## Synopsis

**HOVERING DOOM** — The Dark Lord looms over Nelson High, and The Group begin planning their next moves.

## Plot

The next day, school is temporarily canceled due to The Dark Lord hovering over the school, causing a disturbance. The Group however, still head to the school to try to take down The Dark Lord. Jennifer joins in, hoping to get revenge on The Dark Lord for Kaleb’s death. Katie uses her powers to build a station. She introduces The Group to “The Universe Guardians,” which consist of her, Bryson, Carson, Yasmin, Summer and Annalise. The Universe Guardians are overjoyed at the reveal of the purpose, and gain some of Katie’s powers. Katie then reveals, “There’s something I learned while in The Angel Graveyard. I‘m basically a god, meaning I’m the universe’s guardian angel. I’m the reason we haven’t died. I’m the reason the universe hasn’t been destroyed by Kathy, or Diana, or The Dark Lord, yet.” Bryson suggests, “Why not imprison The Dark Lord back in The Angel Graveyard?” Katie answers, “His power is too much now. After David and Kaleb’s deaths, he’s more powerful than before. There’s nothing to contain him. The only way now is to ‘God Box‘ him now.” Bryson asks, “How do we plan to do that?” “He’ll recreate the God Box, and when it’s time, we’ll simply destroy it, but someone will have to keep him in there to destroy him once and for all!” “You’re not suggesting that you do it, right?” “No! Absolutely not! I need to be alive to protect the universe. I will sadly need one of you guys to take him down.” Annalise volunteers to defeat him, which the rest don’t take nicely, and each one volunteers to take down The Dark Lord. Bryson then asks, “Wait! What about the Time Machine?” Katie ominously answers, “It was destroyed. The Angel Lord destroyed it because she knew it would be dangerous to use. It was! The Titanic! We lost two people we knew!” That night, The Group decided to spend the night at the school. Yasmin meets with Bryson and tells him, “I think it’s time to tell her.” Bryson agrees, and they both meet with Katie. Katie asks, “What’s happening?” Bryson then finally tells Katie about his affair with Yasmin. Katie simply looks at the two, and says, “I knew. It was kind of obvious. I’m not mad at the affair. I’m just mad you didn’t tell me sooner.” Bryson and Yasmin breathe a sigh of relief. “I know you two are going to the same college, and that’s fine. Bryson, it was fun being with you, but you and I both know that we tried to stay together, but The Dark Lord simply got in the way.” Bryson then suggests, “How about we stay together until graduation. Then, me and Yasmin can decide what we want to be, with your permission of course.” Katie agrees, and so does Yasmin. Sonia runs in the room, and also tries to tell Katie about the affair, but is disappointed when she learns Katie already knows.
