ACT I [EXT. / CAMEROON RAINFOREST / STORMY NOON]

Friska: - [gestures to the husk pieces] Whadda we do with all this?

...

several minutes later...

Roaring clouds of thunder continue to prowl over the Cameroon rainforest, as the heavy downpour tries to lick its recent wounds. Laying across the surviving rainforest lies the Tortoise Nightmare's empty husk. And floating way above it lies around hundreds of green, glowing balls. All these were created by none other than Terra, as she currently floats among the cluster of spheres.

Terra: [looking down at the enormous eyesore]...

In a single motion of her finger, she sends the balls of psychic energy diving straight down to various parts of the husk. The intense power of each ball causes the behemoth's corpse to break down into smaller pieces of itself. Like an army of crocodile teeth against the world's largest jawbreaker, the onslaught slowly but surely results in a massive pile of shards. But Terra's not done yet.

Using her telekinesis, she lifts up large chunks of shard and dumps them in the deep trenches left by the tortoise's foul breath -- doing so for each one. After that, the psychic scoops up loads upon loads of dirt and minerals from the mountain she sliced earlier. Terra then fills/flattens the trenches with them akin to using cement, burying the Nightmare's shattered corpse in the process.

With all that taken care of, Terra takes a moment to look up at the rumbling sky.

Terra: ...

Having no further business left here, the jellyfish soon takes her leave and flies off. The scene then rises up from the rainforest and emerges out of the crackling clouds, revealing both the calm blue sky and the distant moon. Truly a breath-taking sight... Is what would be said, if not for the celestial body's scar. A scar far more prominent than what happened back down below.

ACT II [EXT. / THE MOON / OVER A MONTH AGO]

Forever swimming in the endless ocean of ink that is space. Not just Jua and Dunia, but their little sister as well. Meet Mwezi -- quiet, timid, and faint of heart. Certainly not as lively as her eldest brother. Nor as social as her big sister, despite sharing a few visitors every now and again. And speaking of which, here are some right now arriving via spaceship. One that is branded with the name "HMS Alice".

After a steady landing on the moon's pale, bumpy surface, the ship's visitors are deployed outside. Upon counting, there appears to be approximately 27 in total. And all of which appear to be robotic bipeds, resembling that of rabbits. These electronic leporids are split into three groups, as evident by the colored stripes running down their backs. There's Team Red Pill (red stripes), Team Blue Pill (blue stripes), and Team Yellow Pill (yellow stripes).

Team Yellow Pill: 01001101 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 01001111 01100010 01101010 01100101 01100011 01110100 01101001 01110110 01100101 00111010 00100000 01010011 01110000 01101100 01101001 01110100 00100000 01110101 01110000 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01110011 01110101 01110010 01110110 01100101 01111001 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110011 01110101 01110010 01100110 01100001 01100011 01100101 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01100001 01101110 01111001 00100000 01101111 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 00100000 01110011 01101001 01100111 01101110 01110011 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01100001 01101110 01101111 01101101 01100001 01101100 01101001 01100101 01110011 00101110

The latter team activates their jet thrusters and begins scattering off to different parts of the moon's surface. Meanwhile, Team Red and Blue Pill journey across the vast empty satellite, flying over to a set destination. And as time passes, they finally reach it -- the moon's open wound in the form of a massive X.
