Briar and the boys find the Thunder Spear, activate it, and fire it at the Titan with full force.

The Earth Titan screams in agony, "GAAAH!" And knocks the Titan with full force.

The Earth Titian then falls clear into the pit.

"Yes! We got it!" Briar says.

"We knocked that Titan clear into the pit!" Epel says.

Vil is surprised to see their victory, "We... won? We actually won?"

"We most certainly did!" Rook happily says.

The four happily give each other a hi five, "ALL RIGHT!"

"You did it everyone! You beat the Titan!" Sereia happily says.

"We sure did," Briar says.

Trinket happily hugs Briar by her cheek in relief.

Just the Navi on the spear says, "Thunder Spear battery low. 10% charge remaining. Please place in charging station."

"One use and its battery is spent? Not very energy efficient, I see," Vil says.

"Considering the power of the blast, that's to be expected," Rook responds.

Then Vil says, "We can't be sure where the next charging station will be. Best stay here and top it up before we go."

Vil and the others then place the Thunder Spear at the charging unit and the Spear begins to charge. Soon, a timer appears on a screen above the Spear.

"Oh, a timer's popped up. I believe it's showing the time to full charge," Rook says.

Seeing the time, Epel is frustrated, "Argh, but we're in a hurry here!"

"I should point out that we did not seem to land a decisive blow on the Titan," Rook says, "I doubt that was enough to slay it."

"I was just thinking the same thing," Vil agrees. "As that one technician said... We don't stand a chance against the Titans without the Thunder Spears. Waiting hours for it to charge is frustrating, but it's too risky to proceed without it. We're exhausted from our battles as it is. I say we rest until it's finished.

"I'd like to check in with the other teams on our transceiver as well," Rook says.

"I think you're right. Plus, we still have ways to go before reaching where Idia and Ortho are," Briar says.

"So I guess taking a break is the best we can do at this time," Sereia says.

"Indeed. It's best we wait until the Thunder Spear is charged up and move forward," Vil says.

Suddenly everyone hears a loud sound, catching everyone off guard.

Vil asks, "What was that? Another Phantom?"

Embarrassed, Epel says, "Uh... That was me. Sorry.

"What?!" Vil asks, shocked, "How could someone's stomach make such a noise?! I thought the Titan had come back!"

"Sorry about that, sir... Heh heh heh," Epel says and giggles with a flustered face.

"Heheheh," Rook giggles.

Even the girls begin giggling, "Ahahaha!"

"What's with the giggle fit?" Vil questions.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking that no matter what, you're always so...you," Rook says.

Then Rook finds a cabinet containing food, "It appears they store food in this hangar as well. Why don't we borrow some to appease the Titan in Epel's stomach?"

That simply makes everyone laugh.

Briar says, "That's a good one, Rook."

And with that, the gang decides to rest and have something to eat as the Thunder Spear charges.
