Housepets!

Ok, ok, Sabrina, I apologize. Honest, ma'm. Now I know you are playing a part so that Pete doesn't suspect.
Because thanks to your plan to send King to Heaven, now he's back with the spiritual maturity, the strength, the knowledge, and the fate to turn the tide.
Well played, ma'm. *bows*
Just don't hurt Bailey too much. Please?

Standard celestial policy.

Yes, all of them.

(and that's terrible).

I see what you did there, Lex.

"Change the course of history" doesn't necessarily imply time travel.

Gavrilo Princip changed the course of history in 1914 without any time travel at all.

But without Ripple Proof Memory, how would you know?

Yeah but Gavrillo Princip only did that by pure luck, considering the planned assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand failed miserably.

Point is, it's a common figure of speech. It doesn't literally (or even figuratively) imply the ability to change the past.

And King, how could involve himself with Bahamut! Even though I've read tenfold different threads on the arcs I still don't have an adequate explanation! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE SO WHY AM I SO INVOLVED?!

The game is really being played in Bahamut's basement.

I notice a pattern in the magic stuff arcs.

Well, back to square one.

Then, there is another omnipresent existence that is way powerful than Bahamut.

We need to go higher.

It's about to throw down.

CityRedFox wrote:The "inflection" in alt text kind of bother me. Is it a "hint" or I just misunderstanding something?

It's just a joke. Putting the emphasis on a different word in the sentence can sometimes change the connotation subtly, but in this case Bahamut's just being silly.
King said, "Are you literally saying, "The power was inside you all along"?"
And if you read King's statement literally, you could take it to mean King is saying the power is inside Bahamut, though that is not what he meant.
So Bahamut replies facetiously, "No, the power was inside YOU all along." To emphasize that the power is in King.
King already knew that was what Bahamut meant and may be missing the joke entirely.
So he replies, "That's the same thing I said but with a different inflection."
Now Bahamut's just going to continue the joke for the joke's sake.
"No, that's the same thing I said but with a DIFFERENT inflection." To emphasize that the inflection was different, which is totally pointless and purely for the humor.

No, you mad impetuous fool, you'll break the fourth wall! Man Dog was never meant to travel to such realms!

Maybe he was sent back before anything happened and I think I hear the WHALING from others reading the comic from all the whale jokes

Plot twist: He's holding Bailey's fate.

Told youuuuu!

Wolfbane wrote:Plot twist: He's holding Bailey's fate.

I don't think he is. The watch/loop thing is two coloured and I think that's a clue. It's half Petes' color - Gold - and half Dragons' - Green.

It could still be King's watch...

Acritic2 wrote:So that whale had Cerberus get the watch (Which was King's fate) just so he could give it back to him??
Nope!!
I think I got it, Bahamut gave King a watch that looks like his fate so King could find Pete make a deal to trade his wife back for the "watch" (tricking him), and getting his life back the way he had it before minus the Pete issue.

That's a new watch/loop thing. It is, in no way, a golden pocket watch like King had before.

Oh really?

looks pretty similar to me.

King's going to sabotage the Cosmic Nerds, isn't he?

I want to see if the watch is now inscribed "Joel Zechariah Robinson" or "King Milton".

Fair enough. Heh, wouldn't it be a kicker if he's always had the key to defeating them actually in his hand?

gamepopper wrote:While I'd be just as mad as the rest of you guys about it being "To Be Continued", I'm okay with it because I feel even Rick needs a break from the whole heaven and deity for a while. Maybe there's a Spot interlude or a couple of one-offs, but maybe even a catch up with Peanut and Grape.

I would love to see that.

Welsh Halfwit wrote: Fair enough. Heh, wouldn't it be a kicker if he's always had the key to defeating them actually in his hand?

Some reason I imagined King using that watch to become a Power Ranger of sorts

My guess is that, as Argent suggested, he is holding his fate... King's, I mean, not Joel's.

Plot Twist: Bahamut IS Bailey

1 It's no big deal for a demigod to be in two places at once.
2 Bailey took the news that her husband used to be human very well. Perhaps too well.
3 The term beloved.

Yeah, only you can change the course of the things, King, and now you've got the motivation. Great last gift and lesson, Bahamut, finally you've given your help. King is back, ready to ruin the concluding of your plans, Pete! You won't expect that, Bailey won't be yours for still long time, and you're still who deserves to lost this perverse cosmic game. Sabrina did a great sneaky move to help King, but, what a pain to finally get it...
But, what about Fox? Probably he returned back to his bed, too...

Thats just........oh....ohhhhhhh! Of course! Heck she sould be an angel in disguise assigned to be born into Fox's family to live a mortal life and eventually encounter the destined game ender (King) but didnt expect falling in love and marrying him and in a last minute of pity offered herself to the game thus making the situation a whole lot more complicated and emotional for King.

A bit out there but anythings possible.

I'd be content enough if he kept his brand new, buffy looks

Well, unfortunately for him, without her (and without the buff look, too). They're all only a "state of the mind"... Anyway, I hope he'll have such luck on the real Earth.

I'm secretly hoping that when Fox returns to Earth, two new female dogs just happen to move into the neighbourhood and have a crush on Fox.

Fox wakes up with two friends by his side? Five words.

he isn't complaining, he's just wondering why it happened.

All this talk of the power being inside of King got me thinking, we need to adapt the lyrics to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLU1GfIIGLE

Bahamut is one or more of the cosmic nerds' parents.

The last panel here made me think that Pete and Dragon are brother and sister. Because only siblings would tease each other and react like that. XD
