## Episode summaries

### Episode 8

He then puts it in a small tank with two other axolotl's with an iron golem protecting them. Unbeknownst to him, Lizzie discovered this and kidnapped the heir of the throne to the Lost Kingdom in revenge.

### Episode 11

Joey arrives back to discover the Prince gone and Princess tells him that he was kidnapped by the 'Sea Witch'. Joey is furious upon discovering this, especially after the Princess has actually already been swapped for a fake. He declares war on the ocean empire and vows revenge.

### Episode 12

A few days later, Joey went to spy on the Ocean Empire to find out where she'd been hiding the Prince and discovered a huge cage Lizzie built, hanging from the now finished bridge. Joey attempted to spy on Lizzie with his spyglass, but Lizzie had already spotted him and spied back with her own spyglass. After realizing they were spying on each other at the same time, Lizzie flew down to confront him and the two argued from their boats. Eventually, they reached a conclusion where they'd go to a place in the desert where Lizzie would set up a final meeting to hand over Strawburry and the Tiger Blood Prince. Lizzie promises no trickery but Joey is very wary and decides to have a backup plan. Instead of heading to his empire, Joey headed to Mythland and when to where Sausage's assassin business was run, having used it before. He asks Sausage to assassinate Lizzie at the switch and Sausage agrees, for a price. Joey hands over the pay and Sausage says he can choose how he kills her for more money but after Sausage destroys something, he agrees to do it for free. Joey settles for Lizzie being sniped down from a distance and decides to have a codeword for when it happens - choosing 'Release The Trident!' Lizzie set up a complicated railway trading system in the desert near Pixandria where Joey would have to place Strawburry in a cart and Lizzie place the Prince in one and then each press a lever to switch the two. After exchanging words and threats the two agree to switch, they both press the levers and the two go to their subsequent owners. Seizing his chance, Joey yells his code word, suddenly, Lizzie is sniped down by a hidden Sausage, leaving her in confusion whilst Joey celebrates. Sausage then jumps in front of Joey and stabs him, but Joey set his spawn point at the switch and argues with Sausage whilst Lizzie travels back. Lizzie interrupts the two, demanding answers and MythicalSausage reveals that they both hired him to kill each other. Joey and Lizzie stand in awkward silence before laughing and realizing the oddity of the situation. The two come to an understanding of sorts before willingly handing over there own heads as a symbol of peace for the two to hang up on their walls. Joey then says he needs prismarine so they fly back to the Ocean Empire trading Totems of Undying for prismarine. The two then laugh of what happened, and Mythical Sausage jokingly says he is now also a therapist because of how amazing this has turned out. Once the trade is over the two bid each other farewell and Joey returns to his empire, the two then separately state how weird that whole situation was and hopefully it is over now.

### Episode 17

Xornoth gave Joey a special crown which he promised to always wear. When he walked away with it, he discovered his eyes had turned red and whenever he tried to speak he would say random words such as 'blood' and 'kill them all'. Suddenly, he proclaimed victory from the top of fire temple and that anyone who disobeyed him would be slaughtered.

### Episode 19

Joey kidnapped GeminiTay and Smajor with MythicalSausage. Xornoth told them to not kill Smajor for some reason. Joey also revealed some backstory for the lost empire as well as his goals for it. The people of the Lost Empire worshipped the four elements - fire, earth, air and water. Each had a temple and totem which together brought harmony to the Empire. However, due to reasons not known, the totems and temples were destroyed and the Empire fell to ruins. As the new emperor, Joey has taken it upon himself to rebuild the temples and find the totems in order to restore harmony to the world once more.

### Episode 21

Joey Graceffa got invited by MythicalSausage and PearlescentMoon to their Arena - enticing him with the attendance of his boyfriend Xornoth, after confronting them about the growing mushrooms peppered all over the Lost Empire. Joey asks Xornoth to get Shubble and trap her in the Shrine Room underneath the first Temple of the Lost Empire. Joey threatens to lock Shubble in the cage "for a very long time" and slaughter her mooshrooms after the mushroom prank. Joey was envious over the amount of corruption that Shubble has, and after Xornoth turned all the massive mushrooms into corruption, he was over the moon because of it. Yet Shubble was disgusted of Joey's profound love over them. Joey unveils that Xornoth can't be controlled with how much corruption he was putting (the Emperor thinking that it's a flirtatious act towards others) and that they were dealing it both in therapy, to which Shubble cordially replies that their relationship has big issues and Joey should leave him. The Lost Empire emperor smacks her with the sword instead, telling the Gnome Queen they aren't friends, and leaves her in the cage, without any food to spare.

