Sneeze It and Weep

## Synopsis

Klaus's allergies begin to act up more and more when the spirit of the ancient bird spirit Ténehkai takes refuge inside his body; and as the boy gets weaker by the minute, Ténehkai's dark secrets quickly become a real threat not only to him, but to all of Dellville.

## Plot

The orb's cracking is quickly declared a potential threat. As the museum tries to make people keep their distance as government agents make their way inside to investigate, the rest of Klaus's class gathers curiously around to see what's going on. Amidst them is Katrine, who is quick to suggest that the mess is the trio's fault. While Klaus, Andy and Kailey worry about the story of Ténehkai potentially being true, Katrine shrugs it off as a hoax. In the meantime, she notices that Klaus seems to have totally zoned out whilst watching the orb, quick to mock him for it as Andy and Kailey quickly snap him out of it. His staring is noticed by the agents investigating the orb, and the leader, Agent Webb, approaches Klaus, ordering him to follow. As she leads him closer to the orb, she demands her agents to clear the room, leaving only Klaus, Andy and Kailey. Now with some privacy, she orders that Klaus 'unlocks' the orb the rest of the way. Klaus refuses, despite her insistence. Backing into the orb's case, Klaus takes advantage of the orb's strange glowing beginning to crack the display as it pushes against it, and pretends that the energy is happening to him in order to send out a shockwave and knock the surrounding agents out with revealing his identity. The shockwave breaks the display glass the rest of the way, however, and Klaus feels a force in his back, knocking him to the ground. Andy and Kailey rush over to help him up, both to make sure he's okay and due to the fact that his leg is still broken. As Klaus finds his footing, he notices that the orb is no longer glowing. He also notes that once the agents wake up, they'll likely try to take the orb for themselves, considering Webb's interest in it. Not trusting them in the slightest, Klaus takes the orb himself in hopes of protecting it from them, taking advantage of the security cameras having been fried from his electrical blast. With the orb safe in his bag, the trio quickly make their way out of the room to regroup with the rest of the class.
Back home, Klaus briefly stresses over having essentially stolen Ténehkai's orb as he finds a safe place to keep it in his room until further notice. Ultimately, he grabs a cushion for it to sit on atop his vanity. Once he knows its secure, he looks it over for any more damage. As he does this, he notes the odd feeling in his gut, promptly wondering if somehow the orb is causing the sensation. He ultimately brushes it off and prepares to go to bed. Just as he gets comfortable, Klaus is quickly interrupted by a crow at his window, which sets off his feather allergy. He quickly shoos it away and shuts his window before once again settling into his bed for the night.
The next morning, Klaus awakes to the uncomfortable sensation of his allergies once again clogging his senses and making his muscles ache. Quick investigation leads him to find a small orange bird perched on his bedside table. He moves to shoo it out, but is shocked to turn to his window and find that its still closed. Before he can fully wonder how the bird got inside, Klaus looks back to see that it has already disappeared. He shrugs the strangeness off and gets up to prepare for school, quickly investigating the orb to make sure it still hasn't had any new developments. With his allergies still persisting, Klaus heads to the door, only to run smack into Daniel, who's swinging by the house to check in after hearing about the events at the museum the day prior. Klaus's sneezing catches Diane's attention from the kitchen, bringing her to come over and investigate. Klaus tells the both of them about the bird in his room earlier - and as he does, Daniel notices some feathers lingering on him, grabbing it to get it off of him. With Klaus still looking unwell, Diane suggests that he stays home for the day, which similarly relieves Daniel's worries of warning Klaus to be careful for the day.
