Savannah Nix is walking in the desert when she finds Max and drags him on a sled to the Crack in the Earth. Finn McCoo runs to Savannah and she tells him that she found Captain Walker. Max is brought still unconscious, to the center of the camp and is surrounded by The Hunters, The Guardians and The Gatherers. Mr. Skyfish tries to contact Mr. Walker and Gekko and Anna Goanna use a record attached to a stick to try and contact Max with sonic. Scrooloose pulls the string on his talking Bugs Bunny doll and then hugs it. Savannah cuts Max's hair and he eventually wakes up. Slake tells Max that they are the waiting boys and they have been waiting for him. Savannah then tells Max the story of the Lost Children, who were in a plane with adults who fled when the bombs started to fall. The plane eventually crashed due to turbulence and the surviving children were told to wait by the adults who left with Captain Walker to get help. Max tells them that he isn't Captain Walker, but they insist he is and take him to a plane half buried in the sand. Tubba Tintye tells Max that they are ready to go, but Max just walks away. Later, Savannah bangs a gong and asks the others, who is with her to leave. Anna reminds Savannah that Max was almost dead when Savannah found him and Max tells them about Bartertown and that there is no Tommorow-morrow Land. Savannah continues to leave with some of the children and Max grabs Slake's staff, which is actually a rifle and shoots it towards Savannah, she throws her spear in between Max's legs and he walks up to her and knocks her unconscious. In the morning, Anna wakes Max up and tells him that Savannah, Mr. Skyfish, Gekko, Scrooloose, Cusha...the pregnant girl, and Finn left in the middle of the night. Slake tells Max that Savannah and the others have been gone for half a night or less and Max prepares to go after them with Anna. Anna tells Slake and Mr. Scratch that they will need a Hunter and Tubba Tintye is nominated.
