Plot: . With the universe saved by having Chicky Sullivan elected President of Earth instead of Cactoid Jim, a future, evil version of Jim is not so easily defeated. Evil Jim climbs out of a wormhole using unknowable future technology, which he has a lot of, and sucks Sparks Nevada, Croach the Tracker, present-day good Cactoid Jim, and The Red Plains Rider back through it. Chicky enters, just having given his victory speech, and realizes exactly what has happened. He notes Evil Jim also has a pencil-thin mustache. Jim tries to use some future technology on him, but it doesn't work on Chicky's bionic parts, who uses a repulser ray on him. Croach reappears, still sharing a consciousness with V'stalu of the Galaxium. With The Force Galactic at his whim, he is able to transport himself back to the present. However, he says he cannot intercede. Instead, he summons the galaxy's remaining greatest heroes, Pemily Stallwark, Ultra Admiral Miles Kaward and Mordecai Benmont Jiminy - the Barkeep. The Barkeep is very confused as to what he's doing there, while Miles and Pemily are itching for a fight. Croach tells the Barkeep that his heart's desire for peace that defines him as mighty. Kaward activates his Mega-Tek armor, and Jim dons his own robot armor, and they fight. Chicky teams up with Pemily to form a strategy to help defeat Jim. The Barkeep pleads with Croach to send him back to Mars, but Croach insists The Barkeep is a hero and belongs there. Chicky hacks Jim's robo-suit and sends Pemily inside to take care of Jim, but before she can make it in, Jim stomps on her and squishes her. Jim then peels off all of Chicky's bionics and kills him. Kaward beams mines into Jim's armor, but Jim averts the signal and puts the bombs on Kaward's armor instead. Kaward blows up. As the last remaining hero, the Barkeep implores Croach to help, but Croach insists he cannot. The Barkeep asks Croach to transfer the Force Galactic to him, as long as The Barkeep uses the power in front of Croach so he can observe. Croach agrees. The Barkeep uses the Force Galactic to keep Jim from doing any damage to him, and revokes all of Jim's powers as well. He then pulls Evil Jim out of Jim's body, and Good Jim shoots and kills his evil self. The Barkeep brings Sparks and Red back from the wormhole, then brings Chicky, Pemily, and Kaward back to life. He abuses his power a little by transporting everyone back to Mars and resurrects his saloon. Jim tells the Barkeep he did a good job, and found his place - the universe, and saw to it there won't be any more trouble in his place anymore. The Barkeep replies that his place is his bar, and with his new powers he'll make sure there's no more trouble in it.—Thrilling Adventure Hour Wiki
