Chapter 12: The Heart of the Prison
Kenny and the Space Hunters navigate the interior of the cosmic whale to reach the prison control room. There, they confront Vexara and the ancient evil, which reveals itself as a neutral cosmic force of balance. Kenny's brother, Kael, sacrifices himself to help Kenny merge fully with his father's fragment, allowing Kenny to become the new warden and seal the prison permanently. Vexara is defeated, but Kenny's mother Serena is freed and reunited with her son. The crew escapes as the nexus collapses.
