With the five keys in their possession, the Team Squad is on its way to Sector 12, region 6, where the entrance to Inner Space is.
But the main question is; should they free Bolo? Gary is unsure, and doesn’t want to make another mistake.
As Little Cato gives Gary advice, Sheryl suddenly walks into the room.
The whole team draws their weapons in case she tries anything.
Tribore admits that it was him who freed Sheryl. Because she complimented him on his fashion.
Sheryl again claims Bolo is evil, and that she won’t let Gary stop her from seeing John again.
Fox knocks her out before she can hurt Gary. Gary orders Tribore to lock her up again.
The Crimson Light arrives at the sun in the Orion Nebula, but there is a level 9 solar storm raging.
Gary won’t wait however, and prepares to once again lightfold into the aperture.
But the solar storm isn’t the only problem. Another ship is following the Crimson Light.
And evidently, the ship’s pilot is hostile as he opens fire on the Crimson Light.
Little Cato volunteers to man the turret pod and take care of the attacker.
But hesitates when the sees the pilot of the other ship is Avocato, still possessed by Invictus.
At the brig, Tribore claims they need Sheryl’s help. She could be a valuable asset in the upcoming fight with the Titans.
He is convinced he can get her and Gary to make amends, using deep, deep, deep, deep, deep brain-ial therapy.
After several tries, Little Cato finally gets a lock on Avocato’s ship.
And with great reluctance, he takes the shot.
Bullseye; Avocato is out of the game, for now.
Gary lightfolds into the aperture.
And pulls it off again; welcome back to Inner Space.
Tribore has Sheryl taken to the Virtulazium. H.U.E. gives her a hyper-link bypass into her cerebral cortex.
The Virtulazium recreates the day John broke up with Sheryl, and she grew to hate Gary.
The Crimson Light sustained quite some damage. The lightfold engine, drop drive and video arcade are all offline. Gary asks Little Cato to fix the engines.
While he, Nightfall and Mooncake go to talk with Bolo.
When Gary asks Bolo about Oreskis, he reveals that he was once in a relationship with a female Titan named Jill before Invictus appeared, but she cheated on him with Oreskis and got infected with a Titan STD.
Gary decides to trust Bolo. Bolo informs them Mooncake is needed to free him. And a sixth key; a sacrifice.
Tribore calls Sheryl out for blaming Gary for everything. He was after all the product of her and John’s love.
To make his point clear, he shows her the life she could have had if she and John never broke up. Or even if she had simply stayed around.
Sheryl begins to feel regret, but claims it’s too late now.
H.U.E. points out she can make new memories. John is gone, but she still has Gary.
Sheryl breaks out of her cuffs, and accepts.
Gary is not pleased that one of them has to die to release Bolo. Bolo justifies not telling them before with the fact that Gary wouldn’t have come back had he known this sooner.
And if they don’t free Bolo, Quinn will die.
Gary nominates KVN to be the sacrifice, but alas; as a robot, KVN does not qualify as life.
More trouble; Avocato made it to Inner Space as well.
He attacks Gary, and knocks him off the Crimson Light, onto Bolo’s prison.
Help is on the way; the whole Team Squad, including Sheryl.
Sheryl and Tribore go first.
Avocato defeats them both, so Fox tries it next.
Invictus is simply too strong, so Nightfall urges Mooncake to free Bolo while Invictus is still distracted. She will be the sixth key.
H.U.E. and KVN are up next, and fare about as well as the others.
Avocato uses them to take out Ash as well.
Mooncake doesn’t want to kill a friend.
Nightfall insists however; hopefully this way, there will be at least one universe in which Gary and Quinn end up together.
Little Cato is also taken out.
The keys line up.
Gary pleads for Nightfall not to go through with this, to no avail.
Mooncake blasts the keys, and Nightfall.
Bolo’s prison begins to break apart.
As Nightfall dies.
Seeing Nightfall die sends Ash into an unstoppable rage.
She unleashes her full power on Avocato.
And drives Invictus out of him.
Bolo is free.
Gary mourns the loss of Nightfall. Bolo assures him her sacrifice will not be in vain.
Avocato is himself again, though he is naturally confused about what happened.
Gary is glad to have his friend back.
Now that Bolo is free, Inner Space begins to fall apart. Bolo orders the Team Squad to return to their ship.
The Lightfold Engines are still offline however, so A.V.A. can’t take them out of Inner Space.
Good thing they’ve got the best pilot in the universe. Sheryl makes it clear she will be there for Gary from now on.
Little Cato will try to fix the engines again. He is so happy both of his dads are with him now.
The Crimson Light speeds for the exit, with Bolo close behind.
When Gary has trouble dodging the debris of Inner Space, Sheryl takes over the controls.
They won’t make it in time, so Bolo grabs the ship and throws it towards the exit.
It works; the Crimson Light re-emerges from the sun.
And so does Bolo.
Bolo calls the Arachnitects. He asks them to send him and the Team Squad to Final Space to take on the Titans. And Invictus.
It will be a one-way trip, since the Arachnitects will seal the entrance behind them. The Team Squad is ready however.
The gate is opened.
Next stop; Final Space
They arrive at Quinn’s location.
Gary immediately leaves the ship to get to her.
Reunited at last
But the fight has just begun. Invictus is awaiting them.
