus on that asking about her insominia episodes and Lydia tells him she has nightmares of petfricaticon, having her atoms ripped bit by bit and other stuff, Ford is surpsied her vilgantism work isn't the cause of it and tries to move the topic to his worries for Lydia too involved in her work which Lydia states she isn't and that she's just trying to do right by him. Ford wonders what she means by right by Stanford.

As he ponders what Lydia meant by doing right by for Ford, this is when he and the crew encounter the Separtian again after sneaking out from a move and Ratiskor who was the reason they were found by him. Alongside Lincoln, Cricket, Marcy Wu and Anne, Ford engages against many or Ratiskor's separtians and does manage to kill a fair few of them by taking advantage of some of Marcy's magic bags, she got from Amity. As Anne and Marcy Wu both work to defeat Ratiskor

Ford and Angus talk Lydia about the pain and shakes she has and Ford tries to figure out to do better with the talk with Angus. Angus states that Ford needs to show that he can trust her more with her tasks. Ford says he does trust Lydia but Angus points out Ford worries for her a lot and while he may have faith in her, Lydia will feel compressed if Ford doesn't let her try her own way and won't be open to other things. Ford thinks on this and puts his trust in Lincoln to get the Mind Stone and tells Lydia to help Lincoln though she was going to anyway

Crowley reports of a Hydra being released as he finally arrives and the news reports Hydras were relased. Lincoln is puzzles since Scotland doesn't have Hydras which Crowley concurs revealing his Scottish heritage and Angus questions where Nessue is as the Loch Ness Monster is more associated with Scotland. Crowley and Lincoln ponder this and they both come with that Morag must have locked up or did something to it. Ford feels they should go get the Mind Stone as he decides to deal with the Hydra.

As Lydia, Lincoln, Molly, Luz and Anne all leave to the Turtle Rock temple, Ford hears the news and learns of a second Hydra being released and is near the ocean with intent to destory Loch. Ford  deicdes to work with Crowley and Marcy Wu in replling it, Sid also wants in on this and Ford while at first recultant is talked into it by Angus.

Crowley stalls it with quick thinking so Ford can strike at it with his weaponry and Ford is on the defense as as he keeps blocking the strikes the Hydra takes at Ford. As Ford beats it on the head so Crowley can take some shots at it and it strikes again slamming Ford into the wall with Crowley shooting it in the head to keep it from hurting Ford further

Ford recovers and avoid swoops from the Hydra and his attempt to block it fails and so he has to dodge it though he gets biten and then the two counter by Ford shooting it with a ray gun and Crowley using Thermokinesis to send it off.

After defeating the hydra, Sid, Marcy and Ford are given some praise by the town folks which confuses them, though as they find out that They're only after Lincoln and his accomplice and despite being his friends.

Ford sees Lydia, Lincoln, Luz, Anne and Molly back with the mind stones and sees The Loch Ness Monster after they get back to the others, Ford pats it on it's head and thanks it for saving his friends and hands it a snack. Ford is proud that Lincoln and Lydia proved the Loch Ness existed which Anne scowls as they helped too. Ford retreads and gives Anne, Luz and Molly their credit.

Ford, Lincoln, Angus and Lydia talk to Crowley who rebveals that he's been working on a counter plan to defeat Morag and that it's risky and may make them distrust him but he must do what is neccesary.

Ford seems pleased with Lydia and him for showing they can take of themselves, as they starting to show some independce but he does suggest that Lydia keeps a level head about things and tells Lydia that he's aware of something is bothering her and wants to know what it is as did freeze up quite a few times in Turtle Rock as Luz and Anne told Ford. Lydia mentions she did tell him and Ford points out she did but he feels there's more to it than nightmares and that he'll listen.

Lincoln tells Ford she doesn't need to tell him, Lydia interupts Lincoln and points she did mention the nightmares and her attempts to sleep better, though Ford feels something is causing it and Lydia states it's stuff to do with the past. Ford tries to convince Lydia that it's all in the past and that she can't let her past control her, it's the future that really matters and that he doesn't want to see Lydia hurt herself. Lydia asks if it's so simple, how can she convince herself of this and Ford states Time is capable healing of wounds eventually and that she needs to take the necessary steps to do so.

Chapter 3

Ford after agreed to search for time stone next, works with Lincoln and Lydia in trying to find the time stone and what exactly is guarding the way to do it. Ford explains that he really doesn't what guarding it as something feels off about this one in particular and advises them to act carefully.

Lydia wonders how carefully, and Ford states that she must act with cautiousness and not careless actions. Ford explains that time is a theme here and that it is a dangerous power to wield. Lincoln agrees to this and Ford states that he'll get them there and they can do it since they proved the Mind Stone can be obtained by them and wants to see how Lydia and to an extent Lincoln will do.

After Angus talks to Lydia, he tells Ford about what Lydia told Angus in that Morag attempted to gaslight Lydia into thinking she was an unworthy apptentice and Ford points out that was ridclous and that he never thought that of her, and is that why Lydia took the hero duty up to prove herself to him. Angus states that to him is does and asks Ford did he know about this, Ford states he didn't know, though he suspects Lincoln was aware.

Ford ponders does Lydia really feel that about him and that's why she can cofide in Lincoln more than him. He does remember something Amanda told him in that her, Cleo and even Ford himself are 2nd to Linc when it comes to Lydia. Ford realizes how closed off he can be at times and while he is more open with Lydia than most, he still feels he hasn't been completely open with her and resolves to do better.

While everyone is stalled, Ford does some reconigance and this is when he finds out about Morag's plan in regards to RAY-03 a UG Metal Gear RAY built by the Desesperado. He learns about the plan to use it as a frame up plan and decides to leave before Morag spots him. He is nearly spotted by Separtians but he does manage to escape on time.

Chapter 4

Upon his return about the construction of the Ray 03, Ford warns the crew about it and that this could be dire situation when it is used. Ford asks where both Lincoln and Lydia headed to and Angus informs him that they snuck off to the river boat queen and that Linka went alongside them for an investigation in possible regards to ghosts.

Ford refocuses upon thinking and decides to take this well and decides to use this as an opporunity to see how Lydia would handle the situation for the 3rd time himself as he ponders with Angus. Angus seems content that Ford is learning to let her do things herself, and that it's a slow but getting there process.

Angus and Ford find out from Amity, Luz and Anne about what they found on Aggie. Ford seem started that Aggie wasn't just done with Loch Loud back in the day and apparently had a role across seas. Ford looks into it carefully and realizes Aggie actually had murder on her hands and it was on the shock of Ford as well as Luz and Anne who looked into that the murder that put her away and her most gruseome one was none than Lydia's own great grandmother who was among the prosecuted of Aggie's across seas.

Angus and Ford both learn that she was the one who stood up to Aggie and exposed her corruptive nature to the world and was killed by Aggie not by the dragon stone but by being choked by Aggie's own bare hands for showing her corruptive nature as the world was unaware of her nature and thought she was a rightful ruler. Ford questions is Lydia really safe from Morag by default, Morag clashed with her before this revealtion and Morag did include her in her vendetta with Lincoln

Luz and Anne convince Ford that he should take some stance but should allow her to think this through which he agrees to.

The Next morning, Ford finds out the attacks the Ray 03 placed on the town Ford hears about it and that it was unleashed by Lincoln the rogue duke of Loch Loud and Ford and co don't believe it.

Ford, Luz, Anne, Amity and Marcy Wu all decide to go pursue the Ray -03 and attempt to destory it. Ford takes his ray gun while Luz and Amity use their magic, Marcy takes her cross bow and Anne takes out a sword and they go after the Ray-03. Anne and Marcy both take more physical shots at the thing but for the most part, the attacks of a cross bow and sword don't do much to due to it having very sturdy defenses and the two go looking for a weak spot as Ford, Luz and Amtiy stall it with ray gun shots and their magic.

The Ray 03 opens fire on them with it's machine guns and missles which sends the 5 rocketing with Anne and Luz both deciding to continue to attack the Ray 03 and Marcy did find an idea in regards to it's feet and runs a crossbow tying up it's feet with Ford and Amity to take their opprunity. Ray -03 catchs on to this and attacks them by using it's heat blades and gattling guns to put them off it. Ford takes a shot at the Ray-03 though  it fires a plasma cannon at Ford requring Luz and Amity to protect him.

Angus gets Ford, Marcy and Amity to work on a way to ultimately bring down the Ray 03. Marcy being a video gameist decides to look up video game guides and recongizes that it's a metal gear and that it can be brought down that way. Ford and Amity also feel like the legs are a good way to do so. and basically upon seeing it again Ford repeats what Jessie did so Anne and Luz can both  destory the armor on the jaws and the gun turrets and then they dash up to the Ray 03 and Anne cuts the UG in half

Ford gets back with Lydia, Lincoln, Linka, Scratch and Crowley who have all returned with the Soul Stone making it 4 stones and he decides he has to tell the truth to Lydia about what he and Angus learned. Lincoln and Linka both decide they want to hear this too as he agrees. Ford tells Lydia that Aggie Mclaughin's conquest over Loch Loud eventually went across seas and she slienced anyone who opposed her

Ford reveals to Lydia, Linka and Lincoln that the one that really had her put away was the murder of a spunky young woman who managed to expose her corruption to the world and was investigating the Mclaughin. As soon as she exposed Aggie to the world ruining her stellar reputation, Aggie attacked and murdered her not with the dragon stone which was how she managed to get power and hide her reptuation. Aggie killed her with her own bare hands strangling the young woman. Lydia asks Ford what this means and Ford gulps realziing what he must say and he reveals that her last name is Lopez and that Lydia looks at her photo she had and realizes that her great grand mother who she used as a ghost disguise was  the one Aggie murdered with her own bare hands, this sets Lydia as utterly stunned.

Chapter 5

As a result of Lydia's stuns,shocks and slience as a result of what Ford told her. He decides to go with Lincoln, Linka, Anne, Luz and Angus to ultimately talk about this. Ford aplogoizes to her for causing this in her, as he didn't want this to happen with her getting this. After hearing of Morag attempting to choke Lydia with her bare hands with Lincoln and that Lydia's great grandmother was benig choked by Aggie, Ford suspects that proably had a role in that like she did. Ford also suspects that Morag knew about this, and wanted to twist the knife further against her.

Anne and Luz both feel with Lydia's current state could be problemmatic to finding the 5th infinity stone which Ford agrees with. Luz does feel that Lincoln and Linka can help Lydia with this as Lincoln is good at talking about  problems as they always talk to him and Linka does seem to be close to Lydia.

Anne agrees with this assessment, Though Ford disagrees this as Lincoln may be able oto help Lydia, but that doesn't mean what they're facing won't be dangerous. Angus talks to Ford alone and decides they should help the trio and go for the power stone. He relates to Ford about his concern for her and that they should join the trio to find the stone

With Lydia, Linka and Lincoln all ready to head out, Ford and Angus both find the three and decide to join them with the power stone. While a bit recultant to this, the three agree and head out to Snow Bold.

Ford arrives in the snow temple and There are a lot of ice creatures that emerge and go after the team as Angus nativagates the team with the map to get the power stone where as Lydia uses the time stone to stop time for the group. The 5 find some keys which they use to go through the temple while pulling blocks out

Seeing a frozen red door, which according to Agnus is a short cut, Both Linka and Lincoln melt it with arrows that go through the flames.

Traveling to the 2nd floor, many of the blocks are full of ice which Ford breaks apart to let them all go through and find another small key. After entering the next room which has a puzzle which is solved by Lincoln, Linka and Lydia using simple deductions and the five continue traversing around the winter temple.

This is where a Wizzrobe appears and casts a freezing spell on them, Linka takes an arrow and shoots it this prompts Lydia, Ford and Lincoln to do the same thing. The Wizzrobe then creates clones of itself to confuse them. Angus identifies which one is the real one and this lets the other 4 get the last few hits in on it.

Ford then watches Lydia go through psyhological torture at Morag and Aggie's hand with visualizations of her great grand mother taunting the girl. Lydia tries to keep herself under control of Morag's taunts and Aggie's mental attacks to the point where she is almost ready to set the stones on her halluncation of Aggie. Ford tries to snap Lydia out of it and tries to let her maintain control and eventually he gets through to Lydia with the help of Lincoln, Linka and Angus.

Eventually, this is where they encouter Goht, who is frozen solid, Ford thaws it as it's the only way to get the power stone and the fight starts.

The Goht runs around the arena and the others follow it while avoiding stalcaities falling and the rocks that it's throwing.  The Goht launces magic attacks which Lydia deflects with the Mind Stone  which allows Lincoln, Ford and Linka to strike at it with their weapons

The Goht drops bombs which they all avoid, as both Lincoln and Ford continue to strike at it as Linka and Lydia then decide to head to the enterance areas with a bow and arrow where Angus is and he advises Lydia to the Time Stone being used to keep it in place.

As Lincoln and Ford damage it and bring it closer to the area, Lydia putting on her costume and equpiing the gauntlets to the suit uses the time stone to freeze it in place and then Linka snipes it with arrows until it's killed

Ford and company have the power stone, decide to ultimately talk to Lydia about their possible distance being bulit by Angus and Lincoln repsectively. Ford and Lydia finally tell each other about their  being in the shadow and broken nest issue. Lydia reveals that she was doing everything up to her super heroine disguise to be able to step out of the shadow of Ford. Ford meanwhile reveals that he has been having a hard time letting go a little of her, he does catch on that Lincoln was already aware as she told him. As the two discuss their confessions, Ford agrees to let Lydia do her own thing in a way while Lydia agrees to help and prevent him develop empty next syndrome and to let her do her own way.

Chapter 6

After their return, Ford talks to Angus and thanks him dearly for helping him with Lydia. Angus tells Ford that he knew they had to talk and Lincoln knew this and that they were able to work to get them talking. Ford learns that Lydia, Lincoln and Linka are all intend to chase the final stone and Ford gives Lydia the go ahead as he has confidence in her. Lydia does promise to tell Ford when she needs help and she’ll try not to get too into it.

Ford sees Eda and King again and asks Eda what is she doing here and learns that Sid is why as she sent them to invesitgate Morag and Marcy. Ford curious about why Sid wanted to investigate Marcy, and King tells him that she’s been doing things without the group knowing. Eda, Angus and Ford being the adults of the team decide that they are going to make the next move.

The three are very aware that a battle is going to be coming their way and they decide that arming themselves takes top priority.  Eda knows the Septarians weakness to magic and advises that they need to find magic items, Angus and Ford agree with this. Angus wants to stay in Loch Loud as Morag could be waiting for them to leave before planning an attack, Eda state that magic is not for the most part in Loch Loud except in the Mclaughins. Ford does have an idea, and decides the Boiling Isles is a good place to go and takes the rest of the team with him.