## Involvement in the End War

*For more information, visit The End War.*

In an episode posted, Joey builds an escape room inside the Wither Rose Alliance's headquarters as a part of fWhip's challenge to their enemies, the Codfather Alliance, to reclaim Solidarity's cod head. By luck, the head was hidden inside the End.

MythicalSausage informs Joey of this and heads out to the Ocean Empire to enter the End and defeat the Dragon, as part of their contracts with Xornoth in exchange of limitless power. Underneath the waters of the Ocean Empire is an amethyst geode with both a Nether portal and a hidden stronghold with an ender portal in it. The two set their spawn points and hop in.

Inside the End, MythicalSausage and Joey shoots, flies, levitates, and destroys the end crystals. They spot members of the Wither Rose Alliance, along with Dangthatsalongname, Katherine, and Shubble, replacing crafted end crystals in hopes of protecting the Dragon from dying. The Dragon was slain by Joey and Xornoth was freed.

At the end of the episode, Xornoth is seen atop an obsidian pillar: Horns atop its head and a newer skin, it is to be believed that it is at full power. Joey rejoices and commends the the demon's new look, slipping an innuendo.

### The Fall of Xornoth

*For more information, visit The Final Battle.*

While he was preparing to take flight towards Katherine's Overgrown empire to see the Baby Town, Joey was teleported elsewhere to a land corrupted, with two towers built out of blackstone and red beacons inside of them, by Xornoth. Xornoth brought Joey to the corrupted part of the mountain because he wants Joey to find a blood sacrifice to corrupt the Dragon Egg stolen from GeminiTay, and the person being Shubble the Gnome. Xornoth also deems MythicalSausage a traitor due to him being healed by GeminiTay and orders Joey to slay him, to which the Lost Empire ruler angrily agrees on. The demon plans to hatch the Corrupted egg and lay waste to all the land.

Joey Graceffa was devastated and shocked by the fact that MythicalSausage turned his cloak from Xornoth. He thought him and MythicalSausage would be in this together. He took care of assassinating MythicalSausage at first before kidnapping the Gnome.

At the Mythland Tower, Joey finally confronts MythicalSausage.

After slaughtering MythicalSausage in his tower, Joey flies to the Undergrove. He learns that Shubble escaped the previous cage due to his mooshroom milk. He tries to lure a creeper towards Shubble while he's mounted on Mother Wolf but fails, and goes for the chance to splash a Sleeping Potion instead of the Gnome.

At the cage in Xornoth's base, Shubble tries to convince Joey that Xornoth doesn't love him, but Joey thinks the gift of the Crown is an act of love. Shubble tells that Xornoth is using him, but Joey likes being used and his actions are willful, and to this, Shubble replies that Joey deserves better than that. Their conversation was cut at the arrival of Shubble's friends, GeminiTay, Smajor, Katherine and PearlescentMoon. Joey bears the spawn eggs of Ravagers, Strays, Vexs and Vindicators that Xornoth gave to him for defences.

The great battle has commenced. Joey was distracted by PearlescentMoon and Katherine in a field over the towering base of Xornoth, summoning Ravagers and Vindicators, feeling no damage at all. Katherine dies at first, and Joey ravenously searches through her items to find her head for his Head Collection. Only Pearl remains, but Shubble had been freed and joins in the battlefield. After loosing many arrows, PearlescentMoon falls, and Joey does the same, only while searching for Pearl's head, Katherine comes in and slays him two times (due to him wielding a Totem of Undying).

Joey Graceffa suffers a tremendous defeat in the glorious hands of GeminiTay, Smajor, Katherine, Shubble and PearlescentMoon, after the party had successfully turned the demon Xornoth into a red crystal. Joey's Crown stopped working, his eyes returned to its natural color green, and he was left contemplative of his malevolent actions while he wore the Crown.

He reminisces of the first time Xornoth made his appearance and sparked a budding romance between the two, and reflects (while cleaning up the corruption in his empire) that he has to get over his defeat and disappearance, yet he will always hold a place in the Ruler's heart. He tried to envision a future where there'll be an even crazier demon that Joey could love and worship.
