That’s when Xev and Stan push Kai off the edge of the city. After waiting, they happen to notice a balloon picking him up. Turns out that Kai is still out of alignment. The balloon ends up heading over to a city. Xev starts walking off.
Stanley: Where are you going?
Xev: To that city.
Stanley: How?
Xev: I don’t know.
That’s when they both come across a familiar face.
Xev: Prince!
Prince stands there, doesn’t say anything, but smile.
Xev: So Prince, I suppose that is your new city.
Prince: Where?
Xev: Where your balloon is taking Kai.
Prince walks passed Xev and over by the window, where Stan is standing.
Prince: That is not one of my balloons. Besides, that city is called Hogtown. I’m not ruler there.
Stanley: Why not?
Prince: Cause I don’t like it.
That’s when Prince points out another city to Stan and Xev.
Prince: There’s my new city. It’s a lot like the old one. Yet, nothing much changes here.
Stanley: Well, we don’t believe you.
Prince turns to face Stan.
Prince: If the balloon was one of mine, it would have picked me up. Don’t you agree?
Xev: How ‘bout here? Do you rule this place too?
Prince: No. It is far too unruly. I’m a visitor here just like you.
Prince says as he turns his head to answer Xev.
Stanley: Boy, I don’t trust you.
Then turns his head back to face Stan.
Prince: Then, I’m not trustworthy.
That’s when Stan takes Xev aside to talk privately.
Stanley: That is his balloon, I’m sure of it.
Xev: How?
Stanley: Like he said, he’s not trustworthy. So, when he says “it is his balloon”, I say it’s not.
Then Xev walks up to Prince, from behind. Prince could hear her footsteps.
Prince: So Xev, come for another kiss?
Prince asks sarcastically.
Prince: Look, the balloon has landed on Hogtown.
Stanley: So, is Hogtown dangerous?
Prince: No...Yes.
Then Prince turns to face Stan.
Prince: It’s not there actions that kill you, but the process will finish you off.
Xev: Well, they have Kai, so we’ll have to go over there and get him.
Prince: How?
Stanley: It doesn’t matter how we get there, cause we need to get to the Lexx where it’s safe.
Prince: How? Perhaps, you can spread wings and fly. Can you do that?
Stanley: No!
Prince: Neither can I.
Prince says sarcastically.
Stanley: That’s a relief.
That’s when Prince lets out a small chuckle. Xev has folded her arms, around her waist, to hide her small protuding belly bulge, so Prince wouldn’t notice.
Prince: So, it’s Stanley, Prince and Xev stuck together. I guess it’s time for us to make a deal. A deal that works for us all.
Stanley: You’re not gonna help us and that’s for sure.
Xev: And why should we help you?
Prince: Now, you want Kai and I want to destroy the planet Water. So, I will agree to take you to Kai if you agree to help me destroy Water.
Prince says with his hands around his back.
Stanley: No way, pal. You said it yourself that you’re not trustworthy.
Prince: True, but I never break my deals.
Xev: How will you bring us to Kai?
Prince: I know a way to get to Hogtown.
Stanley: You already told us. Sprout wings and fly.
Stan says sarcastically.
Prince: A real one.
Xev: Do you have a balloon?
Prince: Nope!
Stanley: Okay, so we can’t walk or fly across the desert, so that means you don’t have a way.
Prince: I do too.
Stanley: Then what is it?
Prince, again, chuckles.
Prince: Do we have a deal?
Xev: No, we are not gonna make a deal, cause you don’t know the way to get to Kai.
Prince: I do too!
Stanley: He’s lying.
Stan says to Xev.
Prince: I may be bad, but I always stick to my deals and I rarely ever lie. It’s much more fun to tell the truth.
Xev: So, if you do know a way to get to Kai, we’ll find it too.
Prince: Good luck.
As Prince walks off, he turns around to make one last remark.
Prince: I don’t really mean that.
Xev: Of course, not.
Then Prince continues to walk off.
Stanley: That’s just great. How are we gonna get to the city.
Xev: A walk across the desert?
Xev says sarcastically.
Stanley: Being in your present condition, being with child and all, not even you can walk across that.
Xev: Then Prince will take us.
Stanley: What?
Xev: We didn’t help him, so next he’ll try Kai.
Xev says and starts walking off. Stan follows after her seconds later. It wasn’t long before they see Prince, from a distance, turn a corner down a corridor. Xev and Stan follow after him. It wasn’t long before they come across a long flight of stairs, which seem to look like it doesn’t have an end to them.
Stanley: That’s a lot of steps. Perhaps it doesn’t have a bottom.
Xev: It has too.
Stanley: I don’t think I can walk down that many steps.
Xev: Got any other ideas?
Half way down, Xev started to feel hungry again. For sure, she knows that she’s with child now, cause it seems like she’s always hungry. Being with child, usually leads to fatigue. Instead, she has a boost of energy, which motivates her to count each step on the way to the bottom. Stan, on the other hand, just won’t stop whining about how exhausted he is. Xev just shuts him out by continuing to count the steps.
Even coming down to the last row of steps, Stan is still whining.
