-In the abandoned library, a portal opens, tossing Kelia out with the Mallory's. A group of kromagg soldiers lead the group into a walk in closet, with a bright light inside.

"great, I guess we know whats going to happen soon"

"hopefully someone will help"

"who will that be, everyone we know is either captured or dead!"

"Colin, calm down, I feel the same about this situation. But with the kromaggs in the lead, we can't do anything" Quinn says

"well things should of been fixed long ago. We may be at home, enjoying the day, but no, dad had to screw it up, by making the 'maggs angry!"

"just hold on there! We had no choice, they killed millions of our race, and they wanted to rule this earth. Our government was crumbling, if we didn't take action, look at what might of been future. You could of been sliding for decades, and then find out we're dead!"

Near the alley way, Joe loads his gun, "are you ready to go out there?"

"sure. Just one thing, what do we do after taking the ship over?"

"we find the 'magg pilot and force him to take us up. Or we'll shoot him. Ryan, you have to believe me. I don't want my life fucked up because these 'maggs want us dead"

The 2 head out into the open, firing at all the targets. The kromaggs fire back, but most of them are dead. Suddenly, a 'magg is able to get back up and shoots at Joe, hitting him in the shoulder. Ryan fires his weapon, killing the 'magg. He runs to Joe, "are you ok?"

Joe aganizes over his pain, "lets go, just help me to the ship"

"your bleeding real bad, we need medical help"

"what about ripping one of your sleeves for pressure"

Ryan agrees, with ripping his sleeve off, wrapping it around Joe's wound. They get moving, and board the ship. Ryan helps Joe to an area, where they stop and see the pilot on the bridge, setting coordinates to another world. Ryan comes out from hiding, heading to the 'magg, pointing a gun towards the 'magg's head, "lets get ready to leave"

-In another prison, the group is taken to cells, Wade takes a seat on a bunk as Kody is pushed in. When the cells are closed shut, the soldier states that Kolitar will decide their fate soon, then the soldier exits. Wade gets up and looks across to see Doug sitting there alone, head down, with tears in his eyes, "Doug, don't worry, we still have hope that someone will save us" Doug looks to Wade, smiles, then turns his head back down.

In another part of the city, Mr. Dansforth and Jacob see that the kromaggs are no where to be found, "we have a chance to set this detonater and kill some kromaggs"

"we probably better activate this somewhere high"

"how about this building, it looks high enough"

Back at the manta ship, Ryan has Joe keep his gun on the kromagg as Ryan and the 'magg load the fuel cell in the cargo hold; they finally set it down, "ok 'magg, lets get this thing flying"

"you know human, you never will get away with this"

"we'll just have to see won't we maggot" The kromagg activates the controls, closing the hatch, and the ship lifts off, heading in a north direction.

Kolitar meets the Mallory clan in a study, "I guess we better get this over with. I hate you all, or actually I should say, I hate all of humanity"

"you know that if you do this-"

"don't try saying crap like that Liz Mallory. Nothing will happen if I do this. By the way Michael, I have a friends heading to the slidecage to reopen it, for my dynasty to come home"

Back upon the roof of the building, Mr. Dansforth sets the counter to activate the fuel cell in 5 minutes.

"we better get moving, we may too could get killed if we're in the way"

The 2 take off, running down the flights of stairs, and heading back towards the forest area.

In another prison, Laura and Sara sit, "I guess we can say, we're screwed"

"not if the others realized what happened, and know what to do with the fuel cells"

"One problem, the kromaggs may own one of the fuel cells, since they can't be that dumb for not looking, to secure the area"

"I have an idea, to get us out of here. Before we left Mr. D's world, I figured that we may get stuck in here"

Sara pulls out a vial from her pocket, "this liquid will eat through the bars, then we can bend them, and we can leave"

"good, then we can have a chance to possibly help the others"

The 2 women exit the cell, but don't realize they are being watched. They find an exit, but as they head to the outside, 2 'magg soldiers stop them in their tracks.

"where do you think your going humans?"

"no where, just a little fresh air was all we needed" Laura comments.

Above them, in the air, a manta ship, carrying Joe and Ryan, detect them, "lets land there now!"

The kromagg is reluctant to help, but Joe continues shoving his gun into the 'maggs neck. The manta ship lands as several kromagg officers stare, wondering why it has landed. The landing hatch opens, Ryan, Joe and the 'magg being held hostage exits. Ryan tells the kromaggs surrounding them with guns to let them have the women freed. A 'magg soldier tells Ryan he's a foolish human and hopes he likes pain. Sara and Laura are given to the guys.

