The Intimidator approaches Rephidim, bearing Zoltan and Bassai, along with several Lancers and airborne warriors. Zoltan flies into battle, while Bassai can only watch from one of the viewing lounges. Zoltan manages to find some weak spots in the armored bugs' defenses, and fells several of them, as well as dealing with some horribs by goading them into flying through a cloud of gas to get to him. For some reason, Zoltan seems to be invisible for a time, thus protecting him from many attacks … but then the effect flickers, and he discovers Jezebel's ship descending out of control. He attacks a bug-ship, only to find that Jynx has somehow gotten into the controls. Together, Jynx and Zoltan struggle to help the airship get to a relatively safe landing on the ground far below, where, as the battle ends, they find several Lancers have been grounded as well. The Savanite "creen-ship" comes in to give them a ride back to Rephidim. At the docks, Jezebel signs her farewells to Zoltan and Jynx for now, as she has work to do back in the City of Hands, but promises that they'll all be soon receiving invitations to her coronation. Bassai catches up with Zoltan and Jynx, but is left with more questions than answers.
