He reaches a river and builds a raft to continue along the river. The bird attacks the big cats, and Kitai, after himself defending the chicks against the cats, escapes. Kitai wakes in a nest of the bird, where he is surrounded by big cats. He skydives from the mountaintop, but is captured by a large bird of prey and his communicator is damaged. Believing that his father still sees him as a disappointment, Kitai blames Senshi's death on Cypher's absence on the day of the attack. Knowing that the only way to make it with the two capsules would be to skydive, Cypher orders Kitai to abort the mission. The following day, Kitai reaches a mountaintop and Cypher learns about the broken capsules. That night, Kitai listens to Cypher tell him a story of when he was attacked by an Ursa, how he realized that fear is merely an illusion created by the mind's thoughts of the future, and thus he first began to "ghost" himself from the Ursas, choosing to live rather than to let his enemies, both fear and the Ursas, decide his fate. Kitai lies to Cypher, not informing him of the damaged capsules.

Cypher warns him to avoid the highly evolved fauna and flora and be careful of violent thermal shifts. Cypher gives Kitai his weapon, a wrist communicator and six capsules of a fluid that enhances the oxygen intake so he can breathe in Earth's low-oxygen atmosphere. Inside, is the backup beacon, which they can use to signal Nova Prime. Cypher instructs Kitai to locate the tail section of the ship, which broke off on entry to the atmosphere. Both of Cypher's legs are broken, and the main beacon for firing a distress signal is damaged. Kitai's mother Faia convinces Cypher to take Kitai on his last voyage before retirement.ĭuring flight, however, their spaceship is caught by an asteroid shower, causing them to crash-land on the now-quarantined Earth. Kitai trains to become a Ranger like Cypher, but his application is rejected due to his recklessness, and Cypher views him as a disappointment. Meanwhile, Cypher's son Kitai Raige blames himself for the death of his sister Senshi at the hands of an Ursa. After teaching this technique to the other Rangers, he leads the Ranger Corps to victory.
