Later that night, in the battleship, Gnasty Gnorc has let his guard down by dozing off while on the job, allowing the prisoners to try and break out of their cell, but with no luck.

Big Norm, who was attempting to dig through the wall with a spoon, quietly grumbles to himself and whispers, "Whose bright idea was it to not have a shovel or pickax stowed away?"

Oxide whispers back to him, "Well, don't look at me. Liz is the one with that kind of equipment!"


Meanwhile, as that's going on, Pinstripe and Tawna are lying in bed, with Tawna's clothes torn and thrown about the floor of Pinstripe's bed chambers, giving the heavy implication that Tawna was the victim of a sexual encounter from Pinstripe, who is fast asleep like a baby and has his arm wrapped around Tawna's shoulder.

As Tawna lies in bed with Pinstripe, wide awake and shaking with fear, she thinks to herself, "That creep! First, he has his way with me against my will, and now he's going to feed poor Brio to the very creature that he was forced to create, whatever it is. I can't let that happen, not after all the suffering they put him through! I got to get him out of here tonight!"

Tawna quietly removes Pinstripe's arm from her shoulder, places it on his chest, and slips out of bed completely naked. (No nudity is shown from her; only her bare upper back as she sneaks over to Pinstripe's wardrobe) She searches through his wardrobe and pulls out a pair of onesie undergarments and one of his signature green polo shirts. After getting dressed, she begins to quietly sneak out of his room, grabbing the keys to the dungeon as she leaves.

She opens the door to his bed chambers, looks around to see if there are any guards patrolling the halls, and quietly slips out once the coast is clear. She then follows the main stairwell of the ship down to the dungeon. As she descends, she quietly quips to herself, "Ugh! Why does this rat have to wear his underwear so tight?!"


Sneaking into the dungeon, she looks around for any sign of N. Brio, before noticing a door leading to a giant sacrificial pit. Taking the keys, she quietly unlocks the door and sneaks in.

"N. Brio...!" Tawna quietly whispers as she sneaks into the pit. "Are you in here?"

"Tawna!" N. Brio whispers, getting Tawna's attention. She sees Brio chained to the wall and races over to him as Brio continues, "You came to rescue me!"

Tawna grabs the keys and unlocks Brio's shackles, freeing him. She whispers to him, "You're darn right I came to rescue you! I'm not about to let those jerks murder you like this! Especially when the thing killing you is the very monster you were forced to create!"

"Oh, thank you!" Brio happily whispers to her as he gives her a hug. As they hug, Oxide, with the other prisoners in the neighboring cell, looks through the bars of the door and sees them.

"Tawna! What are you doing?" Oxide whispers to the two of them, getting their attention. "They're going to throw you in here with us if they catch you!"

Tawna and Brio approach them, with Tawna whispering to Oxide, "I know, but I'm not about to take that chance. I'm busting you all out right here, right now."

Oxide smiles and whispers to her, "Now I see why Crash loves you so much, my dear. You never give up on anyone."

"Aww, thank you." Tawna happily whispers to Oxide with a smile on her face. She grabs the keys, but fumbles and loudly drops them by accident.

"Shhh! Keep it down" whispers Big Norm. "You don't want to wake up that big green buffoon guarding us!"

"Too late." Gnasty Gnorc loudly calls out. Everyone spins around and sees that Gnasty Gnorc has been woken up by the sound of the keys dropping. He pulls a lever, activating the alarm system.

"Aw, crap." Big Norm moans.

"Go!" Oxide exclaims to the two of them. "You and Brio have to get out of here quick!"

"No! I'm not leaving without you guys!" Tawna exclaims.

"Don't worry about us. We're going to be fine!" Oxide reassures her, before he hears the sound of Titans approaching. "Now, go, before the guards catch you both!"

"Got it!" Tawna says as she grabs Brio by the hand, the two of them exiting through the way they came in.

Gnasty Gnorc notices the two of them darting towards the staircase, growls and turns to the prisoners, saying to them, "You all stay right where you are! I'll be back to teach you some manners!" He leaves and starts to chase after Tawna and Brio.


