Tribes: The Hollow Empty

Note: Hollow's Japanese name is Empty, so I'm unsure of a localized title for this episode.

Plot Synopsis
MegaMan's attacks against Hollow are not damaging him in the slightest. Aaron Boreal and the Sattella Police arrive at the scene, along with Luna, Bud and Zack. Because the whole area is surrounded by oil tankers, MegaMan figures it will be safer for everyone if he can get Hollow away from that area. In doing so, he finds out that Hollow won't chase after him, because he is connected by some sort of line between him and Dr. Orihime's limo.

It turns out Hollow is actually a human made out of Matter Waves, and his power source is coming from the limo itself. Bob Copper uses a jamming beam attack (from the first episode, yay continuity!) and it stuns Hollow long enough for MegaMan to finally make an attack. Dr. Orihime then imparts her two OOPArts into Hollow, which heals him, and the two OOPArts along with MegaMan's react together, breaking the seal of the continent of Mu, revealing it overhead. Dr. Orihime cackles as no one can stop her now!

Critique
Of course things were going to get worse before they got better, and with only two episodes to go, we're on the edge of our seats to see how this all turns out. They do spend a few minutes spilling out a few scientific nonsense covering Hollow's exsistence, but overall I think the episode is well put together.

Rating: Thumbs up!
