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.

The intruder alarm goes off again, and Linkara joins Iron Liz and 90s Kid in the living room. They can hear the Entity all around them but they can’t see it, and try as Linkara might he can’t get a lock on it with his tricorder. Liz notices static in one corner of the room and goes to investigate. Before Linkara can intervene, Liz is snatched away by the Entity. Linkara realizes that he’s in over his head and attempts to contact Angry Joe for help, but he receives no answer. Desperately, he calls one person after another begging for help, but no one answers. Finally, he realizes the awful truth: everybody is gone. Everybody on Earth has been taken by the Entity. Everybody except Linkara…and 90s Kid.

Linkara thinks back to 90s Kid’s strange behavior during the KISS Comics review, how it was 90s Kid who called Linkara and distracted him when Ninja-Style Dancer was taken, how 90s Kid was the last one with Harvey before he was taken, and how Pollo vanished when they were all in a room together. Of all the people in the world, why would the Entity leave 90s Kid?

Because the Entity IS 90s Kid. Or at least, it’s been using his image to hide in plain sight of Lord Vyce.

Linkara has also realized what the Entity really is. It has no voice of its own. Its very presence causes glitches. The poem explains everything, but he hadn’t been thinking about it the right way. “A piece of the world is missing” - it doesn’t mean it’s gone, it’s the Entity’s name: MissingNo.

“This game has been very amusing,” “90s Kid” says as he removes his sunglasses, “but I think it’s time for it to end.” His voice becomes higher and more synthesized and he opens his eyes, revealing then to be full of static. “Huuuuuuummmmmaaaaaaaaaannnnn…”

Once again, the apartment is bathed in red light. Annoyed, Linkara leaves the apartment, but suddenly finds himself in his old house. Whately and two Pyramid Heads are waiting for him. Whately explains that his Order is the same cult that sacrificed the girl to make the Magic Gun, and that they wanted Linkara to spread the word of their god - the Entity - and bring it into the nightmares of everyone in the world. The magic and spells in the old book were meant to make Linkara more malleable towards their cause. Whately sics a Pyramid Head on Linkara, but Linkara whips out a Bat’leth and kills it. The other Pyramid Head attacks, stabbing Linkara in the gut. Linkara miraculously survives, and suddenly Iron Liz, 90s Kid, and another Linkara beam in, all armed with guns. Liz fires on the Pyramid Head, stunning it.

It turns out the first Linkara is actually a hologram, and the small device on his jacket is a mobile emiter, which allows a hologram to move around outside a holodeck and interact with solid matter. Since Linkara had been harassed by Silent Hill for the last two years, he was expecting another attack and had Holokara review the Silent Hill comics while Linkara stayed in Comicron-1. Holokara disappears, and Linkara once again uses a Pokeball to capture the stunned Pyramid Head.

He turns his attention to Whately, who rants he cannot be judged. Linkara acknowledges this, adding that he can’t even turn Whately over to the police, since no one would believe what had happened. He pulls out the Magic Gun, asking if he knows the name of the girl his cult murdered. Whately doesn’t, to Linkara’s disappointment. He explains that half the reason the events of Dead/Alive happened was because the girl thought that all the people responsible for her situation were dead. He points the gun at Whately. “Let’s let her judge you, shall we?”

He fires on Whately, destroying him. Liz asks if it’s over, but before Linkara can respond, they hear the Entity’s cry. “No,” Linkara says, “this is only the beginning.”

Meanwhile, in France, Benzaie contacts SadPanda. Half of France’s population has mysteriously vanished, and Benzaie wants to make sure SadPanda is alright. Suddenly, the Entity intervenes, taking them both.

Marzgurl is confronted by the Entity. “It’s you!” she cries, “But that’s just not possible! There’s no way you can be M-” Before she can go on, she disappears.

The small device can now be seen pinned to Linkara’s jacket. As Linkara finishes the review, fog creeps in and sirens can be heard, once again signaling the arrival of Silent Hill. He flips open his communicator and states, “It’s begun.”

Meanwhile, Spoony is about to announce the long-awaited WARRIOR #4 review, when he is attacked by the Entity and disappears.

Static fills the screen as the credits roll, and suddenly the credits blur until they disappear completely. time’s up.

Linkara is looking through the book. He turns a page and reacts with shock and horror to see the words I CAN SEE YOU LINKARA scrawled on it. After a moment he snarls, “Oh it is on, now!”

Linkara uses his Sonic Screwdriver on some kind of small device, eventually throwing it down in frustration.

i am beautiful

In an effort to fight the comic’s portrayal of clowns as evil or scary, Linkara introduces a new character to the show: the kind and dignified Boffo the clown. He’s taken by the Entity when Linkara isn’t looking.

Glitch: i’m not that thin

Linkara calls Iron Liz, Pollo, and 90s Kid for a meeting. He’s come to the conclusion that Harvey Finevoice has indeed been taken by the Entity, along with Doctor Linksano and Ninja-Style Dancer. But it gets worse: Nimue reports that her scanners have been showing a steady decrease of the human population over the last few months. Over one billlion people are missing. It’s only now that governments and news agencies are begininning to notice. Linkara explains that whatever is behind this is very methodical: disappearances happened in either densely populated areas where no one would notice if a few people went missing or in rural areas where there weren’t that many people to begin with, entire families are taken all at once to decrease chances of being reported, disappearances never happen when there are other people around, and there’s no residual energy trace or any indication of what happened to the victims. Linkara’s created a series of force fields, security procedures, and alarms to better protect them, and instructs Pollo to go into the living room to implement them.

While the others discuss how to best defend themselves, an alarm goes off warning of an intruder in the living room. They rush in only to find Pollo gone. Linkara attempts to scan the room, but all he finds is a faint particle trace that decays rapidly, with the remaining particles shifting wildly in mass and volume.

it’s more than a piece

i’ve already won the game

After the credits, Linkara does the I-AM-A-MAN punch, but he’s knocked back by…something, followed by another glitch: can you see me?
