Gary and Clarence have another argument, though they don’t know what about.
According to Ash, the only way to settle a conflict is with a game of Thimbles.
Gary has no idea how to play that, but Little Cato claims to be Ventrexia's Thimble Elite Junior Champion.
The rest of the Team Squad gets dragged in as well; Gary and friends vs Clarence and his kids.
Since Gary isn’t much of an opponent, Clarence explains him the basic rules.
It’s a rather violent game, since one can score points by dismembering opponents.
Nightfall scores some points by blasting off Clarence’s fingers, but they simply regenerate.
When Ash rolls up her sleeve, it exposes a tattoo.
H.U.E. recognizes the symbol as that of one of the Dimensional Keys.
Gary deduces one of the keys must be on Serepentis, and asks A.V.A. for more information regarding the planet.
The inhabitants worship a fire serpent not from this realm. According to H.U.E., it is the worst place for a honeymoon.
But Ash absolutely doesn’t want to go back to Serepentis.
Gary tries to convince her she will be fine, but Ash is having none of it.
Little Cato gives it a try, and asks her what happened back when she lived on Serepentis.
Back in her youth, Ash and her sister Harp where brought before Werthrent since they had been chosen.
Chosen to be sacrificed that is.
Harp was the first to go, and was devoured by the wicked serpent.
Watchin her sister die triggered Ash’ powers.
She lashed out and accidentally killed her parents.
The was chased out of the temple by an angry mob
And ran into Fox and Clarence. She has been with them ever since.
When she realizes everybody was listening, Ash hastily decides to go to bed.
That night, Werthrent attacks the Crimson Light.
Ash tries to fight him off.
Except it’s not real; she is just having a nightmare.
Nightfall wakes her up. Ash has caused quite some damage.
She decides she needs to deal with the past, and thus agrees to go to Serepentis.
H.U.E., Fox and Nightfall stay on the ship, while the others go with Ash.
The place is quite unnerving.
KVN spots some Forever Balls, which he always wanted.
There is a long line of pilgrims waiting to be sacrificed to Werthrent. Estimated waiting time is 8 years.
So on Gary’s advice, KVN disguises himself as Sentella, the goddess of good fortune.
The Pilgrims fall for it and chase after “her”.
Unfortunately, KVN leads them straight off a cliff and they all fall to their deaths.
On the Crimson Light, A.V.A. detects an intruder.
They find him on the bridge, as he’s about to take off with the ship.
The guy explains he is about to miss his wedding, which Fox sympathizes with. H.U.E. offers to give their guest a bachelor party.
The pilgrims are all dead. On the flipside, KVN gets his forever ball.
The groom doubts if he is the husband his soon to be wife truly deserves.
Fox cheers him up. But also demands to be the best man at the wedding.
The group reaches the temple.
Ash tries to lure Werthrent out, since the dimensional key is inside him.
The wicked god appears, and refuses to return Harp.
Gary dares him to eat them all, and Werthrent gladly agrees.
The inside of Werthrent is a stone building, where all the people he ate are slowly being drained and turned into zombies.
They make their way to Werthrent’s hearth. The Dimensional Key is inside of it.
However, the hearth is guarded by an old man named Septim. To get past him, they must answer three riddles.
KVN reveals himself to be a great riddler, and easily answers the first two.
When asked by Ash, KVN reveals he knows thousands of riddles, since it’s his job to keep people entertained.
Not willing to let himself be defeated, Septim cheats and makes the third riddle a bunch of nonsense.
Enraged, KVN throws the Forever Ball at Septim, and kills him with it.
Little Cato rips open Werthrent’s heart and gets the key.
Werthrent dies as a result.
The team has to get away quick. Tribore asks Richard for advice. But he’s too busy with Dan.
Werthrent’s heart turns into a portal, and Ash orders the others to go through it.
Ash keeps looking for Harp, so Little Cato stays behind for her.
Ash finds Harp.
The portal takes the Team Squad back to the temple.
Harp is too far gone to save.
The fire consumes her.
As Werthrent dies, the ring around the planet vanishes.
And his remains rain down on the planet.
As Gary and Clarence fight over the key, Clarence accidentally swallows it.
Back on the Crimson Light, Little Cato tries to cheer up Ash.
H.U.E. practices darts in his room.
The groom is ready for his wedding, and Fox gets emotional.
Clarence retreats into the bathroom to get the key back.
The Crimson Light takes the groom to his wedding.
Unfortunately, Fox accidentally pushes the groom out of the ship while it’s still up in the air.
And he falls to his death, right in front of the bride.