Stanley: This must be easy for you, cause you’re part cluster-lizard. For being pregnant, I’m surprised you’re not exhausted yet. I don’t know if I can last much longer in this kind of heat. Also, we haven’t seen Prince since we left the top.
That’s when Xev takes the last step.
Xev: We’re at the bottom.
Stanley: Are you sure?
Xev: I counted the steps. That was step 39,000 exactly. That’s enough steps to reach the bottom.
Stanley: That’s nice.
Stan says sarcastically, even though he’s exhausted.
Stanley: So, where to now?
Xev: Wanna go back up again?
Xev says jokingly to Stan, trying to lighten the mood.
Stanley: No! What are you trying to do, kill me?
Xev: Relax, I was kidding.
Then Xev changes the subject.
Xev: So, which direction should we go, then?
Stanley: You pick. That way, when something goes wrong, there’s the satisfaction of blaming you.
Xev: Thanks, Stan.
Xev wets her right index finger, with her mouth, and sticks it in the air to feel a breeze. She quickly notices the breeze coming from her right and points down that direction.
Xev: The air is coming from that direction and it’s cooler.
Stan sticks his hand out and actually feels the light breeze. As Xev starts walking off, but notices Stan not following her. He’s exhausted and leaning up against a wall to rest.
Xev: Coming?
Stanley: I’m tired, Xev.
Xev: I’ll help you.
Xev puts her arm around Stan, so he could use her as a leaning post as he walked down the long and barely lit tunnel.
Stanley: I hope that we don’t have to go much further.
Xev: It shouldn’t be too far.
Xev says to give Stan some encouragement and hope to keep going. After a few minutes, Stan starts to feel exhausted again. Why? Cause Xev is now walking ahead of Stan.
Stanley: Xev, you better slow down. I’m gonna overheat. Maybe we should go back.
Xev: To what?
Stanley: I wish I had something to protect myself.
Xev: From what?
Xev asks as she just keeps walking. She’s hungry and needs to find food to feed her unborn child. Even though she knows her unborn child belongs to Prince, it’s her maternal instinct to nourish her unborn child.
Stanley: Be careful, Xev.
Stan calls out to her.
Xev: I will.
Just as Stan took a small breather, Xev was gone and out of sight. Both, now alone, are unaware of what’s lurking in the tunnels. On the other hand, just soon after Xev morphed into a lizard to consume her “couple of rats” lunch, she goes back to walking down the tunnels. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to hold her over for a little while. While wiping the left-over blood, from her meal, from her mouth, she was to distracted to notice that she fell into a trap. A trap, which a net snares her.
As Stan calls out for Xev, all he could hear was a faint noise, of a person, repeating to himself “I know I shouldn’t”. He sees a man sitting on the floor, repeating “I know, I shouldn’t”. As Stan tried to walk by unnoticed, the man grabs his hand. This man had a strange name. He was referred as Rainbow and he wore ratty clothes and a weird head piece on his head.
Rainbow: Don’t go down there!
The man says as a warning.
Stanley: Thanks for the advice.
But the man still wouldn’t let go of Stan’s hand.
Rainbow: Don’t go down there!
Stanley: Why?
Rainbow: They’ll hurt you. They always do.
Stanley: Let go of my hand, cause I gotta find Xev.
Rainbow: Who’s Xev?
Stanley: My friend. She just passed through here, minutes ago. I’m surprised you didn’t see her. So, if you let go of my hand, I’ll go get her.
Rainbow: Okay.
Just as Stan’s hand was freed, he rises to his feet. His mistake was lending a hand to help this other guy to his feet. Rainbow reaches for Stan’s helping hand and pulls him down to the ground. He sits on to of Stan and uses his hand, to cover his mouth, to hold him down as Stan struggles.
Rainbow: I’m a doctor. You can trust me.
Rainbow, who has a fetish for sniffing shoes, ends up taking Stan into a room filled with medical make-shift tools and ties up Stanley to an upward, hanging slab, where he continues to threaten to cut Stan open and operate on him. Stan’s useless screaming for help, didn’t exactly do much for him, cause no one could hear him, except Rainbow.
Xev is in a tough spot herself. She is captured by three laughing and psycho ballerinas in ragged tights, which seem to have a fetish for bear traps. The ballerinas drag Xev, tied up in rope, and place her head at the opening of a big bear trap. There were a couple of close calls, but they pull Xev out before the bear trap closes. Her cluster-lizard growl doesn’t do much good, since she is tied up. If she wasn’t, the ballerinas would be cluster-lizard lunch for her and her unborn child.
Back over to where Stan is, Rainbow gets ready to stab Stan, with a make-shift knife, but is interrupted by someone familiar...Prince. Apparently, Prince had heard Stan’s cry for help. Prince ends up taking the knife, out of Rainbow’s right hand and watches as Rainbow runs out of the room. Stan thanks Prince after he helps him off the slab.
Stanley: I have to say “thank you”, but I have to ask why.
Prince: Consider it as a good will gesture. If I help you, you’ll eventually help me.
Stanley: I won’t help you blow up another planet.
Stan changes the subject.
Stanley: Where’s Xev?
