Episode Fourteen: Anywhere(pt. 4)

*Hey guys! I'm finally finished! This is the last part and episode of this season. There will be a third season but I'll have to take my time on since I haven't thought up the whole story yet! Thank you guys so much for your support of this book and I hope you all have a blessed day. This last part is published on April 1, 2020. Enjoy!*

Guy bolted through the destroyed boat port with determination set in his eyes. He hopped off from the edge of the port, flying up towards the cold air balloon that was hovering over the ocean...but he realized late that the balloon was too high and far to reach. He clenched his teeth as he felt gravity pushing him back down.

Meanwhile, Goat was flying the self-flyer, gritting his teeth while holding that small device in his hoof tightly and carefully.

"Come on, go faster!" Goat shouted while boosting himself up towards Guy, who's falling from the skies.

Guy, on the other hand, was trying to find some way with his powers where he could reach the balloon. How was he going to reach it now? As if that question was already answered, something caught him in mid-air. He was spun around along with this other person while feeling like something was strapped on him automatically. Although, he immediately recognized that it's Goat who caught him and now he's holding him.

"Goat?!" Guy shouted, his eyes widened with shock.

Goat smiled while handing Guy the small device that Jeffrey gave him. "Jeffrey said to give you this! Press it whenever you're ready!"

That's when Goat let go of Guy, who had a self-flyer strapped onto his back. Guy had his eyes bulged out more while reaching a hand out for Goat.

"Goat, no!" Guy shouted while his hand glowed. Goat immediately disappeared into thin air.

~.~

Everyone stood on the highest hill, that overlooked Floriana, and stared off in the distance with complete shock and confusion on their faces.

"Uh...did we just witnessed Goat just taking off like that?" Louis uttered, his tone confused.

"I don't see Goat now...where did he go?" Michael noted while trying to squint closely. Suddenly, Goat fell on top of the fox with a yelp.

McWinkle chuckled at both the fox and the goat. "Right there."

"Ow...I just fell for two seconds...I thought I was going to fall longer than that," Goat groaned in pain while laying on top of the fox comfortably.

Michael had his brows furrowed. "Man, could you get off of me?"

"Oh yeah, sorry," Goat responded while getting up from the ground.

Michellee glanced over at Goat with worry. "Where's Guy?! Where's the self-flyer?!"

Goat looked up towards the balloon drifting off into the fog. "He has it now."

~.~

Meanwhile, Guy glanced up at the balloon and stuffed the device in his fur pocket. He used his new and improved flying contraption and boosted himself up towards the balloon with a determined look on his face. When Guy reached the balloon, Jeckles noticed him getting to the balloon. Before he could make a landing, Jeckles used the force to tear the contraption on Guy's back so that he could fall again. As Guy fell, he shrugged the contraption off of his shoulder to let it fall while grabbing onto the rope hanging onto the balloon.

"You think you can win this battle, Guy?!" Jeckles shouted as Guy climbed up towards the balloon. As if it's instinct, Guy dodged the sharp tip coming out of the raft. However, another tip came at him at the exact point, knocking him over. With quick reaction by his side, Guy grabbed onto the vine holding the tip, which pulled him into the balloon. His knees collapsed on the wooden floor while glaring up at Jeckles, who had that evil grin on his face.

"Jeckles! This has to stop!"

"Or what?! You'll tear me to shreds?!" Jeckles barked while using his mind to throw objects on the balloon at Guy but Guy dodged all of them barely.

"I'm not going to use this power to kill! I've done that already!" Guy yelled, his eyes flaring up a gold color in his pupils. "Please, Jeckles, you can still stop this!"

Jeckles didn't listen to him, using the force of the wind to push him off towards the edge. Guy grabbed onto the rim of the raft and pulled himself up quickly before Jeckles made the next move. Jeckles zoomed towards him to connect his fist to Guy's jaw. Guy took an impact of the hit but his bruise automatically healed itself. Jeckles picked up a knife and pinned Guy up against the rim of the raft. Guy and Jeckles struggled while Jeckles was able to impale Guy on the shoulder. Guy yelped in pain while throwing his fist at Jeckles's cheek and pushed him away.

