Two days later ...

It's the final day of Walker's time limit. Ulrich, Mira, Anthony, Edo, Cole, Robert, Andrea, and Serena are stepping up to the plate today. They're already on their way to the Login.

Anthony: "Let's show this cybernetic birdbrain who's boss!"

Ulrich: "Cybernetic?"

Serena: "You'll uh ... you'll see when we get there."

Look: "Now you're just making us more curious!"

Edo: "We can't go spoiling surprises just yet."

They stroll up to the Login.

Cole: "Just wait and see."

They all prepare for their departure.

Meanwhile ...

Walker is beginning to panic. Currently Ulrich and Mira are only fighting Rank 5, not even halfway there while Walker's time limit nears it's final moments.

Walker: "Is my suicide the only way to save the world?"

Walker looks out his window.

Walker: "Put Shining Hope in a living hell? Caleb without a family? This company spiraling back to square one?"

I have punches the window.

Walker: "Damn it all! What the hell do I do ?!"

A short while later ...

Everyone is currently riding their boards on the ocean with a sense of curiosity overtaking the newcomers.

Ulrich: "So you're STILL not going to talk about why you said cybernetic?"

Andrea: "Just wait a liiiiittle bit longer ..."

Their boards tip upwards.

Look: "Wh-What ?!"

Edo: "Going up!"

They zoom into the heavens at breakneck speeds.

Ulrich: "Where the hell are we going ?!"

They can see the stars as they rocket towards a city glowing with a rainbow of lights on the moon.

Cole: "We're heading for the moon!"

Ulrich / Mira: "WHAT THE HELL ??? !!!"

Anthony: "Hell yeah! We got 'em!"

They arrive at the edge of the city, with Ulrich and Mira looking like they just witnessed the end of the world.

Serena: "Uh ... are you two okay?"

Look: "(dazed) Yeah ..."

Cole and Robert snap the two back to reality.

Robert: "Hey uh ... we have places to be remember?"

Ulrich: "O-Oh yeah, Rank 5."

They walk into the vast wasteland before them.

A good while later ...

The heroes are coming up to a large crater in the moon's surface the size of a half dozen football fields with an arch leading inside.

Edo: "(twirling pistol) Looks like we've got our arena."

Cole readies his cannon.

Cole: "Robert get our front guard all set?"

They all ready their weapons as they step inside.

Andrea: "Let's see just how tough this thing really i-"
