Grab a poncho, marima skirts.

They're lovely, don't you think?

Water! Fresh water!

Step right up

and see the wonders...

Come one, come all.

Watch the human fire-dragon.

Get him!

Extra water...

I know he came this way, Malice.

I seen him. I did. He just went round that...

We've got him.

He's mine.

No, we wait.

We follow. We've got them all.

Keep moving, vermin.

Move, you swine!

Dayshift, note.

Partial shutdown on sectional boilers

means reduced distillation.

The water content and pollution ratios

are down.

Fluoride levels are acceptable.

Only those willing to combine shifts

will have a water ration increase.

All others will have a water standard

reduction by 0.25 liters per day.

This way.

He's here.

We can't wait, come on. Standing out here

is like begging for a bull's-eye.

- Quiet.

- You sure you can do this?

Sure. It's just like the old gym lockers.

Well, almost.

Try 66.

The sphere better be in there,

or you're maimed.

Just turn the dial to 66, and you'll have it.

- Sixty-six.

- Hey!

Hi, Bodhi. See, I told you he was here.

- No. I said forget going back.

- So what are we gonna do, stay here?

- I'd rather go back to the desert.

- And die of thirst?

There has got to be a place to go.

Well, until you're ready to show us,

O earth mother...

- I think we should make it.

- Make what?

- Make our own place to live.

Make it out of what, Daniel?

Blink your eyes and take a look

at the real world out there,

'cause it's a very ugly place.

- Bodhi will help us.

- Bodhi got us here.

Metron, you should have stayed

at the orphanage.

- Hey, Terra.

- No, I'm serious!

You had a future with the Protectorate.

You should've stayed.

We found your owl. I'm sorry it got killed.

- We buried it.

- I know.

Why did you take the sphere?

'Cause I thought it would do magic for me,

like it did for you.

It's not simple magic.

It's something else.

So, what are you gonna do now?

You gonna stay here?

For now, anyway.

- What about you?

- I don't know. We can't decide.

Maybe it's been decided for you.

Come on.

Spread out! Come on, move it!

Come on, up the ramp!

I'll hold them!

- Wait, I dropped Bodhi!

- Daniel, no!

Wait. I have to get Bodhi!

- No!

Bodhi! Bodhi!

Head for the tires.

- Hop in. Come on, Daniel.

- Get in.

- That's it. Climb all the way to the back.

- Hurry up! Hurry up!

- All the way to the back. Let's go.

Let's go.

- This better work!

- Bye, Daniel!

Don't let go, Daniel!

Darstar!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- Rabbit, man.

- You okay?

Yeah.

- Where's Terra?

- I don't know.

- Terra.

- I thought she was behind you.

- No, she wasn't with...

- No, she...

Terra!

- Jas, wait! Jason!

Terra! Terra!

Terra!

The place just exploded.

Maybe she got out another way.

Yeah. She was slick on her wheels.

Real quick.

Congratulations, Strictor.

- Now let's see what you can do.

- Our analysis will take a little time.

But I'll do everything I can

to see you're not bored.

Not to worry.

It's only a live boy-o they pay for.

Ain't that right, old dog?

That's what the E-Piggies want.

Live young lads.

Make a man's day.

Only one. Only a lonely one.

Not to worry.

Water. Water!

- Who flashes water like that?

Wait!

Wait. We'll barter some.

Did you hear?

We'll barter for what you've got.

Bring it here.

- Let's go!

- No.

We've got value here.

We don't want to lose it.

It's only a lithe and little one.

Let's go!

- Nothing here.

- Are you sure about that?

- Take a better look.

- Terra.

- Terra!

- Terra.

Jason.

- All right, Terra!

- Daniel, I missed you.

- Terra, I can't believe this.

You're okay. How'd you get out?

After all your hard work, we couldn't

let you go off empty-handed, boys.

No.

Hey, you forgot your boot.

- Hey, take it easy, fellas.

- Bye.

Yeah, take it easy. Just get a suntan.

- Wait till you see this.

- Hey, where are you taking us?

- What is this place?

- This is where I live.

Water!

- It's water!

- Water!

Tug, come on, there's more. Come on.

Hey, look. Water comes

right out of the rock.

No, it comes from here. This is called ice.

Thousands of years ago, a giant glacier

was trapped under a lava flow.

As it melts, it feeds the springs

that make our oasis.

This is Greentree. He's my father.

- Your father? This is...

- From the picture.

These are my friends. This is Jason.

- Jason.

- Hello.

- And Rabbit.

- Rabbit.

- This is Metron.

- Metron.

Tug. And the little one over there,

that's Daniel.

I'm glad to meet Terra's family.

Now you're my family, too.

This is your home. Come on.

- Her father?

- Her father?

I don't understand.

Why doesn't the Protectorate

take over here like everyplace else?

This place is our secret and must be kept.

So have you stopped fighting?

The Eco-wars took a great toll.

Terra's mother was taken prisoner

and killed.

Our numbers were cut.

By now, the Eco-warriors are only a rumor.

But there are new generations.

Our survival is our victory.

By some extraordinary luck,

our people found Terra and she's here.

We're all here to stay.

Bodhi doesn't call anymore.

Maybe the E-Police have...

Are we just gonna give up, Jason?

No.

What are we gonna do?

I never told you this, but Bodhi...

He showed me something.

We were headed for this place

that we still haven't found.

So it's not over, Daniel.

So you keep listening. Listen real hard,

so Bodhi will know

you're trying to hear him.

We've reached an apparent null.

I'll reduce the power.

Just keep cooking it.

I'm so happy here.

We're all gonna be very happy here.

Terra, I know what you've found here. I do.

- But the rest of us, we gotta move on.

- No.

We left the orphanage with a purpose.

To find Daniel. And now Daniel's safe.

We're all safe. This is our home.

Bodhi's gone. It's gone.

I can't believe you're saying that.

It's just better forgotten.

What do you mean, forgotten?

What do you know?

Come on, Terra.

Come on, Terra. We've all oathed

each other that there'd never be secrets.

But I oathed to my father, too.

And that means more?

Where's the sphere?

His men said that they took it

to the Protectorate aqua bunker.

- The what?

- The aqua bunker.

It's where they control the water.

Jason, they're gonna destroy it.

- Well, it won't happen.

- What?

You heard me. I said it won't be destroyed.

Hey, hey, wait a minute. Wait.

It's stupid to go like this.

Terra, this is our choice.

We made the decision and we're going.

Well, then maybe this will help.

- Plans to the aqua bunker.

- Let's go. Come on.

All right!

Awesome.

Are you sure

we've got the right place?

Bodhi.

Enough. It's ready.

The fusion lasers have

greatly weakened the surface shield.

Now it gets interesting.

We lock it down and disembowel it.

It's all yours.

Gentlemen, this is Terminack.
