[Zero] Previously on Prisoner Zero...

[Vykar] How much do you remember?

Where you came from? What you did?

[Demar] I wouldn't be surprised if hard things seep back in.

[Zero] Demar? Are you still there?

[Zero] They made me relive the creation of my monster.

By creating a Bioweve, I destroyed everything and everyone.

No sell. Where was Demar?

[gasps] The Codec!

[Librarian] Embrace your destiny!

[Mika] We don't know how he lost the upgrade.

It just happened.

There's a full-scale rebellion going on here!

[siren blaring]

[laser firing]

Hey, guys, thanks for the workout,

but, uh, I think my friends have something they'd like to say to you.

A sort of thank you for all the imprisoning and yelling

and enslaving stuff.

See?

[laser fire]

[footsteps approaching]

Your little dream of a rebellion has come to a close.

Hi, Zero. Got my message, then?

Sorry to drop in unannounced.

[laser firing]

Guardian, start jumping as many of the kids on this planet

up to Rogue as you can.

Okay, people, we're moving out.

-You are something else. -Oh, I...

You got the rebellion willing, Mika. It's happening.

It's happening because of you.

The three of you. Tag, Gem and Prisoner Zero.

-You're a symbol, Zero. -This is exciting, I've got to say.

All the kids the Imperium kidnapped.

This is just the beginning.

Welcome to the Zero Rebellion.

[Zero] A decade ago, the Imperium created the Bioweve,

a digital nightmare they wired into our brains.

They locked me away, stole my memories,

left me with nothing.

Then one day, I was rescued and taken aboard the Rogue.

Now my friends and I are going to shut down the Bioweve

and free humanity

because I am Prisoner Zero.

[theme music playing]

[chattering]

How long until all the kids are jumped up?

We're not even halfway there.

Just how many freed kids are there?

I don't know... 2,000, maybe 3,000.

That many?

Okay, the Imperium is on its way. We gotta make a plan.

[Gem] The Viper. That's Kai's ship.

Great. It's not alone.

Hello, Zero.

And the rest?

Oh, hello.

You're new.

I thought I'd drop by.

Decided to start a rebellion, did we?

Oh, that's so nice for you.

Too bad when the Orabora Station gets here you'll all be marching to my tune.

Your tune? Not Vykar's?

There's a new general in town.

Or, there will be after today.

Events are...in motion.

-What do you want, Kai? -I want you.

Give yourself up to me, I let your friends keep their freedom.

Don't and, well...you can guess the rest.

So, come with me or--

Well, that was rude.

What did she mean, things are in motion?

The Orabora Station is nearly here.

And you say that's the thing that turns everyone back into Imperium drones?

-Right? -Yep.

What do we do?

We only just freed everyone from the Upgrade.

They can't go through it again.

Zero?

[Librarian] Zero?

Zero, there is still time.

Maybe if I just--

Don't even think about giving yourself up.

None of this happens without you.

I wish we could fight,

but when the Imperium can just click a button

and turn people into--

What are you saying?

I'm saying I don't know what to do.

Luckily I do.

Um, is this a new thing we're doing? Letting Vykar's guys just butt in?

I need your help, Zero.

We've kind of got our hands full here, thanks.

Oh, your little rebellion. Charming.

No, this is serious.

Vykar's been getting above himself.

His plans are...concerning.

And you're telling me this because...

Because you're the only one who's ever stopped him.

Vykar's headed to an embargoed planet.

When he gets there he's going to do something bad.

Really very bad.

He's going to Dosk.

Dosk?

[children chattering]

Ha-ha. It worked.

Oh, Daro. Daro, do you know what I've done?

You mean, other than invade the minds of two citizens of Dosk?

Oh, whatever. I've created the future.

This technology...

the Faculty will want it.

Oh, who cares about the Imperium's high command?

Professor, this works.

The Bioweve.

We actually connected with two people's minds.

Oh, I connected them.

I made them happy!

So, you synthesized an emotion in a citizen without their consent?

Well, congratulations.

Oh, lighten up.

Progress sacrifices morality.

Let's do it again.

Look, the Bioweve test worked under laboratory conditions, yes.

But, I'm asking you to slow down.

Think for once, don't just act.

If we magnify the range,

we should be able to beam straight into the minds

of everyone in the city.

