## Synopsis

On their last pit-stop before reaching the Guru’s hut, Ziggy pays our heroes a devastating visit.

## Summery

While keeping watch on the deck, Raz dozed off. When he wakes up, his eyes are coated with black goo, obscuring his vision. He calls out for help, and Steven, who's keeping watch in the bedroom for the departed, hears and comes to his aid. Steven takes him down to the bedroom and sits him down against the wall. Steven goes to the attic to get Six and see if she can help clear up Raz's vision. Six is unable to help since it was not caused by dark magic. Raz begins to convulse on the ground, more dark ooze spills from his eyes and mouth and getting lodged in his throat, making him unable to breathe. Six senses that Ziggy is near, and figures that he must be manipulating the goo to hurt Raz. Steven tells the house to start running and it does so. Once the house moves far enough away, Raz's vision and lungs clear up. They end the night on a frightening note.

The Tide Turners arrive at their last supposed pit stop before reaching the swamp. They come to the small village of Ogredge, home to ogres big and small. The crew splits up into groups. Percy, Emily, Cake, Raz, Six and Mono go off to find supplies, while Chi, Ann, Cocchi, GIR and Terry go off to relieve themselves. The rest go to ask the towns folk about the swamp and guru while Eugene and Gaz stay behind to guard the house.

The group looking for supplies ask an ogre lady where to get things like wood and water. The lady tells them that they should be careful, as a blood moon is coming up and will put out all technology. She tells them they can get supplies if they go down the hill. Percy slides down followed by Six, Mono, Emily, Cake and Raz. When the others reach the bottom, they find Percy facing a small lake. Six can tell that something is wrong with him. She deduces that he's been possessed by Ziggy and that they need to leave immediately. Mono uses his powers to teleport to the others in hopes that he can get them to help. Percy lunges at the group, singling out Cake who is protecting Emily. Emily is concerned about her dog, but Raz reminds her that Percy's sword is celestial bronze and can't hurt regular humans and animals. Percy stabs Cake, notably injuring the dog gravely. Emily falls to her knees. Cake touches his paw to Emily's face and talks to her, saying that he is really a god. With his last dying breath, he transfers all of his godly power to Emily. While she's grieving, Percy tries to attack her, but Raz steps in and uses his shield ability to protect her. Ziggy manipulates the black goo inside of Razputin to put him in pain.

Mono finds everyone else already back at the castle and tells them what happened. They all rush to the hill.

Six uses her dark magic to get Ziggy out of Percy's body and mind. Raz uses telekinesis to lift Percy's now unconscious body and escorts a crying Emily up the hill. Ziggy, now out of Percy's body, manipulates Raz's blood, making it sharp and stab through his heart and his skin.

Once they reach the top of the hill, Raz collapses on the ground. Steven rushes over and tries healing him but it's too late. Razputin Aquato is dead.
