## Rad Facts

Taylor Swift (Freddie Wong): The first thing that Taylor realized after being beheaded was that it won't affect his future voice-over career of gasping for animes.

Lincoln Li-Wilson (Matt Arnold): Lincoln makes his own Gatorade by taking Airborne and mixes it with water and salt and food coloring. Both of his dads drink it because they support him. Marco calls it "Betterade".

Normal Oak (Will Campos): Normal loves soup because he believes it never goes bad. He'll make a pot of soup and leave it on the stove for a week and still eat it.

Scary Marlowe (Beth May): Scary's favorite sound is the sound of silence, followed by a light chuckle, followed by "Oh, okay". Which is the sound of a joke being made that really hurts someone's feelings.

Dungeon Master (Anthony Burch): Anthony recommends the podcast *The Real Housewives of D&D* starring Riley Rose Critchlow, as well as Nicole Wyland among others.

## Plot Summary

### Meeting Jodie

Jodie Foster, sitting brooding on the throne of hell, is not enthused to see the group of teens, including his son and grandson. He explains that once they leave, they will never be able to enter hell again – even in death. Jodie has listened to the podcast and is aware of the teens’ situation. He (and his exposition bat) tell them that Scam ran away with their son Hermie, there are some dogs in hell, Scam is in another realm, that he is disappointed in Nick abandoning Taylor and generally not going along with what he wants and that Morgan left him for Glenn to go demon hunting together.

When Hermie and Jodie go for a hug, Jodie accidentally calls him the other b-word and Hermie loses the bit of trust he had left in parental figures.

It turns out that there are even deeper layers of hell than the throne room: megahell, where the anchor is located. Down there, Glenn and Morgan slayed 665 out of the 666 hate demons of hell; a prophecy foretells that a chosen one will appear to slay the final demon. Taylor, Scary and Normal all assume it’s them.

Taylor’s head gets put on a peppermint candy cane that Link carries around from there on.

### MEGAHELL

Jodie wants to look cool in front of Morgan and chooses to go hunt for the last demon with the kids in megahell instead of spending time with Hermie. They all fall past the corpses of the first 665 demons and end up on a large, green field with three circular stone structures. Glenn and Morgan are resting there; Normal senses the anchor as an object that Glenn is carrying. Morgan and Glenn immediately, within earshot, discuss whether the kids should be bait or allies.

The anchor is Glenn’s guitar pick, it is the anchor of love and it shines blue.

Jodie tells Scary specifically about the guitar pick and how important it is to Glenn, after noting earlier that she is by far the most evil in the group. Scary tells the group that this pick is the anchor but not a big deal to Glenn emotionally.

They ask Glenn for a song and he starts playing his favorite Jingle Bells solo. Scary spiderclimbs him. Link challenges him to play with the guitar behind his head. Scary reaches for the pick, but Glenn plays so fast that it shreds her hand clean off. She goes to cry in a tree.

In another attempt to steal the pick, Taylor asks Link to throw the straight end of his candy cane into Glenn’s guitar. With Normal’s help, Link realizes that throwing and kicking are the same and unlocks his hidden potential.

The following things happen, in order, as both characters anticipate each other’s moves:

1. Link throws the candy cane.
2. Glenn spins to round-house kick the cane out of the air.
3. Taylor yanks his head to readjust the cane’s trajectory.
4. Glenn turns and grabs the candy cane out of the air and comes face to face with Taylor.
5. Glenn says: “Heh, you think you got what it takes to defeat me?”
6. Taylor says: “You’re quicker than I thought, old man.”
7. Glenn says: “Heh, nothing personal, kid.”
8. Glenn tries to throw the candy cane into space, but only manages to toss it back across the field.
9. Link catches it. (L: “'t’was a pretty good try.” T: “It was a nice try.” L: “ROUND TWO!”)
10. Link throws it again.
11. Morgan steps in and slaps it to the ground.

### The Twelve-in-One Demon

Morgan points at each of the three cobblestone structures and says “well”, summoning the final demon: the twelve bully soccer players of San Dimas High.

Normal offers to heal Scary, but she ignores him.

They notice that one of the twelve is FBI agent Schmegan’s son. Link then gets a mysterious text, asking whether he needs help. He replies yes and his phone shatters, creating a portal through which a team of FBI agents invade hell. Jodie immediately recognizes the agents as the people hunting his son and attacks them. While they fight, Glenn challenges the twelve demon teens to yet another soccer match – the only way to truly defeat them. Morgan offers up the pick as a prize if the teens help them defeat the soccer demon.

The group prepares for a match. Scary takes the left striker position. Normal jumps back to the pride layer to get a decapitated Teeny for Taylor to use as a body – by shoving the candy cane into it, giving him physic control over it while he sits roughly on its shoulder. He is made the goal keeper, since he is now tall and sticky. Hermie transforms into Keira Knightley in Bend It Like Beckham, sending Normal into crisis. The two will play left and right back. Morgan will play right striker, as she has extremely powerful legs. Glenn will be somewhere on the field, on their team.

They point out that the other team should only have eleven players and ask for Schmegan’s kid. He is sent over, but then shot down on the way and his soul goes to heaven. Link convinces Jodie to stop fighting the FBI and join their team (to impress Morgan), as well as Schmegan and three other agents (as your sins may be forgiven and you can get into heaven if you play soccer real good).

The players are led out onto the field; the teams flip a coin, determining that the main teen’s team starts with the kick-off. Link and Scary, rival co-captains, keep arguing until Normal freaks out and kicks the ball, starting off the game.

## Trivia

* Jodie states that some senses degrade in hell but others get sharper: he is half blind but can smell evilness.
* Glenn got a wish from a genie and wished to be "covered in abs".
* While Taylor’s head was stuck to the curved end of the candy cane, Link was licking the straight end to sharpen it.
