The narrator finishes her story by telling how a Starro motherstar once took the planet Hatorei, but because of the natives’ complete psychic connection, Cobi, with the combined will of his entire people, was able to overcome the control of the newly hatched replacement motherstar, fuse with her, and grow up to become Starro the Conqueror.