On the black market, Ford, Eda, Angus, Cricket, Crowley, Anne, Marcy Wu , Molly and Scratch head off to get their tools for their upcoming battle with the Septarians and monsters under Morag’s control. Ford manages to use his smarts to barter and ultimately get a magic source of one of the covens which is being sold by an associate of Eda’s from an another universe who practices in magic and spells.

Ford thanks the associate for the source and he convinces 5 of the others to get the others for their showdown which they do and once everyone is equipped with their stuff. Eda takes the team back to Loch Loud and to Lydia, Linka, Amity and Raticus who tell Ford that Lincoln was kidnapped by Morag and Aggie after they got the stone and that Morag tried to kill them. Ford concedes Angus was right though Angus tells Ford he was right too as he had a point in needling to deal with The Septarians.

Lydia decides that she is going to save Lincoln herself. She states with the powers of Space, Reality, Mind, Soul, Power and Time in her gauntlet she will be able to stand toe to toe with Morag’s powers at worst. Ford knowing that Lydia is of sound mind, he trusts her judgement and tells Lydia to do her best and just that. Ford and Lydia hug each other as Ford wishes her good luck as Lydia leaves.

As Lydia leaves to rescue Lincoln, a bit after the fact, This is when The Septarian army arrives with Ratiskor in charge. Ford and the others minus Lydia and Linka prepare to fight the Septarians and Ratiskor. Ford and the others do fend out them just fine though  Ford and the others except Sid have some trouble using their magic sources.

Ford does eventually get control of his and he manages to use some of the new magic he has to take some of the Septarians and his usage has Ratiskor not focus on him in turn for a upper hand. When he sees the Ray-03, Marcy tells Ford that she was indeed rebuilding it with her associates to use for themselves. Ford is fascinated by Marcy’s ideals but does tell her, if she should have asked him first.

Ford with the rest of the team manages to get a contact to Lincoln who just recovered from a nasty fall after Morag killed Linka. Ford tries to tell Lincoln that they need help, but Lincoln too furious with Morag lashes out at him and everyone apart from Lydia

Finale

Ford contemplates the words of Lincoln and does some thinking of his own. Ford feels that Lincoln may actually need some therapy and counciling due to this and that he may have some mental scars from dealing with all this and that Lydia may need some too. Though he will ask her before he does so. Ford is talking to Eda about this and asks should he consider this option.

Eda state that Ford can convince them but they need to make the choice themselves and she thinks Lincoln will need it more than Lydia will. Though Eda and Ford are in agreeance that the two would most certainly coverse to each other as well.

Ford joins Eda, Sid and King in going after Mysterio and Ratiskor who are guarding Morag's hideout. With Mysterio heading after Sid in a grudge, Ratiskor proceeds to go after Ford and Eda. At 1st both of them are getting beaten down by the Septarian due to youthfulness and physical adavantages. With Luz on his crosshairs, Ford and Eda both eventually get the upper hand and defeat him despite having an army come after them.

Ford alerts Eda  about the horsemen Ratiskor has on Sid, King and Luz and that he will be using this to escape from this. Eda decides that it's important to save her family of choice and safrices all of her magic to protect Ford, Sid, Luz and King from the Horsemen and this is allows Crowley and Cricket to have them brought down throught the 7 sins.

Then Ford sees Angus, Lincoln and Lydia return from the latter two taking on and defeating Morag and is relieved they're okay and tells the two they did good. Scratch that, they did great considering the circumstances. Ford offers Lincoln and Lydia therapy and counciling regarding what happened with them and Lincoln takes up the offer, Ford offers to pay for it as it matters to him.

In Loch Loud, Ford is there working away on his plans to rebuild his home and he’s beating himself up for not being able to find a way to bring Team Free Will back together after the bad press came out. Ford looks at the paper and notes how did Nolan Greyson even learn about this as he has been keeping tracks of all the publications.

Ford notes that Lydia was also smeared by Nolan and that he talks to himself that he wanted to go at this alone and dissembled his team so he wouldn’t get his friends in danger. He asks did he honesty learn not to do this?, he states to himself he did but this situation has to be on him so he can allow his kid to not be hounded by the media and that the others would take this.

Ford ponders to himself when he is found by Lisa Loud and Bruce Wayne (Gotham). Ford asks what Lisa is doing here and how she found him. Lisa explains that she is here with Young Bruce Wayne to investigate Team Free Will and Ford is the leader so he’s the ideal pick. Ford explains  that the team was disestablished by him in regards to the leak at the hands of newspaper publsiher Nolan Greyson. Bruce catches on that Ford isn’t comfortable with this and states what he will say won’t reach the public or anything as neither of them are here to report on the team.

Ford states that Nolan exposed Cleo Setori as the cause of the Weirdmagedon Accolapyse or at least that was who was thought to be the cause. He explains Toffee caused the event to them, Lisa not surprised informs Ford that Toffee was who and she knew as she went against the Weirdmagedon Cult with her own team.

Bruce and Lisa both say that he happens to know the president.

To his surpise he learns Deathstroke is the president and meets up with him, Amanda and Ibuki as the former keeps them in the loop to what happened. Deathstroke strikes a deal with Ford that he will do what he can to reserve their reputation or at least have be it more positive if he can invesigate Cleo and Nolan and stop what they have planned.

The 4 manage to get to Hilda's place and they attempt to recruit Hilda to Team Free Will as she's among the people who beleive they were innocent. Joanna does however reveal that Hilda was grounded and still is. Ford tries to covince her that he will be watching the girl for Joanna if needed. Ford is turned down as Joanna just met Ford and he's still a stranger to her.

When Hilda and Captain Hero arrive back to the team after decided to defy her, Ford decides to let it slide and welcomes Hilda to the team. Ford does warn her that it will have consqeuences and Hilda states she'll explain this time. Ford hopes she does tell her mom the truth.

Joining Lydia, Lincoln, Anne and Luz in heading to Cleo's house to see her sister, Ford finds out that she did see Cleo's escape and murder of a guard and everything else. Ford decides to get Kim's number like them so he can keep in contact with her too in case they need help.

Ford arrives in Illonis, Chicago and meets Inivinicble learning that Nolan is his dad and learns he's an alien intent on conquering Earth. Ford sarcastics mumble what a great dad he is and Mark says he was until then and that Ford sounds like his dad. Ford decides to go around himself and he breaks into the Agency that Mark is part of and looks for a file on Omni Man so he can reveal it to the president. He finds it's gone and realizes Nolan already took it and that Ford decides to equip himself with some of their weaponry so he can stand a better chance against Nolan. Ford thinks about stopping Nolan himself if he has too.

Ford returns to the team and decides to go visit Deathstroke and joins Lincoln, Lydia, Truman, Larke and Bruce in heading to the White House.

Chapter 2

Ford joining  Lincoln, Lydia, Truman, Bruce and Larke to their visit to the White House, he implores the latter to stop at a campsite as they need to take a rest. Ford  with him to visit the White House, he stops at a campsite which he has Larke park at to rest.

Ford advises the team what to do and how they should handle their meeting with Deathstroke tomorrow. Him and Lincoln both call up the others and Ford gives the others their orders in regards to their mission. After hanging up, Ford shuts off the lights telling the group to get some sleep.

The Next Day, Ford decides to take the wheel over Larke, despite her protests. Ford talks with the rest of the group about what this is all about. He reveals the files he has on Nolan Greyson and his investigation on the man and his alias Omni Man. Ford adds that the files only to see him as a hero, Earth's greatest which Ford finds absurd.

At the President's office, Ford gives what he learned on Omni Man and Nolan Greyson to Deathstroke as they exchange notes on all this that's being going on. When Lydia mentions the Nano Gauntlet she heard, Ford does remember that he did see Toffee with one back in Gravity Falls. He believes someone in M.A.L.I.C.E was working for him and got it back to him. Ford like Truman finds the idea ridclous of a Nano Gauntlet but he does believe it.

As Ford thinks on all this he just found out this is when he hears something. It's none other than Omni Man greeting Ford. Ford greets him as Nolan, and that it's a long time, this he admits. Ford asks what's he wants, Nolan tells Ford that he is aware that Ford looked into and stole his file to give to the presdient. Ford tells him it was necessary, Nolan states that's not a way to treat like an old friend.

Ford is surpised he remembers, Omni Man tells Ford that he told him to go to Gravity Falls to seek weirdness, He wrote an article on the remarkableness of Stanford Pines and he still has it as Nolan shows Ford. Ford questions Nolan's intents regarding Lydia, Omni Man is after Lydil Red and he is annoyed Ford is protecting her from him. Ford tells Omin Man that he never told Ford he was an alien, and had plans for the human race and that he was just like Bill Cipher.

Nolan takes offense and grabs Ford and tells he is nothing like Bill Cipher, he is not some maniac triangle who wanted an endless party, Nolan even calls out Ford for trusting Bill, which Ford admits he did and tells him to stop reminding Ford of this becuase he really was Ford's friend. Ford states some friend he was, he exposed the repuation of Team Free Will, and is using Cleo to get to Lydil

Ford is told by Nolan that he and the Virtumites are the future, not humanity  and that he will do anything he must to insure of this success and no one will be safe if they cross him not even Ford.

He gets back to the others, ready to expose and stop some more dirty work for M.A.L.I.C.E with Deathstroke and Selina working in tow.

Working with the rest of the group, Ford does another spy mission to do so

After their sucessful attempt to stop Killan and the others spies. Lincoln, Lydia, Truman, Ford, Bruce, Selina, Larke, Deathstroke and Number 2 all discuss what they found about Killian, Cleo and what they found on the mission. Deathstroke tells the group that he was also in contact with the others and they are in Dreamland working on fighting an conspiracy against the Tiabeanie family. Deathstroke gives the info on Dreamland, while sending them off.

He is talked to by  Lydia who wants to explain the stones and how they managed to communicate with her. The 7 of them arrive at Luci's Inferno as they meet with the rest of the team to discuss their respective missions. Despite everyone other than Ford being underage, Luci shows disdain for this under age rule and lets them in. As Ford drinks, he ponders how is he going to explain to Lydia about his past with the man who slandered her and how she will take it. He slams a lot down, since he has to choose between betraying his team's trust by keeping  the secret up or reveal something that clearly makes him uncomfortable this is something that Bean, Luci and Captain Hero notice.

Ford,  Anne, Luz, Amanda, Sid, Ford Truman, Bruce, Larke, Hilda, Lincoln and Lydia  all end up accidentaly discovering the stair case hidden by Luci, Bean and Elfo. To their shock apart from Hilda they discover it's a P.I Office

Chapter 3

Lincoln, Lydia, Ford, Amanda, Larke, Bruce, Anne, Luz, Sid, Truman and Hilda all investigate the office and observe the office realizing the P.I has really covered his tracks and it's just a simple office which is what they report to Bean, Lisa and Captain Hero

As Mark and Ford walk to Bean's Castle, they dicuss Mark's dad and Ford decides to come clean that he has been aware of Mark's existence for a while since he was a child. Mark questions how Ford knows and Ford reveals he knows Nolan and used to be friends with Mark's dad. Mark is shocked regarding Ford's revealtion and wonders how long did Ford know him. Ford admits he knew Nolan long enough until what happened with his brother. Ford even admits despite this he was unaware of Nolan's true intentions and when Ford called out Nolan on this, Nolan got offended thinking Ford saw him as a false friend.

At The Castle, Lydia, Lincoln, Ford, Hilda, Amanda, Larke, Anne, Luz, Bruce, Lisa all call up Deathstroke and report what they all did and what happened all of their ends and mentioning the P.I Office they found in Luci's Inferno which HIlda was aware of the detective but she wasn't aware the office was there

Deathstroke does mention ultimately that the P.I does work for him and the office he didn't know was there. He does mention that he has done some digging into the Nano Gauntlet and that Slade and Anti Cosmo made the Gauntlet. This confuses the others about what they know and Deathstroke explains that the duo made it somehow a long while ago to stop a bigger threat.

Anne mentions she has made a plan to go to Amphibia to pursue info in regards to the Nano Gauntlet. Ford, Larke and Bruce all necessary don't agree with this but will take anything with Bruce getting his info from Damian Darkblood who he learns was keeping an eye on the situation provided.

They find out about the work being done by M.A.L.I.C.E and there is something bigger involved in the higher ups and the three decide to ask Damian to get more info

Ford heads off to Amphibia with Lydia, Lincoln, Amanda, Bruce, Anne, Truman X, Ibuki, Selina, Bean, Captain Hero and Hilda. They head off to the Plantar House and find out about The Book that the Plantars had on the Calamity Box was taken. Ford works with Amanda, Anne and Ibuki on a plan in private to deal with the agents as well as looking into history of the Infinity Stones and Lydia's use of them.

Ford is a bit suspcious on why anyone would show up at a place like Amphiiba to cause trouble or why anyone would be here. Ford however learns from Truman that he saw the Miller Family and that M.A.L.I.C.E is here and Ford states what else has happened. Ford learns that some of M.A.L.I.C.E is indeed around and he decides he needs to go after the agents

Ford is joined by Bean, Captain Hero and Selina to go after the agents respectively that invaded and led by Mr. X and Sweet Pete. Ford is unimpressed with how M.A.L.I.C.E keep sending the same kind of agents with the same weapons instead of upping their fire power.

Mr. X and Sweet Pete however are trying to get his guard down so Ford can help them with the gems as Ford finds out from them. Ford fights Mr. X and lets Anne deal with him after Ford wears him down. Then Sweet Pete has his men surround Ford ready to excute him for Toffee. Ford tells him Toffee is dead and Sweet Pete reveals the Nano Gauntlet and that it was him that took it from his destroyed home. Toffee instructed him to use it against Ford Pines in the event he was dead as Bill Cipher was intending to have Ford killed if he couldn't have Ford. Sweet Pete states he is going to do just that. Ford realizes Sweet Pete isn't fooling and he pulls his own card getting the other team mates to gun and kill Sweet Pete's agents and force him on the run.

After returning to the gang, and Sid and co saving King. Lydia confronts Ford asking about his knowledge on Nolan Greyson and that Nolan said he knew Ford. Ford tells Lydia the whole truth about Nolan, that Nolan was a big influence on his direction but he didn't know Nolan was a Virutmite planning to conquer humanity.

Chapter 4

Ford asks would he happen to be a robot and looks at Lisa as she would be the simplest person to ask this. Lisa does her unsmile when she does and says no just someone who likes garbage cans. Ford states as he suspected it was Bender who is Anglesmith and Hero, Wile E, Lisa and Bean worked with him. Lisa claims up and reveals that they were working with her sister Luan, Slade, Anti Cosmo, Harrison and Slade's army to go against Toffee and Bill Cipher and went to Duckberg, Big City, Brighton and The Boiling Isles, She also referreed the flood that was caused by Cleo in Brighton. Molly puts the dots together as does Scratch, the latter even states that he saw a robot, a blue ghost, her, A Toad, A Teenager with a toad army, a talking snake and some smooth talking man with a mustache.

