The ball of light hit the Dark Horse and immediately engulfed everything and everyone onboard. All they saw around them was a bright light and it felt like time had stopped. It seemed like there was no sense of direction. When it cleared, Thorton quickly scanned the area to find nothing had changed. Except now, a certain lieutenant and doctor were now hovering in the sky beside the pterodactyl and cats.

"It's over! Leave this place forever!" cried Justin.

"Not without a fight! This is my planet to control!" Hapar snarled back.

He began to advance towards the general, snarling as he went along when a bright light, accompanied with a crackle, landed at his feet. He glanced around to find that five figures now stood by the general's side. Hapar's stare turned towards his ship.

"Everyone attack! We are not going to leave without doing some damage first!" he cried out.

Several figures poured out of the ship on Hapar's cue and began to head towards everyone on board. General Thorton glanced to either side of him to find the cats hadn't left but the pterodactyl was nowhere to be seen. He also noticed that the lieutenant and doctor had disappeared as well.

"Stay behind us General. We can't let you get hurt," Justin told him.

The general said nothing as the sounds of guns being fired filled the air.

Tera carefully made her way through the hallways, Lieutenant Hunter and Doctor Slate hanging onto her back. He was surprised on how well she knew the ship, even after the fact that she knew everything about him and the Big Guy.

"So what just happened anyway?" Slate asked, finally breaking the silence between them.

"The prophecy came true," Tera simply replied.

She didn't bother to elaborate anymore as she burst into the hangar, much to the Pit Crew's surprise.

"Dino on deck!" cried Garth.

"Don't worry guys, Tera's known for a long time now," Dwayne told them. "Right now, we have bigger things to worry about."

"Like what?" wondered Jo.

Faint pounding noises began to come from above. They began to increase in intensity when one evidently landed above them.

"Does that answer your question?" the lieutenant wondered.

The three quickly nodded as Dwayne climbed into the cockpit. He waited a few moments, allowing Tera to climb onto the Big Guy's shoulder. He flew out to be greeted by the fire from both sides. Several figures from both sides already lay dead on the deck. Rusty was already there, battling against the alien troops. The boy robot briefly glanced over his shoulder to see that the Big Guy.

"Hey, Big Guy, I'm over here!" Rusty called out.

"No time to talk now sport. We've got an alien to defeat," Big Guy told him.

The Big Guy lifted his hands, revealing the guns on the underside of his arms. Tera flew off his back just as he moved his arms and immediately began to head towards Hapar. Rusty watched her before starting to head after her to help.

"Don't go sport!" cried the Big Guy.

"Why not Big Guy?" demanded Rusty as he managed to stop.

"There is something dealing with Hapar that only she can do but we should do our best to cover her," Big Guy replied.

Rusty stared at him with a confused look on his face but he soon shrugged his shoulders, forgetting about Tera she he continued to battle the aliens troops.

Tera flew after Hapar, who was slowly making his way out towards the open waters on board a hover board. He stopped about 100 feet away from the ship and turned to face Tera.

"You are no match for me. You have no experience compared to me," Hapar snarled at her.

"I can at least try for all the misery you've put me through," she angrily yelled at him.

Tera readied herself, expecting the worst as Hapar pulled out a weapon and fired.

Big Guy punched several of the aliens down to the deck, injuring several of them. Rusty took on many of the flying aliens as the personnel on deck helped. When the aliens backed off, Jewel made her way toward the front of the group.

"You will not win this! We will take over this planet, whether you like it or not and whether or not we have Tera to help us," Jewel yelled at them.

"Somehow, I just don't believe that since we are defeating you. Your troops are no longer able to help you," Big Guy retorted.

"That is a mere problem. We can always get more help if we need," Jewel smirked.

Rusty slowly made his way towards the group but Jewel spotted him and blasted him over the side with a gun.

"Your pathetic tricks won't work with me," Jewel told them.

"You forget one thing," Justin's voice came from behind the Big Guy.

The two cats stepped out from behind the robot's legs and towards the eagle.

"You forget that all who are associated with the prophecy can never be defeated and that they will always have the power to stop you," Jennifer told them.

Jewel growled as she stared at the Big Guy, studying him through her rage.

"You are part of the prophecy! Why didn't I see it before?" she cried out.

They suddenly heard a flapping of wings and everyone looked to see Tera fly in from the direction of the water. She dropped Hapar to the deck in a heap and landed on the Big Guy's shoulder.

"Hapar! What did you do to him, you wretch?" demanded Jewel.

"I gave him what he deserved. Now leave before you lose anymore troops," Tera simply replied.

Doctor Slate stepped out to the Big Guy's side, standing behind Rusty. They watched as Jewel stepped over to her leader and gently picked him up.

"Retreat back into the ship! I have some unfinished business to deal with!" Jewel cried out to the troops.

The alien race began to make their way back into the ship. Jewel turned around as the last one entered the door, heading towards Tera. Dwayne kept an eye on her through the monitors, hoping nothing serious would happen. Jewel jumped into the sky and Tera immediately followed. Justin and Jennifer glanced up at Big Guy, at Dwayne inside the cockpit.

"No, I'm not going to head after her. She can take care of herself. She's a big, um, dinosaur," Dwayne muttered.

It was as if they heard him for Jennifer climbed onto his shoulder and angrily stared at him.

"Just remember whose life you helped save just now but she still needs your help. She also saved your life a few times before, whether you know it or not," she quietly told him.

