## Plot

**9pm March 18**

Mallory Jenkins has spent hours searching for Marcus after waking up in the hospital where he had been with Marcus, had witnessed Tibby heal his friend and himself fainted, to find Marcus missing. He sees them outside Lexi’s house and follows them as they go inside the compound of Synchroneity, searching the fence for a weakness he finds a familiar spot from Marcus and his childhood and gets inside. Avoiding security Mallory follows the tunnel his friends took to the elevator of the mine shaft, where the cars are parked. Sneaking closer he presses himself up to one of cars as Clarity’s bodyguard patrols the area.

**9:30PM**

In the mines beneath Synchroneity Marcus holds onto Clarity Prime as they hang off the edge of a large crevasse overlooking the beating heart of Phobos, held back from falling by Mickey and Tibby. Decades of memories pour into Marcus’ mind from Clarity; one in particular comes into focus. Inside the ship that crashed of a figure working over the machines, within the memory Clarity explains that this is the day that she saw her father turn the machine on. The ship changed him, though he believed it a gift from god, it wasn’t. She learned from the ships logs that a future version of him had built it, it had wanted to please him so it did as he asked. She sees in Marcus that he knows that things come with a cost, unlike her father, what sacrifice is and tells him to take all her memories entrusting him to take over. She warns him to “keep the sharks at bay,” showing him a memory of her kneeling on an island with footsteps in the sand leading into the ocean, and atop a hill the glowing rock of Harmonia resting upon it.

The rest of the memories painfully merge with Marcus, until everything fades to white, he feels his group loosen as Clarity whispers in his mind to let go and he does. She falls as the group watch the fleshy tendrils of the heart rip her to shreds, and an inhuman face rises shrieking from the dirt. The shrieks cause the whole cavern to shake and crumble around them, they pull Marcus back up, his eyes now completely white over and the group run toward the elevator. Locked by a passcode the memory of the code comes to Marcus and they pile in as the elevator rises and the mines collapse beneath them.

Back on the surface they are faced with Clarity’s bodyguard with a gun to the head of a captured Mallory, demanding to know where Clarity is. Billy says she’s dead and the bodyguard goes to pull the trigger, however Mickey uses her power and removes his ego. The body drops dead as the others look on in surprise. Mallory demands an explanation from the group but they agree to discuss this later once they are free, but as they head to the car a fleet of Synchroneity security arrive, blocking one of the exits of the tunnel and drawing their weapons.

Billy uses his power to make one of the guards believe he’s covered in spiders, but the guards to begin to panic and Skye uses her power to telekinetically hurl the cars into them. The remaining guards open fire. Mallory takes a bullet to allow Mickey to get to cover and is quickly healed by Tibby. Marcus is able to regain sight by using the memory of Clarity once having to do the same, and in this new vision he is able to see things as pathways of energy, of doorways between worlds. He reaches out to the energy of one of the security forces and with a power that isn’t his, turns them to a puddle of flesh. Marcus leans down to the body of Clarity’s bodyguard and tells it though she may be dead her memories are with him and Mickey sees as it to, is reduced to a puddle.

Tibby is shot through the neck trying to save Billy and having a near hit herself Skye uses her powers, this time controlling fire to burn the one that shot at her. Billy rushes to Tibby and tells him to heal himself, though Tibby is reluctant as it would mean killing himself in another universe. Mickey uses her power and propels the ego of the guard that shot at Tibby to another world. Marcus rallies the others to get into Clarity’s vehicle, Skye and Mallory grab Tibby and bring him with them. Marcus starts driving and with the help of Mallory manages to take out the final guard and they start driving toward the exit. Mallory and Billy overhearing reinforcements on their way over a radio attempt to mislead them as Tibby succeeds in bringing himself back.

With guards still coming Tibby tells Billy to use his powers before they arrive and he does so on a grand scale, leaving out his friends so they would remember. Billy makes everyone believe that Rachel died in a car crash in the 80’s, that the accident at Synchroneity never happened, himself no longer cool, complies with Skye’s wish that her parents no longer remember her and that everything is normal. They are able to drive out of Synchroneity without trouble and once back in the town pull over and talk. Mallory is fascinated by his friends having powers and Marcus realises he had placed his hand on Billy, unnoticed when he used his powers and gained Billy’s memories.

Skye has a sidebar with Mickey about the guards that just dropped dead and believes that Marcus was responsible, warning her to watch out for Marcus while he himself takes Mallory a side to speak as well. Mallory asks why he wasn’t around for him since his father’s death and Marcus lets out his frustration after dealing with trying to save the world and years of dealing with people looking down on him for hanging out and standing up for Mallory. Skye jumps in to call Marcus out and Tibby asks Mallory to come with him and Billy to help calm down the situation. Skye pulls Marcus aside and checks in with him, and he says that he is pushing Mallory away to protect him, and that he is worrying what the knowledge of all the memories are having on him, but he realises the only people who could help him is Synchroneity and with Clarity’s secrets he has a way in. He asks Skye to keep their friends safe and she agrees and tells him not to forget himself under the weight of the memories and what he has to do.

