Linkara faces MissingNo. MissingNo. claims to be an Outer God that seeks to absorb all of reality, as it lacks its “beauty.” As it spread across the Multiverse, it gained many followers, but also an obstacle: Lord Vyce. MissingNo. insists that Vyce could never hope to defeat it, but nevertheless his attacks diminished MissingNo greatly. MissingNo. fled across the Multiverse to seek an opportunity to defeat Vyce without risking further damage. Linkara was that opportunity. Thanks to Linkara, Vyce was out of the way, and MissingNo. left Linkara alone and began its work. Linkara fires on MissingNo. with the Magic Gun, but it has no effect. MissingNo. simply takes the gun and absorbs it. Linkara flees into his room, commanding Nimue to put a force field over the door. MissingNo. does not pursue him.

In Linkara’s room, Nimue explains that the presence of MissingNo. has cut off her connection with Comicron-1, so there’s no way to transport to it. Even if they could, MissingNo. is attacking the ship and will absorb it soon. Nimue also reveals that the force field is not an obstacle for MissingNo. Linkara realizes with horror that MissingNo. can get to him whenever it wants and that it’s just toying with him. Nimue asks if Linkara has a plan, but Linkara confesses that using the Magic Gun was his plan; since the Magic Gun was created using magic involved with MissingNo., he figured that would be enough. Nimue points out that MissingNo. is from Pokemon, so why not try catching it with a Pokeball? But Linkara’s Pokeballs are all in the living room, and besides, MissingNo has grown so huge and powerful Linkara wouldn’t know where to throw one. Out of ideas, Linkara seeks a comic to help him focus.

Nimue informs Linkara that MissingNo. can be detected in every corner of the room and that they are surrounded. Linkara decides its time to face the music and prepares to leave the room. Before he does, he notices the Planet of the Symbiotes issue still lying on the futon and seems to get an idea. MissingNo. has been patiently waiting, and mockingly asks if this is the part where they fight. Linkara admits that none of his weapons or skills or magic can defeat MissingNo., and that he has no choice but to surrender. But before MissingNo. absorbs him, he has a question: what will it do after it has absorbed him? MissingNo. states that it will continue to absorb this and all other universes until it becomes existence itself.

“And then what are you going to do?” Linkara asks.

MissingNo. seems confused and Linkara presses the issue: what will it do once it’s completed its goal? What will it DO when it is not only the only being in reality, but literally reality itself? It can’t create anything, since that would be something different from itself and would be just absorbed back into it, so what is it going to do? Linkara points out how absorbing all of reality will make its existence a lonely one. Existence will be its prison. All possibilities and experiences will be known and completed, making them completely meaningless.

MissingNo. becomes increasingly agitated as it considers Linkara’s words. Linkara asks another question, a possibility that MissingNo. can explore: what happens to an Outer God when it dies? MissingNo. decides to find out and procedes to kill itself. All of Linkara’s companions reappear in the room, alive and unharmed, and 90s Kid is back to normal. Nimue states that all the people and property that MissingNo. has taken over the last few months has been restored.

Ninja-Style Dancer stumbles into the apartment, bleeding. He gives Linkara one of his cards, which says:

A PIECE OF THE WORLD IS MISSING
ITS VOICE IS NOT ITS OWN

Linkara rushes to give the Ninja-Style Dancer medical attention when he gets a phone call from 90s Kid. While he’s distracted, Ninja-Style Dancer is surrounded by static and disappears.

Somewhere else, Ninja-Style Dancer is sneaking around when the Entity suddenly lashes out at him. He narrowly escapes with another smoke bomb.

For the first time since his disappearance was mentioned, we see the Ninja-Style Dancer again, sneaking around somewhere. The Entity taunts the Ninja, who then disappears using a smoke bomb.

When the parents attempted to take the finished weapon, now powered by the soul of their tormented daughter, it burned them. They were plunged into nightmares too horrible to describe before finally descending into madness and death.

The visions are getting worse as various characters appear throughout the review to taunt Linkara and call him a murderer. A siren sounds again, but instead of fog, the apartment is bathed in red light, indicating that Linkara is now in the Otherworld. He’s attacked by a demon nurse, but he makes quick work of her. Suddenly the Magic Gun starts burning his hand.

