Rasticore's motorboat finally is in sight of the island after a several hour boat ride. The waters around the island are far from calm. The island itself is a large, jagged and sparse pyramid like rock with a giant hole in it. It has searchlights and barbed wire placed almost all over its perimeter. The waters around the island are being patrolled by five Septarian Destroyers and a large Battleship. The Island is truly a fortress!
On the boat, Rasticore lets Marco and the group know they've arrived. All of them are horribly seasick, with Marco looking like he's on the verge of throwing up.
They come up with a plan: knowing it might be risky just putting the boat to shore, Rasticore and Marco agree to swim to the shore. Once at the base, Marco will hide while Rasticore meets with Toffee, pretending he's still loyal to the Septarian cause. This will give enough time for Marco to free Star and the rest of the prisoners inside. As that is happening, Ludo, Jackie, Chloe, Dennis, Tom, and Buff Frog will drive the motor boat next to one of the warships. They will then proceed to board it, knock out the crew with karate, and distract the rest of the fleet so they can all make their getaway.
Swimming through incredibly rough waves, an exhausted Rasticore and Marco make it to shore. The two then proceed to climb up to the base's entrance, with Marco struggling at times to catch up with Rasticore.
A few minutes later, the two finally reach the base's entrance. Marco quickly hides behind some crates for cover while Rasticore is greeted by a few septarian soldiers. The base is gigantic, easily able to fit a 747 jumbo jet inside. The base is also buzzing with activity! Septarian soldiers going over checklists, transporting missiles from one place to another, and doing maintenance work on the base and a few military helicopters.
Rasticore nervously explains away his absence to the curious soldiers by elaborating he just got lost while on a scouting mission around Mewni's West Coast. Meanwhile, Marco darts behind crate after crate to avoid detection. Once in the clear, Marco stealthy proceeds further into the base and toward the lounge area and the prison hall.
Outside, the motor boat has pulled aside the largest ship in the septarian Fleet - their Battleship. Using the ship's side ladder, Buff Frog boards the ship along with Chloe, Jackie, Tom, Dennis, and Ludo. There are only four guards on the deck, which Tom and Buff Frog dispatch quickly with ease ( and karate ).
Tom uses his hands to melt one of the ship's doors and they are now all inside the ship. Stealthily proceeding through the ship, the group successfully knocks out every last crew member and the Captain. Now at the ship's controls, Jackie is given the job of causing a distraction for the fleet. After looking at the complex control panel, she activates the ship's firework supplies. Hundreds of fireworks are now firing from the ship and into the air, distracting and puzzling the crews of the other ships.
Back in the base, Marco is now in the lounge area. Silently trying to look for the keys to the prison cells, he hears loud snoring and turns to find its source. It doesn't take long to find it. It's Toffee, sitting on a couch fast asleep in front on an enormous flat screen tv playing a soap opera. To his horror, Marco notices the keys are in the cup holder right next to Toffee. He also notices the Mewnian royal crown in the cup holder as well. Trying his hardest not to make a sound, Marco approaches Toffee and grabs the keys and the crown away. Marco, keys in hand and the crown in his pocket, then darts behind another couch before silently proceeding to the prison hall.
A second or two later, a septarian Soldier wakes up Toffee and lets him know Rasticore is here. Getting up, Toffee proceeds and arrives at the Base's entrance to find a slightly nervous Rasticore.
Toffee scolds Rasticore and asks him incredulously where he's been for the past few days. Rasticore just gives Toffee the same explanation he gave to the guards. Unlike the guards though, Toffee seems less convinced but drops the matter and orders Rasticore to investigate the notable fireworks coming from the Battleship outside. Rasticore pretends to follow the order and leaves the base only to instead proceed slightly to the base's outside radar station. Once at the radar station, Rasticore destroys it and leaves the defenses of the base essentially blind.
