==Synopsis==
===Part 3===
As [[Robota]] loses herself to rust, confined with [[Planet Terry]] and [[Omnus]] in a bubble cell, [[Vermin the Vile]] leaves to think of a suitably evil punishment for the three interlopers. Not even the strength of Omnus can penetrate the cell. Terry has a bright idea, and the two of them zorb towards a cliff edge. The fall is a short one, but it is enough to pop the bubble on landing. By chance, they have come to a rocket graveyard, and Terry and Omnus quickly go about using grease from the derelict ships to treat Robota's rusting. Soon she is back to her usual self, and the heroes head to the [[Domed City]] to rescue [[Princess Ugly|Princess<sub> (shudder) </sub>Ugly]].
Elsewhere, Vermin finds his [[Mayhem Maker]] to be on the blink, leaving him unable to track or impede Terry and friends. A [[Mayhem Maker Repairs, Inc.|Mayhem Maker repairman]] calls in and tells him that the fault is so severe that it'll have to go in to the shop, something [[Scavage]] squawks is a bad omen...
In the dungeon, Terry orders the [[Dungeon guard|guard]] to open the cell, which he does so with extra encouragement from Omnus. At the source of the monstrous snoring, Terry is aghast to discover Princess Ugly... to be beautiful! With a scowl, Robota replies "Only if you think ''beauty'' is beautiful!" Terry has heard of a way to awaken a sleeping princess, and plants a kiss on her check – receiving a slap in the face from Princess Ugly, who doesn't even know him.
The guard cheers that the spell has broken, and throughout the Domed City, the [[Vermin the Vile's species|people]] celebrate at having been freed from the reign of Vermin the Vile. A curious Terry asks a passer-by why the Domed City is so named if it has no dome, which the man reckons must have been written in the [[Book of the Gorkels|book]] – but Princess Ugly is on hand to correct that misconception: the book says that when the evil spell is broken, the Mayhem Maker will destroy the citadel... it is not the Domed City, but the ''Doomed'' City! The residents scatter to escape, with a cry of "Close enough!"

==Quotes==
"How do you feel, Robota?"<br>
"Fine... but ''ugly!''"<br>
"Speaking of ''ugly'', let's not forget why we're here! To rescue ''sleeping Princess<sub> (shudder) </sub>Ugly!''"
:—'''Terry''' and '''Robota''' perform a masterful segue.
'''Terry:''' "Open the princess's cell, turn key!"<br>
'''Dungeon guard:''' "Huh? ''Why?''"<br>
'''Terry:''' "So I might ''awaken'' her and ''restore'' her to her ''throne'' and to the people who yearn for her!"<br>
'''Dungeon guard:''' "That's ''not'' a good reason!"<br>
'''Omnus:''' "Open the cell or I'll ''squash you'' like a ''bug!''"<br>
'''Dungeon guard:''' "Now ''that's'' a good reason!"

===Artwork and technical errors===
*The sentence "Start ''walking'' towards the ''edge?''" ends with a question mark.
*The question "How do we ''awaken'' her!" doesn't end with a question mark.
*Princess Ugly has typically been referred to as being under a(n evil) spell. On the last page of part 3, the dungeon guard shouts that "the evil <u>spirit</u> is ''broken!''", which stands out as not quite right – unless he's referring to the jubilation felt by the Domed City residents now that Vermin is out of power.
