As part of her plot to abduct [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]], Nowhere later intercepted Jimmy mid-time-shift and dropped him into the [[Black Sea (Family Business)|Black Sea]] that surrounded [[Nowhere Island]]. Swimming to shore, he wandered into the forest until Nowhere caused a pit to open beneath his feet. He stayed there for a period of time that a non-augmented human wouldn't have survived, until he was found by [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] and [[Lord Thymon]], whose quest to get to the [[Castle of Nowhere|centre of the island]] and rescue Sophie he then joined, learning from Thymon on the way despite Thymon's initial distaste for his amateurish abilities as a time-shifter. | As part of her plot to abduct [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]], Nowhere later intercepted Jimmy mid-time-shift and dropped him into the [[Black Sea (Family Business)|Black Sea]] that surrounded [[Nowhere Island]].

After being joined by [[Laura Drake (38167th Universe)|Laura Drake]] and [[Jenny Over-There]], the group reached the [[Castle of Nowhere]], where they were promptly taken prisoner by Nowhere, who went over her history with Laura and Jenny for Over-There and Thymon's benefit before explaining that this whole scheme was her grand revenge for what Laura and Jenny had done to her. Having adapted the [[Dimensional Consciousness Maximizer]] into a [[Identity Dispersal System|new device]], she intended to turn Sophie into an incarnation of Jenny Nowhere by force. She then activated the machine, but it did not work as expected due to Sophie's self-confidence, bolstered by her parents' love throughout the day, far exceeding Nowhere's angst-ridden willpower. While Nowhere's mind took over Sophie's body, Sophie's own mind, instead of being erased, took possession of Nowhere's vacant one. | After being joined by [[Laura Drake (38167th Universe)|Laura Drake]] and [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]], the group reached the [[Castle of Nowhere]], where they were promptly taken prisoner by Nowhere, who went over her history with Laura and Jenny for Over-There and Thymon's benefit before explaining that this whole scheme was her grand revenge for what Laura and Jenny had done to her.

Breaking down crying due to the combination of her failure and of this new body's immature brain chemistry, Nowhere-in-Sophie's-body agreed to switch back after Sophie volunteered the knowledge her original name back to her (having, in her past but the relative future, been told by Jenny and Thymon, who remembered these events, to travel back in [[meta-time]] to find it out). She took off, gruffly admitting that Everywhere had “won this one”. Having realised that the whole of Nowhere Island emitted a shift-cancelling aura on its own due to being itself an incarnation of Nowhere, the group rowed out to sea from the Island to get out of the shift-cancelling era, and Jenny Everywhere then shifted everyone back home.
