- While chasing a gua prisoner through a forest, Cade is somehow transported to another dimension. Where he meets a mysterious humanoid, Xevallah that claims to be the last of his race. But before Cade can leave, he has to learn that the fight for the survival of Earth is not only physical but spiritual as well.—Anonymous
- Cade, Crazy Eddie and Joshua are ambushed by a Gua patrol. They agree to split up to avoid them all being captured. Cade runs into a quantum pocket and disappears. Crazy Eddie is captured by the Gua patrol. In the pocket Cade meets an alien, who offers to be Cade's teacher. The alien is from a world that was destroyed by the Gua and does not want Cade to make the same mistakes that he did. The alien tells Cade that he must face his demons, which he can do by leaving the circle in the portal. Cade does this and discovers that his demons are hate and rage towards the Gua and his inability to forgive them for the death of his wife. Cade dies while facing his demons, but the alien brings him back to life with a portion of his spirit. The alien gives Cade food and drink, which he reveals to be Gua body and blood after Cade has eaten them. The alien did this to strengthen Eddie spiritually to defeat the Gua. The alien persuades Cade to burn his hand in a flame, to gain wisdom. Cade reluctantly does this and the alien heals his wounds. Then they go out and face Cade's demons together on the surface of a ruined planet. Cade thinks that this is the alien's planet until he sees a Coke can and he realizes that he is on earth after a Gua invasion. Cade has a vision of Eddie being killed by a Gua wearing a helmet. He is about to kill this Gua, but waits and sees the Gua revealed as Joshua. Cade kills a different Gua identified by Joshua as the one who killed Eddie. Then Joshua disappears revealing this to have been an illusion but also an important tests. Back in the circle, the alien reveals that he has given Cade all of his spirit in portions and that it is time for the alien to leave the circle. Before leaving the alien reveals that he is one of two survivors of his race, the other being Nostradamus. Cade then leaves the quantum pocket and rescues Eddie from the Gua patrol. They find Joshua and drive off, however, Cade tells Eddie to be respectful to Joshua (who is a Gua), showing that he has gained wisdom from his experiences in the quantum pocket.
