(Back on Earth-838, Abdo was taken by the robots, and a variant of Omar was watching. )
Heavy Metal (Earth-838 Omar): That explains it. So that energy surge was from ABDO 2.0's variant arriving. Heavy Metal speaking. I've uncovered the cause of the energy surge that you detected. Withdrawing now.
Dynamite (Earth-838 Nawaf): Acknowledged.
Heavy Metal: (thinking) So there's a variant of ABDO 2.0 who landed here. Worrisome, I must say. If ABDO 2.0 figures out the massive energy that enabled his variant to travel into here, he might inflict the same agony on other worlds. I must not let that be.
(Heavy Metal arrives at Resistance HQ, where his strike team is waiting)
Battery (Earth-838 Huraib): What is it?
Heavy Metal: A variant of ABDO 2.0 dropped here. No doubt 2.0 would try to uncover whatever energy brought his variant here. We can't let him know a thing.
Bomber (Earth-838 Badr): You don't mean [pauses]?
Heavy Metal: Afraid so. We must rescue ABDO 2.0's variant, and that means knocking on his front door.
Battery: We can't take such a risk!
Heavy Metal: I understand, but if ABDO 2.0 acquires that power, then our chances will be miniscule. It's now or never.
Bomber: If so, then what are we waiting for, HM?!
Dynamite: Let's go already!
Heavy Metal: Battery?
Battery: I guess we're going with this.
Heavy Metal: Glad we all agree. Now let's get going!
(Heavy Metal and his team begin infiltrating ABDO 2.0's main fort, the Anjal Fortress, keen on rescuing Abdo. Meanwhile, back with Omar and his friends...)
Huraib: Omar?
Omar: Not now, Huraib. Can't you see I'm trying to fly this thing?
Huraib: Yeah...about that, can I try?
Omar: Hard pass!
Huraib: Please?
Omar: No!
Huraib: Pretty please?!
Omar: NO!!!
Huraib: What makes you drive this spacecraft, anyway?
Omar: It's the kind of stuff the leader must take care of.
Bader: I beg your pardon?!
Omar: Don't look at me like that! I AM the leader!
Huraib: Only the smartest get to be leaders!
Nawaf: Guess that rules you out.
Bader: I'm the coolest one here, which automatically makes me the leader!
Omar: (sarcastically mimics Bader) "I'm the coolest one here; meh meh meh meh meh meh"
Bader: You think YOU could be a leader?!
Omar: Better than you!
Nawaf: (mimics a formal tone) I hereby implore you to halt that trivial quarrel, for you must know that the worthy leader is...ME!
Omar: The only thing you can lead is a one-way trip to oblivion!
Nawaf: Well, I've seen chairs with more charisma than you!
