Yung-Star and It-Star remain sitting by the burnt-out fire in the custody of Sergeant Major Zero and Zeroid 18. The night begins to dim as the temperature drops significantly. Yung-Star begins shivering. The prisoners are bored, waiting to be taken away.

Yung-Star:

Ugh. Brrr. It's getting very cold. Can we have a blanket to keep ourselves warm?

Sergeant Major Zero:

You stay right where you are, Yung-Star. And keep nice and quiet.

It-Star:

Don't worry. We will do exactly as you say. Knowing that we are beaten.

Yung-Star:

How can you say such a thing? You're talking as if they've defeated us. Wait until we see what mother has planned for the stinking Terrahawks.

Sergeant Major Zero:

That's right. You and your little friend there are going to tell us everything we want to know about what you are, where you come from, and how we are going to put an end to you once and for all.

Zeroid 18:

Hudson will be arriving in deux minutes, Sergeant Major.

We see Hudson racing down the passageway to come and find the Zeroids and their captives before we return to Zero and the others.

Yung-Star:

How can one of your crafts be able to reach us from here, when all of you're petty little machines were all thrown into the battle to be destroyed by my mummy?

It-Star:

Because, bone-brain, has it ever occurred to you that they may have more than one aircraft they may use?

Yung-Star:

Don't start with that attitude again, otherwise I'll do another fart.

It-Star:

No. My Uncle. Not again.

Yung-Star:

I can't stop it.

It-Star tries to get away.

It-Star:

No. Don't.

ZAM! ZAM! ZAM! ZAM! BOOM! They miss It-Star. Smoke pours around Yung-Star who is now covered in black soot from the explosion.

Well, looks like you really let one off, my Uncle.

Yung-Star tries to recover from the explosion. Hudson arrives and slows down to meet with the Zeroids.

Sergeant Major Zero:

Well, Hudson. We have two of Zelda's accomplices we've found. Take them inside, and see that you are escape proof from letting these troublemakers out.

Hudson:

A pleasure, sir.

Sergeant Major Zero:

Alright you horrible lot, inside. At the double!

Yung-Star and It-Star get inside and make themselves comfortable in their seats.

Yung-Star:

Ooh. This is nice. Very posh. And much warmer. Got any grantie crunches to pass the time?

It-Star:

This must be the ride that the accursed clone must travel in to get from A to B. Well, Hudson, Heuristic Universal Driver with Sensory and Orbit Navigation, where will our destination be?

Hudson:

Back to Hawknest for your containment. I wouldn't recommend attempting to break out or try to take control of my command program. I am a fully automatic intelligent vehicle and will respond only to Dr. Ninestein's or the most senior member of the Terrahawks organisation in his absence.

Zero jumps up on his perch. Zeroid 18 arms his gun at the prisoners, watching them continuously.

Sergeant Major Zero:

Quite right. Any attempt of deception, and 18 will finish you off.

Zeroid 18:

Oui, mon amis. My arm remains loaded.

Hudson begins driving away, accelerating as the car speeds along the remote track.

Sergeant Major Zero:

What is our ETA to Hawknest, Hudson?

Hudson:

At speed ultimate, I will be arriving back to Hawknest within the hour.

Hudson continues speeding off...
