Lilac follows Pangu deeper into the ruins of Pangu Lagoon, to an area with a small waterfall. From there, the Robotic AI shows Lilac a holographic image of a Dragon Scientist.
(Dragon Scientist)
This is our final message. . . A message that we leave for the future. Although we will respect the wishes of your people and allow our influence to pass into legend, there will come a time in your history when you must learn the truth.
When we were stranded her, we sought desperately to return to our world. We wasted countless years trying to find a way home, but we are no closer to an answer than when we started. We decided that helping your civilization survive and prosper was a more efficient use of our technology.
The hologram changes again, showing an image of the Kingdom Stone.
(Dragon Scientist)
We have condensed our energy reserves into a physical relic of extraordinary power. With proper care, you may one day use it to travel to the stars. . . to find the answers that we alone could never find.
The hologram changes back to the Dragon Scientist.
(Dragon Scientist)
If you wish to know more, You'll have to access our internal database. I pray that it is still intact by the time you receive this message.
The Dragon Scientist bows in the hologram.
(Dragon Scientist)
May the winds of time carry you for eternity.
As the message ends and the hologram disappears, leaving Lilac ponders in thought about the message.
Shang Tu Royal Palace[]
Lilac takes Pangu to the Royal Palace in Shang Tu, where she shows the message to the Magister. After seeing the message, he looks away briefly to think.
The implications of this are powerful. . .
Do you believe it, your excellency?
It's difficult to say. . . But if it's true, then the Kingdom Stone is more important than we realise. It must be returned to it's resting place before the energy within is lost forever.
The Magister looks away for a moment before looking back at Lilac.
Something terrible has happened in your absense. Zao has sent his army to attack Shuigang.
What?! But they're innocent!
Not as far as Zao is concerned. I have sent soldiers of our own to hold them off, but I fear it will not be for long.
What are we gonna do?!
As ironic as it may seem, you are the only dragonblood worthy of our trust. You can stop this war before it begins.
Tell me what to do.
The screen fades to black briefly before fading back showing Lady Neera and two Shang Tu Soldiers being present in the room.
Our ships will take you as far as they can. When you land, ride the northern winds to the snowfields.
Understood.
Lilac runs over and grabs onto Pangu, while Neera follows behind her.
Carol & Milla infiltrates the Thermal Base and manages to free Torque through unknown means. It didn't take long for Milla to pick up Lilac's scent.
Lilac's scent is this way!
Carol & Torque follows Milla to the interrogation room, where they find an injured Lilac hooked up to an electric machine. They are shocked to see their friend in so much pain.
LILAC!
As Milla looks on in tears, Carol runs up and pushes on the glass container, while Torque dashes to the terminal and releases Lilac from the machine. Carol kneels down to her best friend in tears, and clearly shows regret for abandoning her.
I'm sorry I ran of without you! I'll never do it again!
*coughs* We gotta leave, now!
Before Team Lilac could have a chance to escape, Brevon and a squadron of Shade Elites enters the room, cutting off their escape. As Torque stands ready to protect his friends, Milla looks in fear at the presence of Brevon, while Carol glares at the Warlord, wanting to make him pay for hurting her best friend.
You know, it was so smart of your Coalition to attack my ship above an inhabited planet. What ever happened to that Prime Directive of yours, hm?
You think that you're some blameless force of nature, don't you?! That the rules don't apply to you?!
It's my world on the line. You know exactly how far I'll to ensure it's safety.
Your world is in danger because of the suffering you've caused to the the worlds!
*sarcastically* My actions have hurt people? I had no idea. I'm dreadfully sorry.
Really?
He's lying.
I have a lot of work to do so let's make this quick. Kill them.
On Brevon's command, the Shade Elites fire on the Team. While Torque fires back, Milla blocks their shots with her shield, but it's too much for her to handle.
I can't hold it!
Suddenly, the alarm goes off and distracts Brevon, giving the Team a chance to escape down a hole in the floor. Brevon tries to finish them off with a Knife Attack, but he misses. Syntax is then heard over the monitor with an emergency alert.
Syntax
PRESSURE OVERLOAD DETECTED. THE FACILITY WILL IMPLODE IN SIX MINUTES.
Don't let them escape! Find out who did this!
Brevon and his troops evacuate the Base, knowing there was no time to prevent Team Lilac's escape or stop the imminent implosion.
The Thermal Base sinks into the lake and implodes, destroying any and all evidence the Team could've used to persuade the Magister. Carol, Milla & Torque emerges from the lake, but Lilac is nowhere to be seen, leaving them with worry.
Lilac!
Can you sense where she is, Milla?
Milla kneels to the ground to try and see if she can pick up Lilac's scent, but instead picks up another scent, much to her surprise.
*gasps* Something's coming! Something very big is coming!
Torque runs in front of Milla and changes into his Shellduck disguise.
Stay behind me.
The Team stands ready to face what was coming, believing it to be Brevon's forces. Much to their relief, it was General Gong and the Shang Tu Army driving by in a convoy of trucks. Gong notices the trio and orders the convoy to stop.