Tibby goads Mallory into insulting which he does and Skye attempts to turn over a new leaf tries to keep her cool until she starts counting down to head over and beat him up. Tibby and Mallory flee, Tibby calling out for Billy to follow while he asks what Mickey is going to do. She wants to track down her family in Portland but without a doorway to the Grotto like they took last time she may be stuck. But with Marcus’ new abilities he is able to open up a way into the Grotto which he makes wheelchair accessible, for the both of them as he “remembers” a doorway to Clarity’s office he wants to take. He passes two pieces of paper to Billy with TMNT2 on them for Tibby and Billy uses his powers to turn them into actual movie tickets, as Marcus and Mickey depart through the Grotto.

Marcus asks her about if he can call upon her later to help him keep Kollok safe if things get weird again which she agrees to as they start to notice the Grotto has changed, its faceless workers acting like a disruptive hive and the walls are crumbling,, revealing the cosmos behind the them They come across Scott again in the form of a blue orb, but he doesn’t recognise them and warns them that the loss of a “Templar” has made the Grotto unstable. He points them toward the doors they need and leaves Mickey and Marcus as they share a goodbye and she leaves through a door that takes her to her parents.

Her arrival surprises both of them; her mom deeply concerned for Mickey travelling on her own in her “condition.” Her dad admits that they are planning to get back together, her mom leaving her husband Richard and bringing Mickey’s sister Emily, to Kollok. Surprised at this Mickey brings up her dad’s drinking problem and their small apartment, but they wave away her worries and say that Emily can bunk with her, that it will be good to Emily as she’s reaching the age while having an older sister around could help.

Mickey’s Dad whispers that he wants Mickey to help him with his alcohol problem so he can be a better person for all of them. Mickey's mom brings up if Mickey has seen any other professionals that could help her with her legs, and voices the idea that they could check with the doctors in Portland, even move there instead of Kollok, but Mickey and her Dad disagree, it also being far too expensive for them. On the subject of money Mickey tells her dad about a job opening at the movie theater, something that could be good for both of them, an idea her mom loves as it would allow him to watch over her at work. Contemplating her new unexpected future with her family Mickey joins her parents for a meal.

**6pm March 22**

Skye and Bucket arrive at the bridge where Rachel vanished, both dressed in suits where they see Mickey’s wheelchair propped up at the top of the trail that leads below. They follow it down to where the others have gathered; Tibby carrying Mickey on his shoulders, Billy skipping stones and Marcus sat with a red and white cane. Bucket thanks Mickey for calling him and Skye, they wouldn’t wanted to have missed this. The Shoveler finishes digging a hole for them and leaves, telling them to leave the shovel once they are done. Bucket gives a eulogy before taking Rachel’s journal from Skye to place in the “grave,” but Tibby stops him as Mickey wished to add something as well.

Mickey hands him the hair scrunchy that Rachel gave her on the first day of work along with a letter, thanking her for her friendship and the memories they shared. Billy adds his geometry text book, though Bucket is insistent that he keep it until Billy tells them that he has straight A’s in Geometry, that even when she found out, Rachel would still come over and tutor him, knowing how he felt and being someone she could talk to. He adds his own letter in which he tells her how much she meant to him, and that even with her gone, he'll try to keep her alive in his memories.

Marcus adds to the pile several photos Rachel took and remarks that even though they dated he never realised how much support she gave him and everyone she loved. Remembering the times she would talk about her friends that now, thanks to knowing her and because of her actions he has made as well.  For Skye she offers her half of a “Best Friends” necklace, one of the first things Rachel gave her, along with being her first friend, and who put the weight of the world on her shoulders. Though she doesn’t hate her for it she was surprised over the lengths she went to because of Rachel so she could finish what she started and because of how she came to care so deeply for her friends. Skye plans to be a better person, not for Rachel but for herself and thanks her for the opportunity to do so.

The items placed into the grave, Bucket takes the shovel to pour over the first patch of dirt and passes it to each of them to do the same. Afterwards Tibby invites everyone to his and Mickey’s date to see Dreams by Kurosawa, a movie Rachel wanted to see, and also because he is afraid of Mickey’s dad since he started working there. Billy accidentally lets slip to Marcus that he and Tibby used the TMNT2 tickets to see it earlier, while Tibby also invites Mallory who waited above for them and they head off together.

Simultaneously on the east mountain above Crater Lake, The Traveller arrives in the body of Justin from Undecided, at the campsite of Clarence Anah, following the connection between them. He takes the flask offered by his son and ruminates how good it is to be back, free to return now that Clarity is dead and the plans he has in store.
