## Plot

The Group returns to Nelson, or what’s left of the city. Jennifer has left the city in ruins, with multiple buildings knocked down and a majority of the citizens having evacuated. Bryson comments, “This looks bad. But I think we should have some time to ourselves. Wouldn’t you guys agree?” Everyone says yes, with Bryson answering, “Bowling? Payment for half is on me.” Everyone laughs, and they simply walk away from the wreck. Jennifer continues to terrorize the town, and expects The Group to attempt to stop her, but is confused when no one even gets near the town. Meanwhile, The Group are simply having a fun time bowling (“MethHead Freestyle”) when Carly and Kylie suddenly barge in. Carly asks, “Have you guys seen what Jennifer has done to Nelson?” Bryson answers, “Yeah, but we’re taking a break. We’ve died and been resurrected. I think that’s enough for today. We can figure this out tomorrow.” Kylie slams her fist next to Bryson, and barks back, “Dude! You guys have fought tooth and veil for this town. There’s no way you’re backing down now. You guys must have some kind of plan, right?” Bryson shrugs. Kylie gives up, with Carly trying to get her to keep asking. Carson asks, “Can’t the Belsen people do it for us?” Carly and Kylie ask, “Belsen?” While Carson explains what Belsen is, The Group huddles up to form a plan. “Okay,” Bryson begins. “So, what do we do?” Veronica answers, “I mean, Carson did say to use the Belsen people.” “No, I don’t think they would like to. We already saw that with Writer Bryson. ‘We want to keep the rules of the universe separate.‘ His exact words.” Katie comes up with an idea. “What if I transfer my powers to someone in particular? Have them fight Jennifer on their own.” Bryson answers, “That can work. The only problem is the instability that can cause.” Yasmin asks, “Instability?” “Yeah. It is theoretically possible that they can take on so much power that they can explode and die. We already saw that with Gordon and James.” Katie answers, “Well, a sacrifice, in case it does. Like how The Angel Lord volunteered to sacrifice themselves to destroy the God Box.” Bryson says, “That can work. Who wants to volunteer?” To his surprise, no one raises their hand, until one does.
