Back in Reality,

The Bolts are having a tough time fighting Bettman, Bergevin, Jimmy Vesey and Auston Matthews. The three bad guys keep zapping them with the weapons constructed from Vladdy and Yzerchuk's powers. Iceburgh keeps shooting out ice at the good guys, often freezing them in place temporarily, while Quennbow has the powers of the wind and causes debris to hit the Bolts, sometimes even knocking the Bolts into each other! Bergevin makes sure the Bolts stay on their toes, shooting fire at them from a burning flame.

The Bolts have one advantage over the bad guys: They have a lot more people! So, while the majority of the team fights, some members go off and start to save the hostages to add more! Being too preoccupied by the battle at hand, the bad guys never notice that some members are sneaking off to save them.

Brayden Point, Tyler Johnson and Yanni Gourde are the ones saving the hostages, while the rest of the team fights; Brayden goes for Jo and Dylan, while Yanni gets Otto and TJ - of course - handles his linemates, Nikita Kucherov and Ondrej Palat. TJ looks around and sees Jonne's ditched wig with bobby pins in it. He takes one of them and uses it to pry open the locks on the chains.

Nikita and Ondrej both hug TJ, tears streaming down their faces and TJ quietly says, "It's okay. You're safe now."

Nikita takes the piece of tape off of his mouth and says, "Thank you TJ. You, best."

TJ smiles at a job well done.

Yanni gets Otto untied from the chair, while Brayden gets Dylan Larkin and Jo unattached from the pole. They are quite successful, and each hostage is saved and freed from their bondage within minutes. But, as the hostages are being saved, the lights start to flicker in the room.

Nikita then yells out, "GHOST!"

Everyone in the room looks towards the entrance to the room and they see a ghostly figure. The figure has light blond hair that is slowly starting to fade to grey, and this figure holds a hockey stick while wearing a jersey with the number 99 on it.

TJ smiles excitedly and says to Nikita, as well as everyone else in the room, "Don't worry, I have a feeling that this ghost will help us."

The ghostly figure turns towards them, dipping his head. "I'll help alright. Some people need to learn a lesson today!"

The figure then starts to walk out of the room and into where the main battle is happening. Most of the Bolts at this point are lying on the ground, each with at least one burn somewhere courtesy of Bergevin, the torch, and stuck to the ground, courtesy of Iceburgh and Auston Matthews, and finally, Quennbow has caused them to fall on the ground to their current positions.

Gary Bettman starts to chuckle. "Well, that was rather easy. I thought you guys would give more of a fight than this pathetic effort."

Brayden Point, who has returned to the battle with Jo and Dylan after rescuing them from their perils, tries to stand up. "Just because you knocked us down, doesn't mean you win the fight. You'll never win!!"

"You fools! You can't even move because you're too weak!" He then yells out, "Matthews, Bergevin...how would you like to kill off some of your enemies?"

Auston Matthews and Bergevin start to laugh evilly.

All of the Bolts that are on the ground start to try and get out of the way of the three weapons, in fear of getting struck with one of them. All three of the bad guys point their weapons at the group of Bolts players, and Bettman smiles. "Prepare to meet your doom, Bolts! On my count...one...two..."

Suddenly, the weapons come flying out of the bad guys' hand and land in a pile at a ghostly figure's feet. The figure yells out, "Gary Bettman, this is the last time that you have caused trouble for any team! Prepare to face my wrath!"

Bettman turns to face this figure and grins darkly. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Ruler of the Hockey Gods himself, Wayne Gretzky. I thought I chased you away, because...I WON! Why are you here meddling in my business?"

Gretsky shakes his head in disbelief. "Your business? What you want to do with the league is just cruel! And killing your own players...that has enraged me beyond belief! You might have once won, but little do you know how much power I REALLY have! Prepare to meet your doom!"

"What's the worst that you can do? Slap me? Oh wait...you can't do that because you're a helpless ghost!" Bettman snaps. "Why doesn't your ACTUAL self come out of hiding for once and strike me down!"

