Line 48:
Kain's only purpose was to somehow remove a clone of himself from society by either detaining him or eliminating him (even though that was the last thing he ever wanted). His project was nearing completion when he decided to take everyone to the Alternapalooza festival (along with a clone of Kain's [[Sally_Kaine|dead wife]], who decided to take the unusual form of an altered version of Daria's appearance). Unfortunately, the Kain Clone had sent hired guns to silence those that were close to him (namely Daria and her friends). The crew managed to fight them off and flee the festival; however, just afterward a rocket launcher is fired into the crowd of spectators. The crew would not realize this until after they returned from the festival when, in a private meeting in the Principal's Office, Kain used his authority to give Daria, Jane, and Michael high school diplomas. They then raced back to the Morgendorffer's to hide from the police since, as told by a news report on the school's outside TV cable, Kain has been blamed for the Alternapalooza attacks.
 
After a lengthy argument with Jake and Helen Morgendorffer, Kain decides to shove everyone in the house (Quinn included) into the tunnels leading from Daria's closet to the garage of Kain's Estate. After a phone call, Trent, Jesse, and Reuben join them at the Estate, where they meet with Kain's close friends (and bodyguards), [[The Right-HandfulHandfull Trio]], who were speaking with Kain at the beginning of the series, but were given some time off to go on a vacation. After an anonymous tip, the police swarmed upon the Estate, but were held back by Kain's defenses. After getting a message from the computer in the basement, Kain asked everyone to help him move all his stuff into the craft his underground factory finished building a week before the series began. They took off at the end of the day, destroying the Estate and leaving a 3/4-mile deep crater in the ground (Jake and Helen are dumped in a parachuting escape pod just over their house). The ship uses the only afterburner fuel to make a single burst towards New York, where Kain's Clone (Now named [[Kraxus]]) has set up a criminal empire.
 
During the trip to New York, Daria and Trent (after much bickering from Jane) spent some time in a garden aboard the ship where they meet [[Jackyl: The Parrot Asshole]], Quinn decided to sit down with a few back issues of Waif in the Library (She would later get around to reading a real book), Jane observed a few paintings Kain has collected (and drew), and Kain prepared for the carnage ahead by using the same cloning device to amass a small battalion. The group reached New York, and everyone split off to see the sights while keeping an eye out for PrestonCorp International, the dummy corporation behind the criminal empire. After many follies (and oddball crossovers), the group converge upon the business skyscraper where Kraxus and his own followers are waiting for them. A gruesome battle ensues, even though the only mortal casualties are Kain's and Kraxus's soldiers. The battle ends, but Daria is in a coma. Daria recovers, but only at the moment when Kain and Sally sacrifice themselves to blow up the PrestonCorp building with Kraxus and his loyal minions.