As the alarm continues to sound, Tawna and Brio have made their way to the uppermost level of the battleship. "Quick! Which way do we go?" Brio frightfully asks Tawna.

Suddenly, the two of them hear distant roaring from down below. They look over the edge of the balcony and sees Gnasty Gnorc and an army of Titans charging up to the main level.

Tawna looks around and sees an exit, leading to the bow of the ship. "This way! Quickly, Brio!" she shouts as the two of them head for the exit. They get out and are stopped in their tracks as they reach the edge of the bow. Cornered, and seeing the Titan army approaching fast, Tawna frantically looks around for a way down before spotting a ladder next to Brio's feet. Likewise, she also spots a convenient box of rations and supplies. She grabs several bags and starts to pack whatever she can grab.

"Tawna, quickly! They're getting closer!" Brio fearfully exclaims to Tawna.

Tawna grabs the bags, hands them to Brio and points at the ladder, telling Brio, "Go! Hurry, Brio! You have to get out of here and find Crash!"

"But, aren't you coming, Tawna?" Brio asks as he climbs onto the ladder.

"I wish I could, but I can't." Tawna replies. "Pinstripe will have every Titan in his army after me if I dare escape!"

Suddenly, Tawna hears the Titans drawing closer and urges Brio, "Go! Hurry! Find Crash! If you can't find him, then find somebody, ANYBODY to come save me and our friends! Quickly! You're our only hope!"

"God bless you for saving me, Tawna." Brio says to Tawna as he starts to climb down the ladder. As Tawna prepares to move, Apo-Apo suddenly appears in front of her and growls with glowing red eyes. Tawna yelps and starts to dart back towards the entrance, before being approached by Geary, Gnasty Gnorc and a group of Titans.

"Little late for an evening stroll, eh, missy?" Geary says as he approaches Tawna.

"Uh... no." Tawna fearfully asks, her eyes darting around. "Whatever do you mean?"

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were helping Brio escape, weren't you?!" Geary threatens. "You got some nerve!"

"I've got some nerve?" Tawna asks. "What is your problem, robot? Why do you and Pinstripe have to constantly mistreat us like this?"

"Oh, so you want to know the truth about why we did all this, do you?" Geary responds. "All right, then."

As Geary starts to reveal the truth to Tawna, Brio has made it to the bottom of the ladder. He prepares to get a firm foot on the ground and dismount, before hearing Tawna scream "WHAT?!" at the top of her lungs. This causes Brio to slip and fall flat on the ground. He shakes his head, looks up and says to himself, "Oh, that doesn't sound good."

Back on the bow of the ship, Tawna continues to shout to Geary, "THAT'S why you nuked the earth?! Really?! That is so selfish of you two!"

"Selfish?" Geary asks. "Please, we're not the ones that are being selfish here! It's our turn to get what we rightfully deserve!" He snaps his fingers and points to Tawna. "Take her away!"

"But, wait. What about that little scientist?" asks Gnasty Gnorc.

"Brio? Bah! What about him?" Geary replies. "He is of no use to us anymore! Take this filthy bandicoot to the dungeon! Our king will have a few words with her in the morning!"

Gnasty Gnorc grabs Tawna and throws him over his shoulder, holding on to her so she can't get away. Geary continues, "And get her out of those clothes! If she's going to be a prisoner, she needs to be dressed up like one!"

As everyone returns to the inside of the ship, Tawna screams, "Oh, you people are such sexist pigs! Just you wait until Crash gets here!"

Brio, conflicted, ponders on what to do next, saying to himself, "Oh, I hope she'll be okay..." He prepares to climb back up the ladder to help, before stopping himself, saying, "No! No, got to focus! Remember what Tawna told you. Go find help!"

He starts to head south away from the battleship, before looking back and saying to himself, "I hope you know what you're doing, Tawna, dear..." He proceeds to head into the desert under the inky black sky, determined to find any help he can.
