Ralph runs down a long corridor of the ship, Deerborne drawn and in his hands.
58 and Glow follow with him.
The ship shakes.
More warnings go off.
The police squad follow Ralph, albeit behind.
"Which way?!" Ralph screams.
They point further into the burrows of the ship.
Ralph keeps running.
"You two need to figure out how to get me back to Ruth."
"It's not that easy, Ralph. The rules in After -" 58 flaps around.
"I don't care what the rules are. I want to go back!"
"You were never meant to stay in one area!" Glow protests. "You knew this. Why you were stuck with Wolfram regenerating is an anomaly. But none of you are ever supposed to stay put."
"Well, I did. And I liked it there."
They turn towards a series of lights shining down directly from the ceiling, descending farther into the ship.
Lenny stands next to the Captain, as the ship floats closer to the portal.
Ships are trying to pull away from it, but are getting sucked in.
The war in space has stopped as the enemy of everyone is now the portal trying to eat them all.
Lenny keeps flicking the switch, back and forth.
The Captain is not impressed.
Lenny grins at him then wishes he was hiding.
"So. This is your ship, huh? You are a Captain? The big boss man?"

Awkward doesn't even begin to explain it.
Ralph runs towards a sliding door. It lifts into the air and he enters a huge hanger, full of escape pods. Like small tear drop spaceships colored in white.
A center console is in the middle of the hanger.
Bodies of the crew are all around, as Wolfram stands there, trying to figure out how to release a pod.
"Wolfram!" Ralph screams, running in, opening fire.
Wolfram turns and immediately jumps over the console. He then lifts a huge blaster rifle he has stolen and fires back.
The ammo from the blaster goes in bursts as the doors and walls are shredded to pieces.
58 flies out of the way. Glow slides on the ground, though he has no need too.
Ralph hides behind a pod as the gunfire keeps going.
Wolfram then goes back to the console, yelling over his shoulder.
"You don't know who you are dealing with."
"Why don't you just die!"
"Never! I'm going back!"
Wolfram keeps banging on the console.
Warnings flash across it and negative noises blare out.
TOO MANY TRIES. SYSTEM OVERRIDE. ESCAPE PODS LOCKED.
Wolfram screams and opens fire on the console, destroying it.
He then turns and looks around for Ralph.
The door slides open and the galactic police run in and open fire.
Suddenly, the ship lurches, and all thrown in the air, as the gravity controls break again.
Lenny and the Captain hold on for dear life on to a railing on the bridge.
The portal keeps coming closer.
Lenny leans with his finger tips towards his switch, getting away from him. He flips the switch one more time.
Suddenly, the portal closes across space.
Ships fly away quickly.
One ship is split in half as the portal closes over half of it.
It's broken half then descends into space, pieces floating like a waterfall.
Everyone cheers.
Then the gravity controls kick back in and they all fall to the ground.
Lenny smiles.
"I saved the day!"
"Execute him and the others!" The Captain yells.
Suddenly, Lenny disappears right through the floor.
Wolfram disappears in mid air through a small portal, as Ralph and 58 and Glow evaporate into the floor as well.