“What’s wrong with my Magic Gun!?”

“The problem,” a deadly serious 90s Kid says, “is that it exists at all, you sick freak.”

Falling to his knees, Linkara finds a very old book and starts paging through it.

beneath the seas besides the flame
off the coast where the lost beast came
to bring the world misery and shame
a piece of the world is missing

She didn’t get to heaven. Not even close.

i didn’t get to heaven, it hurts every time i don’t go to heaven

they didn’t love me

He looks up to find a girl wrapped in rope and bloody bandages, aka the Dolorem. Linkara puts two and two together: this is the girl who was sacrificed by her parents to create a powerful weapon…Linkara’s Magic Gun. He tries to apologize, but the Dolorem barrages him with psychic attacks, calling him “Daddy.” He begins to believe he is indeed the girl’s father and, horrified and wracked with guilt, he puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger.

Linkara is bathed with white light and hears a small voice: “No! Partner. Friend.”

His mind clear, Linkara taunts the Dolorem, explaining that he isn’t a Silent Hill protagonist and can’t be defeated with angst and self doubt. He’s realized that the Dolorem is a demon made up of all the girl’s hate and misery that came from her parents’ torment. But the girl got revenge on her parents, and bears no ill will against Linkara. In fact, she considers them partners. So she doesn’t need the Dolorem anymore. The Dolorem sics the demon nurse on Linkara, but he releases Pyramid Head from his Pokeball, and he cleaves the nurse in two. Linkara fires on the Dolorem, destroying her for good. Almost immediately, he hears the strange, synthesized cry again.

Later, Linkara tells Iron Liz about the affair. He hopes that the little girl, whoever she was, is at peace now, and explains the old book remained after the Otherworld faded away. He also says Pollo scanned the area and found a familiar energy trace and a Shade dagger, confirming that Vyce was behind it all.

On Lord Vyce’s ship, Mechakara is furious that his plan to drive Linkara mad failed, but insists that he can still be broken psychologically if they try again. Vyce disagrees, and tells Mechakara he will use brute force to beat Linkara. He’s even found someone who can give Mechakara the proper upgrades: Doctor Linksano.

Linkara’s successor is revealed: her name is Iron Liz, who wears an Iron Maiden shirt. Clad in Linkara’s hat and coat, she reviews the comic with the assistance of Ninja-Style Dancer.

Mechakara knocks out the bewildered Linkara. He wakes to find himself tied up. Mechakara has removed his coat and appears to be scanning it. He explains that he’s actually a Pollo from an alternate universe where robots have rebelled against their human masters. He murdered his Linkara and made a “suit” of his flesh.

There still remains a token human resistance in his universe, and they use magic, something robots are vulnerable to. Mechakara came to Linkara’s universe through the rip in hypertime caused by Warrior #1 to get Linkara’s Magic Gun. Not only that, he felt he had killed his Linkara too quickly and wanted to make Linkara suffer, explaining his attempts to sabotage the show. However, he claims he did NOT destroy the Continuity Alarm.

He eventually finds the Magic Gun in Linkara’s coat, but by then Linkara has found his Dragon Dagger and cuts himself free. They fight, but Mechakara is powerful and can quickly adapt to any weapon used on him. Linkara tries to flee but he’s confronted by the Black Lantern Spoony. Linkara manages to snap him out of it by enraging him (“You’re in my SPOT, sir!”) but the now-alive-again Spoony just punches him and leaves.

Harvey Finevoice, 90s Kid, and Ninja-Style Dancer come to Linkara’s aid, but together they only manage to damage Mechakara’s face, revealing his robotic innards. They panic and retreat, leaving Linkara behind. Mechakara resumes his assault, but Linkara manages to get his Power Morpher out of his coat. He morphs, restoring his hat and coat, healing his wounds, and making him more powerful. Pollo arrives and Linkara urges him to help him. It turns out Pollo’s systems are similar to Mechakara’s, so he’s able to hack into them and lower Mechakara’s defenses. Linkara takes this chance to get the BFG and fires on Mechakara, destroying him once and for all.

OR DOES HE!?

It’s revealed that while Mechakara appeared to blow up, Doctor Insano actually teleported the robot to his lab at the last second. He proceeds to electrocute Mechakara, wanting revenge for cutting his hair.