Dwayne gulped as he nodded, knowing very well that no one could see him. Thorton's face appeared on the overhead screen and the lieutenant glanced up at him.

"I'm hearing everything Lieutenant. Good luck," the general told him.

Dwayne moved the Big Guy into the sky, following the pterodactyl and eagle.

Tera growled as she lunged for Jewel. The eagle dodged out of the way, digging her talons at the pterodactyl and making contact. Tera screeched out in pain, barely noticing Big Guy rising up in the distance. Tera took her arms out and balled them up.

"You will not win Jewel. You can't now. The Big Guy knows about the aspects of being involved with the prophecy. He knows he cannot be defeated," Tera snapped.

"A minor detail," Jewel smirked.

Tera snarled as she headed towards Jewel once again and this time, their talons locked. The two quickly flapped their wings to stay in the air as sparks began to flare up around them. Dwayne could tell that Jewel was slowly overpowering Tera so he knew he had to sooner or later step in between the two. Dwayne became horrified when Jewel slashed at Tera with her beak, scraping her arms. Tera managed to make it to Big Guy, where she made her way onto his shoulders. The guns within the Big Guy's arms popped out, firing at Jewel. Several grazed her and she slowly limped away from the scene. Tera glanced at the Big Guy, a weak smile crossing her face.

"Thank you Lieutenant. I owe you my life in more ways than one," she quietly said.

"It's no problem at all. After all, you've helped me several times," the Big Guy's voice boomed.

Dwayne smirked to himself from within the metal body, leaning back in his chair.

"Now let me get you back to the Dark Horse," he muttered to himself.

Slate nervously paced back and forth as the cats, Pit Crew, General Thorton and Rusty watched her. They could tell that she was becoming ever worried and the cats knew why.

"Don't worry Doctor Slate. Tera's got the Big Guy helping her. They won't have any problems with that alien!" Rusty told her.

"I know Rusty but I can't help feeling that something happened," Slate said.

She was repeatedly glancing towards the doors, hoping the Big Guy would walk through at any time. Her wishes were granted when the robot came bursting through the doors, Tera slumped over his shoulder. The pterodactyl jumped onto the floor, holding her bleeding arms out in front of her. The two cats rushed over to her.

"We have to get you some help. You have to transform back," Justin whispered to her.

"Not with the boy robot here," she managed to reply.

Jo hurried over to her, towel in hand and pressed it onto Tera's arm. The blonde received a slightly confused look before smiling.

"You helped Dwayne. That's good enough for me," Jo quietly said.

"Rusty, you'd better get out of here. You're just going to be in the way," Thorton said to the boy robot.

"Come on, why can't I stay?" wondered Rusty.

"Rusty!" Slate sternly said.

Rusty reluctantly headed out the door, glancing over his shoulder along the way. Slate hurried over to Tera's other side and placed a towel on her other arm. The lieutenant quickly made his way out of the Big Guy and down to the group.

"I can't do it Jennifer," Tera whimpered.

"You can. You need help," she replied.

Dwayne took notice that the necklace Tera always wore was no longer there and realized that there was no change just yet.

"What is going on here?" demanded Garth.

"I agree. We've had no answers since the beginning," Thorton said.

Dwayne glanced between everyone, giving a sigh before deciding to speak up.

"And then there's this prophecy you told me about. It looks like it came to be so I'd like to know what the terms of it was," Dwayne told them.

Justin stood up and walked towards him. The two came face to face and neither wavered.

"You really want to know? I'll tell you. The prophecy spoke of a man of rank who rode a metal, lifesaving machine who fell in love with a woman who had a robotic son. They would kiss but once to break Tera's curse of the necklace," Justin explained.

Both Dwayne and Slate were mortified at this news for they knew then that they were the ones the prophecy spoke of. Slate glanced down at Tera, who was now slowly transforming back to a human. Tera glanced at Jo, a sad look on her face.

"Jo, I'm so sorry that I couldn't tell you this earlier," Tera barely said.

"What are you talking about?" Jo demanded.

Jo watched as the wings began to disappear and Justin placed a blanker over Tera and helped her to her feet. Except for Dwayne, everyone was surprised when Czarina's features began to appear over Tera's face.

"Who would've thought?" Mack said.

Czarina lay in the hospital bed, eyes closed and her arms wrapped up with bandages when Jo and Lieutenant Hunter walked into the room. The brunette opened her eyes slightly and smiled once she saw the two.

"Dwayne explained everything to us after you were brought here. I was slightly angry at first that you didn't trust me enough to tell me sooner but now I understand why it had to be that way," Jo told her.

"Glad you're not angry," Czarina quietly said.

"I'm glad everyone's buying the story we told them, that you were touring the Dark Horse and there was an accident," Dwayne told her.

Czarina gave a small laugh as Jo placed a comforting hand on her arm.

"You have so much to tell me once you're feeling better. Just remember that now we know each other's little secrets, we can talk to each other again," Jo said with a smiled.

Czarina nodded as Dwayne placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I never really got a chance to thank you for helping me when I had my broken leg or with the many problems there have been since your arrival," he told her.

"Believe me when I say that you've done so much more for me than what I could ever repay. You and Doctor Slate saved the whole world and almost no one will ever know it," Czarina replied.

Dwayne nodded, knowing that nothing would ever be the same.

The End.

Thank you to all that have read this and for being patient enough for the long time between chapters
