48

Chako reveals to the others what they suspected, that Howard and Sharla were being controlled by Survive. Luna and Kaoru follow Howard and Sharla, but encounter drones trying to force their way into the hidden room. They return to regroup, but realizing there are no more safe places to hide, they decide to attempt a frontal assault on Survive's room. Shingo finds two infrared inhibitor particle nebulizers which they can use to confuse the drone's sensors in the same way that Howard's mirror worked earlier. In Survive's room, Survive tells Howard and Sharla that he needs to obtain Luna's power for himself. The children escape the hidden room, and split into two groups for a two-pronged assault and ride separate lifts to the top of the spaceship. The nebulizers work on the drones, but Sharla confronts one of the groups with a laser pistol. Bell distracts her with his jacket, and then knocks her out. In the other group, the drones destroy Kaoru's nebulizer, but Luna's power flares up and disables the drones. They enter Survive's room, where they find Howard lying on the floor, but when they approach, he stands up and holds a laser pistol to Adam's head. Survive starts to scan Luna to determine the source of her power, and the other group arrives with Sharla. Survive tells Luna he caused the quicksand in order to take Howard and Sharla, and has been using them for various experiments since. Luna becomes angry at the callous use of her friends, and her aura changes from pink to dark red, but Adam brings her back to her senses. As Survive continues to taunt her, she remembers her father's words on terraforming, and her aura turns pink again. The children all appear in a strange landscape, where they call out to Howard and Sharla, and they remember all the things that happened to them since they arrived. In Survive's room, the children are all surrounded by a whirling pink field. Luna gathers her energies and those of her friends in her hand, and blasts the nanomachines out of Howard and Sharla's bodies, returning them to normal. Survive admires Luna's power, but as the children have another tearful reunion, an alert sounds, and the room starts shaking. (Source: Wikipedia)