Maybe the entire planet.

No. No, it's too ambitious.

Too dangerous.

Listen, I'm not one of your two-bit lab technicians, Daro.

There's always the safety. I can always shut it off.

No.

No, this has gone far enough.

We're not ready for what this is.

No-one is ever ready for the future when it arrives,

but, what I've woven IS the future.

The Bioweve.

It's going to change everything and it all starts here.

With this.

The Codec is the heart of it.

Everyone can be connected.

This locks it all together.

And I'm the key to it all. [snickers]

You're the key?

What is it doing?

Creating connections. Creating happiness.

This is humanity's next step!

And in the wrong hands?

It sounds like you could control the minds of everyone on Dosk,

brainwash them.

Maybe. But, I mean, how it's used will be up to the Imperium.

You don't have to give the Faculty any new tools.

There's too much bad in the world already.

Too much bad?

Grow up.

This is going to change the cosmos.

It's going to be the greatest gift humanity has ever received.

[electricity crackling]

[screaming]

Well, well, well.

Still alive, then?

For all the good it's done you.

You have the dubious honor of being the only living thing left on Dosk.

What did you do?

The... Bioweve.

I'm the key. I'm...

The Bioweve?

Hmm. Isn't that interesting?

And you're the key to all this?

Your genius locked away inside your head.

Never mind, this world is dead.

But, you're not.

My colleagues here will look after you.

They'll get that key, wherever it is.

And then all this power will be my power.

You destroyed an entire world.

Killed your friends, family,

everything and everyone you ever knew.

Huh. Congratulations.

Still, not to worry.

Very soon no-one will even remember your name.

Not even you.

You'll just be a forgotten prisoner.

Prisoner Zero.

If Vykar's going to Dosk, so am I. Send the coordinates.

- Well, isn't that... -What about the other kids?

Mika, what we're doing here is important,

but if I don't get to Dosk, it's all going to be for nothing.

No, no, no, no. This is important.

This is what we need to be doing. Freeing the slaves.

I need you to trust me.

You've remembered something, haven't you?

You're starting to remember who you are.

What's so special about Dosk?

If that's a bad guy calling us again, I'm gonna flip.

[Gem] Kai's ship. It's coming in fast.

This is me flipping.

[muffled screaming]

Kai to Zero.

This is your last chance.

-I... -Yep, I surrender. Come and get me.

Oh... What?

I said, "Come and get me."

I'm lowering the shields, opening the cargo bay.

Oh.

Okay, good.

[Primua] Soon.

Lady Kai, I surrender.

[Kia] I'm trusting you to honor your word, Zero.

-No tricks. -I'm cooperating.

Good. Get up, move.

[Tag whistling]

You said you were cooperating!

I am cooperating. But, I never said they were.

[grunts]

[footsteps approaching]

That worked better than I thought it would.

The Orabora Station's nearly here.

Guardian, I think you should stay here.

These kids need your help.

[dramatic music playing]

[Primua] The Omegas are departing.

Fascinating.

Zero, what's so special about Dosk?

It's just flashes of memory, but they're not good flashes.

I think I did something very, very bad.

Right.

What's so special about Dosk?

-I can't be sure. -I'm not asking you.

But, the Imperium database on this ship may be another story.

Aha! All the entries on Dosk are encrypted. Excellent.

Excellent?

[Tag] Yeah, 'cause why encrypt something

unless it's one of the Imperium's dirty little secrets?

[Gem] Yeah, and it's encrypted. We're locked out.

Don't you know me?

[beeping]

[Guardian] We need to leave.

Okay, Guardian.

Kai's secure in the brig and all the kids are finally aboard.

Have I mentioned that I love this ship?

[Tag] Oh, man! Look at this!

Is that Dosk?

Why would the Imperium hide it? It's amazing!

Yeah. It was.

Everything here is saying that Dosk was, like,

the scientific center of the Imperium or, something.

But, then 11 years ago, all the data just stops.

Like the whole planet just disappeared.

[sighs] It wouldn't be the first world Vykar destroyed.

It wasn't Vykar.

How do you...

What do you know?

What's so important about Dosk?

[alarm blaring]

[thudding]

Those are all Imperium battleships.

Zero, I need you not to go running into something

trying to end the Bioweve at any cost.

At your cost.

I need you.