As the day goes on, Klaus tries to relax despite his allergies seemingly getting worse. As he prepares himself a bath, he notices that in the mirror's reflection that his skin now has golden-orange looking splotches on it. He continues into the bath, figuring it may both calm him down and help soothe his worsening symptoms. Whilst in the bath, he quickly notices feathers outright growing on him, causing him to panic. As though that's not bad enough, a dizzy spell strikes Klaus, and when he snaps out of it he's again met with the same orange bird that was in his room that morning. To his surprise, the bird starts talking to him; he introduces himself as Ténehkai, and reveals that he's taken refuge in Klaus's body, assuming that he's been freed due to the God he's awaiting for - the Sorixae-Adu - finally arriving. Ténehkai's hopes of this are quickly dashed when Klaus is totally confused, explaining that he has no clue who that is. With the both of them confused by the situation, Klaus quickly learns that Ténehkai is able to take over his body as the bird spirit instinctively tries to get Klaus out of the bathtub so they can find someone who may know more than they do - though his control is sharply lost when he puts weight on Klaus's broken leg, causing him to fall again. As Klaus explains that his leg is broken and that he doesn't want Ténehkai running around in his body, he suggests calling the bird by the nickname "Kai" instead, as it's much easier for him to say, which Kai ecstatically agrees to. From there, Klaus gently informs Kai that due to his allergies he thinks it'd be best for them to get Kai out of his body as soon as possible. However, Kai quickly panics and asks to stay, saying how he needs help. With the bird so distressed, Klaus agrees that they'll figure something else out. Kai suggests that he'll try out a human form to see if it'll help prevent Klaus's allergies from being so active, and Klaus says that he'll reach out to his friends to see if they can look into how to get Kai the help he needs. As a thanks to Klaus, Kai gets the idea to help him with his broken leg, which results in Kai transforming Klaus's legs to be his own bird-like ones - understandably causing immediate panic. The commotion finally catches Diane's attention, and she pokes her head in to check on him, only to be similarly startled by the sight of Klaus's new bird features.
Back downstairs, Klaus has properly explained the situation to Diane and Edwin as best he can. As they take a moment to process the whole thing, a knock at the door distracts them. Edwin answers, met face to face with the same leading agent that Klaus ran into in the museum: Agent Webb. Webb asks to come inside and ask Klaus some questions pertaining to an investigation of hers, which Edwin denies without hesitation. Before she has much chance to argue, he reminds her that Dr. Melfton has a restraining order on her, which Klaus is shocked to hear from inside. Edwin threatens Agent Webb to leave, or else, and with some prodding from her subordinate accompanying her, she reluctantly agrees, leaving the premises.
Andy and Kailey arrive at the house just in time to see Webb leaving. Edwin assures them not to worry about it as they come inside and quickly head over to Klaus to check in with him - finally getting to properly see his new transformation in the process. As they talk, Klaus feels Kai's needs overtake him for a moment, causing a rather intense hunger. Once Diane grabs something for him to quickly eat, Klaus snaps out of the momentary blackout, and quickly calls upon Kai to explain himself. Kai appears in his human form, revealing that Klaus is the only one that can see him. When he asks about the blackout, Kai seems just as confused as Klaus. Andy and Kailey suggest that their best option is to try and cure Kai of the illness that led to him being locked away in the first place so Klaus and Kai can be safely separated from each other, having found a potential cure recipe in their research before they arrived at the house. Happily agreeing that its worth a shot, Kai disappears again in the meantime. Klaus initially hopes to help find the ingredients for the cure they need, but Diane and Edwin both insist that he stays at the house; especially following his momentary blackout. Instead, Edwin offers to accompany Andy and Kailey to help them in the search.
Whilst Andy, Kailey and Edwin are out searching for cure ingredients, Klaus is growing all the more impatient in his room, trying to tend to Kai's needs and fight off his allergies at the same time. He texts Kailey in hopes of an update, and she quickly informs him that they've had good luck so far and are in the process of talking with Arik for some help, only needing a few more things after that - including an energy stone and some DNA from Kai himself. As Klaus puts his phone away again, Kai makes another appearance, showing off his human look again. As they talk, Kai reveals that he recognizes the name of one of the ingredients the others are looking for, and supposedly knows where it should be. Excited at the idea of getting out of the house to help, Klaus agrees to him and Kai leaving to find it.
Not long after, Diane goes to check in on Klaus in his room, only to see that he's long gone. Frustrated, she quickly leaves in hopes that she can find him before he gets far.
