In the third book of the series we find Festering Festus, the evil demon lord and sworn enemy of the companions, on a campaign to overthrow the SOOPER. Losing his case in the Consistory Court, Festus plots his revenge. He intends destroying every ledger in Tobias Bachup's keeping. This will have the effect of removing all history from every living entity that has ever been, is now, or is yet to be. The Supreme Overlord of all Psychic entities has no choice other than to ask Theo and the four, as yet unfledged, companions to once again take on the might and awesome fericity of the evil one. This time though, losing the fight is not acceptable as this will mean the end of their very existence. Festus uses everyone of his evil troops in the effort and once again places young Charlie in extreme danger. In the process Freddie discovers that other companions reside in other space/time continuums and suddenly doesn't feel quite so alone as his was.
