[[Jenny Everywhere#In the Infinity Apartment|Jenny]] notes that [[Thuban]] appears to have found himself a [[Blond-haired ninja (Infinity Apartment)|date]] and comments on how he is therefore doing better than [[Keith (Infinity Apartment)|Keith]] — whose ill-fated romantic dealings have got to the point where he is getting throwing-stars hurled at him. Thuban politely notes that the fact that he actually speaks Japanese might be helpful in this regard. | [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Infinity Apartment|Jenny]] notes that [[Thuban]] appears to have found himself a [[Blond-haired ninja (Infinity Apartment)|date]] and comments on how he is therefore doing better than [[Keith (Infinity Apartment)|Keith]] — whose ill-fated romantic dealings have got to the point where he is getting throwing-stars hurled at him. Thuban politely notes that the fact that he actually speaks Japanese might be helpful in this regard. | ||
====Strip 12: Unfortunately==== | |||
[[Jenny Everywhere#In the Infinity Apartment|Jenny]], [[ShatterScreen#In the Infinity Apartment|ShatterScreen]], [[Thuban]] and [[Ezri]] have been summoned to [[Universe D (Infinity Apartment)|Ezri's home universe]] to liberate the lands from the hordes of the villainous overlord [[Minrath]]. Being briefed by a [[Lady (Infinity Apartment)|Lady]], Jenny is stunned to discover that the “champion of prophecy” they are most keen to have on their side is not Jenny or even Shatterscreen, but “the Marked One” — Ezri. | |||
====Strip 13: Runes==== | |||
In light of this revelation, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Infinity Apartment|Jenny]] asks [[Ezri]] what the magical mark on her face ''is''. She explains that it is a magical [[Rune]], though she simply uses it to permanently change her hair colour to the familiar black and purple gradient (whereas her natural hair colour, which has “never felt right”, was blonde). Suddenly, she feels herself losing control of her arms. | |||
====Strip 14: Battle==== | |||
A sword magically appears in [[Ezri]]'s arms just as she is swarmed by villainous egg-like creatures called the [[P-Unda]]. | |||
====Strip 15: Quinn==== | |||
After spending some time smothered by the [[P-Unda]], [[Ezri]] is wrenched free by a wandering knight called [[Quinn (Infinity Apartment)|Quinn]]. | |||
====Strip 16: A Test of Strength==== | |||
Meanwhile, [[ShatterScreen#In the Infinity Apartment|ShatterScreen]] has wandered off and is arm-wrestling a [[Giant (Infinity Apartment)|Giant]]. | |||
====Strip 17: All Hallows' Eve==== | |||
In an illustration seemingly detached from the ongoing story, the main cast of the [[Infinity Apartment]] are seen having dressed up as various characters for [[Halloween]]: [[Keith (Infinity Apartment)|Keith]] is dressed up as [[Harry Potter]], [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Infinity Apartment|Jenny]] as ''Pokémon''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> [[Officer Jenny]], [[Ezri]] as a generic witch, [[Thuban]] as [[Anakin Skywalker]] and [[ShatterScreen#In the Infinity Apartment|ShatterScreen]] as [[Superman]]. | |||
====Strip 18: Some Time Later==== | |||
Having made their way to his lair, [[Ezri]] and [[Quinn (Infinity Apartment)|Quinn]] meet the [[Dark Lord]] [[Minrath]] himself. To their surprise, Minrath, recognising Ezri as the Chosen One, suggests that they decide their contest through a game of [[Monopoly]] rather than risk either of their lives. | |||
====Strip 19: A Few Words==== | |||
In a strip clearly outside the narrative of the comic, [[Benj Christensen]] apologises to the reader for the fact that the current storyline will not be concluded directly, announcing instead a short break and the return of the comic in revamped form a short time later. | |||
