Valeena is shocked at first, not quite sure what to do for a moment, before returning the hug, crying into Karkat's shoulder and clinging to him like she fears he'll disappear if she lets go.

Meanwhile, the Super Robot makes a landing on the Hero Planet. The Hyperforce rushes out.

"Well, these creatures clearly aren't the work of anyone we know, much less Valeena, but this could be a good place to start-uh..." Gibson pauses and stops in his tracks, along with the rest of the Hyperforce, as they see the last thing any of them expected to see - Valeena, the exact person they were looking for because she was clearly emotionally unstable and whether she was actively malevolent anymore or not that combined with her preexisting powers and the apparent boost she got was bound to lead to something getting destroyed...hugging someone and crying. Without any wreckage.

"Uh..." Jinmay looks at the others. "Should we..."

"No." Antauri looks at Karkat and Valeena, then back at his team. "I believe Valeena will be in good hands for the time being."

There's a moment of silence.

"...Ooookay, I'm just going to spare myself a headache and say we'll figure out whatever that means later." Sparx's hands then transform into red horseshoe magnets. "So let's crush these cubes!"

The rest of the team nods, Antauri's hands turn into purple claws, Gibson's hands turn into drills, Nova's hands turn into giant fists, Otto's hands turn into buzzsaws, and Jimnay's body gains a noticeable chrome sheen as her metal plating becomes far more apparent.

"Hyperforce, GO!" The team splits up in different directions to fight the cube creatures...except Otto, who seems to be thinking about something.

"Wait..." Otto looks at the two. "Are they-"

Gibson then grabs Otto and pulls him into the fight.

Meanwhile, behind a certain limo, Eliza and her bodyguards watch the battle as Anon is slicing through cube monsters left and right.

Horace clears his throat. "Ah, my lady...should we go now? The limosuine is undamaged. We can leave like we intended to back when the Legion attacked..."

Eliza is silent for a moment. And then she stands, Staff of Ra in hand.

"You know what?" Eliza turns to the cube creatures, her eyes becoming black and yellow. "I'm tired of hiding."

And Eliza pounces, leaving a trail of blood and dead cube monsters in her wake.

She has a lot of frustration to work out, and thankfully Anon isn't paying attention to her at the moment.

Peacock and Big Band burst onto the battlefield. "Alright, let's paint-"

And then she stops in her tracks as she sees Eliza send cube monsters flying with statues of blood before flying at them with wings of blood and tearing them apart. "Is that...Eliza!? Annoying, pop song-singing, randomly Egyptian-themed celebrity Eliza!? Actually being badass!? EVERYTHING I KNEW ABOUT CELEBRITIES IS A LIE! A LIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!"

Big Band lets Peacock be melodramatic for a few moments. "You done?"

"Yup!" Peacock grins. "Let's kick some ass!"