Guy gained his footing while ripping the knife out of his shoulder, his wound automatically healed itself. He tossed the knife away. Jeckles shot a deadly glare at him while leaping towards him. Guy ducked his head quickly while Jeckles flew off of the raft. Jeckles immediately grabbed the rope and held on for dear life.

Guy glanced down at Jeckles with a soft gaze. He stretched his hand out for Jeckles to grab. "Jeckles...please, take my hand."

Jeckles shot a deadly glare at Guy. "Why should I? You know, there's nothing good out there. There's no warmth in this world."

"I used to think that!" Guy responded loudly so that Jeckles could hear him. "I used to think that everything never goes right for me. I used to think that people had better things than I did. I used to feel cold too. You were right, Jeckles. There are cold and heartless people out there. But you're discounting the fact that there are also good people out there too. They're hard to find but in the end...it's all worth it. All of it. I promise you. You don't have to set fire to the world to feel its warmth because it's already there...with people that you love and care about."

Guy paused while frowning at Jeckles. "I've seen your memories, Jeckles. I know where you're from...how much people would ignore you...how much you were abuse...I know what you did to Spillsberry...I know that your real name is Lloyd Williams. You thought that there was nothing but bad people in the world but...it's not true...please, let me help you. I'll prove to you that there are good people left in the world. We can stop those bombs together. We don't have to fight each other."

Silence emerged while Jeckles stared up at Guy's outstretched hand and desperate gaze. Guy was so willing to stretch his hand out to help his enemy up even though he put him through so much. It took a moment for Jeckles to think about what's going on. Guy could tell Jeckles was thinking about for a moment until that thought vanished. Before Guy could predict what's going to happen, Jeckles grabbed his hand without hesitation but something was happening. Guy's hand began to vibrate violently while something just flowed into his hand, causing Guy to yelp. When he glanced at Jeckles, all Jeckles did was cornering a smirk.

Guy immediately let go of Jeckles before whatever it was going through his arm. Jeckles slipped and lost his grip on the rope he was holding onto. Guy watched the villain fall towards the ocean below them, laughing like a maniac. His mouth was left open agape while he quickly examined his hand, which shook like crazy. He gripped on it while looking around him. Guy blinked his eyes while having some sort of an X-ray vision that revealed all the bombs with places marked on them like Stovepipe Junction, Glurfsburg, Meepville, Cambridge, Fullsome, Cherryville, North and South Shvizelton, and many more. He dug his hand into his fur pocket and took out the small device that Goat gave him.

"Jeffrey says to press it whenever you're ready."

Guy knew what this device could do...and he knew where to press it at. He immediately strode up to the steering wheel while turning off the cold-air blowing through the balloon. It's sudden that the balloon deflated and plummeted straight down towards the ocean. He held onto the steering wheel, losing the huge balloon on the way down. The cold-air balloon crashed through the water, floating only just a moment before sinking. Guy climbed up to the tip part of the vehicle and gazed down at it with a deep sigh in relief. When Guy was about to hop into the water, someone just popped out of the water and pushed him into the ocean.

Guy soon realized that it's Jeckles, gripping around his neck while pushing down under further. Guy gritted his teeth and punched Jeckles in the bottom jaw. Jeckles pushed him through the ocean water, causing Guy to lose the device he's been holding onto. The device slowly drifted down while Guy was attempting to grab it. Before Guy could swim down to retrieve it, Jeckles took hold of Guy's body with his mind and thrusted Guy against a rock near him. He kept slamming Guy against the rock until Guy threw his hands up to throw small rocks into Jeckles's face. Jeckles swiped the rocks out of his face and zoomed through the water to pin Guy against the stone. Guy searched the stone for anything to hit the red-furred maniac with. He found a sharp tip of the rock and swiped it at Jeckles's cheek. Jeckles took an impact from the swipe while revealing a cut on his cheek with his blood slowly lifting out of his cut in the water. Guy quickly swam down to retrieve the device but soon realized that Jeckles's blood sucked itself back into his cut and his body. His cut was mended automatically.

