Synopsis:
Terataya and T'Charr arrive in the world of Druspa Tau. They are the Lords of Order and Chaos responsible for creating Hawk and Dove. They battle M'Shulla while Hawk and Dove battle Flaw and Child. After Hawk wins his battle by shattering Flaw, Kestrel attacks him. Dove then separates Kestrel from Ren. Kestrel is left without a host, so Hawk absorbs him.

Hawk and Dove then seek out their creators who are now dying. The Lords of Order and Chaos are absorbed into Hawk and Dove, who are returned to Earth. Ren is able to return to Earth with the help of Barter, who takes Kestrel's memories in exchange.