One 'magg near them, points his gun at Sara, "you plan on shooting her. Well then go ahead, I wouldn't mind kill this thing as well as many of you" The 'magg backs off, and the group returns to the manta ship as the hatch closes quickly.

7 manta ships arrive a few seconds later, with Kelia, Maggie, and Colin aboard one of them. She contacts the ship on the ground, Joe starts talking,

"I think we better make this right. We go free, and you can slide off this earth forever"

"you male humans seem so right to have things done your way. I don't think so, if you take off, we'll be on your trail fast as ever, and we have weapons to attack with. By the way, as of this moment, 89 million 'maggs are entering this world, even as we speak, so you better pray now"

Ryan forces the 'magg to shut off the communication screen, and to start the ship up.

Back in the library, Kolitar continues his plans, "well since I hate long good-byes, I plan to take you out to an old kromagg soldier post, and you all will be murdered by a firing squad. Guards, get in here and transport these friends to the ship!"

The Mallory clan is then lead out of the room for their fate.

Mr. Dansforth and Jacob arrive in another area not occupied by the kromaggs, then the explosion occurs, knocking 9 manta ships out of the air, crashing into the ground, with the ships exploding.

"I think its best that we try to find another hide out, and try to reopen the slidecage for the 'maggs to leave" Jacob states.

"this time I must disagree. If we reopen the cage, millions of more kromaggs would arrive. Maybe if we open a portal, sucking the ships into it, they would end up somewhere else. Thats an idea, send the kromaggs to the same world I sent the virus's to, and easily close the cage, then deal with the rest of the kromaggs"

"our main problem, is Kolitar, and if he's still alive, there is hell to pay" The 2 take off, running farther back into the woods.

The manta ship takes off, and Kelia follows with her fleet of ships. The kromagg is forced to fire upon the ships, the damage isn't that successful, then the kromagg gets up from his post, attacking Joe with his knife, and sliting him on the face, which starts bleeding. Ryan and Sara try to get to him, but the kromagg has activated a shield in a corner of the ship.

"get the hell out of there!"

"sorry humans, I'm done with the job, its your problem, I can't kill my own species"

"your rejects, not a species!" the kromagg activates a device on the wall, creating a portal, another ship fires upon them, and it shakes the ship, tossing the group to the floor, but when Joe and Ryan have gotten up, the vortex closes.

"damn it, now what?"

"I think if I can deactivate the shield, we also can slide out of here, then the ship can crash land somewhere"

"I'll handle the ship until then" Laura sits down, loading torpedos, launching them towards the manta ships, she is able to destroy 3 of the 6 ships; Kelia's ship fires back several more weapons, and it fries the launch system.

"this is just great, we can't fire any more torpedos!"

"almost done" Sara checks the wires out, then Joe uses the knife on the floor, the 'magg left behind, to cut all the wires.

"I guess that could work too" Sara returns to where the kromagg was at, she is unsure how to activate the portal machanism.

Out in the desert, the Mallory's are taken and lined up in front of a firing squad, hands tied up, "well Michael Mallory, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm getting teary eyed" Kolitar laughs, then has the kromaggs prepare to fire.

"dad, I'm sorry for earlier, I didn't mean to say it was your fault, I just hate to see the kromaggs winning"

"don't worry about it Colin, I love you, even though our reunion was short. I will always love the both of you boys"

"me too, I'm your mother til the end"

"we might still get out of this"

"thats nice to say Quinn, but I doubt your friends are hovering over us in a manta ship"

Quinn turns his head to stare at the wall, then has a flashback (from Luck Of The Draw) when he nad Wade are sitting by the log and Wade tells him that this world would be a great place to live and raise kids, since it was so quiet in the woods.

Back on the manta ship, Sara can't figure anything out, then Laura returns with the ship on auto pilot, "fine, let me take a look at it.

Laura pushes a few buttons and a lightning bolt comes out of the wall's panel, opening a portal, "lets go"

"wait, I need to send this crashing down" Laura returns, locating a kromagg base, the manta ship takes another hit, and it over loads the systems. Laura returns to see the portal gone, along with everyone else, the manta ship starts going down, "I guess this is it for me"

Back down below, the soldiers are aiming, ready for the command, when the manta ship with Laura on it, is coming, "no time to deal with the humans, let them die when the ship crashes.

Kolitar forces his soldiers out and a few seconds later, the manta ship crashes, exploding, taking out the post, and everything nearby.