With rage, Jeckles zoomed after Guy under the water and held him back. He thrusted Guy back up against the stone and kept slamming him against it to knock the wind out of him. But Guy wouldn't allow himself to be passed out even though he's barely conscious at this point. Jeckles stopped slamming Guy against the rock and then began to suffocate him with his powers.

"This is your end!" Jeckles barked from his thoughts.

Guy's eyes fluttered close, almost ready to give in. Although, in the blurriness of his vision, he noticed the ship with the bombs in, that he crashed into the water, sinking towards the bottom of the ocean. When he's on the verge of passing out, something just began to burst inside of him...something glowing. He began to feel less pain from Jeckles and the impact. He had thoughts about his family...his friends...remembering their faces. All the fun memories he had of when he played a fun game of soccer with Michellee and E.B at McWinkle's house, laughing and tackling each other. The memory of seeing Jeffrey again and holding him tightly after not seeing him for years, almost like a long-lost brother. The memory of Dave laughing and messing with him. The memories of Sam laughing and acting mischievous, getting both of them into trouble. The memory of his whole family hugging him so tightly and warmly. No...he can't let Jeckles win...he just can't.

The glow within his body became brighter as Guy's eyes snapped open, revealing the golden glow within his pupils compared to Jeckles's sickly green ones. Like a snap of a finger, Guy pushed Jeckles away from him, becoming more powerful than what he seemed.

~.~

Little did he know, Guy caused a minor earthquake that only shook everyone on the hill for a bit along with the city. Everyone planted their feet on the ground tightly, eyes widened with shock to feel the ground shaking underneath them.

"Uh...was that supposed to happen?" McWinkle uttered while looking around to make sure everyone was okay.

The Lorax looked out into the distance. "He's getting stronger."

"Are we talking Jeckles or Guy?" Goat questioned The Lorax.

The Lorax gave a deadpan stare at Goat. "Take a guess, genius."

Goat huffed while glancing over at the coast, sighing deeply.

Sam formed his hands into binoculars and looked into them. "I don't see Guy anywhere."

"I can't either," Gluntz responded, putting her hand over her eyes to stare into the distance.

"Come on, Guy, you got this," Michael spoke out loud, having faith in his friend.

~.~

Meanwhile, Guy swam up towards the surface while intaking a lot of air. He coughed for a moment while the waters were getting rougher and rougher to the storm clouds hovering above him. He took a moment to muster enough breath to go back under. He dove his head back into the water and swam quickly towards the bottom of the ocean. He knew it's a long way down but he had to get that device Goat gave him. He had to press it. He reached his hand out, hoping that the device could come to him if he's close enough. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed Guy by the throat but it didn't scare him. He glanced up to see Jeckles, again. He had one hand grasped around Jeckles's neck while having his other hand reached out for the device. Jeckles pushed him down further into the water, not realizing the consequences.

"This is your end!" Jeckles screamed from his thoughts."You could never stop me!"

In an instant, Guy felt something in his hand which he could feel that it's the device Goat gave him. That's when he smirked up at Jeckles and Jeckles could read his mind.

"Try me."

Guy pressed the button immediately.

~.~

From a distance, the group along with the citizens of Floriana saw the ocean water sprouting up into a giant tsunami which followed the ground shaking more intensely than last time.

"What the heck?!" Louis shouted with eyes bulged out.

"Son of a yip!" Both McWinkle and Goat gasped while noticing the waves washing over the city. Luckily for everyone, they were all safe on the hill. Karen and Robert gazed down at the water with complete confusion and shock.

"What just happened?" Robert uttered a question.

The Lorax edged up a small smile of relief. "He did it."

"Did what?!" Todd shouted, furrowing his brow.

Jeffrey blinked his eyes to see if he's seeing things. "He pressed the button."

"Wait...a button to what?" Gluntz asked Jeffrey.

"The bombs on the nuclear bombs...he pressed it," Jeffrey clarified, still shock.

Jean, Cosette, and Fawn were staring at the distance from Michael's shoulder.