Amanda and Ford know Scratch is referring to Bender, Anti Cosmo, Captain Grime, Sasha, Ushari and Lalo Salamanca and ask Lisa what she was doing there. Lisa states investigating as apprarently he found out about what happened on Mako Island because this idiot referring to Hero was driving drunk afterwards. Captain Hero gets offended and states he was having fun. Bruce being deductive as usual, asks did someone in their group go get him which Luz suspects Marcy of doing so. The others ask Luz about this, and Luz states Eda did say to Marcy that she should have her 3 friends pick up have themselves and Marcy did go on her own. Ford states that Marcy's 3 friends must have been Slade, Anti Cosmo and Bender and it was them that got the comatose bodies of the team.

Ford decides to change the subject and decides to tell the others about Nolan. Anne agrees as they can question this later. Ford reveals he was once best friends with Nolan. This doesn't shock Amanda, Lisa, Bruce, Selina, Luz or Anne as they know Ford has connections to the past and in Bruce's case he reveals his demon detective found out about this with Selina adding that they were waiting for Ford to reveal this. Bruce and Selina are questioned for having someone investigate Ford, Bruce defends himself and states he was investgating Omni Man and did just find out about his friendship with Ford.

Ford reveals Nolan got him going to Gravity Falls, he believed in Ford's theories and even wrote up an article of him on the paper. They stayed in contact and he even got aqquainted with The Greyson Family. Mark, Sid and Eclpisa  state that's why he was troubled earlier as they all recongized this. Mark in particular looks back and realizes that this was the stranger that constantly visited the house when he was little. Mark then asks Ford why is he no longer friends with Nolan

Ford states because he was stuck for 30 years in that thing, he was tricked by Bill to make. He didn't even know Nolan was an alien, or that he was slandering his kid with those Jameson like slanders. When asked about Lydia, Ford reveals he told her but she's isn't here because she's been trying to get around the insomnia.

Truman asks about M.A.L.I.C.E, Knowing about this, Ford states Nolan is keeping it mostly to himself. Molly being the optimist she is tries to encourage Ford to be friends with him again, Ford tells her not now and Scratch states that a guy like that isn't worth it at least to him.

Ford, Truman, Larke, Anne, Luz , Lisa and the rest are all there waiting on Hilda, Lincoln and Lydia as they state they have found Flying Rhino and that they will be heading there next

Sylvester, Tweety, Mark and Ford state they are going to go talk and work with Deathstroke to find a way to weaken Nolan as Ford is against killing him. Which means Ford doesn't want to kill someone he repspected and didn't think he was crazy which Molly puts it is a foot in the right direction. Lydia showed Nolan was vulerable despite the Virtum race running in Nolan repsectively and Bruce suspects like Ford, Nolan is trying to unmask Lydia becuase of this reason and that's he is working with Cleo in part to this as well.

Ford knows Nolan won't kill Lydia, as it will risk putting Ford on his path, and Nolan does consider Ford even to this day, the smartest man he has ever meet. He's states they'll be back just don't do anything rash while he's away.

Ford, Mark, Sylvester and Tweety are in a lab with Number 2 and Deathstroke and all of them testing ways to figure how to defeat Nolan. Mark is cautious of this as he knows his dad "was" the greatest hero for a reason. Ford states that he is vulerable, and there is a way to beat him. Deathstroke asks for a sample of Mark's blood as Mark is at least half Virtumite. Mark states how with that help, Deathstroke and Ford both state if they can understand the biology or something it can help. Ford reassures Mark he is not out to kill his dad, he just needs to defeat Omni Man to prove humans are not to be conquered by aliens or the virumites spefically. Deathstroke states he is sure it's about that only, or is it about Nolan threatening his kid. Ford realizing how quick Deathstroke commented on that and Ford states it falls into both categories. Tweety takes out a syringe and hands it to Sylvester.

Sylvester holds the syringe and restrains him so he can take the sample. Number 2 takes the blood sample from Sylvester and looks at with Deathstroke. Ford, Tweety and Sylvester say to Mark they'll have to wait for a result.

Mark thinks he's just half virtumite so how will this truly help, Deathstroke states that they can understand his DNA. Sylvester and Tweety go with Number 2  and they analyze carefully the blood sample and observe this. Deathstroke, Ford and Mark wait patiently as they come back and Number 2 states that while they did learn a lot. They weren't able to figure anything out with weaknesss, he implies power is the only way so far to take him out.  

Mark asks if that means only Lydia can stop him with the Infinity Stones. Ford states mostly but he does know that Bruce has a demon detective and he approriates that as unstoppable force meets an unmoveable object respecive.  Deathstroke states Ford will fine a way and he knows Ford can get one over Nolan, Mark agrees with Deathstroke and thinks he could test and see what hurts him he's Invincible afterall. Tweety considers this and begins putting Mark through a lot of physical punishment which has Sylvester cringe a bit with the cat even telling Tweety to tone it down.

Mark states he can take this all day, Number 2 asks Deathstroke and Ford if they should allow this. Ford does tell Number 2 that until they get back.

Ford, Deathstroke and the others return to the team and the former two decide to talk to Amanda about getting her uncle and father involved. Amanda curious to this ponders why, Deathstroke reminds her that Welton works for him and that her dad could be most helpful.

Amanda states she isn't sure on her dad for reasons, Ford suspects it may have to do with happened to his little girl. Amanda denies this and says he knows Amanda is all grown up, an amazon and well other things. Deathstroke and Ford state to themselves that it may truly be about her not wanting to be undermined by her father and keep this to themselves.

Ford, Tweety and Sylvester are still busy working on and studying what they got from Mark as Ford is still uncertain and knows that he if he keeps digging he'll fine something on Nolan. Sylvester comments to Tweety how obessed Ford is getting with this and Tweety agrees pointing out that Ford is just digging himself too deep in this.

Ford asks the two what have they found, and the 2 state that the Virtumites are illusive as they have tried to find more on them, only they havn't found much except what they know from Mark and everything they dug up on Nolan

Ford heads to a dinner and looks at a menu at his table and orders some food and an coffee, however he hears his name being greeted. Ford knows this voice and it's Nolan Greyson

Ford asks what Nolan is doing here, Nolan reveals that he has been following the heroes and the use of the Space Gem of Course. Ford states he ain't going to hurt them. Nolan tells Ford to sit down, he noticed how obessive Ford has been and that the others were right for him to take a break. Nolan sits in Ford's booth and decides to have a chat

Ford Receievs his food and Nolan having done one himself sits too and as they eat. Nolan and Ford both very much back and forth about what each end is attempting to do.

Ford questions Nolan about aliens as his kids have seen them and wonders what M.A.L.I.C.E wants with aliens. While Nolan questions Ford on what he is intenting to accomplish with his plans. Ford puts out a chess board and the two play chess as they discuss what their intention is.

Nolan reveals to Ford that the alien life forms is something he didn't sign up for other than the Virtumites which are the real alien invaders. It's just M.A.L.I.C.E's leader has some plans for maritan life to invade the earth as a way of weakening the human race. Nolan states and that Cleo isn't the leader and neither is he, they are just agents. Ford tells Nolan to reveal who it really is that leads the oraganzation. Nolan states even he doesn't know the leader, just that he is a man with an tobacco habit and lurks in the shadows and that The Mllers, Steelbeak, Mr.X sand the others work for him.

Ford tells Nolan that his plans is of course to stop M.A.L.I.C.E and a way to protect his team from them especially Nolan. Nolan questions Ford on why this matters, as only that Lydil Kid is who Ford is protective of and both him and Cleo came to an agreement not to kill her. This baffles Ford as he thought Nolan wants to kill Lydia, Nolan states Cleo talked him out of it and he decided he just wanted to settle for exposing her as she is a real threat to him and his people as his fight with her showed. Ford states he can't let that and will do what it takes.

Nolan sighs realizing he will have to fight his friend, though he tells Ford after their game of chess and food they shall. He asks Ford about Mark and is he doing okay?, Ford states Mark is doing just fine and that he would be proud of his kid, he also asks Nolan when they do fight. Not in front of these people or anyway. Nolan agrees to this realzing Ford just wants to keep collateral damage from being too high.

Ford and Nolan have both found a bare area and Nolan asks if Ford is ready and this is good for him. Ford states it is just fine and the two nod heads as like it's too say nothing personal between them and that it's just their opposing methods.

Ford and Nolan both fly and run to each other and start fighting. Omni Man using his strength and flight on Ford who has himself equipped ready to go toe to toe with him. Their fight is not as one sided as it should be though Omni Man does make his blows on Ford count while Ford does manage to fare himself well enough with a ray gun and carefully placed traps on Nolan.

Nolan tosses Ford around like a rag doll before throwing him to the ground and Ford rolls away from another punch and Ford proceeds to use some of Truman's weapons on OmniMan in unconventional methods

Ford sees a clock tower and fires a shot off it to hit Nolan though he misses. He still gets a good outcome with how loud the bell is and it makes Nolan stunned and feels very real pain as a result of the Bells and Ford takes his weapon and shot Nolan with it. Nolan is still breathing but he is in pain and then he just grabs Ford and smacks him hard up.

Ford is pinned down and he dares Nolan to kill him right then and there. Nolan can't do it though despite the fact Ford got the drop with him with the bell.

This is when Eclpisa, Mark, Tweety, Scratch, Sylvester and Amanda and Captain Hero arrive to stop Nolan.

Ford tells them that he has it undercontrol. Mark states he certianly does as he and Eclpisa pull Ford out of there. .

It does let Amanda and Captain Hero get in and they face fight Nolan again and due to his weakned state they fare better. Ford begins putting two and two together realziing he found a weakness in Omni Man after all as Eclpisa and Mark watch over him

Nolan eventually breaks out of it and fights Amanda and Captain Hero more evenly and viciously. Mark manages to stop this and protects them from his dad, and Amanda stabs Nolan with her blade with Captain Hero holding him.

Ford tries to tell them to leave Nolan alive, as he is not out to kill Ford. Captain Hero adds but it's fair he wants to kill them. Ford states it's more personal than that.

Ford reveals that Nolan found them through the space gem, Eclpisa calls him for tryign to pursue Omni Man alone. Ford states he wasn't looking for him, Nolan found him and he tells Tweety and Sylvester that this digging paid off and now he has what he needs, a way to deal with Omni Man effectively or make him vulerable.

Mark asks Ford on what this is and Ford states he needs to try his idea on Mark before hand and to come alone.

As the team heads back to their ends, They are approached by a family of spies. It turns to be indeed Truman's family that came here on his requests in regards to M.A.L.I.C.E. They are Mr X (The Spy), Mrs X and Tuesday X. Mr.X provides intel that the team was followed by The Ys and that they have been under the orders of M.A.L.I.C.E. Ford asks do they know who is the real employer as Nolan does not

Mr and Mrs.X Reveal they don't but that are working in conjuction with bald guy, The White Agents, Killian, Steelbeak and The Millers and are here according to what they know.

Ford states their kid is with his and that he'll be safe. Mrs X tells Tuesday to go find the other members of the team as they will be their other son and she obliges.

Mark asks Ford what did Ford find out on Omni Man and his weakness. Ford explains to Mark that he needs these ear buds on him so he can test thigns. Eclpisa and Scratch both ask Ford what is he doing and Ford shows what's he doing  and he blasts something loud in Mark

This causes Mark a lot of pain with Eclpisa questioning Ford on this as is Amanda who disapproves this. Ford tells them that Virutmites don't like loud noises and that he has discovered this during his fight with Nolan and that is a weakness that he needed to see if Mark had it too.

Amanda ponders Ford will make a kind of sound weapon or something to use against Nolan. Ford states he will but he may need Truman and Lisa's help about this. The Adult Xs then tell the team to follow them and they'll show what they're capable of doing

Ford, Sylvester, Tweety, Scratch, Amanda, Eclpisa and Captain Hero all follow them as they decide to pursue what the Xs have in mind

Ford, Scratch, Eclpisa, Sylvester, Mark and Tweety  all meanwhile use the aspect they learned about Nolan and the Virtumites. Ford is trying to make a sound percing device that they can use on Nolan

Ford continues looking into a way to make a powerful device to pierce the Virumites when they invade and spefically Nolan to defeat him. He was successful in constructing a weapon and puts in front of Scratch, Sylvester and Tweety saying what do they think. Scratch points out it just looks like a weapon and not anything spectualr

Tweety agrees and states does he really think he can could use it on Nolan. Ford concedes to this, he does admit he has no idea how to use a weapon made of sound like ammo. Sylvester, Tweety and Scratch think on this and Scratch thinks about using a burping sound which Ford thinks is ridculous

Mr.X, Truman's dad has an idea of his own as he overhears this and states he may have a solution and that he and the misses will take him there. Ford, Mr and Mrs X are all seen by Deathstroke who has something to show them

Deathstroke and Ford both realize that their bug might be compromsed further than they realize in regards to what Deathstroke heard in regards from the families

Deathstroke, Ford, Mr and Mrs X and Amanda all listen as Deathstroke plays a recording he found recorded at the Setori House hold. Deathstroke explains that it seems their bug was compromised further than they realized  and that things indeed when wrong

Amanda asks what happened as does Ford, Deathstroke reveals that Cleo's parents are dead now too and that Kim has been infected by a virus herself. Ford and Amanda do suspect that something is even bigger than that.

Deathstroke states what exactly do they think and Ford states like someone intended to use her as a weapon.

Mr. X has his spy vechile and brings Mrs. X, Ford and Deathstroke into the car as he discusses what his plan is in regards to Ford's device. He states he will take Ford to his home and that he;ll show him what he has in mind. Mrs X tells Ford that one of S.N.A.F.U''s agents can be used for this intent as they have sound based like powers. Ford comments how much she sounds like Eda, and this is something Mrs. X has heard  before from Eclpisa. Ford asks if they can really are serious on this. Mr. X states of course he does, he knows what's he doing and if not then the Home System A.I can help in that regard

Mr X, Mrs X, Ford , Deathstroke all arrive at the Setori House as Amanda, Captain Hero, Eclpisa, Tweety, Sylvester and Scratch are waiting for them.

Mr X, Mrs. X. Ford, Deathstroke, Amanda, Captain Hero, Eclpisa, Tweety and Sylvester all arm themselves in the event of being attacked by Cleo as they go up the stairs and quietly so Cleo can't know they're here.

They all burst open the room and they see Cleo and Kim who Cleo is trying to find some way to cure them and she notes all the heroes are gunning for her.

