R.D. entered the cabin of the Riptide and motioned for the Hartnetts to set off. "Let's get going. Kujo's left, and I doubt that's a good thing. I smell a trap," he said, looking at Bryant, "But we're better off knowing its a trap."
The engines roared to life, and the Riptide sped onwards towards the icy shores of Antarctica, alongside the legions of Juno's army. R.D. stood in the cabin, his clothing covered in a long dark blue jacket he had found somewhere in the ship. His arms folded, his green eyes stared out as they approached the frozen continent.
Within one hour, the army had reached the shores, as night began to fall on the distant land. Trudging through snow while cutting a path through using fire, R.D. found a suitable spot within the camp and took out the violet cube that was the Riptide. Pushing the button and tossing it forward, the ship appeared in a flash of light, settling into the snow. "Now we have a place to sleep that isn't freezing. And hopefully Sheena's flying freaks won't attack in the night."
Sleep was difficult that night, even as unseen shapes flitted across the night skies on soundless wings, ever watchful of the beings down below. And as the people slept, they dreamed. Somehow, the same voice and the same imagery swept through their minds.

Light flickered within darkness, flashing brightly before solidifying into the outline, of a great winged beast spreading massive wings and roaring towards the heavens. It brightened intensely as a harsh, growling voice, deep and ancient in its command, spoke in their minds and in their hearts.
"That which can stop the power of the divine... is the power of the unreal."
As if hovering in the sky, they saw an ice-filled plain, scoured by a chill wind, spread snow into dunes over ice, as they floated across the sides. Something sparkled across the cold fields.
"The unreal is the hope that can surpass impossible odds."
The sound of a heartbeat as blue light flowed over tranquil waters. Within it and beneath, it took into a black shape, curling in on itself. Yellow eyes glowed.
"It is the power that brings absolute victory."

In the silent hull of the Riptide, R.D. opened his eyes, staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling.
That dream. I know who that was. I know I did... but its gone now. What was that?
The light of the sun, seemingly displaced in the cold day, peeked over the waters, signaling the dawn of a new day, and the dawn of a fateful battle.

And so, as the GGG crew ran the diagnostic tests on the reactivated HyoRyu and EnRyu, the two brother robots regaled Matt with their part of the tale in stopping the 11 Sol Masters from destroying the universe by contracting it.
As the hours past by, work continued within the Kushinada as the crew monitored the tests. At Entouji's station, a beep signified the completion of the final test. Scratching his scalp, the man turned in his seat towards Dr. Liger. "The tests are finished," he said, "All systems are green. Everything is operating as they should."
