Terra Con Prime, after the fall.
Sheryl Goodspeed descends into the ruins of the Lord Commander’s old palace.
And steals the present day version of the Lord Commander’s Dimensional Key (after the Team Squad were denied to steal the past version).
Both Sheryl and the Team Squad have 2 keys now, with one still missing.
The Team Squad is preparing for Carnivolo Dinner, although Gary and Nightfall agree they have more important things to do.
H.U.E. is just happy to be invited, and even made his first greetings card. KVN offers to sign it.
Clarence opens dinner by inviting everybody to lavish praise on each other.
But Clarence’s dismay, nobody praises him. A.V.A. however finally admits the likes H.U.E.
Even his adopted kids neglect him, with Fox actually praising KVN over Clarence.
Fed up that nobody praises him on the holiday he invented, Clarence disowns Fox and Ash and storms off.
Humiliating himself on the way out.
Once he is alone, he breaks down.
Then Sheryl calls and asks Clarence if he thought about her offer. Clarence decides he will take it.
Later, Clarence summons everybody to the bridge, claiming to have found a Dimensional Key. He also apologizes for his outburst earlier.
He claims a contact of him named Horace will wait for them on the Darga Space Port, at the Drilling Factory.
H.U.E. has heard great stories of Darga Space Port. He and Mooncake plan a night out.
Gary tries to shake Clarence’s hand to thank him, but Clarence bites it instead.
The Crimson Light immediately heads for Darga, where according to A.V.A. “all things are possible”.
Clarence won’t come to the Drilling Factory. He claims he has 2 tickets for his favorite singer.
Fox would like to come, so Clarence asks him to get the tickets.
Once everyone is gone, Clarence disables A.V.A.’s security protocol and takes the keys. When A.V.A. objects, he deactivates her.
Mooncake and H.U.E. begin their night out with a shopping spree. H.U.E. has his eyes set on a fancy hat.
He doesn’t have enough dropnoids to pay for it, but Mooncake alerts him to the Battle Royal; a fighting match for robots, with the grand prize being 10.000 dropnoids.
The other bots participating are far more advanced than H.U.E.
Despite Mooncake’s encouragement, H.U.E. is hilariously outclashed.
Which actually works to his advantage; the other robots ignore him and take out each other, leaving H.U.E. as the last robot standing.
And thus the winner.
As Clarence sneaks off with the keys, Fox unexpectedly returns and catches him in the act.
Clarence snaps, admits he made up the whole concert, and that he has found someone who loves him.
Fox demands Clarence drops the keys.
Clarence electrocutes Fox with a taser.
Fox collapses, and bumps his head in the process, giving him a severe head injury.
The others meanwhile find out the Drilling Factory is a brothel, and there is no-one named Horace waiting for them there.
With his last strength, Fox drags himself to the bridge and turns the power back on.
With communication back online, Fox warns Ash of Clarence’ betrayal.
Ash hurries back to the ship to help Fox, while Nightfall, Gary and Little Cato go after Clarence. Gary sends KVN to go with Ash.
H.U.E. demands his price money, but it seems the ring announcer has other plans.
He claims the money is being kept safe on top of the tallest tower in the space port. H.U.E. has to go get it.
When H.U.E. gets to the top floor, he finds some shady types waiting for him.
The announcer’s name is revealed to be Ziznack. And he wants H.U.E. to take back the loot these criminals apparently stole from him.
As a gunfight begins, H.U.E. grabs a suitcase, and he and Mooncake jump out the window.
Then the police arrives.
H.U.E. uses his stretching arms and legs to descend from the building.
Only to find more police officers waiting for him on the ground floor.
Nightfall, Gary and Little Cato find Clarence.
But Clarence has some surprises; he rips off his skin, which was a skin suit apparenly, and reveals himself to be a snakerat.
Ash and KVN find Fox.
Ash uses her powers to get him into in infirmary.
Fox’ mechanical life-support system is shorting out, and A.V.A doesn’t have the material to fix it. Ash can’t believe Clarence would sink this low.
KVN recalls the good times he had with Fox and Ash.
A.V.A. needs Tritanium to heal Fox, so KVN sacrifices his falanger, at the cost of losing his sanity.
It works, Fox is stabilizing.
While KVN is mentally de-stabilizing.
Chucky catches up with Clarence, and Gary and Little Cato have to jump. Gary doesn’t like having to leave Chucky.
Gary lands on Clarence’s car and demands the keys.
Clarence jumps out of the car, forcing Gary and Little Cato to follow.
As they corner him on a train, Clarence sheds another skinsuit and reveals himself to be an insectile alien.
In this body, he can fly. He easily escapes Gary and Little Cato and makes his way to Sheryl.
Then he sheds the insect skinsuit too, and revels his true form, which is identical to his first skinsuit.
He gives Sheryl the 2 Dimensional Keys. She in return reveals she knows the final key is on Rugaro
She however wants nothing to do with Clarence, and rejects all his avances.
She coldly tells Clarence it’s his own fault he sacrificed everything, and takes off.
When Gary and Nightfall catch up with him, Clarence admits the whole plan in hopes of regaining their trust.
To no avail; Gary has enough of Clarence’s backstabbing and leaves him behind.
At the tallest building, H.U.E. gives up the briefcase with the 10.000 Dropnoids. The officer recognizes it as the stolen loot from the Zirdoninix Robbery.
Mooncake and H.U.E. are promptly declared heroes for retrieving the stolen money, and given the planet’s highest honor.
They receive medals, and a reward of 50.000 Dropnoids.
And to top it all off, the hat H.U.E. wanted the money for in the first place.
For Gary things look much bleaker. He feels he failed Quinn.
The team got hit hard; they all need a win.
They will get the Dimensional Keys back.
Then Gary remembers he forgot something; to return Chucky.
Sheryl and Todd have quite a head start; the Happy Place is already at Rugaro.
Using the Nymerian Cube, Sheryl contacts another Titan which she is apparently working for. He has promised her to get John back in return for the Dimensional Keys.