Cleo is quick to notice this and asks what the hell are they doing here. Ford and Amanda both take the lead and try to calm her down saying they are here to help her with Kim. Deathstroke advices the two to keep their heads up as Cleo may be dangerous. Cleo states she can do this herself and uses her own powers to attack the others and that she doesn't need them.

Eclpisa, Ford, Sylvester, Tweety are brought in by Scratch who has been trying to save Kim himself as Amanda and Hero take on Cleo. This is when Kim's unconsciousness body is sealed into chrysatlis and the group tries to blow it up or damage though this doesn't work as it is harded as a result as the others try to break the chrysatlis in turn.

Ford arrives telling Lincoln, Lydia, Hilda, Sid and King about Cleo and Kim and what happened. The 5 are shocked at exactly what happened to the Setori Family in regards to viruses and mapulation of them at the hands of someone they are unaware of.

Ford, Lincoln, Lydia, Hilda, Sid and King head off. Lincoln is trying to put things together about what he was told. He asks Ford about what he suspects this with Ford saying that no one infects themselves knowingly to kill their parents unless there is a turbelnet relationship.

Sid wonders what Cleo was doing to Kim to clarify it as saving her life, King states maybe she was really trying to save her sister. Sid, Lydia and Lincoln all believe this due to their faith in her. Ford, HIlda and King all feel she has some ulterior motive though.

Lincoln, Lydia, Sid, Hilda and King all join Ford and Amanda at the Setori House as Ford shows them what happened to Mr and Mrs.Setori with Amanda warning them that it's graphic. Lincoln  deducts that Cleo wasn't who killed them and it was a indirect murder in regards to interaction.

Ford and Lydia both ask what he means, Lincoln tells the two that it was skin interaction and that she had something in her that was used to transfer a bodly virus or something from her to them. Eclpisa and The Xs agree with this assessment as they show up and say according to what Mrs X looked into it was meant spefically for the family and only to target them

Ford, Lydia, Lincoln, Eclpisa, Amanda and Hilda all observe the crystal caccoon and state that it will eventually break as Amanda puts it and she'll do just that. Eclpisa and Ford both stop her from that as they could kill Kim and give Cleo a reason to rein hell on them

Amanda points out that Cleo has already done that since she allgned with Omni Man and M.A.L.I.C.E. Ford states still it's wise to play safe

Lincoln, Hilda and a tired Lydia all observe some cracks of their own beginning to show on the caccoon. Lincoln noticing Lydia to sleep or something as all that use of the stones has left her a bit too tired, Lydia tries to assure Lincoln she can still stand and all. Ford isn't buying this and tells her to just lie down or eat something while they see this through.

Lincoln, Hilda, Ford, Eclipsa and Amanda see the cracks get bigger and then an unusually colored arm breaks out of the husk

Ford, Amanda, Eclpisa, Lincoln and Hilda all see something emerge out of the husk and turns out to be an unusually colored girl of many colors. Ford calls the Xs in and they run a scanner on the girl and Mrs. X clarifes this is Kim. Hilda states how could that be her as it looks nothing like her.

Ford, Eclpisa and Amanda have it figured out that Cleo must have transmuated her or something as Ford can tell Kim is now a metahuman but he doesn't know what her exact powers are.

Ford, Lydia, Lincoln, Hilda, Sid, King, Mark, Eclpisa, Sylvester, Tweety and Scratch all  return back to the team and when asked by Truman about his parents, Ford states they're staying around and they want Tuesday to come while Truman can stay with them.

Chapter 5

Lincoln, Ford, Luz, Anne, Truman and the new transformed Kim are all having breakfast as a result. They are wondering what exactly KIm has going for her.

Kim states that it feels so weird to see all this be her, wandering what her sister was trying to do. Ford explains Kim was transmutated by Cleo somehow curious to how her powers work like that. Truman states she used the Gems,

Anne asks what is Lydia doing and Ford states she's still sleepnig in bed. Lincoln notes that this is suprising due to her insomia, and that she sleeped well. Truman and Ford decide they might as well as go see the extent of Kim's new powers and With Ford having sent Amanda and co after the Time Gem and that Bean and Hero going for something of their own. They can do this while traveling through. Kim states she doesn't need training she knows her powers, Ford does point out she doesn't have proper control and asks Lincoln to take Lydia's Breakfast to her and wake her up.

Ford, Truman, Kim, Anne and Luz all enter to Lydia and Lincoln's room and state they're on the way to something, a way to test Kim's new powers and possibly go looking for other stuff relating to M.A.L.I.C.E . Ford asks if he was interupting and both of them state nothing

The 7 of them have headed off to a place unknown to them and Kim is being studied by Ford, Anne and Luz. Ford and Anne place some targets for Kim and tell her to hit them, Kim decides to burn them which she does though she uses too much force. Luz puts them out and the trio tell Kim that it wasn't bad but she used too much force. Kim states that she did hit the target like told. Ford explains that it's not about using brute force but also have discpline and using it for other uses.

Kim asks what Ford means, Ford explains that her powers should be used for stuff to make things easier. He presents a flower seed and tells her to use the dirt powers and water powers she has to allow the flower to grow. Kim understands this and does give it a try.

Ford, Luz, Kim and Anne after some time and work with Kim's powers chill, though Ford feels something and Kim states it's not her. Ford states he feels something familar and equps his weapon he made with the others. Nolan arrives and states that he knew Ford would be here, Ford was expecting to see him as well and is glad he came. Ford presents his sound weapon and uses it on Nolan stunning the Virtumite and causing him pain. Ford then instructs Kim, Anne and Luz to deal with him

Luz and Kim both manage to do a number on him by using their magic and combined powers. Anne doesn't have as much luck due to using a blade and a tennis raquet. Anne and Ford do note that Kim is still going a little overkill on her powers due to lacking the control still.

Nolan commends Ford for making leaveway on him though it won't save them hand to hand and he asks why did he indoctirdate the girl. Ford said he didn't, Cleo saved her and transmutated her sister, Nolan understands this and admits he was wrong that M.A.L.I.C.E's leader did take things too far with that. Ford questions why he is helping him, Nolan states he's only helping for now and will turn on him when the gems are completed and the Virtumites arrive,

Ford also recongizes Nolan is unable to take intense heat as well as Kim's fire attacks are the thing that hurt him the most as he does so.

Nolan then knocks out Kim, Anne and Luz all brutally and tells Ford to take them to a hopsital before they end up in a coma state as he flies off. Ford gathering the three goes to find Lincoln, Lydia and Truman knowing the Soul Stone could do the trick

Ford finds Lydia, Lincoln and Truman and tells them what happened with Nolan. He is however happy to state he has found Nolan has a weakness to heat as well. Ford explains Nolan did this to them and notes as well Nolan wasn't trying to kill the three despite it though and even advised a hopsital. Ford states the Soul Stone will work, Lydia hands Ford the stone and Ford states Lydia should do it. Lincoln explains that they can proably stop Cleo with the stones, but Lydia can't do it with all of them in her gauntlet and that they need others to use them too. Ford recultant agrees and does use the Soul Stone.

Anne, Luz and Kim wake up and look Ford being tuckered out as he admits it took a lot out of him. Truman states for his age defiently. Ford states that they need six gauntlers to separate the powers and then use it in case Cleo gets it. Luz and Anne both want to be part of Lydia's plan to take Cleo using the stones as Lincoln and Ford are in on this it seems. Lydia agrees and states of course, she does needs to find one last person and doesn't want to risk Truman. Truman understands and he states that he can contribute by making them, she agrees

Lincoln tells them that they got something from Lisa and Sid, that aliens were indeed around and that Nolan and Cleo have their own agendas away from the M.A.L.I.C.E. Leader which they knew and that they were abducted and being brought to Banff. As Well as other stuff, Ford states then they will head there once the Time Gem is gathered or took account for and they will find the others

Lydia, Lincoln, Truman, Luz and Anne leave with Kim asking Ford is she supposed to be a weapon for Ford to beat Nolan. Ford states she isn't and that he ain't using her that way, he does point out it's a concidence that she has heat powers and it's a weakness to Nolan. Kim states she is worried about herself, and that she has no idea about her new biology works and what she hasn't found out about it. Ford states he'll keep studying her if he needs to and no he's isn't treating as an experiment. Kim tells Ford she just wants to know what her transmutated system is about.

Chapter 6

Ford gets Communcation with Agnet Bishop about heading to Moose Jaw and the teams discuss what they saw on their side. Truman, Anne, Luz and Kim discuss what they found with Kim's new metahuman abilties comparing her to a Captain Planet Heroine and the aliens that invaded South Park and what Mina did in regards to them. Sid and Lisa explain that are looking into it and Larke states that they went to Tegridy Farms and that Hero and Bean techinally got high. This gets a look of disapproval from Ford and Eclpisa. Stan shares their frustration as that's how his dad is. Anne seeing Hero and Bean getting high certianlly knows this feeling, it was like when she drank Hop Pop's drink. Ford and Bishop both agree that it looks like the Power Gem is located there and it's the final gem, Ford is unsure they will ensure of it as Nolan might get his hands on it or Cleo and then they're outgunned, but feels if Nolan does get it, Cleo still won't suceed which Amanda and Ibuki agree to. Larke ponders and thinks that even with the gems, They're still on a toe to toe basis as Lydia does have the Infinity Stones and they are more stable with the gems.

Lincoln is busy watching the news with Hilda, Sylvester, Molly and Scratch and they find that something went down in Royal Woods, an utter disaster that has people gone missing, murders, car crashs and incidents.

Lincoln and the others go to see Ford about this and want to stop what's happening. Ford states that they to find the Power Gem and reunite with the others while stopping M.A.L.I.C.E. Lincoln continues arguing with Ford about this he wants to do something about this, Anne admits both of them right to an extent stating Lincoln is rightfully worried but Ford does have a pragmatic approach as well.

Lincoln decides he has enough and is going to go after Royal Woods himself and says screw it he's going to Royal Woods regardless and do what's right, heading off. Lydia raises her eyebrow at this, knowing why he's doing so as the others discuss this. Ford admits he is proud Lincoln stood his ground against him and was testing him.

Ford, Anne, Luz, Amanda and the others all arrive in Moose Jaw, Ford and Truman pull out their tractor and decide to lead them to the Power Gem. Hilda states that first they need to find the others and Bruce and Selina agree and they all head to find them. Ford and Truman agree to find them as well. Anne notices Lydia isn't with the team, Kim tells Anne that Lydia joined Lincoln to go after Royal Woods, and that Luz spied on them and found out. Anne is now reassured, as she was worrying for her.

Truman, Ford and Hilda all overhear this and the former two state that they knew Lydia would do so. Hilda asks how so, Ford states that they both live in Royal Woods and that they are trying to save their town. Hilda understands, as she has to save her town multiple times.

Ford and the crew are at Moosejaw and they state that it is most essential to go find where that power gem is. Scratch is questioning how they think having 2 gems can stop M.A.L.I.C.E, when they have 3 of them. Ford and Bruce both think on this and they come to an answer in that as long as they keep some out of the hands of the organzation it;ll be worth it. Truman is more cyncial and believes that M.A.L.I.C.E is setting them up and wants them to find the gems so they can obtain them.

Truman and Ford talk on Lydia and the stones realizing and that they can be protected by getting wiped off with her using the stones. Ford asks if she is capable of doing it, Truman states he has total confidence as asks if Ford does which Ford does agree to. Amanda offers her solution to just use the stones for themselves to protect themselves from the Infinity Gems. Ford states that's the idea but Amanda can't handle them without consequences. Kim offers to use the stones, the stones were used to make her so she is most likely to be able take it without condsequence. Ford, Truman and Amanda ask can she use them like Lydia, Kim states she can learn if possible and maybe use the gems to bring people back in the event it's done.

Ford, Truman, Kim, Amanda, Luz and Anne see Hilda come back and she tells them that she found the location of the power gem according to the stones scanning. Ibuki and Selina return and state that they saw a galactic headquarters up ahead of aliens. Hilda states that is excatly where is, Ford is skeptical suspecting this is too easy and tells everyone to get themselves equipped in the event it's a trap

Everyone agree does just that and the group heads to the Galactic Headquarters with Ford leading the way with the others not too far behind.

As Ford and the others reach the enterance they are attacked on the spot and considered intruders intitally and Everyone gets into a face off with agents of the Galactic Federation. Ford was right to act on this and everyone goes on the offense to fight off them. Luz however is quick to notice an illusion and goes to investigate after holding her breath with a invisbility glyph

Betty, Luz, Anne, Ford, Scratch, Ibuki, Selina, Bruce, Kim, Sylvester, Hilda, Eclpisa, Molly Mcgee, Scratch Mcgee, Sylvester, Truman all brief out and Betty explains that they have been on M.A.L.I.C.E themselves but it was a group called S.U.S.P.E.N.S.E that sent this and Ford knows The Miller Family was behind this as well as Malestorm. Betty confirms and states that it's been a long time since she has been active and that this will be a heck of a time

This is when another invasion occurs and it's the Virtumites, Martianss, alien foes, Alpha and Luranis and everyone springs into action . Ford is on his way to help the others until he is stopped by Nolan.

Ford tells Omni Man he needs to save his team and Nolan states that won't be necessary as they will be dealt with in short time. Ford pulls out his sound weapon and other gizmos and beginning Fight Nolan one to one as a result

Ford and Nolan continue their own personal battle of brain vs brawn and it goes to a head when Ford finally gets a shot with his sound weapon on NOlan and then attacks Nolan to go get the others as Amanda tells him that Cleo is going to get the Power Gem. Ford heads off but Nolan grabs him saying that this isn't done yet and the two continue to fight

Lisa, Sid, Truman, Larke, Hilda Bruce, Ford, Anne, Luz and Amanda all realize that the snap was targetting only humans and not any non humans or metahumans. Amanda gives credit for consistency to her, Larke questions her wording, Sid stops her and says that Larke's universe is safe as they sent some of that power to them to use for protection to her boy friend.

Lydia, Lincoln, Deathstroke, Mike, Welton, Agent Bishop, Mulder and Scully return and see the others. Everyone is glad to see the two safe with all of them just glad to see them alive. Ford says that they got Cleo, Nolan, The Spies, The Aliens and whatever those two dealt with on their plate admitting this won't be easy.

Chapter 7

The Adults decide to send the kids out of the room so they can set on their own plan in this regards with Ford, Mulder and Scully leading this charge. Deathstroke, Mike, Welton and Agent Bishop take tallys and announce who was snapped out among their crews. Jauna states he knows what happened and he had to break it gently to Hilda as soon as they runited which saddened him.

