Doc Terror then announces that he will use the mass-driver to launch meteors at the Earth. Ace is rescued, and together, the Centurions beam-over to Lunar free it from Lunex. However, the meteor has already been launched toward the San Andreas fault line, and only Ace alone can stop it. Science Lesson: The Moon by Crystal.