Out in the city, Klaus and Kai aren't having as much luck as they were hoping; both are feeling disoriented and weak from Klaus's allergies, and Kai is confused as to where anything is, with Dellville now being so different to what he remembers. In their travels, Klaus bumps into Agent Webb, who quickly takes advantage of his disoriented state and whisks him away to her car, where they can talk privately. Seeing Klaus's transformation, so far, Webb notes that she simply thought that Klaus had freed Kai, not merged with him. And with his allergies, she notes that it's only a matter of time before he and Ténehkai fully become one, simultaneously falling to Kai's illness and making them both go mad and become all the more powerful. As though to prove her point, Klaus's arm transforms into a full wing. With this, Agent Webb determines that she'll be keeping Klaus captive with her after all.
In the meantime, Andy, Kailey and Edwin are having good luck after speaking with Arik. With most of the ingredients in hand, they determine that they can likely get the energy stone they need from Crystal Eye's powers. As they set out to find him, Andy gets to work mixing together the ingredients that they already have on hand.
Back in Agent Webb's car, Klaus's transformation is getting worse. Her teasing is the last straw for Klaus's stability; throwing Agent Webb out of the car in a moment of blinded fury, his transformation goes into overdrive, Ténehkai's bird form fully taking him over as Klaus and Kai's fully erratic minds totally merge, sending them into a rampage.
Not far off, Andy, Kailey and Edwin's search is ground to a halt at the sound of Ténehkai's rampage from afar - just in time for Diane to call to inform them that Klaus's condition has gotten much worse, and that he left the house. With this information, they very quickly conclude that the sounds of destruction they hear are Klaus. Despite Edwin's warning to wait, Andy and Kailey leave the car and follow the sounds. The three of them quickly find the giant bird form of Ténehkai, currently in the midst of destroying the streets all around him. At the sight, Edwin gets the idea to lure Ténehkai out of the city so they can figure out what to do without worrying about the destruction. He uses a modified gun he has to lead the bird down the street, which has shockwave bullets to attract Ténehkai's attention without hurting him.
Though it initially seems to work, the plan quickly falls apart when Crystal Eye comes onto the scene to attack Ténehkai. Andy and Kailey call up to him to stop and manage to catch his attention before he can hurt Ténehkai too badly. As Ténehkai is quickly distracted and continues on his destructive spree, Andy, Kailey and Edwin explain to Crystal Eye the situation. Once he's told about the energy crystal, he provides one with his powers and takes the cure to finish it and get it to Ténehkai on their behalf, so that they can stay safe while he saves Klaus and Kai. With the half-finished cure in hand, Crystal Eye heads after Ténehkai, with Andy, Kailey and Edwin following shortly behind. When they find the bird again, they see that Agent Webb has found him first, this time, and is ordering her agents to restrain Ténehkai so that they can take custody of him. Edwin takes to distracting them by shooting at Agent Webb, knocking her off her feet. As she recovers, her agents spot Crystal Eye flying after Ténehkai and no later admit defeat, not wanting to get in the hero's way. In turn, this forces Agent Webb to fall back. With Webb gone, Crystal Eye is able to handle Ténehkai without interruption; he nabs a feather the first chance he gets and hastily finishes the cure as he approaches. Once close enough, he lures Ténehkai up into the sky to stop him from destroying any more property before he then tricks Ténehkai into supposedly 'eating' him so that he can drop the cure easily down his throat. Crystal Eye escapes Ténehkai's beak as he attempts to cough up the cure, to no avail. The cure does its work, separating Klaus and Kai and effectively transforming them back to their human appearances. Crystal Eye quickly catches them before they can fall, carrying them safely down to the streets below. Once they're on solid ground, Kai excitedly thanks Crystal Eye as Edwin, Andy and Kailey come to join them.
With the ordeal done, Klaus and Kai have returned to Klaus's room, where Kai insists on going back to sleep in the glass orb that Klaus still has safely on his vanity. He tells Klaus to let him know if Webb comes back to cause any more problems, but Klaus tells him that she likely won't be an issue again once his father finds out that she tried to kidnap him. Before entering the orb, Kai heals the crack on the surface, then proceeds to pause and ask Klaus to let him know if the God he's waiting for, the Sorixae-Adu, finally arrives, not wanting to miss it. Though Klaus still isn't entirely sure who or what it is, he agrees to keep an eye out for it. With that comfort, Kai gives one last thanks and a quick hug before a glow surrounds him and he returns into the glass orb to sleep.
