Lost Gods

Anansi saves the world, or he does not. The world ends, or it does not.

Anansi and his crew attempt to take out Pritchard and Daucina, but are surprised by Iktomi and Coyote, who lead them to the Neutrino Detector, a giant ball suspended 30 feet in the air, filled with radioactive water. Under Loki's orders, Coyote straps Anansi to the outer shell, but with a wink and a smile, he neglects to actually fasten the straps.

Using his powers, and a demonstration of his rather unique abilities, Anansi manages to convince the employees of the Sudbury Neutrino observatory that they need to help him if they want to live. Preparing them as best he can, he takes the elevator back to the surface, where the other gods await. They return, to face the ramshackle saviours of humanity.

Loki, Anansi, Coyote and the rest of the gods travel to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory to begin the end of the world. Fuelled by Loki's cruel taunts, Anansi promises him that he will not make it through the night alive. Loki laughs off this threat, and instructs Anansi to get down to the bottom of the mine shaft, overcome any resistance, and send the elevator back up. Changing into a cave spider, Anansi travels down and down and down, Loki's evil words his only companions as he descends down the barren rock tunnel to meet his fate.

The gods meet once again, and Loki outlines his plan to them. They will go to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, where they will have access to thousands of litres of heavy water, that is to say, nuclear material. Anansi is at first sceptical, but Loki assures him that his plan, a combination of both magic and science, will work.

Coyote and Anansi try to have a civilized dinner, but Kanene realizes that something is amiss and drugs Coyote. Anansi uses the Baron's hat and bones to transport them to the library, where they warn Judy. Thinking his friends are safe, Anansi is ambushed by Pritchard.

Anansi, Coyote and Kanene attempt to enjoy a nice dinner, perhaps their last on earth as we know it. Kanene shows that she is more then she seems, and incapacitates Coyote. They rush to the library and attempt to warn Judy, but are interrupted by Pritchard.

Anansi and Coyote take the final step in their con, but are interrupted by the man in black, who reveals his true nature to them. Coyote makes a shocking decision, one that changes the nature of the partnership completely.

"Anansi is kidnapped by Baron Samedi, who takes him to the crossroads and shows him two possible futures for Kanene; her dying a horrible death at a young age, or living a long and peaceful life. Anansi has a choice to make - join Iktomi, or lose Kanene forever.

Coyote and Anansi escape from the police station, and manage not to kill anyone, but just barely. Coyote suffers from a crisis of confidence, but is brought around with words of encouragement from Anansi. The partners uncover unsettling information about both Judy and Prichard, and Anansi is visited by his nameless attacker.
