And it all started with a visit to Whole Foods.

The...rather crazy 5th episode.

Due to meeting Satan himself, Z-Squared is chased by a group of huge fanatics known as the 'Disciples of Satan', all of which are determined to get him to join their group. Eventually, he, the followers, and Sir are put into a teleporting misshap. Among the characters that get chased around with them (with each world they visit) are Squidward, Meta Ridley (who is one of the Wattersons of Amazing World of Gumball fame), and Yvietal. Through Bikini Bottom, Elmore, Faroboro, and the Hall of Legends, the chase goes on until Sir sends the group into orbit, killing them. Everything is sorted out after that.


  • A Rare Sentence: How does Meta-Ridley explain what's happening to his son?
    "Um, nothing, Gumball! Just a bunch of inter-dimensional freakshows who apparently are being chased by a crowd of people who had just acquired some traditional farming equipment to possibly un-alive them. Just another Tuesday."
  • Artistic License – Biology: Z-Squared is right. IT would be impossible for you to breath under water.
  • As You Know: Sir has to remind Z-Squared how the teleporter works. Thankfully, this is mentioned once so far in the series.
  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Yvietal is actually surprised that his partner, Xerneas, actually missed him. Well, maybe she did.
  • Batman Gambit: Knowing the Disciples will take the first chance to get them to sign the paper, Sir says there's a 'signing room'. It's actually the airlock.
  • Big "SHUT UP!": Sir, Z-Squared, and Squidward give the Disciples one near the end.
  • Blinded by the Light: The colors of Faroboro burn everyones eyes. And for good reason.
  • Breather Episode: This is after Satan reared his head and before the first major arc. Z-Squared even calls it this.
  • Chase Scene: A good chunk of this. The music even helps.
  • For Want Of A Nail: All Z-Squared wanted was to get some groceries, not meet a bunch of crazy Satanists.
  • Freak Out: Z-Squared has one near the end, wanting no more teleports.
  • Group Hug: The Wattersons have one when Meta-Ridley comes back.
  • Humiliating Wager: Not really humiliating, but Mr. Freeze had to polish the swords of the brothers after he lost a bet.
  • I'll Kill You!: Sir ask Meta-Ridley if he has any weaponry to 'kill them to death'. He's slow as to why that's funny. Later, the phrase is said as the trope demands by the dragon himself.
  • It's a Long Story: The teleportees have some explaining to do.
  • Jump Scare: Meta-Ridley's sudden appearance sends Squidward hiding in the bushes.
  • Oh, Crap!: Z-Squared has this reaction when they find themselves in Bikini Bottom.
  • Oxygenated Underwater Bubbles: Sir gives Squidward a water variant to survive on land.
  • Product Placement: Whole Foods, again, and an I-Pod.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: A short one from Meta-Ridley to The Problem Solverz.
    "Your show sucks. Plain and simple."
    • Sir also admonishes the Disciples for their mundane plan.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Meta-Ridley's eyes are either red from his blindness or his unforgiving rage against The Problem Solverz.
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Z-Squared decides to get the hell out of Dodge when the Satanists keep pestering him.
  • Signature Sound Effect: The 'BZIT!' of the teleporter makes it's appearance known here.
  • Shower of Awkward: Sir, despite not having a physical body, needs a shower. Z-Squared just happens to come at the wrong time.
  • Take That!: Against Stephanie Myer's romantic tastes.
  • Teleportation Misfire: Happens FOUR TIMES.
  • Tranquil Fury: Z-Squared when asking Sir what the hell was up with the teleporter (which was responsible for the Satanists getting into the Headquarters).
    • Also, Meta-Ridley when he fires a gun at The Problem Solverz.
  • Wicked Cultured: Megatron is reading a book all about Ghengis Khan.
  • What Does This Button Do?: The leader of the Disciples causes the whole mess thanks to this.
  • You Bastard!: Suicune is about to blame Darkrai for the sudden teleportation of our cast. Darkrai would love to be the culprit, though.
