Episode Fourteen: One Way Out

Maddox, Wyatt, Andi, and Rosie finally discover just what really happened to Freddy Fast Fingers. What they uncover leads to a new beginning as the Great Metaverse Crossover begins...

Summary:

Rosie and Maddox make their way outside to meet Joey Batters, while Wyatt channels Balthazar in an attempt to read the scroll. He is only able to determine that it is in Balthazar's handwriting. A system shock sends Wyatt and Maddox full pilot while Rosie becomes fully immersed in The Nose. Wyatt observes the change from inside the cabin while The Nose convinces Joey to give her a car and she promptly throws "Freddy", aka a disguised Maddox, into the trunk. The convoy moves off to a warehouse where Joey attempts to beat information out of "Freddy". Rosie finally takes back control from The Nose and Wyatt uses a henchman who's body he cut in half with a shotgun as his plus one. The Nose/Rosie makes a play and starts an internal fight amongst Joey's gang, just in time for Sergio and Nurse Tesla to arrive and paint a bistro into existence. Yes, really. Confused by the sudden appearance of bread sticks and espresso, the gang turns against the pilots and engages in a gun fight. So Rosie turns most of them into borks. Any chance at a second borkicide is stopped by the arrival of Frank Nitty, who backhands Joey into a wall before departing. The remaining borks and gangsters make their exit and the pilots get back on the trail of the real Freddy, who The Nose has just smelled...very much alive. Following the scent, the group finds the dead body of Myra sans organs. It is clear that Freddy has been here and wept at the feet of his dead wife. Continuing on, they find themselves at a small house that is clearly being used by Nazis. With the use of a spell, a metal lasso, mindless obedience, and Nurse Tesla's electric personality, the opposing force is quickly dealt with. Inside, the team finds a bound and beaten Freddy. Only he isn't Freddy at all, but Percival Payne, aka Balthazar's Hype Man, in disguise. He reveals that he was supposed to retrieve the scrolls and Myra, who is a minor sorceress, and bring all those items back to his master. He tells the others that the rest of the scrolls are hidden at Max Malone's office. After gathering all the scrolls, the pilots and Percy head back to Freddy's cabin. Behind a hidden door they find steps leading down to a basement which is filled with dead gangster hitmen...and the bodies of Max, Lew, and Balthazar. Percy finally lets the truth out, that Nazis were after Balthazar and they engaged him in a firefight at this house. Max and Lew were killed, along with Balthazar who used the last of his strength to raise the ghosts of Max and Lew to find Percy and Myra, and bring them and the scrolls back to his body in order to raise him. Without Myra, it falls to Rosie to recite the spells. As she does, Balthazar rises as Lew and Max fall and vanish. Maddox wakes up in her metapod. She opens the door to reveal Jenika and Aquamarine working on the prone form of Wyatt. Nearby Brony and Ronald are sleeping, and Rosie exits a pod across from Maddox. In the inky darkness Wyatt feels a warm sensation on his wrist and looks down to see his father's watch. He hears the voice of Bobby saying, "Not yet, Wyatt. Not yet." Wyatt sits up with a gasp as TOM's voice comes over the loudspeaker. It's time to save the Metaverse...