Sylvester and Tweety ask Ford what the next play is, Ford states that he knows they're low on numbers but they will still defeat M.A.L.I.C.E and this is agreed upon by Eclpisa and Amanda

Ford states he is not killing Cleo, and this is agreed with by Sylvester, though everyone states Cleo needs to die as she is too dangerous. Ford and Sylvester argue that She can be still reasoned with as Lydia, Sid and Lincoln have faith. Eclpisa changes her tune and agrees. Deathstroke and Jauna both state while faith isn't bad they lost friends and loved ones to the snap and Jauna promised to keep her daughter safe as Joanna was dusted and feels Cleo is too dangerous with Hilda

Eclpisa and Ford while admtiing this is true, state they can just beat her and Nolan and that they can use the infinity stones for Cleo.

Scully interupts and states that the Mind Flayer is also a concern too, as she and Mulder both know that thing can't be ignored. Mulder explains to Ford and the others that it is an alien like being from the Upside Down that's huge and has been flaying others and this is what Lydia and Lincoln dealt with.

Mike states that he didn't even know that when putting him in the infirmary. Jauna, Ford and Deathstroke inquire on this as Jauna wants to know more in regards to what it did to Pyrhtya and that he encountered, Ford due to his worry for Lydia and Lincoln as they faced that thing and Deathstroke states he found out about it and sent his men to find Lincoln and Lydia

Mulder and Scully explain that they were hunting after Demogorgons and all that residents of the Upside Down for a while with Lincoln and Lydia as the two found it before hand. Ford asks when did this happen as does the Team Free Will members. Scully states in Dreamland and the two hunted it.

Ford states that he, Anne, Luz and Lincoln will help her as they have been picked people to use the stones and havn't decided on the sixth one

With Hero, Ford, Amanda, Eclipsa, Sylvester, Tweety, Scratch and the others putting their thoughts to work they decide how to split their work. Ford, Amanda, Eclpisa, Deathstroke, Mike, Wleton with their decision made decide to settle for the spies, Ford does so to keep Nolan distracted so he can deal with him. He feels bad putting Lydia potentially in harm's way but he'll have the others protect her in case or she'll do like wise

Jauna and Ford discuss Hilda and think she should be the 6th user and Ford stating Lincoln was thinking on it. Eclpisa goes off to tell Sid of their plan as does the Agents go to just that.

Deathstroke, Amanda and Ford discuss the kids and think they should get their input too regarding Cleo due to their knowledge and that they should be allowed a say too, as Deathstroke can trust. Amanda states Eclpisa talked her out of trying to go for the stab but she will fight with exterme prejudice if she must. Ford tells Amanda that he is working on a way, but does admit Cleo is inddeed weakened and that the gems's unstableness work to their edge.

All the kids all set off to do their own thing but they are stopped by Ford, Eclpisa, Deathstroke, Mulder and Scully who ask what they're doing. The kids explain they're going to go stop M.A.L.I.C.E and the Mind Flayer. Ford states not alone they will, and that they're acting risky.

Larke and Bruce argue saying that they will be careful, Deathstroke says being careful isn't enough and knows that made a plan but it will take more than either of that. Larke and Bruce state Lincoln and Lydia made the plan for them to excute. Ford asks Lydia and Lincoln about this and they explain.

Mulder and Scully both think the two are on to something and they tell Ford they can accompany the kids to keep them safe. Deathstroke agrees to this as does Ford, Jaune wants in on this too so he can earn Joanna's love and Hilda's as well. Ford and Eclpisa don't know as they just meet him. Sid states that Eclpisa just met her when they met and she was already close to her and Hilda advocates this too.

Ford, Deathstroke and Eclpisa concede and tell him to keep the kids safe.

Lincoln says Hilda will be holding the 6th stone and that they will use them together when the time comes. Ford asks if Hilda knows how to use the infinfity stones. Lincoln, Lydia, Luz and Anne decide to show and explain to her with Truman, Larke and Bruce deciding to help.

Hilda is told about the infinity stones and their power by Lydia, Anne, Lincoln, Luz, Truman, Bruce and Larke and how they were found. Hilda asks if Lydia can use all six stones, why not just do that, Lydia tells Hilda that for all the power it has it drains her and she needs to eat a lot of food to recharge. Lincoln says that he's knows the most after her about them due to their close connection. Anne and Luz both say that's putting it lightly, Anne states that each of them has a stone to use for their own ends.

Ford has the Space stone because of his connection to knowledge, Anne says she has the power stone because of her tendency to fight physically. Luz states Hilda has the reality stone due to what Lincoln told them about Hilda's own way of traveling. Hilda then asks about Lydia, Lincoln and Luz's spefically stones. Truman, Larke and Bruce state avout Lydia, Lincoln and Luz respectfully that Lydia pefers the Mind Stone, Lincoln has heart and Luz having the Time Stone is just concidental.

Mike, Deathstroke and Ford lead the way as they make their way to the rest of the operatives as a result knowing they are not protected by their forces. Sid gets the wand ready and with King and Eclpisa decides Mina is hers.  Amanda states that's good as long as Cleo is hers and Anne states that she'll help as will Kim. Amanda concedes and lets them help out as a result

Ford decides to deal with Nolan and get the gems back as Nolan will find out as he figures and he wants to take out Nolan. Ford feels that he can stop Nolan

Welton states what makes him think that, Ford states that he knows The Virtumites Weakness after testing on Mark. Mark tells Ford to go on easy on his dad, which Ford states he can't make promises but will not kill him.

Amanda, Kim and Anne all manage to celebrate that took out all the members of M.A.L.I.C.E, Though Ford warns them that it's ain't over and Deathstroke as well as Mike say there is still Cleo to deal with

Ford is hearing about all the details when Nolan shows up unamused to Ford saying did he really think distracting him would work. Ford states he suspected Nolan would know this and that what's he needed. Nolan states the kids were tougher then he thought, he admits he could have had them until that thing showed up.

Ford angered that Nolan was going to kill his friends states he told Omni Man what would happen. Nolan states the Virtumites were killed by that kid of his and that he has been doing much of this for his people and Ford still doesn't get it. Nolan points out worse they were stabbed by that thing that stopped them with the tetnactles.

Ford refers to The Mind Flayer, Nolan understands and states that he suspects the boss wants to keep him quiet metaphorically and literally. Ford tells Nolan that he can stop this, he can stop this guy and let the remaining Virtumites leave in peace

Nolan states he wish he could, it's his people's goal  and he will do just that. Nolan states that he just needs to defeat Ford first, Ford is who he considers his biggest yet most admirable threat to his plan. Nolan asks Ford does he understand this, Ford states he does and asks about his son

Ford states is the plan worth aleinating his one son, the pride and joy of his. Nolan pauses at this and states he's doing this for his son. Ford asks did you have ever ask Mark.

Nolan pauses once more and states it's best for both of them, and he can't let Ford do so. Ford takes his sound based weapon ready to fight Nolan and Nolan gets ready though neither of them are looking particually ready.

Ford's upperhand is revealed to have been because he has the Klaxus plant which he could use to weaken  Viltrumites enough to make them vulnerable to attacks. Nolan feels exhausted as does Ford during their fight.

Ford tells Nolan that he can stop himself from this and that Nolan states he has done everything for the people he cares, his people, his son, Ford and how does he not get that.

Ford explains to Nolan that he has missed so many things stuck in the middle of nowhere for 30 years. He has been missed his nephew and niece being born, his brother for all the hardships, his assistant, his family. Ford states he felt personally reponsible for ruining Gravity Falls and letting Bill Cipher trick him. While not all of this was on him, he didn't help.

Ford tells Nolan to let him hear the good things that came from what happened to him. Ford learns Humility, Understanding, When to keep his ego in check and learned to love like Nolan himself did. Ford states that he learned how to forgive those who deserve it and he admits he forgives Nolan for not being honest with him back then and that he understands his alien heritage. Ford wanted to beat Nolan and only do that for not just himself but for his son, he wanted to friends again with the one man who truly got him other than his brother and to get closure

Nolan is touched by this and tells Ford he wanted to hear that since they first remeet. Nolan states that he could reach a compromise with Ford, which Ford doesn't disagree with. Mark and Deathstroke come to Ford and tell him that the kids need help. Ford states he'll be there.

Ford then steps in with the Space Gem and the 7 manage to overpower Cleo to bring her down.

Kim, Lincoln, Lydia, Luz, Anne and Hilda all thank Ford for saving them and what took him. Ford states Nolan was why and he managed to talk Nolan down.

Nolan decides to screw this and go against his boss and work with Lincoln, Lydia, Ford, Anne, Luz, Kim, Truman, Larke, Bruce, Amanda, Mulder and Scully to stop it.

With Lydia, Lincoln, Ford, Amanda, Anne, Luz, Sid, Lisa, Hilda, Truman, Bruce, Larke, Mulder, Scully, Jauna, Nolan and Cleo all together they all put a plan to overcome the Mind Flayer and for the heroes to save Team Free WIll and Nolan to save his race.

Ford and Nolan are both heading to the gates so they can seal off the Mind Flayer's influence from the CSM as Nolan knows he is powerful enough to do so and Ford is smart enough to just that, they just need the the center as it's clear to go.

Lydia, Lincoln , Truman, Mulder and Scully all arrive too with them joining Ford and Nolan in heading to the center of the where the Mind Flayer orginated. Lydia is scared that she will have to go straight in the upside down but has to put a brave face. Mulder and Scully ask Ford and Nolan if the plan is safe, as they don't want a kid being on them. Ford states he will do what he has to do.

As Mulder calls for step 2

Ford and Nolan agree and call HIlda and Jauna to get to the gate to keep Lincoln, Lydia and Truman safe as Nolan flies into battle with Ford jumping off him and prepares to fight the many Demo Dogs and Demo Bats that are coming for them.

Ford, Nolan, Mulder and Scully manage to ultimately together manage to keep the rest of the Upside Down monsters from reaching the rest of them

With Lydia going after the Mind Flayer and Lincoln growing concern for her and wanting to rescuce her, . Ford,  and Nolan decide to send in Kim to find her though everyone is so touched by all this as Lincoln says why he needs Lydia and Lydia needs him,  Amanda and Cleo have already gone through unknown to the others to save Lydia.

Epilogue

Ford and the others find out about Amanda and Cleo's deaths at the result of trying to do the right thing by bringing the people back from the snap and stopping the alien invasion. Ford gets concerned for Lydia as he sees her puppy dog eyes wear downwards. Ford take charge of getting a funeral ready and Deathstroke's assoicates contact Amanda and Cleo's parents and families to give closure

Ford tries to reach out to Lydia and tries to help, offering her favorite food which she doesn't respond to. He knows this is serious and asks the others what to do with her. Deathstroke's Associates reveal that Lydia was outed as Lydil Red by someone though The FBi Agents and Lincoln know who it is.

He, Anne and Luz help Lydia get back on her feet and help get back to Deathstroke's office and Saul hands them his Extractor Card and Mr.X with Deathstroke drive them to the Vacumm Store

Deathstroke and Ed decide that Luz must camp with Ford as Ford is close to The Owl House and that Luz will likely be safier in Gravity Falls as Deathstroke reveals that he has his associates rebuild Ford's home and that Gravity Falls is a remote location so it's perfectly safe. Ford is thankful of his associates doing that and Deathstroke tells Ford it's the least he can do for the leader of the team as he sends the two into Mr. X's vechile

Ford and Luz are brought to the cabin and after settling in Luz decides to call Eda about this and Ford agrees as she should be told. Luz and Ford both are trying to puzzle out how Lydia got leaked of her info if Nolan didn't do so. Nolan is at Ford's door and  Nolan wants to renew his friendship with Ford and admits he was right to an extent and that he is sincerely sorry for what ever he did to him. Ford isn't so willing to trust Nolan, but he admits it's a start at the very most. He tells Ford he has a plan to lead the Virutmites to a new and a better world on his planet and would like Ford to help him this. Ford asks about this mission and Nolan tells Ford that he has other Virtumites opposing and going after his ideals and would like the help of his old but brilliant friend with this

Luz thinks he's asking much, though Ford decides to agree to this and says if Nolan is serious. He'll tell him everything, Nolan agrees and asks when Ford is ready for this and he'll start when Ford is ready

Ford nods and tells him it's glad they can try and put their past behind and renew their friendship

Countdown To Chang's Guide To The Galaxy

Chapter 1

Ford and Omni Man  arrive to Deathstroke's office. Deathstroke, Agent Bishop and Mr.X question this as Ford is supposed to be in hiding with the rest of Team Free Will.

Ford says that Nolan came to get him and that he needed his help with something so he left the cabin to help him and got some of his other bandmates to watch Luz. Deathstroke tells Ford he was supposed to and now they can be comproimsed with what was on the news.

Ford questions what news and Agent Bishop shows him  Homelander's declare of Manhunt on Team Free Will. Ford asks who he is and Mr.X tells Ford he is the head of Vought Coroporation and that while he looks like a typcial america loving hero, he is really an insane attention seeking murder according to what they were told with The Bad Guys.

Nolan explains that Thragg is the most dangerous of all his kind and the most vile, he was trained to be the strongest, he cares nothing of his people apart from how he use them. Nolan admits he himself doesn't know to deal with Thragg despite his power and intellgence, he feared Mark would get killed if he did. Knowing Ford found a way to hurt him before, maybe Ford can help get Thragg defeated in this event.

Ford says he was told of Thargg by Nolan and he needs to stop him before he can lord his power over them all. Mr. X and Bishop state that their Virtumite isn't the only problem and that they have Irkens and Dregg to deal with as well. Ford and Nolan both understand immediatly that someone is replicating the invasion a while ago.

Bruce Wayne and Larke Tanner arrive just like Ford and Nolan, Deathstroke comments does his security just let everyone in and that did anyone really listen. Bruce states with the death of this other guy called Bruce Wayne, he is techinally off the suspcion which Ford agrees to.

Deathstroke asks why are both of them here. Bruce states he is here for the reason he mentioned and if possible to get permission to investigate from Larke. Ford says that Mr.X already did some recongizzance though it was about aliens.

Deathstroke explains Bruce might by of some help to their play as his multiversal P.I is on the case and reported this to him. He does ask Bruce what he knows about Vought, Bruce admits not a lot but he can tell there's something fishy with them.

Ford and Nolan overhear this and decide to ask Larke next what she was dealing with.

Larke states that monsters were invading her world, fire breathing octopuses, block monster, beetles with sword you name it. She was working on something she got from Betty's DNA, her own serum and mixing it in with Exteremis to create a hero like herself in the future.

Deathstroke isn't pleased that she went behind his back. Larke admits she should have but she wanted to do something to create a sucessor to his work and that she and Troy talked about this as they trained together. Ford and Nolan feel it's a grey area as does Deathstroke and tell Larke to use more disperancy next time. Mr.X asks about the monsters Larke was talking about.

