Orcana Base, Mount San Antonio

Inside the Orcana Base, Bill was in a room with icy walls and a metal octagon platform with blue lights around it. Frazil came waiting for him, drawing his blue plasma blade.

"Bill Perkins, I presume?" Frazil laughed his evil laugh. "I can't believe you came this far, just to fail." Bill drew his red plasma blade.

"Come at me!" Frazil shot an ice beam from his plasma blade, while Bill shot a fire beam from his plasma blade. The beams collided and eventually cancelled each other out. Bill swung at Frazil with a horizontal swing. Frazil parried the attack. Frazil countered with an ice blast. Bill used a fire blast and swung his red plasma blade forward, but Frazil blocked it with an ice shield. Frazil attached his blue plasma blade to an ice chain, and swung it at Bill, but Bill countered with a fire beam, burning the chain and destroying Frazil's plasma blade. Frazil countered with an ice beam.

"Wait a minute!" Frazil warned. "Would you let your brother die?" Bill started to recall that Frazil's head of hair looked like that of his brother, "Crazy" Ed Perkins.

"You're Crazy Ed Perkins!" Bill recalled. He called off his fire blast.

"That name means nothing for me anymore." Frazil grumbled.

"Do you not recall when we were younger, and we played in the snow?" Bill started to jog Frazil's memory.

"Those memories are irrelevant!" Frazil roared as he got angry. "I only became like this because I fell into a lake of 50 below zero-degree water and my body got stuck in permanent sub-zero temperature." Bill got an idea.

"Perhaps I can warm you up!" He went to Frazil and used his fire powers to warm Frazil, thawing him out.

"What are you doing to me?" Frazil screamed.

"I am thawing you out, and let Crazy Ed be crazy again." The blue cracks of Frazil's skin began to chip off, revealing normal human skin. Frazil's icy hair shattered, revealing normal brown hair. His face began to shatter, revealing a human face. Frazil's icy skin melted, and Frazil was dead and Crazy Ed came back to life. The red alert sounded on the radio.

"What should we do?" Bill asked.

"We should leave!" Ed answered. "Follow me to my Penguin Hybrid Fighter!" Ed led Bill down the hallways, while debris was falling behind them. When they arrived at the hangar, they got in the Penguin Hybrid fighter and flew away.

"Where are we going?" Bill asked.

"We're going to the Imperial Palace." Ed answered. "It's time to finish off Oswald once and for all!"

Meanwhile, in the Saurian Capital of Versailles, Julian met with the Saurian king, Mr. Raphael Van Babineaux, an elegant man with shaved black hair and a mustache, wearing a monocle. He wore a black royal uniform with a red sash and a red crown.

"If this is a peaceful negotiation of a surrender, then the House of Babineaux refuses such matter." Raphael pulled out his sword. Julian's royal guard came pointing guns at Raphael. Unfortunately, they were ambushed by Pike, Emma, T, and Penny. Penny drew two laser guns from her holsters and shot at the royal guards. T picked up his crowbar and smashed the guard's heads in. Julian fired sound blasts, but Emma dodged them and tried to stab Julian, but he released a sound blast that split her lungs. Pike ran to her, trying to save her.

"Emma...No!" Pike cried. "Listen to me, Emma, Listen to me!" Pike was both angry and sad that he had lost his best friend Emma. "Dammit Emma, why did you have to die, there was so much we could have done!" He kneeled over and started to cry a river of tears. They rolled down his eyes and onto the ground, while Julian looked at him, laughing at him. Julian shot several ice blasts, icing everyone to the walls.

"Now comes the time where I claim Sauria for my father the king!" Julian was ready to unleash his ultimate sound attack at the king to kill him. He was charging up.

"Once this is over, I will be king and Sauria will fall!" He charged up his attack. "Anything you want to get off your chest before you die?"

"Yes." Raphael said. When Julian was charging up his attack, he was shot in the chest mid charge. The man who was holding the trigger was Raphael himself, and he was holding an old flintlock that shot a laser blast into Julian's heart. He fell over and died. Everyone was released from their ice prisons, seeing the ice melt.

"We did it...we won!" Pike said sadly, having to cope with the fact that Emma was dead.

It was a sad day at Emma's funeral. On the Barceloneta beach in Barcelona, Emma's body was being carried away in a boat. Pike was using an RC possessor to operate it. He sailed the boat out in the middle of the ocean and pressed the detonator to blow up the boat.

"She's gone, and I will never see her again." Pike was sad to see Emma go.

"She's gone now, and there's nothing you can do." Penny said to comfort Pike. "She died as a martyr for a noble cause, the cause of saving Sauria." Pike looked up at the celebrations around. People blew horns, shook cowbells, and banged on drums, but Pike did not feel the same way. Eventually he began to smile, happy to know that Emma had died as a martyr for the Rebellion.