"Is this...a bad thing?" Jean asked the group among them.

"I'm not sure," Michael responded, seeming unsure himself.

"Do you think Guy is down there?" Karen whispered to Robert, her tone filled with concern.

"I don't know, dear," Robert answered with a shrug.

Sam stood on the edge while glancing around for his best friend desperately. "Guy! Guy, can you hear me?! If you can hear me, wave!"

There's no response while Michellee and E.B stepped beside Sam while Michellee was gripping on Guy's hat tighter.

"Guy!" Michellee called out, surprising Sam. "Honey!"

"Guy! Guy!...Dad!" E.B shouted with her eyes trembling while her tone sounded desperate.

Goat and Michael stood beside the three of them.

"Guy! Guy!" Michael and Goat screamed out his name with Jean, Cosette, and Fawn joining along with them.

McWinkle, Louis, and Gluntz soon joined them in calling Guy's name. Then Guy's family rolled in and shouted out for their beloved family member. The Lorax noticed the waves pulling back towards the ocean.

"Wait! Look!" The Lorax yelled at the group while pointing down towards the city with wet ground and destroyed buildings. Everyone stopped shouting Guy's name stared anxiously, the waves revealed Guy laying on the ground in the middle of the city.

"Guy!" Sam exclaimed excitedly.

"Guy!" Both Michellee and E.B shouted happily while the three of them immediately went down the hill with Guy's family following after them. Goat and Michael exchanged brief glances at each other and then bolted after Guy's family. Louis and Gluntz followed after them with McWinkle running behind them. The Lorax looked over at the city while a truffala tree magical grew from the ground next to him, causing him to smile. He patted the tree and then ran after the group.

While everyone was running towards Guy, Guy fluttered his eyes open with a groan. He felt like he got punched in the gut while he coughed out the water out of his lungs. He heard voices, causing him to turn his head slightly while laying on the hard cold ground still. Immediately, he saw Michellee, E.B, and Sam running up to him.

"Guy!" Michellee cried out with tears streaming down on her cheeks while dropping his hat.

Guy sat up while Michellee slid on her knees, not caring whether she got her dress dirty or not. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his shoulder. E.B followed the same action while she was wrapping her arms around both Guy and Michellee, burying her head into Guy's chest. Michellee included her daughter while Sam glanced at them with a huge smile on his face. He zoomed over towards Guy while burying his face into Guy's neck.

"You're okay," Sam sobbed into Guy's neck.

"I'm okay, Sam...I'm okay," Guy soothed Sam while including him in the family hug.

Robert and Karen approached the scene with tearful smiles of joy.

"Son! You're okay!" Robert exclaimed while running towards them and joined in the hug along with his wife.

"Oh, my baby boy," Karen muttered while hugging her son.

Guy's brothers joined along with his niece and nephews. Michael and Goat stood there and watched.

"Can we join?" Michael requested with a small smile.

"Of course, get over here!" Dave gestured both Goat and Michael to come over. Michael wagged his tail happily while hugging the group tightly with Jean, Cosette, and Fawn cuddling up with Guy's family. Goat watched with a small smile, which Michael noticed.

"Hey," Michael called to Goat gently while Goat turned to see the fox extending his paw out for him.

Goat chuckled a bit while putting his hoof on Michael's paw. Unexpectedly, Michael pulled Goat into the family group hug, causing Goat to yelp a bit in surprise. Goat had his eyes widened with shock.

"Welcome to the family, Goat," Michael uttered to Goat with a soft smile.

Goat's eyes began to tremble, being reminded so much of his family...the family that died in the flames...and now was the time to start over. Goat immediately shed tears while growling. "Dang it, Michael. Now you're making me cry."

"Good," Michael responded with a little laugh.

Louis and Gluntz stared at them in awe. Gluntz clapped her hands excitedly.

"We did it. We did it," Gluntz cheered a bit while turning to Louis and pecked a kiss on his fluffy cheek. Louis widened his eyes in shock while Gluntz bolted towards the family to join in the hug. Louis's face was burning red while McWinkle witnessed what just happened. He turned to his father and waved at him awkwardly while McWinkle couldn't help but chuckle at his son's blush. However, both of them noticed Jeckles stumbling over to them, readying the sharp rocks to aim at everyone surrounding Guy.