Larke said that it felt like it was unsual for such beings to appear and that it felt like a corporation was making them. Bruce, Ford, NOlan and Deathstroke all suspect Vought but Larke said Vought is a pharmatical company who just so happens to knows Supes.

The 4 roll their eyes at this.

Agent Bishop tells Deathstroke, Ford, Nolan, Mr.X, Bruce and Larke that more  people came to visit and it's Betty, Master Chief and The Aribter. Deathstroke states that he actually hired them out in regards to this whole thing to help out and they know space so they will take a spaceship and head out to go against the invaders.

Ford and Nolan ask Master Chief about the Virutmites, but Master Chief doesn't  know much apart from Thragg who attacked them both and managed to destory his ability to contact his supreriors. Arbiter compares to him to Truth who Ford wonders who he is and learns of the Covenant. Nolan suspects the Covenant might be colluding with The Smoking Man

As if that wasn't enough Mr.Wolf and the Bad Guys enter as well and tell him that they found his P.I and told him what Deathstroke wanted them to know. Mr.X and Agent Bishop both instruct the others that they are ready to take this to space and that with the ship the Spartian and Arbiter has, they can head off and stop the ongoing invasions.

Nolan tells them that he can breath in space so he may not need a ship, Ford convinces him to come along anyway and that this could work out anyway.

Ford, Nolan, Bruce and Larke overhear Deathstroke and The Bad Guy's communciation with Scully, Mulder, Truman and The Xs and realize Deathstroke is right. Ford tells Bruce and Larke that no one can know what they're doing here for the Team's sake.

Ford agrees when Nolan said that Lydia is resisistnet,  but points out that Amanda and Cleo's passing, and what has happened to her might lower her resistence, while spelling trouble  if anyone finds them.  Not that she is weak as Ford puts it, but maybe unbalanced. Bruce admits grief and anger do cause inbalance

Larke tells Ford of the fates of Lori, Leni, Luna, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola and Lisa. Ford asks about Luan and Larke states that Troy and her know that she wasn't taken away to Child Protection Services as she got away somehow. Ford recalls maybe her boyfriend is keeping her safe as Lincoln told him about his sister's love interests.

Agent Bishop, Mr.X, Betty, Master Chief and Arbiter get The Bad Guys, Deathstroke, Ford, Nolan, Bruce and Larke and tell them that the ship is ready and that are ready for take off.

Ford, Bruce and Larke think should they have gotten Troy to keep an eye on Sid too. Bruce states that Sid is proably safer than the other two and that if they cant find her, then Homelander won't.

Chapter 2

Bruce Wayne, Ford, Larke, Nolan, Mr.Wolf, Mr.Shark and Webs are all keeping a track on what just happened. Ford has been in contact with Luz in his exile and learns that people are out to find the Team Free Will team and are keeping them in lock down or whatever thanks to Vought as Bruce has been investigating and found Vought had a hand in this and he kept track of the news learning that Sid was almost attacked but saved.

Master Chief and The Arbiter see Virtum ahead and infrom the crew that they are landing which Nolan decides to get take the lead and that he will communicate with the Virtumites. As everyone gets off their shop. Nolan takes the lead with Ford and Deathstroke right behind them and the crew apart from The Bad Guys, Bruce, Larke and Betty are all on their way to do.

Nolan and Ford request a meeting with the Virtumies as the embassors of Virtum and Humanity. Most of the other role their eyes at this, Deathstroke states it's egotistic but they will need the help of other Virtums

Nolan, Ford, Deathstroke and Agent Bishop take center stage and they manage to get a lot of Nolan's race present with Kamela's help in getting everyone attention as she is aware they will need a way to get their help.

Ford, Deathstroke and Bishop all admit that some alien race should unite with humanity to stand against more hostile alien life and while they are loyal to Virtum, they shouldn't be indoctrinated into conquering. Ford even make some scared when he said he has been able to go toe to toe with Nolan and beat him, so it may be wise to keep that into consideration.

When questioned, Nolan admits that having a son and a wife has indeed changed him and rekindling with a old friend also helped. Ford tells Nolan that they are still working but it's helping.

Ford, Nolan, Agent Bishop and Deathstroke are found and they managed to talk at least a good deal of the Virtumites to work with them, but some are still willing to help Thragg. This is when Bruce, Larke, Betty and Crpyto arrive fighting off Irkens. Ford and Nolan realize Thragg has had eyes on the situation and Deathstroke, Ford and Nolan  prepare to deal with Thragg

Ford, Nolan, Bruce, Kamela, Larke, Deathstroke, Agent Bishop, Betty and Crpto arrive with the ship with the Virutmites all at war, those following Nolan and others following Thragg. So they can prepare a new plan to resuce Mr.Snake, Mr.Pirhana and Mr.Shark. Mr.X has Maximus brought to a cell so he can inttergorate him about the info and how to ultimately get the crew back.

Everyone goes after Dregg, The Almightly Tallest and the Virtumites. Ford puts on a space helmet and gets his stuff to fight Thragg and Nolan is ready to fight the alien.

Nolan and Ford ambush Thragg and the two fight against him, despite being outnumbrered. Thragg is very much able to fend off both though Nolan is strong enough to hurt him and Ford's weaponry is capable of hurting Thragg. Thragg is very willing to use his full powers on them and manages to pulverize both of them, all the while fighing off Ford's  use of the plant that Virtumites are weak to and Nolan attempts to save Ford from him. Thragg threatens to take everything away from Nolan and will start with his weak friend. Ford does at least allow the two to escape with a play of his own abeit badingly injured

Bruce, Deathstroke and Larke overlook Ford and Nolan recovering from that battle with Thragg, Deathstroke feels that it may take something more and that these other guys are at least a good start to helping them out. Larke is instant that her boss should acquire his detective to find out more about them. Deathstroke says that is what his plan is as one of his closest friends did believe in Irkens invading earth. Nolan states he'll be fine and to let him keep going despite Larke and Bruce's protests, Ford agrees with them and tells him they'll need some rest.

Chapter 3

Ford and Nolan are busy recovering from Thragg's attack on them and Deathstroke is watching them recover. He advises them that Thragg could have killed them right then and there. Ford states he needed to test Thragg compared to Nolan. Deathstroke does point out that he should have realizied that Thragg is more powerful than Nolan was

Ford questions Nolan on this and Nolan explains that Thragg was unique even among them Thragg is the strongest Viltrumite in the entire series, trained from birth to be the strongest of all. He's so strong he can fight several Rognarrs by himself and win without trouble. To explain, Rognarrs are one of the few creatures in the universe that can injure and kill Viltrumites. Thragg is the key reason why the Viltrumites are the way that they are, and doesn't take well to losing his position of power.

Ford calls in Master Chief, Arbiter, Cyrpto, Rocket Raccoon, Agent X and Kamela, he gives them all a mission. Ford implores them to go after another potential alien group, that he has been checking up from his bed

Deathstroke isn't pleased that Ford is burning his energy and tells him to take it easy. Agent X agrees with Deathstroke as does Kamela.

Master Chief asks about the target, Ford states that this is about the Space Pirates and that he suspects that whatever alien life they encounter, they could be in an connection with it.

Rocket requests to get a resistance ready, Ford and Nolan implore him to wait.

Ford and Nolan are a little more able to move and they recongize that Deathstroke and the others set up two instances of going after pirates and alien life forms. Nolan and Ford are informed by Deathstroke that while he has lowered their defenses, they need to make the right moves as possible. He himself is here to keep an eye on Maximus while Ford and Nolan personally question this.

Deathstroke tells the two, he has the Crimson Paw on this on back on the Earth, digging any info on the cat if possible. Deathstroke admits then he can bargain info with Maximus if possible, Agent Bishop and Mr.X can even make sure this goes accordingly if he needs to.

Ford and Nolan both get up and they notice something and it's the Virutmies and it turns out plenty of them followed the duo. Nolan is happy to see that his people are willing to follow him as they he has a claim at the throne.

Ford asks Nolan if this was why Nolan needed him. Nolan said he wanted the throne but wanted to lead his people into an new age, and recongized Ford as worthy to help. Ford inquires Nolan about the past and who attempted to blackmail him.

Nolan takes a deep breath and tells Ford that The Smoking Man was trying to blackmail him and was purusing alien invasions hence why the Gems were used. The Smoking Man also unleashed that monster to go after Lincoln as a result of the kid knowing too much. Ford asks how was CSM able to do so. Nolan states he saw the worst in humanity in The Smoking Man in him and admits that Lydia;s identify was revealed by CSM, but he was also blackmailed by a guy with time empahsis

Ford questions Nolan on the latter, and Nolan tells Ford he never learned his name.

Deathstroke, Ford and Nolan watch as the other Virumites are pushing them into space as the gas is running out. Deathstroke gets two texts from Crimson Paw and Agent Bishop, and he observes them

Deathstroke finds out from Agent Bishop and Crimson Paw that The Conpsiracy on earth and space is being masterminded by The Cigarette Smoking Man. He informs Ford and Nolan about this

Ford and Omni Man both don't even look even suprised though it's no concidence to Omni Man that The Cigarette Smoking Man is behind thisFord is quick to observe that The Smoking Man is clearly trying to smoke out Lydia potentially and that he is thankful the agents are on this to keep her safe.

Nolan apologizes to Ford and explains that they may have to fend for themselves, despite being his team. Ford wants to keep his team safe, Nolan doesn't blame him but advices that they must leave as little a trail as possible.

Omni Man and Ford both manage to get to this ship with the help of the Virtumites loyal To Nolan. Ford sends out a message to both groups to get back here as they have another ship ready as they must safrice their old one as they have no more fuel and Thragg is here.

Deathstroke, Ford, Nolan, Mr.Wolf and The Bad Guys, Agent Bishop and Mr.X all end up discussing that they know The Smoking Man was the one behind all this, the alien invasions and most of what they dealt with last time. However Mr.X tells them about The Martians that invaded them and that it seems they were on CSM's orders to hunt and kill a white haired boy and a red headed girl for something they did a while ago. Ford instantly realizes that Lydia and Lincoln were who The Martians were hunting and asks how that even happened, Bishop tells Ford that the two got into the crosshairs of Mulder and Scully due to their Demogrgon hunt they did in Dreamland a while back when M.A.L.I.C.E was up to no good.

Ford feels frustrated that once again Lincoln and Lydia snuck off on their own thing without informing them, Deathstroke and The Bad Guys ask Ford of this. Ford mentions that this happened last time with The Unowns and their threat, he didn't intend to have them involved but somehow his codec reached them and they went after The Unown King and his Unowns. He admits he gave Lydia more freedom and stuck to it, but he does worry still at times the dangers she puts herself in at times. Snake implies Lincoln is why, Ford turns this down saying it's the opposite and it's proably how they like spending time together, he gets they're best friends and that's not why he's stressed. Ford is really stressed because they're kids and for how smart and sane they are, are they really that equipped to deal with things on their own as much as they think.

Chapter 4

Ford, Bruce and Larke are all in contact with Mulder and Scully about what has happened with them in regards to the holidays. He asks about Lydia and Lincoln and is informed that they're fine and finds it remarkable that they havn't gone nuts

Upon hearing of the Head Crabs attacking THe other Xs, Ford thinks on how to potentially remove them, He is not familiar with them but will figure something out.

Ford and Larke find out about the Demogrgons and Chronton Detonators and Ford feels that time is the essence, and suspects that is what The Smoking Man may want to have happen. He does't receive any parituclar detail though as Mulder and Scully didn't have any.

Ford, Nolan and Larke all use what they heard and try to use out to figure out what Operation Countdown is truly on. Though Larke offers to help in that regard which the former two agree to. Upon hearing that Tazmarian is where they're heading next. Nolan tells him about the Tazmarians and their race in regards to what he knows on them. Ford feels like he has seen one, before and this is confirmed as Nolan shows Ford notes. Ford confirms this and states that he knows the ruler, Starfire who is married to a robot. Nolan comments on the absurdity, Ford tells Nolan not to think too much on this.

Ford then suspects that Bender is on the case himself with Deathstroke as a contact, and thinks on what he knows about The Smoking Man.

Putting this thought aside, he and the others land on Tazmarian and follow Deathstroke and the others's lead. Upon meeting other Tazmarians, Ford learns Starfire is indeed absent from Tazmarian and with those other kids, so he decides on attempting to get a warning out to them and asks Betty to do so as it will look more natural.

Before Betty can do, Blackfire makes her move and destorys the phone, alongside Thragg, Maximus and Dregg arrive to take them away. Ford, Nolan and Deathstroke all decide to take on Thragg due to the former two's intense dislike of Thragg.

Ford, Nolan and Deathstroke once again all decide to fight Thragg, Thragg is amused as he beat them before and thinks it's foolish for them. Nolan and Ford both say that it don't matter they will do what it takes and they proved he wasn't invicible.

Nolan and Thragg go head to head with each other and Ford and Deathstroke both equip their weapons intend to kill the Virtum. Thragg finds this funny and attacks the two himself which leads Nolan to jump in and save them.

Deathstroke shoots him in the neck, though it no sells and Thragg slams Deathstroke to the ground which Ford takes the opporunity to shoot a raygun at his chest causing to reel back.

Nolan holds him allowing Ford and Deathstroke to continue with their wall on him. Thragg decides to just stop fooling around and uses his powers to beat Nolan down savagely and he doesn't hold off as Nolan to him betrayed the race. Ford and Deathstroke both go to save Nolan which Thragg just swings them away. Ford in time saves Thragg from killing Nolan and hits him in his head with the ray gun.

Thragg and Blackfire both flee as now Omni Man is beyond injured and unable to help the Virtums.

As everyone else follows suit with the others, Ford has Omni Man back at the ship treating his injuries. Nolan discusses with Ford that no matter how much they try, they can't really stop Thragg, but there must be some way. Ford tells Nolan that depserate times call for desprate measures.

Ford realizes that that he hasn't checked up on Sid unlike the others, so he decides to do just that. Nolan asks about turning to the robot, Deathstroke has as his agent to maybe give some potential help on Thragg. Ford while heistant, decides to ask Deathstroke to contact him on this.

Chapter 5

Ford thinks on The head Crabs, he was told about by Mulder and Scully and implores Bruce and Larke to help him investigate what is known about them. Upon realizing their true danger, and What is happening to Truman's family this becomes a concern for him.

He goes looking for Mr.Wolf and the Bad Guys and asks them to help in finding Mulder and Scully so they can warn the agents of what they found. Before hand, A Capsule arrives on the intents of The Sales Guy and this attacks him, Larke and Bruce. Ford without fear deals with it with the others and Bruce decides to cook it.

He checks up with Nolan, who has informed him that he has his loyalists prepare to defend the planet so they can finish up their recruitment as he overhead from Betty and Deathstroke. Ford and Nolan both try to figure who else is Betty going to recruit. But Ford wonders when Thragg is going to make his move.

