In the Intermission, Spades Slick and the Midnight Crew fight their rivals The Felt. These trolls say they have seen that the kids will fail and die. Some strangers have been trolling the kids, claiming to be from another universe and another game session. But the portals also send people to different times on Earth: paradox-cloned babies who grow up to be the kids and their ancestors before the Reckoning, a group of exiles after the Reckoning, and a doglike First Guardian who is now Jade’s pet. The redirected meteors cause a Reckoning that wipes out life on Earth.

Skaia sends the meteors through portals to strike Earth instead. Jack Noir defeats Prospit, kills Dream Jade, and shoots meteors at Skaia. The key to Noir’s rise, and at one point the only check on his power, is a heavily-armed robot bunny siezed by Derse on its way from Jade to John. Rose and Dave’s dreamselves live on Derse, which attacks Skaia from beyond the Veil, an asteroid belt.Īrchagent Jack Noir of Derse emerges as the villain of the game after killing his own queen and king and terrorizing the Battlefield in Skaia. In their dreams, John and Jade have dreamselves that live on Prospit, which neighbours and defends Skaia. They are challenged to work together, kill monsters, learn punch-card alchemy, and build their houses up to the heavenly orb of Skaia.

On John’s thirteenth birthday, the kids play a game that takes them and their guardians to a set of fantastic worlds called the Medium. John, Rose, Dave, and Jade are online friends.
