It’s the final battle between The Mighty Zodiac and the Moon Rabbit Army! Great Tiger Ho has been transformed. Master Long is transformed. And Rabbit One has a game changing transformation of his own before the dust settles at Twilight’s Bastion. Who will be the last warriors standing?

The Moon Rabbits are coming! The Moon Rabbits are coming! Master Long is too weak to defend Dragon’s Bastion so it’s up to Hess and Great Tiger Ho to fight back the invaders until the rest of the Mighty Zodiac return from their mission. The death of a warrior has been foretold-which one will it be?

As the entire clan gathers at Twilight’s Bastion, Master Long is ready to make the ultimate sacrifice-but does he have all the stars that he needs? Does he still need to send The Mighty Zodiac after the other stars? Meanwhile, the Moon Rabbit Army approaches while the fate of Great Tiger Ho hangs in the balance!

Ho has arrived at Twilight’s Bastion with a star, but it’s… done something to him. As Hess and the others watch over him, Ho relives key moments from his past, including his friendship with Rang-and Rang’s betrayal.