Lydia asks about Luz and Anne states that she is hanging with Sid in the Boiling Isles which Sid decided to stay for the time being. Ford infroms her that Mulder and Scully are trying their darnest to allow the Loud and Lopez Families to reclaim their kids due to protective services taking them away. Truman states that they got rid of the man who caused the Loud Family collapse

Lydia goes to see Ford and tells him about what she saw a long time ago and that it looked like a D&D situation tney encountered before. Ford states he knows, he saw The Mind Flayer and knows the man who co-operating with it telling her it was The Smoking Man. Mulder and Scully told Ford and The Xs about it, Lydia is aware of this as unknown to them, she and Lincoln both went after him in secret.

As soon as Lincoln, Lydia, Jauna and Hilda arrive to them. Ford tells them that about time they showed up and he reveals that he and the others had their own encounter with some of the bad guys that went after them. Lincoln asks who and Ford states he is not knowledgable on that

Lincoln, Lydia and Ford don't seem too eager to once again deal with Toffee's connections. Ronnie Anne tells the three that Toffee and Belos opposed each other and that Odalia and Alador did work with both of them and Toffee used the two to spy on Belos. Cricket goes on saying Alador turned on Odalia and helped them.

Ford, Anne, Lincoln and Lydia ask Cricket about this, Cricket states that he, Marcy and Ronnie Anne worked with Marcy's other friends as did Eda with a costumed super villainness and a mob.

As Ford explains everything to Lincoln, Lydia, Jauna, Hilda, Anne, Crowley, Cricket, Ronnie Anne and Larke. Truman shows up asking for Lincoln and Lydia which they come along.

Hilda asks what does Truman want with them, Truman states a personal matter between them. Ford decides he needs to get Sid, Luz and Eclpisa to see what is exactly going on and decides he needs to get in contact with them. Jaune and Ford decide to get a communcation to learn if they know anything.

Ford, Larke and Jauna manage to get a communication and they see Sid, Deathstroke and Kamela who the latter two managed to find. Jauna and other members of Team Free Will question who Kamela is and Ford and Larke tell them that she is Ms.Marvel someone who helped them, Bruce and Omni Man deal with an alien attack and the conspirator CSM.

Larke notices Sid hasn't been talking and asks what's up. Sid mentions to Larke that it's not the only threat, and that Mina has returned and tried to kill her with allies and she knows Mina isn't the head of the opeartion she was operatig under another's orders. Larke asks who and Sid states Belos according to Luz and the Boilng Isles Residents, Marcy Wu and Lisa

Ford stops and asks if it's "the" Emperor Belos, which Sid confirms. The others ask if Ford knows Belos with Anne sarcastically menitoning if this is yet another person he used to be close too. Ford states he was not friends with Belos like he was with Bill Cipher, and Nolan Greyson. But this guy he knew before he was Belos. Larke, Ronnie Anne Crowley, Anne, Jauna, Deathstroke and Kamela wonder who he was, Ford reveals he was Phillip Watermore a witch hunter who he meet when stranded for those 30 years and knew something was off about him.

Ford states that he will tell what he knows about Phillip when he remembers but that they all have to go after this empire Belos established. Sid states that they will have to do this separate as Eclipsa doesn't want any trouble becoming apparent

Chapter 1

Ford decides that Angus may be a good idea to get in the fold, Jauna questions on this idea and Ford explains, that Angus is someone who may know what's going on. Ford admits maybe not but it could work, Though Scully and Mulder told him and the others that someone will be able to help them

Lincoln, Lydia, Ford, Hilda, Anne, Cricket Green, Crowley, Jaune, Larke, Ronnie Anne, Truman all arrive in Loch Loud. Lincoln, Lydia, Ford, Anne, Cricket and Crowley indeed notice just how much it has changed  for the better. Ford and Crowley both state it's looks even better than it did when they left as Lincoln, Lydia, Anne and Cricket all take the observation.

As Ford and Lydia watch, Ford explains that he helped Angus improve the area as did Crowley as they did assist him in becoming an even better duke. Lydia questions how that was possible when Angus already was a universally beloved duke. Ford states, that he helped Angus with advice as did Eda and Crowley. Jaune asks what exactly do they do other than advice, Ford explains that they build stuff too as did Eda.

Ford leads the others to Angus who was waiting for Ford and Angus goes to see the others and Angus is happy to see Ford, Anne, Cricket and Crowley once more. He goes so far to hug Lincoln and Lydia who he is spefically happy to see and they are happy to see him.

Larke watchs knowingly like she is aware of something.

Angus tells them that he got their message from Ford and Jauna and that they're not the only visitors here. Angus states that some friends of Anne has arrived too

Truman, Larke, Lydia, Lincoln, Crowley, Ford, Jauna and Hilda all follow Angus as Angus explains that he was getting the place ready for them after they all saved Loch Loud before and they needed to welcomed back as heroes. Ford states Jauna, Hilda, Truman and Larke are on their first time so they havn't meet the people. Agnus tells Ford it doesn't matter if this is their first time or not, those 4 are part of Ford, Lydia and Lincoln's team and if they thought of so highly and are part of the team like their family then they are just as much heroes. As he explains that Cricket and Ronnie already have credit for helping Marcy and the Robot.

Jauna begins taking photos on his phone to show Joanna when they get home, Ford and Jauna have a talk and Jauna tells Ford that he has something going on with Joanna and worried about his recent development with Joanna. Ford is not one for this but does listen to him and state he doesn't what to say, Jauna worries for Hilda and how she reacted and as well as Hilda already is  being a bit unstable in regards to someone  here. Jauna explains Lincoln and Hilda to Ford and explains their history with the two meeting, going out for a week and more what the two did in Trolberg. Ford and Jauna theorize what Lydia and Hilda are both doing when it comes to Lincoln and the latter knows Joanna wants him to keep an eye on her

They take their mind off this and decide to have Jaune help Ford in leadership as a way to help him as it could be essential.

Ford isn't so sure himself and asks Sasha and Grime about said time in Loch Loud upon hearing about them being here. Sasha explains to Ford that she came here with Marcy and her wacky group of friends including Cricket and Ronnie Anne defending it from The Prankster and that Odalia Blight and Chip Whistler were working with the Prankster and the two tried to kill them when they refused to help

Ford advises a close eye on the two, though he does consider that there is truth. Jauna, Ford and Angus all basically put an agreeance on this.

Ford and Grime decide to take the same room, With Ford deciding to head to the hall to look up if Loch Loud has any knowledge on Belos. Grime advises to just ask him as he was told stuff on Belos by Odalia and Alador. Ford heads there anyway but does ask Grime on the way. The Toad replies that what he does know is that Belos was one of those crazy zealots who looked the opposite way of Toffee. Ford theorizes Belos is pro human and monster/witch hater while Toffee is pro monster and a racist against human or Mewmans. Grime states Toffee was't racist against Humans but he did hate Mewmans but state that they have opposites stances on magic. Ford understands this point as he remembered that from his travels. Grime asks if Belos is personal for Ford, like Bill was, Ford doesn't deny or confirm this.

Ford, Grime, Jauna, Truman, Deathstroke,Larke and Sasha are all on the hand doing research on the subjects at hand as they try to find more stuff on Belos. Ford is really slamming the books hard despite Grime and Jauna's warnings.

Grime and Jauna both continue looking other details which lead into the Flayer as Ford did look into The mind Flayer. Ford then falls asleep as a result.

Ford hears Belos and Ford calls him Phillip, which Belos is glad to hear some hear his name. Ford asks what Belos wants, Belos explains that it's been a long while since Ford has seen him in his travels. Belos believes Ford is wasting his genius on defending these people and these creatures he dubs as withces, Belos states Ford was searching for answers and found Bill Cipher just like he found the Collector to help him. They are the same as Belos puts it and yet Ford can be his side and help him with the Day of UNity. Ford states he has had Bill Cipher and Omni Man both try to win him over  and that Belos won't. Belos stubborn tells Ford to hand him the Chang Girl and he'll save Ford, Ford asks what he wants with Sid. Belos wants Sid gone due to the threat she poses to him

Ford refuses to hand Sid to Belos, Belos then reminds Ford that he needs to look into his kid as she is hiding something from him from what he has heard.

Ford wakes up and tells Jauna, Grime, Sasha, Truman, Lakre and Deathstroke that Belos is coming and he wants Sid. Deathstroke admits he knows that but he doesn't know why. Larke and Truman feel Belos is aware, and that Ford says Lydia may know something as well that she is hiding from everyone that Belos heard. Ford suspects Belos is mapituplating him and Larke does believe this to do an extent as does Truman that Belos may really know something

Ford and Jauna though both agree that they need to go after Belos and wait with Deathstroke getting a contact to Gus and Mike so they can set a plan

Ford, Anne, Hilda, Jaune, Crowley, Cricket, Larke, Truman, Ronnie Anne, Sasha, Grime and Angus all seem to seen as they are busy trying to get rid of all them as they are crowded. With Kamela sucking up ghosts in a vacumm, Ford gets his own ghost busters like device with Jauna and Angus and sucks up the ghosts suspecting that they were used by The Chairman who Scratch knew about.   

Lincoln, Lydia, Kamela, Grime, Ford, Jauna, Crowley and Truman all still decide to go after them and the ghosts of The Chairman. Ford and Lincoln decide to put a target on Dagmar's sibling as Dagmar, Odalia, Erik and Bianca being there as well.

While Anne, Hilda, Cricket, Ronnie Anne and Angus have their own suspcions with the latter two realizing that they have to find Leia as the dragon could be in danger as Mike, Deathstroke and Gus radio them and reveal that Belos is after magic and that they have been scoping them. Ford notices too and decides to pursue it leaving Jauna in charge.

Ford, Ronnie Anne, Angus, Hilda, Anne and Cricket all head to the dragon's nest and with Mike's help they manage to get to the nest as Mike snipes off and distracts Belos's cult. The crew are all in disbelief apart from Ford and Angus about a such an old guy can be this efficent.

They are found by Tezkel Kan, Rainbird and The Blot who arrive with Emperor Belos. Ford and Belos confront each other about the matter and Ford decides to fight Belos while Anne and Hilda go to fight off Tezkel, Rainbird and The Blot while Angus, Ronnie Anne and Cricket try to sneak Leia out respectfully.

Belos is throwing Ford around right a rag doll and This is when Cricket, Ronnie Anne and Angus try to get to Leia almost sucessfully they are stopped by The Blot and Emperor Belos who Belos kills to heal himself like a tailsman while The Blot finds the dragon stone, and every magical item that was stored away in the depts of Loch Loud and siphens it away with a mechanical Gauntlet as Angus, Cricket and Ronnie Anne are helpless to watch

The rest of the team arrive back and see the deceased dragon and the spihoned magic items.

Ford asks Lincoln and Lydia what are they holding from them. Mulder, Scully and Kamela nod to the two as does Truman.

Lincoln and Lydia tell the others what they found on The Mind Flayer and reveal everything apart from the fact that they visited Victor Creel and his family. Ford as well as Jauna and Grime and Sasha feel it may be important to try to get the info towards Marcy and Sid. Angus keeps them reminded that they had a ghost attack as a distraction, he figured it came from Haunted Island at the work of The Chairman.

Ford, Jaune, Anne, Sasha and Grime ponder to themselves what was Belos trying to accomplish as Ford felt why that the dragon might have been a tailsman like what Luz told them. Anne disagrees stating that it didn't from The Boiling Isles. Sasha finds herself agreeing with this and felt like the dragon was a threat to him. Grime and Jauna meanwhile observe the drained magic arifacts and figure what The Blot managed to do when it came to them.

Ford and Hilda both find Lincoln and Lydis while advising them that they will be heading to Haunted Island next in the morning and that the crew will be ready. Lincoln and Lydia are told by Ford to get some sleep as they will need to be ready and not to sneak out. Hilda asks if they always do it, Ford states at least 5 times, it's like a thing for them to do referring to the Boat sailing to Loch Loud, The Unown situation, Dealing with that creature in Dreamland, Going back to Royal Woods and this is the 5th time. Ford takes solice in that at least Fox and Dana are helping him with this.

Chapter 2

As everyone is setting sail to Haunted Island, Angus informs them that he will do what he can and they'll be touch. Sasha and Grime question what exactly is going to Haunted Island going to solve. Ford feels that as he explains that Angus, him and Jauna all discussed things and that they came to an conclusion that they're attempting to follow what Emperor Belos is doing as the three were able to figure out he's leaving a trail.

Grime implores on trail, Ford knows one about Belos as he explains and it's that he's a long term planner and clearly is untiing witches on his rule for the most part, and can recongize he has no love of them

Ford recongizes this too, associating with a boogie man who mutually decided to torture The Owl House kids, but he is skeptical still, comparing their attack to A Freddy Kruger Attack. Anne tells Ford that the attack was real and Luz showed them. Ford and Jauna attempt to look into an connection as does Larke as they feel that there is a further connection then just them knowing.

Larke tells the duo that whatever was menacing them earlier has returned despite their defeat of it. Ford and Jauna both gasp at The Mind Flayer, Larke states exactly but it may be not be  it, but a 5 star general of The Mind Flayer serving it, this is what She and Truman fought about

Ford inquires Truman about what he suspects. Truman suspects it had something to do with that demogrgon that attacked Hilda and Lincoln which Lydia stopped. Jauna agrees with Truman, and asks about Lincoln and Lydia. Truman states the two have not snuck off, they're keeping eyes on them. Jauna, Ford and Truman get to thinking and get an idea, once they finish off their Haunted Island expodition they'll inquire some that is tormenting the three respectfully. Ford even adresses he will get his stuff to go see what's in there.

Lincoln and Lydia show Ford the D&D game and state their theory as Anne, Crowley and Cricket are there too. Ford agrees to this idea and thinks that it's very likely if the Mind Flayer and Demogorgons are real then who's to say Vecna is. Crowley shares this view too but inquires about the former two which Ford, Lincoln, Lydia and Anne tell him about their dealing with The Upside DownT

Ford, Crowley and Anne note that it's all about teens like it's from a Nightmare on Elm Street movie as Lincoln and Lydia half truthly say.

Ford, Crowley and Grime all wake up in a spot atfer Grungle and Jinx attacked them, the three  realize that they were just hurt and not affected by it. Crowley realizes Rowena is on here too with the other witches and that Belos had the ghost council ambush them and release Respac. Ford questions that name, Crowley tells Ford of his encounter with the ghost. Grime tries to get Ford and Crowley's attention as Crowley goes on about what Linka, Him, Lydia, Lincoln and others did on Haunted Island the first time. Ford compares it to an Evil Casper using the fact the name Respac is Casper backwards.