"Guys!" Louis warned quickly to everyone.

McWinkle jumped in front of Louis so that he could take the bullet for his son.

"DAD!" Louis shouted while a sharp rock only cut McWinkle on the shoulder.

Guy immediately jumped in front of everyone to block the incoming sharp rocks. He held up his trembling hand to stop the rocks from coming and tossed them aside. The Lorax stepped in and held his hands up towards Jeckles to stop him from throwing any more sharp objects. Everyone stopped hugging each other and watched The Lorax and Jeckles. The Lorax turned to the group and smirked.

"You know, there's a less painful way to take away powers," The Lorax stated to the group.

"Wait, what?" McWinkle questioned with a raised brow while holding up his bleeding shoulder with a groan in pain.

"Dad, you're bleeding," Louis pointed out while tending to his father's wound.

McWinkle smirked. "Don't worry, Louis, I've been through worse than this."

Everyone shifted their attention to the Lorax, who had their hands held out towards Jeckles. He used his powers to take all of Jeckle's powers away, raising all the dust from the chemicals within his body, causing Jeckles to screech in pain. It finally ended when The Lorax took all of Jeckles's powers away and dispersed them into thin air. Jeckles collapsed onto the ground as the Lorax turned to the group with a soft smile.

The Lorax walked away from the group, leaving everyone absolutely confused.

McWinkle glanced over at his son with a smirk. "Detective? Make your arrest."

Louis stared at his father a bit worried.

"Don't worry, I'll heal."

Louis nodded his head in response as he walked towards Jeckles with handcuffs in his pocket. "Sir, you're under arrest." Louis cuffed Jeckles Abbot while standing him up to his feet. Jeckles struggled like a wild animal.

"I'm a god! You can't kill me! You can't kill me!" Jeckles screamed out as Louis took him away towards the arriving police cars. The officers stepped out and helped Louis with putting Jeckles in the back of the police car. Guy noticed McWinkle's cut on his shoulder and got up to his feet to check the wound.

"Are you okay?" Guy asked McWinkle.

McWinkle smiled softly at Guy. "I'm fine."

While everyone chattered among themselves, Sam gazed down on the ground sadly.

"Mom."

Michael heard the words slipped out of Sam's mouth and glanced at him.

"We came all this way to find her...but...she's not here...she's dead," Sam uttered, his heart shattering into millions of pieces. "We came all this way for nothing."

Michael put his paw on Sam's shoulder. "That's not true."

Sam glanced up at the fox.

"Jeckles Abbot was no more...you have no reason to be afraid now...you don't have to be afraid to mention his name in public," Michael pointed out with a small smile. "On top of that, there are no more assassins chasing after us. So...least we have something...right?"

Sam nodded his head and smiled at the fox with a nice thought. He gazed around him and realized something. For so long, Sam hasn't any group of family who he would call brother, sister, mother, father, etc. But when he watched his group socialize, hugging each other, and laughing with each other, it felt like he's home. For once in his life, he felt like he's home and that brought a warmer feeling than anything before.

~.~

Jeckles waited in the interrogation room for further questioning. He groaned impatiently while being cuffed to the table like an animal. He had tried to slip out of the cuffs with his 'powers' but it's no use.

Jeckles stared down at the table while hearing footsteps entering the room. He glanced up and was a bit relieved that it's not the detectives entering the room. It's the hooded figure, known as the Ghost.

"Ah, you come to rescue me. You know my partner couldn't do it without me," Jeckles snickered at the assassin.

"Your partner can wait...I have questions to ask you," The Ghost growled a bit while taking out three photos. He flipped the first one over to reveal a tanned-furred man with red hair with the name under the man's face that read: Bill.

"Why did you kill him?"

"What?"

"Why did you send an assassin to kill him?"

Jeckles chuckled, finding useless to argue with the assassin. "Because he invented something that could be revolutionary...something that could stop me. I'm not going to let that happen now...can I?"