Prince: Unlike you, she’s also in a spot of trouble.
Then the ballerinas drag Xev to an area with a lot more bear traps, of different sizes and try to push her into them, but Xev keeps resisting. That’s when Prince comes along and pushes the ballerinas into the pit of bear traps, killing them all in gruesome deaths, as if no one should mess with his woman. Xev looks up and relieved to see a familiar face.
Prince: Saved by your Prince.
Prince says as he helps her up to her feet. Walking down the tunnels together, they have a conversation to pass the time.
Stanley: It’s hot, but not like it is on the surface. Why is that?
Prince: It’s the geology. The rock produce some heat, but not as much. It is possible for a human being to survive down here for a few days, at least. Survive the heat, that is.
Xev: Why?
Prince: The people who are condemned, down here, don’t have their own city. They are the bad of the bad, the sick and truly evil. They kill for the sheer act of killing. Up until now, they only had each other to hunt down. Then, you guys came along and made things more interesting.
Stanley: It wasn’t interesting for me.
Prince: Not for you, but for them. You two haven’t even died once, yet. Not since the day you were born.
Xev: You said “born”. How come? I thought you didn’t know that people were born.
Prince: You once spoke of people being born, where you come from. Don’t you remember, Xev?
That’s when Prince stops in his tracks and points into a direction in front of him.
Prince: That is the way to Hogtown, where they took your dead man in black.
Then Prince walks off into the direction he pointed. He notices Xev and Stan following behind and makes a statement.
Prince: They can come from ahead, from behind, above or below. No where is safe in the tunnels.
At that point, they reach, on what appears to be a dead end to a tunnel. Stan thought he’d been had, by Prince, until Prince tells him to look up at the crawlspace hole above them.
Stanley: There’s no way that I’m crawling in that little hole.
Prince: That’s okay. You can stay down here, if you like. Alone in the tunnels.
That’s when Prince crawls up and out of the whole first and waits for Xev and Stan. Before Xev could climb out, Stan makes a remark.
Stanley: I don’t trust him.
Xev: Neither do I, but these tunnels are not safe for me and unborn child.
Stanley: I still think you’re making a mistake of going up there.
Xev: Then, you can stay down in the tunnels.
Just as Xev reached up into the whole, she climbs out. On the other hand, at the top of the city, Kai had managed to get the city’s bureaucrats, whom he was captured by, to throw him off the edge of the city, to fix his alignment. Once his alignment was taken care of, Kai ends up taking one of the city’s balloons. Back to the room filled with stacks of paper, just after Xev crawls out of the whole and rises to her feet. Prince looks down and at her midsection and compliments.
Prince: May I say, Xev. You’re putting on some weight for a love slave.
Xev: I was hoping you wouldn’t notice.
Prince: Aren’t you worried about being less beautiful?
Xev: Not really. I do know that I haven’t eaten in a while, so I’m really hungry.
Prince: What food do you like to eat?
Xev: Anything, I guess. As long as it’s edible.
Prince: I’m sure, if you walk around, you’ll find something.
Just as Xev walks off, Prince walks back over to the hole, waiting for Stan to climb up. He does end up seeing a balloon in the sky, with Kai in it, from a distance.
Prince: Hello, Stanley.
Stanley: Prince. Where’s Xev?
Prince: Exploring. So, are you gonna come up?
Stanley: I really hate small and tiny places.
Prince: Well, you can stay down there, if you want to, but I should advise you. They always stay down there in the tunnels. It’s part of their punishment.
Stanley: Now, you tell me.
Just before Stan could climb up in the hole, he is caught by the familiar doctor Rainbow. Stan is startled and starts fleeing and screaming for help, as he’s being chased by Rainbow in the tunnels. Of course, Prince follows after him. Stan ends up into the doctor’s room and ends up being stabbed by another doctor, who calls himself doctor Bunz. Before Bunz could stab Stan, Prince comes in and tries to wrestle the knife out of the doctor’s hand. But, he is outnumbered. Bunz ends up stabbing Prince through the gut. Rainbow’s last move was to not only stab Bunz in the rib cage, but put the same knife through Prince’s back. Prince and both doctors are down, but the doctors die first.
Prince calls Stanley over to him, even as he appears to be in pain as he bleeds out.
Prince: I wanted you to love me, Stanley.
Stanley: Yeah right! I heard that before. Are you dying?
Prince: Yes, but I’m used to it.
As Prince breaths his last word, he turns around after hearing Xev’s voice. Or, is it Xev?
Stanley: Xev, I’m glad to see you.
Xev 2: What happened here?
Stanley: Well, one guy came after me and then another guy, but then Prince...
As Stan points out Prince’s body, Prince’s body was no where to be seen.
Stanley: I don’t get it. Prince’s body was just here. It just disappeared.
Xev 2: Prince does that.
Stanley: Then, lets get out of here.
Xev 2: I recommend that.
Just as they leave the room, Stan was quite surprised that Xev knew where she was going. Once they were outside, Stan thought he was doomed, until he spots an approaching balloon, which contained Kai. Kai lowers the gondola to let Stan and Xev on. Stan, thanking for being saved.
