' | Iris informs Roger that the male Iris isn't actually a real person. He is actually a "hyper personality construct", a computer program created by the bus. The male Iris overhears this information because the real Iris accidentally announces over the intercom. The male Iris has trouble coming to terms with his lack of identity. Both Irises use their buses to circle around the Earth so fast that they catch up with their own [[temporal exhaust]] in an effort to confuse the missile systems. The plan fails, however, and the missiles lock onto the buses. | ||
They begin travelling toward the sun, planning to dematerialize at the last minute, leaving the missiles to detonate harmlessly into the sun. Unfortunately, because the missiles are locked on to the temporal exhaust, they will be able to follow the buses through space and time. | |||
The male Iris considers sacrificing himself to save Earth, as he is only a computer construct. Before doing so, he asks the original Iris why she programmed him in the first place. Because she would eventually die, she programmed a replacement in order to prevent her enemies from taking advantage of her absence and causing mayhem around the universe without anyone to stop them. | |||
Roger objects to the male Iris' sacrifice, as he prefers the male version of Iris. However, the male Iris' bus then breaks down, and the missiles catch up, destroying the bus. The female Iris then travels back in time, inside of the other bus, taking Panda and the male Iris to safety. She is able to do this because both buses are actually the same bus. | |||
The problem isn't solved yet, as the two buses are now stuck together, and they are unable to move without detonating the bombs. The male Iris sacrifices himself to save the others, but Roger, driven by love, chases after him. Although Iris and Panda think the male Iris and Roger are dead, it turns out that Roger used his sticky spittle to attach themselves to the outside of the bus. | |||
They go to the disco to celebrate, where they find out that world peace has been restored. Because all the missiles in the world have been detonated, the world powers have no choice but to live in harmony. The male Iris, who has now taken the name of Hilary, decides to stay on Earth and help Roger with his dance club. | |||