The assassin flipped the next photograph over to reveal a woman with a yellow-furred body and white fur from her collarbone to the top of her and short white hair. She appeared a lot like Sam I Am with a name written under the face that read: Ava.

"Why did you kill her?"

"What is this...an interrogation? Get me out of here."

"Not unless you answer the question, sir."

Jeckles groaned irritably. "Because she's a loose end. She's from Spillsberry...just like me. I had to get rid of traces of Spillsberry. Now...get me out."

"One. More. Question," The assassin growled as he flipped over the last photograph, causing Jeckles to pick it up.

Jeckles chuckled. "Aren't you going to ask me why I killed her?"

There's silence while Jeckles sighed.

"She's stupid, that's why. I wanted to take her son and--"

He suddenly heard the gun cocking, his eyes widening in final realization. He whipped his head up to notice the barrel of the pistol pointing between his eyes.

"Checkmate," the assassin, with a voice that was familiar, snarled and pulled the trigger. The cops rushed into the room and checked the situation, only to find that the infamous Jeckles Abbot was dead.

                                                                                                   ~.~

As Michael said, everything went back to normal. Three months had gone by. No more Ghosts chasing our fellow heroes...no more Jeckles Abbot reigning terror among everyone in the world. All is peaceful. Gluntz moved from Dewhill to Glurfsburg so that she could get closer to her job as the B.A.D.G.U.Y.S.

Gluntz unpacked her last box while wiping the sweat off of her brow in a warm sunny day. She glanced at her new watch and widened her eyes in shock.

"Oh crap! I'm going to be late for Initiation Day!" Gluntz shouted while bolting to her car, rushing off with her uniform on. She drove through Glurfsburg to the B.A.D.G.U.Y.S. She got out of the car and zoomed through the building, anxiously.

She sat at the back row outside in the courtyard while watching the person talking on stage about the 'new recruits'.

Oh yeah, today's Initiation Day! Where new recruits joined the B.A.D.G.U.Y.S force. Luckily there are three new recruits.

Gluntz noticed Goat, Michael, and Jean on stage, cheering for them like a proud mother which caused the three to chuckle. However, she noticed Guy, Michellee, E.B, and Sam were there supporting them too.

Guy's family headed back to Stovepipe Junction with Jeffrey owning a Mechanics shop with the help of his brother, Dave. The customers were booming and became a widespread phenomenon.

Guy still has his powers inside of him which he used it only at a time when it's either an emergency or someone needed help.

E.B. was planning out her treehouse when something on the tree was about to fall on top of her. Luckily, Guy noticed and caught the stuff with his mind powers. E.B. glanced up just in time to see Guy setting the stuff down. He sat beside her and looked at her blueprint for building a treehouse. Of course, it needed some improvements so Guy marked down all the ideas that could be built for her while Michellee brought out the tools to help.

And Sam had a job which could not have brought him more joy than it did.

There's a knock at the door and a purple-furred woman opened the door to reveal Sam as a delivery boy for Green Eggs and Ham.

"Green Eggs and Ham for Tasha?" Sam asked with a bright smile.

The lady nodded "That's me."

Sam handed her the plate of Green Eggs and Ham. "Enjoy them. They're good anywhere." He walked away from the house with a bag over his shoulder and a happy grin on his face.

Pretty much everyone lived happily ever after...the end...sorry...there's...wait...wait, there's more?

~.~

In the dead of night, the gray-furred short man with a blue suit named Hervnick Snerz sat alone in his cell while he heard footsteps approaching him.

"I see that you are looking for a new business partner, am I right?" Snerz questioned the mysterious person coming in.

"I believe we need more work than what it seems," The mysterious man answered. "Jeckles is dead. They removed one snake head."

"But if that snake's head is chopped off...it could regrow...right?"

"The heads will be doubled...that's for sure," the man responded.

Snerz smirked while folding his hands. "So...when will we start?" 

The End of Season Two.

Season Three will be out soon. 

The outro song is called Whispers in the Dark by Skillet.
