The air was cold yet breezy as cries of anguish, anger, and battle echoed throughout the mountains.

The heroes rushed to the aid of both Prince Leo and Zak.

But just as they reached them, their main vehicle was under fire.

Dozens of rockets and bullets were shredding the shield of the Cradle, but it was still holding on.

Across the battlefield, hundreds of knights took cover from a massive array of gunfire.

The soldiers were getting decimated one by one, but Jordan swooped in and wiped the gunmen out.

His counterattack allowed Leo's men to regroup over the ridge.

Jordan returned to Leo as he was welcomed with an open hug.

"Jordan, it is good to see you," he said.

The two shook hands afterward.

In the distance, a couple of shooters continued firing upon the injured knights till a vast volcanic explosion melted them.

Zak went down from the treetops, melting all the tanks of the bunch and caused them to explode.

He then saw Jordan in the distance and smiled just slightly.

Meanwhile, the Cradle destroyed Norrix Kane's tanks, sending his soldiers running deep into the forest.

Everyone rejoiced as a moment of recluse happened, for today, they had pushed back Norrix Kane's forces back.

"Thanks for the help; I'm sending some of my guys to establish perimeters around the area; we'll be safe for a while, " Prince Leo said.

Jordan nodded as he returned to his crew.

Looking up at the Cradle, it looked riddled with dents and bullet holes, but it still held up in the end.

Finn hopped out of the tank, exhausted, unlike Raiku, who was still anxious for another battle.

"How's the Cradle?" Jordan asked them.

Answering his question, Finn took a step back from the Cradle, examing the damage.

"It's not looking good man, it took quite the hit earlier; I can fix it up for sure, but it won't be able to be complete without that Blacksmith's Belt," he explained.

Jordan looked at the Cradle once more before reporting back to Prince Leo.

On his way back, Zak had grabbed in and shoved in one of the tents.

He gave him a concerned look, one that Jordan had not seen on the face of his commander.

"Jordan, I need your help, Prince Leo sent Randy and Carla to patrol the south end of the mountains, but they never came back; I'm starting to get worried," he said to him.

Confused, Jordan replied, "Are you sure? Maybe they're out goofing off or something?"

Zak pulled out his scanner, revealing Randy and Carla; their indicators read "Unresponsive."
