In **THE MORE THINGS CHANGE**, Milo, **Xiao**, **Raymond**, **Talula**, **Sarah**, and **Sapphire Blackwood** move into their new base, The Necro Brownstone in **Downtown, California** after being invited by Dexter. After a few days of hanging out and exploring Downtown, Dexter unveils a new annual event called The Combat Festival to introduce all of the heroes to each other. Expecting something hard, the group realizes it is different from what they expected, as the first challenge was a science fair. As Milo is not savvy in science, he and Raymond instead go to Hero's Hollow, where they learn about Keem and Turner (see ***Lover's Stadium: 358/2 Days***).

In **MODERN JAM**, part of the festival is a Battle of The Bands as Gorillaz has returned to challenge **Lovecraft Country** for the title they lost in Canada. Down a bassist and a guitarist, Milo and Xiao fill in for **Jade** and **Jasper**, with Xiao playing the guitar and Milo utilizing his Roland SP-404 MK. II. However, as Milo is gets ready, Murdoc steals his 404, making him being ill-equipped for the event day. However, feeling bad about what his bandmate did, Russell and 2-D buy Milo an AKAI MPC 2000XL for the show. Not used to the AKAI, Milo takes twenty minutes to do a crash course but suddenly gets the hang of it and helps Lovecraft Country win the battle. According to Russell, Milo was possessed by the spirit of J Dilla, to which Milo agreed.

In **MELTDOWN**, Milo is personally challenged to a race by Speed Racer, which sends the entire **Necro Crew** into a tailspin as Milo doesn't know how to drive. As the race came looming, Milo was offered a car by Pops Racer, either a DMC DeLorean or the Mach 4. Milo chooses the DeLorean and, on the race day, a late entry joins, Snake Oil. Now a four-person race, the race begins, and as they race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Milo quickly learns that Snake Oil is cheating by using a spear hook on Racer X. Helped by new friend, **Tone**, Milo shuts down Snake Oil and wins the race. However, at the end of the race, Milo follows a meteorite and discovers an unknown object called The Emberstone.

In **CIRCUS MAXIMUS**, Milo and the Necro Crew realize that this next challenge is what they thought the festival would be. Meeting in Hero's Hollow, Milo learns that this challenge is combat, where he and his friends will have to fight Johnny Cage, Chun-Li, Lui Kang, Ryu, and Ken in a team-based onslaught. The challenge is the first to knock someone out wins, and the fight begins early in the morning as the group attacks The Necro Brownstone while everyone is asleep. Milo faces off against Johnny Cage, but their combat session is more playful as Johnny gets Milo's jokes and Milo gets Johnny's love of movies. They stop their fight mid-way through and talk about the Alien franchise. However, The Necro Crew wins as Xiao knocks out Ryu by accidentally hitting him with a metal pipe.

In **TIL FURTHER NOTICE**, Milo attends the end of the festival in **Bravo Beach**, where DexLabs has set up fireworks and food. As everyone who participated in the festival shows up, Milo realizes that while this may not be his timeline, he could've ended up somewhere a lot worse. After a few hours, Milo sneaks away to stand by himself at the beach's edge to stare at the ocean. Xiao finds him and stands with him in silence. Raymond and Talula come shortly after that. Lastly, Sarah, Sapphire Blackwood, and Tone arrive, and the Necro Crew sits in pure silence, staring at the ocean. And it is here that Milo says that their lives will only get more complicated from here on out.
