The Pony Marines succeeded in defending the foundry and returned to the Ponigeddon.

"Well done, Commander Hammerheart." said Spike. "Fortunately the Hogs did not manage to damage the foundry itself. These foundries are based on ancient technology that we do not fully understand. If they are damaged too badly, we cannot repair them and they are lost forever."

Afterwards, Hammerheart brought up Tangerine High Pass on screen, where the Hog lieutenant was last found. Michael Pegalos appeared on screen, as well, with more insight on the Hog.

"Commander Hammerheart," said Pegalos, "we have located one of Rippa-Shredda's lieutenants. His lieutenant is a Hog Mek that has been supplying Rippa-Shredda's horde with heavy weapons. This Mek has made a fatal mistake, however, and has revealed his position. Find him and extract Rippa-Shredda's location from him. This is our only hope of finding the astronomic array."