Grime finally gets their attention and shows them that Cricket, Ronnie Anne, Anne, Sasha and Truman were all turned into monsters by Mrs.Grungle's magic and put in cages. Larke was hit too, but was unaffected as Jaune comments. Ford and Crowley both wonder why they're weren't affected, Crowely jokes Larke's attractiveness is why she was immune, Larke is questioning this and tells him she doesn't need his apprasisal lookwise. Crowley states he was merering making an observation.

Grime then questions Jauna why wasn't he affected, Jauna tells Grime, Ford and Larke that he has his own ways. Ford and Larke take this at face value with Grime basically being more in disblief that Jaune had some immuity.

The others are still capable of talk and tell Ford to save them. Ford quesitons about  Hilda, Lincoln and Lydia as he doesn't see them. Sasha has an answer as she saw something, she saw some kind of bat save them, Grime quesitons this so called bat and how it could hold 3 kids which Ford also agrees with. Sasha tells the two  not to question what she saw.

Cricket just states that they go ask Angus or something which Crowley, Ford, Grime, Jauna and Larke take him up.  

Ford, Crowley, Grime, Jauna and Larke consort Angus and tell them of what happened. Angus informs the 5 he was aware of Mrs.Grungle and that she is the ruler of the island and that Respac was the keeper, he has heard of what happened to the others before.

Grime and Larke are baffled this even happened before, Angus recalls the incident that happened decades ago with a bunch of school kids gone missing, never to be heard again. It was revealed that Grungle used her magic to turn them into monsters. Jauna questions Angus if there is a way to cure them, Angus feels there is a way to do so and it was discovered. Ford asks him and Angus answers the fortune teller, they need to see the fortune teller who will help them.

Larke agrees immediatly to save her younger friends as it will be necessary. Angus notes Lydia, Hilda and Lincoln aren't there with them or the others. Larke tells Angus that a purple bat according to Sasha saved them.

Grime and Crowley both feel Jauna is nuts to go looking for the others though, Ford trusts his judgement and wishes him good luck. Ford explains to them that he is doing what he'd do, and that unlike him he has a lover in Hilda's mom, who went after Hilda after she snuck out. Crowley admits he knew Hilda could be a handful and likes it. Ford states that for all the trouble Hilda caused her mom, she meet Jauna that way and did lessen her punishment.

Grime compares Joanna to Ford in that both of them aren't exactly fond of their kids sneaking out. Ford admits he and Hilda's folks aren't that different hence why he likes them and even kept them safe during the whole alien thing with Larke and Bruce's help

Larke tells Ford that it was thankful that the connections weren't made to Hilda and her folks. Angus informs Larke that he had the others informed and that they are searching for that egg for the country, He also tells them that he will send a map to make things easier.

Ford, Grime, Larke and Crowley visit the fortune teller and learn that they must complete the constant challenges to restore their friends back to their normal  states. She marks their map with what they need to do and what challenges that the 4 will need to complete. Ford agrees and gives the three their assignments, but they will not split up as he has seen enough Scooby Doo to know it's a bad an idea.

Grime and Ford both state that they must avoid the labyrinth as much as possible, Ford feels they will eventualy be placed there at some points but if they can mimnize at, then they may be safe.

Ford, Larke, Grime and Crowley look at map and see the Spider Web to spell words, The Toad Well to feed bind toads. The Clock Tower to help a hunchback play songs on a clock tower organ,  a cemetery to complete inscriptions, they must uncover mummies by matching tablets, guide vampires to coffins and avoiding ghosts, lead pirates to treasures, measure ingredients to make potions to restore frog princes, experiment with setting in a greenhouse in a mutant swamp

Scully enters and asks what the two are doing, Ford states they're playing Dungeons and Dragons but for research and fun purposes.

Ford states that Mulder and her both went to Hawkins where they discovered the creatures and with The Soviet one emerging it could help. Ford states that is one reason he's looking into this to see who is the villain of D&D as he suspects that could be behind all this

Ford talks to Lydia and tells her that he only worries because he won't be around forever and knows she is constantly sneaking off with Lincoln without anyone knowing and Ford isn't angry he just doesn't want to see Lydia get herself hurt or in trouble in a way he can't solve. Ford admits Mulder is more open about this than him, but he just wants to Lydia not to care careless and try to handle things with only Lincoln. Lydia sheepishly admits she isn't doing this on purpose, she just finds the trouble and Lincoln and her both usually if not always like to do it together as they like making memories for themselves .

Ford hears a knock at the door and finds out it's Dawn who came on her bike. Ford is curious to why Dawn is here and what she's for. Dawn notes he is doing his documents and asks is it a bad time. Ford tells Dawn that it isn't and does she have news for him?

Dawn does and she tells him of the demises of May, Doc Brown and multiple other members telling them that someone killed nearly everyone who was part of the old Team Free Will Team. Ford asks how Dawn knows this, She answers that someone told her about it a bit ago and Dawn herself volunteered to tell Ford about this. Ford feels regret like his own desire to devote himself to his work may stopped him from doing anything about it. Dawn tells Ford it isn't his fault as no one really knows who. Ford feels that he has to owe something to the others he still pals with and decides on taking a vacation of some sort and he already has an idea where to go. He tells Dawn he is going to go to Great Lake City to make some plans. Dawn asked what will Ronnie Anne and Sid have to do with this, Ford says if anyone has an idea it's The Casagrandes.

At Great Lakes City, Ford arrives at the apartment complex where Ronnie Anne and Sid live and goes to the Casagrande building.

When Ford asked what they were doing, Eclipsa and Sid were both at the zoo helping out the latter's parents with the most recent show. Ford explains to Sid and Eclipsa why he wants to do this as Ronnie Anne is getting permission to accompany Ford.

Sid asks Ford where are they going to get the others for this whole idea and Ford explains that they will pick up the others over time and head to Royal Woods where Lincoln, Lydia, Clyde and Truman all live and get them in on it. Sid is curious if Ford is doing this to get a road trip with his protege before he's 92 or whatever age he is. Ford tells Sid he is not in his 90s, and why would she think that, with Eclpisa being the one to believe Ford is around that age he is in his 60s.

This is hard to hear as he says, but he has decided on a trip to a fun location and Eclipisa tells them that it was a trip to Mexico for all of them to go on too. Scratch sees this as an opporunity to enjoy Tacos but asks Ford if they go for another reason and whispers to him what he has in mind. Ford accepts this. Upon hearing of Lydia's own plans to go multiverse camping with Lincoln, Clyde and Truman, . Ford seems saddened by this as he wanted to have a great time with her. Clyde tells Ford that they can still have a time with him, as part of the tour goes to Mexico. Ford agrees to this, he does note Lincoln and Lydia have been quiet as does Sid and Ronnie Anne.

Late Ford enters Lydia's bed room and asks if she, him and Lincoln can all chat. Lydia agrees and Ford sits on the bed with the two and Ford explains that he is aware that what the two dealing is hard and it won't be easy to deal with. Lincoln says it's just a bit much to deal with in how they lost multiple friends despite being used to it.

Ford agrees and says that they have to be a better place of mind before hand, Ford extends he's willing to talk if they need to and when they are ready. He is just concerned that the two may not have much need so much since Lydia was adopted by Mulder and Scully. Lydia tells Ford that they may be legal guardians, but he is her mentor, the man who got her into all this and taught her about the vast multiverse they live in and that can't be taken away from him, and that she will need him in some respect.

The Next Day, Ford sees Anne show him the text Lydia sent her to tell him. Ford appreciates this and has the others get their stuff. Sid approaches Ford and asks if he talked to Lincoln and Lydia, Ford tells Sid he has and they were receptive. Ford then also tells Sid privately that she and Ronnie Anne were right, Lydia and Lincoln do know something, and that they already knew about  The Team Free Will Massacre before he did. Sid and Ford both try to figure why they didn't approach them about yet Dawn did know, with the latter realizing that for all their tendencies to discover things and sneak off, this was a case that was just too much for them to handle and clearly had no idea how to tell them this, Ford says that it's best to have them approach him on this as opposed to trying to get the truth out of him. Sid asks if Mulder and Scully knew and Ford doesn't believe this and if Sid should tell the others on their teammates knowing it as Ronnie Anne suspected something like this. Ford tells Sid that if Dawn knows that it's likely some of the other members do know too he just doesn't know who else. Scratch and Molly then arrive to see them asking about Ford's offer to help the former and Ford hasn't forget it.

Eclipsa and Ronnie Anne continue to keep the wheel going as they make their way.

Scratch whsipers to Ford and Sid and shows them what he intends to do and shows a picture of a soda can to them. Sid wonders what would a soda can have to do with, Ford deducts it has to do with something with Scratch if he holds this scared.

Meanwhile back at a hotel room, Ford and Scratch are busy discussing their own reasons for going down to Mexico. Anne and Sid both overhear it and spy on them respectfully. Scratch reveals Ford that he is a wraith something he has only revealed to Molly and Libby. Ford wants to study this, but Scratch tells him to focus on the details. He was able to remember his past life due to Surly Sid's Strawberry Soda which he can assess to his memories when he drinks. Ford  does his own research and learns of the drink's history. As Scratch makes his own recalls, he asks Ford why he is really here to Mexico other than vacation. Ford says it has to with his old team as well as Nolan who he watched give his life to Thragg and he is aware that it isn't great to keep motives from his team but it's actually for them

Ford and the others all manage to finally cross the border afterwards as Ford's GPS gets them there. Luz, Ronnie Anne and Eclipsa are among the more excitable of the team as they are looking foward to their time here with Ronnie Anne looking to have a not so tedious time here like she did previosuly.

Ford and Scratch are in their own discuisson where with Scratch being a wraith, Ford is doing his own research to find who he belongs to of the human essence, he does this wanting to help Scratch. Scratch just wants them to do this job, despite Ford insisting to have Molly help them too as she's his BFF. Scratch doesn't want to hurt Molly by bringing her into this, he only really trusts Ford with this. Ford checks his phone and notices how Lydia hasn't really texted as of late.

Ford, Luz and Anne all catch up with him go on him for trying to take some of the fire arms that are just lying on there. Cricket complains about this, though Ford points out he can't have the Green Kid running around with a loaded gun from mexican gangbangers. Luz takes some offense to this stereo type, Ford aplogizes as he didn't mean it that way. Anne joins them and asks Ford were they are going with this. Ford said he decided to stop at Casa Bonita, he learned it was under new ownership and wanted to take the others there.

After the others had their trip to Casa Bonita, They all check into the hotel had turn with Ford heading to bed to sleep with the others all following apart from Anne and Sid who couldn't really sleep end up looking around while talking over tea about their inability to sleep and what Ford and Scratch are up to.

Luz and Molly ask about Clyde, David and Truman and learnt at Troy and Larke are also around here as they havn't heard from either.

As the 4 hang up and are happy the two are doing just fine and that Lydia has explained a bit more to Ford about her own sense of feelings and other that, Ford knows she will soon be willing to explain if she owns anything particular troubleseome. This is when Sister Sage ambushes them and forces them to follow her and they notice they have been found by them notcing Anne being tended to by Scratch and Cricket as Sid and Eclipsa engaged against FireCracker and Black Noir II. Ford decides to ask who are they and they confirm they are the new Seven.

Anne, Luz, Ford, Sid and Eclpisa all engage and fight against them, as Ronnie Anne, Cricket, Molly and Scratch all decide to go after Sister Sage to find what she is plotting. The 5 manage to hold their ground well enough, though it doesn't seem as simple due to most of their lack famility with The Boys, though Sid manages to be more sucessful using her witch power to do. Eclpisa and Ford manage to get the jump on the two with a few scraps, but Black Noir II just files off with Fire Cracker who just decides to shoot at the 5 with her glock which does manage to hit Ford in the leg.

They ran into Bender, Anti Cosmo, Libby, Wile E and Jessie Wells who were all taking action against Vought who Libby, Slade, Bender and Anti Cosmo Investigated. Ford asks why did they want and Sid says it had to with Bender's friends looking up to Vought and Batman's death who Bender wanted to know more on as he was Dib's foster dad.

Ford wonders why would they want them dealt with if Vought is Slade, Bender and The Boys's problem. Sid explains that they placed a new more ethical guy in charge apart from science and whoever is the one calling the shots is targeting them too possibility due to affilation. Ford, Sid and Ronnie Anne all discuss their latest talk with Lincoln and Lydia as they saw Bruce and Selina. Ronnie Anne wonders if Bruce knows who looked into who massacred the team, Ford suspects he may be on to something, he is a investigator. He also mentions that Bruce may have looked into CSM and others since he did help him, Deathstroke and Omni Man.

Lisa explains to them about the actions of The Smoking Man did to her and how she ran away and tried to live with The Changs to avoid what he had in mind for the Louds. Ronnie Anne adds that Luan wasn't affected as she was with Her, Cricket and Bender who dealt with The Prankster, who had connections to the Cartel, Lincoln must have been put in true safety as she doesn't even know where he was.

Lisa goes on further to explain how Vought was near impossible to topple though they were able to do something to it and they placed Professor Membrane in charge in Vought, Ford remembers him as a colleague of his, and recalls how he was such a skeptic towards his discoveries. Sid asks how connected Ford is, Ford says quite connected.

However Ford does comment on how he did treat some gun shot wounds prior and he can do some sewing for Luz and Anne here. Caldera decides to accept this for a decent cost with Ford paying them. As he patches Anne and Luz with sewing up work, Ford notices how he used to have some connections to the under world. Caldera admits he was part of it, though he sold his black book and punched out for the most part though he is still a veterrian at the end. He does admit that he did work on a robot for his employers.

Caldera informs Ford how he was involved in the underworld, but he was more into trafficking material and connections which he did for Slade and later Bender. He admits Cartel business was too much for him and punched his clock out. Slade kept him on his payroll despite this as Slade was aware his allies may have pets and adopt them so his skills were still in use and Slade even kept his black book  filled with information of people in the criminal underworld written in cipher so he doesn't get tempted again.

Ford asks about Anne and Luz, Caldera infroms Ford to keep them rested for the night and afterwards to take it easy afterwards.

Ford admits he had no idea any of this despite his knowledge on the universe and thanks them for their time. Ford, Ronnie and Sid all ask upon themselves why did Lincoln and Lydia not tell them that they knew about this and how long have the two been doing things like this without them. Sid and Ronnie both defend the kids pointing out they had good reason, likely because of some horrible memories they blocked out due to the events putting some scars on them.

Lydia is one of the people Ford is closest to and Lydia is both Ford's apprentice and is like a daughter to her in her own right. Ford taught Lydia a lot about the multiverse and the supernatural and prepared for her his archenemy Bill Cipher realizing she will have to follow him to fight Bill.

Lydia fears not being a worthy protege to Ford as she wondered why Ford choose her, though this fear is remedied when Ford confirms he's proud of Lydia.
