Tobias and Giovacchino were standing outside of the dark castle that was Burdette's fortress. Formerly the Playboy Mansion.
"How do we get in?" Giovacchino asked.
"We sneak in." Tobias said. "Remember, this guy's omniponent. I've seen in action."
"But you know how to kill him." The cat said.
"Yeah, but the problem is that I'm not sure if I can do it." Tobias said. "Walker had the powers to do it."
"We'll find a way." Giovacchino said. "Let's get in there."

Outside of Time
"Come on!" Jake pleaded. "My friends need me!"
"No." Randy said. "What kind of battle would it be if someone wished for the forces of hell to disappear? Or a wish for the MBL to be reunited on Earth?"
"You want this war to happen?" Jake asked.
"None of us wants this war to happe." Randy said. "But we're bound to protect the space time continuum. And until we're sure you can't interfere, you're staying here with us."
"I'll find a way to get out of here." Jake said. "Somehow."
