The story opens up with Sara and Jackie flying back to Earth on an escape shuttle as they fight the Darkalien. Sara cuts the alien in half, but it manages to instantly heal itself, splattering its acidic blood on them. Jackie manages to quickly protect both of them from it. Meanwhile, Sister Midnight becomes invisible. The Darkalien then tackles Jackie. Jackie then pushes the alien out of the ship into space. The Darkalien tries to get back inside, but is destroyed by sunlight.
As the pair take a breath they're attacked by Sister Midnight. Jackie tries to fight her, but being still in the sunlight is instantly knock back. Sara talks Sister Midnight into dropping her plasma caster away as to not destroy the entire ship. Sister Midnight then pulls out an energy sword and the two lock into fight. The fight is interrupted by Jackie who takes and threatens the Predator with a plasma caster. Sister Midnight then becomes invisible. Seeing as they chance to escape, Jackie grabs Sara and they go deeper into the shuttle. On their way, Irons contacts Sara, mocking her.