Gretsky looks at the three weapons and then looks at the villains. He lifts his hands in the air, and the weapons start to float in mid-air. Everyone in the room widens their eyes, and the bad guys look at each other in fright. Gretsky then starts to walk closer to the body of Vladdy and smiles at him.

Bettman yells, "Matthews! Vesey! Bergevin! Stop him!"

Auston and Bergevin start to run towards Gretzky and instead, they are zapped with all three powers at the same time. All three scream as they are frozen in place by the power of the Ruler of the Hockey Gods.

Gretsky smirks at Bettman. "That's much better."

He puts down the weapons next to Vladdy's body and turns towards the commissioner, a smirk still on his face.

Bettman then starts to run at Gretsky in anger. "Why did you do that to my minions!"

Gretsky laughs in amusement as Bettman passes right through him. "It serves them right...and look at that, your punishment comes right on time...turns out you didn't actually kill the blond..."

Bettman turns to face Gretzky, ready to make another blow. But then someone else yells, "BETTMAN!"

The NHL commissioner turns to see Vladdy running at him at full speed, the three weapons being held in his hands. Gretzky just smiles and nods at Vladdy, who yells out, "In Yzerchuk we trust!"

All three weapons start to spin around as the pieces of the Nexus One start to form together. Gretzky smiles as he holds his hands up and directs that power back into the Nexus One, taking the power away from the three bad weapons.

"Vladdy, you know what to do!" Gretzky then howls.

Vladdy grabs onto Yzerchuk and points it at Bettman. "Yzerchuk, get him!"

A blue bolt of lightning comes out of the end of Yzerchuk and hits Bettman head on. Bettman yells out in pain, "Noooo," and then his body slumps to the ground. Vladdy keeps on the commissioner, unleashing a torrent of lightning non-stop at the man for five minutes. He is fueled by Gretzky, who temporarily fades in the air as he throws every ounce of his powers into fueling the weapon, not holding back.

Vladdy finally gasps and yelps and drops his sparking hockey stick. Gretzky stops and Yzerchuk sparks on the ground in a cool down, before morphing into the Nexus One hockey stick, while Vladdy nimbly walks over to the steaming body of the commissioner and checks the man's pulse.

"I...killed Bettman. Like Carle." Vladdy spins to Gretzky, tears in his eyes.

Gretzky walks over to the young man and puts a hand on his shoulder. "He rightfully deserved that. You're not a killer Vladdy, I commanded - through you - for Yzerchuk to kill him. It is the only way. But, I think that everything can be back to normal now."

The wise ex-hockey player then looks around and snaps his fingers and all of the Bolts who are frozen in place or burned are back to normal...well almost, since the wind magic messed up their hair.

Brett Howden sees himself in a piece of shattered glass and freaks out. "My hair looks like a mess now!"

Jonne takes a shot right back at him, "All of our hair does! Can't you live for the rest of the day like this? It looks like the morning after getting drunk."

Everyone in the room starts to laugh at the antics that are starting, well, all except for Auston Matthews, Jimmy Vesey and Marc Bergevin. Those three are frozen solid in three separate pieces of ice and Wayne Gretzky snaps his fingers again, and the three ice blocks disappear into thin air.

The Bolts look at him in shock as he states, "I'll deal with them later."

Everyone is happy that there isn't any more murders in the NHL and they can stop living in fear, returning back to doing what they doing best: playing hockey. Thanks to Wayne Gretzky, Vladdy Namestnikov and Yzerchuk.

TJ, Ondrej and Nikita all surround Vladdy, who picks up his hockey stick from the floor.

Wayne Gretzky slowly fades from the scene, a smile on his face and a nod of his head to Vladdy. Good luck and I will get you a powerful bodyguard so that no one can mess with you and that stick anymore. He knows that the players will not believe that he has helped out, but one day, he will reveal himself. His real self.