Halt! I SAID HALT!
Well look what we have here.
Have you seen Lilac?
The dragon girl. I'm afraid not.
Well, what's with the army?
Zao and his goons are about to attack Shuigang. I'm not about to let that happen.
Zao is going to war?!
Not if we can reach him. All he needs is a little persuasion, if you know what I'm talking about.
We're friends with him. Maybe we can ask him to stop!
Yeah, like that's gonna w. . .
Hey, wait a minute. . . I think you might be on to something! Hop in!
Carol, Milla & Torque hops into the truck and accompanies Gong and the Shang Tu Army to the Snowfields in order to stop Zao and the Shang Mu Army from invading Shuigang.
North Avalice: Shuigang Snowfields[]
As the convoy arrives in the snowfields, Gong and his troops hides behind several snowbanks.
We ain't gonna be hidden forever, spaceman. Be quick about it.
For sure! It's what we're all about.
Carol, Milla & Torque goes on ahead to stop the Shang Mu Trucks. But the trucks drive right past the Team and they run after them.
STOP!
Zao and his troops disembark from their trucks as they encounter the Shang Tu army blocking their path to Shuigang.
What are THEY doing here?!
Zao and his troops walks up to Gong and his troops. Zao looks directly at Gong's stomach while Gong is looks directly at Zao's hat.
Nice hat.
Nice gut.
Let me help!
Milla runs up and digs up a rock for Zao to stand on so he and Gong could see eye-to-eye.
Gong presents a letter from the Magister to Zao.
It seems we have a common enemy, Zao.
Zao takes the letter from Gong and starts reading it, while Carol & Torque walks up to Milla's side.
*mumbles*
So let me get this straight. . . the Magister says that if we join together and fight Mr. Braven, we get half of the Kingdom Stone's energy.
Sounds like a fair offer, does it not?
Are you kidding?! My city needs WAY more than half!
Phah! You just want to hog the last of our reserves!
I know feel a little jealous, but I can't help if my city is bigger than yours!
Both Gong & Zao signal their troops to raise their weapons and prepare for battle, only for Torque to get in between and try to reason with them.
Hold on a minute, fella! This is exactly what Brevon wants! For you two to fight while he gets away with all of your energy!
What difference does it make if it's Brevon or this swine?
Upftcrhthrchffooo
We're marching into Shuigang whether you like or not!
You don't have the guts!
Suddenly, everybody is silenced by a loud roar. Milla is the first to notice where it came from.
Look!
Everybody looks to the skies and sees the source of the loud roar: a massive (Holo)Dragon flying by and coming their way. Zao is reduced to the ground and intimidated, while Gong is awed by the (Holo)Dragon's presence.
Dragon. . .
The sky turns pitch black as the (Holo)Dragon flies down in front of both armies.
Kneel before the ancient beast!
Everybody does what Gong says and bows before the (Holo)Dragon, which growls at them.
Oh?
The (Holo)Dragon growls again.
You're saying that. . . we should work together?
The (Holo)Dragon nods in response to Zao's question.
Ohohoh, of course! Eheheh!
Heh. . . Please don't eat us!
The (Holo)Dragon looks away for a second, then roars loudly. As it flies away from the two armies and the sky turns back to normal, Carol, Milla & Torque are left wondering. . .
Was that. . . ?
It couldn't have been her. . . Could it?
Careful what you wish for.
Hearing Lilac's voice, they turn around and sees Lilac sitting on top of one of the Shang Mu Trucks.
LILAC!
Lilac jumps off of the truck.
Guys!!
The group happily runs towards Lilac, overjoyed to see her back safe and sound.
It's really you! You came back!
Where've you been? How did you do that??
I didn't do it. This little fella did.
Pangu appeared behind Lilac, showing the Holodragon image and inadvertently scaring Milla.
Eeeeh!
It's okay guys. This robot wasn't made by Brevon.
Pangu turns off the hologram.
Really!
It's a long story. . . but the Magister believes us now. We have his full support.
Awww yeah! That's ma girl!
The screen quickly moves over to show Gong rallying both armies. The Bird Guard can be seen for a split second.
My friends! We have been blessed with the seal of the dragon! We must heed it's call and join together for he greater good!
Under my leadership!
. . . You can't be serious.
Later, Team Lilac and their allies gather around a campfire outside of a recently-built tent to determine a course of action against Brevon and his Army.
What can you tell us about the invaders?
Well, Brevon is a starship commander. He doesn't have as much experience fighting on the ground as you do.
Then we shall take the battle to the streets!
But we need to cross the snow fields without gettin' wasted.
We do have one advantage. . . Brevon wants the four of us dead no matter what.
If he sees us coming, we can distract him.
A diversion? Do you really think you can pull it off?
Remember all the times we distracted -you-?
Point taken.
What about the stone? How do we get it back?
I could modify one of my hacking devices to knock out power to the engine mainframe.
In my language?
