Just a few minutes.

This is insane.

[haunting music]

Run from this.

Cameron, you need

to land this thing!

We won't make it!

You killed us!

Let him go!

[screams]

[music swells]

I felt them.

Ellen, what's wrong?

That's impossible.

No!

Hey!

Enough of you!

What is happening?

Why are the Collectives

in distress?

I don't know, they've

never reacted this way

before!

I need control of them

to fire the cannon.

They are still conformed

despite this disturbance,

Devanera.

Whatever is happening to

them will not affect your

command.

David, we are

still falling!

Oh my sh*t!

Pull up on the

controls, hurry!

I don't know

how to fly this!

We're gonna crash!

You need to take both

controls and pull up

- gently!

- What's happening with you?

I don't know!

Gently!

Crap!

Okay now pull up, pull up!

Pull up hard now!

Gentle, hard, what

the hell Cameron?

That was awesome.

You were awesome.

You cannot be

certain it was him.

It was Cameron.

He summoned the pure

light and it obeyed him.

Do you even know

what that means?

I cannot stop this

firing command, Ellen.

When the vortex is

aligned, the cannon will

fire.

All this time, and the

prize is within your

grasp...

The prize, being Camiru?

Better he lives as your

prisoner, than he dies in

this genocide.

Stop this, an entire

world is about to be

destroyed!

You fill my

head with chaos!

We, too, are fighting

for survival, Ellen!

My world is dying because

Camiru's father refuses to

save it.

He is quite prepared

to let my people die.

Forget using Cameron

for a ransom.

Darmirruan is old,

unyielding and stubborn.

Garabon, Cameron

summoned the pure light.

He is succeeding

his father.

The vortex is aligned.

Prepare to engage

the firing sequence.

He can save your world.

[melancholy music builds]

[remote beeps]

Inform Devanera he is to

abort the firing command.

I am returning

to the planet.

David, you flew the ship.

I crashed the ship.

What's wrong with you?

I don't know.

I quelled the blue light.

Yes you did.

Cameron...

What?

What's wrong with me?

Something's wrong.

I don't feel good.

[labored breathing]

You touched

the blue light.

You did too.

I know.

It turns out I can.

You were amazing.

David...

I'm so proud of you.

David, the blue

light's in you.

I think it's killing you.

I know.

This is all my fault!

No, hey!

They did this, remember!

They did!

Cameron, the cannon, you

gotta stop them from

firing!

It's too late...

No, not for you.

You quell blue spheres!

Get up there and

quell those old guys!

The Collectives?

Stop them.

Stop them, Cameron.

You can save everyone.

You can save...

You can save Sarah.

Save her for me.

David...

I can feel you.

I know you feel me.

And you've been

looking for me.

Here I am.

[screams of pain]

[music picks up]

Where is Reahveniah??

Why have you not

connected me to Devanera?

We cannot contact

Devanera's ship.

We are no longer connected

to the central grid.

What?

Hail all frequencies,

including Irehkull and get

me Devanera.

What if I cannot

make the connection?

Then I will be dead, and

you will be to blame.

Oh.

Move!

This is a level one

priority, all Genead's

respond.

Inform Devanera to abort

the firing command on

Garabon's order.

Stop the communication!

I did, as you commanded.

We are the only

ones hearing this.

Did he find the boy?

I don't know.

And the firing command?

It is still active.

Could it be?

What about the message?

Garabon is returning

to the planet.

Hold the message.

You will die in the blast.

What are we waiting for?

Fire! Fire now!

Go!

[pulsing blasts]

Why isn't it working?

It'll work when

you're older.

Possibly an old man.

Camiru, remember

what I taught you.

Commanding the power this

way limits the power to

your own strength, but if

you command it like this,

the power has no limit.

You will be mighty.

[swelling music]

[screams of pain]

What is doing this??

[crashing equipment]

The core is failing!

[explosion]

[fading music]

David...

You, you're okay?

How?

I don't know, Cameron.

But when you did what you

did, pulling spaceships

out of the sky, I

felt you doing it.

I felt the blue

light lifting.

I feel great!

Thank you, thank you.

For what?

For living.

You're welcome.

Now dude, you need to

go and find Shanna.

You'll be okay?

I'll be fine, go!

[ship speeds by]

Ellen, prepare yourself.

I will be taking

Cameron back with me.

Am I a mother, that I will

trade my son's life to

save it?

I do not know.

I think a mother would do

anything to protect her

children.

Certainly I would

die for Cameron.

And so this is the outcome

of these years hiding on

Earth.

There are different kinds

of people in this world.

Which one am I?

I know who Cameron is.

The one for whom the sun

recedes, able to cast

light on the

darkest shadow.

He saved a world today.

It gives us tomorrow,

another chance, another day.

Shanna!

The power of the

Collectives has been quelled.

How? How is this possible?

It has to be the boy.

Garabon's ship was

pulled from the sky.

We were fortunate

to be so far away.

General Garabon has

secured the Miruan boy.

Prepare your return

course to Nera.

Camiru, I am Garabon.

You will return

with me to my ship.

Garabon, my mom...

Allow her to stay

here on Earth.

You are a

prisoner, Camiru.

Enough demands.

She cannot be imprisoned.

My father will place

no value on her.

It was an act of

love, no doubt.

This was not farewell,

it was good-bye.

These moments together

were possibly our last.

I love you, mom.

I love you, my son.

So what are you

going to do now?

Find Sarah.

Protect my boy, Garabon.

You have my word, no

harm will come to him.

[rising music]

So what did you

think of Earth?

[motorcycle engine]

You're okay! You're safe!

Never leave me again!

Never.
