Machine Head mentions Titan is always in a rush to get somewhere he’s not. He claims that he’s more about the journey, the vibe, the ambience. If they don’t stop to smell the roses every once in a while, well, then what’s the point in anything. Titan points out that Machine Head cannot smell it neither.
Machine Head tells his friend that he would be on fire tonight, if rocks could burn. It promotes Titan to wonder what Machine Head wants. Machine Head says World peace. A pony. His name in lights.

Machine Head tells Titan that Liu is going to kill him.
At the Pentagon, Cecil and Donald watch the photo that Mark kills the mastermind. Donald thinks Cecil would have done the same. Cecil admits it. But he reminds Donald that he’s not half Viltrumite. He thinks he cannot wreck an entire planet with his bare hands even if he’s in a bad mood. Donald reveals Mark preferred absolute solutions recently. Cecil mentions what Robot said that Mark almost killed the Dinosaurus guy they just locked up. Donald thinks Conquest and Angstrom were heat of the moment. And, technically, they’re both still alive. Cecil points at the screen. He thinks it’s a billboard. And Rus was an innocent man. That’s different. That changes things. But Donald believes Mark’s still doing what he thinks is right. After everything he’s been through. Cecil agrees with what Donald said. He thinks he knows trauma like that breaks people.

At the Pentagon, Cecil tells Mark that he made the right choice. He reveals Rus Livingston was an astronaut. The guy knew the risks. The sequids had to be stopped at all costs. Mark wonders why he’s there. Cecil tells Mark that because it wasn’t like him. It’s not who he is. But Mark thinks it’s who he should be. If he’d killed Angstrom the first time, so many families would still be alive. He decides to do anything to stop that from happening again. Cecil knows it. He wants to keep Mark that way. He reveals he gave up sleeping years ago for making the Guardians sleep. Mark doesn’t have to work for Cecil. But when it comes to who lives or dies, Mark shouldn’t make the decision alone. But Mark claims that he’s not a kid anymore. He doesn’t need Cecil to handle him. Cecil reminds Mark that he’s a walking nuclear bomb.

He goes out through the ceiling.

Robot saves Monster Girl. He realizes that where the emitter is. He gets the Guardians to cover him and Monster Girl. He and Monster Girl rush into the realm of Flaxans. Cecil tries to stop Robot. But Robot thinks it’s the only way. He finds the emitter. He breaks it.
The mechs are broken. Because the emitter was destroyed. Mark wins. Rex sees something in Flaxans’ dimension. He tells the Guardians that they need to defeat Flaxans in their dimension.