Kill the power, get the stone back. . . Right?
You got it.
Lilac & Torque are inside the tent, readying the hacking devices and discussing their plan to recover the Kingdom Stone.
I hope this works. In case it doesn't. . . I need you to be prepared for what I might have to do.
. . . It'll work. It has to.
Lilac then recalls what Brevon said to her earlier, about her trying to interfere with his mission. She decides to ask Torque a question.
. . . Would Brevon have left us alone if we hadn't tried to stop him.
He pulled that trick on you, huh?
But is it true?
Maybe, but I wouldn't trust him on it. Even it he did leave you people alone, it would only be a matter of time before his conquest affected your world.
Lilac briefly thinks about what Torque said before responding.
As the two armies charge into battle together, Lilac is seen hanging onto Pangu, who projects her Holodragon image and transforms into the Holodragon itself. The two take to the skies, while Carol, Milla & Torque ride into battle on three of Zao's Tanks. The scene switches over to the interior of the Dreadnought, where Brevon, Syntax, Serpentine and Dail are preparing for liftoff, having been alerted to the approaching armies.
Syntax
THE ALIEN ARMY HAS COMMENCED ITS ATTACK.
Give the order to your troops.
It will be done.
The scene switches back to Team Lilac.
You ready, Carol?
Ready to rock!
The scene switches back to the Dreadnought as as Dail leaves to prepare.
Find the Commander and his pets and tear them to shreds.
And leave their brains intact if possible. I might use them for something.
The scene switches back to Team Lilac again.
Milla?
Together!
The scene switches back to the Dreadnought again as Serpentine leaves to prepare.
Fire at will!
The scene switches back to Team Lilac one last time.
Let's show this green maniac how to save a planet!
As Team Lilac charges into battle against Brevon's Army, Zao contacts Carol, Milla & Torque through the radios and gives them directions on how to use the Tanks.
Alright. While you're driving my tank, I only have two rules. . .
Aim. . . and fire!
Not long after, the Team encounters Syntax, who transforms in to her Cancer-Mode. They manage to beat her back and continue to the Dreadnought.
-Boss Battle-
Dreadnought Refueling Base[]
Team Lilac manages to traverse the Snowfields and fight their way past many of Brevon's forces, including the Absolution, Mutant Iris and Wretchnid. They eventually reach the base of the Dreadnought, where they find Prince Dail waiting for them as the Shade Beast materializes.
It's such a shame that you chose the wrong side. Enjoy the last few minutes of your pathetic lives!
Dail unleashes the Shade Beast on Team Lilac, using two type of Death Cards to attack. As he takes damage, a swarm of Beast Irises spawn from the Shade Beast.
How about this?!
As the battle progresses, the Shade Beast lowers it's head to charge and unleash a powerful attack, but leaves Dail vulnerable to attack.
Die, vermin!
As the battle reaches it's climax, Dail becomes more desperate to defeat the Team.
What is this nonsense?!
After a long and tough battle, the Team finally manage to destroy the Shade Beast, knocking Dail off of it and forcing him to watch the beast explode to his dismay.
No!
NOOOO! My beautiful creation!
After the Shade Beast explodes, Team Lilac looks around the area to see if they're anymore enemies around. Just when they are sure they were in the clear, Dail reappears and attempts one final attack on them, only to be stopped by a barrage of playing cards and forced to retreat. Just then, Spade appears, having been the one who stopped Dail's final attack. As the Team follows him as he attempts to give chase to his brother, Lilac calls out to him.
Spade!
I hate to disappoint you, but I'm just passing through. Have fun saving the world.
Look, I'm sorry, okay?! I was scared. I didn't know what I was doing!
You still don't.
As Spade dashes off after Dail, Brevon's voice can be heard over an intercom.
ATTENTION TROOPS! PREPARE FOR LIFTOFF!
Listen, guys. . . I'll go in alone while you help the General take back the city.
Why can't we go in together?
It'll be easier this way. Trust me.
But they'll have a harder time catching us if we stick together.
But that's what Brevon's expecting us to do.
Then let me go instead. You're too important to the mission.
I CAN'T LOSE ANOTHER CREW!
The Girls are shocked by Torque's words, realizing how deeply he cares about them.
If something happens to you, I'm. . . I'm not strong enough to save you.
We'll be strong for you!
We said we were gonna help you get back the stone. We still mean it.
You're stuck with us buddy, whether you like it or not.
As soon as you set foot into that Dreadnought, you may never come out again. Are you ready to make that sacrifice?
The Girls look at each other and nod in agreement as they come to a decision: to board the Dreadnought with Torque and face the dangers within. Together.
Yeah, whatever, Let's go! We're wasting time.
Alright. Here's the plan.
Torque gives each of the Girls a disk-like device used to cut off the Dreadnought's power. Team Lilac then enters the Dreadnought as it prepares to blast off into space, ready to face the menace within. And so, the fate of Avalice hangs in the balance as the Final Battle for the Kingdom Stone begins.
