"Great. First, I round up four out of the six Joshes. Then, I lose them. This is really turning out to be a good day for me," Manik said as he sat on a park bench, thinking about his failure of a mission. He was unaware that he was being watched by Gamer Josh, Athlete Josh, Music Lover Josh, and Movie Buff Josh.

"Maybe running off wasn't such a good idea after all," Gamer Josh said.

"That's kind of what I've been saying, guys," ML Josh said.

"You all know what we have to do," MB Josh said.

"Surrender ourselves willingly," Athlete Josh guessed.

"Exactly. Come on." The Joshes then got up and walked over to Manik, who then looked up to see them all there.

"Guys, you came back."

"Yeah. We shouldn't have run off like that. We're willing to go with you," MB Josh said.

"That's good, but first we have to defeat Scholar Josh," Manik said.

"Oh, that'll be easy."

"How so?"

"Because, like Scholar Josh, we have our own kind of power," ML Josh responded.

"Like what," Manik asked.

"You'll see soon enough."

"Why are you always keeping things from me?"

"It's more fun for you to find out the moment it's necessary than before that very moment," ML Josh said.

"Now you definitely sound like Josh," Manik remarked.

"Thanks. Now we just have to find Scholar Josh."

"I think I know just where to look."

"Interesting," Scholar Josh said as he read through The Gift.

"He should be in here," ML Josh said as he, Manik, MB Josh, and Athlete Josh stood in front of the Station Square library.

"Good. About time we settled our score." Manik and the other Joshes walked in and immediately split up in order to better find Scholar Josh.

"They're here. I can sense their presence." Scholar Josh then put his book down on the table before getting up and disappearing into the bookcase behind him.

"Where are you?" ML Josh kept walking through the library, trying to locate Scholar Josh.

"You have all returned," Scholar Josh said, getting the attention of ML Josh, Gamer Josh, Athlete Josh, MB Josh, and Manik.

"You may have run the first time, but now you're coming with me," Manik said.

"Oh, I will, but you will have to defeat me first."

"I know. This time, I have the other Joshes to help me out."

"Very well, then. Let the battle commence," Scholar Josh said before he, Manik, and the other four Joshes disappeared in a flash of light.

Seconds after they had disappeared from Mobius, Scholar Josh, Manik, Gamer Josh, Athlete Josh, ML Josh, and MB Josh reappeared in a world far different from theirs.

"Where are we," Manik asked.

"In my element, of course. Where else would we do battle?"

"He has a point," ML Josh said.

"Indeed I do. Now, let us begin," Scholar Josh said before summoning five books to his side. He then laid them out in front of him seconds before they turned into hulking giants.

"Whoa! What the heck?"

"That's his power. Scholar Josh is able to manipulate any kind of book."

"Does that include...," Manik started before the fist of one of the giants came down close to him. Luckily for him, Manik was pulled out of the way by ML Josh before he could be crushed.

"No, it doesn't. You're lucky it doesn't," ML Josh said before unleashing a deafening screech of sound that tore apart one of the giants.

"Amazing."

"Just like Scholar Josh, we have our own powers. I'm able to manipulate sound."

"I can manipulate earth," Athlete Josh said before slamming his fists and creating a shockwave that brought a giant to the ground.

"And I'm able to create illusions to fool my opponents," MB Josh said before creating six copies of himself to fool the giant he was fighting.

"Impossible! Surely, you don't believe you can defeat me quite easily."

"Well, we do," ML Josh said.

"Then let's see if Manik can defeat me all by himself," Scholar Josh said before turning the other four Joshes into paper.

"No fair! I didn't prepare for this," Gamer Josh said.

"Don't worry. I got this," Manik said.

"Let's see if you have what it takes to defeat me and my minions."

"Oh, we'll see." Manik then rolled into a spin and tore through the rest of the giants.

"It seems you have quite a few skills. But I wonder if it will be enough to defeat me," Scholar Josh said before gathering the remains of his fallen soldiers and combining them with his own form. Seconds later, Manik was looking at Scholar Josh's enhanced form.

"I doubt you will be enough to defeat me!"

"I may not be enough, but I can try to defeat you," Manik said before going into another spin and aiming himself at Scholar Josh only to be knocked away.

"You are weak! You will never defeat me," Scholar Josh said as Manik lied in front of him.

"He may be weak, but he's not alone," Sonia said before she, Shade, Lara, and Dominic appeared in front of Manik.

"You came?"

"We thought you were punished enough and decided to help you out," Lara said.

"Good, because I might need your help with this," Manik said as Shade and Dominic helped him to his feet.

"You may have stronger forces, but even they won't be enough to defeat me!"

"We'll see about that." Lara and Sonia then morphed into action before bringing out their weapons.

"Let's see how you last against my fans and Sonia's arrows," Lara said before she and Sonia jumped off the platform they, Dominic, Shade, and Manik were on. They then used their weapons to vanquish Scholar Josh.

"No," Scholar Josh cried out as he and everyone else came back into reality.

"I must admit, you two truly bested me. I agreed I would go willingly and I shall. But be warned; the final Josh will be your greatest challenge."