And you're not in a state to go up against Vykar.

Guys, can we please do something about blocking this guy from our comms?

Hello, Zero. I thought I'd check in.

What happened here?

You're entering the remains of an Imperium blockade.

Hundreds of vessels were protecting the embargoed world beyond.

Then Vykar happened.

-Should we go back? -We can't.

If there's something on Dosk...

-If Vykar's there... -You can't leave.

I asked you to help me. We had a deal.

How about you just zip it for a minute?

I have a rule to always have something over everyone I play with.

A card up my sleeve.

What card should I play, I wonder?

How about the one where I get to reprogram your lovely spaceship's engines

and tell them to overload,

and we all sit back and watch the pretty fireworks?

How about that card?

Ah, you'd need the key codes to the Rogue.

And your old chum Del's been rather helpful with those more than once.

And...off we go!

[siren wails]

The self-destruct key codes of the Rogue have been activated.

I cannot override them.

There must be something you can do!

I am rerouting power to try to boost my access,

attempting to override the original command.

[powers down]

What do you say?

Stop it! Stop it! We'll help!

If you don't deactivate it, I will find you,

and you will regret that.

Well...I-I think I've said what I needed to say.

I'll see you on Dosk. Au revoir.

So, what happened? How did you stop the self-destruct?

I did nothing.

I suspect we were hacked by Prime Tactician Barqel.

He then deactivated the key codes for some reason.

You pulled all the ship's power up here,

which means the power was off everywhere else.

Including...

Lady Kai's cell.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[laser firing]

[explosion]

[footsteps approaching]

[grunts]

Hi. I'm Kai.

I don't really know what we're walking into,

but, it's nothing good.

The two of you should go back.

Don't be crazy.

We do this together...always.

Thank you. For everything.

[whirring]

This is my home world.

-What? -Makes sense.

Eleven years ago, Dosk, this super-important world, goes boom,

which then gets totally covered up conspiracy-style.

Three years after that, the Bioweve starts getting rolled out

across the Imperium.

Meanwhile, you're sitting pretty in a prison cell built just for you

with no clue about who you were before.

And now we spend half our time getting chased around by lunatics

who want to get all up in your brain and see how it works.

Because...

they know that you know something that you don't think you know.

You're right.

This is where it all started.

-What? -[Barqel] Yes.

What do you mean by that, Zero?

Seriously?

I'm sick of this guy butting into our conversations.

You need to wear a bell.

Uh-uh-uh-uh.

One slip of my finger and your pet robot,

the big blue wizard and anyone else aboard the Rogue

can play a final round of How Many Atoms Can I Be Blown Into?

-Where's Vykar? -Waiting for you.

He's in one of his "Aargh!" moods, ramped up to a hundred.

So, I'm leaving.

Where is he?

Don't worry. He's provided an escort.

[grunts]

-Del! -Del, listen to me.

You're our friend. You know what the Imperium is capable of.

The Imperium has brought years of stability and progress to its citizens.

All you guys have given those same people is hardship, heartbreak and destruction.

-That's not true! -Isn't it?

Tell me one thing, Gem, just one thing, you've done

that hasn't involved destruction and damage

to innocent people happily living under the Imperium's protection.

You know that's not true.

Yeah?

Don't forget, I worked with you, lived with you.

I know exactly what we achieved over the last year.

Everything we did was wrong.

This isn't you speaking.

You just need to come back to us...to me.

Guys, I think we need to do what he wants.

I need to deal with my past, face the consequences of my actions.

Isn't that right, Del?

[grunts]

The General will see you now.

-Whoa! -[thudding]

[grunts]

[electricity crackling]

Vykar?

I always knew you'd return.

Welcome home, Zero.

Welcome back to the scene of your greatest crime.

Oh, Vykar.

[evil laughter]

You are mistaken.

I am no longer Vykar,

I am Ascendant!

[laser firing]

I see it's all come back to you.

The memories, the pain.

Now, I've already used the blueprints to your mind that Barqel provided

to tether myself to the Bioweve.

But that's just the beginning.

Nothing to what I will become when I access the Codec.

But, to do that, I will need the key.

This might hurt.

[screaming]

No!

This moment is our destiny.

[electricity crackling]

At last! Finally.

The raw power of the Bioweve.

And it is mine!
