Next, they were surprised when a sudden earthquake developed into an active volcano; Omnus protected his companions from danger by swinging them on a vine across the molten lava. They next encountered a small stream that Terry determined was harmless with an [[aqua-analyzer]]. As they waded through, Vermin transformed the stream into a strong whirlpool, and they were shot out of the vortex and into a bubble cell. They landed on the outskirts of the Domed City, visible now that Vermin had lifted the mist, and the villain was there to personally greet them. When Terry refused to recognise Vermin's authority over Princess<sub> (shudder) </sub>Ugly, Vermin placed them under arrest... and soon called attention to the fact that Robota was fainting from rapid onset rust. {{storylink|Too Close (Enough) for Comfort}} |

As Vermin left them alone to brainstorm a suitably evil punishment for them, Robota began to drift into unconsciousness, to Omnus's great concern. Terry had the idea of running the bubble cell over the edge of the cliff, which had the intended result of bursting it. Finding themselves in a rocket graveyard, Terry and Omnus set about using grease to derust Robota. Once she was back in working order, she considered herself "fine... but ugly!", prompting Terry to remind them of their mission. He led his friends into the Domed City, unimpeded due to an unrelated malfunction affecting the Mayhem Maker. |

The trio followed the sounds of monstrous snoring to the dungeon, where Terry and Omnus convinced the [[Dungeon guard|guard]] to open the princess's cell. Inside, Terry was flabbergasted to find that Princess Ugly was, in fact, beautiful, though Robota responded "Only if you think beauty is beautiful!" with a scowl. Terry gave Princess Ugly a kiss on the cheek, awakening her – though not in the manner he'd intended. Shortly, after the dungeon guard led the celebrations about the princess's revival and Vermin's deposition, Princess Ugly explained to Terry that the ''Domed'' City was in fact the ''Doomed'' City, and that the Book of the Gorkels predicted it would be destroyed after she woke up and the Mayhem Maker went haywire. As the citizens fled in their ships, Robota compared it to Friday night quitting time at the robot factory. |

Terry led his comrades to "borrow" a [[skimmer craft]] that was parked nearby, and they escaped the city just in time for the Mayhem Maker to explode, levelling the structure. The group returned to the Gorkels, who were overjoyed to be reunited with their precious princess – though the Wise One had been assured of their success thanks to the book. Princess Ugly shyly asked Terry to stay with her... er, them, something that incensed Robota, and she forcefully dragged him away and reminded him of their mission. Terry told Princess Ugly that he had to resume the search for his parents and their ship, the ''Space Warp''. The Gorkels were astonished – the wreck of the ''Space Warp'' was nearby on Gorkel! {{storylink|The Doom of the Domed City}} |
