We open back up to reveal the Rimpas on their home planet. The Subterrains have also taken control of the Rimpas, and Kasak and Josiah are against the wall with their arms raised. A Savox miner, still under the control of the Subterrain, points their weapon at them. He speaks in a slurred voice. Two Subterrains plot schemingly with one another.
Kasak:
You have betrayed us. Our entire people. The Rimpas. And the Slumpas. We were on the edge of finding a final solution to end this conflict.
Subterrain 1:
Quite so. A pity that it has now gone all in vain.
Josiah:
What do you intend to do to us now?
Subterrain 1:
Simple. We have two immense power blocks under our own fingers. And your miners have proven to be excellent slaves. Isn't that right, Savoxian?
Savox Miner 1:
Yes, Master!
Subterrain 2:
And who are your enemies now?
Savox Miner 1:
The Slumpas and the Rimpas.
The Subterrains laugh again.
We shall begin to take your fine crafts and launchers to wage war across the galaxy and bring the universe to annihilation.
Subterrain 2:
And all those who withstand our way of a glorious victory will be swept aside as easily as the dirt that is the World Space Patrol.
Kasak:
It was all too good to be true for you to become the goody-goody two shoes you claimed yourselves to be. Why do you hate the Earthmen so much?
Subterrain 1:
Many moons ago, Steve Zodiac and his crew captured our Chief from Planet 46. And they forced us to fail in destroying the planet Earth. For that, they shall suffer the consequences with satisfying results. And this time, we will not fail.
Subterrain 2:
And we will recapture our leader and begin the full takeover of the universe.
Kasak:
We will never let you harm the innocent in our feud between the Slumpas. Never!
Josiah:
Besides, you don't have much of the Novax E7 to continue your games up for much longer. It will soon run dry.
Subterrain 1:
You do not realise at this very moment, that he is searching the galaxy where he can locate more of the E7 substance.
Subterrain 2:
And he will have no choice, but to hand it over to us.
The Rimpas continue to try breaking free from the ropes around them. The Subterrains keep gurgling their laughter at their hostages...
