After the Rungan warriors decimate the Lord invaders, they must decide what to do next. Knowing the Spears sent them to die, their next move seems obvious: take back Burunga and liberate their fellow Rungans from King Robert's betrayal. As they march back to the palace, they find several weapons storehouses and abandoned towns, all left in haste during the boulder slide. The Rungans lay down their primitive weapons, trading them for the rocket launchers and guns the Spears denied them. Leaving behind reinforcements to train, Colm continues his march to the Royal Palace. Once there, they're greeted with a triumphant welcome from King Robert and his officers. But behind the scenes, they again plot to destroy the Rungans out of fear of retribution. Though many on the council stick up for the warriors and regard them as heroes, their voices are drowned out by King Robert. He plans a ceremony of honor where the Spears will take out the remaining Rungans. Colm is not fooled. He sees through their ceremony, asked to leave all weapons outside, and plots a counter-attack. He and the warriors, now confident and strong from their victory, are ready to fight to save their country and their people. In a final stand, they surround the Royal Palace and use the weapons they collected to destroy those inside. Leaving only a few alive, King Robert is bloody and broken, but questioned and held accountable for his betrayal. His ally in the Palace, Lynzo Mesfin, tells Colm a harrowing secret: his parents are alive. The president has been kept in a Dumpster since King Robert betrayed him. Colm and his family are taken to meet him, but the reunion is tainted by Robert's torture-- the president, Colm's father, believes the return of his children to be a trick to get him to comply. But through persistence, they finally convince him. Weakened by the imprisonment, the president calls Colm before the warriors he led so valiantly in battle. Over the sound of their cheers, Colm is sworn in before them, as the new president of Burunga.
