==== Part 3: Shine On You Crazy Diamond ====
The three prisoners having taken inside the island fortress of the villains, and [[Jenny Everywhere#With Red Max and the Man With No Name|Jenny]] tied up to a pillar in the middle of their courtyard, from which uncomfortable vantage point she listens as the mastermind, [[Grandmaster Awndisk]], reveals his plan to her. He is the Grandmaster of the cultish [[Brotherhood of Universal Oneness]], who intend to fold all parallel universes into one, merging with all their parallel selves. To do this, they intend to abuse Jenny's own [[shift]]ing powers.

He is the Grandmaster of the cultish [[Brotherhood of Multiversal Oneness]], who intend to fold all parallel universes into one, merging with all their parallel selves. To do this, they intend to abuse Jenny's own [[shift]]ing powers.  


Awndisk, however, underestimated the crazy-preparedness of [[Red Max]], who has a C4 detonator concealed under one of his fingernails and a tranquiliser dart in his shirt collar, among other things. With Awndisk having stated that he needed Jenny conscious and rational for his plan to unfold, the Man retrieves the tranquiliser dart and manages to shoot it at Jenny, knocking her out, while Max activates the explosives on the beach thanks to his detonator, creating a distraction.

Jenny's consciousness finds herself in a “[[place between one world and the next (The Legend of Jenny Everywhere)|place between one world and the next]] where she is greeted by her long-dead [[Grandfather (The Legend of Jenny Everywhere)|Grandfather]] in full Native regalia, who gives her words of wisdom on her significance in the balance of reality, claiming that she was “chosen” by [[the Great Spirit]] to preserve the balance of existence. She returns to the real world supernaturally empowered with a bow made of energy, with which she shoots all the members of the Brotherhood one by one with the effect of making them “one with [[the Multiverse]]”. After she's done, the extra powers fade, and she decides to go for a beer with the Man and Max.

They do so at a pub in [[Edinburgh]], relaxing and trading stories. Max is the first to leave, intent on giving over some of the Brotherhood's tech to his superiors in substitute to Jenny's secrets. After a little more banter, it's Jenny and the Man who part ways, promising they'll meet again one day. As he leaves, the Man walks down a rainy alleyway, humming a song about Jenny to himself.

=== Background ===
When initially posting the story, [[Jack Harvey]] gave the following intro:
{{quotebox|Jenny's been previously mentioned here before, but if you want a quick catch up you can always visit here First original Comic, by me, posted here, Which will do for now until a proper website comes around.|Jack Harvey}}
In 2022, he added a note apologising for some stereotypical elements in the story, notably of Jenny's Native American grandfather.
{{quotebox|Note from Future Jack (2022): These comics are some of the first I ever put out, and as such, are pretty dated when it comes to politics and representation. I didn't hold myself to the same standards then as I do now, and as such some of the writing can come across as misrepresentative, stereotypical, and mean spirited.|Jack Harvey}}
